"General! Everything has been done according to the general's wishes!" the soldier shouted to Guo Huai, who was sitting in the study, cupping his fists.
Guo Huai nodded, with a slightly tired look on his face, and asked, "Have the other generals been settled as well?" From the time he entered the city until now, Guo Huai has been busy handling military affairs.
Although the Western Qin Army does not plan to occupy Lihu City for a long time, the military affairs still have to be handled. As the commander-in-chief of the army, Guo Huai has to bear more responsibilities!
"Report to the general!" The soldier immediately replied: "General Xu and General Dian have returned to the military camp! General Hao and General Deng are guarding the north and south of the city respectively!"
"Okay!" Guo Huai pinched the bridge of his nose hard, breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand to the soldier, and said, "That's it for now! You all go down and rest, we will continue on the road tomorrow!"
After getting Guo Huai's permission, the soldiers immediately withdrew, and Guo Huai also stretched, and the bones and joints in his back made a crackling sound as his body stretched. In fact, Guo Huai didn't need to work so hard at all.
It's just that Guo Huai hopes to do the best he can. Don't look at the fact that Guo Huai is now a leader among the younger generation of the Western Qin Army. He even got appointed as the army commander by his lord during the attack on Cao Wei. He can be said to be on the rise in the future.
The future is limitless!
However, Guo Huai himself did not think so. Although he seemed to be highly valued by his lord, Guo Huai knew in his heart that he, who was born in a poor family, was definitely not as good as Xu Yi, Dianman and several general disciples in terms of status.
In martial arts, he is not as good as Wang Shuang and Hao Zhao. Even in terms of strategy, he is not as good as Deng Ai and Jiang Wei! If Guo Huai wants to get ahead in the Western Qin army, he must pay several times more than others, or even several times more than others.
Ten times the effort! Being able to become the coach of the army this time is the best opportunity! Guo Huai must cherish this opportunity, make great contributions, and lay a solid foundation for his future! This is why Guo Huai decided to raid Dongjun this time
reason!
Clapping his palms, Guo Huai took a look at the paperwork he had already processed, let out a long sigh, and then slowly stood up. He was also ready to rest. As soon as he walked out of the study, Guo Huai subconsciously
He raised his head and looked up at the sky, a strange look flashed in his eyes.
"Dang Dang Dang Dang——!" At this moment, Guo Huai vaguely seemed to hear a noise coming from outside. He couldn't help but frown. He immediately called the soldiers who were waiting around him and asked: "Why?
It’s so noisy at this late hour? Go and see what’s going on!”
"Here!" The soldier beside Guo Huai responded immediately and walked quickly towards the front yard. But before he stepped out of the yard, he saw a disheveled sergeant walking quickly
He rushed over here, stumbling along the way, and finally fell down when he got in front of Guo Huai. The sergeant fell in front of Guo Huai and didn't even bother to stand up. He shouted to Guo Huai:
"General, general! Something bad has happened! Something bad has happened!"
Guo Huai's heart immediately skipped a beat, and he quickly pulled the sergeant up and asked, "What happened? Speak slowly! Speak slowly!"
Hearing Guo Huai's words, the sergeant took a few breaths, then calmed down his breathing slightly, and immediately said to Guo Huai: "General, general! Enemies suddenly appeared everywhere in the city and set fire everywhere in the city!
Now the whole Lihu City is on fire, and the soldiers are also in chaos! General Xu and General Dian have rushed over from the military camp and sent a villain to inform the general! Please make a decision, general!"
"Enemy?" Guo Huai almost jumped up! How could there be an enemy? But the embarrassment of the sergeant in front of him was not fake, so Guo Huai had to believe what the sergeant said. Suddenly Guo Huai felt as if he had collapsed.
, stepped back several steps, but fortunately the soldier behind him reached out to support him, otherwise he would have fallen to the ground!
Lihu City was supposed to have been completely captured, but now the enemy suddenly appeared! Guo Huai naturally knew what this situation meant! Obviously he had fallen into the enemy's trap! This made him feel a little proud before.
Guo Huai fell from the sky to the ground in an instant!
Guo Huai was stunned, but it made the sergeant anxious. He called General several times, but Guo Huai didn't respond at all. In the end, he could only shout loudly: "General Guo! What should we do next?
"
After being shouted out by the sergeant, Guo Huai finally came to his senses and realized that now was not the time to be in a daze. He immediately shouted to the sergeant and asked: "How are the injuries to the soldiers now?"
The sergeant made a sad face and said: "It happened so suddenly, many brothers were trapped in the fire! Fortunately, General Xu and General Dian discovered it in time, and each led about 2,000 people to break out from the military camp!
As for those brothers who did not break out, then..." Although the sergeant did not say the last words, Guo Huai could already hear what he meant!
Each rescued 2,000 people? That adds up to only more than 4,000 people! Including the soldiers and horses left at the top of the city, the total is less than 5,000 people! This is a total loss of half of the soldiers and horses.
! Hearing this news, Guo Huai's heart was bleeding! Finally, Guo Huai finally controlled his emotions and shouted in a deep voice: "Let General Xu and General Dian rush to the south of the city immediately! And you, rush there.
In the north of the city, let General Hao, who is staying there, lead his troops to the south gate!"
After calming down, Guo Huai's analysis was also very accurate. Since the opponent adopted this sneak attack and set fire everywhere in the city, this proved that the number of enemies was definitely not too large. Therefore, at this time, the army must be assembled as soon as possible.
We guarantee that they will not be defeated one by one by the enemy! As for choosing to gather at the South City Gate, that is to ensure that if anything happens, the enemy will not cut off the retreat!
The sergeants received Guo Huai's order and left one after another, and Guo Huai himself hurried towards the gate of the mansion. He also had to rush to the south of the city to meet Deng Ai as soon as possible. Along the way, Guo Huai summoned all the people in the mansion.
A group of nearly twenty soldiers rushed to the gate of the mansion. They didn't even bother to find their mounts. Guo Huai just led the soldiers on foot toward the south of the city.
After leaving the gate of the mansion, Guo Huai realized how bad the situation in the city was! As soon as he opened the gate, a wave of heat rushed towards him. Looking around, there were fires everywhere, and screams could be heard endlessly! It was obvious that the enemy was
When setting fire, they did not care about the people in the city. Those people who were too scared to go out because of the Western Qin army's entry into the city also became victims of the enemy's fire attack!
But at this time, Guo Huai didn't have the time to pity those people. He barely recognized the direction and rushed south along the street. But Guo Huai secretly sighed in his heart, after tonight's battle, I'm afraid,
This Lihu City will become an abandoned city!
"Phew!" "General, be careful!"
A sharp sound breaking through the air and an exclamation sounded at the same time. Before Guo Huai could react, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, but an arrow was pressed against his chest, directly inserted into it.
On Guo Huai's shoulder!
Originally, according to Guo Huai's ability, an arrow was shot at him, and Guo Huai would definitely have time to dodge. But the problem is that now there are fires everywhere, and the screams and the sound of the collapse of the house completely cover up the arrow.
The sound of breaking through the air caught Guo Huai off guard and was hit by a hidden arrow! At this time, when the soldiers around him saw that Guo Huai was injured, they all picked up their weapons to protect Guo Huai and looked around him with vigilance.
Guo Huai, on the other hand, gritted his teeth and grabbed the arrow inserted in his shoulder socket. Gritting his teeth, he actually pulled the arrow out of his shoulder socket! He didn't even make a sound! He pulled out the arrow.
After shooting the arrow, Guo Huai simply threw the arrow aside, then scanned the area and hummed: "Come out and challenge if you have the guts! Hiding your head and keeping your tail behind is nothing!"
"Huh!" Sure enough, a cold snort rang out, and the door of a nearby residence was kicked open with a bang! Immediately afterwards, another group of people walked out of the door, led by one person, who was leaving.
The guard of Fox City——Xia Houshang!
I saw Xia Houshang fully armed, holding a long gun, staring at Guo Huai with his eyes, and hummed: "Today you have fallen into the trap I specially designed for you! If you want to survive, surrender quickly!"
"Huh!" Although he was seriously injured, Guo Huai snorted coldly, obviously not intending to follow Xia Houshang's suggestion! Guo Huai raised the single sword in his hand, pointed it at Xia Houlan, and said: "I
Guo Huai is deeply grateful for the kindness of the general. He has no chance to repay the general! How can you let me betray the general just because of your few words? Dream! Humph! You can't be proud of today's victory or defeat.
It’s not divided yet!”
After listening to Guo Huai's words, Xiahou Shang couldn't help but laughed up to the sky and shouted: "Since you are so stubborn! Then don't blame me for being merciless! Soldiers! Kill the enemy generals!"
"Kill——!" With an order from Xiahou Shang, Guo Huai and others were surrounded. After receiving Xiahou Shang's order, the surrounding soldiers immediately attacked and killed the Western Qin army in front of them!
However, the Western Qin Army is not a fuel-efficient lamp. How could it allow the opponent to attack like this without fighting back! Guo Huai, who was surrounded by soldiers, immediately waved his single sword and rushed in the direction of Xia Houshang!
The two soldiers and horses engaged in a life-and-death struggle in this sea of fire!
Because of the sudden arrival, there were only a few dozen people following Guo Huai, but the army led by Xiahou Shang had more than a thousand people! Xiahou Shang had made a decision early this time, and the remaining two
More than a thousand people were selected, and under the leadership of other soldiers, they lit fires everywhere in the city. While he led the remaining soldiers to attack the city guard, the purpose was to directly attack the commander-in-chief of the Western Qin Army.
