Chapter 221: The Front and Rear Armies

"Hmm. "www.biquge.info Ling Yan responded, and he also heard that something should have happened in Zhongzhai.

Lu Gong was very happy, and whispered to Ling Yan: "It seems that Colonel Zuo is really as you said, General, and has feinted to attack Zhongzhai!" ”

"Hmm." Although according to the current situation, the development of things was expected by Ling Yan, he was still not completely sure, and could only secretly pray in his heart that there would be no accidents.

Ling Yan shifted his gaze to the dotted torches again: the torches moved slowly for a while, then stopped, and then the light of the flame disappeared - the torches were extinguished.

Ling Yan held his breath and waited for the enemy to throw himself into the net.

A few minutes later, a scout came to report: "General Yan, Zhongzhai has been attacked by the enemy!" ”

Ling Yan didn't panic, and asked the scout in a low voice, "How many enemy soldiers and horses are there?" ”

The scout replied, "There are not many of them, and General Kuai has already set up an ambush and is now fighting with the enemy." ”

"Hmm......" Ling Yan nodded, "Probe again!" ”

"Yes!" The scout hurried away.

"Humph! This time, the thief general of Colonel Zuo fell for our army's plan, look how arrogant he is this time! "Lu Gong is full of spirits.

Ling Yan didn't dare to be too optimistic for the time being, he just stared at the black patch in front of the camp.

After a while, the enemy finally moved.

The sound was sudden, and at the very place where the torch was extinguished, there was a loud soundβ€”a sound mixed with the shouts of soldiers, the chaotic footsteps, and the sound of hurried horses' hooves.

Almost at the same time, the torches were lit again, but the difference was that this time the fire was bright, and there were dozens of times more torches than before, illuminating everything in the enemy - the soldiers with torches had a yellow strip of cloth wrapped around their heads.

The Yellow Turbans screamed and rushed to the front camp.

Ling Yan took a closer look, this leading general, he hadn't seen it before, but judging from the fact that there seemed to be a few deputy generals beside the general, this Yellow Turban Army general was not an idle person.

The front camp was already defended by Yang Feng with his troops, and it could at least resist for a while.

Just when the Yellow Turban Army was about to enter the camp like a mad dog, a large number of defenders emerged from the camp, and Yang Feng also came out with a knife.

The two armies immediately began to fight.

Lu Gong looked at Ling Yan anxiously: "General Yan! Let's get out! ”

You Heng was not as anxious as Lu Gong, but he also said: "Looking at the number of yellow turban thieves, I'm afraid it's already Colonel Zuo's heavy army...... With General Yang's guarding forces, I am afraid that he will not be able to hold out for long. ”

Ling Yan's eyes were fixed on the battlefield below the mountain, and he waved his hand back: "Don't move yet, let's observe first." ”

Lu Gong was anxious: "General Yan, I think this is Colonel Zuo's army of robbing the village!" Let's kill it! I'm afraid General Yang won't be able to resist it if it's late! ”

Ling Yan frowned and carefully observed everything under the mountain: "General Lu, don't worry, it's not too late to attack in a while." ”

You Heng also persuaded Gong Lu: "General Lu don't worry, General Wen is on the opposite mountain, if there is a situation, they will also kill." After saying this, he turned to look in the direction from which the Yellow Turban Army was coming, and when he saw that it was pitch black in the distance, he said to himself, "It seems that ...... These should be the soldiers and horses who robbed the village......"

Ling Yan remained silent on the surface, observing the situation on the battlefield, but in his heart, there were several big questions, which forced him not to dare to kill, and also made his mood more and more nervous.

When the two armies did not kill much, they suddenly killed the ambush led by General Wen and others from the opposite mountain. For a while, the shouting and killing sound was several times worse, resounding in the night sky.

Originally, in the melee in front of the camp, Ling Yan could also see that Yang Feng had the upper hand - the number of enemy troops was two or three times more than the defenders in the camp, and those Yellow Turban generals besieged Yang Feng, although Yang Feng's martial arts were not bad, but after all, he couldn't resist the siege, and he saw that he was about to retreat.

Ling Yan saw it in his eyes and was also very anxious, but he definitely didn't dare to act rashly, and according to the previous discussion, it was Wen Ping and the others who killed first, and then Ling Yan led the army to kill.

After Wen Ping was killed from the mountain, he went straight to the enemy's commander.

The Yellow Turban Army was a little flustered when they saw that there were ambush soldiers coming out, and several Yellow Turban generals who surrounded Yang Feng also separated two of them to fight Wenpin and others.

Ling Yan saw Wen Ping and the others killed from the mountain, and his face did not change much, but he was a little relieved in his heart.

Lu Gong couldn't help but be angry, and urged Ling Yan again: "General Yan, let's quickly kill and go down the mountain!" As long as we ambush him from both sides, we can just wipe out the thief army! ”

Ling Yan took a long breath: "General Lu, wait a little longer. ”

Lu Gong probably couldn't think of what he was waiting for, although he didn't insist any longer, his face was even more anxious.

"Brother Xian, do you see anything unusual?" You Heng frowned slightly and asked Ling Yan.

Ling Yan nodded, his eyes still not leaving the battlefield: "Brother You, there is no movement in the back village." I don't feel right. ”

"Hmm......" You Heng groaned, "Maybe the left school abandoned the back village and directly attacked the front village?" ”

Ling Yan shook his head: "No...... Just now, the scouts said that there were enemy troops heading towards the rear village, and there would never be any movement. And ......" Speaking of this, Ling Yanchang exhaled, "I don't believe that Colonel Zuo's plan will be so simple. ”

You Heng nodded slowly. Lu Gong frowned and thought about it, and then nodded as well, looking like he felt that what Ling Yan said was reasonable.

Ling Yan's expression became more and more solemn, and he secretly thought to himself, "Colonel Zuo, you will definitely not use such a crude strategy...... See what other tricks you have. ”

In the camp, due to the sudden attack of Wen Ping and others, Ling Yan's army regained some decline, and judging from the situation of the battle, this side also had the upper hand, and Wen Ping also beheaded a deputy general of the enemy army. However, these forces did not reach the level of encircling and annihilating the enemy army.

You Heng suddenly said, "Oh? General Zhang wasn't among them, didn't he kill it? ”

Ling Yan nodded--he had already told Wen Ping before, whether the ambush soldiers should be killed all at once or in two parts, Wen Ping could decide on the situation temporarily.

Looking at the situation now, just hiring a team of ambush soldiers is enough to resist the Yellow Turban Army.

Although there were ambushes on this side, the Yellow Turban Army had no intention of retreating, but continued to attack frantically by relying on the advantage of numbers. However, after Wen Ping beheaded one of the enemy generals, he also picked off the second enemy general who came to meet him; Over there, Yang Feng didn't have the pressure of being besieged, and immediately launched a tiger threat, and also beheaded a deputy general.

The main general of the enemy army abandoned Yang Feng and went to fight Wenpin; And the last deputy general of the main general continued to fight with Yang Feng.

Ling Yan observed everything, but still had no intention of attacking.

At this time, another scout came: "Report! There are enemy troops robbing the village in the back village! ”

Ling Yan's heart moved: "How many enemy soldiers and horses are there?" ”

The scout replied: "The number of soldiers and horses in the village is equal to the number of soldiers and horses in our army. ”

Ling Yan was relieved: "Okay, you go down and explore again." ”

After the soldiers left, Lu Gong was overjoyed and said, "General Yan, as expected, those two roads are indeed feints to attack soldiers and horses!" ”

You Heng sneered: "Hmph, what else can I do to see Colonel Zuo this time!" ”

Lu Gong was also very excited, and said busily: "General Yan, the last general is willing to lead the army to kill and behead the enemy!" ”

Ling Yan pursed his lips tightly, and after a while, he replied in a deep voice: "Wait!" ”

Lu Gong's expression became anxious again: "General Yan, there is already movement in the back village, it seems that Colonel Zuo's plan is only like this, if you kill it now-"

As soon as Lu Gong said this, suddenly You Heng stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction where the enemy army was coming: "Virtuous brother, look! ”

Needless to say, Ling Yan also saw it - a large number of torches moved quickly towards the camp, and the firelight illuminated the place, full of soldiers wearing yellow scarves, the first to bear the brunt of the camp.

"This ...... Why are there thieves again? Lu Gong opened his mouth wide in surprise.

You Heng also looked like the development of things was a little unexpected for him, and muttered, "Could it be that the left school thief general, we will set up an ambush here?" ”

It wasn't until he saw the second group of enemy troops that Ling Yan stabilized his mind a little, and the corners of his mouth curled unconsciously.

These Yellow Turban reinforcements with torches shouted and slaughtered into the camp, and then the Yellow Turban soldiers threw their torches into the camp tent, and the leader of the generals went straight to Yang Feng, shouting while waving his knife: "I am Tang Zhou, the general of the Yellow Turban!" The thief will take his life! ”

It may be because the Yellow Turban Army thought that Ling Yan had been fooled, so this military general, who called himself Tang Zhou, had a particularly loud and confident voice, almost overshadowing the shouting of the soldiers, and even Ling Yan and others heard it.

"General Yan!" When Lu Gong saw that the enemy was getting stronger again, he was impatient, "Please give the order to kill it!" ”

At this time, Zhang Yi in the opposite mountain also led the army to kill the mountain.

Ling Yan saw that the time had come, so he said to Lu Gong: "Okay! Please General Lu lead a team of soldiers and horses to kill down the mountain! ”

Lu Gong was immediately shocked: "Yes!" Yes, sir! With that, he ordered a squad of infantry, shouted and slaughtered his horse down the mountain.

You Heng asked Ling Yan in a low voice, "Brother Xian, aren't we going to kill it?" ”

Ling Yan always felt that something was still wrong, and he still had doubts in his heart, so he said, "Brother You, let's take a look." ”

You Heng probably didn't expect Ling Yan to be so calm, so the look on his face was slightly surprised. But since Ling Yan had already said so, he naturally didn't want to say anything more.

After Tang Zhou led the army into the camp, he was intercepted by Zhang Yi, who was killed down the mountain, before he could run to Yang Feng.

For a time, the two armies cuffled, and the shouts of killing and wailing were endless.

Ling Yan let out a sigh of relief.

Originally, looking at the number of the Yellow Turban Army, it was indeed almost all the soldiers and horses in Juye City, and if it was encircled and suppressed with all its might, it was estimated that it would be able to report a great victory. But Ling Yan faintly felt that there were still problems in this, and the most important problem was that Colonel Zuo and his "descendant troops" had not yet appeared!

Ling Yan knew Colonel Zuo's character, and he knew that Colonel Zuo would never care about the lives of these ordinary Yellow Turban soldiers, in Colonel Zuo's eyes, the lives of these soldiers were less valuable than grass mustard. However, Ling Yan felt even more that in such an important robbery operation, Colonel Zuo would definitely personally participate in it - at least, he would also come to do the final "finishing touches".

Based on this feeling, Ling Yan didn't kill for a long time. He didn't know if his judgment was accurate, but judging by the current development, everything was still in his plan.

Suddenly, Ling Yan thought of a question, and hurriedly said to You Heng beside him: "Brother You, you stay here to ambush, I will lead an army to go forward for a while and go over there to ambush." ”

You Heng was slightly surprised: "Brother Xian, why is this?" ”

Ling Yan said: "When Colonel Zuo comes, I will rob him of his back road and make it impossible for him to escape!" ”

You Heng was even more surprised: "Colonel Zuo...... Will it come? ”

Ling Yan nodded: "Yes...... He's definitely coming, and he's going to show up soon. I reckon he's not far from the camp right now, waiting to eat our front village. ”

You Heng's face changed slightly.

Ling Yan continued: "Brother You, as long as Colonel Zuo shows up, you will immediately lead the army to kill him, and I will also kill him from behind!" Let's fight each other and see what else he can do! ”

You Heng still didn't seem to be sure if Colonel Zuo would come to rob the village in person, but he didn't argue with Ling Yan, but nodded: "Well, I know." ”

Ling Yan led a group of soldiers and horses, and quietly trotted towards the direction where the enemy army was coming.

The shouting behind him became louder and louder, Ling Yan unconsciously glanced back, although he couldn't see the details clearly, but he could roughly feel that because of Zhang Yi and Lu Gong's killing, the morale here was significantly higher than that of the Yellow Turban Army, and the Yellow Turban Army seemed to be a little flustered.

However, Ling Yan didn't dare to be careless at this time, he knew that the most difficult Colonel Zuo had not yet appeared, and if he was judged to win at this time, it would be too optimistic and too dangerous.

Ling Yan led the ambush soldiers forward for some distance, and then made an ambush gesture to the soldiers.

The bottom of the mountain where Ling Yan was lying was so dark that he could hardly see anything, and the sound of fighting not far away was also very loud, covering up other sounds, so if Colonel Zuo came secretly, it would be difficult for Ling Yan to notice.

But Ling Yan still found Colonel Zuo at once.

Almost a minute after Ling Yan lay in ambush again, he saw a blue light suddenly appear in front of him, and dozens of blue internal air waves appeared on the dark mountain road in an instant, rushing straight towards the two armies fighting outside the camp.

Almost the next moment, the soldiers of Ling Yan and the Yellow Turban Army, who were fighting at the outermost part of the camp, were swept by the internal air wave that was about to form a plane, and they were all knocked into the air, and then they fell to the ground with a wail.

As for the outcome of those soldiers, one can imagine.

However, this face Lingyan didn't see it at all. From the moment the blue internal qi flashed, Ling Yan saw Colonel Zuo under the mountain where he was ambushed under the light of the inner qi - Colonel Zuo was riding a horse, holding a long sharp knife, staring coldly at the battlefield in front of him, motionless; And beside him were his "descendants" -- yellow turban soldiers wearing armor and holding spears, more than 100 people.

The blue light was naturally emitted by those soldiersβ€”the Yellow Turban soldiers standing in the front two rows, one hand stretched flat ahead.

Ling Yan's heart was extremely nervous: Colonel Zuo finally appeared!

However, at the same time, Ling Yan was also extremely excited: this time, his judgment was not wrong! Zuo Colonel is really going to attack the front village!

Ling Yan secretly said in his heart: "Hmph! Left school! You've fallen for my trick this time! I've been toyed with by you many times before, and this time I'm going to get it back! ”

Ling Yan was thinking about it, but Colonel Zuo immediately made a moveβ€”he first waved his hand, and then galloped forward.

The next second when Colonel Zuo waved his hand, blue light appeared one after another on the palms of the two rows of yellow turban soldiers stretched forward. After Colonel Zuo rode out a few steps, the Yellow Turban soldiers once again let out an internal air wave at the same time.

"Humph! The thieves have fallen for me! Qianzhai is still so laborious! What a rubbish! Colonel Zuo danced with a long sharp knife and roared.
