Chapter 14: Beheading the Enemy
A street in Moon City.
Several guards were escorting the main general of the Ghost Army, who had probably just been awakened at this time, and his clothes were not very neat.
The city was filled with shouts of killing, and there was chaos.
Several people were in a hurry, and in the process of walking, one of the guards also said urgently: "General, the city gate has been breached, our army is almost unable to resist, and it will be too late if you don't leave......"
"Quick, quick, escort me through the north gate." The main general of the ghost army had already panicked at this time.
But as soon as he finished speaking, several guards suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" The ghost army leader followed suit.
The tone of the "General ......" guard obviously revealed nervousness, and when he spoke, several people immediately protected the ghost army commander behind him.
On the road in front of him, I don't know when, Xiao Yuan was already standing there.
He held the knife in one hand, stared at the main general of the ghost army with cold eyes, and said in a cold voice: "Leave your head and go." ”
Leave the head, then can you still go?
The ghost army master knew some Central Plains languages, and after hearing this, he immediately pointed at Xiao Yuan and shouted: "Quick! Kill him! ”
Without his order, the four guards had already drawn their waist scimitars and directly besieged Xiao Yuan.
Four people, four knives, from four directions, attacked Xiao Yuan's vital body, the latter waved his sword continuously, after parrying, he retreated, and then aimed at the person on the left, and there was a knife in the head.
The man had just stabbed a knife, and he was still in the process of retracting the momentum, so he didn't have time to react at all, and the powerful knife also went straight down head-on, splitting it in two from the middle!
The blood mist sprayed, and the other three were shocked, but before they could react, Xiao Yuan's knife arrived again.
He jumped up, his footsteps moving sideways, flashing to the sides of the three of them in a strange way, and then swinging his sword horizontally.
With a knife as fast as lightning, the other party didn't even scream, and the three heads were broken by neck.
In between, it's a long story, but in fact, the whole process that happened was only in a moment.
After eliminating the four guards, Xiao Yuan also shook off the blood on the tip of the knife and turned to face the main general of the ghost army.
At this moment, the main general of the ghost army was already frightened stupidly, looking at the four guards who were already in different places, his eyes widened, first swallowed his saliva fiercely, and then without saying a word, he turned around and ran.
As a result, as soon as his footsteps moved, Xiao Yuan had already rushed up, and only two people jumped up, and people were already in front of him again.
"Huh!?" The latter was frightened, his steps retreated, and seeing that there was no way to escape, he also knelt on the ground at once, and said in a stiff Central Plains language: "Rao...... Spare ......"
Before his words fell, Xiao Yuan had already swung out a knife mercilessly.
Another severed head, clean and neat.
Then, Xiao Yuan picked up the severed head of the main general of the ghost army and walked quickly in the direction of his own army.
At this time, as Lu Bolin's main army entered the city, the ghost army was caught off guard, and it had already collapsed, and the street battles everywhere were nearing the end.
The remnants of the ghost army in the city were also surrounded by the Central Plains army at this moment, and they were shrinking in front of the Colosseum.
When Xiao Yuan arrived here, he saw this scene.
Lu Bolin stood at the front of the crowd under the escort of several partial generals, and at this time, a partial general leaned over to him and said, "Lu Shuai, Xiao Yuan asks to see." ”
"Oh? Hasn't he died yet? Lu Bolin raised his eyebrows, but he didn't care much: "Let him come over." ”
After a while, Xiao Yuan walked over, and after seeing Lu Bolin, he also clasped his fists and saluted: "Subordinates see Lu Shuai!" ”
In his hand, he was also carrying a bloody human head.
"No need to be polite." Lu Bolin waved his hand, and then his eyes fell on the person's head, and he couldn't help asking, "...... is this?"
"This is the head of the main general of the ghost army in Moon City!" Xiao Yuan said directly.
"What!?" When Lu Bolin heard this, he was first taken aback, and then he also showed joy.
Now the remnants of the ghost army have not been wiped out, and it is really good to have the head of the opponent's main general!
He didn't say a word, he directly lifted the severed head, and then faced the ghost army in front of him, raised the severed head high, and said in a loud voice: "Wait and listen!" Your Lord will be dead! Now lay down your arms and surrender! Otherwise, there is only a dead end! ”
In the previous battle against the ghost army, on the side of the Central Plains army, Lu Bolin has always been the commander, and he has been dealing with the ghost army for so long, and he can more or less know some ghost languages.
Under the encirclement, a group of ghost clan soldiers were already nervous with spears in their hands, and when they heard this at this moment, seeing Lu Bolin's hands cut off, many people couldn't help but start looking left and right, showing a look of confusion.
And after Lu Bolin finished speaking, he also directly threw the head of the main general of the ghost army into the crowd.
The severed head fell into the ghost army, and with an uproar, many people retreated, and it didn't take long for some of the ghost soldiers in the front row to no longer withstand the pressure, lose their heart of resistance, and couldn't help throwing away the spears in their hands.
As one person began, soon, the sound of spears falling to the ground rang out one after another.
Lu Bolin was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately waved his hand: "Take it all!" ”
As soon as he gave an order, the surrounding Central Plains soldiers stepped forward one after another, and in teams of two, they detained all those ghost soldiers.
And with the surrender of the remnants of these ghost armies, the battle of the night attack on Moon City was also declared victorious, at this time, Lu Bolin also looked at Xiao Yuan, he first laughed, and then said: "Yes, Xiao Yuan, you have made a lot of contributions to the capture of Moon City this time, and this commander will definitely report to the court and show your merits." ”
As he spoke, he looked around at the general again, and said again: "Listen to the order!" From now on, Xiao Yuan will be the first commander of our infantry army! ”
"Yes!" All the generals said in unison.
Subsequently, a partial general also said to Xiao Yuan: "Xiao Yuan, haven't you thanked Lu Shuai soon?" ”
When Xiao Yuan heard this, he hurriedly knelt down on one knee, intervened and saluted: "Thank you Lu Shuai!" ”
"Haha-...... good" Lu Bolin was happy again.
You must know that he has always been at a disadvantage against the ghost army before, especially after losing Yuecheng, his future is even more worrying, if he is defeated again, with the situation at that time, he is very likely to be brought down by the political enemies of the court.
This time he recaptured Moon City from the ghost army, this is a big victory, and the crisis is eliminated, how can he not be happy.
And he is far from being as good as he seems on the surface, it can be said that he acknowledges Xiao Yuan's military exploits on the face, but in fact, it is impossible to mention Xiao Yuan in the recital of the imperial court.
On the other side, after the chaos in Yuecheng, Peng Shuang also found Xiao Yuan covered in blood, and when he saw that he was fine, he couldn't help but sigh, and half-jokingly: "I thought you died in battle." ”
Nothing strengthens our friendship more than being on the battlefield and fighting side by side.
In this battle, Xiao Yuan's calmness and ability have impressed Peng Shuang.
