Chapter 347: Internal Qi Comparison
Ling Yan thought about it and felt that there was no problem, so he let everyone leave. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
On this day, Ling Yan was discussing the details of the night battle with Kuai Liang and others, and it was not until nightfall that Ling Yan felt that all the details had basically been taken into account, so he sent Lu Gong and others, who attacked the back gate, left gate and right gate of Juye City, to lead the troops to set off first, and instructed them to be sure to hide when marching, and not let the enemy find out.
Subsequently, Ling Yan sent Yang Feng and Zhang Yi to lead two soldiers and horses to ambush in the dense forest outside the city.
An hour later, Ling Yan and Yu Yigen also led a force to set off, before leaving, Ling Yan instructed the butcher and others to carefully guard the camp, even if the possibility of the enemy robbing the village was almost zero, but Ling Yan still asked them to be cautious just in case of emergency. Naturally, the butcher happily agreed.
On the way to Juye City, Ling Yan wanted to understand the character of Li Damu in detail, so he asked Yu Yigen: "General Yu, Li Damu also knows the divine law, right?" β
Yu Yigen nodded and said, "Yes...... Among the generals under General Chu's account, there are only a few who know a little about the magic law, and Li Damu is the general with the highest mana. β
Ling Yan nodded: "Then if his mana is unleashed, what will it look like?" β
After thinking about it, Yu Yigen said: "I have only seen him use it a few times, and every time he casts a spell, it is from his hands, an indigo ball is emitted, and the ball is like a hidden weapon, which can shoot directly into the body, killing people!" The power is not to be underestimated! When Yu Yigen said this, the look on his face was nervous.
Ling Yan breathed a sigh of relief: Listening to Yu Gen's description, Li Damu's internal qi should only be in the initial stage. He smiled and asked Yu Yigen an irrelevant question: "General Yu, do you know Bai Bo?" β
"Ahh Yu Yigen snorted, "I've heard of this person, he is also a Yellow Turban general, but he seems to be guarding a place far away, and he seems to have been defeated by the enemy." β
Ling Yan sighed in his heart: The intelligence and communication work of the Yellow Turban Army is really not flattering! But he said, "Yes...... What does General Yu think Bai Bo's mana is compared to Li Damu? β
Yu Yigen only thought for a moment: "Li Damu should be inferior!" Bai Bo is the general under the account of the 'Digong General'! Naturally, the mana should be much higher than Li Damu. β
"Hmm." Hearing Yu Yigen say this, Ling Yan was completely relieved.
Along the way, Ling Yan thought about this plan from beginning to end again, wanting to see if there was anything missing, until he thought about it several times and made sure that there were no oversights, and he was already able to see Juye City from a distance. At this time, Ling Yan couldn't help but smile slightly, as if he saw that Juye City was already in his pocket.
Ling Yan ordered to step up the march.
When he was about to march under the city gate, Ling Yan saw that the soldiers in the city had spotted them, and immediately retreated to the city tower in a panic.
Ling Yan came to the city gate.
Suddenly, in the originally brightly lit city, all the torches were extinguished in an instant, and it was dim for a moment, and only the torches of the soldiers of Ling Yanjun illuminated a little nearby.
Then, I heard Li Damu's laughter: "Haha! You yellow-haired boy, you were defeated last time, but you still dare to come! β
Ling Yan could only vaguely see the outline of a few vague figures in the city, and it was estimated that the silhouette in the middle should be Li Damu, so he smiled and said: "I was careless last time, of course I won't suffer that kind of loss this time!" I'd like to see what else you can do! β
Li Damu in the city laughed wildly: "Haha...... The day before yesterday, I robbed your camp from behind, and you are lucky; Who knew that you really don't know whether you live or die, and you dare to come again this time! β
Ling Yan felt funny: What kind of trick is this? smiled and said: "I came here to earn your city, I didn't earn it last time, of course I have to come again this time." β
"Humph!" Li Damu in the city sneered, "Just with you, do you still want to earn my city?" Don't talk about you, even if you raise a whole city and rebel army to attack the city, what am I afraid of! β
Ling Yan smiled: "Ah! Is it? It's very arrogant, so why did you extinguish the torches in the city? β
Although Ling Yan couldn't see Li Damu's expression, he could still imagine Li Damu's expression at this time: he was hit by the sore spot, and his face naturally couldn't see anywhere.
Li Damu didn't say anything for a long time, and suddenly said angrily: "Yu Yigen! You actually betrayed the Yellow Turbans and went to join the rebels! β
Yu Yigen, who was beside Ling Yan, raised his knife and pointed at the city, and said angrily: "Phew! Li Damu! You dog thief! I was captured by General Yan that day, and you didn't send troops to rescue me! General Houyan wrote to you, you didn't care about my life or death, how should you talk about this! In vain, I treat you as a brother, and you are so cruel! β
Li Damu sneered: "Hmph! This only blames you for your inferior martial arts, and was captured by the rebels so easily, how can you blame me! I thought that you were strong in martial arts, so General Chu sent you to assist me in defending the city, if I had known that you were a straw bag, I would not have let you come to Juye City that day! Hum! Not to mention coming to save you! How could I ignore General Chu's explanation for the sake of a useless person and pour the soldiers defending the city to save you? What about brothers? β
Yu Yigen was furious, his face was pale, and his beard stood on end in anger.
Li Damu's words, not only Yu Gengen was furious when he heard it, but even Ling Yan couldn't help but scold: "Li Damu! You're cowardly! Why deceive yourself anymore? Why didn't you go out of the city to fortify that day and let General Yu go? You obviously see that there is a difference in General Yu's army, why don't you go out of the city immediately to rescue him? Later, I was robbed of the camp and forced to withdraw my troops, so why didn't you dare to go out of the city to cover up and kill? Hum! After talking for a long time, I don't think you're a fierce general, but just a coward! β
Li Damu didn't know if it was because of his weak heart or what, he snorted coldly, and said after a while: "General Chu ordered me to guard this city, I naturally have to keep it in mind, how can I easily go out of the city and fall in your favor?" β
Yu Yigen said angrily: "Okay! I'm going to attack the city now, but I want to see how you 'hold on to it.'" β
Li Damu also said sharply: "Okay! Good! I'd like to see how you two nobodies make money on my city! Hum! I will get rid of a rebellious person for General Chu today! Shoot the arrows! β
Suddenly a row of figures appeared on the city, and immediately a large number of arrows were shot down from the city.
The soldiers of Ling Yanjun desperately resisted, and Yu Yigen was furious and shouted and ordered: "Release the arrows!" β
The archers of Ling Yan's army immediately stood in a row and also fired arrows towards the city.
However, this archery is also learned, and archery at a high level is naturally much more advantageous than shooting upward at a low place.
Seeing that his archers had little effect on the enemy, Ling Yan was killed by a lot of arrows from the city, so he was in a hurry, and hurriedly drew his sword and waved: "Brothers! Besiege! β
With Ling Yan's order, thousands of soldiers rushed forward with a shout.
Ling Yan saw Li Damu's figure flashing and disappeared from the city tower. And the archers in the city still threw arrows at the city one after another.
The soldiers who rushed to the city immediately set up a ladder, and then quickly climbed up the tower one after another.
However, the arrows on the tower rained down, and sometimes stones fell down the city, and the soldiers who climbed were smashed down the ladder one after another, and the wailing was endless.
Seeing his soldiers fall one after another, Ling Yan was extremely anxious, originally if there was a little light in the city, he could take out his gun and shoot it, even if he wasted some bullets on the soldiers, it was better than his own soldiers being constantly killed, but now the city was dim, even if Ling Yan took out the gun, he couldn't see the people in the city clearly at all, and firing a few shots indiscriminately was tantamount to wasting bullets.
Thinking like this, Ling Yan suddenly thought of a way, so he immediately ordered: "Change to 'rocket'!" Ignite the arrows and shoot them! β
As soon as Ling Yan finished speaking, he heard a huge dull "crunch" sound on the city tower, and then, in less than five seconds, the city suddenly flashed with firelight, and it lit up in an instant, and then there were three "whirring" sounds, only to see three dazzling huge "fireballs", dragging a long golden "tail", flying straight into the air from the city tower, and after drawing a spectacular arc in the air, it smashed towards Ling Yan's position.
Ling Yan was startled and hurriedly hid backwards.
I saw the three fireballs, "dong dong dong" three loud bangs, smashed not far in front of Ling Yan. Each of those fireballs was bigger than a man. Some of the soldiers who were smashed were not burned to death by fire, but directly smashed into pulp! The fireball smashed to the ground, and the small half of the sphere actually smashed directly into the groundβthe strength of the fireball can be seenβand the fragments of flames that flew out, each the size of a man's palm, flew in all directions, and the soldiers who were splashed were seriously injured or killed.
Ling Yan was shocked, he knew that this was the "flame stone" that Yu Yigen was talking about, but he heard that people said that he was not shocked by what he saw with his own eyes. What he didn't expect was that this burning stone would be so big and powerful! If he hadn't run fast, he might have been hit by the shards of the flame stone.
Three "flame stones" had just been thrown on the city here, and soon, Ling Yan heard the sound of "crunching" on the city tower, and judging by his judgment, Ling Yan also knew that it was the sound of the soldiers in the city pulling the stone-throwing lever.
Ling Yan was startled, and hurriedly ordered: "Immediately retreat!" β
Those archers and the soldiers beside Ling Yan immediately retreated. This created a peculiar scene: there were a large number of Ling Yan's soldiers trying to climb up to the top of the city; Behind the soldiers, however, there was no one; Behind a large area of emptiness, it was Ling Yan and all his soldiers and horses.
However, the guards in the city did not give up throwing the "Flame Stone" because of Ling Yan's retreat.
"Huh", "Huh", "Huh", there were three more howling sounds of strong winds, and at the same time, three huge fireballs flew towards Ling Yanjun.
"Knock" "Knock" "Knock", three huge dull loud noises sounded, and those three fireballs smashed three more big craters on the land not far in front of Ling Yan.
Fortunately, Ling Yan was prepared in advance this time, and only a few soldiers who were closer were unlucky, and they were hit by the splashing fragments of the stone and died instantly.
Ling Yan was anxious in his heart - if he only relied on brute force to attack the city like this, he would definitely not be able to break through the city gate. At this time, he finally understood that what Yu Yigen said about Juye City was strong and difficult to attack, and it was indeed not a lie.
Ling Yan's eyes looked into the distance, and his heart was so anxious: why haven't the soldiers and horses of the other two ways attacked the left gate and the right gate have not moved?
He was thinking about it when suddenly from a distance, there was a faint shout of killing.
When Ling Yan heard the shout, he was overjoyed, knowing that it must be Lu Gong and Deng Yi who led the other second-way soldiers and horses to attack the city gate.
Ling Yan looked at the city tower in a blink of an eye, and saw that the soldiers in the city seemed to be stunned suddenly, and the flow of arrows shot from the city was also immediately interrupted.
Immediately, Ling Yan saw that the figures in the city began to be chaotic, as if some archers immediately withdrew from the city, but the rest of the archers immediately released arrows towards the city.
Ling Yan guessed that this was due to the lack of defenders in the city, and Li Da saw that the other two gates were attacked, so he transferred some archers from the main gate to support the other two towers.
Ling Yan was secretly happy: If this is the case, then when Wen Ping and the others will attack the back door, Li Damu is no longer able to do anything about it!
After Ling Yan judged this, he immediately shouted and ordered, "All soldiers! Above! All siege! After saying that, he took the lead and rushed over.
When the soldiers saw that the Lord was desperate, they all rushed forward.
The sound of preparing to launch the "Flame Stone" came from the city again, but Ling Yan no longer had any scruples this time, and rushed to the bottom of the city, commanding the soldiers and horses to attack the city.
However, no matter how many ladders were built, the soldiers could not attack the city tower at all, and in the process of climbing, they were either shot by arrows or hit by stones, and a few who were about to climb the city were also cut down by the soldiers defending the city with weapons and fell off the city.
It didn't take long for Ling Yan to hear the shouts of countless soldiers farther away.
Ling Yan was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to step up the siege of the city, everything was going according to his expectations, if nothing else, he thought that Juye City would soon become his bag.
Therefore, although the losses of the attack were very heavy, Ling Yan had no intention of retreating, because he knew that this was a critical moment, and he had to step up the siege at this time, attract some troops from Li Damu, and reduce the siege pressure of the other three city gates, especially the back city gates, so that Li Damu would be at a loss and defeated by besieging from all sides.
As soon as Ling Yan thought of Li Damu's invincible tone just now, and then thought that he must have been extremely flustered at this time, he felt the pleasure of letting out a bad breath in his heart.
He saw that Yu Yigen was also not far away, commanding the soldiers to attack the city. Judging from Yu Gengen's expression, it could be seen that he must have heard the sound of the other three city gates attacking violently at the same time, so his mood was very high, of course, the general's emotions would naturally be transmitted to the soldiers besieging the city. Although the soldiers who kept falling from the tower and died tragically, the morale of those soldiers continued to rise, and they were still undaunted and desperately attacked the city.
After about ten minutes, the soldiers and horses on Ling Yan's side suffered heavy losses, but the defenders in the city seemed to be a little unable to resist, and their actions were full of panic.
In terms of feelings, Ling Yan thought that the back gate should have been breached soon, so he was even more excited in his heart, shouting to attack the city quickly.
Just when Ling Yan thought that Juye City would be able to be taken soon, suddenly, a large number of soldiers appeared on the head of the city, and with it, there were two or three times more arrows shooting down the city tower!
Ling Yan was surprised, and suddenly, Li Damu's presumptuous laughter came from the city tower: "Haha! Hairy boy! But not dead! Count your fortune! β
Ling Yan's feeling at this time can really be described as "shocked". He thought that Li Damu should be in a panic at this time, at least he should be at the back gate to command the defense of the city. But he never expected that Li Damu would appear at the head of the main gate at this time! And what shocked Ling Yan even more was what Li Damu said and his smug tone!
No matter how stupid Ling Yan was, he could have a premonition that something was wrong, but he still couldn't figure it out: why did the soldiers and horses of the four routes attack the city at the same time, but Li Damu can still be as stable as Mount Tai? Don't...... Could it be that he repelled the three lines of soldiers? This...... It's completely impossible! With the little strength of Juye Castle, how could it completely cope with the simultaneous assault on all sides?
Li Damu seemed to see Ling Yan's doubts, and laughed sharply: "Haha...... Do you think your plan is profound? Hum! Do you think that if you attack me Juye Castle from all sides, I will be helpless? Ha ha...... You're stupid! β
Yu Yigen, who was directing the siege, was stunned when he heard Li Damu's words.
Ling Yan was even more shocked - Li Damu's words sounded like the other three soldiers and horses were indeed attacking the city. But since the city is under siege, why can't it be taken? Why is Li Damu still so calm? Don't...... Li Damu has already seen through this plan? However, even if he really saw through this plan, how could he deal with it in the face of enemies on all sides?
Ling Yan really couldn't figure out what was going on with the other three gates, and he really thought that with Li Damu's ability to lead the army and the strength of the city defenders, there was absolutely no possibility of repelling the soldiers and horses of the four routes at the same time!
So after hearing Li Damu's wild words again, Ling Yan still reluctantly replied calmly: "Hmph! Li Damu! This Juye Castle will soon be breached! I wonder if you'll be able to laugh by then! β
Li Damu smiled even more arrogantly: "Okay! Good! I'll see how you breach the city! β
Ling Yan was really anxious, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to fight hard to attack the city, and he was also ready to take the lead and climb the city first.
If Ling Yan really climbed up from the cloud ladder, life and death were really unpredictable, but now he only felt depressed in his heart, and he couldn't care about his life and death at all!
Just when Ling Yan was determined to attack the city in person, suddenly, an anxious voice came from behind him: "General Yan! β
Ling Yan hurriedly looked back and saw a soldier running towards him with a whip on his horse.
At this moment, Ling Yan somehow had a premonition in his mind: the situation was already very unfavorable for them!
