Chapter 255: Saiyan Luo Leyun
"Plug it! Quickly block the city wall!" Seeing that the city wall was smashed out of potholes, Chu Bai was so anxious that he couldn't do it, and he didn't care about any demeanor, so he opened his throat and shouted.
The defenders fought back with their defensive equipment, and from the rear they quickly filled the holes with sacks full of sand and dirt.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom......" Ning Zejun's catapults continued to attack one after another, and the city-rushing vehicles also began to hit the city gate.
The defenders of the city hurriedly threw sassals and falling rocks downwards to block the charging vehicles.
The crossbowmen of the Ning Ze army immediately covered the charging carts and quickly shot the defenders.
The two sides launched a fierce battle, and the city wall of Liao County has been smashed to pieces, and even more than half of it has collapsed in several places.
The defenders of the city were quite resilient, and although they suffered heavy losses, they still relied on human lives. The main reason is that Ning Ze did not use "demon magic" again, and the deterrent power was not as strong as before.
Seeing that the city was crumbling, it almost attacked several times, but many Futu troops were killed under the defense of rolling stones, sassal wood, and gold juice, and Ning Ze sounded gold again.
Although the Futu armor can defend against swords, guns, bows and arrows, it is not effective against heavy sandalwood, rolling stones, and hot gold juice. Even if the battle damage is less than half of the opponent's, they are not happy to consume too much here.
When the army withdrew, Dewey was puzzled: "Why is my brother Mingjin?
"There's no hurry. Ning Ze replied, "The defense of the city gate has been destroyed, the goal has been achieved, there is no need to waste troops." There are still many battles to be fought in the future, and a war of attrition can be avoided. ”
Ning Zejun withdrew to the camp, and the defenders of the city breathed a sigh of relief.
The walls were in tatters and had to be repaired quickly.
The easiest way is to fill it with a bag of sand, which can be dealt with temporarily.
Chu Bai and Cheng Wan ordered the soldiers to dig in the open space in the city and pack bags, and quickly send them to the city gate to repair the breach, and increase the number of defenders.
It's just that the effect of this is limited, and the next time Ning Zejun comes to attack the city, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist.
The two returned to the government office and asked Li Tai'an if he had any spells to retreat from the enemy.
Where does Li Tai'an know magic, although there are many means, they are all tricks to deceive the people, and they are useless to bluff people. So he replied: "The spells practiced by the poor Dao are specialized in overcoming ghosts and demons, Ning Ze is neither a demon nor a demon, and he doesn't know where to learn, I'm afraid the effect is limited." Not only can we not defeat the enemy with one shot, but we may provoke them, and the consequences will be unpredictable!"
When Chu Bai and Cheng Wan heard this, their faces were not good-looking.
"Do you have any suggestions for the current situation?" Chu Bai asked him.
Li Tai'an thought about it carefully and said to him: "Chu Envoy Jun, although Ning Ze knows spells, he will eventually return to flesh and blood. This person is the commander of the enemy army, he controls the overall situation, if he can send someone to assassinate him, the enemy will be chaotic!"
"Assassination?" Chu Bai and Cheng Wan glanced at each other and frowned at the same time.
"Layman," Cheng Wan shook his head and said, "Not to mention that Ning Ze is guarded by thousands of troops and horses, even if he can get close, there are Dewey and Ghost Face to protect him, these two are strong in martial arts, and they are not idle people." If you want to assassinate Ning Ze, I'm afraid it won't be easy!"
"That's right, this plan is not appropriate!" Chu Bai also thought so, "Although Ning Ze is a civil official, he has a spell, and it is difficult to kill him even if he is alone." ”
"If it's an ordinary dead soldier, it's not easy!" Li Tai'an said mysteriously, "but someone can do it." ”
"Who?!" Chu Bai and Cheng Wan asked him at the same time.
"Leyun!" replied Li Tai'an, "this man has the reputation of a hero, and can take the head of the army." ”
"Le Yun, isn't it the heroic Le Yun who is known as Sai Yan Luo?" Chu Bai asked hurriedly.
"Exactly!"
"But I heard that this person has traveled all over the world and his whereabouts are uncertain, where can he find him?" Chu Bai asked.
Li Tai'an replied with a smile: "This person is in Liao County City, hidden in the market. Poor Dao has a relationship with him, and you can persuade him to help. ”
Chu Bai was overjoyed: "If the layman persuades Leyun to help, there will be a heavy reward!"
That night, Li Tai'an brought back one person and came to Chu Bai and Cheng Wan.
This man looks like an ordinary farmer, and there is nothing unusual about him, and he is instantly out of the crowd when he walks on the street, so it is difficult to attract attention. It belongs to the physiognomy that is quickly forgotten at a glance, and it is so ordinary that it can't be more ordinary.
But Li Tai'an told Chu Bai and Cheng Wan that this extremely ordinary-looking farmer was the famous Saiyan Luo Leyun.
Chu Bai and Cheng Wan looked at each other, hard to believe.
Not to mention the two of them, the surrounding civil and military officials are the same, and they can't connect the heroic Le Yun with the person in front of him at all.
"Your Excellency is Saiyan Luo, known as the heroic Leyun?" Chu Bai asked suspiciously.
The farmer was expressionless, and he arched his hand and responded: "It's Le!"
"Can you take the rank of general among the ten thousand armies?" Cheng Wan hurriedly asked.
"I'm good at camouflage and assassination, and I've never missed!"
"If you have this ability, can you show one or two?" Chu Bai asked, wanting to test whether this person was really Leyun and whether he was really capable.
"Who does the envoy want to kill?" the farmer's expression was indifferent, as if he was only talking about slaughtering poultry, and his eyes swept over the civil and military officials around him.
Chu Bai was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said: "This official wants to ask Your Excellency to show your disguise and assassination skills, just show it, don't hurt people's lives." ”
The farmer lowered his head and thought for a few seconds, then said to him, "In this case, Le Mou will retreat first!"
"Your Excellency, what do you mean by this?" Chu Bai asked hurriedly.
"Le retreats to the outside of the house, and a stick of incense time proves himself!" replied the farmer, "you can wait and see." However, if you want to use Le, you must have a thousand taels of gold!"
"If Your Excellency really has this ability, what is the gold thousand taels? ”
The farmer shook his head: "Le is not interested, as long as a thousand taels of gold!"
"Okay! In this case, after a stick of incense, this official wants to see Your Excellency prove that he is Saiyama!"
After the parties agree. The farmer walked away.
"Someone, go out and see this person!" Chu Bai waited for him to leave, and immediately asked his subordinates to go over to monitor. If you can't even get rid of your own subordinates, how can you talk about assassinating Ning Ze? You must know that Ning Ze's military camp is a tiger's den in Longtan!
Chu Bai's subordinates secretly followed the farmer all the way to the gate of the mansion and secretly observed without him noticing.
The farmer went out of the house and walked briskly through the street at night.
Chu Bai's subordinates followed closely behind, and when they turned a corner, they found that the farmer was missing, and immediately dispersed to investigate, but found nothing.
Shocked, everyone gathered back to the mansion and reported to Chu Bai: "Lord, we will secretly follow that person out of the mansion, and leave the person around the corner, and I don't know where to go!"
"Oh, this person really has some ability!" Chu Bai exclaimed, "Order, strengthen patrols inside and outside, and closely monitor every entrance!"
"Whoa!"
Several of his men retreated, but one of them remained where he was.
Chu Bai was puzzled: "Why don't you retreat?"
"My lord, the little one has something to say!" replied the soldier with his head bowed.
"Oh?" Chu Bai looked at this soldier curiously, like this kind of pawn usually doesn't take it to heart, and seems to see it often in his impression, "What do you want to say?"
"This matter involves the lord and is quite private. The soldier hesitated.
"Then come here!" Chu Bai beckoned curiously.
"Wow!" the soldier got up and walked to Chu Bai's side, leaned into his ear and lowered his voice, "Do you want you to know my means?"
The voice changed suddenly, it was the farmer's voice just now, Chu Bai was shocked, and hurriedly got up and pointed at the soldier, but this person was obviously completely different from the farmer's face just now. And when he spoke before, it was completely another person's voice: "You...... You ......"
The soldier took off his helmet, stretched out his hand and gently rubbed his face a few times, and his whole face changed slightly, and it turned out to be the farmer just now: "The king is not very vigilant, if Le Mou makes a move, he will already succeed!"
"This, this...... How did you do that?" Chu Bai couldn't believe it. After all, there is no mask, and there is no other thing to change the appearance, just rubbing the face, as if becoming another person, and the voice can also become someone else, it is too weird! When did the other party blend into the entourage of his subordinates and not be recognized?
Not to mention Chu Bai, Cheng Wan and the civil and military officials on the scene were also frightened, and they were all stunned in disbelief.
In front of everyone, the farmer stretched out his hand and rubbed his face a few times, as if his facial features moved slightly, and the next second he turned into something similar to Chu Bai. Say that he is Chu Bai, there are many strange things when you look closely, and say that he is not, no matter how you look at it, there are similarities, and it is easy to be confused.
Seeing that everyone was sluggish, Li Tai'an got up with a smile and said to everyone: "Mr. Le is talented, and he learned from famous teachers later, and he can imitate the faces of others, which is actually a kind of trick, and ordinary people can't do it at all." With this technique, you can show a thousand faces. Mr. Gera is good at ventriloquism, and his ability to imitate various sounds or speak with other people's mouths is quite amazing!"
"Your Excellency has such ability, no wonder you have never missed!" Chu Bai was surprised, "If Fang Cai did it to this official, he would not have time to react at all. With this genius, Ning Ze is resting!"
"Ning Ze is in the enemy camp outside the city, and he is guarded by a number of generals with excellent martial arts," Cheng Wan asked, "Can Your Excellency recognize this person?"
"I don't recognize it!" asked the farmer, "what is Ning Ze's character?"
"Ning Ze is only eighteen years old, but he has been made a marquis, and he is wearing a python robe, which is very easy to identify!" Chu Bai replied, "As a concubine, he has quite a status, and with power in his hands, the people on his side dare not disobey his orders." In fact, as long as Your Excellency finds the commander's tent, there is a female military general who will always serve him!"
"Le has written it down!" the farmer nodded, "Assassinating Ning Ze will bring back the head, like probing for something." ”
"Don't underestimate this person!" Cheng Wan reminded, "Ning Ze is proficient in witchcraft, although he is a civil official, he is not an idle person. ”
"Witchcraft?" said the farmer, "Le has been running for decades, and he has seen all kinds of things in the world, and he doesn't believe this! Evil ghosts are afraid of wicked people, even if this person really has witchcraft, it is in vain to meet Le Mou! Le Mou will go out of the city, so that you will wait and see!"
Chu Bai and Cheng Wan stood up and toasted him together.
"Your Excellency will drink this cup to help you return triumphantly!"
The farmer took the wine glass handed by Chu Bai and drank it up.
Cheng Wan then handed over the second cup: "This official is a magnificent trip for Your Excellency!"
The farmer was not polite, drank the wine in Cheng Wan's cup in one gulp, and then hugged his fists and said, "Let's go and go back!"
