Three Kingdoms: I will act as a substitute for the Hunjun

Chapter 114 Strange horn sound

However, Baibo Army general Li Le led more than 10,000 troops to attack Zhihuai County, Hanoi County, but failed to attack for several days.

Just because the person guarding the city was Fang Yue, the captain of Hanoi County.

Although Fang Yue is still young, he is already a famous general in Hanoi. He can appear and disappear with his point steel spear. He can be said to be an invincible opponent in Hanoi.

However, due to the disparity in strength and the sudden arrival of Baibo's army, facing the siege of Li Le's army, they could only defend Huai County and were unable to counterattack.

Li Le was also secretly worried. Although there were only 3,000 people in the city, tens of thousands of him attacked day and night, but he couldn't defeat it. This was the first time since the Baibo Valley uprising that he had encountered such a hard nut to crack.

The key is that the weather is getting colder day by day. If we can't take this city anymore, what will they eat?

In fact, Fang Yue was at the end of his strength at this moment. The food, grass and arrows in the city were about to be exhausted. He tore down all the beams of the common people's houses near the city wall and used them as rolling logs to defend against the enemy, but they were all used up.

"I'm afraid it will be over if we don't come to rescue the troops." Fang Yue looked towards the direction of Luoyang on the other side of the Yellow River and murmured to himself, his heart filled with infinite sadness.

I looked back at the panic-stricken and disheveled people in the city, and I felt very unhappy - it was my fault as a county captain for not protecting the people here.

The Baibo Army slowly gathered outside the city, and another attack on the city was brewing. For them, the county seat is definitely a relatively wealthy place. Whether they can have a good winter depends on whether they can capture Huai County.

Li Le wiped his cracked lips, pointed his sword forward, and said loudly: "Brothers, charge, success or failure depends on this. After the city is broken, the women, food, and money in the city can be used as you like." !”

"Kill!" Bai Bojun picked up the siege ladder and rushed towards the Huai County wall like a tide, as if he had been beaten to death.

Fang Yue smiled bitterly, I'm afraid this was his last shudder. Fang was also considered a famous general in Hanoi, and he wanted to die vigorously and make his name famous all over the world. He immediately summoned up his courage, raised his iron gun into the air, and shouted loudly: "People are in the city, the city is there." The dead must die, and thieves must not be allowed to destroy Huaicheng.”

Surrounding him were all the elite confidants who had been following him for the past few years, and they all showed determination at this moment.

"I swear to live and die with the county!"

"Fight to the death and never retreat!"

Seeing that the Baibo bandits were about to rush to the city, a soldier suddenly shouted: "Captain, please look!"

Fang Yue looked forward along the finger of the soldier and saw a black line appearing on the horizon, moving quickly this way.

Then the rumble of horse hooves came, and the sound became clearer and clearer. They seemed to be able to feel the tremor of the earth on the city wall.

"It seems to be cavalry!" the soldier said doubtfully, "I don't know if it is an enemy or a friend. If it is the reinforcements of the Baibo bandits, then we will definitely die."

"The Baibo Army has no cavalry." Fang Yue said solemnly, "However, it is said that they are colluding with the Southern Xiongnu."

As soon as these words were spoken, the mood of all the sergeants fell to the bottom.

The Baibo army who were preparing to attack the city clearly felt this sudden shock, and they all stopped and turned around to take a look.

Li Le frowned slightly, a bad premonition welling up in his heart.

He knew that the emperor's imperial commander personally conquered Hanoi, and of course he also knew that Yang Feng and Han Xian were going to set up an ambush by the Yellow River and attack the dog emperor halfway across the river.

But why did a cavalry suddenly run out here? The Baibo Army itself does not have such rich equipment.

Could it be that Chief Guo Tai heard that our march was not going well and sent the Huns cavalry to help?

In a difficult situation, everyone hopes that the accident will be a surprise rather than an unexpected change.

He directly ruled out the possibility of the emperor repelling Yang and Han. As for the emperor capturing a county, that was even more impossible. There were more than 60,000 Bai Bo troops entering Hanoi. How could they be defeated so quickly? ?

However, as the cavalry got closer and the fluttering flags came into view, Li Le finally saw it clearly.

"They are reinforcements from the Dog Emperor. There are not many of them, so divide your troops quickly to stop them!" Li Le shouted, and asked his two subordinates to send 3,000 men to stop the cavalry.

Seeing that such a rich city was about to be obtained, Li Le was naturally unwilling to give up.

However, the cold reality gave him a blow. Before his subordinates could organize the three thousand infantry, Lu Bu rushed forward with his cavalry.

Like a javelin piercing the wheat stack, there is no obstacle.

The tip of the javelin was Lu Bu. Fang Tian's halberd flashed with cold light, his red cloak fluttering, and he broke into the Baibo army's camp directly.

Under the dancing halberd, heads rolled and stumps flew around. The inferior weapons in the hands of the Baibo Army were almost broken at a touch, and no one could block his edge.

They rushed over like breaking waves, and the waves were the corpses of the Baibo Army. Some were lifted high into the sky, and some were killed on the spot.

The Yueqi battalion came like a strong wind sweeping away fallen leaves, destroying all obstacles on the way forward. The battlefield instantly turned into a bloody slaughter field.

"It's the official army, hahahaha... the reinforcements have finally arrived!" On top of the city, Fang Yue saw clearly the flags of the cavalry led by Zhu Jun and Lu Bu, and was overjoyed and laughed.

The defenders seemed to have finally seen a glimmer of light in the dark night. They were all dancing with excitement. One of his close followers hugged Fang Yue and almost threw him into the city.

"Don't go crazy!" Fang Yue shouted loudly, "Quickly rectify your troops and horses, follow Fang Mou out of the city, cooperate inside and outside, kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds!" Only then did all the officers and men come to their senses, and went down to the city one after another, organizing Shang Zi to fight in the field A team of about a thousand people opened the city gate and rushed out.

After leaving the city, I was shocked by the scene in front of me——

Although there were only more than 1,500 cavalrymen, they were all full of vigor and vitality. They broke into the Baibo Army and started killing, as if they were in an uninhabited land. He rushed to the city gate in the blink of an eye.

When Lu Bu arrived at the city, he saw a general carrying a steel gun, leading more than a thousand county soldiers with crooked armor. He was in a daze here. He was angry and funny at the same time. He shouted loudly: "What are you doing standing still? Hurry and kill." Enemy!"

Only then did Fang Yue react, cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, General, for the rescue!"

Then he raised his big gun into the air and shouted: "Brothers, the time for revenge has come, kill!"

He led a thousand county soldiers and rushed over, killing everyone on sight, which was extremely brave.

Although these county soldiers were very tired, now that they had reinforcements, they could finally let go of the bad breath they had been holding back for the past few days, so they regained their morale and chased after Bai Bo's remnant army to kill them.

To be honest, Li Le had never faced off against the cavalry since the uprising, so this time he was stunned.

what happened? What happened?

The other party obviously has less than 2,000 people, but this general has 10,000 people!

He soon discovered a fact that caused him great pain: the White Wave Army simply could not stop this cavalry!

"Quickly retreat! We don't want this Dog City anymore!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Le shouted, turned around and ran away.

The Baibo army was immediately defeated and retreated like a tide.

But they are infantry after all, and two legs can't outrun four legs. Lu Bu and his cavalry were like herds of sheep, chasing and killing them indiscriminately, it was simply a one-sided massacre.

The Baibo army has been attacking the city continuously in the past few days, and it is also a tired army. How can it stop Lu Bu and the Yueqi battalion cavalry? Let alone resist, you can't even escape.

Zhu Jun also let out a sigh of relief. He felt that he still underestimated Lu Bu. This wind-like man paired with a powerful cavalry was simply a life harvester on the battlefield.

Zhu Jun was already old and could not ride a horse to kill like Lu Bu, so he was welcomed into the city by the officials left behind in Huai County. He climbed to the top of the city and looked down at the battlefield, feeling relaxed and happy.

With such brave generals and elite soldiers, it would be difficult for them to rebel against thieves easily.

Of course, what's more important is that His Majesty the Emperor has begun to show signs of diligence. They have always felt that His Majesty is actually quite smart, but they have never used his intelligence in serious ways.

Once he gets serious and focuses on government affairs and even military affairs, it will not be a dream for the Han Dynasty to revive again.

As veterans of the court, in the past few years, there was not a day when they did not hope that the emperor would be diligent in political affairs. However, Emperor Ling had always been obsessed with drinking and having fun. Under the control of the ten permanent servants, the government was in a state of chaos, and the national power was declining day by day.

But now His Majesty, he finally cheered up. It also gave him hope.

While I was sighing, I suddenly heard the sound of what seemed like a horn.

The battlefield was relatively chaotic, and Zhu Jun didn't show any concern at first, but the sound of the trumpets became clearer and clearer. Zhu Jun looked northward and saw large black spots that seemed to be moving quickly on the distant hillside.

If His Majesty's telescope was here, he would definitely be able to see clearly what is on the hillside, is it a human or a cow or a sheep?

No, how can one blow the horn while tending cattle and sheep?

Zhu Jun, who has been tested for a long time in battle formations, immediately felt something was wrong, "Give me the order to retreat the troops!"

"Your Majesty, our army is taking advantage of the victory to pursue..." an official wanted to dissuade.

Zhu Jun glared and shouted: "Ming Jin retreats his troops! Send an order to Lu Bu to camp outside the city to prevent enemy attacks!"

He has been in command of the army for a long time, so he is accustomed to issuing orders.

In an instant, the sound of ringing gold resounded one after another on the battlefield.

Advance when you hear the drum and retreat when you hear the gold. These are the most basic military orders on the battlefield.

Lu Bu was in the mood to fight, and suddenly heard Ming Jin's order to retreat. He couldn't help being surprised, but he had no choice but to gather his troops and move closer to the county seat.

This was a messenger who rushed over and said: "Reporting to Lieutenant Lu, Shijun Zhu has an order. Lieutenant Lu will lead his cavalry to camp outside the city to prevent enemy attacks!"

Zhu Jun sent an order?

Lu Bu felt unhappy.

It’s okay for you to hold the line for me, and it’s okay for you to retreat with your troops, but what qualifications do you have to give me orders? Even if you have more white hair, you are just a prefect, and I, Lu Bu, am His Majesty's favorite general, how can I be manipulated by you?

Just as he was feeling unhappy, Lu Bu also heard the increasingly clear horn calls. When he looked back, he couldn't help but be surprised.
