Chapter 280: Mountain and Forest Ambush

When the guard heard Yan Zixi's question, he didn't know who this person was, and there was a hint of hesitation on his face, after all, this was a major military incident, and he didn't dare to confide in it at will.

His eyes turned to Xiao Jingcong's face, and after getting Xiao Jingcong's permission, the guard thought for a moment before replying: "General Li's troops are divided into two routes, the deputy general leads 3,000 troops to the west, and General Li leads 2,000 to the north, what should we do now?" ”

Xiao Jingcong walked over, glanced at the military map in the sand table, two fine lights appeared in his eyes, and then asked Yan Zixi beside him: "Xi'er, do you have any good plans?" ”

"Jing Cong, now that the enemy army is huge, it is not appropriate to clash with them head-on, people come from afar, they must have been exhausted, so although there are many people, Xi'er thinks it is not enough to be afraid......" After a slight pause, Yan Zixi continued to say what she thought in her heart, "Jing Cong, now that General Li has led his men and horses to kill, once he fights with the enemy army, it should not be possible to immediately distinguish the victory and defeat in a short period of time, so we should immediately send troops now to cut off the enemy's rear road, and encircle General Li's army together, and attack back and forth, In this way, the enemy army will be defeated! ”

When the guards heard Yan Zixi's words, they were immediately in awe, and couldn't help but glance at Yan Zixi a few more times, wondering in their hearts which new general was this, who was so insightful?

At this time, Xiao Jingcong also nodded, as if he agreed with Yan Zixi's opinion, and then turned to the guard and ordered: "Pass the order, and the remaining soldiers and horses will immediately be put in place and act according to my orders." ”

"Yes!" The guard clenched his fists respectfully, and then walked out.

After the guards left, Xiao Jingcong turned his head and hugged Yan Zixi in his arms, kept it warm for a moment, and instructed in his mouth: "Xi'er, for your husband, you will lead the army to the battle, you will stay in the barracks and don't go out, and your husband will come back before dawn!" ”

Seeing that Xiao Jingcong was going to war, Yan Zixi immediately became nervous, opened her lips slightly, and wanted to say something, but the words still didn't come out of her mouth after all.

Choked up slightly, Yan Zixi nodded vigorously, "Jing Cong, don't worry, Xi'er will obediently stay in the camp to take care of General Sun Li, and she won't cause you any more trouble!" You must be careful when you go, and promise me that I will come back safe and sound! ”

"Xi'er, I'll come back to see you safe and sound, I'm leaving."

Xiao Jingcong kissed Yan Zixi's forehead, and then put on his armor, holding the Hongyan sword in his hand, and walked out of the military tent with a majestic spirit.

"Jingcong ......" looked at the back of Xiao Jingcong's departing majesty, Yan Zixi's eyes flashed with tears, and she had already cried into a tearful person.

……

On the mountainside to the north, General Li Hui personally led 2,000 soldiers and horses from his headquarters to ambush in the mountains and forests, all of them staring nervously at the flickering fire from afar.

General Li Hui was prostrate on the rocks, his eyes unblinking as he watched the enemy troops in the distance slowly approaching, his right hand hovering in mid-air, ready to launch an attack at any time.

When the firelight came to the mountain depression, General Li Hui's right hand slammed down, and in an instant, countless boulders tumbled and fell, and the archers bent their bows and set up rockets, and released rockets towards the mountain depression.

"Brothers, kill the enemy with me!"

General Li Hui shouted, pulled out the sword at his waist, and led two thousand soldiers and horses to charge towards the enemy army under the mountain depression!

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The Northern Liang Yuanxia coalition army in the mountain depression suddenly suffered a surprise attack launched on the mountain, and immediately panicked. Especially when they encountered falling rocks and rockets shooting down from the sky, they suddenly mourned all over the field and shouted to the sky.

However, the commander of the Northern Liang Yuanxia coalition army was not an idle person, and in such a panicked situation, he quickly organized his men and horses, and re-entered the formation to meet the charge of the Xiao army.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

General Li Hui slapped his horse and whipped his whip, brandished a long sword in his hand and took the lead in swooping down the mountain, and formed a triangular formation with the two teams of cavalry parallel behind him, like a sharp knife inserted into the abdomen of the Northern Liang Yuanxia coalition army, tearing open a gap.

The infantry followed, and finally collided with the enemy, and in an instant, under the background of the torches, countless swords and swords were stirred!

Blood and water flew sideways, gushing out, and countless fresh lives bloomed like blisters, and finally dissipated, turning into a pool of blood without a trace.

The cavalry led by General Li Hui was also trapped by the spear array of Northern Liang Yuanxia.

Originally, the combined forces of Northern Liang and Yuan Xia were several times more than General Li Hui's personal soldiers, plus the spearmen naturally had to restrain the cavalry, and it was mountainous terrain, so General Li Hui's cavalry could not play much role at all, and they were soon trapped in the encirclement of the enemy army.

Although at the beginning, General Li Hui borrowed a trap to ambush and achieved a certain victory by assault on the mountain, but with the passage of time, once the battle continued, General Li Hui's 2,000 soldiers and horses fell into a disadvantage, and sooner or later they would be eaten up by the coalition forces of Northern Liang and Western Xia.

General Li Hui's body was already covered with blood, and from just now to now, there were several deep and terrible wounds on his body, and blood was constantly bulging out at this moment. Let's do it

"General Li, we can't hold out for long, please break through quickly!"

General Li Hui's lieutenant cut down several spearmen, rushed to Li Hui's face covered in blood, and persuaded him. General Li Hui held the blade in his hand tightly, without the slightest intention of retreating and breaking through.

He grabbed the deputy general and roared: "There is only Li Hui who died in battle today, and there is absolutely no Li Hui who retreated!" All the soldiers obey the order and charge with me! ”

General Li Hui roared, pulled up a bright silver spear inserted next to him, and directly pierced the shield array in front of him with a few shots, and fought with the spearmen behind the shield soldiers. More guards cavalry also rushed over and fought side by side with Li Hui. However, the mountainous terrain greatly limited the mobility of the cavalry, and there were spearmen in front of it, so even if General Li Hui was brave, he could no longer effectively organize the charge.

The guards and cavalry around him were cut down to the ground one by one, Li Hui's heart was dripping blood, his eyes became blood-red, the more he fought, the more brave he became, the blood stained his battle robe, I don't know if it was the blood of the enemy or the blood of his own brother.

"Hmph, what a tiger general, cut off the horse's leg and capture it alive!"

The commander of the Northern Liang Army of Yuanxia behind the spear formation couldn't help but marvel when he saw Li Hui, who was bravely killing the enemy in the firelight, and immediately issued an order to his soldiers to capture Li Hui alive.

Originally, the archery team of Northern Liang Yuanxia had already aimed their arrows at Li Hui, and because of this order, the people of the archery team could only put away their bows and arrows, and let the other troops go up to meet Li Hui and capture him alive.

But this saved Li Hui's life!

Li Hui roared, the gun barrel was picked, and in the blink of an eye, he cut down several generals of Northern Liang Yuanxia, and the soldiers of Northern Liang Yuanxia saw Li Hui as if they had seen a killing god from hell, and they all unconsciously retreated.

"Those who dare to retreat will be killed! Capture the enemy alive and reward thousands of households! ”

Under the so-called heavy reward, there must be brave men!

When the soldiers of the coalition army of Northern Liang Yuanxia heard this, they rushed towards Li Hui again without their lives, and they were bound to capture Li Hui.

Li Hui was just a mortal in the flesh after all, and at the moment when he was about to exhaust himself, the sword in his hand was swinging more and more slowly......

"Poof!"

I don't know who slashed over Li Hui's horse with a knife, and the war horse fell to the ground with a scream, and Li Hui also fell off the horse.

The moment he fell off the horse, countless spears stabbed at Li Hui, and Li Hui hurriedly blocked with his sword, blocking several vital points, but the rest of his body was still poked out of a few blood-red holes.

Seeing that they were about to be captured, a burst of earth-shattering rushing sounds suddenly sounded behind Beiliang and Yuan Xia Jun.

The commander of the Northern Liang Yuanxia Coalition Army was shocked, hurriedly patted his horse and turned around, looked behind him, and the elite iron cavalry rushed over like lightning!

"That's ...... That's ......"

Seeing the big characters of the banner "Wushuang General Xiao" written on the army, almost everyone shouted there.

"Peerless General! It's the unequaled general! ”

"General Wushuang is here, ...... Run! ”

When the Northern Liang and Yuanxia coalition saw the number on the banner and learned that it was Xiao Jingcong's troops, they were so frightened that they scattered and fled.

"Don't run away! The whole army will meet the enemy with me! The commander of the Northern Liang Yuanxia drew his sword and cut off a fleeing soldier, which stopped the rout of the army, but at this time, the elite iron cavalry led by Xiao Jingcong had already rushed in, Xiao Jingcong raised his sword and fell, and directly cut off the head of the commander of the Northern Liang Yuanxia, and the next moment all the Northern Liang Yuanxia soldiers scattered and fled.

"Your commander is dead, quickly disarm and surrender, otherwise there will be no mercy!"

Xiao Jingcong's voice was like a sharp arrow piercing the hearts of those Northern Liang and Yuanxia coalition forces, and they couldn't escape, so they could only drop the weapons in their hands, kneel on the ground, and beg Xiao Jingcong for mercy again and again.

Xiao Jingcong ordered the deputy general to rectify these surrendered troops, and he dismounted and hurriedly ran to Li Hui, who was lying in a pool of blood and dying.

"General Li, how are you?" Xiao Jingcong held General Li Hui's hand tightly, and asked with a concerned face: "It's that this king is late!" ”

"Nope! Lord Wang, it's all because the last general insists on going his own way, keeps advising, and then hurts so many brothers to die with me, I really have no shame to face you again! It's better to let me die! When General Li Hui saw Xiao Jingcong, he finally couldn't suppress the remorse in his heart, and the hot-blooded man also shed two lines of tears!

"General Li, you have already made a great contribution by striking more with less. If you hadn't led your troops to resist the Northern Liang and Yuanxia coalition forces, this king would not have been able to make a surprise attack. General Li, you are seriously injured, so don't speak, and go back to the camp with this king first! ”
