Hua Xiong was immediately embarrassed. He had clearly warned him in Hu Zhen's ears, but he didn't expect him to shout out anyway.
"Captain, because of the urgent march, the soldiers threw away their armor and weapons to rest when they arrived at Yangren City. Unexpectedly, the enemy troops suddenly came out and everyone just wanted to escape. Everything was thrown under Yangren City!"
Hua Xiong said he had a headache, and Hu Zhen had an even worse headache! How can we fight this battle?
Not only did he run hundreds of miles in one day, he didn't even see an enemy, but he was chased everywhere!
It's fine now, even the weapons are gone! If he returns to Luoyang in such a dejected manner, the head on Hu Zhen's neck will probably not be saved!
"Hey! What should we do? What should we do?"
Hu Zhen was no longer in the mood to cause trouble for Lu Bu, and now he was already in trouble himself!
Hua Xiong stood aside silently. He was also responsible for the attack on Yangren. If the blame was really put on him, the three of them would not be able to escape the blame!
This day is really a waste!
"Captain Hu, it's dark now. Sun Jian may not know that all the weapons and armor are on the ground. Why don't we go back and fight back! Firstly, we can pack up the weapons, and secondly, if the enemy is not prepared, we can attack Yangren in one fell swoop!"
Hu Zhen couldn't help but widen his eyes after listening to Lu Bu's suggestion, and kept cursing in his heart.
Go back? How dare you, Lu Bu, think about it! The Bingzhou wolf cavalry under your command, all of whom are on horseback, may still be able to go back. How do you want these infantry to go back? Climb back?
"General Lu, why are you talking sarcastically here? Look at these soldiers, which one can still stand up?"
Without Hu Zhen opening his mouth, Hua Xiong rejected Lu Bu's proposal in a very harsh tone.
Just because Lu Bu was friendly to Hu Zhen, it didn't mean he would be polite to Hua Xiong, so he immediately reprimanded him.
"Hua Xiong, don't you understand the importance of respect and inferiority? Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like this!"
"you...!"
Hua Xiong also had a bad temper. He had already lost his patience with Lu Bu, but Hu Zhen still stopped him.
"Okay! Now that the enemy is facing us, should we still have internal strife?"
Hu Zhen winked at Hua Xiong and motioned Hua Xiong to take a look at the cavalry.
Hua Xiong immediately understood what Hu Zhen meant. Hu Zhen did not want to offend Lu Bu for the time being.
Now among the 20,000 troops, only Lu Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry still has combat effectiveness, horses, and weapons. If you want to fight Sun Jian, Lu Bu is indispensable!
"General Lu, Hua Xiong has a bad temper. Please give me some respect and don't get along with him! But our soldiers cannot run away. If they are ambushed by Sun Jian again, they will definitely be annihilated!"
Lu Bu was very considerate to Hu Zhen and stopped arguing with Hua Xiong, and continued to talk about his plan.
"Captain Hu, did I say go now? I mean let the soldiers rest for a few hours! There are at least three to four hours before dawn. We just need to rush over before dawn, and then quickly pick up weapons and fight the sun
If someone launches a strong attack, Sun Jian will definitely be caught off guard!"
Hu Zhen's idea now is very simple, quickly get back the weapons of more than 10,000 people. Even if they can't capture the Yang people, it's no problem, as long as they can get the weapons back.
Lu Bu's strategy also met Hu Zhen's current needs, and Hu Zhen himself didn't have any good strategies, so he immediately agreed to Lu Bu's plan.
"Okay, let's follow General Lu's plan. Tell the soldiers to rest where they are for two hours. After two hours, we will march to Yangren. We must get back the weapons!"
There are at least four hours until dawn. Hu Zhen didn't arrange his time very tightly. It only takes less than half an hour to get to Yangren from here!
When Hua Xiong went to convey the order, most of the soldiers had fallen asleep due to excessive physical exertion, and there was already a sound of snoring in the camp.
Two hours passed quickly without any accidents. In the end, Lu Bu woke up first and woke everyone up.
Two hours was neither more nor less, enough for a person to take a short rest. The soldiers were obviously much more energetic when they got up, but Hu Zhen looked tired and the huge pressure made him toss and turn, so Lu Bu woke him up.
When he came, Hu Zhen felt like he had just fallen asleep.
But after just a while, Hu Zhen became completely energetic. He knew that no matter how strong the sleepiness was, he had to suppress it now!
"Are the soldiers ready?"
Hua Xiong was already beside Hu Zhen and quickly reported to him the situation of the army.
"Commander, our soldiers have rested. As long as we get weapons, Sun Jian will definitely not be his opponent!"
After sleeping for a while, Hua Xiong had completely forgotten yesterday's embarrassment, but these words were in line with Hu Zhen's thoughts, and he was full of confidence at this time.
"Okay! Let's go!"
Both Hu Zhen and Hua Xiong had the belief that they would win, but only Lu Bu had a strong sense of disdain.
After resting, the soldiers were obviously more energetic and their morale was quite high. Under the leadership of Hu Zhen, they headed for Yangren.
Unfortunately, something unexpected happened in the end. The journey that was originally planned to take less than an hour ended up taking nearly an hour and a half! The sky was too dark, and Hu Zhen did not dare to light a torch, so he could only run around with his team.
Finally, after there was some light in the sky, we successfully reached the foot of Yangren City.
As Lu Bu expected, all the weapons and armor were on the ground and had not been taken away by Sun Jian. Hu Zhen was immediately overjoyed.
"Quick! Get your weapons!"
The soldiers were not ambiguous and rushed to the front one after another, and there was a fight!
"Don't grab it! What are you grabbing for? Everyone must have it!"
Fortunately, Hu Zhen shouted from behind and Hua Xiong quickly walked to the soldiers, gradually calming down the commotion.
"Captain Hu, the morale of our army is strong. Why not take the opportunity to attack the city? Maybe we can decide in a battle!"
At this time, Lu Bu came to offer advice to Hu Zhen again, and it happened to coincide with Hu Zhen's ideas!
"This governor also has this intention. General Lu, you take the cavalry under your command to guard, and I will send the infantry to attack the city!"
"promise!"
Lu Bu lowered his head and accepted the order, with a sneer on his lips again.
Hu Zhen was a veteran general on the battlefield, so he naturally understood the importance of speed in fighting troops. After the soldiers put on their armor, he immediately ordered the attack on the Yang people.
Hua Xiong was the vanguard of the former army, and the task of siege was entrusted to him.
"Beat the drums and march!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of drums further boosted the morale of the army, and the Liangzhou army began to advance towards Yangren City carrying ladders.
Strange things happened again. Until the ladder was set up, there was no response from Yangren City, as if it was an empty city!
Hua Xiong was even more overjoyed. If he could fight Xia Yang Ren, then he would definitely be the first to win!
"Quick! Get them all! Take down Yang Ren!"
Soldiers continued to pour in, and the ladder was soon filled with people. Seeing that they were about to climb the city wall, Hua Xiong began to feel ecstatic.
