C320 (1/2)
It had been built to stop the Hu invaders from invading, and the walls were thick and solid. There were barracks, horse galleries, storehouses filled with grain, and even cabins for treating wounded soldiers. As long as the guard commander was not an idiot, as long as three thousand elite soldiers, he could separate the huge army of one hundred thousand outside of Luolongse for one year. It could be said that he had taken all the time in the world, and was the natural moat to the north of West Liaoning.
So the general that was guarding Luolongse was the long history's Zhang Wen, and it was Zhang Chun who had originally recommended him to be an official there. When Zhang Chun was preparing for the rebellion, he had sent people to contact Zhang Wen, who was stationed in the Luolongse.
In order to ensure that his lifeline would be unobstructed, Qiu Liju had specially ordered his trusted subordinates to bring over five thousand soldiers to guard Luolongse. Under normal circumstances, with the help of swords, spears, bows and arrows, and other cold weapons, it would be hard to imagine taking down Luolongse.
Just as Zhao Yun led his men into the flat land, his forward exorcism discovered the Scouting horse. Zhao Yun immediately ordered the team to stop and hide in the nearby forest, ordering everyone to rest on the spot. He did not want to expose his target prematurely. If the Luolongse's Hei Fu was prepared, a sneak attack would become a forced attack.
Until the sky turned completely dark, only then did exorcism who was in charge of surveillance come over to report. All of the Urushion's Scouting horse s had already retreated. Zhao Yun then heaved a sigh of relief and ordered his horse to tie the horses' hooves with linen, before leading his group out of the forest. They headed towards Luolongse in the dark.
When they were still more than five kilometers away from the Luolongse, Zhao Yun ordered everyone to dismount and gather their war horses together with a squadron. The other nine squadrons and the Special Forces Teams all walked towards the Luolongse at a fast speed.
When they were about five miles from Luolongse, the forest suddenly disappeared. It turned out that the Luolongse's defending army, in order to not give the enemy a chance to ambush them, had cut down all the trees within five miles of the surrounding Lu Long Stronghold, leaving only the bare mountain ridge. If it was daytime, one could clearly see everything within five miles of the stronghold while standing on the stronghold wall.
However, this was the darkest moment before dawn. One could not even see the shadow of a person from ten feet away. Zhao Yun looked at the wall in the distance, but he could not see or hear anything. The wall was extremely quiet, and he was unable to determine if there were any sentries on the wall or not.
”Peng Tuo, Huang Shao, the two brothers. With so many of us closing in on the Luolongse, we will definitely alarm the garrison on the Luolongse. Therefore, I have decided to bring a Company of warriors and Special Forces Teams to ambush the city walls. Zhao Yun looked at Peng Tuo and Huang Shao, and said softly.
”Master Zhao Yun, you are the main general, how can you take the risk yourself? Let me go. ” Peng Tuo immediately raised his hand, wanting to stop Zhao Yun.
”Stop fighting, there are battles going on. This Luolongse has three walls, and only the first one is occupied. There is still a vicious battle ahead!” Zhao Yun waved his hands, and then shouted to the frontmost group of soldiers: ”First Company, Special Forces Teams, follow me!”
It was a moonless night. It was pitch black, and he could not see anything. The distant mountains, the nearby cities, the forests, the hills, all seemed to be obscured by the darkness. In the entire Luolongse, other than the guards on the city walls, everyone else was asleep. No one would have thought that a huge battle was imminent.
”Walk slowly!” Zhao Yun waved his hand, and softly transmitted an order behind him. All of the soldiers followed Zhao Yun, with steel shield in their left hand and ladder in their right. They walked slowly towards the city wall with light footsteps.
When they were still more than five hundred meters away from the city wall, Zhao Yun raised his hand. The soldiers behind him slowed down and stood behind him. Zhao Yun looked at the wall. Although there was no moon and his surroundings were pitch black, Zhao Yun could still vaguely see that on the north wall of Luolongse, there were a few Wu Huan soldiers on guard. They were leaning against the wall, probably sleeping, and did not move for a long time.
”Brothers, everyone quietly approached the city wall. Do not alert sentry Wu Huan, and then directly attack. Success or failure will be decided in one blow. No matter what kind of situation we encounter, we cannot retreat a single step. If we cannot take down the city wall before dawn, none of us can leave the Luolongse alive! ” Zhao Yun gathered all the teams and gave the order to attack with a stern expression.
”Let's go!” Zhao Yun suddenly waved his hand, and over a thousand soldiers flew towards the city walls. All the soldiers did not even dare to breathe loudly. Like a group of thieves, they slowly approached the city wall while crouching down. The special forces soldiers followed behind and quietly approached the South of the City door. When he could see the wall clearly, he was only a few dozen steps away.
”Hurry up!”
With Zhao Yun's order, the soldiers placed more than a hundred of the Cloud Stairs onto the city walls. Zhao Yun waved his hand and was the first one to climb the ladder. The soldiers took out their long knife s, prodded them with their blades and followed closely behind them as they climbed up.
”Ao Yi...”
Just as Zhao Yun was about to jump onto the city wall, the sentry Wu Huan on the city wall suddenly woke up. When they opened their eyes, Korean Army Soldiers was already in front of them. Sentinel Wu Huan immediately shouted in fear. His ear-piercing shout immediately broke the tranquility above Luolongse.
”Pfft!”
Zhao Yun scurried forward a few steps, the long knife in his hand chopped down at lightning speed, and the heads of the few guards who were shouting immediately flew up. At this time, the other Korean Army Soldiers s also jumped onto the city wall, waving their long knife s and pounced towards the sentry Wu Huan. Not long later, the Urushion was no longer on the city wall.
