Chapter Twenty-Eight: Mr. Arrives
Did Song Ruoyu really lose this battle?
Just when Lin Yi was happy to capture this salt city, he suddenly felt the ground under his feet faintly shake, and then he heard the deafening sound of horses' hooves and gushing shouts from outside the city.
"What's going on?" When Lin Yi heard this, he felt a little wrong, and immediately questioned the soldier next to him.
Of course, the soldiers next to them also felt the sound of horses' hooves outside the city, but they were inside the city, and they didn't know what was going on, that is, you look at me, I look at you, and they looked at each other and didn't know how to answer.
At this moment, a group of soldiers stumbled in from outside the city gate, and they saw that the soldiers were disheveled and embarrassed, as if they had just won a great battle, but as if they had fought a great defeat.
As soon as they rushed in, they saw this Lin Yi with sharp eyes, and they sprinted all the way to Lin Yi, and said in a panic: "Will ...... General, the rear of our army was ...... Attacked by an unknown enemy, and suffered heavy losses, General. ”
When Lin Yi heard this, he secretly sighed "not good", and then immediately got on the horse and rushed out of the door.
As soon as he walked out of the gate of this Yancheng, Lin Yi saw with sharp eyes that the rear of his army was crowded, and the flags were chaotic, not only his Lin Yi's banner and the banner of Daliang, but also other flags seemed to be mixed in it, but because it was at night, he couldn't see what flag it was for a while.
Lin Yi faintly had a bad premonition in his heart, although he had just captured this salt city, but it was not yet hot in his hand, but there was such a thing.
Lin Yi didn't wait, and when he saw this scene, he immediately shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Wait with me and see what's going on." After finishing speaking, without waiting for the soldier to reply, he took the lead and rushed directly towards the rear of the army.
The soldiers under his command saw that this General Lin was so brave, so they worked separately, some stayed to take care of the Jin army that had just surrendered, and some of them didn't say a word, and directly followed Lin Yi.
They had experienced another victory this time, and the Yancheng they captured was already the fifteenth city since the beginning of this month, and this all depended on Lin Yi's resourcefulness and courage. So I was already sure in my heart that it was right to follow Lin Yizhun.
After a short time, Lin Yi had already led them to gradually approach the place where the rear army was located, and only then did he faintly see clearly that the words "Jin" and "Song" were written in the hundreds of fluttering flags.
When Lin Yi saw it, he only felt shocked in his heart, and he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and froze in place, but on the surface, he was still silent, just staring straight at the hundreds of banners of the Jin army.
Song Ruoyu has arrived? However, according to the report from his subordinate spies, it was said that Mr. Panlong would not be able to reach the outskirts of Yancheng in at least three days, and it was only the second day, so how could he arrive so quickly.
Could it be that Song Ruoyu is also marching in the starry night?
Before Lin Yi could come up with a reason, he suddenly heard the sound of panicked horses' hooves next to him, and then a general appeared beside Lin Yi.
I saw that the general looked flustered and discouraged, and after seeing Lin Yi, he stumbled off the horse and knelt down with a "plop" to this Lin Yi.
Lin Yi knew that something big must have happened, so he asked calmly, "General Lei, what's wrong?" ”
It turned out that this person was General Nalei.
When General Na Lei heard Lin Yi ask him, his hand shook unconsciously, and Emperor Trembling replied, "General...... General, the aid of the Jin Kingdom...... Reinforcements, here. ”
When Lin Yi heard this, he lowered his face and said coldly again: "What's the matter, didn't our army spies say that Song Ruoyu will not be able to reach this Yancheng until tomorrow at the earliest?" Why didn't you arrive before dawn? ”
After listening to Lin Yi's question, General Lei was shocked and said in a trembling voice; "This ...... I don't know, our news does say that Song Ruoyu will come to this Yancheng in three days, and it is also ...... I don't know how I'll arrive today..... today. ”
Lin Yi no longer listened to his explanation, just waved his hand at him, and General Lei immediately closed his mouth and said no more.
Lin Yi stared at the location of the Jin army not far away with cold eyes, paused, and then said to General Lei beside him: "Pass my general's order, the front army will enter the city as soon as possible, reorganize the soldiers and horses, replenish grain and grass, and count the materials in the city, ready to defend against the siege of Song Ruoyu's army at any time." ”
When General Lei heard this, he couldn't help but wonder: "That...... General, what to do with the rear army of the Chinese army? ”
Lin Yi heard General Lei's words, the corners of his mouth slowly raised, and then stared straight at the banner of the Jin army in the distance with a rather playful look.
After a pause, he then turned his head and said coldly to General Lei: "The middle army and the rear army, go with the general, and meet that Song Ruoyu." ”
As soon as the words fell, he took the lead, and rushed towards the position where Song Ruoyu's army was.
As soon as General Lei heard this, he was stunned in his heart, and suddenly a lightning bolt crossed in front of him, and he only saw that Lin Yi riding his jujube red war horse was a stray arrow and dark arrow regardless of the battlefield, and plunged into the battlefield full of gunsmoke and blood and fire in front of him. I couldn't help but let out a low cry of surprise.
Not only General Lei, but also the soldiers under Lin Yi saw that Lin Yi was so brave, and their morale was also high, and they rushed to the front one after another.
Of course, Lin Yi knew that he might have fallen for Song Ruoyu's trick. Otherwise, how could things be so coincidental, when he had just broken through this salt city, Song Ruoyu's army would have been killed in a blink of an eye.
Lin Yi thought that he still knew Song Ruoyu very well, so he guessed that Song Ruoyu must have taken advantage of the fact that his army was exhausted from attacking the city to take advantage of the fire to rob, and wanted to exhaust his three armies alive.
But how could Lin Yi let Song Ruoyu get his wish?
In the past, although Lin Yi was very arrogant, he also had to admire Song Ruoyu's way of using soldiers; But this time, Song Ruoyu made a little omission.
It's that he would never have expected that Zhang Yao would go to rob him Lin Yi's camp, and then he wouldn't know that he would capture Yancheng, and now he only needs to enter the city to hold on, so if Song Ruoyu doesn't spend ten days and half a month, he can't think of taking Yancheng down.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi didn't worry too much.
After all, if he really loses to Song Ruoyu on the frontal battlefield, he can also retreat to Yancheng and wait for his reinforcements to arrive, he is not Zhang Yao, if he is to defend the city by himself, with the defensive conditions of Yancheng, coupled with the abundant materials and grass in the city, the result must be far better than Zhang Yao.
In fact, Lin Yi didn't have to go to fight Song Ruoyu's army head-on, he only needed to retreat into Yancheng immediately to defend it, then Song Ruoyu had nothing to do.
Of course, ordinary generals would adopt such a method, but he is different, he is Lin Yi, the dignified Liang Golden Spear Marquis, the general of Zhenxi, and the eldest son of Lin Changhai. Lin Yi has his own pride in his heart.
He really wanted to meet Song Ruoyu for a while, after all, it had been too long since the last direct confrontation between the two, and now Lin Yi couldn't wait to compete with this Song Ruoyu again.
Thinking about it, Lin Yi unconsciously gradually increased the speed of his horse, and soon came to the position where the rear army was.
Sure enough, as soon as he came here, Lin Yi saw the Jin army flag flying high in the distance, and under that banner, there was a person standing on horseback, wearing a robe and a long sword at his waist, who was it not Song Ruoyu?
When Lin Yi saw it, he actually laughed, and the laughter was earth-shattering, like a tiger roaring and a dragon roaring, which was deafening.
Unexpectedly, the soldiers of the two armies were frightened one after another, they all stopped the movements in their hands, and couldn't help but look up, and saw Lin Yi standing in front of him with a horizontal gun, exuding terrifying pressure all over his body, and the pressure pressed the soldiers almost out of breath.
The battlefield that was chaotic and noisy just now turned out to be quietly quiet. Unconsciously admired Lin Yi's pride and courage.
Lin Yi paused, and then slowly walked out of the front of the formation with his war horse on his leash, and walked towards the center of the battlefield.
The generals who followed Lin Yi saw that they wanted to stop it.
Lin Yi didn't wait for them to speak, and then waved his hand behind him, so that they didn't have to worry, but his eyes were staring at Song Ruoyu's position in a daze, and without saying a word, an inexplicable confidence and joy slowly appeared on his face.
Song Ruoyu saw that Lin Yi was so excited when he met him, and he didn't panic, he just smiled slightly, and then rode his horse towards the center slowly.
Two people and two horses, one red and one white, just like that, they met on the battlefield in Yancheng.
