Chapter 269(2/2)
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Then there were three more arrows, piercing his heart, forehead and neck respectively.
The young general, whose eyes were still flashing with confusion, fell heavily from his horse and lost his breath.
Huang Xu led another wave of white cavalry, running wildly from a slope.
The white knight that blocked Cao Zhen and Wu Huan City before was only a small part of his thousands of troops.
Long before Cao Zhen came, he split the white knights into two. The white knights behind him who were waiting for work were waiting for this moment.
Because some of the defenders have been killed before, once these defenders break out, the defenders in Wuhuan City will be left with very little strength.
Huang Xu chose to rush out at this time just to capture Wuhuan City!
Soon, he took the lead and occupied the suspension bridge.
Finally, it’s time to start the general attack!
As the defenders came out in droves, he raised his lips again.
"Kill! Take Wuhuan City!"
After giving the order, Bai Qi, who was like a torrent of steel from the hillside, decisively ignored the defenders and walked towards the city instead.
To put it bluntly, he had Wu Huancheng's idea from the beginning.
As for Cao Chun and Cao Zhen, they are just bait to lure the snake out of its hole.
Wuhuan City is an important pass. Although there are no roads to the left and right, there are quite a few fortified cities in front and behind.
As long as they enter the city and rely on the terrain here, the army only needs to take care of the enemy troops coming to support them on the front and rear roads. There is no need to worry about the left and right sides.
Also, since this place is a city, there must be people there. In this way, the military supplies, food and grass, and the equipment for defending the city must be all available.
There are at least a thousand men under his command, and he happens to be divided into two groups, one in front and one in the rear. As long as he can hold on for seven days, the war on the front line will be almost over.
With my adoptive father's ability, I will definitely win this battle. When the time comes, I can just lead the White Cavalry and retreat unscathed.
"This...general, this is an isolated city!"
As the number one White Cavalry, Wang Long naturally has some insights into the battle situation, but he naturally knows what it means to enter the city. If he doesn't know much, the whole army will be wiped out by the White Cavalry!
He didn't understand why Huang Xu insisted on going his own way when the situation was so clear.
If you go in like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out again.
"Once we enter, we will be surrounded by enemy troops——"
"Enter!"
Huang Xu took this problem seriously at all, and with a decisive wave of his hand, he rushed towards the suspension bridge first, and then fired wildly with a crossbow, wiping out all the surrounding soldiers in a matter of seconds.
The few white knights who followed ran to the edge of the suspension bridge and re-tied and reinforced the previously cut ropes. After all the white knights entered the city, they folded the suspension bridge.
The whole process didn't take the time of a cup of tea, and it directly confused Cao Chun and Cao Zhen in the distance.
Their heads are really hard to turn around now.
The two of them tried their best to put on such a big scene just to send Cao Zhen out safely from Huang Xu's hands.
After all, judging from Cao Zhen's military ability, as long as he returns to the camp behind Jizhou, he will definitely lead his army to fight again.
Therefore, in order to make the performance more realistic, Cao Chun actually whipped Cao Zhen with a whip. In order to prevent him from being recognized by the enemy, he even slapped him several times on the face. As for verbal abuse, it was even more childish.
But both of them have reached this point in their drama, yet the other party... lets him go?
What do you mean? This is?
"Hey! Uncle, you are really ruthless. Can you tell me what kind of grudge the two of us have?"
Before Cao Zhen could react, the burning pain on his face awakened his consciousness, and his heart suddenly filled with anger.
Cao Chun blinked, carefully hid the whip behind his back, and said with a sneer: "No, this...nephew, this was an accident, I wanted you to go back alive!"
"Do you want me to go back? Are you afraid that my life is not miserable enough?"
Cao Zhen's handsome face turned red with anger.
Oh, no!
Right now, his face was covered in mud, stained with blood and swollen whip marks.
The little bit of admiration that he had for Cao Chun just now disappeared like smoke in an instant.
Damn it, I didn’t even think about killing myself. It was all Cao Chun who overthought it, and I got a beating in vain!
But... having said that.
Huang Xu had been chasing him all the way, how could he suddenly let him go?
Could it be that...his goal from the beginning to the end was not the 30,000 troops at all, but the Wuhuan City?
"Now that Wuhuan City has been captured by them, they have even put away the suspension bridge. If we just want to attack it with the current manpower, it is nothing more than a dream!"
"Why don't we go back? Go to Quanzhou and see if we can encounter an army. If we do, report it to General Yuan Rang and ask him to lead everyone here!"
Cao Zhen's face was livid, his heart was filled with sadness, but he could not say anything.
The swollen whip marks on his face made him feel like a monkey being watched by everyone. After being beaten for no reason, he could only break his teeth and swallow them in his stomach. No one could say anything, and no one dared to say anything.
Now he really felt extremely uncomfortable all over his body.
Nonsense, he rolled on the ground several times, he was covered in mud, and he was beaten violently, and he didn't feel very comfortable. If he could hold back from cursing at the moment, he was already sane. How could he still think about fighting again?
?
As for Cao Chun, he is a bit weak now.
He had no strength before. In order to let Cao Zhen escape, he had no energy left when he swung the whip, but now he was completely exhausted.
The most important thing is that looking at Cao Zhen's colorful face, he felt really uneasy.
Under such circumstances, he would naturally listen to what Cao Zhen said.
Furthermore, Huang Xu has already entered the city, and we still don’t know what kind of defense there is. With just the few manpower we have, I’m afraid it won’t be enough to fill the gap between the enemy’s teeth.
"Hey! This is all we can do now. We will definitely not be able to capture Wuhuan City. The entire 30,000-strong army has been disabled by Huang Xu. Not to mention, there are still more than a thousand Baiqi. Judging from the casualties on both sides,
, we suffered heavy losses!”
"Whether we go back, we might encounter other armies on the way. It is a good choice for us to integrate with them and fight back to the front line. After all, Huang Xu is nothing. If Xi Yu breaks the front line defense,
We are truly finished."
"Let's go, everyone, to prevent the entire Hejian County from falling into Xi Yu's hands, let's go back!"
After the two said this, they ordered the deputy generals to go and gather troops and horses. Then the two armies merged into one, and together with some remaining soldiers from the original Wuhuan City, there were less than 500 people in total, turning around and starting to return the way they came.
As long as he can keep up with the large troops on the front line, he can find Xia Houchun, and there may be a chance to avenge Huang Xu's humiliation today!
pity······
When they saw the army, a sense of fear penetrated deep into their hearts.
Tens of thousands of people, wearing heavy armor, holding spears and riding on war horses, were chasing Xia Houchun in his direction as if they were desperate.
Xi Yu's tens of thousands of troops were fully armed and galloping towards him, and the neighing of war horses echoed in his ears.
Xia Houchun's army was like headless flies, scurrying around in no order.
After running for so long and resisting for several days, they were not only tired physically, but also mentally.
Seeing the fear in everyone's eyes, Cao Chun and Cao Zhen realized that they really had no choice but to retreat.
If you want to survive, it seems that the only way to escape from both sides is not feasible.
But in this way, he may not be able to escape the pursuit, but I am afraid that the entire Hejian County will fall into Xi Yu's hands, which means that they have completely lost this battle!
Once Hejian County was lost, no matter how many troops, horses or wealth they took, they could not replace it. But in the end, looking at the murderous Xiyu army, they still chose to disperse to both sides.
Just like the one ten thousandth chance they brought with them, Xi Yu ignored them and instead led his army to run wildly until he could barely stop at the foot of Wuhuan City.
"Hush!"
I saw him pulling the reins hard, and as the horse leaned back, his body was half-standing in the air. Then he looked at the city gate and cursed angrily: "Where is that bastard Huang Xu? Why don't you lower the suspension bridge quickly?"
As soon as he heard his adoptive father's voice, Huang Xu, who was still napping, sat up in fright. He quickly asked someone to lower the suspension bridge, and then quickly walked down the city gate to greet him.
As the suspension bridge was slowly lowered, Baiqi had already stood on both sides of the city gate, ready to go. Behind them were the people kneeling on the ground.
But looking at the happy expressions of the people, it seemed as if they had been waiting for Xiyu for a long time.
Xi Yu didn't pay attention to this. As soon as he got off his horse, he walked straight towards Huang Xu.
"Crack!"
A heavy slap landed on Huang Xu's face, Xi Yu glared angrily, as if he hated iron.
"You bastard, are you immortal? How dare you go deep alone? Who taught you this? If something happens to you on the battlefield, what do you want me to tell your father?"
