Chapter 264: The Three Armies Succeed
Torches swirled in the air and flew down to Lin Haotian's surroundings, covering the place where he was as bright as day.
The other party saw Lin Haotian clearly, and Lin Haotian also saw the other party clearly.
There were a large number of wooden troops in front, not to mention two or three hundred people, Lin Haotian endured his lungs as if they were about to explode, and raised his long knife upside down, putting on a posture of facing the battle.
"Kill—"
The wooden army shouted and charged at Lin Haotian, people seemed to have forgotten life and death, knowing that they would be killed if they stepped forward, but they should have rushed up one after another.
Dealing with these ordinary wooden soldiers, Lin Haotian was a little unable to lift his spirits, and the long knife was waved, and in an instant, more than ten people had fallen under his knife.
It's not a way to go on like this, the wooden army has fused the crowd tactics and the wheel tactics together, and if it continues like this, he will be exhausted to death by the other party!
Lin Haotian secretly pondered in his heart while fighting, considering whether he would quit first, bring enough helpers and then kill again.
As he was thinking, two men dressed as wooden soldiers rushed in front of him, and two war knives slashed Lin Haotian's head.
Lin Haotian didn't think about it, the horizontal knife parried, and after blocking the opponent's killing move, the long knife in his hand pushed outward, and a wooden soldier couldn't dodge, and the long knife that was pushed over was hit in the chest.
Hearing only a pounce, the wooden soldier's chest was cut open, and he fell on his back screaming, but the other wooden soldier was very alert, and his body quickly lowered down, and he was able to dodge this fatal knife.
Unexpectedly, this wooden soldier's reaction was quite fast, Lin Haotian picked up the spirit knife, and then immediately cut down Huashan, the wooden soldier hurriedly held the knife in both hands to parry, and when there was a loud sound, the long knife cut his war knife out of a big gap. Nearly snapped his knife.
One move missed, Lin Haotian's back move also arrived immediately, and the kick below hit the wooden soldier's chest hard, and the latter's body flew out sideways, hitting the wall with a muffled sound. Bounce to the ground.
Lin Haotian wanted to go over and make up for it, but the new wooden soldiers in front of him attracted his attention.
He thought that even if he didn't kick the wooden soldier to death, he would have to take half his life, but this time he miscalculated, the wooden soldier was lying on the ground, although he spit out a mouthful of blood arrows, but looking at his flickering cold eyes, it was obvious that he was out of his mind.
The wooden soldier did not get up immediately, but quickly reached into his arms. took out a metal cylinder, aimed at Lin Haotian, who was fighting next to him, and violently pulled the mechanism of the metal cylinder.
Hearing a crisp click, a strangely shaped steel arrow shot out of the metal barrel, heading straight for Lin Haotian's chest.
What is it? That is, Lin Haotian, even when he was fighting, he still looked at the six roads and listened to the eight directions, and suddenly something flew from under his body. He had no time to dodge, so he could only lean back as far back as he could. With a thud, the steel arrow did not hit him in the chest, but plunged deep into his left shoulder.
The power of this arrow was so great that it completely broke through the armor on his body, and more than half of the arrow body did not enter Lin Haotian's body.
The latter felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, followed by a sharp pain in his shoulder. The whole left arm began to go numb, and he couldn't exert any strength.
Damn it! Lin Haotian didn't know if there was any poison on the other party's hidden weapon, where did he dare to stay for a long time, so he hurriedly slashed out two knives and retreated from the enemy in front of him. Then, he pulled back and hurried back the way he came.
Lin Haotian came slowly, cautiously, but the speed of running was fast enough, and he continuously cast a shadow drift, and after a few dodges, the person disappeared
Mu still wanted to chase and kill, but after running a few steps, he saw that the other party had already run away and couldn't even see the figure, so he had to give up the plan to chase down.
Let's say that Lin Haotian didn't dare to delay for a moment in the tunnel, and returned the same way as fast as possible and retreated.
At this time, outside the tunnel, not only Dou Bo, Ling Wuya, Shao Lin were here, Chu Lianyu, Peng Qian and others had also arrived, and people were waiting anxiously at the entrance of the tunnel, looking inside a few times from time to time.
When Lin Haotian came out of the tunnel, everyone present was startled, and it was clear that it was Lin Haotian, and the hearts of people who mentioned their throats and eyes finally fell back, and they all gathered around and said, "My lord, you can figure it out......"
Before the words fell, they saw that Lin Haotian still had a bright steel arrow stuck in his shoulder, and people were shocked again, and said in shock: "My lord, are you injured?"
After running for so long, Lin Haotian didn't feel anything strange about himself, he had already confirmed that the arrow was not poisonous, he looked around at the people who showed concern on his face, smiled nonchalantly, and said, "It's nothing, it's just a small injury." ”
After a pause, seeing that everyone was still staring at their wounds, Lin Haotian raised his eyebrows and scolded: "I'm not dead yet, why are you crying?"
I don't know what he wants pen and paper for, and he thought that Lin Haotian was going to write a suicide note, so people stepped forward one after another and said in unison: "Adults can't ......"
The tunnels below Guxue Town are intricate, and without the guidance of a map, it would be a life and death to enter the town. Also, send an order to the new army in front, let Linghu Gao temporarily be stationed outside the town, don't rush in easily!"
Oh! People breathe a sigh of relief, because adults are going to draw maps!
Some guards agreed again and again, and hurried to find a pen and paper, while Lin Haotian returned to the temporary camp under the careful protection of everyone.
As soon as he entered the Chinese military tent, Lin Haotian picked up the pen, his upper body did not move, only leaning on his right arm, and drew sketches.
After drawing the layout of the tunnels in his memory, Lin Haotian handed it over to Shao Lin and asked him to send it to Linghu Gao, and launched an attack on the layout of the tunnels.
The map drawn by Lin Haotian brought great convenience to Ling Hu Gao, knowing the layout of the tunnels under the town, Ling Hu Gao used all the means he could use, either by fire, or by smoking, or directly digging up the tunnels from above to destroy the buildings in Guxue Town, Ling Hu Gao directly ordered to set fire to them, leaving no one behind, so that the tunnels that the Mu Jun had carefully excavated were useless.
Under the wreak havoc of the Jin army, many wooden soldiers hidden in the tunnels were disgraced, but as soon as they appeared, they were greeted by the Jin army's broadswords and axes.
In the end, the Jin army did not occupy Guxue Town, but directly burned the town to ashes, after the Jin Army, the original town was gone, only a piece of dilapidated rubble remained, and Guxue Town disappeared from then on.
The progress on Lin Haotian's side was full of twists and turns, but the three people sent out earlier came back with good news one after another.
Zhang Bufan and Jin Cheng, who attacked Shanliu Town, annihilated the defenders in the town and easily occupied them, while Song Yu and Yang Xiu, who attacked Jingyi Town, and Bai Phosphorus and Wu Tao, who attacked the fortress of the Mu Army, also won easily, and the Mu Army was defeated and returned to Ningyang without even making a decent resistance.
In addition to Lin Haotian's accidental injury, it can be said that the Jin army took the outer defense line of Ningyang lightly and attacked the city of Ningyang in one fell swoop.
Lin Haotian did not recruit Zhang Bufan, Song Yu, and Bai Phosphorus back, but ordered them to be stationed in the north, south and west of Ningyang respectively, only defending and not attacking, as long as the wooden people in the city were strictly prevented from escaping.
He himself personally commanded the army and was stationed outside the eastern city of Ningyang.
Ningyang is too big, although the Jin army has more than 200,000 people, it is impossible to besiege Ningyang, and it can only block Ningyang's main passage to the outside world.
Because of his injuries, Lin Haotian could not go to the battlefield in person, so he handed over the command of the siege to Dou Bo and let Dou Bo be fully responsible.
Dou Bo made a tentative attack on the side of the eastern city, but was met with stubborn resistance from the defenders in the city, above the city, arrows rained down, rolling wood and stones were like hail, and the stone-throwing machines in the city kept catapulting boulders, all of which brought great damage to the attacking Jin army.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Dou Bo did not continue the strong attack and ordered the whole army to retreat.
Dou Bo returned to the camp and returned to Lin Haotian.
Seeing that he came back so quickly, Lin Haotian knew the result without asking.
Dou Bo opened his mouth and said: "My lord, the defense of Ningyang City is very strong, if our army attacks strongly, it will not only be difficult to break through, but will only increase casualties. ”
This was already expected by Lin Haotian, he sat behind the table, endured the sharp pain on his shoulder, and said slowly: "Didn't we discuss it at the beginning, attacking Ningyang, we must focus on fire attack, gather our army's city-breaking crossbows and army-breaking crossbows, apply oil pine to the crossbow arrows, and burn the city with rockets." ”
"But...... Ningyang is too big, if you want to burn the city with rockets, you will mainly prepare a large number of arrows!"
"Then go and prepare!" Lin Haotian frowned and said, "Wangfeng County is full of woodland, are you still afraid that there will be no arrows available?"
"Yes! The last general will arrange for men to make crossbow arrows. ”
"Yes!"
The Jin army was temporarily stationed outside Ningyang City, and a large number of Jin soldiers went to the woodland near Ningyang to cut trees, and pulled the felled towering trees back to the camp to make crossbow arrows on trebuchets.
During this time, the Jin army did not attack the city again, and the defenders in the city did not break through to the outside, and it seems that the Mu army has made a determination to live and die with Ningyang. (To be continued......)
