Chapter 1097: Arrive in time
It has been more than half a month since Huang Zhong arrived in the Western Regions. The army is approaching westward. To be honest, it is very difficult. You must know that this is the case. At the beginning, we should have suggested that the cavalry come to support it.
"Do you still have the strength?"
Huang Zhong asked a dozen soldiers in front of him, saying that he needed a guide to the vast Gobi Desert, otherwise it would be extremely easy to go astray. In this environment without reference objects, it would be normal to go astray.
"General, I'm waiting in a hurry to rush back and kill the enemy!"
A soldier replied.
"Very good. You are divided into two groups. One group will go back and report to the general who conquered the West. The reinforcements have arrived. The other group will serve as the guide of the army and lead the army to rush forward." Huang Zhong said.
"Yes, General!"
The dozen soldiers discussed a few words, leaving five people as guides, and all the others returned. They rushed out, and some people from the Western Regions chased them out. Now they wanted to go back to report the news, and one person would definitely not be able to rush in.
The soldiers sent out to find reinforcements had completed their mission, but Cao Cao was not aware of it. The Western Regions coalition had no idea what was going crazy, and suddenly a large army attacked.
Cao Cao could only lead his army to resist. The combat power of the Western Expedition Army was significantly stronger than that of the Western Regions Alliance, but due to the existence of poisonous insects, the Western Expedition Army was at a disadvantage.
The soldiers must not only kill the enemy, but also pay attention to the sneak attacks of poisonous insects at any time.
The fierce battle to defend the city was tantamount to seeking death. If it weren't for the fierce generals such as Xu Chu, the walls of the King of Khotan would have been lost long ago.
Today is the third day of the Western Regions coalition's siege. They continued to attack, losing countless poisonous insects and soldiers, and were willing to pay such a price to attack the city. Cao Cao really couldn't understand the reason.
"Soldiers, reinforcements are coming soon, you must hold it!" Cao Cao loudly boosted his morale and even went up to kill the enemy in an emergency.
He knew that once the city was broken, he and the soldiers of the Western Expedition Army would probably all die here. This was not his original intention.
"Protect the lord!"
Seeing that Cao Cao came to kill the enemy in person, Xu Chu immediately returned to him to escort him and blocked the fatal attack for Cao Cao.
When the Western Regions coalition saw the commander of the Central Plains people entering the battlefield, their momentum suddenly increased. They didn't know what King Wusun and Queen Shache said to them, so they rushed up to the city with a scream.
In the city war, the people of the Western Regions would not be enough to face the Western Expedition Army. If it weren't for the difference in number and the low walls of the King of Khotan, the people of the Western Regions would not even be able to get up.
King Wusun wanted to concentrate his troops to attack the city wall and kill Cao Cao, but Cao Cao also wanted to kill King Wusun and Queen Shache.
Poisonous insects have always been something that Cao Cao hates. It is these tricks that make the Western Expedition Army afraid of being attacked and dare not let go of their hands and feet to fight.
When going out of the city to fight, the cavalry has no advantage against the camel soldiers!
He could only defend the city, and this situation made Cao Cao very depressed. What made him even more annoyed was that the people of the Western Regions looked like they would not give up until they captured the King of Khotan.
"Lord, the people of the Western Regions are coming up. You will retreat and wait until the end will kill them back!"
Xu Chu increased the number of enemies ahead and knew that the front could not stop it.
"Zhongkang must be careful!"
Cao Cao knew that in this situation, the general must be in charge of the formation. Only in this way can the soldiers be confident and not be distracted.
"Don't worry, lord, the barbarians in the Western Regions can't stand me." Xu Chu said arrogantly.
This is not because Xu Chu is arrogant. He has not been able to hurt him for so long.
"Soldiers, follow the general to kill these Western Regions people!"
Xu Chu personally led Cao Cao's Tiger Guard to rush forward and attacked all the Western Regions people who had climbed the city wall.
With Xu Chu holding on, Xiahou Dun and Xu Huang being there, the people of the Western Regions were suppressed and temporarily chose to retreat.
"Lord, if the reinforcements don't come, we can't stand it anymore. The food in the city is about to be out of stock, and the damaged ordnance cannot be repaired."
Taking advantage of the battle, Xu Huang reported bad news to Cao Cao.
"How many days can the food and grass last?" Cao Cao asked.
If you don’t have food to eat, you will definitely not be able to fight a good battle when you are hungry.
"Still it lasts for three days at most!" Xu Huang said.
Three days later, if reinforcements are no longer, or if the people in the Western Regions do not retreat, the city will be out of food.
"In two days, if reinforcements don't come yet, organize a breakthrough immediately. From now on, the three of you cannot fight and kill the enemy at the same time. One of you must be in a truce." Cao Cao ordered.
"The last general understands!" Xu Chu, Xiahou Dun and Xu Huang said.
"Go down and prepare, the people from the Western Regions are here again!" said the baby.
It was quite annoying that the people of the Western Regions became crazy, but Cao Cao had no choice but to do anything to them.
The fight and stop, the Western Regions coalition forces left countless corpses, but they just fought to the death! Even if Cao Cao realized that he had no time or time to verify it.
Everything can only be known until the end of the war.
In two days, the Western Expedition Army was still easy to persevere, but the outage of food in the city caused a little panic in the army!
This cannot be blamed on the soldiers. They are in a foreign country and have no food to eat now. There are enemies who want to kill them outside. In such a situation, it is difficult to avoid panic.
In fact, Cao Cao himself was also a little panicked, and he was also afraid of burying his bones in a foreign country!
"Lord, the people of the Western Regions begin to attack in full swing! When will our army break through?"
Xu Huang rushed over and asked.
There is no point in continuing to defend the city, and there is still a way out to rush out of business.
"Tell the entire army to prepare to break through the east gate!" Cao Cao ordered.
At this time, Cao Cao no longer hesitated!
"What's going on?" As soon as the soldiers ordered to break through, the soldiers stopped moving.
"Lord, reinforcements! Outside! Reinforcements have arrived!"
"The flag of Huang's character "is the White Tiger Legion! General Huang Zhong of the White Tiger Legion!"
"Master, we don't have to break through!"
The generals were so excited that they saw the White Tiger Legion rushing behind the Western Regions Alliance!
Reinforcements came from a foreign country, and a sense of pride arose!
Look, that's our reinforcements!
The strongest legion of the Shu army, the White Tiger Legion, came to help in person!
"Open the city gate, let's fight out and respond to General Huang!" Cao Cao made a quick decision and ordered the army to fight out!
"Abide by the order!"
The generals received orders and rushed out of the city with their respective troops, and with the anger accumulated over half a month, they rushed to the Western Regions coalition!
The Western Regions Alliance was raided from the beginning. The King of Wusun wanted to escape when he saw the sound of killing in the back all day long and dust was flying.
Cao Cao in the city was killed. No matter how stupid he was, he could imagine that reinforcements from the Central Plains arrived.
Queen Shache originally wanted to use poisonous insects to resist the Central Plains army behind her, but her treasure poisonous insects broke off contact with her as soon as she went out.
Without the help of poisonous insects, in the hands of the White Tiger Legion soldiers, the Western Regions Alliance is a native chicken and a tile dog!
Mulu easily broke Queen Shache's poisonous insect formation in the military formation! He is a beast trainer, and he can even tame birds and beasts, let alone a small poisonous insect?
If you want to talk about Queen Shache's methods, they are similar to the witchcraft in the southern border of Shu Kingdom. In Mulu's eyes, it is not difficult to break them.
When the beast cavalry of the White Tiger Legion rushed out, the Western Regions coalition immediately collapsed! There was an army riding a tiger in this world. They had never thought about what else to fight at this time? If you don’t want to be a tiger’s ration, you have to run away quickly.
Chapter completed!
