Chapter 68: The Captive

Huang Shot had a messy day.

Today, he confronted Xu Sheng, thinking that relying on the strength of the army could easily break the city, but unexpectedly, his subordinates were really useless, the siege soldiers were shot back, playing strongholds, and then his own soldiers were shot, and the two hundred sharp soldiers on the opposite side rushed out, and their subordinates were defeated and difficult to resist.

"Shame on you!"

Looking at the people who were scattered by the two hundred people, Huang Jie was ashamed and ashamed. How could these two hundred people be so brave, and their subordinates were completely inferior to their opponents.

In today's battle, I lost all my face, and what excuse could I find to explain myself.

When he was timid and wanted to retreat, the scouts sent by Huo Jun came to his side.

"General, my family joined the army and wanted to suppress the general, but unexpectedly got lost and walked to the south gate. Today, I learned that the general launched an attack at the north gate, and he had led a large army to attack the south gate, that is, Kechengchi. I hope that the general can attack the north gate, and the same is Huangjiang Xia to break the city. The scout said truthfully.

"What?"

The sudden news really made Huang Jie turn sad into joy, he didn't expect that Huo Jun, who stayed in the camp, would send troops and appear on the battlefield at the right time, but this is too opportune!

"Could it be that Zhong Miao could have expected today's events? But how could he have expected my defeat. But it's too much of a coincidence that he's lost! ”

Looking at the soldiers who were killed by Qin Song and retreated timidly, Huang Jie didn't think much about it, drew his sword and shouted: "Where is the elite?" Pressed and broke the two hundred men and seized the city of Chaisang. ”

"No!"

Grandfather Huang has been governing the army for so many years, although the combat effectiveness of the army is not strong, but they have cultivated a group of elite troops, just like the family members of the Ming Dynasty in later generations. Battles can be lost, but they can't be killed or wounded.

This is also why Huo Jun emphasized in his words that he was taking Chaisang for Huang Zu, because he knew that Huang Archer had a core unit of hundreds of people in his hands, and today's war was stuck at this node, if Huang Archer couldn't make a difference, who knew what the result would be.

For the sake of their Huang clan's Chaisang, Huang Jian can't go on like this, sending those miscellaneous soldiers to fight against the Chaisang army will ruin the plan.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by the rousing drums, Huang Jie sent out the part that pressed the bottom of the box. Those Huang clansmen, dressed in armor, with strong physiques, sharp blades at their waists, and spears in their hands, although the number of them is not many, it can be seen to the naked eye that they are by no means idle people in the Jiangxia army.

In the sound of war drums, they became entangled with the two hundred people led by Qin Song. It is worthy of being a subordinate under the Huang clan, which effectively curbed the offensive of Chaisang's soldiers. The blades of the two sides exchanged blades, viscous blood soared, and blood-boiling screams came and went.

When Xu Sheng asked Qin and Song to withdraw their troops back to the city, they were already entangled in the Huang clan and it was difficult to retreat. At the same time, under the cover of the crossbowmen at the head of the city, there were back and forth with Jiangxia.

At the same time, Huang Jie also rode up, wielding a knife to kill several fleeing soldiers, plucking up his courage and shouting: "Chen Da, if you can't take military discipline seriously and can't take Chai Sang, this knife will behead you." ”

Seeing Huang Jie's rare anger, Chen Da's body tightened, and he didn't dare to relax, but he knew that Huang's grandfather and son valued Chai Sang, so he turned around and took his own troops, scolded and blocked those fleeing soldiers, ordered them to line up in a military formation, and let them step forward to capture the city again.

However, just when the north city fell into a fierce battle, suddenly the 'Xu' flag on the north city tower was cut off, followed by the 'Huo' word flag, Gao Chen on the city tower led the soldiers, and shouted loudly: "General, we have taken down Chaisang City, and I specially invite the general to enter the city." ”

This scene directly stunned the two sides who were fighting in the north of the city, especially Qin and Song and their two hundred troops. He was still fighting bravely, and suddenly told his home that someone had stolen it.

Outside the north gate, the Chaisang soldiers who were still fighting just now suddenly lost their fighting spirit, and some of them had already knelt down in despair, or begged to surrender to their opponents, and they lost the meaning of perseverance.

Huang Jie, who was having a headache for the war, was first surprised by it, then laughed, and said to everyone: "Fortunately, Zhong Miao is the one who holds back the strong enemy, otherwise he will get lost to the south gate of Chaisang, and his thousands of people will be defeated by the enemy!" ”

As he spoke, Huang Chaisang rode up and shouted, "Chaisang has been taken by us, and he still doesn't surrender?" ”

Obviously, Huang Jian aimed at Chaisang's two hundred sharp soldiers and wanted to be incorporated into his account and act as the backbone of his account.

In fact, it was not only Huang Jie who did this, after subduing the North and South Gates, Huo Jun also asked his subordinates to recruit Chai Sang's soldiers, preparing to recruit the elite into his command after the war.

On the city tower, Huo Jun saw that the situation in the north of the city was improving, and ordered: "Yaohui will lead fifty people to guard the north gate and welcome Huang Biao into the city." ”

"No!"

"The battle at Ximen is still not over, tell the captain and the other two to see if they can capture Xu Sheng."

"No!"

As he spoke, Huo Jun held the long sword in his hand and commanded: "The rest of the people will follow me to the government and block the warehouse to prevent the loss of money, grain, and weapons." ”

"No!"

With the seizure of the inside and outside of Chaisang City, not only the battle at the north gate gradually ended, but also the battle at the west gate came to an end. For example, Xu Sheng, who was trying to recapture Xicheng, was attacked by Huo Du and Gao Xiang from both sides, and led the crowd to nest in the corner and resisted stubbornly.

"Xu Sheng, Chaisang has been taken by us, you don't surrender quickly." Gao Xiang was on the periphery and shouted loudly.

Xu Sheng waved his spear to remove the thorn weapon, and shouted: "The Lu of the Eater, who was ordered to defend the city, should guard the land for the Lord, how can he easily surrender." If you have the guts, you can fight Sheng for dozens of rounds. ”

Gao Xiang covered the wound on his shoulder, scolded a few words in his mouth, and said the courage of the horseman. Obviously, Gao Xiang fought against Xu Sheng, Gao Xiang's strength was a few points inferior, and he was stabbed in the shoulder.

Seeing that Xu Sheng was still unwilling to surrender easily, Huo Du was not polite, and rushed forward with a spear and a spear, and a spear pierced the Chai Sang soldier holding the shield, and the bright red spearhead burst out of the abdomen. The wounded soldier was in a trance a few times and rolled to the ground covered in blood.

The shield wall was broken, and the soldiers on both sides fought together, and under the disparity between the outnumbered, the victory and defeat were divided. Faced with a desperate situation, more and more Chaisan soldiers surrendered.

Xu Sheng fought alone, although he had an arrow stuck in his back, and blood gushed out from the wound on his back, but he was still not afraid. Exhausted, he kept using the spear in his hand to block the spear, but his hand speed became slower and slower.

Suddenly, Huo Yuan waved the spear in his hand, and a spear stabbed Xu Sheng's thigh, poking a big hole. Xu Sheng screamed in pain, and several soldiers took the opportunity to stab Xu Sheng's hands and legs with spears, and then knocked him down with spear shafts.

Xu Sheng, who overturned and fell to the ground, was thrown into chaos, and when he woke up, he saw that the general trend had gone, sighed, and said to himself: "The thief army is endless, and the strength is exhausted!" ”

After speaking, Xu Sheng also lost the spiritual pillar of sticking to the battle, gave up the struggle, and let the soldiers capture him, and did not resist. In his opinion, he has fought to this point and is worthy of Sun Quan, but it is a pity that the enemy is cunning.

On Gao Xiang's side, the soldiers saw that Xu Sheng was captured, so they relieved themselves and said, "The master of the family, I first climbed the city today, and I had a meritorious role in capturing Xu Sheng with Captain Huo." If you join the army, you must have a credit to the head of the family. ”

Gao Xiang ignored the soldier, looked at the wound on his shoulder, and cursed in a low voice.

Another pro-soldier said: "Xu Sheng has killed an unknown number of brothers, if he can be killed, he can also avenge those brothers." I'm afraid that this Xu Sheng will be obedient, and my brothers and I can't find anyone to take revenge for their lives. ”

"Shut up!" Gao Xiang scolded and said: "The two armies are fighting for their own masters, if they think of the old enmity and will never be killed, who will dare to surrender at that time?" The sooner the fighting ended, the fewer casualties there were. ”

Gao Xiang has been the leader of the family, so he naturally knows the twists, but in this troubled world, no one can say what will happen to him tomorrow, and talking about interests is what a leader should do.

"Dare to ask if the strategy of breaking Chaisang is what General Huang Bi said?" Xu Sheng, who was captured, was unwilling and asked.

"What's wrong?" Gao Xiang walked over and said, "How could this strategy be made by General Huang Bi, but the bureau set up by my family to join the army." ”

"Join the army?" Xu Sheng's face was dazed.

Seeing this, Huo Du and Gao Xiang looked at each other and smiled.
