Chapter 596: Taking the Yang (2)
At the same time, more soldiers converged towards the same place, they nodded to each other, the number was about fifty people, and such a shili suddenly appeared on the city wall, faintly having the ability to change the control of the city gate.
In the dark night, more than fifty people gathered together, it was extremely easy to attract the attention of others, and a shout from the soldiers before also made many generals worry for a while, after all, the style of the previous ban was still vivid, accidentally lost the official position, the status was reduced to the level of a small soldier, and then wanted to go to a high position, it was much more difficult, dutifully began the second patrol at night, the soldiers guarding the city wall have a rule, patrol at least three times a night, once when they just took over, once in the middle of the night, It was again when it was almost dawn.
Yu Ban didn't fall asleep, for some reason, he always had a very uneasy feeling, as if something big was about to happen, and his intuition from years of fighting told him that something was going to be bad recently.
"What's going on out there?" Yu Ban put down the book in his hand and asked, since Xiliangjun released this kind of book, it has gradually become a best-selling book in the Central Plains, the price is not high, and it is more practical than the book, and it has been loved by many readers, Yu Ban usually likes to read military books, and naturally it is no exception.
"General Qiyu, there is no situation." After the guards answered with their fists clenched, they went out on a symbolic patrol before returning to the camp where the forbidden camp was located.
Around the forbidden camp, the soldiers guarding can be described as three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, which is very tight, even if a fly flies in, it can be caught by the soldiers.
"No situation?" Yu Ban got up and said, "Go out for a walk." ”
The night was slightly cool, he took the armor handed by the soldiers, put his right hand on the saber at his waist, and looked around with fierce eyes.
"Could it be that you are too careful?" Yu Ban secretly said, the Xiliang Army and the Cao Army have an alliance, which he naturally knows, but the war will never be binding because of the Weishenme Covenant, Jia Rong is even more famous for his cunning, raiding Bishui Pass, it is very likely, it is based on this, Yu Bancai has been emphasizing the strengthening of the city defense, and the merchants in the past must also go through strict investigation, so as not to have people from the Xiliang Army mixed into the pass, the past of the merchants is inevitable, with the increasing prosperity of Chang'an, more and more merchants need to enter Chang'an, And the taxes collected by Yu Ban in Bishui Pass also increased a lot because of the merchants, and was praised by Cao Cao, Luoyang has always been the capital of the Han Dynasty, even after a series of changes, the people in the city have more than 100,000, which is very important for Cao Jun.
Merchants can never be offended, under Jia Rong's efforts, businessmen have become a factor that can restrain the princes, of course, the princes still can't understand this, hundreds of years of deep-rooted thoughts, will not let them abandon the high status and the bottom of the businessmen to talk about, even Cao Cao is no exception, just the scope of the businessman's business has been expanded, not like Jia Rong, the status of the businessman has been improved, the concept of Shinong industry and commerce, has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Cao Cao would rather choose to reuse the family, Nor will it put power in the hands of merchants.
The five soldiers quietly walked down the city wall and walked in the direction of the city gate, and the soldiers' steps were brisk, and in a short time they came to the city gate.
"What are you doing? Hurry up and get back to your patrol. One soldier shouted.
The visitor said in a low voice: "General, I also went to the pass when I was idle, so I will go back, I will go back." ”
"Let's go." The soldier urged, Yu Ban's strict order still had a certain effect, at least these soldiers did not dare to gather together to chat at night, and when the other soldiers were resting, one or two people would be drawn out to guard.
"What should I do?" Walking to a place where no one was around, the soldier asked in a low voice.
"Kill." Another soldier made a neck wiping motion.
The two looked at each other, nodded, and silently walked towards the soldiers at the city gate again, deliberately slowing down, plus in the dark night, the originally weak fire could not shine too far, with the help of a short gap in darkness, the two soldiers quickly approached the soldier who had just spoken.
Crisp and sharp movements, the soldiers fell silently in a pool of blood, and the rest of the soldiers guarding the city gate were not spared, after getting the signal, soon more and more soldiers gathered at the city gate, and the squeak of the gate was slowly being opened.
In the silent night, the sound of the city gate being opened was very abrupt, and the unique sound of the city gate opening was not familiar to the soldiers in the gate.
"What's going on?" One of the generals asked, the city gate can only be opened after the hour, and it needs to be guarded by a large number of soldiers, and it is the middle of the night, the city gate suddenly opens, and the general does not react for a while.
"Go tell the general." A general said hurriedly.
Yu Ban also received the news of the guard's return, his heart jumped suddenly, and he hurriedly led a group of guards to the gate, if there was any change in Bishui Pass, his official fortune in Yu Ban would come to an end.
The gates were slowly opening, and soon a crack was revealed.
"What are you doing? Hurry up and close the gates, or the general will come."
A sharp arrow pierced the neck of the shouting general, ending his next words, and the rest of the soldiers saw this with a great change in their faces, shouting and killing to the city gate, they are all characters who have passed through the battlefield, how can they not know what happened, some timid soldiers, and even want to secretly retreat, the battlefield, can make a well-trained soldier become an elite soldier, and it has also created a group of veteran oils, who are eager to avoid battles, rather than facing difficulties, so they can save their lives in battles again and again.
The soldiers at the gate continued to move, and more than thirty people were separated from them to meet the soldiers who were coming to kill.
After a short encounter, I saw a famous soldier fall to the ground, while the soldier at the city gate still stood proudly, like a plum blossom in the snow, no matter how cruel the enemy was, he always stood and continued to move in his hands.
The methods of these soldiers were clean and swift, and they were not able to resist by the defenders, and after a while, the twenty or so soldiers who arrived first were all wiped out, along with their generals.
The door closed and opened a gap that could accommodate two people side by side, and a soldier hurriedly used the torch in his hand to wave it continuously, and at this time there were also two torches on the close, constantly shaking, to convey the signal to the distance.
After Lu Bu in the distance saw the signal coming from the pass, he shook his spirit and shouted: "Kill, recapture Bishui Pass." ”
Five hundred lightly armed cavalry followed Lu Bu to kill Bishui Pass, and the infantry also quickly approached Bishui Pass after the cavalry dispatched.
When Yu Ban came to the place where the gate was closed, the door was completely open, and the dozens of soldiers guarding the gate were unusually difficult to deal with, and the passage was not very wide, so it was very easy to be injured by mistake if he ordered to shoot arrows, so he could only constantly send soldiers to press it.
The battle was unusually fierce, the soldiers guarding the gate, no matter how strong their martial arts were, were at a disadvantage in numbers, and soldiers were constantly killed, cut into pulp with knives, but they were still stubbornly persevering, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
When there were only more than ten soldiers left, Yu Ban was also anxious, and the sound of horses' hooves not far away made him frightened, this must be a premeditated sneak attack by the Xiliang Army, and the other party was able to sneak into the city silently and open the city gate, the strength of the Xiliang Army was really terrifying.
"Kill all these soldiers at all costs." Yu Ban ordered.
There was only one soldier left, and when he saw Lu Bu who was in the lead, he slowly fell, as if he was confiding in Lu Bu that he had completed his mission.
"Kill." Lu Bu's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said, no matter what he thinks of Wang Yue, he can't stop paying respect to these soldiers, daring to sacrifice his precious life for the sake of the task, it seems simple, in fact, it takes a lot of courage, and it is precisely with more such soldiers in the Xiliang Army that he can win many battles.
Holding Fang Tian's halberd, Lu Bu was like a killing god, and with a strong attitude, he directly broke in, killing anyone he could.
The rumbling momentum of the cavalry made the defenders tremble, and they who were familiar with the battlefield knew even more that once the cavalry charged, how powerful it was, and the infantry encountered the cavalry, only to constantly dodge, or to be trampled into pulp by the galloping war horses.
No matter how angry Yu Ban shouted, the soldiers who were shouting that they were not afraid of death began to retreat slowly, and their eyes were clearly a little dodgy when they looked at the enemy.
Cavalry, he is not afraid of the ban, but he understands his mission better, if he loses the Bishui Pass, even if he saves his life, it will completely lose its meaning.
"Kill, shield men resist the position, archers, step forward." Yu Ban ordered.
The soldier gradually stabilized when he heard the constant orders from the guards, and the shield soldiers began to step forward, blocking the robe in front of them.
Seeing his soldiers constantly retreating towards the camp, and the shield soldiers did not give an inch, Yu couldn't help but feel a little pain in his heart, these are his soldiers, who have followed him through battles and survived, but now they have to watch them die in front of the army.
"No one is allowed in." At the critical moment, there can be no slightest concession, and the greatest result is to abandon a small number of soldiers and hold the Bishui Pass.
"Shoot the arrows."
Under the rain of arrows, the cries seemed to be more of the voices of their own soldiers.
The painting halberd in Lu Bu's hand kept waving, and the arrow was difficult to get close, and soon rushed to the front of the shield soldier, exerting all his strength, Lu Bu shouted lowly, picked up Fang Tian's painting halberd, thinking that the shield soldier smashed it, and with a powerful blow, the shield in the soldier's hand was directly cut into two pieces, and the shield soldier was also killed.
Opening the formation, Lu Bu stepped forward without hesitation.
