Chapter 547: A Last Stand
Miao Shang was overjoyed when he heard this: "The general is really a tiger general in the world!" Even if Xu Shu had wisdom, he couldn't imagine that the general would dare to send troops to counterattack at this time. ”
"This so-called mourning soldier will win!" Xu Huang sighed, hugged his fist to Miao Shang and said, "There is no one available in the army today, and I need the Ming Mansion to help me." ”
"This ......" Miao Shang was taken aback, waved his hand and said: "It's not that I am greedy for life and afraid of death, and I don't want to contribute, but I have never led the troops, and I am afraid that I will miss the general's major event." ”
"There is no need for the Ming Mansion to lead troops to fight!" Xu Huang said with a smile: "King Jinye is in a hurry, if he doesn't send troops to rescue, Xu Shu will definitely be suspicious!" The Ming Mansion could bring a reserve of recruits, pretending to rush to the aid of the wild king, but after dark, he turned back to the shore of Jishui. ”
Miao Shang asked, "I don't know when I will return to the camp?" ”
Xu Huang said: "In the past two days, Xu Shu ordered people to pretend to build bridges, fill the river and store water, and the upstream water surface rose. A night attack on the camp, the upstream defenders will come to the rescue, the Ming Mansion can take people to dig the river, even if Ma Dai is prepared, want to rescue, can only sigh across the river. ”
"I see!" Miao Shang was stunned, but frowned again and said: "But the general crosses the opposite bank, once the water is released, he will not be able to turn back, isn't it dangerous?" ”
"For the generals, why be afraid of hardships and dangers?" Xu Huang stood up and said loudly: "This move is a battle against the water, there is no advance or retreat, and it is also to prevent Xu Shu's villains from robbing my camp, which is unsuccessful...... Then you will become benevolent! ”
Seeing that Xu Huang was so resolute, Miao Shang's previous dissatisfaction with him disappeared, and he hugged his fists and said: "In the past, Han Xin lined up against the water and broke the Zhao army, and now the general will be able to build another miraculous feat." ”
Xu Huang frowned secretly when he heard this, Han Xin is the founding father of the Han Dynasty, Miao Shang compares him to him, is it not good to be a teacher?
Shaking his head violently, he waved away the bad thoughts, and ordered Miao Shang to order five thousand recruits and miscellaneous servants in the rear camp, and march towards the wild king in full dress.
In the evening, Xu Huang summoned the generals of each battalion, and as far as the eye could see, they were all mediocre people, and their hearts were inexplicably sentimental, and they ordered the generals to prepare their own preparations, and ambushed on the bank of the river after the third watch, first to see if Xu Shu sent troops to rob the camp, and then make plans.
At the turn of spring and summer, the night wind howls, echoing with the sound of the waves, high and low, just like the ups and downs of the mind.
I thought that Xu Shu feinted to attack the wild king, it was a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, but who knew that he actually sent a large army to take it and put himself in a dilemma.
But once the army is withdrawn, Zhang Ren of Mengjin will cross the river to the north and join forces with Xu Shu, with more than 100,000 troops, and he will not be able to deal with it, in fact, he has no choice.
More than half of the third watch, there was no movement on the river, up and down scouts to investigate, did not see the Han army send troops, Xu Huang immediately decided, and the soldiers crossed the river in three ways.
The soldiers had already prepared their boats, and in the past two days they had built bridges upstream to block the river, and the riverbed was shallow, which was conducive to crossing the river, and after crossing the river, they lay in ambush on the bank of the river, and when the cavalry attacked the camp from the flank, they would kill the wind and set fire, burn the camp and kill it.
Xu Huang led 3,000 elite cavalry, detoured to the lower reaches of Jishui, used a big boat to transport war horses from the ferry to cross the river, scouts came to report, and there were Han cavalry patrols in front, but they were obviously not as good as yesterday's spirit, and only walked around the camp.
Xu Huang was secretly happy in his heart, and led the troops to kill the camp, and when he arrived in front of the camp, the torches in the distance were bright, and the defenders heard the sound of horses' hooves, and immediately shouted loudly to warn.
Knock Knock Knock –
The drums at the camp gate were loud, and the defenders hurriedly responded to the battle, although Xu Shu's army was strictly disciplined, but he had been slacking off for several days, and he still couldn't stop the impact of the cavalry.
"Kill-" Xu Huang took the lead, raised an axe to cut open the camp gate, and before the defenders on the arrow tower released their arrows, the cavalry had already swarmed in and rushed to the village.
The earth-shattering drums were mixed with terrible screams, the defenders at the gate of the camp were attacked by cavalry, and there were generals like Xu Huang who opened the way, where could they resist, they all dodged around.
"Who is bold enough to break into my camp?" In the midst of the chaos, there was a loud shout from the front, and a horizontal knife immediately blocked the way.
Behind him, a group of cavalry lined up, sitting upright on horses, lined up in formation, swords and guns flashing with cold light, at a glance they were battle-hardened elite soldiers.
Seeing that the Han army responded so quickly, Xu Huang was relieved, and urged him to step forward and shout: "Xu Huang is here, who is blocking my way?" ”
"A certain Xiliang Pang De," Pang De looked at Xu Huang with a knife, and sneered: "Cao thief usurped rebellion, he has already been given the head, and you and other minions have not yet repented and surrendered early, and you are determined to be a thief?" ”
Xu Huang said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister Cao Cheng protects the country and is loyal to the imperial court, you and others do not obey the king's orders, and you are disobedient and criminal, you are really a thief!" ”
"Hahaha, if it's a real thief, take a bite, and get three points into the wood!" Pang De looked up to the sky and laughed, stared at Xu Huang and said slowly: "A thief is a thief, and a dog can't change eating." ”
"Shut up, the nameless man dares to speak wildly?" Xu Huang saw that Pang De was more broken than Ma Chao, and he was furious, urging Ma to raise an axe and kill: "Suffer death!" ”
Pound laughed and raised his knife to fight, both of them were heavy weapons, and they fought at the gate of the camp, and the sound of weapons hitting was deafening.
Xu Huang came to attack the camp, wanting to get rid of Xu Shu in one fell swoop, and when he came up, he was attacked, thinking that four or five would be able to cut Pang De under the horse, but who knew that more than ten hands were not divided between up and down, and he couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
At the time of the battle, the shouting and killing outside the east camp started, and in a blink of an eye, I saw the flames soaring into the sky, and the smoke drifted into the camp along the east wind, and the fireworks spread out.
Pang De was shocked when he saw this, and struggled to force Xu Huang back, leading the troops to retreat, and shouted: "Protect the military division and go quickly." ”
At this time, the Wei army ambushed on the bank of the river and rushed into the camp, the Han army could not resist, and the sound of gold came from the direction of the Chinese army, and it was obvious that Xu Shu ordered the troops to retreat.
Pang De led his troops to the big tent of the Chinese army, and the Han army retreated into the camp and ran around, and the formation was already in chaos.
"If you make a meritorious service and receive a reward, you will come with a certain today!" When Xu Huang saw the chaos of the Han army, he was ecstatic in his heart, and immediately ordered to urge the soldiers and horses to chase after Pang De forward.
The fire in the big tent in front was bright, and Pang De was protecting Xu Shu and hurriedly got on his horse and went north with his own soldiers and officials.
Xu Huang rushed to the scene and yelled, "Xu Shu is leaving!" ”
Pang Dezong immediately stepped forward to stop him, and said in a deep voice: "Xu Huang, don't get an inch, I advise you to do it yourself!" ”
Xu Huang laughed and said: "Eliminate the evil, Xu is edicted to beg the thief, how can he leave the disaster?" ”
Pang De was furious, and fought with Xu Huang for more than ten years, seeing that the soldiers and horses in the camp were fleeing in all directions, and the Wei army was constantly killing from the fireworks and leading the Xiliang soldiers to retreat.
After successive defeats, this time finally won a big victory, Xu Huang and the Wei army were completely red-eyed, and chased straight out of the north gate of the camp, only to see that the entire camp had been burned down more than half, the fire reflected the red sky, and there were fleeing figures everywhere.
Seeing that Xu Shu was in front of him, he was stopped by Xu Huang several times by the Xiliang Army with superb riding skills, and he was also hit by an arrow in his arm at some point.
Xu Huang was so angry that he jumped like thunder, slashed several people in a row, stared at Xu Shu in front of him, and chased after him, eager to cut those harassing Xiliang troops into pulp.
Pang De fought and walked, and after struggling to break, he roared urgently: "Xu Huang, don't you hear that the poor Kou Mo is chasing? ”
Xu Huang was suddenly laughed at angrily, and laughed: "Are you finally admitting to being a coward?" ”
"I'm Nima......" Pang De was angry, but he didn't dare to fight with Xu Huang, and urged the mount to rush forward.
