Chapter 353: Raid on Xiajun
The night covered the land silently, except for the occasional sound of insects, only the heavy footsteps of the warriors remained.
The strictly trained soldiers, who did not need to be scolded too much, also understood what they needed to do, and walked briskly in silence, occasionally whispering, and quickly disappeared under the deep reprimand of their respective commanders. The hoarfrost under Wang Xu's crotch was also a little aggrieved, because his horse's hooves were wrapped in a thick cloth, and although he couldn't speak, he wouldn't be too comfortable thinking about it.
This time, Wang Xu asked Zhao Yun to lead five thousand green dragon knights to make a feint, just to exhaust Wei Yan's soldiers, and at the same time to blind the local audience. Wei Yan's soldiers, ahead of Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao, took Xia Jun first, and they were already extremely tired after a long journey. Therefore, I will definitely choose to rest in the afternoon and take turns on duty in the evening. But if Zhao Yun goes to make trouble tonight, he will make the other party unable to sleep well all night, because Wei Yan does not have many people, and he is afraid of accidents. In this way, the soldiers of the other side are even more tired.
You must know that even the 5,000 cavalry that Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao brought during the day, after rushing back and forth, were all sleepy and lacking horses, and now they were still being taken by Guo Jia to stay in the camp outside Luoxian County. It is conceivable how tired Wei Yan's soldiers who came from afar, it is impossible to recover after only sleeping for half a day, plus Zhao Yun will go to make trouble all night, tomorrow morning will inevitably have sore muscles and muscles, and his strength will be weak.
Moreover, Zhao Yun continued to pretend to be loud but did nothing, which would make the enemy mentally paralyzed. They were already tired and had no one to attack them until tomorrow morning, so they must have been drowsy. At that time, the surprise three-way attack, coupled with the low walls of Xiajun County, and the poor fortifications, could be taken without much effort. Of course, the premise is that Song Qian's suspicious plan succeeds.
However, if it fails, I am afraid that the other party's reinforcements are not far from Xiajun, and Song Qian will also send someone to report regardless of it. And if there is no sound until now, it means success, because only after success. will worry about the messenger being intercepted. Leak military aircraft, so as long as a secret plan like this is successful, the practice is not to reciprocate.
Wang Xu silently followed the army, because it was night, it was impossible to use the sundial. And during the rapid march, there was no such superfluous thing as missing carvings. Therefore, it is impossible to discern the exact time at present. You can only look at the tilt of the moon in the sky to get an idea of how long it will be until dawn.
As it slowly mid-air and then gradually descended, everyone knew that it was getting closer and closer to dawn. Just when Wang Xu was a little puzzled why he hadn't arrived yet, there was a sudden sound of drums in front of him. After listening carefully, I was shocked. Looking back at Dian Wei, he lowered his voice and said: "Dian Wei, you personally go to the front to deliver the news, let the soldiers speed up, don't shout loudly, and let the soldiers pass from the front row to the back row." ”
"No!" Dian Wei has also been in the army for a long time, of course he knows this. Answered. He urged his horse to the front of the line.
In a short time, the speed of the soldiers had increased dramatically. Passing orders back and forth to each other, they silently quickened the pace of their march. This also made Wang Xu extremely satisfied, tonight's march was enough to see that the soldiers were able to achieve this kind of journey, and it was not in vain that the generals spent so much effort.
As the drums in front of him became louder and louder, and even the shouts and shouts of the soldiers were clearly heard in his ears, Wang Xu finally stopped the pace of the soldiers, ordered to eat on the spot, and seized the time to rest. However, he did not dare to stop, wandering around the soldiers, patrolling the situation of the various departments, and also alerting for possible accidents.
Before I knew it, more than an hour had passed, and the moon was no longer visible, and the stars were gone, but the sky was not yet dawn, and the fog was black. Guan Hai and Dian Wei, who were patrolling around, also found that the sky was dark at the moment, and they were all striding towards this side, and the armor pieces on their bodies were touching with a "bang" sound.
"My lord, are you going to attack?" Guan Hai just came to Wang Xu, and he couldn't help but rush to speak.
"No!" Wang Xu shook his head calmly and signaled, "Wait!" Let the soldiers sleep a little longer. ”
Hearing this, Guan Hai and Dian Wei glanced at each other, didn't say much, and dispersed to the side again.
After almost two quarters of an hour, the sky was already cloudy and bright, and Guan Hai couldn't help but walk over again, and said a little anxiously: "Lord, are you still not moving?" ”
This time, Wang Xu pondered for a moment, but then shook his head. "Nope! Wait! ”
As the minutes passed, the dark night was finally repelled by the day, and the sound of insects gradually died down, and the birds chirped out and stood on the branches and chirped endlessly.
It's already dawn......
At this moment, Wang Xu, who had been standing in place with a cold face and had never moved at all, finally moved.
The sharp and domineering sword of the commander "Huh! "The ground came out of the sheath, and the tightly closed lips suddenly opened, and let out a shocking shout, which shocked the birds and beasts in all directions, and the hearts of the people trembled." The whole army obeys the order! Array assembly ......"
Guan Hai and Dian Wei, who had been waiting impatiently, heard the voice, and without the slightest hesitation, they suddenly shouted: "The whole army is assembled!" ”
Three roars instantly broke the silence of the early morning, and the soldiers who woke up woke up one after another, and the generals were the first to act, and they kept shouting and scolding, and the commanders got up. After a while, the soldiers who had fallen asleep all over the ground quickly lined up, each preparing in an orderly manner. In just a few minutes, the various departments were already ready, and they clenched their weapons in high spirits.
Seeing this, the corners of Wang Xu's mouth slowly showed a satisfied smile, and he looked at the faint city wall in the distance. Lang shouted: "March! ”
This time, there was no need to hide anything, Guan Hai and Dian Wei led the generals and colonels to shout non-stop, encouraging the fighting spirit of the soldiers. Wang Xu rode north on the white frost, walking at the front of the army, holding the dragon spear in his hand high, signaling that his generals were in front, so that the soldiers could rest assured. The fiery red spear has become a symbol of Jingnan, from the military generals of Wenchen to the pawns of peddlers, no one knows, no one knows, the owner of the spear is Wang Xu, the biggest general in Jingnan, the young hero who fought the world at the age of 14......
In fact, the camp chosen by Wang Xu was only five miles away from Xiajun, and for the long-trained soldiers, it was not allowed to take long to walk in line. In a few moments, they had already rushed to the city of Xiajun.
At this time, Zhao Yun was still scolding Zhenghuan outside the city with five thousand green dragon knights. Hearing the report, Wang Xu led the army to come, and Zhao Yun immediately returned to the horse to welcome him. He arched his hand and said: "General, Zhao Yun is fortunate not to be dishonored, there are a large number of soldiers guarding the local city all night, but because I don't know how many troops there are, I don't know if they are on duty in rotation." ”
"How many people are there in the city?" Wang Xu asked solemnly.
"At least three thousand, if there were no three thousand, it would be impossible to line up so densely on the stretching city wall!" Zhao Yun immediately affirmed the authenticity. He observed the city all night, and if he couldn't even find this, he wouldn't be Zhao Yun.
Hearing this, Wang Xu was also a little happy, thinking that there could never be too many people in Nei Weiyan, and there were 3,000 people on the front city wall, which showed that it had already played a deterrent role. Although there may not be so many on the other three walls of the other party, there are at least 500 people, so the number of people on duty at the head of the city at the same time should be more than 4,500 people. In other words, the ploy succeeded.
Glancing at it from afar, Wang Xu took a deep breath, did not hesitate, and immediately ordered in a deep voice: "Zhao Yun, you lead the Blue Dragon Knights to retreat and press the formation, and you can take turns to rest on the spot." ”
"No!" Although Zhao Yun was the first to leave last night, he also understood Wang Xu's intentions when he developed to the present. So he didn't ask much at all, and after answering, he shouted, letting Qinglong actually retreat slowly.
Seeing this, Wang Xu turned back to Guan Hai and said, "Guan Hai!" ”
"In!"
"You led a thousand soldiers to launch a surprise attack, and you personally commanded the formation under the city."
"No!"
After Guan Hai promised, his eyes were already with a trace of excitement and ruthlessness, and he glanced at the city in front of him, and without saying much, he roared and organized the soldiers to attack.
Seeing this, Wang Xu did not hesitate, and immediately turned his head to Dian Wei and said: "Dian Wei, you take a few guards with strong arm strength, and beat the eight drums to the death for me, it must be loud enough!" ”
"No!"
Dian Wei's thick eyebrows were raised, his fists were clenched with a crackling sound, and he turned around to beckon several guards behind him and rushed to the drums of war.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! In an instant, the passionate war drums resounded in the sky, and Dian Wei may have come to his senses, and while beating the drums, he finally let out a roar, shouting to cheer for the soldiers charging ahead.
And Guan Hai was faster at the moment, because it was a siege, so he didn't use his big knife, just waved his hand and pulled out his waist knife, with a thousand soldiers, carrying a light hook ladder, and fiercely pounced on the city.
"Oh no! Oh no! The enemy is really attacking! "Above the head of the city, countless soldiers suddenly let out a panicked roar. Because after daybreak, it was found that the enemy was all cavalry, and there were no siege equipment with them at all, and those soldiers knew that there had been a false alarm last night.
The young Wei Yan also relaxed his vigilance and ordered a large number of soldiers to go down to the city to rest. But the sudden infantry charge startled them, and when they heard the shouts of the soldiers, Wei Yan, who had just been preparing to take a break, shivered instantly, and rushed up to the city tower with a big sword.
Seeing that although the enemy's non-commissioned officers were strong and approaching quickly, there were not many of them, he couldn't help shouting: "Everyone rest assured, there are few enemy soldiers, ready to fight!" ”
The soldier on duty took up his bow and arrow, and stood on the battlements...... Get ready to shoot! The soldiers who ascended the city filled in the gaps and prepared for battle. Fast! Whoever is slow, chop! (To be continued, if you want to know what happens, please log on to http://www.biquge.info.)
