Chapter 559: Surprise Attack on Julu City (2)(1/2)
The number of people who climbed the city was less than ten, and the troops were too sparse to defeat the defenders at the top of the city, nor to enter the city to control the situation. The best option was to open the city gates wide and let the army enter the city.
The people who climbed the city quickly headed down the city without making any stops.
On the way, I happened to meet a small army patrol patrolling the city.
When we met twice, the people who climbed the city did not hold torches in their hands, but the government patrol team held torches in their hands. In addition, the people who climbed the city were walking in a hurry, which was very suspicious.
The leading officer took a torch and shined a light on the captain. He looked at the group of people who were about to leave the city in front of him. He saw that although this group of people were wearing red military uniforms and their armor and stomach were normal, there was something vaguely weird about them.
The captain of the army squad stared at the unnatural looking comrade in front of him and asked doubtfully, "Is everything okay in the city?"
The climber looked unnatural and forced out a stiff smile, "It's... not bad."
The captain of the army squad nodded and stepped out of the way, letting his comrades from the lower city get off first.
Knowing that he would be lost if he stayed for a long time, the climbers did not stop and hurried down to the city with their heads lowered.
There are only seven or eight people in the government patrol team. These seven or eight people stand on one side and let a group of their comrades pass by in front of them.
The captain of the army squad, who was headed by him, watched the figures in front of him pass by one by one. When he saw that all the people in this group were unfamiliar and looked like thieves, with their heads lowered and not daring to look at anyone, the captain of the army squad became suspicious.
"Hey!" The captain of the army team suddenly grabbed the shoulder of the last person and asked, "Whose subordinates are you?"
The atmosphere was deathly silent.
"We are, we...are," the person who was stopped hesitated without raising his head, suddenly raised his head, looked over with a fierce look, and smiled cruelly.
The captain of the army squad secretly thought that something was wrong, and he tensed up and wanted to draw his knife on guard, but the "comrade" in front of him raised his hand and hit him with a hammer.
The captain of the army squad only had time to turn his head to avoid it, and the hammer that was about to hit his head hit his shoulder. Dong let out a dull pain, and half of his shoulder was numb.
The fight broke out in an instant.
The captain of the army squad barely managed to dodge one hammer, but the second hammer came right after him. His right hand was hit hard by the hammer, and it was too late to draw the sword. There was a city wall behind him, and there was no place to hide. He was in a hurry.
Then, the captain of the army squad raised his left hand and grabbed the opponent's wrist. He let out a fierce roar, and with all his strength, he rushed towards the opponent, blocking his waist and knocking him back half a step.
Before the officer's squad leader could further counterattack, he was suddenly hit hard on the abdomen by a huge force. Under the severe pain, the officer's squad leader's whole body froze.
He raised his knee and hit the officer hard on the abdomen. When he was unable to resist, the climber hit the officer's head hard with the hammer in his hand. The hammer fell with a screeching sound, knocking the opponent to the ground.
.
This was not the end. After one hammer blow, the hammer continued to hit him five or six times in a row, until the opponent's head was smashed into pieces of flesh and blood.
"Let's go! Let's go quickly!"
There was a very long sound in his ears. The Zhuozhou soldier gasped for breath. He put down his dead opponent, leaned over to pick up a torch, and hurriedly ran down the stairs.
Being prepared but not prepared, there were so many people, and they encountered a narrow road halfway up the stairs. The climbers suddenly launched an attack and quickly annihilated the patrolling squad of officers and soldiers.
It should be said that as a blunt weapon, the hammer has very good lethality in close combat.
All the soldiers who climbed the city had armored stomachs on their bodies, and the officers and soldiers patrolling the city also had armor and helmets. They were fighting for their lives. The officers and soldiers cut around their heads with swords. No matter whether they hit the head or stabbed the body, the blades could not break through the armor and seriously injure them.
And the hammer in the hand of the soldier who climbed the city hurriedly swung it without hesitation, hitting his hand, breaking his hand, and hitting his head. With a bang, the officer and soldier were wearing iron helmets on their heads. If the hammer hit the head, the opponent would be stunned.
As it turns out, two hammers will stand unsteadily, and three hammers will fall over.
Because of the sharp blunt weapons, a thrilling fight occurred. Four people were injured by the climbers, one had his ear cut off, one had his arm slashed, and two were stabbed in the torso. However, no one was seriously injured, and no one died.
On the other hand, the officers and soldiers were lying on the ground, not even one was wailing, they were either dead or unconscious.
Fortunately, Guan Yu's troops were well prepared, and the clothing of the soldiers who climbed the city had also been carefully arranged.
The captured red military uniforms of the Han Dynasty collected from the army, as well as the Han Dynasty standard armor and helmets, were worn in a complete set, which was more official than the official army. Even the official army could not have a complete set of standard equipment.
It was precisely because of the armor uniforms as cover that when they ran into the official patrol head-on, the official patrol did not notice the abnormality for the first time. This made the opponent accidentally fall into the plot and solved it neatly.
An enemy blocking the way.
The sound of the battle on the stairs had alerted other officers and soldiers on the nearby city walls.
The torches at the top of the city moved quickly, and officers and soldiers tracked down the place where the noise was coming from.
The people who climbed into the city had already rushed down the stairs first.
Hurrying slowly, a group of city climbers rushed to the city gate. In front of the city gate, there was actually a group of officers and soldiers defending it.
It has been exposed and lost its suddenness, so the people who climbed the city had to rush forward and fight to the death.
The guarding team of the officers and soldiers had long weapons and crossbows. The archers took the arrows and shot one person to death first. Immediately, there were only fourteen people left in the team that climbed onto the city. Then they engaged in battle. The officers and soldiers had the advantage of having long weapons. Each spear and the other were at each other's throats.
Cooperate, stabbing left and right, stabbing one of the climbers three or two times. The climber's right arm was stabbed by a spear. He raised his left hand and couldn't catch the spear. The officer's long arm hooked up, and with a slash of the long pole's blade, the climber was killed.
A blood line suddenly appeared on the neck, and a puff of blood spurted out from the wound on the neck. The climber clutched his neck and fell down.
Because the soldiers who climbed the city had only hammers as weapons, which were too short and could not resist the spears, they were almost killed because of their desperate fighting spirit.
The morale of the soldiers who climbed the city was slightly shaken, and no one dared to rush forward.
At the critical moment, someone raised his arms and said, "Come on! If you're afraid of death, you might as well not be a ghost!"
After that, he threw the torch in his hand at the officer's gunner Shi.
The torches were hot and heavy, so the officers and soldiers with guns and weapons had to avoid them.
All the climbers followed suit and threw out all the burned torches.
Then, everyone rushed forward desperately, rushed to a close distance, and fought with the officers and soldiers.
In the darkness, the firelight flickered, the sounds of weapons clashing and ripping across armor, the muffled groans of the wounded, and the thump of corpses falling to the ground were all noisy.
After a while, there was a noise.
When we went down to the city, among the fifteen people who climbed the city, after defeating the government troops, there were only eight survivors, and more than half were killed or injured.
Ignoring the injured, the eight surviving people rushed into the city gate. The city gate of Julu City was thick, and the door bolt behind the door was also extremely heavy. They hurriedly grabbed the door bolt, and the door bolt was completely lifted. It fell to the ground with a winter sound.
I tried my best to push the city gate with my hands and shoulders. With a dull creaking sound, the city gate was pushed open bit by bit.
The shouts of killing suddenly arose, and the officers and soldiers who came after hearing the sound chased and killed them into the city gate cave.
The city gate was only half-opened and there was no time to push it any further. The surviving climbers hurriedly lowered the gate, picked up hammers, and fought back.
In the city gate cave, there was a fire, and the officers and soldiers were shouting and killing. Only eight Zhuozhou soldiers survived, and they were weak.
The two sides engaged in battle, and for just a moment, two of the climbers were stabbed with spears and pushed back by the spears.
Seeing that the surviving Zhuozhou Army sergeants were about to be destroyed, "Kill!"
"Come on!"
…
Suddenly, a burst of shouts of killing came from outside the city gate and shook the city.
The rapid sound of horse hooves approached from outside the city. In the darkness, the knight on horseback and his horse were a black shadow, as dark as a ghost. The moment he broke into the city gate, he slapped the big knife in his hand to the left, and then slashed again with his backhand.
Smashed it towards Youdong.
The two heavy city gates that were half-open were smashed, and with two loud bangs and harsh creaking sounds, the city gates were slowly opened.
After that, Lai's momentum did not slow down, he suddenly raised the reins, and the horse under him raised its front hooves, arched its head, and roared forward.
The number of officers and soldiers who entered the city gate was less than thirty, and they were driving several enemy soldiers out. A general from outside the city suddenly rushed in. Before he could see the figure clearly, a black shadow roared towards him.
As soon as the wind arrives, so does the cold blade.
A flash of snow-cold sword light swept across, and several wooden guns in front of him broke off.
An officer and soldier at the front saw a black shadow in front of him wheeze, a puff, a sudden chill on his neck, and then the world began to spin, and his head flew away.
Guan Yu is brave, his horse is fast and his sword is heavy, he cuts through the crowds like cutting grass, he is invincible.
Under the leadership of Guan Yu, Zhuozhou Army troops filed into the city.
At this time, Julu City was full of disturbances, and the officers and soldiers had already reacted.
In the darkness, Guan Yu relied on his familiarity with the giant deer and rushed straight towards the center of the city where the government troops stationed themselves at the military office.
There is no need to attack the whole city, because we know the details of Julu City in advance. We know that there is a school ground in the Yamen of Julu City and there is a large open space. We know that this place is suitable for hoarding large groups of troops.
Judging from this, the place where the government troops stationed their troops was probably at the campus in the middle of the city.
Therefore, according to the advance plan, after the army entered the city, they would go straight to the government office and attack Huanglong.
As expected, the officers and soldiers were indeed stationed at the Lieutenant Colonel Field in Yingcheng.
In the government office, the generals and officers who stayed behind at Julu suddenly woke up from their sleep. After waking up, they suddenly felt that there seemed to be a cry for death.
In the midst of confusion, his subordinates hurried over and said, "General, there is chaos in the city!"
The expressions of the officers and generals changed greatly. They didn't even bother to put on their clothes. They quickly found their armor and weapons and hurried away.
Guan Yu was one step ahead of the officers and soldiers.
When the officers and generals hurriedly ordered some troops and horses to suppress the turmoil in the city, they had just led the troops out of the gate of the government office when they suddenly heard shouts of killing coming this way.
The expressions of the officers and generals suddenly changed, "Back off! Close the door quickly!"
The officers and soldiers who had just stepped out immediately retracted their hind legs. The officers and soldiers successfully closed the door before Guan Yu's army surrounded them.
Not long after, Guan Yu's troops arrived. Without any hesitation, Guan Yu immediately ordered his soldiers to surround the government office.
