Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 178: Night Attack

A trial, although it failed to meet Lu Bu's expectations, but Yan Yan's character was roughly grasped by Lu Bu. This general is not the kind of general who is so calm that he can ignore all provocations.

As people grow older, their temperament will also change. Some get older and more stable, but some get older and more irritable. Ability can’t be judged entirely by age. As a general, Yan Yan has a lack of character. If he were to defend the city himself, he would never rush out of the city to fight on the premise of knowing the difference between the enemy and us. If he comes out, he won't even be qualified for Lu Bu's evaluation. Although he is an enemy, Lu Bu still hopes that his opponent can be more plausible.

"My lord." Zhang Liao came in with Xu Huang and Pang De, and saluted Lu Bu, "Today's battle, although there is a small victory, I'm afraid we can't break through."

In today's battle, although Xu Huang has the upper hand, I'm afraid he can't even hit the opponent's morale. The Baishui checkpoint is like a natural barrier on their only way, and more importantly, there are many such natural barriers on their way forward. .

Thinking of this, even Zhang Liao felt a little headache.

"Not to mention Yan Yan's ability, but his temperament is not suitable for being a guard. Since he can come out once today, he will come out twice or three times. There will always be one time, which can seriously injure him! But how to break the Baishui Pass? Do you have a strategy in your mind?" Lu Bu didn't care much about this, if he can find the weakness of the enemy's general, then this battle is not destined to be too difficult.

Compared to Yan Yan, Lu Bu's biggest headache was the terrain of Baishui Pass. Even if Yan Yan only left 10% of his soldiers and horses to guard the pass, Baishui Pass could be defended!

this……

Zhang Liao shook his head. The terrain of Baishui Pass is just like that. According to Zhang Lu, this is only a strategic location, and the Jiameng Pass behind it is even more dangerous. How can this be broken?

Xu Huang and Pang De also frowned and thought hard. The terrain of Baishuiguan is obviously extremely difficult to break through, but unlike Zhang Liao, the two of them want to show it more, so they think hard and think about it. A strategy to defeat the enemy.

"Wenhe, what do you think?" Seeing this, Lu Bu didn't force it, and he couldn't figure it out. Even if he had an experience similar to breaking Shu, it was basically broken from the inside, not a frontal attack. But now The two sides are prepared to fight, and it will be difficult to defeat the enemy.

Jia Xu was also thinking, and shook his head helplessly when he heard the words, and said: "The way to break through is to take by force, and the other is to seize by force. , but with the steepness of Baishuiguan, neither is easy."

In fact, there are so many routines for attacking and defending a city, but in a place as easy to defend as Baishuiguan, the space for attacking the city is greatly reduced. Oil tactics, filling out with human life, this is the most tragic and least willing to use siege tactics.

Pang De hesitated for a moment, then clasped his fists at Lu Bu and said, "My lord, the last general is willing to take advantage of the night to attack the strong camp and steal the city!"

The army under Lu Bu's command had elite soldiers selected from hundreds of miles. In the late Han Dynasty, the classification of arms was not very clear. They were generally bows, shields, and spears, and then cavalry was added. After Lu Bu ruled the army, he began to let the armies select elite soldiers as battalions for attacking fortifications. These people were paid well, had good food, and meritorious service in every battle was indispensable, but they also had the highest death rate.

Even so, the whole army still sharpened their heads and wanted to drill into the fortified camp, because the fortified camp was not only paid well, but also the place where it was easiest to get meritorious service.

Under Lu Bu's governance over the years, the Guanzhong army has gradually become more of a professional army. It also has a well-established promotion channel and reward and punishment measures. The generals are all killed from the battalion, and this proportion is constantly expanding.

However, when Pang De said that he would lead the battalion to attack at night, he also had a bit of a desperate posture.

Jia Xu at the side heard the words, thought for a moment, then looked at Lu Bu and said, "My lord, although Yan Yan has a strong temperament, he is not incompetent. It is impossible for him to understand the method of attack and defense. He must be prepared at night."

Pang De looked at Jia Xu blankly, and he couldn't stop trying just because the enemy was on guard, so why fight?

"My subordinates think that tonight we will divide into two parts, and select ordinary soldiers to attack in one step. It is best if we can conquer, but if we cannot conquer, we can despise the enemy's will, and then attack the fortified battalion!" Jia Xu looked at Lu Bu and said with a smile.

Lu Bu nodded and smiled, "Wen He's plan is very clever."

Turning his gaze to Pang De and Xu Huang, he said, "Which of the two of you leads the first battalion?"

Obviously, the second time he led the fortified battalion, and the chance of success was even higher, but Pang De was a little unbelievable, what if he could break through the first time? Immediately got up and said: "My lord, since the general came up with this plan, the first battle should be fought by the future, please allow the general to select the elite first!"

The fortified battalion cannot be moved, but the generals in Guanzhong are not the only ones who can fight.

Lu Bu nodded. He probably understood what Jia Xu was thinking. This could be regarded as a kind of surprise, but it was a surprise that cost people's lives.

Immediately, Pound left the big tent and went to select soldiers until night, finally selected 800 elite soldiers, and took advantage of the night to quietly approach the city wall.

In the darkness, the walls of Baishui Pass were brightly lit. From time to time, someone could see someone throwing a torch that was about to burn out from the top of the city, and through the light of the torch, they could see if anyone below the city wanted to sneak attack.

Pound watched carefully for a while. This kind of defense density made people feel a little desperate. It was almost impossible to climb the city with hook claws. As soon as he threw it up, people found it. However, Pound didn't plan to use hook claws to climb at the beginning. .

In the darkness, except for Baishuiguan, the whole world seemed to be shrouded in darkness. In addition, the Guanzhong army was wearing black armor. Even if they were within the range of the city wall, the defenders at the top of the city would not be able to detect it. Pound relied on this , quietly touched the city.

He didn't immediately attack the city, just like a wolf observing its prey, hiding in the darkness, silently watching every move of the prey, and would immediately pounce and bite when the opponent showed a flaw, but right now, the prey was the most wary heavy moment.

Pound was very patient, and waited until midnight. After midnight, he could clearly feel that the city was getting darker, and some torches were extinguished, but no one continued to light them up.

After waiting for another half an hour, many soldiers could no longer bear the mountain wind. Finally, Pound saw the timing and blew a whistle. No one could be seen at night, and it was impossible to start a fire. He could only issue orders through voice.

The soldiers who heard the signal were shocked, and then Pound blew three whistles of different lengths. Two rows of soldiers walked out quickly, one of them held a claw, and the other held a long bamboo pole against the soldiers in front. Behind them, after groping to get under the city wall, the soldiers in the back row supported the soldiers in the front row with bamboo poles, and the soldiers in the front row climbed up the city wall with the support of the bamboo poles.

Although this kind of action is trained in the army on weekdays, it is prone to mistakes at night. Many people screamed and fell down, which alarmed the soldiers guarding the city, but immediately after, some people successfully rushed to the top of the city.

A Shu army guarding the city heard someone screaming and fell down the city wall, and thought it was someone from his family who had stumbled and fell under the city wall. When he wanted to look around, he saw a black shadow climbing up like a monkey. When the other party was stunned, under the flickering firelight, the knife light had already lit up.

The generals of the Shu army clutched their necks in astonishment and were kicked down, but the people who came quickly took off the ropes on their bodies, hooked the city wall with hooks on one side, and threw it directly on the other side for the subsequent soldiers to climb.

"Enemy attack!" The same scene continued to be staged, which quickly aroused the vigilance of the defenders at the top of the city, and a large number of defenders roared and rushed forward.

As soon as a soldier put down his claws, a Shu army rushed up and stabbed him in the abdomen. Before the opponent could react, he stirred violently, and the soldier who wanted to drag his back with all his might trembled. It was too late to do so, and then he was kicked out of the exam, bent his leg and hit the city wall, and fell down from the city wall screaming.

The general of the Shu army hurried up to remove the hook claw, but the hook claw seemed to have taken root on the ground, and it was difficult to remove the hook claw in a hurry. The more anxious, the tighter the pull, and the other end of the rope suddenly became taut. Apparently someone was climbing up the rope.

Seeing this, another Shu soldier hurriedly leaned out, wanting to cut off the rope, but heard an ear-piercing buzzing sound, subconsciously raised his head and saw a cold light flashing in front of his eyes, then his brows felt pain, his head Being shot through by a crossbow arrow, his body involuntarily leaned back.

The Shu army who was dismantling the hook and claws was furious when he saw this. When he looked up, a Guan Zhong army had already rushed up. The moment he looked up, he wiped his throat with a knife, and the blood spattered his cheeks. His eyes flashed cold murderous intent under the firelight, and after jumping off the female wall, he quickly killed towards the surrounding area.

The same scene continued to be staged under the night, but more and more Shu troops came from all directions after getting the news, hooks and claws were fixed on the city wall, and although there were more and more Guanzhong soldiers climbing up, But obviously not as much as the support of the Shu army.

Pang De climbed up along the rope, with the two ring-headed knives in his hand, slashing left and right. The soldiers rushing forward rarely had a single enemy, and quickly occupied a section of the city wall.

"Little thief, don't be rampant!" Just as Pound was about to stabilize a section of the city wall and signaled for the army to take advantage of the situation to attack the city, he heard a loud shout, and a general strode forward with a long gun in his hand. Brave, without saying a word, directly shot at Pound.

Pound fought with two knives, and almost failed to hold back, and immediately saw another person stabbing him with the same gun.

Pang De hurriedly dodged to the side, unleashed his two knives forcefully to his side, and slashed fiercely with his backhand...
