Chapter 428: Leading the Way
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. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
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.
Ling Yan transported his internal qi again, and then swung his knife and slashed at Guo Luo's horse - this is Ling Yan's attack strategy, if he fights hard, he will definitely not be an opponent, and if he cuts the opponent's horse, then no matter how strong the opponent's martial arts are, he will not have a chance to show it again. Although the Moon Chopping Knife itself is not easy to reach the horse's head, the internal qi on the knife body objectively plays a role in extending the blade, so that it is easy to touch the horse's head.
Guo Luo seemed to see Ling Yan's thoughts, and hurriedly raised his hand to use the big knife against Ling Yan's falling moon slashing knife, only to see the two knives collide in the air and collide together.
Ling Yan slammed his arm down, and with the help of internal qi, he slashed the Moon Slashing Knife down.
Guo Luo was not weak, so he took advantage of the situation to circle the short big knife for half a circle, and then chopped it down according to Ling Yan's head.
Ling Yan hurriedly raised his knife to resist again, and the two knives were pressed together again.
Ling Yan gritted his teeth, struggling to resist Guo Luo's big knife, but the Moon Slashing Knife still slowly sank.
Guo Luo smiled sinisterly, as if he had a chance to win.
Ling Yan had a shoulder injury, so he couldn't lift his other hand, otherwise he would have killed Guo Luo with a pistol. But now he can only resist Guo Luo's attack with one hand, but he doesn't know how long he can withstand it.
Ling Yan used the Moon Slashing Knife to resist Guo Luo's short knife while looking for an opportunity.
Suddenly, Ling Yan only felt that the moon slashing knife in his hand was light, but Guo Luo in front of him bowed forward, his eyes were wide open, and from his stomach, chest, and neck, four blue internal air waves pierced, and those four internal air waves penetrated Guo Luo's body, and flew backwards by grazing Ling Yan's body.
Guo Luo's body stiffened for two seconds, then he fell straight down and fell off the horse, falling headlong to the ground.
Ling Yan looked in the direction of the internal air waves, only to see Colonel Zuo stretching out one hand and his fingers facing his direction, and after seeing Guo Luo fall off the horse, Colonel Zuo turned his head and threw the long sharp knife in his other hand at Sun Qiu, and then he moved his other free finger to another lieutenant general, aiming at the body of the lieutenant general, and at the same time, from his fingertips, five more internal qi waves were emitted.
Before the lieutenant could react, he was hit by an internal air wave, rolled over and fell off his horse, and died instantly.
Sun Qiu blocked it with a red tasseled spear, blocked the long sharp knife thrown by Colonel Zuo, and then stabbed at Colonel Zuo with a spear.
Colonel Zuo returned to the horse and retreated, Sun Qiu saw the situation and hurriedly chased after him: "Traitor, where to run!" β
Colonel Zuo ran towards Ling Yan, looking back as he ran.
Ling Yan was afraid that Colonel Zuo would be killed, so after adjusting his breathing, he hurriedly ran to cover Colonel Zuo.
When Colonel Zuo saw Ling Yan coming, he returned to his horse and stopped.
Sun Qiu also reined in his horse, raised his spear and shouted, "Traitor! I'll kill you today!" β
Colonel Zuo sneered and looked at Sun Qiu: "Sun Qiu, with your little kung fu, you want to kill me?" After speaking, he stretched out his two hands, put his palms together, and his fingers were facing Sun Qiu.
Sun Qiu probably understood Colonel Zuo's internal qi moves, so he was greatly surprised when he saw Colonel Zuo make that move, and hurriedly straightened his arm and pointed his palm at Colonel Zuo.
The next scene was that from the fingertips and palms of Zuo Xiao and Sun Qiu, respectively, blue internal qi masses appeared, but in terms of speed and the brightness of the internal air masses, Sun Qiu was obviously inferior to Zuo Xiao - although Zuo Xiao's internal qi was not as good as before.
Colonel Zuo sneered: "It depends on your internal qi, how to resist it!" After speaking, the five internal qi waves emitted from the tips of his fingers and flew towards Sun Qiu.
Sun Qiu roared loudly, and the internal qi in his palm also came out.
The internal air waves of the two of them collided together in the air, but the left school sent five shots, so the internal air waves sent by Sun Qiu only collided with one of the internal air waves of the left school, and the other four internal air waves of the left school, except for the top one that flew into the sky, all hit Sun Qiu.
And the two internal air waves that collided, after an instant of collision, Sun Qiu's internal air waves actually broke the internal air waves of Zuo Xiao and continued to fly towards Zuo Xiao.
Perhaps Colonel Zuo was overconfident in his internal qi strength, so after seeing Sun Qiu's internal qi wave actually break through his internal qi wave and continue to fly towards him, his face changed, and he hurriedly drew a circle with his hands in the void.
Ling Yan was very familiar with this action: Colonel Zuo wanted to protect his body with internal qi.
But no matter how fast Colonel Zuo's reaction was, at such a close distance, and under his unexpected circumstances, it was almost impossible to block the flying internal air waves.
Sure enough, before Colonel Zuo could form a "protective film" of internal qi, Sun Qiu's internal qi wave quickly hit Colonel Zuo's chest.
Ling Yan saw Sun Qiu's internal qi waves, after offsetting part of the strength with Zuo Xiao's internal qi waves, the internal qi strength was obviously weakened a lot, and he thought that with Zuo Xiao's strength, this internal qi waves would not cause him harm at all. But Ling Yan forgot at that moment that Colonel Zuo at this time had just recovered his internal qi not long ago, and his internal qi power was far from being comparable to before, so the results in reality did not go as Ling Yan expected.
After Colonel Zuo was hit by the internal air wave, he looked like he was about to be knocked out, but fortunately he held on to the reins of the horse, so under the pull of the war horse under the seat, he did not fly out, but he also turned over and fell off the horse.
The war horse was also pulled by Colonel Zuo like this, and it turned half a circle in place, and the horse's head was pulled into an awkward-looking angle by the reins.
At the same time, Sun Qiu couldn't dodge Colonel Zuo's internal air waves, although he hurriedly lowered his body, but his shoulder was still hit by an internal air wave, and his war horse was also hit by a shot.
The horse neighed and fell to the ground, and Sun Qiu jumped to the ground with him.
Judging from the situation at this time, Colonel Zuo was knocked to the ground, but Sun Qiu stood firmly on the ground after falling off the horse - it seemed that Colonel Zuo had lost the upper hand.
However, two seconds after Colonel Zuo fell to the ground, he also stood up suddenly, covering the place where the internal air wave hit him with his hand, and looked at Sun Qiu coldly.
After Sun Qiu glanced at his injured shoulder, he laughed as if he was fine, "Ha...... Left school traitor! Your inner qi is so weak! How good I am for you! Look at you as a rebel general, you don't even have internal energy! Ha ......"
Ling Yan was afraid that Colonel Zuo would suffer a loss, so he hurriedly threw away the Moon Slashing Knife, changed the pistol to a hand, and then quickly aimed at Sun Qiu's head.
Sun Qiu was also shocked when he saw Ling Yan's action, he naturally didn't know what Ling Yan was holding in his hand, but maybe he also felt bad, and hurriedly went to pick up the spear on the ground.
Ling Yan originally wanted to kill Sun Qiu directly with a gun, he expected that with Sun Qiu's internal qi strength, if he was shot in the head, he would definitely die, so that the battle would end soon.
But Ling Yan suddenly changed his mind at the moment of shooting, because he thought of a question: Colonel Zuo had said that Sun Qiu was Sun Xia's younger brother, and Sun Xia was the defender of Grasshopper City, and it was Grasshopper City that he was going to attack next! If Sun Qiu could be used as a threat to force Sun Xia to submit, wouldn't it be a good strategy?
Thinking so, Ling Yan moved the muzzle of the gun out of position, aimed at Sun Qiu's hand that was about to pick up the spear, and fired two shots in succession.
Of these two shots, one hit the ground and splashed a small puddle; And the other shot hit Sun Qiu's palm.
Sun Qiu let out a loud howl, withdrew his hand in pain, looked at the palm that was gushing out in horror, and then suddenly turned his head to look at Ling Yan, his expression full of incredulity and fear.
Ling Yan smiled slightly: Sun Qiu was shot in the palm of his hand, so naturally he couldn't send out internal air waves, so there would be no threat to them.
Colonel Zuo also glanced at Ling Yan's pistol, and his expression instantly became very complicated.
At this time, from behind Sun Qiu, there was a sound of horses' hooves.
Ling Yan knew in his heart that this was the rear army of reinforcements.
Sun Qiu quickly glanced back, then turned around and laughed, "Today, I will break through Juye City in one fell swoop!" Take the two of you to make a contribution! The smile on his face, distorted by pain, was particularly ugly.
