Chapter 307: Axe General Xu Huang
He Xian led more than 15,000 Nanyang elites to the north, crossed the Wuguan Pass into Luoyang, and arrived in Gucheng.
When I saw Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang again, it was simple and miserable. I think that at the beginning, when they participated in the anti-Dong Zhuo coalition together, Zhang Yang had 3,000 light cavalry and 5,000 foot soldiers under his command, and now there are only more than 1,500 cavalry left; Wang Kuang had 2,000 strong crossbowmen and 6,000 foot soldiers, and now there are only 2,000 foot soldiers of all colors left. The most important thing is that these two armies were timid, and they were not happy at all when they saw the arrival of He Xianjun, as if they had nothing to do with themselves. Obviously, they were scared by the white wave thieves.
"Both armies are gone!" Along the way, He Xian has made up his mind.
Gucheng is not big, it is a satellite city in Luoyang, but the defense facilities are quite neat. Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang couldn't lead the troops, but the location to stay for help was okay.
Gucheng County Command, Zhang Yang and Wang Kuang learned of He Xian's arrival and hurried to greet them outside the mansion. Entering the mansion, the two invited He Xian to the position of the main seat, and they were on both sides.
"Uncle Zhi, Brother Gongjie, how could you end up like this?" After taking his seat, He Xian couldn't wait to ask the question in his heart. "Uncle Zhi" is Zhang Yang's word, and "Gongjie" is Wang Kuang's word.
Zhang Yang and Wang Kuang looked at each other.
"I'll talk about it first!" Zhang Yang said, "Half a year ago, Gongjie and I ambushed the Baibo Army once, killed the leader of the Baibo Army, Guo Taiji, and more than 10,000 people, and returned with a great victory. The two divisions of the White Polish Army, led by Li Le, Han Xian, and Hu Cai, continued to fight against us; The other, led by Yang Feng, surrendered to our army. Unexpectedly, after Gongjie led the Hanoi army to evacuate, Yang Feng colluded with Li Le, Han Xian, Hu Cai and others to attack Changzi County inside and outside. Our army was defeated and had no choice but to abandon the city and flee south. Yang Feng and others pursued all the way to Huai County, Hanoi County, thanks to Brother Gongjie's rescue. “
He Xian nodded: "It turned out to be Yang Feng's trick to surrender!" “
Zhang Yang was ashamed and stopped talking.
Wang Kuang took over the words and said: "Since Uncle Zhi entered Huaixian County, the Bai Bo Army has surrounded Huaixian County. Hanoi's famous general Fang Yue asked to go out of the city, but he was unexpectedly killed by a fierce general under Yang Feng's command. ”
Zhang Yang was shocked when he heard this: "My general Mu Shun was also killed by the thief who made the axe!" “
"A thief who makes an axe? Do you know its name? He Xian asked. Mu Shun and Fang Yue should have died in the hands of Lu Bu before the Tiger Prison. But because Lu Bu was famous all over the world in advance, Yuan Shao refused them to fight at that time, so as not to frustrate the spirit of the coalition army. Unexpectedly, they escaped Lu Bu's poisonous hands, but died in the hands of the white wave thieves, which is really embarrassing.
"That thief calls himself Hedong Xu Huang!" Wang Kuang replied.
"Xu Huang, Xu Gongming?" He Xian asked in surprise.
"General Wei knows this guy?" Zhang Yang asked rhetorically.
"If you lose to this Xu Gongming, you two will not lose unjustly." He Xian said with a smile.
Zhang Yang and Wang Kuang didn't expect that this fierce thief general turned out to be He Xian's old friend, the two looked at each other and stood up and hugged their fists and said, "Please make the decision for us!" “
"Don't worry, two adults! Since my lord has agreed to send troops, he must have a perfect plan! Cheng Yu stood up and persuaded the two.
"Dare I ask who this gentleman is?"
"In the next addition to the Nanyang military division, East Ah Chengyu!"
"But Yanzhou celebrity Cheng Zhongdehu?" Wang Kuang said in awe.
"Celebrities don't dare to be, it's underneath!" Cheng Yu said with both hands.
Wang Kuang hurriedly returned the salute and said with emotion: "I have heard of the name for a long time, but I didn't expect that Mr. Zhongde also joined the banner of General Wei. ”
"My master studied under Mr. Shui Jing, and he has the courage of an overlord, has the world in mind, and never forgets to revive the Han family. Lord Zhang, Lord Wang, are all loyal and brave people, why do they participate in righteous deeds? ”
Zhang Yang and Wang Kuang looked at each other, but they didn't expect Cheng Yufu to throw out his intention to solicit as soon as they met. The two were princes of one side before, although they were friendly with He Xian, they were always on an equal footing. But now not to mention the loss of troops, but also the loss of all their territory, occupied by the white wave thieves, it is really a shame to say. The two thought about it for a while, and felt that they were not the material for big things, so it was better to follow a powerful big brother. Although He's reputation is not as loud as Yuan's, he is also considered a corporal of Lixian. The two no longer hesitated, knelt down on one knee and said to He Xian: "The last general, Zhang Yang (Wang Kuang), is willing to serve the lord!" ”
He Xian hurriedly stood up, helped the two of them, and said humbly: "Both of them are my brothers, from now on, we will work together to fight for the Zhongxing Han family!" ”
"Congratulations to my lord, I have been allegiance from two celebrities!" Cheng Yu congratulated.
Zhang Yang and Wang Kuang's strength was lost, but after all, their reputation was outside. After He Xianruo defeated the Bai Bo Army, he recovered Hanoi County and marched into Shangdang County to rely on the names and connections of the two.
"Now, where is the main force of the White Wave Army?" He Xian asked.
"Two days ago, the forward army of 50,000 led by Yang Feng had crossed the Mengjin Pass and was heading towards Luoyang. The main force of more than 100,000 led by Li Le, Han Xian, and Hu Cai is estimated to be still crossing the river. "Zhang Yang also has some light cavalry under his command, so he also knows some information about the enemy.
"Wenyuan! Release the scout cavalry and determine the specific location of Yang Fengbu. He Xian ordered.
"No!" Zhang Liao was ordered to go down and make arrangements.
"My lord, our army might as well put away all the battle flags, and then replace them with the Zhang Zi Banner of the Shang Party Army and the Wang Zi Flag of the Hanoi Army. Show the enemy weak! Xu Shu suggested.
"Great idea!" When He Xian heard this, he immediately adopted Xu Shu's suggestion.
"Wen Chang! When the enemy arrives, you lead half of your men out of the city to fight the first battle! ”
"The last general commands!" Wei Yanxing rushed to respond and said.
"Never!" Wang Kuang suddenly stood up and stopped, "Xu Huang's subordinates have more than 500 tomahawk soldiers, all dressed in armor, not afraid of swords and arrows, and invulnerable to guns!" ”
He Xian and Wei Yan glanced at each other and said in unison: "Heavy infantry!" ”
Unexpectedly, this Xu Huang actually has the same taste as Wei Yan, and likes to build heavy infantry.
The best tactic against heavy infantry is actually the kite flying tactic of light cavalry, using mobility to drag down the heavy infantry alive, and then slowly harvest. But this tactic requires a wilderness and a team of pure cavalry. Now that it is under the city, this tactic must be inappropriate. The other way is to use heavy infantry against heavy infantry. When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!
"Just in time!" After Wei Yan heard Wang Kuang's warning, he was even more surprised: "The thousand Nanyang Chongbu under the command of the captain of this school is worried that there is no opponent, and this time you can just try your hand!" ”
"Wen Chang can be spearmen in front and confuse the enemy to attack. After the enemy has charged, the pikemen retreat, and the heavy infantry advances, and it should be a miracle! He Xian reminded.
"Don't worry! One fights the other, Nanyang Chongbu has never lost, let alone two against one! Wei Yan smiled hideously, as if he had predicted the scene of the White Wave Thief's fiasco.
