After a night of bloody fighting, the enemy army finally retreated. Huang Zhong collapsed on the ground exhausted, and the sword in his hand was stained red with blood. He had obviously killed many enemies!
The enemy's attack was very rapid and violent, one wave after another. In the entire Yangping Pass, Huang Zhong's guard was the strongest. On both sides of Zouma Ridge, the terrain was high and difficult to climb, so the number of attacking enemies was obviously much smaller.
"General Huang, are you okay?"
Yang Ren and Yang Ang came from two sides respectively. Looking at the blood stains on their bodies, Huang Zhong knew that their life would not be that easy this night.
"I'm fine, what about you? Is it okay if you close it?"
Yang Ren nodded and gave Huang Zhong a reassuring look.
"General Huang, fortunately you discovered it in time! After I got to the mountain, I also lit the rocket, but I didn't expect that the enemies had already sneaked up!"
Yang Ang was also frightened for a while. If there was no advance arrangement and the enemy attacked unexpectedly, it was really hard to say whether he could defend Yangping Pass.
"Yes, thanks to General Huang this time!"
Huang Zhong waved his hands to the two of them, how could he want to listen to their praise now?
"Okay, have you checked the soldiers' casualties?"
"General Huang, don't worry. Our soldiers have suffered a total of more than 400 casualties, including more than 100 killed in battle and more than 200 slightly injured."
It can be seen that Yang Ren is relatively accepting of these casualties. After all, the enemy is attacking by surprise. Judging from the extent of the attack, the number of people is much higher than his own.
"General Huang, the enemy lost at least several thousand people in this battle! However, our arrow consumption is extremely serious, and the soldiers' physical strength is seriously exhausted. Now many soldiers can no longer draw their bows and arrows!"
Huang Zhong had a sad look on his face. He could probably guess this situation without Yang Ang having to tell him. There were more than 100,000 arrows in Yangping Gate, and they were shot empty by the thousands of people. Then there was no time to rest, and he fought again with
The enemy troops fought a bloody battle, and there was no doubt that their physical strength was exhausted!
"Forget about the soldiers, my arms are a little numb now! Have the people who asked for help been sent out? Has the military advisor responded?"
Seeing Huang Zhong's anxious expression, Yang Ren quickly nodded.
"Don't worry, General Huang. The military advisor has come to Yangping Pass in person, and General Xu has also led the Wuwei Camp and Wubu Camp!"
Huang Zhong was very clear about Jia Xu's acting style. It shouldn't take long to reach Yangping Pass, and he felt a little relaxed at the moment.
"You two go and arrange for the soldiers to take turns to rest. Remember, you must not relax your defense! You must hold on until dawn!"
Yang Ren and Yang Ang were both young people, naturally full of energy. After the first bloody battle, they were still a little excited, and they immediately patted their chests and assured Huang Zhong.
"Don't worry, General Huang. With our two brothers, the thieves will not succeed!"
"Yes, yes! General Huang, please go and take a rest first. Our brothers are watching here!"
When Huang Zhong heard this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. He was not yet forty years old, but he didn't expect to be looked down upon by these two brats!
"Haha, Huang is not yet in his forties, and he has so much strength in his body!"
"The two of you quickly return to the mountains on both sides. Remember, you must keep your eyes open to prevent the enemy from stealing by!"
Yang Ren and Yang Ang smiled awkwardly, then they accepted the order and ran up the mountain.
Huang Zhong looked at the backs of the two of them and couldn't help but smile. At the same time, he was once again shocked by Liu Zhang's eyes!
Yang Ren and Yang Ang were originally little-known figures, inconspicuous in Hanzhong County, and Yang Lin had never mentioned these two sons!
But just like this, Liu Zhang was able to discover the two of them at a glance!
Although Yang Ren and Yang Ang do not have extraordinary qualifications, if they are trained properly, they will definitely be two talented generals! Moreover, these two people have no opportunistic ideas, and they will unconditionally obey all appointments, arrangements, and even orders.
This is what makes Huang Zhong most gratified. No matter how capable a person is, if he does not obey orders, he will never be reused!
Regarding Yang Ren and Yang Ang, Liu Zhang had already had a clear positioning and knew where their limits were.
You can be a vanguard, you can defend the city, you can be a lieutenant, and even in the future, you can lead a battalion of soldiers! However, these two people do not have the ability to fight alone.
Even so, this kind of talent is quite rare!
If it were summer, it would be almost cold at Yinshi, but unfortunately it was winter now. Huang Zhong stood on guard for another hour. It was not until Maoshi that there was a trace of brightness in the sky.
After daybreak, the field of vision naturally broadened. Huang Zhong couldn't help but look outside the city. There were no corpses in the pass. It must have been that the enemy troops had moved them away when they retreated.
The entire Yangping Pass seems to have returned to a peaceful time. If it weren't for the many blood stains on the city wall, I would never have imagined that there was a bloody battle late last night!
Huang Zhong finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the enemy would not attack for the time being. As long as he was given a few hours, and when Jia Xu and his troops arrived, Huang Zhong would be even more fearless!
There were no further incidents, the enemy did not attack Guanxia again, and Jia Xu and Xu Huang finally led the army over.
"General Huang, thank you for your hard work!"
When Jia Xu saw Huang Zhong's armor and the blood stains on his face, he already thought of the tragedy of the war!
After receiving the news that Yangping Pass was attacked, Jia Xu did not delay at all, but the mobilization of troops was indeed not a simple matter of leaving.
Not only do you have to assemble troops and sort out ordnance, but you also need to carry the defense and various supplies. The whole process takes nearly an hour.
"This is what Huang Zhong should do! Military advisor, I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly. I thought it would take you a few more hours."
"General Huang, you don't know that the military advisor has summoned us since he received the news that your patrolling soldiers were missing! When the news of the attack on Yangping Pass came, the military advisor had already made various arrangements and immediately gathered the team and rushed
Come to Yangping Pass."
Xu Huang talked about Jia Xu's wisdom, and he looked at the counselor who had been entrusted with important tasks by his lord in a new light.
"General Huang, let the soldiers of Wushe Camp take a rest first, and let General Xu's Wubu Camp enter the pass first."
Naturally, Huang Zhong had no objection to Jia Xu's suggestion. Even though the Wu She Battalion had arranged to take turns to rest, the soldiers behind the gate were already very tired, and some could not even open their eyes!
"Okay! Then I'll leave it to General Xu!"
"General Huang, you're welcome!"
Seeing Huang Zhong thanking him, Xu Huang quickly returned the favor, and then directly ordered the deputy general to lead the soldiers to the pass quickly to prepare for the next attack.
"General Huang, do you know the origin of the enemy's army?"
Huang Zhong shook his head. From the attack to the retreat that night, he didn't see any enemy generals. They were all soldiers charging and killing.
"Military advisor, looking at the enemy's attire, they should be the Xiliang army."
