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

The brutal siege began again.

The thieves rushed up in waves like a rising tide, and receded in waves like an ebbing tide.

Zhang Yan and Mrs. Guo saw the muscles on their faces twitching.

"General Xu, this is a feint attack. There is no need to work so hard." Mrs. Guo couldn't help but say.

"If you don't work hard, the officers and soldiers will naturally see that it's a feint attack." Xu Rong snorted disdainfully, "If our intentions are seen, then why are we bothering?"

Mrs. Guo and Zhang Yan looked at each other, unable to refute. They felt that what Xu Rong said made sense.

But it seemed a pity to waste the brothers' lives on a feint.

Xu Rong naturally saw the worries of the two leaders. After all, the cognitive priorities of those in the world and those of the government were different.

He comforted him and said: "You also know that you cannot tell the soldiers about feinting attacks. It means that they will not be effective in the attack and will only deal with the errands. They will be seen by the officers and soldiers at once. Zhu Jun is old and cunning and cannot be exposed." If there is a flaw, the worst thing is not to send a supervising team."

The two of them had no choice but to nod helplessly.

Zhang Yan secretly thought to herself that it would be really uncomfortable to leave her soldiers and horses to someone else's command. Xu Rong was so strong, I'm afraid Dong Zhuo was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

In the future, if Dong Zhuo establishes a firm foothold and the Montenegrin Army surrenders to his command, it will probably not be much better.

These days, it is better to rely on yourself than to rely on anyone else. In the future, you will still have to control this army yourself.

On top of the city of Huai County, Zhu Jun looked at the rebel soldiers who were retreating again, and murmured: "The rebel soldiers seem to have a strong offensive, but they are much weaker than yesterday, and they lack the fearlessness of death. momentum."

"It doesn't look like a feint," Han Hao said.

"Hold on for a while, you still can't see it now." Zhu Jun said patiently, "May I ask, how is the progress on Fang Yue's side?"

Soon some soldiers went down to inspect and came back to report, "Qi Da Sikong is organizing the village warriors to dig trenches, first under the city wall where the thieves are directly facing."

"Did you hear any unusual noises in the ditch?" Han Hao couldn't help but ask.

"The sound of the battle was so noisy that the people in the ditch had to shout loudly when talking, but I didn't hear anything unusual." the soldier replied.

"Well, tell Fang Yue to save your energy and just dig under the wall in front." Zhu Jun ordered.

The soldier turned around again and went down.

The siege continued until the sun turned west.

Even during lunch, Zhu Jun took two bites of noodles while directing the battle.

The thieves continued to attack, but the attacking team also changed in the middle.

Compared to yesterday, the losses suffered by both sides today were much smaller. On the one hand, the thieves' attacks were not as fierce as yesterday, and their tactics were not about climbing up the city desperately.

There was a period of time in which there was a shooting exchange on the city top. Although the bandits suffered a great loss, under the protection of the wooden planks, the casualties were not too great.

As for the soldiers who defended the city, the thieves did not break into the city at all. They were just injured when they shot each other with bows and arrows.

There were less than 200 casualties in the battle for most of the day. For the brutal siege, this casualty was almost negligible.

However, it is obvious that both sides are showing signs of fatigue.

"what--"

Suddenly, there was an exclamation in the city, with surprise, surprise, and even a hint of panic in the voice.

"What happened?" Zhu Jun hurriedly lay on the inner battlement, looked down, and asked loudly.

"Da Sikong, the water in the ditch is falling rapidly!" Fang Yue shouted excitedly from below, "I'm afraid a tunnel has really been dug in!"

"Da Sikong was so good at predicting the situation, he defeated the thieves' tricks." Hao Meng praised.

"After the thieves know that the digging attack plan has been defeated, they will definitely withdraw the feint attack soldiers! It is the time for our army to attack." Zhu Jun said loudly and hastily, "Fang Yue, you lead a thousand elite soldiers to kill from the east gate. Hao Meng led a thousand elite soldiers to fight out from the west gate. Han Hao accompanied me to defend the city. At the same time, he gathered a thousand soldiers and horses at the city gate to wait. Once the rebels retreat, they will fight out of the city. "

"Preparatory camp, gather here!"

"Let's go from the east gate!"

"Follow me to Ximen!"

……

The three-member department will quickly gather troops and horses and act as ordered.

At this time, the offensive and defensive battle on the city is still in progress, but with the current intensity of the siege, the defenders on the city wall can resist for a while.

Under the city, Mrs. Guo yawned, stretched, and said, "How long will it take to dig this tunnel? If it doesn't reach the sky, it will be dark."

"Do you want to withdraw the troops?" Zhang Yan said, "The sun is setting, so withdrawing the troops will not arouse suspicion among the officers and soldiers."

"Go and ask how the tunnel digging is going?" Xu Rong ordered calmly.

He felt that his preparations were thorough enough and the play was realistic enough. As long as the tunnel was dug into the city, Huai County would fall tonight.

"It's not good, the tunnel is filled with water." Suddenly a Dizi Army commander ran over, panting.

"Ah?" Mrs. Guo looked puzzled, "Have you dug into the well?"

Xu Rong's eyes were confused, and he suddenly felt something bad, and said in a deep voice: "How many tunnels have been filled with water?"

"All the tunnels!" the village chief reported back, "all the tunnels dug through the foundation of the city wall and into the city have been flooded."

"This..." Zhang Yan realized something was wrong.

"Alas!" Xu Rong sighed, "Zhu Jun is indeed worthy of the name of a famous general. He has discovered our plan of digging into the ground for a sneak attack. He must have done it intentionally. Withdraw your troops! Think of other ways!"

Suddenly, a scout horse ran past and reported: "Commander Qi, something bad has happened. The army has come out from the west of the city!"

"Ah?!" Everyone was quite surprised.

Sure enough, we saw a group of men and horses charging towards the left side of the city with murderous intent, numbering over a thousand people.

At this time, another fast horse came from the east, "Commander Qi, the army has come out from the east of the city!"

"Brothers have been attacking the city for a long time and are already exhausted. Please withdraw your troops and return to camp." Guo Tai said hurriedly.

"What a keen old fox. He sent troops to fight out of the city just after destroying the tunnel. The timing was too good." Xu Rong said bitterly and unwillingly, "Withdraw!"

The golden sound immediately sounded on the battlefield.

The thieves attacking the city had long been unable to defeat them. When they heard the sound of gold ringing, they didn't even care about the siege ladder. Some even threw away their weapons and ran back, quickly getting out of the attack range of the city.

Then they slowed down and walked lazily back, some cursing the officers and soldiers, and some cursing their own commanders for their incompetence and blind command. At this moment, the city gate in front opened wide, and Han Hao led a thousand energetic elites to charge out.

Zhang Yan's eyes lit up when he saw it, and she said: "General Xu, haven't we always wanted the officers and soldiers to come out of the city to fight? Now that they have come out, do you want to fight?"

"What kind of fight are you going to fight?" Xu Rong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Look at the state of your men. Can they still fight? Fighting means risking death, and then you will be rewarded!"

However, within the five-mile-wide area between the bandit camp and the county seat, there were tens of thousands of bandit soldiers gathered, and they were all tired soldiers who had been fighting fiercely for most of the day. How could they withdraw to the camp all at once?

When they discovered that the officers and soldiers were attacking from three directions, the bandits immediately panicked and rushed towards the camp, crowding in front of the camp gate and making a mess.

"Broken Queen! Broken Queen!" Xu Rong shouted loudly.

But no one answered him.

"Put your troops over here!" Xu Rong shouted while waving his command flag.

However, no one paid attention to him, and everyone just fled to the camp.

This is the habit of the rebel army. When fighting with the wind, they will swarm, and when they flee, they will also swarm.

Although Xu Rong trained him hard for a few days, how could he suddenly turn around after being a thief for so many years?

"Zhang Yan! Mrs. Guo! Look at your soldiers!" Xu Rong shouted angrily, "How can there be such a retreat? No one cuts off the rear, no one covers, they all run back like mice. When the officers and soldiers come, they will Only to be slaughtered!”

"Why are you yelling at us? Isn't the army under your command now? You are dividing the troops and sending generals!" Zhang Yan was anxious and replied angrily.

"I gave the order, but no one listened to my military order!" Xu Rong almost cried in anger. He had participated in many big and tough battles, but he had never fought such a useless battle, where the soldiers did not obey the general's orders!
There is no way.

"General Xu leads the Iron Armored Army to block the front, I lead Brother Heishan to block the west, and Leader Guo leads Brother Bai Bo to block the east!" Zhang Yan shouted.

For today's plan, that's all.

"Iron Armored Army, move forward!" Xu Rong had to bring the Xiliang Iron Armored Army he brought from Hedong to the front.

"Black Mountain Army, follow me!" Zhang Yan shouted loudly.

"Brother Bai Bo, come east!" Mrs. Guo shouted loudly.

Some of the bandits were still crowding into the camp, and some who were more loyal to Zhang Yan and Mrs. Guo were gathering towards their leaders. However, they were unable to mobilize in an orderly manner, which only increased the chaos again.

The fighter plane waits for no one!
In the blink of an eye, three elite teams, Han Hao, Fang Yue, and Hao Meng, arrived, as if three sharp arrows rushed into the crowd.

Han Hao was the first to collide with the armored army in front of him and started to fight with all his strength. Then the two sides fought almost at the same time.

The cry of killing resounded through the sky.

Under the blood-like sunset, heads were rolling, limbs were everywhere, and blood gurgled and soaked the spring mud.

People were fighting in a pool of blood.

Xu Rong commanded 500 armored troops and fought evenly with Han Hao's 1,000 elite troops, but the two wings of Zhang Yan and Guo Tai were a bit miserable.

Before their men and horses could gather together, the officers and soldiers arrived. There was no effective resistance at all, and they almost collapsed at the first touch.

Zhang Yan and Guo Taiyi, who originally wanted to struggle, saw that the soldiers' fighting power was so poor, they immediately lost the urge to fight. Under the protection of several soldiers, they escaped from the side and went around to other camp gates to enter the camp.

The remaining bandit soldiers were unable to disperse in a hurry. They were tired soldiers who had been tortured for a day, but they encountered this surprise attack again. As a result, the commander ran away. What should they do?
What's even worse is that in the morning, in order to confuse the officers and soldiers, they built the wall of the camp extremely tightly. They first arranged wooden fences and then built earthen walls. Now it is difficult for them to knock down the wall and squeeze into the camp.

It can be said that he brought it upon himself and blocked his own escape route.

Those who have good eyesight, quick hands, or some leftover physical strength can simply step on others and climb up the wall regardless.

There was a stampede in front of the camp, and the number of people killed was not much less than those killed by the army.

Xu Rong was commanding the armored army to fight fiercely with Han Hao. He felt something was wrong behind him. When he looked back, he saw that Zhang Yan and Guo Taizao had gone somewhere. The officers and soldiers were surrounding and killing the panicked soldiers.

"Shu Zi!" Xu Rong yelled angrily and asked me to lead the armored army to block the front. But you two ran away, which really pissed me off.

"Fight and retreat at the same time!" Xu Rong ordered.

The armored army had no choice but to resist the crazy attack of the officers and soldiers while slowly retreating towards the camp.

"They can't hold on anymore, kill them!" When Han Hao saw the armored army retreating, he immediately became energetic and ordered his soldiers to pursue them and fight fiercely.

At this time, Fang Yue and Guo Tai had already killed most of the thieves on both sides. Seeing that Han Hao was having a hard time fighting here, they all came over to help. The armored army was suddenly in danger of being surrounded.

However, this also gave other bandits a chance to escape. Some fled into the camp, some climbed on the wall of the village, and some simply stayed away from the battlefield and fled in other directions.

Han Hao, Fang Yue, and Hao Meng all wanted to know who was commanding the rebels, so they launched a fierce offensive. The armored troops fought and retreated, but they were still quickly surrounded.

Xu Rong saw that they were only a few feet away from the wall, but they were unable to get close. They organized several charges in succession, but it was difficult to rush out.

Although the armored army has strong defense, it cannot stand up to the large number of officers and soldiers, and the training level of the officers and soldiers is not bad at all.

"Stay together and defend outward!" Xu Rong said loudly, giving up the idea of ​​breaking out.

The Xiliang armored troops gathered tightly together, surrounding Xu Rong at the core, with their weapons facing outwards, and fought fiercely with the officers and soldiers.

As a result, the advantage of having a large number of officers and soldiers was limited, and the only ones who could compete with the Iron Armored Army were the innermost circle.

"I, Xu Rong, am a master of strategy, am I going to die here today?" Seeing that there were less than 200 of the 500 armored troops left, Xu Rong couldn't help but feel sad.

Thieves are thieves. They are unreliable and cannot have high hopes. At the critical moment, the two thieves ran away and put themselves in danger.

Just as he was about to die generously, suddenly a cry came from the camp, "Brothers, rush out and kill the dog officers and soldiers!"

Immediately afterwards, the traitors poured out of the camp gate, and some even jumped out of the wall.

Today, only tens of thousands of people were directly attacking the city, and tens of thousands of people were resting in the camp, strengthening defenses and digging tunnels. After Zhang Yan and Mrs. Guo escaped back to the camp through other gates, they immediately organized the soldiers in the camp to fight back. , fight out of the camp.

"You two, retreat quickly, it's not advisable to fight for a long time!" Han Hao said loudly.

"Quickly retreat, I'll catch you alive!" Fang Yue said, swiping his gun and knocking the ring-headed sword out of the hand of an armored man, then he lifted it up and laid it on the horse's back.

The officers and soldiers quickly withdrew to the county seat.

Xu Rong looked around and saw that of the 500 elite armored troops he had brought from Hedong, there were only more than a hundred people left. He couldn't help but feel sad, and felt ashamed and angry.

puff! Spurting out a mouthful of blood, he fell off the horse.

After Zhang Yan and Mrs. Guo left the camp, they did not dare to pursue the officers and soldiers, so they hurriedly ordered people to carry Xu Rong back to the camp for treatment.

After a long while, Xu Rongcai woke up and said: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to win Huai County. It's better to choose another county to establish a foothold." (End of this chapter)
