Chapter 305: Breaking the City
It's windy tonight.
The night was dark and visibility was not great.
Wu Nian and Long Ji took more than 100 ironclad soldiers and quickly arrived near Chengshan Fort. Wu Nian and Long got off their horses and stood in the distance to watch the situation on the city.
At this distance, you can vaguely see people patrolling and standing guard on the city wall. Regardless of whether Lu Jubei and Ma Zheng relaxed their vigilance, they still arranged the most basic defense forces.
A frontal attack will definitely be able to be defeated, but there will be casualties on both sides.
Tonight's sneak attack is the best solution.
"Up!"
After Wu Nian watched for a while, he waved his right hand and made a low sound.
"Da-da-da-da." One hundred ironclad soldiers carried five ladders and headed towards Chengshan Fort. Although they moved as gently as possible, the movement was still not small, but fortunately the wind was strong tonight, which muffled the sound.
But when they reached the city, the defenders of the city found out.
"Who ?!!!?"
One of the defenders shouted.
"Poof." With a sound, the answer was that Wu Nian shot a black arrow. Sharp arrows shot into the necks of the defenders, with a few white bone fragments, peeking out from behind.
An arrow through the throat.
"I am Wu Nian of Beishan Fort. I want this city. Those who are in favor lie on the ground and do not move, and I will not hurt a person. Those who oppose it, just stand up. ”
Wu Nian put down the big red bow in his hand, took a deep breath, and roared towards the city wall with full of energy.
The sound overshadowed the wind for a moment, and it was clearly audible.
"Kill !!"
The dragon let out a low roar, climbed up the ladder, and walked up with his hands and feet. The rest of the ironclad soldiers, either with their bows stretched out and shooting arrows at the city, or holding on to ladders, or climbing ladders, moved quickly.
The defenders of the city were suppressed for a while.
After all, the name of the person, the shadow of the tree.
Wu Nian is a big man who shocked Liaodong. But Ma Zheng led the troops to be good, and in the face of Wu Nian's threat, some of the soldiers in the city simply lay on the ground and did not move.
But there are also those who are ready to resist.
"Brothers. Master Ma treats us well, and we can't be sorry for him. Wu Nian is free in the north mountain fort, this mountain fort is Ma Daren's. On what basis did he rob? We fought with him. ”
A square-faced man, wearing a thick battle jacket, pulled out the steel knife at his waist and shouted angrily. He was a soldier brought by Ma Zheng from the front, and he was the most loyal.
"Kill !!!"
However, he was soon cut down to the ground by the dragon.
"Phew. Without our general on top of Beishan Fort, your Chengshan Fort would have been controlled by the Mengyuan people a long time ago. Our general wants to take the mountain fort to strengthen the momentum, why should you stop it? After slashing the square-faced man, Long Ji turned his head and looked at the few soldiers who were still standing and were about to resist, and smiled and pounced on him with a steel knife.
The battle was lackluster.
The dragon is a fierce general, and a hundred ironclad soldiers are elite soldiers.
Lu Jubei and Ma Zheng relaxed their guards, under their sneak attack, how could the defenders of Chengshan Fort be able to stop them?
"Go and control the rest of the gates. Prevent Lu Jubei and Ma Zheng from running away. "After taking control of the city walls, Long Ji immediately gave the order.
Immediately three bands of soldiers, armed with spears and bows and arrows, went toward the other gates. Several soldiers opened the city gate and welcomed Wu Nian in.
Although Cao Ding did not convince Lu Jubei and Ma Zheng, he listened to the information. After Wu Nian entered the city gate, he immediately led Long Ji and the remaining ironclad soldiers to surround the hundred yamen of the military camp.
...........
Inside the yamen of a hundred households. in the bedroom.
Lu Jubei hugged his concubine and slept sweetly. Men, powerful and powerful masters, naturally have one wife and multiple concubines.
His wife was also born in a scholarly family, and she was very good-looking when she was young, but over time she became a yellow-faced woman.
He doesn't know how long he hasn't had a wife in the same room, and he sleeps with a different concubine in his arms every day.
A few days ago, because of the dragon, he suddenly killed. He slept very restlessly, at least three or four times to wake up, and now in this weather, peeing out of the bed, it was really cold.
During the day, Cao Ding came and said that he only needed food and supplies. He put his mind at ease, he didn't get up once tonight, and he had a tendency to sleep until dawn.
Until there was a sharp knock on the door.
"Sir. Master. Someone attacked the mountain fort. The panicked voice of the house slave sounded.
Lu Jubei first opened his eyes in a daze, and the next moment he woke up, and his face changed greatly: "It's bad." I fell for Wu Nian's tricks. ”
"Cao Ding, this guy is fooling me during the day. Wu Nian couldn't tolerate me at all. ”
Lu Jubei was resourceful in the end, and immediately understood the trick.
With a "snap", Lu Jubei stretched out his right hand and slapped himself hard. The little concubine who woke up next to her couldn't believe her eyes when she looked at the red marks on Lu Jubei's face.
The old man actually beat himself up?
"Don't panic. Don't panic. Since Wu Nian chose to sneak attack, it means that he is also afraid of us. As long as we hold our ground, we can hold the castle. ”
Lu Jubei didn't care about the cold, put on a thick coat, opened the door and walked out, shouting to calm everyone in the house.
Soon after, Ma Zheng put on his armor and entered the yamen to make peace with Lu Jubei.
Inside the hall. Lu Jubei put on his clothes, drank tea anxiously, and waited for news. Seeing Ma Zheng coming in, he immediately stood up and asked, "Master Ma." What's going on now? ”
"We're surrounded by ironclads." Ma Zheng's face turned blue and said.
"How could it be ?!!! so fast" Lu Jubei completely lost his previous calmness, his mind was dizzy, and he said in a lost voice.
Under the management of him and Ma Zheng, there are as many as four or five hundred soldiers and militia in Chengshan Fort, and Ma Zheng leads the troops well.
Although Wu Nian was in the front and the sneak attack was behind, he explained so quickly. Lu Jubei still felt unacceptable.
"No way. The ironclad soldiers who came in were very elite. Ma Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"How many people are there in our barracks now?" Lu Jubei took a few deep breaths, forced himself to calm down, and asked in a deep voice.
Same as Fort Kitayama.
Outside the yamen of the hundred households, there is a complete barracks, which can be guarded for a while.
"There are about a hundred and fifty people." Ma Zheng had already counted it, and blurted out his debut when he heard the words.
Lu Jubei's eyes lit up, he stood up and paced back and forth: "Okay." With soldiers on hand, we have the capital to negotiate. ”
"Sir, mean?" Ma Zheng's heart was relieved when he heard this, revealing a look of hope.
"We rely on this castle, Wu Nian can't attack it, so there is nothing we can do. But he has attacked, and the soldiers can provide a steady stream of support. Although we still have more than 100 people, we can't bear it. ”
"Our plan to divide the castle has come to naught, for now. can only endure humiliation and succumb, and reluctantly give Wu Nian his life. ”
Speaking of this, Lu Jubei's face showed a look of determination, and he held his head high and said, "Isn't Wu Nian recruiting talents?" I am a man, resourceful, and manageable. ”
"Master Ma, you are very good at your skills and can lead soldiers."
"We voted for him. He must have been overjoyed to reuse us. ”
Lu Jubei has a very flexible bottom line. When Wu Nian sent troops to Guangyang, he wished that Wu Nian would die in Guangyang, and then he could take over the foundation of Beishan Fort.
After learning that Wu Nian had returned, he retreated to the next best thing, intending to refuse to defend Chengshan Fort and become an independent force, the emperor of the soil.
Now that Wu Nian has attacked, he can surrender smoothly and choose to give Wu Nian his life.
And he was confident.
He is a member of the Chu State, and Ma is the chief flag officer, all of which are officially certified by the Chu State. If we return to Wu Nian, can he still accept it?
Not only to accept, but also to sweep the couch to welcome and reuse us.
