Chapter 552: A New Trap

He Louzi was covered in blood and panting, if he hadn't reached out to hold his general flag, I'm afraid he would not be able to support it at this time.

The corpses of the guards were scattered around him, most of these guards died in the fight with Li Xinchen's guards just now, these battle-hardened veterans were of course merciless, if it wasn't for Li Xinchen's order to retreat, the guards on both sides would really be able to fight the last trace of blood on this hillside.

The few remaining guards slowly retreated, and had already retreated to a distance of less than a zhang from He Louzigan. The upper and lower slopes of the mountain were also full of corpses and bones, and the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were in a desperate situation, and they were all fighting with a ruthlessness, which made it really difficult for the Southern Chen army, which had formed a military advantage in the local area, to help them for a while.

"Hold on!" He Louzigan's voice was a little hoarse, his flag was set up here, barely gathering hundreds of remnants, and the rest of the soldiers and horses had already dissipated in the vast forest. You don't have to think about it to know that in the face of those Ba people who grow between the mountains and forests every day, they have little chance of escaping.

The only thing He Louzigan could hope for now was that reinforcements would arrive—even if that hope was very slim, because he knew that he might not be able to hold on for even an hour.

"This He Louzi is a fierce general." Li Xinchen stood at the bottom of the hillside, squinting slightly.

Li Ping held his breath and looked around, not daring to relax his vigilance at all. The fight just now already let them know how powerful the opponent was, and at this time, they were even more afraid that some enemy would suddenly rush out and endanger Li Xinchen.

The reason why so many Ba people did not take down this small hill was mainly because from time to time the Northern Zhou army broke out and moved closer to the side of the hill, so that Li Xinchen had no choice but to put more troops on the outer line to fight with these gradually assembled Northern Zhou troops, otherwise once they rushed up the hill and joined He Louzigan, the consequences would be unimaginable.

In the end, there are still few people······ Li Xinchen sighed helplessly in his heart, if he had another thousand, no, five hundred soldiers and horses in his hands, it would definitely not be such a stalemate situation as it is now. After all, Li Xinchen still underestimated the combat power under He Louzigan's command, although this vast forest disrupted their formation, it still did not weaken their fighting spirit.

Of course, compared to Li Xinchen, who was standing in the shade of a tree and sighing helplessly, He Louzigan's mood at this time was also not good at all.

I don't know how many lives I lost before I fought for the small hill that I had to fight for was obviously not as good as He Louzigan imagined - the two commanding heights that could really see the whole situation clearly had long been occupied by Li Xinchen, and of course he Louzi would not be given a chance to do anything.

This small hillside is surrounded by dense jungle on all sides, and you don't have to think about it to know that Li Xinchen will not be able to rush up for a while, but he will not let He Louzigan leave here safely, and it can even be said that this small hillside has become an island in the middle of the vast ocean, He Louzigan can stay on it, but he can't leave.

And now what surprised He Louzigan even more was that Li Xinchen's banner was slowly retreating, retreating to the woods outside, and the Ba people who were originally gathering to attack also began to retreat, but their formation was clear, indicating that they were not attacked, but simply gave up the attack on this hillside.

In an instant, He Louzigan shuddered, he vaguely guessed Li Xinchen's purpose, the current He Louzigan and these hundreds of remnants of the defeated army are a lone army, and it is also a bait, Li Xinchen put this bait in the center of the trap, besieging but not attacking, waiting for the next prey to come to the door by itself.

Whether it is Cui Hongdu or Cao Xiaoda, he will definitely not let He Louzigan be trapped here, if he can't get the news of He Louzigan, he will definitely lead the army to come to the rescue, and at that time, this trap will naturally be useful again.

And as long as there are Ba people in the surrounding mountains and forests, then the only thing He Louzigan can do is to watch all this happen.

A new trap has been formed, except that he is no longer a prey, but a decoy.

In an instant, He Louzigan didn't want to be rescued.

——————————————-

"Shizhong!" Xiao Shilian casually threw the head of a Northern Zhou general on the ground, the head rolled twice, and it landed at Li Xinchen's feet, the head was still wide-eyed, obviously very unwilling to die, "I came in time!" ”

Li Xinchen bowed slightly, and Xiao Shilian led his subordinates to kill from the top of the mountain in time, which just blocked the way for He Louzigan to retreat to Liushugou, forcing He Louzigan to retreat to this small hill without knowing how many enemies there were, thus falling into a situation of being surrounded.

This was all not expected by Li Xinchen in advance, Xiao Shilian can have such a resilience, which shows that in this war, Xiao Shilian is also growing.

As if realizing that Li Xinchen was a little unhappy, Xiao Shilian said with a smile: "Shizhong, it is impossible to control everything, He Louzi fought from the south to the north, and it is reasonable to have some unexpected strain, otherwise Wei Xiaokuan would not have valued him so much, let him come first as your opponent." ”

Li Xinchen was stunned for a moment, to say that in this era, the person he has the most contact with is probably Xiao Shilian, and the two have been fighting side by side for even longer than Li Xinchen and his sister and Xiao Xiang have been together, not to mention that Li Lier and Xiao Xiang generally do not try to figure out Li Xinchen's thoughts on strategy and tactics.

So purely at the tactical level, the one who knows Li Xinchen best is Xiao Shilian. Li Xinchen was not particularly surprised that Xiao Shilian was able to say his thoughts and worries in one sentence, but said lightly:

"Our medical records are not dominant, but we just relied on our familiarity with the terrain to catch He Louzi off guard, just like walking on the tip of a knife, and any mistake may lead to the annihilation of the entire army."

Xiao Shilian couldn't help laughing: "You always think about the problem so complicated, even if this battle is defeated, let's hide in the mountains, is this He Louzi still have the heart to search the mountains?" Wait until the wind calms down and come out, we can still roll the tide again! ”

Li Xinchen glanced at him, and I have to say that this guy's happy attitude is really good. Footsteps sounded hurriedly, and Du Qi and Li Xun came together.

"Qi Qi two generals, most of the enemy's soldiers and horses have been dispersed," Du Qi said loudly, with an unconcealable joy in his voice, "Now there is only the enemy left on the hill in front of you, and the rest are all frightened birds, and if you give your subordinates half a day to clean up all the corners, they will definitely be able to capture them all alive." ”

Duzi never imagined that today would be such a big victory.
