Chapter 285: Defeat and return to the city
Li Peng secretly laughed in his heart, Xu Changfang was conceited and impulsive, and seeing that he was in such a big limelight today, it is estimated that tomorrow the Jin army will challenge again, and he will definitely go out of the city to fight.
However, Li Peng also has hidden worries in his heart, the strength of the three golden generals who fought against him today is not bad, but it is only good, relying only on these people, Xu Changfang will not be defeated in battle, as for whether there are more powerful generals in the Jin camp, he does not know.
The battle of Xiangyang on the first day ended with the hasty withdrawal of the Jin army, which did not launch a substantive attack, but only sent generals to challenge. The wooden army not only sent generals to meet the battle on the side of Beicheng, but also had people on the other three sides, and both sides had their own victories and defeats, as well as casualties.
It seems that the siege battle of the Jin army is not in a hurry, and it is calm, but in fact, the atmosphere in the Chinese army tent in the Jin camp has been frozen to the extreme.
The news just received that Nie Xing, the monarch of the You Kingdom, and Chu Chen, the monarch of the Yan Kingdom, had jointly issued a text against the rebellion, and sharply accused Lin Haotian of wanton rebellion, using the reconquest of the lost territory as an excuse to invade other countries, causing continuous wars in the Abyss Continent, and decided to jointly send troops to fight.
In this context, the current situation in the country has taken a sharp turn for the worse and has become precarious.
At this time, the Jin army that entered the wood country must be quickly decided, so as to rush back to the country to save themselves, and the battle of Xiangyang can no longer be delayed, Lin Haotian estimates that in terms of the current situation, if he can't enter Liangzhou after three days, the army can only retreat.
In three days, with a force similar to that of the defenders, he captured a capital of a country with strong defenses and armed to the teeth, and the pressure on Lin Haotian can be imagined.
But fortunately, his ability to resist pressure is very strong, even in such a tense situation, he still has a smile on his face, and he can't see the slightest urgency. If Lin Haotian is not chaotic, the whole army will not be chaotic. The more calm and relaxed Lin Haotian became, the more the soldiers around him could feel a sense of security.
That night, Lin Haotian raised the tent and discussed tomorrow's battle with the generals under his command.
He said straight to the point: "Extraordinary, tomorrow, you will fight!"
Zhang Bufan's spirit was shocked. Then he asked uncertainly: "My lord, will you fight hard or defeat in the end?"
Lin Haotian smiled and said: "Fight hard! If I am not wrong, the first person to come out to meet tomorrow will be Li Peng, and you must win him, only in this way can you lure Xu Changfang out of the city." When you fight Xu Changfang, if you are completely sure that you can kill him, kill him immediately. If not, push back as far as you can, and I'll disguise myself as a normal soldier and blend in with the soldiers who will go with you. ”
Hearing this, all the generals were shocked and shouted: "Absolutely not! How can you go to battle when you have just recovered from your arrow wounds?"
Lin Haotian looked around at everyone, waved his hand and smiled. said: "This time, I am mainly engaged in sneak attacks, and I am not going to fight with Xu Changfang with real swords and guns. You don't have to worry too much. ”
That's right, but on the battlefield, how can it not be dangerous, not to mention that the opponent is still the powerful Xu Changfang.
Shao Lin took a step forward and arched his hand and said, "My lord, this time it's up to us Demon Martial Artists to do it! As long as General Zhang can lead Xu Changfang to the front." We're absolutely going to keep him coming and going. ”
It is indeed much better to do it by Xu Changfang than to do it yourself. Lin Haotian knew very well that his current condition was not only injured, but also that the spiritual energy in his body was far from recovering.
He pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement. However, he still told him uneasily: "There can't be too many brothers sent, otherwise let the other party find out, and our efforts will be in vain." ”
Shao Lin arched his hand and said, "Don't worry, my subordinates understand." ”
"En!" Lin Haotian was still very confident in the Demon Martial Arts, he nodded, didn't say anything more, and then discussed the list of the other three battalions of generals with everyone, and then let everyone go back to rest.
After the people left one after another, Lin Haotian's originally straight body leaned back, and he sighed faintly in the sky. Now, he can only pray silently in his heart that he can succeed in one blow tomorrow and kill Xu Changfang.
The next day, early in the morning, the Jin army kicked off the siege again.
As the day before, the Jin army still only put on a posture of attacking the city, but did not make a substantive attack, and only sent military generals to beg for scolding in front of the city.
Under the order of Lin Haotian, Zhang Bufan led the two thousand Jin army to bear the brunt of the killing to the north city of Xiangyang, a stone's throw away from the city, stopped, and then Zhang Bufan urged the horse to step forward alone, shouting at the city: "I am Zhang Bufan, the general of the Jin Kingdom, the little boy of the wooden army, which one came out to die?"
Zhang Bufan's title of lieutenant general was not added by himself, but by Lin Haotian himself, after the last battle of Yucheng, Lin Haotian deliberately added Zhang Bufan's official position.
Above the city, hearing the Jin general outside claiming to be a lieutenant general, Xu Changfang's heart couldn't help but feel a commotion. Yesterday, Li Peng only defeated three unknown golden generals, and was touted by Li Qi to the sky, and he was cheeky to ask for credit in front of the king.
Xu Changfang was thinking in his heart, Li Peng really took the initiative to come out to ask for help, and wanted to go out of the city to fight with the Jin generals.
Seeing that Li Peng was going to fight again, Xu Changfang was unhappy, he had already been in the limelight yesterday, could he still be in the limelight today......?" This ......"
When he was pondering how to phrase to reject Li Peng, the generals around him had already said: "Today, General Li will definitely be able to defeat the gold thief with the remnants of yesterday's successive battles!"
"That's right, if General Li fights, our side will win!"
"General, let General Li go to war!"
Everyone was gossiping, beating the side drum for Li Peng, so Xu Changfang couldn't find a suitable excuse to oppose it, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, and he showed a little smile, and then pretended to be calm and said: "Okay, General Li Peng should go to battle this time, but since the person who came is a lieutenant general of the Jin country, he wants to be very strong, General Li should be more careful!"
Li Peng laughed arrogantly on his back, and said proudly: "General Xu is too worried, just a golden thief, take his head, like probing for something!" As he spoke, he shook his robe and rushed down the city tower quickly.
The wooden army went out of the city to meet the battle, and Li Peng led 5,000 elite wooden troops to rush out.
Shao Lin and the others, who were watching the battle in the back, saw that it was indeed Xu Changfang who came out to meet the battle, and they all bowed their hands to Lin Haotian and said: "My lord is really like a god, the Mu army really sent Li Peng to fight the first battle." ”
Lin Haotian smiled and didn't say anything, but watched the situation on the battlefield closely.
At this time, on the battlefield ahead, Zhang Bufan and Li Peng had already reported each other's names and surnames, and it was a big knife against a big knife, circling in front of the two armies, and they had already fought in one place.
During the fight, Li Peng had clearly felt that Zhang Bufan's cultivation and skills were a cut above yesterday's Jin General, but they were not high enough to be able to kill Gao Shuping nine times out of ten.
Taking advantage of the momentum on the field, flying sand and rocks, Li Peng leaned in front of Zhang Bufan and asked, "General Lin sent you out to kill Xu Changfang?"
"That's right!" Zhang Bufan couldn't see Li Peng's expression, but he could hear the urgency and worry in his tone, and he said in a low voice: "My lord has already arranged the arrangements, as long as Xu Changfang fights, there is only a dead end." ”
"That's the best!" Li Peng shook his knife, pretending to be competing with Zhang Bufan, and said: "After more than 100 rounds, I will show you my flaws!"
Do you have to fight another hundred rounds? Zhang Bufan grinned secretly, although he did not use all his strength in the battle with Li Peng, but he also consumed his spiritual energy, and now that he has spent so much money, what will he do to fight Xu Changfang? Before he could reply, Li Peng had already urged the horse to pass by him.
The two fought for dozens of rounds, and in order to make the fight between the two real, both of them desperately released their martial arts skills, creating the illusion of fluctuations in strength on the battlefield.
The soldiers on both sides were far away from the battlefield, even if they could feel the dark qi, but it didn't have any effect, but the war horses that the two of them stepped on couldn't stand it, without warning, the two war horses fell to the ground almost at the same time, and the four hooves of the two horses were broken, kneeling on the ground, neighing again and again, but they couldn't stand up.
Without the war horse, the two became fighting under the step, only to see that on the battlefield, the two sometimes fought together, a series of metal collision sounds, and sometimes they retreated, releasing the martial arts skills to each other in the air, this big battle can be described as thrilling, ghost crying and howling.
The two of them fought hard for half an hour under the step, and finally Li Peng's old fist was hit on the forehead by Li Peng's inadvertent move, and with a crisp click, Li Peng's head armor was shattered, and even the steel helmet inside was cracked, and the cracked steel skin cut a big hole horizontally on Li Peng's forehead, and blood flowed all over his face in an instant.
Li Peng didn't expect Zhang Bufan's hand to be so heavy, so he screamed, turned around and ran back.
Zhang Bufan did not hesitate, and then pursued and killed, but soon, he was shot back by the arrow array of the wooden army. (To be continued......)
