Chapter 18: The Lin family has a tiger called for Yi
On an autumn morning, the sun was far behind the clouds. There was an uncomfortable chill in the air, and the crisp west wind and warm sunshine of the autumn sun never appeared on the high sky.
At this time, Yancheng was already in full battle. After Zhang Yao made up his mind last night, he led a large army into the city at night, and began to prepare fortifications, build high platforms, widen barriers, dig deep ditches, set up horses to resist, and actively encourage the people in the city. As soon as the people heard that the people of Nanliang were about to hit their doorstep, they were all filled with righteous indignation, and immediately actively participated in this defensive battle.
Of course, the people will not go to the battlefield in person, but they can help transport weapons and tools, or participate in the construction of fortifications, and even incarnate as errand runners, specially to deliver news and notices to the sergeants, so that the sergeants can save a lot of physical strength, so as to concentrate on preparing for the upcoming battle, and the morale of the army is gradually invigorated.
Zhang Yao learned that the scout had come to report, saying that Lin Yi's army had simply rested for about two hours last night, and they had not unloaded their heavy weapons and rushed directly to this Yancheng again, estimating that the time would arrive at the outskirts of Yancheng this morning. And according to the news from Mr., if the reinforcements come as quickly as possible, it will take three or five days, which means that he, Zhang Yao, must hold this Yancheng, which is about to be turned into a lonely city, for at least three days, thinking of this, the corners of Zhang Yao's mouth unconsciously flashed a bitter smile, who would have thought that he would be forced to this point by Lin Yi?
Zhang Yao was standing on the head of Yancheng City at this time, looking at the suburbs in the distance. This morning, he had already received news that General Na Ding and Cai Jian had already built a camp on the outskirts of Yancheng, twenty miles away from Yancheng, and everything was already ready, and now they were just waiting for Lin Yi's arrival.
Sure enough, after a while, I faintly heard the sound of heavy horses' hooves in the distance, and gradually, the once clearly visible distant suburbs were covered by the vast yellow sand and flying smoke, and the sunless sky seemed to be frightened by the iron hooves in the distance, covered with a thick black cloth, black clouds pressed the city, and the wind tightened.
After a while, he saw a group of cavalry appear on the distant plain, and the sound made the earth tremble, and thousands of horses were flying in unison, flying sand and rocks, and those who did not have some courage might be frightened when they saw this scene at this time.
Zhang Yao's heart trembled when he saw the iron-hoofed army rushing towards him, and he looked around fixedly, and found that the soldiers in this city tower seemed to be frightened, their eyes were dilated, and they were stunned. Then he shouted: "Everyone cheer me up and prepare to meet the enemy." After speaking, he directly drew his broadsword, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the distant army.
As soon as the soldiers heard this, they all came back to their senses, and they also looked at Lin Yi's army closely. In fact, it's no wonder that they are most of the plains on the outskirts of Yancheng, and this Lin Yi's army is like a line of heaven lined up under the distant sky, and the impact on them is very great, coupled with the experience of the previous defeats, at this time, Lin Yi is also jealous.
Gradually, the distant army rolled in at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a surging river, carrying the aftermath of the great victory, and most of them were about to approach the vicinity of this salt city.
In the midst of that army, hundreds of flags were erected, with the words "Liang" and "Lin" written on them, and the hundred flags moved with the wind, which was very shocking. One man in the army took the lead, two or three positions ahead of the other cavalry.
I saw that the man's face was like jade, his eyes were like meteors, his sword eyebrows were sharp, his tiger body was ape, his wolf waist was tight, he was riding a red war horse under his crotch, wearing a lion helmet and beast belt, wearing a bright golden robe, and holding a lock spear.
Zhang Yao looked at this Lin Yi, and didn't feel that his heart trembled, and sighed secretly: "What a golden gun marquis." Although he had fought many times on the battlefield before, he had not seen Lin Yi's appearance as carefully as he did today because of his perspective, it is rumored that Lin Yi was born with a handsome appearance, and someone once said that Lin Yi said: "When it comes to the jade face lang, it is Lin Yi's like." ”
That Lin Yi led the army division to the bottom of the tower, of course, it would not be very close, but it was about a place beyond the reach of the bow and arrow, so he stopped the horse and waved his hand to the army behind him. Suddenly, the army that was still huge just now fell silent in a blink of an eye, and they all grabbed their horses one after another, stopping and waiting for Lin Yi's instructions. The battlefield was suddenly silent, quite strange, except for the sporadic roar of war horses and the fluttering of flags in the wind.
Lin Yi opened his eyes slightly, and looked at the city tower, and in a blink of an eye, he saw that Zhang Yao was also staring at him from this city tower, and he didn't speak, waiting for this Zhang Yao to speak first.
Zhang Yao knew Lin Yi's temper, so he took a deep breath in his heart, and then asked loudly: "Lin Yi, I thought you were a smart person who knew how to use soldiers, but I didn't think you were a madman, don't you know that you are killing yourself by traveling a long distance to come to my Yancheng?" Your army has not rested well, it is exhausted, and our army is waiting for work, and you must not throw away your armor if you are going to kill this time. ”
Zhang Yao knew that the form at this time was not conducive to him, so he wanted to drag Lin Yi from this speech first, so as to shake and shake Lin Yi's military heart.
When Lin Yi heard this Zhang Yaode's words, he pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly, and then raised his head straight, a pair of eyes were staring at Zhang Yao's face tightly, and his cold gaze seemed to make Zhang Yao fall into a pool of ice springs, and he couldn't help but tremble slightly in his heart, if his gaze could kill people, this Lin Yi's gaze would have killed that Zhang Yao countless times.
Lin Yi paused, and then said coldly: "Zhang Yao, don't talk nonsense, I'll give you ten breaths of time to think about it, do you get out and sacrifice the city yourself, or wait for me to go in, kill you, and then capture the city?" ”
Good guys, when the soldiers on the upper floor of this city heard this, not only gasped, but Lin Yi's tone was so arrogant that they simply didn't take them seriously, as if this Yancheng was at his fingertips as long as he Lin Yi wanted, and then the whole army was furious, and they were going to shoot this Lin Yi just after Zhang Yao's order.
Zhang Yao was originally a short-tempered person, and when he heard this, he couldn't wait to go out of the city in person to tear Lin Yi's mouth apart, and let out a vicious breath. But after all, he has been a general for many years, and he knows that he can't act recklessly at this time, so he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and scolded angrily: "Okay, you Lin Yi child, you dare to be so disdainful of Ben Jiang, today I will definitely let you see what it means to fail!" ”
This Lin Yi closed his eyes slightly, as if he hadn't heard Zhang Yao speak, and muttered in his mouth that he didn't know what he was talking about. Zhang Yao looked at Lin Yi's appearance very strangely, not only him, but even the soldiers of the two armies were quite funny when they saw this Lin Yi as if he was asleep, and this serious battlefield was suddenly filled with a strange atmosphere.
Zhang Yao scratched his head, he didn't know what this Lin Yi meant, and thought to himself: "His grandmother's, what kind of trick is this Lin Yi child doing, what kind of trick is this?" ”
Lin Yi still closed his eyes tightly at this time, looking leisurely and complacent, and finally, in the quiet atmosphere of the battlefield, Lin Yi also raised his voice slightly.
"Five...... Six...... Seven ...... "This Lin Yi was silently counting the number of breaths, it turned out that what he said was not a joke, but he really wanted this Zhang Yao to go out of the city and surrender within ten breaths, as if Zhang Yao would really attack the city directly if he didn't surrender."
When the officers and men of the whole army heard this, they all showed a stunned expression on their faces, they were surprised by Lin Yi's bold approach, and they all looked at Zhang Yao, wanting to see the expression on Zhang Yao's face clearly.
When Zhang Yao learned about it, he was furious and scolded Lin Yi directly: "Your grandmother's Lin Yi child, you dare to humiliate this general like this, you stinky child dare to do this in front of the soldiers of the three armies, do you really think that you are your old man?" ”
Lin Yi opened his eyes slightly after hearing this Zhang Yao's angry and angry scolding in the city, sighed and said, "Zhang Yao, Ben Hou gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it, then it's no wonder that Ben Hou." ”
Then he looked up at the sky, and saw that the sky was all black, so he sighed again and said to this Zhang Yao: "It's a pity, you won't see the fiery red sun again before you die." He stopped talking, but suddenly took off the bow and arrow he was carrying behind him, and said that it was too late, and in the blink of an eye, he took the arrow and aimed it at the head of the city, and shot straight out
Zhang Yao noticed that something was wrong when he saw him talking, so he was prepared to take precautions, but when he saw this Lin Yi shooting a bow and arrow in the blink of an eye, he was still taken aback in his heart, and then he sat down directly regardless of the image, and he could avoid the arrow, but because the inertia of the bow and arrow was too great, he happened to bring his helmet directly down, and he immediately spread his head, which was very embarrassing.
Seeing this situation, Lin Yi's army laughed out loud, and Zhang Yao's army was also very embarrassed, not knowing what to do.
When Lin Yi saw that an arrow didn't kill that Zhang Yao, he shook his head slightly and said to Zhang Yao who was in a panic: "It's a pity, it's your fate." ”
Zhang Yao was in a panic, and when he suddenly heard Lin Yi's words, he was even more annoyed. Then he said sharply to the archer beside him, "Shoot him for me, shoot quickly!" ”
When the archer heard this, he took a bow and bent down and shot at this Lin Yi, and in an instant, ten thousand arrows were fired together, and the scene was quite spectacular.
Lin Yi didn't dodge, but just stood in front of him on horseback, as if ignoring these arrows.
I saw that these arrows fell before they reached Lin Yi's body, and they couldn't shoot Lin Yi at all, or they didn't have that far range.
When the officers and soldiers of the two armies saw this, they were even more shocked, and they had to sigh how amazing Lin Yi's arm strength and archery skills were.
After Lin Yi calmed down slightly, he waved his hand to the army behind him, and then said loudly: "Siege." ”
