Chapter 293 Stop the War (3)
Chapter 293: Stop the War (Three)
When Lin Shuang was entangled by two masters, Lin Fang had been waiting outside the city wall with his more than 50 subordinates and twelve snipers for a long time.
According to the telegram from the command center, Lin Shuang should have appeared in this place at midnight to meet them. Now it was about to meet, but Lin Shuang's figure still did not appear, which made Lin Fang, who was on a separate trip for the first time, feel anxious.
According to the situation explained to him by the command center before leaving, there were many experts in Nanguo City. Their skills were not worth mentioning in front of those people. Therefore, the official who explained the situation repeatedly warned them that without Lin Shuang's support, he must not enter the city rashly. Based on this, Lin Fang forced himself to resist the urge to take everyone directly into the city and waited anxiously outside the city wall.
The weather that night was very beneficial to them. The thick clouds completely covered the starlight in the sky. At this moment, it can be described as not seeing five fingers. Even Lin Fang and their own people could not see their teammates who were close at hand. They judged their positions completely based on the steps of their teammates. Therefore, although the night is very beneficial to action, it also puts a lot of psychological pressure on them. Anyone will involuntarily feel a sense of fear on this dark night.
There seemed to be nothing unusual on the city wall in front of him. Except for the soldiers patrolling with lanterns passing by from time to time, the rest of the time was completely immersed in the dark night. Lin Fang was absolutely sure to take advantage of the gap between the patrol soldiers passing by, but midnight was not yet here, so he did not dare to act casually.
In the distance, a few clear sounds came from the Genggu Tower, only a moment before midnight.
Lin Fang was anxiously turning around in the circle, and from time to time he looked towards the city wall. Although the surroundings were still pitch black, he always hoped to see Lin Shuang appear in time.
Finally, he could no longer bear waiting in such a dark night. With a command, he took the lead to lead ten of the best-in-class men to jump up the city wall. Although the walls of Nanguo City were tall, they were not difficult for Lin Fang and others. The Lin family's Piaoxu skills were originally excellent, and it was no problem to jump onto such a high city wall.
However, before they could stand firm on the city wall, dense long swords and spears attacked them. On this dark night, the sudden attack made Lin Fang feel scared and sweated.
"Note! The enemy is ambushed!" Several spears flashed, Lin Fang pierced an enemy in front of him with a sword, and at the same time he warned loudly.
With Lin Fang's voice, bright torches lit up one after another on the pitch-black city wall, and the torches hanging inside the city wall illuminated the above. Suddenly, the enemy troops ambushed on the city wall appeared.
The good thing is that there is no martial arts know among the enemies that ambushed here. Ordinary things are not Lin Fang and their opponents. Therefore, although they were in a hurry by the raid, there were still no casualties among them. In just a few minutes, they cleared a large area of open space around them. At the same time, the team members under the city also jumped up and joined Lin Fang and their battle group. In a short time, they were slaughtering soldiers.
But the good times did not last long. The torches and battles on the city wall quickly attracted the enemy's masters. About 30 people arrived here a few minutes after the battle on the city wall. They fought fiercely with Lin Fang and the others. Several monks among the enemies had excellent martial arts skills, which kept suppressing Lin Fang and the others breathless. Several of them were even seriously injured.
At this time, a long roar that echoed through the sky came from afar.
Almost at the same time, the twelve snipers who had been waiting under the city wall to respond suddenly attacked.
These twelve snipers officially took on this role from Linjiazhuang. At that time, for the sake of the opponent's masters under Lin Lingqiang, Li Ming specially handed them the twelve 95 styles brought back to them. Later, after returning to the island, they were officially asked to be full-time snipers. After several months of training and modern sniper theory training, they had become a terrifying force in Li Ming's hands. When Lin Fang and they went up just now, their professional habits quickly prepared sniper cover. Seeing that Lin Fang and others were in a bad situation, these snipers began to attack the enemy troops appearing on the female wall.
The snipers are holding authentic 95 styles. With the help of a torch emitted faint light from the city wall, they basically shoot one at a distance. Although the enemies in the city wall cannot be beaten, the people next to them are in trouble first, including the enemies who are particularly skilled monks.
A round of gunfire sounded, and twelve enemies leaning against the edge of the female wall fell down. For a moment, everyone who was fighting was stunned by the sudden change.
First, there was a terrifying roar, followed by a loud noise, and then more than ten people fell down in one go. This kind of accident was very conspicuous even on the battlefield of fierce fighting. The enemy's first reaction was to pounce on the female wall and look down, trying to find out the source of the sound. This could not be said to be stupid, but they had never encountered such a situation before, and they did not know how to find a place to avoid the lightning-like bullet. They did this purely out of instinct.
This reaction of the enemy gave the sniper a more convenient target to shoot. They have experienced people from the fight on the city wall just now, so this time, almost all the monks with bare heads fell under the sniper's muzzle.
It was at this time that Lin Fang and the others realized that each of them was carrying a rifle.
The use of their own martial arts made them not realize the existence of the rifle in the tense battle just now. The sniper's shooting made them realize the existence of powerful weapons around them. So, in the panic of the enemy, they took off their rifles one after another, quickly opened the distance between the other party, and started shooting at the enemy. Suddenly, the city wall became a piece of purgatory...
As Lin Fang and his team were about to end, Lin Shuang also got rid of the interceptions of the two masters.
Hearing Lin Shuang's roar, Yang Ping arrived at the scene as fast as possible within five minutes. At this time, Lin Shuang was fighting fiercely with the two people. When he saw Yang Ping arrive, he hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up and help me stop these two people. I want to pick up the personnel sent by the emperor. They may have been surrounded."
After hearing Lin Shuang say this, and listening to the sound of gunfire like fried beans in the distance, Yang Ping didn't say a word, and squeezed into the battle group after coming up. Lin Shuang took the opportunity to pull out and ran towards the place where the gunfire was emitted like lightning.
When Lin Shuang arrived, Lin Fang and others had already wiped out most of the enemy troops on the city wall. After destroying the opponent's masters, they put away their rifles and continued to use their long swords to block the enemy troops rushing up on both sides of the city wall. At the same time, several people were pulling the snipers with ropes on the edge of the city wall. Although the martial arts of those snipers were good, they still had no ability to jump onto the city wall.
Seeing Lin Shuang, Lin Fang hurriedly stepped forward to see him. In a hurry, the two of them didn't care about saying anything. After pulling the sniper up, they disappeared in the middle of the dark houses and streets in the outer city, led by Lin Shuang.
With Lin Shuang's leadership, even though the enemy troops in the city had already taken action, the city's guards and searches could not stop Lin Fang and his friends from entering the inner city. They forcibly broke through two heavily defended walls. Lin Fang and the others finally arrived at the place where Lin Shuang lived when the bells and drums sounded at the hour of Mao.
This place is deep in a dense residential area. Although Princess Changle has many subordinates, she has not been able to find it. When Lin Fang and the others arrived, Yang Ping had not come back yet, and probably started a massacre outside again. When the enemy was in full swing, it was the best time to kill Princess Changle's confidants.
Without even having to greet Lin Shuang, Lin Fang hurriedly ordered the correspondent to report what had just happened to Li Ming. This happened that he had never expected in advance. He originally wanted to sneak into the city secretly, but he did not expect to be discovered by the enemy. In this way, their whereabouts into the city have been exposed. It is unknown whether they can become a surprise weapon in Li Ming's hand.
Li Ming should have received a telegram from Lin Fang after midnight. After midnight, there was no news. He sent a telegram to Lin Shuang, saying that Lin Shuang had already gone out to pick her up and had not come back yet. This made Li Ming worry. He had seen the masters around Princess Changle. At that time, only the old monk could block Lin Long's full blow. The high martial arts of martial arts can be imagined. Letting Lin Fang and others go over would be a death, but this was also helpless. After all, Yang Ping and Lin Shuang were too few. Two fists could not match four hands. At the critical moment, they could not take care of them at all. Let Lin Fang and Lin Shuang go in at least to take care of the emergency situation. However, more than an hour has passed since the time of reunion, and there is no news from Lin Fang and Lin Shuang. Why don't Li Ming worry?
In this worried mood, Li Mingzhan didn't meet at all. He had no idea whether his assassination plan could be successful and whether it would have any effect. If Princess Changle could not stop her desperate bets at that time, her efforts these days would be in vain.
In this way, Li Ming spent most of the night in anxiety. Until he received the telegram from Lin, his mysterious heart finally let go, but at the same time, he was also surprised and worried about the things in Nanguo City.
Judging from the telegram, not only Lin Fang's traces have been exposed, but even Lin Shuang and Yang Ping have been known to each other. Lin Shuang's long roar will undoubtedly sound the alarm for Princess Changle, and may also make her do unexpected things. If she continues to implement the original plan, it will be difficult to guarantee that Princess Changle will use any tricks.
Thinking of this, Li Ming, who was originally a little sleepy, suddenly woke up. He kept walking in the empty tent, his mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about better responses.
After thinking for a long time, he could not come up with a complete solution. Helplessly, he walked out of the tent with an irritable mood.
The sky outside was still pitch black, and the strong wind in late autumn poured into his collar one after another, making him feel a strong chill when he lost his martial arts skills, and also made him realize that before he knew it, the winter of the year was coming again.
Although the winter in the south is not as icy and snowy as winter, it is also unbearable. His current troops attacked from all directions and formed a situation of sweeping the Tang Dynasty. The situation in the north is better. At present, the war in Qianye City is still in stalemate, but the south is more complicated. Not only the situation in Nanguo City makes him feel a little difficult to get on, but the South Dian Prefecture also makes him worried. Wang Wen's troops had met the army of the Great Su Kingdom yesterday. After occupying the South Dian Prefecture, they did not stop for a moment and directly drove their troops north. What Li Ming did not expect was that the Great Su Kingdom was actually dispatched this time.
With nearly 400,000 troops, this number was estimated after Wang Wen lost nearly 1,000 scouts. No wonder the Southern Dian Prefecture fell within one or two days, and the 120,000 soldiers could not compete with the army of the more than 400,000 Soviet Union. However, Li Ming still hasn't figured out how so many people in the Great Su Kingdom crossed the primitive rainforest and suddenly appeared in the Southern Dian Prefecture. With so many large troops, the daily supply was a large number, but the logistics supply could not be completed with the winding paths in the rainforest. But Wang Wen said that the other party did not show any insufficient logistics supply.
Wang Wen had a little contact with the vanguard troops of the Great Soviet Kingdom yesterday and found that the combat effectiveness of the opponent's troops was very strong. They had no cavalry, all of them were infantry, but they all held long spears and were very good at throwing. Each of them had five or six spears on their bodies. When they first started fighting, the spears thrown by the opponent had caused a lot of casualties to Wang Wen's rangers. They were once forced back several miles away by them, but when the heavy armored cavalry appeared, they pressed them down again. It is worth mentioning that they were all wearing a kind of vine armor, which seemed light, but their defense ability was no less than that of the steel armor of Li Ming's troops. If the distance was a little farther, the rangers' crossbow arrows could not even cause a fatal blow to them. Now, the army of both sides was meeting in the territory of Nanzhou.
What bothered Li Ming was that the terrain of Nanzhou was close to that of Nandian Prefecture, where there were few plains, many swamps, and low bushes were everywhere, which was very unfavorable to the actions of the large army, especially the heavy armored cavalry units. Under that terrain, the battle method of heavy armored cavalry charging in groups was simply not feasible. Based on this, Wang Wen did not dare to act rashly, but instead set up a camp on the spot, preparing to find a more appropriate way to break the enemy.
"Lord, Marshal Zhang Meng and the others sent a telegram saying that it was not too far from me, and they would probably arrive this morning." Yi Yi quietly appeared behind Li Ming and reported to him.
He turned to look at Yi Yi under the dim light and found that he was also tired. Li Ming knew that Yi Yi was actually more laborious than himself. In addition to being ready to obey Li Ming's call at any time, he also had to accept all reports from various departments such as intelligence and military, administrative, etc. at any time, and then summarized and selected useful reports to Li Ming. In fact, he had actually become Li Ming's confidential secretary at this time. It seems that it is necessary to reduce the burden to him.
"I understand. When they arrive, they ask them to come to see me directly. In addition, you select ten flexible people from the guards and form a secretariat. Let them follow you for a while, then divide the labor and let them be in charge of information from different departments, so that you can be a little easier."
Yi Yi's mouth twitched, and crystal tears appeared in his eyes under the torch. He paused for a moment, bowed his head and bowed to Li Ming, and said only one sentence: "Affect the order." He hurried down.
Looking back, Li Ming tightened the cloak on his shoulders and looked at the sky without stars. He felt that the time of the days had passed very slowly. In just half a month, he felt that it seemed that a year had passed, and there were too many things that happened.
The arrival of Zhang Meng and Yuchi Xiong made him feel a little comforted. Yuchi Xiong fought with the troops of the Southern Dian Prefecture for many years and should be very familiar with them. If he asked him to rush to help Wang Wen, he would bring great chances of victory to the battle in the south. Now, Li Ming is just talking about Nanguo City, and he doesn't have the energy to direct command of Wang Wen. At present, he only hopes that he can stick to the arrival of Yuchi Xiong.
"Your Majesty, you have been standing here for a long time. Go in. It's very cold and I can't afford to take responsibility for it because of the freezing disease." Xiao Fugui has been following Li Ming from afar. Now seeing Li Ming tighten his cloak involuntarily, he hurried forward and persuaded him.
Li Ming nodded slightly, followed Xiao Fugui into the tent, and made it by the brazier inside to bake his hands that were numb from frozen. He said to Xiao Fugui: "Look at what Yi Yi is doing. If you go to bed, don't disturb him. Just find me the person in charge of the intelligence department. If you are not asleep, let him come over."
In a short while, B hurriedly walked in, came to Li Ming, looking at him and waiting for the order.
"Send a message to Lin Shuang and Lin Fang, Yang Ping, telling them not to hide anymore. From the time they received the telegram, they immediately wiped out Princess Changle's men in the whole city, telling them that they would rather kill a few civilians by mistake than let any enemy go. Daytime is the time when their troops are most frequently active, so that they can solve the enemy as much as possible during the day. Lin Shuang and Yang Ping act alone, and Lin Fang's special teams act collectively, regardless of day and night, and constantly attack the enemy. They have few people and are highly flexible. If they act properly, there will be no big danger. Tell Lin Fang not to be stingy with bullets. Although the 500 bullets they carry each of them are used, if they are not enough, I will continue to send them there. Their purpose is only one, which is to kill the enemy as much as possible."
"Give power to the Nanguo City Medical God Cult branch to speed up the rebellion of the newly enlisted troops. It is necessary to mobilize the new recruits within two days and organize an armed force to resist Princess Changle in the city. I estimate that if Yang Ping and the others are efficient enough, the new recruits in Nanguo City will likely drive Princess Changle and the others out of Nanguo City in one fell swoop."
