Seeing that the internal air wave of the city gate was fierce, and his soldiers could not rush forward one after another, Ling Yan was so anxious that he wanted to rush forward with his horse in person. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this moment, he saw a few people, and ran towards Ling Yan in a panic, looking back as he ran, looking frightened.

The position where Ling Yan was standing was not directly facing the city gate, but on the left side of the city gate, so after those people poured out of the city, they naturally ran forward, and there were only these few people who changed directions and came to Ling Yan like this.

Ling Yan hurriedly shouted at the people: "Don't panic, everyone! Feel relieved! I'll protect you! ”

Perhaps it was Ling Yan's comfort that played a role, and after those people ran to Ling Yan's side, they stopped, although there was still a look of fear in their eyes, they looked better than before.

Ling Yan didn't care about appeasing these people anymore, the most important thing for him now was how to break through the city gate!

Ling Yan saw his soldiers fall one after another, and in a hurry, he raised his pistol and was about to ride his horse towards the city gate.

At this time, he suddenly heard a shout beside him: "General Yan! Watch out for your back! ”

Ling Yan has always been a person who has never dared to compliment himself on his ability to respond to emergencies, but this time, I don't know if it was nervousness or what, he actually played a super long time - after hearing the shout behind him, he didn't think about it, he fell on the horse's back, and then his center of gravity was crooked, and he fell off the horse along the horse's back. At the same time, he saw a blue internal air wave, which brushed Ling Yan's body, went straight up, and rushed into the night sky.

When Ling Yan fell off the horse, his two hands were still holding the reins of the horse, so his body shook and barely supported it, without falling to the ground.

"Ahh Yes! Sorcery! Demon Law ......" An elderly person beside Ling Yan looked at the blue internal qi in horror and fell to the ground in fright.

When Ling Yan was panicking, he saw with the peripheral vision of his eyes that behind him, another cloud of internal qi appeared.

Ling Yan had a limit reaction: as soon as his hands were loosened, he fell to the ground.

At the same time, there was another internal air wave, which went straight towards the position where Ling Yan had just stood, and sent it over, piercing straight into the body of the horse.

The horse neighed, raised its hooves and surged forward.

After Ling Yan fell to the ground, he rolled over, quickly glanced around with his eyes, and raised his hand to shoot at a person who looked like a common person.

Maybe Ling Yan was a little nervous, and his marksmanship was a little inaccurate, but this shot hit the man's stomach.

The man snorted, but after falling to the ground, he ignored himself, raised his arm again, and pointed his palm at Ling Yan, ready to send another internal qi wave.

But this time he couldn't send it out - Lu Gong arrived from behind and shot the man in the throat.

Ling Yan gasped for breath, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead - his life was really hanging by a thread just now, and he almost died!

Lu Gong rushed to Ling Yan and said anxiously, "General Yan! Are you okay! ”

"It's okay," Ling Yan stood up, looked at the man, and said secretly in his heart, "Damn, I've fallen into Colonel Zuo's trick again!" ”

Lu Gong also looked at the man: "This person ......"

"He's not a commoner, he's a Yellow Turban soldier under Colonel Zuo in disguise......" After Ling Yan finished speaking, he smiled gratefully at Duke Lu, "General Lu, thank you, you saved my life." ”

Lu Gong didn't have the heart to think about this, so he quickly got off the horse and said, "General Yan, get on the horse quickly, otherwise it's too dangerous!" ”

Ling Yan hurriedly said: "No, General Lu, you get on the horse, don't worry about me!" I don't ride a horse, I can still fight! ”

Lu Gong was anxious and almost cried: "General Yan! Please get on the horse! For generals, there can be no war horses! The last general will die in battle, and it is not a pity! ”

Ling Yan was extremely moved, but he also knew that now was not the time to be moved, and if he continued to be humble, the war would be over!

Ling Yan didn't push anymore, immediately turned over and got on his horse, and then said to Lu Gong: "General Lu, follow me closely!" ”

"Yes!" Lu Gong replied loudly.

Ling Yan quickly looked at the people beside him, but when he saw those people, his eyes were shocked, and they were all stunned.

Ling Yan saw that none of them looked like the soldiers of Colonel Zuo, so he ignored them and looked towards the city gate.

At the same time as Ling Yan looked at the city gate, a large number of people poured out from the gate, some of these people were disheveled, and they were suddenly called out in their sleep, and in a hurry, they naturally had no time to tidy up their clothes and pants.

It seems that Colonel Zuo really has no other tricks to think of.

Although Ling Yan felt that Zuo Xiaoxiao had exhausted his donkey skills, Zuo Xiao's last stubborn resistance was really a ruthless move.

If Ling Yan was a Yellow Turban thief like Colonel Zuo and Zhang Mancheng, then this strategy might not be of much use - if the two armies fighting against each other were the kind of generals who did not regard human life as human life, then what was the use of letting the people be "shields"? It's just a matter of letting the attacking side go on a killing spree again.

But Ling Yan is not that kind of person, although he can't say how good he is in character and learning, but he is still very kind and sympathetic to the weak, besides, he is still studying medicine, and he knows more about the preciousness of life than others. So even if he is forced to do so, he will never do anything to hurt the weak.

Colonel Zuo is a resourceful person, he may have seen through Ling Yan's essence, so he used such a despicable move.

Seeing that more than a dozen people in the city had fallen, Ling Yan was worried that the casualties would be greater after a while, but he didn't know what to do.

At this moment, about ten more figures appeared on the city's head, and immediately after, several internal air waves struck down from the city's head and hit Ling Yan's army.

Ling Yan was startled, raised his hand and was about to shoot again, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a familiar "boom" sound.

Ling Yan was shocked: this sound was too familiar to him, it was exactly the same as last time - the sound of the instrument that fired the "Flame Stone" moving!

Ling Yan quickly looked towards the city gate: Wen Ping and the other generals were leading the soldiers to rush forward, but the people rushed out in reverse, forming a "countercurrent", hindering Wen Ping and the others from rushing and killing, and also causing the formation to immediately mess up; Some people rushed towards Ling Yan's position again, disrupting Ling Yan's position.

Ling Yan was anxious in his heart, and hurriedly said to Lu Gong under the horse: "General Lu, get on the horse quickly, come behind me!" ”

Lu Gong hesitated: "This ......"

Ling Yan hurriedly said, "General Lu, come up quickly!" Prepare to retreat! ”

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, and then jumped on the horse.

Ling Yan immediately ordered: "All retreat!" After saying that, he shouted to the people: "If anyone wants to retreat with us, I welcome!" If you don't want to go with me, take refuge in the city and go back to the city!" ”

As soon as Ling Yan finished speaking, he heard Colonel Zuo's laughter resounding from the top of the city: "Hehe, General Yan!" Why retreat? If you want to attack the city, come and attack it! ”

Ling Yan looked towards the city, although he heard Colonel Zuo's voice, he didn't notice that there was more Colonel Zuo on the dim city.

"Humph! Left school! I didn't even dare to show up, and I still said big things! Ling Yan said angrily to the city, "If there is a kind, come out, let's come one-on-one!" The Great War Once! ”

"Haha! The last battle, let you get away with it, but you don't know it yet! It's to fight again, and what am I afraid of! It's just to deal with unknown juniors such as You, why do you need me to come out! After Colonel Zuo finished speaking, there was another burst of wild laughter.

Ling Yan's face flushed angrily, and suddenly, Lu Gong behind him scolded: "Phew! The faint of heart! If you have no courage, you will say that you have no courage, and that those vain words are what they do! ”

As soon as Lu Gong's voice shouted, it became very sharp, and he suddenly shouted, Ling Yan was defenseless, this time, Ling Yan was not only startled, but also the random eardrum was buzzing.

If you look at it from the side, Ling Yan and Lu Gong are riding the same horse, and they are still shouting under the city, which makes people really laugh, but if they are in the middle of the battlefield, they are definitely not in the mood to pay attention to these.

After Lu Gong finished scolding, Colonel Zuo didn't scold anything back, but heard a few sneers from the city, followed by a few mechanical friction sounds.

Ling Yan was shocked, and hurriedly ordered again: "Retreat quickly!" ”

Ling Yanjun trotted back quickly.

At this time, the city gate slowly closed with a "creak", and from the city gate, there was no internal air wave.

Wen Ping and the others were about to lead the soldiers to forcibly attack the city, but someone told him Ling Yan's order, although Wen Ping and the others were unwilling and gathered anger, but "the military order cannot be violated", he still ordered a retreat.

Just when Ling Yan retreated more than 100 meters, he saw a sudden fire at the head of the city, and then "huh", "huh", "huh" and "huh" three times, three huge, burning stones, dragging their golden tails, were thrown from the city.

A small number of the people who were driven out retreated with Ling Yan; Most of them ran to the base of the city, waiting for the war to pass, and then returned home; Only a small number of people, I don't know if they were stupid because they were scared, or they didn't decide which direction to run, stood in the position of the position that Ling Yan's army had just placed, but they were either crushed to death by the falling boulders, or burned to death by the flames on the stones.

"Haha......" I don't know if Colonel Zuo saw Ling Yan's retreat, or saw the tragic situation of the people being stoned to death, in short, his laughter came from the city.

Ling Yan led the army to retreat towards the forest, and the laughter of Colonel Zuo that sounded behind him made his heart chill - he really couldn't think of how a person could be cold-blooded to such an extent? If his opponent's soldiers were stoned to death, he laughed happily and seemed to make sense; Even if he doesn't care about his own people being killed, it can barely be said that he will do anything to win, and his soldiers are tools that can be used at will; But innocent people were killed, and it was the people in his own city, the people who farmed and raised their soldiers, and they were killed by their own sharp weapons, and he could still laugh so happily, it could no longer be said that he was careless of human life, this is simply perverted!

Ling Yan was resentful in his heart, but he didn't dare to rashly turn around and kill back-Colonel Zuo was no better than Li Damu after all, if Li Damu made this kind of laughter, he would be extremely proud, then he might be able to succeed in turning around and killing a "horse gun"; But Colonel Zuo is a cautious person, and his resourcefulness is far higher than Li Damu's, and even Kuai Liang can't compare to him, if he laughs, he is 100% sure of this victory, so at this time, he can't change the result.

Although Ling Yan was angry, he only cursed in his heart: It seems that this yellow turban thief is really angry, except for a few generals like Yu Yigen, there is no good thing!

Wen Ping led the army to catch up from behind, chased in front of Ling Yan, and said, "General Yan, why are you retreating?" ”

Ling Yan looked back, there was still no light on the head of Juye City, and outside the city gate, there were already corpses all over the field.

Ling Yan saw that they were already some distance away from Juye City, and Colonel Zuo showed no signs of chasing them, so he ordered to slow down the retreat, and then said to Wen Yan a little frustratedly: "General Wen, I think it is difficult for us to attack the city like this...... If it continues to be consumed, the losses will become greater and greater, and the soldiers will die in vain. ”

Wen Ping hurriedly said: "General Yan! Now is the time to siege the city! The Yellow Turban Thief won't last long! If you attack again, you will be able to succeed! ”

Ling Yan shook his head slowly: "Forget it...... In this way, we are just sacrificing the lives of our soldiers in vain...... and the lives of the people......"

Wen Ping was unwilling, and directly asked for orders: "General Yan, the last general will lead the army to attack the city again!" If you can't take the city, the last general won't come to see the general! ”

Ling Yan felt that Wen Ping's "problem" had been made again, but he knew that Wen Ping said this because he had failed several sieges and was anxious in his heart, so he didn't say anything, but naturally he didn't agree to Wen Ping's request.

Wen's request was not approved, so he was naturally very unhappy, but he didn't say anything more.

You Heng glanced back, and then said, "General Yan, how are those people settled?" ”

Ling Yan thought for a moment, and then replied listlessly: "If they want to follow us, let them go to Qianzhai, if they don't want to follow, let them go back to the city." ”

You Heng said: "It is these people who want to go back to the city, and I wonder if the thief will open the city gate and let them in." ”

Ling Yan also felt that judging from Colonel Zuo's character, eighty percent would not allow the people to return to the city.

"Alas! They can do whatever they like, no matter what. Ling Yan thought that this attack had been frustrated again, and his heart was extremely depressed.

Lu Gong had been riding the same horse with Ling Yan before he spoke, "General Yan...... You don't have to take this failure to heart......"

Ling Yan smiled bitterly: How could he not be at ease? He dispatched almost all his troops and horses, but was repelled by dozens of Yellow Turban soldiers of Colonel Zuo! Isn't this a big joke in the eyes of outsiders!

Along the way, the atmosphere was quite dull, and the expressions on the faces of the soldiers seemed to be overshadowed.

Ling Yan never said anything again, because his mind was in a state of extreme confusion - before leaving, his prediction was to capture Juye City, at least to inflict heavy losses on the enemy, but he never expected that he would be defeated so quickly! When the Yellow Turban Army's defense was at its weakest, it was killed so badly by the enemy!

However, there was at least one comfort in Ling Yan's heart: he was not as cruel as Colonel Zuo, and no matter what time he arrived, he still retained a bit of humanity in his heart. He firmly believes in the idiom "the righteous help the unjust".

But no matter what, Ling Yan had to admit that he still failed this time, although Colonel Zuo did not go out of the city to cover the killing, but with his little strength, it was quite not easy to hold the city. In terms of the comparison of troops alone, Ling Yan, who thought he had an absolute advantage, was defeated by Colonel Zuo again, how could this make Ling Yan not depressed!

Ling Yan was thinking about why there was such a result tonight all the way, probably because he was too attentive, and he didn't even notice that he had returned to the camp, or Lu Gong behind him reminded: "General Yan, are we going back to Zhongzhai?" ”

was asked by Lu Gong like this, and Ling Yan woke up: it turned out that he had already arrived in Qianzhai.

"Well, let's go back to Zhongzhai." Ling Yan said weakly.

Lu Gong got off the horse, found a horse from Qianzhai and rode up.

Yang Feng saw Ling Yan leading his troops back, and was about to ask what the results of the battle were, but when he saw that Ling Yan and the others had that kind of depression on their faces, he guessed the result, stepped forward and asked Zhang Yi in a low voice: "General Zhang, siege the city...... Failed? ”

Zhang Yi sighed and nodded.

Ling Yan didn't stop to rest for a while, nor did he say hello to Yang Feng, he rode his horse and continued to walk forward.

You Heng came to the front and asked Ling Yan, "Virtuous brother...... These people ......"

Ling Yan waved his hand: "Just let them stay here." ”

After You Heng went to instruct Yang Feng to settle these people, he followed Ling Yan back to Zhongzhai.

As soon as Ling Yan returned to the camp, he dismounted and waved to the soldiers behind him: "Everyone go back and rest." With that, he returned to his tent without looking back.

After sitting down in the tent, Ling Yan held his head in both hands, frowned, and stared at the bed in a daze-when he was just defeated, he probably didn't have time to think about anything else because of the urgency of the situation, so he didn't feel anything; But the more time passed, the more he felt that this battle was simply inexplicable!

Ling Yan suddenly felt tired, he really didn't want to stay in this Three Kingdoms era anymore, he felt that he was not suitable to stay here at all, let alone a general, and not suitable to lead troops to fight! How he wished he could go back to modern times! Even if he is asked to take a few more exams, he is willing!

"Alas-" Ling Yan sighed helplessly, and then asked the soldiers outside the tent to bring him a bowl of wine.

The soldier answered, and after a while, the wine was brought in, but it was not brought in by the soldier, but Zuo Ci.

When Ling Yan saw Zuo Ci coming in, he smiled reluctantly: "National Teacher, you haven't slept so late?" ”

Zuo Ci put the wine in front of Ling Yan, and then sat down: "General Yan, the defeat of the army is a normal thing, so don't bother too much. ”

Ling Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head, then picked up the wine bowl and drank it all.

"The thief was originally the general of the Yellow Turban Army, and if he broke him, it would be like destroying his pillars. If it was so easy, the thief army would have been slaughtered by the imperial court. Zuo Ci comforted.

After Ling Yan drank a bowl of wine, he heard Zuo Ci's words again, and felt a little better in his heart. He thought about it, Zuo Ci was right, if it was really so easy to defeat the Yellow Turban Army, the imperial court would not have to edict these warlords to crusade against them.
