The landing place of the yellow light was somewhere in the center of the city. Under the cover of the gloomy dark clouds and rain, people outside the city could not see clearly what the yellow light was, let alone see it, even if they could see some faint yellow light.
Find out who are among them.
But as the sacred tree Feihe got closer and closer to the ground, more and more Yunqin people in the city realized who was coming... Under the orders and restraints of some generals and school officials, all these people
They all understood that they wanted to prevent the Da Mang army from knowing as much as possible. They kept absolutely quiet and did not make any loud shouts. However, due to excitement, many people's bodies were trembling in silence.
Jiang Xiaoyi was still walking through the city alleys, giving directions.
He knew that there was only one opportunity or one order left before Da Mang's army attacked, and a big fight could start at any time. In order to ensure his mental state and physical strength, he took a dry cloth and wiped his face and the liquid that dripped into his neck.
Rain. Then he also saw the sacred tree flying crane falling from the sky. "Long time no see." Just like when Qin Xiyue realized that Lin Xi was coming, he smiled, but said in his heart with some solemnity and unspeakable emotion.
Got this sentence.
"coming?"
In Wuwei Temple, after receiving the news, Tang Chuqing also held a butter paper umbrella and walked out of the wooden building, welcoming Lin Xi's arrival in the open space of the temple.
Although there are not many traces of time on his face, he is actually the most qualified and powerful being in the entire Yunqin military, just like Gu Yunjing.
It's just that in this decisive battle, there were too many people who could sing and cry. Tang Chuqing felt that even in front of some ordinary sergeants, he had no qualifications to be proud of, and now this person who arrived at Dongjingling in the wind and rain was even more worthy of him
Put down all your stature to respect, even awe.
…
Lin Xi didn't waste any time.
Under the guidance of a Yunqin general, the sacred tree flying crane flew directly into Wuweiguan and landed in front of this old man who had participated in the defense of Falling Star Mausoleum, so his eyes always seemed to have more vicissitudes than ordinary people.
Lin Xi was the first to step off the sacred tree Feihe.
Gao Yanan and Bian Linghan walked down behind him.
Li Wu directly opened an umbrella, bowed to salute Tang Chuqing, then directly placed the umbrella handle on the sacred tree flying crane, and immediately began to rest under the umbrella.
Lin Xi saluted to Tang Chuqing, using the Yun Qin disciple's salute.
Tang Chuqing didn't show any surprise. He first saluted Lin Xi and Gao Yanan behind him, and Bian Linghan. Then he glanced at the box that Bian Linghan was carrying, and solemnly bowed to the big box again.
Because he could feel Dahei's aura in that box.
Only in this way can he represent his deep respect for Dean Zhang.
"What do you want to say or ask?" After saluting solemnly, when he raised his body, he looked at Lin Xi calmly and said.
"I came with the garrison of Jin Tiezhen and the army transporting ordnance. There was no loss of ordnance. There are still more than 4,000 people who can go into battle. They are marching towards Dongjing City in a roundabout way... The next rain will
Wash away some of their traces, and eventually they will arrive near Wuliu Town. At present, they will definitely not be able to break through the Da Mang army and reach the city. I made an appointment with them to use the beacon smoke as their signal. When they see the beacon smoke I send out, they will rush towards the city at full speed.
Attack on Dongjing City." From the previous secret report from Qingluan College, Lin Xi already knew Tang Chuqing's identity, and also knew that he was the best defender of the city in Yunqin, so he did not have any greetings about his identity.
, I just said this first as a question.
"Previously we learned that a heavy cavalry army had gone to intercept our troops setting off from Jintie Town, but everything outside the city has been controlled by Da Mang's army. Now you can let them retain such combat power and get as close as Wuliu Town
This gives me more confidence." Tang Chuqing sincerely appreciated: "Your arrangements are very good. If necessary, investing in this army should have a big effect."
Lin Xi nodded, "I saw from a high altitude that Da Mang's army didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack. You didn't waste your military energy on blocking the gaps in the city walls at all. Do you want to directly engage in street fighting?"
Tang Chuqing looked at Lin Xi and explained in a calm and patient voice: "Since this huge army of 80,000 people is confident of conquering our Dongjingling Tomb, they must have some powerful means that will be displayed during the war. For me, population is
The denser it is, the greater the risk. A battle of this level is destined to be a life-and-death battle, and the vast majority of people here will die, whether it is Yunqin or Damang. I will make the best use of everything and use it to my advantage.
At the cost of the death of some soldiers, the ordnance on the city wall was used up... The significance of the city wall in this battle is limited to this. Dongjing City is very large, and the deeper the battlefield, the more traps can be laid, even if this
The Da Mang army will have some powerful weapons, and on such a large battlefield, we will also have more variables. I will not hide it, I will not repair the city wall. On the one hand, the next battle will not end soon, and it will be extremely difficult.
, I must preserve the physical strength of the soldiers as much as possible. On the other hand, if I let the Da Mang army clearly see my intentions, they will definitely weigh it and make many new plans... At present, such results have been achieved.
It appears that they are not attacking now, which means that they are hesitating, weighing, and arranging... This will take them a lot of time. We are the defender and we have enough time. We can defend for ten days and a half, but they
There are only three days, and the more time they spend in this way...the less time they have in the end, the more impatient they will be, the less choices they will have, and even do things that cost them a lot of money in order to gain time.
.For us, it’s more opportunities.”
After a pause, Tang Chuqing looked at Lin Xi deeply and said: "For the city defenders, and for us Yunqin people, the city is actually not important. All these houses and pavilions here have been destroyed.
As long as our people are there and Yun Qin's spirit is there, we can defend this city, and these things can be rebuilt in the future. The most important thing in defending the city is will. If everyone in the city forgets the city wall from the beginning
, the presence or absence of the city wall will not have any impact on our side, and for the other party... there will be no joy in capturing the city wall. On the contrary, in the subsequent street battles, they will lose more and more confidence and will."
There were some truths that Lin Xi had not thought of, some truths that Lin Xi already understood, and some words that made Lin Xi understand more truths. He thought about it, looking at the blurry city wall in the distance in this terrifyingly quiet big city in the rain,
Asked: "Do you need me to do anything now?"
"In the past, Falling Star Tomb faced the Nanmo Kingdom's 300,000-strong army. My father was the top general of the city's garrison, but in fact the commander-in-chief was Dean Zhang. Now in Dongjing Tomb, I am the top general of the city's military, but in fact
The commander-in-chief, of course, will be you." In this gloomy drizzle weather, Tang Chuqing smiled among the yellow leaves floating in Wuweiguan, took out a scroll from his sleeve, and handed it to Lin Xi: "Dongjing City
I have laid out this chessboard for you, horizontally and vertically, and drawn the lines on the board. All the power in the city is in this information. Next, you have to use the shortest possible time to
After reading this volume of information, then start playing this game of chess and directing this battle. From now on, I am also a chess piece in your hand, waiting for you to fill me in somewhere where I should go at a certain moment.
."
Lin Xi was silent, his face calm and unchanged, but he knew the weight of it. When he took the scroll, his hands were trembling slightly and his eyelashes were beating slightly.
"I know this will be very difficult for you. Even when Dean Zhang... made many decisions, it was very difficult." Tang Chuqing looked into Lin Xi's eyes and smiled: "I just saw from your eyes.
I feel the same unbearability and heaviness as Dean Zhang at the beginning, but I don’t see the panic of not being sure of my own strength, so it’s not just because I know Vice Dean Xia... I believe in my own eyes, you are indeed the same as Dean Zhang
They are the same people, so you should also understand that only you can shoulder this mission."
After a slight pause, the smile on this old man's face, who had experienced the Battle of Falling Star Tomb when he was thirteen years old, slowly faded away. He turned around and stood side by side with Lin Xi, looking at the city wall of Dongjing Tomb in the distance covered with mist and rain, feeling solemn.
Said: "Back then, Dean Zhang and seventeen strong men from the academy fought against the Nanmo Kingdom army... Although you are not as strong as Dean Zhang now, and we don't have as many powerful practitioners as we did back then, we have so many Yunqin soldiers.
, the other party is not as strong as the Nanmo Kingdom army back then. We will make them pay the price they deserve."
Lin Xi's brows frowned slightly, just because he was thinking quickly.
Lin Xi took a deep breath and said nothing more. She walked to the nearest wooden building and unfolded the scroll in her hand, unfolding the city and its people.
…
Strips of rainwater fell along the eaves and sprinkled on the banana leaves.
Several ordinary Taoists in the Wuwei Temple began to play the piano quietly, while others in the temple quietly cooked hot tea and hot soup.
Among Lin Xi's earliest orders, two military generals took the high-level Brass Eagle Eyes and Bian Linghan to the sacred tree Feihe.
Some military heralds, flag bearers and beacon bearers also began to rearrange themselves in the city.
Lin Xi saw Jiang Xiaoyi's name in the scroll in her hand, and saw the names of some other familiar Zhige students. She imagined that they were in this city, and a smile appeared on the corner of Lin Xi's mouth.
Then, he saw many names that had just appeared in Zhongzhou City not long ago.
The power and attitude represented by these names made him awe-inspiring, and made the fire in his chest burn more and more fiercely.
