Unparalleled Huaxiong of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 144 Strengthening the Camp Defense
Between Yuzhong and Jincheng, at the foot of a verdant mountain, a military camp of 2 people is stationed here.

This is the infantry army of Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi. When they suddenly learned that Yuzhong was lost, they rushed to Yuzhong with their cavalry at Xingye. The infantry marched too slowly, and it was inconvenient to march at night, so they only brought cavalry. .

In the end, no one expected that the 2000 cavalry were defeated by [-] opponents, and not even one of the main generals survived.

At this time, some remnant soldiers who had already survived by luck passed on their feelings.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, the three lieutenants were already in place, each of them was like ants on a hot pot.

One of the lieutenants asked:
"Everyone, the whereabouts of the two generals are unknown now, but some brothers who came back said that the general is dead. Tell me, where should we go now?"

Another lieutenant general opposite him said: "I suggest that the whole army retreat immediately to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the victory."

As soon as the lieutenant general opened his mouth, the next lieutenant general showed a sarcasm and said:

"I said, Old Xu, do you really know how to march? The place where General Cheng and General Yang encountered the enemy is at least thirty miles, thirty miles away from here. Let alone the enemy just fought a battle, even if he is recharging his energy The long-awaited cavalry ran for [-] miles, and when we got to our place, we could only die!"

The lieutenant immediately retorted:
"That's right, General Liang Xing thought the same way at the beginning, but lost Yuzhong for no apparent reason."

The two men talked to each other and saw that they were about to quarrel, the lieutenant general who had just spoken first hurriedly persuaded: "You two stop arguing, right now you and I are the three in charge in the camp, with 2 soldiers. Let the horse rest here, Old Xu, I agree with you that we should guard against the enemy's attack, but I don't agree to retreat, Old Wei, what about you?"

That old Xu was the lieutenant who proposed to retreat before, and old Wei was the one who quarreled with him.

At that moment, Old Wei glanced at Old Xu contemptuously, and said, "Huh! Old Li, let me tell you, I only listen to the General, and I won't go anywhere until the General's military order arrives!"

"it is good."

After Lao Wei finished speaking, Lao Li said: "Since that's the case, Lao Xu, you put forward the idea of ​​guarding against the enemy's attack. From now on, your troops and horses will first strengthen the camp defense, and then Lao Wei and I will take turns to come." At the same time, send more scouts out to inquire about the news of the two generals, is it possible?"

Old Xu nodded helplessly and said, "It's possible."

The three of them dispersed immediately, and when Lao Xu returned to his barracks, he immediately ordered all the troops to carry the repelling deer and other things, and set up defenses in front of the camp.

An hour passed, and the old Xu looked at the sky with a fishy belly, and he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. As long as the enemy didn't come at the last moment before dawn, they basically wouldn't come after that.

Because the moment before dawn is the most exhausting time for people.

But this old Xu never imagined that during the hour when he just strengthened the defense of the camp, the cavalry on Huaxiong's side had undergone earth-shaking changes from men to horses.

Lao Xu placed a mat behind the gate of the camp. He lay on the mat, looked at the sky, and felt the vibration caused by cavalry advancing on the ground.

Suddenly, Lao Xu's body moved slightly, and his half-closed eyes suddenly opened.

The next moment, Old Xu hurriedly put his hand on the ground on one side, then turned over and listened carefully with his ear close to his ears. The more he listened, the gloom on Old Xu's face became more intense.

In the end, Lao Xu slapped his hands on the ground, stood up suddenly from the ground, and shouted behind him:

"Quick! Beat the drum! There is a large cavalry coming to our side!"

dong dong dong-

Soon, the sound of rumbling war drums resounded throughout the barracks, and Lao Wei and Lao Li, who had just fallen asleep, woke up from their sleep. He rushed out and ordered his troops to assemble.

The frequency of the drums represented the urgency of the military situation, the faster the drum beat, the more urgent the military situation was, and right now Lao Xu's drumbeat was like a summer rainstorm.

All of a sudden, the whole barracks became busy, but only Old Wei was there as if nothing had happened.

Here, Lao Li's army has assembled, and the scout sent by Lao Xu said to him: "General Li, General Xu asked me to tell you that there is a large cavalry force coming to us!"

"Okay! Got it!"

After Lao Li finished speaking, he ordered several military marquises to put the army on standby first, and then he rode his horse and ran towards Lao Xu.

At this time, Lao Xu was standing on a tower in the camp, looking at the road coming from the east of the camp. His soldiers had already reinforced the camp wall, and archers and pikemen had already taken their positions behind the camp wall.

After Lao Li arrived, he got off his horse and immediately felt the tremors coming from the ground, and immediately understood what was going on. Looking at Lao Xu on the tower and the soldiers waiting in full force behind the camp wall, he couldn't help but grow a little. tone.

Lao Li climbed up the tower and came to Lao Xu, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Old Xu, it's all thanks to you, otherwise this matter would be serious."

Lao Xu kept his eyes on the east side, and he said to Lao Li: "Lao Li, I will guard the east. You have a lot of people, guard the north and south sides, let Lao Wei guard the west."

Lao Li immediately agreed: "Okay! You can do whatever you say!"

After finishing speaking, Lao Li waved to his own soldiers under the tower, and ordered: "Go, pass the order on my behalf! Let Zhang Chao and Wang Han each take half of the soldiers and horses to guard the north and south sides of the camp!"

"promise!"

After finishing speaking, the guard rode away, while Lao Li and Lao Xu were still on the tower looking at the east side. He wanted to see what kind of cavalry they dared to march like this?

Time passed bit by bit, and finally, when the last gleam of darkness faded before dawn, the blade of Hua Xiong's ghost knife was exposed in the eyes of Lao Xu and Lao Li.

When he first saw Hua Xiong and the cavalry behind him, Lao Li asked in disbelief:
"This, this, Old Xu, you have good eyesight, can you see if there are any people behind? Why do I only see a thousand people? No, this should be less than 1000 people."

Old Xu Ning frowned, also said doubtfully:

"There should be no one behind. The sky is already bright, and there is a plain behind. Where can people hide?"

Hearing Lao Xu's words, Lao Li lost interest immediately and said, "It's just eight or nine hundred people? Why are you here?"

But at this time, facing them, Yan Yun'er looked at the extremely tightly closed camp gate, and then at the guard tower waiting for the archers, and said with some regret: "It's a pity, this time I think it will be a waste of time."

After listening to Yan Yuner's words, Yao Qi grinned and said, "呵"

He just said "呵", and when he saw Hua Xiong's cold gaze, he immediately changed his words:

"My lord, just watch me, the chief national teacher of the White Wolf Kingdom, break down that camp gate for you!"
