Chapter 90: Winter Thunder
Ye Zheng saw Le Xianyu's worries, and he also understood that it was very difficult to defend the city by relying on these people alone, but Xuancheng was the gateway to Jianye, and he couldn't give up categorically.
Le Xianyu sent someone to Jianye for help that night, Ye Zheng immediately asked the sergeant of Cefu to join the city defense, and after a busy night, the fire in front of the West City Gate was gradually extinguished. Ye Zheng and Chen Fan personally went out of the city to check the remains of the puppet, Ye Zheng vaguely recognized from the wreckage that these people were all soldiers from Dongyue, and he said angrily: "This demon of Jiuli is all our Dongyue soldiers. ”
Chen Fan was quite angry when he saw Ye Zheng, and said: "Can't let Jiuli succeed again, Dongyue should be the first step, and what they are trying to do next is the entire Central Plains, and they must try their best to eradicate this group of demons in Dongyue." ”
When Ye Zheng heard this, he calmed down a little and asked Chen Fan: "Mr. Chen, what is going on in Jiuli?" ”
Chen Fan heard Ye Zheng ask, so he said slowly: "The Jiuli clan originated from the ancient Chiyou people, after they were defeated by the Yellow Emperor, although they tried their best to exterminate them, but relying on strange means, they have not been able to uproot, what they want is not a city and a pool, but to subvert the entire Central Plains, they think that Jiuli should be the lord of the Central Plains back then, so every other paragraph, Jiuli will provoke wars in the Central Plains, twenty years ago it was Northern Qin, this time it was Dongyue, and now Dongyue Xuancheng, Wankou, Le'an, Shangrao have appeared Jiuli people, It should have been deployed for a long time, and it should not be careless. ”
After hearing this, Ye Zheng said bluntly: "Their goal is Jianye. ”
Chen Fan was silent, and the two were silent for a while, and then returned to the city. As soon as he entered the city, Ye Zheng took the initiative to ask to go to the armory, while Chen Fan stayed at the city wall. This time the Cefu came in a hurry, without bringing too much ordnance, Ye Zheng led a team of Cefu sergeants and moved a large number of bows and arrows, wolf teeth and wood, horses and ropes from the Xuancheng Ordnance Depot. He immediately ordered the soldiers to arrange fortifications on the outside of the city wall, lay down horses, dig deep pits, and bury wolf teeth and wooden traps. Dong Yun, Mo Buyu, Mo Liu, and Bai Zan also joined the city defense, and everyone prepared for a long time, waiting for the next wave of the puppet's offensive.
Sun Lin was injured, after being bandaged by the military doctor of the Xuancheng Army, he was fine, but he still needed to change the dressing every day, and later he went to the military doctor's office, and saw that the military doctors had gone out to collect wound medicine, and only a handsome woman was left in the camp. Sun Lin saw that the woman was about to leave, and when the woman saw that he was leaving, she asked, "You came to change the medicine?" When Sun Lin heard the woman ask him, he hurriedly replied, "Well, I'll come back later." ”
"Come here, I'll change it for you." The woman's voice is extremely good, and her tone is quite hearty. Sun Lin was stunned for a moment, but he didn't make a sound, he was a little embarrassed. The woman continued: "Big husband, what are you twisting, come here." After speaking, the woman casually took out gauze and some wound medicine.
Sun Lin was a little at a loss, but when he saw that the woman had prepared the wound medicine, he slowly walked to the side and found a stool to sit down.
The woman walked in front of Sun Lin, vaguely with a fragrance, Sun Lin saw the woman's appearance clearly, smart big eyes, high nose bridge, cherry mouth, slightly wheat complexion, the whole person is quite aura. Seeing Sun Lin looking at her, the woman coughed and asked, "Where is the injury?" ”
Sun Lin immediately lowered his head and whispered, "On the back, the arrow wound." ”
"Untie it." The woman said as she walked behind Sun Lin. Sun Lin twisted and untied his coat, and the woman skillfully helped Sun Lin cut the gauze, and then took a new pair, applied the wound medicine, and pasted it on Sun Lin's wound, and at the same time the whole person leaned up, pinching the gauze with both hands, and circled around Sun Lin's back and in front of him a few times, Sun Lin had never had such close contact with a woman, and he only held hands with Wei Qingyue in the mouth of the beard before, and suddenly his face turned red. The woman wrapped the gauze and tied a knot on her back, and at this moment, her slender fingers crossed the skin on Sun Lin's back, and Sun Lin's whole person was unconsciously shocked. The woman didn't care, and said, "Don't move, it'll be fine soon." Sun Lin insisted on staying motionless as if he were facing a great enemy, waiting for the woman's bandaging to be completed.
The woman quickly helped Sun Lin change the medicine, and said with a smile: "Okay." Hearing that, Sun Lin put on his coat and was about to leave. The woman suddenly stopped him and said, "You are the master who resisted the puppet outside the city last night." ”
When Sun Lin heard the woman ask, he replied unnaturally: "Well, it's not a master, it's just, it's just." Sun Lin swallowed, and the woman smiled heartily when she heard it: "Okay, thank you for your help." ”
"No, no, thank you for helping me change the dressing." After finishing speaking, Sun Lin wanted to leave again, but the woman stopped him again and asked, "My name is Hua Yiwei, what is your name?" ”
When Sun Lin heard Hua Yiwei ask his name, he hurriedly said, "My name is Sun Lin." After speaking, Sun Lin ran out of the barracks in embarrassment and rushed to the west city wall to meet Chen Fan. Hua Yiwei saw Sun Lin's embarrassed appearance and smiled silently.
After a period of defeat, Yu Si and Pang Tuo were both very annoyed, originally thinking that Xuancheng was empty and it didn't take much effort to take it, but at the moment, it was not easy. In order to deal with the fire attack of the Xuancheng army, the two thought about it for a long time, and there was no good way for a while, just when the two of them had a headache, they suddenly found that the sky was dark, and it was already the end of the year, and there was not much rain, but if they looked carefully into the air, the dark clouds were thick, and there was indeed a rainstorm coming. Yu Si and Pang Tuo were overjoyed, and hurriedly urged the puppets and the Lincheng army to attack.
Chen Fan saw the dark clouds in the sky on the west city wall, his heart was shocked, and he quickly made a hexagram in his hand, and his face suddenly became ugly. He called Dong Yun and Sun Lin, and said in a heavy tone: "The sky is dark, the puppet is about to come, this period is quite difficult to hold, once there is an accident, the two of you must try your best to break out, if I encounter an accident, inform your senior brother Yuan Yichen, come back to inherit the master of Qimen, and go all out to deal with Jiuli." ”
Dong Yun and Sun Lin obviously heard the abnormality in Chen Fan's words, and Sun Lin hurriedly spoke: "Master, what's wrong with you?" What happened? Dong Yun also hurriedly said: "Master, are you afraid that the puppet will attack while the rain is coming?" ”
"Don't ask more, the puppet should take advantage of the rain, anyway, make a note of what I just said." Chen Fan said quite resolutely, Sun Lin was still puzzled, and wanted to ask him, but Chen Fan waved his hand and asked the two of them to hurry down and prepare to meet the enemy.
Chen Fan is not afraid of the puppet attack, many years ago, he just entered the Qi Gate, the then door master had a divination for his fortune, the hexagram is like his life, the last sentence is: "Winter thunder, mortal dust." He always remembered this sentence, and the scene at this moment inevitably allowed him to combine the hexagrams at that time, if it was really his own limit, the destiny of heaven could not be violated, what he could do was to try his best to help Xuancheng resist this wave of offensive.
When Dong Yun and Sun Lin went down to prepare, they kept discussing what was going on, and they ran into Ye Zheng, Mo Buyu, Mo Liu, and Bai Zan who came over. Dong Yun informed Ye Zheng that the master judged that the puppet was about to come. Ye Zheng knew Chen Fan's identity and knew that this was by no means groundless, so he asked everyone to be vigilant and ready to meet the enemy at any time, and at the same time informed Le Xianyu.
Chen Fan stared at the air intently, his heart was unusually calm at the moment, and then he lowered his head and took out a gossip copper coin on his body, stroked it several times, and said silently: "Eight doors are innocent." ”
Yu Si and Pang Tuo hurriedly reorganized the army and rushed to the gate of the west city, the sergeants of Cefu saw the puppets for the first time, and like ordinary people, they were also quite shocked, the puppets marched stiffly, with an unusual weirdness, and many people couldn't believe the vision in front of them. Mo Buyu, Mo Liu, and Bai Zan saw the enemy clearly, and the three of them were all angry in addition to fear, the Jiuli clan had controlled so many Dongyue soldiers by this evil method, and now they were still commanding these people to attack the city, and the people behind this were really vicious.
Ye Zheng took a deep breath and shouted to the group of sergeants: "Come to the enemy, prepare." The sergeants of Cefu and the defenders of Xuancheng gathered their swords at the same time, and their bows and crossbows were united against the menacing puppets and rebels. Everyone fell silent, and the footsteps of puppets and rebels could be heard under the city gates, a hundred, eighty, fifty. Ye Zheng shouted again when the enemy was fifty paces closer: "Bow and crossbow." ”
With Ye Zheng's shout, several rounds of bows and crossbows suddenly shot out from the city wall, that is, at the same moment, a muffled thunder suddenly came from the depths of the dark clouds, and the rain fell faintly in the air, Chen Fan leaned out, the unusually cold rain hit his face, he slowly closed his eyes, and bursts of thunder came from the clouds in the air again, Chen Fan opened his eyes and calmed down. Dong Yun and Sun Lin saw Chen Fan's strange appearance, and the two secretly discussed that they must follow the master closely and not let him have an accident.
Le Xianyu soon arrived on the city wall, he saw raindrops falling in the air, his first reaction was that last night's fire attack was not working, he walked to Chen Fan's side in a little panic, and asked: "Mr. Chen, it's raining, I'm afraid I can't use fire oil." Chen Fan nodded and replied, "I will do my best." Le Xianyu heard Chen Fan say to do his best, and he hurriedly replied: "Trouble Mr. Chen, thank you Mr. Chen." ”
Chen Fan said that he suddenly jumped out of the city wall, and Ye Zheng, Dong Yun, Sun Lin, Mo Buyu, Mo Liu, and Bai Zan were all surprised. Dong Yun and Sun Lin were about to rush over, but Ye Zheng suddenly stepped over, stopped in front of the two of them, and said coldly: "Wait, Mr. Chen is not a reckless person, he must have a plan, don't worry about the two of you first." ”
Dong Yun and Sun Lin were stopped, a little displeased, a group of people hurriedly looked at the city, Chen Fan stood alone near the rejection of the horse, there were a few thunders in the air again, and the rain gradually fell heavier. Yu Si and Pang Tuo were overjoyed, taking advantage of the heavy rain, they must seize this excellent opportunity to break through Xuancheng.
Chen Fan raised his hand and sacrificed several hexagrams, not in a hurry, slapped them one by one, and then dropped the rune paper every few steps, and finally slapped the gossip copper coin on the ground with a heavy palm in front of him. As the copper coin entered the ground, the hexagram immediately glowed, constantly rotating clockwise around, and the speed gradually accelerated, and countless hexagram seals appeared in front of the city gate for a while, covering the front of the fortifications built by the Cefu in layers. The people and sergeants on the city wall were greatly surprised when they saw Chen Fan's methods, and they were stunned for a moment. Ye Zheng saw that the puppet was about to collide with Chen Fan's hexagram seal, and he shouted to the surrounding sergeants: "Don't stop the bow and crossbow." ”
The sergeants reacted immediately, and shot out a burst of bows and crossbows again, and the puppets in the front row quickly inserted a lot of bows and arrows, and the puppets moved forward numbly, and finally collided with the magic circle laid by Chen Fan.
