Chapter 112: Night Attack on Changzhou
Wang Yan led 100,000 wind troops, with great fanfare, the banner in the army was unfurled, and the erected banner was engraved with 'Lu', 'Xiao', 'Zhao', and so on, and there were all kinds of flags, countless arrows, and they were also escorted to Wuguan by a cart, just the convoy transporting grain, it is estimated that there are tens of thousands of people, which makes people look on the surface, it is undoubtedly that Lu Chen has concentrated all his forces, and wants to use the fastest speed to retreat the barbarian soldiers, so as to stabilize the rear.
And the news that Xizuo brought to Yang Cheng was that all of Lu Chen's troops had been transferred to Wuguan.
This made Yang Cheng, who had always been worried, finally relieved, in the past few days, he was suffocated, at this time in his heart, Wuyang County was no longer in danger, so he didn't say a word, and that night he held a feast in the county capital of Changzhou, inviting civil and military officials at all levels in Changzhou to come to the banquet.
As the so-called soldiers are blazing and one general is in a nest, people would never have thought that the barbarian army's large-scale attack on Wuguan would be Lu Chen's strategy to secretly attack Changzhou. The county capital is singing and dancing, and the county army at the head of Changzhou City, after nightfall, it is even more crooked, and they are dozing off against the wall......
In the dark of the night.
A sharp arrow pierced the sky and struck the eyebrows of a county soldier, and even to death, he was still dreaming......
Then, there was an overwhelming rain of arrows, sweeping through the city, and for a while, the miserable howls came one after another, and also woke up the county soldiers who were still dozing. Someone looked out of the city, and they were immediately frightened!
I saw that outside the city of Changzhou, I don't know when, tens of thousands of troops have appeared unconsciously, countless torches gathered together, crowded, dotted, and there is no end in sight.
"Enemy attack - there is an enemy attack!"
Finally someone reacted.
"Quick! Fast! Hurry up and call for help—" A county soldier screamed, but at this time they found out that there was an enemy army, and it was obviously too late!
If at this time, a general who can command the overall situation appears, maybe he can stabilize it for a while and a half, and then counterattack! But Yang Cheng, the head of the county, and the generals at all levels, are still drunk and dreaming in the county mansion! There is a huge Changzhou city defense, where can you find a general who can command the overall situation!
Siege warfare, it's time to grab it! If you delay for a second longer, you don't know how many soldiers will be killed or injured! The county army panicked, Zhao Chuan would not give them time to react, and with an order, the wind army began to attack the city!
"This battle! It is a battle that determines whether our gale will destroy the country, and it is also a battle that determines the life and death of our army! All soldiers! Be sure to fight your way! In half an hour! Changzhou must be breached!! ”
Countless ladders were erected on the city wall, and another team of soldiers pushed the siege vehicle to the city gate, and began to make a violent impact on the Changzhou city gate!
This time, Zhao Chuan led the 60,000 infantry troops, all of whom were a group of brothers who followed Lu Chen in the early days, all of them were extremely brave, I don't know how many fierce battles they had fought with the barbarian army, this night attack on Changzhou, under the mobilization of Zhao Chuan, the whole army was even more warlike!
The arrows overhead were still squirming towards the city, and below, the wind soldiers threw off their arms and charged forward, swarming up the ladder......
In the case of this kind of rush attack, where can it take half an hour, only a moment of effort, there are already wind troops along the ladder to climb the city, under the round of arrows just now, even if there are still some county troops on the city head who are not dead, but at this moment, it is already a mess!
Without the command of the generals, there were not many people to defend the city walls! Compared with such wolf-like soldiers of the Wind Army, the county army is simply too docile! Almost without the power to resist, they were either killed by the wind army that rushed to the city, or they were so frightened that they scattered and fled for their lives!
"The gates are broken! Brothers, rush! ”
"Kill—"
At the same time, the tall city gate of Changzhou also cracked, and at that moment, the earth-shattering shouts of killing sounded under the city tower......
In the county capital, in the center of the hall, several Kabuki are dancing, with light gauze sleeves, water snake waists, graceful postures, and elegant dance music.
Yang Cheng, the head of the county, drank with a red face, he held a wine glass, looked at the officials at all levels below, and said with a smile: "Come!" Come! This official salutes you again, and now Tusi led an army of 200,000 to attack Wuguan, Lu Chen's backyard caught fire, and he was too busy to take care of himself, I don't have to worry about it......"
"The land thief is beyond his strength, the grasshopper shakes the tree, and he dares to compete with the king......"
"Let's wait for a cup of ...... to the head of the county"
Everyone raised their glasses together, and for a while, there was laughter on the field, and the sound of pushing cups and changing lamps was endless.
"Report~~~"
Just then, a soldier dressed as a soldier of the county army burst in screaming, and as soon as he entered the hall, he fell to the ground, and said in a trembling voice:
"County ...... Lord Gun! Zhao Chuan, Lu Chen's general, led the army to attack Changzhou at night! This...... At this moment, the city gate has been breached by the enemy......"
"What!?" When Yang Cheng heard this, he stood up from his seat in shock. Another general shouted angrily: "Fart! At this moment, the army of the land thieves is clearly fighting against the barbarian army in Wuguan! How can you attack Changzhou at night!? Could it be that the army from heaven will not succeed!? ”
"General, enemy ...... The enemy army is out of nowhere, and our soldiers defending the city don't know when the enemy army arrived at the city, really...... It's like falling from the sky...... "The county army stammered back.
"I listen to you fart!" The general screamed angrily, got up and drew the saber at his waist, and prepared to kill the sergeant of the county on the spot.
"Woe to you! Woe to you—"
But at this moment, another county soldier stumbled in, fell to his knees, and said breathlessly:
"Lord Gun! Oh no! Zhao Chuan has led his army into the city, and he is about to reach the county capital......"
"Bang-" The wine glass that Yang Cheng was still holding in his hand fell to the ground, and then, as if his strength had been drained all of a sudden, he sat back in his seat limply.
With the report of the county soldier, the shouts and howls of killing and screaming in the county capital can be faintly heard in the county capital.
At this time, everyone in the hall began to panic, and for a while, the kataka screamed and began to flee for their lives, and the civil and military officials at all levels in Changzhou also did not know what to do like headless flies.
Looking at Yang Cheng, who was in a daze, a general of the county army hurriedly stepped forward to pull him up from his seat and said urgently: "Oops! My lord! The enemy army has broken through Changzhou! It's better to run for your life now! ”
"That's right! Right! Fast! Fast! General, cover your officer's escape! If we delay any longer, I'm afraid the enemy will be killed here—"
Yang Cheng, who came back to his senses, urged again and again with strange screams.
When it comes to running for his life, he is more afraid of death than anyone present!
