Chapter 31 - The Night Attack of the Silver Moon

In the middle of the night, the full moon receded, the sky just dawned, and as the faint sun rose in the east, the mournful trumpets sounded in the otherwise quiet environment. Ladders and crashes have been erected under the East Gate, and tens of thousands of feudal soldiers have launched today's offensive. And today, the offensive of the Sealing War Association is obviously much more ferocious than yesterday. The pressure on the east gate has suddenly increased a lot, and today's east gate tower not only has the general Jin Xu, who has always been there to defend the governor, but even Zhang Lingyi, who rarely goes up to the city tower, has also rushed to help defend the city. He took two guards alone and went up to the city tower in the east of Linguan. Originally, the soldiers guarding the East Linguan were all excited, and these two lieutenants went to the city to defend the city at the same time, which was a great encouragement to morale.

Jin Xu found an anomaly, Zhang Lingyi did personally climb the Donglin Guancheng Tower, but Zhang Lingyi was only holding a black and lacquer-colored horse lance in his right hand, carrying a bow and arrows made of solid wood behind his back, and a jade-colored fish bag and a silver sword hanging from his waist. He didn't take the lead in killing the enemy with the golden long knife in his hand like Jin Xu. Instead, he stood silently above the tower, his eyes like lightning, staring closely at the top of a crashing car slowly pushed by eight soldiers in the distance.

There are also a lot of troops standing on the east side of the gate tower to guard, but today's battle will be attacked by two armies, and the crash attack that was not originally used was used. They felt the pressure beyond measure. Jin Xu waved the gold-backed long knife in his hand and cut off the one in front of him, who also looked at Zhang Lingyi with some dissatisfaction, seeing that his expression was always staring into the distance as usual, Jin Xu asked with some dissatisfaction: "Ling Yi, don't just watch the show! We don't know how long we have to die! What are you doing?"

Looking at Jin Xu's somewhat excited expression, Zhang Lingyi couldn't help but smile faintly, and explained with a smile: "You are still such a violent temper! Presumably you would not have thought that we have an opportunity now, don't look at these troops outside the Donglin Pass are all elite feudal soldiers." But in fact, our opportunity has already come."

Jin Xu is not just a martial artist who fights on the battlefield, on the contrary, he is also a talented general with brains and both civil and military skills. It's just that because his strategic vision and command ability are relatively weak, and his temperament is impatient, he can't hide things in his heart. So he is destined to only exist as a general.

However, he can clearly see that Zhang Lingyi is not an idle person, he not only has extraordinary courage and command, but also his courage and insight are incomparable to Jin Xu. So, Jin Xu also felt that he needed to listen to Zhang Lingyi's opinion.

Zhang Lingyi rarely saw that Jin Xu was able to calm down and listen to what he was saying, and he felt that it was quite rare. So, without beating around the bush, he said directly to the two guards who followed him to the castle tower, "Invite them two up." ”

The two guards agreed, turned around and walked quickly down the city tower, Zhang Lingyi waved his hand to block the words that Jin Xu, who had a fiery and urgent personality, wanted to ask. At the same time, he shook his head lightly and motioned for Jin Xu to remain silent. Jin Xu had no choice but to put down the golden long knife in his hand and stand there quietly waiting for the figure that Zhang Lingyi was going to bring up.

In just three minutes, Zhang Lingyi's two guards brought a middle-aged man dressed in white, which made the middle-aged man's face a little old, but he could still see the faint heroism between his eyebrows. Standing beside him, there was also a woman in white who was about the same age as him, this woman was wearing a long skirt, pink soft-soled embroidered shoes, no rouge on her face, and a faint sense of Lingfeng on her elegant and clear face. Even the soldiers, who had only noticed her appearance, did not dare to think of anything special.

Jin Xu saw Zhang Lingyi bring up such two people he didn't know at all, he pulled Zhang Lingyi aside, lowered his voice and asked softly, "These two people don't look very reliable, are you sure they can be trusted?"

Zhang Lingyi smiled faintly, and just said four words lightly, but these four words surprised Jin Xu. Jin Xu even whispered in disbelief, "Really, are they really demonic secret envoys?"

Zhang Lingyi smiled slightly, he didn't answer Jin Xu's question, he turned around and went back to find these two "Demon Spirit Secret Envoys" to talk. Jin Xu thought about it himself, he was not a person with a clear mind, he really understood when he thought about it like this, Zhang Lingyi would never come to joke with him at this moment. Since these two people are secret envoys of the demon spirit, they must have their own purpose in coming to Donglinguan. Jin Xu is a little helpless in the face of the attack anyway, so it is better to directly choose to listen to what these two demon spirit secret envoys plan.

After figuring out this section, Jin Xu immediately strode to the edge of the city tower, staring at the two demon spirit envoys in the distance, a man and a woman, who were talking closely with Zhang Lingyi. Jin Xu stepped forward and took two steps, and said to the two demon spirit envoys with some kindness: "I don't know if the two of you have come all the way here, can you have any clever plans?"

Jin Xu is a cheerful person, and now it is also a time period for a noon and lunch break, and outside the east of the pass, the originally fierce feudal army has basically retreated. Not long after, the camp of the feudal kingdom also lit with faint smoke. However, it was precisely because of this noon time that Jin Xu, who was originally anxious, now had time to listen to them, otherwise he would have been impatient a long time ago, and would even put the golden knife on the necks of these two comers to question him.

It's just that the identity of the Demon Spirit Secret Envoy is very special, and the Demon Spirit Secret Envoy was originally the most important intelligence agency in the Qi State controlled by Jiang Mingcheng, the founder of the Demon Spirit Secret Envoy. But since Jiang Mingcheng was trapped in Zhongcheng, the capital of the feudal state, and was trapped and abolished martial arts, and now his life and death are unknown, the demon spirit secret envoys are basically led by Chen Jie, the southern governor of Qi State. Even if Jin Xu didn't buy it, this was the most terrifying force in the Qi country, and the power was like a hand covering the sky. But he didn't dare not buy his general Chen Jie's account, and it was for this reason that Jin Xu was a little shocked when he heard the words "Demon Spirit Secret Envoy", and he was even willing to take the trouble to listen to it.

The two "Demon Spirit Secret Envoys" who came were none other than Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing, who had come from Fengguo Yicheng before. They originally reported their names and the soldiers guarding the East Border Pass did not let them enter the East Border Pass, but once they showed the tokens of the Demon Spirit Secret Envoy who could represent their identities but did not actually belong to them, the soldiers guarding the city gate that was now open in the East Border Pass all gave way to them with respect and a hint of fear on their faces, which couldn't help but make the two of them smile peacefully, but there was no way to change this. However, now the form is very urgent, they just need to see Zhang Lingyi and Jin Xu, and they can't think too much about other things.

Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing hadn't returned to Qi for a long time, so these two Chen Jie's lieutenants were actually not very familiar with each other. It's just that the situation is urgent now, otherwise they wouldn't have taken out this token of the "Demon Spirit Secret Envoy" to act as the so-called "Demon Spirit Secret Envoy".

At this time, Feng Baiyi, who heard Jin Xu's inquiry, did not have too many excuses and politeness, and now time is life. He immediately told Jin Xu and Zhang Lingyi about the plan he had come up with.

"I think I can give it a try!" Feng Baiyi's proposal was to take advantage of the solemn night tonight to launch a surprise attack. Now is not only the most critical moment of Donglinguan, but also the first day of the joint attack on Donglinguan by the first and three halls of the feudal country. They would never have expected that the Qi army, which had been cowering in the east of the pass in the past and did not dare to come out, would dare to come out and attack their camp at night, and the defense would definitely not be very strong. If you seize this opportunity to give a head-on blow, not only can you temporarily relieve the danger of Donglinguan being attacked ferociously, but it may also be possible to make this originally unconcentric feudal state turn against each other again, and when that time comes, it will be the day for the Qi army to counterattack. This opportunity is rare, if you don't grasp the final East Pass, it will still be lost, once the East Pass can not be held, the Feng State army will have no obstacles to transport grain and grass and new forces, and you can drive straight into the attack of Qi. If this kind of thing really happens, it will eventually evolve into a situation of powerlessness and irretrievability, and this result is something they are unwilling to accept.

Although Zhang Lingyi himself also supported this plan, he also understood what means should be used to implement it after the sneak attack, and this time it might be possible to cause infighting among the 60,000 troops of the Sealing War Society. But he keenly kept an extra eye, he was a little suspicious of Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing, because the expressions on their faces were just solemn, and they were not as gloomy as ordinary demon spirit envoys, so people didn't dare to approach too closely. So, Zhang Lingyi said with a smile: "It's really hard for the two of you to come from afar, you shouldn't have let the two of you give us advice, it's really a bit ashamed to say."

Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing hadn't reacted at first, they bowed down a little blankly and responded: "General, what are these words, we are naturally here to help the general, how can it be said that it is hard?"

Zhang Lingyi smiled slightly, and said loudly to the two guards beside him: "Okay, it is worthy of the pride of our Qi country, the credibility of the Demon Spirit Secret Envoy really makes me admire, you order, all the troops who did not go up to the city tower to participate in the defense of the city tonight, gather in the evening, and wait for the dispatch of the two of them" Halfway through the words, Zhang Lingyi turned to look at Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing, whose eyes gradually became clearer, and he said with a smile: "Just bother the two of you to lead the current raid tonight, I will lead the reinforcements and then arrive"

After speaking, Zhang Lingyi didn't wait for Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing to react, so he walked down the city tower with a smile, leaving Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing, who gradually understood, standing in place, with a helpless wry smile on the corner of their mouths
