Three Kingdoms: I will act as a substitute for the Hunjun
Chapter 220 Reinforcements are coming
Yewang is located in the northwest of Hanoi County and is the second largest city in Hanoi after the county seat Huai County.
Guo Tai was very familiar with this city. Half a year ago, when he fought his way into Henei from Hedong, he had stayed here. Now he volunteered to go to Yewang City, with the idea of revenge and the feeling of returning home in glory.
"Captain Guo, don't worry about the battle. Mr. Dong will send troops from Hedong to support you." Before leaving, Xu Rong encouraged Mr. Guo.
"Brother Xu, rest assured. I will not only take down Yewang City, but also fight back to my hometown in Hedong." Mr. Guo waved his hand and said, "I know that place well!"
Xu Rong watched Guo Tai lead his troops away with pity in his eyes.
Dong Zhuo could hardly protect himself, and was still hoping that the Hedong Rebellion would distract the government troops from dividing their forces. How could he possibly send troops to support Guo Tai?
Guo Tai was just a bait to attract government troops, and the fate of the bait would most likely be to be swallowed.
Xu Rong turned to look at Zhang Yan and said, "Captain Guo has led his troops to Yewang for revenge. I heard that Chief Zhang was also humiliated in Pinggao City before. Do you want to lead the Black Mountain brothers to flatten Pinggao?"
Zhang Yan shook his head firmly and said, "I am not going anywhere. If I have been humiliated, the biggest humiliation is this Huai County. I have failed to capture it many times and suffered heavy casualties. I will stay in Huai County. If General Xu is interested, we can attack other counties."
"In that case, I will work with Chief Zhang to keep an eye on the old villain Zhu Jun in Huai County!" Xu Rong laughed, "But it's useless to just stare at him, we have to attack him violently!"
Zhang Yan looked at Xu Rong's expression and felt that this guy had bad intentions, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he shook his head again and said, "We have tried to attack by force, but it didn't work. We might as well wait patiently for news from Guo Tai on other counties. Zhu Jun will never watch other counties fall without saving them. As long as he sends troops to rescue them, then I will have the opportunity to send troops."
Xu Rong frowned, thinking that this rough guy was not easy to deceive. Mr. Dong was still waiting for his surprise attack here to work. It was not certain how much of a lure Guo Tai could have. But it would not be a good idea for him to just sit there and waste time in Huai County.
With a roll of his eyes, Xu Rong said, "I have a plan that might work wonders."
"What's the plan?" Zhang Yan leaned forward and asked, "Tell me quickly."
"Why don't you just lead the Black Mountain brothers to charge directly into Hedong and attack the government troops from both sides together with Lord Dong?" Xu Rong said while paying attention to Zhang Yan's expression, and said in a deep voice, "If we are attacked from both sides, the government troops will surely collapse. Then we can gain a firm foothold in Hedong. Isn't it a hundred times better than wasting time here?"
Zhang Yan thought about it, shook his head again, and said, "Black Mountain Army, Black Mountain Army, can we still call it Black Mountain Army without Black Mountain? We almost took over Hanoi last year, but the dog emperor personally led the army to disrupt our good situation. If we leave Hanoi and go to Hedong, I don't think the Black Mountain Army will have any good future. Besides, the government troops in Hedong are three or four times more than those in Hanoi. We can't even take Hanoi, so how can we take Hedong?"
Xu Rong was helpless. He didn't expect Zhang Yan to be so stubborn. What's more, he was alone and weak, and had to rely on the other party to get things done. He had no way to deal with the other party.
"In that case, we have no choice but to continue sending small teams to the surrounding villages to plunder some food and fodder for survival." Xu Rong sighed helplessly.
Then he secretly sent spies to Hedong to deliver a letter to Dong Zhuo, reporting the war in Henei, especially Guo Tai's attack on Yewang.
……
Guo Tai led 10,000 white wave bandits to the west, and arrived at the city of Yewang two days later. Looking at this familiar city, Guo Tai was overwhelmed with emotion, raised the flag high, and shouted: "I, Marshal Guo, am back again, brothers, attack!"
"Kill!" the Baibo bandits shouted and attacked Yewang City like a tide.
They were extremely eager to once again crush and ravage this city where they had once been lawless and wanton, so they were extremely excited and rushed towards the city shouting.
Yewang City was looted and destroyed by the Baibo bandits last year. The new county magistrate attached great importance to the city defense and actively repaired the city walls and increased the defense supplies. Unfortunately, what was actually damaged in the city was not the infrastructure, but the population and property.
When the Baibo bandits occupied Yewang City, a large amount of property was looted, young and strong people were forced to join their gang, and many were killed innocently. As a result, the population and wealth of the city dropped sharply, which greatly affected the post-war reconstruction.
Although the county magistrate actively strengthened the city's defenses and trained local militia, the overall garrison was much weaker than that of other cities. Therefore, under the sudden attack of more than 10,000 Baibo bandits, the defense was precarious and could fall at any time.
After barely holding out for half a day, the enemy troops continued to surge onto the city walls. Seeing that the county city was no longer safe, the county magistrate sighed and said, "Your Majesty, it's not that I'm not loyal, it's just that the enemy is too strong."
As he spoke, the county magistrate drew out his sword with a clang, put it to his neck, and prepared to die to prove his integrity.
At this moment, dust was seen flying in the west, and a large group of people were marching towards this side rapidly.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the city and outside the city were overjoyed.
"Hahahaha, everyone, hold on, our reinforcements have arrived." The county magistrate immediately became excited, waving his sword and shouting excitedly.
"Brothers, Lord Dong has sent people to support us. Let's work harder and don't let the Xiliang soldiers underestimate us. Kill!" Guo Tai also raised his sword and shouted loudly.
When he left Huai County, Xu Rong told him that Dong Zhuo would send troops to support him, and Guo Tai believed it to be true.
The mysterious reinforcements are getting closer and closer...
"General, judging from the flags and armor, they don't seem to be the Xiliang army." A small general said with some worry as he stared at the army approaching them rapidly in the dust.
Guo Tai also took a look, but because the army was marching and the dust was flying, it was difficult to distinguish clearly for a while, so he said to the small commander, "Send a few brothers to go up and take a look." Immediately, two Meteor scouts went out and ran towards the direction of the dust.
The scout went out quickly and came back quickly, shouting as he ran back: "Marshal, something terrible has happened, that is..."
Before they could finish their words, two arrows hit them in the back and knocked them off their horses.
Mrs. Guo saw it clearly and couldn't help but shudder, "What's going on? Could it really not be Mr. Dong?"
"Marshal, could it be reinforcements from the government troops?" the young commander reminded.
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Guo Tai made a prompt decision and issued the order to retreat. The sound of retreat rang out on the battlefield.
However, with tens of thousands of people in a fierce siege, it is impossible to withdraw them all at once. It will take more time to successfully evacuate Yewang City.
The Baibo bandits who were attacking the city were still puzzled. With the current situation, they would be able to capture Yewang City soon. It was the time to capture the city and seize the land in one go. Why did the commander-in-chief suddenly withdraw his troops?
Before they could understand what was happening, a torrential rain of arrows fell on their heads - it was Cao Ren and Liu Biao who arrived with reinforcements.
Liu Biao ordered the Shesheng Camp to shoot arrows like locusts at the Baibo bandits.
The Baibo bandits' defensive measures were insufficient to begin with, and they thought that friendly forces were coming to support them, so they were caught off guard and were attacked.
In addition, it happened that Guo Tai issued the order to retreat at this time. Several factors came together, and the Baibo Army was in chaos under the overwhelming rain of arrows.
The Shesheng Battalion today is no longer what it was half a year ago when it was stationed in the capital. After brutal life-and-death fighting on the battlefield, both its battlefield discipline and fierce style have been greatly improved, and even its archery skills have been honed in actual combat.
Crossbows and bows and arrows were fired at the same time, and the Baibo army, which was already poorly dressed and armored, immediately became prey to be hunted in the hunting ground and were shot to the ground one by one.
"Where are the reinforcements? Xu Rong, fuck your grandma!" Mrs. Guo's eyes turned red as she watched the scene in front of her, and she cursed Xu Rong, but it was of no avail.
"Marshal, please retreat. Retreating early will allow our brothers to survive." The subordinate begged in tears.
"Where else can we retreat to? Back to Black Mountain?" Mrs. Guo said with clenched teeth, "If we go back this time, I'm afraid we won't be qualified to be on equal footing with Zhang Yan."
"Let's go back and seek revenge on Xu Rong first." Another Xiaoqu general suggested.
Guo Tai looked at the soldiers fleeing all over the mountains and plains, gritted his teeth and said, "Retreat, return to Huai County first!"
The Baibo Army retreated like a tide, but it was not that easy to retreat!
Cao Ren immediately ordered his troops to pursue and kill them.
The Baibo army suffered heavy casualties. In panic, Guo Tai looked back and sighed, "Fortunately, the government troops also came from a long distance, otherwise we would have lost more than half of our brothers in this wave of pursuit."
"Yes, we should speed up our retreat. The brothers behind us have risked their lives to buy us the opportunity to retreat. We can't let them down." A small canal commander said anxiously.
Just as Guo Tai was about to ride away quickly, he suddenly saw a cloud of dust rising in the distance again, as if another army was rushing towards them.
And soon he heard the rumbling sound of horse hooves.
"The cavalry is coming!" Guo Tai was shocked. "Which group are they this time?"
"This time it must be the Xiliang reinforcements sent by Lord Dong." The young commander said happily, "The Xiliang army is best at cavalry combat. The cavalry of the government army is too busy dealing with Lord Dong, so they will definitely not be sent here to support Hanoi."
Guo Taishen agreed. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry was also a well-known elite force. In terms of combat power, even the imperial cavalry battalion was no match for them. The fact that Dong Zhuo was able to hold out for so long had a lot to do with the fact that he still had a cavalry unit under his command.
At this special moment, a cavalry appeared on the battlefield. In the eyes of the Baibo Army, this should be the reinforcements from Lord Dong.
"Well, it seems that Xu Rong didn't lie completely. Brothers, gather around me and prepare to cooperate with the reinforcements to attack the officers and soldiers from the front and back!"
Guo Tai immediately gave the order, and the messenger waved the red flag. The fleeing Baibo Army saw it and hurriedly moved towards the central army.
The news of the arrival of reinforcements quickly spread among the Baibo Army, slightly boosting morale.
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and soon, everyone could see the true appearance of the horse and man in the dust!
"Xu Rong, fuck your grandma, retreat!" Guo Tai yelled, and fled on his horse. (End of this chapter)
