Chapter 255: Surprise Attack
"General, Yongchang City seems to be very empty, you see that the guards on the city wall are not dense."
In the western jungle less than ten miles away from Yongchang City, Alcott said to Baker on the side with a look of surprise
"What a great opportunity!"
"Indeed!"
Baker was also shocked at this time, he didn't expect the Han army in Yongchang City to be so empty! It's really a blessing from the burning sky, and it is destined for him Baker to make this immortal miracle, and all kinds of shame in the past will be wiped out!
"Inform the brothers, do a rest early, tonight will attack Yongchang, and you must fight!"
It's night
Zhu Jun, who was kneeling in the lobby, felt a little uneasy inexplicably, the more than 50,000 soldiers and horses borrowed by Yuan Shao could still be rushed back the day after tomorrow, and Guan Yu and others also led their troops to leave early this morning and went to garrison Buwei, now his city is almost empty, and there are less than 5,000 guards in total.
Although the fires in the jungle were still burning, and it would take at least six days for the Kushan army to start moving again, he felt a palpitation deep in his heart for some reason.
"Where is Yuan Highway at this time?"
Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Zhu Jun turned his head to Zhang Song on the side and asked
The lack of troops in his hands is the source of uneasiness in his heart, but he is not without soldiers and horses, there are still more than 30,000 soldiers and horses after being pressed by Yuan Shu, and he should almost arrive when he calculates the time.
"General, according to the news from yesterday, I arrived in Jinzhu yesterday, and if I attack with all my might, I should be in Yongchang County at this time."
"Send a herald and order them to hurry up!"
Zhu Jun reprimanded with some dissatisfaction, Yuan Shu is a complete noble child, he can't endure hardship, he can't endure hard work, the family is pampered, bullying men and women and all other viciousness can be found in this guy If Yuan Shao presses the army to hurry, he must have reached the gate of Yongchang City now!
Yuan Shu, this bastard, took advantage of the fact that no one could control it, and he couldn't stand the forced march and slowed down the march, if nothing happened, it would be fine, otherwise even if he was the concubine of the Yuan family, he Zhu Jun would definitely not spare this matter easily!
"Yigong, quickly send people to light the lights of the battalions, and plant flags on the city walls."
As soon as Zhang Song left, Zhu Jun still felt more uneasy in his heart, and his intuition from the battlefield over the years made him not dare to take it lightly at all, there was no big mistake in being careful, and it was not a bad thing to be cautious.
"General, but the enemy is coming?"
Zhang Ren saw that Zhu Jun's state was very wrong all night, just like a mad lion under mortal threat, and the evil aura exuded from his body made him a little reluctant to approach.
"I don't know, but the old man is really uneasy in his heart, hurry up and prepare! Patrol officers are on higher alert! ”
"No"
Regarding Zhu Jun's reason, although Zhang Ren was a little disapproving, how could anyone rely on intuition alone to work with the crowd, but who made the Zhennan general of the family.
Twenty miles outside the city of Yongchang
Under the dark moon and high wind, a large number of figures were murmuring and moving, and when they looked at it from a distance, they only saw a layer of black veil, which was not true at all.
"General, look!"
Alcott, who had been staring at Yongchang City, suddenly exclaimed
"There were more flags, the garrisons were denser, and the lights in the city were suddenly much brighter. Could it be that the soldiers and horses of the Han army have returned again?"
"Nope!
Baker's eyes lit up after pondering slightly, and he said coldly
"On the contrary, Yongchang City is at its weakest time at this time! This is a suspicious tactic, and the Han army has already used it once! Continue to act according to the plan and surprise attack Yongchang! ”
It's really that when his Guishan generals are idiots, he played a suspicious soldier in Vientiane City before, and a golden cicada came out of his shell, and now he is still here, who do he look down on!
"Keep going!"
Baker let out a low shout, and the whole army began to crawl forward again, now they are not far from Yongchang City, and then they can start charging if they are lucky not to be discovered by the Han army, and directly touch the city gate, and they can break through the city with a wave of sneak attacks.
"Dark Whistle! Alcott kill him! ”
Less than fifteen miles away from Yongchang City, Baker was very keen to spot a brute hiding in the bushes
(Since secret posts are planted outside the city, should it really be said that the Han army is indeed weak, or should it be said that the Han army is cautious by nature)
Alcott, who had touched the sentry himself, quickly trotted back, with a look of excitement, the sky burning, and victory in sight.
"General, it seems that Yongchang City is indeed in a weak state"
"Don't be underestimated!"
smiled and reprimanded, Baker was also happy in his heart, under normal circumstances, if the garrison of the city is sufficient, there is no need to send out a secret post outside, after all, the siege of the city is not a simple job, it is very difficult for a small group of troops to attack the city, and the large force does not need to hide an hour later,
"Don't go any further! Prepare for a strong attack, I will attack the east gate, and you go around the west gate to climb the city and enter! ”
Whispering, Baker let out a low roar
"Kill me!"
As the main general charged out, the three thousand soldiers behind him all violently lifted off the black cloth they were draped on, and the muffled sound followed, and there was even a team of soldiers jointly carrying a rather huge crashing wood, more than a dozen ladders, not that Baker didn't want to prepare more siege equipment, but he really didn't have the time, and he didn't have this manpower,
"Huh? That's not right."
In order to show respect for Zhu Jun's order, Zhang Ren, who forcibly resisted the warm and tender desire to get into the warm and tender arms of the concubine of Xinna, walked up to the city wall to inspect it, suddenly muttered.
"Bring the fire arrows!"
After receiving the bow and arrow handed over by a fanatical and admiring soldier, Zhang Ren casually threw a shot
"Oh my mother! Drumming, enemy attack! ”
"Fire Bolt Ready!"
It's really a hell, Zhang Ren couldn't help but scold in his heart, I really didn't expect that there would be a team of Guishan enemy soldiers attacking here, it was incredible, and sure enough, anything bad could happen on the battlefield!
With Zhang Ren's roar, the originally lazy guards quickly cheered up, skillfully lit fire arrows, bent bows and arrows, and violently sent out a rain of arrows under Zhang Ren's command.
(3,000!) )
Zhang Ren's heart was slightly relieved, if he hadn't been there, three thousand people might still have a chance to take the east gate, but since he appeared on this city wall, he didn't blow it or black, even if he just stood still, the morale of the Han army guards could be kept in a very high state, even if he was suddenly attacked, as long as he didn't show panic, these Han soldiers were absolutely as stable as Mount Tai!
Just like now, he said that there was going to be a rain of arrows, and in less than half an hour a beautiful wave of fire arrows appeared in front of his eyes, although the position was a little off, and did not cause any damage, but it also allowed him to roughly judge the number of enemy troops.
Bang~
Feeling a slight shock of the city wall, Zhang Ren glanced at the Guishan soldiers who really hit the city gate below and more than a dozen sparsely leaning on the city wall, in order to meet the upcoming Guishan army, how could they be unprepared, now their Yongchang City is quite empty, but it is not just a casual three thousand men and horses can be captured!
"Zhang Ren?!"
Under the city wall, by the firelight, Baker clearly saw Zhang Ren with a mocking face, and his heart suddenly sank
(Damn, did it come so quickly, could it be that he had expected us to attack the city later?) No way! )
Baker immediately overturned his judgment, the Han family is not a god, everything can be expected, they marched all the way around it, and it is impossible for the Han army to know about it, unless they have a spy in Guishan!
"Siege the city with all your might!"
Baker roared, carrying the big shield and personally began to climb the city, fortunately he just had a flash of inspiration, and the soldiers were divided into two ways, otherwise there was Zhang Ren, they were five thousand men and horses attacking together, and it would be difficult to take Yongchang down, and the advantages that the surprise attack could bring were all lost because of Zhang Ren's existence, and now he could only try his best to attract the attention of the Han army to him, all thanks to Alcott's surprise attack!
Since the north east gate was the first to be attacked, the attention of the other three gates was naturally diverted, and they couldn't help but slack off a little about the morning city wall where they were stationed
Bang~
A small voice sounded, and a cloud ladder quietly set up on the west city wall.
"Uncle, should we go to support?"
A newly transferred sturdy brute said in an urn
"Don't move lightly without an order! Just garrison the walls where we are waiting."
After that, the chief habitually glanced under the walls of his house
"Hiss~, enemy attack!"
Fortunately, at a glance, I found that there were more than a dozen ladders leaning against the city wall, and even many enemy soldiers had climbed more than halfway.
"Hahaha, give me death!"
XX, who was the first to kill the city wall, raised his head and laughed wildly, and the long sword in his hand slashed towards the nearest Han pawn to him, and then as long as he killed these hundreds of Han pawns, he should be put into Baker in the east gate, and it was done!
