Chapter 81: The Coup in the City of Spiritual Heart (Part II)
The Lingxin area is the garrison of the Wind Spirit Legion, and due to the relatively large number of troops, there are garrison barracks on the north and south sides of the main city.
The southern barracks are close to the Sara Mountains and are also an important link between east and west. The northern barracks are located on the peninsula and are surrounded by the sea on three sides, which is relatively tight, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter. There are two seaports on the peninsula, both of which are exclusively for the military, and the civilian ports are both outside the main city area of Lingxin.
That night, in one of the sea voyages, in an open field, a large number of people gathered here. Yi Yunhe appeared in the center of everyone, looking around.
Originally, after he came back from Gu Youzhi today, he had been pestered by Xu Yi, and then he finally found an excuse to get rid of him, so he just hurriedly gathered all the soldiers who were willing to listen to him, so that everyone was ready to fight at night, and came to this port to gather, and they were going to turn against Xu Ting here tonight.
According to what he said to Gu Youzhi before, he did not solicit the consent of most people. After looking around for a week, he also had a bottom in his heart, and the men and horses he could gather in this camp were about less than thirty percent. The number in the camp in the south of the city is even smaller, only 20%. This was still summoned by him in the name of Ender, and if he ordered them to rebel against the Wind Spirits, it is estimated that no one would pay attention to him.
Feeling that it was almost time to come, Yi Yunhe stopped everyone's discussion and said to them: "I summoned everyone here today, mainly for the matter of the secret edict of the Spirit King. Xu Ting ignored the order of the Spirit King and ignored the life-and-death war of our clan. Monopolizing the power of the wind spirit, but not making corresponding requisitions, is really a shame for everyone in my spirit clan. ”
"The Spirit King intends to take back the military power of the Wind Spirit, only for the sake of the people of the whole clan, to resist foreign invasions, and to avoid the suffering of war. But in order to do so, we must borrow your strength. You are all generals and leaders among the wind spirits, and you are all elites among the elites, if you can be reused by the spirit king, the road will be wider in the future. ”
At this time, a voice came from the crowd, "If it is for the benefit of our own clan, we should follow, not to mention that the Spirit King has already given an order." Brother Yi, just say what we should do, we will do our best. ”
As soon as Yi Yunhe heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that these people would not cooperate. "Tonight you will each mobilize your own troops, the brothers in the north camp will listen to me, and the south camp will be arranged by the brother of the valley of Gu You. Our troops are divided into north and south, guarding the road from north to south into the city, and preventing Xu Ting's reinforcements from entering the city. At the same time, I sent several teams of men and horses to fight with me and Brother Gu into the city, and directly took Xu Ting's life. Due to the large number of troops in the north and south camps, in order to ensure safety, regardless of success or failure, after holding out for half an hour, all of them headed to the east and gathered outside the east gate. At that time, even if we are defeated today, we can wait for the help of the Spirit King and then try to attack the city. ”
Everyone said that they understood, Yi Yunhe's plan was explained very clearly, and it was pointed out regardless of advance or retreat, which made people know what to do.
"In addition, some officials in the city have joined us and will give us intelligence transmission or guard clearance to cooperate with our operation. In this way, we have one more chance of winning. Yi Yunhe continued to add that he said this completely to reassure everyone.
After Yi Yunhe made the arrangements, he dismissed everyone first, went back to make their own preparations, and waited for orders. He was the first to enter Lingxin City and meet Gu Youzhi.
Gu Youzhi also arranged everything here, just waiting for Yi Yunhe's news. Seeing him coming to him, he hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about the situation.
"Brother Gu, I've already made arrangements over there, just wait for an order to act together. Although we do not have many people, as long as we occupy the favorable terrain and defend the north and south gates, we will have a chance to turn defeat into victory. Yi Yunhe reported to Gu Youzhi.
"I'll let you leave a good way out, in case of failure, we will save our lives. ”
"I arranged a road to the west of the city, guarded by General Wen from Beiying, which is absolutely reliable. ”
"Chengxi, do you want to get out of the city from the west?"
"If the matter fails, Xu Ting will definitely pursue to the east, because the Heavenly Spirit is in the east, and the meeting point of everyone is at the east gate, so their focus must be on the east. We took this opportunity to go out through the West Gate, and then look for an opportunity to return to the East Spirit, so that it would be absolutely safe. Yi Yunhe smiled coldly, looking so ruthless.
Gu Youzhi also smiled, "If you really have you, that's it." ”
Late at night, Xu Ting stood alone at the top of one of the highest palaces in the inner city, looking out. This is one of the few high places in the Lingxin City, and standing here, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Lingxin, including the north and south gates.
Suddenly, a loud noise was heard from the north, and from the main entrance of the barracks in the north, the flames could be seen soaring into the sky, and the sky was illuminated by the firelight as if it were daylight. After a while, the same situation appeared in the south.
Xu Ting looked to the north and south respectively, but he was not surprised, as if he had expected it. He smiled and said to himself, "Those who have died are here, and tonight's Wind Spirit Legion will perish with you." ”
Xu Ting blew a whistle, and out of nowhere, a Sky Eagle suddenly flew out, and its size was two laps larger than the one Fu Ping had ridden. The hair on the top and bottom of the body is fiery red, except for a pinch of black hair on the top of the head, which looks majestic and majestic.
As the Aquila approached the palace, Xu Ting jumped up and landed on its back. Then he rode the Aquila towards the north of the city.
Although Xu Ting didn't know Yi Yunhe's specific plan, he had already prepared. In the city, it was already guarded by a large number of sergeants. In addition, the retreat in the east-west direction has long been sealed. There is only the west road guarded by General Wen, which can still allow them to escape, and the rest of the roads are all dead ends.
After the war began, Gu Youzhi and Yi Yunhe each led a team to attack the inner city from the north and south respectively. The outer city area is a prosperous place, and there are few guards along the way, and with the help of the city officials, you will soon reach the inner city. But as soon as they entered the inner city, they suddenly rushed out a team, which was by no means less than the total number of their two teams. The first two people stood out, Yi Yunhe and they knew each other, it was Zhang Yanshao next to Xu Ting and a person named Bailimo.
These two people are both capable men around Xu Ting, just talking about Bailimo, if Yi Yunhe and the two of them join forces, they should be able to do it. However, there is also a Zhang Yanshao who doesn't know how to do it, which makes the two dare not attack blindly.
"Why are there so many people in this inner city?" Lingxin Inner City has always only left guards at various entrances and exits, and there will be no troops stationed in this place where officials can live, so when he saw it today, Yi Yunhe felt particularly surprised.
Gu Youzhi was the first to react, "It's not good, they have been prepared, and the journey has been so smooth just to lead us here." First, it won't disturb the residents of the outer city, and second, it is more spacious and can take care of us all. ”
Yi Yunhe had the heart to cry, "Don't explain anymore, let's withdraw quickly." ”
The two thought of this, and hurriedly took advantage of the fact that the gate of the inner city was not closed, and led the team to withdraw immediately. How could Zhang Yanshao let go of this good opportunity, when he saw Gu Youzhi and them withdrawing, he was first surprised, he didn't expect the other party to withdraw so quickly, and then together with Baili Mo, he led their respective teams to chase and kill them directly.
On the north gate, after the brigade led by Yi Yunhe took the north gate, they cut off the connection between the military camp and the main city. It didn't take long for the military camp to receive the news, and Xu Yi, who had been secretly preparing for a long time, rushed here with a large group of people.
In terms of numbers, Xuyi has an absolute advantage here, but Yi Yunhe's team should be fine if they only hold on here for a while with the help of the location.
Everyone thought they could hold on, but as soon as the two sides started fighting, their own rear team suddenly became chaotic. The general who led the team on Yi Yunhe's side looked at the rear, and was suddenly taken aback.
Seeing that Xu Ting rode the crimson Sky Eagle and led the small number of Sky Cavalry troops in the Wind Spirit Legion, he directly attacked from the south sky.
This sudden change made everyone change color at the same time, they themselves are a member of the Wind Spirit Legion, Xu Ting's bravery and the power of the Heavenly Horse Force in the legion are clear to everyone. When they suddenly appeared here, they were already in disarray, and they couldn't take care of the front and back.
On the south gate, the situation was similar to that of the north gate, and when everyone had just fought with the army led by Pei Yunzhuo who came from the south camp, a group of people suddenly appeared behind the formation.
What appeared here was a heavily armored unit led by Xu Ting's general Qi Peng, who rushed in with a special iron-walled formation of heavy armor. Although its lethality is not as great as that of Xu Ting's side, the solid protection and fearless charge are enough for everyone.
The situation was similar to that of the north and south gates, which were expected to hold out for half an hour, but after only a quarter of an hour, the north side was the first to hold on. Led by its leader, the general, fled to the east. Xu Ting handed over the task of pursuit to Xu Yi, and he turned around and headed towards the west of the city.
The south gate was soon lost, and the pursuit was also handed over to Pei Yunzhuo, while Qi Peng headed for the west of the city alone.
On a road in the west of the city, He Junren and a hundred soldiers were waiting here. Suddenly, a ghostly light flashed on the ground, and Bian Lu came out with it, walking towards here.
"Brother Bian, there is a result. He Junren hurriedly asked.
Bian Lu nodded, "The fifth route, let's go now." ”
He Junren gave an order and took these people to follow Bian Lu.
On the fifth route in Bian Lu's mouth, General Nawen mentioned by Yi Yunhe waited anxiously, and he took his team of about 200 people to solve the team of Xu Ting, who was originally guarding here, and also opened the road to the city gate, just waiting for Yi Yunhe and the two to come here.
However, what he was waiting for was Bian Lu and He Junren. The characteristics of the demons who are good at night fighting, coupled with the unexpected sneak attack and He Junren's extraordinary ability, quickly settled here. However, He Junren also suffered casualties on his side, and about forty percent of the casualties they brought to his subordinates.
As soon as the battle ended, Yi Yunhe and Gu Youzhi broke away from their team and fled eastward and came here.
As soon as the two arrived, they realized that something was wrong, and none of the people here they knew, so they immediately became vigilant.
At this time, the chirping of an eagle was heard in the sky, and Xu Ting also rushed here from the air. He jumped down, jumped from above the Sky Eagle, and stood directly in front of Gu Youzhi and Yi Yunhe.
At this time, the two realized that something was wrong, and the road ahead was completely blocked. So, when Xu Ting jumped from the air and had not yet landed, they hurriedly turned around and fled back.
But before they could take two steps, the two of them were shocked again. Qi Peng quickened his pace, and at this time he had already come to the two of them. Bian Lu also appeared beside him with the technique of earth escape, surrounding the two of them.
