Chapter two hundred and sixty-ninth natural incompatibility
Night, Roucheng.
There were traces of boiling oil and burning everywhere on the north wall. The flames soared into the sky and dyed half of the sky red. The thick black smoke almost made it impossible for both attackers and defenders to open their eyes. It became difficult for both attackers and defenders for a while.
Even more difficult was the repeated back-and-forth battle around that gap.
When the attackers risk their lives to attack and the defenders defend without risking their lives, the inside and outside of that short section of the city wall, as well as the adjacent large swath of city walls, become a mill of flesh and blood.
Especially when they do not have the upper hand in terms of military strength and have lost their geographical advantage, when the sound and fire of trebuchets siege the city are also heard from the east, south and west directions in the night, the will of the defenders is every moment.
Every second is being tested.
On that most intense battlefield, when swords were flashing, swords were flying, swords were falling, rocks were falling like heavy rain and wind, some seemingly insignificant changes also occurred in Guang County's support army.
A figure in white clothes kept walking upstream among the army like a ghost. Every time she landed, she would be accompanied by an insignificant blood flower. But after she left, the densely packed heads would fall into brief chaos, and then a swarm of swarms would follow.
Rushing forward with the army.
By the time the experienced but short old general in charge of the Guangjun Central Army discovered something was wrong, a considerable number of the troops had already lost contact with the upper-level officers in the darkness.
"Captain Yang Feng... huh," the short old general's vertical brow lines and wrinkled forehead lines were integrated into one, looking like the bark of a dead tree. He glanced sideways at the messenger and said, "
Let him convey the general's order to the level of 100 generals. What I want is for all the troops to work together in this battle, and if there is any problem with the soldiers, I will chop off the heads of those who have problems!!"
The messenger quickly knelt down to salute, then turned around and left quickly with cold sweat on his head.
Standing on the high platform next to the short old general, Yun Bailou, dressed in white, said slowly, "Since a master has taken advantage of the night to break into our army and behead officers, we cannot let her do this. What can Old General Lin do?"
How to deal with it?”
The short old general walked up to the high platform step by step and looked at the ray of fire in the distance behind the dark night with Yun Bailou. "If the army marches in formation, it will naturally minimize the impact of the master's attack. We can follow up with reinforcements."
The pressure on the broken city wall will be greatly weakened, which will be unfavorable for my attack on the city. If the master still has someone available, please go and stop that person..." He looked towards
In a corner of the high platform, a short old man wearing white clothes but with a charcoal face said, "As long as that man stops causing trouble for my reinforcements, we can invade Roucheng at dawn."
The charcoal-faced old man snorted coldly in response, "Now Shiba and Mr. Yang are not with the young master. If I leave too, how can the young master's safety be guaranteed?!"
"After you leave, I will have the Chinese army form a formation, and then use Lin Su, the general of the Chinese army, as the center of the formation. Then the young master's safety will be guaranteed," the short old general looked at Yun Bailou's side face and the charcoal-faced man.
The old man said.
"Hmph, Old General Lin couldn't bear to put his own son in danger..." The black-faced old man was interrupted by Yun Bailou before he could finish his words.
"Yun Er, go and meet the daring master opposite for me and let me see how tall she is," Yun Bailou said in a calm voice while always looking at the broken city wall in the distance.
The charcoal-faced old man kept his words to himself and glared at the short old general before silently saluting Yun Bailou and disappearing.
When he left completely, the short old general was still looking at Yun Bailou's profile, "Young Master...how dare you put your life and property in the hands of an old guy like me who once disobeyed the prefect? You
Don’t worry, I’ll take the opportunity to...take your life!!”
Yun Bailou smiled and looked back at the short old general, "Old General Lin, you once disobeyed my father not because you had second thoughts about Guang County, but precisely because of your loyalty to your grandfather and the Yun family. These things
Over the years, there have been many voices inside and outside the court to liquidate the Lin family, but I have always suppressed and ignored them, just for today."
He turned his attention to the distant battlefield again, "Old General Lin should have already figured it out at his current age, otherwise he would not take the initiative to take charge of the army for me, especially the Lin family has been facing the dilemma of choosing a successor under pressure in recent years.
You should be able to understand that the greatest luck for a family in troubled times is to transfer power smoothly and smoothly to the most capable descendants. My father has proven that he is the strongest among the brothers, so let him be the prefect of Guang County.
It is the best choice for the Yun family."
"Guang County is very good today, better than at any time in the past nine hundred years. Everyone who follows the trend and has the ability should be lucky to be born at the right time. Mr. Lin, your choice today will not only affect you but also the future."
It is the best choice for the descendants of the Lin family. Why should I not trust you?" Yun Bailou turned to smile at the short old man, then reached out and took the bamboo tube from a man in black who quickly ran up to the high platform.
, after opening it and reading it, he couldn't help but sigh softly, and handed the note to the short old general, "Time is with me..."
After seeing this, the short old general's old bark-like brows furrowed even deeper, "How much time can the Eastern Front give us?"
"Jiangdong County's sudden entry into the situation this time was somewhat unexpected. It cut off many of Yin Ling's tentacles in one move. By the time we got this news, the Jiangzhou naval coalition should have almost arrived in Jiangbei County," Yun said.
Bailou looked at the battlefield in Roucheng, his usual smile gone, "Yu Wei from Jiangdong County is a very troublesome character. We must rush back to the Eastern Front as soon as possible."
"Three days, no, if the Sichuan Army can arrive tomorrow, I will guarantee with my head that we will completely capture Roucheng within two days, and let Chen Jingzhi defeat Chunyang!" The short old general said fiercely, "By then, young master
As long as the old man leaves 10,000 troops, I can build a solid defense line based on Roucheng before autumn comes!"
Yun Bailou saw a flickering figure in white outside the Chinese army's formation not far away from him, but he was counting the time in his heart quickly, "Three days is too long, only two days, I will let the Yin spirit pass on."
I believe in my uncle, the Sichuan army will be able to arrive at nightfall tonight. When Roucheng is taken, I will leave 15,000 elite troops for General Lin. Even if Hannan is temporarily freed, I will protect Rouzhou.
The city and plains are not lost...!"
"Hannan is close to the Han River. If the Jiangzhou navy..." The short old general pondered for a while and then said, "My lord, please stay here to watch the scenery. The old man will go and make some arrangements first."
After saying this, he turned around and walked off the platform without waiting for Yun Bailou's response.
At the same time that the short old general walked off the high platform, two white clothes separated from the military formation in the distance!
The charcoal-faced old man flew back ten feet and looked ugly!
On the other side, the beautiful woman who retreated like a fairy looked at the high platform where Yun Bailou was and said with a smile, "Yun Bailou, are you ready to die?"
Yun Bailou, whose appearance on the high platform was as good as any woman in the world, also smiled and said, "You can come and try."
The beautiful woman raised her right hand and held a short golden flying sword in her hand. With just one exertion, she squeezed away the energy wrapped around the flying sword, "Try... just try!!"
