Chapter 527: Divine Soldiers Descend from Heaven
Xiahou Xuan jumped ashore, pushed away the guards who were holding him, rushed to the side, and spit out with a "wow". The road from Chenyang to Jinping Mountain is beautiful, the water flow is gentle, it is very comfortable to sit on the boat, and he also boasts that he was born to take a boat and will not faint. But after following Wei Ba from Jinping Mountain, he rushed all the way to the water from a stream reverberating from the top of the mountain, and then he knew that he would really get seasick.
Seeing Xiahou Xuan's declining appearance, Wei Ba was angry and funny, but he didn't have much time to care about him. They have already bypassed Phoenix Mountain and come to the back of Yuecheng, it won't be long before they will be discovered by the scouts of Yuecheng, from now on, every minute and every second is very precious.
"Leave two hundred men to gather the warships and rafts, and the others will take their own armor and bring three days' dry rations, and set out for Yuecheng at once."
"Whoa." Xiangfu, Heisha, Jin Dongliu and others agreed with a bang.
"Zhu Wu, you take the people of the headquarters and rush to Yuecheng as fast as possible, if you can mix in a few scouts, it will be great."
"Whoa." Zhu Wu bowed his hand and hurriedly left with five hundred people from his headquarters.
"Zhaoming, you lead the headquarters and set up an ambush in the north of Yuecheng. If Lu Kai sends someone to help, he will let them go and wait for the opportunity to seize the pass. ”
"Whoa." Jin Dongliu bowed down to receive the order.
"Heisha, Ziquan, your task is very simple, that is, to storm Yuecheng, quickly. If we take Yuecheng, we will have a foothold and we will not have to worry about the problem of food. ”
"Your Excellency, don't worry." Heisha patted his chest and pointed to the row of majestic armor soldiers behind him: "There are me and Ziquan in battle, and there are these hundred armor soldiers." What kind of city can't we take? ”
"Black Sand, the war is dangerous, don't be careless." Wei Ba said solemnly: "No matter which one you are, you must be vigilant enough. They are all warriors and are not afraid of sacrifice, but we cannot let any of them die in vain. Everyone's life is precious, and behind everyone is a family, and their happiness cannot be buried here because of your carelessness. Do you understand? ”
Heisha put away his smile and stroked his chest and saluted: "Follow the teachings of the adults." ”
The hundred samurai in full armor behind them shouted in unison: "Thank you, sir, we will live up to your high expectations." ”
"Good." Wei Ba nodded with satisfaction. Turning around, he shouted, "The Divine Dog Camp is ahead." The bow and crossbow battalion followed, the baggage battalion followed, and the personal guard battalion was behind the palace. Let's go! ”
"Whoa!" More than 3,000 soldiers responded in unison. Guan Feng glanced at Wei Ba and waved his hand. Turn around and stride away. Shalaman, Jin Suo'er and others led more than fifty roaring and jumping fierce dogs. Hurried in the direction of Yuecheng. Bai Jian, the commander of the crossbow battalion, led a thousand crossbowmen to follow, more than 1,000 soldiers of the baggage battalion carried a ladder made of bamboo, and Wei Ba led the personal guard battalion, including the ironclad battalion, to walk on the Zuihou side.
Xiahou Xuan vomited dizzily. He couldn't walk anymore, so Wei Ba had to let someone carry him away. Xiahou Xuan lay on the stretcher, looking at Wei Ba, who was hurrying with his armor on his back, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You, Taishou, are still as conceited as an ordinary soldier? ”
Wei Ba said with a smile as he walked: "Only by taking the lead can you inspire morale, do you think this sentence is a joke?" Your father was able to establish such military exploits back then, isn't it because although he was luxurious at home, he was able to share weal and sorrow with the soldiers in the army. You rich second generation, how do you know the hardships of your ancestors' entrepreneurship, thinking that you can strategize and win thousands of miles away by playing tricks, it's just a fool's dream. ”
Xiahou Xuan sighed: "Okay, you don't miss any opportunity to teach me a lesson, isn't it very fulfilling?" Don't forget, you are also a rich second generation. ”
"I am the rich second generation who can carry forward the career of my father, not the rich second generation of a loser like you."
Xiahou Xuan was speechless and closed his mouth tightly.
The hurried footsteps of more than 3,000 soldiers converged into a passionate military music, rapidly approaching in the direction of Yuecheng.
Although Yuecheng is not as dangerous as Yanguan, it is also a big city. As the rear base of Yanguan, Yuecheng has a large amount of grain, grass, ordnance, and 3,000 county soldiers to guard, which can be described as a strong garrison.
However, it is the city that is strong, not the people. For the county soldiers in the city, they did not feel the tension of the coming war at all. There is such a fortress in front of them, no enemy can conquer it, and no enemy will rush in front of them, so why should they make themselves so nervous. What's more, they just got the news a few days ago, that invincible god general was another false move, and he didn't come to Yanguan at all, and Yanguan didn't have any enemies except for Lu Kai and the more than 8,000 people of the Xiongxi tribe.
It's peaceful.
In addition, the county soldiers in the city were also a little inexplicably curious about this battle. Most of the soldiers were locals, and many were barbarians recruited from the surrounding tribes. Although they are not of the same species as Wuximan, compared to the Wu people, they have a greater sense of identity psychologically. Recently, many businessmen have come from Wuling, and although they have been severely warned by Lu Kai, the news about the divine general has reached everyone's ears bit by bit.
Hearing that the gods are coming to the world and are invincible, even the generals of the Wu Kingdom like Lu Dai have died in his hands, and dozens of tribes of Wuling, large and small, except for Xiongxi, have all surrendered to this god general, and the barbarians of Yulin are curious. The god general has become the hottest discussion in their spare time, and they even privately hope that the battle of Yanguan will start as soon as possible, so that they can verify with their own eyes whether the god general is really invincible, if he can even conquer such a heroic level as Yanguan, then it is really a well-deserved god general.
No matter how relaxed the county soldiers are, the scouts still have to be sent, but the scouts are also county soldiers, and their mentality also affects their enthusiasm. To tell the truth, even the generals who arranged for them to leave the city did not believe that the enemy would emerge from the mountains on either side, and there was a road in the mountains, but it was very dangerous, and only a herb picker or a clever hunter would take such a path into the mountains, and the army could not advance. And to attack such a strong pass as Yanguan, it is obviously impossible without tens of thousands of people - even if the attack is launched from the south.
When Zhu Wu rushed out of the mountain with more than 500 people from his headquarters, the scouts were stupid and couldn't believe their eyes. But then they were happy again, although there were a lot of people who suddenly appeared, but they spoke Jiaozhou dialect, and they looked like authentic Jiaozhou people, and they didn't have any armor on their bodies, and many of them were holding bamboo bows and wooden spears commonly used by barbarians in the mountains, which looked like a certain tribe that had been ordered to reinforce them.
The scouts breathed a sigh of relief, some people were waiting in place, some people stepped forward to inquire about the news, but before they could speak, Zhu Wu waved his hand, and someone rushed up, surrounded them, and tied them up.
The scout, who was hiding in the distance, saw that the situation was not right, and was so frightened that he ran towards Yuecheng, sounding the alarm as he ran. Zhu Wu didn't dare to slack off, and ran all the way with people. However, after all, the people ran as fast as the sound, and the scouts were still slightly superior, and when Zhu Wu and the others ran to the city, the city had already received the news and was pulling up the drawbridge and closing the city gate.
Zhu Wu was in a hurry, didn't think much about it, and rushed to the suspension bridge with his guards and went straight to the city gate.
The guards who had just arrived in the city couldn't help but laugh when they saw it, four or five hundred people dared to rob the city, so that's it, but dozens of people like you dare to rush my city gate? You're too arrogant, aren't you? The drawbridge has been pulled up, and no matter how many people there are behind, they won't be able to cross the moat for a while, so I want to see how dozens of you attack the city.
The guard gave an order, ordered the city gate to be opened, let Zhu Wu and others enter the gate, and at the same time ordered a group of soldiers to line up at the city gate to kill Zhu Wu and others.
Zhu Wu, who rushed across the suspension bridge, saw this jiashi and immediately understood the intention of the guard. He raised his sword and shouted, "Stop moving forward and line up on the spot." Raise your shield, triple array! ”
The guards responded loudly and lined up with Zhu Wu as the center. Although their numbers were small, they were not flustered, and they set up a triple formation in an orderly manner.
"Cut the drawbridge and take cover!"
"Whoa." The five soldiers broke away from the small formation and retreated to the drawbridge that had been pulled up. Four raised their shields to cover, and the remaining one drew his machete and slashed the rope of the drawbridge.
When the guards in the city saw it, they couldn't help but be secretly surprised. Although Zhu Wu was at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, he did not panic, his tactical arrangements were quick and effective, and his subordinates executed them very well. He couldn't help but look at it twice, and suddenly felt that Zhu Wu was a little familiar.
He looked at Zhu Wu familiarly, and Zhu Wu also looked at him familiarly. Zhu Wu glanced at the battle flag at the head of the city, and suddenly shouted loudly in Yulin dialect: "In Xia Zhu Wu, I used to be the general of Shi Kuang Zhonglang, I don't know which old friend is in the city?" ”
"Zhu Wu?" The guard was taken aback, leaned out of the city wall, and looked at it carefully for a while: "Zhu Wu, aren't you a mutiny?" ”
"Haha...... Lao Tzu is not a rebellion, Lao Tzu is abandoning darkness and turning to light. Lu Dai's old thief was treacherous and slaughtered the scholar's family, can Lao Tzu still die for him? Lao Tzu is now following the god general Lord Wei, first killing the old thief Lu Dai, and now he is coming to seek justice from the thief Lu Kai. Friends in the city, remember the kindness of the Shi family in the past, and don't kill each other. ”
The city's guards hesitated. He doesn't have a bad impression of the Shi family, and he is also very dissatisfied with Lu Dai's approach, but it is a bit too much to let him abandon the city and surrender, in case Lu Kai fights back, will he still have a way to live?
Zhu Wu seemed to see through his thoughts, and shouted loudly: "The gods will be invincible, how can the little Yuecheng stop him." Why do you have to work hard for Wu Gou, not to mention that you hurt yourself, but also to hurt your brothers, it is better to descend early and share the wealth. ”
"Divine general?" The guard snorted: "Where did the god general come from, it's you Zhu Wu himself, right?" ”
Zhu Wu hahadaxiao: "Friends in the city, open your eyes and look into the distance, isn't the god general coming?" ”
Before Zhu Wu's words were finished, the faces of the city guards changed, and he had already seen the smoke and dust in the distance. With years of experience in the army, he knew that it was a sign that a large group of men and horses were rapidly approaching.
Could it be that the gods really have the power of ghosts and gods, and they can actually climb over the inaccessible mountains and come to Yuecheng?
The defenders of the city looked at each other and shivered involuntarily. (To be continued......)
