Chapter 30: The City in Hand
The place where the yellow light landed was somewhere in the center of the city, and under the cover of the gloomy clouds and rain, even if people outside the city could see some faint yellow light, they couldn't see what the yellow light was, let alone who was in it.
But as the Shenmu Flying Crane got closer and closer to the ground, more and more Yunqin people in the city realized who it was... Under the orders of some generals and colonels, all of whom understood that it was as safe as possible for the reckless army to know, they kept absolute silence and did not make any loud shouts, but because of the excitement, many people's bodies trembled in silence.
Jiang Xiaoyi was still walking through the city alleys, commanding.
He knew that there was probably only one opportunity and an order left before the attack of the reckless army, and a big battle could start at any time. In order to ensure his mental state and physical strength, he took a dry cloth and wiped the rain on his face and dripping on his neck. Then he also saw the Divine Wood Flying Crane descending from the sky. "Long time no see. Just like when Qin Xiyue realized that it was Lin Xi who came, he smiled, but said this sentence in his heart with some solemn and indescribable emotion.
"Coming?"
In the Wuwei View, Tang Chuqing, who received the news, also walked out of the wooden building with a butter paper umbrella and greeted Lin Xi's arrival in the open space in the view.
Although there are not many traces of time on his face, he is actually the same as Gu Yunjing, the most qualified and powerful existence in the entire Yunqin military.
It's just that in this decisive battle, there are too many people who can sing and cry, Tang Chuqing feels that even in front of some ordinary sergeants, he has no qualifications to be proud, and now this person who arrived at the Dongjing Mausoleum in the wind and rain is even more worthy of his respect and even awe by putting down all his figures.
......
Lin Xi didn't waste any time.
Under the guidance of a Yun Qin general, Shenmu Feihe flew directly into Wuwei Guan and landed in front of this old man who had participated in the defense of the Falling Star Mausoleum, so the vicissitudes in his eyes always seemed to be more than ordinary people.
Lin Xi was the first to step down the Shenmu Flying Crane.
Gao Yanan and Bian Linghan walked down behind him.
Li Wu directly opened an umbrella, bowed down to Tang Chuqing, and then directly rested the handle of the umbrella on the Shenmu Flying Crane, and immediately began to rest under the umbrella.
Lin Xi saluted to Tang Chuqing, and it was Yun Qin's disciple salute.
Tang Chuqing didn't have any surprised expression, he first saluted Lin Xi and Gao Yanan and Bian Linghan behind him, and then glanced at the box that Bian Linghan was carrying, and solemnly bowed to the big box.
Because he could feel the big black breath in that box.
In this way, he can represent the respect for Dean Zhang in his heart.
"What do you want to say or ask?" After solemnly saluting, when he raised his body, he looked at Lin Xi calmly and calmly and said.
"I'm here with the garrison of Jin Tiezhen and the army transporting ordnance. There were no losses in ordnance, and more than 4,000 people were still able to fight, and they were making a detour towards Eastview... The next rain will wash away some of their traces, and eventually they will reach the vicinity of Wuliu Town, and they will definitely not be able to break through the Damang army to reach the city at present, I made an appointment with them, and they will attack Eastview City at full speed when they see the beacon smoke I emitted. In the previous secret report from Qingluan Academy, Lin Xi already knew Tang Chuqing's identity, and also knew that this was the person who was the most proficient at guarding the city in the entire Yunqin, so he didn't have any greetings about his identity, but just said this sentence first in the posture of asking questions.
"Previously, we learned that a heavy cavalry army had gone to intercept our army from Jin Tiezhen, but all outside the city had been controlled by the Da Mang army. Now that you can make them preserve this kind of combat power, and get close to a place like Wuliu Town, it gives me more confidence. Tang Chuqing sincerely appreciated: "Your arrangement is very good, and investing in this army when necessary should play a big role." ”
Lin Xi nodded, "I'm looking at it from above, it seems that the Da Mang army is not in a hurry to attack, and you don't waste the strength of the soldiers to plug those gaps in the city wall, do you want to directly engage in street fighting?"
Tang Chuqing looked at Lin Xi and explained in a calm and patient voice: "This reckless army of 80,000 people, since you have the confidence to conquer my Dongjingling, there must be some powerful means that will not be displayed until wartime, for me, the denser the population, the greater the risk." A battle of this level is destined to be a battle to the death, and the vast majority of people here will die, whether it is Yun Qin or Da Mang. I will make the best use of everything, and I will use up the ordnance on the walls at the cost of the death of some of the soldiers... The significance of the walls in this battle is limited to this. Eastview City is very large, the deeper the battlefield, the more traps can be arranged, even if this reckless army will have some powerful killer features, such a large battlefield, we will have more variables. I don't hide it, I don't repair the walls, on the one hand, the next battle will not end soon, it will be hard, I must preserve the physical strength of the soldiers as much as possible, on the other hand, I let the reckless army see my intentions very clearly, they will definitely weigh it, and they will have to reformulate a lot of plans... Now that such an effect has been revealed, and now that they are not attacking, it shows that they are hesitating, weighing, arranging... This can take them a lot of time, we are the defenders, we have enough time, we can defend for ten days and half a month, but they only have three days, so the more time it takes... The more time they run out of time at the end, the more impatient they will be, the less they will have options, and even do things that cost a lot to gain time. For us, it's more opportunities. ”
After a pause, Tang Chuqing looked at Lin Xi deeply and said, "For the city defenders, for us Yunqin people, the city is actually not important, all these houses and pavilions in here are all destroyed, and they can be built in the future." As long as our people are here and the spirit of Yun Qin is there, we can defend this city, and these things can be rebuilt in the future. The most important thing to defend the city is will. If everyone in the city forgets the city wall from the beginning, the city wall is not there, it will have no effect on us, but for the other side... There will be no joy in capturing the city wall, but in the following street battles, there will be less and less confidence and will. ”
There are some truths that Lin Xi didn't expect, some truths Lin Xi originally understood, and some words made Lin Xi understand more truths, he thought about it, in this terrible quiet big city in the rain, looked at the vague city wall in the distance, and asked, "Do you need me to do anything now?"
"In the past, the Falling Star Mausoleum dealt with the 300,000 troops of the Southern Moroccan Kingdom, and my father was the top general of the defenders in the city, but in fact, the commander-in-chief was Dean Zhang. Now in the East King's Tomb, I am the top general of the military in the city, but in fact, the commander-in-chief, of course, will be you. Tang Chuqing smiled in this gloomy drizzly weather, in the yellow leaves of Wuweiguan, took out a scroll from his sleeve, and handed it to Lin Xi: "This chessboard in Dongjing City, I have already helped you pave it, one horizontal and one vertical, the lines on the board are drawn, all the forces in the city are in this information, you next, you have to use the shortest time to read this volume of information, and then start to play this game of chess and command this battle." From now on, I am also a pawn in your hands, waiting for you to fill me somewhere at some point, where I should go. ”
Lin Xi was silent, his face was calm and did not change much, but he knew the weight of this, and when he took the scroll, his hands trembled slightly, and his eyelashes twitched slightly.
"I know this is going to be very difficult for you, even if Dean Zhang... It's also very difficult to make a lot of decisions. Tang Chuqing looked at Lin Xi's eyes and said with a smile: "From your eyes, I only saw the same unbearable and heavy as Dean Zhang at the beginning, but I didn't see the kind of panic that I wasn't sure of my strength, so not only because I knew Vice Dean Xia... I believe in my own eyes, you are indeed the same person as Dean Zhang, so you should also understand that only you can take on this mission. ”
After a slight pause, the old man, who had experienced the battle of the Falling Star Tomb when he was thirteen years old, slowly retracted the smile on his face, turned around and stood side by side with Lin Xi to look at the city wall of the Eastern Jingling Tomb in the distance, and said solemnly: "Back then, Dean Zhang and seventeen strong men of the academy fought against the army of the Southern Morocco Kingdom... Although you are not as strong as Dean Zhang now, and we don't have as many powerful cultivators as we did back then, we have so many Yun Qin soldiers, and the other party is not as strong as the army of the Southern Mo Kingdom back then. We will make them pay the price they deserve. ”
Lin Xi's brows furrowed slightly, just because he was thinking quickly.
Lin Xi took a deep breath, didn't say anything more, walked to the nearest wooden building, unfolded the scroll in his hand, and unfolded this city, and unfolded the people of this city.
......
Strips of rain fall down the eaves and sprinkle on the plantain leaves.
Several ordinary Taoists in the Wuwei Temple began to stroke the qin quietly, and some other people in the view quietly cooked hot tea and hot soup.
In some of Lin Xi's earliest orders, two generals in the army took the high-ranking Brass Eagle Eye and Bian Linghan to the Shenmu Flying Crane.
Some of the army's heralds, flag bearers, and beacon smokers also began to rearrange in the city.
Lin Xi saw Jiang Xiaoyi's name in the scroll in his hand, and saw the names of some other familiar Zhige students, imagining that they were in this city, a smile appeared on the corner of Lin Xi's mouth.
Then, he saw a lot of names that had just appeared in Zhongzhou City not long ago.
The strength and attitude represented by these names made him awe-inspired, and the fire in his chest burned more and more violently.
