low-key is king

Chapter 164

Lincheng, inside the city!
During this period of time, people in Lincheng were in panic, and almost everyone could feel the tension of the coming storm.

Because they all know that the first stumbling block for the army starting from Watanabe City is probably Lin City, which has an extremely important strategic position.

That is the King of Zhendong who has fought all over Xuanyang Kingdom, and even the invincible opponents in the surrounding countries!
Although the Zhendong Palace has been in decline for more than a year, but just over a year can not make everyone forget the former glory of the Zhendong King.

Some interested people also found out that the Chinese army led by King Zhendong this time has a total of 4 people.

In Lincheng, there are only 2 people guarding it. With the strength of the city wall, can it really stop the [-] troops outside the city?

The east gate, above the city wall!
A middle-aged man whose whole body was covered with blue armor had a gleam of light in his eyes. His eyes looked to the west of the city, and he seemed to be able to see the densely packed tent.

Lincheng is in charge of the military city, and Zhang Lin, the green armored general, is the supreme commander of Lincheng. Under such a tense situation, his every move will determine the fate of the entire Lincheng.

It is worth mentioning that Zhang Lin is a direct descendant of the Yan family, not a titan who fought with King Zhendong in the past, and his cultivation as a first-time five-level martial artist is exactly the bargaining chip for him to be alone in Lincheng.

The result of the battle at Watanabe Castle had naturally spread to Lin City long ago, but due to Zhang Lin's strict order, it did not spread to the ears of the low-level soldiers and civilians, and only a few of his confidants knew about it.

In this way, the soldiers in the city only knew that King Zhendong rebelled and led the army to attack the forest city. Their only goal was to defend the city to the death.

"General, Lu Mingyang didn't attack the city directly, is there some kind of conspiracy?"

The lieutenant next to him, Zhang Ding, was Zhang Lin's nephew and had been brought up by his side all the time. At this moment, he suddenly opened his mouth, and it seemed that he had also seen the King of Zhendong's army far away from the east gate.

"Lu Mingyang is cautious in using troops. Even if he was the king of a hundred battles, it is impossible for him to break through the forest city with 4 defenders with [-] troops. It is impossible for him not to know this!"

In the era when King Zhendong was at the height of his power, Zhang Lin was just a pawn in the army, but his real fortune came after the fall of King Zhendong's mansion.

Therefore, although Zhang Lin would not underestimate Zhendong King Lu Mingyang, he did not respect him too much. Now that he is a direct descendant of the Yan clan, it is natural that he should put the interests of the Yan clan first.

Even Zhang Lin knew that if King Zhendong won, he might die without a place to bury him.

But if the Yan family wins, his status will definitely rise, so how to make a choice is actually not difficult at all.

Zhang Lin has absolute confidence. The high walls of Lincheng City are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if the opponent wants to attack the top of the city, they will have to pay a huge price.

Zhendong Prince's Mansion only has twice as many troops as Lin City. Zhang Lin would still be a little apprehensive if he were to fight outside, but if he guards the city, he thinks that it is absolutely impossible for him to be captured by the opponent.

"As long as my Lincheng army's morale is available, I can kill them with energy!"

This is Zhang Lin's absolute confidence. He has been running Lincheng for many years, and some of the important positions are his confidantes. He asked himself that these people would never betray, so the entire Lincheng is monolithic.

"Hey, if the general wins against Zhendong King Lu Mingyang this time, his name will definitely last forever!"

Zhang Ding next to him would naturally not let go of this opportunity to flatter, but what he said was not a lie.

After all, the prestige of King Zhendong back then spread throughout the surrounding countries, even the emperor of the Daxuan Dynasty had heard of it.

"Ha ha!"

Zhang Lin was also a little complacent, but immediately his expression changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Hurry up and inspect the various sects, Lu Mingyang is the enemy, we must be on guard against his schemes!"

It has to be said that this General Zhang Lin is still very cautious in using troops. Although he controls many middle-level generals, the entire Lin City is not all his confidantes after all, and he must ensure that everything is safe.

"Yes!"

woohoo hoo...

Just as Zhang Ding bowed to accept the order and was about to go down the city, he suddenly heard a burst of wind in his ears, and he turned his head subconsciously.

At the same time, Zhang Lin's eyes were also attracted by the sound of the breaking wind. When he turned his head to look, there was a hint of doubt in his eyes, and a hint of gloom.

"what is that?"

Not only the two uncles and nephews of the Zhang family, but also many soldiers guarding on the east gate wall, at this moment also saw the strange movement in the sky outside the east gate city, and they all expressed their doubts.

I saw a lot of weird things suddenly appeared in the sky outside the east gate of Lin City. They looked like birds, but they were different from ordinary birds.

"It's not a real bird, but a wooden kite made by a mechanism engineer?"

After all, Zhang Lin is a martial artist who has just entered the fifth realm, and his eyesight is far from comparable to others. At this moment, he looked at the things flying from outside the city with a gloomy face, and he already had a guess in his heart.

The so-called organ master is naturally one of the special professions among writers, but relatively speaking, it is not so popular compared with professions such as alchemist, talisman master, and military master.

To some extent, there are some similarities between mechanism division and array division, because both need to spend a lot of time to prepare.

Most of the time, the function of the mechanism master is reflected in the defense of the family sect, or it is the design of some mausoleum mechanisms, once formed, it will be extremely powerful.

According to legends circulating in the Xuanyang Kingdom, there was once a strong man with a golden core who was still in the Nascent Soul Realm, who had a strange and powerful mechanism technique.

It was an extremely famous mausoleum, which was said to be the place of a master thousands of years ago, so it naturally attracted countless warriors or monks from the lower five realms to flock to it.

It's a pity that every martial artist or monk who wanted to enter the mausoleum died under the powerful mechanism.

According to the description of a five-realm martial artist who was outside the mausoleum, he saw with his own eyes that his companion was shot into a hornet's nest by countless crossbows when he just found the location of the mausoleum, and that was only the outermost part of the mausoleum.

Mechanism masters are naturally not the mainstream in the mainland, but some strange skills and tricks can turn waste into treasure in their hands. Many novelty and weird things are almost all made by mechanism masters.

Of course, most of these things are not very lethal, and the things made by the mechanics are more playthings.

In the streets and alleys of Xuanyang Kingdom, you can see things made by low-level mechanism masters everywhere, and not many people pay attention to them on weekdays.

But as a martial artist who has just entered the fifth realm, when Zhang Lin saw those wooden kite-like things flying towards him, he didn't dare to treat them as children's playthings, but his expression was solemn.

Things like wooden kites are not uncommon in Xuanyang Country, but those wooden kites played by urchins can only fly up to one or two feet, and the time will not be too long, and they will fall with exhaustion.

However, the countless wooden kites in Zhang Lin's eyes at this moment flew out from the army of Zhendong King below. Not only did they fly extremely high, but after flying for so long, there was no tendency to fall at all.

This is obviously not a plaything made by a first- and second-rank Chance Master, but a very high-grade wooden kite.

Seeing those wooden kites that were about to fly over the top of the city and towards the inside of the city, a flash of light flashed in Zhang Lin's mind, and he immediately shouted: "Shoot it down!"

Whoosh...

The archers on the city wall were already ready to go. After receiving the order, they bent their bows and set their arrows one by one. Suddenly, arrows rained down and shot towards the wooden kites angrily.

Tuk Tuk Tuk…

But what surprised Zhang Lin was that under such a rain of arrows, some of the wooden kites dodged, while the other wooden kites were shot, but did not fall directly, and were still flying towards the city. Come.

"I'm afraid it is at least a third-rank or even a fourth-rank wooden kite!"

Seeing this, Zhang Lin's heart sank, but he didn't hesitate too much, and grabbed a bow directly from the side. The strength of a five-level martial artist is naturally not comparable to those low-level soldiers.

puff!
Zhang Lin's arrow was very powerful, and amidst the cheers of all the soldiers, he directly shot one of the wooden kites right through it, and Zhang Ding beside him even applauded loudly.

But at the next moment, Zhang Ding saw his uncle's sharp gaze, which made him dare not do anything again. In fact, when he shot this wooden kite, there were hundreds of wooden kites in the sky. Woolen cloth.

woohoo hoo...

Just when Zhang Lin stepped forward and picked up the wooden kite that fell on the city wall, countless wooden kites roared past and flew into the city of Lincheng.

Whoa, whoa, whoa...

A moment later, the claws under those wooden kites suddenly opened, and it seemed as if a rain of paper rained from the sky. It turned out that the claws of those wooden kites were holding stacks of paper.

All of a sudden, the entire Lincheng paper fell like rain, and the stacks of papers scattered in the air, followed by the breeze and fell to the streets and alleys in the forest city, making Zhang Lin's face instantly ugly extreme.

At this moment, Zhang Lin was also holding a stack of papers in his hands, and his eyes had already withdrawn from the city, looking at the contents on the papers in his hands, his face was even more gloomy like ashes from the bottom of a pot.

"Shout against Yan's rebellious thieves!"

The first thing that caught Zhang Lin's eyes were these six big characters, and then he heard him murmur: "The Yan family has no way, has caused chaos in the court, imprisoned the monarch, coerced the monarch to order the world, turned black and white even more, and deceived the people with demonic words." ,..."

"Today, Mingyang of the Lu family, the king of Zhendong, is the royal family of the Lu family. He raised his troops from Dubian in order to eradicate the chaos. On the side of the Qing emperor, I hope that the people of Xuanyang can gain insight into the truth. They must not help the tyrant to do evil, and eventually they will never recover!"

Nearly a thousand words were eloquently written in the appeal against rebellion. After reading it, Zhang Lin's voice was filled with a hint of hostility. He naturally knew the power of this appeal against rebellion.

After reading the content of the call to action, Zhang Lin turned his eyes back to Lincheng again.

Looking at the papers constantly falling from the sky, he suddenly felt that his control over Lincheng might not be as perfect as before.
