In the early morning of spring, as always, the sun is shining cloudless, but compared with the usual spring breeze, today's weather seems to be a little depressed and dull, from dawn to the sun three poles have passed several hours in a row, between heaven and earth there is not even a little wind, the branches and shoots on the trees have been hanging their heads and standing still, the air around Jinling City seems to be completely frozen, and it makes people a little breathless. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The north wall of Jinling City is now densely packed with soldiers holding spears and wearing armor, and a large banner with the words "Han" and "Huang" is also standing on the left and right sides of the city wall, solemn and solemn. At this moment, the city gate was closed, and the sergeants on the city wall were looking at the black and oppressive 'haze' under the city one by one, and the number of people exceeded 10,000 was enough to reach the sky, not to mention the 270,000 troops? Looking from the Jinling city wall, what greeted the eyes was an endless black cloud. Lan Shixun ordered an army of 270,000 to line up under Jinling City, and the blade of the sword pointed directly at the Jinling Imperial City.

The "blue" banner is held high in the army under the city, and the eye-catching color makes the people on the city wall see it at a glance, and Lan Shixun's huge chariot is in the middle of the 270,000 army at this moment, and the chariot is as stable as Mount Tai under the 270,000 army wrapped like an iron bucket, and on the chariot, the rebel commander Lan Shixun is sitting lazily behind the handsome case with a slight sideways, a pair of shining eyes squinted slightly, as if he was looking at the Jinling Imperial City in front of him with great interest. It has been a year since he raised his army, and during this time, there is not a day that Lan Shixun did not dream of a large army besieging Jinling City, and today, this scene that often appears in his dreams has finally come true. In addition to Lan Shixun sitting on the chariot, there were also Lan Jin, Lan Chen's brothers, Chu Lingtian, Hai Lao, and a few Lan Shixun's personal soldiers standing around in an orderly manner, and at this moment, these people were all staring at Jinling City with bloodthirsty eyes, and that feeling was like a group of vicious wolves staring at a group of sheep with bad intentions.

At the forefront of the 270,000 army was the 'one-eyed' Ma Rufeng, and next to Ma Rufeng's voice, Fan Jiang rode his horse and stood up, Fan Jiang carefully studied the defense situation of Jinling City while constantly giving advice to Ma Rufeng beside him, and Ma Rufeng always looked at the city wall with a sneer, because at this moment, Emperor Yanchong, Han Xiao, Lu Yifan and others were all gathering there, and from Ma Rufeng's point of view, these people's faces didn't seem to look very good.

On the city wall, Yan Chong personally walked to the edge of the wall and held the battlements with both hands, looking at the rebels under the city worriedly, an old face full of wrinkles was already angry at the moment, especially when he saw Lan Shixun's beautiful appearance, Yan Chong couldn't wait to eat him alive, and a pair of old eyes were about to bleed. And Han Xiao and Lu Yifan were standing beside Yan Chong on the left and right, and the expressions of the two of them at this moment were also extremely complicated, after all, now that Lan Shixun was in the city, and he directly put on this posture, it meant that there would inevitably be a bloody battle related to life and death in the future. And this bloody battle will also be destined to have tens of thousands of young lives completely explained here.

"Lan Shixun!" Yan Chong gritted his teeth and roared in a low voice, "This emperor trusts you so much, but I never thought that today you would dare to lead a large army to besiege and kill the Jinling Imperial City, even if you are broken into thousands of pieces, it will be difficult to vent the anger in ...... emperor's heart!" The emperor will personally lead the troops to attack and kill, and personally slaughter Lan Shixun, a traitor!"

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable!" Han Xiao immediately refused, "Your Majesty just needs to sit in the city peacefully to boost morale, and leave the rest to the minister!"

"This emperor hates it!" Yan Chong stretched out his hand and pointed at Lan Shixun, while holding Han Xiao's arm with his other hand, and said to Han Xiao with angry eyes, "In the eyes of this emperor, Lan Shixun was just an ant that could be pinched to death with just one hand, and this emperor not only did not embarrass him, but also promoted him again and again, but he didn't expect that now he is raising tigers for trouble, raising such a white-eyed wolf, not only does he not know how to repay the favor, but he has to bite the emperor back!" Han Xiao, you are going to kill Lan Shixun and make him pay for what he did today!"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers will kill the traitors!" Han Xiao comforted with kind words, "At this moment, please ask Your Majesty to go down and rest for a while!" Saying that, Han Xiao also glanced at Yan Zheng and Yan Hao, and motioned for them to hurry up and help the emperor down.

Lu Yifan looked at the army under the city with a solemn gaze, and couldn't help asking: "Lord Han, how long will we defend the city like this?" The reason why Lu Yifan asked this was because they had been confronting Lan Shixun like this for three days, and in the three days, no matter how Ma Rufeng led people to scold, Han Xiao had never sent a single soldier. And somehow, Lan Shixun didn't rush to attack the city, but spent it like this with Han Xiao. Lan Shixun's army surrounded Jinling City and cut off all the food and water sources that entered the city, as if they wanted to trap Han Xiao's army alive in the city.

Han Xiao also naturally understands that holding on to it is not a long-term solution for this kind of siege warfare, the so-called military strategy, if the two sides are really at a stalemate like this, it will not take a month or two, there will be a shortage of water and food in Jinling City, and then the turmoil in the city will be self-defeating, and Lan Shixun will be able to take Jinling City without a single soldier. Regarding Lan Shixun's wishful thinking, how could Han Xiao not know?

"Lan Shixun knows that I am good at using troops, especially good at layout defense, so he will choose to stalemate with me head-on instead of ordering a strong attack, he is forcing me to send troops to fight him to the death!" Han Xiao said in a deep voice unhurriedly, " Once I send the army out, the two sides will be a face-to-face battle, especially in the case of the rebels far outnumbering us, even if I put up more formations, I am afraid that it will be in vain, 270,000 troops will rush up, our soldiers and horses will be broken through and scattered in an instant, and then it will be a chaotic battle situation of one against four, and with the loss of soldiers and horses getting bigger and bigger, the battle situation will be more and more unfavorable to us, and Lan Shixun's rebels will far surpass us in terms of momentum and strength, their soldiers will only become more and more brave in battle, and we are defeated like a mountain, and morale is getting lower and lower, to put it mildly, is waiting to be slaughtered alive. And this process will come quickly, if I send troops now, then Lan Shixun's banner can be planted here at sunset today!" Saying that, Han Xiao also stretched out his finger and pointed to his feet, and couldn't help but let out a bitter sigh in his mouth.

"Then what are we waiting for now?" Lu Yifan asked suspiciously, "According to Lord Han's words, if we send troops, we will die, and if we don't send troops, we will die!

"Not necessarily!" Han Xiao chuckled softly, "Anything can happen on the battlefield, and many times the chance of victory can be completely reversed in an instant, and I am just waiting for the times to change now!"

"Time change?" Lu Yifan obviously didn't understand what Han Xiao meant, "What will change?"

"Anything can change!" Han Xiao said lightly, "The time and place are favorable, everything has variables! Of course, it is also possible that everything will not change, but as long as there is a slight change, we can find a chance to die and live in the future." Somehow, Lu Yifan always felt that Han Xiao seemed to be confident when he said this, and he couldn't help but secretly wonder in his heart whether Han Xiao had a strategy to break the enemy.

Hearing Han Xiao's words, Ji Yuan glanced at the army under the city again, and then said with a smile: "I don't know anything else, but the morale of the rebels is really getting worse day by day! When they first arrived in Jinling City three days ago, they were sharp and imposing, but after three days of attrition, the morale of the rebels was obviously a little tired!"

"That's good!" Han Xiao nodded appreciatively, "If we find another opportunity to attack them head-on at this time, I'm afraid Lan Shixun won't be able to sit still! As long as Lan Shixun's heart moves, then he will definitely step up the time to attack the city, and then the advantages of Jinling City that are easy to defend and difficult to attack will be brought into play." ”

"How shrewd is Lan Shixun, will he not be able to sit still?" Xie Yun seemed to be very optimistic about this idea, shook his head again and again and said, "I think he understands very well that the benefit of besieging Jinling City like this will be that it will be bloodless, so I don't think he will become impetuous, because of the change in morale!"

Hearing Han Xiao and Xie Yun's words, Lu Yifan's brows were always locked and thinking about something repeatedly, and finally before Han Xiao could speak again, Lu Yifan's eyes suddenly condensed, and then a confident smile quietly appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It depends on whether our blow hits Lan Shixun's sore feet!"

"What sore feet?"

"Wei Li and his Black Armor Army!" Lu Yifan explained bluntly, "Lan Shixun can stabilize his army, but he may not be able to stabilize Wei Li's Black Armor Army!" The Black Armor Army was born in the Beast Clan, and the Beast Army has always responded to the battle with a fierce and positive attitude, which we can detect when we are in the northern Xinjiang, at that time, Lord Han set up a heavy defense on the first line of the ice field junction, but the Beast Army is still desperate to attack stubbornly in the case of heavy losses, this is the fierce characteristics of the Beast Army, now Lan Shixun has been overwhelmed by the army but has been unwilling to order the siege of the city, I am afraid that the soldiers of the Holy Domain can accept this approach, but the Black Armor Army of the Beast Clan may not be able to accept it, you look at the army under the city, two days ago Ma Rufeng could still see the shadow of Wei Li and the Black Armor Army, but today it is gone, which is enough to show that Wei Li is already dissatisfied with this way of only scolding and not fighting. If we stimulate Wei Li again at this time, even if Lan Shixun speaks out of the sky, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to stop the attack of the Black Armor Army!"

"This method is good!" Lu Jun nodded in agreement with a sudden realization, "But the question is, how can we give the Black Armor Army a slap?"

"This requires a strange army!" Han Xiao looked scheming, obviously he was already familiar with this kind of strategy, "First of all, the number of this strange army must not be too much, because once there are too many people, it will inevitably attract Lan Shixun's attention, and then a large-scale battle will break out. The second is that this strange army must be fine, it is best to be all masters of one top, our purpose is not to exterminate the black armor army, just to provoke them, once the goal is achieved, we must withdraw and retreat, we must not fall in love, otherwise we will fall into a place of no return!"

"Provoked?" Xie Yun didn't understand Han Xiao's words, "Then how many of them do you have to kill to provoke them?"

"It doesn't matter how many you kill!" Han Xiao smirked, "According to the spies, the 100,000 black armor army led by Wei Li has been burning, killing, looting and doing all kinds of evil along the way. The breached city is all looted, so now in Wei Li's camp has hoarded hundreds of carts of heavy treasures, all of which are looted by the Black Armor Army from all over the Holy Domain, these things can be regarded as treasures by Wei Li and the Black Armor Army, they are different from Lan Shixun, the land and city of the Holy Domain are not important to them, one of the main purposes of their troops in the Holy Domain is to grab things, Wei Li wants to bring all these treasures back to the Orc Clan after the war, and what we have to do is very simple, is not to give them the opportunity to leave these treasuresAs soon as they are all burned, Wei Li and the Black Armor Army will definitely be furious about this, and then they can't wait to attack Jinling City and seize it again! As long as they wantonly attack the city, we will be able to defend the city with one enemy and ten places, and within a month, Lan Shixun's 270,000 army will be reduced by half, and then we will have the opportunity to fight a fair battle with him!"

"Let me go!" Without waiting for Han Xiao's words to fall, Lu Yifan suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "I am a vanguard general, so I am naturally responsible for this kind of leading matter!"

"No!" Han Xiao shook his head resolutely and said, "The Black Armor Army we attacked is camped north of Xiaofeng Slope, which means that if you want to sneak attack the Black Armor Army, you must cross through the hundreds of thousands of troops to have a chance, and once you fight with the Black Armor Army, it will inevitably cause a riot in Lan Shixun's camp, and it will be even more difficult to cross back from the hundreds of thousands of troops at that time! In this matter, I still have to select a group of dead soldiers from the army!"

"Lord Han, although the dead soldiers in the army dare to fight hard, they may not be the masters of one by one!" Lu Yifan said solemnly, "If they fail to cross the army and are discovered in advance, then they will be dead, in that case, not only will we not achieve our goal of provoking Wei Li, but will also lose a group of loyal and brave men in vain, which is too worthless! And among the disciples of my Soul Sect, there are some shrewd and capable people, especially those who are not weak in cultivation and are highly skilled, even if they are discovered in advance, they may be able to find a chance to escape." So let me take someone there, I won't disappoint Lord Han!"

"No, no, no, I think I'll go!" Although what Lu Yifan said made some sense, Han Xiao still couldn't rest assured, "If you have three longs and two shorts, then Ling'er will never forgive me in this life......"

"Lord Han is the commander of the army, if you go, then who will be in charge of the army?" Lu Yifan said righteously, "What's more, since I am a forward general, then I will inevitably bear the brunt of it, if Lord Han treats me differently because I am your son-in-law, and asks me to avoid danger everywhere, I am afraid that this will chill the hearts of the soldiers!"

"This ......"

"Don't worry, Lord Han, I have Liu Sandao, Ji Yuan, Xie Yun, and Lu Jun beside me, and they will definitely be fine!" Lu Yifan smiled lightly, "And the Emperor personally invited us from Xihuang Mountain, the Soul Sect must always do something, otherwise what is the difference between us here and without us?" What's more, with the current situation of Jinling City, I am afraid that it will not last long, even if we successfully attack the Black Armor Army, but Wei Li and Lan Shixun will have a dispute for a while, Lord Han's purpose is to stimulate these rebels to take the initiative to attack the city, so as to take this opportunity to greatly weaken them, and the defensive battle is by no means a one-day completion, even if the 270,000 army stays there and let us kill it, we will kill it for a few days and nights, not to mention that Lan Shixun and Wei Li are not fools, they will definitely not let their soldiers die in vain, so the whole process will take a month, and it cannot guarantee that Lan Shixun's soldiers and horses will be reduced to less than 100,000 before Jinling City is completely cut off from water and food, so everything is still unknown to us, the so-called dangerous moves, this step is very important, judging from the current situation in the army, I am afraid that only those of us who can be qualified for this sneak attack mission!"

"Yifan, you must know that this matter is not trivial......

"I'm willing to make a military order!" Before Han Xiao finished speaking, Lu Yifan said abruptly, "If this sneak attack fails, I am willing to die to apologize!"

"Sect Master!" As soon as Lu Yifan's words came out, he immediately attracted an exclamation from everyone in the Soul Sect.

"I've made up my mind, you don't have to say more!" Lu Yifan stared straight at Han Xiao, but his tone was as firm as iron, "As far as the current situation is concerned, this may be our only chance to defeat Lan Shixun's 270,000 rebels. Lord Han, please give the order!"

The muscles on Han Xiao's face seemed to tremble slightly, he stared at Lu Yifan tightly, and after the two looked at each other for a long time, Han Xiao said word by word as if he had exhausted his life's strength: "Lu Yifan obeys his orders, I order you to take five hundred people to attack the camp at night at dawn tomorrow and burn the heavy treasures in his camp!"

"Lu Yifan, take the order!"
