Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Battle for Luoyang (17)
In the blink of an eye, the moon and stars were scarce, and the tiger prison was closed in pitch black, only a few braziers were burning on the close, and the faint flames were fluttering in the wind.
At the time of the second watch, looking at the tiger prison that was lying across the mountains like a giant beast, I secretly thought that success or failure was tonight.
"Beat the drums!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom! The dense beat of the drums resounded over the Tiger Prison.
"The enemy is attacking the city!"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" The soldiers of the Cao army did not have time to get dressed neatly, so they got up and rushed out with their weapons.
Le Jin, who was asleep, suddenly got up, carried a big knife out of the door and rushed to close it, but when he arrived at the gate, he didn't find the enemy figure, and turned his head to see a few big drums swinging under the pass, and several men were sweating like rain.
"And that won't let people sleep?"
"I scolded all afternoon in the afternoon, and now I come again, I know how to go out of the city to fight to the death in the afternoon!"
"What general Cao Jun, it must be blown!"
A soldier's whisper came into Lejin's ears with the breeze, making his face blue and white for a while.
In the second and half shifts, the soldiers of Cao Jun were sleeping sweetly.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
A rapid drum beat suddenly sounded again, and the earth-shattering drum beat was even more majestic in the silent night.
"The enemy is attacking the city!"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
There was a sound of harmony, and the sleeping soldiers of the Cao army rubbed their sleepy eyes, opened their mouths wide, and climbed up the city tower with weak steps, but there was no enemy on the city tower as far as the eye could see.
"This group of unvirtuous grandsons ......," Cao Jun muttered angrily.
At this time, Le Jin was only wearing a coat, and he didn't wear armor and came to the front of the pass with a big knife and a black face, "Transfer the soldiers in front of you and take turns on duty!" ”
"Whoa!"
At the third watch, a dense drum beat suddenly sounded again.
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy of your size, this group of turtle grandsons sincerely won't let me wait for sleep!"
"Bluff, let's sleep!"
The soldiers of Cao Jun muttered a few curses, and continued to sleep without opening their eyes.
Approaching the fourth watch, in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, a team of people and horses took advantage of the night to quietly lie down the pass.
"General, there are not many people on the gate!" The adjutant general whispered in Li Changgeng's ear.
"I don't want to think about being tortured by General Yang all night, how many people can hold on until now?" Li Changgeng said in a low voice.
"Still a wise general!" The lieutenant patted the horse's ass.
"Alright, throw the hook up!" Li Changgeng patted the deputy general's shoulder and whispered to the surrounding soldiers.
Following the hook, taking advantage of the night, one by one the figures swished and disappeared in front of the pass, easily solving a few sleeping Cao Jun soldiers, and the front pass of the Tiger Prison Pass was in the hands of Li Changgeng.
It is obviously not enough to easily obtain the front pass of the Tiger Prison Pass, Li Changgeng led people to rush into the pass, and he wanted to capture all the Cao troops here, so that the Tiger Prison Pass could really belong to Yang Shuo.
"Lead someone to open the gate of the city after the pass, and General Yang will enter the pass!" Li Changgeng instructed the adjutant general.
Half-asleep Le Jin always felt that something was wrong, and the enemy soldiers beating drums in the middle of the night were just to disturb them and not let him sleep? The more he thought about Lejin, the more he felt that something was wrong, and a terrible thought appeared in his mind.
Le Jin turned over and got up, casually put on a coat, carried a big knife and went out of the door, and pounced on a sturdy man, by the moonlight, this person in front of him was about seven feet high, holding a spear in both hands, and looked at him vigilantly.
This person is not a soldier of the Cao Army, a thought flashed in Le Jin's mind instantly, and he turned his head to look at the soldiers who were cautiously pouring in, the clothes were different from the soldiers of the Cao Army, at this time, you don't need to think about it to know that most of the enemy soldiers climbed the Tiger Prison Pass by taking advantage of the night, but if you want to take my Tiger Prison Pass, no way! Le Jin roared, "Enemy attack! ”
A sharp exhalation was quite loud in the quiet night sky, which made the soldiers of Yang Shuojun, who were still condensed and vain, stunned, "Quick!" Go and open the city gate and let Yang Zaixing in! ”
Li Changgeng opened the gate of the city before the pass, and the army came in, and led the army into the Tiger Prison Pass to meet a strong man, wearing only a coat in the cold night, he was still calm, and he looked at Li Changgeng with a look of consternation with a big knife in his hand.
Since entering the Tiger Prison Pass, he has been cautious all the way and still alarmed Cao Jun, and Li Changgeng secretly said badly! was about to step forward and cut the man to the ground, but the man roared, which was especially eye-catching in the silent night.
Li Changgeng instructed the soldiers around him to open the gate behind the Tiger Prison Pass, and he jumped lightly and shot up, vowing to kill the short boy in front of him, and dare to harm him for good things, how could he not make Li Changgeng angry.
A spear with a bloody heart stabbed straight into Le Jin's chest, drawing a bright light in the dark night sky. Not to be outdone, Le Jin roared and swung his knife at Li Changgeng, the thief had just entered the Tiger Prison, and there might be a chance to regain it.
"Ding!"
The swords and guns collided and collided with a string of sparks, illuminating the two, and the power of the swords and guns also made the two secretly frightened.
Le Jin took the lead in every battle, and killed countless generals, but he was surprised as soon as he pounced, this person's martial arts seemed to be no less than him, the long knife slashed through the air and slashed a match, and his short body also leaned towards Li Changgeng.
One inch long and one inch short, Li Changgeng is holding a spear, Le Jin is holding a big knife, and it is more beneficial for Li Changgeng to separate the two, but what makes Li Changgeng angry is that the man in front of him is very good at climbing up the slope, and he is unconsciously close to him, and the long knife moves cannot leave his vital point.
Swinging a gun to block the spear, Li Changgeng took advantage of the situation to jump out of the circle and pulled a spear to stab Lejin.
The two of you come and go, fighting endlessly, and the tinkling is endless.
But what surprised Le Jin was that the two had been fighting for so long, only the enemy army was around him, and he Cao Jun was not visible, and there was no shouting at all, and there was a faint sound of horses' hooves at the city gate.
No wonder Le Jin thought so, Cao Jun, who had been disturbed by Yang Zaixing's attack all night, thought that Le Jin's shout was just a joke, turned over and fell asleep, and waited until Yang Shuo's saber was on his neck before he woke up, but it was too late.
I didn't see the sound of Cao's soldiers for a long time, and the sound of horses' hooves outside the city was getting closer and closer, Le Jin knew that if he persevered, he would be imprisoned, the tiger's body was shocked, and his strength increased by a few points.
Taking advantage of Li Changgeng's main focus on defense, Le Jin violently blocked Li Changgeng's spear, and flew backwards with both feet, waiting for Li Changgeng to catch up, there was darkness between heaven and earth, how could there be a figure of Le Jin.
Wait until dawn, wait for Yang Zaixing, Li Changgeng gathered the soldiers, all the 3,000 Cao soldiers in this battle were captured, and the enemy's main general Le Jin was nowhere to be found, Li Changgeng suddenly understood that the man who fought with him last night was actually the general of the Cao army, Le Jin, and he was annoyed for a while, beating his chest.
Easily captured the Tiger Prison Pass, Yang Zaixing immediately sent someone to inform Yang Shuo, and sent scouts to find out where Zhang Xutuo and Cao Cao were.
However, the news found out made the two of them feel half cold, Cao Cao led nearly 50,000 troops to Xingyang, less than a day away from the Tiger Prison Pass, Zhang Xutuo's reinforcements are still in Pingyang, even if the rapid march has to take two days, and the lord Yang Shuo is still in Chenggao and Cao Ren battle, if there is no reinforcement, how can he hold the Tiger Prison Pass.
It's easy to take the pass, but it's hard to keep it! The two of them were worried for a while.
