One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 188 Huangshi Cliff Changes Owner

Six miles east of Huangshiya Iron Mine, there is a mountain named Laohuai Mountain. There is an old locust tree growing on the mountainside, hence the name.

The official road from Lu County to Zhangzi County passes at the foot of the south side of Laohuai Mountain, and divides into two parts at the southwest corner, one leading to Zhangzi County and the other leading to Huangshiya Iron Mine.

It is said to be an official road, but limited by the terrain, it is actually not wide and not very flat.If two carriages are heading towards each other, they can barely stagger.

The road leading to Huangshiya was built later, probably for the convenience of transportation, but the road is wider than the official road.

It's early winter, the grass and trees are all dry, and everywhere you look, there's a sense of solemnity.

At the foot of the east side of Laohuai Mountain, a large army lined up in a long line, standing quietly on the official road.There were about 800 troops in the army, but there was no sound.

At the front of the team, there were more than 300 people wearing Huns leather armor, but only the 50 people at the front had real Huns faces.Those soldiers further behind, anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that the Han people are pretending to be Huns.

Among the forty or fifty real Huns in front, there were also seven or eight Han Chinese faces.

This complex army is the second echelon led by Xu Huang and Lu Jun.

Qin Yi's plan for today's operation is divided into two parts. He, Zhao Yun and Pei Ji are the first echelon, leading more than 100 people from Mengxiqu, responsible for capturing the county government of the eldest son; Xu Huang and Lu Jun are the second echelon, leading the Xiongnu There were about 800 soldiers captured and Jiangdong soldiers, and they were responsible for capturing the Huangshiya Iron Mine.

Although Xu Huang and Lu Jun led many troops, their task was heavy. After capturing the Huangshiya Iron Mine, they had to rush to the eldest son county immediately to support Qin Yi, Zhao Yun, and Pei Ji.

If the plan goes well, the two sides should cooperate internally and externally to win the eldest son county in one fell swoop.If the plan doesn't go well, Xu Huang and Lu Jun will be Qin Yi's last resort.He wanted to force Qiu Xi with a large army to suppress the city, and let him and Zhao Yun leave Zhangzi County.

Taking a step back, if Qin Yi and the others were wrong in their deduction, and Qiu Xi had no conspiracy but sincerely invited him to the banquet, then Xu Huang and Lu Jun would also want to capture the Huangshiya Iron Mine.The Huangshiya Iron Mine was originally located in Lu County. Since Qiu Xi dared to seize it, Qin Yi didn't mind taking it back with a strong stance.

As for the lack of information, after Xu Huang and Lu Jun captured the Huangshiya Iron Mine, they would lead troops to Zhangzi County. At that time, Qin Yi would be a villain and threaten Qiu Xi with soldiers to admit the established facts, sign the alliance under the city, and hand over Huangshi Ya iron mine.

…………

Xu Huang and Lu Jun led the army and quietly approached Laohuai Mountain, which was only six miles away from the Huangshiya Iron Mine, and only three or four miles away from the iron mine garrison.If it wasn't blocked by the mountains, if the vision was good, Xu Huang and the others would have been exposed long ago.

At the foot of the mountain ahead, a Jiangdong soldier turned out from the intersection and walked quickly in front of Xu Huang and Lu Jun.

"Lieutenant Xu County, Lieutenant Lu, the defenders of Huangshiya Iron Mine are the same as usual." The soldier reported to Xu Huang and Lu Jun.

"Understood, join the ranks!" Xu Huang nodded.

"No!" The soldier followed the order.

"Xu County Lieutenant, make an appointment. The County Lord and Zhao County Cheng should have entered Changzi County by now. Let's take action." Lu Jun said to Xu Huang.

"it is good!"

Xu Huang immediately turned his head and ordered loudly to the army behind: "Brothers, work!"

After speaking, he took the lead and led the forty or fifty Huns forward.

The entire army also moved immediately, following Xu Huang forward.

At this time, there was still some distance from the defenders, and Xu Huang's army did not charge, but was still on foot.

It takes only a while to travel three or four miles.

The checkpoint one mile away from the Huangshiya garrison barracks first spotted Xu Huang's army.Because the people in front of the army were all dressed as Huns, this made the soldiers in the checkpoint very confused.They were all thinking: Didn't the Huns have already been beaten away by the county magistrate of Lu County, why did they come back again?

Because of this, they did not call the police to the barracks immediately, but all looked towards Xu Huang's army.

"Charge-" Xu Huang gave the order without hesitation and immediately led the charge.

Those Hun soldiers and captives were also cavalry, and as soon as they charged, they arrived at the checkpoint in an instant.There were only 30 enemy troops stationed at the checkpoint. Before they could react, they were beheaded and killed by Xu Huang and the Huns.

These Xiongnu soldiers had no national concept, and had been attached to the Han Dynasty for many years. After being captured, they were served by Qin Yi with sticks and carrots. They joined Qin Yi and became Qin Yi's "Foreign Legion".

Before taking action, Qin Yi once told Xu Huang to try to cause as little killing as possible.Firstly, Qin Yi comes from a later generation, and in his conception he respects life very much. Although he has to die in war, it is good to minimize casualties; One more soldier of his own.

However, in order to quickly approach the enemy's barracks, Xu Huang didn't care about these things. He swung his big ax on the horse, swiped left and right, and beheaded the two enemy soldiers standing in front of him.

Those Huns were even more fierce and merciless in their attacks.The [-] or [-] checkpoint garrisons were all killed before they understood what was going on.

After Xu Huang led the team through the checkpoint, he saw the barracks of the Huangshiya defenders at a glance.Without stopping, he continued to charge forward.

The brigade behind Xu Huang also charged with all their might.

This place happened to be located in a valley, but it was an open land. The army formed in motion and rushed towards the defenders' barracks.

As I said before, the barracks of the Huangshiya garrison is just across the road. Although there are camp gates in the front and back, they will not be closed during the day.At this time, the gate of the barracks was also wide open.

The sentry at the gate of the camp suddenly saw the "Huns" attacking, and was stunned for a while, just like the soldiers at the checkpoint before.

But there were also people who were very clear-headed, and when they saw those "Huns" approaching menacingly, they immediately yelled and wanted to close the camp gate.

It was already late, the barracks was only a mile away from the outpost, this distance was just a blink of an eye for the cavalry charging at full speed.

Xu Huang rode forward and rushed into the camp, followed by nearly a hundred cavalry.

"Control the camp gate!"

Xu Huang gave the order and immediately led the cavalry to kill all the sentries at the camp gate and control the camp gate.

Although the footsteps of the infantry were slow, the distance was too short after all, so they caught up quickly.

The military camp was suddenly attacked by a large army and immediately fell into chaos.The soldiers were running around, the officers couldn't find the soldiers, the soldiers couldn't find the officers, and they were fighting on their own.

Xu Huang led the cavalry to fight fiercely in the camp, rushed to the back gate in an instant, and controlled the camp gate.Now it's better, the entire military camp is covered in dumplings, and the enemy soldiers can't escape even if they want to.

After the infantry rushed into the barracks, they immediately broke up and fought in small groups of ten or twenty.

The battle ended quickly, and the defenders almost hurriedly resisted, then knelt down and surrendered one after another.Their troops were already smaller than Xu Huang's, and they were attacked suddenly, without command and coordination, and their combat effectiveness was almost zero. The only way to save their lives was to surrender.

Xu Huang didn't have time to count the results of the battle, so he ordered Lu Jun to lead 150 people to guard the prisoners and clean up the battlefield. He immediately led the remaining 700 people to withdraw from the barracks and head for Changzi County.
