Chapter 13: Attack on Guangling

It's very helpless, there is no metal detector in this world, everything has to be touched.

Fortunately, there was no such high-tech testing product, so Lu Bu and others could smoothly carry the soft sword into the city.

After that, the 300 elites gathered in five separate houses.

These houses have long been bought in advance by the Elk family to make a good base.

Next, Lu Bu sent two hundred people to disperse to find out the news and explore the layout of the city. The remaining 100 people were to cut the leather brought by the Elk family into armor.

Armor is stricter than weapons, and ordinary people can't get it at all, and if they do it, they will rebel and break the law.

Now in troubled times, these military equipment are even more strictly investigated.

These leathers were finally hidden in the goods and sent into the city.

But the news he found surprised Lu Bu.

He didn't expect that Guangling City would be guarded by 10,000 heavy soldiers.

You must know that since Yuan Shu became emperor, he has been besieged by Cao Cao, Sun Ce, Lu Bu and Liu Bei. Now Yuan Shu still has at most thirty or forty thousand soldiers and horses in his hands.

But one Guangling County is garrisoned with 10,000 heavy soldiers, what's going on.

Soon, Lu Bu thought of the answer.

According to history, Yuan Shu has now reached a desperate situation. Therefore, Yuan Shu will ask Yuan Shao for help. Yuan Shu would transfer the imperial title to Yuan Shao, and then go north to Qingzhou.

Although Yuan Shao agreed, the result was blocked by Cao Cao's order Liu Bei, and then Yuan Shu vomited blood and hung up in desperation.

Similarly, Liu Bei also took the opportunity to take Xuzhou again and turned against Cao Cao.

In other words, the current Yuan Shu wants to take refuge in Yuan Shao and go north to Qingzhou, so he will deploy heavy troops in Guangling. Because here, it is his way out.

But unfortunately, now the road is blocked by Lu Bu.

10,000 heavy soldiers will be a bloody battle.

If Lu Bu can't steal the city gate, I'm afraid it will be difficult to capture even Guangling.

Yes, although Lu Bu will not make a big move, he is not immobile.

No matter how much a recruit trains, if he has not been on the battlefield and has not seen blood, he will never become a veteran.

This time, LΓΌ Bu brought 5,000 trapped camps and 15,000 recruits to attack Guangling.

Of course, it was Gao Shun who led the troops, and Lu Bu was in charge of the most difficult stealing of the city gates.

Gao Shun wanted to swap with Lu Bu, but in terms of bravery, Gao Shun was much worse than him.

This battle was so important that Lu Bu had to do it himself.

And the 20,000 soldiers and horses are wearing brand new weapons and armor.

Each person has a new "Tang knife", loaded with a new crossbow arrow. Not only did the new crossbow have a longer range and more power, but the arrows were designed with barbs, which would have caused serious injuries if they did not die.

And the 5,000 trap camp is even more heavily armored. The cuirass and shoulder armor are a whole piece of forged steel, not to mention arrows, even if you cut them with a knife.

Of course, since it is heavy armor, it cannot fight a protracted battle, so it can only be used to charge into battle. And that's exactly what the camp needs to do.

And such heavy armor is actually just a transition. When technology improves, all armor will be replaced after having body armor.

Of course, that's all for later.

Similarly, according to the usual practice, Gao Shun sent people to surrender.

However, seeing that Lu Bu (the banner of Lu Bu) only brought 20,000 soldiers and horses, how could the generals defending the city surrender easily.

Just kidding, five times and attacking the city, that's common sense.

Since it was not to fall, Gao Shun was not polite, and immediately ordered archery.

Soon, three thousand crossbowmen lined up. The three thousand crossbowmen were lined up in five columns, precisely to adopt the five-stage shooting method.

Gao Shun held the flag and shouted: "The first column is ready, release!" ”

As soon as the words were released, 600 crossbow arrows shot straight at the defenders of the city like flying locusts.

In an instant, I heard screams again and again.

However, this is only the beginning, not the end.

Immediately after the first row, crouch down to reload the bolts, and the second row prepares to shoot.

And so on until the five rows are finished and the cycle is renewed.

The arrows rain down like locusts, and the defenders of the city don't talk about counterattacking, as long as they show their heads, they will die.

This is suppression, absolute suppression.

The defenders either crouched behind the walls or looked for shields and other objects to defend themselves, but they were unable to fight back.

In this way, the rain of arrows continued for about half an hour, and finally stopped.

The first is that the arrow array is difficult to form an effective strike, and the second is that the crossbow arrows are almost finished.

Although there is now a steam engine and various processes are constantly improving, it is still the beginning stage. So this brand new crossbow has only three thousand. And there are only 100,000 crossbow arrows. And the higher-level repeater crossbow, Lu Bu did not design it.

Since he could no longer help the defenders, Gao Shun ordered to set up camp.

Now the only way is to wait for Lu Bu to steal the city gate. Because this rain of arrows is a signal to Lu Bu's soldiers to come to the city.

If the city is attacked head-on, it will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

Even if the trapped camp is unparalleled in combat strength and has heavy armor, it is not good at attacking cities at all.

That rolling wood oil or something, it's absolutely painful.

After this battle, the defenders of Guangling were directly killed by 300. What was even more annoying was that the number of wounded reached a terrifying 2,000, and 1,000 of them were seriously injured.

Those arrows can't be pulled out at all, they can only be cut with the flesh. And with the current level of medical care, even if you don't die on the spot, you won't live long.

On the other hand, Lu Bu's army did not even have a single casualty.

Emotions of shock, fear, and sadness permeated the entire Guangling garrison.

And the only thought they have now is to lay a heavy defense on the city. As long as these crossbow arrows are fired, Yi Lu Bu's soldiers and horses will attack the city, and the casualties will also be huge.

Of course, the generals defending the city also immediately reported the battle here to Shouchun Yuan Shu.

Time passed quickly, and it was dawn the next day.

The night passed, and the Lu Bu army did not attack at night, and the Guangling army that was keeping vigil was finally relieved.

And this time is also the time when the Night Watch is most tired.

But at this moment, three hundred warriors crept into the city gate. It's not Lu Bu and the others, who are they.

The night watchman naturally found Lu Bu and the others, although they saw that these people had no weapons or armor, they still shouted loudly: "Who are you waiting for, this is the important place of the city gate, don't retreat quickly!" ”

"Kill!" Lu Bu let out a deep sigh and rushed up instantly.

How the guards were not frightened, they immediately shouted: "Enemy attack, enemy attack!" ”

However, in order to report the news, he couldn't resist Lu Bu at all.

When he turned around, Lu Bu had already rushed in front of him.

The defenders were frightened and immediately swung their guns at each other.

Lu Bu dodged sideways, and the soft sword at his waist was drawn out at the same time.

The moment he staggered, the thin sword slashed through his neck, and the defenders died on the spot.

Lu Bu instantly took the spear and put the sword into his abdomen.

I have a spear in my hand, and I have it in the world.

Just a small soldier, how can it be Lu Bu's opponent.

Lu Bu was like the sharpest knife, slashing straight towards the city gate.

And as the defenders died more and more, the Three Hundred Trap camp gradually had more handy weapons.

In less than two minutes, the crowd had rushed to the city gate.

"Open the gates!" After Lu Bu broke the gun, he shouted loudly.

And the warriors of the trapped camp who had weapons also lined up in arrays to resist the defenders of Guangling.

At the same time, Gao Shun, who had already lined up outside the city, saw that the defenders were in chaos and immediately ordered an attack.

The Five Thousand Trap camp bore the brunt of the attack, because they were heavily armoured, and they were not afraid of arrows.

And Gao Shun also believed that Lu Bu would be able to open the city gate, and when the city gate was opened, his army would rush in, and it would be like no man's land.

At that time, it will be the time for the trapped camp to shine.

Once there were only 700 people trapped in the camp to conquer everything, now there are 5,000 people, who in the world can be opposed.

And just as the army was about to rush to the city gate, the city gate was slowly opened.

Gao Shun was overjoyed, and immediately shouted: "Rush!" ”

Gao Shun took the lead and rushed in first. With the golden silk soft armor protection, he is not afraid of danger.

He saw Lu Bu sweeping wildly, forming a vacuum around him.

"Wait, take the halberd!" Gao Shun threw the Heavenly Painting Halberd in his hand at Lu Bu and shouted loudly.
