Chapter 444: Veteran Huang Zhong

"Why didn't General Huang rest late at night, could it be that the little Beipingyi stumped you?"

Huang Zhong was shocked, drew his sword, and said vigilantly: "Who is it?" "This is the big tent of the Xiliang Army, and the soldiers guarding the periphery are stacked on top of each other, and he doesn't believe that anyone can break in safely without alarming any soldiers.

A person walked in outside the tent, dressed in the clothes of ordinary people, but his body flashed with a murderous aura.

"General Zhang? How did you get here? Huang Zhong put his sword into the sheath and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

Zhang Xiu said indifferently: "Recently, I heard that the Xiliang army was blocked in Beipingyi, and Zhang came to help. ”

Huang Zhong's face showed a look of shame, the first time he led the army to fight and encountered such a thing, it was inevitable that he couldn't let go.

"General Huang's love for the people is a blessing for our army, but doesn't the general hear the saying that he is not in charge of the army? If Xian Yuyin is also like the Beipingyi defenders who drove the people to the city from the general general, is it that our army will not attack the city and spend money and food stationed outside the city? Zhang Xiu's tone had a hint of reprimand, "How much food does the army consume in a day, General Huang must know in his heart, he only dared to rebel and expel the people to the city wall to defend the city, but he could not stop the pace of our army's attack, although the general loves the people like a son, but General Huang should not forget the military order like a mountain!" ”

Huang Zhong said: "I was derelict in my duty, but when I saw those people, I really couldn't bear to give orders." ”

"General Huang, you must know that if you don't break through the city in front of you, more people will suffer, and the death of these people will be exchanged for the happiness of all the people of Daijun, and the sacrifice of a few will make everyone whole, what if Weishenme doesn't do it? These are the most basic things to be a military general, and I believe General Huang also understands it. Zhang Xiu's tone softened.

Huang Zhong hugged his fists and said: "Thank you General Zhang for reminding me, I know how to do it." ”

Huang Zhong is nearly fifty years old and has rich battlefield experience, but he was influenced by the ideology of the Xiliang Army and could not adapt to it on the battlefield for a while.

Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "General Huang can understand this, it is a blessing for our army, Zhang has never had anything to do with General Huang, so I will help you capture Beipingyi tonight, and it is not in vain that I got acquainted with General Huang, who has superb archery skills." ”

A look of surprise flashed in Huang Zhong's eyes, from Zhang Xiu's fluttering words, he could hear that as long as the people in front of him in front of Beipingyi were willing, the army could be captured overnight, Zhang Xiu's status in the Xiliang Army was rarely known, and Huang Zhong also learned from Guo Jia that Zhang Xiu was in charge of a secret team, and his combat effectiveness was the leader of the Xiliang Army.

"Thank you so much, General Zhang!" Huang Zhong was happy to accept the benefits of being sent to the door, and he just took the opportunity to meet Zhang Xiu, who was quite famous in the Xiliang Army.

Huang Zhong led a thousand cavalry to wait, as long as there is a change in Beipingyi, immediately attack, Zhang Xiu and he made an appointment to raise fire as a signal, when Huang Zhong led the army into a swrench, then Beipingyi was settled.

In the dark night, Huang Zhong's eyesight was far beyond ordinary people, and he vaguely saw more than 100 people dressed in black, skillfully climbing the city wall, and in the silent night, he could only hear the gentle sound of rustling.

"Who are these people?" Huang Zhong asked softly.

Guo Jia yawned and said, "Lone wolf, General Huang is so lucky, he met a lone wolf, and this Beipingyi is nine out of ten." ”

Huang Zhong was shocked, the lone wolf soldier has always been a mysterious existence in the Xiliang Army, he has been in the army for so long, he also vaguely heard the name of the lone wolf, he has never seen it with his own eyes, in this way, Zhang Xiu is the commander of the lone wolf, looking at Guo Jia's expression, he has long known about this matter, it seems that he has not entered the core of the Xiliang Army.

In the dark night, the torches were lit above the city wall, constantly shaking, particularly conspicuous in the dark night, Huang Zhong's spirit was shocked, and with a wave of his hand, the thousand cavalry behind him rolled towards Beipingyi.

The city gate creaked open, and Huang Zhong took the lead, entered the city, and went straight to the army in the city.

The sleeping Youzhou Army was overturned by the people killed by the Xiliang Army, and Shan Cong was also killed in the chaos.

At dawn, the big word "quiet" on the head of the city was replaced by "cool", and the people who did not know it inquired about it, only to learn that it was the Xiliang army that entered the city.

After getting Beipingyi, Huang Zhong immediately went out to settle the people, and after a short rest, he led the army to kill the county, as long as the county was captured, the real county was in the pocket of the Xiliang army.

When the news of the Xiliang army's attack on Daijun reached Yan Rou's army, none of the generals in the army dared to answer, and the scene was strangely quiet.

Yan Rou coughed lightly and said, "The Xiliang Army disregarded the Han family and sent troops to attack my Youzhou without authorization, what do you think?" ”

Youzhou engaged in Xian Yu Fudao: "General, there are only more than 10,000 people in the Xiliang army, and there are more than 8,000 defenders in Daijun. ”

"The defender of Daijun is General Xian Yuyin, who is strong, I am afraid that he can't stand the insults of the Xiliang army and goes out of the city to face the battle, so Daijun is in danger." Don't be overdone.

Although Youzhou Mu Liu He has not yet arrived, most of the officials in Youzhou have been decided, Yan Rou commands the three armies, Qi Zhou is a different driver, Xian Yu is engaged in auxiliary work, and the rest of the officials have their own rewards, and when Liu He arrives, they can take office immediately, but how much power is left in their hands is unknown.

"Strictly order General Xian Yuyin not to go out of the city to fight, holding Daijun is a great achievement, and when the Xiliang army runs out of food and grass, it will naturally retreat." Yan Rou ordered that after repeated battles, the Xiliang Army would definitely not fight a protracted battle.

"Not only that, the Yuan army has an old relationship with our army, why not borrow troops from him to help General Xian Yuyin defend Dai County together." Qi Zhoudao.

"Hmph, how can Yuan Shao easily send troops, the Xiliang army is brave and good at fighting, not Gongsun Zhan's Bai Ma Yi can compare." Yan Rou's tone was a little dissatisfied, "It is said that Yuan Shao has reached an alliance with the Xiliang Army, how can he go to war against the Xiliang Army because of Youzhou." ”

Since taking over Youzhou, the strength in Yan Rou's hands has soared, and now Youzhou Muming is Liu He, but the actual power is in the hands of Yan Rou, who has quite a means, rewards and punishments, and his prestige in Youzhou is growing, but the current strength is limited, and the total number of soldiers and horses in Youzhou is only 50,000 people, otherwise how can Yuan Shao be allowed to occupy Zhuo County.

Pengcheng was still strong under the stormy attack of the Cao army, and there were fierce generals such as Zhang Fei and Guan Yu in the city, which greatly stimulated the morale of the soldiers, and the five hundred infantry led by Mi Zhu were invincible, and the Cao army could not stop it.

In desperation, Cao's army could only be stationed outside Pengcheng, and the army kept attacking the city, consuming the strength of the army in the city.

Yuan Shao moved, Cao Cao attacked the land of Qingzhou, so that his Jihua in the land of Youzhou was completely ruined, and after returning to Jizhou for a little rectification, he ordered all the troops and horses to kill Qingzhou.

The name of Yuan Shao IV and the third duke is still very effective, and he wants to be invincible when he captures the city one after another, when Cao Cao led the army to arrive, the officials did not hesitate to surrender, and now Yuan Shao arrives, the situation seems to be the same, but in January, he captured a county.

Qingzhou is in danger, Cao Cao's advisers have advised to return to Qingzhou, if Qingzhou is lost, the strength of Cao's army will definitely be greatly reduced.

The mutual attack of the princes of the Central Plains, the influence of the royal family in the Han world has become smaller and smaller, on the bright side, it is still the Han emperor in charge, but in fact, the princes secretly do not listen to orders and develop their strength, as if they have shown the situation that Zhou Tianzi is incompetent and the princes are in groups.

More than 12,000 Xiliang troops were stationed outside the county town, and the strong camp did not give Xian Yuyin any opportunity to take advantage of at all.

For three days in a row, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army continued to insult outside the city, and after receiving Yan Rou's military order, Xian Yuyin did not dare to despise it, so he could only stay in the city and let the Xiliang Army insult.

The means of the Xiliang army emerged in endlessly, shooting persuasion letters into the city, pretending to attack the city in the middle of the night, etc., making the Youzhou army in the city anxious, Youzhou is a border state, and the officers and soldiers in the army are all hot-blooded men, how to withstand the insults of the soldiers, and they have asked for war.

On the fourth day, the siege equipment of the Xiliang army had been fully prepared, and Huang Zhong led five hundred cavalry to stand proudly outside the county city with a broadsword, and said loudly: "When General Baima was here, the Youzhou army was so majestic, and now it has become a shrinking person. ”

The white-haired Huang Zhong made the generals in the city bow their heads in shame.

"The old man is just a small man in the Xiliang army, and he is willing to ask the fierce generals of Youzhou!"

Looking at Huang Zhong's figure, Guo Jia smiled and said: "General Huang's words are also a loss, but I am afraid that the Youzhou army in the city will not be able to withstand such stimulation." ”

After Xian Yuyin heard the news reported by the soldiers, he took the case: "Xiliang Army, deceive me too much, order all the soldiers and horses to go out of the city to face the battle, let the Xiliang Army see the demeanor of Youzhou athletes!" ”

The generals in the tent claimed that they had endured such a wretched spirit for many days, and they couldn't stand it anymore, and they naturally reacted when they saw that they were not in the silver hair, and they didn't care what the consequences would be.

In front of the five hundred cavalry was a veteran with gray hair, and Xian Yuyin was even more angry that his throat was a little blocked.

"Go back quickly, General Ben's men are not dead and nameless!" Xian Yuyin shouted: "Let the Xiliang army be able to fight!" ”

Huang Zhong immediately crossed his sword and said with a smile: "It's ridiculous and huge Youzhou, finally a general dares to fight." ”

"Who would dare to come forward and kill this man?" Xian Yuyin shouted in a low voice, seeing that Old Huang Zhong was not interested, he didn't care about any face.

"The last will go!" As soon as the words fell, Shan Yan immediately slapped his horse and went into battle, he and Shan Cong are brothers, and their hatred for the Xiliang Army can be imagined.

Like Huang Zhong, Shan Yan also used a long knife.

Huang Zhong snorted coldly, slapped the horse and killed Shan Yan, Huang Zhong's one-handed sword technique made it superb, and it was also a must in the Xiliang army.

The two knives intersected, Shan Yan's arm holding the knife was sore, and his eyes looking at Huang Zhong contained a trace of awe, the big knife was raised slightly, and he slapped his horse again to kill Huang Zhong.

In the blink of an eye, the two had already fought more than a dozen times, and Huang Zhong's face was still the same, but Shan Yan's face turned red.

"The Youzhou army is nothing more than this, even the old man can't beat it." After Huang Zhong fought, he said calmly.

Huang Zhong's words made Shan Yan angry, and the long knife slashed towards Huang Zhong, and there was a faint sound of breaking the wind, "Death to the husband!" Shan Yan shouted.

Sparks flew everywhere, and the war horses under the two of them were affected by this gravity, and they all neighed.

"Ding", there was a brief silence, and suddenly there was a discordant sound.
