I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 527: The Liangzhou Army is arrogant and domineering, and Lord Su attacks the ferry at night

"This is a frontal breakthrough?!"

There was a hint of disbelief in Lu Zhi's words. This place was behind enemy lines, and Su Yao's proposal was undoubtedly dancing on the edge of a knife.

But to be honest, Lu Zhi actually understood Su Yao's urgency.

Indeed, once you get out of Hulao Prison, the sky will be wide open.

However, due to the geography of Luoyang, the capital of the Eight Passes, this place is a basin surrounded by mountains. It takes more than three or five days to go around Hulao and then to Yique.

You have to go out of Hulao and reach Xingyang, then go all the way south to pass Xuchang, and then cross Yingchuan before you can return to Yique.

But, without a doubt, this is the safest route.

Not to mention that a forced breakthrough would cause a fight to attract the attention of surrounding patrols. Once the defenders at the ferry become alert, they may drive away the ferry or simply burn it, and it would be useless for us to capture the ferry.

You will only end up falling into the misfortune of being surrounded by enemies.

"So the mission objective is very clear."

Su Yao chuckled:
"Let's launch a night attack. Before they can react, we must wipe out the ferry defenders, take this place, and secure enough ferries!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhi frowned, as he knew very well how risky this plan was.

Now on the north bank of the Luo River, staying a moment longer means a moment more risk.

However, when he looked at Su Yao, who was confident in his plan, and the determined soldiers he brought with him, he swallowed his words of objection.

"Since you have made up your mind, I am willing to lead my disciples to assist you."

Lu Zhi's tone was calm and he finally made up his mind.

Su Yao looked at Lu Zhi with gratitude. He knew how much the support of this old minister would boost morale.

"Mr. Lu is so kind, and I am grateful to you. Tonight, let us fight side by side and overcome the difficulties together!"

After saying that, Su Yao led everyone to hide on the spot.

The situation around Luoyang became increasingly tense, with merchants and travelers rushing around, and even the number of fully armed patrols increased significantly.

However, with the help of the small map, they were able to escape danger several times. Not only did they not get caught, Su Yao also took advantage of the patrol soldiers' lunch break and found a bow.

So, as both sides lurked and searched, time came to night.

Night falls.

At the ferry on the north bank of the Luo River, as the night deepens, the hustle and bustle of the day gradually calms down, with only the crackling sound of torches and the occasional chirping of insects breaking the tranquility of the night.

It is in this tranquility that a carefully planned night attack is about to take place.

"Zilong, Zijing, you two take your brothers and swim over there by water. When you see me confronting you head-on, immediately seize the pier and prioritize the safety of the ferry."

"Leader!"

"Here!"

After Zhao Yun and Qian Zhao clasped their fists in response, they immediately disappeared into the night with the dozen or so men.

That’s right, these people brought here were the pirates that Su Yao had recruited before. They were all proficient in water and were perfect for swimming and sneak attacks.

After arranging the task of seizing the ferry, Su Yao immediately turned his attention to Lu Zhi.

"Marquis Guanjun needs me to do something, but please speak frankly." Lu Zhi nodded.

Su Yao was no longer polite after hearing this and immediately said, "Mr. Lu, your mission is extremely important."

"I need you to lead the remaining disciples and soldiers to attack head-on with me to attract the attention of the ferry defenders and not let anyone escape."

"what?!"

"storm?"

"that's all???"

Before Lu Zhi spoke, his disciples were the first to exclaim.

These people didn't expect that the plan of this famous champion marquis would be so simple.

"Simple is best, what do you think, Mr. Lu?" Su Yao asked with a smile.

Lu Zhi shook his head helplessly.

Although he knew Su Yao's ability, he still had to consider whether his students could accept it. After all, his men were not soldiers who followed orders, but scholars with their own ideas.

If they cannot understand, the mission cannot proceed smoothly.

Therefore, he could only hold out his hand to ask everyone to calm down, while explaining for Su Yao:
"Champion Marquis's plan may seem simple, but it is actually well thought out."

Lu Zhi said slowly:

"A frontal assault is not a blind act, but a key part of the entire plan."

"Our goal is to quickly and quietly seize control of the ferry, ensure the safety of the ferry, and cross the river as quickly as possible."

"Every minute of delay increases the risk of failure, so we must act quickly."

"And the champion marquis in front of you has won every battle since his debut. His bravery is unparalleled and is beyond the reach of ordinary people."

"You just need to provide support from the side later, guard the key roads and prevent the enemy soldiers from escaping."

"And the Champion Marquis will kill the general and seize the flag, causing confusion for the enemy, thus creating a good opportunity for you to win."

"And I will personally lead you to fight together."

"As long as we work together and do our job well, victory will surely belong to us!"

The teacher said so. Although the students still had doubts, they did not have time to think too much. So they looked at each other and made up their minds:
"We are willing to fight to the death with our teacher and Champion Hou!"

"Okay, let's get started!"

Following Su Yao's order, everyone acted quickly. They dispersed and headed for the designated locations.

At the ferry on the north bank of the Luo River, the night was as dark as ink, with only the faint light of torches swaying in the darkness.

On the front battlefield, Lu Zhi led his students and soldiers to slowly advance forward. They remained highly alert and kept an eye on the surrounding situation.

As the distance got closer, this key ferry crossing became clearer and clearer under the light of the torches.

At the ferry, the defenders were either standing or sitting around several bonfires, warming themselves, chatting and laughing. These men from Liangzhou were completely unaware of the crisis lurking in the night.

Even Li Wei, a local garrison commander, took advantage of the night to have a drink.

"Haha, brothers, Zhongyuan is still the best after all."

Li Wei took the bowl and drank from it in big gulps.

"I have been fighting the Qiang people in the frontier all my life. I never thought that I could follow Master Dong to this glamorous world in the Central Plains and enjoy life."

"The people of the Central Plains are such cowards. Not to mention compared to the warriors of our border areas, they are even worse than sheep."

"Those so-called businessmen and scholars are like mice seeing a cat when they see us. They have to do whatever we tell them to do."

"The money I received today is more than what I received in the past year. It's so damn satisfying!"

"General Bai is right!"

His trusted subordinate smiled and said happily:
"Today I even captured a young girl from the Central Plains to warm the bed of the generals."

"Oh? Really? You are sensible. Bring it up here and let me take a look."

When Li Wei heard this, a lewd light flashed in his eyes and a smug smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The confidant immediately responded and left. After a while, he came to Li Wei with a disheveled girl with tear-stained face.

The girl looked no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, her eyes full of fear and helplessness.

"Haha, not bad, not bad!"

Li Wei looked the girl up and down:

"This little face and this little figure are just to my liking, just to my liking!"

As he said this, he reached out to touch the girl's face.

The girl stepped back in fear, but was held down by the soldiers behind her and could not move.

His claws moved all the way down. The girl closed her legs tightly and closed her eyes in despair.

At this time:
"The General is in a good mood."

In the shadows, the sudden voice made Li Wei frown.
