Seven hundred and thirtieth eight chapters repeatedly deflated
"Master Yun, the rebels are attacking the city."
On this day, Ling Yun was still reading in the camp. He never thought that as soon as Guo Yixiu came in, he would tell him the news about the rebels' attack on the city. When he heard the news, Wei Wei felt a little incredible.
Although the city wall of Anyi City is not as high or as thick as the city wall of Beijing, compared with other city walls in southern Guizhou, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Otherwise, it would be impossible to withstand the rebellion again and again.
The pressure of an army siege.
Ling Yun could think of this, and so could the rebels.
This was also what surprised him.
After pondering for a moment, he suddenly stood up and said domineeringly, "Since he attacks, let him attack. I want to see how capable they are and dare to attack my city."
"Give me the order. Unless it is absolutely necessary, don't use the crossbow arrows at long range. Use them at close range. Don't use fireballs until they are less than 200 meters away from the city gate. Then use them so that they can attack close but not be able to enter the city.
Gate, giving them the illusion that there are not enough soldiers to defend the city."
"Yes, Master Yun!"
The Dali rebels were attacking the city. Guo Yixiu turned around and left, conveying his arrangements one by one. When the leaders of each regiment heard the news, they were confused for a moment and thought for a long time. They didn't understand why Ling Yun didn't
Take this opportunity to deal a severe blow to the rebels who are attacking the city, but to show weakness to the rebels.

However, Ling Yun never explained to them when fighting, as long as they obeyed the instructions. Although the leaders of each regiment had doubts, they would not disobey the orders, so they all followed Ling Yun's arrangements.
The Dali rebels attacked the city, and those at the forefront were the dead soldiers. The moment these people appeared, they represented death.
Surprisingly, they rushed all the way without encountering too many obstacles. However, as they gradually approached the city gate, rain fell from the sky, and arrows instantly hit their hearts.
"Almost, just a little bit..."
Li Boyan clenched his fists and was furious. Seeing that their army could almost touch the city gate, as long as they could hide under the city gate, the enemy troops above could not do anything to them, which showed that their attack was
If the city is successful, then the soldiers at the city gate will join the siege chariots and they will surely be able to invade Anyi City in one fell swoop.
Unexpectedly, as soon as their dead soldiers arrived at the gate of the city, nearly three to four hundred meters away, they all fell down. This was the result three times in a row. Li Boyan couldn't help but wonder whether the enemy had deliberately killed their troops.
Get closer and then shoot him mercilessly?
Li Boyan turned to look at the guards and ordered, "Give me the order to shoot fireballs on the city to suppress the enemy's defense so that our army can approach the city gate."
Li Weiran hesitated and said, "General, the archers are too far away from the city. Our archers can't shoot on the city and can't injure the enemy defenders."
"Are you a pig? You won't let the shield bearer lead the archers to press forward, and then launch a fire attack on the city gate?"
"Yes, General!"

Li Weiran shivered and did not dare to speak anymore.
In the City Lord's Mansion, when Wu Feichen heard that the rebels were attacking the city, he was shocked and hurriedly came out of the City Lord's Mansion.
When I arrived at the city gate, I happened to meet Guo Yixiu.
"Mr. Guo Qian, I wonder how the battle is going?"
Guo Yixiu, because of his meritorious service in capturing Tujia Fort, was granted the title of Sixth Rank Ying Qianzong by the imperial court, so it was not inappropriate for Wu Feichen to call him Guo Qianzong.
"General Wu!" Guo Yixiu greeted him calmly when he saw the anxious look on his face, and then said calmly, "General Wu, please be patient. Our army is fighting against the rebels' siege."
Wu Feichen said worriedly, "Mr. Guo Qian, there is pressure to defend the city. Do you need our army's assistance?"
Guo Yixiu decisively refused, "General Wu, please rest assured that our Nanyi Army will defend the city and there will be no accidents."
"this…"
Even so, Wu Feichen was still a little worried. Guo Yixiu, perhaps sensing his worries, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then suggested, "If General Wu is worried, you can go to the city to watch the battle."

"So good!"
Wu Feichen agreed wholeheartedly. Maybe he had already had this idea in his heart, but he was just too embarrassed to say it. Otherwise, he would not have agreed immediately as soon as Guo Yixiu opened his mouth.
Wu Feichen stood on the city, looking at the rebels attacking the city, his eyes filled with rage. He took a bow and arrow from the side, drew the bow and nocked an arrow, and shot ten arrows in one go, killing three people directly.
Halfway through his anger, he turned around and found Guo Yixiu looking at him, feeling a little embarrassed.
After a pause, he smiled and said, "I made Mr. Guo Qian laugh!"
Guo Yixiu did not laugh, but said with a serious face, "General Wu was joking, General Wu acted like a man of his temper."
Wu Feichen sighed softly, "Hey! These Dali rebels are really hateful. They attacked our two counties in southern Guizhou and killed our people in southern Guizhou... If it weren't for traitors, why would our southern Guizhou be like this? It's a pity that the sky is empty.
Look, no one is willing to clear the name of the people of southern Guizhou."
Hearing this, Guo Yixiu's eyes flashed twice, and he heard the implication, but he could not control it. He could only console him, "General Wu, our Nanyi Army is here just to annihilate the Dali rebels. Maybe it won't happen three times."
In just a few months, the rebels can be driven back..."
As Guo Yixiu spoke, he glanced at Ling Yun and found Ling Yun walking towards them. He immediately stopped what he was about to say and saluted him at the same time, "General, why are you here?"
Wu Feichen also saluted quickly and said, "Wu Feichen, I have met General Pingnan!"
Ling Yun waved his hand, "General Wu, no need to be polite!"
Then he looked at Guo Yixiu and said, "I'm here to see how the rebels' offensive is going."
Guo Yixiu immediately replied, "General, don't worry, the enemy's offensive is all under our control."
After hearing this, Ling Yun nodded with satisfaction, slowly stepped forward, looked at the enemy who still refused to give up, and asked about the casualties of the Nanyi Army, "How are the casualties of our army?"
"Back to the general, nearly twenty people were killed and more than eighty injured."
Ling Yun frowned, "Why are there so many casualties?"
When Wu Feichen heard this, he was shocked and dumbfounded. He froze on the spot and couldn't believe what Guo Yixiu said. The Nanyi Army had only suffered a few hundred casualties from the beginning of the war to the present. This was difficult for him to accept, and the most difficult for him to accept.
What's more, facing nearly a hundred casualties, Ling Yun actually thought there were too many?
He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
After hearing this, Guo Yixiu not only did not feel alarmed, but instead smiled and said, "General, the number of casualties among our Nanyi Army soldiers is negligible. As for those more than a hundred people, most of them are soldiers from the Black Tiger Army and the Sirius Army."
"Yes!" Ling Yun nodded, expressing understanding.
When Ling Yun heard this result, his face was calm, as if this answer was the normal result, and the same was true for Guo Yixiu. Wu Feichen, standing aside, looked so out of place. His mouth was wide open, and it felt like he could stuff a goose egg into it.
.
Just when Wu Feichen wanted to ask why the Nanyi Army had so few casualties in defending the city, the battlefield changed. Hu Hongyun, the leader of the regiment, ran over and said, "General, the enemy is gradually pressing into our city gate with the help of shield hands. Do you want to activate it?"
Crossbow arrows?”
Hu Hongyun asked this question because the powerful crossbows used by the Nanyi Army could penetrate the enemy's shields and cause immeasurable casualties to the enemy. However, before this, Ling Yun had ordered that crossbows should not be used lightly, so the Nanyi Army wanted to
To use the crossbow, you must obtain Ling Yun's permission.
"There is no need to use a powerful crossbow." Ling Yun shook his head and did not agree to Hu Hongyun's proposal. Instead, he said evilly, "General, do you remember that the rebels used fire attacks on General Wu?"
Wu Feichen heard this and said thoughtfully, "What does General Pingnan mean?"
Guo Yixiu said from the side, "Treat others in their own way, this is just right!"
Hu Hongyun did not move, but waited for Ling Yun's instructions.
Ling Yun glared at him and said angrily, "What are you still doing? Attack with fire!"
"Yes, General." Hu Hongyun reacted immediately, responded repeatedly, and then turned and left.
"Aim at the enemy shield bearer and let me go!" As Hu Hongyun's voice fell, countless fireballs flew up from the city gate and flew towards the position of the Dali rebel shield bearer. In an instant, wailing sounds from under the city gate resounded through the sky.
Wu Feichen listened to these heart-wrenching yet familiar voices and exclaimed with joy, secretly thinking: Ling Yun's move is simply to his liking. What could be more enjoyable than this moment?

"What's going on? What's going on in front? Why did our archers and shield bearers retreat?"
Behind the rebels, Li Boyan was furious, pointed at Li Weiran's nose, and kept yelling and questioning.
Li Weiran wiped his hands with cold sweat and hesitated, "General, the enemy does not follow martial ethics and uses fire attacks. Our shield hand cannot hold it at all, so we have to retreat."
"What did you say? Fire attack, how could the enemy think of using fire attack? Could it be..."
Li Boyan suddenly stopped in the middle of his words because he remembered that a few days ago, they attacked the defenders of Anyi City with fire. Unexpectedly, things had turned around. Today, the defenders of Anyi City used the same method on them. This made him
I didn't know what to say for a while.
"Why…"
He looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh, feeling helpless and saying, "Order, let the soldiers come back!"
After Li Boyan finished speaking, he lowered his head and remained silent for a long time. Li Weiran turned around and passed on the order. Looking back again, he saw that he was still the same, so he couldn't help but call out softly, "General, are you okay?"
"Huh?" Li Boyan raised his head and looked at him doubtfully.
"General, are you okay?"

Li Boyan did not answer, but just shook his head. He just lowered his head and thought. In fact, it was not for anything else. He was thinking about how to face Li Xiuran's questioning after retreating. This attack on the city not only had no effect at all, but also failed.
More than a thousand people were lost. If we can't come up with a reasonable explanation, I'm afraid there won't be anything good to gain after we go back.
Thinking like this, I turned back and looked at Anyi City in the distance. I was stunned for a long time. My mood was extremely complicated. I had a feeling in my heart that the defender of Anyi City seemed to be a different person. This feeling was particularly strong, and it was different from the previous one.
It was like encountering an ambush by the enemy that day. I always felt that this phenomenon was not like the defenders of Anyi City.
This feeling of being defeated repeatedly made him have a very bad feeling. After thinking for a long time, he turned his eyes to Anyi City and said, "Weiran, after our army retreats, you immediately send out your troops to sneak into Anyi City. I will do it as quickly as possible."
At the fastest speed, we can understand all the situations in Anyi City, especially whether the guard of Anyi City has changed..."
"Yes, General, I will go down immediately to make arrangements."
