Three Kingdoms: Shocked, my father-in-law is Cao Cao!

Chapter 72: Xia Houjie's Ambition

The sentinel on the city wall was awakened by the sudden attack, and rushed up the city wall before putting on the armor.

"These guys dare to come and shoot me hard!"

The archers kept releasing the short bows in their hands, and the dense rain of arrows poured down, and there were bursts of mourning from time to time under the city.

"Get more torches! Light the torches!"

Because the moonlight was blocked, it was impossible to see how many enemy troops were under the city for a while, which also made unnecessary "blind shooting" unable to bring effective damage to the attacking party.

"Archer light the fire, let it go!"

The original sharp iron arrows were replaced with arrow branches wrapped in oilcloth, and they turned into fire dragons and flew into the sky.

It was inserted into the ground, and hundreds of small fire balls appeared in an instant. Cooperating with the torches that had just been drawn on the wall, the outline of the attacking party had emerged vaguely.

"Report to the city gate captain, the enemy army under the city seems to have only a thousand people, and there are many casualties."

With the help of the fire, the city gate captain, who was still unarmored, poked his head out of the city wall. This was a very dangerous move, but it allowed him to observe the enemy better.

"Great!" Chengmen Lieutenant slammed his hand heavily on the arrow stack, as if the enemy army under the city was already in his hands.

"Come on, hurry up and notify the infantry and cavalry in the city, let them quickly come out from the side door, and attack this group of enemy troops together!"

"promise."

The sergeant who received the password walked like flying, and ran away without a trace.

...

Under the city wall, General Xiahou was still fighting fiercely. Judging from the strength of the counterattack of the city wall defenders, the number of guards was definitely not vulnerable.

——Is the information wrong?Could it be that Jiang Zhe is lying to the general?
A chill surged in his heart. Could it be that this yellow-haired child who has always been obedient is so vicious in his heart?

"General, a team of 100 people has put the ladder on the city wall, do you want to order an attack?"

The sudden report made Xia Houjie have no time to think about other things. He wanted to take a chance, even if he only took down a section of the city wall, as long as he survived until the soldiers sent back to attract reinforcements would be considered a success.

As for whether Jiang Zhe lied to him sincerely, as long as he can go back alive, he will definitely be tortured.

"There are enemy troops!"

Before the voice of the shouting pawn fell, he chopped off with a sharp knife, and his head was already in a different place.

"Come on, stop this group of Cao Jun, and everyone who kills the enemy's head will be rewarded with ten coins!"

Also under the cover of night, Xia Houjie did not notice the enemy cavalry rushing out from the side door, and the sound of horseshoes could already be heard clearly when he found an enemy attack.

——It's over, it's over, is this the place where the general is buried?

Recalling the first battle in Qingzhou, the [-] army was defeated like a tide shortly after contacting the enemy. Fortunately, the cronies around them were able to escape in time.

However, before he ran far, a group of Yuan Jun's cavalry who had ambushed in advance suddenly rushed out, and all his cronies died fighting hard, so he was able to escape back to Beihai in embarrassment.

—Yes, what does it matter if you run again?As long as I can go back to Xudu and find my brothers meeting with the prime minister, I will definitely give you a book to see whether you are Jiang Zhe or something.

Then take over your army and let them serve me, and then kill this Yuan Xi to avenge my shame!
"The whole army retreats, quickly!"

After finally making up his mind, Xia Houjie dragged a few soldiers beside him to protect him, and was about to flee for his life.

But how easy is this?I want to run away when I come here, thinking that Linzi City is a cafeteria.

Yuan Jun's cavalry fought desperately, and a few hundred people rushed into the thousands of infantry, clinging to Xia Houjie who wanted to retreat.

The confidant next to Xia Houjie raised his shield and tried his best to block the incoming arrows, "General, I'm afraid we won't be able to run away, you go first and we'll finish off."

What a loyal speech, the bloody man on the other side wants to shed his last drop of blood for this "bear".

"General, run away, leave us alone!" The bloody man turned his head to look at his comrades beside him, "A cat and a dog, you and I will send the general back together."

"it is good!"

Two strong men also approached, and the three formed a solid shield wall, fighting and retreating.

They were all servants accompanied by Xia Houjie since he was a child, and they were all children of tenant farmers. To them, being a servant of a young master was a blessing in their previous lives.

Although this "big gift" general has a bad temper, and often gets angry and even insults and punishes him because of trivial things, but starving like ordinary tenant farmers is a pain that they can't understand.

After a bloody battle, they finally escaped with the company of the three of them. If they were one step too late, Yuan Jun's infantry would tear them to pieces with the claws of tigers and wolves.

Xia Houjie secretly rejoiced that, unlike those soldiers who had died in the city, even if they lost their last bit of family wealth, at least they were still alive.

As long as he is alive, more troops can be dispatched to him. He wants revenge, no matter whether it is Yuan Xi or Jiang Zhe, he will kill all of them.

"General, drink some water to calm down the shock."

"Go away! Bring the wine!"

Xia Houjie knocked over the bloody water bag on Agou's body, showing no mercy, even for his own savior.

The battle not far away gradually subsided, and Xia Houjie's peace of mind also calmed down. He waved for the three of them to come and talk.

"Amao, Agou, Aniu, you three have been with me for more than ten years. When you return to Yingben this time, the general will reward you very much!"

The three immediately knelt down, "Thank you General for your kindness!"

Xia Houjie suddenly felt that these three guys who he usually thought of as insignificant had an inexplicable sense of intimacy, so he simply wanted to be a good person and help them up one by one.

"Okay, these rewards are what you deserve. As long as you work hard, you will be indispensable to prosperity and wealth in the future, and even a food town is not a problem."

The honest men couldn't tell whether the words were fake or not, they just looked at each other and showed heartfelt smiles.

Even Ah Niu, who had never shed tears in front of everyone, rarely wiped the corners of his eyes twice.

Ah Mao's eyes were sharp, and he saw the tears at a glance, "Old Niu, you should be happy that the general gave you a reward, but why are you crying instead?"

"Don't make fun of me, I'm happy."

Life and death are seen in adversity, and the relationship between master and servant has never been so harmonious, but I don't know how long this relationship can last.

"Yo, so there are still people alive."

The obviously unfriendly words of the comer made the expressions of the four of them tense again.

Xia Houjie sized up the young man on the horse, "So it's Zheng Yi, are you not afraid that I'll kill you for speaking so rudely just now?"

"Behead me? Hahahaha, I lived well when I was in Beihai Mansion, let alone now."

When Zheng Yi's expression changed, his eyes were like the most vicious poison in the world, revealing the fate of these people in front of him.

A Niu and the others are worthy of being veterans who have experienced many battles, and they immediately smelled the danger.
