Chapter Twenty-Seven: Night Attack

Although Wu Jin is a little unwilling, Lu Zhi, as the commander of this counterinsurgency army, once he makes a decision, even if his status is second only to Lu Zhi, he cannot be disobedient, not only because Lu Zhi's position is higher than him, but also because Lu Zhi's personal prestige has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even if he opposes it, no one in the army will support him.

"Although Wu'an is small, it is not easy to break through, this battle is very important to our army, and it is the key to the success or failure of this battle, I don't know who is willing to be the vanguard and break through this city?" Lu Zhi looked at the generals under his tent and smiled.

"Lu Shuai, the last general only needs 10,000 elites, and within ten days, he will definitely be able to break through this city." A burly general was the first to stand up and said loudly.

"Lu Shuai, the last general is willing to go, and he will take Wu'an."

The counterinsurgency army is the main force of the counterinsurgency, bringing together a large number of elite generals of the Eastern Han Empire, except for a few paddling parties, almost all of them are well-known, generals who can fight well, no one is afraid to fight, and this is the first battle of breaking the city, which is of great significance, and the merits obtained after the same break of the city are absolutely rich.

Li Xuan stood quietly in the corner of the big tent, smiling and looking at the blushing faces one by one, for this city-breaking achievement, he said that he was not impressed, it was fake, but he knew his current situation better.

In a short period of time, from a small military marquis, promoted to the rank of captain, one foot into the threshold of the general, has already worsened the suspicion of many people, if this time the opportunity to take the first work again, it is estimated that his life in this military camp will be sad, and even if he is senior, in this Chinese army account, he is also the one with the lightest right to speak, even if Lu Zhi appreciates himself again, he has to take into account the feelings of the soldiers of the three armies.

Wu Jin sat under Lu Zhi's hand, and also did not fight, as a military general second only to Lu Zhi in the counterinsurgency army, as long as the counterinsurgency is successful, he will have no merit, there is no need to grab credit with these subordinates, but when his eyes swept over Li Xuan, who was sitting in the corner with an old god, his eyes flashed fiercely, and then he turned around, hugged his fist at Lu Zhi and said: "Lu Shuai, I recommend one person, if he leads the troops, this battle will be won!" ”

"Oh?" Lu Zhi looked at Wu Jin, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes: "But I don't know who General Wu is?" ”

"This person is no stranger to everyone, it is the captain of the Northern Army who gave this strategy - Li Xuan!" An inexplicable smile flashed in Wu Jin's eyes, he glanced back at Li Xuan, and said loudly: "Since Li Duwei has built a plan to attack Wu'an, he must have a case in his heart, and he will lead his troops to capture this city, and it will be foolproof." ”

"Lu Shuai can't, although Captain Li is brave and wise, but after all, he has just been promoted to lieutenant, and he still has little experience in leading troops, how can he take on this position?" As soon as Wu Jin's voice fell, a military general jumped up impatiently to oppose it, this is related to his own future, whether you are a deputy marshal or not.

"Yes, Lu Shuai, the headquarters of the Northern Army has just been rebuilt, and even in the future, it will have time to train, and its combat strength is worrying, I'm afraid it won't be able to withstand a big war!"

The generals had different opinions, and the reasons were more than sufficient for each one, but there was only one central idea -- Li Xuan could not go.

Lu Zhi showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and his eyes turned to Li Xuan and asked, "Ziyang, this battle is a big deal, you ...... Can you be sure? ”

Li Xuan stood up expressionlessly, met Lu Zhi's concerned gaze, warmed his heart slightly, took a deep breath, bowed and hugged his fists and said: "The last general is willing to make a military order, and within three days, Wu'an will be broken!" ”

Although I know that the best way at this time is to protect myself and retreat bravely, the strategy is my own dedication, with Lu Zhi's person, after the war, I will definitely not lose my own credit, Li Xuan also had such an idea before, but seeing that in the entire handsome tent, except for Lu Zhi, Liu Bei and Wu Jin, who had suspicions about himself, almost everyone said no, and the reasons were even more varied, but the most fundamental reason was that his foundation in this military camp was too shallow. Pull out one casually, Li Xuan may not even be worthy of lifting shoes for others, how can he give him the opportunity to do this work?

Li Xuan has been struggling at the bottom of the society since he was a child, and he has some inferiority complex and some recklessness in his bones.

Anyway, as soon as Guangzong City is broken, the Yellow Turban will basically be over, and then this counterinsurgency army will naturally have no point in continuing to stay.

"Okay, Captain Li is really bold." Wu Jin looked at Li Xuan, and a sinister smile flashed in his eyes: "But there is no joke in the army, can you dare to sign the military order now?" ”

"Nature." Li Xuan responded proudly, and at that moment, Wu Jin ignored Lu Zhi's dissatisfied look, and ordered someone to get the military order, which Li Xuan immediately signed.

"But now the three armies need to guard against Zhang Jiao's rebel counterattack, but I don't know how many soldiers and horses Captain Li needs?" Glancing at the military order with satisfaction, Wu Jin looked at Li Xuan, his face was full of false smiles, and he seemed to have long forgotten the previous unpleasantness.

"The last general has come to inquire for several days, and now there are less than 5,000 soldiers and horses in Wu'an City, and most of them are village warriors, and the general who defends the city is a small canal commander in the Yellow Turban Army, named Li Hu, quite brave, the soldiers are noble and fast, and the last general wants to lead the people and horses of the headquarters, and immediately set off to capture Wu'an City." Li Xuan replied.

Since he attacked Wu'an, Li Xuan naturally made an investigation, and he had a general impression of the situation in Wu'an City, including the character of the city lord.

"Hehe, with two thousand to five thousand, since Captain Li has this confidence, he won't say much, I wish Captain Du Success in the future!" Wu Jin sneered, he was originally going to make it difficult in the rationing of soldiers and horses, but Li Xuan only brought his own people, which was already the lowest limit, and he couldn't let his family run alone to break through a city, it would be too obvious, seeing that he was impeccable, he could only laugh and mock twice.

Li Xuan just sneered, didn't explain much, said goodbye to Lu Zhi at the moment, and set off with troops

……

Wu'an City is in the Yellow Turban, although it is very close to Lu Zhi's army, but there is also an Anping Jiancheng in the middle, although during this time Lu Zhi's rebel army has caused great pressure on the Yellow Turbans of Jizhou, but Wu'an City has always been as stable as Mount Tai, after all, in terms of level, it is just a county seat, it is impossible to be noticed by the Han army, Li Hu has good force, but the Yellow Turban generals, including Zhang Jiao's pro-seal of the seventy-two road marshals, are also mostly brave and unscrupulous, Li Hu as a dragon general, naturally can not escape the fate of this dragon set.

It has been comfortable for a long time, and it is normal for the armament to be lax, originally there were 10,000 garrisons in Wu'an City, but since Guangzong was besieged, the yellow turbans in various cities rushed to Guangzong to support, Li Hu was brave and brave, and Wu'an was in a comfortable state for a long time, so he felt that there was no need for so many troops to garrison, and he generously ordered his deputy general to take half of the garrison to help Guangzong.

In the evening of this day, Li Hu routinely inspected the city wall, seeing that there was no abnormality as in the past, after arranging the matter of guarding the city to his subordinates, he went back to the house early to rest, living in this era, even in the bustling Luoyang City, in addition to holding his wife and rolling the sheets at night, there is no entertainment, as a city general, Li Hu naturally can't stay on the city wall every night like an ordinary soldier and stand stupidly, although the yellow-faced woman at home is not very good, but blowing the lamp is actually no difference.

Under the silent night sky, several yellow turban archers stood at the head of the city like a stake, although there was moonlight, not to mention outside the city, even on the city wall, it was difficult to see what people were doing five steps away, but these guards were still loyally carrying out Li Hu's orders, this situation can only be seen in this kind of soldier with extremely low AI in this primitive plane, if it is put into reality, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even the so-called elite, at this time it is estimated that they have gathered together in groups to chat and even secretly sleep and fish.

In the silent night sky, there seemed to be a few extremely bright cold stars suddenly appeared in the sight, the archer was puzzled to focus his eyes on these particularly bright cold stars, his pupils gradually dilated, and he faintly heard an extremely subtle sound of breaking the sky, and the shadow of death shrouded his heart, those few cold stars, it was clearly the moonlight reflected by the arrow clusters that broke through the sky, he opened his mouth to warn, but he was shocked to find that he could not make a sound, the power in his body surged to his throat like a tide and then quickly dissipated, and he instinctively reached out to his throat, A cold arrow shaft had been inserted upside down in his throat at some point, blood mixed with bubbles kept gushing out of his throat, helpless mixed with unwilling eyes to look at the dark night sky, and consciousness gradually dissipated.

"Good archery practice!" Patting Li Feng on the shoulder, Li Xuan twisted his somewhat sore neck, looked at the corpse that had fallen from the city and had begun to be cold, and said with satisfaction.

Behind him, two thousand soldiers stood solemnly, with an indescribable killing aura in the moonlight.

Looking at the towering city, Li Xuan shook his head, sometimes it is not necessarily a good thing for the city wall to be built too high, his two thousand or so people have already touched the city, and the city has not even reacted at all, it is not that those yellow turbans are not careful, the troops of this world will not know how to be lazy and fish such a profound technology, if you want to blame the city wall is too high, plus the night barrier, the line of sight from above, except for the darkness, you can't see anything.

"Go according to plan!" Li Xuan waved his hand.

"Whoa." Li Feng agreed, and took out an arrow with a barb from Li Xuan's specially obtained from the craftsman in the army, and the tail of the arrow was tightly hung with a long rope, which was coiled around Li Feng's shoulder.

"Huh~" The special arrow cluster rose into the air with a terrible sound of breaking the air, but the purpose of this time was not to kill, the arrow flew back to the city that had been quietly cleared, and it was slightly stagnant in the air, and Li Feng pulled the rope fiercely under the city, and the arrow was accurately buckled in the gap of the city wall in the process of retreating.

"After the city gate is opened, don't fall in love with the battle, immediately rush to the city lord's mansion to join me, and if I don't wait, kill the thief chief first!" During my absence, the troops were temporarily under the command of Li Shan. Li Xuan pulled the rope, turned his head to Li Shan and commanded again.

"Whoa!" General Li Shansan nodded fiercely and agreed.

"Let's go." Li Xuan pulled the rope and said to Li Lin who was standing on the side, the battle of the city gate is extremely critical, although the four generals of Fenglin Volcano have been promoted to military generals, but the force is not high, in order to capture the city as much as possible, Li Xuan can only go out in person, and immediately take Li Lin and several carefully selected top soldiers to climb up along the rope.
