Chapter 564: Xiliang reinforcements arrive, Luopu Ferry encounters unexpected changes
Let’s talk about Zhang Ji who asked for a fight to intercept Su Yao.

He said this in a voice as loud as a bell, as if he was ready to die.

However, compared to his resolute appearance, Zhang Ji's thoughts were clear.

He has long been Su Yao's man, and he must get rid of Niu Fu quickly to avoid being accidentally injured on this broken ship.

If he could get the mission to rush to the rescue of Luopu Ferry, he could even rise up in rebellion on the battlefield, perform great merit in one fell swoop, and bring honor to his new lord!

What's more, the good news is that he is very confident that he can complete this task, and it is almost a sure thing!
After all, the only capable fighters under Niu Fu's command were the four captains Li, Guo, Zhang and Jia.

Now, Li Jue and Guo Si were killed in battle, and Jia Xu was probably in danger as well. It can be said that Zhang Ji is the only one left among the Four Heavenly Kings!
At this moment, at this critical moment of life and death, Niu Fu could either go into battle himself or send him out.

In fact, General Niu's fighting ability was very average. He relied on his status as Dong Zhuo's son-in-law to get his high position. During wars, he always hid in a safe place and gave remote commands, and never set foot on the front line.

This is the so-called God-given opportunity!
Unexpectedly, just when Zhang Ji was full of confidence and ready to go out and do something big to surprise Niu Fu.

Niu Fu actually rejected his request to fight.

"That's not necessary, Captain Zhang."

Niu Fu said calmly:

"Judging from the size of the team, Su Yao should be leading a team of less than a thousand cavalrymen. I have other suitable candidates to stop his sneak attack and defend the safety of the ferry."

"what?"

Niu Fu's decision surprised Zhang Ji greatly. He couldn't help but feel a little doubtful. He thought he would be the only candidate for this blocking mission. Where could Niu Fu find another suitable person?
"Governor Hua's reinforcements have arrived." Niu Fu sighed.

"Hua Xiong?!"

Zhang Ji's eyes widened.

This Hua Xiong was a sturdy warrior from Guanxi. He was nine feet tall, with a tiger's body, a wolf's waist, a leopard's head, and monkey's arms. He was extremely brave.

Although he was only a colonel, he was one of Dong Zhuo's trusted generals and was often sent out to temporarily serve as a commander-in-chief and exercise Dong Zhuo's power.

Hua Xiong's arrival shows that...
"Could it be that Mr. Dong already knows about our situation?" Zhang Ji asked nervously.

Niu Fu nodded silently.

That’s right, although Niu Fu intended to conceal the defeat, this place is too close to Luoyang. How difficult would it be to hide it from Dong Zhuo?
Dong Zhuo, who had been paying close attention to the battle situation, discovered something wrong and immediately sent Hua Xiong, who had been well prepared in recent days, to cross the river to provide support.

"I just learned the news tonight. I'm afraid there are already two to three thousand people crossing the river."

Niu Fu snorted coldly:
"Although I don't know who leaked our whereabouts like that Su guy."

"But he certainly didn't know that Governor Hua had personally come to take action."

"Let the man surnamed Su go to Luopudu."

"I really want to see his astonishment when he sees my army gathered."

After that, Niu Fu ordered:

"Let's stay in line and keep calm."

"When Su Yao and Governor Hua are in the middle of a fierce battle, we will join the battle and catch him off guard!"

"Wenhe, your information seems a little inaccurate."

After a while, Su Yao, who arrived near Luopu Ferry, asked everyone to slow down.

He could clearly see on his small map that there were a large number of red dots at Luopu Ferry, so densely packed that the small ferry could not handle them all.

Su Yao's words made Jia Xu's face change slightly. He immediately stepped forward and looked in the direction of Luopu Ferry to check the terrain and the distribution of enemy troops.

Just one glance and he was shocked.

Although there was no red dot on the minimap, thanks to Luonan's flat terrain, he could see at a glance that the direction of Luopu Ferry was brightly lit and crowded with people. He did not expect that Dong Zhuo would send reinforcements so quickly, and he did not expect the number of reinforcements to be so large.

There are even ferries on the surface of the Luo River that are constantly transporting people.

"It seems that the situation is not good. Dong Zhuo must have sent reinforcements again." Jia Xu took a deep breath and said:
"Now that Luopudu has deployed a large number of troops, it is not appropriate for us to blindly attack this place."

Jia Xu’s meaning was very clear, Su Yao had already gained a lot tonight.

He led a light cavalry force and made a sudden advance at night. He not only captured more than a thousand of his soldiers, but also wiped out the remaining troops of Li Meng and captured several hundred more people.

More importantly, Su Yao had made a name for himself, and the morale of Niu Fu's army was almost collapsed, and they were no longer able to fight.

In such a situation, it would be better to return to the city first, reorganize the troops, and wait until the next day to join up with the main army before making any further plans.

However, Su Yao, who always insisted on not fighting at all or pushing forward quickly once a war started, would never give up so easily.

"Taking Luopudu and destroying Niu Fu's army is tonight's mission."

Su Yao said firmly:
"The mission must be completed!"

"We must not give the enemy a chance to breathe. Once we let them gain a foothold, we don't know how long the next battle will last."

"The people of this world have suffered too much."

"It's better for the war to end sooner rather than later."

"."

After hearing Su Yao's words, Jia Xu was a little speechless:
"Sir, the enemy's numbers far outnumber ours, and they are new reinforcements, so their morale is high."

"If we attack head-on, they will never collapse as easily as the Niu Fu tribe is now."

"Our army has been fighting all the way here in a hurry. If we attack with all our might, we will suffer heavy losses."

Jia Xu couldn't understand it.

Su Yao is indeed extremely brave, but you can't win every battle just by being reckless, right?

Now observing closely, he was so impatient when encountering the enemy. This is not the style of a great general.

After all, no matter how good you are at fighting, the number of people you can kill in a battle is limited.

More depends on the bravery of the soldiers under his command.

These people are not iron men like you.

If the enemy is well-trained and has high morale, and they can withstand your three-pronged attack, and everyone starts to consume each other, can you, Su Yao, afford it?

Although he thought so in his heart, Jia Xu was more tactful in expressing it.

However, Su Yao chuckled after hearing this:
"Wenhe, let me ask you, who is the most likely person in Dong Jun's army to come and support you now?"

Jia Xu was stunned. He didn't expect Su Yao to ask instead of answering. He paused, thought for a while, and then replied:

"Dong Zhuo brought with him to the capital those who could take charge of a situation, besides Niu Fu, were the General of the Central Army Xu Rong and the Cavalry Captain Hua Xiong."

"The one coming to help this time must be one of the two of them."

When Su Yao heard this, his smile widened:

"That's it?"

"They are just two small fry. Does Wenhe think that they can stop us?"

"Miscellaneous, miscellaneous fish??!"

"What an arrogant boy!"

At Luopu Ferry, Hua Xiong almost dropped his jaw at the sight of the "long dragon" rushing towards the south.

That champion marquis actually rushed straight towards his army without caring about anything.
"Don't these rebels have eyes? They actually came to our doorstep."

"Everyone - prepare to fight, teach them a lesson!"
