Chapter 271: The Disparity

Night fell unknowingly, the crescent moon slowly climbed up to the treetops, the bright moonlight began to spread across the earth, and a gray silver white could be seen everywhere in the world.

When Li Ming's more than 2,000 people arrived at Linjiazhuang, the crescent moon had already hung on the sky. Under the dim moonlight, the tall Linjiazhuang city wall could not see the sky at first sight. The flickering lights on the city tower seemed extremely conspicuous. Although the sun had just set off for less than two hours, the gates of Linjiazhuang were tightly closed and the wide suspension bridge had been lifted high. In this case, it was impossible for Li Ming and the others to enter the city.

Li Ming was very conflicted when he crossed the small town just now. Due to the wrong estimation of the situation and his intelligence mistakes, he made a wrong judgment on Lin Lingqiang's strength, which made him step into a dangerous place here. It is impossible to turn back now. At a stop in Fengcheng last night, his traces were probably exposed. Now Lin Jiazhuang is so vigilant, probably just to guard against himself. At this time, on the way back, Lin Lingqiang's men had already been ambushed on his way back, and was waiting for him to come to his door. Therefore, in a dilemma, Li Ming still chose to bite the bullet and move forward. If he could open a bloody road in Lin Jiazhuang and meet Lin Lingfeng and his daughter at the owner's mansion, he would not have a chance to escape.

It seemed a bit surprisingly quiet this night. Apart from the sound of horse hooves of Li Ming and others, there was nothing else. He waved his hand to stop the pace of his team. Li Ming looked at the city gate 200 meters away, wondering whether he would attack in while the night was dark. Although the opponent was a martial arts master, the crossbow arrows in the hands of his personal guards were not vegetarian. In addition, the three-talent formation that the personal guards were extremely skilled and the sword in his hand, he was still sure to open the city gate in front of him. This kind of siege tactic is Li Ming's strength. Always the other party was a martial arts master, and he also had enough confidence.

However, Li Ming still has no idea how to carry out the attack after the attack is in. In the empty fields or on the wide streets, his personnel are not afraid of each other. However, if they are on the narrow streets or in the courtyard of the room, the scattered guards will become fish and ducks on the crushing boards. Without the cooperation of the Sancai Formation, any person from Linjiazhuang can eliminate two or three guards. Therefore, Li Ming's matter is very contradictory. If he goes in, the casualties will definitely be very serious. However, if he doesn't go in, the meaning of his own coming will be gone. If he doesn't attack in at night, their situation will be even worse tomorrow. Once he is surrounded by those martial arts masters, it will be a dead end. Therefore, even if there is a great loss, the attack tonight will still be carried out.

The idea was decided, Li Ming was about to issue an order, but suddenly he heard a burst of laughter from the city wall not far away. Then, the lanterns on the city tower were suddenly lit. On the brightly lit city tower, a middle-aged man stood tall and looked at Li Ming proudly, and said with a smile: "As a prince of the Tang Empire, the King of Zhongyong actually took more than 2,000 people to take risks. Such reckless actions disappointed Lin Lingqiang very much. I originally thought you were going to mobilize a large army to rob my Linjiazhuang, but I didn't expect that you were too dissatisfied with Linjiazhuang. Not to mention that you had more than 2,000 people, even if you had more than 20,000 or 200,000 people, I can still kill you without leaving any armor. Li Ming, today, do you think you can run back?"

When he learned that the person on the other side was Lin Lingqiang, Li Ming's heart beat faster. At this time, he really regretted it. He thought that his opponent was just a group of martial arts masters. If he sent a large army to conquer, he would not be able to catch them at all. Once they escaped, no matter how many troops would pursue them, he would not be of much help to Lin Lingfeng, so he brought two thousand personal guards. However, he did not expect that Lin Lingfeng's current situation would become so critical, and the situation in front of him was completely different from what he thought. If he led an army of 100,000 to besiege Linjiazhuang at this time, I believe that Lin Lingqiang and others had benefited from divination, but the matter was so unsatisfied. Li Ming's two thousand personal guards were not of much use in this situation.

Seeing Li Ming not saying a word, Lin Lingqiang laughed again and said, "Li Ming, your master usually praises you for being a rare person. I thought you were so outstanding, but I didn't expect that he would be such a coward. Why? Are you scared now? Letting a person like you be Long'er's husband is simply a disgrace to our Linjiazhuang reputation. OK, I won't talk nonsense to you anymore. I could have someone directly wiped you out under the city, but I was very curious and wanted to see what Li Ming, who made Long'er fascinated, looked like. Now it seems that it's really better not to come. The person who comes will destroy them all, without leaving a single living." After saying that, he pointed at Li Ming for a moment, turned around and disappeared into the city tower.

Lin Lingqiang's words ignited the battle under the city. As he finished speaking, the thick city gate slowly opened and the wide suspension bridge also fell. At the same time, a firework that sent messages was shot out from the city wall, and exploded with a loud bang in the air.

Facing the enemy flocking out from the opposite side, Jia Fifteen, who was in charge of leading the army, ordered all the guards to dismount very calmly, and then rely on the horseback to build a crossbow. The team members near the city gate pointed the enemy and pulled the trigger without waiting for Jia Fifteen to speak.

After a sound of bowstrings, a large group of corpses suddenly fell from the wide city gate and suspension bridge. More than half of the enemies who rushed out of the city gate fell down in the blink of an eye. The remaining dozen people quickly reacted, grabbed the companion who fell to the ground and bento him. Regardless of whether the person was saved or not, they raised it and rushed into Li Ming's team.

Li Ming's personal guards had never seen such a life-threatening person on the battlefield, nor had they seen this kind of fighting style. Although the power of crossbow arrows is great, they cannot penetrate a person's body. Therefore, the personal guards who let a round of crossbow arrows could only watch the enemy appear in front of them like lightning.

Fortunately, the personal guards were already very skilled in cooperation. Seeing that the crossbow had lost its function, the team members in the forefront quickly drew out their sabers and launched hand-to-hand combat with the masters with the support of the surrounding Sancai Formation. Although those who rushed into Li Ming's team were all very skilled in martial arts, they were as if they were facing Thousand-Handed Guanyin, and countless sabers were slashed at them at every moment. However, it was impossible for them to resist this supply with their hands and eyes. Therefore, many people were cut into meat paste as soon as they entered the Sancai Formation, and had a few flexible heads.

Seeing that something was wrong, they jumped into the sky, but they didn't expect that they immediately attracted crossbow arrows from the guards from a distance. In the blink of an eye, several enemies like hedgehogs fell into the crowd. At the same time, the guards behind the formation raised their crossbow arrows and carried out dense coverage strikes at the gate of the enemy city and the suspension bridge. The rain of arrows from the sky nailed most of the enemies who left the city to the ground. Only a few agile masters waved their weapons and formed a sword and sword curtain around them, killing the crossbow arrows from the sky from the side.

Seeing more than a dozen people with high martial arts skills being swallowed up by the Sancai Formation in a blink of an eye, the guards were all excited. They shouted in unison, letting the loud shouts drive away the fear in their hearts and let the pride of soaring into the sky inspire them to fight bravely.

Seeing Li Ming's tactics, the enemy on the city tower adjusted the tactics in time. This time, every enemy who left the city held a heavy wooden board and blocked their heads and fronts tightly, which completely made the crossbows in the hands of the guards completely use it. What was particularly terrifying is that those enemies who left the city were obviously selected and were able to use the heavy wooden board as weapons to sweep towards the guards. Even though Lin Long taught the three talent formation, even if the three-talent formation was tight, and even if the personal guards cooperated with each other, they could not resist the heavy wooden boards swept across the mountains and seas. Many of the guards in the front line were swept up by this domineering attack, and then fell heavily into the crowd. The people swept by the wooden boards either died on the spot or had their bones broken. It seems that Lin Lingqiang photographed some masters this time.

Li Ming, who was at the center of the Three Talent Formation, saw that his people were in a bad situation, hurriedly ordered Zhuang Ya to lead two apprentices forward to reinforce. Although Zhuang Ya was one of the best masters on Biquan Island, he realized when he arrived at Linjiazhuang that his martial arts could not be said to be an absolute master. At least this was the case at this time. On the suspension bridge, he and the two apprentices joined forces to barely block six enemies and blocked them tightly in front of them. He found that a master came. The six people who were stopped by Zhuang Ya and the others gave up the wooden boards in their hands, drew out their swords and jumped high and low on the suspension bridge. The three of them fought with Zhuang Ya and the others in a difficult way.

Zhuang Ya and his team blocked the enemies gushing out of the city on the suspension bridge. Those who held heavy wooden boards could not break through the battle area of ​​Zhuang Ya and their team. The area of ​​the suspension bridge was effective. Zhuang Ya and the three of them helped each other on the suspension bridge, fully exerting the essence of the three talent formation, so that no matter how many people came up, no matter how many people came up, they could not stand at a cheap price. Of course, fighting on the suspension bridge, the opponent could only send out six people at most. If there were too many people, crowding together would limit their performance.

Taking advantage of the opportunity that the enemy was blocked by Zhuang Ya and the others, the guards raised their crossbow arrows in time, and took advantage of the enemy who was sweeping and slashing in the formation, and shot wildly at their flaws. Although a lot of crossbow arrows were wasted, many enemies were still put down in the formation. As the number of enemies became fewer and fewer, the guards began to risk their lives to attack the remaining people, and many guards died with the enemy.

Seeing this situation, Li Ming, who was new in the formation, felt heartbroken. At this moment, he really wanted to raise the rifle in his hand to shoot the enemies one by one, but he knew that he could not do that. This time he brought a total of 300 bullets, which was all he had seized. This kind of life-saving thing was to be used in key places. To deal with the most powerful masters, a large amount of ammunition must be used. Therefore, he could only watch the guards fight against the enemy, but there was no way at all.

The smooth situation on Zhuangya did not last long. Seeing that the road was blocked, the other party immediately sent a real master. Two middle-aged men slowly fell from the city wall under the moonlight and attacked Zhuangya from the air. Zhuangya, who felt the danger, did not care about stopping those who were swarming out of the city. He turned his hand and swung the attack from the air, then took the air and kicked a enemy who was coming to him. Then he fought fiercely with one of the masters. With Zhuangya's martial arts, he could only tie with that person. In short, that person could also be considered a master of Lin Ping.

Another master took advantage of Zhuang Ya's failure to draw his hands and began to kill Zhuang Ya's two disciples. Zhuang Ya's disciple was far from the opponent of that person. Within two moves, one of them was hit by a palm and vomited blood. The situation was very critical.

At this time, Li Ming no longer cared about the bullets in his hand. After a while, Zhuang Ya's two apprentices were about to die. He raised the rifle in his hand, and as the man paused in the air for a moment, Li Ming decisively pulled the trigger.

The man's martial arts were far from reaching the level of being able to avoid bullets. A distance of 200 meters was within the effective range of the Type 95 rifle. With a crisp sound, a blood light appeared on the man's chest. After the small-caliber bullet penetrated his chest, it quickly rolled in his body. In a blink of an eye, a terrifying master came to the brink of death.

Another person was startled by this sudden change. In a daze, he was knocked away by Zhuang Ya's palm. With the reaction of this palm, he flew to the injured disciple, picked him up and leaped back to the formation. In this blink of an eye, more and more enemies were gushing out of the city. At the same time, behind Li Ming and the others, hurried shouts and footsteps began to come.

Li Ming, who was heartbroken by the losses of the guards at the city gate, couldn't help but be shocked. The fireworks shot out from the city tower just now were obviously conveying messages to the enemies in the distance. Now, his two thousand troops not only have to face the terrifying masters in the city, but also face attacks from the rear. Could it be that he would really be unexpectedly lost in this place?

At this time, Li Ming was no longer the one who went with the flow and did not dare to fight against fate. Now he was absolutely unwilling to be buried here. Therefore, after realizing that he had been attacked, he raised his rifle to kill several very rampant enemies one by one, and then shouted loudly: "Everyone obeys the order! Change the defense formation, cover the crossbows in the back row, and all the team members attack! You must attack the city gate as fast as possible and attack!" His voice penetrated all kinds of noise on the battlefield and clearly entered the ears of every personal guard.
