Chapter Eighty-Nine: Stubborn Resistance
Chen Fan didn't accuse Dong Yun, he must have seen someone he knew well, so he would have just seen the scene. Dong Yun immediately calmed down, and he walked quickly to the location of the hexagram. The master and apprentice started the hexagram at the same time, and the puppet army was stopped in front of the city gate by the strong strength of the three hexagrams. On the city wall, there are constantly bows and arrows, which makes it difficult for the equipment of the Lincheng army to rely on for a while. Pang Tuo walked quickly to Yu Si's side and asked Yu Si: "These people are a little tricky, what should I do?" ”
Yu Si didn't answer, angrily urging the puppets to rush forward and crash into it, Pang Tuo saw this, he could only let the Lincheng army pause, wait until the puppets broke through this strange gate formation, and then step forward to attack the city.
The Gen hexagram on Sun Lin's side also shattered after holding on for a while, and he hurried to the Zhen hexagram, waiting for the three trigrams of the Redemption Hexagram, the Zhen Hexagram, and the Dry Hexagram to be broken one by one. Chen Fan, Dong Yun, and Sun Lin retreated again, and when they saw the puppets that kept coming up, the three of them stood in the positions of Kun hexagram, Xun hexagram, and departure hexagram, which belonged to earth, wood, and fire. Sun Lin took the lead in urging out the Kun hexagram, and the Kun hexagram took the lead in pouring out a strong earth attribute energy, stopping the puppets one by one, and then Dong Yun slapped it with a palm, and a separation hexagram appeared, fire gave birth to earth, and with the blessing of the fire attribute energy in the separation hexagram, the Kun hexagram suddenly became stronger by several points. After Chen Fan waited for the two hexagrams to calm down, he slapped it with one palm, and a dark blue Xun hexagram suddenly rose, Xun hexagram brought out the wood attribute energy, wood makes fire, fire gives birth to earth, and as the separation hexagram is strengthened, a large amount of earth attribute energy bursts out in the Kun hexagram, and the puppets in the front row are knocked to the ground in an instant.
Le Xianyu saw that the three of them knocked down the puppets in the front row at once, and he hurriedly ordered the sergeants to also step up their shooting of bows and crossbows, and a rain of arrows fell, and the puppets were full of bows and crossbows, but they were still moving forward slowly.
Chen Fan gritted his teeth and persevered, Yu Si saw that the puppet was blocked, his whole person suddenly floated into the air, and after a few muffled sounds, the puppets suddenly went crazy. The frantic puppet kept hitting the kun hexagram, and Sun Lin struggled even more, and his other palm immediately slapped on the ground, and the kun hexagram trembled and barely stabilized. Dong Yun raised his eyes and saw that Lin Shen and Liang Kun were in front of the puppet, and there were also many arrows on their bodies, which couldn't help but be sentimental, but in order to stop the puppet, he violently increased the force in his hand to help Sun Lin's kun hexagram block the front. Chen Fan saw that the puppet's power increased after it went crazy, and he quickly turned around and shouted to the sergeants on the city wall: "Use fire." ”
Le Xianyu and the sergeant on the city wall heard Chen Fan's words at the same time, and before Le Xianyu could give the order, the crossbowmen hurriedly put the muskets on the arrows, and immediately shot at the puppets under the city after they were ignited. The puppets were hit by bows and arrows, and their bodies immediately caught fire, but they still moved forward numbly, without a moment's pause. Le Xianyu felt that these small fires alone would not have much effect, so he asked the sergeants to move out the oil barrels.
The puppet collided again and again, Kun Gua couldn't resist it, and finally broke, Chen Fan and the three of them could only retreat for a while, and they had come to the city wall. When Le Xianyu saw the three of them retreating, he asked the sergeants to drop the ropes and prepare to pull the three up.
Chen Fan let Dong Yun and Sun Lin go first, and he went to urge Qimenhui to make a final offensive. The two refused to go first, Chen Fan pushed them under the rope with a backhand, and he moved extremely fast, rushing directly to the position of the middle palace that had been occupied by the puppet.
Pang Tuo saw Chen Fan running towards the puppet quickly from a distance, he immediately guessed that the other party still had a back move in this formation, and quickly stretched out his hand and pointed at Chen Fan, and shouted to Yu Si loudly: "Stop that person." ”
Chen Fan sacrificed four hexagrams around his body, his energy was scattered, and his palms were waved out frequently, knocking down a group of puppets, just when he was about to arrive at the position of the middle palace, Yu Si suddenly pinched with one hand, and a puppet beside Chen Fan immediately exploded, and black blood splattered out in all directions. Chen Fan couldn't dodge at this moment, and a shock suddenly appeared in front of him, mixed with thunder and lightning, barely blocking the black blood that splashed over. Seeing this, Dong Yun and Sun Lin immediately ran over and quickly shot out, helping Chen Fan knock down the surrounding puppets.
Chen Fan saw the two of them coming, and complained a little, but he didn't allow much thought, and attacked the puppet together, and he had come to the position of the middle palace. Yu Si was furious, urging a large number of puppets to surround him, Sun Lin and Dong Yun hurriedly greeted them, and the two of them sacrificed the shock hexagram at the same time, and the four shock hexagrams together temporarily trapped a row of puppets who stepped forward. Chen Fan quickly raised his hand, slapped the ground with both palms, and the surrounding gossip appeared at the same time. Chen Fan waited for a moment, pinched the magic formula in his hand, and as soon as he closed his hands, the eight hexagrams immediately moved, constantly moving in the direction of Sun Lin and Dong Yun. When Sun Lin and Dong Yun saw the gossip coming, they withdrew their palms and retreated to Chen Fan's side. Chen Fan said in a sullen voice: "Go." ”
The gossip came out together, and the puppet army was stopped layer by layer, and each hexagram was induced by each other, and the Xuanguang was prosperous, and a group of puppets kept falling to the ground and trampling in front of the hexagram.
Dong Yun saw that Lin Shen and Liang Kun also fell in front of the hexagram, and the puppets behind him kept coming up, trampling the two under their feet, and his heart was sour again.
After the hexagram stopped the puppet, the three of them quickly retreated to the city wall, grabbed the rope dropped by Le Xianyu, and hurriedly climbed the city wall.
Pang Tuo saw it clearly, he didn't want to let the three of them escape, so he took a spear in his hand, condensed his strength, and threw it hard. The spear flew straight to Sun Lin.
Le Xianyu, who was on the west city wall, saw it clearly, and hurriedly shouted to the three people below: "Be careful." ”
Dong Yun and Chen Fan were already halfway there, and when they heard the sound, they saw that the spear flew and was about to stab Sun Lin. Sun Lin had no way to hide, so he could only let go of the rope and landed again. Pang Tuo's spear stabbed firmly into the city wall, Sun Lin glanced at it, and was about to grab the rope again and step forward. But then a burst of bows and crossbows flew over, and Sun Lin hurriedly dodged. Le Xianyu asked the sergeants to drop a few more ropes, while Dong Yun shouted to Sun Lin, "Come up." ”
The Lincheng army commanded by Pang Tuo kept shooting bows and crossbows at the side of the city wall, and Sun Lin couldn't get close to the rope for a while. Dong Yun and Chen Fanli quickly climbed the city wall in order to avoid the bow and crossbow.
The puppet was blocked, and Yu Si frantically urged the puppets to hit the hexagram, and the hexagram trembled slightly, but it still stood tall. Yu Siyi was ruthless, and once again burst the puppets in the front row, and after the flesh and blood flew sideways, half of the gossip hexagram was knocked down. Seeing this tragic situation, the Lincheng army was frightened in their hearts, and was stunned for a while, taking advantage of this gap, Sun Lin walked over quickly, grabbed the rope, and climbed to the city wall. Pang Tuo saw the Lincheng army pause, and shouted loudly: "Go on, what are you stunned about." ”
The bow and crossbow attacked Sun Lin again, Sun Lin hung in the air of the city wall, couldn't dodge, and was hit by an arrow in his back, he gritted his teeth and insisted, did not let go, and still climbed up. Dong Yun and Chen Fan saw that Sun Lin was injured, so the two grabbed the rope and jumped down, resisting the bow and crossbow on one side, and holding Sun Lin on the other, and at the same time exerting force, and finally jumped onto the city wall.
After Le Xianyu saw that the three of them had come up, he hurried over and asked Chen Fan: "Sir, I was offended before, what should I do at this moment." ”
Chen Fan looked back at the puppet, only to see that the hexagram was knocked down again, and then looked around the city wall, saw the oil barrel, and replied a little breathlessly: "Prepare the oil oil, drop it when the puppet approaches, light the fire, it should be able to stop it." ”
Dong Yun was on the side, and anxiously asked Xiang Le Xianyu: "There is a military doctor, my junior brother is injured, hurry up to help treat it." ”
Le Xianyu listened to Chen Fanli and Dong Yun's words, and while instructing the sergeants to prepare torches and push out the oil barrels, he called two sergeants and helped Sun Lin down to find a military doctor to treat his injuries. Sun Lin's back hurt and the arrow wound was quite deep, and Dong Yun also followed.
The puppets kept attacking, and the last two hexagrams lasted for a long time and fell, Yu Si's heart was relieved, urging the puppets to swarm up and rush to the city gate. Pang Tuo urged the Lincheng army to push the equipment and slowly stepped forward. Le Xianyu and Chen Fan stared closely at the enemy, and when the puppets and rebels approached the city wall, Le Xianyu gave an order, and the sergeants pushed down the oil barrels one after another, and the oil barrels fell to the ground, and the ground in front of the city wall was soon filled with a large amount of fire oil. When Yu Si and Pang Tuo saw it, they desperately asked the puppets and rebels to retreat quickly. Le Xianyu would not let go of such an opportunity, he immediately let the soldiers shoot fire crossbows, the fire crossbow touched the fire oil, and the ground instantly burst into flames, and many puppets and siege equipment in front of them were immediately engulfed in flames. The Lincheng army dropped their weapons and desperately fled, but the puppet was covered in flames, slowly knelt on the ground, and after burning for a while, he fell to the ground. Yu Si and Pang Tuo looked at the city wall angrily, and Pang Tuo said to Yu Si: "Withdraw first." Yu Si didn't speak, turned around and left, and the puppets retreated one by one as Yu Si turned around, and after walking slowly for a while, they disappeared into the darkness. Pang Tuo led the Lincheng army and slowly retreated. For a time, only the broken instruments and puppet corpses that had been caught in the fire were left in front of the city walls.
Seeing that this fire forced the puppets and rebels back, Le Xianyu was quite excited, Chen Fan was still calm, he knew that although the puppets were stopped in this formation, there would be a more brutal battle to defend the city in the next few days.
The fire broke out suddenly, and there was chaos in Xuancheng, and when they learned that there were puppets besieging the city, the people hurriedly packed their luggage and prepared to leave immediately. The three thousand Cefu sergeants outside the city have arrived at the east gate at this moment, Ye Zheng heard that the defenders of Xuancheng and the puppets have just fought a battle, and they relied on the fire to barely resist the puppet's siege, he asked the cereges of the Cefu to rest in the city first, and he took Mo Buyu, Mo Liu and Bai Zan to quickly find the Xuancheng prefect Le Xianyu.
Le Xianyu and Chen Fan had returned to the mansion, and Dong Yun helped Sun Lin to rest after being bandaged. Knowing that Cefu Ye Zheng was coming, Le Xianyu hurriedly greeted him. A group of people gathered in the hall of the mansion, Mo Buyu and Mo Liu saw that Sun Lin and Dong Yun were also there, and the four of them reunited, and they were quite happy to see that everyone was well. Ye Zheng saw Dong Yun, it was also a reunion of old friends, the two had known each other for many years, but they didn't expect to meet in this Xuancheng, Dong Yun introduced Chen Fan to Ye Zheng, Ye Zheng learned that this was Dong Yun's master, guessed his identity, didn't say anything, and raised his hand respectfully. Chen Fan saw Ye Zheng, who was the tenth in the Nanbang Martial Arts List, and saw that this person was quite modest, so he raised his hand to return the salute. Le Xianyu on the side asked Ye Zheng anxiously: "Sect Chief Ye, how many sergeants have come to the Ce Mansion this time?" ”
Ye Zheng replied: "Three thousand." ”
When Le Xianyu heard that only 3,000 people came, he was still worried, although Cefu was an elite legion, but with 3,000 people and the only troops in the city, it was still very difficult to defend Xuancheng.
