Chapter 471: The Battle of Tianjing (6)
At this time, the drums of war sounded again, and the overwhelming sound of tearing and killing came all over the mountains, and the Zhou army launched a second siege of Tianjing Pass. However, this time Chai Rong did not come to the scene in person, but only sent Shi Shouxin and some other generals to lead the troops.
What came to my ears was the shouts of the Zhou army, which resounded through the world and shook between the mountains, but the Great Zhou military camp was unusually quiet. I don't know how many Great Zhou soldiers will be killed or injured in this siege battle, but all this has nothing to do with Ling Tianyun and Ye Yinfeng.
Their figures stood under a small tree full of buds, surrounded by white flowers. But there was silence in Chai Rong's tent, I don't know if the new emperor of the Great Zhou couldn't face the bloodstains of the Great Zhou soldiers, or felt sad about the helplessness of this siege.
"How can the junior brother have Brother Ling's natural resources, in just a few months, he is about to break through the limit of the first realm. The younger brother is very dull, and he has just touched the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm. Ye Yinfeng's eyes showed a hint of self-deprecation, and he smiled shallowly at the other party. He didn't tell the other party that his martial arts realm was actually different from others. At this time, the tiny star-shaped ball that was spinning in his dantian had also undergone some qualitative changes, and he couldn't tell what the specific changes were.
"You are still stupid, and with your talents, you cannot fall behind me. It's just that your exercises are different, you practice Taoist exercises, while I practice Buddhist exercises, in fact, they are essentially the same, and they are the same. Also, do you and I want to see each other like this, one on the left and one on the right, Brother Ling, they all call me strange. ”
"Then what do you say you want to call it, it's impossible to call it from Tianyun to Tianyun, it sounds like goosebumps. Besides, do I know you well? Ye Yinfeng rolled his eyes and quipped to the other party. He didn't know how to feel about the boy in front of him, who was more than a year older than him, but he still felt more cordial. He didn't know what the connection between him and Ling Tianyun was, but he felt that it was a sense of intimacy deep in his heart.
"It's not familiar to say, but we are good comrades-in-arms who are invincible and invincible in the world's best master. Recognize the world, who has this qualification, and let that Wanyan Invincible suffer a small loss, don't talk about the record between you and me, what kind of big battle Yelu Wuji, that is the world's first-class master. If that friendship is nothing, then I can't say anything about it. ”
The same feeling also existed in Ling Tianyun's heart, at first he thought that it was the aura of the other party's unique internal strength cultivation that made him feel kind, but the two of them were in contact for more and more time, and he found that this had no essential relationship with the exercises of the two. He felt that there must be some kind of connection between the two of them. In addition to the impossibility of blood relationship, they should have other connections, but he and he didn't find out.
"One yard is one yard, the two of us joined forces to fight invincible, and we can't be regarded as having a deep friendship. Besides, with the cultivation of the two of us, the invincible face can press the two of us to death with one finger. Last time, it was just our luck, if it wasn't for the imperial capital, I believe the two of us wouldn't even be qualified to challenge. ”
"It is also said that in this era of strife and turmoil, it is important to improve one's strength. With ordinary people like us, if we want to establish a career in this troubled era, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky. In addition to studying and cultivating martial arts diligently, to reach the limit of martial arts, so that you can be free and comfortable between this heaven and earth. Ling Tianyun's eyes revealed a touch of bitter helplessness, the emperor's plan to dominate the industry, the ambition of the world, these are all fleeting clouds for him.
"You are still a common man, the Emperor of the Great Zhou is your brother-in-law, and the most popular general in the Great Zhou is also your brother-in-law, so you don't come here to fight people." Ye Yinfeng couldn't help but sarcastically said to the other party again. I don't know why, his state of mind at this time was unusually calm, and the spirit platform was ethereal, maybe it felt good to have a conversation with Ling Tianyun.
Perhaps it was the resonance of the two people's hearts, Ye Yinfeng was also eager to improve his strength as soon as possible. Knowing that his family is still alive, he wants to strengthen his strength, Xiao Yujing is not a good person, and he will not tell his family's whereabouts for no reason. There is also the huge killer organization of the Assassination Alliance, and he doesn't know why he is being hunted down by the assassins of the Assassination Alliance. As long as his strength is stronger, then he will no longer be afraid of the pursuit of the Assassin Heaven Alliance.
"The limit of martial arts, shattering the void, all this is not easy to say. Invincible has not reached this state, so how easy can we achieve it. Ling Tianyun sighed secretly and said wistfully.
"Okay, don't be sad here, someone is coming." Ye Yinfeng's eyes froze, and he found that a Great Zhou sergeant was walking towards them. At this time, the siege battle was heating up, and a roaring sound could be heard from under the city wall at any time, followed by a large number of screams of the Zhou army.
"Two young heroes, Your Majesty is invited." The armor-clad Zhou soldier arched his hand at them. The two had no interest in talking for a while, and followed Zhou Bing to Chai Rong's camp.
To their surprise, the siege battle was in full swing, but outside Chai Rong's tent was quiet. In addition to Chai Rong, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there is also Zhao Kuangyin, and there is also an extraordinary scholar who is also in this camp, but it is Mr. Feng Xiaogangfeng, the owner of the courtyard in the imperial capital.
"Third brother, Ye Shaoxia, I called you here this time to agree on the next plan. Mr. Feng has a plan to break through the Tianjing Pass in one fell swoop. Chai Ronghu's eyes shone brightly, and when he saw the two of them entering the tent, he said straight to the point. Later, he told the situation in the city, and it turned out that there was also a spy from the Flying Sparrow Battalion in the Tianjing Pass, and he took advantage of the chaotic situation in the war to spread all the information in the pass.
"At present, the people in the city are panicking, and the people and businessmen are strongly demanding to open the city gate, and the Northern Han general Li Yanneng has the intention of opening the city gate, but as soon as our army arrives, the battle situation is together. Then Li Yanneng wiped out this plan again, this Tianjing Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Great Zhou soldiers have launched two sieges, but there is no effect. Mr. Feng came up with a plan, but he happened to break the patio barrier. ”
"Big brother, it is difficult to attack the city, if you want to break the city by skill, the only way to enter the city is to enter the city, I don't know what way Mr. Feng can think of to let our army blend into the Tianjing Pass. If only we could get into that city, it would be broken. Ling Tianyun had already thought of this, and he asked Chai Rong suspiciously.
"The third brother has asked the point, as long as we use a trick to make that Li Yan open the city gate, then it will be easy to sneak into the city. No matter how strong a city is, as long as it is breached inside, then it is equivalent to falling apart. Chai Rong said with a smile, he swept away his previous gloomy expression, and a smile began to appear on his face.
The second round of siege launched by the Great Zhou army still ended in failure, and this round of siege cost countless casualties among the Great Zhou soldiers, which made the morale of the Great Zhou drop a lot. The howls of the wounded can be heard in the Great Zhou military camp at any time, and a thick bloody atmosphere is permeated everywhere, which makes the entire Great Zhou military camp covered with a layer of low atmosphere.
Shi Shouxin walked into Chai Rong's tent covered in blood, "The last general is incompetent, so I will be disgraced by the soldiers of the Great Zhou, please punish Your Majesty." As soon as he entered the camp, he blamed himself to Chai Rong as if he were guilty, his face was full of dirt, and his red eyes were about to spew sparks.
Chai Rong stepped forward to help Shi Shouxin, and comforted him, which allowed this brave and unparalleled Great Zhou general to go down. On this day, the Great Zhou launched two attacks, both of which ended in failure, and the Great Zhou soldiers suffered numerous casualties. The Northern Han army defending the city suffered few casualties and was not greatly affected.
In the late days, the Great Zhou army sounded the war drum again and launched the third siege, but this time the siege did not send many people, only a few hundreds. As soon as those Great Zhou soldiers came to the city wall, they did not completely set up the siege ladder, so they abandoned the ladder and fled back.
With the third siege there will be a fourth, the same as the third, the fourth siege did not cause too much waves, hundreds of Great Zhou troops rushed out of the Zhou army column, and then small to the city wall, and fled back one after another, before waiting for the arrows shot from the city wall, the Zhou army had already fled completely.
However, it was Zhao Kuangyin, Shi Shouxin and other generals who commanded the siege of the city these two times, and they were all called into their tents by the Great Zhou Emperor Chai Rong. The generals also understood what was happening, and a tearing sound sounded, and soon the sound of tearing and killing that resounded through the mountains and fields was silenced, as if blown by the blowing spring breeze, and soon there was no movement. Although the generals were puzzled, they were not easy to ask, after all, the first two sieges were lost soldiers, so how could they be embarrassed to ask.
In this way, several sieges were launched on this day, but they were all thunder and rain, and later the Northern Han army on the gate of Tianjing City was too lazy to shoot bows and arrows. They watched as hundreds of Great Zhou troops ran under the city walls, but fled in panic. Under the city, hundreds of siege ladders were discarded by the Zhou army.
"It seems that the Zhou army is nothing more than that, and it should be frightened by my Northern Han army. General, this time you will be able to stop the Zhou army outside the Tianjing Pass, and the general will be a great achievement. The deputy general beside Li Yanneng couldn't help but smile, looked at the Zhou army who fled in a panic, and said to him complimentingly.
"Yes, it seems that the Zhou army was frightened, otherwise how could they abandon the cloud ladder and flee after several sieges in a row, and they fled before they reached the city. Shi Shouxin can also be regarded as a famous general of the Great Zhou generation, but he didn't expect it to be so unbearable, and there are no generals in the Great Zhou Kingdom. Li Yanneng said happily with relief. For the situation under the city, he can see it clearly, the first two times the Great Zhou army launched a fierce siege war, but these two times made the Great Zhou suffer enough, these two times made the Great Zhou lose countless soldiers. And today, these few times are just for show, like a tiger in danger, before he dies, he has to let out a few roars, but he can't hurt anyone.
"General, now there are many complaints in the city, and if you continue as usual, I am afraid that it will cause anger among the people. The city has been closed for many days, and the ordinary people in this city cannot survive, and although Yelu Wuji has been restrained in the past few days, all these sins are counted on the heads of our Northern Han army. Isn't it appropriate to open the city gate to calm the people's anger? The deputy general cautiously proposed to Li Yanneng that the Great Zhou army was now menacing, but it was no longer able to launch a more violent attack, and the Zhou army would have to retreat sooner or later.
"After Zhou Jun retreats, we still have to redouble our precautions now. No matter what, you can't take it lightly, the power of the whole country in the Great Zhou Dynasty to go north, you must be fully prepared. We must not get carried away because of a momentary success, and wait for Your Majesty to capture the two big cities of Zezhou and Luzhou, which can be regarded as a great certainty. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, the general taught me. It's the subordinates who are proud, but if the people are angry, it is difficult to guarantee that these people will be in trouble. Under the subordinates, when the Zhou army retreats, it is still necessary to switch and work. A complicated glint flashed in the adjutant's eyes, and he couldn't help but bend his body low.
"Alright, Ben will have his own plans." Li Yanneng's mood did not change because of the lieutenant's words, everything only had to wait for the Zhou army to retreat, he could open the city gate with confidence.
