Chapter 1103
The consultation between the three division commanders was actually nothing new. According to the information obtained by the personnel from the military intelligence bureau, since almost the two fronts of Jincheng and Lujiang began to act, Situ Biao immediately attracted all the attention of Situ Biao. Given that Huanggang had heavy troops stationed, Baling seemed much weaker, Situ Biao had rushed from Anqing to Baling, preparing to take charge of Baling to arrange Baling's defense, and transferred the only independent division in Yueyang to Baling. The entire Yueyang Prefecture was actually a completely empty city. Except for a security division directly belonging to the county magistrate's office, there was no regular army with one soldier.
Faced with such a blank city, the three division commanders almost unanimously decided to capture Maotian Town first, and then do not stay and attack Yueyang Prefecture City. As long as Yueyang Prefecture City is captured, Baling can be attacked in the south, Huanggang's rear road can be snatched from the north, and Anqing can be dangerous in the east, and the entire Wuhu area will be cut off by this knife. Perhaps the only trouble is that Yueyang Prefecture City has a very complete defense system. Although there is only one security division, this security division has been controlled after Situ Biao took over the power of Wuhu. If Yueyang cannot be solved with lightning speed, although the entire Five Lakes Battle will eventually end with the victory of Western Xinjiang, it does not seem that perfect. After all, if you want to conquer Yueyang Prefecture City with a high and thick city wall, there is no enough navy to support it, this battle will definitely cost you, even if the enemy is just a security division.
When a red sun gushed out from the shore of Dongting Lake, Yueyang, the capital of the Five Lakes and One County, ushered in another busy day. Although the war in Jiujiang in the entire northeast was in full swing, the two armies of King Xiang had approached Jiujiang Prefecture. The Cheng Dayou army, who was ignorant of life and death, could only end up surrendering. Now it was just the last dying struggle. It was heard from the west that the Western Army was ready to move in Jincheng and Lujiang. However, Huanggang had heavy troops stationed, and Baling, His Highness Xiang had already visited the inspection in person.
, I am afraid that even Situ Biao himself will have a head-on conflict with His Highness Xiang over the Battle of Jiujiang, and even Situ Biao himself cannot explain it clearly. There are even more rumors among the people. Some say that His Highness Xiang has already negotiated with His Highness Qin, while others say that His Highness Qin is now in a quarrel with His Highness Yan, and now there is no time to worry about the Five Lakes. There are also rumors that Xijiang is making final preparations and will invade the Five Lakes in full from Baling, all kinds of things, but one thing is certain, that is, everything outside has nothing to do with Yueyang's safety for the time being.
However, since the only regular army of the division was transferred from Yueyang Prefecture City, the task of the security division suddenly became much heavier. In addition to guarding important places in the city, they also accepted the work of regular army defending the city defense in the past. This was a troublesome responsibility for the idle security forces. Fortunately, they were still far from the source of danger. Jiujiang Army in the east had been beaten to vent and not intake. In the western border, across Wushan, they could either come from Baling or Huanggang. There was no danger yet. No blind bandits would suddenly turn over the huge Yueyang Prefecture City. The city defense was just a gesture.
The sentry leaning lazily on the city wall retracted his neck impatiently, and the sun became more and more poisonous. Although July had passed, the sun in August was even more powerful than in July. The bricks and stones on the city wall were burning. If people were not careful, the skin of the hot stone bricks would be red. It was his turn to watch. It was so fucking bad luck. The sentry's mind had already slipped into the barracks under the city gate. The brothers were all staying in the shade of the barracks. There were many ways to find fun. The sentry seemed to be able to hear the shouts and bettings coming from the barracks.
I glanced at the opposite side, why did this guy Xiao Jia disappear? This little bastard disappeared in a blink of an eye. He learned to be lazy for a few days than anyone else. Now he must have slipped back to take a cool breeze again. But how could this spear be thrown on the ground? The above checked the whistle and saw that this was not a trivial matter. He walked over with cursing. The sentry shouted at the top and cursed the damn ghost weather.
What he didn't know was that it was not only Xiao Jia and more than ten sentries from the West City Gate Tower, and the observation posts near the door hole under the city gate tower were already lying quietly. Several crossbow strings sounded, either covering their throats, pressing their chests, or covering their heads. The three sentries on the observation posts fell silently even what was going on. The strong smear of the poison made by the mixture of anesthetics and venom on the crossbow arrow made this crossbow arrow have the effect of at least being unable to make a sound or even death. The sniper teams of the three divisions had quietly touched the city tower at this time, and the intelligence department provided them with strong intelligence support and various clothing. Yueyang Mansion City, which did not have much vigilance, could not stop the infiltration of the sniper team. All this seemed normal.
When the sentry muttered and took the last step, the figure flashed beside the stoop, and a crystal light swept through his throat. The splashing red color seemed particularly dazzling in the sun. He glanced at the body that was curled up with his neck and curled up in a ball. The man dressed in a thin body, dressed in a soldier, and the man dressed in a soldier in the city coldly withdrew his gaze, and the blade pressed against his elbow hidden in the skin sheath. Then as his body swayed, he flashed to the battlement of the city wall. The bronze mirror in his hand swayed continuously to the distance under the city wall, and everything was completed in just a few breaths.
At the same time, the operation to solve the sentry in front of the military camp not far from the city gate ended almost at the same time. Two crossbows flew out from the mouths of the snipers buried in the bushes on both sides and quietly slipped into the throats of the two sentries. Even before they could open the two sentries, they had lost the opportunity to open their eyes forever. A series of actions followed, and they quickly laid out along the dozens of sniper points at the military camp gate. In addition to dozens of crossbows and a large number of crossbow arrows transported to their positions, dozens of snipers holding strong bows also lined up along the city walls, with the focus directly pointing to the military camp gate. The snipers pretending to be sentries had already lined up all the idle horse-rejected bars and chain rolling cages around the camp gate. In order to ensure that the camp gate only had an exit passage less than two wide to allow people to enter and exit, so as to prevent flaws from being seen.
The blockade of the camp gate is the most critical place. Although there are only some guard troops in the military camp, nearly one corps of soldiers are stationed in it. Although a brigade has drawn stations in the center of the city, there are still nearly 4,000 troops deployed here. The ants have killed the elephant. The three divisions have less than 500 sniper teams. Once these guys find that the situation is wrong, they will definitely rush out like crazy. The sniper team must block the main gate, and at the same time, they must also take into account the city gate that must be firmly controlled in their own hands. Let the main troops who come by boat in the later stage enter Yueyang Prefecture City.
It should be said that the intelligence department's infiltration ability in Yueyang is indeed quite outstanding, which may be related to the strong support of the county magistrate. In short, from Maotian Town to Yueyang Prefecture City, 30 medium-sized black-sailed ships carried 3,000 soldiers from the First Division quietly headed east along the Taohua River, and quietly landed ashore at the shore of Dongting Lake. Going forward further is the patrol area of the Dongting Lake Water Army. Although the main force has been drawn to the north, even the part of the naval army stationed is enough to send these 30 black-sailed ships into the Water Dragon Palace, and they have to do it with caution.
There are still ten miles from the landing place to Yueyang Prefecture City Gate. The soldiers of the First Regiment of the First Division in this ten miles must be rushing within half an hour, otherwise the power of the sniper team can only ensure that the city gate can be controlled within half an hour. After this period of time, no one can predict what the situation in the city will develop.
The whole process is like a precision-operated machine, with no error. From entering the city gate to capturing Maotian Town there, these two operations began to load ships and transport troops. Almost all these two actions began at the same time. When the First Regiment of the First Division landed on the shore and ran towards the West Gate of Yueyang, the sniper team here had already completed control of the West Gate and firmly blocked the military camp gate stationed next to the West Gate. In half an hour, that is, within half an hour, the first regiment of the First Division must arrive at the West Gate and launch an attack on the security forces in Yueyang City, completely defeating the security forces, and then their old superior Chang Gui came forward to urge and control the situation in Yueyang City.
Everything was as perfect as originally designed. When the soldiers of the military camp discovered that the camp gate was blocked by their own horse-rejecting railings and chain rolling cages, they quickly realized that something was wrong. However, as soon as they approached the camp gate, they were shot to death by crossbow arrows from unknown places. But they finally realized the purpose of the enemy, and they almost rushed towards the camp gate like bees blowing the camp gate. At this time, the crossbows that had been arranged had fully played their role. These crossbows blocked the camp gate from all angles. The security forces, who lacked training and determination to fight to the death, still failed to break through the camp gate after several charges. Hundreds of dead bodies abandoned at the camp gate were scared to death.
