Chapter 64: Two Attacks on Le'an
Liu Shang and Mo Zhong rushed to Le'an with Jiuli sergeant to support, after entering the city, when they saw Yuji, they didn't expect him to be so seriously injured, listening to his description, Mo Zhong vaguely guessed that the middle-aged man who injured Yuji with his sword, he said slowly: "The person who came may be Peng Yiwei, Liu Yigang's fifth junior brother," Yuji also vaguely thought that there was such a person in Tianjian Villa, who rarely walked the rivers and lakes, and was dedicated to swordsmanship, it seems that this time he did encounter a hard stubble. After discussing with Mo Zhong, if the Jinfan Army came to attack the city again, then the two of them should be able to temporarily suppress Peng Yiwei. Yu Ji saw that the two of them were full of confidence, so he didn't speak, and after a while, he called Yu Wu, his identity is special, and he is still the elder of Emperor Wen Longyuan, he ordered Yu Wu to go back to Xuancheng immediately, inform Le'an of the predicament he is facing now, and let Zhang Jue have a plan as soon as possible. Pardon Wu promised and immediately set off for Xuancheng.
Not long after Yu Wu left, Yu Si came back, he told the three core elders everything that happened in the valley, Yu Ji faintly guessed that the person who came was Xiao Zhongtan, but he did not inform Liu Shang and Mo Zhong, but asked Yu Si to go back to the valley quickly, Jin Fan Jun learned that the puppet's hiding place, he must take action, to find another hidden place as soon as possible, and place Duan Fei and a group of puppets, Yu Si was a little afraid of Xiao Zhongqin and Peng Yiwei, but Yu Ji was very resolute, and told him the trick to guide Duan Fei, and at the same time slapped a spell on his back, Let him go now. Yu Si had no choice but to go out of the city again and rush to the valley.
Lin Pinghui discussed with a group of people, at present, the Jinfan army is less than 10,000, and it is a little difficult to attack the city, so you can find ways to lure out the defenders in Le'an City. If the Jinfan Army takes the initiative to exterminate the puppets, then it will definitely attract the defenders in the city to come to the rescue. Of course, this is also extremely dangerous, the puppet is strong, the Jinfan army is out of battle, and then encounters the defenders in the city, it is very likely that the enemy will be attacked on both sides, and the whole army will be wiped out if you are not careful. And Lin Pinghui's idea is to do the opposite, he is heavy troops to attack the city, and then send a team of sniper puppets, as long as Le'an is broken and enters the city, then the initiative is in his own hands, the attack and defense change, the puppets should not know how to use siege equipment, as long as they hold Le'an, wait for reinforcements, and cooperate with the outside, so that they can not only pacify Le'an, but also exterminate the puppet army.
The deputy generals of the Jinfan Army, Xiao Zhongqin, Peng Yiqi, Xu Chengsheng and others understood that this was an extremely dangerous move, and regardless of whether they could successfully capture Le'an, the team of sergeants sent to block the puppet army would be nine deaths. In this way, regardless of victory or defeat, the casualties will be very large, and once the Jinfan army tries its best to take Le'an, if there are not many soldiers left, it will be extremely difficult to hold on until reinforcements arrive.
Everyone was silent, Lin Pinghui understood this better than everyone else, but after the previous battle, although the Jinfan Army won a tragic victory, the shadow of the terrorist puppet has always been shrouded in the military camp, and the sergeants have been in a state of nervousness, always worried that the puppet will come to sneak attack again, and in the long run, he is afraid that the morale of the army will be low, and if he really waits for the puppet to attack, he will be defeated with a touch. Capture Le'an, let the sergeants garrison in the city, there are city wall fortifications, then you can also have a respite, hold on until reinforcements arrive.
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Lin Pinghui opened his mouth and asked, "Everyone, do you have any objections?" ”
No one expected that at this time, Peng Yiqi was the first to speak: "I'll stop the puppet." As soon as his voice fell, Xiao Zhongqin also spoke: "Let's go too." After speaking, he pulled Ling Hui. Ling Hui really wanted to escape from the camp directly at this time and go back to Qinggu, this master didn't want to die, he was different, but Xiao Zhongqin firmly buckled his arm.
The two volunteered to stop the puppets, and a deputy general of the Jinfan Army also said loudly: "Major General, I will lead a team of sergeants and a few gentlemen to stop the puppet army. Lin Pinghui looked at the deputy general, this deputy general is called Kong Sheng, over thirty years old, but he has followed Lin Zhenba for many years, he is extremely brave in battle, and he is the backbone of the Jinfan Army, and then at Peng Yiwei, Xiao Zhongqin and Ling Hui with a helpless face, he nodded silently and replied: "Then there are a few Lao, Lin thank you." After speaking, he arched his hand very solemnly.
Xu Chengsheng wanted to interject, but many scenes of puppets slashing and exploding appeared in his mind, so he was stunned in place and didn't dare to speak. Peng Yiwei didn't want Xu Chengsheng and the rest of the disciples to take risks, so he came over and whispered to Xu Chengsheng: "You protect Major General Lin, if the siege is unfavorable, take the Major General back to Jiujiang Port." Xu Chengsheng pinched the corner of his robe hard, nodded, and held back a sentence for a long time: "Fifth uncle, be careful." ”
After arranging the relevant matters, everyone went out of Lin Pinghui's main camp and went down to prepare. Su Chengling glanced at Ling Hui, who was dragged away by Xiao Zhongqin, and she was a little worried.
As soon as Ling Hui returned to the camp, he complained to Xiao Zhongqin: "Master, you said that the people of Sword Mountain Villa were going to provoke those puppets that day, what kind of fun are you making, and you still bring me, I will say okay first, I won't go." ”
When Xiao Zhongtan heard that this kid was playing a scoundrel, he slapped it with a palm, and Ling Hui hurriedly dodged to avoid the palm. Xiao Zhongqin said quite angrily: "You said that you kid is so unproductive, I really don't understand why I accepted you at that time, this time you have to go, if you don't go, you have to go, or I will directly abolish your martial arts here, so that you can go out and embarrass me in the future." Ling Hui saw that Xiao Zhongtan was really angry, so he had to reply: "Okay, okay, I'll go, you said that you are true, you didn't see Peng Yiyi, so you didn't let your disciples go, you have to pull me." ”
"I can't control how to arrange Tianjian Villa, but I can still clean it up with you kid, you can prepare for me." Xiao Zhongqin actually discovered just now that although most of the time Peng Yili rarely speaks, on the surface, Xu Chengsheng is taking care of everything as a big disciple, but when it comes to the critical moment, Peng Yiwei would rather take risks himself and protect these juniors. But he didn't think so, the disciples of the younger generation could not become great without some baptism, especially Ling Hui, this kid really needs to be polished. The two disciples of the Martial Sect, Feng Xunzhi has been traveling abroad for many years and aims to be a ranger, but this Ling Hui is just willing to hide in the Qinggu and do nothing all day. He brought Ling Hui out this time to hone his heart, he wanted to see if this kid was really so ambitious.
Dong Yun was also rushing to Le'an at the moment, he estimated that there was still half a day to arrive, found a vacant place, rested for a while, and hurried again.
In order to avoid the transfer and hiding of the puppet army, after a stick of incense, Kong Sheng and Peng Yiwei, Xiao Zhongqin, and Ling Hui gathered a team of Jinfan Army sergeants to prepare to set off to the valley valley, Kong Sheng stood at the front, silently pulled out the knife against Lin Pinghui, crossed in front of him, and then raised it high, at this time a simple ceremony before the bloody battle of the Jinfan Army, Lin Pinghui knew that Kong Sheng was fighting with a mortal heart, and he was quite emotional, he didn't dare to imagine how tragic this burst of resistance would be, but seeing Kong Sheng's momentum without hesitation, he immediately pulled out the big knife, Hold it high in response as a sign of response. The two were silent for a moment, and Kong Sheng withdrew the big knife and turned to set off. Peng Yiwei, Xiao Zhongqin and Ling Hui also set off. Su Chengling saw that Ling Hui was about to leave, and regardless of the eyes of others, she ran up to him and said, "Senior Brother Ling, you must be careful. Ling Hui was stunned, and then replied with a rather arrogant smile: "It's okay, what are you afraid of, it's just some puppet, you can't hurt me." Xiao Zhongtan heard it on the side, coughed twice, and said in his heart, you kid was still a little bold when he met the girl. Su Chengling turned to Peng Yiwei, stepped forward and said solemnly: "Fifth uncle, you have to be careful, you can't have an accident, we are waiting for you here, uncle is waiting for you in the villa." Peng Yiwei glanced at Su Chengling gently, nodded and replied, "Okay, let's go back." Xu Chengsheng and the others also chased after him at this time, and Peng Yiwei waved his hand, signaling that everyone did not have to worry. Lin Pinghui looked at the backs of the four of them and the group of Jinfan Army sergeants leaving, and didn't know how many people would be able to come back safely after the first battle.
After Kong Sheng set off with the sergeants, Lin Pinghui ordered the remaining Jinfan army to assemble, and according to Xu Chengsheng's previous suggestion, to prevent the fire attack by his friends, he specially assigned a team of sergeants to be responsible for the isolation zone of the fire. After making proper preparations, the Jinfan army left the camp and marched towards the north gate of Le'an.
The Jiuli army in Le'an City saw the Jinfan army coming, and hurriedly informed the disciples, who immediately gathered the soldiers to go to the north city gate, and had the lessons of the previous battle, he specially arranged people on both sides of the city wall, and prepared a large amount of fire oil at the same time.
Wen Zhu saw the Jiuli sergeants assembled in the city, she also rushed out, and asked Xiang Peng what was going on, and the friend patiently said to Wen Zhu: "You go back first, don't come out if it's okay." Wen Zhu responded on the surface, and after the friends left, he quietly came out, mixed with the sergeants, and also went up to the north gate wall.
Yu Ji was seriously injured and stayed in the room, he was afraid that his friends would lose, so he called his entourage to sneak out of the city and go to the valley, hurry up to chase Yu Si, and summon a puppet army to come to support. Liu Shang and Mo Zhong were eager to come to the city wall, ready to deal with the master in Peng Yiwei and Yu Sikou.
As soon as Lin Pinghui led the Jinfan Army to the north gate, he immediately ordered a formation and launched the siege giant tree. When everything was ready, Lin Pinghui ordered the siege of the city.
The front team of the sergeants of the Jinfan Army raised their round shields and quickly rushed forward, and the disciples immediately ordered to shoot crossbows, and the sergeants used their shields to resist, scattered one after another, and gathered again near the city gate. Lin Pinghui waved his broadsword, and another team of sergeants rushed out, followed by the siege giant tree, and slowly marched forward. When the disciples saw the siege equipment coming up, he directly ordered someone to push down the fire oil, and at the same time the crossbowmen lit their bows and arrows, ready to light a fire in front of the city gate.
The Jinfan Army was still pushing the giant tree and slowly marched towards the city gate, unlike the last time, on both sides of the giant tree, there were sergeants digging fire belts. Seeing that his heart was not good, the disciple asked the crossbowman to aim at the giant tree and shoot the crossbow. As soon as the crossbow was fired, a round shield was raised in front of the sergeant who was digging the fire barrier, blocking the crossbow one after another.
As the giant tree slowly moved forward, it gradually approached the city gate. At this time, the first team of sergeants who rushed up before threw flying tiger claws under the city wall, hooked some Jiuli sergeants, and pulled down the city wall. The two sides were anxious for a moment, and the giant tree finally slammed into the city gate.
