Chapter 465

The 20,000 people under Lejiu's command are not elite soldiers, but because they are trained by Lejiu, they travel all over the world every day, so they travel faster. Under the leadership of Lejiu, they quickly headed to Yinling City, wanting to catch Xu Huang by surprise. .

A group of long grass was blown by the night wind and fluttered gently, but the footsteps and noise of the 20,000 troops marching at high speed easily covered up the faint voice in the long grass.

Seeing that the 20,000 legionnaires were gradually moving away with a flag with the word "Le" surrounded by it, there was a rustling sound in the long grass, and a group of long grass suddenly stood out, and then a human head popped out.

"Yuan Shujun came so fast, I have to report this news to General Xu Lang!"

After finishing speaking, the man picked up the war horse that was lying on the ground. Just now, he held down the horse's head and mouth to prevent it from making any noise. Only after the army passed by did he pull it out.

"quick!"

The whip lashed the tough skin of the war horse, and the horse stepped forward under the pain, and galloped towards a small road leading to Yinling City.

"It came so fast!" Xu Huang's eyes lit up when he heard the scout's report. After he was ordered to come to Jiujiang County, because Yuan Shuzhi's office was in Shouchun, he didn't dare to be sloppy at all, and sent dozens of scouts all the time. It really came in handy to scout out movement within tens of miles around Yinling City at every hour of the whistle.

"General Xu Lang, what should we do?" Zhang Duo asked nervously.

"That's right. Under Yuan Shu's command, this Le has always been famous for its rapid march. I'm afraid it's about to reach the Yinling City at this moment." Xu Qian said the same.

"What are you panicking about? I have already made up my mind." Xu Huang smiled slightly, his eyes sharpened.

"Zhang Duo, Xu Gan'er and others lead their subordinates to 1,000 people, and bring more drums, iron pots, and torches." Xu Huang said with confidence.

Zhang Duo was taken aback, touched his head involuntarily, and asked in doubt: "General, marching and fighting pays attention to light soldiers and rapid advance, and what's the use of not fighting with so many burdens on your body?"

Could it be possible to knock someone with an iron pan?

But Xu Huang asserted: "I am the chief general of Yinling City, you just follow my orders, if something goes wrong, it will be my own fault, and you can do it."

Zhang Duo and Xu Gan looked at each other, then nodded and agreed: "In that case, I'll prepare later."

Xu Huang nodded, and ordered to the guards at the door: "Order the cavalry to prepare, and take a thousand cavalry out of the city!"

That day, Xu Huang led two thousand cavalry to drive straight in, perfectly demonstrating the essence of cavalry use, almost no less than Ma Chao, Pound and other native Liangzhou people, so Liu Ye ordered Xu Huang to lead the army alone in Yinling City, He also gave Xu Huang two thousand cavalry.

After some preparations, 3,000 people finally left the city, but Zhang Duo, Xu Gan and the others felt more and more hopeless.

Just three thousand people? Their two thousand infantry also carried war drums and iron pots. Is it possible that Xu Lang will also reproduce the majesty of the great general with a thousand riders breaking a hundred thousand? Want to use this thousand cavalry to defeat Lejiu's 20,000 troops?

Xu Huang's expression has always been calm and calm all the way, so the army's morale is also slightly stable.

After walking seven or eight miles forward, Xu Huang suddenly raised his hand to signal his subordinates to stop.

"Is music coming?"

Xu Huang shook his head and ordered: "Both of you lead your troops to ambush on both sides of the road. Don't move. When you hear someone's order, just beat the drums, knock on the pot, and light the torches. You don't want to fight, understand?"

Hearing Xu Huang's order not to let them fight, Zhang Duo and Xu Gan breathed a sigh of relief, but they were still quite worried, but according to Xu Huang's instructions, they hid on both sides of the road to cover their bodies and remained silent.

Xu Huang stood in the middle of the road with a thousand cavalry, and the thousand people didn't say a word, only the horses used their hooves to dig the dust on the ground, snorted from time to time, and let out two rough breaths.

But after a while, I saw a long dragon in front of me slowly approaching with stars and flames on its body. When I got closer, I saw that it was Le Jiujun. The mighty 20,000 army formed the body of the dragon, and the dots of fire on the body of the dragon were the torches raised by the army. Le was worried about the awareness of the enemy in Yinling City, so there were few torches in the army.

Seeing the general flag with the word "Le" from a distance, Xu Huang immediately held a mountain-breaking axe, pulled his horse forward, and shouted loudly.

"The big man Zhechong Zhonglang General Xu Huang has been waiting for a long time, what is the joy of the thief general?"

Hearing this earth-shattering roar, Le was startled.

"Xu Huang?"

The whereabouts of our army have been exposed?

but

"Huh! It's good to be discovered." Le smiled and said: "If Xu Huang is to defend the city, he will have to spend more time to capture Yinling City. Since he took the initiative to go out of the city, it seems that this song is not for nothing. This will be the general!"

Le knew that the main force under Xu Huang's command was the subordinates of Zheng Bao, Zhang Duo, and Xu Gan, three thieves, about 5,000 people. Even if Xu Huang pulled all of them out to fight him with all his strength, so what?

Therefore, Le drew his sword out of its sheath without hesitation, and shouted sharply: "The whole army assaults, capture Xu Huang alive, and break through Yinling City!"

The 20,000-strong army suddenly saw Xu Huang in the dark night and was a little frightened, but after hearing Lejiu's order, they began to cautiously step forward to test it.

Xu Huang, on the other hand, smiled slightly and suddenly shouted.

"Haha, it's easy to be happy, and you have a plan, watch me ambush!"

Here comes the signal.

Zhang Duo immediately turned around and roared, "Light the torches, beat the gongs and drums."

Xu Gan, who was ambushing on the other side of the road, also hurriedly shouted: "Light up the fire quickly, and follow General Xu Lang's orders!"

boom!

Two thousand torches were suddenly raised from both sides of the road, and the gathered light condensed together, like a small sun, immediately illuminating the surrounding environment as bright as day.

"kill!"

"The reinforcements have arrived, and the enemy will be defeated!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of war drums soared into the sky, and the fire seemed to appear at the same time. The impassioned sound of war drums in the dark night was like thunder, as if there were countless beasts lurking in the darkness, roaring fiercely, trying to tear the group of people in front of them to pieces.

Stimulated by the sound of gongs and drums and fire, Yuan Shujun suddenly fell into panic. The people in the front row couldn't help but backed away because of fear. Dozens and hundreds of people suddenly collided and fell to the ground. Le Jiujun's expression was full of panic.

If it is a real elite soldier who disregards life and death, it may be a little strange to encounter such a situation, but his morale will never be shaken, and he can still stand in place to guard against possible attacks around him, but it is a pity that only Apart from two thousand elite soldiers, most of the remaining people are a group of recruits.

"Don't panic, keep the formation!"

Although Lejiu tried his best to maintain morale, the morale of his subordinates still did not improve.
