The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 277 The Huns Retreat

Xihe County, Lishi City.

Xu Bu Gudu waited to walk into the big tent with a face full of frost, the Yellow Turban Army had already marched towards Lishi City.

If Xubu Guduhou didn't resist anymore, the Yellow Turban Army would approach the city in a short time.

There are still several passes in Pingzhou City that have been captured by the Yellow Turban Army, and the soldiers guarding them are the prestigious military camps of the Yellow Turban Army. What was left to the Huns above was horrible memories, and those soldiers seemed not afraid of death at all.

And the cavalry unit called the Xiaoqi Battalion has as many as [-] cavalry. In the last battle in the wilderness, Xu Buguduhou's tribe suffered heavy casualties, and it was impossible to resist so many elite cavalry.

The cavalry of the Han people are well-armored, and their bow skills are not even inferior to the ordinary Huns, and they can lead most of the Huns cavalry with their excellent bows and arrows.

The Xiongnu cavalry and the Han cavalry were at a complete disadvantage.

The scouts and harassing troops that Xubu Guhou sent out before confirmed a point to Xu Buguhou.

The newly established Xiaoqi Battalion of the Yellow Turban Army was formerly the original cavalry trilogy of the Han Army. Although Xu Bu Guhou now summoned the Huns from the north to go south, they would definitely be able to defeat the Xiaoqi Battalion of the Yellow Turban Army.

But the Xiongnu tribe is not monolithic. The Xiongnu elite cavalry led by Yu Fuluo is still in Hedong County, and the old Shanyu in the north is only imprisoned.

If a large number of troops are lost in Bingzhou again, I am afraid that Xubuguduhou will be at a disadvantage in the battle for Shanyu's position.

"Can I just give up the meat that is about to reach my mouth!"

Xu Bu Guhou hammered the utensils in the tent angrily, the poor performance of Xiu Tu Gehu who attacked Yanmen County almost made Xu Bu Guhou feel furious.

If they were able to break through Yanmen County, and Bingzhou had long been turned into a ranch for the Huns, how could the Han people come here again!

Hearing the clanging, clanging, clanging and cursing in the tent, none of the guards outside the tent, and the leaders of the tribe dared to enter the tent at this time to touch Xubu. The bone is waiting for the moldy head.

After a long time, the movement in the big tent finally quieted down.

The curtain was lifted from the inside, but the face was still covered with frost.

The leaders of the various tribes and the officers of the Xiongnu waiting outside the tent all lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at Xu Bu Gu Du Hou.

"Where is the Han army?"

Since Xu Buguduhou asked the question, he had no choice but to stop talking. The Xiongnu commander in charge of reconnaissance bite the bullet and said: "The day before yesterday, the soldiers from Xihe County from Puzi City in the south had joined the Xiaoqi Battalion of the Yellow Turban Army in Zhongyang. We meet at twenty miles south of the city, and now the two sides are besieging Zhongyang."

"We only have more than [-] people in Zhongyang City, and we may only be able to resist for a few more days..."

Xu Bu Guduhou's face became more and more gloomy.

"Withdraw the army."

Xu Bu Gudu turned around and walked into the tent, leaving only a cold sentence behind.

"Break camp immediately, take all the things and leave Xihe County. Since we can't get the things in Xihe County, we can't leave them to the Han people!"

Outside the tent, all the leaders of the Xiongnu looked at each other in blank dismay.

……

Under Zhongyang City, a large number of Yellow Turban soldiers pushed forward with fast-stepping ladders, or used shields, or leaned against the protection of the ladders, and rushed towards the city wall of Zhongyang City.

There is a mound that has already been built up to half the height of the city wall. In a few days, the Yellow Turban Army outside the city will be able to step over the mound and drive straight into Zhongyang City.

But Zhongyang City, which would shoot countless arrows every time the Yellow Turban Army attacked, was strangely silent.

The Yellow Turban Army was also a little panicked for a while. Unknown things always make people feel afraid, until on the ladder frame, a soldier of the Yellow Turban Army climbed to the top of Zhongyang City, and saw the empty city wall. Only then did the army discover that the Huns in Zhongyang City had all withdrawn.

Countless khaki-colored banners fluttered above Zhongyang City.

Lu Bu took Xiaoqi Battalion into Zhongyang City.

The prosperous Zhongyang City in the past has now become a dead and silent ruin. There is no living person anymore. There are fires everywhere, ruined walls everywhere, and an unpleasant smell of corruption in the air.

The faces of most of the knights following Lu Bu became extremely stern, and their eyes even turned slightly red.

And those soldiers from Xihe County were even more difficult to restrain. Many soldiers were crying and shouting on the ruins, desperately grabbing pieces of wood in the ruins, and shouting the names of their loved ones.

But several months have passed, how can their relatives survive, the outcome is determined to be irreversible.

Lu Bu did not restrain these soldiers who originally belonged to Xihe County, he left the Xiaoqi Battalion outside the city to guard, and let these soldiers of Xihe County vent their emotions.

On the second day, when the soldiers from Xihe County rejoined the army, their aura had completely changed.

It was no longer murderous, but quiet. Whether it was on the march or when they were resting, the barracks of Xihe County soldiers were surprisingly quiet.

When Lu Bu gave orders to the generals of the Xihe County Army, those generals seemed to have forgotten the function of language, and just obeyed numbly.

Lu Bu did not punish him for this, he could understand the state of mind of these soldiers.

When they were forced to leave their homes when they were young, those refugees whose families all died under the sword of the Huns were like the soldiers of Xihe County today.

……

Zhongping four years, at the end of July.
Three days after Zhongyang City was breached, the Yellow Turban Army set up camp outside Lishi City, and Lishi City could no longer move in.

This once the most prosperous city in Xihe County has now become a sea of ​​flames, and the Huns who were evacuated from Lishi City were burned.

The raging fire was reflected in the eyes of the soldiers of Xihe County, in the eyes of all the cavalrymen of the Xiaoqi Battalion, and in the eyes of Lu Bu.

The fire that ignited in his own house when he was young and the fire in Lishi City gradually merged in Lu Bu's eyes.

Everyone knew that the current Huns might have already fled north, and it would be useless to pursue them any further.

"Northern prisoner..."

Lu Bu held the rein tightly and stared at the north.

……

The Huns withdrew their troops, Guo Tai led his troops northward to occupy the ferry near the Yellow River in Xihe County, and Lu Bu continued northward with the Xiaoqi Battalion and the Military Soldiers Battalion. They wanted to rebuild the pass destroyed by the Huns.

The fire in Lishi City had also subsided, and the soldiers of Xihe County did not move on. They stayed in Lishi City like walking corpses.

Almost everything they cherished was destroyed in the flames of war and in the hands of the Huns.
