Yan Ling stood on the wall of Jingzhou City, staring at Xue Ju's army, which was as dense as ants, with a cold and indifferent heart. After this battle, I don't know how many of these fresh lives will be left!
But pity in his heart does not mean that Yan Ling will be soft-hearted. On the battlefield, everyone is their own master, and life and death are up to their fate!
Yan Ling and Li Shimin patrolled the city wall together, and at the same time encouraged the soldiers defending the city. But in fact, these soldiers had followed Li Shimin and fought so many victorious battles, how could their morale be low?
After Xue Ju's army approached Jingzhou City, Li Shimin immediately ordered his soldiers to blow the horns. With an order, the defensive equipment all over the city wall was activated.
Huge crossbow arrows and heavy stones crossed the sky, heading towards the catapults in Xue Ju's army. At the same time, the rain of arrows that covered the sky also flew out from the city wall and fell into Xue Ju's army like raindrops.
Xue Ju's army turned over on its back,
However, Xue Ju was well prepared for this time. The siege engines pressed directly on the city, the trebuchets threw huge rocks, and the archers also fired arrows to counter attack!
After all, Xue Ju's army was outnumbered, but Li Shimin's side defended the city and naturally had a huge advantage. Xue Ju's first wave of offensives had been repulsed by Li Shimin before it reached the city wall.
Yan Ling watched Li Shimin walking back and forth on the city wall, mobilizing soldiers to counterattack in an orderly manner, and asking the logistics soldiers and civilians to constantly replenish consumables such as kerosene, bows and arrows, so that the defensive rhythm would not be interrupted!
Yan Ling is the only one doing nothing. This is not because Yan Ling is lazy, but because it is not the time for the cavalry battalion to come on stage. It will be when Xue Ju is tired from attacking the city that Yan Ling's cavalry battalion will come out to harvest the battlefield!
Yan Ling's mission is to absorb the evil spirit on the battlefield, condense the essence and blood, and at the same time experience the tragic atmosphere of the battlefield, strengthen the understanding of the iron-blooded artistic conception, and practice while watching the battle!
At this time, the first wave of attacks by Xue Ju's army had been repulsed, but Xue Ju did not stop the offensive. The drums were beating, the horns were blowing, and the next wave of attacks continued, hoping to gain momentum and capture Jingzhou City!
There was no time to clean up the broken siege engines, fragments of trebuchets and corpses on the ground. Xue Ju's army advanced again. The intensity of the war was comparable to Li Yuan's battle to capture Chang'an!
Rain of arrows opened the way, huge stones paved the way, a group of infantrymen advanced with shields, facing the rain of arrows from the sky, paving the road to the gate of Jingzhou with corpses. The scene was tragic and tragic, and the evil spirit rising from the sky was astonishing!
Under Xue Ju's crazy attack regardless of losses, Xue Ju's army finally approached the city wall. The siege soldiers swarmed up along the building carts, ladders and other siege equipment. During this period, some masters flew into the air and landed on the top of the wall to relieve the pressure on the soldiers behind.
Li Shimin quickly sent out the experts recruited by Tiance Mansion, and at the same time asked the soldiers defending the city to use kerosene, boiling water and other things to greet the enemy. They must not let Xue Ju's army attack the top of the wall!
Yan Ling picked up his spear and inspected the city wall in front of him with sharp eyes. Once he found an enemy master appearing, he would rush over with his spear in hand. The sharp and dazzling spear light flashed on the wall, and beautiful blood flowers bloomed!
No one can break through Yan Ling's defense line. Therefore, the soldiers behind Yan Ling seem very relaxed. They only need to shoot arrows at the enemy camp, or throw stones under the city wall, sprinkle boiling water, and watch the enemy soldiers fall off the city wall like dumplings.
Roll off, and even have the leisure to watch Yan Ling's powerful marksmanship, which greatly boosts morale!
But there are too many enemy troops, and the only people in Tiance Mansion who can easily kill the opponent's masters are Yan Ling and Hong Fu Nu. The Jingzhou city wall is so wide that it is impossible for Yan Ling and the others to take care of them all.
, if it goes on for a long time, trouble will definitely arise!
Li Shimin was also an experienced person and naturally understood the situation, so he quickly sent someone to call Yan Ling to discuss the next countermeasures.
"We can't go on like this!" Li Shimin pointed at the army below the city and said to Yan Ling: "Next, I will open the city gate, and you will lead the cavalry battalion to attack forward. When you get outside the city, rush towards the opponent's buildings, carts and other siege equipment.
, scatter the troops on the opposite side. I will arrange for another pair of troops to follow behind you and destroy these devices to reduce the pressure on the city defense!"
Yan Ling nodded and accepted the order, and hurried down to join Li Jing. Together they led the cavalry battalion to the gate of Jingzhou City, waiting for Li Shimin to give the order to charge!
Following Li Shimin's order, the gates of Jingzhou City opened wide. Yan Ling led the cavalry battalion, which had expanded to 5,000 men, and ran wildly. The cavalry battalion wearing black armor poured out of Jingzhou City like a black tide.
, submerged Xue Ju’s army and crushed them all the way out!
Xue Ju's army thought that the opening of the Jingzhou City Gate would be their opportunity, but unexpectedly a group of monsters appeared. Although they were well prepared, they were still unable to withstand Yan Ling's sharp attack and were completely scattered by the cavalry battalion led by Yan Ling.
Strangling!
Yan Ling asked Li Jing and Hong Fu Nu to lead a group of troops each to attack the enemy's siege vehicles separately to complete the tasks assigned by Li Shimin. Yan Ling led his own 300 soldiers to charge back and forth around the city wall, seeing people.
Just kill.
The soldiers following Yan Ling at this time were the first to follow Yan Ling. Among them, Lao Si and others had long been qualified to become mid-level officers, but they gave up this opportunity and just wanted to stay behind Yan Ling and join Yan Ling.
charge.
It is their fanatical admiration for Yan Ling that allows them to mysteriously resonate with Yan Ling's spirit every time they participate in a battle, thus taking a share of the pie when Yan Ling absorbs the evil energy on the battlefield.
Rapid progress!
The amount of evil energy they can absorb is not only related to their physical strength, but also their fanatical worship of Yan Ling. The more fanatical they are, the more evil energy they absorb each time. As long as the physical strength can resist it,
Don't worry about your strength not increasing.
Fanatic worship is easy to say, but very difficult to achieve. People like Li Jing also followed Yan Ling on the battlefield, but although he admired Yan Ling's martial arts and military talents, he never resonated with Yan Ling's spirit.
I have never absorbed the evil spirit of the battlefield from Yan Ling.
Only Lao Si, who was originally at the bottom of the army, had almost zero education and was a real roughneck. However, because of this, he had a clear mind and could have enough fanatical respect for Yan Ling.
And this is a win-win situation. They worship Yan Ling, thereby absorbing the evil spirit, while Yan Ling tempers his spiritual will in the spiritual resonance. Although Yan Ling cannot feel the spiritual resonance in the dark, he can actually
I feel that after every battle, the spiritual will will become stronger!
As the charging time of Yan Ling increased, the eyes of the cavalry behind Yan Ling began to flash red, which was strange and terrifying. Every enemy who looked at the eyes of these cavalry was frightened, thinking that they were encountering gods and demons!
The impact of the cavalry battalion greatly eased the pressure on the defenders on the city. After the soldiers who followed the cavalry battalion led by Li Jing and specifically destroyed the siege vehicles succeeded, there were fewer and fewer enemies on the city wall, and they were already attacking Jing.
The state city cannot cause much damage!
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Xue Ju also discovered this fact and understood that there was no chance for this attack, so he ordered the troops to withdraw their troops. He did not want to continue to work in vain, lest the losses would increase and it would be difficult to organize the next offensive!
After Yan Ling chased Xue Ju's remnants for a while, he followed Li Shimin's beating of war drums and retreated to Jingzhou City to avoid pursuing too deeply and being cut off by Xue Ju!
When the cavalry battalion was assembled at the camp in the city, Yan Ling motioned to Li Jing to come forward and count the battle damage. After everything was done, he ordered to disband and let the cavalry rest and recuperate for the next battle, while he himself returned to the city wall.
, continue to observe the battlefield and absorb the evil spirit! (To be continued)
