Rivers and lakes in another world

Chapter 723 Hole Cards
These four cities seem to be independent, but there are interconnected passages inside. No matter which aspect appears to be irresistible, the other three cities can provide immediate support through secret passages.

So if you only play one side, it is equivalent to one playing four.

However, the troops in Lin Hong's hands could not attack from all sides at the same time.

But facing a single pass, he is the superior force.

My own capital camp of [-] people has experienced a little bit of civil strife, but there are still some people who came out of the Imperial Palace Guards who have finally made up for it. This is the main force of the Chinese army.

There are also private soldiers of the various northern forces accumulated over the years. The number can reach [-].

Lin De can recruit a large number of desperadoes, so can Lin Hong. Lin De uses money, and Lin Hong is talking about feelings and encounters.

The desperadoes in the north are indeed evil, but there are also some who have been wronged.

They fought for Lin Hong not for money, but for revenge. Apart from killing, they couldn't smooth out the hatred in their hearts.

These people are not easy to control. It is a double-edged sword, but Lin Hong dares to use it.

Although it can't be said that he can control everyone with confidence, Lin Hong still has personal charm and a little soul poison chicken soup to fool those people.

Now in front of the coalition forces is the Shangwei City.

It is also the closest one to the northern region.

Lin Hong didn't study it in detail. The four acropolis were all made of the same model, and there wouldn't be much difference in layout.

And Linde would not be so stupid as to send some fools to defend the city.

He will either invite some veterans to play, or cooperate with multiple people in groups.

As for letting the young people of the Lin family take charge.

That's impossible, their experience is insufficient, and the younger generation of the Lin family who know martial arts and lead the army, which one has no contact with Lin Hong.

At this time, it is impossible for Linde to completely trust them.

Veterans and other experienced people are more suitable to be paired with people who can execute.

Who are the veterans still in the Kyoto area? Lin Hong knows very well. After all, they are seniors, and they are all the objects of study. I don't know who it is, but we can know clearly after a little testing.

Thirty miles away from Shangshoucheng, Lin Hong ordered to set up camp.

This is a very safe distance. The surrounding terrain is flat and open, which is convenient for monitoring the enemy's movements. Every move can be clearly seen. There is also sufficient water source and enough space to dispose of domestic garbage. At the same time, it is also convenient for Lin Hong to use some of his own. hole card.

For example, after choosing a place to set up camp, a long convoy arrived soon. The people who came were all in ordinary military uniforms. The carts pulled by them looked like food bags, but in fact they were full of high-quality armed weapons. .

One of Lin Hong's trump cards.

Build tents, arm soldiers, and launch a tentative attack tomorrow to see how well the defense is doing.

Otherwise, no one can come up with a plan out of thin air.

Intelligence is intelligence, and experience as seen by the naked eye is equally indispensable.

The actual defensive capabilities still need to be tested, which is just for the soldiers to practice their skills. If they are not familiar with siege warfare, they can just practice it a few times.

The next day, with the sound of horns, the armies of both sides began to move.

Although the first siege today was tentative, it was of great significance. Lin Hong stepped forward, and also brought Chen Zheng by his side. He was worried that Chen Zheng would stay in the camp.

The elite of the Kyoto camp mobilized [-].

The remaining 3 people are outlaws and a joint army of various forces.

They are the protagonists in today's siege, and the front is to hold the line to prevent possible riots.

The sound of horns mobilizing Lin Hong's army also woke up the defenders of the city.

Billowing smoke and dust can be seen from a distance.

They who had been vigilant for a long time reacted quickly.

It began to enter a state of combat readiness according to the divided areas.

Knowing that there is a problem in the north, the Shangshou City, which is located in the north, is more vigilant than the other three directions, because they are very likely to be the first target of attack.

So I was secretly on guard.

When Lin Hong came to attack, these people were not very panicked.

There are a lot of defenders, and there are still a steady stream of people behind to replenish them. The point is that there are not many veterans here. After all, they are very likely to become the first target of attack.

So the proportion of elite is relatively high.

The veteran who sits here is also the famous Yang Xuan of the Daxi Dynasty.

He is almost 80 years old this year.

It can be regarded as a legend of the Daxi Dynasty.

Due to physical reasons, his cultivation base is really poor. Although he is a general, his martial arts skills are average.

When God closes a door for you, it also opens a window for you.

Yang Xuan's martial arts skills are not good, but his ability to command troops is first-rate.

Decades ago, the Great Western Army firmly guarded the frontiers of the dynasty under his command.

If it weren't for physical problems, I wouldn't have retired early.

If his body is excellent, how can there be things like Lin Hong and other juniors later?

When the Germinal Sect came to attack, Yang Xuan was seriously ill and fell into a coma for a while, so he didn't play a corresponding role.

After the situation stabilized a bit, it was already very different. The Germinal Sect fell, and the people from the upper realm also came.

For the forces that appeared mysteriously, this veteran has a very keen sense, and the comers are not kind.

It's just that he has retired and doesn't have much right to speak, and the existence of people from the upper world is special, so he can't do much.

However, when the incident of Lin Hong's betrayal happened, veteran Yang Xuan felt a little complicated in his heart.

Lin Hong is also considered as half of his students. He does not have the name of master and apprentice, but he also has the reality of master and apprentice.

No one would have imagined that the little doll back then could do such a thing now.

Sure enough, after taking power, he was blinded by power.want more.

Unlike other generals who valued the power in their hands, Yang Xuan really fought with the concept of defending his family and country when he was young, and it has never changed for so many years.

Since he was half of his student, Yang Xuan felt that it was necessary for him to go out and punish this disobedient student.

As for the reason, he didn't need to ask.

At the beginning, the Germinal Sect already made Yang Xuan a little annoyed, feeling that he had lost a chance to save the people of the dynasty.

He didn't succeed before, this time Yang Xuan decided what he should do.

Before Linde went to invite the veteran, the old general sent his family to the door.

For the arrival of the old general, Lin De was overjoyed. He recruited many generals, but there were really few who were highly respected.

No one is convinced by a group of arrogant soldiers.If Linde hadn't led them, no one would have listened to others.

It's a pity that Linde has only one person and he doesn't know how to avatar. Otherwise, if one person is divided into five points, and the capital plus four defenders can make trouble on each side, can someone make trouble?

Yang Xuan's action shocked those guys to a great extent.

If it wasn't for the war, these generals would still need to deal with it for the time being.According to Linde's method, no matter what, these people have to have a good taste of death.

The sound of the horn outside woke up the veteran immediately.

Even if he is old, the habits he developed when he was young made him wake up immediately.

Only two of the veterans' sons chose to join the army, and both were of average quality.A general capable of guarding a city.

It is said that the tiger father has no dogs, but it is not necessarily accurate.

But Mr. Yang Xuan's grandson is very outstanding.

Not only good-looking, but also good talent, whether it is martial arts or the art of war, he has learned well.

Except for being younger and less experienced, he is excellent in other aspects. The old man is very happy to think that he has a successor. The two dogs in the family have not inherited his advantages. Now he has a grandson who is better than ten sons.

The old man was very happy.

He has been keeping his grandson by his side and constantly training him. His cultivation base is not high, and he doesn't have much time left for himself, so he cherishes the present opportunity very much.

The grandson of General Yang Xuan is Yang Su.The cultivation level at the peak of Zhou Tianjing is already in his twenties this year, which is incomparable to that of Lin Hong, but he is already the leader of the younger generation within the Daxi Dynasty.

Now as the captain of old man Yang Xuan's personal guard, he is learning the art of war while practicing martial arts.

It can also take care of the food and daily life of the old general. After all, he is old and has no one around him.

If there is an acute illness, someone around can respond much faster.

Hearing the sound of the horn, Yang Su immediately rushed over to change his grandpa's clothes.

Both father and uncles disagreed with grandpa going to the battlefield, so why bother at such an old age, wouldn't it be nice to live an honest life at home?

But my father and uncles didn't understand that such a life was not a peaceful old age for my grandfather, but a kind of torture.

Some people have done the same job all their lives, and they never want to touch it again after they retire.

And some people are crazy about doing the same things they did in the past.

There is no other reason, the main one is itching.

Yang Xuan is old but can't forget things from his youth. It is a humiliation for a general to die on a hospital bed. The battlefield is his final destination.

Yang Su understood his grandfather's feelings very well, and it was precisely because of his admiration that he joined the army.

Today's first attack by the rebels, I don't know what new tricks they can come up with.

And Lin Hong, a unicorn of the younger generation, Yang Su also wanted to see him.

Quickly helping grandpa put on the armor, the group of people quickly went to the top of the city.

There is not much problem with the old general's legs and feet, Yang Su and the others just need close protection.

When they came to the top of the city, the rebels outside were already clearly visible.

Although both sides are holding the name of the Daxi Dynasty, one side is the side of the Qing emperor, and the other side is seeking thieves according to the order.Nature is also different.

Yang Su looked at the densely packed troops outside and was not afraid. He was also a person who had seen big scenes, but he was trembling at that time, but now he can face it calmly.

He thinks that he can't produce any siege equipment in a day's time. Even if there are enough materials, it is good enough to build some ladders and the like, which is enough for ordinary cities.But for a tall city wall like Shangshou City, it's still a little bit short.

The simplest example is that the simple siege equipment built in a short period of time does not have much impact on the defense of the city, which can be said to be negligible.

So today's siege is likely to be anticlimactic.

It is reasonable for Yang Su to make such a judgment, and other generals may have made similar judgments.

What Lin Hong likes to do is bring surprises to people.

As the team approached, the defenders on the top of the city could already see the situation on the opposite side, densely packed with human heads and armor.But no siege equipment was found.Are they going to use the dead body to build a human ladder to get out?

It's just that Yang Su didn't know what to say in the subsequent scene. Maybe many people didn't know.

They found that each of these people seemed to be carrying something behind their backs.Then the enemy team stopped at a safe distance.

Then they unpacked their bodies and began to assemble.

Soon it became a ladder and a siege tower.

Now this is trained.

The enemy didn't come to attack in a hurry, but directly separated the siege equipment and assembled it on the spot. This is really a good idea.

Needless to say, today's battle must be fought.

There is no one-on-one fight.There is no chicken soup for the soul, it is very simple and done.

The rebels began to attack the city, and a man began to advance with a siege machine.

The defenders on the top of the city also started to move, ready to resist.

The subsequent scene is a typical scene of a siege battle, with arrows raining down and equipment attacking the city.

The flesh and blood of the soldiers collided with each other.

This is the most common scene of siege warfare, and it is also only a tentative attack.Because the offensive is not very violent, it is entirely to increase experience for the people below.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the defensive materials of the city defenders will be consumed to find out the truth.

The old general could tell at a glance that such an offensive was a bluff.Not too lethal.

You only need to worry about whether there are any lurking fighters suddenly bursting out of these attacking people, and everything else is very simple.

The old general didn't take any action, he just ordered to go down and follow the precautions during the training, and pay attention not to waste too much supplies for defending the city. Although the Lin family has a rich family background, the old general is not used to fighting for wealth, and it is possible to leave enough capital. When can I turn over?

Neither side used their true skills, but rather used a tacit understanding to get along with the soldiers, which is extraordinary no matter how you look at it.

Especially the people sent to the front line by both sides are either recruits or outlaws.Sometimes in a hurry.

In the eyes of regular army soldiers, it is unqualified, but the conditions are gradually improving as time goes by.

Slowly entering the state, everyone became enthusiastic from the nervousness and panic at the beginning. Looking at the outstanding people around, I couldn't help but fight hard. It can be said that it is very relaxed and freehand.

Lin Hong's men were even allowed to rush up to a small section of the city wall, and then were pushed down again because they did not open the situation in time.
