Chapter 534: Surprise
Xu Huang broke Xu Shang in the first battle, lost most of his soldiers and horses, and led the remnants of the soldiers to retreat to Meng County to rest, and was depressed.
The county ordered to supply grain and grass to comfort the soldiers, and said to Xu Huang: "The Xiliang army is fierce and good at fighting, and it is only difficult for the Hanoi defenders to resist, so it is the best policy to report to the prince for help as soon as possible." β
Xu Huang sighed: "The Central Plains is not in a good position, and the troops of Hebei are all transferred to Xuzhou and Yanzhou, and I am afraid that the prince of the world is helpless, and it only adds to the chaos." β
The county ordered: "The general should not forget that there are still 50,000 elite soldiers in Bingzhou, and Gao Gan has been recuperating since he was demoted to prime minister, but he has never served his life, and Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army is also stationed in Shangdang, which is enough to help." β
Xu Huang frowned and said: "Gao Gan's defense and annexation of the state is to prevent Xianbei and the Xiongnu, Zhang Yan's department is supposed to support Hedong, and I am afraid that I will not dare to act rashly." β
The county order hurriedly said: "If Hanoi is lost, what is the benefit of guarding the east of the river, and it will endanger Hebei, this is a top priority!" Today's domestic troubles are in danger, why care about the Hu people? And the Xiongnu have long been attached, and Xianbei has been broken, so there is no need to worry. β
Xu Huang pondered for a long time, there were 100,000 Xiliang troops, and he had already learned their bravery, with the current strength of Hanoi, it was indeed difficult to resist, and finally nodded and said: "Let's report on the military situation of the prince and see how he decides!" β
The county order went to deliver the message, Xu Huang went to the barracks to inspect, and saw that the morale of the soldiers was low, if it went on like this for a long time, if he didn't wait for Ma Chao to come to fight, sooner or later the army would be disheartened.
After wandering in the camp for a long time, he suddenly had a plan, ordered five hundred fine horsemen overnight, rushed to Yixian along Jishui, and ambushed in the city that night.
In Heyang City, a big victory greatly increased the morale of the Han army, and the courage of the Han army was greatly increased.
The next day, Xu Huang retreated to Jishui to deploy defenses along the river, and Ma Dai and others asked for orders to fight and attack while they were victorious.
Xu Shu said: "Xu Huang has the ability to command the army, our army is insufficient, if the troops are not good, it will fall into the spirit of the generals, and when Meng Qi's army crosses the river, it can take Hanoi with one blow." β
The herald temporarily held the troops still, recuperated and recuperated, and sent Ma Dai to lead the troops to the river bank to meet Ma Chao, cross the Mengjin soldiers and horses to the north bank, contain Xu Huang's army, and Zhang Ren and Wu Yi waited for the opportunity to cross the river from downstream.
With the passing of the general's order, Heyang City also became nervous, and the people were all happy to support, in addition to the hope of the Han army, they also knew about Liu Qi's various policies to benefit the people.
All newly recovered land will be exempted from taxes for three years, and the government will have to redivide the land, which is a great opportunity to turn over, and in addition, single people will also be married, and raising children will be rewarded, all looking forward to an early victory in the war in Hanoi.
Guo Huai had a small victory yesterday, he was still unfinished, he was tasting the sweetness, some couldn't hold it back, and came to Xu Shu to offer advice: "The Xiliang army crossed the river and marched eastward, and it was necessary to guard against the troops of Hedong and Shangdang, and now Xu Huang was defeated, and the Wei army was demoralized, so why not take the opportunity to take Yi County first, cut off the troops east of the river, and stabilize the rear, so that they can calmly enter the army." β
Xu Shu nodded and said: "Boji's words are very much in line with my intentions, yesterday I have ordered Zhengu to write a letter to persuade Yi County to surrender, and there is no news so far." β
Then he ordered someone to invite Xingu to interrogate, and Zhengu pondered: "It must be that the county order is still hesitating, and he is willing to personally persuade him to surrender." β
Guo Huai hugged his fists and said: "The last general can lead the troops to help and deter the defenders. β
"What General Guo said is extremely true, the soldiers and horses in Yixian County are just a rabble, if you don't know the current affairs, you can kill them on the spot."
If the county magistrate of Yixian County does not come to surrender, Xingu also feels that his face is gloomy, he has been in Hanoi for so many years, and he has not even given him face with a small county decree, which is simply unreasonable.
Xu Shu nodded and smiled: "Okay, you two are one scholar and one martial artist, my heart is at ease!" β
He then ordered Guo Huai to lead 3,000 troops, and went to Yixian County with Xingu to make noise, intimidating the defenders with great fanfare, and telling them to surrender without a fight.
At noon, when they arrived at the city, Guo Huai led the troops to set up a formation, and the flags were densely packed, and the defenders in the city were in chaos, panicked and beat drums, and the crowds were crowded for a while.
"That's it?" Ju Gu smiled coldly, beat the horse to the city, and said proudly: "Call Wang County Commander to answer." β
The defenders hurried to pay their respects, but after a while, they saw the city gate slowly open, and Ju Gu looked up to the sky and laughed: "I really don't see the Yellow River......
Before the words fell, his face suddenly changed, and he saw that the shouting and killing in the city was loud, and a group of soldiers and horses rushed out, and the first horse to raise an axe was Xu Huang.
"Huh? You- don't come here! Ju Gu was shocked and hurriedly turned his horse and fled.
Xu Huang's face sank like water, and the horse caught up, and he screamed in despair, but before Guo Huai stepped forward to save him, Xu Huang raised a big axe and slashed him under the horse with one move.
"Betrayal, deserve to be killed!" Xu Huang snorted coldly and led the troops straight to the Han army camp.
Guo Huai also thought that Yixian County ordered Kaicheng to surrender, and was about to come forward to accept it, but he didn't expect Xu Huang to be in the city, stunned, Xingu had been killed, and hurriedly sent an order to resist the enemy.
The Han army was still in a hurry, the bows and arrows had not been wound, the drums in the city vibrate, the Wei army descended the mountain like a tiger, followed Xu Huang straight to the flank, and the soldiers of the left battalion fell down in a large area, screaming again and again.
"How can it be!" Guo Huai Guo Huai's face changed greatly, he knew the plan, but he couldn't retreat at this time, and gritted his teeth to urge the horse to block Xu Huang.
Xu Huang had already held back the fire in his belly, raised his axe and killed Guo Huai, and the cavalry rushed straight into the chaos, these soldiers were Xu Huang's own soldiers, experienced, and could rush and kill without command, not giving the Han army a chance to form a formation.
Although Guo Huai knew that Xu Huang was strong in martial arts, the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and with the guidance of Ma Chao, he thought that his martial arts were greatly advanced, and he roared and stabbed Xu Huang who was killing.
Whenβ
Xu Huang turned the big axe, shook the steel gun away with one move, and turned another axe with his backhand, slashing at Guo Huai's chest.
Guo Huai's arm was numb, and he was secretly frightened in his heart, so he hurriedly turned his horse back to avoid it, knowing that Xu Huang's axe was a heavy weapon, and he didn't fight with him.
Xu Huang and Guo Huai fought for more than ten times, but he couldn't take this young general, seeing his exquisite marksmanship, he was shocked in his heart, he met Ma Dai yesterday, and he didn't want to have such a young general today.
Thinking that if this person grows up, he will be a strong enemy of the Wei State, and the tiger roared and turned the big axe to launch a fierce attack, only to see the cold light flashing, and the surrounding soldiers were forced to retreat, wrapping Guo Huai in it.
At this time, Xu Huang's troops clashed back and forth in the chaotic army, the Han army's formation was in chaos, and there was no general to command, so they fought separately and began to flee, leaving only Guo Huai to support him.
Guo Huai has been defeated by Xu Huang, and when he turned around and saw that the people and horses were scattered, he couldn't help but feel anxious, he only surrendered to Han last year, and he was going to be caught by the Wei army this year?
Just as he was remorseful, suddenly the dust was flying in the distance, the sound of horses' hooves shook, and a group of cavalry flew in, carrying a large cloud of smoke and dust, and the momentum was amazing.
Xu Huang was about to kill Guo Huai, when he heard the pro-soldier proclamation, he knew that the Han army reinforcements had arrived again, and he only had these pro-soldiers left in his hands, so he didn't dare to hold it up, so he had to give up Guo Huai and retreat into the city.
Guo Huai was sweating profusely, his arms trembled, and when he looked back, he saw that this cavalry was fully armed, all wearing fish scale armor, and the war horse was also covered with iron armor, revealing only two eyes and horse legs.
When he first put a white robe and silver armor, his face was like a crown of jade, his sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and he was holding a tiger-headed gun, and he had a rebellious aura that looked down on the world.
