Chapter 165 Fighting Xu Huang (two in one asking for a monthly pass)
On the south bank of Xiaopingjin, Li Jin, who was waiting with his troops and horses, could not help but stand up when he felt the vibrations coming from the rope as promised, as well as some shouts of killing coming from across the river.
"Uncle Huang and the others have tied the rope securely! On the other side, thirty people are fighting to kill three hundred people!
With the dignity of the emperor's uncle, he still dares to take the lead in such a situation, cross the river at night, fight with less and fight with more, and fight desperately to clear the way for us, so that the military situation will not be leaked and we can succeed in the battle. We, these mud-legged people,
How dare you spare your life?!
Send me my order! Cross the river immediately!
Live to the former, die to the latter!"
Li Jin, who had already taken off his clothes, stood here and shouted orders.
Originally, many soldiers were extremely afraid of relying on this method to cross the Yellow River at night.
But now, with the example of the general Liu Cheng personally doing it, and hearing these words from Li Jin, the fear in my heart suddenly disappeared completely.
After receiving Li Jin's order, these people did not even hesitate for a moment. They had already tied the reed poles in front of them and immediately entered the cold water of the Yellow River.
Pull the rope with your hands and head towards the other side of the Yellow River!
At this time, they no longer had any fear, they just thought about how to cross the Yellow River quickly!
Because their general is there, killing more enemies with less fighting, they must hurry over and fight side by side with their general to kill the enemy!
Nearly two thousand soldiers, regardless of whether they had been in the water before, all entered the cold Yellow River under such circumstances, using this seemingly dangerous method to cross the Yellow River in the dark!
Li Jin held the sword in his hand and stood motionless watching the soldiers crossing the river.
Originally, he was even mentally prepared to kill a few soldiers who were unwilling to cross the river to establish his authority.
As a result, from the beginning to the end, there was not even a single soldier who hesitated too much. Everyone lined up and entered the cold river without hesitation!
After the last soldier entered the Yellow River, Li Jin put away his sword, and then the last soldier entered the cold Yellow River without hesitation and began to cross the Yellow River!
There was some smile on his face.
Because from the performance of these soldiers just now, he already knew that they would definitely win this battle!
It's not because of how well their plan is done, but because they have such a commander and such a group of soldiers!
When Li Jin crossed the river and had not even crossed a tenth of it, he saw someone on the other side holding a torch dancing in circles three to the left and three to the right.
This was the signal that the emperor's uncle sent out after he had dealt with the enemies on the other side, as agreed before!
"Uncle Huang is truly a god!"
Even before Li Jin, following Liu Cheng, he had seen a lot of Liu Cheng's bravery. At this time, he still couldn't help but sigh!
Thirty versus three hundred, but he was able to defeat the enemy so quickly, he couldn't help but feel emotional!
At this time, Li Jin still didn't know that there were only five people actually participating in this battle that ended quickly. If he knew, I'm afraid his feelings would become even stronger...
…
"Xu Huang is a general!
If Yang Feng, Han Xian and others follow Xu Gongming's advice, I will not be able to cross tonight!"
On the north bank of Xiaopingjin, after Li Jin, who was last in line, climbed out of the Yellow River, Liu Cheng, who was covered in blood after a battle, couldn't help but sigh.
The reason for this was that he already knew that these three hundred thieves, who were more cohesive than many regular armies, were the subordinates brought out by Xu Huang.
In addition, he also got a piece of news from the surrendered soldiers. This news was that Xu Huang had previously proposed to Yang Feng and others the idea of sending a large number of troops to garrison Xiaopingjin.
It's just that Yang Feng and others are attacking the enemy head-on. If they allocate a large number of troops to garrison Xiaopingjin, their troops here will not be enough. It is very likely that big problems will occur and they will be attacked.
Breakthrough from the front...
Citing many reasons, he rejected Xu Huang's proposal.
In the end, it was only at Xu Huang's insistence that he reluctantly agreed. Xu Huang sent 300 of his troops to garrison here at Xiaopingjin to monitor the river.
According to the understanding of Yang Feng, Han Xian and others, with these three hundred people guarding here, if a thief crosses the river, they will definitely be able to detect it and pass the message to Meng Jin upstream.
After all, these are 300 soldiers, not 300 pigs, and the Yellow River is blocking the way to the south. No matter how many thieves come, it is impossible to kill all these 300 soldiers and horses, whose overall quality is very good.
Destroy it so that no message can be conveyed...
Li Jin, who hurriedly put on his armor, couldn't help but sigh along with Liu Cheng after learning these things from Liu Cheng.
"Xu Gongming is indeed a person, but it's a pity that rebels like Yang Feng don't know how to put him to good use..."
As he said that, he changed the topic: "Looking at this man's military actions, it is indeed worthy for the emperor to do so many things for him and make a good plan..."
Liu Cheng smiled and nodded, then turned his attention to Lu Yang, who was following him, and the several manpower Lu Yang had developed during these times.
“Let’s leave this matter to retreat.
But you must be careful on the road. Although Xu Huang is important, to me, it is still far less important than retreating from you.
Be careful with everything on this trip. If you can do something, do it. If you can't do it, don't force it!
Everything must be done on the premise that you can ensure your own safety!"
After hearing what he said, Lu Yang and others were deeply moved.
"Lv Yang has taken note of it and will obey the Lord's instructions!"
With that said, he said goodbye to Liu Cheng and others, and after crossing the river with a few of his men and a hundred others, Liu Cheng's soldiers and horses, like Lu Yang and others, had already put on the armor of the Baibo thieves, and hurried towards the north.
go.
Liu Cheng stood here and watched for a while. After leaving, Lu Yang and others quickly merged into the darkness and gave the order: "Let's go! Let's reach Mengjin above tonight and give Bai Bo
Thieves, give me a big surprise!"
After that, he led all the soldiers who had put on their armor and headed upstream along the north bank of the Yellow River.
During the march, Liu Cheng also ordered the soldiers to bring out the cooked meat and some pancakes that they had prepared when they left Sishui Pass.
To replenish physical strength for the ongoing journey and the upcoming battle, and at the same time reduce the burden...
Liu Cheng also ordered that the soldiers should eat the food they brought with them as long as they could eat it without any reservation.
Because he said that tomorrow morning’s breakfast would be eaten at the Baibo bandit’s camp!
If words like Liu Cheng's were heard in other people's ears, they would only think that he was speaking arrogantly.
But hearing this in the ears of these soldiers who often followed him made these soldiers feel heroic!
Because they followed their coach and experienced too many miraculous battles!
I know that my coach Liu Huangshu is not a person who likes to talk big.
Generally speaking, as long as the coach says something, he will be able to do it, especially in terms of fighting...
…
"It's not good! It's not good! After King Jing of Zhongshan, Uncle Liu Cheng, Liu Cheng, Jiuyuan Lu Bu, Xiliang Hua Xiong, Zhonglang General Xu Rong and others led their troops and crossed the river from Xiaopingjin!
We're about to get here!
The number of soldiers and horses they lead is no less than 20,000!"
Shrouded in darkness, the north bank of Mengjin was not quiet. On the side near the Yellow River, fires shot into the sky, and there were constant shouts of killing.
Baibo thieves Han Xian and Hu Cai led their respective troops and fought fiercely with Dong Zhuo's troops who kept coming to attack the camp.
At this time, in the relatively quiet Baibo bandits' rear camp, some soldiers ran in panic from outside, shouting as loudly as they could.
Behind these panicked soldiers wearing white bandit armor, Liu Cheng led his troops and horses, following closely behind them, rolling in!
As these "robbery" people came back, the "Baibo bandit soldiers" shouted loudly, and Liu Cheng and others rushed in after them. The Baibo bandits' rear camp, which seemed relatively quiet, suddenly exploded into panic.
Become a ball!
In fact, a Baibo bandit general in the rear camp was so frightened that he covered his hands with fear after hearing the names of a series of generals who were extremely famous among Dong Zhuo, as well as the number of soldiers and horses they led.
He stopped at his heart, fell to the ground, and kept twitching...
The chaos in the Baibo thief's rear camp suddenly became chaotic with the loud shouts of the soldiers who pretended to be fleeing, and the subsequent charge and killing by Liu Cheng and others.
Moreover, this chaos is still extending further and becoming more intense!
Liu Cheng took the lead and rushed to the front. He stirred the big iron halberd in his hand one after another. In a short time, he broke through the obstacle in front of him and rushed into the enemy camp.
Many soldiers and horses who followed Liu Cheng had already ignited the fire starters they had prepared in advance.
After rushing into the Baibo bandits' camp, they began to set fire to the camp.
This is a commonly used and extremely effective method when attacking a camp!
As the blazing flames ignited, the Baibo Thieves' back village suddenly became more chaotic!
…
At this time, Xu Huang, who was in the Baibo Thieves' Zhongzhai, ordered his troops and horses, and was about to leave, heading to the bank of the Yellow River to help resist the powerful frontal offensive. When he heard the noise coming from the rear stronghold, his face suddenly darkened.
Come down.
The bloodshot eyes due to days of fighting became even redder at this time!
"Go and tell Commander Yang to quickly mobilize troops and horses to support the front stronghold and defend the middle stronghold!"
Xu Huang hurriedly explained to a soldier beside him.
Then he hurriedly ordered: "Everyone, stop moving forward! Follow me to kill the rear camp! Stop the enemy from committing crimes! Keep the rear camp from being lost!
If the opponent comes in a hurry, there won't be too many soldiers and horses. As long as I wait for myself to stay calm, I will definitely be able to eat him!"
After that, he urged his five thousand soldiers and horses to head towards the rear camp.
"The shield comes first, the archers, and the spearmen last..."
During the march, Xu Huang ordered again to adjust the troops and horses...
Xu Huang and the rest of the Baibo thieves have recently been attacking Dong Zhuo's men across the river to prevent Dong Zhuo's men from landing on the land.
Xu Huang was just preparing to bring troops and horses to support Qianzhai on the edge of the Yellow River, so his men brought a lot of shields, bows, arrows, and spears.
…
"Erect a shield wall!"
"Archers at the ready!"
When Xu Huang led his men and horses and quickly rushed to the rear camp, more than half of Nuo Da's rear camp was already in chaos.
Seeing this, Xu Huang, after letting his troops advance a little further, immediately ordered his soldiers to set up a defense here to block the chaos.
These soldiers holding large shields acted according to Xu Huang's orders, and in a short time, a shield wall was erected here!
There are many small holes between the shield walls for shooting arrows and thrusting spears out.
After the shield wall was erected, the archers and spearmen immediately began to return to their positions.
From the actions of these soldiers and horses, it can be seen that this is indeed a well-trained army, far beyond what ordinary bandits can match.
While doing this, Xu Huang also asked people to shout loudly, calling on the soldiers in the rear village who were killed by Liu Cheng's troops or ran away in fear, not to be afraid and to maintain order.
The moment Xu Huang led his troops over, Liu Chenggong had already discovered it.
After identifying the person who came to lead the troops to intercept through the waving flag illuminated by the fire, Liu Cheng couldn't help but become solemn.
He immediately called for troops and horses, and followed him to kill Xu Huang and others who were still a short distance away from him and others, and had begun to set up a defense line.
However, there were many white wave thieves blocking them, which slowed down his speed. In addition, Xu Huang's soldiers and horses were well-trained and built the shield wall very quickly. Before Liu Cheng could summon the soldiers and horses to kill them, they were already there.
Construction is complete.
Therefore, Liu Cheng had to change his plan.
He began to use his soldiers and horses to drive away the scattered Baibo bandit soldiers and attack towards the shield wall built by Xu Huang and his troops.
"I am the uncle of the Han Dynasty Emperor, Liu Cheng and Liu Kede. I have always known Gongming as a man. The main reason I came here now is for Gongming.
There is no future for following the white wave thief, it will only make the road narrower and narrower!
Why doesn't Gong Ming abandon darkness and join the light?
If you don’t care about yourself, you have to care about your family!”
While ordering his soldiers to drive away the defeated troops and prepare to attack the shield wall erected by Xu Huang, Liu Cheng also let go of his loud voice and shouted to Xu Huang!
Regarding Liu Cheng's words, Xu Huang couldn't help but feel hesitant.
He never expected that Uncle Liu Huang, who had become famous in recent times, would actually say such things to him!
"Open the bow! Release the arrow!"
Xu Huang did not answer Liu Cheng's words. After asking someone to warn the defeated troops who were driven here, he simply gave the order to release arrows!
