Chapter 782: Turning the World Upside Down

After Xie Cheng lifted up the servant, he pulled him to the outside of the fort wall, pointed at the cavalry outside the fort, and said loudly: "Those Youzhou thieves outside are trying to break our fort and kill us all." Kill us, take away all our belongings, and capture all our women. We may die if we resist, but if we don’t fight to the death, we will definitely die!”

"I have sent people to Zhangwu and Nanpi to ask for reinforcements. As long as we block them for a few days, the reinforcements will arrive, and then we will be saved. As long as everyone blocks the attack of the Youzhou thieves, after that, I will give everyone One person is rewarded with ten guan, and one person who kills a thief is rewarded with two guan."

Xie Cheng's words finally made everyone on the fort wall look better. There must be brave men under heavy rewards. One person who defends Wubao will be rewarded with ten guan, and each person who kills the thief will be rewarded with two guan. These huge rewards cheered everyone up. For a moment, everyone on the fortress wall shouted "Kill the thief".

Seeing the reaction on the fort wall, Huang Xu shook his head helplessly and said to Gongsun Yue: "Second General, it seems we don't need to persuade him to surrender."

Gongsun Yue also nodded and said: "It's okay. All I saw along the way were some small forts. I'm not even interested. There seems to be a lot of things in this place. Let's just let Erlang Let’s attack.”

As he spoke, he waved to the commander of the personal guards behind him, and someone was immediately ready to lead the troops into battle.

Huang Xu said, "Second General, let my subordinates fight in the first battle. Think of it as a thank you to the Second General for leading the army."

With that said, he ordered the two men beside him to lead the troops and start the attack.

Huang Xu led the cavalry from Hekong Camp this time, a total of 5,000 people, including 2,000 archers and 3,000 lancers. The two captains who went into battle this time were archer and cavalry captains. Neither Huang Xu nor Gongsun Yue thought about dismounting and attacking such a fort.

Two thousand horse archers, led by the captain, quickly rushed towards Wubao on horseback. Nearly 10,000 iron hooves beat on the ground, and the roaring sound of horse hooves sounded like muffled thunder.

The two thousand cavalrymen rushed towards Wubao like a tide. As they watched the distance getting closer and closer, and gradually approaching a hundred paces away, the two thousand cavalrymen suddenly split into two and charged diagonally around the fort wall. Go over and see a rain of arrows flying towards the wall.

Then two thousand cavalry circled the fort wall and kept shooting arrows towards the city head. They heard screams one after another on the fort wall. Only then did the two thousand cavalry ride around the fort wall and shoot arrows at the city head. Dozens of people were killed or injured, and then the others fled in all directions like birds and beasts, and the wall was suddenly empty.

The incident at the top of the wall shocked Xie Cheng and Huang Xu and Gongsun Yue outside the city. Xie Cheng suddenly realized that he thought too highly of these guards. After all, they were just guards and not real soldiers. Thinking of this, Xie Cheng led several people around him and walked down the wall in despair. Then he opened the fort door and walked up to Huang Xu and the others to ask for surrender. He just hoped that these people could spare his life.

Huang Xu and Gongsun Yue were both surprised to be able to capture this Wubao so quickly. However, fortunately, they only wanted to disturb Jizhou, and Huang Xu was not willing to do more killings like these civilians.

Now that Wubao had been captured, Huang Xu didn't say much. He just ordered the army to enter the fort to rest. As for the food and supplies in the fort, Huang Xu didn't take care of it. He just handed it over to Gongsun Yue for inventory.

After arranging the soldiers and horses to rest in the fort, Huang Xu did not stop. In the next few days, except for a part of the two cavalry who stayed at the Wubao, other soldiers and horses were dispatched to sweep away all the surrounding Wubao. , all the gold and silver belongings were moved to Xiejiapu, and all the personnel rushed to Zhangwu County in the south.

Of course, these are only for the Wubao of NPC forces outside the city. Player territories are required by Huangfu Chaobo to be excluded. He doesn't want to be the target of public criticism. In fact, Zhang Wu's players have gained a lot of advantages due to his misfortune. , many people have been deceived and abducted by the surrounding player territories and dragged to their own territory before they even reach the county seat.

After staying around Zhang Wu for a few days, Huang Xu and the two men led the army and continued southward. After several days of scraping the land, Gongsun Yue had gained a lot of property. Of course, although it was said that he could use it, He still consciously gave nearly 40% of the property to Huang Xu.

In the next half month, 15,000 cavalrymen swept across the land of Jizhou like locusts. From Fuyang, Gaocheng and Xinyang, a large number of messengers from various places rush to Nanpi every day, requesting the Cavalry General's Office to send troops to annihilate this group of cavalry. In the eyes of various Bohai aristocratic families, if they support Yuan Shao, then he must ensure that his family is in power. Property security outside the city.

At this time, in the Chariot and Cavalry General's Mansion, the Bohai Prefect who stayed behind had been overwhelmed by the mountains of letters asking for help from various places. As one of Yuan Shao's counselors, he also knew that the demands of these aristocratic families were a bit too much, but he could not allow the nearly 20,000 cavalry of Gongsun Zan and Huangfu Chaobo to plunder, otherwise, it would not take long before the entire Bohai Sea would be destroyed. They were so tormented that they became so miserable.

In desperation, Shen Pei had no choice but to send a letter of request for help to Yuan Shao on the front line of Wei County, asking him to send troops back to Bohai to help drive these cavalry out of Jizhou territory.

After leaving the Bohai Sea, the two men led the army to the west and entered the Hejian Kingdom. After conquering dozens of forts in the Hejian Kingdom, Huang Xu's scouts discovered the news of the appearance of a large number of cavalry. The two thought that Yuan Shao's army had already returned for reinforcements, so he immediately led his army northward, preparing to enter Youzhou from Hejian.

What they didn't know was that Yuan Shao's main force did not return to support, but only sent General Jiang Qi and Guo Yuan to lead 5,000 cavalry to support Nanpi. In Nanpi City, Shen Pei had purchased nearly 20,000 war horses from various aristocratic families for Yuan Shao, and then trained more than 10,000 cavalry. Although these cavalry were not good enough to fight against Huang Xu and Gongsun Yue's cavalry, tens of thousands of cavalry plus the infantry of each city were still a great pressure on Huang Xu and Gongsun Yue.

In addition, the two cavalry had been fighting for more than a month, and both the men and horses were exhausted, so the two decided to retreat to Youzhou temporarily. Of course, Jiang Qi's cavalry did not dare to chase too closely, but just followed from a distance for a day's journey, and his mission was completed by driving Huang Xu and others out of Jizhou.

Who knew that when the two led the army to retreat through Dongping Shu County, the county did not expect that the cavalry had reached its territory. In order not to affect the normal life of the people in the city, the county magistrate ordered the south gate to be opened for residents in the city to enter and exit.
