Xiaoguangong

Chapter 277
Guo Huai regretted not listening to Yunshan's suggestion.

This young but battle-tested general is indeed outstanding, and he had a premonition early on that Huo Jun would use the method of interspersed combat.

But Yunshan probably didn't expect that Huo Jun would have such ability to mobilize so many common people, helping the old and the young to launch an attack together.

This terrifying scene made everyone in Xudu terrified. Before, they were so high-spirited that they didn't pay attention to Huo Jun's bandits and soldiers. They scattered like birds and beasts, fearing that the digging of the ravine would trap them alive here, so they ran away desperately. .

Zhou Tai did not allow the people to participate in the attack. Seeing that Guo Huai was retreating, he ordered people to temporarily stop digging ditches and let Guo Huai and others retreat.

As expected, the soldiers under Guo Huai's command fled in succession as if they had received an amnesty. Zhou Tai immediately ordered the whole army to attack. More than 1000 bandits waved their iron spears desperately, and fought towards Guo Huai's army like moths to the flame. He went out to fight, but he still tried his best to shout and shout at Cao Jun.

For a moment, the roar on the battlefield shook the sky, Cao Jun only felt that the whole world was torn apart by the deafening shouts, it seemed that everyone in the world took up weapons to kill him!

Guo Huai tried his best to keep calm. He personally picked up his longbow and shot arrows at the soldiers who were rushing forward, trying to scare off those desperate bandit soldiers.

But those thieves and soldiers used simple shields to protect their vital points. Although they were shot by an arrow and screamed in pain, the screams that came out immediately turned into an even more angry roar. Like an enraged tiger, he insisted on getting into Cao Jun's spear array with his flesh and blood, and used his flesh and blood to open a way forward for his comrades!

Hot blood sprayed everywhere, and Guo Huai clearly saw the ferocious hatred on the face of the soldier who had been pierced by countless spears, but forced out a ghostly smile and stared at him.

Even though Guo Huai had experienced many fights, seeing this scene, he still immediately felt a surge in his chest, and couldn't help but bow his head and vomit!
No one is not afraid of death!

What kind of hatred can force these people to voluntarily give up their lives, just to drag the enemy into hell with them?

Guo Huai was so terrified that he couldn't imagine what would happen next.

The thieves under Zhoutai were also encouraged by their companions' willingness to die. They rushed to kill, scrambling to die first, and completely smashed the formation of Guo Huai's rear army.

These elites who have been guarding Xudu all year round are highly skilled in martial arts, but their opponents are all normal people. How can there be so many lunatics who have lost their minds.

Seeing a group of people with red eyes roaring and killing them, they could no longer gain a foothold in the field of Shura after a little resistance, and ran away one after another. Fortunately, Guo Huai kept calm at least in the crisis, and he personally led the trusted guards around him. After several rounds of rushing, the collapsed army was temporarily stabilized, but on the way to escape, many people joined the attacking team.

The weapons of these people are extremely simple. Except for the spears picked up from the battlefield, most of them charge with hoes and sticks, and they have no combat power at all.

They were obviously far from Cao Jun's opponents, and even many people showed fear on their faces on the way to charge, but facing Cao Jun who angrily scolded them to go away, these people rushed up without hesitation.

Guo Huai seemed to have been punched hard in the heart.

Seeing the common people falling in a pool of blood in order to slightly stop Cao Jun's retreat, Guo Huai saw the soldier who had rushed into the spear formation before.

People's hearts turn against each other, is this the same as people's hearts against each other?
Guo Huai, who was born in a famous family and received a good education since he was a child, also had the ideal of helping the Han family and calming down the world.

Although he has known for so many years that Cao Jun has committed all kinds of atrocities, Guo Huai has always told himself that this is just a last resort in troubled times. As long as the heroes are wiped out, the world can return to benevolent government, and all the ugliness will naturally disappear.

He had witnessed the tragic situation of many farmers before, but he felt that it was okay to suffer the people no matter how hard they fought for the world.

Only at this moment, for the first time in his life, he felt that he was not even worthy of being a human being, but directly turned into a cunning and cruel tiger and leopard, and was besieged by a group of righteous people.

All kinds of thoughts flooded in, Guo Huai was already unable to command, Cao Jun fought on his own, it was no longer difficult to maintain formation, and the casualties increased.

Several nearby strongholds on the road were not attacked by Huo Jun because of their large number of troops. Guo Huai hurriedly fled there to join the defenders there, and counted his troops again.

After the previous battle, he still has 4000 troops under his command, but now the morale of the whole army has been broken, especially the attack on food and supplies, and the cut off of the rear has seriously affected the morale of Cao's army.

Guo Huai thought for a long time, and finally gave up the idea of ​​counterattack. He ordered his men not to rest, and hurriedly began to retreat - on the way back, he would definitely encounter that strong soldier who dared to attack the enemy's rear at night.

He had to break out of the siege in one go. If he was encircled, his morale would definitely be weakened, and the entire army might be wiped out at any time.

Looking at Cao Jun's generals who were already showing fear, Guo Huai felt uncomfortable.

I thought it was a face-to-face battle, but I didn't expect to show my butt.Things have come to this point, apart from lamenting that Yunshan used troops well, Guo Huai can only forcefully stabilize the morale of the army:
"Everyone, don't panic, General Yun will definitely come to support us!"

.

When Yunshan heard that Huo Jun actually sneaked behind Guo Huai himself, he blocked Guo Huai's return and deciphered his step-by-step method.

"Huo Jun has such courage!"

He had been worried that Huo Jun would choose to stick to Funiu Mountain in the face of the threat of a strong enemy, so that no matter whether it was Guo Huai or anyone in the future, he would have a way to destroy him.

Fortunately, Huo Jun did not disappoint Guan Ping's expectations. He really chose the boldest and most radical method to go deep into the enemy's rear and directly destroy Huo Jun's reserve team and grain transportation team. It cannot continue.

In just one year, Huo Jun has made such progress, and in time he must be a famous general.

However, Guan Ping can't directly express the joy in his heart now. Looking at Guo Huai's subordinates who risked their lives to break through and ask for help, he pondered for a while, and immediately said:

"The thieves are so courageous, it is definitely not ordinary people who can deal with them. Pass on my military order, go to Xinye to ask Cai Fujun to increase troops, and then go to Xudu to ask Wei Wang for permission to act cheaply."

"Uh, what does the general mean?"

"Huo Jun is so powerful, if he attacks our army by force, he will definitely lose a lot. Now that we have already suffered a loss, why don't we value it?
Well, General Guo is now in a tight siege, please allow me to discuss the peace with Huo Jun, so that Huo Jun will not jump over the wall in a hurry and hurt General Guo's life! "

"However, Huo Jun can't be allowed to be so carefree. This general will personally rescue the army. I have learned what kind of abilities this Huo Jun has!"

.

Ever since Guo Huai proposed a step-by-step strategy last time, Cao Pi has reassuredly left the soldiers of Funiu Mountain behind.

He believed that no matter how strong Huo Jun's bandit soldiers were, they would definitely not be the opponents of Xu Du's army. As long as they were well dispatched and attacked slowly, they would be able to wipe out this group of bandits.

The most urgent task right now is to deal with Han Sui, who might be together, and Zang Ba, who occupies one side and is known as the bandit suppressor.

What kind of thing is Huo Jun, if he refuses to accept Gu's kindness, then he will be killed until he is left behind.

On this day, Cao Pi leisurely discussed poetry and fu with a few literati friends, and took out the red pill that Zuo Ci had just refined to show it proudly in front of everyone.

"It is said that this thing is so rare that it takes seven to 49 days to cultivate it with all kinds of rare treasures and tonic medicines. If you eat it, you can have a clear mind and become an immortal."

Cao Pi stared at the fiery red elixir obsessively, and put it in his mouth with some reluctance. The maid had already prepared fine wine, and asked him to drink it up, and slowly swallowed the elixir into his stomach.

When the red pill met the fine wine, the hot air gradually dissipated in Cao Pi's chest and abdomen. Cao Pi's eyes were dyed a layer of reddish, and his cheeks gradually became fiery. The proud spirit made people feel uncomfortable. If you dare to look directly at him, for a while, you really look like the real man.

He proudly looked down at the ministers, and was about to say something when he saw Cao Xiu who was already standing at the door winking at him, and suddenly a trace of strong displeasure arose in his heart.

"Say."

Cao Xiu sighed, and waved his hand to the people around him in annoyance, signaling them all to get out.But Cao Pi took a pill, and now his whole body is filled with strong self-confidence, and he doesn't bother to pay attention to Cao Xiu's hint.

"What are you doing, what can't you say directly? But it's okay to say!"

Cao Xiu had no choice but to nod and said:
"Guo Huai was surrounded by Huo Jun, and his life was at stake. General Yun asked to do something cheap, and asked Wei Wang to make a decision."
