Chapter 379: Plan and Move
Colonel Zuo moved his hand around on the map: "The general can ambush the soldiers on this road, and the general will personally lead the army, and when the front army passes, the general will not move, and a part of the ambush soldiers will be killed first, and when the rear army comes, the general will lead the army to attack again, and he can win in one fell swoop."

Ling Yan pointed to another path and asked, "What about this way?" β
Colonel Zuo said very confidently: "This reinforcement is sent from the nearby grasshopper city, the reinforcement generals are Guo Luo and Sun Qiu, these two people are not resourceful, although I will divide the reinforcements into these four roads, they must pay attention to the main road, so these two must be on the same road; The road that the general pointed out was a small road, and the road was rough and unsuitable for marching. I expected that Guo Luo would only send two lieutenant generals to lead the army from this path, so I didn't need to pay attention to it, just send three generals to ambush. β
Ling Yan nodded again and again, and said admiringly: "General Zuo is really powerful!" Even that counts! Okay, then I'll do what the general said! β
Colonel Zuo pushed the map aside and nodded: "Guo Luo only has the courage of a horseman, and his martial arts are not proficient, so don't worry too much; But that Sun Qiu is Sun Xia's younger brother, and he has a little internal qi method, which is not easy to deal with. β
The name Sun Xia, Ling Yan had seen it in the story of the Three Kingdoms, that person was a military general of the Yellow Turban Army, who had been the leader of Nanyang, but Ling Yan didn't know that Sun Xia actually had a younger brother named Sun Qiu.
"General Zuo, is this Sun Qiu's internal qi very powerful?" Ling Yan asked, although he had never heard of this name, he knew that the Three Kingdoms here were still very different from the Three Kingdoms he knew, so he couldn't take it lightly.
Colonel Zuo snorted: "If you want me to come and see, it will be ten Sun Qiu, so don't worry!" β
Ling Yan smiled: "If that's the case, then I guess I can beat him." β
"Although this enemy is not to be worried, this army is coming out of the city of grasshoppers, and if the general is going to break through this city next, then now is the best time to weaken the enemy's defenders! If he can destroy his entire army, and then take advantage of the victory to attack the grasshopper city, then the city can be owned by the general," Speaking of this, Zuo Colonel hugged his fist towards Ling Yan, "General Yan, the colonel deeply feels the kindness of the general, but there is nothing to repay, this time the reinforcements are coming, it is the heart of the school...... If General Yan can trust me, he will send me to meet the enemy, and I will cut off the head of the enemy general, dedicate it to the general, and take the first merit to dispel the general's doubts! β
Ling Yan hurriedly said: "General Zuo, don't say that!" I didn't dare say it before, but now I definitely believe you! I didn't send you to meet the enemy, it's not because I don't trust you at all, it's just that I see that your body hasn't recovered yet, general, and I'm worried that if you go to the battlefield, you may lose your ......."
Colonel Zuo waved his hand contemptuously: "Deal with them, you can catch them!" Don't say that I have recovered a few percent now, but my internal qi is gone, how can I be afraid of those two! β
Ling Yan hurriedly said, "Yes, yes." Although I haven't met those two generals, I feel that they will definitely not be the opponents of General Zuo...... In this way, I will go back to deploy the matter of meeting the enemy first, and as for whether General Zuo is going to fight, I will think about it again......"
Colonel Zuo didn't say anything, and looked at Ling Yan with a complicated expression.
After Ling Yan said goodbye to Colonel Zuo, he went to prepare to deal with the upcoming Yellow Turban reinforcements.
Ling Yan found Wen Ping, Deng Yi and You Heng, and asked them to lead their troops to ambush on the path, and wiped out all the soldiers and horses on the path. The three of them took the order and left.
After that, Ling Yan thought about it for a while, and after thinking about it, he still felt that it was better for him to take Colonel Zuo to deal with the reinforcements on the main road - Ling Yan's idea was that although Colonel Zuo was more arrogant, he was still coarse and fine, since he felt that those two enemy generals were easier to deal with, then he should not leave ten or nine, and send him to fight, first, he knew the situation of the enemy generals better, and he was more sure of victory; The second is that from this incident, it can also be determined whether Colonel Zuo really surrendered, if Colonel Zuo really killed the general of the reinforcements, then he would definitely not surrender by fraud, because if he killed his own people, the Yellow Turban Army would not spare him.
After making a decision, Ling Yan went to see Colonel Zuo again and said what he thought. Naturally, Colonel Zuo gladly accepted the order, and confidently assured that he would definitely defeat the enemy. Ling Yan was very happy, but he was still a little worried about Colonel Zuo's body. However, under Colonel Zuo's repeated assurances, Ling Yan finally decided to take Colonel Zuo with him, and he estimated that although Zuo Colonel's qi had not fully recovered, it should not be a problem to deal with Sun Qiu.
This time, Ling Yan seemed very calm in dealing with the enemy's reinforcements, without a trace of panic, because he was more sure of the upcoming battle in his heart: he had already occupied the city, so he had the advantage of home field, and he was waiting for work at ease, and he had the help of the left colonel - with these points alone, the hope of victory was ninety-percent.
More than an hour later, Wen Ping and the other three led the army out of the city first. Subsequently, Ling Yan took Lu Gong and Colonel Zuo and led his troops out of the city.
Ling Yan and the others laid an ambush on the hills on both sides of the road behind the city, just waiting for the arrival of the enemy army.
While waiting for the enemy to throw himself into the net, Lu Gong quietly reminded Ling Yan: "General Yan, what Colonel Zuo said is not clear from the truth, the general believes in him so much, I'm afraid it ......"
Ling Yan hurriedly made a gesture secretly to interrupt Duke Lu's words: "General Lu, don't worry, I know what to expect." β
Although Ling Yan said this, Lu Gong didn't look very relieved, and he couldn't help but remind Ling Yan several times, but Ling Yan interrupted him every time.
Colonel Zuo was not far from Ling Yan's side, Ling Yan was worried that Colonel Zuo's words would be heard, and secondly, he also trusted Colonel Zuo more now, so he didn't let Colonel Zuo continue. However, when night fell, but he hadn't seen any movement on the road, Ling Yan's heart couldn't help but feel a little unsteady.
"General Yan, why hasn't this enemy army come yet?" Lu Gong asked Ling Yan in a low voice, "It can't be Colonel Zuo's plan, right?" β
Ling Yan felt a little uneasy in his heart, he didn't answer Lu Gong's words, but walked to Colonel Zuo's side and asked in a low voice, "General Zuo...... Why haven't the enemy come yet? Isn't it...... Is the information wrong? Although Ling Yan was a little suspicious of Colonel Zuo at this time, he was always embarrassed to say it so clearly.
Colonel Zuo frowned slightly, and his eyes were staring at the direction of the road: "General Yan don't be impatient, there is no mistake in the intelligence, wait a while." β
Ling Yan saw that Colonel Zuo's expression was serious, and it seemed that Colonel Zuo didn't look like he was lying to him, so he waited patiently again.
After a while, Ling Yan saw that there was still no movement of the enemy army, and his heart was a little abrupt, so he came to Gong Lu and whispered: "General Lu, I think it may be a little wrong, we have to be careful, if anything happens, we will immediately withdraw to the city." β
Lu Gong looked nervous: "Yes!" β
As soon as Lu Gong's voice fell, Colonel Tingzuo let out a low voice: "General Yan, reinforcements are coming!" β
Ling Yan hurriedly looked over there, and sure enough, a sandstorm appeared faintly in the distance, and the sound of horses' hooves was also heard.
Ling Yan breathed a sigh of relief: it seems that Colonel Zuo didn't lie to him, and there were really reinforcements.
At this time, after Colonel Zuo gave the order to prepare to the soldiers behind him, he shouted to Ling Yan in a low voice: "General Yan, when the reinforcements come, General Lu and I will kill the mountain first, and when the rear army comes, the general will kill again!" β
Ling Yan didn't answer, but secretly gestured to Lu Gong not to answer. After thinking about it, he quietly said to Lu Gong: "General Lu, after a while, General Zuo and I will kill first, and you will intercept and kill the rear army." β
Ling Yan had his intention to assign it like this: up to now, he still had a trace of concern about Zuo Xiao, if Lu Gong killed Zuo Xiao first, in case the situation changed and Zuo Xiao defected, then in terms of Lu Gong's martial arts, he was not Zuo Xiao's opponent at all, then Lu Gong would be in danger; If he went out with Colonel Zuo, even if the situation changed, he felt that he would be able to resist for a while.
Gong Lu naturally understood Ling Yan's intentions, and hurriedly said: "General Yan, the last general is willing to kill first!" Please rest assured that the general should be careful! β
This time, Ling Yan felt that the situation was very complicated, so he didn't agree to Lu Gong's request, but just made an interrupting gesture: "General Lu, when the rear army comes, you will kill it immediately, don't miss the fighter!" β
Seeing that Ling Yan had made up his mind, Gong Lu did not insist any longer, but firmly agreed.
The reinforcements coming from afar, the marching speed was very fast, just now I only vaguely saw the dust in the distance, and after Lu Gong finally agreed, the army had already come to the mountain where Ling Yan was ambushed, not far away, and it was about to come.
Ling Yan fixed his eyes and saw that the army was indeed the Yellow Turban Army: the soldiers were dressed in yellow clothes with yellow belts wrapped around their heads, and several Yellow Turban soldiers in front of them were holding big banners in their hands with the words "Yellow" written on them: Yellow.
Ling Yan looked behind the soldiers and horses of the Yellow Turban Army, and roughly estimated that the front army was only a thousand peopleβthese horses and horses, but it was not difficult to eliminate.
Ling Yan turned his eyes to look at the leader of the team of soldiers and horses: this former army commander, there are two people in front of the other, the former is dressed in dark gray iron armor, holding a red tasseled spear, and his figure is not very tall; The latter was dressed in yellow, similar to that of the Yellow Turbans, except that he rode a horse and held a short sword; And behind these two people, there are two generals on the left and right, who seem to be their lieutenants.
Ling Yan guessed that according to the situation introduced by Colonel Zuo, the person at the front should be Sun Qiu, and the one behind him was Guo Luo.
It may be that these Yellow Turban generals didn't know that Juye City had fallen into the hands of the enemy, and thought that it was the Zuo Colonel defending the city, so their faces were full of lightness - the person at the head had a cold expression and a little arrogant; And the generals behind him actually showed a relaxed smile on their faces, as if they were not going to the battlefield, but to the banquet.
Seeing that this team of soldiers and horses was careless, Ling Yan was secretly happy in his heart: as long as the enemy army was defenseless, it would be easier to fight!
At this time, I only heard a loud shout from Colonel Zuo, and then I saw him swing his horse and sword down the mountain.
The soldiers behind Colonel Zuo were all Ling Yan's soldiers, and when they saw Colonel Zuo killing alone, they did not immediately follow, but looked at Ling Yan and waited for Ling Yan's order.
Ling Yan was also stunned when he saw Colonel Zuo go out, because the previous agreement was that he and Gong Lu would kill together, but he didn't expect Colonel Zuo to go first alone, and he didn't inform Gong Lu. Ling Yan knew that Colonel Zuo was eager to make meritorious contributions, so he rushed over desperately, but at this time, Ling Yan was worried about Colonel Zuo, for fear that he would make a mistake, so he hurriedly ordered that except for a part of the soldiers and horses led by Duke Lu, everyone else would go down the mountain with him.
When the soldiers saw that Ling Yan was also galloping towards the bottom of the mountain, they all rushed down, shouting as they ran.
When the enemy saw the ambush, he immediately confused the formation, but the general standing in the front was not chaotic at all, and shouted a few times to stabilize the army's heart, and at the same time, he ordered the soldiers and horses to set up the battle formation.
Colonel Zuo took the lead, rushed in front of the enemy, waved his long sharp knife a few times, and finally pointed the knife at the general led by the reinforcements.
The military general who was the leader couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Colonel Zuo standing in front of him, and asked Colonel Zuo in great confusion for a while: "General Zuo?" Why are you here? I'm still a thief! β
Colonel Zuo snorted coldly and did not speak.
At this time, Ling Yan also led the army to Colonel Zuo's side. Ling Yan's soldiers saw that the main general was confronting, so no one dared to rush forward to fight first, but they all looked at Ling Yan and Colonel Zuo blankly.
The general led by the enemy army frowned when he saw Ling Yan, and then asked Colonel Zuo: "General Zuo, what does this mean?" I'm Sun Qiu, don't you recognize me? β
Colonel Zuo sneered: "I naturally recognize you!" It's a letter I wrote, asking your brother for help, how can I not know you! β
Sun Qiu looked puzzled: "In that case, why did General Zuo block my way?" β
Colonel Zuo snorted: "Sun Qiu! If I had waited for you to help me, I would have died a long time ago! β
Sun Qiu's expression was complicated, and he didn't follow Colonel Zuo's words, but glanced at Ling Yan: "General Zuo, who is this?" I've never seen one? β
Ling Yan never spoke, and only then did he smile at Sun Qiu: "My name is Ling Yan." β
Sun Qiu looked disdainful: "I've never heard of this name!" He turned to Colonel Zuo, "But is it the person who General Zuo subdued?" β
Colonel Zuo said coldly: "Sun Qiu, let me tell you, I have surrendered to General Yan!" To intercept you now is to let you have no return! β
When Sun Qiu heard Colonel Zuo's words, he was taken aback: "General Zuo! What are you talking about! β
Colonel Zuo laughed wildly, then brandished his long sharp knife and pointed at Sun Qiu and the military general behind him: "What I said is that I will behead your Sun Qiu and Guo Luo today and present them to General Yan!" β
Sun Qiu was shocked and angry: "General Zuo, are you ...... Sure enough, the enemy army was defeated! β
Colonel Zuo snorted and said, "Naturally, it's dropped!" Sun Qiu, if you are still a little smart, quickly dismount and surrender, so as not to lose your head! β
Sun Qiu's eyes widened in anger, but Guo Luo behind him shouted angrily: "Colonel Zuo! How dare you betray the Celestial Army! β
Colonel Zuo sneered: "What if it's betrayal?" Just because you still want to kill me? β
Sun Qiu said angrily: "General Zuo, the 'General Rengong' treats you well, why do you want to surrender to the enemy!" β
Colonel Zuo sneered: "Surrender is to ask for the heads of the two of you!" β
Sun Qiu was furious: "Okay! You've already surrendered the rebels, so we don't have to talk nonsense! Let's see if you can kill me today, or if I can kill you traitor! β
Colonel Zuo laughed wildly: "You two are attacking together, why am I afraid!" β
Sun Qiu also sneered loudly: "Haha! Left school! When you came to the book before, it was said that most of the internal qi in your body was consumed! If it was you before, I would still be afraid of you! Now that you are half a wreck, how can you overcome me! After speaking, he waved the red tasseled spear back: "Up!" Kill this traitor! Take back Juno Castle! After shouting this, he took the lead, brandished his spear, and shouted angrily towards Colonel Zuo.
Guo Luo and the Yellow Turban soldiers behind him also rushed towards Ling Yan and Colonel Zuo when they saw the situation.
"Good! Good! Look at me, a 'waste', and kill you all!" Colonel Zuo laughed and rushed out with a long sharp knife.
Ling Yan hurriedly ordered the entire army to rush and kill.
The two armies fought in an instant.
Colonel Zuo rushed forward and fought with Sun Qiu, Guo Luo and the two lieutenant generals.
Ling Yan was worried that Colonel Zuo would lose, so he hurriedly pulled out the Moon Cutting Knife and was about to step forward to help Colonel Zuo, but was intercepted by two adjutant generals of the enemy army.
Ling Yan held his breath and quickly gathered his internal qi, and a white light suddenly appeared on the Moon Slashing Knife, and he exchanged hands with the two deputy generals.
When it comes to martial arts, Ling Yan is really not good, he can barely cope with a military general, but if two people attack back and forth at the same time, no matter whether the martial arts of those two people are high or low, Ling Yan can't bear it.
The two lieutenant generals, one on the left and one on the right, attacked Ling Yan.
Ling Yan relied on the internal qi on the Moon Slashing Knife to withstand the attack of one of them, but the spear of the other person stabbed into Ling Yan's shoulder at the same time.
Ling Yan endured the severe pain, seeing that the situation was urgent, he hurriedly waved the moon slashing knife in front of him, and with the other hand, he took the opportunity to take out a pistol and fired four shots at the heads of the two lieutenants.
In such a close situation, Ling Yan was still very confident in his marksmanship.
The two lieutenants fell at the sound of the gunshot, turned over and fell off their horses, and remained motionless, one of them had a hole in his head, and the other had two in his head, and blood gushed out of the hole.
Ling Yan hung his hand weakly, and the pain in his shoulder made him almost unable to hold the gun. He was still worried about the situation of Colonel Zuo, so he looked ahead.
Looking at this, Ling Yancai really admired Zuo Xiao's martial arts - Zuo Xiao was one against four, but his knife skills were not chaotic at all, and the long sharp knife was flying in his hand, and every blow was just enough to withstand the attack of the enemy general, and he could also take the opportunity to counterattack with a knife.
"This Zuo Colonel is not only profound, but even his martial arts are so powerful!" Ling Yan sighed secretly in his heart.
However, after all, he was besieged, and after Colonel Zuo picked a lieutenant general, he seemed to be gradually losing his strength.
Ling Yan knew that in terms of Zuo Xiao's own martial arts, he would never be defeated by those four enemy generals, but now that Zuo School's qi had not recovered, his physical strength must have weakened a lot, so it was indeed a little difficult for him to fight with four people at the same time at this time.
Therefore, Ling Yan hurriedly swung his knife and rushed over - his other hand holding the gun was already so painful that he couldn't lift it at all, and the situation was urgent, so he had to fight with the Moon Slashing Knife.
When Ling Yan just rushed over, Guo Luo also abandoned Zuo Colonel and ran towards Ling Yan with a big knife.
