Li Xinchen took advantage of the sudden weakening of the opponent's arrows, hurriedly jumped out, grabbed Lechang's wrist next to him, and took her with him, Lechang obviously hadn't recovered from this sudden attack, and was directly dragged into his arms by Li Xinchen.

A few arrows brushed Lechang's hair that was still dancing powerlessly in the wind, cutting a few hairs, and also feeling the whistling wind behind her, Princess Lechang subconsciously hugged Li Xinchen, and her heart jumped. As soon as Li Xinchen turned around, blocking all the directions where the arrows might fly over, he said in a low voice:

"The right to be in a hurry, if you are offended, please forgive your Highness."

Princess Lechang also came back to her senses, quickly let go of her hand, lifted the veil, her pretty face was flushed, and the gaze shot in her eyes was extremely complicated, she also knew that if it wasn't for Li Xinchen's quick eyes just now, I am afraid that she would have been stained with blood a long time ago. This person's figure still obscured all his sight at this time, and also blocked all enemies.

It's like a mountain.

"What's going on?!" Losing his shield, Xiao Shilian shouted at Cao Zhong with red eyes, "Where did these enemies come from?" ”

Cao Zhongdeng also shook his head with a bitter face: "There are only one or two roads leading to the top of the opposite mountain, all of which are blocked by our army, so it stands to reason that it shouldn't be." ”

The previous sound of the cowhide drum was obviously to inform the army under the mountain on the opposite bank to attack the top of the mountain, and soon the figures coming and going were seen on the top of the opposite mountain, and it was obvious that the Nan Chen army was fighting with these sudden enemies.

"It means that the enemy is more familiar with the terrain here than we are." Li Xinchen said in a deep voice, he had just taken Lechang to a safe place and let her stay with Chen Shubao, so he hurriedly ran over, "They know the rest of the road. Now is not the time to say that,"

"This is impossible, if it is someone from Yangzhou Assassin History······" Cao Zhong looked surprised, and said a little anxiously, he never thought that he had laid a net of heaven and earth, and the enemy would still have a chance to take advantage of it.

"Whoever said that it must be someone from Yangzhou Assassin History!" Li Xinchen's expression was serious, the enemy came out at this time, not only Cao Zhong's dereliction of duty, but also his Li Xinchen's dereliction of duty, "You dare to guarantee that Wei Chi Yuan will not interfere sideways?" ”

Cao Zhong opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a while. Indeed, as Li Xinchen said, the killers sent by the Yangzhou Assassin are indeed unfamiliar, but the elite scouts under Wei Chi Yuan must know everything about the mountains and rivers in this area, and if they make a move, it is reasonable to find the flaws.

"Nothing else, cheer up, our enemies must be more than these!" Li Xinchen said intently, and before he finished speaking, there was a shout on the hillside.

"Enemy attack!"

The body of a Nan Chen soldier rolled down the hillside and down to the shield. And more Nan Chen soldiers were shouting and rushing up the hillside. Several figures wearing the armor of the Northern Zhou army appeared in the field of vision, fighting with the Southern Chen soldiers.

"Barbarian?" Xiao Shilian couldn't help blurting out, "Could it really be Wei Chi's person?" ”

"Looking at the posture of these people, they are not like the black-clothed killers we met outside Yangzhou City before, but more like scout veterans sharpened on the battlefield." Li Xinchen frowned and said.

Chen Zhishen also poked his head out to take a look, he had been training recruits for a long time, and he had a certain understanding of all kinds of teams, so he nodded suddenly: "These guys pay more attention to formations, and they have a well-founded approach to advance and retreat, like the enemies we encountered in Zhangshan City before." ”

"It's hilarious." Li Xinchen sneered, and immediately felt a little more worried in his heart, these enemies who were more like the scouts of the Northern Zhou Dynasty proved that the people who came before him were very likely to be sent by Wei Chi Hui to send troops and horses, but in this way, those people sent by the Yangzhou Assassin Shi have not been traced so far.

When and where will they choose to attack?

It is really not a good situation for the enemy to be beaten passively.

"General, there are too many enemies, it is estimated that there must be one or two hundred, and they are coming too quickly!" A general shouted loudly, his voice was already a little hoarse, "General Dare to cover His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to leave first, and we can let go of our hands and feet!" ”

Li Xinchen nodded solemnly: "Boqing, you take the two Highnesses to go first, our numbers are superior, but now we don't dare to disperse too many soldiers and horses, for fear of hurting the two Highnesses." ”

For Li Xinchen and them, these scouts can completely rely on the army to exterminate, and their more important task is to cover the safe retreat of Chen Shubao and Lechang.

Xiao Shilian immediately stepped forward: "Shizhong, I'll go, you escort ·······"

"Cao Zhong!" Li Xinchen didn't give Xiao Shilian a chance at all, in other words, now that the person who assassinated the history of Yangzhou has not appeared, he doesn't dare to guarantee whether the situation will continue to deteriorate, so he doesn't dare to hand over such an important task to others easily.

"The last general!" Cao Zhong hurriedly answered, his eyes were red, and he stared at the enemies who kept rushing up the hill from the other side, eager to eat these damn guys alive.

"Our troops are now on the top of the opposite hill, and it is estimated that it will take some effort to make a detour, so now we can only rely on us." Li Xinchen said in a deep voice, "Lao Tzu will give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, and with a stick of incense, take down the hillside you left down for Lao Tzu!" ”

Cao Zhong did not answer this time, but jumped straight out, grabbed Nan Chen's red flag, and shouted: "Brothers, follow me!" ”

"Kill!" Several generals who also knew that their lives had been completely tied to this hillside raised their arms and shouted to keep up with Cao Zhong. The Nan Chen soldiers, who had been pressed by the sudden enemy from the top of the hill to the halfway point of the mountain, also shouted at the same time to charge upwards again.

Looking at the figures of Cao Zhong and the others, Li Xinchen frowned.

The other party's command was very clever, first using the crossbowmen on the top of the opposite bank to attract the attention of the Nanchen army, and the real killing move was still behind this hillside, when the attention of all the Nanchen soldiers and crossbowmen was concentrated on the top of the mountain on the opposite bank, it was the time for this killing move to be released.

Such a clever and simple sound was enough for Cao Zhong's soldiers to be driven down the hillside by surprise.

Of course, Li Xinchen didn't plan to blame Cao Zhong, after all, how many people the enemy would have and where he would attack from, he didn't know at all, Cao Zhong's previous arrangement could already be said to be strict, but how could the huge Huarong Dao be able to do it without leaking?

It was impossible for Nan Chen to mobilize all the troops to this place and turn over every inch of land.

"Boqing, you go and protect Your Highness." Li Xinchen turned to say in a deep voice, but then he saw that at the end of the line, several red flags of Nanchen fell for no reason!

"Not good!" Xiao Shilian, who also found abnormalities, changed his face greatly.
