After listening to the advice, I rebelled and became an emperor of all ages

Chapter 260: The Rebel Army's Raid, Lin Zhongyun's Scheme

Outside Yandang City.

As the night deepened, the cold wind became more biting, cutting on the face like a knife, making people shiver.

Chagan Uli stood on the city wall, staring intently at the night scene in front of him, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

However, he thought about it and realized that continuing like this was not a solution.

Calculating the time, he hasn't had a good night's sleep for two days. If he continues like this, he will definitely not be able to hold on.

If the rebels launched an attack at that time and he was listless and exhausted, he would be losing the greater for the smaller.

Thinking of this, he called the general guarding the city and ordered: "Especially at this time, we must not take it lightly. If anything happens, notify me immediately."

"Yes, Khan!"

The deputy general saw all of this, and he also knew that Chagan Uli was at the end of his strength and exhausted, and he had to rest.

"Ok!"

Chagan Uli nodded with satisfaction, and after taking one last look at the deep night where there was no movement, he walked down the city wall to rest.

He returned to the tent, took off his heavy armor, lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and tried to relax.

As soon as he lay down on the bed, he was immediately hit by sleepiness. He felt that he had never been so tired.

However, not long after he closed his eyes, he heard a terrifying roar of killing, as if the whole world was shaking.

"what happened?"

Chagan Uli, who had finally fallen asleep, was instantly awakened by the sound of the charge, his face full of shock and anger.

He suppressed his shock and anger. The sound of the rebels charging echoed in his ears. Outside, the place was already in chaos.

At this time, the guards waiting outside came in in a panic, "Khan, it's the rebels, the rebels suddenly launched an attack."

Hearing this, Chagan Wuli's heart suddenly tightened and he cursed inwardly: "Damn it, I knew that Lin Zhongyun had such intentions."

His face became extremely gloomy, and he didn't even have time to put on his armor. He rushed out of the tent regardless of any obstruction and went straight to the top of the city wall.

At this time, the entire Yandang City was in chaos, and everyone was on the move because of the sudden attack by the rebels.

When he climbed up to the top of the city wall panting, the scene that came into his eyes made him gasp and his face turned ashen.

In the dim night, the rebel army rushed towards the city wall like a tide, the shouts of killing shook the earth, and the flames illuminated half the sky red.

"Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!"

Sharp shouts continued to be heard from the top of the city wall, and the next moment, a rain of arrows shot towards the rebel army.

Instantly, a miserable wailing sound came from below.

"What's going on? How many people are there in the rebel army this time?" Chagan Wuli roared, his voice full of endless anger and anxiety. He grabbed a deputy general and asked anxiously, "Why did the enemy suddenly launch an attack?"

The deputy general was sweating and pale. "Sir, the rebels suddenly attacked from all directions. They are coming fiercely, but please rest assured, we are fully prepared. The rebels will not attack us for a while."

“Even so, we can’t take it lightly.”

Chagan Wuli's anger subsided a little after hearing this, and he immediately gave a decisive order to his deputy general: "Pass the order down, everyone immediately enter combat status! Strengthen the defense of the city wall, and never let the enemy break through!"

The deputy general responded immediately and quickly conveyed the order. The defending soldiers stepped up their defenses and the archers continued to shoot arrows, trying to stop the attack of the rebels.

At this moment, Lin Zhongyun stood on a high place, staring at the battlefield in the distance with a sharp gaze.

Under the cover of night, the wind was cold, the shouts and cries of killing rose and fell on the battlefield, and the flashes of swords and sabers intertwined into a bloody picture. However, his heart was unusually calm, as if everything was under his control.

Seeing that the Northern Barbarian Army on the tower was increasing in number, Lin Zhongyun decisively ordered: "Order everyone to retreat immediately."

The soldiers were all shocked when they heard the order. They were confused and puzzled. They were just in the fierce battle, why did they suddenly have to retreat?
A deputy general couldn't help but step forward and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Sir, if we retreat now, won't we give up our previous efforts in vain?"

"Yes, Your Highness, why do you do this?"

At this moment, everyone looked at Lin Zhongyun in surprise, not understanding why he did this.

Lin Zhongyun looked calm, put his hands behind his back, and said calmly: "This is an order, execute it immediately."

Although the deputy general was puzzled, seeing Lin Zhongyun's firm attitude, he had to nod and quickly convey the order to retreat.

Although the soldiers were confused, they did not dare to disobey the military order and began to retreat in an orderly manner.

Lin Zhongyun stood on a high place, watching the soldiers retreat, with a hint of coldness on his face.

This attack was just a test on his part.

From this attack, it can be seen that the Northern Barbarian Army was fully prepared both in terms of actual combat readiness and fighting spirit.

In this dark night, the ability to make such a response is enough to show Chagan Uli's determination to defend the city.

If they chose to attack forcefully at this time, they would definitely win in the end, but the price of victory would be extremely heavy.

In that case, it would be extremely unprofitable.

What’s more important is that until now, the cavalry under Chagan Uli has not been dispatched. That cavalry is the Northern Barbarians’ final killing weapon.

If all the troops were used up at this time, the situation afterwards would be uncertain.

Although the attack did not last long, they retreated quickly, which really hurt everyone's morale.

However, they also took this opportunity to continuously consume the combat power of the Northern Barbarians. His goal had been achieved, and it was time to retreat.

The night grew darker, and Lin Zhongyun estimated the time in his mind. Seeing that there were more and more Northern Barbarian soldiers on the city wall, he knew that his test was enough.

"Everyone, retreat quickly and don't fight!" Lin Zhongyun ordered again, with endless majesty in his voice.

The soldiers retreated quickly. Although they were confused, no one dared to disobey the order. Lin Zhongyun watched them go away, with a hint of coldness and determination in his eyes.

"The Northern Barbarian Army is indeed well prepared." Lin Zhongyun thought to himself, "However, this test also allowed me to see their true colors."

He took a deep breath, his eyes calm and sharp, turned and left the high place, already having a plan for the next step in his mind.

Just as he returned to the tent, Lin Zhongyun received a pigeon letter from Li Zhongwu. He unfolded the letter and quickly scanned the words on it, frowning slightly. "Fire Horse Charge, this is not bad!" Looking at the situation in the letter, Lin Zhongyun's mouth raised a hint of coldness.

Although their offensive suffered a severe blow in Luoye City, they also discovered the actions of the Northern Barbarian Army Advisor at the same time, which cannot be considered a complete failure.

This news finally made Lin Zhongyun feel relieved. Before he heard any news about the mysterious Northern Barbarian Advisor, he was still a little worried, fearing that the other party had some conspiracy.

However, now that he knew the exact location of the Northern Barbarian Military Advisor, his heart was no longer as confused as before.

"In any case, now that I know where he appears, I have a direction to guard against." Lin Zhongyun thought to himself, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

However, having said that, the actions of the Northern Barbarian Military Advisor were beyond his expectations, leaving him somewhat puzzled.

Logically speaking, with Chagan Wuli in Yandang City, it is the last line of defense for the Northern Barbarians. In this case, he should be stationed in Yandang City.

But at this time he chose to run to the not-so-important city of Luoye. Could it be that in his heart, the Khan Chagan Uli was really not that important?
Lin Zhongyun fell into deep thought, tapping his fingers lightly on the table. He knew that the Northern Barbarian Military Advisor was no ordinary person, and every move of the other party might have hidden meanings.

"Is Li Zhongwu's judgment correct? What is the real intention of the Northern Barbarian Military Advisor?" Lin Zhongyun was full of doubts, but he knew that now was not the time to hesitate.

He picked up a pen and quickly wrote a reply, which was concise and clear: "Go ahead and do it, but be careful."

Although the appearance of the Northern Barbarian Military Advisor surprised him, after careful consideration, he decided that their main force should be concentrated in Yandang City.

However, judging from the situation just now, it will not be possible to take over Yandang City in a short time. Instead of fighting to the death here, it is better to tear open a hole in Luoye City.

As for the Northern Barbarian Military Advisor, in his opinion, he was also a spent force. After all, in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy was futile.

The night grows darker and the wind grows colder.

After sealing the letter, he tied it to the leg of a pigeon and watched it fly into the night sky.

He stood outside the big tent, staring at the darkness in the distance, silently thinking about his next plan.

However, at this moment, Chagan Uli on the opposite side frowned, his face full of surprise and disbelief.

"They retreated?" Chagan Uli said with a smirk as he watched the firelight gradually disappear into the darkness.

His pupils widened, and he stared at the darkness for a long time, only coming to his senses after he was sure that the rebels no longer had the momentum to attack.

Originally, he had prepared for a tough battle and had mobilized all the people in the city to meet the enemy, but he did not expect such a hasty situation.

The deputy general beside him was also full of doubts. He nodded and said, "Khan, yes, the rebels seem to have retreated!"

Hearing the deputy general's words, Chagan Uli also breathed a sigh of relief and his body relaxed a little.

However, before he could relax for a few moments, a question suddenly popped up in his mind, making him doubtful and worried again.

"This is impossible. Lin Zhongyun never plays by the rules. Could it be that he is afraid?" He frowned and pondered everything in his heart.

In his mind, Lin Zhongyun was so cunning and did not play by the rules. There must be a conspiracy behind such a retreat.

Lin Zhongyun is such a lawless person, how could he withdraw his troops just because of fear? There must be a huge conspiracy behind this.

"There must be a huge conspiracy behind this!"

He kept murmuring these words, and the contrast between Lin Zhongyun's behavior before and after made him more certain of what he was thinking.

"No, we must not take it lightly."

A trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Order everyone to remain highly alert and be ready for battle at any time."

The deputy general immediately took the order and passed on Chagan Uli's order.

The Northern Barbarian Army became nervous again, and a murderous atmosphere filled the city walls. The soldiers held their weapons, their eyes sharp, ready to respond to any possible surprise attack.

Just like that, as time passed slowly and night was about to dawn, the rebels still showed no signs of attacking.

Chagan Uli stood on the city wall, his eyes still fixed on the darkness in the distance.

At this time, the deputy general on the side could no longer hold on and yawned and said, "Khan, now that it is daylight, I don't think the rebels will launch an attack again."

"Yes, the soldiers haven't slept for several hours. Let them take a break!" Another deputy general said in agreement.

Chagan Uli nodded when he heard this, but even he couldn't help feeling tired and his eyes were extremely dry.

But he still felt a little uneasy in his heart. Could it be that Lin Zhongyun's attack at night was just for fun?

However, when he looked around, he found that the soldiers on duty had tired eyes, and even the weapons in their hands were limp and had no strength.

There is no doubt that even an iron man would not be able to endure the tension of the night.

Not to mention, it was early morning, when people were most sleepy, and they were even sleepier. Even if they were forced to stay here, they would not be able to exert any fighting power at all.

Thinking of this, he nodded helplessly and agreed to the request for rest, but still ordered: "Everyone take turns to rest, but at the same time strengthen the vigilance to prevent sudden attacks by the rebels."

After hearing the order, the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and quickly found a place to rest.

On the city wall, the tired soldiers closed their eyes and tried their best to recover their strength.

"Lin Zhongyun, what are you planning?" Chagan Wuli thought silently in his heart, frowning. Although the rebels showed no signs of attacking, he always felt that things were not that simple.

As the night gradually faded, the sky turned pale and the light of dawn slowly spread over the earth.

Chagan Uli remained highly vigilant, watching all the movements in the distance.

Suddenly, a noisy sound came from afar, breaking the silence before dawn.

Chagan Uli had been on the battlefield for a long time, so he could recognize the shouts of killing during a charge.

This made him feel nervous, and he quickly turned around and shouted to the deputy general beside him: "Everyone, be alert immediately and prepare to meet the enemy!"

As expected, just as he finished speaking, a dark shadow appeared on the distant horizon, and the flag of the rebels could be vaguely seen.

The soldiers quickly woke up from their drowsiness, picked up their weapons and prepared for battle.

A solemn and murderous atmosphere filled the city wall again. Everyone dragged their tired bodies and kept a close eye on the charging rebel army.

Chagan Wuli looked at the waves of rebels coming from under the city, frowning and cursing in his heart: "Lin Zhongyun, what on earth are you planning?" (End of this chapter)
