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

Chapter 117 Kill! (You can start killing now, please subscribe!)

In the evening, Liu Ming saw a dejected Gai Xun in Pinggao County. His face was covered with traces of smoke and even his beard was burned.

Fortunately, Zhang Liao and Cao Cao arrived in time, and after a fight they repelled the Baibo army who came to rob the grain. However, only half of the grain and grass that Gai Xun escorted was left.

Some of the other half were destroyed in the robbery, and some were burned by a fire.

"I hope your Majesty will punish you for your poor performance in transporting grain and fodder." Gai Xun knelt down and said with a frustrated look on his face.

Gai Xun is also a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time. He didn't expect to be robbed by a wave of thieves. He felt extremely aggrieved. However, losing military rations and grass was no joke. He might lose his head if he didn't do it.

"What's going on?" Liu Ming asked calmly.

"Wei Chen was escorting grain and grass across the river. Just halfway across, suddenly a white wave of thieves rushed over." Gai Xun explained, "Wei Chen hurriedly commanded the soldiers to cross the river to protect the grain and grass. Fortunately, His Majesty had the foresight to stay behind. The lower part of the soldiers and horses guarded the pontoon, and then they were able to hold off the Baibo bandits for a while.

"Wei Chen commanded the soldiers to fight in a last-ditch battle. Unfortunately, these soldiers were small and alone. Moreover, these soldiers had not trained together for a long time and lacked combat experience. Therefore, the Baibo thieves came to kill them and burned half of the food and grass. Fortunately, Meng De and Wen Yuan were there. A school captain arrived and rescued Wei Chen."

After Gai Xun finished speaking, he lowered his head and remained silent, waiting for the emperor's anger.

"These stupid thieves are holding on to someone halfway across the river and trying not to let go, right?" Liu Ming looked at Cao Cao and Zhang Liao.

When Xu Huang heard this, he quietly lowered his head, because it was he who gave Yang Feng the idea of ​​a half-crossing attack.

Unexpectedly, this strategy was used by Han Siam to rob military rations.

Cao Cao was good at observing people's words and said hurriedly: "When General Mo and Wen Yuan arrived, Yuan Gu (Gai Xun) was fighting to the death with the Bai Bo bandits, guarding the grain and grass. This is a lesson from his loyalty. I hope your majesty will be dealt with lightly."

"Yin Gai is loyal to his duties, but there are too many traitors and he is outnumbered. I hope your Majesty will be given a lighter punishment." Zhang Liao also said.

Gai Xun was also an experienced general. He served as the captain of Tuulu and Jing Zhaoyin. He was an upright man, so he was very popular. Liu Biao and others also asked for mercy.

Liu Mingxu let out a breath and said in a deep voice: "I should have been severely punished for the failure of escorting the army rations, but because of your loyalty and bravery and the intercession of all the ministers, I will give you a lighter sentence and fine you half a year's salary. I promise you will make meritorious service if you do it again." If there is any mistake, we should all be held accountable!"

"Thank you for your grace!" Gai Xun thanked him hurriedly, feeling very grateful in his heart.

At this moment, a detective horse suddenly came to report, "Report - Urgent report from Huai County, Zhu Jun and Lu Bu defeated the Baibo Army, and the siege of Huai County has been lifted!"

When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed and praised Lu Bu secretly in their hearts.

"Fengxian's bravery is rare in the world." Xu Huang admired sincerely.

He had fought against Lu Bu, and he had a personal experience of how powerful Lu Bu was. He could only go ten rounds under him, and then he was on the verge of collapse.

That overwhelming offensive was despairing.

"Yes, without Lu Fengxian's leadership, the Yueqi Camp would not have been able to produce such a powerful effect." Liu Biao also praised that the Yueqi Camp was under his command, so he knew best about its combat power.

The combat power of the Yueqi Battalion is indeed not bad, but it is not strong enough to defeat 10,000 people with 1,500 people. However, under the leadership of Lu Bu, they did it. This simply cannot be done with normal military thinking. judge.

People were praising Lu Bu and automatically ignored Zhu Jun, because everyone knew that when it came to commanding and training troops, Zhu Jun still had two skills, but when it came to fighting on the battlefield, he was far behind. After all, he was old. Already tall, old people no longer rely on their muscles and bones for energy.

"If the imperial court had more powerful generals like Fengxian, why worry about the uncertainty of the world?" Liu Ming also sighed.

At this moment, another scout ran in hurriedly, out of breath, and said: "Your Majesty, something bad has happened. Countless Black Mountain bandits have poured into Hanoi and have now surrounded Huai County!"

what! ?

Everyone was shocked by this turn of events.

Lu Bu had just defeated the Baibo bandits when he was besieged by the Black Mountain bandits.

"How many troops are there in the Black Mountain Bandits?" Liu Ming asked.

"There are too many people, all over the mountains and plains." Tan Ma said with lingering fear, "When I returned from my humble post to report the news, the Black Mountain bandits were still pouring into Huai County. It must be at least 30,000 people."

Everyone's heart sank.

Although Lu Bu is brave and Zhu Jun is wise, the Yueqi camp only has 1,500 people, and they are not good at defending the city. The key is that the difference in numbers between the enemy and us is really too big.

Even if there are some remaining county soldiers in the county, I think there won't be many left.

Standing behind Zhang Liao's eyes, I turned around and said: "It seems that the black mountain thief and the white wave thief are already angry, and the thief soldiers are strong. Humans are not really a threat." Liu Ming said with a smile, "These thieves came out in large numbers when they heard that I was going to fight personally. They treated me like Tang Monk's flesh."

"Candy and raw meat?" Qi Yue asked doubtfully. Everyone else also looked confused.

"Ah... this raw meat with sugar is just meat porridge with sugar added." Liu Ming realized that he had let the slip, and hurriedly came back and said, "These gangs of rebels want to capture me and command the world, how can it be so easy? I'm sure Let them never come back!"

Liu Ming patted the cases in front of him and stood up. Infected by his momentum, everyone stood up one after another, full of fighting spirit.

In fact, there are not many soldiers and horses in Pinggao City at present. Excluding the Yueqi battalion brought by Lu Bu and the grain escort soldiers brought by Gai Xun, there are as many as more than 23,000 people.

In addition, Bai Bo, commanded by Xu Huang, had 4,000 soldiers.

At that time, Pinggao City was captured by a sneak attack in the middle of the night, so there was no large-scale organized fighting. The Baibo thieves who had no time to escape from the city were all taken prisoner. The old, weak, sick and disabled were eliminated, and a group of die-hard elements were eliminated. There are enough four thousand strong soldiers to surrender.

After giving them a full meal and putting on warm cotton clothes, they immediately felt the warmth of returning to the imperial court. They had transformed from rebels to officers and soldiers, although they still needed to hone themselves if they wanted to become a strong soldier. , but at least it can be regarded as a strong boost.

"Your Majesty, I am requesting an order to relieve the siege of Huai County and make meritorious deeds!" Gai Xun said, cupping his fists.

At this time, Xu Huang came out of the queue, cupped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead Bai Bo's soldiers to rescue the siege and perform meritorious service to show my loyalty."

"Okay, the morale of the army is available!" When Liu Ming saw that the generals wanted to fight, he took advantage of the situation to send troops, picked up the command arrow, and said: "I want to divide the troops into three groups to relieve the siege of Huai County. Gai Xun will lead three thousand people and attack from the north. , Xu Huang led 3,000 men to attack from the south, Cao Cao led 3,000 men to attack from the center, make food at the fourth watch, and set off at the fifth watch, we must break the siege of Huai County!"

"Got the order!" The three of them took the order in hand, turned around and went out to deploy.

To say how outstanding Liu Ming's talent in military command is, it's not even close to the mark. He has never received training in this area, whether in his previous life or this life.

It is impossible to be like Zhuge Liang in the novel, where to attack, where to ambush, which way to attack, which way to feign attack, all planned in detail in advance, like a monster.

But in the face of 30,000 bandits besieging the city, I sent 9,000 people, all led by generals who were accustomed to fighting. They attacked in three directions, and cooperated with Lu Bu and others in the encirclement. It was not difficult to rescue the siege, and even They are all a bit overkill.

Forced by his status as a stand-in, Liu Ming did not dare to keep too smart think tanks around him, but in a real combat scenario like a confrontation between two armies, he still felt that if there was someone around to give advice, he would definitely be able to Avoid many detours.

It's better than having to make up your own mind about everything. This is still a relatively simple confrontation. If it is a complex battle situation that is changing rapidly, you will not be able to control it by yourself.

Fortunately, both Zhu Jun and Gai Xun are relatively experienced in combat, so Liu Ming can listen to their advice when he is unsure.

Cao Cao is also a bit young. Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, and Lu Bu can only be used to move forward. Liu Biao can command the archers from behind, but letting him charge into the battle or make plans is a bit unreliable.

"Sirs, as soon as we entered Hanoi, we were robbed by thieves and lost our military supplies. It is a great shame and humiliation!" Gai Xun summoned the generals to mobilize in his military camp. "Your Majesty was merciful and did not hold us accountable, but we ourselves cannot be shameless. !

"Now it's time to wipe out the shame and prove our strength. Tomorrow we will make food at the fourth watch and set off at the fifth watch to relieve the siege of Huai County. You must move forward bravely, kill the enemy and make meritorious service. Don't embarrass yourself in front of your majesty again. If you can Can’t do it?!”

"Yes!" All the soldiers responded in unison.

A similar scene is taking place in Xu Huang's camp.

"Brothers, now we are no longer bandits, but officers and soldiers who protect the country and the people." Xu Huang said loudly, "Our food and clothing are all given by your majesty. We can only fight bravely to kill the enemy." Repay the emperor’s favor!”

"Xu Sima, does your Majesty want us to go back and fight the other Bai Bo brothers?" Liu Shi, the commander of the village, said with some worry.

Liu Shi played a great role in the attack on Pinggao and was named the commander of the village.

"No!" Xu Huang said firmly, "Li Le is incompetent. The Baibo army in Huai County has long been defeated by the army. We are going to Huai County to attack the Black Mountain bandits. Those of us who come out of the Baibo Valley may not be better than those who come down from the Black Mountain." We are weak, no one has more eggs than anyone else, we can’t live in vain, we should all follow this Sima, and we will kill them all!”

"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!"

The crowd was excited for a while.

This is bound to be a tense and sleepless night.

Pinggao City is preparing nervously, and Huai County is naturally not resting either, especially Lu Bu, who is very active and loves fighting, and it is impossible to wait for the thieves to attack the next day.

"Hehe, in this world, only Lu fights against others, and no one else fights against Lu!"

That night, Lu Bu selected five hundred elite cavalry and quietly arrived in front of the Black Mountain bandit camp. He saw that the gate of the camp was poorly guarded.

The cold wind was biting at night, and the sentries hid behind the stockade fence and shivered from the cold. Some of them huddled together around the fire to warm themselves.

Lu Bu, who had been in the border army for a long time, curled his lips and dismissed this, raised his halberd into the air, and shouted loudly: "Kill!"
