Chapter 557: Murderous Intent

Cao Xiaoda knew very well in his heart why these generals had such a big opinion, for He Louzi to send troops rashly, which eventually led to such a result, and even he had to step into Li Xinchen's trap, how could Cao Xiaoda himself have no opinion?

It's just that now that he is in a high position and commands the whole army, there are some things he can't say, and he can't allow his subordinates to say them.

Now that they have been stopped, Cao Xiaoda is already difficult to ride, and this battle has to be fought.

"Gather the left and right flanks, and the scouts will search these two hills, and the left and right flanks will each send two hundred men to follow behind the scouts, but if they encounter the enemy, they will retreat first, and there is no need to force an attack." Cao Xiaoda said in a deep voice.

Since he fights, there must be a rule, although he knows that Li Xinchen is scheming, but Cao Xiaoda also believes that his dignified and upright array is slowly pressed up, and there will naturally be fewer opportunities to take advantage of it, he does not want to be able to defeat or catch Li Xinchen at all, as long as he can rescue He Louzigan, he will achieve his goal.

Because there is really no need to entangle with Li Xinchen in this deep mountain, this is the home of Li Xinchen and the Ba people, and the Northern Zhou army cannot take advantage, and He Louzigan is a living example.

Cao Xiaoda wants to walk into this trap, and then get out of the trap safely.

The Northern Zhou army spread along the mountain road, and sword and shield men, crossbowmen, and spearmen strode forward in a neat array. Cao Xiaoda learned the lesson of He Louzi's work before, and made up his mind that no matter how provocative the enemy was, he would never take the initiative to pursue.

"General, isn't this too embarrassing?!" A cronie said with some dissatisfaction.

Although Cao Xiaoda has always been steady, these cronies who have followed him for a long time have never seen Cao Xiaoda so steady.

didn't answer this question directly, Cao Xiaoda just squinted slightly, and a gust of mountain wind blew in his face, with a coolness.

"The killing intent in this wind is inevitably a little stronger." Cao Xiaoda suddenly spoke, and then ignored the second monk's confidants, and walked quickly down the mountain.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”-β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”--

"I'm afraid this Cao Xiaoda is not a turtle!" Xiao Shilian gritted his teeth, but he was helpless against the Northern Zhou army that was slowly advancing in front of him.

He asked himself if he was as good as Li Xinchen, and he could find the key and vital points of the enemy at a glance, but the days of staying in this mountain forest were not short, Xiao Shilian asked himself that he was a lot clearer about this "mountain battle", but looking at the Northern Zhou army formation in front of him made him feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

There is no other reason, Cao Xiaoda's position is too upright, the left and right wings are about to shrink to the side of the Chinese army, and the whole big array moves forward, and there is no flaw at all. Although the speed of advancement is not fast, at least now Xiao Shilian can only stare dryly and can't do anything.

"General, we're getting closer, shouldn't we go too?" A small leader of the Ba people said in a low voice, of course, if you use Nan Chen's official title to convert, this is a general. It's just that the various departments of the Ba people who later took refuge in Li Xinchen have not had time to reorganize, so their positions are still the same as before the Ba people.

According to Li Xinchen's instructions, their main task in this willow ditch is to be responsible for detecting the enemy's movements, Li Xinchen's trap has not yet been arranged to the side of the willow ditch, after all, compared to the valley and dense forest that continue to the north, the terrain on the side of the willow ditch is still a little more open, Li Xinchen is not manpowered, of course, he does not do these futile work, presumably such an open place even if the trap is arranged, it will not play a role.

Of course, Xiao Shilian still wanted to find a chance to learn from Cao Xiaoda, at least to test this guy's ability, but obviously Cao Xiaoda didn't give him a chance at all.

"General, if we don't leave, I'm afraid we will be discovered if we move again." There was already some nervousness in the voice of the small leader of the Ba people, after all, they were only thirty or forty people in total, how could they really deal with thousands of enemies?

Xiao Shilian gritted his teeth and snorted: "Withdraw!" ”

It's really cheap Cao Xiaoda.

Most of them were hidden in the surrounding trees and bushes, and the moonlight sprinkled on the ground through the branches, mottled and scattered, and Xiao Shilian and the others walked carefully between the trees, trying not to make a sound.

After all, the enemy was not far behind, and they couldn't hope that those Northern Zhou scouts who opened the way didn't have a good ear. The feeling of being chased by thousands of people is not very good, and Xiao Shilian doesn't want to try it easily.

"Who?" Even so, a scout from the Northern Zhou who was walking in front looked at it vigilantly, but in the moonlight, only the branches of the trees swayed gently in the evening breeze, where was there anything unusual?

"You should have lost your eyes." Another companion said disapprovingly, "Although the Naba people are as cunning as mountain monkeys, they don't have the courage to touch our eyes." ”

The old scout of the Northern Zhou frowned: "I hope so, maybe it's just the creatures in this mountainΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· But since I came here, I always feel a little flustered. ”

Several young companions were surprised to see that this old scout had been on the battlefield for many years, and he had a lot of experience and accurate sense of smell, which could make him feel that something was wrong, then I am afraid that this situation was really not right.

Of course, Cao Xiaoda didn't know that there were enemy scouts less than twenty zhang away from his forward, and the leaders of these scouts were still preparing to compete with him, and he was anxious about the foggy battle situation in front of him.

The entire Liushugou easily fell into Cao Xiaoda's hands - mainly because Li Xinchen did not arrange any remaining troops at all, and obviously had no intention of defending Liushugou at all, even if Liushugou was an easy place to defend and difficult to attack.

But continuing to move forward from Liushugou, there has been no news from the scouts sent out before, at first Cao Xiaoda only said that the road was difficult or these scouts had not found anything, but as time went by, he has understood, I am afraid that these scouts have been more than lucky.

The willow ditch is under control, and there is no news when the willow ditch is out, and even Cao Xiaoda, who has been in battle for a long time, is beating the drum in his heart.

Or in other words, this battle was too bad!

Before, Cao Xiaoda followed Wei Chi Yu to charge into battle, either a surprise victory or a dignified formation, but the dense forest in front of him was like a huge swamp, which made Cao Xiaoda's eyes blacken, and he couldn't use the strength of his hands, let alone whether he should continue to move forward.

The trees ahead were getting thicker and denser, and it was hard to see the moonlight on the ground. Cao Xiaoda took a deep breath and strode across this dividing line.

The front team naturally parted to the sides, and several team leaders walked briskly. Cao Xiaoda asked in surprise, "What is it?" ”

"General, it's a corpse." A general's voice was shocked.

Cao Xiaoda subconsciously looked up, and with a little moonlight, he held his breath.
