Chapter 249: Blitzkrieg (2)
The officer stationed in Luzhou City is a general surnamed Hou, this Hou general is Bi Shiduo's absolute henchman, when he was under Huang Chao, he was an officer under Bi Shiduo, and later surrendered to Gao Biao with Bi Shiduo, after Bi Shiduo served as the Huainan Jiedu envoy, this officer rose to the top and became a general, and was sent to Luzhou City by Bi Shiduo, leading 10,000 troops to be stationed in Luzhou City.
General Hou was very happy to be able to garrison Luzhou City, which showed that he had the absolute trust of Bi Shiduo, after all, not everyone could have a chance to lead a large army to be stationed outside.
Gao Biao's management of the sergeants under his command is relatively strict, one thing is that the sergeants are not allowed to be stationed in the city, so when General Hou followed Bi Shiduo, he was also stationed outside the city of Yangzhou, and the prosperity in the city has nothing to do with him, this is a military rule, it is not allowed to violate, and General Hou has no way.
After Bi Shiduo served as the envoy of Huainan Jiedu, the situation changed slightly, because he wanted to envelop 100,000 troops, Bi Shiduo's management of the sergeants was a little lax, and General Hou also tasted a lot of sweetness from it, and he was free in Yangzhou City for a long time, but unfortunately this time lasted too short, and then he was sent to Luzhou City to station.
After entering Luzhou City, what made General Hou happy was that it was just as prosperous as it was, with many restaurants and green buildings.
10,000 troops were stationed in Luzhou City, controlling the entire Luzhou City, and the patrol house of the state government did not dare to provoke the sergeants at all, and let the sergeants do whatever they wanted in the city.
General Hou was born in poverty before, unwilling to endure hardships, and unwilling to be satisfied with his duties, always thinking that he could get rich overnight and live a good life, so he joined the army of Huangchao, such an idea will never be erased, once the situation is better, this problem will be exposed.
After coming to Luzhou. Hou Shen will become the most powerful person in the place, the idea of enjoyment is like a flood, out of control, there is no restraint here, no one interferes, and no one will impeach, everything is decided by Hou Shen.
After being stationed in Luzhou for only a month, Hou Shen increased the number of women around him to more than a dozen, and most of these women were women in the Qinglou. As long as the appearance is better, Counselor Hou will find a way to get around.
All the enjoyment is supported by money, Hou Shen stretched out his hand to the state ya, since he is here to protect the safety of Luzhou, all the expenses naturally need to be responsible for the yamen, Luzhou assassin Shi did not dare to offend Hou Shen general, can only be as satisfied as possible, but unfortunately the yamen does not have so much silver, in the end it is to find a way on the heads of the gentry and wealthy families and businessmen.
Uplink and down. Hou Shen enjoyed himself, and the requirements for the sergeants stationed in the city were not so strict.
This caused many sergeants to leave the barracks without permission and go to restaurants and green buildings. The situation of eating and drinking for nothing also appeared, and even some sergeants left after prostituting themselves in the Qinglou.
The history of the Luzhou assassin couldn't help it anymore and wrote a letter to Bi Shiduo. Bi Shiduo just taught General Hou a lesson lightly, and still let General Hou be stationed in Luzhou, but this assassin was unlucky. was dismissed from the position of assassin history, returned to Yangzhou, and had nothing to do in the yamen of the Jiedu Envoy, this is still Bi Shiduo considering the impact, unwilling to pull down the truth, if it is according to his habits, this assassin history will be directly handed over to General Hou to deal with.
The newly appointed assassin was sent from the Yamen of the Jiedu Envoy, and he was very familiar with General Hou, so he naturally did not care about General Hou's affairs, and as for saying that the people were wronged, he would deal with it casually.
Because of General Hou's arbitrariness, and because of the arrogance of the soldiers stationed in the city, the people of Luzhou City were miserable, and even some gentry and wealthy families were difficult to persevere.
A few months have passed, and the sergeants stationed in Luzhou City have become the most hated people among the people and gentry and wealthy families in the city, but it is a pity that such grievances can only be forced in their hearts and dare not break out.
One of the most sensational things in Luzhou City is that General Hou Shen fell in love with a certain lady and forcibly wanted to marry this lady as his concubine, people must be opposed, and the other party is also considered to be the home of the eunuch, and there are some relationships in the capital, no one thought that the family disappeared from Luzhou City overnight, except for this lady who became the concubine of General Hou, the rest of the people are gone, no one knows where the family went, but many people think that General Hou has poisoned him.
The cohesion and centripetal force of the army mainly rely on military discipline to maintain, the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, in less than a year, the 10,000 troops stationed in Luzhou City, the combat effectiveness has dropped sharply, this 10,000 people were originally one of the most relied on by Bi Shiduo, and the change in a short period of time is so direct, it is by no means what Bi Shiduo can imagine.
After entering Layue, the sergeants stationed in the city were even more unscrupulous, and some people even directly brought the women of the Qinglou into the barracks, and the matter of drinking and fighting also appeared in the barracks.
The sergeant would never have imagined that the Iron Blood Army would launch an attack during the month of Layue, I'm afraid they just thought of it, and they didn't have any strength to resist.
Xie Yuxin watched as the special forces soldiers crossed the moat and headed towards the city wall.
The goose feather snow continued, and Xie Yuxin was surprised by such heavy snow, he could see white figures crawling from the moat to the opposite bank, but he couldn't see the actions of the special forces under the city wall.
The first batch of special forces officers and soldiers who climbed the city wall had fifteen people.
These fifteen men will not attack immediately, they need to secure the iron claws and ropes so that more soldiers can climb up.
In a short time, more than 200 people climbed the city walls.
The snow on the walls was so thick that not a single sergeant could be seen, but they were supposed to be inside the battlements of the wall, where they could keep out the cold.
More than 200 special forces officers and soldiers quickly dispersed, and in groups of ten, they rushed towards the many city wall battlements.
To their surprise, there were no sergeants in the battlements, which also indicated that the sergeants stationed on the city wall had long since left, and there were no sergeants on duty on the city wall.
There were more and more special forces soldiers climbing the city wall, but in a quarter of an hour, all the five hundred special forces soldiers went to the city wall, they didn't have to worry, and boldly climbed towards the city wall.
The other 500 special forces officers and soldiers quietly moved in the direction of the city gate.
When there were still about ten meters away from the city gate, the four special forces soldiers raised their bows and arrows in their hands, and the two of them dealt with a sergeant on duty, and the four bows and arrows shot out, and the two sergeants who were still pacing with their heads shrunk did not make any sound and fell to the ground.
Five hundred special forces soldiers quickly arrived at the city gate, and they were waiting for the special forces soldiers who had gone up to the city wall to open the city gate.
But half an hour passed, and the west gate slowly opened.
Many special forces entered the corridor and sped towards the city.
In the barracks only 100 meters away from the city wall, there was no sound, and the more than ten sergeants stationed here had already been cleanly killed by the special forces soldiers.
An officer began to arrange the task, 500 special forces officers and soldiers were responsible for stationing at the west gate, waiting for the arrival of the army, and the remaining 500 special forces officers and soldiers were divided into four teams, of which three teams took the south gate, east gate and north gate, and the other team was responsible for reconnaissance in the city, and must find the exact location of the barracks and find the nearest road.
Everything is going on quietly.
When the suspension bridge in front of the moat was lowered, Xie Yuxin, who had not left, showed a look of ecstasy on his face, although his limbs were a little numb, from the beginning of the action to the opening of the west gate and the lowering of the suspension bridge, it was a total of half an hour, during which there was no movement, as if none of this had happened.
took the West Gate so quickly, which Xie Yuxin didn't expect, there was no fighting, and there was no shouting, all that could be heard was the rustling sound of heavy snow falling.
There is no need to question the combat effectiveness of the special forces, but the sergeants stationed at the city gate are too weak in combat effectiveness, and they do not even resist at all.
Xie Yuxin understands that the blitzkrieg has been successful, and the next thing is the battle after the army enters Luzhou City, maybe the process of this fight is also very simple, and the battle can basically end before the arrival of the army behind.
This was a completely successful sneak attack and blitzkrieg, according to Xie Yuxin's prediction, the entire battle process would take at most an hour, and now it was not yet a moment of ugliness, and the army led by Li Rupei had already come towards Luzhou City.
The scouts around him reported that the South Gate, the East Gate, and the North Gate were controlled one after another.
At this moment, Luzhou City is still in darkness.
Two thousand sergeants finally reached the city gate, and according to the previous arrangement, the two thousand troops were outside the west gate.
Xie Yuxin flew on his horse, pulled out his Tang knife, and pointed in the direction of the city gate.
In the city, the special forces made arrangements left and right.
The soldiers who rushed into the city, followed behind the special forces soldiers, and rushed in the direction of the military camp and the state office, until this time, the hooves of the war horses were still wrapped in thick cotton cloth.
Xie Yuxin led five hundred special forces officers and soldiers to rush to the place where the state government was located, General Hou has always stayed in the state office, this intelligence army has long known, as long as General Hou is captured alive or killed, it is equivalent to defeating the soul of 10,000 troops.
The remaining two thousand sergeants rushed in the direction of the barracks.
Although the horse's hooves were wrapped in cotton cloth, the sound of vibration was not small, and some of the people in the city had noticed it, and they were unusually frightened, and clung to the door, although they knew that if the soldiers who attacked the city were thugs, their movements against the door of the house were very childish, but unfortunately they could only have this instinctive action.
The two thousand soldiers of the Iron Blood Army arrived at the barracks first, and without hesitation, they rushed into the barracks on their prancing horses.
The carnage unfolded in an instant...... (To be continued......)
