Chapter 207: Supporting Huoyi

Outside the east city gate, the flag is flying, and the iron armor is ringing.

Tang Ye glanced back at the 25,000 troops in the rear and the 2,000 tiger troops on the flank, and a sense of coercion surged into his heart.

This time, he was clearly instructed to be the one who commanded the soldiers. Although Zhuge Gu was the military advisor and Liu Lin was the staff officer, Tang Ye still felt that he was under a lot of pressure.

As for Liu Bi and Liu Jin, the former went to Jiaxing City half a month ago, and as for the latter, as the lord of a city, he naturally couldn't leave easily.

Of course, in addition to Liu Jin, Liang Baimuyun and others stayed, and Yang Ke was originally asked to stay, but he expressed his thoughts directly to Liu Jin after having itchy hands for a long time.

Liu Jin disagreed in his heart, but now that they are the inferior side, Liu Pei repeatedly asked that it was easy not to offend those capable generals, not to mention that this military general was not going to do anything bad.

So, Yang Ke followed Tang Ye on the expedition as he wished. First, it is to reduce the fire, and secondly, it is also to protect Tang Ye's safety and make up for the regrets of the previous month.

Seeing the baggage convoy entering the center of the team and the soldiers all waiting for him, Tang Ye raised the spear in his hand and shouted with full anger: "Go!" ”

The army, which almost covered a radius of more than 100 meters, began to move forward slowly, and then after the overall speed was raised, the soldiers began to march according to a certain rhythm.

Two thousand Huwei troops were in front, five thousand light cavalry followed, and the rest were infantry.

In order to take into account the marching speed of the infantry, Tang Ye deliberately let the cavalry slow down, but the overall speed was not slow.

Commanding tens of thousands of troops for the first time, although Tang Ye already had a lot of experience, it was undeniable that he was still a little struggling.

But fortunately, with Liu Lin's help, and his prestige is actually very high among the soldiers, although he doesn't know it himself, but when commanding the soldiers, no one dares to show him impatience.

At the speed of their march now, counting the time they needed to rest halfway, it would take about four hours to reach Huoyi City.

However, Yang Ke had been in Huoyi City for a month, so Tang Ye knew that Huoyi City was a medium-sized city, with a thick city, a defensive structure, and an overall city defense capability that was much stronger than that of Eight Finger City.

So it's perfectly fine to hold on to their support. Of course, the premise is that the number of enemies and the number of siege weapon catapults are not too large.

Just as Tang Ye and his party were unhurriedly heading towards Huoyi City, there was a crisis on the side of Eight Finger City not long after they left!

Obviously, the enemy hiding in the shadows had discovered the departure of Tang Ye's army, and an hour after they left, tens of thousands of troops from the south came towards Bazhi City.

Liu Jin suddenly panicked, after all, there were only 15,000 soldiers and horses in the city at this moment, and the number of enemies was more than 50,000.

Even if the defending side of the city has a certain advantage under normal circumstances and can exchange one for two, the fifteen thousand soldiers at this moment are not enough.

But fortunately, Zhuge Gu used his life to guarantee before leaving, as long as Chen Chong is there, let alone 100,000, even if the 150,000 army comes, he may not be able to capture Bazhi City!

Zhuge Gu is not a confidant for Liu Jin, but the other party's strategy has repeatedly relieved them of the siege.

So for this person, Liu Jin, who has dwarfism, is still quite trusting.

At this moment, on the upper floor of the Eight Finger City, Chen Chong looked indifferently at the smoke and dust in the far south of the country.
