Hu Cai looked at the forest that was burning with flames in front of him, then raised his head and looked through the treetops of the forest in the direction of Pingyang Old City. Although the outline of Pingyang City could not be seen here, Hu Cai seemed to feel that he had already
I saw the chaotic appearance of soldiers in the old city of Pingyang.
Thinking of the hundreds of soldiers who had just walked through the woods and ran like rabbits, an idea became stronger in Hu Cai's mind -
That guy's last name is probably going to escape overnight!
Normally, even if you were to ambush in this forest, you would have to wait for the enemy soldiers to arrive and then launch a sudden attack to achieve the effect of the ambush.
But these hundreds of soldiers didn't look like they were coming to ambush. Instead, they came specifically to burn down this forest to block my way to Pingyang...
Damn it!
A ferocious smile appeared on Hu Cai's face. He liked this kind of fleeing soldiers so much!
There was someone with a last name before?
By the way, it should be a man named Niu, and the same is true. Whenever there is danger, he will be the first to run for his life. At that time, he chased after this group of fearful ghosts. Many of the soldiers under his command now have armors and weapons obtained at that time.
of……
I didn’t expect to meet another one here, hahaha, it’s true that Huang Tian has eyes, bless me, Hu Cai, to make a fortune!
Hu Cai looked at the sky and saw that he had set off very early today and it was not too late yet, so he made up his mind and ordered: "Go around the woods and chase after me!"
The treasure map may not be true, but the weapons and armors worn by these fleeing soldiers are truly valuable, and they are absolutely valuable!
If you rush there earlier, you might be able to catch up with these cowards, but if you wait until tomorrow, you'll probably get nothing!
Hu Cai urged his soldiers, not caring that their formations were somewhat scattered and deformed under his request. The ones originally on the left wing became the forward, and the ones on the original right became the rear...
The whole formation was very long.
However, Hu Cai didn't care about this at all. Anyway, as long as he didn't fall behind, he could basically keep up. Therefore, he did not waste time on the whole team, but followed Huang Cheng and others closely and rushed towards the old site of Pingyang.
.,
He started marching early in the morning and continued until noon. Only then did Hu Cai see the old site of Pingyang County from a distance.
Hu Cai's army seemed to have been discovered, and there was a panic on the top of the city. There were some soldiers riding horses under the city, but they abandoned the city and fled...
"Hahahaha!" Hu Cai laughed when he saw this. He became more and more sure that he was a soldier led by a coward. He pointed with his riding crop and shouted loudly, "See, it's over there! They are all a bunch of eggless cowards! Today
Take that place, and everyone will go into the city to have a meal! All will have bread! All will have dried meat!"
"Oh..." Bai Bojun cheered when he heard this. They had been exhausted all the way, but when they heard that they had to eat extra after conquering this ruined city at night, everyone suddenly became a little more energetic.
If they were to attack a complete city, the soldiers of the Baibo Army would still murmur a little, but the one in front of them is obviously a dilapidated appearance. Although some traces of repair can be seen on the city wall, it is compared to the truly intact nature.
It's far worse, so naturally I have a little more courage...
Hu Cai led his soldiers to line up under the city and began to prepare to attack the city. However, Hu Cai's entire formation was now too long. The young and strong ones followed closely, and those with slightly weaker physical strength gradually caught up.
We've arrived, but there are still nearly a third of the people still behind...
Hu Cai frowned and took another look at Pingyang's dilapidated city wall...
× × × × × × × × ×
While Hu Cai was looking at Pingyang County, Fei Qian was also looking at the Baibo troops under the city.
"Fei Langjun, it looks like there will be a battle here soon, otherwise..." Huang Cheng said from the side. To be honest, the last encounter at Hangu Pass really scared Huang Cheng. If Fei Qian
It's okay to be a person with strong martial arts skills. At most, he can accompany him to charge into battle, but Fei Qian's martial arts skills are half-full, which is really not reassuring.
Fei Qian also knew that he could only be of no help here, so he did not use a dignified tone or say something about the presence of people in the city, but whispered: "Uncle, please be careful, and save the time ahead."
Stay strong, the beginning is yet to come..."
Huang Cheng nodded, indicating that he understood.
The city wall of Pingyang County has been restored to some appearance after being repaired and repaired by Fei Qian soldiers in the past few days. However, on the side facing Hu Cai, there is a very large collapsed gap, but it will obviously not be filled for a while.
I just reluctantly used some loess to build a low wall on top of the half-collapsed remains of the city wall...
Fei Qian looked around and calculated. If he was the general of the Baibo Army who led the troops below, there should be almost only one optimal choice...
If the White Wave Army does not come today, it will be really troublesome for Fei Qian. If it does not come today, it means that the commander-in-chief of the White Wave Army is relatively stable and conservative. Such generals will always have some back-ups.
Defeat is possible, but defeat is more difficult.
In my impression, among the generals of the Three Kingdoms, this type of generals is also the most annoying. Just like Zhuge Liang met Sima Yi, no matter how many strategies he tried, it would still be useless.
In fact, Fei Qian himself took risks this time, but his opponent was relatively cooperative...
Seeing that the people below the city seemed to be reorganizing their formation, not as if they were setting up camp, but as if they were about to attack, Fei Qian ordered someone to deliver rice balls to the soldiers in front of the formation.
Each soldier has a rice ball that is slightly smaller than a fist and is made of a mixture of millet and wheat. Compared with ordinary pure corn rice, it is relatively less hungry, plus a small stick of salted dried rice that is about the size of a little finger.
The meat strips and water are poured into bamboo tubes. If you want to drink, you can get it yourself.
Many soldiers ate the rice balls first, and then put the small dried meat strips in their mouths, grinding them slowly with their teeth, basically reluctant to finish them all at once...
Fei Qian made a final inspection, exchanged a few words with Huang Cheng, and then descended from the city wall.
As for Fei sneaking into the city and retreating to the back, the soldiers on the city saw it, but they didn't have any objections. Going into battle to kill the enemy is a matter for the soldiers. If the commander-in-chief rushes to the front line, it will certainly be more serious.
There is nothing wrong with boosting morale, but if a civil servant rushes to the front line, he is completely brainless.
In their concept, this should be the case. Otherwise, why would they recruit troops? Eat people's food and work for others. It's that simple. These days, as long as you don't run away first before the battle, you are considered a good commander.
Yes, as long as the flag is not moved back, there will be no problem.
× × × × × × × × ×
Hu Cai carefully observed the walls of Pingyang Old City.
Although there are some small gaps in the city wall on the side, they are sealed with bricks and stone barriers. If it is a full-scale attack, it can be knocked down, but it will take too much effort, and there are not many trees nearby.
A relatively good forest was set on fire by this group of birdmen. Now I just want to make something like a ladder, but I really can't find any materials at the moment.
But without the problem of siege equipment, it doesn't matter in the face of this huge gap in the front!
In addition, the small earth wall was less than the height of two people, and the collapsed earth just formed a slope, so it was impossible to climb up.
You can just climb up, so why do you need to make a piece of equipment?
Several soldiers who went around the city to inspect came back and reported that only this gap was the largest, and most of the others had been filled...
Okay, that’s it!
Hu Cai directly ordered the distribution of rice balls and prepared for battle.
Dry food such as rice balls were in the hands of Hu Cai's personal guards. After hearing Hu Cai's order, they all took off the dry food bags they were carrying and took out at least one piece of dry food from the bag.
Two finger-sized rice balls were then distributed one by one to the Baibo army who were preparing for the first batch of siege in front of the formation...
This rice ball has a name, it's called human head rice ball...
During Liu Bei's stay in Xudu.
One day, Cao Cao took his son Cao Chong to visit Liu Bei, intending to let Cao Chong meet the heroes of the world.
Cao Cao walked into the courtyard, but did not see Liu Bei, so he loudly said: "Cao and his young son are here to visit!"
I saw Liu Bei running out of the backyard in a hurry: "Oh~ come as soon as you come~ do you bring any fruits~"
