Chapter 1194: Defeat
Yin Xiao took over the military affairs and immediately dispatched troops to take the initiative to attack.
Peng Niansheng, Chen Tingfeng and several other commanders led their troops to the designated place to set up an ambush, and the army went out of the city for twenty miles, and suddenly got the news that the forbidden army had traveled day and night, and had already passed the ambush site, and went straight to Haishi City.
Several Qu Shuai were surprised, and they did not dare to withdraw without Yin Xiao's order, so they sent people to return to Yin Xiao while selecting favorable terrain to settle down.
Peng, Chen and others gathered together to discuss, the men and horses they led were all the elite of the Golden Crow Sect, there were 30,000 people, although they had lost a good opportunity to set up an ambush at the moment, the forbidden army marched day and night, the soldiers were tired, and the Jin Crow Sect was waiting for work, not without a chance to win. Yin Xiao's style is tough, he ordered the generals to go out of the city to meet the attack, if they leave without a fight, there is no way to explain when they go back.
"The Forbidden Army came so fast. Lu Beixiong, an old horseman, is greedy for merit, and this is where he is buried. β
Chen Tingfeng failed in attacking Majiawu Fort, and these days he recruited troops and horses, and the troops recovered. is still a Qu Shuai who is the sole leader of the Golden Crow Sect.
The Rakshasa country is a bitter cold land, it just snowed a few days ago, the snow on the mountains has not melted, and the birds are extinct. There is no danger in the wilderness, and once the forbidden army arrives, it will be a battle of life and death.
Peng Niansheng ordered his soldiers to dig trenches for covert defense. After more than half an hour, the scouts brought orders from Yin Xiao to keep the enemy out of the city gate and kill and wound as many enemies as possible.
"How far away is the Forbidden Army?"
Peng Niansheng is old and serious, and he is not as optimistic as Chen Tingfeng.
"The ditch is handsome, less than ten miles. β
"Revisit. β
Peng Niansheng has never fought with the forbidden army, there is a saying, 'know yourself and know your opponent, you will not be defeated in a hundred battles', he knows very little about the forbidden army, so he is naturally not sure.
The soldiers and horses of the Jinwu Sect had just dug a trench and hid. I heard the rumbling sound of the chariot, and a group of chariots with copper skin and iron armor drove over, and the chariot was followed by countless Rakshasa soldiers, crowded and well-equipped, worthy of the imperial forbidden army.
"Why are there so many tanks?"
Peng Niansheng's face changed greatly, this kind of chariot is called a thunderbolt car, steel and iron armor, extremely heavy, and artillery is placed on the car, which is extremely lethal.
The forbidden army came quickly, gathering more and more, and the Golden Crow Sect was ready to fight, and the arrow was ready to be sent.
Peng Niansheng had no choice but to order: "Open fireβ"
The disciples of the Golden Crow Sect emerged from the trench, armed with guns, and fired fiercely at the forbidden army.
The forbidden army is in a strict formation, with the thunderbolt in front and the foot soldiers behind, driving straight in, as if entering a no-man's land. The flint of the gun is not a threat to the thunderbolt at all, and the wheels of the thunderbolt are also wrapped in fine iron, and the trek through mountains and rivers is like walking on the ground.
The soldiers and horses of the Golden Crow Sect hid in the trenches, and only those who were crushed by the thunderbolt carts were crushed.
Peng Niansheng watched the thunderbolt car rushing back and forth, although the disciples of the Golden Crow Sect fought bravely, after all, they were flesh and blood, and their protection was not as good as that of the Rakshasa soldiers, and they suffered heavy casualties in the battle.
............
In the evening, Yin Xiao and Wei Zhenyi received a battle report, Peng Niansheng and Chen Tingfeng fought unfavorably, and the casualties of the soldiers were not counted. The forbidden army Lu Beixiong has broken through the defense of the Golden Crow Sect, and it will not be long before the soldiers are under the city of Linhai City.
Yin Xiao was extremely angry when he heard the battle report, "Peng Niansheng and Chen Tingfeng are both generals of my sect, how could they be defeated so miserably." That Lu Beixiong is not three heads and six arms, they have 30,000 soldiers and horses, at least they should fight out most of the Lubei Xiong, and they still have the strength to march after the forbidden war, which shows how bad this fight is. β
Wei Zhenyi said: "The forbidden army has a thousand thunderbolts, which is indeed beyond our expectations. This Thunderbolt is extremely expensive, and Lu Beixiong uses so many Thunderbolts to fight, it seems that the Rakshasa Emperor really regards us as his main opponent. β
Huang Ba got the news and hurried over. He originally advocated rejecting the enemy from the city gate, but he didn't expect Peng Niansheng to be defeated so badly. Fortunately, the order was given by Yin Xiao, and he had a letter from Xinwenli Jin Wuling, and no one could hold him accountable for his faults.
Luo Yongyan sneered: "The forbidden army is menacing, how can it be easy to fight with? Fighting out of the city is too risky, the forbidden army is the elite of the imperial court, and the assembly is not comparable to us, so why is it strange to use a thunderbolt?"
Yin Xiao's face was gloomy, and Luo Yongyan undoubtedly hurt his face very much. The battle was commanded by him, overthrowing the original defense policy. In such a big defeat, he naturally cannot escape the blame.
Huang Ba was afraid that Yin Xiao would be embarrassed, so he hurriedly said: "Now is not the time to be held accountable, the enemy is at present, if Luo Lingzhi has a clever idea, just put it forward." β
In this battle, the Golden Crow Sect suffered heavy losses, and the defending forces in the city were greatly weakened. The forbidden army also has such sharp weapons as thunderbolts. Defending the city became extremely difficult.
Wei Zhenyi interjected: "Our task is to contain the strength of the forbidden army, and after the sect leader rises up, we can't let Lu Beixiong come back to help." Lu Beixiong won one game and will definitely take advantage of the situation to attack. We must hold on to the city, let Peng Qushuai and Chen Tingfeng respond outside the city, and try to contain the attack of the forbidden army. β
Yin Xiao insisted: "The forbidden army is just a rabble, they only have thunderbolts, we have to find a way to destroy their thunderbolts, Lubei Xiong has lost his reliance, naturally there is nothing to fear." β
Wei Zhenyi muttered: "The key is how to destroy the thunderbolt?"
The thunderbolt is a sharp weapon of the forbidden army, although it is invincible when fighting, it must be carefully guarded when resting, how can it be easily approached?
Yin Xiao said categorically: "We must immediately form a death squad to raid the thunderbolt of the forbidden army, otherwise Haishi City will not be able to defend it for long." β
Wei Zhenyi and Luo Yongyan glanced at each other, they had plans to form a team of supervisors, and after all the manpower was chosen, they used the Mirage Club brought by Ming Qin.
Yin Xiao's death squad is worth a try, as he said, the thunderbolt is too powerful, and the entire Rakshasa country is only 3,000 vehicles, and a third of this battle is enough to raze Haishi City to the ground.
The only way to deal with the Thunderbolts was to use powerful artillery, which was lacking in the Golden Crows. If you can take advantage of the opportunity of the thunderbolt to rest and send a death squad to attack, maybe there is a little chance.
"Sect Master Wei, how about leaving this matter to you?"
Yin Xiao's command error led to a great defeat and loss of the Jinwu Sect, and it fell into an extremely unfavorable situation. Yin Xiao was also afraid that he would not be able to defend Haishi City and would not be able to explain to Xinwenli, Wei Zhenyi had always been in charge of military affairs, and the soldiers and horses in the city knew far better than Yin Xiao, Yin Xiao knew that this matter was related to the success or failure of survival, and he did not dare to take on this matter anymore.
"The protector of the law has an order, and Wei should obey it. β
Wei Zhenyi and Yin Xiao are both Dharma Protectors and have the same status. But Yin Xiao has a new Wenli Jin Wu Lingxin here, and Wei Zhenyi has to avoid him.
After the meeting ended, Wei Zhenyi and Luo Yongyan discussed, "The thunderbolt is a great threat to our sect, even if Yin Xiao doesn't come up with this idea, we must form a death squad to blow up these thunderbolts." It's up to you to decide who you choose. β
"I understand. β
The two are husband and wife, and Luo Yongyan is also Wei Zhenyi's right-hand man. This matter is related to the life and death of Haishi City, and he can only rest assured if it is handed over to Luo Yongyan.
"By the way, I've already gone to see Hui'er, and he doesn't have to worry about his life for the time being. Huang Ba dared to attack Luo Yuan, and he clearly didn't take us seriously. β
Luo Yongyan's background in Luoyuan was not a secret to the important leaders of the Golden Crow Sect. Huang Ba naturally knows very well, he and Wei Zhenyi are fighting openly and secretly, and they are not convinced by each other, so it is not strange to arrest his son for some reason.
"Thank you. Let's get through this first. β
After all, Wei Zhenyi is the acting sect leader, the more critical the situation, the more the Golden Crow Sect needs to unite, and fighting with Huang Ba at this time is undoubtedly self-defeating.
Luo Yongyan also knows this truth, she just can't get used to Huang Ba's villainous face.
"This time the death squad operation, I will personally lead the team, and I will definitely take down the thunderbolt. β
Luo Yongyan is also a general of the Jinwu Sect, and the women are not allowed to have eyebrows, and they are also rare Taoist masters in the sect in terms of cultivation.
Wei Zhenyi was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "This matter is extremely dangerous, don't be reckless." β
Luo Yongyan said with a smile: "If you want a person who dares to die, of course it is dangerous." Do you have a more suitable candidate besides me? This matter can only succeed, not fail, and we will not have a second chance. β
If the blow misses, Lu Beixiong knows that the Golden Crow Sect intends to blow up the Thunderbolt car, so he will definitely defend closely and step up the siege, and they will not have a chance to make a move.
Wei Zhenyi sighed, Yin Xiao handed over this matter to him, there is no room for turnaround, except for Luo Yongyan, who is willing to serve him to death?
"Hymnβ"
Wei Zhenyi's heart was moved, and his face showed a gentle look.
"You don't have to worry about me, just wait for my good news. β
Luo Yongyan smiled and went out.
Luo Yongyan saw Xiaoya and beckoned, "Is the sea storm back?"
Luo Yongyan asked Ming Qin to track down Uncle Liu's whereabouts and find out why he framed the Luo family. Uncle Liu is an important witness of Huang Ba, so he naturally has to be carefully protected. However, Ming Qin has the incarnation of light and shadow, and he is the most handy at spying on the news, and he is unaware.
Xiaoya shook her head, "I didn't see him. β
Luo Yongyan wants to form a death squad, and there is no better candidate than a cultivator. There are a lot of available people in the Mirage Society, in addition to Ming Qin, Luo Qi, Tong Jiaoru, and Wu Sichen are all good candidates.
However, this is a very dangerous thing, and even a cultivator may not be able to get away with it. It is a matter of personal life and death, and there is no reluctance. Otherwise, if you are afraid of death in battle, it will ruin a big thing.
"If he comes back, let me come to see me immediately. β
During this time, Luo Yongyan helped Wei Zhenyi deal with teaching affairs, and he was also quite tired. Although she did not play today, the pressure was not small at all, and it was rare to have a little leisure, so she went back to the wing room to make up for sleep, and it was dark before Ming Qin returned to the Governor's Palace.
Xiaoya guided Ming Qin to see Luo Yongyan, and when she came to the outside of the wing, Ming Qin knocked on the door, and Luo Yongyan's lazy voice came from inside.
"Is it Xiaohai? Come in. β
Ming Qin pushed the door in, only to see that the space in the wing room was not large, and the layout was very simple, Luo Yongyan sat up, her sideburns were scattered, she had always been shrewd and capable, and Ming Qin still saw her dressed like this for the first time.
"What time is it? Sleep a little longer, and make you smile. β
Luo Yongyan pulled her hair and looked for shoes to get out of bed. He walked to the table and poured two cups of hot tea, and beckoned, "Sit down, how are things going?"
Ming Qin still sat down, picked up the tea bowl and took a few sips to dispel the chill on his body, "As expected, Uncle Liu was really controlled by Huang Ba, and his whole family was in Huang Ba's hands, so he didn't dare to do what he said." β
"It's despicable. β
Luo Yongyan was secretly angry, she knew that Huang Ba was deceitful, and she didn't expect him to use this method.
Mingqin continued: "I didn't want to startle the snakes, so I didn't alarm them. Are we going to rescue Uncle Liu and his family?"
Luo Yongyan shook his head and said, "This matter has to be pushed." Now there is something even more important. Have you heard of today's battle?"
"How's the battle going?"
Ming Qin spent all day investigating Uncle Liu's whereabouts, and no one told him about the war outside.
Luo Yongyan sighed and said, "Today, Peng Qushuai and Chen Qushuai led me to teach 30,000 horses to go out of the city to face the battle. Who knew that in less than an hour, more than half of them were killed and wounded. The forbidden army used thunderbolts, and they were invincible, and our army could not resist them. So the Sect Master decided to form a death squad and blow up their thunderbolts while the forbidden army was resting. β
Ming Qin sighed lightly, he knew a little about the deployment of the Golden Crow Sect, Peng Niansheng and a few Qu Shuai led the elite soldiers to fight, but they were defeated so badly. The situation in Haishi City has deteriorated dramatically, and the destruction of the Thunderbolt will only delay the time for Haishi City to be breached.
"I personally command this death squad. Although this battle is extremely dangerous, it is also a great opportunity to make meritorious contributions before the battle. Do you want to sign up?"
Luo Yongyan naturally hoped that Ming Qin would come forward, and his eyes showed an eager look. But it's a matter of life and death, and it's not easy for her to help others.
Luo Yongyan is now Ming Qin's top boss, and Luo Yongyan wants to personally lead the death squad, so how can he retreat.
"Ordered the envoy to come to the battle in person, and do his best in the future. β
"Well, I didn't misread you. β
Luo Yongyan breathed a sigh of relief and looked happy.
"Do you have any cultivators in the hands of the people you brought? We don't have much time, and if we win this battle, I won't treat you badly. β
The forbidden army won the battle, and by the evening, the troops were already under the city, and the number of thunderbolts was large, and it was not impossible to break through Haishi City in one fell swoop.
However, the forbidden army drove day and night, and fought a vicious battle with the soldiers and horses of the Jinwu Sect, and went straight to the city of Haishi, which was actually the end of the crossbow. However, the forbidden army was robbed of the power of victory, and the elite of the Golden Crow Sect was lost, knowing that the forbidden army was already exhausted, but he did not dare to take the opportunity to attack.
Although the two sides did not engage in battle, the atmosphere was unprecedentedly tense. The forbidden army may attack the city at any time, and the Golden Crow Sect is also constantly mobilizing men and horses, and no matter what, the forbidden army cannot be allowed to break through the city.
Ming Qin was instructed by Luo Yongyan to select a death squad overnight, but the siege of the city alternately by thunderbolt cars was not a good time for a surprise attack.
There were as many as 1,000 thunderbolts of the forbidden army, and Lu Beixiong divided the chariots into two teams and took turns to fight, which not only posed a great threat to the city defenders, but also made it difficult to find an opportunity to attack.
Early the next morning, the Forbidden Army began to attack the city, and strangely enough, the Forbidden Army advanced very slowly, although it was still the thunderbolt in the lead, and the foot soldiers were behind, and under the stubborn resistance of the Golden Crow Sect, they retreated back in less than half an hour.
The Golden Crow Sect prepared a lot of artillery at the head of the city, which had a certain deterrent effect on the thunderbolts. However, if Lubei Xiong pressed all the thunderbolts, it was very likely to collapse the city wall in one fell swoop.
Seeing the retreat of the forbidden army, excited cheers rang out from the city tower. Wei Zhenyi was not carried away by the victory, "Lu Beixiong is just a tentative attack, I don't know what the idea is?"
