Chapter 569: Dancing on the Tip of the Knife

These crossbowmen were certainly a piece of fat, but there were not many of them, and they were retreating backwards, and the protruding hillside on the road obscured their view, which did not have much impact on Pei Zilie's side at all.

While the enemy's sword and shield men and spearmen had regrouped behind these crossbowmen, and more enemies had also surrounded them from the flanks, it was obvious that Wei Shou had decisively given up the forward, and was ready to deal with Chen Zhishen, an army that had turned his hinterland upside down.

Chen Zhishen exhaled, if he continued to move forward, Chen Zhishen would definitely hit the iron plate after eating the fat, this deal was a loss-making deal after all, Chen Zhishen asked himself if he could still weigh it clearly.

What's more, in the other direction not far away, there is another piece of fat.

"Break through the enemy's rear army and take the enemy's baggage to Lao Tzu!" Chen Zhishen waved his hand, and the generals agreed with a bang.

"This Chen Zhishen didn't fall for it." Walking quickly onto a stone halfway up the mountain, Wei Shou turned around and saw this scene on the battlefield, and couldn't help but sigh. He was familiar with the lieutenant who commanded the Chinese army, and he was also a guy with a bold fighting style, so it was not surprising to make such a tactic of using crossbowmen as bait to lure the enemy deeper.

But apparently Chen Zhishen saw through this trap and turned his target to the Northern Zhou Rear Army. At this time, the rear army has been fully deployed, so the frontal defense line is actually a little thin, if Chen Zhishen can break through the front defense before the left and right flanks come over, then not only can he jump out of the encirclement of the Northern Zhou army, but he can rush into the baggage ranks.

Compared to the enemy's crossbowmen, these baggage weights are not a piece of fat?

"Let the rear army not fall in love with the war, and protect the baggage!" Wei Shou waved his hand, turned his head to look at the hillside, and frowned slightly.

"Kill!" A loud shout suddenly came from the top of Wei Shou's head, and a black shadow fell from the sky, but it was a Ba man hiding in a tree, he took advantage of the surprise of a personal guard in front of Wei Shou, raised his knife and slashed him to the ground, turned around and pounced on Wei Shou.

The captain of the guard was quick and threw Wei Shou to the ground, and the two of them rolled away in a bit of embarrassment. A few other guards hurried over, but the Naba soldiers did not like to fight, and rushed directly into the bushes next to them.

A few of the guards were about to rush forward when arrows whistled down from the sky, causing them to retreat in embarrassment.

Wei Shou stretched out his hand to push away the captain of the guard and looked up at the towering trees. In an instant, he felt that he had been able to understand the difficulties of He Lou Zigan and Cao Xiaoda. These Ba people who move back and forth between the big trees and jump are really helpless.

"There's an ambush!" A general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty said in a panic.

A large fishing net fell from the sky, directly covering the more than ten Northern Zhou soldiers who rushed in front of them, and then I don't know how many people jumped down from the trees, all pressing forks or spears in their hands, and stabbing indiscriminately, those Northern Zhou soldiers were still struggling at first, trying to lift the fishing nets, but soon their shouts were replaced by screams, and then there was no sound.

"Retreat!" Wei Shou made a decision, he thought about the situation too simply, since Pei Zilie chose this place as the ambush site, he must have already arranged the ambush troops on the periphery, especially these main commanding heights, and he must have arranged the Ba people to block them.

It may not be possible for these Ba people to charge directly into battle, but letting them ambush and fight in this dense forest is not something Wei Shou can handle.

Wei Shou can judge through this fight that these Ba people are not easy to mess with, and there are only 100 guards around him, if he continues to move forward, I am afraid it will not be enough for others to eat.

"Quickly send someone to tell Cui Hongdu about the emergency, go now!" Wei Shou stretched out his hand and pushed the guard next to him.

Now the battle situation has become more and more erosive, Wei Shou was not confident for a while that he could defeat Chen Zhishen and Pei Zilie, the top priority was to urge reinforcements, what this army said could not be wiped out.

"Left and right shrink!" Wei Shou said loudly.

When reinforcements didn't arrive, they could only rely on themselves.

"Kill!" Seeing that Wei Shou no longer continued to move forward, countless Ba people jumped out of the darkness and pounced on the nearest enemy. After receiving the order, these Northern Zhou soldiers did not continue to move forward, and retreated to the bottom of the hill in some confusion.

——————————————————

Cui Hongdu couldn't wait to divide himself into two parts, the war in the north of Cangxi Valley was already enough to scorch up, and now Wei Shou was still surrounded in a position less than two miles north of Cangxi Valley, which also meant that Cui Hongdu had no reason to see death and not save him.

Cui Hongdu didn't know when Li Xinchen would attack, and he didn't know how long Wei Shou would be able to support it, so Cui Hongdu very much wanted one to go to rescue Wei Shou and one to stay here to guard against Li Xinchen.

Of course, this is unrealistic, so in the end, a partial general went to the rescue with a thousand soldiers and horses, and the rest of the soldiers and horses still held on.

So now Cui Hongdu can only anxiously pace back and forth in the council hall, all the generals have been dispatched, all the scouts have been sent out, but no news has come back so far.

"Report!" A scout rushed in quickly, "The checkpoint of Xujiagou was raided by the enemy, and Li Xinchen's general flag was found!" ”

"What?!" Cui Hongdu was startled, and quickly walked to the map, and couldn't help but gasp. Li Xinchen showed his flag, indicating that he was brazenly attacking, and the terrain of Xujiagou was similar to that of Liushugou.

It's just that the willow ditch is protruding outward, while the Xujiagou is concave inward.

But in this way, it means that Li Xinchen's tentacles have extended to the edge of the main road in Cangxi Valley, and he can cut off the road in Cangxi Valley at any time.

It is precisely because of the dangerous terrain of Xujiagou that the Northern Zhou Dynasty is heavily guarded here, of course, this heavy army is only the defense of the rest of the place, Cui Hongdu knows that in front of Li Xinchen, these checkpoints set up in the mountains are a layer of tissue paper, which can be pierced at any time.

"Report, general, Li Xinchen is leading the army to attack the checkpoint on the north side of Xujiagou!" Another herald rushed in.

"What?!" Cui Hongdu turned his head in surprise and looked at Yutu, his face gloomy.

If Xujiagou is the main road close to Cangxi Valley, then the checkpoint on the north side of Xujiagou is directly set up on the mountain next to the main road of Cangxi Valley.

"Come with so-and-so!" Cui Hongdu's face was pale, Li Xinchen was going to dance on the tip of the knife, and he couldn't make Li Xinchen so arrogant.

Now that Wei Xiaokuan and Wei Chi Hui have come to the south side of Cangxi Valley, if Li Xinchen cuts off the road on the north side at this time, then it will be a slap in the face of Cui Hongdu in Chiguoguo.
