Chapter 442: Assassination

On the border of Yan and Jing, the two armies suddenly went to war, and due to the large number of people, the battlefield stretched for more than ten miles.

At this time, Gongsun Luo was in charge of the Chinese army, and he was separated from the front army by several miles, so he sent his escort team to inquire about the news of the front line. Half an hour later, the convoy finally returned, and took with them dozens of cavalry.

Gongsun Luo couldn't help but wonder, so he asked, "I asked you to go to find out the news, why did you bring people back?" ”

The person hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, now the battle on the front line is scorching, General Zang Zhuo led the cavalry to bite the enemy to the death, in order to reduce casualties, General Zang Zhuo waited for the infantry to arrive, and surrounded and annihilated the enemy in one fell swoop!" ”

Gongsun Luo nodded, and then asked, "What about the people you brought back?" ”

"Back to His Highness, these people are General She Zhou's subordinates, General She Zhou pursued the enemy army and was ambushed, these people desperately escaped and said that there was important news to report to His Highness!"

Gongsun Luo raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and just wanted to summon these cavalrymen, but Xu Jian stopped him.

"Your Highness, no! What is there in She Zhou that can't be said openly, or does He have to listen to the report in person? I'm afraid there is fraud in this! Come on, take down the cavalry first! ”

As Xu Jian gave an order, the members of the escort team immediately drew their swords. Seeing this, dozens of soldiers standing not far away suddenly burst out, and they all took out a crossbow arrow from their arms and shot it in the direction of Gongsun Luo.

These members of the escort team obviously didn't expect that dozens of people on the other side would dare to sneak attack, although everyone was well-trained, but the incident happened suddenly, and the reaction of the escort team was still half a beat slower, and dozens of crossbow arrows flew towards Gongsun Luo like raindrops.

Gongsun Luo was shocked and hurriedly dodged sideways, but the crossbow arrows were too dense, how could he dodge. Hearing only a few wind-breaking sounds, Gongsun Luo let out a muffled snort and fell off his horse.

The guards around him were also unlucky, and many people fell to the ground with arrows, falling together with Gongsun Luo, and it was difficult to distinguish the life and death of Gongsun Luo for a while.

Seeing this, Xu was furious, the spear in his hand was raised, and he burst out: "Bold thieves, kill them!" After speaking, Xu Jian immediately turned over and dismounted to check on Gongsun Luo's situation.

And these dozens of cavalrymen obviously didn't think about escaping, they saw Gongsun Luo fall to the ground, and they drew their swords to fight with the escorts. These people have fierce moves, they don't care about their own lives at all, and they are determined to die at a glance.

Within a few moments, dozens of cavalrymen had been killed, but the riots in the Chinese army were not over.

Xu Jian found Gongsun Luo for the first time, at this time, Gongsun Luo's shoulder, abdomen and thigh were all hit by arrows, and there was no blood on his face, although he was still conscious and breathing, he couldn't even speak.

Seeing such a scene, Xu Jian was also confused, and hurriedly ordered someone to find the doctor. But upon inquiry, it was learned that the doctors stayed in the camp and did not charge with the army.

At this time, Xu Jian couldn't care about the situation on the battlefield, and without saying a word, he returned to the camp with the injured Gongsun Luo.

Xu Jian's deputy general, Luo Dian, couldn't help but worry, the front army was still fighting, if the Chinese army suddenly retreated, wouldn't the front army suffer?

Thinking of this, Luo Dian hurriedly reminded Xu Jian: "General Xu, the front army is still fighting, and our sudden retreat may give the enemy an opportunity!" ”

But now Xu Jian's mind is all on Gongsun Luo's body, if Gongsun Luo dies, then he may not be able to make up for his crime by dying. Therefore, Xu Jian didn't even raise his head and said: "Then let them withdraw their troops quickly, nothing is as important as His Highness's injury!" ”

Luo Dian was stunned when he heard this, the enemy army was only tens of thousands, and now it has been bitten by his own cavalry, as long as the infantry of the Chinese army arrives, the enemy will definitely be defeated, can such a great opportunity be said to retreat? Besides, His Royal Highness is injured, why don't you just take it back to heal your wounds? Or retreat with the whole army?

But Luo Dian didn't dare to disobey the military order, if this was to be investigated, it would be a matter of losing his head. So Luo Dian stomped his feet, and had no choice but to inform the front army to retreat.

At this time, the Jingguo infantry phalanx was harassed by the Yan cavalry, which was already unspeakable. Everyone must line up in case the Yan cavalry suddenly charges. But the phalanx means that you can't retreat quickly, which is tantamount to waiting for death, once you wait for the opponent's infantry to arrive, facing an enemy twice as big as your own, how can you have a chance of winning?

But Shen Lang still looked expectant, obviously he was waiting for the results of the actions of the "hounds", as long as the hounds' actions were successful, then it would be worth it to lose tens of thousands of people in this battle!

At this moment, Zang Zhuo suddenly found that a cavalry appeared on his flank, so Zang Zhuo hurriedly ordered Nie Fei to lead people to prepare to meet the enemy.

But Nie Fei took people over to take a look, and it turned out that She Zhou retreated back with his subordinates.

Zang Zhuo saw She Zhou and immediately asked, "How is it?" Are you alright? ”

"It's nothing, the enemy is too cunning and has led us into the mountains, and the cavalry can't give full play to their advantage and let the other side run away! I also lost some soldiers and horses, which is really a nest! ”

Hearing She Zhou's words, Zang Zhuo and Nie Fei couldn't help but glance at each other, and Zang Zhuo hurriedly asked, "You confiscated the ambush?" ”

She Zhou was also confused when he heard it, he twisted his eyebrows and shook his head: "No? Who told you that I had been ambushed? ”

Hearing this, Zang Zhuo and Nie Fei were shocked, if She Zhou was not ambushed, then who was the cavalry who came back just now? Thinking of this, Zang Zhuo asked again: "Then did you have someone to bring a message to His Highness?" ”

She Zhou was even more surprised after hearing this: "What level am I, how dare I speak to His Highness?" I even have to tell you if I have any news! ”

Zang Zhuo and Nie Fei couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat after hearing this, and they couldn't help but think of two words in their hearts: Oh no!

At this moment, a herald rode a horse and ran quickly: "General Zang, General Xu ordered, withdraw the troops immediately!" ”

As soon as Zang Zhuo heard the order to withdraw the troops, his heart was half cold, now the form is very good, if there is no mistake, it will never be possible to withdraw the troops, so it seems that something may really happen!

Thinking of this, Zang Zhuo did not hesitate to begin to order: "Nie Fei, you take your subordinates to prevent the enemy from pursuing, and the others retreat immediately!" ”

As the order was delivered, the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom couldn't believe their ears, and they actually ordered the withdrawal of troops when the situation was very good? But everyone had no choice but to obey the order and began to retreat one after another, but fortunately, after Nie Fei and his subordinates, the situation was not chaotic.

When Shen Lang saw the other party withdrawing his troops, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and his smile became more and more vigorous: "Hahaha!" It seems that the operation of the Hound was successful! Pass my orders, pursue the enemy, spare but not fight, and wait until the enemy is tired before attacking in a big way! ”

With Shen Lang's order, Jingguo's infantry immediately began to pursue. At the same time, Shen Lang ordered people to recruit back the cavalry on both wings, and in his opinion, it seemed that he could defeat the attacking enemy in one fell swoop tonight!
