Chapter 626 Seeking Help

It turned out that the two of them opened the alliance channel as soon as they returned to the game, so everyone knew that they were back.

Huangfu Chaobo was stunned after hearing what Jia Jing said, and said: "Ah, we stayed in the dungeon for a month. Isn't it true that the dungeon will not affect the main line time? Oh, how much time will be delayed?" After that, he immediately entered the alliance channel. After staying in the yard for a while, the two women felt very bored, so they asked the people left by Meng Ping to lead them to the island.

As soon as I entered the alliance channel, I heard the knight talking: "Boss, you finally showed up, hurry up and save me!"

"What's going on?" Huangfu Chaobo was stunned and said: "Your county was pretty good some time ago. Is it lost now? No, there is no such powerful force around Shuofang that can capture your county?"

"Ah..." The knight jumped up and said when he heard what Huangfu Chaobo said: "Boss, can you say a few good words? Are you so eager for my county to be lost?..."

"Stop!" Seeing his posture and the tendency to talk endlessly, Huangfu Chaobo saw this and shouted; I didn't feel it before, but since I got familiar with him, Huangfu Chaobo found that the knight was actually a chatterbox and a little bit of a middle school student, but one thing is that he is much smarter than Xiaojiejie, which is why he can stand out among the lord players.

"I won't support the wall, but I will support you, okay? Big brother, if you have something to say, just say it..." Huangfu Chaobo said helplessly;

After a lot of chattering, Huangfu Chaobo finally figured out the whole story. Since the end of grain planting in March, the knight asked Gao Lan and Qu Bei to lead troops to sweep the surrounding areas. In the first few days, the two generals did wipe out many small tribes and brought back a lot of people.

But as time went by, there were basically no small tribes in the surrounding dozens of miles, so the knight turned to resettle the people in the abandoned villages around. Although the farming period has passed, it is necessary to prepare for the future.

It was still very good at first, starting from the villages close to the county town, and slowly expanding to the east, west and north. For the sake of safety, Fu Xun only arranged dozens of villagers in each village. What they did in advance was to tidy up the abandoned villages and then establish a preliminary defense. For safety reasons, he also arranged a team of soldiers and a squad of cavalry in each small village.

In their opinion, with these soldiers and villagers, there were more than a hundred people in total. If they found a small group of people invading, they could basically handle it. If they encountered a slightly larger number of soldiers, more than a hundred people could defend for a day and a half, and if the cavalry asked for help, it would take only one or two hours to arrive. In the next month, they had begun to settle in nearly a dozen villages.

However, in mid-April, suddenly one night, a village about twenty miles west of Guangmu was suddenly attacked, and the villagers and the remaining soldiers were emptied, and the village was burned down again.

The next day, the knight sent the soldiers to search the surrounding area for dozens of miles, but still found nothing. Just when everyone thought that this was done by horse thieves, that night, two more villages were burned down.

On the third day, in just a few days, the knight lost nearly two hundred civilians and more than one hundred soldiers. You know, the ordinary people that the knight brought from Luoyang totaled only 20,000 to 30,000 people, and the soldiers were only 5,000 to 6,000. It took only two days to lose hundreds of people. This result made the knight feel distressed for a long time.

Seeing this, Fu Xun also reacted immediately. This should be the work of the surrounding grassland tribes. He also responded immediately. His original intention was to let all the people and soldiers sent out abandon those villages that were too small and had poor defense capabilities, return to the county first, and control the county and the surrounding 20-li area first before expanding the scope.

But the knight could not resist the persistence of the knight.

In the end, the remaining nearly ten villages were concentrated in a larger town 40 miles north of Guangmu County, called Xiangyang Fort.

Xiangyang Fort is a town about the size of a small town. It is a relatively large village around Guangmu. When the area is the most prosperous, it is best to have a scale of two to three thousand people. This is already a very large village in the north.

The reason why this place was chosen is that the area is large enough, and the four walls of Xiangyang Fort are basically intact. After a little tidying up, one or two thousand people and soldiers are enough to resist the attack of thousands of enemies for several days. Fu Xun believes that after the previous battle of his army and several days of inspection, there are no more than thousands of troops around Guangmu.

And the distance of more than 40 miles, thousands of cavalry can reach in just one hour, so they are fully capable of defending.

Just when the knight thought that this time had been arranged properly, who knew that it was quiet for only two days. Two days later, one late night, Guangmu City received an urgent call for help from Xiangyang Fort, saying that thousands of Hu cavalry were attacking Xiangyang Fort, and the enemy's attack was very urgent, asking for emergency support from the city.

It is a taboo for military strategists to send troops late at night, but the knight was reluctant to leave the more than 1,000 people and nearly 1,000 soldiers in Xiangyang Fort. In desperation, he had to order Gao Lan and two others to lead the cavalry to help. However, he repeatedly asked Gao Lan to act cautiously, and so far he gave all the 500 guards in his hands to Gao Lan to fight together.

Gao Lan was a cautious person, so after leading the troops to help, he did not underestimate the enemy and advance rashly, but ordered the army to march cautiously. Sure enough, less than 20 miles away from Guangmu City, the reinforcements were ambushed by thousands of Hu cavalry.

However, because Gao Lan was well prepared, facing the hundreds of crossbowmen of the Guangmu Army, the Hu cavalry retreated in embarrassment after leaving hundreds of casualties. But the speed of the reinforcements also slowed down. It was not until dawn that Gao Lan ordered the army to march quickly. When the reinforcements arrived at Xiangyang Fort, the besieged Hu cavalry had already retreated.

At this time, there were hundreds of corpses of Hu people and war horses outside the fort, and the entire fort wall was full of scattered weapons and arrows. The walls of several places had collapsed, and the soldiers in the fort also lost nearly a hundred people. After Gao Lan led his troops to arrive, he immediately sent someone back to Guangmu to report the situation here to his lord, and then waited for the general's order.

This time, the knight who was slapped in the face by the Hu people did not insist any longer. After receiving Gao Lan's report, he immediately ordered Gao Lan to escort all the personnel and supplies back to Guangmu.
