Volume 2 The Battle of the Yellow Turban Chapter 372 Luck Succeeded

(Cat flutter Chinese) Ling Yan quickly glanced at the rest of the Yellow Turban soldiers on the city's head, and the movements and expressions of those Yellow Turban soldiers were not much different from those of the Yellow Turban soldiers.

Ling Yan didn't need to, and he didn't have the time to look back at the appearance of the Yellow Turban soldiers who were in charge of the broken off, he knew that his plan had succeededβ€”Liu Shi and his son's actions had succeeded.

All the Yellow Turban soldiers have been poisoned by the "Poison of Blood"!

Now, Ling Yan knew that it was time for him to exert his might.

For these mental activities, Ling Yan actually took less than two seconds.

Colonel Zuo at the head of the city was originally calm and relaxed, looking at Ling Yan with high spirits, but after waiting for a while, he didn't see the scene he expected, so he was also stunned and looked left and right.

The Yellow Turban soldiers at the head of the city also looked at Colonel Zuo in great confusion.

Colonel Zuo was only stunned for a second, and then as if he understood, a look of shock appeared on his face, and he hurriedly looked at Ling Yan under the city again.

"There is no time to lose." Ling Yan naturally wouldn't miss such a great opportunity, and without waiting for Colonel Zuo to give another order, he immediately ordered Zhang Yi beside him: "Order the archer, shΓ¨ arrow!" ”

As he spoke, Ling Yan also took out the pistol behind his back and aimed it at the Yellow Turban soldiers at the head of the city, firing several shots in succession.

Immediately afterward, batch after batch of arrows flew densely towards the city.

The Yellow Turban soldiers in the city had not yet recovered from the confusion of not being able to emit internal air waves, and they were directly killed by Ling Yan with a gun, and the arrows that followed killed nearly ten Yellow Turban soldiers.

In an instant, there were only three Yellow Turban soldiers left who could still stand on the head of the cityβ€”the three Yellow Turban soldiers also quickly dodged.

And Lu Gong, who led the army to the city gate, after dodging a large number of people pouring out, was also shocked to see the Yellow Turban soldiers at the city gate stretching out their arms, but then saw that the palms of those soldiers did not emit internal air waves, he was overjoyed again, and hurriedly rushed over again.

Colonel Zuo was furious when he saw the Yellow Turban soldiers beside him fall one after another, and shouted to the city: "Close the city gate!" ”

The city gate was slowly about to close again, and Lu Gong took the lead and stabbed the inside of the city gate with a spear, and three Yellow Turban soldiers were immediately stabbed to death.

The rest of the Yellow Turban soldiers hurriedly closed the city gates. While ordering the soldiers to rush into the city, LΓΌ Gong pressed his spear against the city gate to prevent it from closing.

But it may have been threatened, and several people inside the city gate also helped the Yellow Turban soldiers to close the city gate. Ling Yan had an order first, not to hurt the people, and Lu Gong naturally did not dare to disobey, so he did not dare to use a spear to stab again. After all, his strength alone could not compare to the combined forces of those few people and soldiers, and how could the wooden pole of the spear withstand the thick iron gate?

Hearing only the sound of "click", the spear was broken, and then the gate was completely closed, and the soldiers beside Lu Gong were all blocked out.

After Colonel Zuo ordered the city gate to be closed, after glancing at Ling Yan, he looked into the distance, his brows were tightly locked, and his face was blue.

Ling Yan didn't pay attention to Lu Gong's attack on the city gate, and his eyes always stayed on Colonel Zuo. After firing those few shots, Ling Yan aimed the muzzle of the gun at Colonel Zuo's head, although the distance was very far, if Colonel Zuo had been standing still like that, Ling Yan would definitely be confident that he would be able to explode Colonel Zuo's head with one shot.

However, Ling Yan didn't shoot immediately, because his head was occupied by a question: his pistol was already aimed at him, why didn't he dodge and protect himself with his internal qi? Could it be that his internal qi is strong enough to protect him in his body? Can't even hurt him with a pistol?

Ling Yan absolutely didn't believe that Zuo Xiao would be strong to that extent, and what happened next easily verified his idea.

After Zhang Yi commanded the archers to release arrows towards the city, he himself took out his bow and arrows and headed upwards. When Ling Yan aimed his pistol at Colonel Zuo when he couldn't see a single Yellow Turban soldier in the city, Zhang Yi's bow and arrow were also aimed at Colonel Zuo.

Ling Yan was puzzled by Colonel Zuo's immobility, so he didn't shoot immediately; But Zhang Yi didn't think about it so much, and after pulling the bow full, he loosened the tight bowstring.

An arrow flew towards Colonel Zuo at a rapid speed - probably due to the surrounding environment, coupled with Zhang Yi's average ability to shoot arrows, so he aimed at Colonel Zuo's head, but after flying for a while, the arrow deviated from the intended direction, and flew towards Colonel Zuo's right chest near his shoulder.

Ling Yan saw all this. According to what he thought in his heart, with Colonel Zuo's reflexes, as long as he raised a hand, he could definitely block this arrow, and for Colonel Zuo, this kind of attack was basically useless.

But to Ling Yan's surprise, Colonel Zuo didn't react at all, and Ling Yan watched as the arrow entered Colonel Zuo's right chest. And the next development also confirmed that Zuo Xiao's internal qi did not have the effect of protecting the body when it did not form a "protective film" outside the body - after Zuo Xiao was hit by the arrow, his body tilted back sharply, and his left hand instinctively pressed the position of the arrow shè, and his eyes moved from a distance to the place where the arrow was hit, and the god on his face was in pain.

Zhang Yi was very happy to see that he had won the left colonel.

While Ling Yan was happy, he thought of a question. He looked back, only to see that not far away, Wen Ping and You Heng commanded the soldiers, and most of the Yellow Turban soldiers after the break were captured, and every two soldiers escorted a Yellow Turban soldier, and the rest of the Yellow Turban soldiers who resisted were all killed by Wen Ping and You Heng - the Yellow Turban soldiers after the break did not have weapons in their hands, as long as they couldn't get their internal gas, they were no different from waste people who were slaughtered.

Seeing this scene, Ling Yan understood why Colonel Zuo was stunned and looked into the distanceβ€”he was feeling sorry for the Yellow Turban soldiers who were being bound.

Ling Yan had an idea, and shouted at Wen Ping and the others: "General Wen, bring the Yellow Turban soldiers over and kill them all!" ”

Colonel Zuo had already squatted down after being hit by an arrow, and when he heard Ling Yan's shout, he quickly stood up, leaned over the city, and shouted at Ling Yan: "Slow! ”

Ling Yan looked back at Colonel Zuo and sneered, "General Zuo, what do you want to do?" Your soldiers are like a waste, it's useless to keep them, if you die, you die! Why bother? ”

Colonel Zuo didn't know if it was the arrow in his body or the Yuan of the Yellow Turban soldiers who were caught by Ling Yan, and his face looked very painful: "Don't kill them!" ”

Ling Yan laughed: "Colonel Zuo! It's all this time, and you're still threatening me? What else do you have to threaten me? I'm telling you, if I try to kill them now, it will only take a moment to bring them all down, do you believe it or not? ”

Colonel Zuo looked at Ling Yan coldly for a long time, the muscles on his cheeks moved a few times, and then he said in a calm voice: "General Yan, you let them go, retreat back to the village, and stop ......fighting for the time being."

"Haha......" This time it was Ling Yan's turn to be in high spirits, "Colonel Zuo, what are you kidding?" I'm going to break through your Juye Castle today, and I see that the city is about to be reached. How could I not eat fat meat to the mouth? ”

Colonel Zuo stared straight at Ling Yan and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Okay...... General Yan, you step back first, let me think about it for a while, and then decide whether to surrender or not......"

Zhang Yi and Lu Gong both persuaded Ling Yan on the side: "General Yan! Don't listen to thieves! He's trying to stall for time! The thief is gone, and he is wounded by an arrow, Juye City is at his fingertips, don't miss the opportunity! ”

Ling Yan knew that what Zhang Yi said made sense, and he could also predict that if he desperately attacked the city, he would soon be able to take Juye City - Colonel Zuo had no soldiers to defend the city, and he was also injured, no matter how powerful he was, it would be impossible for him to defeat a thousand enemies.

But Ling Yan had another plan in his heart, he understood the truth of "attacking the city for the bottom and attacking the heart for the top", and he also knew that if he forcibly took the city, and then let Colonel Zuo surrender willingly, it would be even more slim, let alone let Colonel Zuo go to rescue Yu Gengen.

So, after thinking about it for a while, Ling Yan quickly had an idea, and he nodded at Colonel Zuo: "Okay!" General Zuo, this time I will promise you not to attack the city first, and give you a chance to surrender on your own initiative! ”

When Lu Gong and Zhang Yi heard Ling Yan's words, they were greatly surprised, and hurriedly tried to persuade Ling Yan again, but they were stopped by Ling Yan with gestures.

Colonel Zuo smiled reluctantly: "Okay...... General Yan really has the demeanor of a general...... Then ask General Yan to give the order to release my soldiers! ”

Ling Yan smiled: "That's not good, I will take those soldiers of yours away." General Zuo, although I give you time to think about it, there is always a deadline, right? In this way, I will give you a few hours to think about it, and tonight is the deadline at midnight, and then, if you want to understand and surrender voluntarily, then I can assure you that all your soldiers will be safe and sound, and I will definitely not harm them; But if I still haven't gotten your decision after midnight, then I can't blame me, and I can assure you that I'll kill all the Yellow Turbans in the blink of an eye. ”

Colonel Zuo looked at Ling Yan with a cold face, looking at his eyes, as if he was about to devour Ling Yan alive, and after a long while, he said in a deep voice: "General Yan, I can think about it, but if you don't let go of my soldiers now, then I will kill all the people in this city." After saying that, he laughed dryly.

However, this time the situation was different, the initiative was in Ling Yan's hands, and Colonel Zuo could not threaten Ling Yan at all.

Ling Yan also smiled: "Okay, if you want to kill, kill it." Although I am very disgusted with the killing of civilians, I can't stop you from doing it, after all, this city is still yours now...... However, if you kill the people, it will be easier, and I will kill the Yellow Turbans, and then I will break through the gates. If you're lucky, run away, and if you're unlucky, you might die under my sword, hehe......"

Zuo Colonel's face became more and more ugly.

Without waiting for Colonel Zuo to say anything more, Ling Yanzheng said again: "General Zuo, remember, tonight is the deadline, I will definitely not wait until tomorrow, you can decide what to do, if you decide, send someone to my camp to tell me, and I can decide what I want to do." After saying that, he gave the order and led the army to retreat.

When he retreated to the dense forest, Ling Yan looked back at Juye City from time to time - Zuo Colonel was always standing at the head of the city, looking at this side, although his expression was not clear, Ling Yan could also imagine it.

On the way back to the camp, Ling Yan's mood was extremely good - this was a big victory! And it's a big win that determines the ultimate success or failure! Even if Zuo Xiao descends to the earth, he has no ability to return to heaven!

With this joy, Ling Yan actually wanted to whistle, but he didn't blow it after a few blows, so he gave up.

"Hmm...... The success of this time is still due to Liu Shi and his son! When I enter the city, I must repay them! If it weren't for their ......" Ling Yan was pondering these things in his heart when he was interrupted by Wen Ping's words.

Wen Ping's tone was extremely excited, and he said to Ling Yan: "General Yan! What a victory for our army this time! ”

Ling Yan smiled slightly and nodded.

You Heng reported on the other side: "General Yan, we have captured a total of eighty-two Yellow Turban thief soldiers, it seems that this is already all the soldiers and horses of the thief general of Zuo Colonel!" ”

"Hmm......" Ling Yan smiled again, and secretly pondered in his heart: In addition to the two or three who did not die on the head of the city, and a few who guarded the city gate, the rest of the Yellow Turban soldiers should have been arrested, and it seems that it should be all the "belongings" of Colonel Zuo.

"General Yan, what should you do with these thieves?" Wen Ping asked.

Ling Yan said: "Take them back to the camp, wait until midnight, if Colonel Zuo has no news, kill them." ”

At this time, Ling Yan noticed that Zhang Yi's expression was a little wrong, so he smiled and said, "General Zhang, what's wrong?" Are you still unhappy with my decision? ”

Zhang Yi looked depressed, hugged his fists and said, "The last general will not dare to ...... It's just that some can't figure it out. ”

"Hehe......" Ling Yan smiled, "General Zhang, please rest assured, I will definitely not make a loss-making transaction." ”

Wen Ping became smart this time, and also said: "General Zhang, don't worry too much, General Yan has his own reasons for doing this." ”

Ling Yan nodded, and said to Zhang Yi again: "General Zhang, if you have some ability, put a long line to catch a big fish, if I think well, Juye City will definitely be mine, don't rush at this time." ”

Zhang Yi was still a little worried: "General Yan, the last general thinks that the rebel of Colonel Zuo is obviously delaying time and waiting for reinforcements. ”

Ling Yan smiled: "Well, General Zhang's concerns are also reasonable, I have also thought of this, so I won't give him too much time, I will only let him think about tonight, if he hasn't thought it through, I won't give him another chance." Even if reinforcements arrive, it will not be half a day. ”

Zhang Yi thought about it and nodded.

Ling Yan was in a very good mood now, so he smiled at Zhang Yi again: "General Zhang, if everything goes well, I don't see that we will be able to enter Juye City tomorrow morning." ”

Lu Gong then asked Ling Yan: "General Yan, what if Colonel Zuo refuses to surrender?" ”

Ling Yan laughed: "If he doesn't surrender, I will kill those Yellow Turban soldiers he captured, and then attack Juye City." With Colonel Zuo alone defending the city, he was able to attack the city in less than a day. ”

Lu Gong was a little puzzled: "General Yan, use those yellow turban thieves to threaten Colonel Zuo, this is ...... Does it work? ”

Ling Yan was very confident: "Colonel Zuo, although he doesn't take other people's lives seriously, I can see that he cares very much about his own soldiers. ”

Lu Gong and the others looked at each other, and then Wen Ping laughed and said, "Haha...... General Yan is really brave and strategic! The last will admire! ”

"Haha......" Ling Yan also laughed, he didn't laugh out loud because he heard Wen Ping's praise, but he was suppressed for a long time and suddenly released at this moment, so he felt extremely comfortable, and naturally laughed.

The rest of the people laughed too, and there was a cheerful atmosphere everywhere.

Back at the camp, Ling Yan asked Wen Ping and the others to go back to their tents to rest, while he himself returned to his tent and sent soldiers to call Zuo Ci and Kuai Liang.

After a while, the two of them came to Ling Yan's tent.

Kuai Liang may have learned the news of Ling Yan's victory, and as soon as he came in, he clasped his fists at Ling Yan and smiled: "Congratulations to General Yan on his victory!" ”

Zuo Ci also smiled and said, "General Yan Tianwei will definitely win." ”

Ling Yan was very happy, and hurriedly stood up and saluted back: "It is only by relying on the two of you that we have today's victory." So saying, he gave up his seats to the two of them.

After Kuai Liang sat down, he said, "If it weren't for General Yan's wit and courage, it would be impossible for us to defeat the thief army. After finishing speaking, he looked at Zuo Ci again, "This time, I also relied on the 'poison of blood' of the national teacher, which made the enemy army suddenly confused. ”

Zuo Ci returned the salute, and then said: "It's still the common man named Liu Shi who has the greatest credit." ”

Ling Yan nodded: "Well, that's right." When I enter Juno Castle, I will reward them greatly. ”

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and then Kuai Liang asked Ling Yan, "General Yan, how is the siege this time?" I saw that the general brought back a lot of Yellow Turban thieves, but what should I do? ”

Ling Yan recounted the battle, and then said his thoughts: "If I insisted on attacking the city at that time, Colonel Zuo would not be able to do anything, at most it would be to resist desperately for a while, and our casualties would be more, but in the end, Juye City would definitely be mine." ”

Zuo Ci and Kuai Liang nodded.

Ling Yan continued: "But I thought that since Juye City was almost in the bag, he was not in a hurry at this time, and this was a good time for Colonel Zuo to surrender, I would withdraw my troops and not attack the city, give him a little time to think about it, if he knew how to be grateful, maybe he would surrender to me, wouldn't it be better?" Moreover, there is hope that General Yu's life will be saved. ”

The two nodded again, and Zuo Ci said: "Well, if Colonel Zuo is willing to help, General Yu's injury is indeed very hopeful." ”

Kuai Liang also said: "General Yu's life is saved, and our army has one more general, which really kills two birds with one stone." ”

"Haha...... Oh, yes! Ling Yan was very happy, "This kind of result is much better than taking the city by force." ”

"Hmm......" Kuai Liang pondered for a moment, "General Yan, if you want to influence this thief and return his thief to him, is it also feasible?" After speaking, he looked at Zuo Ci. Cat flutter Chinese
