Chapter 1246 Xu Huang Evacuates

In Hukou Town, a thousand generals were leading their soldiers and horses fifty steps away from the town wall, waiting for the Tang Army's catapults to stop attacking. In front of them, the Tang Army's stone bullets were like hail, falling from the town wall. The outside smashed in. In front of them, from the town wall to within a dozen steps in front of them, there were the impact points of stone bullets. Countless stone bullets fell from the sky, hitting the sky in front of them and causing dust to fly all over the place. The town seemed to be covered in dust.

"General, the Tang Army's offensive is too strong! Can we really hold it?" A commander next to him looked at the situation in front of him and asked his captain in a low voice;

"We must defend even if we can't. It's not like you don't know. The Lord gave us the order before we set off. We must obey General Xu Huang's orders. The general said we must defend, so we must defend even if we risk our lives. You kid can't do anything wrong. "You know, if you can't stop the Tang army, your whole family in Fushi City will have nothing to gain," the captain glared at his confidant.

"General, don't worry, I'm just saying this. Look at the condition of the soldiers, it's not good!"

The captain also knew that the Tang Army's overwhelming stone bombs had already made the morale of his soldiers somewhat unstable, but now he had no other choice but to bite the bullet. You know, the soldiers currently guarding the wall were all It was the Hengye Army's own soldiers and horses. Xu Huang didn't even frown for such a huge loss.

Now it is the turn of his own soldiers to hold down the wall, but he must not lose the face of the mighty army, otherwise even if he goes back, he will not gain anything good in front of his lord.

"Give me the order. When the Tang army's catapults stop attacking, they will immediately rush to the bottom of the town wall. As soon as they wait for General Xu's order, they will immediately rush to the town wall and take over the defense." The captain thought for a while and looked around. The personal guard said, "Whoever dares to retreat without a fight will have to march on the battlefield!"

"Promise!" All the soldiers agreed in unison, then turned around and left to convey the captain's orders everywhere.

Finally, the Tang Army's catapults stopped attacking, which meant that the Tang Army's infantry was almost approaching the town wall. When the captain saw this, he shouted: "Quick, quick, move immediately and rush behind the wall. Once you get there, you will be safe."

With that said, the captain took the lead, grabbed his weapon and rushed towards the wall. Along the way, the streets in the town had been hit by the Tang Army's stone bullets and were full of potholes. The captain raised his head and looked around. Now there was almost no complete building within forty steps of the town wall.

As for the dozens of stone lifts that were originally placed twenty steps behind the town wall, they have all been smashed there and turned into balls of sawdust. The surrounding soldiers have all turned into pulp and can no longer be seen. to a complete corpse.

Soon they arrived under the town wall. Just as they were about to take a breath, they heard their own bodyguard say: "General, the Chinese Army has sent an order. A gap has been opened to the west of the town gate by the Tang Army. The Chinese Army has ordered us. Send two hundred people to support.”

Upon hearing this, the captain immediately ordered: "Bingqu, go to the west of Zhenmen immediately to support the friendly forces there!"

The leader of Bingqu immediately took the order and said: "No!"

"Bingqu, go with me!"

At this time, on the town wall, about a hundred steps west of the town gate, the catapults of the Tang army had already smashed a hole several steps wide. At this time, nearly a hundred Tang soldiers had poured into the collapsed section. On the town wall, they fought together with the coalition soldiers coming from both sides.

The coaches of both sides discovered this gap immediately and responded immediately. Xu Huang immediately rushed to the Yangwei Army under the town wall and sent two hundred soldiers for support. Tian Yu's reaction was not slow. After observing the situation of the town wall, he directly ordered the B Division of School B who was preparing to support to attack. At the same time, he ordered Jinglan to advance another twenty steps and launch directly behind the town wall. Crossbow arrows to prevent the coalition reinforcements behind.

Seeing this, Xu Huang immediately ordered: "Send the order and all the troops and horses of the Yangwei Army rush to the gap to support.

Don't take a step back without an order. "

After the order was passed, Xu Huang turned to Liu Bao and said softly: "General Liu, please prepare your cavalry. If the gap cannot be blocked, we must retreat."

Liu Bao was stunned. It had only been less than a day since the war started. Was he about to retreat now? I remember when I led 10,000 to 20,000 cavalrymen to attack a small town, it took me five days and nearly a thousand warriors were lost to capture the small town. You must know that there were only more than a thousand soldiers in that small town.

There were 5,000 infantry and 4,000 cavalry in the town in front of them, but the opponent only dispatched a few thousand people, and it took less than a day to capture the town. However, even though he was puzzled, Liu Bao was frightened by the overwhelming rain of stone bullets and arrows. He thought that if he encountered such a situation, he would probably not be able to support half of his thousands of tribesmen. hour.

"Don't worry, General, a certain family will prepare immediately."

With that said, Liu Bao immediately turned around and headed towards the north gate.

After Liu Bao left, Xu Huang stared at the gap in the town wall to the south without looking back. The addition of two hundred Yangwei soldiers temporarily stabilized the defense at the gap in the town wall. However, a large wave of reinforcements from the Tang Army soon arrived, and the defense at the gap in the town wall was temporarily stabilized. The Yangwei army that had just arrived was instantly submerged in the army.

When the captain of the Yangwei Army arrived with the remaining troops, the gap in the town wall had been controlled by the Tang Army. Despite the desperate counterattack, the Yangwei Army failed to recapture the town. At this time, another wave of Tang Army had already arrived at the town. Twenty steps away from the south of the wall, the Tang army that came this time turned out to be a thousand crossbowmen.

Seeing this situation, Xu Huang was very angry. It was difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Hukou Town was still too small. Although he tried his best to maintain it, the Tang Army quickly invaded the town. With the combat power of the Tang Army, once they entered the town , the coalition forces have almost no chance.

"Hey...hey..." Xu Huang slammed the guardrail of the chariot and ordered: "Send the order, and all the armies that have not yet fought with the Tang army will retreat immediately!"

"General, what about the Yangwei army and the soldiers on the city wall?" asked the guard next to him;

Xu Huang shook his head: "They can't evacuate anymore. Let them block the Tang army for a while and buy some time for the army to evacuate!"

With that said, Xu Huang left the chariot without looking back, climbed on his horse, and headed towards the north gate of Hukou Town. Since Hukou Town could no longer be defended, he must try to save as much as possible. troops and horses to prepare for the war ahead.
