Chapter 511: The Flying Army Captures the City
Maybe it's the beauty of the sky, when Pang De and Yu Ban led the troops to go out, they were catching up with the heavy rain in the area of Gucheng, this kind of weather was originally not suitable for marching, rushing in the rain, after a heavy rain, there will be a lot of people who die just because of the wind and cold, this year, a cold can be fatal, so, the vigilance of Gucheng is also the easiest to relax in such weather, and no one will think that there will be a march in such weather.
"Ling Ming, marching at this time, it is true that you can avoid the soldiers and horses of Gucheng, but ......" The sky under the rain curtain is a little dark, Yu Ban has a hat on his head, wearing a hat, but his eyes are looking at Pang De, marching in such weather, non-combat attrition is very serious.
"General Wen Ze is no longer in our army, I'm afraid I don't know how powerful this thing is." Pang De pointed to the hat above his head, looked at Yu Ban and smiled: "After walking in the rain for so long, have you ever felt the slightest chill?" ”
"This ......" Yu Banyan shook his head, not to mention, after wearing this robe, he didn't feel too much cold, and even if the rain flowed down his neck, it didn't seem to get on his body, most of them slipped down the robe, and so far, except for the inevitable rain on his feet, he didn't get much rain on his body.
"This robe......" Yu Ban finally discovered the abnormality, looked at Pang De in surprise, and then looked at the mighty and stuffy troops behind him, everyone was wearing a coat and a hat, if it was like this, it was not impossible to rush in the rain.
"After staying in the army for a long time, Brother Wen Ze will find a lot of strange things." Pang De smiled at Yu Ban and said, the armaments made by the Tiangong Workshop over the years are not only swords, guns, bows and arrows or helmets and armor, but also some clothes to cope with various weather and cold, which are equipped in the army, even in winter, fighting in the north, there is no need to worry too much about the problem of frostbite.
Originally, a heavy rain should be a force majeure factor hindering the march, but for the Han army, it became the best protective color, and Pang De took advantage of the rain curtain to cover and crossed the valley city in just one day.
The rain naturally caused restrictions on the march, but compared to the cover brought by the heavy rain, such restrictions were not insignificant, and after passing Gucheng, there were only thirty miles left from Luoyang, and with the marching speed of the Han army, it could be reached in half a day.
Maybe it was out of the range of rain, or maybe the rain stopped, after Pang De and Yu Ban discussed, in order to avoid Cao Jun being wary, they decided to rush overnight, before sunrise, rushed to Luoyang, waiting for the opportunity to seize the city.
Although I know that Luoyang is empty, I can't find out how many defenders there are in Luoyang, and Cao Wei is obviously also preventing intelligence leakage, so after the start of the war, whether it is Guanzhong or Luoyang or even Hedong, all cities have implemented a series of measures such as curfew and martial law. There are very few that can be sent.
Cao Cao himself attached great importance to intelligence during his lifetime, and naturally he also had a set of theories on counterintelligence, and he followed this set of theories to grasp the details, and in wartime, he even adopted the principle of preferring to kill the wrong person rather than let it go, and naturally the acquisition of intelligence was greatly restricted.
Of course, Shuzhong has been taking such mistakes over the years to ensure that the intelligence in Shuzhong will not be leaked, Liu Yi has been in Nanzhong for several years, the development of Shu has not been known by outsiders, in addition to the reason why Shu Road is difficult, there are also reasons why the imperial court took the initiative to block the news.
Rushing in the dark was naturally much slower than marching during the day, and the thirty-mile journey lasted from evening to the alternation of Yinmao before arriving outside Luoyang City.
"The terrain around this area is flat, there is no place to hide, more than 10,000 people and horses, and it will be difficult to hide their tracks when the sky dawns." In the dark, Yu Ban looked at the Luoyang City in the distance, and in another half an hour at most, the sky would be bright, and when the time came, as soon as the day dawned, they would definitely have nothing to hide, that is to say, they must launch an attack before dawn, otherwise there would be no point in them hiding and hiding overnight.
Pang De nodded and said: "When Mohou came, he ordered me to bring a group of soldiers and horses, from the land of southern Xinjiang, listen to what Mohou said, this army can climb the city with the help of weapons, I will take a group of men and horses to mix with Cao Jun to try to open the city gate, this southern army will try to climb the city, General Wen Ze will arrange some people to lie outside the gates of Luoyang, stop the thief army who want to go out of the city to report the news, if I can open the city gate, General Wen Ze will take the opportunity to lead the army to pour in?" ”
The Wudang Flying Army came from the Southern Barbarians, but now with the continuous development of Yunnan by Liu Yi, it is no longer allowed to say that there are Southern Barbarians, so for the army that came out of the Southern Middle School, most of the troops are commensurate with the Southern Army.
"General be careful, if you can't do anything, you can retreat first, and if it doesn't work, we can also attack!" Yu Ban nodded, and at the same time instructed.
"If we can't win this battle, our army doesn't have siege equipment, how can we break it in the face of such a fortified city?" Pound glanced at the city wall in the distance, which was more than five feet high, shook his head and said, "This battle will be won!" Mohou won't lie to me! ”
So far, only Chen Zhi has appeared when he attacked Xu Huang, although it is amazing, but Chang'an and Luoyang have now been disconnected, and the news is difficult to transmit, even Pang De, who is the Han army, is not too clear about how powerful the Wudang Flying Army is, and now I can only believe that what Liu Yi said is not an exaggeration.
Yu Banyan stopped saying anything, and nodded at the moment: "Ling Ming rest assured, as soon as the city gate is opened, I will lead the army to catch up!" ”
"Take this thing!" Pang Tong handed a bamboo telescope to Yu Ban.
"What is this?" Yu Ban looked at the bamboo tube in his hand blankly, it didn't look like an arrow.
"This thing is called a bamboo telescope, and you can see the Luoyang City Gate here as if you are in front of you." Pound told Yu Ban about the use of the telescope.
Yu Ban picked up the telescope in some surprise and looked at the city gate, he could only see an outline before, but at this moment, with the help of this telescope, he could clearly see the soldiers patrolling the night on the city tower, most of them had fallen asleep leaning on the female wall, it seemed that the Luoyang guards were not too concerned about the defense!
However, Yu Ban was even more surprised by the effect of this telescope, and looked at the telescope with some amazement and said: "This thing is really miraculous." ”
"So-and-so went first!" Pang De didn't say any more, ordered a hundred people, brought a hat, put on a cloak and hid the weapon under the robe, and went to the city gate, and at the same time, a thousand Wudang flying soldiers were like a polite at night, quietly sneaking into the night, Yu Ban saw that each of these people was carrying a circle of ropes, guessing that it should be used to climb the city, after all, he didn't believe that there were really people in this world who could climb the city with their bare hands.
Holding the binoculars, I saw from the binoculars that Pang De was walking towards the Luoyang City Gate with a hundred or so people holding torches.
Although most of the defenders at the head of the city were drowsy, after all, one or two sober people found this force and hurriedly woke up the robe.
"Stop!" Seeing that the other party had come to the outside of the moat, the captain of the city gate guarding the city was woken up by the soldiers, looked at these people and frowned: "Who are you waiting for?" Why here? ”
"Pang Ming, the captain of Gu City, was attacked yesterday and was ordered to come for help!" Pound said in a deep voice to the city, but out of the corner of his eye, he was a little surprised to see that those Wudang Flying Army seemed to take out something from their bodies and put it on their feet, and actually tread water.
"Pang Ming?" The captain guarding the gate frowned when he heard this: "When the two generals left before, they left a password, since Gu Cheng came to ask for help, he should know the password!" ”
Pound De was a little numb when he heard this, how could he know what the password was, and said nonsense: "This is naturally known, but now the military situation is urgent, please let me see the general first!" ”
In the afterglow of his eyes, he was stunned to see that among those Wudang Flying Army, some people said that the ropes were thrown up, and there seemed to be some heavy objects in the front section, and the ropes flew towards the city wall.
"Bastard, you don't know!" The captain of the city guard said angrily.
"Who said I don't know!" Pang De suddenly opened his throat and roared, drawing the attention of the Wei army defending the city to his side.
"Then you say it quickly, otherwise, Hugh blame will be ruthless!" After speaking, with a wave of his hand, a row of archers quickly stretched out their bows and arrows, aiming at Pang De and the others!
"Hey!" Pang De took a step back and sneered: "It's too much to deceive people, this city, if you don't enter, Gucheng will be lost, see what you do!" Let's go! ”
As he spoke, he turned around and left, and he had already seen those Wudang Flying Army climb up the city wall one by one with the help of those dozens of ropes, and the speed was really like walking on the ground.
The generals of the Wei army defending the city did not stop it, but they were suspicious, and they were wondering, but they heard a scream behind them, and turned their heads in shock, but they saw a black shadow on the city wall at some point, rushing to this side like a ghost, with a short knife in their hands, where they passed, directly cut their throats, and the Wei army had many people found these people, but none of them could stop each other, and when the screams sounded, these people were already close to the enemy building.
"Bold!" Seeing this, the guard was furious, and hurriedly drew his sword, and at the same time shouted: "Sound! ”
As he spoke, the Sanming Flying Army had bullied up, and the guard would slash with a knife, but when he saw the cold flash, he had a light saber in his hand, and he was directly cut off by the other party with a short knife, followed by the other two people One stabbed him in the arm, and the other directly cut his throat, the military general's left arm pressed his throat, unwilling to stare at these indifferent people, and the injured arm wanted to pull the figure passing by him, but it was only in vain.
The drawbridge was quickly lowered by the soldiers of the Fei Army, and the Wei army at the city gate was also cleaned up during this time, and the city gate was slowly opened.
Until this time, Pound was a little incredulous that such a fortified city could be breached so easily!
In the rear, Yu Ban had already waved his army to arrive, and the horn sounded in the city, which belonged to Cao Jun's alarm, but at this time the city gate had been opened, and a large number of Han troops were surging in, and the victory or defeat had been decided at the moment when the city gate was opened......
