Chapter 655: Siege
Youzhou City, as the main city of Youzhou, has twice the specifications of the city wall than the county city wall, and the thickness is twice as wide.
The breeze was gentle, rolling up puffs of dust.
Wang Yan held on to the low wall, his expression was calm and cold, this was the first time he led his troops into battle.
At a distance of seven hundred paces from the city wall, the White Lotus army stopped and began to set up camp.
"Inside the city, keep an eye on the exit."
"Whoa!" Tianji led the order to retreat, and Aji leaned over the wall and looked over the female wall at the White Lotus army that was busy camping.
"Young master, it's better to take the opportunity to go out and kill them by surprise."
"Wouldn't it be right for them to take the initiative?" Wang Yan pointed to the soldiers of the White Lotus Sect and asked Aji seriously. "Do you remember how we set up camp along the way, and how was it different from them?"
"It seems to be a little slower."
"It's not just a little slower, the fact that they camp so slowly means that they are guarding against our sneak attack, since they are on guard, maybe there will be a trap, what we have to do now is to hold on, our real enemy is not necessarily them."
Aji heard that the White Lotus rebel might be on guard, but he couldn't understand the second half of Wang Yan's sentence, the real enemy was not the White Lotus rebel under the city, so who else could it be?
In the second half of the camp, the speed at which the White Lotus Sect army camped increased sharply, and Aji swallowed a mouthful of saliva as he watched the heavily armed armor soldiers who came out of the loose tent, it turned out that the White Lotus rebels really had an ambush.
At sunset, the White Lotus Sect set up the camp, and soon, smoke rose from the camp.
Wang Yan stood at the head of the city for a long time, carefully observing the camp of the White Lotus Sect, he found several strange places, there were several camp tents, people went in from time to time, but no one came out, thinking that the camp should be the exit of a certain secret passage.
Tianji returned to the city, and he had already given the order again, keeping an eye on the exits of those secret passages, and not allowing the White Lotus rebels to rush into the city.
It was getting dark, and the wind was cool.
Wang Yan returned to the city tower and was eating, suddenly, there was a strange noise in the city, Wang Yan rushed out of the door, looked into the city, there was a fire in the city, and soon a thick smoke rose.
Wang Yan frowned, although he had long expected that something might happen in the city, but if something really happened, he still felt uneasy in his heart.
This is the battlefield, the battlefield of life and death.
"General, the White Lotus traitor is about to attack the city!"
Wang Yan came to the city, and sure enough, the White Lotus traitors were gathering rapidly, and the fire in the city seemed to be a signal.
"Pass my orders! Archers ready! ”
..
In the north of the city, the Yuelai Inn is burning with a raging fire, in the night, the fire is particularly dazzling, outside the inn, the White Lotus thieves lurking in the city have been killed with the officers and soldiers who arrived.
Guan Ping brandished a big knife and attacked a White Lotus rebel, the two have been fighting for more than a dozen rounds, and the winner has not yet been decided, which shows the high martial arts of the White Lotus rebel.
Although the officers and soldiers were superior in numbers, the White Lotus rebels only had a hundred or ten people, but they were difficult to break for a while, but the officials and soldiers suffered a lot of losses.
At the same time, more than 30 secret passages poured out of the White Lotus rebel thieves at the same time, and the officers and soldiers guarding outside the secret passages were killed together, while Feng Pojun led a team of iron horsemen to support and command back and forth between those secret passages.
The Huang family, the Sun family, and the Meng family are the hundred-year-old masters in Youzhou City, although they are famous, they have the deepest collusion with the White Lotus Sect behind their backs, and there are one hundred and ten secret passages, of which more than thirty are in the mansions of these three families.
A large number of White Lotus Sects walked out of the secret passage, assembled in the courtyard, and then killed from the main gate, and killed the officers and soldiers who were ambushed outside the door.
Fortunately, I knew the exit of the secret passage in advance, and I took precautions in advance, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
Fires broke out in several places in the city, and in the streets and alleys, officials and soldiers and White Lotus rebels could be seen fighting everywhere, and the ground was already full of corpses.
"White Lotus traitor! Kill! Guan Ping roared, a force slashed, the force was heavy, and the White Lotus traitor who was fighting with him finally couldn't resist it, and fell to his knees, Guan Ping's glaive knife opened a hole in his shoulder.
Just when Guan Ping was about to make up for another knife and kill him, the man turned over suddenly, flicked his cuffs, and a silver light flew out, shooting directly at the door of Guan Ping, Guan Ping hurriedly waved the knife to resist, and with a crisp sound, Guan Ping dangerously and dangerously knocked the dart that emitted a faint green cold light away, and there was already a layer of cold sweat all over his body, and when he went to look for the person again, the person was gone.
"Definitely not a simple person!" Guan Ping snorted, killed a white lotus thief with a knife, came to the place where the dart fell, found the darts, and hurriedly wrapped them in handkerchiefs and put them away.
..
The city walls of Youzhou City are covered with cloud ladders, and countless white lotus thieves are desperately climbing to the top of the city like ants, and a stick of incense has passed, except for the east gate where Wang Yan is located, the other three sides are all climbed up to the head of the city by the white lotus thieves and carried out short-term combat.
Wang Yan held the coiling dragon in his hand, and with a stab, he knocked out a White Lotus rebel who jumped onto the female wall, and at the same time, a flying hammer passed by Wang Yan's side, knocking out another White Lotus Sect soldier who had climbed the city.
Tianji stood a little further back, constantly throwing out his lock and flying out, and every time the hammer flew out, it was sure to defeat a White Lotus Sect traitor.
Wang Yan glanced at the Chinese army of the White Lotus Sect that had not yet moved, a white flag was suddenly conspicuous, and a general in white armor was surrounded by many armor soldiers in the center, he should be the commander-in-chief of this army.
If it were in normal times, Wang Yan would definitely take the risk of trying it, kill it out of the city, and go straight to the head of the enemy chieftain, but now, Wang Yan did not dare to take risks, he knew the importance of the safety of the commander to the army, although he was superb in martial arts, but putting himself in danger was a blow to his morale.
The firelight inside and outside the city illuminated the battlefield as if it were daylight, and Wang Yan had already killed a hundred and ten people in a row, and the armor on his body had been stained red with blood.
..
Wang Yan arranged all the elites of the 30,000 Heavenly Strategies in the city, he knew the importance of the back, if there was a big riot in the city, then Youzhou City would not be able to defend it.
Fortunately, the elite of Tiance did not disappoint Wang Yan, and after a fight, the momentum of the White Lotus rebels in the east and north of the city was suppressed, and it did not cause a big panic, only the battle between the west of the city and the south of the city was not over.
After a fight, the White Lotus Sect suffered heavy casualties and began to retreat towards the mansions of the Huang family, the Sun family, and the Meng family.
The officers and soldiers clenched their grip, and the White Lotus Sect's team immediately separated, with the front team behind the hall and the rear team withdrawing.
The head of the Huang family was drinking tea in the back hall, surrounded by his wife and concubines.
"Master, let's do this, will that young general find trouble with you, master?"
"What about coming? The old man doesn't know that there is a secret passage at home, what can he do to me? Kill me? My Huang family is a hundred-year-old family in Youzhou, and the family is the smallest, but it also has a head and a face in Shilin, and if he kills me, he doesn't want to gain a foothold in Youzhou! Huang Hao, the head of the Huang family, said proudly.
As soon as the words fell, I heard a faint voice overhead.
"Oh? Really? ”
