Chapter 327 (1/2)
Hefei and Guangzhou were hundreds of miles away from each other On foot, they would take at least four days However, for the heavily ar Cavalry, the journey was only two days
Hu Che Er took eight thousand Xiliang Cavalry straight to Guangzhou Guangzhou not only has a few thousand injured after being attacked by Liu Bei Although the Guangzhou had not yet been repaired, it also has about ten thousand heavy infantries
At the gates Shouchun, the arrival of the Xiliang Cavalry did not seezhou, the people started to la Cavalry caused the gates of Guangzhou to shake as Guangzhou was just a small county town Its walls was made from the earth and had almost been destroyed by rams The vibration could be felt from the walls and this made the troops concerned They quickly went and inform their superior officers
“Enezhou as the soldiers quickly gathered at the walls Ast them were about several hundred soldiers in heavy ar Ar
“Milord is right The Fake King Liu Mang is really at Guangzhou!” Hu Che Er was not an idiot He only showed his straightforward nature for his enemies to see Those that underestimate him would pay for theirCavalry?” There were notArzhou is too s was simply up there just so he could see who the enemy was From their banners to their appearance, it was evident that they were foreigners
“Thissaid to himself He had seen er Cavalry and the Yuzhou Cavalry Except for the Wolf Cavalry, Liu Mang had confronted theainst the Xiliang Cavalry He had very little infor Cavalry but he knew that his father-in-law’s Wolf Cavalry had fallen into a trap set by the Xiliang Cavalry and were badly defeated Even then, Liu Mang did not underesti the river This was how theCavalry reacted and arrived in just two days This de Cavalry
“Little Lord Let Hao Shao defend this city! As long as these hundreds of soldiers are here, nothing will happen to Guangzhou!” Hao Shao cupped his fist at Liu Mang He worshi+pped Liu Mang for being able to stop a hundred thousand soldiers with ten thousand at Wancheng He wanted to show his idol that he was also not an ordinary person
“Hao Shao” Liu Mang glanced at the man He had truly underestimated Hao Shao He would probably not even notice thisLiao’s recommendation For what reason would Hao Shao follow hiainst the Xiliang Cavalry As Liu Mang already had Zhao Yun and the White Horses, Zhang Liao’s recoiven the others positions He was not able to create a new position just for Hao Shao or even provide Hao Shao with troops As a result, he had Hao Shao becozhou as a favour to others despite the fact that he had already given up on Guangzhou because it would not be able to stop the ene
However, Gushi+ and Anfeng fell in less than a day One had its leader killed by Zhang Fei while the other surrendered to Chen Dao and the Liu Bei’s Arzhou had already been opened However, Guangzhou lasted for four days before Liu Bei gave up on it as it was too s Shouchun This was an unexpected surprise
‘Hao Shao…’ The na He could not help but ask “Hao Shao Where are you from?”
“H ask him this question at this moment? “Little Lord I came fro’s eyes suddenly lit up as he received an insight “Are you Bodao1?”
“Hm? Little Lord How do you know?” Hao Shao felt that this was strange as he never told Liu Mang his courtesy name When men call each other in their courtesy nah Hao Shao was Liu Mang’s subordinate, he was not Liu Mang’s direct subordinate So, Hao Shao was not able to tell Liu Mang his courtesy na troops also would not call his and did not have the qualifications to know After a while, Hao Shao ‘understood’ that itLiao’s reco received Zhang Liao’s letter, he had skis deeply On top of that, Liu Mang felt like grudid not want to have a falling out with Zhang Liao, he had to ht of this as a treasure
Two thousand defenders stopped an enemy army of twenty thousand and even caused a few thousand of the enemy to perish They even captured hundreds of prisoners and obtained four hundred of the White Eared’s heavy ar that he himself would have send troops down the middle if he did not have any catapults
“Hao Shao Hao Bodao!” Liu Mang’s eyes flashed This was truly a treasure In the original tiot defeated and beca could not remember much about Hao Shao There was also notcould ree Liang trouble
After the Battle of Jieting, Zhuge Liang changed his target to Chencang Zhuge Liang heard of Hao Zhao’swould be a difficult task So, he sent Hao Zhao’s friend, Jin Xiang, to persuade Hao Zhao to defect Hao Zhao replied to his friend, “You know me and the laws of Wei I have received much from the state and my family is important There is no need for you to say anye Liang to attack” After that, Jin Xiang ca, “You are outmatch There is no need to seek death” Hao Shao replied, “My decision is set I know you buthad more e Liang’s army marched towards Hao Zhao The ladders used to cli filled up the e towers but Hao Shao build another wall behind behind the outer wall Zhuge Liang tried many other methods but Hao Zhao foiled the Zhuge Liang to withdraw
This was truly an ies but he was still able towas a place that was easy to defend but hard to attack Even then, Hao Zhao’s was still for It could even be said that one could rest easy as long as they place Hao Zhao at the borders They would only need to listen to reports of the number of ene felt regret If he knew that this person was so good at defending, he would have given Gushi+ or Anfeng to hied to hold out for four days with only two thousand soldiers and also earn precious ti had let Hao Shao be in charge of all the cities, it is possible that Liu Bei would not have even entered Yangzhou
“Bodao It is fine to have the men just be a little bitwanted to see Hao Shao’s defensive tactics with his own eyes but he could not find the opportunity The enemies outside the city would also not be able to provide him with that opportunity
“H had suddenly asked about his courtesy nahed Fortunately, Hao Shao knew that this was his Little Lord Otherwise, he would have thought that he came across a person with mental disorder when he was asked not to be flustered with the ene Cavalry would not attack the city!” Liu Mang replied as he looked at the Cavalry asked Hu Che Er “General Are we going to prepare to attack the city?”
“Siege the city? No need!” Hu Che Er shook his head He would only do that once he became retarded as his heavy cavalry was not suited for attacking cities The only time when a cavalry would be used to attack cities hen they lack infantries
Hu Che Er will not do this even if Guangzhou orn out and its walls were zhou was still a city alls and gates If his men were to climb the walls, they would have to abandon their horses At that time, they would be no match for the ten thousand heavily arzhou would not bring him any benefits They were only here to protect the provisions and kill those that went out
“Alright There is nothing worth seeing here Let us go back” Liu Mang shook his head and said There was no city tower at Guangzhou and a person would be able to feel the cold wind blow just by standing on the walls Rather than feeling the cold on the walls, it was better to drink wine below it
“General! Look at that!” Liu Mang leaving could be seen by the Xiliang Cavalry below One of the thousand enerals saw this and told Hu Che Er
“All units, take precautions” Liu Mang had already descended the walls but Hao Shao did not dare to be careless
“Is this the King of Shu, Liu Mang?” Earlier, Hu Che Er had said Fake King Now, he said King of Shu Hu Che Er saw that Liu Mang had knowledge and courage to know that he would not attack It was a person that had a kind of conte self-confidence “Let us go!” Hu Che Er took his men and left as he had achieved his purpose His actions

“No It is not successful yet” Liu Ye shook his head and did not accept Xu Sheng’s coy was not successful yet “Xu Sheng Our strategy was to cut off Liu Bei’s provisions and to divide his forces However, this soldier is not one of Liu Bei’s” Liu Ye wanted Liu Bei to send his own troops If only a little troops came over, they could be wiped out while Shouchun could be saved if a lot ca Cavalry froeht thousand cavalry would be able to escort the transports carrying provisions, solving Liu Bei’s problems with provision
With this, Liu Bei could continue his siege on Shouchun while not having any proble’s Ar Cavalry htly hit the table If the Xiliang Cavalry remained, they would be able to send supplies to the Liu Bei’s Ar captured
