Chapter 172

The fierce battle lasted until late at night, and the Wuhuan people could not take advantage of it. In the end, Qiu Liju had to order to retreat.So far, the siege of Guanzi City has been resolved.But what surprised Qiu Liju the most was why the people who fought against his subordinates were obviously Xianbei, but why they were wearing Han army uniforms.Moreover, the night combat capability of the Han army was far beyond Qiu Liju's imagination.In fact, in addition to the special training for the Liaodong Army's night battles, Huo Yu added animal offal, especially pig offal, to his daily meals.

Most of the people in the Eastern Han Dynasty would not be active at night, firstly because there was no nightlife at this time, and secondly because of night blindness.In order to solve this problem, Huo Yu forced the pig's offal to be added to the meals of the Liaodong Army. Although the quantity is limited, it is better than nothing.Of course, there is also a small amount of carrots, which is one of the treasures that Huo Yu found in Luoyang West Market. After adjusting the recipes, the Liaodong Army's night combat training gradually met Huo Yu's requirements.

In tonight's battle, Qiu Liju not only suffered a disadvantage in tactics, but also suffered an even greater disadvantage in terms of equipment.The weapons and armor of the Han army that were exchanged for materials with Liaodong at the beginning are like decorations in front of today's Feiyu cavalry.The horse-cutting sword completely crushed the Wuhuan people's weapons. Not only that, but the crossbow arrows shot in the night made the Wuhuan cavalrymen's brains very troubled. Needless to say, the power of the rhubarb crossbow at close range, the people who were shot, Death or serious injury.Fortunately, the number of rhubarb crossbows is small, and only Huo Yu's personal guards use them, otherwise the Wuhuan people will pay a heavier price than they are now.

In Guanzicheng County Yamen, since the Wuhuan people withdrew their troops, Huo Yu hastily rushed here with his personal guards!Looking at the seriously injured Gongsun Zan on the bed, Huo Yu felt guilty for a moment.

"General Yan, General Tian, ​​how is Brother Bogui's injury? Yu came a step too late!" Huo Yu said angrily while lying on his lap.

"." The two remained silent, obviously everything was in silence.

"Yuan Jian, assist the general to check the injury of General Gongsun, and take out all our good medicines!"

"promise!"

After agreeing to the promise, Liao Hua immediately stepped forward to help Huo Yu disinfect Gongsun Zhan's wound.Yan Gang and Tian Kai had seen Liao Hua treat Huo Yu's injury, so they didn't stop him, but hoped that Gongsun Zan would get better.

Due to too many wounds, Huo Yu and Liao Hua worked for nearly an hour to re-wrap Gongsun Zan like a zongzi.However, due to excessive bleeding, Gongsun Zan has been in a coma.That night, Huo Yu was extremely anxious. On the one hand, he hoped that Gongsun Zan would not be in danger of his life, and on the other hand, he did not expect Gongsun Zan to wake up.This kind of contradictory heart kept Huo Yu awake all night, until dawn, when he fell asleep drowsily.

"My lord, my lord?" Liao Hua pushed Huo Yu with one hand while calling in a low voice.

"Well, what's the matter with Yuan Jian? The Wuhuan people came to attack?" Huo Yu, who was awakened from the start, asked in a daze.

"General Yan ordered someone to report. General Gongsun is awake and wants to see you!" However, Liao Hua never said the second half of the sentence.

In fact, Huo Yu didn't need Liao Hua to guess that Gongsun Zan might be in a flashing state!Huo Yu, who was still in a state of conflict, was stunned. Fortunately, Liao Hua reminded him again that Huo Yu hurriedly headed towards Gongsun Zan's room, regardless of the leather armor.On the way, Huo Yu met Guo Jia, who also got the news. When the two met, Guo Jia couldn't help it. He knew that what Huo Yu lacked now was the mentality of being a king, and he could only change it by himself.

"Brother Bogui, brother Bogui!" The voice came out before the person arrived.

Gongsun Zan, who was on the sick bed, was pale at the moment, and all his subordinates were kneeling in front of the sick bed.Gongsun Zan still couldn't take his last breath before the unfinished business in his heart was completed.

"Brother Polu Xian, my brother's life is not long! Since ancient times, a general has shrouded his body in horse leather, and he has done it for my brother," Gongsun Zan said weakly.

"Brother Bogui will be fine. All the generals are still waiting for you, and Baima Yicong is still waiting for you!" Huo Yu hurriedly stepped forward and shook Gongsun Zan's raised hand.

Gongsun Zan shook his head. At this moment, every word he said had to use all his strength.However, the hand held by Huo Yu seemed to want to use force. Seeing this, Huo Yu hurriedly asked: "Brother Bogui, what do you mean?"

However, Gongsun Zan was still speechless. At this time, Yan Gang, who was kneeling in front of the sick bed, got up and spoke in Huo Yu's ear.

"When did you hear the news? Seriously?" Huo Yu asked suspiciously.

Yan Gang replied: "The scouts have just arrived, and the Lord vomited blood after hearing about it, so we hurriedly asked Prefect Huo to come over!"

It turned out that the scouts came to report that Tuyin City was destroyed, and the rebels wanted to capture Gongsun Zan's family alive, but they encountered resistance in the prefect's mansion, causing countless casualties. In order to vent their anger, the rebels burned down the entire prefect's mansion.Gongsun Zan's younger brothers Gongsun Yue, Gongsun Fan, and his son Gongsun Xu all escaped.

"Brother, revenge!" Gongsun Zan forced out four words.

Holding Gongsun Zan's hands, Huo Yu exerted a little force, and then nodded forcefully.Seeing that Huo Yu understood one, Gongsun Zan heaved a sigh of relief.

"Cough, cough, cough." A severe cough followed, and Yan Gang and Tian Kai hurriedly got up.

"All the generals obey the order. In the future, follow Taishou Huo and kill Hu. Captives."

"My lord, my lord..." The whole room suddenly burst into crying.

At this moment, Huo Yu's mind went blank, and a generation of famous historical generals just left.And the last words were to hand over his subordinates to himself.

"Could it be that the heart of a gentleman is really judged by the heart of a villain?" Huo Yu thought to himself.

Although Gongsun Zan has a tyrannical personality, he is loved by the soldiers. If the whole family hadn't been killed, it would not be his turn to accept these elites.Gongsun Zan's move was nothing more than trying to find a good place for his subordinates, but right now it is better to arrange funeral affairs first, after all, the dead are the most important.

"For filial piety, order the whole army to wear sackcloth and filial piety to see General Gongsun off!" Huo Yu said with tears in his eyes, looking at the scene in front of him.And in the depths of his heart, Huo Yu swore secretly: "Brother Bogui's unfinished business, Yu will complete it for you in the future."

"Thank you, Prefect Huo!" Yan Gang was the first to turn around when he heard Huo Yu's order.

"General Yan please, Brother Bogui's revenge, Yu must let the rebels pay with their blood!"

Yan Gang, Tian Kai, Shan Jing, Zou Dan, Guan Jing and others got up together and bowed to Huo Yu again.Soon, the news of Gongsun Zan's serious injury spread, and the whole Guanzi City fell into a sad atmosphere. Bai Ma Yicong gathered towards the county government, but Huo Yu chose an appropriate time to leave. This time and this place belonged to their time, and the city defense of Guanzi City was replaced by Huo Yu, and the whole army was strictly ordered to wear mourning for Gongsun Zan!
