Chapter 56: Jinfan Siege

The Jinfan Army stationed in Jiujiang Port is one of the four elite legions in East Vietnam, and its commander Lin Zhenba ranks fifth in the Nanbang military list, and his own martial arts are also very strong. The Jinfan Army is different from the ordinary army, half of the soldiers in the army were originally from the green forest, and they galloped through the Eighteenth Road Water Village and Poyang County. It was only later that under the leadership of the commander Lin Zhenba, he took refuge in Emperor Hui of Dongyue, and Emperor Hui also treated him well, and still ordered him to command his original subordinates, and ordered him to be stationed in Jiujiang Port to reject Western Wei and Northern Qin. Lin Zhenba is also quite hard-working, more than 30 battles in the past ten years, with more wins and fewer losses, and firmly defended Jiujiang Port for Dongyue. The Jinfan Army under his command also gradually expanded, becoming one of the most elite legions in East Vietnam. Because there are many people in the green forest, the Jinfan Army is extremely brave in battle, and the means are endless, and the sword is often unexpected. Although there have been some disputes in Jiujiang Port from time to time in these years, as long as the main force of the Jinfan Army comes out, there has not been a defeat.

Lin Zhenba received a military order from the Ministry of War to go to Le'an to quell the chaos, and immediately allocated 15,000 Jinfan troops, led by his eldest son Lin Pinghui, and set off immediately. Before leaving, Lin Zhenba warned his son that there was something strange about the chaos this time, and he also heard some rumors about the living dead, and asked Lin Pinghui to be cautious in everything and not to rush forward, and at the same time, he had sent people to Tianjian Villa, and there would be several masters near Le'an to join him. Lin Pinghui responded one by one and led the army to Le'an.

In the city of Le'an, a Jiuli army of nearly 3,000 people spent several months entering the city in batches, lurking, and after the city was closed, it took advantage of the situation to conquer the government in one fell swoop, defeated the local garrison, and occupied Le'an. And the leader of the Jiuli army is a young general of the Jiuli clan, the disciple is seven feet tall, looks quite violent, and plays a very strange scimitar. He is the leader of the younger generation in the Jiuli army, this time he was ordered to assist Yuji to come, and he came with a young woman who was quite smart, it was his junior sister named Wen Zhu, Wen Zhu had been in the Jiuli tribe for a long time, never went out, this time I heard that the senior brother had a mission to go to Dongyue, she was secretly hiding from the master, slipped out, played for several months, and gradually became a little boring, when preparing to return to the Jiuli tribe, the friend suddenly made a difficulty, occupied Le'an, she was also trapped in the city, it was difficult to go back for a while.

Xiao Zhongqin and Ling Hui rushed to the Heavenly Sword Villa non-stop, but were suddenly told that Liu Yigang was in retreat to practice the way of the sword, and all the affairs in the villa were presided over by his junior brother Su Yining. Xiao Zhongqin and Su Yining are quite familiar, so they roughly informed the Jiuli clan of the current changes in Dongyue one by one, and after Su Yining listened, he informed Zhuang Li that he received a letter from Lin Zhenba of the Jinfan Army yesterday afternoon, and roughly heard about the strange situation in Wankou, Lincheng, Le'an, and Shangrao, and last night the fifth junior brother Peng Yiwei took his disciples and set off to Le'an. When Xiao Zhongqin heard that Peng Yiqi had rushed to Le'an, he understood that Su Yining attached great importance to this incident in Dongyue. Peng Yiwei is the master of Tianjian Villa second only to Liu Yigang, there are many speculations in the rivers and lakes, his strength can be firmly on the martial arts list, but because he has been practicing in the villa, he rarely comes out and walks around, so he lacks a record, so he is not included in the martial arts list. Right now, Liu Yigang is in retreat, so Peng Yiwei is the number one combat force of Tianjian Villa. Xiao Zhongqin and Ling Hui then said goodbye to Su Yining and also went to Le'an.

Lin Pinghui led the Jinfan army to come very quickly, and as soon as he arrived near Le'an, he sent scouts to investigate outside the city. Not finding the rumored living dead, Lin Pinghui ordered the army to camp on the spot and prepare to attack the enemy in the city for a while. In the evening, Lin Pinghui personally went to the vicinity of Le'an City for a walk, he was nearly thirty years old, but at the age of sixteen he worked hard in the army with Lin Zhenba, more than ten years, he had a lot of experience in marching and fighting. After carefully observing Le'an for a while, he faintly had a plan.

At the same time, the disciples learned that the 15,000 Jinfan army had arrived, and set up camp outside the city. He only had 3,000 9 li of sergeants in his hands, and he couldn't easily go out of the city to fight, so he decided to rely on the city defense to fight with this 15,000 Jinfan army.

After nightfall, the sergeants in the camp of the Jinfan Army began to assemble, and after dark, they began to approach the north gate. Before the Jinfan army could approach, the disciples received a report from their men that a sergeant had assembled at the north city gate. Originally, I thought that Lin Pinghui would rest for a night and then attack the city, but I didn't expect him to move so quickly, since he had already approached the city, his friends picked up their scimitars and came to the north city wall in person. As soon as he walked out of the Le'an Mansion, he met Wen Zhu head-on, Wen Zhu learned that the East Vietnamese army had been assembled outside the city, and she, as a member of the Jiuli tribe, was not cowardly, so she had to follow her senior brother over. The friend was worried about her safety and asked her to stay in the city, but the little girl was very resolute, and the friend had no choice, so he asked her to follow carefully and not to walk around. The two of them and a group of Jiuli entourage sergeants immediately rushed to the north city gate.

The Jinfan army had been assembled, and Lin Pinghui rode his horse to stand at the forefront, his face expressionless, and his angular facial features revealed bursts of killing intent. Seeing someone coming on the city wall, he condensed his anger and roared to the person on the city wall: "Jinfan Army Lin Pinghui came to quell the chaos, if you know each other, you will surrender yourself, otherwise you will attack the city and kill you without leaving a piece of armor." ”

The friend was quite arrogant when he saw the visitor, but he was not good at these arguments, so he replied very succinctly: "Ridiculous. ”

Lin Pinghui's face sank, he grabbed the reins of the horse, pulled out the big knife, and then with a wave, the whole army of the Jinfan Army rushed up, pushed the siege giant tree, and rushed to the north city gate. When the disciples saw the Jinfan army attacking the city, he ordered the crossbowmen to prepare, and first shot a flurry of bows and arrows. When the Jinfan army in the front row saw the bow and arrow attacking, they raised their round shields one after another and hid them in front of them, and their pace did not slow down at all. However, the bows and crossbows were dense, and many sergeants were shot and fell to the ground and were injured. A group of sergeants in the front row of the Jinfan Army were extremely flexible, using the round shield to block a large number of bows and arrows, and rushed to the city gate, and then, the sergeants dropped the round shield and flew out of the flying tiger claws to the city wall, which was originally a simple climbing rope, but the Jinfan Army improved the hook, which was larger than the ordinary hook claw, and added several barbed thorns. The purpose of the Flying Tiger's claws was not to climb the city wall, but to use this large circle of hook claws to pull the crossbowmen off the city wall one by one. A round of flying tiger claws flew out, instantly hooking more than a dozen Jiuli soldiers, Jinfan Jun pulled the rope hard, and the barbs on the hook claws were deeply embedded in the flesh and blood, and then with a strong pull, more than a dozen Jiuli soldiers were dragged off the city wall.

The crossbowmen were dragged down a dozen or so, and the Flying Tiger's claws flew up again, and the disciples swung their scimitars to split the hook and claws, and at the same time shouted, "Be careful, take two steps back, don't get ticked." As soon as the crossbowmen retreated, the bows and arrows stopped for a while, and the Jinfan army quickly pushed the giant tree to the city gate. After adjusting the direction of the giant tree, dozens of sergeants worked together to push the giant tree and slammed into the city gate, with a "boom", the entire north city gate shook violently, falling a large amount of dust, and the Jinfan army pushed a section in reverse, and pushed the giant tree to the city gate again. The disciples listened to the sound of the crash, and ordered the soldiers to drop boulders and sassholes at the gate of the city. The boulder and the mulberry fell and knocked over several Jinfan soldiers who were pushing the giant tree, but the wounded sergeant was immediately carried away, and the Jinfan army continued to take over. Lin Pinghui also came not far from the city gate, and he commanded the crossbowmen of the Jinfan Army to shoot a burst of crossbows at the city wall to suppress the soldiers who had dropped the logs and boulders. Back and forth, the sound of the city gate slamming continued.

The friend was a little anxious, so he ordered a group of sergeants to go to the other side of the city gate to reach the main city gate, and on the other hand, he asked the crossbowmen to change to fire crossbows, and immediately shot at the Jinfan army under the city. As soon as the fire crossbow came out, fires lit around the city gate, and the giant trees besieging the city were blocked for a moment.

Wen Su saw the battle on the battlefield for the first time, she was extremely frightened, and panicked to help the wounded on the side. Seeing many Jiuli soldiers being dragged down the city by the claws of the flying tiger, and seeing the soldiers on the city wall being shot by the bows and arrows on the opposite side, bleeding profusely, and sometimes the roar of giant trees hitting the city gate, the little girl was very frightened in her heart. The friend didn't have time to take care of her at the moment, and seeing that the fire crossbow had some effect, he ordered someone to prepare fire oil, ready to light a fire and burn these Jinfan troops to death.

The battle was raging in front of the north city gate, but Lin Pinghui's attention looked at the east and west sides of the city wall from time to time. There were more and more wounded soldiers on the city wall, and Wen Zhu and a group of sergeants helped the wounded to the vacant ground on both sides, allowing the wounded to rest for a while. At this time, suddenly a round of flying tiger claws flew up from both sides at the same time, and after a while, there were Jinfan troops on both sides one after another climbing up along the rope of the flying tiger claws. Wen Zhu saw that Youjinfan had gone up to the city wall, and shouted in the direction of his friends: "Someone has climbed up!" Before she could finish speaking, she grabbed a long knife and stopped in front of the wounded, ready to fight.

The attention of the friends was at the city gate, and when he heard Wen Zhu shouting, he had a bad heart, this Lin Pinghui still had this calculation, and when he looked back at the Jinfan army coming up on both sides, Wen Zhu was already in one place with several Jinfan soldiers. Although she is a woman, she also has a lot of means, and several Jinfan soldiers can't get close to her at all, but have been knocked down by her. Seeing this, the disciples were attacked on both sides at this time, so he ordered the soldiers to divide into two teams to stop the Jinfan army on the left and right city walls first, and he urged the fire oil to be carried out quickly. The Jinfan army continued to come up along the claws of the flying tiger from both sides, and the two teams separated by the disciples were quickly suppressed. Fortunately, by this time, the oil had been carried to the city walls.

Seeing the oil barrels, the Jinfan army on the city wall immediately understood that the fire oil must not be poured to the siege soldiers outside the city gate, the two teams tried their best to kill over, trying to prevent the Jiuli soldiers from pouring the fire oil, the friends hurriedly ordered someone to pour the fire oil at this time, and he waved his scimitar to stop the Jinfan army who came over. The scimitar of the disciple was mixed with black gas, and after a burst of slashing, the Jinfan army was injured one after another, and everyone saw that the main general was brave, and they did not dare to rush forward, but seeing that the fire oil was about to fall, at this time several sergeants suddenly shouted to the city wall: "Be careful of the fire oil!" ”

Lin Pinghui has been paying attention to the changes on the city wall, and seeing that the Jinfan army has rushed to the city wall to fight with the Jiuli soldiers, and the fire crossbows shot at the giant wood are obviously less, he is ready to let the soldiers work harder, and break through the city gate in one go. But when he heard the fire oil, he looked carefully at the city wall by the light of the fire, and sure enough, there was a Jiuli sergeant pushing the fire oil up, and he immediately understood what the Jiuli general wanted to do, and quickly ordered the soldiers who were besieging the city to retreat. Before everyone could react, several barrels of fire oil were smashed down on the giant tree, the barrel hit the giant tree, and a large amount of light red fire oil gushed out after it was broken, and the first reaction of the Jinfan Army was to go, but then, several fire crossbows were accurately shot on the fire oil, and the fire ignited for a while, and the siege giant tree and the surrounding soldiers were wrapped in the sea of fire, and there was a wailing sound in the firelight, and Lin Pinghui pinched the blade fiercely.

The disciples on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief, and he swung his sword to clean up the Jinfan army that had attacked the city.
