Chapter 118: Digging a Tunnel
Ye Zheng's five people were trapped, and the Lincheng army surrounded several layers around the perimeter to prevent the five from escaping. The battle between Ye Zheng and Feng Evil was quite intense, and layers of qi poured out around the two of them. Mo Buyu and Mo Liu greeted the willow, Mo Buyu and the seven-star sword came out together, Mo Liu's double swords condensed with energy, and the two joined forces to resist the willow. Dong Yun and Sun Lin faced Gehu, and the two sacrificed layers of hexagrams to trap Gehu. Sun Lin observed the surroundings and saw that there were many people in the Lincheng army, he stepped out and quickly took a hexagram on the ground, Dong Yun saw Sun Lin's movements, and knew that the little junior brother had to rely on the formation to get out of trouble, so he tried his best to entangle Gehu so that Sun Lin had time to set up the formation.
Sun Lin quickly came to the other side, shot down the two Lincheng soldiers, bent down, and shot a hexagram on the ground very quickly. When Pang Tuo saw Sun Lin's movements, he hurried over, unsheathed his long sword, and stabbed Sun Lin directly. Sun Lin reacted quickly, dodged sideways, and did not fight with Pang Tuo, and hurriedly ran to the third place. Pang Tuo was a little anxious, and shouted at the Lincheng army: "Stop him." A team of sergeants of the Lincheng army immediately rushed up, Sun Lin recognized the position, he faced the hexagram head-on, rushed directly to the sergeant, and after knocking away several Lincheng soldiers, he took a heavy picture of the third hexagram. Seeing this, Pang Tuo estimated that the formation was about to be completed, so he casually threw out his long sword and flew straight to Sun Lin. Sun Lin saw that the long sword was menacing, he put out both palms, and the two hexagrams collided with the long sword, and the qi was staggered, exploding the qi wave, Sun Lin took advantage of the qi wave, jumped backwards, and came to the fourth place very quickly. This place is close to Ye Zheng and Feng Evil. He walked over quickly, and the wind evil also saw Sun Lin's movements, and he slapped Ye Zheng with a palm of black qi, wanting to force Ye Zheng to retreat first, and then deal with Sun Lin. Ye Zheng was unwilling to give up, he faced the black qi of the wind evil, did not retreat but advanced, slapped the black qi away with his palm, and directly condensed his qi and directly crashed into the wind evil. Feng Xie couldn't get rid of it for a while to deal with Sun Lin, so he could only catch Ye Zheng's palm first, and at the same time shouted to the surroundings: "Stop that kid." ”
Pang Tuo jumped over, his hands came out with all his strength, and attacked Sun Lin, Sun Lin had just arrived at the fourth place, afraid of a mistake, so he didn't care about Pang Tuo's strength at him, and immediately waved his palm and slapped the fourth hexagram. As the fourth hexagram was taken, the four hexagrams suddenly burst out on the ground, and the four hexagrams of water, fire, wood, and gold staggered back and forth, hitting the surrounding Lincheng army one by one. But Sun Lin's back was also strong enough to hit Pang Tuo's two strengths, he was unsteady on his feet, and he fell to the ground all of a sudden, with a fishy sweetness in his mouth.
Pang Tuo saw that the Lincheng army was knocked down by the strength of the formation, he was furious, and quickly attacked Sun Lin who fell to the ground.
Sun Lin hurriedly got up, his breath was a little chaotic, in the face of the menacing Pang Tuo, he didn't fight hard, a retreat, dodging the attack, flipping his palms, not far away Kan hexagram, Zhen hexagram two waters, the wood attribute qi suddenly flew out, crashed into Pang Tuo. Pang Tuo sensed that there was qi coming from behind, turned around and slapped his palms, and was immediately bounced away for a while, and staggered back more than ten steps before he stood firmly. Looking at Sun Lin again, he had come to the vicinity of the valley mouth, knocked down several Lincheng soldiers with his palm, and was surrounded by the Seven Ancestors.
Several people in the formation found that Sun Lin's formation had opened the gap in the encirclement of the Lincheng army, and they all rushed towards the side of Gukou. Mo Buyu, Mo Liu, and Dong Yun got rid of the entanglement of Liu Shang and Gehu, walked over quickly, and the four of them attacked the Seventh Ancestor together. The Seven Ancestors and the Seven Ancestors could burst out with powerful combat power when they were together, but they were scattered, and they were not the opponents of the four, and soon the three Seven Ancestors were injured by Dong Yun and Mo Buyu and fell to the ground. Yanagigami and Gehu also walked quickly to the vicinity of the valley mouth, and several people fought in one place again. Sun Lin was a little out of breath, and he frequently urged out the qi in the four hexagram arrays to help the other three attack Liu Shang and Gehu.
Ye Zheng and Feng Xie still tried their best to fight together, Mo Buyu was a little anxious, and shouted at Ye Zheng: "Sect Leader Ye, go." "It's not that Ye Zheng doesn't want to go, but the wind evil is trying his best to entangle himself at the moment. He used all his strength several times to force back the wind evil, but the old man just refused to back down, gushing out layers of black qi and vowed to leave it behind.
Sun Lin's formation didn't last long, he stepped forward and forced back a Seventh Ancestor with one palm, and a large amount of earth attribute qi was condensed in his hand, and he slapped it down with one palm. For a while, the qi of the five elements in the formation fused, and strong qi gushed out around the four hexagrams, and layers of qi waves exploded in the entire array, shaking back a few steps from the Lincheng army, Gehu, Liushang, and Fengxi. Ye Zheng took the opportunity to get rid of the wind evil and jumped to the valley. The five of them quickly retreated and ran in the direction of Jianye City.
When the qi wave dissipated, Feng Xie saw that the five people had escaped for a while, he looked at the backs of several people angrily, turned around and left, and at the same time remembered Sun Lin deeply. Yanagi and Gehu knew that this ambush was not good, and carefully followed behind the wind evil, not daring to speak. The Lincheng army led by Pang Tuo was injured by Sun Lin's formation this time, so he could only lead people to leave silently and continue to hide near Jianye City.
In front of the east, west, and south gates of Jianye City, the white horse cavalry were still stationed, and Ye Zheng and several people returned to the city to inform Xuandong that the enemy army was most likely digging tunnels. Xuan Dong was also very puzzled for a while, so he could only order the sergeants to pay attention to the abnormalities in the city wall at all times, and on the other hand, he kept an eye on the three white horse cavalry on the opposite side, and attacked out of the city at the first opportunity. Sun Lin resisted Pang Tuo's two strengths, and continuously urged the formation, and when he came back, a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, so Dong Yun helped him to go back to the camp and asked Ye Qin to come over and check it. Hua Yiwei and Ye Qin lived together, and when they heard that Sun Lin was injured, the two came over at the same time, Ye Qin was just about to check Sun Lin, Hua Yiwei frowned, stepped forward quickly, grabbed Sun Lin's arm, and put his finger on Sun Lin's wrist. When Ye Qin saw it, he smiled slightly, and came out of the tent first. Sun Lin was extremely embarrassed to let Hua Yiwei pinch her wrist, and after a long time, Hua Yiwei's face relaxed, and she said with a little anger: "Why do you get hurt every time you go out?" ”
Sun Lin was speechless by this question, and said in his heart, I don't want to be hurt, so I can only reply hastily: "Just be careful next time." ”
Hua Yiwei glared angrily and threw out a sentence: "You lie down first, I'll go out to decoct the medicine." With that, he turned and left the tent. Sun Lin was indeed a little tired, so he fell down and lay on the bed and rested for a while. After about an hour, Hua Yiwei came to Sun Lin's tent again with the medicinal soup, and Sun Lin saw someone coming in and quickly got up. Hua Yiwei saw it, but she said quite sternly: "Lie down." Then he walked to Sun Lin's bedside. Sun Lin was even more at a loss when he saw Hua Yiwei coming. Hua Yiwei held the medicinal soup in one hand and Sun Lin in the other, and blew the decoction for a while with great care, bringing it to Sun Lin's mouth. Sun Lin stretched out his hand and hurriedly grabbed the decoction and said, "I'm fine, come by yourself, come by yourself." Hua Yiwei ignored it and insisted on sending the decoction to Sun Lin's mouth, and Sun Lin could only obediently let him feed a large bowl of medicinal soup. After Sun Lin finished drinking the decoction, the two suddenly looked at each other. At the same time, feeling a trace of embarrassment, Hua Yiwei's face turned red, she got up and left the camp with the medicine bowl, and Sun Lin sat alone on the bed for a long time.
In the palace these days, Zhong Xu clearly felt that the Dongyue offensive had weakened, and he guessed that it should be the military camp outside the city. He asked Shu Zhenghe to be ready to rush out from the Xuanwu Gate at any time. Shu Zhenghe stayed in the palace for a few days, and he was already extremely impatient, so he immediately went down to prepare, just waiting for Zhong Xu's order.
Jin Huiqun was still in ambush near the palace, waiting for a few days, the city was already besieged by a large army, he was very puzzled why Xuan Dong didn't do anything to these Xuanjia troops, and he didn't understand why Zhong Xu didn't take this opportunity to rush out, so he had no choice but to continue to wait.
After the Jinfan Army was broken through by the Wushu camp in Jiujiang Port, Lin Pinghui integrated the sergeants to rest for two days, and he also marched quickly and rushed to the mouth of the Wuxukou. The Jinfan army has been hit hard in a row, and its combat strength is not as good as before, Lin Pinghui rushed here because he couldn't swallow the breath of being broken through by the martial arts battalion, and on the other hand, he was loyal to him, his father Lin Zhenba was extremely loyal to Dongyue during his lifetime, and he didn't want to insult his father's reputation because of himself. Lin Pinghui was going to rest for a day at the mouth of the water, and immediately set off to Jianye.
Outside Jianye City, the White Horse Cavalry is indeed digging tunnels, Zeng Tianlin is also very puzzled, generally digging tunnels are only carried out quietly in one door, and they are all in some small and medium-sized cities, in the face of large cities like Jianye City, the tunnels can only be excavated to the front of the city wall at most, and it is very easy to be discovered by the defenders. He believed that Gao Huan would not even understand such a simple truth. But seeing that he sent people to dig in the three gates, the momentum was huge, and it didn't look like a simple suspicious strategy. He couldn't guess Gao Huan's true intentions for a while, so he could only continue to observe.
While everyone was full of doubts about digging tunnels, Gao Huan actually didn't understand why Feng Xie wanted him to do this. Feng Xie told him at the time that all four gates were digging tunnels, and as long as one of them reached the city wall, he would have a way to break through the city and attack Jianye. At present, the Cefu is sticking to the city gate, and he has no other way, so he follows the meaning of the wind evil and lets his subordinates keep digging day and night.
Xiao Zhongqin, the dirty cloth Taoist, and Yuan Yichen learned everything that happened outside the city from Dong Yun and Mo Buyu, and the three of them also thought about it for a while, but they couldn't guess the opponent's intentions. After Ling Hui was injured, he had been resting until Ye Qin came over and fed him a large pile of pills, at this moment he had recovered most of the time, he came out and heard the discussion between several people, and casually threw out a sentence: "Dig a tunnel, do you still want to blow up the city wall." ”
This sentence was unintentional, but the listeners were shocked. Several people present looked at Ling Hui in surprise, Ling Hui was a little embarrassed by everyone, and said: "Is it really bombed, this city wall is so thick, how much ** does it take, besides, if it is blown up, the tunnel will collapse directly, and people will be buried." ”
Yuan Yichen thought for a moment and said slowly: "What if it's not a person who comes." "Everyone understands that what Yuan Yichen is talking about is a puppet.
Ling Hui said ** by mistake this time, everyone sorted out their clues, guessing that the strategy of the enemy army on the opposite side should be to dig a deep tunnel to the city gate, and then bury enough ** in the ground, as long as the puppet comes close to the ** place with torches, the city gate can be blown open in an instant, and then the two armies break in, and the city can be broken.
Several people hurriedly went to the Xuandong tent and informed the other party that it was very likely that the puppet would be used to ignite the ** in the tunnel, so that the opposite action must be stopped as soon as possible.
