Chapter 1024: Feint attack becomes the main attack
Outside Xuanyuan Pass, the Qin army's strong crossbowmen were still firing arrows at the pass.
The sun had set at the end of the horizon, and the sky was getting darker.
A feather arrow wrapped in a fireball pierced the gradually descending darkness, illuminating the outside of Xuanyuan Pass.
Because the Qin army's strong crossbowmen have been firing arrows from dawn to night every day for several days, the Qingzhou army guarding the pass has also become accustomed to them.
All the Qingzhou troops were still dormant behind the battlements, chatting and waiting for the Qin army's strong crossbowmen to stop firing.
Two hundred heavily armed soldiers of the Qin army formed a neat formation in front of Lu Bu, waiting for Lu Bu to give an order.
A pair of eyes all looked at Lu Bu, and the two hundred carefully selected soldiers of the Qin army had been waiting for three days.
Although they didn't know what kind of mission Lu Bu would lead them to, they knew that among the 30,000 troops on this expedition, they would be the pioneers to fight against the Qingzhou army guarding Xuanyuan Pass.
Looking around at the two hundred Qin troops present, Lu Bu said to them in a very loud voice: "All the soldiers, you and others are all the leaders selected by this general from the army, today you and other generals will follow this general to kill Xuanyuan Pass and open the pass for the army, I don't know if you have the courage!" ”
Knowing that Lu Bu was going to take them to Xuanyuan Pass, the two hundred Qin soldiers who were selected were already excited in their hearts, and when they looked at Lu Bu, they were also shining with expectation.
originally thought that Lu Bu would wave the army to attack Xuanyuan Pass, but he didn't expect that he only selected two hundred warriors, trying to use such a few people to kill the pass and open the gate for the army, Zhang Liao and Tai Shici both looked at Lu Bu with a stunned face.
After being stunned for a moment, Zhang Liaocai hugged his fists and said to Lu Bu: "Wen Hou is the main general of the army, this time he will attack Xuanyuan Pass, and he will lead two hundred soldiers, in case there is a mistake......
Before Zhang Liao finished speaking, Lu Bu had already raised his hand to stop him from speaking, and said to Zhang Liao and Tai Shici: "We are the generals of the Qin army, and we are favored by His Royal Highness, even if we die on the battlefield, it will be difficult to repay them. Today, a certain led two hundred warriors to kill the pass, and the two generals could lead the army and keep an eye on the gate of the pass at any time. Once the door is opened, the two of you will lead the army to enter, and we may have a way to live! ”
"Wen Hou rest assured!" Lu Bu's words also made Zhang Liao and Tai Shici boil, and the two hurriedly clasped their fists and bowed, saluted Lu Bu, and responded to his request.
Especially Tai Shici, who had earlier mentioned that he wanted Zhang Liao to be the commander of the army, and put Lu Bu in the air, and after listening to what Lu Bu said, he felt even more guilty in his heart.
After giving instructions to Zhang Liao and Tai Shici, Lu Bu turned to face the two hundred Qin army warriors present, and didn't say anything more, just beckoned to them.
With a hand, Lu Bu strode towards the pass of Xuanyuan Pass, and the two hundred selected Qin soldiers also followed closely behind him.
Due to the need to climb the city wall, Lu Bu led these two hundred Qin army warriors, and he did not slack off Fang Tian's halberd, but just pressed the hilt of the long sword at his waist with his hand.
In this battle, he will abandon his accustomed halberd and fight the enemy with a long sword.
Looking at the back of Lu Bu leading two hundred Qin army warriors to leave, Zhang Liao and Tai Shici also had a strong fighting intent boiling in their chests, and they had already forgotten their original mission when they came here.
"Pass the order, the army is ready, and respond to Wen Hou at any time!" Lu Bu and the two hundred Qin army warriors led by him, under the cover of the Qin army's strong crossbowmen launching rockets, quickly ran towards the pass, watching their backs disappear into a night that looked extremely dim under the light of the fire, Tai Shici ordered to one of the soldiers behind him: "Tonight, I will take Xuanyuan Pass!" ”
"No!" When they set out on the expedition, this Qin army knew what they came to Xuanyuan Pass for, and the soldiers were not very happy along the way.
The soldiers of the Qin army, who did not expect that they would suddenly change from a feint attack to a main attack, were inexplicably excited in their hearts after receiving the order.
The soldiers of the Qin army were ready to charge towards the pass as soon as the gate of the pass opened, and Lu Bu and the two hundred Qin army warriors led by him were already under the walls of Xuanyuan Pass at this time.
Earlier, the Qin army had also fought with the Cao army at Xuanyuan Pass, but at that time, the Qin army had not reached the pass and had been repelled by the Cao army.
With his back against the city wall, Lu Bu, who was standing under the pass, looked up at the top of the city wall.
The walls of Xuanyuan Pass are not very tall, if you count according to Lu Bu's size, it is only three or five as tall as him.
He gestured to the two hundred Qin soldiers who followed behind him, and Lu Bu's eyes were still fixed above the pass.
In the distance, the strong crossbowmen of the Qin army were still firing arrows towards the pass, but because Lu Bu and the others were below the pass, the strong crossbowmen raised their crossbows a few points higher for fear of accidental injury.
The powerful crossbow that has been raised a few points will shoot higher arrows than before.
There were fewer arrows hitting the walls, and there were more and more arrows flying over the walls.
Sitting under the battlements, looking up at the more and more fireballs in the sky, a Qingzhou soldier muttered: "The Qin army knows how to hurt people, and knows that I have been sitting here all day, and I am tired of idleness, so I lit the fire a little more!" ”
His words immediately attracted snickering from several other Qingzhou soldiers.
The Qingzhou army at the pass was still laughing at the Qin army's strong crossbowmen who fired arrows outside the city, but they didn't know that just below the city wall they were leaning on, there were already two hundred killing gods, looking for an opportunity to climb the city wall.
The city wall as a whole is made of bluestone, the surface is very smooth, there is no hand at all, no matter how strong the climbing expert, it is impossible to climb up the city wall.
But once the rope is used, it is very likely that the Qingzhou army on the city wall will be alarmed because the rope is thrown out inaccurately.
Acting in complete secrecy, it was impossible for Lu Bu to take such a risk.
Pulling out the short sword that every soldier of the Qin army is equipped with from his waist, Lu Bu made a gap in the bluestone of the city wall with the gap in the short sword **** to the two hundred Qin army warriors.
Although Lu Bu didn't say a word from beginning to end, the two hundred Qin troops immediately understood his intentions.
A soldier of the Qin army took over more than a dozen short swords from the hands of several companions beside him, ran to the short sword that Lu Bu had just inserted into the gap in the wall, stepped on the exposed hilt of the short sword with one foot, and hung in the air with the other foot, and **** the second short sword against the city wall.
Every time a short sword was inserted in the gap of the city wall, the Qin soldier would take out the next short sword from his arms, but in just a moment, he was already about to reach the top of the city wall.
When the soldiers of the Qin army did this, there were also thirteen or fourteen soldiers of the Qin army who followed his example and inserted a short sword with a handle that was used as a ladder on the city wall next to him.
More than a dozen soldiers of the Qin army acted together, and soon several rows of short swords were inserted on the city wall.
Looking up at the Qin soldiers who were about to reach the battlements, Lu Bu waved to the other Qin soldiers below the city, and climbed up one of the stairs made of short swords, towards the top of the city wall.
One by one, the Qin army went up the stairs made of short swords, and Lu Bu reached behind the Qin army at the top and pointed upward, meaning that the Qin army jumped up to the city.
Looking down and seeing Lu Bu's gesture, the Qin army did not hesitate for a moment, grabbed the battlements with both hands, jumped up to the city.
While Lu Bu and the others were climbing towards the city wall, the Qin army's strong crossbowmen outside the city had stopped firing arrows.
The Qin army's strong crossbowmen stopped firing arrows, and a Qingzhou army with a weak waist that had already squatted stood up, turned around and faced the outside of the pass, wanting to stretch his waist.
But before he could raise his arms, a dark shadow appeared in front of him and startled him.
The black shadow that appeared in front of him, holding a long sword in his hand, stabbed at his heart fiercely, and the Qingzhou army, whose arms were just stretched out, was pierced through the heart by a sword before he could understand what was happening.
At the same time that the heart of the Qingzhou army was pierced, more than a dozen Qin soldiers wearing big red armor had jumped down from the battlements at the same time.
The Qin army suddenly appeared on the city as if it could fly, and the completely defenseless Qingzhou army was taken aback.
Because they had been squatting behind the battlements for too long, many of the Qingzhou soldiers had wooden legs, and seeing the Qin army jumping on the city, they couldn't get up and fight for a while.
The Qingzhou army couldn't get up and fight, but the Qin army on the city wall would not spare them.
A long sword cut out a silver sword light, and before the Qingzhou army could understand what was coming, a piece of Qin army had already climbed the city wall, and many Qingzhou troops also fell under the Qin army's long sword inexplicably.
Lu Bu, who was on the city wall, held a long sword in his hand, and slashed the Qingzhou army in front of him all the way, and all the Qingzhou troops who dared to rush towards him were all chopped brains and blood splashed, and they fell to pieces on the city wall.
A Qingzhou soldier was obviously frightened by Lu Bu, and when the others saw Lu Bu, they were all busy retreating, but instead his eyes widened, he roared, and rushed towards Lu Bu.
The Qingzhou soldier rushed to Lu Bu, raised the short spear in his hand, and wanted to pierce Lu Bu's heart.
Who is Lu Bu? How could he let a Qingzhou army pierce his heart!
At the moment when the Qingzhou army had just raised the short spear, Lu Bu grabbed the big arm of the hand holding the short spear, twisted his big arm, and actually twisted his back flower.
was twisted by Lu Bu's big arm, and the Qingzhou army still wanted to struggle, but Lu Bu had already raised his long sword and slashed at the back of his neck.
As a puddle of blood shot out, the heads of the Qingzhou soldiers fell to the ground like a hairy ball, and the blood in the cavity also gushed like a warm fountain, splashing many people nearby with slimy blood on their faces.
