Author: Tough Bronze

I'm afraid it's almost the same as his father Huang Zhongxiang, but he accumulated it bit by bit on the battlefield with his sincerity and meritorious deeds!

Therefore, having personally experienced the cruelty of war, he was extremely ruthless in every moment he faced the enemy.

To be kind to your enemies is to be cruel to your own people!

"General, shouldn't we pursue him?"

"No, just looking at the direction in which they fled, we can see that these people have been defeated and there is nothing to be afraid of."

Huang Xu slowly shook his head, looking at the cavalry in the smoke and dust in the distance with a cold expression.

"But having said that, the sun is already setting in the west now, and it will be night soon. We are chasing the enemy's more than 3,000 stragglers with only a thousand soldiers and horses. Although there is a chance of winning, the number of casualties will probably increase again.

Increase."

After just one meeting, he roughly estimated the number of enemy troops, then thought about it secretly and shouted: "Wang Long, get the map!"

"promise!"

A young soldier wearing a white robe and holding a spear walked quickly and took out the map from his arms.

This is one of the most precious things in the entire Baiqi camp, and it is also the key to everyone being able to live in a deserted land in Jizhou.

I saw that the topography of the entire Hejian County was densely marked, with mountains, forests, plains, lakes... all clearly depicted.

"Since we arrived at Hejian County, we have advanced for dozens of miles, and the enemy troops have become more and more dispersed in the process. If this continues, our hunting range will become wider and wider, and Bai Qi will be exhausted from running around.

It’s not what I want to see.”

"Furthermore, let's see, judging from the situation on the map, there is only one place where these soldiers and horses can feel at ease, and that is Wuhuan City!"

"There are three roads to Wuhuan City. One is the nearest trail. Although it has to pass through the cliff, the terrain is steep and quite dangerous, but the distance is short and the speed is fast, which makes it easy for us to intercept and kill..."

Under Huang Xu's command, everyone nodded.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Huang Xu also smiled with satisfaction and said: "In that case, we will rest on the spot and set off again in half an hour to get to Wuhuan City before them."

"You can either intercept and kill Cao Zhen and other deserters, or you can wait for the gates of Wuhuan City to open, then suddenly rush out and take the city in one go!"

It sounds easy to say, but his bright eyes are extremely cold.

Speaking of which, when such a posture appears on a young general, it will give people a somewhat nondescript feeling. After all, who would think that a person with a delicate appearance and fair skin would show sophistication and fierceness on the battlefield that ordinary people cannot match.

But Huang Xu was able to do it, and even in his body, these two completely incompatible temperaments were perfectly integrated.

I think my adoptive father has already begun to "thread the needle", but I don't know to what stage he has reached.

Huang Xu is most concerned about this matter right now.

He knows very well that as long as his adoptive father sends troops, the extremely long front will be integrated bit by bit. Once the front line battlefield is captured, the entire theater will usher in the final decisive battle.

By then, I am afraid that the entire border of Hejian County will fall, and I, who is behind the enemy's rear, will become the most troublesome nail embedded in the enemy's army. I am afraid that by that time, I will face countless sieges.

But this is fine, if the enemy comes to besiege you, you can take advantage of the situation and become a living target, becoming both the enemy and your adoptive father.

I imagine that my presence will definitely make Xiahou Dun sleepless and eat well, which will have a certain impact on his arrangements for the army.

Secondly, judging from the reputation that I have gained in Hejian County recently, even if a large number of enemy troops come to besiege me, I am afraid that I will be extremely uneasy and frightened. In this way, I will definitely be able to persist in this border area.

longer.

Long enough to last until the arrival of my adoptive father.

After all, all the armies are coming to besiege him. With his adoptive father's intelligence, he will definitely know the inside story. When the adoptive father leads the army to come, he will definitely scare the enemy to death!

By then, Hejian County will be destroyed without attacking, and the first battle between Yifu and Cao's army in Jizhou will come to an end.

I'm afraid that victory in this battle will cause an unspeakable blow to the enemy!!!

The winner is king, and war is inherently cruel, but as long as it can win this first victory, the morale of the army will be greatly increased, and it will be unstoppable on the next battlefield!

A few days later, Xi Yu had arrived at Chengping, and the number of soldiers around him had also increased from the initial three thousand to tens of thousands.

He basically gathered all the scattered soldiers on the battlefield here, but for some reason, when the decisive battle was about to begin, the enemy retreated...

Yes, at this critical moment, Xia Houchun suddenly ordered the army to retreat.

What is this going on?

Xi Yu was a little curious. At this moment, he had even thought about how to greet Xia Houchun in the decisive battle, but the other party withdrew.

Is this like having constipation and taking off your pants, only to get nothing?

You must know that the morale of the army has risen to an unprecedented height with the successive victories. He is just a wave of his hand, leading the people to sing all the way and win the Hejian County.

As a result, the enemy was disconnected.

"What's going on?"

Dian Wei touched his head and felt a little baffled.

He just led the army to sweep away all the major cities on the battlefield around Hejian County, and rushed the general to Xi Yu's side.

Speaking of which, he hasn't been idle these days either.

Because his own power was extremely powerful, coupled with various advanced weapons and equipment, he wanted to let the veteran generals with rich combat experience in Qingxu's army lead some recruits who had just joined the army to gain experience points.

At the same time, it would be a good choice to recruit some capable or skilled soldiers in Cao's army.

After all, everyone knows the cruelty of war. Even if a large army wins a big battle, it will have to pay a heavy price, and the heaviest price among these is human life!

As long as there is a large-scale attrition of the army, even if it is a victorious army, it will eventually be defeated, losing its original combat effectiveness and losing lives.

Of course, there are also large armies that have maintained their illustrious reputation in the long river of history, but that kind of reputation is watered with the blood of everyone from the generals down to the foot soldiers.

On the battlefield, blood is useful, it can stimulate people's potential, but it is useless, because - everywhere...

Therefore, even though the momentum of the army is now high, there is not much attrition, and everyone attaches great importance to this aspect.

In this way, the soldiers from the previous small-scale battles have all merged into Xi Yu's army, including some surrendered enemy soldiers.

This is the most legendary coach in the world today!

As the most powerful general in the world, he made countless military exploits in his best years, such as killing Lu Bu alone, defending Hefei, and breaking through the Jizhou defense line...

In the entire Cao Jun camp, there is not a single veteran who does not know these past events.

As for the new recruits, everyone who joins the army does it for the two or two meters in their belly? For the sake of a better life?

Since there is an ever-victorious army that wants to recruit you, anyone who doesn't nod quickly is a fool!

Especially the new recruits from the enemy camp. Seeing Yu's army turning Cao's camp upside down like a whirlwind, they all surrendered before the general shouted to flee.

In this way, after several days of fighting, the number of Xi Yu's army not only did not decrease, but increased sharply.

Now, he is like an endless sea, waiting for the river-like armies to gather.

"Retreat instead of attacking... Ah! Could it be that something happened to that boy Huang Xu?"

Dian Wei smacked his chin, suddenly remembered something, and said loudly: "If that kid's head gets hot, he will be able to do something unexpected. Maybe... that kid is in the enemy's hinterland right now.

!”

Hearing this, Xi Yu understood instantly, and then shook his head with a wry smile: "Maybe this matter really has something to do with that kid."

"Hurry up, send the order, order the sentries to keep an eye on Xia Houchun's movements, and then send people to bypass the nearby enemy cities and hidden sentries, attack from inside and outside, and then go straight to the hinterland of Hejian County!!!"

Following his order, the entire camp moved in an orderly manner.

Because there were many soldiers and horses, and there were many war horses among them, the dust on the ground waved unconsciously with this movement. The magnificent aura and the momentum of shaking the earth and mountains made people's legs weak.

When Xia Houchun heard the trembling sound of the earth, he couldn't help but tremble all over.

He always felt that there were huge waves behind him, and no matter how hard he worked, he was just a drop in the ocean in the eyes of the rough waves behind him.

The most important thing is that as the army moves forward, Xia Houchun, who is on the high platform, can even see the enemy's vanguard clearly.

"The plan worked, Brother Yuan Rang, you see, they are anxious!"

Xia Houjie said excitedly: "I will immediately lead 10,000 cavalry to block their way. You will immediately lead the army back to Wuhuan. We will work together to defend Hejian County. Otherwise, all the eastern part of Jizhou will fall to Xiyu."

On your hands!"

Speaking of Xia Houjie's 10,000 cavalry, they were the most elite troops left in Cao's camp on this battlefield.

He had always looked forward to competing with the Black and White Cavalry, but they never met on the battlefield.

Unexpectedly, the opponent had already quietly passed through the layers of defense and arrived behind him.

It is said that although it is not far from here to Wuhuan, there is still some distance.

It can take at least one or two days to ride a horse, and it can take up to eight or nine days at most. Even if the other party is equipped with rare thousand-mile horses, it is impossible to get there in a short period of time without any warning.

I really don't know how Huang Xu did it. In Xia Houjie's opinion, even if he spent two full days without stopping for a moment, he might not be able to reach Wu Huan.

Especially when there are mountains and forests nearby and there are no so-called trails.

Furthermore, the sound of Baiqi's iron cavalry was different from that of an ordinary army. Even if the surrounding defenders didn't know, they would probably have planned something or even set up an ambush.

But even under such circumstances... Bai Qi still reached the hinterland of Hejian County.

I don’t know whether I should say that Huang Xu is extraordinary brave, or that he is so bold that he dares to lead his white cavalry into the enemy’s army alone. This is a taboo for military strategists!
