Chapter 226: The Battle of Han County
Han Dang's astonishing move of slashing Cao Xuan made the morale of Gao Shun's army drop to freezing point in an instant!
Gao Shun had no choice but to lead the army back to the camp and make temporary adjustments to order the trapped camp to guard the gate!
Gao Shun personally led the army to patrol the camp, clean up military discipline, and boost morale!
After three days of rectification, the morale of the army has finally rebounded!
Just as Gao Shun was returning from patrolling, he saw the scout Kuaima reporting: "Report to the general, Han Dang is under the escort of the people and horses of the headquarters all the way to the north and to Liaodong!" ”
"Oh?" Gao Shun was overjoyed and said, "Really? ”
The scout nodded solemnly and said, "Li Yang is concerned about Han Dang's safety, and personally ordered him to return to Liaodong to recuperate!" ”
"Who will take over the army?" Gao Shun asked!
"Xu Huang!" The scout said: "Li Yang ordered Xu Huang to lead the army south and take over Han Dang's position!" ”
"Xu Huang?" Gao Shun smiled contemptuously and said, "This person's reputation is not obvious, so there is no need to worry!" ”
At this time, Xu Huang is only a little famous at most, and in front of Gao Shun, who has already been famous all over the world, Xu Huang is indeed a little unsightly!
After some careful consideration, Gao Shun decided to lead his troops to try Xu Huang's depth!
Gao Shun personally led 3,000 men and horses to fight against Xu Huang in front of the Youzhou camp!
Xu Huang was dressed in fish scale armor, holding a Xuanhua axe, and rode out of the gate, came to the front of the two armies, looked at Gao Shun's tall figure, couldn't help frowning slightly, and said, "Can you get a name?" ”
"Those who are dying are not worthy of my name!" Gao Shun didn't put Xu Huang in his eyes at all!
Xu Huang was furious and said, "The arrogant will only be quick to speak for a while!" ”
As soon as Xu Huang's words fell, he saw the two of them rushing towards each other at the same time, and soon they fought together!
As soon as they fought, Xu Huang's martial arts surprised Gao Shun!
In the first round of the confrontation, Xu Huang used his housekeeping skills and slashed Huashan with a single blow, catching Gao Shun off guard!
Gao Shun wielded the horse lance and Xu Huang came to a hard collision, and the sound of the weapon hitting shook everyone's eardrums, and a strong force attacked, almost knocking Gao Shun off the horse!
Gao Shun is good at commanding troops, not a person with excellent martial arts, in the face of Xu Huang, he only has the ability to parry, but he has no power to fight back!
After a blow, Xu Huang probed out the depth of Gao Shun, and knew that within thirty hes, he would definitely be able to cut him under the horse!
Gao Shun clenched his hands tightly holding Ma Lance, and secretly said in shock: "There is Han Dang in front and Xu Huang in the back." Youzhou fierce generals emerge in endlessly, when will the fierce generals in the world become so worthless? ”
Gao Shun knew that he was not Xu Huang's opponent, so he deliberately sold a flaw, and when Xu Huang was unprepared, he forced him back with a life-changing move, and then fled very decisively!
Seeing this, Xu Huang couldn't help laughing loudly: "Will you want to share your name with me?" ”
Gao Shun was extremely aggrieved in his heart, and turned around and scolded: "There is no hero at the time, which makes the concubine famous!" ”
Xu Huang snorted coldly with disdain, and sneered at each other: "The will to fall into battle, there is death and no life." Aren't all the trapped camps under General Gao become soft-footed shrimp? It's a mule or a horse, pull it out and slip it, don't always hide it! ”
Xu Huang talked about Gao Shun's sore spot!
Gao Shun hurriedly reined in his horse, turned around and looked directly into Xu Huang's eyes with an angry face, and said excitedly: "Concubine, do you dare to fight with me and lead the army in front of the battle?" ”
Xu Huang is calm and moderate, and the method of agitation is useless to him!
Xu Huang raised his eyebrows at Gao Shun, shook his head and said, "You lead the army to attack the camp, and I will lead the army to defend the camp!" Wouldn't it be beautiful to decide the victory or defeat in one battle? ”
Beautiful uncle!
Gao Shun was so angry that he almost squirted out a mouthful of old blood!
Looking at Gao Shun, whose face was sinking like water, Xu Huang couldn't help but smile dumbly: "Dare to ask General Gao, it's difficult for a good woman to feel uncomfortable for cooking without rice, right?" How long is the general going to hold out? ”
Gao Shun is not good at words, no matter whether he moves his hands or mouth, he is not Xu Huang's opponent!
Gao Shun turned his head to look at the soldiers standing behind him, and saw that the army's heart seemed to be fluctuating, and he knew that he couldn't listen to Xu Huang's nonsense here, so he hurriedly issued an order to the generals to retreat!
Gao Shun led the army to retreat slowly!
Looking at the back of Gao Shun leaving, Xu Huang still didn't forget to say a few words of ridicule: "There are only generals who died in battle, and there are no generals who starved to death, General Gao, take care!" ”
"Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated!" Gao Shun turned around and roared wildly: "Wait for me to return to the camp to prepare the soldiers and horses, and fight to the death with you!" ”
"Xu Huang is waiting for General Gao in the camp!"
After returning to the camp, Gao Shun ordered people to kill chickens and sheep, and ordered the soldiers to have a full meal, ready to fight to the death with the enemy!
Gao Shun led the people to rummage through the logistics battalion, and only found the rations that were only for half of the soldiers!
Gao Shun had no choice but to give the quartermaster an order to slaughter the horses!
"Tomorrow's attack on the camp, no need for war horses! The whole army abandoned their horses and fought with the enemy on foot! Gao Shun gritted his teeth and ordered!
Of the six hundred and forty-five war horses, only fifty lucky ones were finally ordered by Gao Shun to stay, and the rest all went into the belly of the soldiers!
The next day, the hour!
Gao Shun personally led an army of 10,000 and set up a position in front of the Youzhou camp!
Xu Huang ordered someone to shout to Gao Shun on his behalf, saying, "You... Come here! ”
Gao Shun held his horse lance high and shouted loudly: "The momentum of the charge, there is no advance or retreat!" The ambition of the battle, there is death and no life! Kill the flag captor, reward a thousand gold, and upgrade three levels in a row! ”
"Drums for battle!" Gao Shun pointed directly at the Youzhou camp, and ordered loudly: "Break the camp and kill the thief!" ”
Drums beat and trumpets blaze!
The trapped camp took a uniform step and slowly marched towards the camp!
Gao Shun personally led the army, followed behind the trapped camp, and slowly walked towards the camp!
Looking at the trapped camp in heavy armor, Xu Huang intuitively felt that his scalp was numb, and he didn't dare to give birth to the slightest carelessness of the enemy!
"Stone-throwing!" Xu Huang gave an order, the catapult creaked, and dozens of catapults at the same time threw the boulder the size of the millstone into the oncoming crowd!
The boulder fell into the crowd, but it didn't make too many waves!
Although the trapped soldiers wore heavy armor, they were extremely responsive, and they showed the phrase "sweat more in peacetime, and bleed less in wartime" vividly!
In the face of the flying boulder, the seven hundred soldiers trapped in the camp used all their strength, dodged and moved, and avoided the oncoming boulder very quickly!
After three rounds of stone throwing, no more than 300 enemies were killed, and the casualties caused to the trapped camp were almost negligible!
After the trapped camp entered the range of the crossbow arrows, Xu Huang decisively ordered: "Raise the crossbow machine, cross the trapped camp, and shoot the enemy troops wearing light armor!" ”
"Shoot the arrows!"
The armor of the trapped faction is too thick for the crossbow arrows to inflict fatal damage on them, so instead of wasting the crossbow arrows on their bodies, it is better to use the limited number of crossbow arrows to shoot more enemies!
I have to say that Xu Huang made a very wise decision!
The rain of arrows that covered the sky and the sun crossed the trapped camp and brought a devastating blow to the robe behind him!
The few crossbow bolts that occasionally fell into the trap camp, after making a few crunch sounds, did not bring any substantial damage to the trap camp!
