Chapter 175 Seeking Stability in Chaos
Jiang Yue walked carefully.
The city walls are so high that if you fall down, you will either die or be crippled.
At this moment, she had a broad vision and did not forget to take a look inside the city.
The city was dark and the people were all hiding in their homes, not going out.
Outside the city, there was a commotion.
The city was quiet, as if nothing had happened.
But that's just the appearance.
Jiang Yue walked and soon discovered something was wrong.
The enemy's soldiers were hiding everywhere in the city.
Jiang Yue was originally regretting that she did not bring a rope when she came, otherwise, she would have slid down the city wall and entered the city. But now it seemed that this was not going to work.
At this moment, the women in the brothels appeared in her mind.
Or maybe there are enemy troops hiding in the city.
Who opened the city gate? She had no idea.
Just take one step at a time and move forward.
Still thirty feet away from the city wall, Jiang Yue knew that he could not go any further. If he went any further, he might be shot into a sieve by the enemy at any time.
But, she is Jiang Yue.
She turned around and hung her body on the city wall. Of course, because the wall was gently sloping, her body was facing outward.
She exchanged her hands outside, and her feet sometimes stepped on the mottled potholes on the city wall.
During the movement, they moved quickly and cautiously, for fear of being hit by enemy arrows.
The reason why she was so confident was because General Ling would be here in a moment.
...On the city wall, He Lanrui stood high on the wall, overlooking the melee below, enjoying the show, just waiting to annihilate all the Donglin soldiers.
Fifty thousand versus ten thousand, he is sure to win.
...On Ling Yunxiao's side, the melee continued and the scene was bloody.
The enemy's young generals tried several times to lead their soldiers to break out of the encirclement, but failed.
The clanging and killing sounds were extremely tragic.
They had no choice but to throw down their weapons and raise their hands in surrender.
In an instant, everyone fell to their knees.
The main generals are all dead. If we don’t surrender, we will be dead.
At this moment, the sound of galloping horses came, Xue Wen approached and said to Ling Yunxiao,
"General, Linzhou has been lost and the enemy is about to break into the city. Captain Jiang is sending his subordinates to request support!"
Xue Wen made his point short and was extremely anxious.
"What!" Ling Yunxiao was very anxious. He knew that things would not be that simple.
The enemy is taking advantage of his lack of manpower.
"Yuan Chen, you clean up the mess! Zhang Yan, follow me to rescue!"
As soon as he gave the order, he led 50,000 soldiers and rushed towards Linzhou City.
Xue Wen followed closely and Zhang Yan took the order.
After hearing this, Xia Yuanchen was eager to follow, but he had to consider the overall situation.
Brother Ling takes care of him all the time, and the tasks assigned to him are all ready-made.
...Jiang Yue at this moment,
The tower was already close to her. She climbed up, her body light and careful.
Finally she steadied herself, curled up and flickered like a shadow,
The enemy soldiers near the city wall only had time to look back before their throats were strangled and they were unable to speak.
Jiang Yue's men twisted hard, and the enemy's head bent to the side. Jiang Yue stabilized his body and gently knocked him down. Then he let his body curl up in the corner and stood in his place.
Jiang Yue was able to do so smoothly because it was dark and windy at night and because the visibility was limited and the armor of both sides could not be seen clearly. If it had been daytime, it would not have been so easy.
She wanted to rescue General Yue, but General Yue was being held hostage by He Lanrui.
Jiang Yue could only look for the perfect opportunity to rescue him in a short period of time.
...The fierce fighting drowned out everything, including the sound of horse hooves coming from far away.
When Ling Yunxiao arrived, the fighting under the Linzhou city wall was still going on.
Seeing this scene, Ling Yunxiao thought that the enemy was cunning.
His first reaction was that the current situation was caused by the failure to eliminate all the enemy spies in Linzhou City.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the enemy to break into the city so easily in such a short time.
Of course, someone inside opened the city gate.
Seeing General Yue being held hostage on the city gate tower, he felt deeply guilty.
He immediately led his 50,000 soldiers to the battlefield.
"Soldiers, charge!"
Insufficient military force is his Achilles' heel.
Recruiting soldiers can only be continued after the Chinese New Year.
This scene made the guard Qin Yu and the captain Zheng Chuan feel relieved.
When Jiang Yue saw General Ling, she finally felt relieved. She stood in the enemy's position, still looking for an opportunity to kill the enemy.
Seeing this, Yue Tingshan felt relieved. The general was here, but he didn't know whether Linzhou City was still theirs.
After all, Yuwen Che is not a simple person either.
As he turned his eyes, he suddenly saw a shadow flashing.
He is not tall, thin and small,
Jiang Yue? How did she get up here?
He and Jiang Yue looked at each other.
She is really capable. How did she get to such a high and dangerous place?
He shook his head at Jiang Yue and asked her to leave.
If she fell into the hands of the enemy, she would be dead.
However, Jiang Yue nodded at him, and in the firelight, she gave him an affirmative look.
Yue Tingshan felt more worried than before.
He was an old widower, so if he died, he died, but Jiang Yue was only a teenager.
……
"Ling Yunxiao!" He Lanrui saw Ling Yunxiao's 50,000 troops at the same time. He became suspicious and thought to himself, General Yuwen claims to be an undefeated general, so how could he escape tonight?
In his opinion, Ling Yunxiao was a fool just like General Xia in the past.
After all, he lost his first battle.
He looked at his subordinates beside him.
"Keep an eye on Yue Tingshan. This old man's skills are unpredictable. Don't make any mistakes. He is waiting to be presented to our King Yan. We will all be rewarded."
After He Lanrui finished speaking, his subordinates followed his orders and restrained Yue Tingshan, whose hands were tied.
Then, He Lanrui personally took the bow and arrow from his subordinate and aimed the arrow at Ling Yunxiao's body...
However, at this moment, the words of Deputy General Zhang Yan exploded in the night sky.
"Yuwen Che is dead. You must surrender immediately to have a chance to survive!"
When the enemy soldiers under the city wall heard this, they were all shocked, but they still had to fight.
At the same time, a human head was thrown onto the city wall.
He Lanrui picked it up and took a look at it. She was so frightened that she fell to the ground, her hands still shaking uncontrollably.
Beside him, all the Northern Yan soldiers were stunned with fear and had already collapsed on the ground.
Impossible, impossible, General Yuwen is so brave, he can't possibly die!
This must be Ling Yunxiao’s trick!
Jiang Yue stared at this scene.
If we don’t act now, when will we act?
She had already dodged forward and swung out her long sword, killing the enemy soldier who had kidnapped Yue Tingshan on the spot.
He almost didn't have time to look back at Jiang Yue before his body fell forward uncontrollably.
Yue Tingshan, who was originally in a hostage situation, felt his hands behind his back loosen and the rope slipped off.
Yuwen Che is dead? He didn't have time to think too much, Jiang Yue's whole body appeared beside him, making him burst into tears.
Without saying a word, he blocked Jiang Yue's way, pulled her body and started to retreat.
but,
Because of this sudden scene, all the enemy soldiers on the tower looked at Jiang Yue and Yue Tingshan.
Then, they rushed towards them at the same time.
