Chapter 250: Blitzkrieg (3)
When there was a violent knock on the door, General Hou was sleeping with the woman in his arms.
After being woken up by the knock on the door, the sleepy-eyed Hou Shen General was very unhappy, he was the emperor in Luzhou City, no one dared to disturb him, in the middle of the night, who would have such courage, but the one who could knock on the door, that is, the soldiers around him, it was impossible for the rest of the people to come outside the room.
Despite this, General Hou was also very unhappy, and he did not get up and open the door.
"Bastard, can't we wait until after dawn to talk about anything?"
"General Yu, someone has attacked Luzhou City."
Hearing this, General Hou was even more angry, a few days ago, there was a rebellion among some Diao people in the city, and the soldiers also came to report in the middle of the night, and when he got up, the rebellion had been suppressed, and this time there was a rebellion.
"It's this time, who will sneak attack Luzhou City, is it lying about the military situation below, if there is a rebellion in the city, the sergeant can deal with it, there is no need to disturb a certain ......"
Before General Hou finished speaking, there were screams and horses' hooves in the distance.
General Hou, who was awakened all of a sudden, quickly got up and began to grab his clothes indiscriminately, taking off his stripes when he slept, and not wearing any clothes.
The woman next to her was reluctant to move, hugging General Hou's body.
"If Lang Jun has something, just ask the people below to deal with it......"
The woman's coquettish voice made General Hou's body soft, he exhaled, ashamed of his panic, there are 10,000 troops stationed in the city, who is so bold to dare to rebel, it is not the sergeant who is suppressing the rebellious Diao people.
Thinking of this, General Hou stopped the movements of his hands.
"You take your own soldiers to scout. See what's going on, and if it's not a big deal, don't bother with it. ”
The soldiers outside the door hesitated, said yes, and left.
General Hou, who was about to sleep, soon found out that something was wrong, the screams outside were getting louder and louder, and the sound of horses' hooves was getting more and more, who would make such a big storm in Luzhou City, and besides, how could he not know such a big turmoil.
This time he couldn't sleep. I got up and started getting dressed.
The woman next to her stopped talking, this woman was a woman from Qinglou, she knew when she should speak and when she couldn't, and at this time, she continued to be coquettish, and in exchange for only reprimanding.
General Hou's clothes had not yet been put on, and the hurried voice of his soldiers came from outside.
"General, there is an army that has attacked Luzhou City. They have surrounded the state office, the outside of the state government has been breached, and they are about to enter the inner court......"
"Who the fuck has the audacity to really want to rebel. Immediately send the sergeants to exterminate this bandit......"
"Yes, my subordinates will do it, oops......"
Screams were heard outside the door. At this moment, General Hou was completely awake, jumped up in one go, and began to end the steel knife next to the bed.
Before he could touch the steel knife. The door had been slammed open, and the torches lit up the room in an instant.
"General Hou, I've disturbed your dreams."
A young man with a delicate face stood in the middle, surrounded by a number of sergeants, who had serious faces and a murderous aura, which made people fearful.
General Hou, whose face was pale, looked at everyone and opened his mouth mechanically.
"You, who are you, dare to rebel......"
In fact, General Hou had already expected who broke into the house, but he didn't want to believe that in such bad weather, it was still snowing outside, could these people be beaten with iron, and they could launch an attack in such weather.
"General Hou, this request before death, a certain will meet you, a certain is the general of the Iron and Blood Army Xie Yuxin, a certain wants to borrow your head for use, over there in the military camp, don't want to kill, those sergeants see your head, presumably many people will lay down their weapons."
General Hou jumped up instinctively, and before his body fell under the bed, a special soldier stepped forward and waved the Tang knife in his hand, General Hou's head and body were separated, and the blood splattered into the air, and his body quickly fell to the ground.
When the woman on the bed saw this, she screamed and passed out.
The barracks were already in disarray.
Although there were quite a few people, but in the face of the sudden attack, the sergeants who were not prepared at all had no time to resist, and many of the sergeants who rushed out of the barracks were cut down in an instant, and some smart sergeants chose to stick to the barracks, but unfortunately the ferocious fire burned, and the snowflakes that fell in the air turned into flakes of mist under the light of the fire.
When Xie Yuxin rushed over with five hundred special forces soldiers, the battle was still ongoing, and some of the sergeants began to resist under the organization of the officers, which was an instinctive resistance, but unfortunately such a resistance did not have much effect, and it was impossible to influence the situation of the battle, after all, the sergeants who were attacked by the sneak attack were unable to organize effective resistance.
The head of General Hou was hung on a spear.
When many sergeants saw General Hou's head, they immediately stopped resisting, put down their weapons, and knelt on the ground.
There were also some officers who resisted, after all, they were Bi Shiduo's henchmen.
The addition of the special forces made the massacre even more bloody, and when the special forces shot, the target was very accurate, that is, to those officers, although some officers were escorted by sergeants, but when facing the special forces, they did not have the slightest power to fight back, and fell to the ground like chopping melons and vegetables.
More sergeants surrendered, laid down their weapons, and fell to their knees.
There are also some sergeants who choose to escape, but unfortunately their fate is even more tragic, there are soldiers of the Iron and Blood Army waiting at the door of the barracks and around, and the special forces officers and soldiers who control the four gates of the southeast, northwest and northwest, there are only 100 people left, and the rest are guarding the outside of the barracks, and when they see the sergeants who escape, they are mercilessly killed.
More and more corpses piled up outside the barracks, and the news quickly spread to the barracks.
The large-scale surrender finally appeared, and many sergeants felt that there was no way out of the escape, but chose to surrender.
To Xie Yuxin's surprise, none of the officers chose to surrender, they all resisted stubbornly, even if they watched many officers being killed, no one was willing to surrender.
This made Xie Yuxin think of something, he had to report these news to Li Rupei.
At that time, the battle was basically over, which was about the same as Xie Yuxin's estimate.
The battle report is still being counted, the entire Luzhou City is still very quiet, the fighting outside has not aroused the onlookers of the people, except for the direction of the military camp and the direction of the state capital yamen, the rest of the place is still dark.
Scout Pegasus reported that the marshal had arrived at the south gate.
After Xie Yuxin whispered a few words to the officers around him, he turned his horse's head and headed towards the south gate, followed by dozens of personal soldiers.
"General Xie, you did a very good job, the battle was basically over within an hour, and the army didn't need to participate in the battle."
"This is all a big marshal's strategy, and his subordinates are just acting according to the deployment."
"Okay, you don't have to be modest, victory is victory, but there is one thing that all soldiers must keep in mind, that is, you can't disturb the people, if someone disobeys, there will be no mercy."
"Don't worry, the brothers will never disturb the people, the city of Luzhou has always been very quiet, and the fighting lasted for an hour, that is, in the state capital yamen and the military camp, and the rest of the place is very quiet."
Li Rupei nodded.
"This Hou Shen General, after entering Luzhou City, the people of the fish and flesh, the people are angry and resentful, the people will not support him, let the soldiers see, this is the biggest lesson, a certain on the road has been thinking, the iron and blood army of 30,000 soldiers, the momentum is not small, although it is day and night, but it will always attract the attention of the people, but why Hou Shen General just can't get any news, no one to reveal the news to him, this can only show that Hou Shen General has completely lost the hearts of the people."
When Li Rupei said this, Xie Yuxin clenched his fists and spoke.
"The marshal, the officers in the barracks, all did not surrender and resisted until the end."
"This is normal, don't forget, the sergeants stationed in Haozhou and Luzhou are all Bi Shiduo's henchmen, especially the officers, who are loyal to Bi Shiduo, these people will not choose to surrender, as for the sergeants below, it is nothing more than a slightly stronger combat effectiveness, this is a lesson, but unfortunately Bi Shiduo has no chance to learn, such a strong officer and sergeant, less than a year after coming to Luzhou City, the combat effectiveness has become so unbearable, if Bi Shiduo knows the real situation, I am afraid that his heart is like ashes."
After Li Rupei finished speaking, he saw Xie Yuxin's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and opened his mouth with a smile.
"General Xie, if you think of something, just say it."
"The subordinates thought that after taking Maozhou and Luzhou, the army would be able to occupy Chuzhou, Chuzhou and Hezhou in the shortest possible time, so that Bi Shiduo only had Yangzhou left, and the 80,000 army only relied on the support of Yangzhou, and it was impossible to support it for a long time.
"What you said is right, it is impossible for Bi Shiduo to control the entire Yangzhou, what he can control, that is, Yangzhou City, the soldiers are fast, the battlefield will be cleaned tomorrow, and the army will be marching towards Chuzhou the day after tomorrow, as for Chuzhou, leave it to General Zhu Wen, the army will go all the way and directly enter Yangzhou, so that Bi Shiduo will be caught off guard."
After Xie Yuxin received the order to leave, Li Rupei spoke to the herald beside him.
"Inform Xiangyang to quickly dispatch officials into Shouzhou, Qizhou, Shuzhou, Haozhou and Luzhou, and at the same time send officials to prepare and follow the army into Chuzhou, Chuzhou and Hezhou, and especially inform Cui Ge Lao and Liu Gong that once the officials control these places and can stabilize the local situation in the shortest possible time, Bi Shiduo's death will come."
Li Rupei, who was smiling, did not enter Luzhou City directly from the south gate, and he was not even ready to enter the state city, so that after the soldiers under his command rested for a day, the army was about to enter Chuzhou. (To be continued......)
