Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 181 Occupying Hongnong
Guo Si sent another [-] soldiers, so that the siege troops reached [-]. It can be seen that he really wanted to use the bandits to besiege Hu County and take down Hongnong City in one fell swoop.

It's a pity that Guo Bang didn't know that the Hu County was a trap set by Liu Yu. Han Li's 5000 people had already gone and never returned, and at this moment on the city wall of Hongnong, Liu Yu also prepared a trap for him. A "big gift"!
On the city wall, Xu Huang has always been at the forefront of commanding the battle situation. He is a famous general in history. On the premise that all the equipment and weapons are in order, defending the city is a piece of cake for him.

When he saw that Guo Bang sent another new force approaching, he felt that it was time to strike the enemy head-on.

Xu Huang drew out his saber and raised it above his head, and then he could see about four thousand soldiers standing out from behind the female wall in an instant.

Each of the four thousand soldiers had a longbow, and after the sharp arrows were strung, they aimed at the Xiliang soldiers below the city.

"The whole army obeys the order. There is no need to spare any strength for me to shoot at will. I must not let an enemy attack the city wall!" Xu Huang swung his sword forward vigorously, and the four thousand bows immediately started to move.

Each of the [-] archers had more than ten sharp arrows in their quiver, and if they shot all of them, that would be [-] arrows.

And under the narrow and crowded city walls, [-] arrows can easily shoot thousands of people into hedgehogs!

At this time, Guo Bang, who was watching the battle on the opposite side, saw countless archers suddenly appearing on the city wall, and was frightened and fell to the ground on the spot.

"Where did such an archer come from in the city? And such an astonishing aura is not like Baibo bandit soldiers at all!"

Guo Si didn't have time to think about it and quickly called the messenger, "Quickly call the gold, let the former army retreat quickly!"

Beating the drums to charge, and calling gold to withdraw the troops, Guo Si saw that the situation on the city wall was not right, so he had the intention to retreat.

It's a pity that his reaction was still not as fast as the bow and arrow. After only five rounds of shooting, there were no living enemy soldiers in front of the city gate.

Nearly [-] Xiliang soldiers were shot and killed in just half a cup of tea time, which shocked the few bandit leaders watching the battle on the tower.

"Why is Marshal Guo standing still? Why don't you hurry up and send troops out of the city to take advantage of the victory!" Xu Huang yelled at the tower, which woke them up.

"Yes, Commander, this is the best time to go out of the city to fight back, and the last general is willing to be the vanguard!" Han Siam clasped his fists to fight, but Mrs. Guo looked outside the city with a little hesitation. He was still worried about the strength of the bandits. No, going out of the city may cause loss of soldiers and generals.

At this moment, Xu Huang ran over angrily, and asked, "If we don't fight now, when will we wait? Besides, my men have already shot all the arrows, so I must find a way to go to the city to collect arrows!"

Mrs. Guo also understood that the reason for the victory in this battle was not only because of the Xiliang army's underestimation of the enemy, but also because of the long-range strikes of those archers.

So he didn't dare to hesitate anymore, and immediately ordered Han Xian to lead [-] bandit soldiers out of the city to charge for a while.

Han Xian received the order and was about to turn around, but was bumped by a messenger soldier, "Han Shuai, please forgive me, the villain is so happy that he didn't stop!"

Han Xian was too lazy to argue with him, patted his clothes and asked casually, "What made you so happy?"

"Reporting to Marshal Guo and Marshal Han Qu, good news came from Hu County, the military commander Meng Xin wiped out the enemy general Han Li's soldiers and horses, and is rushing out of the city at this moment!"

Hearing the news, Mrs. Guo and Han Xian all raised their heads and laughed happily, but Xu Huang who was on the side showed an intriguing expression.

……

As soon as the city gate was opened, [-] Baibo soldiers launched a fierce attack on Guo Bang's camp. It may be that the great victory under the city wall inspired these bandits and let them see that Guo Bang's army is not invincible.

So when they charge, they appear braver and more confident than ever.

Fighting on the battlefield is full of momentum, Han Xian led the bandits to take advantage of the victory to attack, but Guo Si's army lost their fighting spirit because of the disastrous defeat just now.

In addition, Guo Si ordered Mingjin's entire army to withdraw from the camp, so he was caught off guard by the bandits on the spot.

The thieves are not strong enough, but 2 people are enough, and the sound of 2 people charging and shouting to kill even veterans will be scared when they hear it.

Therefore, the beginning of the battle was even better than expected. The Baibo thief killed two or three thousand Xiliang soldiers with only a small amount of troops.

After rushing for a while, Han Xian found that the morale of his men was available, but the Xiliang soldiers became more and more chaotic, so he ordered to continue the onslaught.

Guo Tai, the leader of the thieves on the top of the city tower, saw that the battle situation under the city was obviously superior, so he gave pointers to his subordinates happily, as if all the victories were due to his on-the-spot command.

At this time, Xu Huang sent another good news to Mrs. Guo.

Yang Feng is here, and he has brought thousands of reinforcements!

As soon as Mrs. Guo heard that her most reliable assistant had arrived, she immediately ordered to open the west city gate and took Xu Huang to greet her.

"Today is really a blessing in disguise. General Xu Huang repelled Guo Si's army, his military advisor Meng Xin destroyed the Ministry of Rites, and at this moment, he ushered in the reinforcements of Chief Yang. Now Hongnong City is as solid as gold and no longer afraid of anyone. attack!"

Mrs. Guo watched the reinforcements slowly enter the city, while stroking her beard and laughing happily, she looked for Yang Feng's figure in the crowd.

It's just that Yang Feng didn't look at it, but suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and saw Xu Huang's long sword hit his neck at some point.

"General Xu, what are you doing?"

"kill you!"

Xu Huang cut off Mrs. Guo's head without much nonsense, and then all the soldiers around Mrs. Guo were chopped into meat by Xu Huang's men, and the new soldiers who entered the city quickly took control of the west city The city defense near the gate.

The new troops were not Yang Feng's men, because Yang Feng himself had been kidnapped by Xu Huang and sent to Hu County, so the soldiers entering the city at this time were the private soldiers of the big clan commanded by Xun Yu.

"Mr. Xun is finally here, what should we do next!"

"Hehe, of course they are going to occupy the whole city!"

The leader of the bandits, Mrs. Guo, was dead, and the other commander, Han Xian, was fighting with Guo Si's army outside the city, so when Xu Huang led his troops to launch a surprise attack on the city, the [-] bandit soldiers left behind hardly made any resistance. Kneeled and surrendered.

From Yang Feng's arrest, to Xu Huang pretending to be Yang Feng's subordinates and sneaking into Hongnong City, to joining forces with Xun Yu in the city at this moment, Liu Yu did not know how many times the whole plan was deduced. Even Guo Si's army's morale dropped rapidly after being frustrated. As well as the different reactions of several thieves, Liu Yu's calculations were extremely accurate.

It was precisely because of this that Hongnong City was captured so easily and smoothly.

……

The battle inside the city ended soon, but the fighting outside the city has just reached its most intense moment.

After Guo Si's army withstood the initial offensive, it gradually stabilized its position.And under Guo Bang's personal command, they also began to change from defense to counterattack.

The thief general Han Xian saw that the situation was not good and was about to lead his troops back to the city. At this moment, there was a sudden cry of killing from behind Guo Si's army.

"That's great, it must be that Mengxin, who ambushed Hu County, has brought back his troops!" As soon as he saw the reinforcements, Han Xian gave up retreating and prepared to attack on both sides with the Mengxin Ministry.

The reason why Han Xian is so confident is because he heard the words of the messenger soldier when he left the city. Unfortunately, he didn't know that the good news brought by the messenger soldier was not complete, because Meng Xin had already been persuaded by Liu Yu to retreat to the south.

At the same time, Guo Bang also discovered that there was an extra force behind him. Could these be Han Li's troops who solved the siege of Hu County?

In order to ensure that the army coming behind him was not a Baibo thief, Guo Si rode on his horse and looked as far as possible, and then he saw that the leader was the lieutenant general Guo Zhen.

Although he didn't see Han Li's figure, it was the same when he saw Guo Zhen, so Guo Si took it for granted that his reinforcements were coming behind him.

"The two generals Guo Zhen and Han Li are bringing troops to help, my sons and daughters, kill all the bandits in front of me!"

Both Guo Si and Han Xian misunderstood the troops behind as their own reinforcements, and they both wanted to take the opportunity to eat each other, so the two troops fought in a melee again.

It's a pity that they were all wrong. The troops who came were not their reinforcements, but the Ma's army commanded by Liu Yu himself!
