Chapter 78: Taking Their Lives While They Are Trapped
Throughout the night, the Lu Bu military camp did not stop.
Every once in a while, the trumpet blows. Every once in a while, the drums of war in the army will also beat in the mountains.
Knowing in advance that it would be very noisy at night, the soldiers who slept covered their ears with rags.
I can still hear sounds, but it's a lot better than doing nothing.
At first, Lu Bu was also not used to the noisy trumpets and war drums.
In the second half of the night, he was so sleepy that he finally fell asleep.
The sky was bright, and the tent was translucent in the sunlight, and Lu Bu opened his eyes.
The guards who were guarding outside heard the sound and turned and went into the tent.
The guards helped Lu Bu put on his armor.
Tidy up, Lu Bu left the tent.
Zhang Liao greeted him: "Wen Hou slept well last night?" ”
"Okay." Lu Bu replied: "I fell asleep in the second half of the night, and the horns and war drums sounded in unison, which was indeed too noisy. ”
"The defenders were tossed at night." Zhang Liao said: "Once our army blows the horn, they have to be on guard. ”
"You've been on guard all night?" Lu Bu asked.
"General Ji and I take turns staring." Zhang Liao replied: "General Ji went back to sleep in the second half of the night. ”
Coming to the edge of the barracks and looking at the city wall in the distance, Lu Bu asked again: "How long has it been since the horn has been blown?" ”
"It's half an hour." Zhang Liao asked, "Is it possible that you have to ...... during the day?"
"Absolutely." A smile appeared on the corner of Lu Bu's mouth: "We just want to make them sleep unstable." ”
"Herald!" He instructed Zhang Liao: "Every half hour, there will be a trumpet and war drums in unison." Before the siege, we exhausted the defenders, and once they slack, Guangling was ours. ”
"I'll go." Understanding Lu Bu's intentions, Zhang Liao turned around and left.
The military order was given, and in a few moments, the war drums and trumpets sounded in unison again.
Zhang Liao was about to go back to Lu Bu's side, but Ji Ling chased after him.
His eyes were dark, and he clearly hadn't slept well.
"General Wenyuan." Stopping Zhang Liao, Ji Ling asked, "What is Wen Hou doing?" Didn't stop all night and came back early in the morning? ”
"Wen Hou is so noisy, at least the officers and men of our army have a chance to sleep." Zhang Liao said: "Every time the horn and war drums sound, the enemy has to be on guard, which is much harder than ours. ”
"It's been a lot of noise all night, did Wen Hou say when to attack?" Ji Ling said: "I've come to Guangling, can't I just spend it?" ”
"I don't know what Wen Hou is going to do." Zhang Liao replied: "If General Ji wants to ask, go directly to see Wen Hou." ”
Accompanying Zhang Liao to Lu Bu's side, Ji Ling asked, "Wen Hou, when are we going to attack?" After arguing all night, listening to the horns and war drums, I felt very uncomfortable. ”
"Don't talk about you, even I feel very uncomfortable." Lu Bu said: "Compared to us, Chen Deng on the other side is even more uncomfortable. The trumpets and war drums sounded, did he respond to the battle or not? If there is a battle, most of the people will not attack the city. If they didn't fight, wouldn't they be caught off guard if our army suddenly attacked? ”
Zhang Liao and Ji Ling are both generals who lead troops all year round.
If they were defending the city, the horns and war drums outside the city would sound in unison, and they would also order the soldiers to be on guard in advance.
But anyone who has been doing something for a long time but can't wait for the result will become slack and neglect to take precautions.
Lu Bu's arrangement was nothing more than a technique to tire the enemy.
Once the defenders are exhausted, although the disparity between the forces of the two sides is not much, the siege will become handy.
For a whole day, Lu Bu's army would blow the horn and beat the war drums of attack every half hour.
At the head of the city, Chen Deng has a panda eye on his head.
The soldiers beside him were all like eggplants that had been beaten by frost, wilting and lacking their spirits.
No wonder the defenders are like this, every time Lu Bujun blows the horn, they have to deal with it once.
After staying up all night and day long, how can people still have spirit.
"Yuanlong!" With a greeting, Liu Bei took Mi Fang to the city wall and came to Chen Deng's side.
Like Chen Deng, Liu Bei and Mi Fang also have dark circles under their eyes, like pandas.
"The envoy is here." Chen Deng greeted weakly.
His brain was in a mess, and his tongue was a little hard when he spoke.
"Yuanlong hasn't slept until now?" Liu Bei asked.
"Lu Bu blows the horn and beats the war drums every once in a while, although every time it is an illusion, he still has to deal with it, how can he have time to sleep?" Chen Deng said: "If he doesn't deal with it once, he suddenly leads the army to kill, and Guangling will be gone." ”
"Why didn't Yuanlong let the soldiers take turns to sleep?" Liu Bei said: "Even if Lu Bu led the army to kill, some of the soldiers resisted the enemy, and the other half also rested. ”
"Going to sleep in turns?" Chen Deng said: "There are so many things in the city that need to be taken care of, and Lu Bu is eyeing him outside the city, who do I let go to sleep?" ”
"But stay up like this......" Liu Bei wanted to say but stopped.
"We'll talk about it in the evening." Looking out of the city, Chen Deng felt a chill on his scalp, and his vision was a little blurry.
If you are too sleepy, your brain will become extremely sluggish.
Although Liu Bei had a dark circle under his eyes, he still slept for a while after all.
Chen Deng has been guarding the city, and he has never closed his eyes once.
Even if he was asked to find a random place to lie down, he would fall asleep right away.
Night fell again, and the head of Guangling City was shrouded in a layer of depression.
Most of the soldiers who had not slept for a whole day and a night were already sleepy and could not straighten their waists.
After sleeping for a while during the day, Lu Bu, who was full of energy, stood outside the barracks with Fang Tian's halberd.
Zhang Liao and Ji Ling stood beside him on the left and right.
Behind them were black-clad and stubborn soldiers.
The soldiers did not light the torches, and from the top of the city they looked at the darkness, and the people and the night were all one.
"Wen Hou, let's do it with me." Lu Bu stared at the city wall at night, and Zhang Liao whispered.
"The enemy army is already sleepy like cats, am I still afraid of them?" A shallow smile appeared on the corner of Lu Bu's mouth, and he ordered Zhang Liao: "Order, no one is allowed to make a sound when charging." ”
"Pass down the military order." Zhang Liao turned his head: "No one is allowed to make a sound during the attack." ”
More than 3,000 soldiers held their breath and stared, just waiting for Lu Bu to give the order to charge.
Glancing back, seeing that the soldiers were ready, Lu Bu held Fang Tian's halberd and pointed forward, and rushed out.
The soldiers charged like a tidal wave.
At night, looking from the city wall, the charging Lu Bujun was like a surging black wave, rolling towards Guangling City.
The defenders were so sleepy that they didn't notice anyone rushing up at first.
It wasn't until Lu Bu led his soldiers to rush to the city wall only thirty or forty steps away that he was discovered by the defenders at the head of the city.
"Lu Bu is here! Defend the whole army against the enemy! "At the top of the city, trumpets sounded, and the defenders suddenly made a mess of noise.
