Chapter Five Witnessing the Cruel Cao Ang(1/2)
The journey was fairly smooth until we set foot on the land of Zhongmou County.
The silence above the official road makes people feel at a loss.
"General! We still have a hundred miles to go to the county seat, and the rebels will camp ten miles east of the county seat."
On the horses, Huangfu Hao's scouts came to report.
"The army is ordered to march eighty miles quickly. We will camp ten miles away from the ant bandits to quickly relieve the danger in Zhongmou!"
Huangfu Hao stood on the carriage and gave the order quickly after thinking for a moment.
"Here..."
"General, it is certainly good to march quickly, but what if the ant thieves come to attack?"
Xu Huang followed the carriage and expressed his worries.
"It doesn't matter! Although the ant thieves have a great victory over He Miao, they have not yet conquered Zhongmou, so they must have insufficient military strength. If they dare to come and die, just annihilate them!"
"Yes, General!"
"War requires careful consideration of the situation. If the rebels set up an ambush, what would you do if it were you?"
After entering the carriage, Huangfu Hao sat next to Cao Ang.
"Scouts! Use a large number of scouts to investigate and anticipate the enemy's opportunities, so that you can fight without danger."
Cao Ang answered directly without thinking.
"Well, very good. Always remember one sentence. A smart person should not lose time, and a brave person should not hesitate. Although you are still young, your knowledge is comparable to that of some famous officials. Mengde is really lucky."
"Although you are usually naughty, you are not unkind, Zixiu! You will have great achievements in the future. Now that the emperor's ears have been deceived and the eunuchs are in power, you should take it as your own responsibility to support my Han Dynasty. After a hundred years, I hope you will
Don’t live up to the expectations placed on you!”
Huangfu Hao looked at Cao Ang as if entrusting him.
This made Cao Ang get up quickly, what are you doing? What does this old man want to do?
"Grandpa Huangfu, Your Majesty is just temporarily deceived. When you wake up one day, you will still be the mainstay of my man."
"Haha, you kid! As expected, you can know about national affairs at the age of ten! I saw you right!"
After saying that, Huangfu Hao also stood up, his playful eyes making Cao Ang tingle all over.
This old man is a little weird today! What does he want to do?
At ten years old, it seems like I have to continue pretending to be a little kid, right?
"By the way, Meng Zhuo and Dian Zhuangshi are also in Zhongmu."
I'm the second best! The macho guy is also in the middle?
Cao Ang looked at Huangfu Hao in surprise, not expecting to see him again so soon.
At first, because they were packing their bags and marching in too quickly, they only knew that He Miao was trapped, and no one told Cao Ang that Zhang Miao was also there.
So Cao Ang didn't say much. Unexpectedly, the historical deviation was a bit big, and Zhang Miao was also involved.
If Zhang Miao is here, it is impossible for Dian Wei to be here.
It seems that this operation has a code name.
Save Private Dian Wei!
Zhang Miao, who watched Cao Ang grow up, was ignored again...
It was indeed a rapid march. In less than two hours, the shadow of Zhongmu County could be seen on the hillside.
One scout after another reported the latest battle reports to Huangfu Hao in real time during the march.
The most fortunate thing to disappear is that Zhongmu County was firmly defended by He Miao and Zhang Miao, preventing the rebels from breaking through the city gate.
But now the situation in the city is not optimistic. There are only eight or nine hundred Han troops left, and 30% of them are injured. If the rebels continue to fight desperately to attack the city, I am afraid that the city will only be broken in a matter of seconds.
More than 3,000 rebels are currently gathering, and they may attack the city again in two hours at most.
"Renovate for half an hour, light a fire and make food, and annihilate the rebels in one go!"
After Huangfu Hao got hold of the news inside and outside the city, he quickly made arrangements and the army came to an abrupt halt.
This is the discipline under the command of a famous general: follow orders and prohibitions, and strictly abide by military orders.
"Do you know why you want to attack the rebels directly?"
Cao Ang was very moved. Along the way, Huangfu Songcong began to march, how to lead the army, and what the army should pay attention to during the march.
They all explained the reasons for doing this to Cao Ang one by one. Along the way, Cao Ang was directly promoted from level one to level eight.
"Fighting requires courage. One burst of strength will weaken again, and three times it will be exhausted. When the opponent is exhausted, I will be full, so I can overcome it."
This time Cao Ang was particularly well-behaved. He did not ask for a beating, but quoted classics.
"Shan! This battle is a small battle. As long as he is not a fool like He Miao, basically anyone can win. But win! There must be a distinction. Big victory and small victory are related to the lives of the soldiers. As a general,
Make prompt decisions, have a stable heart at all times, don't panic when encountering problems, stay calm! These are the most basic elements of being a general!"
"Grandpa Huangfu taught Ang'er a lesson, and Ang'er remembered it."
"General, the rebels are preparing to attack the city!"
After finishing their meal, the army was slowly advancing, and the scouts brought the latest news.
"Gongming! Take two thousand people and go straight to the rebel camp, leaving no one behind!"
"Here!"
"The entire army obeys the order! The target is Zhongmu County! Completely wipe out the rebels!"
A team separated from the main army and quickly rushed to the east of the county. The speed of the main army was getting faster and faster. Cao Ang on the carriage clenched his fist tightly.
"The first battle! Here we come!"
"Enemy attack!"
With an alarm sound, the officers and soldiers in Zhongmou County quickly arrived at the designated location.
"This battle! We must defend to the death! Reinforcements are coming soon!"
Zhang Miao stood on the city wall and shouted at the top of his lungs.
While shouting, I looked for He Miao's shadow. What's worse! This product disappeared at the most critical moment!
"Sir! He Miao is missing, what should I do?"
When Wei Zi came back from under the city wall, he obviously didn't find He Miao either!
"Damn! This idiot is greedy for life and afraid of death! The rebels are about to attack, let's hold on for a while! I will skin him when we get back!"
Zhang Miao's eyes were red. As a general, he actually escaped from the battle!
"kill……"
Following a shout from outside the city, the rebels rushed towards the city wall like ants.
The attack at the cost of suicide was not without achievements. After losing hundreds of people, the rebels climbed onto the ladder. The defense intensity became weaker and weaker, and more and more rebels climbed up the ladder.
"Sir! There are rebels on the city wall in the west of the city!"
"Horse rider! Dian Wei! Go to the west wall of the city and kill the enemy!"
"Let Weis go! I'll stay and protect you!"
"You... okay, Wei Zi goes to the west wall."
"Here!"
Wei Zi took away more than a hundred of the few defenders. Now rebels have climbed up the ladder at Zhang Miao, which has the strongest defense. The disadvantage of insufficient manpower has become apparent.
"Sir! Look there!"
After Zhang Miao struggled to kill a rebel who tried to climb the city wall, a voice came from behind.
Zhang Miao wiped his eyes, dust was flying in the distance, and a big flag first came into view!
"Huangfu!" The two words are particularly eye-catching!
"Reinforcements are coming! Reinforcements are coming!"
Zhang Miao stood on the city wall, shouting loudly, it's not easy! Finally, the clouds cleared and the sun rose.
"Dian Wei! Get off the city wall! I want to fight out!"
"Here!"
"Archers attack in five waves!"
Huangfu Song's reinforcements arrived. Seeing that some people had already climbed onto the city wall, Huangfu Song quickly issued an order.
"Whizzing……"
Arrows were shot out one after another, and thousands of arrows directly covered most of the rebels' range.
"Ah...ah..."
To be continued...
