Chapter 180: The Arrival of Reinforcements
Chapter 180: The Arrival of Reinforcers
After nearly ten days of rest and recuperation, the order in Shucheng has also gradually recovered, and the number of people on the streets has gradually increased. Some residents who fled outside heard that the army of the imperial court was coming and some of them came back, but more of them fled outside, waiting for the end of the war in Shucheng.
The current number of city defense forces is now more than 4,500 after recruitment, which is not far from 5,000. Most of the new soldiers are trained by Ada, among which Wu Ke, Qingchang and Wang Quan assist in training those soldiers. The city defense forces that have experienced the rest of the battlefield have gradually matured, and their quality is slowly improving.
More than 1,000 armor and other weapons captured in the war were handed over by Huo Yun, which made the soldiers a step forward in terms of weapons. Huo Yun was happy that the court allocated nearly 1,200 pairs of armor for himself. Although the current armor is still on the way, Huo Yun can imagine waiting for the soldiers to be fully armed. The grand occasion of the last time.
More than 1,000 people of Xiahou also withdrew a few days ago, because they knew that Shucheng's reinforcements were coming. Although the troops of the King of Zhongshan were also coming, they were still a day or two slower than Liu Zhengfeng.
Everything is developing in a favorable direction.
In today's lieutenant's mansion, all the marquises gathered together, because today is an important day, and the reinforcements of the imperial court will arrive in Shucheng tomorrow morning.
According to the information Huo Yun received, the number of people this time was 50,000, and it was led by General Liu Zhengfeng and Wang Wei as the military division.
Liu Zhengfeng was a general of the border army. Later, the king of Yan rebelled, and Fengling dropped him back from the border army. Although he did not bring back to his border army, Liu Zhengfeng was righteous and famous on the battlefield, and his military command art was even more superb.
With the arrival of this group of people, the burden on Huo Yun can be said to have finally been put down, but Huo Yun was relieved at the same time, he was worried.
After all, the entry of so many people will have a significant impact on Shucheng. If Liu Zhengfeng doesn't handle this well, there will even be some riots.
More importantly, where to go.
There is a clear regulation on this order. The 5,000 people to which Huo Yun belongs will obey Liu Zhengfeng's command in the future. That is to say, Huo Yun's immediate superior will be Liu Zhengfeng in the future. To put it in his heart, Huo Yun is not happy, because he doesn't want to be bound by his superiors, which will make Huo Yun unmany.
This is what "I'd rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail" says.
"General, we heard that there are only 20,000 soldiers under General Piki. There are many of the reinforcements who used to be city defense forces, and some things are in the camp, so that they may..."
Before Wu Ke finished his words, Wang Quan continued, "Wu Ke, there is nothing we can do about this order of the court. It's useless to say more now. Let's talk about everything after they come in. By the way, it's useless for soldiers to block the water from the soil now."
Wu Ke could only listen to it and look at Huo Yun.
Huo Yun said with a smile, "As Wang Quanjunhou said, let's wait for them to come. With our strength, we can't defend the city. Since we can't keep it, why not give it out? That's not much harm to us. Maybe we can also make some achievements under the banner of Liu Zhengfeng. Maybe."
The mountain wind nodded.
"Their leading troops are going to enter the city tomorrow. Shall we go out to greet them?" Qingchang asked.
"Welcome! Of course, we should welcome it, and we should welcome it greatly, showing the style of our Shucheng. Huo Yun said with a big hand.
The time of the night changed in a flash, and it was morning in a blink of an eye.
The gate opened early this morning. Huo Yun stood quietly at the door with the city defense army and waited. Both sides of the street were also covered with some residents and looked excited. As long as these troops of the court arrived, Shucheng was really safe.
"Why haven't you come yet, he. Damn, let me wait for such a long time," the black pig grinned with his huge sword, took out a wine bag from his waist and drank it, wiped it with his hand, and muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Xiaohei, just give me peace. With your ability, there are many people in other people's team. Be careful that others take you first." Erniu blew at the axe, then wiped it with his hand and looked at the black pig with a smile.
The black pig wanted to open his mouth to curse, but when he saw his axe, he couldn't help swallowing the words and thought to himself, "People are kindly bullied. In the future, I will not let him go when my lion roars."
Wu Ke saw the appearance of the black pig, "Black pig, do you think your giant sword or my big knife is powerful?"
"Of course, my giant sword is powerful," but when he said this, the black pig also lacked confidence. After all, every time he competed with him, he did not have a good end.
"Oh, after it's over, we'll go to the school yard to have a test."
Compariate, who is afraid of whom!
The other marquis did not participate in their discussion. They stood quietly behind Huo Yun, looking ahead, waiting for the arrival of Liu Zhengfeng's leading troops.
"How long will it take for the first troops to arrive," Huo Yun asked A Er beside him.
"Young master, I guess there is still one hour left," A Er replied in a low voice.
En!
"Your excellency, why don't you take a break first and inform us when we find them coming," Shanfeng said.
"No, let's wait here now. Isn't it just an hour? I'm still waiting for this time. Do you know who led the first army this time?"
"It's Zheng Yu. He is a little Sima. He is about 30 years old now. This time, the 2,000-head troops are led by him," Shan Feng said. He is not clear about such a thing.
En!
After hearing this, Huo Yun snorted and stopped talking. He waited quietly, and the other soldiers and civilians also stood still waiting.
On a path in the distance, a group of people and horses were moving slowly. They rode tall and vicious horses, dressed in armor, and were equipped with typical cavalry.
"We can get to Shucheng in an hour," a lieutenant sitting on the horse pointed forward with a whip and said with a smile.
"I know, just move forward at this speed." Zheng Yu looked at the distance and said with a smile at the corners of his mouth.
No!
"I heard that a child who is guarding the city now is not even 20 years old, which really surprised me. What surprised me more is that he even repuls the 2,000 troops of Xiahou. I have been deeply skeptical about this matter so far. This time I want to see what the descendants of Huo's disease have. Let's see if he is a mule or a horse. Zheng Yu also heard of Huo Yun's record, but it can be seen from his expression that he didn't believe it very much.
"Yes, we really should take a good look," said a lieutenant beside Zheng Yu.
"Don't say it's you, even I don't believe that a hairy boy can defeat Xiahou. Although I haven't seen the strength of Xiahou's team, I don't think it will be much worse. After all, he is the leading force of the King of Zhongshan."
The officers on horsebacked echoed and agreed.
The long team walked slowly on the road, looking like a long snake moving slowly from a distance.
"It's been an hour, why hasn't it come yet? Could it be the army of the King of Zhongshan on the road," Wu Ke, an unstoppable Lord, said as soon as he saw that they had not yet arrived.
"No one treats you as a mute. Xiahou's army has already retreated, and the Zhongshan King's team will be a few days away."
"I'm just saying it casually," Wu Ke muttered.
Huo Yun also frowned slightly at this time. Normally, their team should have appeared in their own vision now, but they don't have them yet. Did they delay something on the way? Huo Yun couldn't help but be full of doubts.
Another half hour has passed.
Do you want me to send someone to have a look?
Huo Yun was about to nod and agree, when black spots appeared in the distance, and then more black spots appeared.
They are coming!
