The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1164 Liu Yin's Plan

When Wu Jun was swimming, everyone brought their own weapons, but they were helpless with the equipment used to siege the city, not to mention large-scale weapons such as catapults and ballistas, even the simplest ladders, they could not do anything. carry.

Xu Cun was not panicked at all, because how to attack the city was already in his plan.There is no ladder, you can use the hook rope, or you can build a human ladder. Anyway, the height of the city wall of Hulaoguan is not as high as that of ordinary prefectures and counties. At best, it is the size of a first-class county. From the perspective of Wu Jun in the city, it is not too high.

At this moment, Hulaoguan was shrouded in a thin morning mist, and there was no sound from all around, and there was hardly a single Han soldier on the top of the city.

Xu Cun couldn't help but secretly rejoiced, and said in his heart: "It's really God helping me!"

This morning fog is bound to hinder the sight of the guards. When Wu Jun sneaked to the city, they were not found. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Cun ordered two thousand Wu soldiers to attack immediately, preparing to take down the west gate of Hulao Pass in one fell swoop. .

Although the east gate of Hulao Pass was the focus of the battle, Huang Chong sent some troops to guard the west gate to prevent accidents, and ordered the defenders not to slack off and to patrol day and night.

It was early morning at this moment, and naturally most of the defenders were still asleep, only a very small number of patrolling sergeants were still fulfilling their duties, patrolling back and forth.

The early morning fog seriously obstructed the line of sight, and the Han soldiers patrolling the city didn't notice the danger at all, until they heard the crisp sound of the claw hook touching the city wall, they suddenly realized that something was wrong .

"There is an enemy attack! There is an enemy attack! There is an enemy attack!" The sentinel warned loudly and blew his whistle.

The high-pitched and sharp whistle echoed on the top of the city. Those Han soldiers who hadn't woken up all woke up this time. The battle has been tense these days, and all the soldiers are sleeping with armor. When they heard the whistle of assembly , jumped up one by one like a conditioned reflex, and immediately threw themselves into the combat position.

It can be considered that the Han army's response is quick and well-organized. If it is a little slower, the Wu army may have already attacked the city.After hearing the whistle, the generals of the Han army rushed to the city wall and looked along the crenel. They couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. The Wu army had already climbed to half of the wall by using human ladders and ropes. Fortunately, the Wu people didn't take advantage of it. The siege equipment, if using a ladder, should have almost rushed up by now.

The Han army immediately blocked and reported to Huang Chong.

After Huang Chong heard the news, he was taken aback. Unexpectedly, Wu Jun went around to the west of Hulao Pass overnight.But now it's not about how Wu Jun got to the west of Hulao Pass, but how to deal with it.

Huang Chonggang wanted to dispatch an army to the west gate for reinforcements, when he heard the rumble of drums and shouts of killing outside, the Chinese army came in and reported that the Wu army had suddenly launched an all-out attack, which was more violent than yesterday. outperformed.

It seems that the Wu army's actions were premeditated. They took advantage of the night to detour to the back of Hulao Pass, and then at dawn, they suddenly launched an attack from the east and west roads at the same time, trying to break the Han army's defensive position by attacking from both sides. Take Hulao Pass.

Now the Wu army in the east of the city is attacking very fiercely, and Zhu Wan's purpose is very clear, that is, Lu Kang made it clear that he wants to kill the Han army guarding Hulao Pass.

After the Wu army launched a full-scale attack, the defenders at Hulao Pass were tight. After all, the Wu army could mobilize at least 6 or [-] troops at a time, which was double the total strength of the Han army. The whole line is tight, which is completely expected.

It stands to reason that after a day of fierce fighting yesterday, the soldiers on both sides were exhausted. Even if they attack again, it should at least be after Mao hour. However, the Wu army suddenly launched an attack in the early morning, obviously coming prepared, and the purpose is certain It was for this group of people who attacked from the West Road.

Huang Chong couldn't help but feel worried. Now the Han army defending the city is already struggling with the Wu army's offensive in the east. It's hard to say whether the current situation can be maintained if some of them are transferred away.

But if you don't send more troops to the west gate, how can you stop the Wu army's attack with the little troops in the west?

Just when Huang Chong was in a dilemma, a soldier from Ximen suddenly reported: "Report to Vice Governor Huang, Ximen's invading enemy has been defeated."

When Huang Chong heard this, he was both surprised and happy, and asked why.

It turned out that after Huang Chong reported the general situation to Liu Yin yesterday, Liu Yin immediately ordered the Tiger Cavalry Army and Tiger Infantry Army to reinforce Hulao Pass overnight.After one battalion of the Tiger Cavalry Army and one battalion of the Tiger Cavalry Army were transferred to the Imperial Army, they still had two battalions each.

Zhu Wan's operation this time was indeed perfect, and caught the Han army by surprise. However, he had calculated everything, and still missed one point, that is, the reinforcements in the direction of Luoyang. It is to immediately send troops to reinforce.

The reinforcements sent out did not wait until dawn to act, but received the order at dusk, and immediately set off. They traveled a hundred miles overnight. Close the city.

This is completely an encounter battle. Even Luo Shang did not expect to encounter the Wu army outside the west gate. The Wu army is attacking the city on a large scale. At this moment, the tiger cavalry army suddenly arrived, and Luo Shang immediately ordered to destroy this Wu army.

The terrifying combat power of the Tiger Cavalry Army was simply beyond the reach of the Wu Army, let alone [-] cavalry against [-] infantry, such a crushing battle would have no suspense at all.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu Cun immediately led his remnants into the Yellow River. Luo Shang thought that the Wu army was invincible, and threw himself into the river one by one. After a closer look, he found that it was not the case at all. Water-based, jumping into the river to escape at this moment, the Han army can't catch up.

Luo Shang couldn't jump into the Yellow River to chase, so he had to order the archers to shoot indiscriminately, but they also shot and killed many Wu soldiers. Xu Cun swam desperately, and finally returned with his life.

Luo Shang and Gao Yuan, who came later, entered the city together to meet Huang Chong. Huang Chong was overjoyed. Unexpectedly, the Tiger Cavalry Army arrived, and they had already made a contribution. The reinforcements were all arranged by Liu Yin. At the same time, Luo Shang Gaoyuan brought Liu Yin's words. As for how to retreat from the enemy, Liu Yin already had a more detailed plan.
