Chapter 747: Night attack on the police, heart stopping
It had been some time since Lu Xun led his troops to arrive outside Public Security City.
When Lu Xun first arrived outside the Public Security City, the first thing he did was not to plan an attack on the city, but to worship.
Who could it be that Lu Xun, the general of Soochow, could worship him in person?
The word "who" may be inappropriate.
Because Lu Xun worshiped more than one person.
Everyone in the world knows how badly Wu Jun was beaten by Mi Yang in the public security battle a few years ago.
Tens of thousands of Wu troops lost their lives in that battle, and no less than a dozen of Soochow's famous generals who had been famous for many years were lost in that battle.
As for the loss of armor, flags, food and other baggage, it can be described as countless.
Such a disastrous defeat is quite rare, let alone in the past few decades, even if we look at China's century-old history.
And that battle also made many people in Jiangdong fear Mi Yang and even Jingzhou.
Lu Xun knew that even though he successfully led his troops to the outside of the Public Security City, if he did not dispel the fear in everyone's hearts, the ensuing siege battle would not be easy.
The best way to dispel the fear in everyone's hearts is to pay homage to the tens of thousands of Wu soldiers who died outside the Public Security City.
The military system of Soochow is a private military system. Under the influence of the private military system, many of the tens of thousands of Wu soldiers who died in vain back then are inextricably related to the current Wu army.
Or friends, or tribesmen, or relatives...
With this relationship, during the worship process, the mood of the Wu army was quite sad and angry.
In particular, Lu Xun wrote an emotional memorial poem himself.
"I feel sorry for my hero, he died in vain without a coffin.
Sorry for my heroic spirit, my soul will never return."
These two sentences in the memorial text aroused the grief and anger in the hearts of Wu Jun to the greatest extent.
On the day when Lu Xun worshiped between heaven and earth, tens of thousands of Wu soldiers burst into mourning, and their cries were loud enough to shake the valley.
The reason why Lu Xun wanted to pay homage to Wu Jun, who died in the police battle in the past, was partly to express his inner grief.
On the other hand, he wanted to maximize the morale of the tens of thousands of Wu troops he brought this time by turning grief and anger into strength.
In this way, the fear in Wu Jun's heart will naturally be hidden.
For Wu Jun, who was superstitious about ghosts and gods, Lu Xun's method was useful.
After the sacrifice, the morale of the Wu army was high. They were gearing up in the camp every day, thinking of taking over the Gong'an City as soon as possible to comfort the tens of thousands of Wu's heroes wandering outside the Gong'an City.
In Guanping, within the Public Security City, through daily inspections of the city defenses, it is not difficult to discover this change in Wu Jun.
But Mi Yang was not in the city at the moment, and Guan Ping had always lacked quick wits. Even if he wanted to prevent Lu Xun from getting his wish, he could not stop Lu Xun.
And just after the Wu army blocked all the main roads leading to the public security from the outside world, Lu Xun took advantage of the high morale of the Wu army and launched several attacks on the public security city.
According to common sense, even if Lu Xun raised the morale of the Wu army to its peak, given the strength of the public security city's defense, the Wu army's several attacks should not pose much of a threat to the public security city.
After all, Mi Yang did not actually transfer the public security garrison to the north.
But sometimes in a war, what is competed is the ability of the enemy and our generals.
Guan Ping is a very responsible general, but his ability is far inferior to Lu Xun.
The most important thing is that Lu Xun has a full understanding of Guan Ping's character weaknesses.
Lu Xun specially designed a strategy for Guan Ping.
After the Wu army surrounded Gong'an City, Lu Xun ordered his men to beat gongs and drums every night to disrupt the rest of the soldiers and civilians in Gong'an City.
In addition to beating gongs and drums, Lu Xun also made several attempts at night to attack at night.
Under these two actions of Lu Xun, the spirits of the soldiers and civilians in the Public Security City were always in a tense state.
Especially for the loyal Guan Ping, Lu Xun's strategy of disturbing the enemy was very effective.
With Guan Ping's character, he knew Lu Xun's purpose even after Wu Jun harassed the enemy several times.
But he didn't dare to relax because of this.
In order to ensure the safety of the public security, Guan Ping still asked the soldiers in the city to guard the city wall day and night to avoid accidents, despite repeated pleas from the generals in the city.
Guan Ping's arrangement is the safest.
But no matter how elite the army is, it is still made of flesh and blood.
Guan Ping's strict orders, coupled with the constant harassment by the Wu army outside the city, quickly exhausted the energy of the Han army in the public security city.
What's even more disgusting is that Lu Xun had already anticipated Guan Ping's response.
After several false attacks, Lu Xun actually launched a large-scale night attack on the Public Security City one night.
That night, although the Han army fought bravely and successfully repelled the Wu army's attack, they suffered many casualties.
After that night, the morale of the Han army in Gong'an City became even lower.
As the saying goes, while the morale of the public security and Han troops continued to decline, the fighting spirit of the Wu troops outside the city remained high.
After that night, Wu Jun suddenly discovered:
It turns out that the Public Security City, which they used to regard as a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, is not as scary and indestructible as they imagined.
Under Lu Xun's false and true tactics, the balance of victory outside the Public Security City was tilting towards the Wu army's side visibly to the naked eye.
Lu Xun was very happy about this change.
Without Mi Yang, this battle will be easy to fight!
In his joy, Lu Xun planned to strike while the iron was hot.
So just a few days after the last large-scale night attack, Lu Xun convened the parliament again.
Based on the previous experience, all the Wu generals who were summoned today roughly guessed Lu Xun's purpose.
The Wu generals looked happy and quickly gathered in Lu Xun's military tent.
When all the Wu generals took their seats, some people quickly started praising Lu Xun.
"The general is extremely intelligent and can play with the Guan Ping child in the palm of his hand.
I just returned from changing defenses in the west of the city. Before I left, I saw with my own eyes the bandits in the west of the city. Some of them could not even hold their weapons steady."
Liuzan said this with a smile.
As soon as Liu Zan finished speaking, Sun Huan on the side quickly took over and said:
“If you can’t even hold the weapon in your hand, how can you still be called a soldier?
I think even women and children are worse than that!"
Sun Huan's interesting metaphor instantly caused the Wu generals in the tent to laugh.
The bursts of laughter that came to his ears made Sun Huan feel extremely comfortable in his heart.
Before coming to the police, he was very resistant in his heart.
As for why you resist...
Everyone in the world knows it.
But Sun Huan still couldn't defeat Sun Quan in the end.
To Sun Quan, who had a thicker skin than the city wall of Jianye, Sun Huan's past experiences were nothing.
In Sun Quan's eyes, Sun Huan was a leader among the younger generation of his clan. How could he not contribute to Wu's glory?
However, how much Sun Huan resisted coming to the police before, now he feels so happy in his heart.
The police station is still the same police station.
But as long as Mi Yang was not in the public security city, everything seemed to become normal.
Lu Xun, who was sitting in the upper seat, saw that all the Wu generals were laughing heartily, but he did not say anything to stop them at first.
Lu Xun felt that they had been tortured by the shadow of the police battle for too long, and it was time for them to have a good time.
Soon after, as the laughter in the Wu generals' mouths gradually stopped, Lu Xun finally spoke:
"I am determined to launch another night attack on Public Security City tonight."
As soon as Lu Xun said these words, the eyes of all the Wu generals present showed excitement.
Although they had expected it before coming, they still could not conceal their inner joy after Lu Xun actually gave the order.
In their view, the current Public Security City is already a ripe fruit, just waiting for them to reach out and pick it.
In fact, during the last night attack, it would have been difficult for Guan Ping to defend their attack had it not been for the help of the people in the city.
Which Wu general would not want to pick the fruits of victory?
Not to mention the police department, which is the fruit that they dream about.
"General, I am willing to go!"
As a young man, Sun Huan reacted the fastest and was the first among the Wu generals present to stand up and take orders.
As soon as Sun Huan got up, the other Wu generals were not far behind, and they all started to get up.
But before the others could get up, Lu Xun reached out to stop them.
Lu Xun's stop made many Wu generals sigh with regret, but made Sun Huan even more excited.
When Sun Huan saw Lu Xun turning his eyes towards him, he quickly lowered his head and waited for Lu Xun's instructions.
Sure enough, Lu Xun's gentle inquiry came to Sun Huan's ears the next moment.
"Are you confident that you can take down the police for our army tonight?"
Facing Lu Xun's inquiry, Sun Huan did not dare to hesitate at all.
"Huan is willing to guarantee it with his life!
We will not retreat until we take down the police!"
The young man's answer was full of blood.
At present, Sun Huan seems to have completely thrown off the burden of "General Diaolou" and has returned to his high-spirited appearance of previous years.
Lu Xun remembered Sun Quan's advice to him, and Sun Huan's answer made him very satisfied, so he next said to Sun Huan:
"Then I will give this great merit to you."
After saying this, Lu Xun picked up an arrow from the bank in front of him and handed it to Sun Huan.
"Tonight you lead 20,000 tiger soldiers to attack the police. I am waiting for your good news in the tent."
After hearing what Lu Xun said, Sun Huan was so happy that he took the arrow.
After bowing to Lu Xun, he immediately walked out of the tent to recruit troops.
Sun Huan's leaving figure made many Wu generals feel envious.
But what many Wu generals didn't know was that something unexpected happened in their own camp at this moment.
...
Yu Fan did not attend today's parliament.
As he gained more and more trust from Lu Xun, he had been assigned an extremely important matter by Lu Xun.
This matter is to collect intelligence transmitted by Wu troops from various places.
In order to allow Yu Fan to complete this matter without distraction, Lu Xun had asked Yu Fan not to participate in any meetings. Lu Xun also thoughtfully prepared a separate tent for Yu Fan.
Yu Fan, who gained Lu Xun's trust, naturally wanted to help Lu Xun solve his problems.
Therefore, even though the news coming was too mixed due to the Wu army stationed everywhere, Yu Fan still meticulously collected and sifted all kinds of information for Lu Xun.
"Is there any military information sent to the state mausoleum?"
After sorting out the military information sent by Xu Sheng, Yu Fan felt that there was nothing unusual and asked his subordinates casually.
Upon hearing Yu Fan's question, the subordinates immediately stood up and replied:
"Nothing."
The official's answer made Yu Fan's face show a look of satisfaction.
The importance of Zhouling to the Wu army is self-evident.
Because of the importance of Zhouling, Yu Fan would ask about the military situation of Zhouling every day.
For Yu Fan, as long as Zhou Ling, who was the retreat, did not send military information, that would be the best news.
Yu Fan, relieved, walked out with the military information he had just compiled.
He was going to report to Lu Xun.
As soon as Yu Fan left the military tent, he saw a embarrassed Wu army in the distance running towards him in a hurry.
This scene did not make Yu Fan nervous.
Although Wu Jun has blocked all the main roads, Wu Jun only blocked it rather than pacified it.
In various places in Jingnan, there are still many small groups of Han troops constantly trying to break through the blockade.
Those Wu generals who were sent out often sent some "embarrassed" messengers when reporting military information in order not to have nothing to report in the future.
The little thoughts of those Wu generals could not be hidden from Yu Fan.
Yu Fan wanted to continue running towards Lu Xun's military tent, but before he could go far, the embarrassed Wu Jun ran around the military tent and shouted loudly:
"Zhou Ling, Zhou Ling..."
Because he was too tired from running, the Wu Jun didn't finish his sentence.
But just the word "zhouling" made Yu Fan stop suddenly.
Yu Fan stopped and without any hesitation, he turned around and approached the Wu Jun.
After arriving behind Wu Jun, Yu Fan grabbed Wu Jun's collar and asked urgently:
"Is it Zhouling?
What happened to Zhou Ling?"
The out-of-breath Wu Jun was so frightened that he suddenly started speaking sharply after seeing Yu Fan's dangerous expression.
"Zhou Ling, Zhou Ling is lost!"
After hearing this sentence, Yu Fan seemed to have heard a big joke.
He directly pushed the Wu Jun to the ground, and then roared:
"You fart!"
"General Pan is guarding Zhouling, with nearly 10,000 elite troops, and it is at the rear of our army. How could it be lost?"
"You are falsely conveying information, you are falsely conveying information!"
Yu Fan, who had always been extremely well-educated, was so frightened and angry that he cursed Wu Jun directly.
Wu Jun, who was accused by Yu Fan of falsely transmitting intelligence, was frightened out of his mind.
In the military, the crime of falsely transmitting intelligence will get him the death penalty.
In order to prevent himself from dying unjustly, Wu Jun quickly told everything he knew.
"General Pan is dead!
Everyone who is still alive has surrendered!
The Han army came from Zhouling Port!"
Three explanations in a row made Yu Fan's heart beat fast.
When ordinary people falsely convey military information and are threatened with capital punishment, it is difficult for them to continue to speak harshly.
Is what he said true?
But Yu Fan quickly reacted quickly.
“Zhouling Port?
It’s just nonsense. There are iron cables crossing the river outside Zhouling Port. How did the Han army land on the river?"
Yu Fan thought he had grasped the key point, but it was this key point that gave him the final critical blow.
"It's that person! That person is here!"
When the Wu Jun said this, his face became frightened, and his voice was filled with tears.
That person?
In the world, there is only one person who does not want to be mentioned by Wu Jun, so he will always be replaced by "that person".
