Jianming Chaos

Chapter 300 Approaching the Imperial Capital

"..." Le Jin was speechless for a while, thinking to himself, "Isn't he just a lieutenant general of the White Tigers, who knows a little magic, so what right do you have to be arrogant here? I heard that when the prime minister was conquering the south, you guys went ahead of schedule." Withdrew the troops on a large scale, and now they are bossing me around?"

For the sake of the overall situation, he didn't think about internal strife, so he said: "Yes, General Howling Tiger, we have been holding on to Luoyang for several days, but we still haven't been able to force the enemy back. Ten miles outside the city is the Xiliang army led by Ma Chao. There is also an alien army of undead, and it is expected to attack the city again tomorrow morning."

"Where is Master Cao Chun?" Screaming Tiger looked around and found a strong aura nearby. Before Le Jin could reply, he rushed over, but was stopped by soldiers.

"Please stop, general! General Cao is casting a spell, please don't disturb me." The soldier said.

The Screaming Tiger saw that Cao Chun, who was "governed by the stars", was concentrating on casting spells, so he returned to Le Jin and asked, "General Le, is the situation optimistic? General Tianfeng said that the situation in Luoyang is urgent, so he sent me urgently." Come for reinforcements."

Le Jin was taken aback, and said, "When did the general know about this? From Xudu to Luoyang, at least it will take two days. General Cao's physical strength is only two days ago. Could it be that General Tianfeng Do you have the ability to predict?"

"This...you don't need to worry about it. The style of our White Tiger Team has always been vigorous and decisive. It didn't take half a day from getting the news to coming here." Screaming Tiger didn't want to tell the other party too much.

"General Cao's stamina is not enough now. I guess he can only survive tonight at most, or...it will be hard to say in the middle of the night." Le Jin didn't care if the other party was bragging, and told the truth first.

"Did General Cao cast mana by absorbing the essence of moonlight?" Howling Tiger raised his eyes to the moon and asked.

"Yes, the more moonlight there is, the stronger the mana will be; of course, your own physical strength will also be affected. General Cao has been casting spells for days and nights, and he is already exhausted. Now that the two sides are at a stalemate, it depends on who can't hold on first. According to the spies , the enemy’s food stores can only last for two days at most.” Le Jin reflected the truth.

"Two days, I guess I can't wait." Screaming Tiger could clearly feel that the surrounding magnetic field was getting weaker, and said, "Could it be that the only way to defend against the enemy is to rely on Master Cao's spells?"

"Because the undead army can fly, and its fighting power is extremely strong, painless, and extremely difficult to deal with. They broke through Tongguan and Hangu Pass in succession, almost effortlessly. Although we can fight in the daytime war, the overall advantage is obvious It's the enemy. If it weren't for the lessons learned from the past and General Cao's spells, Luoyang would have already fallen into the enemy's hands." Le Jin shook his head helplessly.

"A mere Xiliang army, plus some mobs from foreign countries, what is there to fear! Wait for me to go out of the city and destroy them!" Kuang Xiaohu was so angry that he was ready to enter the enemy's formation alone.

"Wait a minute, general!" Le Jin stopped him and said, "The enemy army is too powerful to be dealt with by one person alone; besides, it's getting late and laying in an ambush in Yizhong, the general doesn't need to be brave."

"I'm here to help in the battle, how dare you talk about being brave!" The Screaming Tiger let go of his hand, and the spirit of eagerness for quick success and quick profit has overflowed his body with the fighting spirit, radiated into the air, and merged with the surrounding magnetic field.

Le Jin wished he could swallow him alive, but he still held back his anger and said, "I'm telling you kindly, please think twice, general."

"Take me to the tower to have a look." Screaming Tiger said in a commanding tone.

"Which onion are you? How dare you order me to do something? After all, I am also General Zhechong personally appointed by the prime minister. When will it be your turn to act wild?" Le Jin dared not speak out because of the overall situation, and only greeted him in his heart. Eighteen generations later, the other party's ancestor said, "No problem, I will take the general up."

Full of anger, Le Jin led the Howling Tiger to the tower.

The Screaming Tiger raised his eyes and saw the enemy camp ten miles away, arranged in the jungle along the side of the mountain, densely packed with torches, embellishing the entire camp into a golden galaxy, or a golden python hovering over the mountain pass.

"Strange, the other party is not in a hurry, and there is no sign of attacking or retreating at all. What's going on?" Screaming Tiger was puzzled based on what he saw with his naked eyes.

"Maybe they are using tricks to make our army relax. I predict that there will be night raids tonight." Le Jin concluded based on experience.

"If there is a night attack, there must be torches to lead the way. Now that there are no torches, why is there a night attack?" Kuang Xiaohu didn't believe it.

"No, it was the group of undead skeletons who attacked at night last time. They can fly and have night vision capabilities, but they can sneak into the city without sound. Fortunately, they were blocked by General Cao's magic barrier." Le Jin said happily.

"Since there are barriers, how dare they repeat the old tactics?" Screaming Tiger disagreed, "There is no night attack tonight. We only need to fight the defensive battle tomorrow morning, and this war will be over."

"No, all the cities to the west of Hongnong have fallen. They have divided their troops and stationed in each city. Sooner or later, they will gather their forces and make a comeback. We must take advantage of the victory to abolish their main force so that they cannot connect head to tail, so that the war can truly end. " Le Jin made a suggestion.

The Screaming Tiger felt unwilling, thinking that he had the highest right to speak, and said, "Okay, according to what I said, just do a good job of defending. As for the night attack, I will go there to stop them."

As soon as the words fell, there was commotion outside the city, shouts were everywhere, and a group of soldiers began to attack the city.

"You came right after you finished speaking? You didn't even bring a torch, and you subdued them! Beat me hard!" the Howling Tiger ordered.

"What is this guy ordering blindly? There is no need to fight at all, they can't get in!" Le Jin thought helplessly, "Is Tianfeng sending him here to disrupt the situation?"

Thinking of this, Le Jin suddenly thought of something: "If you really want to help defend the city, why did Tianfeng only send one person? And, how did he get here? When Luoyang started the war, the White Tigers couldn't possibly get any news!"

The soldiers outside the city continued to build momentum, as if they wanted to attract the enemy's firepower.Howling Tiger ordered the soldiers to shoot back with random arrows.

"There aren't many people, it doesn't look like a massive attack." Le Jin was condescending, probably able to count the number of enemy soldiers.

The Screaming Tiger realized that it was time to show his bravery, so he flew out from the city wall, preparing to show off his magical power in front of everyone.

The moment he passed through the barrier, the grudge on his body had a repulsive reaction with the barrier, causing the power of the barrier to be neutralized.In less than a while, the enchantment completely disappeared.

Aulus, who was ambushing outside the city, saw that the time was ripe, and ordered all the soldiers to attack.All of a sudden, densely packed skeleton flying people appeared in the sky, and the ghostly aura filled the sky.

Since the undead have no human breath, it is too late for the defenders on the tower to discover the enemy's situation.The one-armed general Aulus led his men to make a successful surprise attack, and within a short while the entire tower was blown up.

Although Le Jin is powerful, he can't stand alone; and with the lack of light at night, he can't defeat a hundred with one.

Fortunately, the reinforcements rushed to the tower in time and started a fight with the undead.Bone and blood splattered on the entire city tower.

Although Aulus has only one arm bone left, he is still unstoppable.After he chopped down dozens of defenders with a knife, he ran into Le Jin.The two sides fought fiercely and refused to give in to each other.

The Screaming Tiger flew out of the city, trying to pursue the enemy, but found that the enemy had long since disappeared.

While he was wondering, he looked back, good guy, a group of "giant locusts" were rushing up the tower under the cover of night.The sounds of fighting and screams intertwined, making it very lively.

"Isn't there an enchantment protection? What's going on? It won't work as soon as I come out?" Screaming Tiger didn't have time to think, and was about to return to defense, only to see ambushes everywhere, and the torches lit up immediately.

Since it was at night, it was inconvenient for the Liangzhou army to ride horses and fight on foot.The ambush was divided into two parts, one part surrounded the Screaming Tiger; the other part swarmed towards the city gate.

"Oops, I fell for it!" The Screaming Tiger was completely slapped in the face, it seemed that the enemy army had already prepared for a night attack.He tried to go back to defend, but was stuck in place.

The ambush soldiers released several iron hooks, tightly entangled the enemy from all directions.

The Screaming Tiger was startled, but he didn't expect to become the turtle in the urn all of a sudden.He struggled desperately, but the iron hook was tightly entangled, no matter how advanced his martial arts were, it would not be easy to break free in a short while.

"Damn it, if it wasn't at night... You underestimated me, you barbarians!" The Howling Tiger's magic was difficult to use at this moment, so he could only break the iron chain by raising his inner energy.

"Fire the arrow!" Following the command, the crossbowmen pulled their strings one after another.

"It's not that easy to kill me! Panben Curse!" Screaming Tiger chanted the spell, turning the roots of the underground trees into ghost hands, and they drilled out of the ground one after another, forming an airtight cage of trees and vines, blocking the Arrow rain.

"Fire and thunder arrows!" Another order was issued, and several fire and thunder arrows hit and ignited the tree and vine cage like mad cows.

The Screaming Tiger was instantly trapped in the Hell of Fire.He used the spell again to retract the ghost hand into the ground.This time it was even worse, the God of Vulcan Zhu Rong had an unprecedented close contact with him.

"No...impossible, I am Tiger King, how could it be like this..." Howling Tiger wanted to call for help, but couldn't, watching helplessly as his body was swallowed up by Vulcan.

"The Xiliang army...is really cunning...I don't accept it..." Screaming Tiger let out his last sigh before the end of his life.

Ma Chao, who was watching the battle nearby, wanted to make a move. Seeing that the enemy was engulfed in flames, he ordered loudly: "Listen up, success or failure depends on one move. Let's work together to take Luoyang! Send a signal flare and notify the base camp to dispatch the iron cavalry!"

The signal bomb full of passion soared into the sky, lighting up the entire night sky.Under the leadership of the commander-in-chief, all the troops rushed to the gate of the city like a tide.The city gates have been opened by the Roman army, and the drawbridge is slowly being lowered.

Le Jin wanted to rush down the tower to prevent the enemy from opening the gate, but he was entangled by Aulus and couldn't escape.Olus fought to a draw with one arm.

"Go away, dead skull! This is the territory of the big man, go back to the tomb of Rome!" Le Jin was completely enraged, and he used the "horse splitting knife technique" to seal the world with one blow and kill Aulus Split into several sections.

Skeleton soldiers stepped forward to besiege.Le Jin didn't dare to love to fight, so he fought his way out and rushed down the tower. Unfortunately, it was too late, and all the defenders had died.Skeleton soldiers opened the city gate and lowered the drawbridge.

Seeing the flames rising into the sky and the shouts shaking the ground outside the city, Le Jin knew that Luoyang could not hold on, so he gritted his teeth and led the remaining troops to retreat.After the rest of the people in the city learned that the city gate had been lost, they scattered and fled in all directions, panicking.

Since the junction interface was broken, Cao Chun couldn't hold it anymore, and fell to the ground vomiting blood.Excessive casting made his physical strength severely overdrawn, his soul was damaged, and even a pinch of silver threads appeared on his head.He fled the city on the other side, escorted by soldiers.Le Jin had ordered that Cao Chun must be protected with all his strength, no matter whether Luoyang fell or not.

With the assistance of the Roman army, the Xiliang army finally captured Luoyang, ended the five-day offensive and defensive battle, and approached the imperial capital step by step.Almost everyone didn't know that the most direct reason for Luoyang's fall was the carelessness and miscalculation of the Screaming Tiger.The biggest mistake of the defenders was that they relied too much on Cao Chun's spells and did not fully prepare for the night attack; Ma Chao not only used some details to confuse the enemy, but also knew how to deploy in advance and cooperate with friendly forces.This confirms a saying of later generations: opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.

Zhiming used black hole magic to bring Xuechan to Mount Taihua, where he met Zuo Ci and Yang Ji.

Yang Ji was quite surprised when he saw Zhiming, but he didn't have time to talk about wine; the only purpose of Zhiming's trip was to cure Xuechan through the hands of Zuo Ci.

Zuo Ci didn't know medical skills, but he could feel that the saliva in Xuechan's brain was slowly growing, not only squeezing the blood vessels and cranial nerves, but also affecting vision and balance in severe cases, and even endangering his life.

"I'm sorry, I'm not a doctor, so I can't do anything." Zuo Ci shook his head regretfully, "I believe ordinary doctors can't cure this disease."

"Master Zuo Ci, please think of a way, I finally rescued her!" Zhiming begged.

Zuo Ci thought for a while and said, "Although this old man can't save her, there is one person who might be able to."

"Who?" Zhiming and Yang Jiqi asked.

"Hua Tuo, the genius doctor. This old man has a certain fate with him, so you can invite him here." Zuo Ci said with Nian Xu.

"Then please invite Master to invite him as soon as possible, Xuechan can't wait!" Zhiming will not let go of any chance.

"Don't worry, this old man will leave immediately." Zuo Ci just finished speaking, the soul body left the body and flew into the sky.

"Xuechan, you must be fine! I swear I will save you!" Zhiming said to Xuechan who was almost unconscious.He had made promises to her several times, and now this was the last time.

Xudu, Imperial City, East Hall of Weiyang Palace.

Emperor Xian was having a drink with his two concubines when suddenly a waiter from the Yellow Gate came to report: "Your Majesty, Sima Yi, the Literary Officer of the Prime Minister's Mansion, is asking to see you."

"Biography." The half-drunk Emperor Xian didn't even bother to raise his hand, and replied lazily.

A few seconds later, Sima Yi entered the hall, saw Emperor Xian who was hugging left and right, and saluted: "My minister Sima Yi sees the emperor."

Emperor Xian moved his hands away from his concubine, and was about to ask something, when he suddenly thought of something, he said to his concubine with a smile: "You guys avoid it for a while, and I'll have a drink with you after I finish talking."

The two concubines looked at each other, got up and left reluctantly.

"What's the matter, Sima Yi, you didn't come here specially to interrupt Zhen Yaxing, did you?" Emperor Xian waved his dragon sleeves, got up and asked coldly.

"I am stupid, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me! I have come here to report to Your Majesty that the 'goods' have arrived." Sima Yi said mysteriously. (end of part three)
