Chapter 36 Wudang City
Wuguan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At night, the wind at the end of February was still bleak, and the baby jade rabbit had never risen in the bed, and the starlight was dim like a layer of silk.
The gate of Wuguan was quietly opened, and at the same time, the drawbridge was also lowered, and a Yuan army wearing iron armor, horses picking bells and people quietly walked out, and the army rushed straight to the Jin army camp opposite.
There are a lot of antlers and horses outside the camp, and there are one or two patrolling Jin troops, and there are people defending the arrow tower in the camp, but unfortunately the people on the arrow tower are leaning on it and falling asleep.
This is not difficult for Chen Lan, who was born as a bandit, and has been waiting for him to get close to the Jin army camp without being discovered, and it has been smooth beyond imagination.
Chen Lan snorted coldly: The Lucheng army has fought a lot, and they are all fighting! Such lax precautions can also be victorious.
"Brothers, the opportunity to make a contribution has arrived, and you will fight with someone."
Chen Lan suddenly got on his horse and rushed towards the gate where the antlers were removed with a thousand cavalry.
The archers of the arrow tower had already been shot dead, and the formation of a thousand cavalry charging was very large, so it stands to reason that the camp should be noisy, but why is there so little movement?
Chen Lan took the lead in the camp with doubts, and suddenly the center of gravity suddenly rushed forward, and Chen Lan was turned upside down by his BMW.
Chen Lan used her skillful martial arts to fade away from the momentum, and was about to avoid her own people who rushed over, when suddenly her feet were empty, and then the pain of piercing her heart came, Chen Lan looked down and saw that the soles of her feet had been penetrated by a sharp blade.
"Old man Huang, it's best to pray that it doesn't fall into the hands of the general."
Chen Lan's heart-rending roar caused the cavalry behind to rush in one after another, without exception, they were either tripped by the horse pit and fell down, or they were rushed away by the cavalry behind.
"Quick, get out."
Chen Lan yelled in pain, but the sound of horses' hooves overpowered his roar, and the people behind thought that he was rushing forward and rushed into the camp at a faster speed, and soon the entire camp was congested in front of them.
Suddenly, countless torches in the camp lit up, and Chen Lan clearly saw that a young general's hand was raised fifty paces away, and countless archers were aimed at them.
"No, don't!"
Chen Lan watched the young general's hand fall and not only yelled, but then did not hesitate.
Arrows rained down, and Chen Lan was hit by dozens of arrows, obviously too dead to die.
Yuan Jun, who was blocking the gate of the camp, saw that Chen Lan was dead, and he was even more confused.
There were already countless Jin troops surrounded by torches on the periphery, and the Yuan army brought by Chen Lan had already noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly turned their horses and headed towards Wuguan.
On the Wuguan, Zhang Xun watched countless fires suddenly appear in the Jin army camp, and he understood in his heart that Chen Lan had planted it, and then countless torches around him came together, which made his heart lift again.
The 1,000 elite horsemen that Chen Lan brought with him this time were the only fast maneuvering force in his hands, and once they were all lost, even if he wanted to retreat safely, he couldn't retreat.
However, when the remnants of the Yuan cavalry rushed to the front of Wuguan to call the door, Zhang Xun prevented Hou Yin from opening the door, and Hou Yin was puzzled.
Zhang Xun said: "The Jin army is good at fighting, and it is good at special warfare, how many of the cavalry below do you think are Jin troops?"
Hou Yin was stunned for a moment, yes, the Jin army does have a precedent of deception.
Zhang Xun watched the cavalry of the Yuan army call the door to retreat to no avail, and finally had to surrender to the Jin army.
The Jin army is good at fighting and lives up to its reputation.
Zhang Xun lost all his rapid mobility in exchange for these eight words.
A hundred miles away, Wudang.
Wudang City is named after Wudang Mountain, which was built by Yancen in the early Eastern Han Dynasty.
The population has withered in the past two hundred years, but with the Yellow Turban Rebellion, wars broke out, and a large number of people gathered in Wudang City.
Since Liu Bei occupied Hanzhong, Yuan Shu sent his subordinate Lei Xu to lead 2,000 elite soldiers to garrison.
The alliance of Liu Yuan is strong, coupled with the steep Wudang Mountains, Lei Xu is the emperor here, the defense is becoming more and more sparse, and even the training of troops is also abandoned, but the number of men and horses is increasing, and it has increased to 5,000 people one after another.
With a great increase in soldiers and horses, grain and grass naturally have to be raised by themselves.
Lei Xu didn't dare to solicit from the local clans, so naturally he suffered the local people, and some people left in successive years, or entered Hanzhong along the water, Lei Xu didn't care.
On this day, Lei Xu just took a concubine and fell asleep after tossing all night.
Suddenly, there was chaos in the city, and shouts of killing were everywhere.
When Lei Xu got up, the city gate was opened, and a fleet of ships came from the water, and a team of elite soldiers drove down from the boat.
Lei Xu's 5,000 men and horses were okay to deal with the mountain bandits and the people, but they could only be defeated and flee in the face of the elite troops.
Lei Xu got the news of the rout, only to know that the Jin army had entered the city, and in a panic, he hurriedly fled out of the city with his personal guards, and Wudang City easily fell into the hands of the Jin army.
When Li Yan led a large army into Wudang City, the entire Wudang City had fallen into the hands of the Jin army, and as soon as Li Yan entered Wudang City, he issued a notice to calm the people, and then sent people to punish those who committed adultery, and there were civilian officials of the Jin army to pacify them.
The Jin army did not levy food, and drove away the scourge of Lei Xu, and the people cheered.
With the foothold of Wudang, the Jin army can continue to drive along the water from Hanzhong, and then it can go south along the water, and it can also attack both sides of the Danshui.
The next day, Li Yan led the sailors to continue south.
Nanyang is the largest county in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Bei is determined to win, and it cannot fall into the hands of Liu Biao, so he is competing with Liu Biao at the moment is time, the two sides are allies, and they are both Liu clan relatives, of course, who occupies this city.
Wuguan, the Jin army was busy all night, but only Chen Lan was arrested, and Zhang Xun sat firmly in Wuguan, which made Huang Zhong not only sigh.
The next day, Huang Zhong led a large army to attack the fortifications, and the first thing was to fill in the moat in front of Wuguan.
Shield-covered wagons appeared under the wall, and along with them were wheelbarrows loaded with earth and rocks to fill the river.
There are shield cars to block the arrows of the Yuan army on Wuguan, and the kung fu moat for most of the day is filled, and the Jin army, which has rested in the afternoon, holds high the large wooden shield of iron, and carries the cloud ladder towards Wuguan.
One after another, the iron-clad wooden shield marched to the city like an iron wall, and then the ladder was erected, and one by one the Jin troops wearing heavy armor climbed the ladder and quickly rushed towards the city.
On the wall, Yuan Jun used various means such as rolling wood, rolling stones, and hot oil to greet the Jin army, and it was not until the sun set that the Jin army withdrew and dragged back nearly a hundred corpses under the wall.
In the half-day siege of the city, the Jin army killed more than 100 people, hundreds of minor wounds, and more than 200 serious wounded.
Fortunately, there were military doctors who treated them, but even so, the death toll exceeded 15.
After Huang Zhong took a turn around the wounded barracks, Wen Ping was already waiting in the big tent of the Chinese army, Huang Zhong didn't talk nonsense, and said at the moment: "This time to capture the city, you can be sure of victory."
"Yes."
Wen Ping said in a firm tone.
Hanging down from the top of the stream, this is the first time in the history of war, not only Huang Zhong is not too sure, even Wen Ping is also worried, but he can't tell Huang Zhong about this uneasiness, because this victory will go down in history.
The famous generals in the Jin army are like clouds, and the fierce generals are even more innumerable, if there is no surprise, how can they go down in history? Wenpin will never give up this opportunity.
