In front of Yingshang City, Ji Ling was already on the city wall. He relied on the trick of reducing troops and adding more troops to temporarily deceive Bai Tu's main force, and then he had the opportunity to attack Yingshang.
Even if the plan goes well, Bai Tu should have already received the news and is rushing back. No matter how optimistic he is, there will only be one or two days left.
Naturally, Ji Ling did not have time, so he slowly made siege equipment on the spot, and could only use the most primitive ants to attack.
What? Why don't you come with siege equipment?
In order to hide his whereabouts, Ji Ling had already used his extraordinary IQ and aroused good luck. Could he expect to be able to push the well railing several stories high without being discovered?
What's more, with their level of technology, it is impossible to transport things like shafts and ladders! Do you want to push them for hundreds of miles? They will definitely fall apart due to bumps along the way.
In comparison, Baitu's standardized parts production is considered "high-tech".
At first, Ji Ling thought that as long as he evaded Bai Tu's main force, Yingshang, which was not a strong fortress in the first place, could be captured with a night attack when it was not heavily guarded!
Ji Ling's idea was not wrong. In fact, during the first night attack, he did successfully scale the city wall and even almost broke into the city.
After being promoted to Jinyu, Ji Ling was able to forcefully half-fly, half-climb, borrow strength from the city wall, and climb the city wall with his bare hands if the people defending the city were not strong or the troops were well-supplied!
Unexpectedly, there was actually a fierce general hiding in Yingshang. He was also wearing gold and jade armor, and with a silver dragon spear, he fought with Ji Ling for more than a hundred rounds and knocked him off the tower.
How could Ji Ling be so shocked?
He was already a famous general, ruling the roost with his martial arts. Especially after being named the Chariot General of the Zhong family, he entered the ranks of golden and jade generals. Even if he was attacked by strong men such as Lu Bu and Zhang Fei, Ji Ling
At least they are still confident, and there are not many people who can defeat themselves head-on!
If it weren't for the fact that there weren't many troops defending the city, Ji Ling would have even wondered if he had been ambushed.
As Ji Ling was taken away, the momentum of the night attack siege team was dampened. In the end, they only suffered damage to each other in the night. From the perspective of siege, Ji Ling could be said to have made a big profit with these almost 11 casualties, but
Ji Ling knew very well that he had to capture Yingshang within a short period of time, otherwise it would be meaningless no matter how beautiful the casualties were.
Today, Ji Ling launched his army to attack again. At first, everything was as expected, and the silver-armored general was not seen. However, when he climbed up the stairs again, he found that the opponent was waiting for him expressionlessly.
Ji Ling:
You're targeting me, right? If I don't show up, you won't even give instructions, you just keep an eye on me, right?
"Who are you? Are you timid and afraid to use your first name?" Ji Ling said angrily.
When the silver-armored general heard this, his lips trembled instinctively, but he did not make a sound, but directly started fighting. Ji Ling hesitated for a moment, and then raised his battle axe.
Last night's battle had forced Ji Ling to admit that there was a certain gap between himself and this unknown silver armor general!
It seemed that he had fought for more than a hundred rounds before he was shot down with one shot, but in fact Ji Ling could feel that this young man in silver armor, whom he had never heard of, not only had gold and jade armor, but also had extremely superb skills, even better than his own.
Many, if it weren't for their stronger armor, they probably wouldn't be able to last this long.
After all, not everyone has the position of founding cavalry general.
Even the reason why he was tepid and fought with the opponent for more than a hundred rounds before showing his defeat was mainly because the opponent's fighting style was so tepid, or in other words, steady!
It is obvious that the silver spear in the opponent's hand is so thin compared to his own mountain ax in terms of thickness, but he cannot shake it whether it is prodding, chopping, piercing or blocking.
When Ji Ling thought of this, he became more and more indignant, and he swung the mountain ax in his hand more majesticly. However, the silver-armored general was still as steady as an old dog, or even as steady as a mountain, as if he didn't feel Ji Ling's "exploding beans" at all.
.
At this moment, Ji Ling suddenly discovered that there was a Jiangdong Army in the distance. Seeing that it was about to surround them from behind, he immediately understood that Bai Tu's main force had turned back.
In order to avoid being attacked from both sides, Ji Ling had no choice but to lead his troops to retreat.
Bai Tu also vaguely saw the fight between Ji Ling and "his own" mysterious general on the city.
After all, he can burn glass, so Bai Tu will not forget to use the best quality finished products to make a few pairs of telescopes. In fact, almost everyone in the current main generals has one pair.
Seeing that Ji Ling's army was not in chaos when he retreated, but that his own troops had returned all night and were very tired. Bai Tu did not pursue him deeply, but retreated to Yingshang City. At the same time, he immediately went to see the county magistrate who had stayed behind.
Lieutenant, and that silver-armored general!
The acting county magistrate of Yingshang was a member of the Wei clan who went on an expedition with the army, and the county captain was also a temporarily appointed military captain.
As Bai Tu expected, it was not because of his sharp decline in memory. The silver-armored general was indeed not from the Cavalry General's Palace, nor was he Cao Cao's reinforcements. The reason why Wei Lai trusted him and introduced him into the city was because
He came from Shouchun to deliver the letter!
Yingshang is the county seat of Runan. Although it was captured, it has not yet gone through the "procedures" to transfer to Jiujiang County or Lujiang County. It is impossible to send a message directly from Shouchunji, unless it goes through interstate channels and informs Runan first.
Ji, it would be strange for you if Runan Ji forwarded Yuan Shuli again later.
The reason why General Shining Armor is here is also related to the news he brought about a plague breaking out in Shouchun!
I don’t know if it’s luck or misfortune. Just a few days ago, Shouchun developed symptoms of suspected malaria. The main reason is that when the rebels were wreaking havoc in the city, they threw corpses into wells. Some of them were not discovered in time, causing the water source to be contaminated.
Fortunately, the famous doctor Zhang Zhongjing happened to travel here. The status of doctors in the Han Dynasty cannot be said to be high or low. Most of the time, the status of doctors can only be felt after they are seriously ill. But Zhang Zhongjing is definitely an exception!
Zhang Zhongjing, also known as Zhang Ji, "Zhongjing" is a pseudonym. In his prime years, Zhang Zhongjing worked in the officialdom and even served as the governor of a county.
However, Zhang Ji essentially hated bureaucracy and officialdom. During his tenure as the prefect, he even opened the central hall to diagnose and treat the people in the county.
Later, he resigned and traveled around. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, he could be said to be a "star doctor". No matter where he went, as long as he was willing, he would be the guest of local officials.
After discovering the epidemic in Shouchun, Zhang Zhongjing was not polite and directly began to direct the treatment. Ordinary doctors in isolation may lack command and dispatch experience, but Lao Zhang has been a prefect!
The official team that Bai Tu left behind in Shouchun was mostly in the recruitment hall, where new recruits were selected through trials. At this time, they dared to delegate power and fully cooperate with Lao Zhang.
At the same time, it was natural to send a message to Bai Tu, and there were more than thirty riders who followed Zhang Zhongjing to Shouchun, all riding war horses. At first, they frightened the officials left behind in Shouchun and almost caused a misunderstanding.
Later I found out that these people were the "defeated army" of Gongsun Zan of Hebei Province. Because they met Zhang Zhongjing by chance, they escorted him for a journey. Moreover, these people actually came to vote for Baigong!
The reason for riding a war horse is to keep a low profile! Otherwise, everyone would be a general with armor.
There is even a gold and jade general among them. Even if he is in the Chariot and Cavalry General's mansion, he can only count the gold and jade armors on his hands, but the Chariot and Cavalry General himself is still wearing a wooden and stone armor.
There are also four gilded warriors, and the rest are wood and stone warriors.
After learning that these people had the intention to defect, Shouchun officials did not dare to deal with them privately, but they treated them well.
When he learned that he wanted to deliver a message to Yingshang, it was this golden general who volunteered and expressed his willingness to make the trip.
There is no need to question the speed of the golden jade armor equipped with a BMW engine, and the other party claims to be very familiar with the terrain of Runan. Naturally, there is nothing better than a golden jade general delivering a message. No matter how you look at it, it is the fastest, even if it is passed down by Cheng Ji.
The speed of the letter is not as good as many others, and there is no need to worry about being intercepted by a small group of enemy scouts.
This is the scene where General Shining Armor fights Ji Ling.
When Bai Tu used a telescope to see the silver-armored general and the silver gun in his hand from a distance, he was already a little excited, but
After seeing the other party in person, Bai Tu was a little disappointed.
He is as young as he expected, but his appearance was thought to be inferior to that of Jiang Dong Shuangjun and their eldest brother, Changshan Zhao Zilong.
However, in Bai Tu's opinion, there is still a gap between the opponent's appearance and that of Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, not to mention compared with their eldest brother. Although he barely has thick eyebrows and big eyes, he is a bit rougher than he imagined.
Just when he was about to ask if this general was the person he thought he was, the other party already took the initiative to greet him and said: "Chen from Runan is here. I want to pay my respects to Mr. Bai."
Bai Tu concealed his disappointment, and at the same time held back what he was about to blurt out: "General Zhao, you don't have to be polite." Instead, he suddenly said, "General n, you don't have to be polite! Ahem, after the battle of Yi Jing, General Chen was fine. It's a blessing to the world."
!”
By this time, Bai Tu had already realized who this "Chen Dao" was.
How many golden and jade generals are there under the chariot and cavalry general's house now? Those who can become golden and jade generals at this time are naturally not just ordinary people.
He is the commander of the most elite white soldiers under Liu Bei, equivalent to Cao Cao's Cao Chun. He is famous for his loyalty and bravery. To describe it more intuitively, it is called Chang Ya Yu Zhao Yun in the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms.
To Chen Dao, the somewhat rude statement was equivalent to "a weaker version of Zhao Yun."
Chen Dao was a native of Runan. Historically, it was after the Yidaizhao incident broke out that Liu Bei lost and regained Xuzhou, gained and lost again, and went to seek refuge with Yuan Shao, before Chen Dao defected to Liu Bei. There are unknown records before that.
Bai Tu had never thought before that Chen Dao was also born in Baima.
It's not too far-fetched to calculate. The time when Zhao Yun defected to Liu Bei was also when Liu Bei had just arrived at Yecheng, Yuan Shao's base camp. It can be said to be the same time as Chen Dao.
