Chapter 159: Night Attack
When Lu Bu received the news of Dong Zhuo's assassination, he was already preparing to set off to the military camp of the Bingzhou Army in the northern suburbs of Luoyang to guard the overall situation.
Originally, according to Jia Xu's plan, Lu Bu's best approach in the early stage of this turmoil was to be alone, not to participate in it too early, especially the state army, to control the situation, not to let it participate in this chaos too early, in fact, it was obvious to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, even if he had already made up his mind not to let Dong Zhuo die, and he must let the royalists be destroyed, but it did not prevent him from sitting and watching them lose before taking action.
It's a pity that the fisherman is not so easy to be, and when he heard that Dong Zhuo was assassinated in his own mansion, and when all the guards were dispatched, Lu Bu couldn't sit still.
He found that he seemed to have underestimated the menacing counterattack of the royalists, and their preparations were definitely more than what he had seen and thought.
Strictly speaking, Lu Bu may only be able to call it "foreign aid" to the current Wang Yun, so it is not surprising that they have something to hide from him.
In fact, for Wang Yun and they will send someone to assassinate Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu knows very well that this is a necessary step, but whether it is Lu Bu or Li Ru, including Dong Zhuo himself, he is quite confident that the other party will not succeed, because now Dong Zhuo's side does not talk about those guards, just a Wang Yue who is proficient in the way of assassination is enough to come to the land.
It's just that they couldn't have imagined that under Wang Yue's protection, Dong Zhuo was actually assassinated, and it was still under Wang Yue's nose, although the swordsman was very angry and helpless, but this was the case, and it also made Lu Bu feel that the other party should not be underestimated.
Jia Xu is not by his side now, and there is no one to discuss for a while, after thinking about it for a long time, Lu Bu finally decided not to go to the barracks first, and go to see Dong Zhuo first.
At this critical juncture, Dong Zhuo must not die, otherwise there will be a big mess, Guangguang may be able to control the situation with Lu Bu's current prestige, but he will have to pay a heavy price, and this is the last thing Lu Bu wants to see, after all, that will give the princes of the world an opportunity to take advantage of, and the chaos of the Han Dynasty may really be endless.
Without saying anything, he decided to immediately take his personal soldiers all the way to Xiangguofu and quickly arrived at Xiangguofu, he was still in a dusty military uniform, and he didn't have time to change it, but the people in Xiangguofu didn't stop Lu Bu, they all knew his identity who dared to stop him, and Dong Zhuo didn't have to worry about others being unfavorable to him now.
Lu Bu stepped into Xiangguo's mansion, but his mood slowly calmed down, he knew that no matter how urgent he was now, it would be useless, and he still had to look at Dong Zhuo's situation before making plans; As for the Bingzhou Army, Lu Bu believes that it doesn't matter if he goes later, whether it is Zhang Liao or Gao Shun, they can sit still without chaos, not to mention that the Bingzhou Army is now trained by him to have a bit of a new army, and it will not mess up.
Lu Bu didn't know that the barracks of the Bingzhou Army, which he was least worried about now, also had a mess, and the cause was ridiculous, but it was due to the sneak attack of a small army.
Originally, this huge military camp was very peaceful on such a night, and they had spent many nights like this, and this night would have been only one of them, but some people were destined to be unwilling to let them calm down.
Just when most of the soldiers in the Bingzhou army were asleep except for the patrol soldiers, there were more than a dozen figures slowly approaching them not far from them.
Under the cover of the night, coupled with the fact that they are not very numerous, they can even be said to be small among the long dragons of this huge camp, and they are very cautious and observant between the marches, of course, on the other hand, there is also the "cooperation" of the state army itself, after all, although this army now has a new atmosphere, but people are people, it is impossible to become gods through training, and habit is a terrible thing, when these days they have gradually become accustomed to the calm night and spend peacefully, Naturally, at this time, the heart will relax some vigilance, and as soon as the vigilance is relaxed, the patrol of the military camp looks very tense and strict from the outside, in fact, when you enter it, you will find that it is very loose, so this small team actually sneaked in, and their destination is very clear, and it has long been confirmed that the place is now moving towards the goal, which is the military food storage place of the Bingzhou army.
All the way to this place, they have to carry out their plans, the torches have been lit, and the fire oil they carry with them has also been taken out to prepare to pour on these military rations, but they also committed the same mistake as the soldiers of the Bingzhou army, that is, they have not encountered any trouble and obstruction along the way, and they are not aware of some habits such laxity, and even the people who look at the wind have not deliberately set aside one, but they have not thought that there are always exceptions to everything, It was as if one of the soldiers who had just left the camp to relieve themselves had noticed their strangeness.
Not to mention their sneaky appearance, what they are wearing is very different, too conspicuous, this soldier just woke up and his eyes were still a little worried, and he rubbed it to see clearly, this clear view is shocking, these people are dressed like the sworn enemy Xiliang Army, how can they appear in their own barracks?
Then their own actions gave the soldier, who did not know whether to say fortunate or unfortunate, the answer was to burn the rations, and he suddenly sobered up and did not dare to remain silent any longer, and shouted in a loud voice: "Enemy attack, enemy attack...... The stinky cubs of the Xiliang Army are coming to attack us at night! ”
"They're going to burn our rations......"
This shout caused an uproar in the originally quiet barracks, most of the soldiers had a relatively shallow sleep, after all, they still maintained due vigilance, and when they heard the sound, they immediately rolled down from the bed and rushed out of the camp, and then followed the sound, not to mention the soldiers who were patrolling, and suddenly everyone woke up, and then their attention was attracted by this side, but the speed under their feet was not slow, and they rushed over one after another.
Correspondingly, the faces of the soldiers of the Xiliang Army who were about to burn the food of the Bingzhou Army became gloomy, and three of them rushed up to catch the unlucky ghost of the Bingzhou Army who reported the news, he struggled but instead caused the disaster of killing, and was directly hacked to death by the enemy who was angry and had nowhere to vent because he was discovered, and the rest of the people continued the unfinished "business", lit the torches one by one, and the oil they prepared had been spilled some, and hurriedly threw a torch into it, Suddenly there was a bang and a terrible huge flame suddenly jumped out several feet high, so that the person who threw the torch was startled, and then the others also painted the gourd, but it was a little too late, because this place was quickly surrounded, and the soldiers of the state army also changed their faces when they saw what they were going to do, and they rushed up to stop it.
The oil has not been poured out yet, the fire is not spreading much, and it is completely too late to rescue, and the recruits may have some clumsy plans to deal with this kind of scene, but those veterans naturally have experience, and they have tried their best to fight the fire, and some people rushed forward to fight with these sneak attack Xiliang soldiers.
After all, the number of people was already at an absolute disadvantage, and soon these people were tied up one after another, and the reason why they were not killed was because the other party had someone who was in charge, and Wei Xu and Song Xian, who were still in the barracks with the highest status and the strongest strength, appeared......
