Chapter 1703 Raid
Liu Bei suddenly realized something and hurriedly sent someone to order the city gates on the east and west sides to strengthen the alert to prevent the enemy from raiding.
However, a reply message was soon heard from the three-sided city gate, saying that no trace of enemy movements was found outside the city.
Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief, then became confused and muttered: "There are no signs of enemy troops on the other three sides. Where did Liu Xian come from when he was clamoring outside?"
Mi Fang couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, does Liu Xian want to scare us with this, so that we can defeat the enemy without fighting?"
Liu Bei felt what he said made sense, so he nodded, looked at Liu Xian outside the city, and muttered: "I want to see what tricks you can play!"
Liu Xian's army sometimes clamored outside the city and sometimes changed its formation, as if it was performing an exercise.
However, Liu Beijun in the city did not dare to relax at all and was always nervous.
Time passed without realizing it. Seeing the sun set in the west and dusk came, the day passed just like that.
After a whole day of high-intensity alert, Liu Beijun felt exhausted at this time. Although his body was tired, his spirit was even more exhausted.
Liu Bei's army could no longer maintain its military appearance, and they all fell and tilted. The people who were forced to climb the city were even sitting on the ground in groups, and many of them were dozing off.
Liu Bei could no longer hold on and entered the city gate tower to sit down and rest, with the food and water sent by his subordinates.
Liu Bei rubbed his forehead and muttered with annoyance: "What exactly does Liu Xian want to do? Do you want to use this method to drag us down? But you can't save those people even if you do this!?"
The sun sets soon and night falls.
Liu Xianjun was still clamoring for exercises outside the city, but Liu Beijun and the people in the city were no longer accustomed to it. They were exhausted and rested on the spot, and there were already snoring loudly on the top of the city.
Liu Bei came out of the city gate tower and saw the scene on the top of the city. He frowned and said unhappily: "Why are you all relaxing? What if the enemy attacks at this moment?"
Mi Fang hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, your Majesty, I will arrange sentries to monitor the outside of the city closely. Everyone is very tired at this moment, so it's better to let them take a break."
Liu Bei felt that what Mi Fang said made sense and nodded.
Looking out of the city, seeing Liu Xianjun still practicing, he felt more confident in his heart that the other party's intention to drag down his judgment. He just felt that under such circumstances, his side should not be too nervous, otherwise wouldn't it be the other party's thoughts?
At the same time, in the woods outside the south city gate, the black-clothed team, the broken formation cavalry, the broken formation infantry and the ten thousand elite cavalry led by Lu Bu, were gathered one after another in the woods outside the south city gate.
Dian Wei said to everyone: "The time has come, it depends on us next! Xue Ying, you lead the black team to attack first, be sure to open the city gate before the enemy can react!"
Xue Ying held his fist and agreed.
Dian Wei glanced at the infantry and cavalry of the Breaking Formation, and said, "Once the city gate is opened, you will follow me into the city and defeat the enemy and occupy the city gate!"
He looked at Lu Bu and said, "Fengxian, it will depend on you later. You must lead the cavalry to pass through half of the city as fast as possible and seize the official office in one fell swoop! After the matter is completed, it will be launched immediately!"
Lu Bu smiled and said, "There is no problem! It's just a group of mixed fish!"
Dian Wei glanced at everyone and said, "No need to delay, set off immediately!"
The troops immediately came out of the woods and ran straight towards the city gate. At the front were the five hundred black-clothed soldiers led by Xue Ying.
The key to this battle depends on whether the black-clad team can open the city gate in the shortest time. If it succeeds, it is very likely that Lu Bu will seize the official office before Liu Bei can react.
Otherwise, this raid would probably turn into a tough attack, and then the huge casualties of the people would inevitably be inevitable.
The Five Hundred Black Team, led by Xue Ying, quickly came to the city walls on both sides of the city gate. The officers and soldiers observed the situation on the city walls. Although the lights were on, they were silent and there was no sign of the patrol team at all.
Several officers and soldiers quickly raised their crossbows and shot a special lock hook onto the top of the city. Only a few slight sounds were heard, but they did not attract the attention of the enemy on the top of the city.
Immediately afterwards, the officers and soldiers of the black team quickly climbed up the city like countless black ghosts in the dark.
After a while, Xue Ying led a dozen black-clad soldiers to the top of the city.
More than a dozen people quickly lowered their bodies to watch the situation on the city wall. They saw many officers and soldiers scattered on the city wall, but they were all sitting on the ground and dozing, and they did not notice that anyone had already entered the city.
Xue Ying waved his hand, and the officers and soldiers of the black-clothed team around him quickly touched the nearby officers and soldiers. The officers and soldiers were killed in their sleep, and they didn't know what had happened until they died.
The follow-up troops of the Black Clothes quickly climbed the city wall along the rope. In just about a stick of incense, all five hundred Black Clothes officers and soldiers all went up to the city wall.
Xue Ying led the black-clad team through the sleeping Liu Bei officers and soldiers, running straight toward the city.
At this time, a soldier from Liu Bei suddenly woke up and suddenly saw the officers and soldiers in the black-clothed team passing by. He couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?"
Before he finished speaking, an officer in black squad slashed at him. The soldier could not figure out what the men in black were in front of him until he died.
The officers and soldiers of the black-clothed team did not stop on the top of the city. They quickly descended from the city wall ladder to the city gate.
Dozens of Liu Bei soldiers at the city gate suddenly saw many people running down the city wall ladder next to them, thinking that their own people could not help but look at them.
Then Liu Bei's officers and soldiers discovered that the officers and soldiers who ran down were all dressed in black and masked clothes, and were shocked.
At this time, Xue Ying had already led the officers and soldiers of the black-clothed team to rush up, slashing with swords, and screams suddenly sounded loudly. The Liu Bei soldiers were caught off guard and were cut down in a pool of blood. The original silence was immediately broken!
The Liu Bei soldiers on the top of the city were awakened by screams. Before they could fully wake up, they could not understand what was going on. They all looked around with a confused look on their faces.
At this time, Li Yan, the general of Liu Bei's army, finally heard the screams coming from the city gate. He suddenly felt something was wrong and shouted anxiously: "It was the screams coming from the city gate! The situation was not right!"
"Ah! Isn't this Li Laosan? Who killed him?!" someone suddenly shouted.
Li Yan ran to Li Laosan's body. Seeing that Li Laosan had died of his chest cut open, he was shocked and said anxiously: "The enemy is here! It is the enemy is here! Get ready to fight, hurry!"
The officers and soldiers suddenly heard this and were panicked, and for a moment they didn't know what to do.
Chapter completed!
