Chapter 408: Defending doesn't mean being beaten

The attack at the east gate has just retreated, Han Xian is commanding the men and horses to quickly organize the next attack, looking at the wounded and piled up corpses everywhere, he gritted his teeth but there is no way, I heard that the casualties of the other three city gates are also frighteningly high, it seems that these people are only suitable for field combat, and they are not good at attacking the city at all, I don't know what kind of nerves Zhang Yan has, and he actually wants to design an empty city to attack.

Since being rescued by Zhao Yun a few months ago, and then being rescued by Su Mu by arranging a night death, Han Xian recuperated from his wounds, while secretly gathering the old department and recruiting troops, and united with Yu Fuluo's Xiongnu army and Zhang Yan's Montenegrin army, and strengthened the power in the Hongnong area, at that time the main force of Dong Zhuo's army was confronting Gao Yi in the northeast of Luoyang, so the Baibo army was able to become a prairie fire, gathered more than 100,000 people, known as 300,000, spread a lot of fine work in Luoyang, wantonly spread the news of Dong Zhuo's disorderly government, and successfully rescued Hu Cai and Li Le, who were captured by Dong Zhuo, and gave the troops, no wonder the first thing Dong Zhuo did after the dictatorship was to send the powerful general Niu Fu to come to the crusade.

However, what made Han Xian wonder was that Dong Zhuojun had a strong field combat ability, why did he give up his advantages this time and defend the city instead? There must be some big man coming. Otherwise, no one would be so stupid!

"Han Shuai, the enemy army is out of the city!"

Han Xian looked at the city gate, only to see thousands of cavalry quickly out of the city, in front of the city gate in a vertical row stretching more than 100 zhang wide, ready to go.

The army could not help but tremble, most of their own men were infantry, and the shock and breakthrough power of the thousands of cavalry concentrated charges were destructive.

"Han Shuai, what should I do?" everyone hurriedly asked Han Xian.

"Formation, be sure to stop them!" Han Xian said, instructing the people around him, "Quickly send someone to check the other three gates, is there also an enemy formation to break through?"

"Kill!" the general led by the Xiliang cavalry shouted, and thousands of people raised their arms and shouted, holding spears and following closely to kill Han Xian's troops.

In front of these cavalry were tens of thousands of white wave thieves, all of whom raised their weapons and fiercely faced these cavalrymen who had slaughtered countless of their brothers.

"Drink!" The cavalry general picked off a few soldiers who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and led the troops to wreak havoc in the enemy group, hating Han Xian who was watching the battle from a distance: Give me 3,000 war horses, and I can kill you to lose your armor and cry your father and mother.

"Who is the other party?" Han Xian said hatefully.

"Report to Han Shuai, this is Yang Feng, Li Dao's cavalry captain!" someone next to him immediately replied.

Han Xian was stunned for a moment, is it Yang Feng?

He looked at that figure in disbelief, yellow robe and gold armor, red horse and iron spear, every move was as neat as sweeping leaves in the autumn wind, it wasn't the Yang Feng who had once dominated the Baibo army, who else would it be?

Everyone rumored that Yang Feng accepted Dong Zhuo's recruitment for fame and fortune, but Han Xian never believed it, and he scattered in Luoyang to rescue Yang Feng, but they were all refused, and many of them were killed by Yang Feng.

Now when he saw Yang Feng stabbing the bloodthirsty iron spear in his hand into the chests of the soldiers of the White Bo Army without blinking his eyes, Han Xian had to believe it.

"Capture the thief first, capture the king first, take my bow!" Han Xian said coldly, took his bow, wound his arrows, and aimed at Yang Feng, who was killing heartily not far away.

"General be careful!" I don't know who shouted, Yang Feng came back to his senses, only to feel that his heart was hot, he was hit by an arrow early, and his mount was frightened, and he immediately flew him into the enemy group.

The white wave thief naturally couldn't help but be overjoyed, just now this man killed a lot of his brothers, and now he is just making him pierce his heart! They are all new soldiers, naturally they don't know the history of Yang Feng and Han Xianam's master, they just cheered and raised their blades together and stabbed at Yang Feng.

The Western Liang cavalry looked at the imprisoned commander in shock, and their hearts reached their throats.

"Heaven will kill me!" Yang Feng looked at Han Xian in the distance of the crowd, smiled bitterly and closed his eyes in despair.

"Bang" Suddenly, a long-handled axe fell from the sky, plunging several feet deep into the ground beside Yang Feng, and its heroic aftermath immediately shook dozens of people, and the rest of the soldiers looked at this flying axe outside the sky with a look at each other, what was the situation? Could it be that the gods were angry?

It's not a god, it's a human! I saw a soap-robed green armor, with a handsome face like a ghost, straddled a cyan war horse, leaped in front of Yang Feng, pulled out his weapon with one hand, and stretched out to Yang Feng with the other: "Brother Yang, get on the horse!"

"Is it him?" Han Xian looked at this person's calm figure, and he didn't know when he was already sweating.

"This person is the sworn brother of Yang Feng, the cavalry commander of Li Wei's subordinates - Xu Huang and Xu Gongming!" Jia Xu explained to Niu Fu and Yin Feng on the city wall.

"I didn't expect that there would be such a brave person under our army's account, does Mr. Jia know the origin of this Xu Huang?" Yin Feng was impressed by Xu Huang's courage just now, and couldn't help but love talent, and asked Jia Xu.

Jia Xu thought for a while and replied: "I have also heard of this, Yang Feng used to recruit troops in Hedong County when he was Kou, but he was attacked by the Xianbei people and almost died, but fortunately Xu Huang came and repelled the attack of hundreds of bandits with his own strength, since then the two have been sorry for each other and become brothers with different surnames, but there is one thing His Royal Highness said wrongly, this Xu Huang is not the general of the Xiliang army, but Gao Yi's person!"

Yin Feng couldn't help but think of Lu Bu, who was brave and brave, and sighed and said, "In my opinion, this is the real talent of a general!"

Jia Xu was noncommittal to Yin Feng's words, but sneered and said: "Maybe the future is, but now it's just the courage of a horseman!"

Cao Cao came over at this time, he naturally heard these words, he looked at Jia Xu very unhappily, and felt that he was too unguessable: "I don't dare to agree with Mr. Jia's words, as a general, if you can't even take the lead, how can you talk about winning a hundred battles?"

Although Jia Xu looked very humble, there was no humility in his words: "Has General Cao forgotten that the purpose of our battle is to grow the morale of the rebels and destroy their own prestige?"

Yin Feng nodded on the side: "I naturally remember this, but I don't have to pretend to be so cowardly!"

Jia Xu smiled: "Being able to take the lead is certainly an important element for a general, but if you can only take the lead, it is indeed no different from a horseman!"

Yin Feng seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and Cao Cao smiled and said nothing.

Jia Xu pointed to the battlefield, and his voice was tepid: "Soon Your Highness will understand!"

"Gongming, I owe you another life!" Yang Feng turned over and looked at Xu Huang who had rescued him gratefully.

The big axe in Xu Huang's hand danced impenetrable, and there was almost no enemy everywhere he went, so he opened a bloody path for Yang Feng while fighting, and looked at the half arrow behind Yang Feng, Xu Huang frowned and said: "Brother Yang is polite, you and I are brothers, and we should share blessings and misfortunes, you are injured, I will protect you back!"

Yang Feng grinned in pain, but he reluctantly raised his breath and said: "It's just a skin injury, it doesn't matter, I've been aggrieved in the city for a long time, and I haven't had enough addiction!"

"Anyway, it's important to meet the sergeants first!" Xu Huang danced the big axe again, the seemingly huge and bulky weapon seemed to be a part of his body in his hands, and every swing was accompanied by the screams and wails of the enemy, and after a while, no one dared to stop this ghostly monster, so Xu Huang and Yang Feng rushed towards their team like a whirlwind one after the other, and Yang Feng's army saw that the Lord would be saved, and they cheered and rushed to respond.

"Damn, stop him!" Han Xian couldn't help but be annoyed and angry when he saw that his success was failing, and hurriedly ordered his lieutenants to chase after him.

The lieutenant generals were shocked by Xu Huang's bravery, and their scalps were numb, but Han Xian had an order, so they had to chase after him.

"Look for death!" Xu Huang saw that the enemy generals dared to chase after him, so he immediately stopped the war horses, Hou was in front of the battle, and killed them again.

"Everyone go up together, if you don't believe it, you can't kill him!" The generals surrounded Xu Huang and attacked up and down.

"Drink!" Xu Huang was not afraid, and with a move in his hand, he was as fast as thunder and lightning fast, and everyone only felt a flash of white light in front of them, and they saw their headless corpse.

Xu Huang looked around, front and back, left and right, with his weapon in front of him, and slowly rode his horse back to his army.

"Whoosh!" Suddenly, dozens of flying arrows shot towards Xu Huang like raindrops, startling Yang Feng's subordinates and shouting: "Be careful of dark arrows!"

"Ding Ding Ding" Xu Huang pulled the reins, and the mount soared into the air, avoiding most of the arrows, and the rest was picked away by Xu Huang lightly.

Han Xian was completely enraged: "Temporarily stop the siege, the whole army is scattered, give me a group to surround this cavalry, I want to annihilate them!"

"General Qiyu, the city gates on all sides have stopped attacking, and they are all engaged with the first cavalry of our army!" the soldier reported to Niu Fu.

In fact, there is no need to report, and the tower of the city can be seen very clearly: relying on Jia Xu's strategy, he temporarily used 10,000 cavalry to delay the momentum of the rebels attacking the city on all sides.

"Is this good?Mr. Jia?" Niu Fu looked at Jia Xu with some concern, "Isn't it true that our army suffered greater casualties in a direct battle?"

Jia Xu shook his head and said: "The general only knows one and does not know the other, and the casualties may be stricter if the short-handed soldiers are met, but in this way, our army can give full play to the advantages of cavalry, if the defense of the city is a one-to-five casualty, the ratio can reach one-to-ten in the field, and sometimes we can't just look at our own casualties, but also see the cost of the enemy's casualties in exchange for our own casualties! This is also a standard for testing whether one's own soldiers' combat effectiveness is strong!"

Cao Cao said: "Moreover, in this way, our army can not only free up opportunities to rest, but also be able to carry out our next plans with ease!"

Jia Xu looked at Cao Cao approvingly, and continued to say to Niu Fu: "Therefore, on the battlefield, it is changing rapidly, and the combat strategy naturally varies from person to person, from time to time, from place to place, and from event to thing. Defending with all your might does not mean that you have to be beaten passively and not fight back, but that you must be invulnerable to the enemy's weaknesses and then strike at them, so that you can achieve the goal of exchanging partial losses for all-out victory!"
