Chapter 339 Fighting Gong County Again
Huangfu Chaobo thought so too. This county had already been evacuated by Dong Zhuo. Even if the system was refreshed, it is estimated that there would not be many soldiers. Now although he only has 10,000 soldiers who can really attack the city, the people in the city don't know Ah, thinking about the tens of thousands of troops outside, fools know what to do. Alas, the military advisers like Lou Gui are thoughtful. Thinking of this, Huangfu Chaobo became yelling again. It would be great to go all the way, but unfortunately, I can only think about it. Just as he was thinking, he saw that Huang Zhong had already arranged for the army to enter the city, but he brought the rebel general towards him. Soon the two walked in front of Huangfu Chaobo, and saw the general walk up to Huangfu Chaobo, knelt down and said, "The sinful general Li Jin has seen General Huangfu, and he is willing to do his best for the general. Forgive me for waiting."
After hearing the system news that a general had joined him, Huangfu Chaobo was very pleasantly surprised. At first he thought it was some unknown general, but when he opened it, he turned out to be just a high-level warrior with nothing outstanding. Compared with Chen Jing and others before his job, he has a cavalry proficient skill, and he should still be a good cavalry general after he changes jobs. Thinking of this, Huangfu Chaobo didn't have too much enthusiasm for him, but just reassured him that he would expose his past, so he let him go down. As for the other generals in the city, since the main generals are only high-level warriors, then the other It is conceivable that Huangfu Chaobo didn't take it to heart, and just let Huang Zhong arrange it. As for the surrendered soldiers and common people in the city, Huangfu Chaobo also asked Huang Zhong to keep those with better qualifications, who were mixed up until now, and the others with poorer qualifications were converted into commoners, and all were escorted to Luoyang by a team of cavalry. Let Lou Gui arrange it. After hearing this, Huang Zhong took the order and left.
After Huang Zhong made all the arrangements in the city, he sent someone to notify Huangfu Chaobo and the princes to enter the city. After the armies of the princes arranged to camp outside the east gate of Yanshi, they each took hundreds of guards into the city to rest. No matter what, the city was more comfortable than the camp.
After all the princes were settled, Huangfu Chaobo had time to go to the county government to arrange the affairs of Yanshi County. Now Yanshi County can be said to be poor and empty. Although it has not been destroyed to the extent of Luoyang City, there are basically no people. There are only a few thousand people brought by Li Jin in the entire county. As for the surrounding villages and towns, they are all under the occupation of various npc forces now. Soon, Huang Zhong rushed to the county government after arranging the affairs in the barracks, and reported all the arrangements of Li Jin and the others to Huangfu Chaobo.
As for the original 3,000 soldiers under Li Jin, after Huang Zhong carefully screened, he kept the 700 middle-level soldiers he originally had, and the other soldiers who were converted from bandits only left 1,500 soldiers. Horses, including 200 archers, 800 spearmen, and 500 sword and shield soldiers, and the others were dismissed and became ordinary people. In addition to the original 6,000 people, there are a total of 7,000 people. One thousand and five junior soldiers were escorted to Luoyang City, and those who Lou Gui arranged to be in the city became the first residents of Luoyang City. As for the restoration of the normal operation of Yanshi County, I am sorry, because Huangfu Chaobo really has no civil servants, so he is not planning to appoint a county magistrate for the time being, but according to the initial discussion, 3,000 junior soldiers and horses will be arranged in the city, and Zhou Shi will be appointed as the county lieutenant , stationed in the county, in addition to the three thousand soldiers and horses in the city for three months of food and money, other money and food will be transported to Luoyang tomorrow. The county now has no energy to manage and develop, not only Yanshi City, but also Both Gong County and Gucheng could only arrange in this way.
no words all night,
The next day, the soldiers and the people acted according to Huangfu Chaobo's arrangement, while Huang Zhong reorganized his troops again. Except for the 3,000 soldiers arranged in Yanshi, he mobilized all other soldiers and horses and marched towards the county seat of Gong County. Soldiers and horses followed closely behind.
The journey from Yanshi to Gong County was less than 50 miles away, and the army walked for another day and a half. At noon the next day, they arrived at the position two miles outside the west city, but they did not arrange camping. After arranging the army's lunch at noon, Huang Zhong Arranging soldiers and horses is like besieging Yanshi. However, because there were three thousand junior soldiers missing, Huang Zhong could only let the two lieutenants each lead 1500 junior soldiers as a feint attack. Qianlong spearmen, anyway, did not think about arranging spearmen to attack the city, so it is better to put them on both sides. On the front side, 2,000 mid-level sword and shield soldiers were the main force for attacking the city, and 2,000 mid-level archers led the formation. Originally, Dian Wei wanted to attack the city as a vanguard, but Li Jin demanded to be the first to ascend the city on the grounds that the new entrant had not achieved much. Huangfu Chaobo thought for a while, but couldn't say anything more, so he asked him to take a thousand-dao shield as the first round of siege force, and at the same time asked Dianwei to take the remaining one thousand-dao shield to prepare for support at any time.
Seeing that Huang Zhong was still meticulously arranging the siege soldiers and horses, Huangfu Chaobo felt that it was a bit redundant, and the posture should be the same as yesterday, even though the defenders in Gong County were the Yellow Turban Army. However, Huangfu Chaobo did not interfere with Huang Zhong's command. After all the soldiers and horses were in place, Huang Zhong still persuaded the defenders to surrender as yesterday. What Huangfu Chaobo didn't expect was that although Huang Zhong's sharp shot shot down the flagpole at the top of the city again, the defenders But he replied bluntly: "If you want to fight, fight, why do you need to talk too much." Immediately afterwards, Huangfu Chaobo heard a sound of "The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand" on the city wall. Seeing that the morale of the Yellow Turban army on the city wall dropped by five points due to Huang Zhong's sharp shot, it rose by three points. Now the morale difference of Huangfu Chaobo's army is only four points.
Seeing that the Yellow Turban Army refused to surrender, Huang Zhong didn't say much, and directly ordered to prepare to attack the city. For this county, Huang Zhong is already prepared in his heart, because according to the news from the cavalry, the number of Yellow Turban troops stationed in Gongxian County is no less than 5,000 soldiers and horses, plus there are more than 10,000 Yellow Turbans in the city. , Gong County has a total population of nearly 20,000, and it was originally prepared to be able to surrender, but now that the other party is unwilling, the only option is to attack.
"Dong dong..." Hearing his order, dozens of big drums rang.
The army on the three walls moved slowly towards the wall. Because he had been prepared for a long time, Huang Zhong also asked Huangfu Chaobo to come forward and asked several princes to help make some siege equipment. In Huangfu Chaobo's army, there are no craftsmen who can make all kinds of siege equipment. The more than a hundred junior craftsmen trained are still staying in Sishui Pass.
