Chapter 64: Barbarian Invasion

Huang Zhang slapped the information he got on the table, his face was obviously a little ugly.

Seeing Huang Zhang's appearance, Hu Yi'er hurriedly asked, "Childe, what happened?" ”

The girl also leaned over suspiciously, this was the first time she had seen Huang Zhang so angry.

"Bian Huan was arrested by Jia Yu!" Huang Zhang said in a deep voice.

Hu Yi'er was stunned for a moment, a little unclear.

"So what? Why is he angry when he was caught? ”

If she remembered correctly, it seemed that Bian Huan had to bring troops over to fight them before, and now that Bian Huan was arrested, shouldn't she be happy?

Seeing that she didn't understand, the girl explained to her: "Come to think of it, he is worried that Bian Huan will be arrested, and there will be problems with the Thousand Teeth Army against the barbarians without a commander. ”

Huang Zhang nodded, still a dreamy girl with a quick brain and understood her thoughts.

What he was most worried about now was the barbarians coming, and he didn't think that he could resist the barbarians with his own strength.

If something happens to the Thousand Teeth Army now, then things won't be good.

"So what do we do? Could it be that we rushed to Wucheng and rescued Bian Huan? ”

However, as soon as Hu Yier finished speaking, she felt that her words were a little redundant.

Now Jia Yu wants to deal with them, if they run to Wucheng, won't they fall into the net?

"Or, Childe, why don't you just show your identity as the eldest prince and go to protect him?"

After Hu Yi'er finished speaking, Huang Zhang glanced at her.

"This Jia Yu has tried to put me to death again and again, if I go to Wucheng to declare my identity, I am afraid that I will be immediately locked up by him for the crime of stealing my name."

After saying this, Hu Yier suddenly became angry.

"He is a small commander of Wucheng, he dare?"

Huang Zhang glanced at her.

"Don't dare? If he didn't dare, I almost hung up the first few times? ”

"Childe, just write a letter and I'll take it back to the capital and sue him!"

At this time, the girl on the side spoke.

"You have said it, how dare he deal with the prince in Wucheng, which means that he must have someone in the capital, do you have your own backer in the capital? If not, how can you guarantee that you will be able to send the information? ”

As soon as these words came out, Hu Yi'er was immediately dumbfounded, she is a maid, what connections can she have, as for Huang Zhang, not to mention, although he is the eldest prince, he is a concubine, and no minister in the court will put the treasure on him, plus the previous emperor Zhang was alchemy every day when he was in the capital, and he did not entrap the minister.

"The lady is right, my status as a prince may be unattainable for the people, but for the magnates in the capital, it is just a name, if they dare to do it to me, they are not afraid that I will return to the capital! If you don't have the power in your hands, where do you go to find justice? ”

This was very clear from the time Huang Zhang first arrived in the Otherworld.

Without the strength equivalent to his identity, this identity can only be a source of fire, although he doesn't know why anyone would kill him, an exiled prince with no power,

"Actually, we are not afraid of the barbarians coming, it's a big deal to continue to set up that Tianmen array on the official road, and block the barbarians like a thousand tooth army!"

But Huang Zhang shook his head.

"No, the Tianmen Array can only block the barbarians for a while, and besides, if the barbarians are menacing, the Tianmen Array alone can't stop it at all."

"That ......"

Hu Yi'er has no tricks now, he can't enter Beijing, he can't go to Tianmen Array, so if the barbarians come over, won't they just sit and wait for death?

"Don't think too much, after all, the barbarians haven't fought yet, and we also have to have confidence in the army of the imperial court!" Huang Zhang comforted.

Looking at Huang Zhang's calm appearance, the girl laughed a little playfully.

"Actually, you don't have much confidence in the imperial court in your heart, right?"

Huang Zhang looked at the girl, to be honest, he still liked the yellow bird before, at least it wouldn't be like now, which made him feel like he had nothing to hide, and he felt that he was pure and was seen through.

"You talk a lot!"

……

Hengyuan battlefield in Tianfu County.

After capturing Langqi City, the barbarian army did not hesitate and immediately advanced in the direction of Wucheng.

After Hu Cao learned that his son was killed by the barbarians in Langqi City, his anger was full, and he dispatched all the troops of Tianfu County to the front line directly.

At that time, Bian Huan, who was the commander of the Thousand Teeth Army, did not return, and Hu Cao was eager for revenge, so he did not bring the Thousand Teeth Army.

Tianfu County, as the front line of the anti-barbarian resistance, in addition to the elite of the 20,000 tooth army, there are also 50,000 county soldiers. In addition to the troops that were broken by the barbarians at Langqi City and along the way, Hu Cao organized 40,000 men to meet the barbarians on the battlefield of Hengyuan.

Hengyuan is the largest plain in Tianfu County, and it is also the important grain production area of Tianfu County, if Hengyuan is captured, the barbarians do not need to worry about the supply of grain and grass.

As a strategic point, Hengyuan must be defended!

This time, the barbarians raised a total of 50,000 troops, and the leading general of the barbarian army was called Ke Wushu, who was the younger brother of the Southern Barbarian King Cangbo, and his strength was very strong.

But Hu Cao's county soldiers are not vegetarians, although they are not comparable to the Qianya army in terms of hard power, but relying on the dock fort on the Hengyuan Plain, they can also keep the barbarians out.

As a strategic place in Tianfu County, the first Taishou of Tianfu County once built eighteen dock forts on the Hengyuan Plain, and the road between the dock forts and the dock forts was smooth, as long as the barracks were stationed between the dock forts, the barbarians could not storm them.

This is also the confidence of Hu Cao to dare to fight head-on with the barbarian army.

The southern barbarian land is foggy and uncivilized, resulting in the size of the barbarians generally being a head taller than the Su people, if the barbarian army and the Su army fight head-on, the chance of victory is not great, unless it is an elite army like the Thousand Teeth Army.

"My lord, there is news from the rear, Commander Bian has finished suppressing the bandits, and at the request of Commander Jia, he is rushing over with the Qianya Army."

Hearing the news, Hu Cao's face was overjoyed.

During this time, he was too aggrieved that the barbarians could not break the chain of the dock fort, so they called for battle in front of his camp every day, and even worse, directly hung his son's head on a bamboo pole, exposing the corpse to the wilderness.

Where could Hu Cao stand such an insult, and directly ordered his generals to lead people into battle to snatch back his son's head.

But the barbarians have already been ready for battle, and the moment the county soldiers went out to fight, they had already entered the trap of the barbarians, and in order to regain Hu Rong's head, the county soldiers were forced to kill a bloody way under the encirclement and suppression of the barbarians.

Hu Cao knew that it was a plan, but he couldn't do anything, and he didn't even dare to continue to send troops to respond.

He was afraid that if he sent troops again, the barbarians would take advantage of the chaos to attack the Dock Fort, and if the Dock Fort was lost, then the battle would be completely over.

Fortunately, the county soldiers were brave, and finally brought back Hu Rong's head after paying the price of 8,000 casualties.

This is not a victory, at least Hu Cao got his son's head, but this casualty is really unacceptable.

Because of this, no matter how much the barbarians called for the battle in the future, Hu Cao was unmoved.

After hearing the news that the Thousand Teeth Army was about to arrive, Hu Cao felt a lot better.

As soon as the Thousand Tooth Army arrives, he will inevitably make the barbarians pay!
