Chapter 207: First Sight of Xu Huang

The high platform where the Baibo army lives is negative to the mountain and the river, the ditches and rivers on both sides are intertwined, and the loess cliff with a height of more than 40 meters along the first line of the Fen River is extremely steep. The White Polish Army built five earthen castles on it, and the five forts were distributed in a zigzag manner along the Fen River, covering the Fen River as a natural barrier, and they defended each other and echoed each other.

The reason why the White Polish Army chose this place was not only because it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but also because of its vast territory, which was enough to provide shelter and rest for hundreds of thousands of troops; The terrain of the platform is gentle, the water source is sufficient, especially thanks to the abundant spring water on the mountain, it can not only provide food and drink for the needs of the large army, but also has the advantage of irrigation, the land is fertile, the agricultural products are rich, and the 100,000 Baibo army can be stationed for a long time to maintain survival even without foreign aid.

After the siege of Yishi City was lifted, Huangfu Jianshou often corresponded with his father Huangfu Song, and Huangfu Song naturally took the opportunity to describe the frontline battle in detail to teach him. Therefore, Huangfu Jianshou had a deep understanding of the situation in Baibo Valley, and at this time, he told the story eloquently, so that Liu Xie and Pang Tong felt like they were there in person, and they had a preliminary understanding of Baibo Valley.

"Yes, Baibo Valley is really easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is Linfen City to complement it outside, and the rainy season is approaching, and I am afraid that it can be conquered in a short time." The emperor had the courage to speak his judgment.

In addition, there is the old demon Zhao Gao! Who knows what else he has? Liu Xie secretly sighed, and then smiled, he was very satisfied with Huangfu Jianshou, being able to tell the situation in Baibo Valley in such detail was obviously very concerned about the battle situation on the front line, and he was willing to personally lead the team to inspect the perimeter of the garrison, which was enough to see his self-motivation and responsibility.

After Pang Tong memorized the situation in Baibo Valley, he inquired in detail about logistics and supplies and other matters, and after knowing it in his heart, he bowed slightly to Huangfu Jianshou: "Thank you, General Huangfu, for solving your doubts." ”

"This is the duty of Jianshou, how dare you be grateful." Huangfu Jianshou hurriedly returned the gift.

In the middle of speaking, he came to the ferry, and Huangfu Jianshou personally escorted the Son of Heaven Liu Xie across the Yellow River, and wanted to leave the five hundred soldiers who were transferred over to the Son of Heaven to protect the Son of Heaven, but Liu Xie refused with a smile. Huangfu Jianshou had no choice but to lead the team back to Linjin City.

Liu Xie led the army to take a short rest in Puban City, and also inquired about the battle situation on the front line, in addition, he focused on inquiring about Xu Huang's news, after all, the logistics supplies were transported from here.

Huangfu Li reported everything in detail, and when it came to Xu Huang's strict training of soldiers, he did not hesitate to praise him.

After Liu Xie heard this, he couldn't sit still anymore, and under the escort of Huangfu Li, he crossed the water and went straight to the place where the metal tiger's body was.

Knock knock! The drums vibrate, the neatly dressed soldiers marched forward when they heard the drums, the shield soldiers were in front, the spearmen were in the back, the queue was neat, and the shouting was deafening and magnificent.

On the high platform, under the banner, Xu Huang held the sword on his waist, looked at the training soldiers with a serious expression, and gave orders from time to time, and the heralds either changed the drums, or waved the flags, or rushed forward and shouted loudly.

Since Zhao Yun led a large group of men and horses to solve the danger of Yi City, Xu Huang began to correct military regulations and strict military discipline, and practiced the surrendered white wave thieves all day long, so that they could recognize the flag, distinguish the golden drum, and know the advance and retreat. Now these more than 1,000 people are strictly disciplined in the army, and the order is forbidden, and the appearance of the army has naturally changed dramatically.

Woo~! A low horn sounded suddenly.

As soon as Xu Huang heard the sound of the horn, his eyebrows instantly rose, and he quickly turned to look at the watchtower of the camp, only to see the soldiers in charge of the lookout above, one was blowing the horn, one was holding a red flag and pointing upwards to the west, and the other was already firing a crossbow and loading arrows.

"Order, withdraw to the barracks and wait!" Xu Huang quickly issued a military order. But in his heart, he was puzzled, the battle ahead was triumphant, why did the soldiers and horses attacking his camp come from the west? Could it be that there was an accident in Kasaka Castle? But why didn't you hear from the call for help? And why didn't the scouts who were scheduled to patrol around the area come back?

Xu Huang took the mountain axe handed over by his own soldiers with a solemn expression, turned over on the war horse, and watched the retreat of the soldiers of each qu with cold eyes.

The soldiers of each Qu were stunned for a moment when they first heard the sound of the horn, and then under the command of the marqu and the commander of the Qu army, they retreated to the camp in an orderly manner according to the command of the banner.

Boom, boom, just after Xu Huang's men and horses entered the camp, the attacking cavalry had already entered their eyes, and they saw a faint light flickering between the dust.

Powerful like a fierce tiger, well-equipped, Xu Huang's eyes were slightly fixed on the galloping enemy horsemen, there were about two hundred horsemen, but why didn't they raise the flag? The enemy, riding a stone's throw away, suddenly divided into two groups and marched around the camp in opposite directions, as if they were going to surround their own camp.

"General, do you want to shoot arrows to kill the enemy?" A military marquis asked with a dry mouth.

"The order goes down, and there is no general order not to release an arrow privately." Xu Huang said categorically.

"No!" The herald answered the promise and quickly conveyed the military order.

"What a rigorous arrangement!" The brute bull led a hundred anti-scale troops to gallop around Xu Huang's camp, only to see that there were trenches dug outside the camp, and there were also antlers, which was a means to prevent cavalry assaults.

Boom, boom, the bull and the lion passed by, and the speed did not slow down around the camp, and they converged again in front of the camp, and the two stopped their horses, and shouted, and the anti-scale army quickly lined up and waited.

What a fine ride! Xu Huang looked at the elite cavalry outside the camp with great enthusiasm, and when he charged, he was like a fierce tiger, and he didn't move like a mountain after the formation.

After taking a deep breath, Xu Huang took a few steps forward and asked loudly, "Who is coming!" ”

Boom, boom, the mad lion just wanted to answer, when he heard the sound of a large group of people coming, and after glancing at the brute bull, he gave way to the left and right.

Ah, Xu Huang looked along the road where the bull and the lion got out of the way, first stunned, and then shouted in a panic: "Put away the bow and crossbow quickly, quickly!" ”

Although there had been speculations before, Xu Huang was still inevitably frightened when he saw the imaginary figure in his mind, and of course there was a hint of surprise.

The soldiers who were ready to face the battle were stunned for a moment, and then put away their bows and crossbows without hesitation.

Xu Huang saw that the soldiers had put away their bows and crossbows, so he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his hand, and continued to shout loudly: "Put away the swords and soldiers, and line up to greet the Son of Heaven!" Fast! ”

"Welcome the Son of Heaven?" After a short period of suffocation, it was inevitable that there would be a commotion.

Xu Huang smiled bitterly and shook his head, don't say that it is these soldiers, even his heart is still pounding at this time, he forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart, and urged loudly again, and after the soldiers put away the swords, he took the lead and ran to the outside of the camp, knelt on the ground from afar, and shouted loudly: "See Your Majesty, long live my emperor!" ”

"See Your Majesty, long live my emperor!" Fortunately, after these hours of training, these soldiers finally did not embarrass Xu Huang, and the queue knelt neatly behind Xu Huang.

Liu Xie looked at the camp in front of him, deliberately glanced at the high watchtower, looked at Xu Huang with a little excitement, and asked, "How?" ”
