Chapter 57: Lu Yi's Layout

The soldiers guarding the palace suddenly became panicked, and thought of many legends about Lu Bing's ability to communicate with ghosts and gods. But fortunately, explosives and some gravel and thistles fell from the sky, and if there was a violent storm, lightning and thunder, I am afraid that this battle would have to scare everyone's courage before it started.

Lu Bing chose the center point of high-altitude bombing is the Heart Cultivation Palace, although it is difficult to spread the trends in the palace now, and Chen Hong's blockade news is very tight, but according to the judgment of the previous times, as well as the analysis of Zhu Houxi's character, he must especially like to stay in the Heart Cultivation Hall built by himself. At the same time, Zhu Houxi will also think that the Heart Cultivation Hall is his blessed land.

Lu Bing didn't want to blow up Zhu Houyu to death at such a time, Zhu Houxi was suspicious by nature, unless God didn't favor him, and the explosives happened to fall on his head or beside him by coincidence, otherwise he would definitely have time to get into the secret room. If he didn't build a secret room, he wouldn't dare to believe it if he killed Lu Bing.

The last time Lu Bing met Zhu Houxi, he suffered a big loss from Zhu Houxi's organ. Now that feng shui is taking turns, it's time for Zhu Houxi to try the power of the Lu family's skillful craftsmen.

The Imperial Forest Army, the Four Gate Guards, the Dongchang Imperial Horse Prison Samurai, the Jinyi Guards and the Ouchi Guards all shot arrows with bows or picked up firearms and shot at the sky, but the height at which the hot air balloon was located was not so high, so all kinds of shots were ineffective. The place where the shooting was dense lit up with a burst of fire, just to point out the position of the airdrop troops above, and smashed it into the crowded place.

The two sides completely became an unequal competition, but when he saw that the attack was ineffective and the shape was not good, Chen Hong happened to appear. He immediately organized his forces and hid in bunkers. He knew that this should be the kind of thing called hot air balloon that had appeared on the battlefield in Shandong, but he didn't expect this thing to be so powerful and have such a powerful effect. I never thought that Lu Bing would have so many hot air balloons, and he would try to use such methods to directly hit the capital.

Chen Hong thought that Lu Bing launched an attack from the air, no matter how powerful he was, he would eventually have to return to the land, otherwise he would not be able to evacuate after the air raid was over. If it's just for harassment, then this kind of battle is a bit too exciting, and it's not worth doing it at all. So. The most important thing now is to preserve strength, reduce unnecessary casualties, and wait for the enemy to come down before making plans.

Chen Hong asked the departments to hide it. was not damaged by the continuous explosives, and then sent someone out of the palace to deploy. But Chen Hong kept an eye on it and did not let the army directly enter the palace. Because no one can say whether the troops who entered the palace have defected, even if Chen Hong has checked it many times. But there are still people in the army like Wei He. If they are allowed to enter the palace, they are afraid that they will lead the wolf into the house.

What's more, there are countless gold and silver treasures in the palace, and the beauties are even more than 3,000 in the harem. Therefore, King Qin was not in a hurry, and waited until the enemy came down before letting his troops enter the palace to fight against the thieves.

Chen Hong decided to lead the crowd to protect the harem and the main hall, focusing on defending the Heart Cultivation Palace. In this way, a barrier was formed and the troops that blocked the enemy's attack were formed, and then the sergeants outside the palace were allowed to enter the palace, and then the remnants of Lu Bing's forces were swept away inside and outside. As for the damage it would cause to the palace. Or the loss of gold and silver treasures and the humiliation of the ladies in the palace are just worries that may occur. As long as these generals do not rebel. With them, there will be no big problems with the soldiers. What's more, even if you lose these, they are just things outside the body, as long as you can keep the emperor's safety, it's easy to say.

Just when Chen Hong was thinking very thoroughly, he only felt that many things had been poured from the sky, some of which were very slippery, and some of which were very viscous. Chen Hong hid in the Tibetan Soldier Cave, and then touched it with his hand, and instantly shouted that it was not good, and Lu Bing was going to set fire to the palace.

Chen Hong also didn't care about the rules in the palace, called the fire water, and loudly broke Lu Bing's conspiracy and asked everyone to convey it in turn. The order at the scene has been chaotic, but fortunately, these people are elites, so they found water tanks and other things to prepare to extinguish the fire, and the water dragon team quickly arrived.

Torches were dropped from the hot air balloon, and the entire Forbidden City was instantly plunged into a sea of fire. All kinds of flammable and explosive oils, as well as those with strong adhesion, catch fire when they are fired, and they will not be extinguished at all when poured with a small amount of water. And above the sky, the flammable materials were still being thrown down, as if they were inexhaustible.

Countless palace guards who were passively defending were burned to death, and each of the people who were alive also had burn marks on their bodies. Chen Hong secretly flashed into a stone door at this time, and disappeared in an instant.

In the prison, Tang Kekuan, who heard the panicked shouts outside, asked, "Is Wenfu here?" ”

"If it's not the lord, who has the courage to attack the palace directly?" Wei He asked rhetorically, and then the two of them burst out laughing.

Shoot the man first and shoot the horse first, capture the thief and capture the king first, whether you can turn the tide in this move.

—————————————————————————————————————

At this time, the city of Nanjing had been attacked by the Zhao army for three days and three nights, and the Zhao army was extremely brave, but at this time it was also very tired, and so was the Lu army. One of the two sides attacked day and night, never stopping, and the other was constantly defending and suffered heavy casualties. Now this night, Yiqiē has finally quieted down.

Lu Yi dragged his tired body to the big tent of the Chinese army and called all the generals in the army. Lu Yi's eyes were about to close, he had been supervising the battle on various city walls for the past few days, which brought great courage to the soldiers, but after all, it was not an iron body, and Lu Yi couldn't hold it anymore.

He yawned and said, "The enemy will definitely attack tonight, you must take good precautions, and do not take it lightly." ”

The generals were shocked, in their hearts Lu Yi is a young talent, although he is young, he is already a high authority in the eyes of everyone, his prediction is rarely wrong, he said that there is an enemy to sneak attack tonight, someone will definitely come to sneak attack. Not only among the generals, but even among the soldiers, Lu Yi, who took the lead, also has a very high prestige, and if he has authority, he has faith, and that's it.

It's just that although I believe it, I have doubts in my heart after all. Therefore, someone said: "Is the young lord too worried, and the enemy is tired, and it is more difficult to attack the city than to defend it." I wonder if they have collected their troops and gone back to rest? ”

Lu Yi shook his head. He opened the defense map and said: "Today's night battle will definitely be worse than the previous days, and it will be attacked from all sides. There may also be martial arts masters who sneak in to cooperate with the battle, Uncle Ren, Master Wuling of Shaolin, you must take strict precautions, ordinary soldiers are unable to resist the warriors of the Japanese people. Fireworks are distributed between ministries. Once you encounter such a martial arts master or a strong enemy, each department will send fireworks as a number. Uncle Ren and Master Wuling must go to the rescue quickly, and they must not let these masters harass our layout and disturb our army's heart. It is naturally impossible for them to turn the tide of the war, but their ability to make trouble is indeed not small. If you encounter multiple sneaks, Uncle Ren is in charge of Xicheng, and Master Wuling is in charge of Nancheng, as for how to choose and distribute manpower. It's up to you. I want Shaolin and Ren. It will be far better than those thieves who smell of the sea. Wu Ling and Ren Tianxiang heard the respect and praise in and out of Lu Yi's words, although they knew that they were a little hypocritical, but they were still beautiful in their hearts.

After speaking, Lu Yi said to Cui Ling again: "Cui Ling, you are patrolling the city, if you encounter someone with the wrong breath, you will kill it immediately, and you would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one." ”

"Yes." Cui Ling, Ren Tianxiang, and Wu Ling replied.

"Young master, I also have many people with superb martial arts, can I use them?" Han Sufa said.

Lu Yi shook his head and said, "General Han, I have another important responsibility for you. Your people are not fit to do this. The rest of the people must be guarded to the death, so that no one outside the city can see your panic. It is necessary to be tight inside and loose outside, and must not be careless, if anyone stabs the basket tonight, he will not be forgiven. ”

"Yes." The generals replied.

Lu Yi waved his hand to let them retreat, leaving Cui Ling and Han Sufa in the big tent, Han Sufa said: "Young master, do you not trust me, or do you think that my men and horses are useless, why don't you entrust me with important tasks?" ”

"General Han, don't worry, I don't have that intention. On the battlefield tonight, General Han must be the top priority, and the enemy is bound to launch the fiercest attack from here. Lu Yi said and pointed to the Nanjing defense map, and then said: "Only General Han and your Taihu heroes can show their might here, and this is the battlefield suitable for you, which is incomparable to others." General Han, in the conversation between you and me and Cui Ling in Taihu Water Village, I was right, this is your advantage. ”

Han Sufa was dumbfounded, and only after a while did he ask, "Why did they come over?" ”

Lu Yi shook his head: "The Zhao family's secrecy measures are also very good, I don't know how they want to come over, but the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, as long as we are fully prepared, we can wait for work." Didn't they want to attack Nanjing at night? Didn't you want to catch us off guard? Hehe, let's treat others the way they do! Saying that, Lu Yi waved his arm, and for a while, he scolded Fang Xuan with pride.

—————————————————————————————————————

That night, the three-day offensive stopped, whether it was the city of Nanjing sent soldiers to collect the corpses, the Zhao family also sent people to carry wooden baskets without armor and waving white flags to collect the corpses. This is a temporary truce, both sides will not rashly attack, for a while it seems that the world is quiet, the air is only mixed with the low wail, it is on the battlefield, under the mountain of corpses of the wounded people emitted, I don't know whether it is the Lu family army or the Zhao family army.

Collecting the corpse seems boring, but it is actually beneficial to both parties, which is why this act is affirmed at the same time as such a tacit understanding. The first is to bring back their own corpses, although most of them are shrouded in horse leather on the battlefield, and they die in a foreign land, but they always have to take the corpses back and bury them collectively.

In addition, there are some people who are still serving in the army and those who have died in battle, and there are still those who are still alive on the battlefield, which makes people inevitably lose the idea of fighting. Therefore, the rescue of the seriously wounded who are unable to move on the battlefield actually brings a burden to the troops, but the most important thing is for the remaining living forces.

Both sides think so, in addition to that, because as an attacker, if there are too many corpses on the battlefield, it will inevitably affect the future march and siege of the city, and the siege soldiers carrying weapons and equipment are easy to trip over the corpses, and it is not conducive to loading vehicles and arrow towers and other equipment that travels on wheels, and the wheels will be stuck. The same is true for the defenders, if the dead body is outside the city for a long time, it will inevitably cause a plague or something, and when the time comes, the city will be seriously ill, won't it be self-defeating without a fight? However, it doesn't hurt if the corpses are not contained, and the source of the virus can be removed by burning them with fire, but in this way, it is easy to make the soldiers defending the city feel war-weary and increase their fear. The soldiers are so fast that no one can afford to drag them out, so cleaning up the corpses has become a common task for both parties.

So it happened that both sides came out to collect the corpses for their own purposes, and the war was temporarily suspended, giving the weary warriors some respite.

When night fell, the dark shadows in Nanjing City flickered, and Cui Ling, who was closing his eyes on the tall building, suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, and then flew in the direction where he felt it, his body was extremely fast, like a beast. If you don't look closely, Cui Ling at this time has already blended into the night, like a moving flowing water, so transparent that it is invisible.

Suddenly, the fireworks illuminated Cui Ling's figure, and a ball of fireworks exploded in the air, and Ren Tianxiang in the west of the city took the elite of the Ren family and other Lu family martial arts experts to approach the place where the fireworks were issued, and the speed was also very fast. In this place where there are many houses, the skills of such martial arts masters can be regarded as showing, climbing high and climbing ladders, tumbling and jumping, and all kinds of borrowing power to make the most of it.

Speaking of Cui Ling, the fireworks at this time illuminated Cui Ling and at the same time illuminated the gray man beside him, there were thirty or forty people in gray, their clothes were gray, and they were also hidden in this gray-black night. They were masked, their heads covered, only their eyes were exposed, their eyes were full of fear, they didn't see Cui Ling's arrival, and they didn't know how Cui Ling got into their formation. It wasn't until Cui Ling pulled off the letter of the fireworks that it was discovered, and the next fireworks that burst into the sky illuminated this area, which instantly surprised them.
