Chapter Twenty-Seven: The City Breaks
Of course, Lin Yi would not see the appearance of the black shadow, he was leading a large army to rush to Yancheng at this time, and he was bound to take Yancheng before tomorrow.
The benefits of this are twofold.
First, you can capture Yancheng as soon as possible and let the army enter the city to rest; His army had been fighting repeatedly in a month, and he was tired, and the officers and men in the army complained a lot, and even went to the emperor when they heard about it. Although Lin Yi didn't think there was any problem, this made his soldiers dissatisfied with him, which might shake the morale of the army.
Therefore, if Yancheng can be captured earlier, the officers and men of the three armies can rest early, which is also conducive to stabilizing the morale of the army, and then restoring their combat effectiveness and preparing for the next possible war.
These two, of course, are because of Song Ruoyu; Song Ruoyu's reinforcements may rush to the Yancheng battlefield at any time, if he has not taken Yancheng before Song Ruoyu's reinforcements arrive, then the situation will be very unfavorable to him.
Although he was a Lian Zhan Lianjie before, his opponent was Zhang Yao, not Song Ruoyu.
Although Lin Yi has a rather arrogant personality, he also understands that if he had fought with Song Ruoyu in the previous battles with the Northern Jin Dynasty, the current situation would definitely not be so good.
Therefore, he couldn't let the good situation in front of him be ruined by a small salt city.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi couldn't help but shout to the general behind him: "Pass my general's order, the whole army will speed up, be sure to rush to the Yancheng battlefield before Zhang Yao goes back." ”
After a pause, Lin Yi said again: "In addition, General Lei went to search for Zhang Yao's whereabouts, he has no horses and dozens of people, if he appears in the wilderness, it must be very obvious." Tell General Lei that once Zhang Yao's whereabouts are discovered, he will be killed immediately, and he must not be allowed to return to Yancheng alive, let alone let him rush to Yancheng before us. ”
Lin Yi knew in his heart that with Zhang Yao's current state, of course, he could not compare to the marching speed of the soldiers of the three armies, and as for arriving in Yancheng before them, it was impossible to talk about it.
But Lin Yi faintly felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart.
In the situation just now, if it were normal, Zhang Yao would definitely be killed 100%, once Zhang Yao was killed, and then let the defenders of Yancheng know that their commander was killed, so that the morale of the defenders in the city was sluggish, and the morale of the army was weakened, then it would be easy to take Yancheng at that time, so why do you need to get to this point.
But with the accident just now, the mysterious black shadow, the weird archery, and the Zhang Yao were able to escape from under the noses of the whole army. He felt that this was very strange.
He just hoped that things would go as he wanted, but there would be no more moths.
But is it really that simple?
Lin Yi didn't know.
But what Lin Yi knows is that no matter what special circumstances will happen now, he only needs to take Yancheng immediately, and everything will be easy after that.
When Lin Yi thought of this, he also strengthened his thoughts in his heart, his face was straight, and he looked at the outline of Yancheng that was faintly visible in the distance, his eyes were deep and charming.
Not long after, Lin Yi led his three armies to the Yancheng battlefield.
Lin Yi looked at the top of the city tower, and saw that there were not many soldiers patrolling, and the guards were not very strict.
At that moment, I knew in my heart that Zhang Yao must not have returned to this salt city.
So without waiting, Lin Yi immediately said to the general beside him: "Order the three armies to attack the city immediately." ”
Hearing Lin Yi's general order, the general shouted to the soldiers behind: "The general has an order, attack the city immediately." ”
In an instant, the drums thundered, and Lin Yi's dozens of big drums resounded like thunder in the silent night, making this originally peaceful night suddenly come to purgatory.
When the soldiers who were patrolling and guarding the city tower heard this, they were stunned at first, and then couldn't help but look outside the city tower.
I saw that far below the city, Lin Yi's army actually took advantage of the night to rush again and try to forcibly attack the city.
After a few breaths, the defenders of Yancheng woke up like a dream, and hurriedly shouted their robes to resist Lin Yi's attack.
But how could the speed of the panicked defenders compare to the speed of the orderly Lin Yi army?
I saw that Lin Yi waved his hand, and then commanded loudly: "The archer listens to the order and releases the arrow." ”
Suddenly, ten thousand arrows were fired in unison, and the sharp arrows were like a scythe of death, harvesting the lives of the defenders on the tower.
At this time, it was night, and the defenders in the tower had experienced two days of bloody fighting, and they were already exhausted, and their attention was already inattentive, and it was a sudden attack, so before they could react, they were killed by arrows flying from somewhere.
The battle turned out to be a one-sided situation, Lin Yi's siege echelon didn't take much effort to come to the bottom of the tower, and in a blink of an eye, the family set up the ladder, and began to climb the ladder one after another in an attempt to rush up the tower.
Some of the defenders on the tower of the city only regained some reason at this time, became a little sober, and calmly shouted to their companions: "Don't panic, don't panic, shoot this Nanliang man down." ”
A small part of the defenders began to defend themselves, but most of them were still in a panic, and it could even be said that they could not find the north, south, north, and south, and were still confused on the tower.
Although Lin Yi's army downstairs in the city was on the offensive and had the upper hand, almost in the blink of an eye, he came to the downstairs of the city and began to build ladders and hit the city gate, but this was a siege war after all, so the casualties of Lin Yi's siege army were still not optimistic.
Seeing that the siege was hindered by some obstacles, Lin Yi's eyes were over, and he took out his treasure bow from behind him, held the bow in his left hand, and took out a feather arrow in his right hand, bent the bow and set the arrow, and shot an arrow at the defenders on the tower of the city.
The arrow was so piercing that before the defender could react, it slashed through his neck in an instant, killing him.
This move can stunned the generals next to Lin Yi They know that Lin Yi's skills are extraordinary, and they have seen a lot of Lin Yi's jaw-dropping performances on the battlefield, but this is really seen again, and they still feel incredible.
Lin Yi didn't care so much, but in an instant, he fired two arrows in a row, and in an instant, two more defenders on the city tower became the souls of these arrows.
They may not know before they die who ended their lives.
They just feel that this world is too ridiculous, where is there such an army?
Lian Zhan did not rest for a month, and after two days of unsuccessful storming of the city and heavy losses, he dared to attack the city again in the starry night.
What kind of army is this, and what kind of monster is the commander of the army, who can create such a terrifying iron-blooded army with his own hands.
Unfortunately, they would not have an answer to all this, and the corpse of the defender, like a stone, fell straight down from the tower without a moment's pause, and was suddenly smashed into a puddle of flesh. The surrounding defenders couldn't help but exclaim.
Lin Yi didn't wait for their reaction, he fired a few arrows in succession again, and the arrows were not missing, and each arrow was like a deadly sickle, killing the defenders on the city towers one by one.
After Lin Yi finished shooting the arrow, he didn't look back, but just waved his hand from behind, and he took the lead and rushed straight to the gate of the city tower; The cavalry team behind saw that their general was so brave, and their morale was also greatly boosted, and they followed their generals closely after fatigue, and arrived at the gate of this tower almost in an instant.
Lin Yi was in front, as if he had entered a no-man's land, the defenders on the tower of the city kept shooting arrows at the cavalry team where Lin Yi was, but Lin Yi was always able to dodge, and occasionally a few arrows were about to hit Lin Yi and then Lin Yi used his powerful lock mouth spear to directly hit the moment.
can't help but sigh that he is really a tiger general.
Lin Yi didn't wait for the eyes of others, he turned over and dismounted before and after coming to this gate, and then together with the soldiers, he pushed the siege vehicle straight towards the city gate.
I only heard a deafening knock on the door, and the tall gate of Yancheng was crumbling at the moment, and there was a risk of being knocked open.
It was only then that the defenders on the upper floor of the city panicked.
I thought that I could rely on the tall walls of Yancheng to hold on for three days, waiting for Mr. Panlong's reinforcements to arrive; But he didn't expect that the city would be breached before the dawn of victory.
Now the defenders in the city are just hoping that the gates of this salt city will be stronger, stronger, and able to withstand the heavy siege vehicles.
But this is just their delusion.
I only heard a loud "boom", and the once majestic and tall city gate was actually hit open by Lin Yi's siege vehicle. Suddenly, the city gate collapsed, and Lin Yi's soldiers poured in like a tide.
Lin Yi also followed the first echelon to rush into the city gate, and after seeing him rush in, he shouted loudly at the defenders in the city: "Zhang Yao is dead, those who surrender, don't kill." ”
When the defender heard that General Zhang was dead, whether it was true or not, after trembling for a while, he slowly put down the weapon in his hand unwillingly.
It was only at this time that Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, laughed a few times at the sky of that night with a happy face, and then thought: "Song Ruoyu, you lost this battle after all." ”
