The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 405 Besieging Sun Quan
Because the situation was more urgent, Dongfang Sheng didn't talk too much about other things with Lu Su. After inquiring about the situation in Danyang County, Dongfang Sheng immediately led his troops into Lu Su's barracks.

From what Lu Su said, Dongfang Sheng knew that Sun Quan was really pretending to attack Xuzhou, because he still had enough soldiers and horses. If he really stormed Xuzhou, he would definitely lose some soldiers and horses.

But this time, Sun Quan really underestimated Lu Su's strength. Lu Su was deeply rooted in Jiangdong, supported by several local noble families, and supported by talents like Lu Xun.

Danyang's difficulties can be said to be no surprises, but although Sun Quan's strategy is not as good as his elder brother Sun Ce, he has his own way of defending the city, so the current situation is that Lu Su can't do anything to him, and he can't escape Danyang County.

However, such a situation is not good for Dongfang Sheng and Lu Su, because if they can't deal with Sun Quan as soon as possible, once Liu Bei has gained a firm foothold in Jingzhou, Cao Cao will raise his troops and press on. Then there will be trouble.

So Dongfang Sheng immediately stated that he would take down Sun Quan with thunderous speed. After a little rest, Dongfang Sheng assigned a good manpower. He still led the army, and the rest performed their duties.

In the evening, Dongfang Sheng and Zhou Yu made an appointment to fight outside the city.

Zhou Yu's face was pale, but his spirit was good, but Dongfang Sheng didn't see Sun Quan.

"Don't worry, Gong Jin." Dongfang Sheng was supplemented by Lu Su and Cai Mao's troops at this time, so he didn't have to worry too much about the lack of troops for the time being.

Zhou Yu reined in the horse's rein and said with a smile, "Meng Ren is indeed the person whom the lord values, but it's a pity... I admire you very much, and even Ziyi was persuaded by you."

When Zhou Yu mentioned Lu Su, Lu Su, who was beside Dongfang Sheng, immediately stood up and said, "Brother Gongjin, those who know current affairs are heroes. Now you and I are masters. Please forgive Ziyi for not being merciful."

"Oh, you and I will meet each other in battle." Zhou Yu said with a long sigh: "This is really a trick of fate."

After reminiscing about the old days, Dongfang Sheng led the army to cover up the past. Zhou Yu's army was broken by Dongfang Sheng last time, and now he has not been able to get another one. At this moment, he is using infantry and cavalry to face Dongfang. win.

When the two armies fought, Dongfang Sheng defeated Zhou Yu by virtue of the overall quality of the army.

When the sun was setting, Zhou Yu was defeated and retreated to the city, while Dongfang Sheng ordered all the soldiers to sweep the battlefield with torches.

The corpses of the enemy soldiers were stacked in order and then poured with kerosene and burned to prevent the corpses from decomposing and causing plague. All the corpses of one's own troops were taken back to the barracks. The cards are registered and recorded, and when you go back in the future, the families of the soldiers who died in battle will have pensions and various preferential treatment policies.

After a contact, although Dongfang Sheng won, he also paid a price.

Thinking about it, if Sun Quan sticks to Danyang, he may be able to keep it for a while.

Dongfang Sheng held an impromptu meeting in the military tent, and finally he made a decision to raid the city with surprise soldiers, and directly carried out the "beheading" action to take down Sun Quan in one fell swoop.

Cao Cao is the one who likes to use strange soldiers the most in history. He often appears in unexpected places to give the enemy the deadliest blow. The most famous is the Battle of Wuchao. Cao Cao led Qingqi to capture Wuchao and then Yuan Shao The army rations were burned out, and finally won the battle of Guandu.

Dongfang Sheng asked Lu Xun and Zhuge Liang to assist Lu Su in guarding the barracks, while he selected a thousand of the best soldiers from the army to follow him to carry out the "beheading" operation.

The 1000 people who participated in the "beheading" operation had extra meals, meat and drinks that night, and had a good rest until midnight.

When the moonlight was still bright, outside Lu Su's barracks, Dongfang Sheng was wearing a black night suit and was facing a thousand army elites. After scanning around, Dongfang Sheng made a gesture, and then the 1000 people began to follow Dongfang Victory rushes.

All of them were wearing black night suits, and there should be many new gadgets around their bulging waists. None of them had any other long weapons, and presumably they all used daggers.

Without torches, everyone trotted on the road under the moonlight.

When Dongfang Sheng selected, he also paid attention to removing those soldiers with night blindness, so these 1000 people could fully adapt to walking in the dark.

When approaching the city, Dongfang Sheng immediately ordered the [-] soldiers behind him to disperse with gestures, and first deal with the enemy defenders on the periphery.

Blowing barrels and sleeve arrows, these thousand soldiers are equipped with some new gadgets developed by Ma Jun.

These things are perfect for ambushes.

For example, a blowtorch, this thing can blow out a slender steel needle, just need to purify the poison on the steel needle, then it is a sharp weapon for killing people.

In half a cup of tea, the defenders deployed by Zhou Yu on the periphery were completely annihilated, and none of them slipped through the net, and of course they were not noticed.

Dongfang Sheng glanced at the defenders on the city wall, and made a simultaneous gesture to the soldiers behind him.

The soldiers beside him immediately glanced at the drowsy defenders standing on the city wall. After calculating the number, they immediately assigned one to each of them.

After an agreed time, they greeted the defenders on the city wall with the sleeve arrows.

puff!puff!puff!
These defenders were still in a daze when they were shot by the sleeve arrows from the city, and they died immediately. Moreover, all the sleeve arrows were aimed at their throats, and all the defenders could only lie on the ground whimpering. No alarm at all.

After doing all this, Dongfang Sheng immediately began to climb the city wall.

There were steel nails on the shoes, and using the dagger in his hand, the low city wall was immediately conquered by Dongfang Sheng.

The rope was lowered, and after a quarter of an hour all the soldiers climbed onto the city wall.

Rope climbing is also one of Dongfang Sheng's basic training for the army. Although this boring training method seems useless in normal times, it is very useful once it is used.

After everyone climbed onto the city wall, Dongfang Sheng immediately rushed down the horse path with a thousand soldiers.

At this time, Dongfang Sheng didn't hide anything anymore, lit the torch, and rushed directly to the government office area at the fastest speed.

At this point, except for the soldiers on patrol and the soldiers defending the city, the rest of the people rested.

After Dongfang Sheng and the others rushed to the government office area at the fastest speed, there were no pursuers following them.

Because Dongfang Sheng didn't know where Sun Quan was, he had to rush directly into a seemingly largest house with his soldiers.

The vermilion door was smashed open, and as soon as Dongfang Sheng entered, two soldiers in heavy armor jumped out of the door.
