Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 1017 Arrive in Time
It has been more than half a month since Huang Zhong arrived in the Western Regions, and the army is advancing all the way to the west. To be honest, it is very difficult.If you know this is the case, you should have suggested that the cavalry come to support you.

"Do you still have the strength?"

Huang Zhong asked a dozen soldiers in front of his eyes, he needed a guide in the vast Gobi Desert, otherwise it would be extremely easy to go astray, and it is normal to go astray in this environment lacking reference objects.

"General Qi, I'm going to rush back to kill the enemy!"

A soldier replied.

"Very well, you are divided into two groups. One group will go back and report to General Xi, the reinforcements have arrived, and the other group will be the guides of the army and lead the army on their way." Huang Zhong said.

"Yes, General!"

The dozen or so soldiers discussed a few words, leaving five of them as guides, and the others all returned. They rushed out, and they were chased by people from the Western Regions.

The soldiers sent out to look for reinforcements had completed their mission, but Cao Cao didn't know about it. The Allied Forces of the Western Regions went crazy for some reason, and suddenly a large army attacked.

Cao Cao could only lead his army to resist. The Western Expeditionary Army was obviously stronger than the Western Region Allied Forces, but due to the existence of poisonous insects, the Western Expeditionary Army was at a disadvantage.

Soldiers must not only kill the enemy, but also keep an eye out for sneak attacks by poisonous insects.

In the fierce battle of defending the city, half-heartedness is tantamount to courting death. If Xu Chu and other fierce generals had not tried their best to turn the tide, the city walls of Khotan King City would have fallen long ago.

Today is the third day of the Western Region coalition attacking the city. Their continuous attacks have lost countless poisonous insects and soldiers. They are willing to pay such a price to attack the city. Cao Cao really can't understand the reason.

"Soldiers, the reinforcements are coming soon, we must stand up!" Cao Cao cheered up his morale loudly, and even went up to kill the enemy himself in an emergency.

He knew that once the city was broken, he and the soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army would probably all die here. This was not his original intention of Cao Cao.

"Protect the lord!"

When Xu Chu saw Cao Cao go off to kill the enemy in person, he immediately returned to his side to protect Cao Cao and block the fatal attack for Cao Cao.

When the Allied Forces of the Western Regions saw the commander of the Central Plains people entering the battlefield, their momentum suddenly rose. They didn't know what King Wusun and Queen Shache had said to them, so they rushed to the city screaming.

In urban warfare, people from the Western Regions didn't think much of the expedition to the west. If it weren't for the difference in numbers and the low walls of the King City of Khotan, the people from the Western Regions wouldn't even be able to climb up the walls.

King Wusun wanted to concentrate his forces to attack the city wall and kill Cao Cao, so why did Cao Cao not want to kill King Wusun and Queen Shache.

Poisonous insects have always been something that Cao Cao loathes. It is these heretical tricks that make the Xizheng army fearful and dare not let go of their hands and feet to fight.

Going out of the city to fight, your own cavalry has no advantage over the camel soldiers!
Can only defend the city, this situation made Cao Cao very depressed.What annoyed him even more was that the people from the Western Regions acted as if they would not stop until they captured Khotan.

"My lord, the people from the Western Regions are coming up, you step back and kill them back at the end of the day!"

Xu Chu increased the number of enemies ahead, knowing that the front could not be stopped.

"Zhongkang, be careful!"

Cao Cao knew that in this situation, the generals had to be in charge. Only in this way can the soldiers be confident and not lose their positions.

"My lord, don't worry, the barbarians in the Western Regions can't bear me." Xu Chu said proudly.

It's not that Xu Chu is arrogant. After fighting for so long, the people from the Western Regions really haven't been able to hurt him.

"Soldiers, follow me and kill these people from the Western Regions!"

Xu Chu personally led Cao Cao's Tiger Guards to charge forward and beat down all the people from the Western Regions who had climbed the city wall.

With Xu Chu standing there, and Xiahou Dun and Xu Huang there, the people from the Western Regions were suppressed and chose to retreat for the time being.

"My lord, if the reinforcements don't come, we won't be able to hold on. The city is running out of food, and the damaged ordnance can't be repaired."

Taking advantage of the gap in the battle, Xu Huang reported bad news to Cao Cao.

"How long can the food and grass last?" Cao Cao asked.

If there is no food to eat, you will definitely not be able to fight when you are hungry.

"At most three days!" Xu Huang said.

After three days, if the reinforcements do not arrive, or if the people from the Western Regions do not retreat, the city will run out of food.

"Two days later, if the reinforcements don't come, organize a breakout immediately. From now on, the three of you cannot go out to kill the enemy at the same time, and one of you must be in a state of truce." Cao Cao ordered.

"The general understands!" Xu Chu, Xia Houdun, and Xu Huang said.

"Go down and get ready, the people from the Western Regions are here again!" Baby said.

It's annoying that people from the Western Regions go crazy, but Cao Cao has nothing to do with them.

Fighting stopped and stopped, the coalition forces of the Western Regions left countless corpses, but they fought to the death and never retreated!Even if Cao Cao noticed something, he didn't have the time and leisure to verify it.

Everything can only be known after the end of the war.

In two days, it was easy for the Western Expeditionary Army to persist, but the lack of food in the city caused a little panic in the army!

This can't be blamed on the soldiers. They are in a foreign country, they have no food to eat, and there are enemies outside who want to kill them. In this situation, it is difficult not to panic.

In fact, Cao Cao himself was a little flustered, and he was also afraid that his bones would be buried in a foreign country!
"My lord, the Western Regions have launched an all-out attack! When will our army break through?"

Xu Huang rushed over and asked.

It is meaningless to continue to defend the city, and there is still a way out for rushing out to do business.

"Order the whole army to prepare to break out from the east gate!" Cao Cao ordered.

At this time, Cao Cao no longer hesitates!

"What's going on?" As soon as he gave the order to break through, the soldiers stopped moving.

"My lord, reinforcements! Outside! Reinforcements are here!"

"Yellow general flag? It's the White Tiger Legion! General Huang Zhong of the White Tiger Legion!"

"My lord, we don't need to break through!"

The generals were trembling with excitement when they saw the White Tiger Legion outside the city charging behind the Allied Forces of the Western Regions!

Waiting for reinforcements from a foreign country, a sense of pride arises spontaneously!

Look, that's our reinforcements!
The strongest army of the Shu army, the White Tiger Army came to help in person!

"Open the city gate, let's fight out and meet General Huang!" Cao Cao made a decisive decision and ordered the army to fight back!

"As ordered!"

The generals were ordered to rush out of the city with their respective troops, and with the anger accumulated in the past half a month, they rushed to the Western Region coalition forces!
After being raided behind him, the Allied Forces of the Western Regions panicked from the very beginning. King Wusun saw the sound of killing from behind and the dust flying all day long, and immediately wanted to escape.

Cao Cao in the city was killed, no matter how stupid he was, he could have imagined that reinforcements from the Central Plains had arrived.

Queen Shache originally wanted to use the poisonous insects to resist the Central Plains army behind her, but her precious poisonous insects cut off contact with her as soon as they left.

Without the help of poisonous insects, in the hands of the soldiers of the White Tiger Army, the Allied Forces of the Western Regions are like chickens and dogs!

In the army formation, Mulu easily broke Queen Shache's poisonous insect formation!He is an animal trainer, he can even tame birds and beasts, let alone small poisonous insects?

It should be said that Queen Shache's method is similar to the witchcraft in the southern border of Shu, and in Mulu's eyes, it is not difficult to break it.

When the beast cavalry of the White Tiger Legion rushed out, the Allied forces of the Western Regions immediately collapsed!There are still armies riding tigers in this world, they never even thought about it, why fight at this time?If you don't want to be the tiger's ration, you have to run away quickly.

Queen Shache looked at the beast cavalry of the White Tiger Legion, and she was also very shocked. She thought her methods were powerful enough, but now it seems that there are mountains beyond mountains!
