Chapter 218 Timely Rain
Zhang Yan: "How shameless! Youlanzhou was originally a city of my Donglin, and now it has been taken back by my Donglin."
"What!?" Take it back? Yu Wenjian glanced behind him inadvertently.
Xin Meng has never chased after us. Could it be that the main force of Donglin really went to the direction of Liangzhou?
He didn't want to accept this fact.
It must be the Donglin general in front of him who was deceiving him.
Looking at the formation in front of him, Yuwen Jian thought to himself that it seemed that this battle was unavoidable.
Zhang Yan blocked it, so Yuwen Jian would not be able to move forward easily.
He didn't forget his responsibilities.
A war was about to break out, and the armies were engaged in a melee.
Both sides began to deploy their troops.
The soldiers from the east deployed a neat and orderly Bagua formation.
The Bagua formation is based on the Bagua. Soldiers are arranged according to the Bagua directions to form a complex and varied Bagua formation.
This formation can flexibly respond to enemy attacks while maintaining the overall stability of the formation...
The soldiers of Northern Yan launched an attack.
Charge formation is a linear formation, consisting of several teams arranged in sequence. The team in the front will charge forward with shields and swords, using the impact force to suppress the opponent's formation.
This formation is used to break through the opponent's formation...
A melee is about to break out.
This was the largest war ever fought by Jiang Yue and most of his Xuanwu troops.
In the melee, Jiang Yue led the Xuanwu Army and was on the east side.
The Xuanwu Army is united, and they are unpredictable according to their formations.
The opponent rushed in and out, and the two sides fought fiercely, magnificently...
This battle was a thorough one.
Soon, soldiers from both sides were killed or wounded.
Clean ground, blood dripping...
Once this battle is fought, it will seem like an endless war.
Jiang Yue enjoyed the battle to the fullest, but she had no choice.
Even though Jiang Yue was brave, at this moment, his whole body was already covered in blood.
They couldn't finish the fight in one day and one night.
Still fighting...
...And as early as the day before, Ling Yunxiao received the news.
The reinforcements from Northern Yan have arrived and are now engaging in a melee with Zhang Yan’s men.
His brows knitted slightly.
Today, the siege continues.
After several days of hard attack, Ling Yunxiao looked at the towering, seemingly indestructible city, and then glanced at the looming figure of the enemy general on the tower.
Deep in his eyes, there is a determination to win.
Under the Youlanzhou tower, guard Qin Yu's face was tense, and he said to Ling Yunxiao beside him:
"General, if we fail to break through again, and the enemy comes, I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?" Ling Yunxiao shook his head slowly.
He will fight back when the enemy comes, and he believes that his deputy general will not let him down.
He fixed his eyes on the Youlan City Gate that was shaken by the impact.
He knew that after several days of siege, the enemy could not hold out for much longer.
The plan to capture the city in two months was to speed up because the enemy arrived early.
Under the tower, Ling Yunxiao shot an arrow, and an enemy soldier on the tower died and fell off the tower...
This scene has been played out over and over again. The enemy soldiers who were constantly throwing stones and shooting arrows from the city walls have become numb.
Ling Yunxiao bent his bow and drew his arrow again, intending to aim the arrow at the enemy general on the city wall. However, how could the enemy general be so stupid as to expose himself to his range?
Ling Yunxiao knew the news of the arrival of reinforcements from Northern Yan, so there was no reason why the enemy general Yelu Hong didn't know about it.
Look, the enemy general of Youlan, Yelu Hong, was standing behind the city wall and couldn't help laughing.
General Yuwen Jian will be here soon. Ling Yunxiao, Ling Yunxiao, you are going to die soon.
He also knew that Ling Yunxiao must have received the news.
He was still fantasizing about taking over the Youlan City in the last two days.
However, Ling Yunxiao overestimated himself.
Thinking back to the time when they attacked Youlan City, how much manpower and financial resources they had spent,
How could he allow Ling Yunxiao to capture the city in just a few days?
Unless, Ling Yunxiao has three heads and six arms.
... Ling Yunxiao's brutal attack will take at least several days.
Even if he believed in Zhang Yan,
But when he thought that Zhang Yan might be defeated by Northern Yan, he became extremely anxious.
When he returned to the camp that night, he discussed the battle plan with the military advisor again.
"Although the siege is imminent, I'm afraid Zhang Yan won't be able to stop us. We still need to break the city as soon as possible."
Ling Yunxiao felt more worried.
Yun Yi sighed upon hearing this.
"Youlan Province and Liangzhou City were both important places on my eastern border before. The magnificent buildings were built just to be prepared for any eventuality, but things did not go as planned."
"Does the military advisor have any good ideas?"
"Surround Youlan. Build a siege vehicle that is higher than the city wall. Use the siege vehicle to consume the archers and stone cutters of Beiyan to help our soldiers climb the ladders."
"It is definitely not feasible to build such a high city car in a short period of time." Ling Yunxiao shook his head.
Before this, neither side's armies had ever built city vehicles as tall as city walls, but it was still a good strategy.
"Report--" At this moment, a sentry reported from outside the tent.
"General, military advisor, General Yue is coming with 5,000 soldiers to support us from the southeast."
"General Yue? Support?" Ling Yunxiao was very confused when he heard this.
How can a general who defends a city leave the city so easily? Isn't this criticized?
He did not ask any more questions, but walked out of the tent and headed straight out of the camp.
Outside the camp, he looked towards the southeast and couldn't help shaking his head.
Yun Yi, who was following behind him, also shook his head. At the same time, he was quite prejudiced against Yue Tingshan.
Half an hour later, Yue Tingshan arrived without an appointment.
It was still early in the first month of the Chinese New Year, and the weather was freezing cold. Yue Tingshan was kneeling on one knee on the ground, wearing only a single layer of clothing and carrying a bundle of brambles on his back.
His cheeks were bruised and purple, and his body was skinny.
His face was filled with shame, unable to conceal it.
Seeing Ling Yunxiao leaving the camp, he clasped his hands together.
"General Ling, I know I was wrong. I made it more difficult to capture the city. I am to blame for this. Please punish me!"
As for Ling Yunxiao, his eyes were not only on Ling Yunxiao, but also on the five thousand soldiers and rows of catapults behind him.
Judging from the visual, the number of catapults exceeded a hundred.
He really didn't expect that Yue Tingshan would do this.
He felt relieved that General Yue's timely arrival really solved his urgent problem.
Ling Yunxiao took another look at Yue Tingshan's purple frozen body, and the image of him inadvertently coughing with his hands covering his mouth, and said slowly:
"General Yue, get up."
"I am guilty." Yue Tingshan's face was filled with lingering guilt, but he still knelt.
Then, Yun Yi asked:
"General Yue, did you make all these catapults?"
Like Ling Yunxiao, Yun Yi's tense heart relaxed the moment he saw the catapult brought by Yue Tingshan, but not completely.
Yue Tingshan: "Wang Quan and I worked together to build it for several days and nights."
"Although the catapult is inconspicuous, if a hundred of them are used together, their power should not be underestimated."
This was the fastest way he could think of to attack the city.
He had been making these catapults in his spare time.
This time, I went back to Linzhou City for these catapults.
As you can imagine, there were some unpleasant things happening with Yang Dazhuang.
Moreover, he even prepared the stones, basically all of which he chiseled when he encountered mountains and rivers along the way.
"Very good." Ling Yunxiao smiled more, "General Yue, if the siege goes smoothly this time, I will forgive you! Get up."
I thought General Yue was brave but not wise, but I didn't expect that the catapult today would make him very satisfied.
Of course, they had catapults before, but their numbers were limited.
General Yue was able to build so many catapults in a short period of time.
I think he put his heart into it.
Yue Tingshan then stood up.
The soldiers following closely behind him put a coat on him.
At this moment, Ling Yunxiao ordered his guard Qin Yu to take Yue Tingshan downstairs to rest.
...Below Youlan City,
Ling Yunxiao led the army again, with all the siege soldiers and all the catapults brought by Yue Tingshan, and approached the city again.
