Chapter 274: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron

Shuizhai and Exian are not too close or far, and after about half an hour, the soldiers who asked for help finally arrived in Exian.

Huang Jie was woken up in his sleep, and he heard that the water village was attacked, at first he didn't believe it, but when he calmed down and listened, heh, he could indeed faintly hear the faint shouting and killing sound from a distance, and he was immediately frightened by some of the six gods and no masters, because according to the soldier who reported it, the army that Jinfan dispatched this time was 30,000, or even far more than that, how could he not panic?

In fact, these days, with the rise of Jinfan in the southeast, Huang Jie has been afraid that the other party will suddenly raise troops to retaliate against him one day, especially after learning about Jinfan's fierce achievements in the past two years, it has made Huang Jie have a trace of instinctive fear of Jinfan in his heart.

Fortunately, Huang Jie has led the troops for many years, and his psychological endurance is far better than that of ordinary people, after the initial panic, he quickly calmed down, and instructed the guards beside him: "You went out of the city overnight to Shaxian to inform my father, tell him about the situation here, and let him send troops to help as soon as possible!" ”

"No!" The guards took the order, and in the blink of an eye, they rode out of the city on a fast horse and disappeared into the night.

Immediately, when Deputy General Deng Long saw that Huang Jie had not given the order to rescue Shuizhai for a long time, he couldn't help but ask: "Major General, Shuizhai ...... Isn't it saved? ”

Huang Jie shook his head solemnly, and sighed: "I can't save it, Jinfan has many generals, in case I wait to go out of the city, it coincides with Jinfan's attack on the water village, with our small number of troops, can we defeat Jinfan's tens of thousands of troops?" So instead of risking our troops, we might as well hold on to the city. Sit back and wait for my father to come to help, at least the city of Exian is far stronger than the water village, and we can barely hold on for a while! ”

Deng Long said worriedly: "That being said. But if the water village is broken and the lord is blocked by the Jinfan army, then won't we become a lone army? ”

This Deng Long is the vanguard general under Huang Zu, who only recognizes Huang Zu, not Liu Biao, so he will call Huang Zu the lord, in history. This person served as the vanguard of the Eastern Wu Dynasty together with Chen Wei, and later died in the hands of Gan Ning, who was newly descended to Sun Quan and made meritorious contributions.

Huang Jie sneered: "So. We just happened to send troops to attack Jinfan with my father, wouldn't we be more sure of victory? ”

Deng Long saw that Huang Jie had made up his mind, so he simply stopped persuading, but in his heart. But he did not agree with this practice of yellow shooting. Because in his opinion, as long as Shuizhai can hold out until dawn and not be breached, Jinfan, who cannot be attacked, will inevitably choose to withdraw the army, and when the time comes, wait for Huang Zu's army to settle in, and the crisis can be lifted.

At this time, in a compound near the city gate, hundreds of burly soldiers of the Iron Guard Battalion were already ready to go.

Zhou Hu eagerly asked Liu Ye, "Military advisor." Now that my Jinfan army is already attacking the water village, I don't know when I will dispatch? ”

Liu Ye smiled slightly. said calmly: "The time has not yet come, please General Zhou be calm and not impatient!" ”

"This ......" Zhou Hu was anxious when he heard this, "Strategist, this ugly time is almost over, how can the time not come?" ”

Zhou Hu is impatient, if it weren't for Wang Chong's repeated instructions to him to obey Liu Ye's arrangement before, he is afraid that he will not be able to bear it now, and he will rush out with his soldiers, after all, the Iron Guard Battalion is the elite of the elite, and it has its own arrogance, and no one in the entire Jinfan except Wang Chong and Gan Ning can really suppress them.

Liu Ye smiled and asked, "General Zhou, does it know how long it has been since the sound of shouting and killing was faintly heard from the north?" ”

Zhou Hu was stunned for a moment, not knowing the intention of Liu Ye's question, but he still replied truthfully: "It should be more than an hour, right?" ”

Liu Ye nodded meaningfully: "Yes, it's been more than an hour, does General Zhou think that with my Jinfan's tens of thousands of troops, it will take so long to break through a defenseless water village with only 3,000 people?" ”

"Huh?" When Liu Ye said this, Zhou Hu really felt that this matter was strange, "Could it be that the lord didn't attack with all his might?" ”

"Indeed!"

Zhou Hu was puzzled: "But why is this?" ”

Liu Ye explained: "The lord is inducing Huang Jie to lead the troops out of the city to rescue, so as to reduce the pressure on us to seize the city as much as possible!" ”

Zhou Hu muttered: "The lord is also underestimating us, right?" With just 5,000 rabbles in the city, how can they defeat the 800 soldiers of our Iron Guard Battalion? ”

Liu Ye reminded: "General Zhou, don't forget, this is Jiangxia, and most of the families in the city are surrounded by Huang Zu, in case we are in a stalemate with the Huang Shot Army and can't take the city in one fell swoop, who knows if they will send private soldiers to help Huang Shot?" ”

Zhou Hu immediately withered when he heard this, and stayed here for a while, he knew that the families in the city of Exian County had a lot of family private soldiers, if they were put together, there would be three or four thousand, although he said that he looked down on these stragglers, but if he added the five thousand troops of Huang Shot, even if he was arrogant, he didn't think that the Iron Guard Battalion could really fight with one enemy and ten.

――――――――――――――――――――――

"Activate the skill, draw the salary from the bottom of the kettle!"

On the river, Wang Chong saw that more than an hour had passed and he couldn't see Huang Jie's reinforcements, so he knew that this kid was planning to hide in the city and was not ready to come out, which also made him have to use his skills to improve the possibility of Huang Shooting out of the city.

The skill of drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle is a comprehensive skill, just like this time, not only to lure Huang out of the city, but even the Iron Guard Battalion to capture the city is also included, so the success rate will be relatively low, Wang Chong has not used it since he activated it.

"Ding, the battle match is successful, this time the lv1 pot bottom draw skill can increase the success rate by 15%, the current success rate is 72%, the cooldown time is one month, do you confirm the use?"

"72%?" Listening to the system's prompts, Wang Chong couldn't help frowning, this success rate is not up or down, and it does not guarantee that the strategy is foolproof.

Fortunately, Wang Chong's current skill points are still surplus enough, so he simply spent a little bit and raised the salary from the bottom of the kettle to level 2, which also made the success rate of the skill skyrocket to 87%.

When Wang Chong confirmed it, Huang Jie, who was in Exian County, couldn't help but fall into deep thought when facing the third emergency order sent by Shuizhai: "The situation seems to be wrong, if Jinfan really has an army of more than 30,000, it is impossible that he will not be able to capture Shuizhai after so long, right?" ”

Seeing Huang Shot's hesitation, Deputy General Deng Long hurriedly said: "Major General, the last general heard that Jin Fan suffered a lot of casualties in the previous battle with Jiangdong, so this army, it is very likely that they have just recruited new soldiers, this combat effectiveness is naturally not good, of course, there is another possibility, that is, Jin Fan is just bluffing this time, in fact, they did not send so many troops!" ”

Huang Jie's eyes lit up, and he raised his head and asked Deng Longdao: "What does General Deng mean, send troops to rescue?" ”

Deng Long nodded and said: "If you can keep the water village from losing, when the lord's army arrives tomorrow, the Jinfan advantage will be gone!" ”

Huang Jian thought about it, and finally made up his mind, and said: "Okay, in this way, I will personally lead an army of 3,000 to go, I want to see if this Jinfan is really as invincible as the legend!" ”

"The Major General is wise!" (To be continued.) )
