Chapter 287: Counterattack

Lin Nan's tightly tied hair was already scattered, and there were a few drops of blood on his fair face, but it looked so poignant under the light of the fire. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe silver armor on his body had been completely dyed red, and the blood beads dripped down the nail leaves and fell to the ground, although the sound was faint, but everyone felt very clear. His eyes were deep and cold, as if he could do everything, and seemed to ignore everything, but everyone who looked at him did not consciously palpitate, and his soul seemed to tremble. However, there is a warm and bright smile on the corner of his mouth, looking down on the world like a Buddha and showing compassion for all beings.

The strong contrast between his eyes and smile made everyone feel unprecedented fear, making them have an urge to turn around and run, but their legs were a little weak, and they couldn't use any strength, so they could only widen their eyes and look at Lin Nan in horror.

"Kill!" Lin Nan didn't give the Turkic army much time to think, he just paused slightly, and the still sword flashed again, and at the same time his figure flickered, with Lin Nan's movements, the killing began again, bloody rain, screaming miserably, Lin Nan was like a meat grinder madly raging among the Turkic army, harvesting fresh lives.

When Lin Nan killed the golden armor Alan Zhebe, and rushed into the Turkic army like a tiger descending from the mountain, the outcome of the fierce battle of Xicheng was already doomed, even though the Turkic army tried its best and was not afraid of death, but because no one could stop Lin Nan, their defeat was irreversible.

"Bang!"

"Click!" When Lin Nan split the last Turkic soldier in half, the steel knife in his hand could no longer bear it, and it broke inch by inch, and the debris was scattered on the ground with the wind.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, it was the subordinates who were greedy and reckless to fall for Alain Jebe's treacherous schemes, resulting in heavy casualties among the brothers, and even more affecting many innocent people in the city, please punish me!" Luo Cheng, who was covered in blood, dragged his heavy legs, walked in front of Lin Nan with difficulty, and knelt on the ground with a shameful face, his voice was extremely hoarse.

Lin Nan stared at Luo Cheng quietly, his face was not happy or sad, now, in this wide area, there are only more than 100 people who can still stand, and except for Lin Nan himself, the rest of the people are extremely seriously injured, seeing that Lin Nan didn't speak for a long time, all the surviving Sui Jun's hearts couldn't help but sink, thinking that Lin Nan was angry because of Luo Cheng's command error, and knelt down and pleaded: "Your Majesty, it's really the Turks who are too treacherous and vicious, don't blame General Luo, I hope Your Majesty Mingjian!" ”

"Luo Cheng, get up, I don't blame you, get up!" Lin Nan let out a long breath, and the scorching breath left a long trail in the cold air, which did not disperse for a long time.

Luo Cheng looked up in amazement, looking at Lin Nan in confusion, Lin Nan smiled slightly, as if the spring water was thawing, and like a warm day, he bent down gently, held Luo Cheng's shoulders with both hands, helped him up, and said gently: "Luo Cheng, I didn't expect the Turkic army to be so frustrated, to put the safety of hundreds of thousands of people in the city at risk, this time you can care about the safety of the people, decisively order the rescue, I am very pleased." After a pause, Lin Nan turned his gaze to the south, and Luo Cheng also looked at it, at this time, there were only sporadic fires in Nancheng, and the fire had obviously been significantly controlled, and Tongzhou finally avoided the danger of being burned, Luo Cheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Compared with the pursuit of the Turkic army and a short-term victory, the lives of compatriots are self-important." Lin Nan put his hand on Luo Cheng's shoulder, and the thick true qi poured into his body, quickly repairing the latter's almost depleted body, Luo Cheng was shocked, and looked at Lin Nan in surprise, met by Lin Nan's appreciative eyes and a warm smile at the corner of his mouth, Luo Cheng's heart couldn't help but warm, and his pursed lips couldn't help but tighten.

Although Luo Cheng was covered in blood, it was mostly skin trauma, some blood loss was excessive, and his energy was too wasted, and under the repair of Lin Nan's vigorous true qi, the kung fu spirit of only a few breaths recovered a lot.

"Take your wounded brother down and rest, and I'll do the finishing touches." Lin Nan withdrew his palm and said gently. "Thank you, Your Majesty!" The emotion in Luo Cheng's eyes flashed, and he nodded heavily and walked to the side with the surviving Sui army.

……

"Zuo Khan, there is a fire in the direction of Tongzhou!" Tuli slowed down, looked at the direction of Tongzhou City, and said in a low voice, looking at the red half of the sky, Tuli was both surprised and heavy and tragic in his heart. Although the distance was too far, the specific situation of Tongzhou City was suddenly unknown, but from the amazing fire, he could guess that the battle in Tongzhou City must be very fierce, thinking of Alan Zhebe's fearless and resolute look, thinking of the danger that the 10,000 soldiers left behind would face, Tuli's heart couldn't help but heavily.

Tuli saw the fire in Tongzhou, Tuoba Totar naturally had a full view, the fire was thirty miles away, but thinking about the fire, Tuoba Totar's brows couldn't help frowning, "What happened in Tongzhou, how could such a fire ignite, I'm afraid that half of Tongzhou is in the sea of fire!" After being reminded by Tuoba Totoer, Tuli couldn't help but show surprise on his face, and then his face changed suddenly, his eyes were full of horror, and he whispered: "Could it be ......?"

"It's possible!" Even though Tuoba Totar had been through the wind and rain for a long time and was accustomed to seeing the world, thinking of that possibility, his face couldn't help but completely change color, and he trembled with some disbelief: "Could it be that Alan Zhebei really thinks that he is a bait and wants to die with the Sui army?" Tu Li's breathing was obviously stagnant, and he pondered for a moment before he said calmly: "Look at the fire, this is the only way to explain it!" Although his tone was much calmer, his heart was overturned, and his back was cold.

Arson means slaughtering the city, and the lives of hundreds of thousands of people are burned to the ground, and it takes a lot of determination and ruthlessness to give such an order.

"Lord Zuo Khan, for some reason, the enemy's front army has slowed down, and Yang Yu, the lord of Sui, has led the Chinese army to Tongzhou City." At this moment, the scout of the Sui army, who was in charge of monitoring the pursuit behind him, suddenly came to report.

Tuoba Tuo was stunned for a moment, and he and Tuli glanced at each other, and both of them saw a strange brilliance in each other's eyes, which was excitement, the color of excitement.

"Zuo Khan, this is our last chance." Tuli took a deep breath, his eyes brightening, and although he tried to remain calm and calm, his tone still revealed the excitement in his heart. Tuoba Totar pursed his lips tightly, his cloudy and vicissitudes of life eyes stared closely at the direction of Tongzhou City, and his brows were furrowed tightly, like a strong and powerful word "Sichuan".

"Zuo Khan, judging from the current situation, General Alan has achieved his goal, successfully dragged Lin Nan, and the opportunity to turn defeat into victory is just around the corner, we should make a decision immediately and kill back!" Tuli couldn't help but be a little anxious when he saw that Tuoba Tuo was silent.

The fighter plane is fleeting, and if you can't grasp it, you will regret it afterwards.

"If we retreat this time, it will not only damage the prestige of the Great Khan, but also a blow to the morale of the whole army. The enemy's army in front of him was only 20,000 men, but our side was twice as large, so we had a great chance of winning if we were prepared and unprepared. As the core general of this southern expedition, Tuli was naturally unwilling to return to the dynasty in such a disgraced manner, and now that the opportunity is in front of him, he naturally does not want to miss it. What's more, if he returns from such a big defeat, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will use this as a tool to attack him when he returns to the grassland.

"What the Right Khan said is very true." Tuli thought of Tuoba Totar naturally thought of it, but because of several failures made him hesitate, Lin Nan's cunning and the strength of the Sui army's combat effectiveness made him unable to be optimistic, and he could not be cautious.

After thinking about it for a long time, Tuoba Totar finally made up his mind: "Assemble the army and fight back!" Although his words were very low, they were sonorous and powerful, and his cloudy eyes became extraordinarily bright and hot, and his body once again exuded a compelling domineering aura.

……

"Stop!"

"General Xu, why did you order the march to stop?" Gao Dechang looked at Xu Shiji strangely, not knowing what he was going to do.

"It's not good!" Xu Shiji glanced at Gao Dechang, twisted his eyebrows and looked around, under the flickering firelight, his face was a little dark and gloomy.

For some reason, Xu Shiji felt depressed and uneasy for no reason, and even the war horse under his crotch seemed to feel something, and neighed a little restlessly.

"What's wrong? The Turkic army is right in front of us, we should rush up and kill them without a single piece of armor! Gao Dechang raised his eyebrows, and his bronze bell-sized eyes turned around, but he didn't find the slightest abnormality.

This place is an official road, because it is winter, the stratum is frozen, but it is more conducive to walking than summer, both sides of the official road are dense forests, the fallen leaves are scattered, bare is not desolate, whining sound under the ravages of the cold wind, some infiltrate.

"Be careful, have you forgotten Your Majesty's instructions?" Xu Shiji observed for a long time and did not see anything different, but he still believed in his instincts, and did not dare to venture easily, Tongzhou caught fire, this matter was by no means unusual, the herald had already told him the news that Lin Nan led people to Tongzhou, and Xu Shiji did not dare to be careless.

Although Xu Shiji is not very old, he is very calm, and the task delivered by Lin Nan this time is mainly to surprise the enemy rather than kill the enemy, and Xu Shiji will naturally unswervingly implement it.

Gao Dechang's expression froze, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I haven't forgotten, it's just that the enemy is right in front of us, should we let them escape?" Maybe Jieli was among them, and capturing him would not only be a great achievement, but also completely defeat the Turkic army and make them collapse. After a pause, Gao Dechang said with a confident face: "General Xu, which of the brothers is not a battle-hardened elite, even if the Turks are ambushed, what can I do?" Let's say that there are only 50,000 people, even if it is 100,000 people, why are we afraid? Hearing this, Xu Shiji thought for a moment before he said solemnly: "Send someone to Tongzhou to find out what happened, and the others stay vigilant and move on!" ”

Seeing Xu Shiji say this, Gao Dechang suddenly showed a resolute gaze, avenged his brother, washed away the shame for the Gao family, and now fell on himself.

After walking forward for a while, the ambush of the Turkic army never appeared, Xu Shiji couldn't help but relax a little, and at this moment, there was a sudden rumbling footsteps in front of him.

"Warriors of the Turks, the time has come to be loyal to the Great Khan, to avenge the dead brethren and kill all the Sui dogs! Kill! With this earth-shattering roar, Xu Shiji saw a black torrent suddenly appear hundreds of meters in front of him, and he was murderously moving towards him.

Looking at the dense black shadows, the number of people is afraid that there are no less than 20,000, Xu Shiji's face changed drastically, his heart sank, and he shouted: "The enemy is attacking, meet the enemy!" As he spoke, he suddenly pulled out the halberd behind his back, staring at the enemy in front of him with his eyes cold and solemn.

"Kill!" For the bitter and bitter two sides of the Sui Dynasty, when they meet on a narrow road, all words are hypocritical and superfluous.

Although the appearance of the Turkic army was very sudden, so that Xu Shiji was a little passive, but the Sui army's good military quality was reflected at this time, they were already very vigilant, and there was no panic in the face of the surprise attack of the Turkic army, with Xu Shiji's order, 30,000 crossbowmen immediately bent their bows and arrows, and launched an attack on the Turkic army by projectile.

"Woohoo!" Although the bow and arrow lost its accuracy in the dark night, the dense rain of arrows still caused a lot of damage to the tightly formed Turkic army, and with the muffled sound of sharp blades entering the flesh, there were screams one after another in the Turkic army.

"Rush over and kill them without leaving a piece of armor behind!"

"The person who captures the Sui Lord alive will have a reward of 10,000 taels, and the official will be promoted to the third level!"

"Kill, ......" The arrows rained down, but the Turkic army could not retreat, and only by advancing could it achieve the final victory, so that the Sui army's bow and crossbow would lose its lethality.

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and as the veteran Tuoba Totar rushed towards Xu Shiji first, the Turkic army, which had long been holding its breath, suddenly boiled, and they roared madly, like mad beasts rushing towards the Sui army.

"Expel the enemy, protect the family and defend the country! Kill! After a rain of arrows, the distance between the two sides had been shortened a lot, Xu Shiji suddenly shouted, and when the words fell, he jumped out of his horse and rushed towards the Turkic army that rushed like an arrow from the string.

"Kill!" Behind Xu Shiji, 10,000 sword and shield hands roared in unison, holding a shield in their left hand and a knife in their right hand, rushing towards the Turkic army with firm and powerful steps, and as the distance got closer and closer, the evil qi on their bodies became more and more vigorous.

Xu Shiji's horse was fast, and it only took a few breaths to meet the Turkic army, without the slightest hesitation, he scolded lightly, and the halberd poked out like a spirit snake, and before the Turkic soldiers could react, they pierced deep into their throats, leaving a terrifying hole.

Xu Shiji was unforgiving with a move, let go of the reins of the horse with his left hand, and pulled out a short halberd from his back, and with the double halberd in his hand, he suddenly went out to sea like a dragon, raging in the Turkic army, in and out, so unhappy. ……

Tongzhou City.

"Your Majesty, the fire in the city has been completely controlled, and it has not continued to spread to other places, and the enemies in the city have been basically cleared, and everyone is now working together to rescue the suffering people." Lin Nan stood on the tower of Tongzhou Nancheng, overlooking the southern city after being ravaged by the flames, his face was very heavy.

The helmet on his head had been removed, the hair was scattered and fluttered with the cold wind, and the blood stains on his face looked very sad in the flickering firelight, and the appearance of him covered in blood was extremely terrifying.

Nalan Xue stood quietly behind Lin Nan, like a faithful guard, although her face had regained her calm, her eyes were still red and swollen, and her trance eyes and frowning eyebrows showed the waves in her heart.

"Good." Lin Nan nodded, affirmed their work, paused and then asked, "But what other suspicious characters have been found?" ”

"Hurry up, be honest, hurry!" The soldier was about to reply, when he saw a pair of soldiers escorting dozens of people dressed in black towards Lin Nan in the distance.

Lin Nan and Nalan Xue's eyes were immediately attracted by these people, judging from their clothes, they couldn't tell the enemy from the enemy, but judging from their messy clothes, mottled blood stains on their bodies, and depressed and angry looks, these people were obviously Turkic troops.

Lin Nan's deep eyes swept over the dozens of black-clothed people, and a cold chill slowly diffused from his body, for the Turkic army, Lin Nan now has no good impression at all, especially the Turkic army in Tongzhou City, he can't wait to kill it.

Suddenly, Lin Nan's eyes froze, a strange brilliance flashed in his eyes, staring at a man in black behind him, and the murderous aura on his body also became strong in an instant.

"Your Majesty, these people want to take advantage of the chaos to escape from the north gate, and they have also injured many of our brothers, so I will bring them to you and hand them over!" It was a battalion-level officer who spoke, according to Lin Nan's order, he was responsible for blocking the north gate, and he was running into a group of black-clothed people who wanted to escape from the north gate, Lin Nan had an order, he naturally couldn't let anyone escape.

"Bring it on!" Although Lin Nan's tone was flat, the evil aura on his body was extremely strong, like a yin wind rushing towards the black-clothed people, making them shiver involuntarily.

"Yes!"

"Let's go! Say what about you, rubbing what! Syllable! However, the black-clothed man who had just attracted Lin Nan's attention was a little faster, and the soldier in charge of escorting him beside him unceremoniously kicked him north, kicking him to the ground, and his forehead hit the ground, and blood flowed immediately, but this could not arouse anyone's sympathy.

Although the soldiers can put life and death aside and despise life, they are also unwilling to fabricate and kill, and they are also unacceptable to the practice of killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people.

"Get on your knees!"

"Let go of Lao Tzu and get out of here!"

"Look for death! Bang bang! With a series of muffled sounds from fists to flesh, dozens of black-clothed people who were struggling were finally pressed down by the Sui army and knelt down in front of Lin Nan, but these people were full of anger, stalked their necks, and glared at Lin Nan with hatred, obviously not convinced.

Lin Nan took two steps, looked at the black-clothed people condescendingly, and said coldly: "Where is Jieli?" How many accomplices are there in the city? ”

"Phew!" A black-clothed man who looked like a leader spat Lin Nan with disdain, and spit a mouthful of blood-stained thick phlegm on the battle skirt around Lin Nan's waist.

"How dare you be disrespectful to Your Majesty, against you dog bastard!" Seeing that the man in black was so rampant, the Sui army behind him suddenly became angry, and the huge fist suddenly rained down on the man in black, and it was not difficult to hear the strength of the Sui army from the dull sound, but the man in black gritted his teeth and didn't snort.
