Chapter 15: Dock Fort
The fleet arrived in Wucheng County in the middle of the ugly hour, and the 5,000 soldiers and horses immediately disembarked and prepared to attack. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Seeing that the five thousand people were silent, they quickly formed a formation, and Xiahou Bupo, who was watching from afar, nodded secretly, and said to Xiahou Lei: "Second Uncle's vision is really not bad, I didn't expect this person to be a civil and military all-rounder." ”
"That's right, ginger is still old and spicy!" Xiahou Lei smiled proudly, took a deep breath of the refreshing night breeze, and felt the blood in his whole body boiling involuntarily.
It's finally time to get started!
At the beginning, Xiahou Valve set the big time for this time, and he took the initiative to ask Ying to serve as the Qin Mission. Supposedly, in all respects, he is the most suitable candidate. But his brother Xiahouba was worried that he would make a mistake because of the wine, so he refused to let go.
The shame of not being recognized by the eldest brother until he was old made Xiahou Lei feel ashamed. He patted his chest and made a military order in public, promising that he would not drink alcohol along the way, not get close to women, and never make a mistake. Xiahou Ba reluctantly agreed, but he still sent Xiahou Bupo to accompany him, to put it bluntly, he still didn't worry about him!
Now, he has fulfilled his mission perfectly! As long as the next action is successful, you can pat your chest and say to your brother, fortunately, you will not fail in your mission!
Will it be successful? Xiahou Lei is convinced! Xiahou Valve has exhausted his last resort, as long as Lu Xin completes the encirclement, he can catch turtles in the urn!
。
Before the Dingding of this dynasty, the world was in turmoil for 300 years, and people were not as good as dogs. There are many heroes and wealthy people, gathering the old people and building thousands of dock forts in order to protect themselves from the troubled times.
At that time, almost all the clans were based on the dock fort to protect the clansmen and continue the bloodline. Some dock forts have been continuously repaired and expanded for hundreds of years and more than ten generations, and the scale is larger than that of ordinary villages and towns, and the walls of the forts are stronger than the cities of the government. Moreover, the children in the fort have the same lineage and hatred for the enemy, and their combat effectiveness far exceeds that of ordinary armies. It is because the separatist regimes in various places have a headache for these dock forts, so they can only avoid them in order to be safe.
It was not until after the Dingding of this dynasty that Emperor Gaozu swept away the power of Liuhe and ordered the demolition of the dock fort in the world. After twenty years of hard fighting, most of the dock forts disappeared, but some survived. These dock forts are either located in remote areas and beyond the reach of the imperial court, or they are sheltered by the seven major lords, and the imperial court is helpless.
Bailiuzhuang Wubao does not belong to these two situations, and the reason why it can survive the blows of the imperial court is because of the Wucheng Zhou clan! The Zhou family is a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, and its status in the Southern Dynasties in the past is no less than that of the Seven Great Lords today. After the fall of the Great Qian, unlike those unruly Jiangnan wealthy clans, the Zhou clan soon expressed their submission to Daxuan, and actively cooperated with the imperial court to stabilize the place and control the people, becoming a model of the great clan in the eyes of the imperial court.
For this reason, Emperor Gaozu issued several orders to reward the Zhou family, and considering that the Zhou family was not allowed to be allowed by the wealthy families in Jiangnan, he authorized them to keep the dock fort for self-defense. With the emperor's permission, the Zhou family moved against the current, and when others were forced to demolish the dock fort, they wantonly expanded the dock fort! In the past ten years, the scale of Bailiuzhuang Wubao has expanded several times, and from a distance, it looks like a small city, which is daunting!
At the beginning of Yin, Lu Xin led the army to appear in front of Bailiu Mountain, and everyone gasped when they looked at the dock wall that stretched for several miles and was more than two zhang high.
Xiahou's uncle and nephew also looked solemn, thinking that using 5,000 soldiers and horses to attack Bailiuzhuang was to kill chickens with a knife. However, when I went to the scene, if I accidentally alarmed the enemy army and fell into a strong attack, I am afraid that the strength of the army is far from enough......
"Can Lu Xin do it?" Xiahou Lei couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart and said, "It's better to transfer Danyang's soldiers to help ......."
"Ready to fly, I have to send it!" Xiahou Bupo shook his head categorically and said, "You can only use people without doubt!" ”
Xiahou Lei looked at Lu Xin, who was preparing to attack the city in front of him, and prayed indiscriminately to the gods and Buddhas......
Lu Xin's expression was as usual, he pointed to the black dock wall, and said to the more than 200 elite soldiers in front of him: "This time is the time when the guards are the most lax. Be sure to take the opportunity to get under the dock wall! After a pause, he commanded in a deep voice: "After climbing the city wall, open the city gate as soon as possible, and enlarge the army into the city!" ”
"Yes." More than 200 elite soldiers received the order in a low voice and turned away.
Lu Xin stopped the captain of the team and said in a low voice: "If you can't do anything, retreat immediately, and take all the responsibility!" ”
The lieutenant was stunned for a moment, saluted Lu Xinshen, and then turned to chase after his men.
The fourth watch is the time when people sleep the deepest, so thieves often choose to enter the house at this time to steal, so the fourth watch is also called the time of 'dog thieves'!
More than 200 elite soldiers dressed in black and wiping the ashes on the bottom of the pot touched the cat's waist towards the dock fort when the dog was thieves. These soldiers were not very skilled in martial arts, but they were extremely well trained, and they stalked silently in the night, quietly removing the barricades outside the fort, and slowly swimming across the moat, and when they crawled under the wall, the guards above still did not notice.
Although thanks to the thorough intelligence in advance, they were able to do so easily, but the superb quality shown by the soldiers still made Xiahou who was watching the battle not break the secret attack. Being able to train a group of ordinary soldiers like this, this Lu Xin is really impressive!
。
More than 200 elite soldiers, prostrate under the base of the wall, motionless, looking at their captain.
The captain of the lead kept his ears close to the wall, listening carefully to the footsteps above. After waiting for a cup of tea, he raised his head and threw the flying claws in his hand sideways towards the wall!
Seeing this, the rest of the elders also threw their claws at the wall with all their might!
There was a few soft clangs, and the claws carried a long rope over the wall and hooked onto the battlement. With a strong pull, the rope was tightened, and the soldiers climbed towards the city with their hands and feet!
After a few breaths, the captain climbed to the top of the city with more than a dozen people, holding his blade and fanning it on guard!
Behind them, the advance soldiers were climbing up one after another. At this time, I saw a few lights from far and near, and it was the patrol team Zhuang Ding who went and returned!
Seeing that they were about to be discovered, the soldiers clenched their blades and held their breath to prepare for battle!
The captain's heart shrank into a ball, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his cheeks. Based on prior intelligence and actual observations, the patrol should have fifty breaths to go. At this moment, somehow, it turned back in advance!
Although there are not many enemies, as long as there is a battle, it will definitely reveal its tracks and thwart the plan to seize the city gates!
The lieutenant was in a dilemma, and suddenly saw a soldier next to him swept out silently like a bat, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of the team of Zhuang Ding ten zhang away!
The fourth watch day is the most sleepy time for people, the Zhuang Ding patrolled for half the night, and the sleepiness reached the extreme, because the patrol distance continued to shrink, and the time to turn back was naturally earlier than expected. They were yawning as they moved, when they suddenly felt a strong gust of wind blowing in their faces!
The Zhuang Ding looked up blankly, and saw an uninvited guest dressed in black and holding two knives had arrived in front of them!
The Zhuang Ding are excited, some want to draw their swords to meet the enemy, and some want to shout warnings! But I saw that the other party turned into a phantom and inserted people into it! The twin knives in his hands flew like butterflies, and each knife cut the throat of a Zhuang Ding!
In the blink of an eye, the black-clothed Yama penetrated Zhuang Ding's team!
And those farmers fell to the ground like a downed sugar cane, clutching their throats, and did not have time to call out from beginning to end......
With the help of the lantern that fell to the ground, the soldiers saw that the man pulled a pair of sword flowers in the air, shook off the blood beads on the blades, and then returned the swords to the sheath, and strode towards the gatehouse!
"What are you doing in a daze, keep up!" The lieutenant wondered very much, how could such a master emerge under his command? But now is clearly not the time to get to the bottom of it!
The soldiers followed the man, and along the way they encountered two more patrols, all of which were silently killed by the retaining Yama, and they did not need to intervene at all.
Outside the gatehouse, they were still not exposed......
Then the man in black suddenly stopped, frowning and looking into the castle. The soldiers all stood involuntarily, waiting for his next move.
Unexpectedly, the man in black jumped off the wall several feet high and disappeared into the black dock fort.
Obviously, the other party will not continue to escort. The captain was not sorry, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone has already sent us to the door, if you can't take this down, just jump down and fall to your death!" After saying that, he took the lead and entered the city gate tower!
The soldiers had already been blocked by the black-clothed man and god, and the blood of the infection was boiling, and they followed the captain to kill it!
The lights in the gatehouse were dim, and dozens of Zhuang Ding on duty were lying or sitting there napping, and they could even hear the snoring sound outside. In the eyes of the Zhuang Ding, there are patrols outside, so naturally there is nothing to worry about.
What's more, how can anyone dare to mess with the Zhou family?
As a result, the excited officers and soldiers rushed into the gatehouse, chopped melons and vegetables, and killed these half-asleep guys!
The lieutenant dropped his sword, and together with the two captains, moved the winch, and the suspended suspension bridge slowly fell. In the quiet dawn, the sound of the iron rope grinding is very clear!
