Chapter 62: Either You Die or I Die

After Xu Huang cut down all the guards on the city, he saw from a distance that on the horizon in front of the city wall, a cavalry force of about 3,000 people was rushing here with all his might.

This must be the wolf ride arranged by Lu Bu.

The die is cast! Quickly command dozens of prisoners to tear down the courtyard gates of the houses near the city gates.

......

The other generals of the Baibo army hurriedly ordered their troops, leaving a part of the foot soldiers to assist in the defense of the northern city gate, and Lu Bu's cavalry outside would not easily attack the city, and the most important thing was to solve the problem of civil strife in the city.

Hu Cai and Han Xian have defected! fell to Yang Feng.

"I knew that the two of them would be put in prison together yesterday!"

"What's the use of complaining at this moment! The top priority is to take back the South Gate! ”

"There is enough grain and grass in the city, as long as there is no internal chaos and it has been fortified, Lu Bu will run out of grain and grass, and he will naturally withdraw his troops."

The generals and soldiers hurried to the south gate.

Seeing the robe Ze who had fought together in the past rushing in his direction, Xu Huang immediately made a decision, stood at the front, and formed a character formation with Hu Cai and Han Xian, guarding at the gate of the city.

"Kill!"

The generals have no choice, if they let go of these people, they will meet in the future, it will definitely be a situation of endless death, it is better to rely on the advantage of the large number of people at this moment, and bury the other party with the tactics of crowds.

"Fight and defend the gates of the city."

Xu Huang's big axe slashed over the soldiers who rushed up in front, and asked the prisoner behind him to raise the wooden door in his hand to block the arrows flying in front.

Tuk tuk!

The arrows stuck in the wooden door, most of them were blocked, and some of the more awkward angles flew through the gap and stabbed the prisoners.

"Stick to the time of half a stick!"

Xu Huang shouted, the city gate is relatively narrow, which is conducive to defensive operations.

After seeing the speed of the wolf cavalry in Bingzhou, Xu Huang firmly believed that the other party could rush to the outside of the city gate in half a stick of incense, as long as he took the prisoners and stalemate with the Bai Bo army for a period of time, then they all withdrew from the city gate and spread out on both sides, allowing the cavalry to rush in and take the south gate in one fell swoop.

The location of the south gate, inside the city gate, is all flat ground, which is extremely beneficial to the cavalry fighting.

Yang Feng led more than a dozen henchmen brought by Han Xian to block between the stone stairs to prevent the crossbowmen of the Baibo Army from rushing to the head of the city, condescending, and occupying the initiative on the battlefield.

"Get out of here!"

Loudly scolding the Bai Bo army in front, Yang Feng hid behind more than a dozen people, wanting to use his previous identity to deter his former subordinates.

However, it backfired, and the soldier who had just stopped was kicked by a certain general and rushed towards Yang Feng.

"Today is either your death or my death!"

The general waved the long knife in his hand and led the soldiers to attack on the stone ladder at the head of the city, Yang Feng did not die, the soldiers were fine, it would not be good, and none of them could survive the rebellious generals.

Xu Huang, who was blocking the Baibo army at the gate of the city and retreating in battle, heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him getting closer and closer, and hurriedly glanced back, and the flag of the Bingzhou Army engraved with a wolf's head was printed in his eyes.

Quickly give the order, "Exit the city gates, go outside the city, spread out on both sides, quickly!" ”

The remaining dozen or so prisoners, hearing Xu Huang's order, threw down the heavy wooden planks in their hands and rushed out of the city gate.

"Let's go!"

Xu Huang reminded Han Xian and Hu Cai that the three of them withdrew from the city gate.

The generals of the Bai Bo Department were overjoyed when they saw that Xu Huang had finally given up the position of the city gate, and immediately ordered: "Quickly, close the city gate!" ”

Zhang Liao led three thousand wolves to ride, the horse did not stop, the speed had reached the extreme of the war horse, and he saw more than ten prisoners in front of him running out of the city gate from a distance, and then saw three generals walking out of it, and the person holding the battle axe was still gesturing to him.

Jump!

Bending his bow and arrows, Zhang Liao aimed at the two soldiers in the city gate who wanted to pull up the city gate.

Woohoo!

Two arrows were fired in succession, and the two soldiers fell in response.

The wolf rider got his wish, and rushed into the city from outside the south gate.

"They all retreated into the alleys of the houses in the city, and the cavalry couldn't be used there!"

A certain general asked his infantry to quickly retreat into the city, using the houses to deal with the enemy cavalry.

Xu Huang rode a war horse, and Zhang Liao gave it and thanked him.

"This place is handed over to a certain family, and the general can rush to the north gate and let the troops of Lu Bingzhou come in!" Xu Huang said.

Zhang Liao nodded, leaving five hundred wolf riders behind, and with Xu Huang, he pulled the reins of the horse and rushed towards the north of the city.

Galloping along the street running through the north and south of Wenxi County, Zhang Liao quickly rushed to the north gate, and immediately let the wolf riders carry out the first wave of strafing, and a large wave of soldiers immediately fell in front.

......

Crunch!

The north gate of Wenxi County was slowly lowered, and Lu Bu led the troops behind him, gave Zhang Liao a thumbs up at the head of the city, and then rushed into the city.

In fact, at the moment when the north gate was opened, the defenders in the city had already begun to surrender one after another, prostrate on the ground, and no longer resisted.

Of the rebel generals, six were killed and two were captured alive.

Yang Feng died, and one of the generals fell down on the head of the South Gate City and did not survive, Xu Huang personally collected his body and buried it on the dirt mountain outside the city.

When the two living subordinates were escorted to Lu Bu, they still held their heads high and swore not to surrender.

Lu Bu didn't talk nonsense with him, raised the halberd, and ended the lives of these two people.

The remaining Baibo army in the city is nearly 12,000, plus Xu Huang's 8,000 troops yesterday, and it is another 20,000 troops!

With 2,000 cavalry and 18,000 foot soldiers, Lu Bu was handed over to Xu Huang to lead, and Han Xian and Hu Cai assisted as deputy generals.

Xu Huang pleaded for the ten prisoners who survived, and Lu Bu was not to blame for the past, and classified ten people into Xu Huang's troops, and the 20,000-strong Baibo Army was named the New Second Army, which was different from the 90,000 New First Army composed of the Yellow Turban Army in Yanmen County.

[The anchor is more or less like he is now a little hot-blooded, don't compare if you can do it, we want to see Mang Lu Bu! ] 】

[New First Army, New Second Army, New ......]

[The first fierce general, be less reasonable, and do it if you don't accept it! ] 】

Finding a messenger from the army, Lu Bu asked him to hurry back to Jinyang and remind Zhang Zonghan to allocate an extra 20,000 people of grain and grass to be transported to Hedong County.

Leaving Zhang Liao and 3,000 men to hold Wenxi County, waiting for the arrival of Tian Feng and Gao Shun, Lü Bu took thousands of wolf horsemen from Bingzhou, as well as the New Second Army, and began to rush to the border areas of Hedong County and Hanoi County, and the crossing of the Yellow River.

Hedong County was calm on the surface, and Lu Bu went all the way south from Wenxi County, and then went east, without encountering any obstacles, which may be Wei Gu's greeting in advance, and the temporary forbearance of another big clan in Hedong, the Fan family.

After arriving at the crossing of the Yellow River, not long after Lü Bu had settled his troops, Wei Gu returned from the front line and met Lü Bu.

"Yuan Tan opposite, how many people are there?"

Lu Bu asked Wei Gu.

"Yuan Tan has 3,000 cavalry, plus 20,000 defenders of Hanoi County under Wang Kuang, and more than 10,000 reinforcements led by Yuan Shaorang Ju Yi to come to the rescue, adding up to nearly 40,000 people."

Wei Gu truthfully reported that a big reason why he was able to hold this place before was that he took advantage of the terrain to intercept the enemy troops on the opposite side of the Yellow River, and to guard day and night, making it difficult for the enemy to cross the river.
