Chapter 555: The moon shines like water
A little moonlight fell on the clearing through the branches and leaves, and one bonfire after another lit up the mountains and forests.
The aroma of the food drifts with the evening breeze to a small hillside not far away.
There was not a single light or sound on the hillside, but everyone knew that there were hundreds of lives and hundreds of enemies there, and now they were suffering from hunger and cold.
Li Xinchen had already interrogated the prisoners, and He Louzigan only carried two or three days of grain and grass, and after the twists and turns of the war, even the soldiers themselves must not have much to carry with them, and how dry and difficult to swallow was when there was no water source, everyone had experienced it.
Especially when the aroma of steaming food wafts to the nose, no one will feel good when they look at the dry and cold dry food in their hands.
Li Xinchen stood under the big tree, gently wiping his sword, and the wind and grass on the hillside not far away were in his afterglow. Xiao Shilian was bored and gently tapped his palm, this was already the second day of surrounding He Louzi, He Louzi couldn't survive, Li Xinchen had no intention of continuing to attack, everyone was in such a stalemate.
Originally, Xiao Shilian naively thought that he would lead the army out for a walk, and when he came back, he might be able to see He Louzi with his hands on his sleeve, and the hillside was replaced by Cao Xiaoda, but he was disappointed.
Spit out the grass roots in his mouth, Xiao Shilian raised his eyes and looked at the hillside in the darkness ahead, the surrounding woods were full of heavily guarded Ba people, Li Xinchen divided the entire encirclement into regional arrangements, focusing on tight inside and loose outside, and He Louzigan could obviously see the key to this, so he couldn't go down the mountain in the past two days.
Glancing at Li Xinchen's silhouette in the firelight, Xiao Shilian sighed.
This guy is really ruthless, Li Xinchen ordered all the pots and stoves to be moved forward before, and now the aroma of this meal can completely float to the opposite hillside, which is really enough for the Northern Zhou army on the mountain to drink a pot.
If Xiao Shilian and He Louzi were to deal with each other, rather than suffer such suffering, he would rather choose to lead the army down the mountain to fight to the death, and it is better to die in battle than to starve to death.
"Do you really think He Louzi will sit back like this?" Xiao Shilian asked thoughtfully.
Li Xinchen's hand paused, and said lightly: "Going down the mountain is death for He Louzigan, if you stay on the hillside honestly, maybe you may be rescued by reinforcements." This little bit of relationship He Louzi is still clear, but it's just ······"
"Just what?" Xiao Shilian suddenly cheered up.
Li Xinchen raised his sword, and the blade reflected the firelight, which also reflected his face. Compared with when he first arrived, this face is more stable and mature.
After so much blood and fire, Xiao Shilian is growing, why not Li Xinchen?
"It's just that it can't be ruled out that He Louzi will be able to go off the rails." Li Xinchen suddenly shook his wrist, the blade of the sword turned, and the moonlight and firelight sprinkled on the blade at the same time, the moonlight was like water, and the fire was like practice, "After all, He Louzigan is also a person who has always been unable to sit still, but I don't know if this time has made him have a longer memory." ”
Li Xinchen didn't say much, but his meaning was already very clear, even if He Louzigan was very clear about the situation in front of him, maybe he would have some novel and bold ideas, at least it was not his character to sit back and wait for death.
Xiao Shilian stood up, and a sharp sound sounded in the other direction of the hillside. The sounds of fighting and roaring were loud in the silence of the night.
Li Xinchen squinted slightly, still motionless. And Xiao Shilian looked back in surprise: "Shizhong, there must have been a fight over there!" ”
"Let's fight when it starts," Li Xinchen looked at the sword in his hand unhurriedly, not very nervous about it, "Is there a problem?" ”
Xiao Shilian raised his eyebrows and stomped his feet: "You······ You're fine, right? ”
Li Xinchen raised his eyes and looked at it, and asked with a smile: "You have seen all the armor of a certain one, do you think there is anything wrong?" ”
This sentence stopped Xiao Shilian at once, he smiled and scratched his head: "This is ······"
Although Li Xinchen did not attack this hillside, he was not idle, and it can be said that a net of heaven and earth has been set up in the surrounding mountains and forests, and with He Louzigan's hundreds of remnants of the defeated generals, it is impossible to get out of this net of heaven and earth.
If there is any weak link, it is probably the position where Li Xinchen is standing at this time, this is close to the direction of Liushugou, and the trees are sparse, if you choose to break through, this is definitely the best choice.
"The sound of the east strikes the west, and the tiger is turned away from the mountain?" Li Xinchen clenched the hilt of his sword.
He Louzigan chose the direction with the most complete defense system and the direction leading to the deep mountains as the main direction of attack, what was he planning?
Hearing what Li Xinchen said, Xiao Shilian also cheered up.
And before Xiao Shilian could speak, a flash of light suddenly appeared in the darkness ahead, obviously the blade reflected the moonlight, and then a figure rushed towards him!
"Protect the General!" Li Ping subconsciously took two steps, and the knife in his hand was raised upward, directly blocking the oncoming enemy.
"Kill!" In the dark grass, dozens of Northern Zhou soldiers jumped up, and at the same time slaughtered towards the nearest fire pyre to them!
"I'm still a little capable." Li Xinchen exclaimed in a low voice.
Sure enough, as he expected, this is the real goal of He Louzigan, but the "sound of the east and the west" of He Louzi has not achieved the actual effect after all.
However, Li Xinchen also had to admit that these Northern Zhou soldiers were able to quietly erase the Ba people who were sentry in front of them and rush directly in front of him, and they still had some skills.
Of course, for He Louzigan, the arrow is on the string, and he has to send it, since this battle has begun, it is no longer in He Louzigan's grasp, he can only guide, he can't stop.
Li Xinchen would not give him this opportunity.
As for how to raise the vigilance of these Pakistani people and enable them to truly understand what a sentry should do, these are all things that Li Xinchen has no time to do now, and can only wait until after the war. Now Li Xinchen needs to fight this battle well.
"Put!" Xiao Shilian waved his hand neatly.
The crossbowmen who had been waiting for a long time stood up at the same time, either from the grass, from behind the rocks, or even from the trees.
Li Xinchen arranged the most crossbowmen in the most sparse place in the woods, just waiting for He Louzigan's attack.
The arrows whizzed, sinking directly into the enemy's chest in the moonlight.
A platoon of Northern Zhou soldiers fell screaming, but the people behind rushed up. The generals behind them still gave the order to move forward.
Li Xinchen lifted the Ziyun gun beside him, while Xiao Shilian raised the knife.
"Stop them?" Li Xinchen smiled.
"Not so." Xiao Shilian rolled his eyes.
The moonlight landed on the blades and armor of the two, dragging a long shadow on the ground.
