Under the city, Lin Jue laughed loudly and said: "General Yuan seems to be an ambitious man. It turns out that Lu Zhongtian's men are all the same."
Yuan Ping was so angry that he was about to curse, but Wang Juan spoke first: "Mr. Lin, are you just here to quarrel with us? We respect you as a human being. When two armies are fighting, each has his own master. You have your own reasons.
, we have our own reasons, so what is there to say? It is disrespectful to curse and scold. If Mr. Lin is just here to insult, then we have nothing to say."
Lin Jue nodded and said: "This is like a sentence. I am not here to insult you. I am here to let you understand that you are making meaningless resistance. You have lost and you must face reality. Instead of
There is no better way to resist than to know the current affairs. Otherwise, if you destroy the Suzaku Sect, more people will die and more evil will be done. What good will it do? There is nothing wrong with the two generals, each serving his own master, but they do not know the current affairs.
It is your fault to support many people and destroy more lives and beautiful things."
Wang Jun said in a deep voice: "You mean, you want us to surrender to you? I admit that the Suzaku Gate cannot be defended, but you can't even think of us surrendering to you. We are also people with blood, and we are by no means a servile and servile person.
.We will not do such a thing as betraying Prime Minister Lu, so you should save your time."
Lin Jue nodded and said: "Okay, based on these few words of yours, I respect you as men. Although you are stupid, at least you still know how to fulfill your duties. Well, let me give you a chance. I have a suggestion.
Let you be loyal to Lu Zhongtian and solve the current problem without causing more casualties or destroying the great Suzaku City Gate. Moreover, you still have a chance to make us withdraw our troops. What do you think?"
Wang Juan and Yuan Ping looked at each other in surprise. Yuan Ping said solemnly: "What does this guy want to do? There must be a trick."
Wang Jun whispered: "It's okay to listen to what he has to say. We are at an absolute disadvantage now. We can't stop them if they attack the city, so why not listen to what he has to say."
Yuan Ping nodded and said, "That's fine. It depends on what medicine he sells in his gourd."
"But I don't know what the proposal is. Please tell me, Mr. Lin." Wang Jun said loudly.
Lin Jue raised his big finger and said: "I have more respect for you two. You are willing to listen to my suggestions, which shows that you don't want more people to die and destroy the Suzaku Sect. Listen up,
My suggestion is that we have a literary duel. Since the two of you are people who came from Lu Zhongtian, as far as I know, you should both be highly skilled in martial arts. Then we will send out two generals to have a duel with you two.
.If we lose, the Luoyan Army will withdraw from the capital immediately. If you lose, you will immediately give up your stubborn resistance. What is your suggestion?"
As soon as these words came out, all the enemy and our soldiers above and below the city were stunned. When the two armies were fighting, Marshal Lin actually made such a suggestion, which was really unbelievable. This kind of suggestion was like child's play, especially when one's own side had an absolute advantage.
Well, it's actually unnecessary. Lord Lin just wants to protect a city gate. It's really hard to understand his thoughts.
Wang Juan and Yuan Ping were also surprised. They had never heard of such a proposal in their lives. The conditions were so favorable that it was unbelievable, and they always felt like there was some conspiracy hidden in it. You must know that Wang Juan and Yuan Ping were once the guards of the palace.
The best among them, both of them have very strong martial arts. Otherwise, Lu Zhongtian would not have sent them to the Forbidden Army, and incompetent people would not be able to be quickly promoted and occupy important positions in the Forbidden Army. It is obvious that the other party made such a request.
is beneficial to them.
"Is this guy out of his mind? Is there such a good thing? They don't have to do this at all. He retreats after we win? How is that possible?" Yuan Ping frowned and whispered.
Wang Jun said softly: "Don't take it lightly, there may be a conspiracy inside. Maybe he has people with strong martial arts skills who occupy an invincible position, so he proposed this.
"
Yuan Ping said: "Then what should we do? Don't agree? Once their firearms are fired, we won't be able to defend it."
Wang Jun thought for a while and said: "This is our opportunity. If you and I can win this battle, we will have made a great contribution. We might as well take advantage of it."
Yuan Ping said: "How can a general follow his plan?"
"Look at me." Wang Jun's wisdom reached the peak of his life today, and he had an idea in an instant. He finally discovered that in addition to leading the army in battle, his strategy was not inferior to anyone else's. He even admired it.
By myself.
"Master Lin, since you have made a clear path, of course we will accompany you, otherwise the world will think that General Yuan and I have no courage. However, for the sake of fairness, I also have a suggestion." Wang Juan said loudly to the city.
Lin Jue smiled and said, "Please tell me."
Wang Jundao: "Master Yuan and I are fighting against the two of you. It's fair. But we are the leading generals, so you have to fight as the general. Master Lin is the commander of the Luoyan Army, so among the two of you, Master Lin
It's only fair that we have to fight. The other one doesn't matter. Mr. Lin, what do you think of my proposal?"
All the generals in the city were scolding each other. Wang Jun's proposal was really vicious. He knew that Marshal Lin had average martial arts skills, so he asked Marshal Lin to fight by name. It was really hateful to say that it was only fair for commanders and generals to be equal.
"Damn it, Brother Lin, what are you talking about with him? Just give him something shameless and blow up the city gate." Ma Bin couldn't help shouting in front of the formation. All the generals also cursed, Liang Qidang
Even if you have to prepare for artillery bombardment.
Lin Jue waved his hand to stop the crowd's shouting and said loudly: "General Wang, your proposal is very fair, let's do it like this. I will go to battle, and we will proceed as agreed. Whoever loses will abide by the agreement. There is nothing to say about this, right?
.”
Wang Jun laughed loudly and thought: This method of provoking generals will definitely work. Lin Jue is the commander-in-chief of the Luoyan Army. If he retreats, he will become the laughing stock of the world. People say that Lin Jue is very resourceful, but now it seems that he is nothing more than that.
"Okay, as expected of Mr. Lin, I admire you. But I still have questions. What if Mr. Lin doesn't keep his word and refuses to retreat after defeat?" Wang Juan wanted to confirm this deal, so he continued to dig holes.
.
Lin Jue laughed and said: "It's a joke. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the city witnessing it. I am the commander of the Luoyan Army. How can it be child's play? I am worried that you are cheating, but you come to doubt me."
Wang Jun nodded and said: "That's right. If Mr. Lin doesn't keep his promise, I'm afraid he will make the world laugh at him. As for us, Mr. Lin doesn't have to worry. If the two of us lose, we have no intention of living. If you don't believe it, I can
Order in public."
Wang Jun turned to the soldiers and horses on the city and shouted loudly: "Commanders and soldiers, listen, if Commander Yuan and I are defeated and die, you must retreat immediately and do not engage in battle."
The generals at the top of the city agreed one after another. Wang Jun turned around and said loudly to Lin Jue: "How? This can be done."
Lin Jue nodded and said with a smile: "Very good, that's it. You two, please come down. Without further ado, let's get started."
Wang Jun nodded, turned to Yuan Ping and whispered: "The two of us will keep an eye on Lin Jue and kill him later. Killing him will be beneficial to the overall situation. Even if we die, it will be a gain in exchange for Lin Jue's life."
Yuan Ping nodded slightly and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay. However, you seem to have forgotten that they have that kind of close-range bombardment firearm. That thing is very powerful."
Wang Jun was stunned for a moment, his scalp went numb, and he said in astonishment: "Damn it, I forgot about it."
Yuan Ping rolled his eyes, suddenly turned his head and shouted to the city: "Mr. Lin, you have firearms for close combat, but you are not allowed to use them. If you must, use real swords and spears, and fight with fists and feet.
We are not afraid of the effort, but we want to be fair."
Lin Jueben had already galvanized his horse and turned back,
Hearing the sound, he turned around and said: "You two are very sophisticated, so I will listen to you. We don't need firearms, just fight with fists, feet and weapons. If you two have any other requests, please put them forward together. Do you want us to get a wooden stick? You can get it."
Where's the sharp blade? That might be fairer."
Wang Juan and Yuan Ping's faces turned red, and they shouted at the same time: "That's not necessary. Stop talking about anything. The two of us will come out right now."
Both sides made preparations, and Lin Jue returned to the formation. A group of people gathered around him, staring at Lin Jue without saying a word.
Lin Jue smiled and said: "What's going on? Who will go to fight with me? I am a burden. Which of you is sure to fight one against two?"
"
"Brother Lin, let's not talk about who is going to duel with you. What do you think? How can you agree to duel with them? It is completely unnecessary. Moreover, the coach is in danger, which is a taboo. If you use firearms to retaliate, that's all.
, you also promised not to use firearms, how can you fight this? This is not... this is not..." Ma Bin scolded him.
"Are you going to die?" Lin Jue said with a smile.
Ma Bin raised his eyes and said, "This is what you said."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Everyone, don't you think this method of warfare saves trouble and effort? Once the cannon is fired, there are ten thousand taels of gold. We only have so few shells left now, so we have to use them sparingly. The launch of Shenwei General's cannon
The lifespan is less than a hundred rounds. Every time a shell is fired, it is one step closer to being scrapped. We have to deal with the Jurchens later. Good steel must be used on the blade. Besides, it is a pity to blow up this city gate. Let's fight for it.
Wouldn’t it be better to spend less money, kill fewer people, and cause less damage?”
Everyone rolled their eyes. Marshal Lin really thought too much. The current matter had not been resolved yet, so he was thinking about the things to come. It was just a city gate, so what's the pity if it collapsed? What's the point of being afraid of dying in a battle? These thoughts are really infuriating.
Hard to understand.
Guo Kun said solemnly: "Lin Jue, I don't know why you want to do this, but since you want to do this, I can't stop you. But I can tell you, even if you lose, I will not allow you to retreat.
.How can such a big thing be trivial?"
"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. If we lose and Marshal Lin has said what he said, how can he not keep his promise? Wouldn't everyone in the world laugh at Marshal Lin for going back on his word? Marshal Lin risked his life and risked his life.
Your Majesty, you said it was child's play? Who would risk his life to show me what is child's play?" Ma Bin, who had complained about Lin Jue just now, immediately refuted Guo Kun.
Guo Kun frowned and said: "That's not what I meant. What I meant was..."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Don't argue anymore. The matter has come to this, why are you still arguing about this? Even if I am willful, the emperor and the generals will bear with me. I just ask who is willing to fight with me?"
Everyone shouted: "I'm going, I'm going."
"No one should argue with me. It is my duty to protect the commander. Whoever robs me will have to ask whether my fist will answer." Sun Dayong shouted with red eyes, making everyone's ears buzz. Originally,
Gao Muqing and Bai Bing, who had decided that they had to follow their husbands to the duel, both shut up. In terms of martial arts alone, Gao Muqing and Bai Bing may be better than Sun Dayong, but in terms of killing skills, bravery and fearlessness, Sun Dayong is obviously better than them.
It is more suitable to follow Lin Jue into battle.
Lin Jue nodded and said: "Okay, what I am thinking about is Brother Sun. Brother Sun, please be mentally prepared. I am just a drag, and you will have to fight one against two."
Sun Dayong cupped his hands and said: "Commander, don't worry, I will protect you. I guarantee it with my life."
Lin Jue nodded, turned to look at Bai Bing and said: "Bing'er, how about you play a song for us later? Cheer us up. I heard that your master recently forced you to practice the song "Moon Shadow Flower Soul Song", you
He should have achieved quite a lot. How about you play this piece soon?"
Bai Bing was surprised when he heard this, and a smile appeared on his face.
