Chapter 829 Attack on Li Yangcang
Liyangcang is located on the northern foot of the Dali Mountains, bordering the Yongji Canal to the west and the Yellow River to the east, and the water transportation is extremely convenient.
During the Sui Dynasty, all the rented rice exploited from Hebei were first concentrated here, and then transported from the Yongji Canal or the Yellow River to Luoyang and Chang'an.
When Emperor Yang of Sui used troops to Liaodong, the military rations transported from the Jianghuai River were first stored here and then transported to the northeast. They were the only important granary in the north of the Yellow River and played an important role.
Dahua has been targeting Liyangcang for a long time, and has long transported troops across the Yellow River, scattered and hidden.
North of the Yellow River, many Xia army's veiled had long been cleared out, and many elite troops in Dahua were transported there, and the Xia army had not received any information feedback.
On this day, Xu Shiji, Pei Xingyan and Ning Wufei three generals crossed the river upstream, led their troops to approach Dali Mountain, and ambushed in the forest.
As night fell, Ning Wufei commanded the special forces to approach the outer city of Liyangcang.
"Prepare, start the action!" Zhao Qiong, the captain of the Special Forces Regiment who was responsible for the night attack, issued an order.
"Here--"
After dozens of secret guards approached the city, they used their gecko climbing skills without any ladders, and used daggers and other tools little by little to climb to the top of the city in the darkness, directly assassinated the nearby guards, and then put down the ropes.
Since there are 10,000 heavy troops stationed here and located in Hebei, there has been no war for a long time, the defense is not rigorous.
The guards were wandering around and dozing. Anyway, they were safe here and no one came to attack, so they were quite relaxed, but they didn't know that they were about to die.
This is Liyang Cang City. Because the city has heavy grain and grass, foreign countries are raised and thickened. The main wall is more than four meters high. There is also a swing wall on the swing wall. The swing wall is built with bricks and bushes. The bushes between the bushes are the lookout holes and shooting outlets for guarding soldiers. There are corner towers and bushes at the front entrance of the city wall, which stand at a distance.
These high and low buildings built a three-dimensional defense line on the city wall, but since ancient city walls were all guarding the outside but not the inside, there were not many levels or difficulties from the inside.
The secret guards are composed of killers of the Qingying Guard. Dozens of people scatter, smear and sneak past, and secretly cut the guard's throat.
After a moment, the secret guards climbed up to the city and threw down the ropes. The special forces under the city began to climb the city, and then scattered the surrounding patrols and posts.
After a short moment, more and more special forces were climbing into the city and rushing towards the city gate.
"kill!"
A few special forces rushed over, and the crossbow was short in the dark. Many guards were shot in a hurry and fell into a pool of blood. The figures of the special forces rushed out like ghosts, without giving the guard any chance to resist. They flashed in front of the guard at the door, and the sharp blade slashed out, and the heads were rolling, and the blood was scattered.
"No, there is an assassin-" The guards at the top of the city found something under the stone steps in the city and shouted loudly.
It was almost time for the time being that more than 200 elite soldiers roared to the city gate and slaughtered. Compared with these special forces, the Xia army guards were simply a witch. These special forces were facing enemies dozens of times their own. None of them was timid, but their eyes were full of pride. They seemed to see prey, and they rushed to kill them one after another. Wherever the blade passed, they were dressed and broken armor, and fell to the ground.
The special soldiers in the city killed the city gate guards with thunder. In the blood-stricken battle, they lowered the suspension bridge and opened the city gate.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
A thousand special forces soldiers lurking at the door waved their long swords and rushed into the city gate like a flood that broke through the dam. The excited and tragic horn made the earth tremble in an instant.
The Xia army guarded the army fought fiercely with the special forces, and the sound of killing rose up and blood splashed. Although the number of special forces was small, they were all agile, fierce and tricky. The simple moves burst out with powerful lethality, suppressing the Xia army's counterattack.
Xu Shiji outside the city shouted: "The cavalry attacked the streets and destroyed their defense lines and formations. The other soldiers destroyed the Xia army's camps, arsenals, grain warehouses, etc. according to the operation team. Within an hour, they cleared out all the Xia army in the city!"
"Here--"
A thousand cavalry followed and rushed into the city gate, holding up sharp long-handled swords, and thousands of large horses ran and roared at the same time, roaring like thunder, like a rushing torrent, rushing in frantically as the main force of attacking the enemy. The Xia army, which was rushing to counterattack, was scattered by the cavalry and rushed directly into the streets and alleys in the city. The sound of swords in the city suddenly sounded loud and blood was soaring into the sky.
After entering the city, the other lurking members scattered in their own groups. After a while, explosions spread everywhere in the city. Some important military camps, stables, food and armor, and ordnance rooms were all blown up. The city was in chaos. The Xia army had never seen such a situation. Fires surged into the sky, and the explosions continued. They panicked, their fighting spirit disappeared, and they began to lose the city and fled.
In less than two hours, Liyangcang City was occupied by 5,000 elite troops of the Dahua Army.
Xu Shiji brought his troops to the city and ordered the battlefield to be cleared, the city gates were closed, and then the defense was carried out.
Seizing the city is only the first step. Using this as bait, to lure Dou Jiande from Xingyang and send troops to seize the Liyang Cang, he would be trapped in the plan of diversion of the tiger from the mountain. On the way, he ambushed the Xia army, divided it and annihilated it, and eliminated its living power.
When the sky was slightly bright, the entire Liyang Cang was effectively controlled by the Dahua army. There were more than 2,000 Xia army prisoners in the city. Xu Shiji did not order a massacre, but was imprisoned as a whole and kept for future use.
"Send someone to Hou Junji, General Qin Qiong will send the news. Everything is ready. Just wait for the Xia army to mobilize and come to rescue." Xu Shiji sent a scout to convey the information. I believe that soon, Dou Jiande will make a big move after he learned the news.
