Under Linting City.

A wave of soldiers suddenly appeared in the dark night.

Countless red flags on a black background fluttered in the wind, blocking the dark night sky.

"Kill——! Capture Linting and capture Yan Chou alive!"

Amidst the thunderous shouts and roars, these soldiers rushed to the foot of Linting City with a fierce force, swords and guns raised, and the formation was endless.

In Linting City, the lights slowly lit up one after another, and gradually the whole city woke up in panic in the dark night.

Each light represents a family of ordinary people suddenly awakened from their sleep.

They were busy making a living every day, thinking that in this remote town where no one cared about them, they could always escape the suffering of the war.

However, in this troubled world, is there ever a piece of pure land where peace can be found?

Each of these quietly lit lights is a restless and sleepless heart.

Tonight, Linting is destined to be filled with storm and no one can sleep.

Su Ling and Guan Yunchong came to Linting City and looked up, but they saw that Linting was really a poor town.

Although there was a city wall, it was low and could not stop the army from passing by and destroying it.

The city walls are in ruins and stretch for several miles, and the ruins of collapsed walls can be seen everywhere.

There is really no danger to defend such a small city.

But Su Ling and Guan Yunchong knew that Yan Chou was inside, and he had a thousand cavalry under his command. They were really elite and should not be underestimated. There was also a garrison here, numbering about a thousand.

If the two are added together, the number of people is already over two thousand.

Although the combat power of the defenders in those areas is almost zero, the victory lies in the number of people. If a thousand defenders are killed one by one, it will probably take a lot of time.

Besides, the thousand cavalry brought by Yan Qiu were not vegetarians.

Su Ling and Guan Yunchong led only three thousand troops, half infantry and half cavalry.

Although he felt that his combat power was higher than that of Yan Qiu, he had traveled a long distance and marched in a hurry. At this time, he was already at the end of his strength. The high-intensity march was coupled with the difficulty of traveling on the road and the steep cliffs.

Being able to hold on until now is entirely due to will.

On the other hand, Yan Chou arrived at Linting early yesterday morning. A thousand cavalrymen were rested and reorganized, and now they are completely waiting for work. In addition, there are local defenders as their minions.

From this point of view, the combat power of Yan Chou's army is even higher than that of Su Ling and Guan Yunchong.

Furthermore, even though the city wall is broken, it is still a city wall. There are archers on the top of the wall shooting arrows from a high position, and there are also rolling logs and stones to prevent the infantry from setting up ladders to attack.

Although the city wall is in ruins, it cannot be considered to be on level ground, and the cavalry cannot cross it smoothly.

Therefore, Su Ling and Guan Yunchong both chose to call the formation in a tacit understanding, leading Yan Qiu to lead the troops to fight, and then act according to the opportunity instead of attacking the city directly.

Casualties are a factor they have to consider.

Not only do they have to consider it, but Prime Minister Xiao Yuanche also has to consider that his own troops are much smaller than Shen Jizhou's. Shen Jizhou's family has a great business and he can squander it casually. Anyway, with hundreds of thousands of troops, he is naturally confident, but what about Xiao Yuanche?

There was only 80,000 yuan, but he claimed to be more than 100,000 yuan. He couldn't squander it, and he couldn't afford it.

Su Ling asked the soldiers calling the formation to scold the formation at the top of their lungs, choosing whatever was unpleasant to hear. The soldiers calling the formation were now more than satisfied with their mouths. Grandma Zuzu's scolding made all the eighteen generations of Yan Chou's ancestors go aside.

I still feel upset.

Su Ling said with a smile: "If you don't feel angry, I'll catch Shen Jizhou and scold him for whatever is unpleasant!"

These soldiers who called the formation have never scolded so much. They all shouted at the top of their lungs. This curse was so shocking that it made them cry.

The soldiers in the formation were shouting and scolding happily, but when they saw the suspension bridge of Linting City was lowered and the city gate was wide open, a group of about two thousand people, half infantry and half cavalry, rushed out with shouts and shouts.

The leading general, holding a long sword in his hand, was sitting on a horse. He was tall and burly, and it was Yan Chou.

Su Ling then laughed secretly, "If I scold you like this, I don't believe you won't come out..."

Su Ling whispered to Guan Yunchang: "Brother Yunchong, that Yan Chou has come out..."

Guan Yunchong nodded, stared at Yan Qiu, and said in a deep voice: "Now that you are out, don't even think about going back!..."

Su Ling looked at Guan Yunchong, but saw the cold light flashing in his eyes, and knew that he had murderous intentions towards Yan Chou.

Su Ling looked at Yan Qiu again, but saw that his face was red and his eyes were bloodshot. For some reason, his eyes were slightly scattered. Although he opened them hard, they were indescribably awkward.

Su Ling laughed heartily and shouted to Yan Qiu with a mocking look on his face: "Old Yan, I just greeted your ancestors, are you satisfied?"

Yan Chou was already furious, and no one could bear that kind of scolding. Hearing that Su Ling dared to mention this matter to him, he yelled angrily: "Su Ling, you despicable kid, you can only succeed.

He talks cheaply, but he has the guts to fight with Grandpa Baihe."

Su Ling deliberately confused his mind and said with a smile: "That's right, continue to be angry. If you get angry and have a cerebral hemorrhage or something, the front of the battle will explode. It will also save us trouble and we can capture Linting."

Yan Qiu sighed and said: "Su Ling, go ahead and dream your big dream. The soldiers behind me today are all elites. They will be waiting for you to die. Do you dare to fight?"

When Su Ling heard this, he raised his head and took a closer look. He couldn't help but admire Yan Chou's ability to lead troops.

Yan Chou was indeed much superior to Wen Liang. Not to mention that the cavalry formation was quite organized. He had been here for only a day, and the formation of the local defenders had already improved a little. It was not as scattered as the impression that the local defenders had.

.

Su Ling's heart trembled, and she thought to herself that it would be difficult to capture Linting as quickly as possible.

Although he was a little drunk, Yan Chou took advantage of the alcohol and lifted the reins of his horse. He saw the big black horse stepping out with four hooves, setting off bursts of smoke and dust in front of the two armies. Yan Chou rode the horse and shouted loudly:

: "Who dares to fight with me?"

The Linting County Magistrate and the County Magistrate and other civil servants all stood on the city tower and watched with attention. Seeing that General Yan Qiuyan was really heroic and mighty, it was a good time to pat him on the back. The County Magistrate roared: "Left and right

, come on, beat the drum! Show your majestic general’s might with your majestic appearance!”

"Dong dong dong..." The sound of drums echoed from Linting City. The sound was majestic enough, but the county magistrate always felt that it was not quite up to the mark, so he simply kicked out the drum beater.

The pawns rolled up their arms and sleeves, went into battle in person, and beat the drums.

This flattery is indeed enough to lead by example...

With the support of the drums and the punch of strong liquor, Yan Chou showed off his strength even more, as if the huge formation of both armies could no longer accommodate him, the most brave general in the world.

Just as Su Ling turned around, he saw a cavalry lieutenant in his own camp getting angry, roaring, holding a spear in his hand and saying: "Yan Qiu, don't go wild, I will fight you!"

Su Ling secretly thought that something was wrong. Who was Yan Chou? How could one of his lieutenants defeat him? He could only kill him.

But the lieutenant had already galloped towards Yan Chou with his spear drawn, and it was too late for Su Ling to stop him.

Sure enough, the deputy general rode up to him, and without any explanation, he thrust his spear straight into Yan Chou's chest. Yan Chou did not dodge, but he swung the long knife in his hand and blocked the spear.

There was a "whoosh" sound, and under the huge earthquake, the deputy general couldn't hold the spear in his hand at all. When he touched it, the spear whirled and flew into the air.

When the lieutenant general was stunned, Yan Chou made a gesture and cut the lieutenant general into two pieces with one stroke of his sword.

The whole body was bleeding all over the ground, and the dead body was completely shapeless. It was really miserable.

Su Ling shook his hands and said helplessly: "Why did this happen..."

When Yan Chou saw that he had killed a general, he immediately became arrogant and laughed loudly and said: "What? Who is going to die? Hurry up and you can keep him company!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another lieutenant rushed out from behind Su Ling, slapped his horse and wielded his sword, and headed straight for Yan Qiu.

It turns out that this person and the one who died just now are from the same hometown, and they joined the army at the same time. They have a deep relationship. How can you not feel sad when you see your companion die so miserably?

I saw Yan Chou laughing and shouting again, how could I bear it?

Only then did he slap a horse to fight against Yan Chou.

Su Ling was so anxious that he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Come back! If you go, you will die too!"

Before he finished speaking, he saw the general slashing at Yan Chou's head with his sword. Yan Chou didn't block it at all. He just thrust his long knife forward and pierced the chest of the general.

The general's falling sword only fell halfway, and then suddenly stopped for a moment.

When Yan Chou turned around and withdrew his sword, the deputy general screamed, blood spurted from his chest, and he fell off his horse. He was pawing with his hands and feet, and died soon after.

"Wow -" Su Ling's entire army was in chaos. Yan Chou won two battles in a row. In an instant, two lieutenants fell into his hands.

The remaining two lieutenants of the cavalry had already turned red. How could they bear it when they saw their brothers died so tragically under Yan Chou's sword?

They all roared and were about to urge their horses to fight Yan Chou.

Su Ling couldn't bear it any longer and yelled: "No one is allowed to fight. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"

When the two lieutenants heard this, they could only stand there with tears in their eyes. They raised their fists towards Su Ling and said, "Why did Su Changshi stop us from avenging our two brothers!"

Su Ling looked sad and said: "You think I can't bear to feel resentment for the death of the two lieutenant brothers? But Yan Qiu Yongwu is beyond your reach. You should keep your usefulness until the general attack.

Kill as many enemy soldiers as possible. This is how you can avenge your dead brothers. If you step forward rashly, not only will you not be able to avenge yourself, but you will risk your own life! Isn't it not worth it?"

The two lieutenants felt warm in their hearts, knowing that this was Su Ling's sympathy for them, but they still said with determination: "Our two brothers are dead, how can we stand still? Today we have decided to fight this feud, and we will fight against it.

It’s better to die than to be a tortoise!”

When Su Ling heard this, he flashed a cold light and shouted loudly: "I'll say it again! Whoever dares to step forward again, Su Ling will engage in military law!"

Then Su Ling looked at Yan Chou, who was arrogant in front of the formation. He was really seven dissatisfied, eight dissatisfied, and one hundred and twenty didn't care. He looked like he was seeking death.

Su Ling also felt an unknown fire in his heart.

He pressed his hand on the scabbard of the long sword Jiangshanxiao behind his back, and with a sound of "Clang--", Jiangshanxiao flashed a cold light, and the sword was unsheathed with a cold light.
