Chapter 256: Defending is Attacking

Ling Yan was stunned, this was something he hadn't expected at all. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Seeing that Ling Yan didn't speak, Yu Yigen hurriedly added in a panic: "General Yan, I'm not deceiving you!" It's true! When I was in the city before, the soldiers said that the reinforcements would not arrive until tomorrow! I don't know why I came early......"

Ling Yan hurriedly comforted Yu Yigen and said, "General Yu, don't get me wrong, I definitely don't doubt your meaning...... I just can't figure out why this is happening......"

Seeing that Ling Yan didn't blame him or suspect him, Yu Gengen finally breathed a sigh of relief, he thought about it and hesitated, "Maybe...... Is it the Yellow Turban reinforcements Starry Night that is speeding up? ”

Yu Yangen's reminder made Ling Yan get along with something, but what he came up with was a step further than Yu Yangen - Ling Yan guessed that Colonel Zuo deliberately released the news that he would be able to do it tomorrow, and then secretly accelerated the march, thinking of a surprise attack to catch the enemy off guard!

After Ling Yan got along with this, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He knew that it was only at this time that he really understood Colonel Zuo's powerβ€”this was still only in terms of strategy, and he had not yet seen his martial arts.

"Left Colonel...... It's really not simple......" Ling Yan muttered.

Yu Yigen heard Ling Yan's muttering, and nodded hurriedly: "General Zuo has never been defeated in the battle with the soldiers and horses of the imperial court before...... Therefore, the 'General Rengong' used him very much, and also named him the 'Western God General'. ”

Ling Yan really understood why Emperor Xian issued an edict to let Ling Renxiang go to pacify Nanyang and Yingchuan at this time, it was not that Emperor Xian didn't want to use the imperial court headquarters to attack, but that they couldn't attack it, and they couldn't defeat the Yellow Turban Army at all!

Ling Yan suddenly felt a huge pressure pressing on him, he thought that as long as he took Juye before the reinforcements arrived, the rest of the things would be handled easily, but now it seems that Juye City is really a very difficult hard bone to gnaw! Originally, there were plenty of food and grass materials in Juye City, which was easy to attack and difficult to defend, and Li Damu was going to defend it, and there were large defensive equipment like catapults, and now even the reinforcements led by Colonel Zuo and others have arrived! Originally, before the reinforcements arrived, Juye Castle was already difficult to capture, and now it seems that it is even more difficult!

Ling Yan was flustered in his heart, he thought of Wen Ping and the others who attacked the other three gates, if Zuo Colonel had already come to Juye, then it was Wen Ping and the others who had encountered him!

The more Ling Yan thought about it, the more anxious he became, and said to Shan Gen: "We will rescue the village soon, and then we will see how General Wen and the others are!" ”

So, Ling Yan and Yu Yigen hurriedly urged the soldiers and horses to march. As they had traveled for several miles, they suddenly found a troop of men and horses galloping in front of them, which did not look like they were trying to intercept them, but rather looked like a defeated army that had just lost the battle.

Ling Yan fixed his eyes and saw it: that army and horses were also the Yellow Turban Army!

"Why is there another Yellow Turban Army?" Ling Yan frowned and muttered to himself, but he had already made up his mind in his heart to destroy this army of soldiers and horses.

After Yu Yigen took a closer look, he hurriedly said to Ling Yan: "General Yan, this is the Yellow Turban Army, it is the reinforcements sent by it, and the general who is the leader is Bu Ji. ”

Ling Yan ordered the army to stop and wait, and a platoon of archers stood in front of Ling Yan.

The soldiers and horses coming from the opposite side were stunned when they saw that there were enemy troops blocking the way. The military general named Bu Ji at the head stepped forward and stopped not far from Ling Yan and the others.

Bu Ji first glanced at Ling Yan, his eyes were full of disdain, and then his gaze quickly fell on Yu Yangen, but there was some surprise in his eyes.

"General Yu, why are you here?" Bu Ji was a little surprised, and the red tassel gun in his hand pointed at Ling Yan, "Who is this person?" ”

Yu Zhenggen said: "Li Damu is unjust, forcing me to surrender to General Yan, I am now a general under General Yan!" ”

Bu Ji was surprised, and then said sharply: "Hmph! The general of the rebel army, what face to meet people! ”

Yu Yigen said angrily: "Hmph! If not, we'll stand for a hundred rounds! ”

Bu Ji was furious, and he came to fight with Yu Gengen with his gun.

Ling Yan also pulled out the Moon Slashing Knife and went to help Yu Gen, so the three generals fought.

Na Buji's martial arts are not low, Ling Yan and Yu Yigen teamed up, and occupied more than ten rounds with him, but they couldn't defeat him.

Ling Yan was a little anxious, secretly gathered his internal qi, and took advantage of Bu Ji's unpreparedness, swinging his knife and slashing at Bu Ji.

Bu Ji was fighting with Yu Yigen, and suddenly felt a pain in his shoulder, he hurriedly slashed at his shoulder, only to see that the moon slashing knife with internal qi had already slashed his arm.

Bu Ji hurriedly turned around and stabbed Ling Yan with a spear, and Ling Yan hurriedly dodged.

Taking advantage of this vacancy, Bu Ji hurriedly fled on horseback.

When the Yellow Turbans saw that the main general was fleeing, they all fled backwards like a swarm.

Ling Yan and Yu Yigen hurriedly waved their troops to chase and kill.

I don't know if it's Bu Ji's horse or what, after chasing a short distance, Bu Ji easily got out, but most of the Yellow Turban soldiers were covered and killed.

From afar, I saw the wave in a fork in the road, fleeing in the other direction.

Ling Yan was about to chase after him, but Yu Yuhe hurriedly stopped Ling Yan: "General Yan, we might as well let him go." Let's go back to the camp first. ”

Although Ling Yan was unwilling, he also felt that what Yu Gengen said was reasonable, so he agreed, and went to the camp with Yu Gengen.

After walking for half an hour, Ling Yan saw that the road ahead was full of corpses, blood and water flowed all over the ground, and most of the soldiers were from Ling Yanjun's.

Ling Yan saw that this place was not far from the camp, and it must have been the butcher who led the soldiers and horses stationed here. The soldier said that the butcher was dead, and Ling Yan didn't bother to find the butcher's body to determine if he was really dead, the only thing he was worried about now was the comfort of the camp.

So, Ling Yan didn't stop and hurriedly continued to rush forward.

Not long after, Ling Yan saw the camp not far away, and a general led his troops and horses to stand outside the door.

Ling Yan fixed his eyes, but it was Yang Feng.

Ling Yan was a little relieved, and hurriedly ran over with Yu Yigen.

Yang Feng stood in front of the camp gate, at first, he probably didn't see that the coming army was Ling Yan, so his expression was very solemn, but when Ling Yan approached the road, Yang Fengcai's face changed, and he hurriedly clenched his fists and said excitedly: "General Yan!" ”

Ling Yanqu immediately stepped forward: "General Yang, is the camp okay?" ”

Yang Feng replied: "General Hui Yan, the camp is safe. ”

Ling Yan breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "Didn't the Yellow Turban Thief come to Sister Camp?" ”

Yang Feng replied: "The thief army has indeed come to borrow debts and beheaded the former battalion general......"

Ling Yan knew that the former battalion general was a butcher, and he couldn't help but feel very worthless for her, and sighed: The butcher is really pitiful, he just became a "general", and he was killed before he could enjoy it!

Yang Feng continued: "However, General Zhang Yi and I found out that the enemy was interested in it, and we were worried about the north street of the camp, so we hurried back to the camp. ”

Ling Yan exhaled a long breath and said in his heart: It turns out that the wave is really a defeated army that has just been defeated, I said that I saw him just now, and I didn't want to intercept him.

At this time, Yang Feng suddenly asked with a strange expression, "General Yan...... Has the city been captured? ”

Yang Feng looked at Ling Yan's expression, and guessed in his heart that he had not entered the city, but he still asked with the last glimmer of hope.

Ling Yan was extremely frustrated: "No...... Their reinforcements have arrived at Juye Castle. ”

Yang Feng was surprised: "Could it be that Bu Ji is also their reinforcement?" ”

Ling Yan nodded, got off his horse, and walked quickly towards the tent.

Kuai Liang came out of the tent and didn't feel too surprised when he saw Ling Yan coming back, he asked Ling Yan with a nervous expression: "General Yan, the enemy reinforcements have been?" ”

Ling Yan nodded helplessly.

Kuai Liang was even more nervous: "That...... What about them? ”

Ling Yan said with a complicated expression: "I don't know either...... I was attacking the city gate, and someone said that the camp had been robbed and asked me to go back to the rescue, so I immediately withdrew my troops and rushed back......"

Kuai Liang frowned: "If that's the case...... I'm afraid that Zhongye and others will be in danger......"

Ling Yan hurriedly said: "I'm just coming back to see how the camp is, since it's okay, I'll go back now and rescue them!" ”

Kuai Liang nodded: "General Yan, I will also go with you." ”

Ling Yan hurriedly said: "General Kuai, the situation ahead is unclear and very dangerous, you should just guard the village here!" As soon as I saw them, I withdrew them. ”

Kuai Liang thought for a while and agreed: "Okay." ”

Ling Yan didn't dare to delay, and immediately turned over and got on his horse again, taking Yu Yigen and Yang Feng with him, and was about to return to Juye City.

They were just about to march when Ling Yan suddenly noticed that there was a rush of horses' hooves in front of the camp, which sounded like it was in the direction of the net.

Ling Yan and the others immediately became nervous.

Yang Feng was taken aback and said, "It won't be the Yellow Turban Army again, right?" ”

Ling Yan frowned: "No matter who it is, get ready to fight!" ”

Yang Feng ordered the soldiers and horses to set up their positions and prepare to meet the incoming enemy.

However, Ling Yan soon found out that the person who came was not the Yellow Turban Army, but Lu Gong and Deng Yi, who came back with a small number of soldiers.

Ling Yan was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly rode his horse to meet him.

When Duke Lu and Deng Yi saw Ling Yan riding his horse approaching, they hurriedly dismounted and bowed: "The last general is not effective in attacking the city, and the soldiers and horses have suffered heavy losses, so I have come to ask the general to be sentenced to death!" ”

Ling Yan hurriedly dismounted and helped them up: "Two generals, get up quickly!" It's not your fault, and I don't blame you. ”

The two of them stood up, their faces full of guilt. Lu Gongdao: "General Yan...... We could not attack the city, and the enemy army was ambushed, and when we withdrew to the main gate, we did not see the general, so we rushed back together. ”

"Well, well, I know......" Ling Yan didn't care about saying this for the time being, "I was about to go to look for you, since you came back safely, then I will guard the camp here, and I will go to General Wen and them!" ”

Lu Gong and Deng Yi arrived together: "General Yan, please let us go together!" ”

Ling Yan said: "General Deng will stay here to guard the village, and General Lu will go with me." ”

After that, Ling Yan ordered the soldiers and horses to set off immediately to rescue Wen Ping and the others.

The army had just marched for less than half an hour when Ling Yan saw a small group of soldiers and horses galloping towards him.

Ling Yan didn't see who it was, but Lu Gong next to him said loudly in surprise: "It's General Wen!" ”

Ling Yan took a closer look, and it was really Wen Ren who hired them. Next to Wen Ping is You Heng, but there seems to be another person behind You Heng.

Seeing Ling Yan and the others coming, Wen Ping hurriedly rode his horse to Ling Yan's approach, turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee, and clenched his fists and cried: "General Yan! The last general is incompetent and fails to break through the city! The responsibility is heavy, I hope the general will be guilty! ”

Ling Yan hurriedly said: "General Wen ride quickly, let's not talk about these first, wait for the response and then discuss it!" I was about to look for you, and you came back safely, so it would be better! You're alright, General You...... Ah, what about General Zhang Min? ”

You Heng tilted his body, and Ling Yan saw at a glance the person sitting behind You Heng was Zhang Min.

Ling Yan was shocked: "What's wrong with General Zhang?" ”

You Heng said: "General Zhang bravely attacked the city, but was shot twice by the defenders, and was seriously wounded, and he was in danger!" ”

Ling Yan was busy: "Then let's go back to the city quickly, and I'll heal General Zhang's injuries again!" ”

"Okay."

The group quickly returned to the camp. The first thing Ling Yan did was to heal Zhang Min's injuries.

The injuries on Zhang Min's body were more serious, one between the two shot him in the shoulder, and the other shot at the base of his neck.

Ling Yan tried his best to heal Zhang Min's injuries, but the effect was still not very significant, Ling Yan was in a hurry, and hurriedly sent someone to find Zuo Ci to come over.

After Zuo Ci came, Ling Yan hurriedly asked him to take a look at Zhang Min's injuries.

After Zuo Ci checked it, he said: "General Yan, the sword and arrow in General Zhang seem to be poisonous, but this poison is very easy to dissolve, and the general does not need to worry." ”

Ling Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "I also asked the national teacher to heal him." ”

Zuo Ci said: "I will go to the forest to collect blood now to come back, the general does not have to worry, the general thinks that General Zhang has talked about it, and General Zhang's injury is okay for a while." ”

Ling Yan was busy: "National teacher, I'll accompany you, this forest ......"

Zuo Ci smiled: "General Yan, don't worry, I'm only looking for it closely, it's not difficult to find this herb, as long as it's a small amount, I'll come back as soon as I find it, and the old general will go to ...... If you are worried, you can send three or five soldiers with me. ”

Ling Yan thought about it, then agreed, and immediately sent a few shrewd and capable soldiers, Sui Zuoci, out.

Ling Yan left the camp tent and came to his own camp tent, and immediately summoned all the generals to come to discuss the matter.

After everyone arrived, Ling Yan frustrated and announced the result of the defeat of the battle.

After hearing this, Wen Ping immediately knelt on the ground and said with a crying voice: "General Yan! It's all because of the end! The last general failed to kilogram the city in time, and the whole army was defeated, and he could only die to atone for the crime! ”

Ling Yan hurriedly said: "General Wen ride quickly, no one can blame this defeat, if you want to be good, you must also be good to the Yellow Turban thief General Colonel Zuo." ”

The generals were puzzled and looked at each other.

Ling Yan said remorsefully: "It's only to blame me for being careless for not carefully analyzing the situation...... The left colonel released the news that he would arrive in Juye tomorrow, and I easily believed the news, but he arrived here early, so that we were caught off guard......"

Yu Yigen's face showed a look of guilt.

Ling Yan probed and continued: "I thought I could take Juye before the reinforcements arrived, but now that the reinforcements have arrived, I'm afraid that we will have to think of other ways to take Juye......"

Yang Feng was anxious: "General Yan, we will pour all our troops to attack the city, I don't believe it, we can't attack the city!" ”

Ling Yan shook his head: "If it was before, this might work, but now that the reinforcements have arrived, the enemy's strength to defend the city is already sufficient, if it is reckless to attack the city, I am afraid that the losses will be heavy, and it will be difficult to kilogram the city...... What's more, Colonel Zuo is an extraordinary person, and we must not be careless......"

Kuai Liang nodded: "This thief sent people to camp and rob the village in advance, it is indeed not simple to think of this." ”

Ling Yan sighed again, and then turned to the generals and said, "By the way, please tell me about the situation you encountered." ”

Lu Gong stood up first and said: "General Yan, I led the army to ambush outside the gate, and after hearing the sound of killing at the main gate, I immediately ordered the siege of the city...... Unexpectedly, not long after the soldiers in the city suddenly increased, and they also threw boulders, so that our soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses, and after holding on for a long time, I saw that the enemy army was not panicked, and our army did not have many soldiers and horses left, but at this time another Dikun was killed from the side, I could not resist, so I had to retreat and go......"

Deng Yi also arrived: "My situation here is similar to that of General Lu. ”

Ling Yan nodded, and looked at Chaowen Ping and You Heng: "What about the situation at the back door?" ”
