Chapter 94 Night Occupy Xunyang
The moon is like a hook, and the starlight is like a child's naughty eyes, blinking and blinking. This is a calm and peaceful night, of course, provided that nothing happens.
Strictly speaking, this is not a good weather for a sneak attack, but the scout itself is good at camouing. In addition to the things that Lu Qiang learned from movies and television in later generations, Jiangling's scout camp can now be said to be the first in the world in this regard.
Wang Kai led 500 camouflaged elite soldiers and quietly touched the lurking down not far from the gate. Just waiting for a signal from the city, he waited for the opportunity to pedal the city, and then forcibly occupied the gate to open the channel of attack for the large troops behind him.
The iron war also left to defend the city was also a veteran of Beifu. Like the iron war and others, they were promoted in this anti-huan battle. Although their ability is not great, they are still cautious, and their explanation to Zhou Anmu can also be meticulously implemented.
It's just that when everyone miscalculated, Zhou Anmu is no exception, not to mention a newly promoted officer.
At the beginning, the soldiers were still energetic, but after midnight, the soldiers in the city slackened. The officers knew that General Tie and General Zhou were leading the troops outside and did not think there would be any problem, so after explaining, they also found a place to sleep.
But as soon as the officer lay down for a while, the west gate was in chaos. He was so scared that he got up and couldn't afford to wear his clothes. He ran out with a knife. After a few steps, he saw his own soldiers rolling in and crawling in.
"General, big and big things are not good, and the enemy has come in"
"Liu Yi, a dog thief, send someone to find the two generals Zhou and Tie to help back"
The officer said hatefully and ran out. There were still 5,000 people in the city. As long as he persisted, he may not be able to wait for the two generals to come back.
"General, it doesn't seem to be Liu Yi's man"
"Hmm?"
At this time, the west gate has been in a mess. Luo Song led 200 brothers to touch the vicinity of the gate in the dark, unexpectedly came out while the defense was unprepared, put down the stone and opened the gate, but there was a suspension bridge outside the gate, and the army still could not come in.
However, this is Luo Song's task, because as long as he leads the soldiers at the head of the city, Wang Kai and others outside the city can rely on their flying claws to climb to the head of the city, then lower the suspension bridge, and cooperate with Luo Song to guard the gate to create time for the army.
For a while, the killing sound at the west gate was shocking, and the awakened Beifu soldiers in the city came to the west city one after another, and no farther away from the city, a rumble of vibration also came to the gate.
When 2,000 iron riders were first, according to Lu Qiang's instructions, 2,000 iron riders wrapped their horseshoes in cloth, and they were not allowed to shout to kill when charging.
In this way, 2,000 iron riders followed the gate occupied by Luo Song and others into Xunyang like a stuffy thunder. At this time, less than half of the 700 death squad brothers of Luo Song and Wang Kai have left, which shows the fierce battle for the gate.
The officers of Beifu are experienced in combat. Hearing the sound of thunderous hoofs, he knew that it was the cavalry of the brigade that came in. At this moment, he has no time to think about whose people and horses they are. He is also a dead end to lose the city. Just fight!
The officers of Beifu were really good at it. Under such a messy situation, they still mobilized nearly a thousand horses at the fastest speed, but as they rushed to the west gate, they were meeting the Jingzhou cavalry head-on.
The officer has rich combat experience. When he saw the cavalry from afar, he ordered people to prepare shields, and then the spear soldiers came forward to prepare to meet the Jingzhou cavalry, but to his surprise, the first batch of flying was not bows and arrows, but short-handled javelers.
This kind of short-handled javelin is powerful and thrown out with the speed of a war horse. The ordinary shield can't stop it at all.
In the sound of poo, poo, the soldiers in the north suddenly fell down as if they had been nailed, and the long gun array was not organized at all.
And just before the frightened officer could give another order, the cavalry had already killed close. As the officer's head was cut to the sky, the remaining soldiers completely collapsed and began to flee with a whistle.
The collapse of this main resistance directly led to the paralysis of the whole city defense. Some soldiers surrendered on their knees, some escaped from the city, and many took off their military uniforms and hid into private houses.
In just one more than one more time, Jiangling people and horses occupied this important town in Jiangzhou, which is so fast that it is unprecedented.
Guo Quan led 8,000 soldiers to enter the city after Zhou Kui. It was Zhou Kui's business to chase and kill the remnants. After he entered the city, he first occupied the four cities, closed the gates, and then strengthened his defense. He once stationed Xunyang and knew that as long as he was properly guarded, Zhou Anmu wanted to take it back with 15,000 people, which was no different from dreaming.
At this time, Lu Qiang was not in the city, but led 20,000 horses to the Beifu navy camp. He had already thought that if he could not get this batch of warships, it would also be destroyed. He must not leave Liu Yu with weapons to attack himself.
The navy camp is not far from Xunyang City. When there was a shout of killing in the city, the soldiers in the battalion had woken up one after another. Although they guessed that something might have happened to Xunyang, they did not dare to save them without Zhou Anmu's order.
At this time, Lu Qiang's 20,000 troops came over.
The naval battalion was not completely built on the water. Last time Zhou Anmu cooperated with He Wuji to attack Xunyang, he also built a lot of tents on land in order to facilitate the soldiers to rest. On the periphery of the tent, a circle was roughly surrounded by fences, but it was not high.
Under normal circumstances, there is no problem for Zhou Anmu to build a camp like this, because there is a strong city in front of him, and it is impossible for the enemy to attack. Even if Xunyang is surrounded, they can calmly get on the ship and wait for the opportunity to cooperate with the defenders in the city to counterattack.
But Zhou Anmu never dreamed that Xunyang would be so easy to be broken, which directly led to the complete exposure of the sailor battalion to the strong people on the road.
The navy camp of the Beifu Army has no leader. In the face of many enemy forces under black pressure, no one dares to fight. There are people who know how to return to the ship quickly, but there are also many people who have not waited for orders. They stand in the camp with knives and guns and don't know what to do.
"Oh! How did the boat move? Grandma, do you want to escape from the battle?
"The general is wrong. It seems that someone stole the boat..."
Just as Lu Qiang led a large army to attract Beifu sailors in the front camp, the Jiang brothers had led 500 good men to sneak into the water and touched the Beifu navy camp.
There is God's will in the dark. The originally well-guarded sailor camp was first attracted by the chaos of Xunyang, and then found that the camp was surrounded. In this case, who would pay attention to the enemy emerging from the water?
In a short time, the Jiang brothers controlled five or six warships, and at this time, Lu Qiang, who found that the Jiang brothers had already taken action, also began to launch an attack on the navy battalion.
Tan Daoji, who stood next to Lu Qiang to command the battle. Looking at the former comrades in the front camp, a trace of complexity flashed in Tan Daoji's eyes, but soon returned to his usual coldness.
Tan Daoji is very clear that since the day he joined the Jiangling Army and was promoted by Lu Qiang, he has nothing to do with the Beifu Army. Everything he has today is given by Lu Qiang, so he has only one loyalty goal, that is, Lu Qiang.
"Archers, cassors, knives and shields, in turn"
With the military order handed down by Tan Daoji, the Jingzhou soldiers first suppressed the counterattack of the Beifu Marine Division battalion with bows and arrows, and then dozens of horses rushed out, trapped the low fence with a rope, and then turned to urge the war horses.
Soon, the fence of the Marine Camp was pulled out by the Jingzhou people in this way. Then, under the order of Tan Daoji, 3,000 knives and shield soldiers raised their shields and steadily, followed by 5,000 spear soldiers.
A team of Jingzhou people and horses were trained as usual, and the queues neatly entered the Beifu Marine Division Camp, and then there was crazy killing.
In fact, when the fence was pulled, the officers and soldiers of the Beifu Marine Division knew that the general situation had gone, but the usual toughness of the Beifu Army made them fight with the Jingzhou people, but nothing helped.
I have to admit that the Beifu army is indeed very strong and resisted the Jingzhou army at the beginning, but now they are like scattered sand, how can they fight with the neat army?
As more and more Jingzhou soldiers entered the sailor battalion, the sailors in Beifu finally began to disperse.
On a dirt slope in the distance, Lu Qiang looked coldly at the fight in the Beifu Marine Division camp. To be honest, he was also very nervous when he fought against the Beifu Army for the first time. However, as the war unfolded, his nerves also eased. This day will come sooner or later, and this time he will be regarded as a practice.
With the collapse of the Beifu navy, there is no suspense about the war situation. What he is thinking now is how much warship can be left, and when Zhou Anmu can come back?
But what if he comes back now? Attacking the navy camp, Lu Qiang only sent 10,000 people, and the remaining 10,000 was to prepare for Zhou Anmu's sudden return.
Now it seems that this worry is no longer necessary, because the war will soon end.
In fact, Zhou Anmu did not lead the people too far, more than 50 miles, and one was dark. In addition, he didn't want to make a big deal out of the matter. In his mind, as long as he sent troops to deter Liu Huaisu, Liu Huaisu would not dare to send troops to attack the iron war. He even thought that even if something happened to Xunyang, he would rush back as soon as possible. Can anyone attack such a large city if he wants to attack it?
I guess Zhou Anmu may have forgotten that there were two words in the world, and he didn't expect that Lu Qiang would come to seize the city in person.
After receiving the news that Xunyang was occupied by the deserters, Zhou Anmu almost fainted and hurriedly urged people to return to Xunyang, but waiting for him was the closed gate and the cold arrows on the city.
It was dark and could not see the flag on the city, but Zhou Anmu seemed to be a little familiar with the old man in the city and the firelight, but the distance was too far away to remember who he was for a moment.
Zhou Anmu hasn't spoken yet, but there are soldiers in the city shouting: "The people in the city will stop immediately, or they will shoot arrows."
Zhou Anmu once participated in the attack on the strong city, and when he came out, he did not carry any siege equipment. He had no hope of capturing the city, and spit out a mouthful of blood in his anger.
The soldiers hurried to help him, but Zhou Anmu waved his hand and wiped the blood stains from the corners of his mouth before saying, "Who is in the city? Why fight against my city? We are the imperial army. Are you going to rebel?
Guoquan stood at the head of the city and looked coldly at Zhou Anmu under the city, but his heart was full of admiration for Lu Qiang. What capable people can't do and adults can't do is really heroic.
But Anmu is also naive this week. Can he still ask such a thing at this time?
"General Zhou, don't you know the veteran so soon?"
Guoquan didn't say much, and then his face turned a lot. He shouted, "I will be ordered by your majesty's jade mouth to seal Jing, the governor of the governor of the river, and the military road of the five prefectures to guard Xunyang. The idle people will retreat immediately. Children, there is a rule in the land, and the road lord has the strict order. If you dare to approach Xunyang, let's kill him."
With Guoquan's words, the soldiers in the city called it.
Guoquan is waiting for Zhou Anmu here, but he just wants to attack him. The riot soldiers in the city have not been cleaned, and the surrender soldiers also need to be resettled. A lot of things are waiting for him! Do you have time to stay here with Zhou Anmu Gadaya?
After saying that, he ignored Zhou Anmu, who was stunned in the city, and turned around and strode away.
Poor Zhou Anmu is just constantly chanting a name in his heart, "Lu Qiang, it was Lu Qiang who took my Xunyang..."
Under the repeated blows, Zhou Anmu could no longer stand it. His eyes were dark and he fell down...
