Ling Yan shook his head: "No, no matter what, I will break through Juye City, and I will definitely not retreat." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoWhat's more, occupying Juye is not in my plan, I want to continue to go south and attack Nanyang, how can I be stopped by a small city in the middle? If I can't even take such a city, then what else will I do! ”

Hearing Ling Yan say this, Yu Zhengen's expression changed even more: "General Yan, you ...... Do you really want to attack Nanyang? This...... Not to mention Nanyang, only these Yellow Turban Army before Nanyang are brave and invincible, can they ...... Walking to Nanyang, it's really unpredictable......"

Ling Yan waved his hand: "Alas, don't care about those for now, the top priority is to take Juye City." ”

Originally, Yu Yigen had always been very happy, but since he knew that Ling Yan was going to move south, his face became hesitant, so he didn't answer Ling Yan's words.

Ling Yan asked Yu Yigen to go back to the camp to rest first, while he sat in his camp for a whole night, just to plan in detail how to attack Juye.

When it was getting dark, Ling Yan finally came up with a complete plan.

At noon, Kuai Liang and Deng Yi came to the camp with grain and grass.

Ling Yan was contemplating his plan to seize the city, and when he saw Kuai Liang walking in, he was very happy, so he discussed the matter and his plan with Kuai Liang.

After hearing this, Kuai Liang nodded: "General Yan is extremely worried, we must take this city before reinforcements reinforce Juye, if it is too late, I am afraid it will be quite unfavorable to us." ”

Ling Yan nodded, and asked Kuai Liang if his plan was feasible.

Kuai Liang said: "This plan is wonderful, but you must keep your mouth tight, and your actions must be extremely hidden, so that the generals who defend the city must not see the clues." ”

Ling Yan saw that Kuai Liang also agreed with this plan, and he was completely relieved in his heart, and he also strengthened his confidence in implementing this plan.

At this time, a scout entered the tent and reported to Ling Yan: "The enemy reinforcements are now more than fifty miles away from Juye, and it is expected to arrive in Juye City tomorrow evening." ”

Ling Yan was taken aback, knowing that the military situation was urgent - they had to take Juye before tomorrow night, and the situation would be favorable to them after that.

So, Ling Yan immediately summoned all the generals to the tent to discuss the matter.

After everyone arrived, Ling Yan said anxiously: "Generals, the enemy's reinforcements will arrive in Juye tomorrow, so we must take Juye City before tomorrow." ”

Zhang Yi and the other generals immediately said: "I am willing to listen to the general's dispatch!" ”

Ling Yan nodded and began the combat deployment. He said loudly to the generals: "I plan to use the method of attacking the east and the west, with some soldiers and horses feintting to attack the main gate, left gate and right gate of Juye Castle to attract the defenders, and then another army of soldiers and horses will make a detour to raid the back gate, and when they are trying to break through the back gate, the three soldiers and horses will break through the remaining three city gates and capture Juye City in one fell swoop!" ”

The generals said one after another: "General Yan, this is really a good strategy!" ”

"Good!" Ling Yan was very happy, "Now I will assign their respective tasks...... General Lü and General Deng, each of you will lead a group of troops and horses to feint the left gate and the right gate, remember, after hearing the sound of the main gate attacking the city, you will attack the city again. ”

"Yes!" The two men responded with fists clenched.

"General Wen, General You, General Zhang Min, the three of you lead a heavy army to detour to the back gate of Juye City, hide it, and after all the three gates on the left and right are attacked, immediately raid the back gate, and you must attack the city as soon as possible!"

"Yes!" The three of them replied loudly.

"General Yu, you and I led the troops to feint at the main gate to attract Li Damu's attention."

"Yes!" Yu Gengen responded.

"General Yang, General Zhang Yi, the two of you lead two armies of soldiers and horses, ambush in the forest outside the city, in case of accidents, if you see an enemy will escape from the city, immediately intercept and kill!"

"Yes!"

"General Kuai, you and the national division guard the camp and grain and grass, and you must prepare for the defense of the enemy army to rob the village."

"Yes." Kuai Liang hugged his fists.

Ling Yan looked around at everyone again and nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, the butcher asked Ling Yan in a low voice on the side, "Then I'm ...... Do what? ”

Ling Yan looked at the butcher with a smile: "You just stay in the village and garrison!" Find an armor to wear, and you're a general! ”

The butcher was overjoyed: "Obey!" Thank you, General Yan! ”

Kuai Liang offered a plan: "General Yan, it is better to let him set up another village in front of the village, so that he can take care of each other with this village." ”

Ling Yan nodded and looked at the butcher: "Then send you to pull another army of soldiers and horses, and set up another battalion." ”

The butcher was naturally a general for the first time, and as soon as he took office, he was able to lead the soldiers and horses to set up camp, and the joy in his heart was overflowing, and the sense of mission also arose, and he said excitedly: "Yes!" General Yan! ”

Ling Yan smiled, and then said to the generals: "The generals who attack the left gate and the right gate must be more careful, General Yu told me that there are catapult machines in Juye City, there are nine in total, except for the back gate, each gate has three, so the generals must be careful, whoever climbs the city first will destroy the trebuchet as soon as possible." ”

"Yes!" Lu Gong and the others agreed.

Ling Yan thought about it and felt that there was no problem, so he let everyone leave.

On this day, Ling Yan was discussing the details of the night battle with Kuai Liang and others, and it was not until nightfall that Ling Yan felt that all the details had basically been taken into account, so he sent Lu Gong and others, who attacked the back gate, left gate and right gate of Juye City, to lead the troops to set off first, and instructed them to be sure to hide when marching, and not let the enemy find out.

Subsequently, Ling Yan sent Yang Feng and Zhang Yi to lead two soldiers and horses to ambush in the dense forest outside the city.

An hour later, Ling Yan and Yu Yigen also led a force to set off, before leaving, Ling Yan instructed the butcher and others to carefully guard the camp, even if the possibility of the enemy robbing the village was almost zero, but Ling Yan still asked them to be cautious just in case of emergency. Naturally, the butcher happily agreed.

On the way to Juye City, Ling Yan wanted to understand the character of Li Damu in detail, so he asked Yu Yigen: "General Yu, Li Damu also knows the divine law, right?" ”

Yu Yigen nodded and said, "Yes...... Among the generals under General Chu's account, there are only a few who know a little about the magic law, and Li Damu is the general with the highest mana. ”

Ling Yan nodded: "Then if his mana is unleashed, what will it look like?" ”

After thinking about it, Yu Yigen said: "I have only seen him use it a few times, and every time he casts a spell, it is from his hands, an indigo ball is emitted, and the ball is like a hidden weapon, which can shoot directly into the body, killing people!" The power is not to be underestimated! When Yu Yigen said this, the look on his face was nervous.

Ling Yan breathed a sigh of relief: Listening to Yu Gen's description, Li Damu's internal qi should only be in the initial stage. He smiled and asked Yu Yigen an irrelevant question: "General Yu, do you know Bai Bo?" ”

"Ahh Yu Yigen snorted, "I've heard of this person, he is also a Yellow Turban general, but he seems to be guarding a place far away, and he seems to have been defeated by the enemy." ”

Ling Yan sighed in his heart: The intelligence and communication work of the Yellow Turban Army is really not flattering! But he said, "Yes...... What does General Yu think Bai Bo's mana is compared to Li Damu? ”

Yu Yigen only thought for a moment: "Li Damu should be inferior!" Bai Bo is the general under the account of the 'Digong General'! Naturally, the mana should be much higher than Li Damu. ”

"Hmm." Hearing Yu Yigen say this, Ling Yan was completely relieved.

Along the way, Ling Yan thought about this plan from beginning to end again, wanting to see if there was anything missing, until he thought about it several times and made sure that there were no oversights, and he was already able to see Juye City from a distance. At this time, Ling Yan couldn't help but smile slightly, as if he saw that Juye City was already in his pocket.

Ling Yan ordered to step up the march.

When he was about to march under the city gate, Ling Yan saw that the soldiers in the city had spotted them, and immediately retreated to the city tower in a panic.

Ling Yan came to the city gate.

Suddenly, in the originally brightly lit city, all the torches were extinguished in an instant, and it was dim for a moment, and only the torches of the soldiers of Ling Yanjun illuminated a little nearby.

Then, I heard Li Damu's laughter: "Haha! You yellow-haired boy, you were defeated last time, but you still dare to come! ”

Ling Yan could only vaguely see the outline of a few vague figures in the city, and it was estimated that the silhouette in the middle should be Li Damu, so he smiled and said: "I was careless last time, of course I won't suffer that kind of loss this time!" I'd like to see what else you can do! ”

Li Damu in the city laughed wildly: "Haha...... The day before yesterday, I robbed your camp from behind, and you are lucky; Who knew that you really don't know whether you live or die, and you dare to come again this time! ”

Ling Yan felt funny: What kind of trick is this? smiled and said: "I came here to earn your city, I didn't earn it last time, of course I have to come again this time." ”

"Humph!" Li Damu in the city sneered, "Just with you, do you still want to earn my city?" Don't talk about you, even if you raise a whole city and rebel army to attack the city, what am I afraid of! ”

Ling Yan smiled: "Ah! Is it? It's very arrogant, so why did you extinguish the torches in the city? ”

Although Ling Yan couldn't see Li Damu's expression, he could still imagine Li Damu's expression at this time: he was hit by the sore spot, and his face naturally couldn't see anywhere.

Li Damu didn't say anything for a long time, and suddenly said angrily: "Yu Yigen! You actually betrayed the Yellow Turbans and went to join the rebels! ”

Yu Yigen, who was beside Ling Yan, raised his knife and pointed at the city, and said angrily: "Phew! Li Damu! You dog thief! I was captured by General Yan that day, and you didn't send troops to rescue me! General Houyan wrote to you, you didn't care about my life or death, how should you talk about this! In vain, I treat you as a brother, and you are so cruel! ”

Li Damu sneered: "Hmph! This only blames you for your inferior martial arts, and was captured by the rebels so easily, how can you blame me! I thought that you were strong in martial arts, so General Chu sent you to assist me in defending the city, if I had known that you were a straw bag, I would not have let you come to Juye City that day! Hum! Not to mention coming to save you! How could I ignore General Chu's explanation for the sake of a useless person and pour the soldiers defending the city to save you? What about brothers? ”

Yu Yigen was furious, his face was pale, and his beard stood on end in anger.

Li Damu's words, not only Yu Gengen was furious when he heard it, but even Ling Yan couldn't help but scold: "Li Damu! You're cowardly! Why deceive yourself anymore? Why didn't you go out of the city to fortify that day and let General Yu go? You obviously see that there is a difference in General Yu's army, why don't you go out of the city immediately to rescue him? Later, I was robbed of the camp and forced to withdraw my troops, so why didn't you dare to go out of the city to cover up and kill? Hum! After talking for a long time, I don't think you're a fierce general, but just a coward! ”

Li Damu didn't know if it was because of his weak heart or what, he snorted coldly, and said after a while: "General Chu ordered me to guard this city, I naturally have to keep it in mind, how can I easily go out of the city and fall in your favor?" ”

Yu Yigen said angrily: "Okay! I'm going to attack the city now, but I want to see how you 'hold on to it.'" ”

Li Damu also said sharply: "Okay! Good! I'd like to see how you two nobodies make money on my city! Hum! I will get rid of a rebellious person for General Chu today! Shoot the arrows! ”

Suddenly a row of figures appeared on the city, and immediately a large number of arrows were shot down from the city.

The soldiers of Ling Yanjun desperately resisted, and Yu Yigen was furious and shouted and ordered: "Release the arrows!" ”

The archers of Ling Yan's army immediately stood in a row and also fired arrows towards the city.

However, this archery is also learned, and archery at a high level is naturally much more advantageous than shooting upward at a low place.

Seeing that his archers had little effect on the enemy, Ling Yan was killed by a lot of arrows from the city, so he was in a hurry, and hurriedly drew his sword and waved: "Brothers! Besiege! ”

With Ling Yan's order, thousands of soldiers rushed forward with a shout.

Ling Yan saw Li Damu's figure flashing and disappeared from the city tower. And the archers in the city still threw arrows at the city one after another.

The soldiers who rushed to the city immediately set up a ladder, and then quickly climbed up the tower one after another.

However, the arrows on the tower rained down, and sometimes stones fell down the city, and the soldiers who climbed were smashed down the ladder one after another, and the wailing was endless.

Seeing his soldiers fall one after another, Ling Yan was extremely anxious, originally if there was a little light in the city, he could take out his gun and shoot it, even if he wasted some bullets on the soldiers, it was better than his own soldiers being constantly killed, but now the city was dim, even if Ling Yan took out the gun, he couldn't see the people in the city clearly at all, and firing a few shots indiscriminately was tantamount to wasting bullets.

Thinking like this, Ling Yan suddenly thought of a way, so he immediately ordered: "Change to 'rocket'!" Ignite the arrows and shoot them! ”

As soon as Ling Yan finished speaking, he heard a huge dull "crunch" sound on the city tower, and then, in less than five seconds, the city suddenly flashed with firelight, and it lit up in an instant, and then there were three "whirring" sounds, only to see three dazzling huge "fireballs", dragging a long golden "tail", flying straight into the air from the city tower, and after drawing a spectacular arc in the air, it smashed towards Ling Yan's position.

Ling Yan was startled and hurriedly hid backwards.

I saw the three fireballs, "dong dong dong" three loud bangs, smashed not far in front of Ling Yan. Each of those fireballs was bigger than a man. Some of the soldiers who were smashed were not burned to death by fire, but directly smashed into pulp! The fireball smashed to the ground, and the small half of the sphere actually smashed directly into the ground—the strength of the fireball can be seen—and the fragments of flames that flew out, each the size of a man's palm, flew in all directions, and the soldiers who were splashed were seriously injured or killed.

Ling Yan was shocked, he knew that this was the "flame stone" that Yu Yigen was talking about, but he heard that people said that he was not shocked by what he saw with his own eyes. What he didn't expect was that this burning stone would be so big and powerful! If he hadn't run fast, he might have been hit by the shards of the flame stone.

Three "flame stones" had just been thrown on the city here, and soon, Ling Yan heard the sound of "crunching" on the city tower, and judging by his judgment, Ling Yan also knew that it was the sound of the soldiers in the city pulling the stone-throwing lever.

Ling Yan was startled, and hurriedly ordered: "Immediately retreat!" ”

Those archers and the soldiers beside Ling Yan immediately retreated. This created a peculiar scene: there were a large number of Ling Yan's soldiers trying to climb up to the top of the city; Behind the soldiers, however, there was no one; Behind a large area of emptiness, it was Ling Yan and all his soldiers and horses.

However, the guards in the city did not give up throwing the "Flame Stone" because of Ling Yan's retreat.

"Huh", "Huh", "Huh", there were three more howling sounds of strong winds, and at the same time, three huge fireballs flew towards Ling Yanjun.

"Knock" "Knock" "Knock", three huge dull loud noises sounded, and those three fireballs smashed three more big craters on the land not far in front of Ling Yan.

Fortunately, Ling Yan was prepared in advance this time, and only a few soldiers who were closer were unlucky, and they were hit by the splashing fragments of the stone and died instantly.

Ling Yan was anxious in his heart - if he only relied on brute force to attack the city like this, he would definitely not be able to break through the city gate. At this time, he finally understood that what Yu Yigen said about Juye City was strong and difficult to attack, and it was indeed not a lie.

Ling Yan's eyes looked into the distance, and his heart was so anxious: why haven't the soldiers and horses of the other two ways attacked the left gate and the right gate have not moved?
