Vol 2 Chapter 555: Mischief

"They are still dispatching troops?" When Guan Ping came to Huluoguan, the time had entered April. The scouts of the two sides would meet each day. There were also war dead, but not many. They were all trying to cut off. Time has been trying to do everything possible to consolidate the defense around Luoyang. After all, if it comes to military strength, Dahan is definitely at a disadvantage.
Liu Yi originally kept Zhou Huai in Luoyang in order to build up the defense around Luoyang in time.
"Good." Zhou Cang came to Guan Ping and nodded, "But Xu Huang seems to have no intention of sending troops."
Now Guan Yu is promoted to general, and also worried that Guan Ping can't stand alone, so he left Zhou Cang to assist Guan Ping, and stayed with Guan Yu for so many years. Zhou Cang still has no problem with the basic technique of military integration, after all Guan Yu was old and Zhou Cang was no longer young. He continued to be a brave general. Guan Yu couldn't bear it, so he transferred Zhou Cang to Guan Ping and was promoted to Yueqi captain.
Guan Ping came to the city head silently and looked around. The terrain in front of the Hulaoguan was all in sight. It is more than seventy feet away from Xingyang, which is naturally invisible, but he also noticed that Xu Huang might be afraid It may not be that I really want to fight, or that Wei Jun ’s goal is not in Heluo, but even so, Guan Ping cannot be taken lightly. In Liu Yi ’s words, even if there is a one-thousandth chance, it should be 300%. ready.
This is also the reason why Guan Ping has rarely made mistakes. He knows that he does not have the talents of his father. No matter what kind of arms fall in the hands of Guan Yu, he can exert his combat power, including the sailors and Guan Yu who have never been in contact. It is still possible to bring wars without losing generals who have many years of experience in water warfare.
Talent is not enough, come together carefully. On the battlefield, if you don't lose, you win. Of course, for this sentence, Guan Ping has not yet understood too well.
"Is there any news from Sikong recently?" Thinking of this, Guan Ping suddenly became a little curious. Liu Yi, the governor of Liu Yi, dealt with the Huns this time. I don't know what action Liu Yi would take against such an opponent?
"Listening to Yuan Jian, Sikong has built more than 30 large camps and hundreds of high platforms along the river in the north of Lian County. At the same time, he has begun to build a large number of farms and farms in the west of Lian County. To organize manual farming or grazing, the rest is not too clear. I heard that there are other actions. "Zhou Cang thought for a while and thought," I heard people say that Lian County has been very similar recently, and I don't know if it is true. "
"Where Sikong is, it's naturally not too bad." Guan Ping couldn't help laughing, he ran around all the time, and he didn't know much about the news from the court, but it really looked like Liu Yi's style. It is not likely to break into Hetao, but it is not easy for the Huns to fight across the river: "If there is a chance, I would like to see it."
Zhou Cang nodded. He was also curious about what the northwestern land would be like by Liu Yi.
As he was about to leave, a loud arrow on the distant mountain top suddenly rose into the air, and Guan Ping and Zhou Cang's eyes were fixed. This is a signal that an enemy is committing an offense.
"Alert!" Guan Ping waved his hand, beckoning the soldiers to be ready, and at the same time took off the bamboo telescope that Liu Yi gave to himself from his waist and looked towards the distance.
In the distance along the direction of the river, a team of horses is walking slowly towards this side. Looking through the telescope, the number of the other party is not large. Judging from Guan Ping's experience, there are only about 3,000 or 5,000 people. Not to mention that the attacking tiger is locked, it is impossible to touch the wall.
Hulaoguan is surrounded by water, on the one hand the Yellow River flows from the north side, but on the other hand it is a cliff, so that the enemy can attack there is only such a big piece.
In order to improve the defense of the Huluguan, Liu Yi had cut a corridor in the mountain wall with a hundred steps, like a right angle. If an enemy came to attack, he would not only be attacked by bows and arrows from the city wall, but also from The side attack of the corridor, even the shield may not be able to cover it. Although the Hulaoguan has not been rebuilt, as far as defense is concerned, Liu Yi is more at ease.
Not to mention the three or five thousand people, even if the three or fifty thousand troops want to eat the Huluoguan with 3,000 soldiers and horses stationed there must be a few teeth. Xu Huang has sent someone to check the defense of the Huluoguan before. Will it bring three or five thousand people? What is the difference with finding death?
Thirty broken army crossbows quickly filled the crossbow box, a strong archer with a strong bow was quickly in place, and three hundred crossbowmen carrying the company's crossbow machine stepped onto the corridor, waiting for the enemy to enter the shooting range. Then, all arrows were sent at once, so that the gang of Wei Jun could come and go.
For the benefit of the crossbow of the Han army, Xu Huang had learned more than once before, so he did not get too close. There are still two hundred steps away from the city, and two hundred steps away from the cloister. When he came out and came to the city, he said loudly: "Dare to ask General Guan Ping to be there?"
Zhou Cang looked at Guan Ping, but Guan Ping didn't answer. He just looked at Wei Jun's array carefully. The other party clearly knew the Han army's crossbow and avoided the possible attack from the beginning.
Guan Ping looked at the direction of the river channel. If Xu Huang had any tricks, he could only attack from the river channel, but did Cao Jun have a navy?
He has repeatedly confirmed at the Mengjin Ferry that Cao Jun ’s attempt to cross the river is impossible, and Zhou Huai has set up 400 fixed treble platforms there. Lose more than half.
What exactly does Xu Huang want to do?
"Dare to ask General Guan Ping to be here?" Wei Jiang shouted, but no one answered. Instead, a group of cold arrows on the head of the city aimed at himself, and he was a little flustered and shouted again with courage. Road.
"I'm Guan Ping, what's the matter?" Guan Ping didn't find any flaws. While thinking about Wei Jun's determination to retake Heluo's land, he would go along the way and ask aloud.
"My general Xu Huang and General Yunchang are friends, and they have friendship with their fellow countrymen. I want to take the army out of the city and let General Wangwang agree." The rider said loudly.
see me?
Guan Ping frowned, and he didn't seem to have met Xu Huang before. Xu Huang saw what he was doing?
"What's the matter?" Guan Ping warned, this thing is a little abnormal, Xu Huang, this good-looking, suddenly came to narrate the old, what is the intention? And how does he know that he is in the tiger prison?
Could it be that Xu Huang wanted to capture himself?
Guan Ping remembered the fact that Liu Yi was asked by Na Lumeng in the fishing village and was almost captured by Lu Meng, but did Xu Huang have the confidence to capture himself?
"General, rest assured, my general is only for reminiscing!" The general said loudly.
"Tell him, I don't have time." Guan Ping shook his head. If he changed to his father here, he might agree. After all, among the generals of Cao Ying, Guan Yu has a good relationship. One is Zhang Liao, who has made an ancient one, and the other. It was Xu Huang, maybe Guan Yu would really not be able to agree with his face, but Guan Ping would not. One was that he really could n’t think of anything to describe with Xu Huang, and the other, he also worried about Xu Huang ’s tricks.
Lu Meng was also a great figure, what was the result? It wasn't that he didn't want to be forced into captivity, but was dragged back to the city by Liu Yi. Guan Ping didn't want to take the security of the whole Heluo because of an inexplicable invitation.
Seeing Guan Ping refused, the rider could only turn the horse's head and return to the army.
"General, Guan Ping refused to leave the city." The rider came to Xu Huang and bowed.
"It's a pity." Xu Huang's face was filled with regret, and he took a small hand crossbow from his arms. This crossbow was a weapon developed recently by the craftsman of the Wei Dynasty. Within fifteen steps, the power is acceptable, at least able to penetrate The armor of the Han Army was grooved above the arrow front. It was a killer that Cao Cao studied when he was still alive. The poison was smeared on it. As long as he hit the arrow, he would definitely die.
Originally, I wanted to lure Guan Ping out in this way, and then shoot with an arrow. When Guan Ping died, Heluo would be in chaos, and his own team of people could turn it into reality and directly attack Luoyang to retake Heluo. place.
But unlike Guan Yu, Guan Ping didn't agree, and Xu Huang, who had made a lot of thought preparations, was a little disappointed. If Guan Yu was here, would he come out to meet without hesitation?
However, if he faces Guan Yu, he may not be able to win.
"General, what should I do?" Qi Jiang asked.
"Withdraw troops first!" Xu Huang looked at the cloister in the distance ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The three hundred crossbowmen stared at him. Today's Hulaoguan is more difficult than ever to break through. Xu Huang fought for life. I have never seen such a defensive system. If it is a positive attack, I am afraid it is difficult to break through.
His gaze finally stayed in the direction of the city head for a while, Xu Huang decisively withdrew his head. Today I will see if I can deceive Guan Ping and wait for the opportunity to shoot. Another point is that he wants to come under the city in person and feel What is the defense system after this Huluguan reconstruction
It seems to me now, but it's only exposed to the outside that has made Xu Huang feel even more difficult. Before that, he sent people to fish as fishermen and walked around the river, but before he reached halfway, he suddenly couldn't move. It was later captured by the defenders of the tiger prison.
Although I don't know the specific reasons, the iron in that section of the river is not as simple as it looks on the surface!
The defense of the Hulaoguan is really incapable of starting. Although this time it was a feint, but according to Wei Chao ’s detailed return on the Han side, Guanzhong went to Luoyang, and there was no obvious force transfer. What is the significance here?
Seeing that Sima Yi's attacking time is approaching, and he has not been able to contain more Han soldiers as expected, Xu Huang wants to try whether he can break through the tiger's prison, if he can break through the tiger This situation is different now.
But Guan Ping doesn't count now, and Xu Huang can only retreat first, find another way, or find a way to bypass Hedong and directly attack Mengjin from Hedong?
Above the enemy building, Guan Ping watched Wei Jun slowly retreat. At this distance, it was really not easy to chase without a cavalry. Zhou Cang on the side looked at Guan Ping with doubt: "Why did Xu Huang come from?"
Guan Ping narrowed his eyes and looked at Wei Jun with a bit of a chill: "If I go out of the city, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back."
