Chapter 29: Night Attack on Luohezhuang
In the middle of the night, black clouds covered the white moonlight.
On the dark and quiet path, countless burning torches were like a devouring fire dragon, and the zigzag procession walked silently on the road, only the sound of hurried footsteps and thunderbolts burned, reflecting the nervous and solemn faces of the soldiers.
When Li Wudang heard that Pingcheng County might have learned of the rebellion, he was in a particularly bad mood and couldn't help but sigh.
He originally thought that it would take at least half a month for Pingcheng County to find out the exact news, so he was confident that he would capture Pingcheng County by surprise.
Who knew that the prefectural magistrate would send people to urge the warden to return, so that the news of the rebellion was exposed. Therefore, time is urgent, and the task of attacking Luohezhuang at night must be completed before the county order to close the city gate.
He knows very well how inefficient the government is now, even if the county lord gets the news of the rebellion, and then summons his subordinates, prevaricates with each other and argues for a long time, he can only discuss the results during the day. In other words, Luohezhuang must be defeated tonight
Now is the time to race against time, looking at Luohezhuang, which is not far away, and beating the horses with a horsewhip.
"Brothers, Luohezhuang is ahead, speed up!"
As Li Wu shouted, the footsteps of the entire team became a little more hurried.
"The first team of recruits will hold the west, and the second team of recruits will guard the face, and no one must be let go, otherwise the military law will deal with it!"
"No!"
"The soldiers of the elite battalion followed me to attack from the east, and the three recruits held the east side and completed the encirclement."
"No!"
The long fire dragon was divided into three teams, ready to complete the encirclement of Luohezhuang, and the river to the north could not cross.
Nakhezhuang is named after a river called Nakhe River in the north, and it is now summer and the river is fast-flowing.
In the middle of the night, the village is quiet.
The villager guarding the village yawned, walked to the blank and unoccupied haystack, unbuttoned his pants and happily peed, his eyes were blurry and seemed to see many little sparks, he should have been dazzled, and rubbed his eyes.
"That's not right!" The villagers noticed that the dense sparks were hurrying towards the village, and immediately shook the alarm bell on the outpost.
Bang Bang!
Some villagers scolded loudly, and let people sleep at night, and for a while, the villagers of the village came out of their homes one after another, without the slightest sense of tension.
The elders of the township walked over and asked what was going on, and the villagers pointed to the sparks in the distance.
"Look, Elder, there seem to be hundreds of people coming towards the village."
The elder looked at the starfire in the distance, and there was a palpitation, and an ominous premonition suddenly struck, and he couldn't help but shiver.
"Elder? Elder! Wait a moment, the villager called softly.
"What now!?"
Knowing that now was not the time to hesitate, the elder said, "Immediately block the exit with a fence, gather all the men, and bring up their weapons..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a shout of killing that resounded through the sky.
"Rush in"
Li Wu knew that he couldn't let them gather, and he only needed one charge at night to crush them at once, and once he couldn't organize a counterattack, the rebels could easily take the village.
Li Wu took the lead, drew the long knife at his waist, and faced the two township soldiers guarding the gate.
Two slashes in a row, with sharp energy. brought out a rain of blood, and the two villagers fell to the ground in an instant, dying of anger.
The black oppressive rebel soldiers poured in from the gap that Li Wu had torn open.
The rebel soldiers of the elite battalion rushed into the flock like wild wolves, and in an instant, they killed the strong soldiers of the villagers who met them with screams and screams.
Before the villagers could understand what was going on, the sharp blades were already swinging towards their heads.
Poof!
Burst!
The dull sound of the sharp blade barrel of the spear piercing through the body, the clatter of the sword and the bone, mixed with the screams, in an instant, Luohezhuang was already in chaos.
The village elders looked at the sword light and sword shadows and the shouts of killing, and their faces were full of astonishment.
"Elder! We were completely crushed! Now what. A bloodied villager grabbed the elder's arm.
Only then did the elder come back to his senses and shouted, "Let the villagers escape!" ”
"Oh no! The village was fenced off on three sides, and it was impossible to get out. A strong man hurried over. The elder was taken aback and muttered, "This is to wipe us out, who are these people?"
"Surrender!"
The elder shouted to Li Wu, who was riding a horse not far away, "This general, please be merciful to your subordinates, our people from Luohe Village are willing to surrender!" ”
The other remaining village soldiers also shouted.
Li Wu breathed a sigh of relief and reported loudly: ".... Today, Yang Dashuai founded a rebel army and rebelled against the dog officials and cool officials in Pingcheng County. Passing by Luohezhuang today, please join us in the grand event! ”
