Chapter 454: The Assault Continues

When Xu Huang arrived in Xizhai, the soldiers here had just repelled another attack of the Yuan army, they were methodically transporting the wounded on the tall building to the rear, the soldiers who changed randomly climbed the high platform, and the ordnance battalion was also transporting bundles of arrows up, although it was a crowd of people coming and going, there was no noise at all, a well-organized scene, and this alone was the demeanor of a strong army!

"Erniu, how is the injury?" Seeing Xu Huang coming, all the soldiers temporarily stopped their work and saluted, except for those who transported the wounded, this is the rule in the army, at this time a stretcher passed by Xu Huang, the head of the soldier lying on it was wrapped in a white cloth, and his mouth was still scolding, that face was familiar to Xu Huang, waving his hand to let everyone continue, Xu Huang came to the stretcher and leaned down to ask softly to the injured young soldier.

"General, I. . . Hehe, it's just that my head was rubbed by a flying stone, and I broke a little skin, it looks scary and nothing at all, it's good to bandage it, I have to go down to rest, I haven't enjoyed it yet. This soldier named Erniu heard Xu Huang ask him about his injury, and his eyes immediately showed respect and gratitude, and he was about to stand up reflexively, but he was held down by Gongming, and he said at the moment, and there was a look of disgrief on his face while speaking, and he was very dissatisfied with letting him rest.

"You can fight the battle, it must make sense for the doctors and nurses to let you rest, don't fucking ignore, let's rest." Xu Huang smiled slightly, patted Erniu's shoulder lightly and said, then stood up and motioned to the soldiers carrying the stretcher to continue to send the wounded to the wounded barracks for treatment.

"General, general, my mother has sent a letter, my daughter-in-law gave birth to a son for me, eight catties, and her old man asked me to thank you." Erniu suddenly remembered something at this time, straightened up and turned around and shouted.

Xu Huang waved his hand to signal that he would not speak again, at that time, as the general of the town army of Bingzhou, according to the instructions of the lord to help the people with the army, and personally sent food to the local residents, it was a charcoal in the snow, I remember that before he left, the people of the whole village came out to kneel down and thanked each other, this kind of scene made Gongming have a little sour nose, and later recruited soldiers when this Erniu came from that village.

"General, Hou Luyang, the Third Army of the Longxiang Battalion, has seen the general." Not long after, a big man with a smoky face on his back ran over and saluted Xu Huang, he was the commander of the defense of Xizhai, and when he heard that the general had come to inspect in person, he immediately came down from the high platform to meet him.

"Well, I heard that the enemy is attacking quite strongly?" Xu Huang asked in a relaxed tone.

"It's a big fart, hehe, don't you just rely on the large number of people and complete armaments, you have the ability to pull it out and practice, and your subordinates guarantee to beat them to the bottom of the ass! General rest assured, with my old Lu here, Xizhai is as stable as Mount Tai, General, I don't know when the brothers of the Vermilion Bird Battalion will be able to come over, if there are their sky-bombing cannons in my opinion, those bastards' bed crossbows and stone carts are still a fart! Lu Yang replied loudly, perhaps because he felt that there was some rudeness in front of the general, and laughed wryly.

"You can't do it without the Suzaku Camp? If you don't, I'll replace you immediately, when will the Longxiang battalion rely on the benefits of the ordnance? Looking at Lu Yang's appearance in front of him, Xu Huang said angrily.

"Don't, don't, general, I'm stupid and can't speak, when did the soldiers of the Third Army disgrace you? It's just that I can't swallow this breath when I see my brothers die under those boulder crossbow arrows, if you can't stop it, you can cut off my head. Lu Yang waved his hand again and again when he heard this, but when he mentioned the death and injury of his brothers, his gloomy color flashed.

"Are there many casualties among the brothers?" Xu Huang's face was also pale when he heard this, and he asked again, of course he could trust the strength of his command, but when it came to defense, the Longxiang Battalion rarely did.

"Two hundred and twenty-three people were broken, and more than four hundred were injured, but those bastards are not cheap." Lu Yang said that the damage of the enemy army was shocked, and his waist was straight.

"This time the enemy army is desperate, you still have to organize the defense well, and tomorrow I will ask the White Tiger Battalion to transfer a team of brothers to help you." Xu Huang said, and finally lowered his voice.

"Hahaha, that's great, it's the same if there is no sky-piercing cannon and cloud-piercing arrows, if they dare to come tomorrow night, I have to teach them a good lesson!" Lu Yang immediately smiled when he heard this, the White Tiger Battalion's cloud-piercing arrows have always been as famous as the Vermilion Bird Battalion's sky-bombarding cannons, and they are supreme weapons on both offensive and defensive sides.

"Okay, go back to the army quickly, I'll go to the wounded barracks." After Xu Huang finished speaking, he glanced at the soldiers on the high platform and was about to leave, but when he turned around, he stopped, there were two figures on the high platform that he was very familiar with, one was Hao Zhao, who had ordered him to come here just now, but the other was Liu Huan, this front line is very dangerous, and the eldest son of the lord must not have an accident.

"Go and call Hao Junhou and his entourage down for me." Xu Huang shouted to Lu Yang who turned around and ran again, Liu Huan's identity did not spread in the Longxiang camp, and no one in the whole army knew except Xu Huang and Hao Zhao, which was also a kind of protection for him, after all, his identity was different.

Lu Yang didn't have him, he quickly ran up to the high platform and called Hao Zhao down, and when the two came closer, the person next to him was not Liu Huan, the eldest son of the lord, at this time, his dress and actions were no different from ordinary soldiers, and his face also had a calmness far beyond his age.

"General, the eldest prince said that since he has entered the camp, how can he avoid the war, the lord asked him to come to hone his training, this war is the best place, his subordinates can't say that he has to take it with him, but the general can rest assured, I will definitely be able to protect the safety of the young master." Hao Zhao saw Xu Huang's cold gaze, slightly embarrassed, and stepped forward and whispered, he cherished Liu Huan very much in his heart, and he had always regarded himself as a subordinate, even if he was broken, he could not let the young master be damaged.

"The affairs of the military family are changing rapidly, once the incident suddenly starts and you are difficult to protect, what nonsense, the safety of the eldest prince is not trivial, next time there is such a move, I will rule you with the military." Xu Huang said coldly, the lord entrusted his eldest son to himself is like a mountain of trust, although he is like an ordinary soldier, but how can it really be like this, and there is also a strategy to win a thousand miles, the eldest prince does not need to risk the arrow stone himself, he can command and break the enemy by sitting in the rear.

"No, my subordinates will receive orders." Hao Zhao naturally has no other words at this time, the general is right, if there is an accident, it will be difficult to atone for his sins, and he must not let the young master in the future.

"Liu Huan has seen the general, and his subordinates are Hao Junhou's entourage, so he should follow him to inspect the battle situation, this military routine is so! Uncle Gongming, Huan'er is also a skilled person, it's okay, my father often says that a good man should build Gongming, and Huan'er must not lose the face of the Liu family. Here, Liu Huan saw Xu Huang reprimanding Hao Zhao, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and after speaking, he lowered his voice and said to Xu Huang.

"Hmph, you are righteous and talk about military law, then let me ask you, there is a strict order that Hao Junhou is not allowed to take you into battle, but he does not respect military law now? You are familiar with the group of books, you should know the truth that the son of a daughter can't sit down, the lord often charged from the battle, but do you think he can do this now? For the generals, the way of studying the army is to be the enemy of ten thousand people, this truth was said to Bo Dao back then, how can you not know? From this day on, you will be by my side and learn the art of commanding the army. Xu Huang knows that Liu Huan has been favored by his family since he was a child, his wife teaches very strictly, and he has to invite famous teachers.

"No, my subordinates will receive orders." Liu Huan was helpless when he saw this, and bowed down to accept the order after casting an apologetic look at his senior brother, but he also knew in his heart that this was General Xu's love. After joining the army, he really saw the cruelty of war and understood his father's thoughts.

In order to suppress Liu Huan, Gongming brought out Liu Yi in his words, in recent years, the lord has rarely been in the battle formation, and sure enough, the eldest prince has nothing to say, but what he didn't expect was that Liu Yi had already gone into battle in the Lianshan War, and at the same time that the Longxiang camp was hit by Yuan Shangjun, Yuan Shao was also attacking the Beiping camp army village day and night, regardless of casualties, vowing to repel it!

The Longxiang battalion has enough time to strengthen the defense, but the Beiping battalion is the road, but there is no such convenience, there were quite a lot of casualties in the attack on Nanpi, this time to fight with Yuan Shao is to add the guard battalion is only more than 40,000 people, after a bloody battle, the soldiers who can fight at this time are only 30,000, and although the Yuan army is damaged on it, there are still more than 60,000 troops, of which the hidden 20,000 elite soldiers Liu Yi did not expect in advance, they played a great role in this offensive and defensive war, For a time, the Beiping battalion was quite passive under the fierce attack of the Yuan army in the Bohai Sea, but it could not fight hard with the enemy, let alone let it go.

"This time, Brother Benchu is really ruthless, if this continues, my army may not be able to stop him here, and then go to find out, when will the Vermilion Bird Battalion arrive, and tell Li Tieniu that he will not do his position as commander if he can't see him at noon tomorrow." Liu Yi was still in the middle of the mountain at this time to observe the battle situation below, Yuan's offensive was extremely fierce, it had lasted for a day and a night and had not stopped, the set up defense line was broken through by the other party two, the third one would be broken again It would be difficult to hold the intersection, if he was let go of the battle, it would be hindered by the battle, and he ordered the Vermilion Bird Battalion to come to help the battle that day, but I don't know why Li Tieniu had not arrived at this time, he originally wanted to come to the battle array to command, but he was stopped here by Xi Zhicai and others, and his tone of voice naturally brought some anger.

"Presumably Gao Rou was broken by Xingba Yuan Shao has already learned, this will be so reckless of losses, the day before yesterday the heavy rain mountain road slippery, I am afraid it is no wonder that Commander Li, the lord should not be anxious, it is difficult for the Yuan army to make a breakthrough within a day of watching the battle situation, as long as the Vermilion Bird Battalion arrives at our army, it can control the official road, and even if Yuan Shao breaks through the defense line of our army, he will not be able to get out." Xi Zhicai is extremely calm at this time, this arrow flying between attack and defense, it is not that you can guarantee that nothing will happen if you are superior in martial arts, the lord can not have the slightest accident, even if he lets go of Yuan Jun because of this, he will not flinch at all.

"That's the only way, Hong Biao, you take five hundred guards down to help in the war, what do you see, Lao Tzu can't point to you? If you can't stand it, don't come back. Liu Yi also knew in his heart that the military advisor was polite, so he immediately said to Hong Biao, and when he saw him looking at the military advisor with a hesitant expression, he was quite angry in his heart, and said coldly.

"No, don't worry, my lord, with my personal guard camp here, he can't break it." Hong Biao hesitated because if he took away five hundred people, there would be only one hundred people left around the lord, and he couldn't hold it back when he saw the heat of the fight below, and now seeing that the lord was angry, the military advisor also nodded slightly, and immediately promised to lead people down the mountain.
