Chapter 467: One Step Late

Li Xinchen glanced at the flag that was already fluttering in the wind overhead, and then turned around. Cao Zhong didn't know what Li Xinchen meant, and he was inevitably a little nervous.

He has worked hard for so long, in fact, the only one who really appreciates and promotes him is Li Xinchen, so if Li Xinchen is disappointed in him, then this career will come to an end.

"The battle at the West River Crossing was fought well, and if you hadn't contained it properly just now, I'm afraid there would have been no way to defeat the enemy so quickly." Li Xinchen said with a smile, which can be regarded as reassuring Cao Zhong.

Cao Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "General, now that the Heavenly Palace Courtyard has arrived, how should we arrange it next?" โ€

"There are also a lot of casualties among the brothers under him, let the brothers rest and rest, and can you still draw out soldiers and horses there?" Li Xinchen asked thoughtfully.

Cao Zhong was stunned for a moment: "Is the general going to attack Panlong County directly?" โ€

Although Li Xinchen has now taken the Tiangong Courtyard, he is definitely tired after a long battle. Cao Zhong's soldiers and horses also rushed to attack the Xihe crossing, and then attacked the Tiangong Courtyard, and they never stopped for a moment, so Li Xinchen asked this question, and he was really not easy to answer.

Cao Zhong was steady by nature, and he still had a certain resistance to using a tired army to directly attack the fortress that the enemy was concentrating on. This Tiangongyuan Mountain is already so difficult to overcome, and Panlong County is even more conceivable.

Li Xinchen narrowed his eyes: "We haven't finished this battle yet." โ€

"What does the general mean?" Cao Zhong couldn't react for a while.

"Guo Liang is still on the mountain, and he must be taken down in order to completely control this Tiangong Courtyard Mountain." Li Xinchen replied in a deep voice, "The people under your command who can still move must be assembled, and now is not the time to rest." โ€

"The last general obeys!" Cao Zhong's heart was awe-inspiring, and he hurriedly bowed his hand.

Li Xinchen turned around directly: "Hurry up and clean up the battlefield!" โ€

Du Qi's heart was dripping blood, he didn't know how long he would have to hold on, but he knew that if Guo Liang attacked like this at any cost, then the two hundred Pu soldiers he had carefully selected would have to be explained here.

If Pu people want to gain a foothold in Li Xinchen's system, it is certain that they will make sacrifices, but in Du Qi's eyes, it is impossible not to feel distressed.

The Ba people are warlike, these soldiers from the Pu tribe did not tarnish the prestige of their ancestors, and on the narrow mountain road, the Pu people went forward and one after another, and people continued to fall, and there were soldiers who continued to come up. This thin line of defense, though crumbling, has not really been breached. There were even a few times when the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty had rushed up the hillside, but they were hugged by the Pu soldiers and rolled down the hillside!

And Guo Liang, who led the team to rush to the front at the beginning, would have left his life on the hillside if it weren't for his personal guards.

It can be said that this small hillside, when you step on it, all that oozes out is the blood of the Pu people.

"Young Patriarch, if we support it for another half an hour, I'm afraid everyone will have to die here!" A bloodied general was already crying in his voice, "Young patriarch, withdraw!" The subordinates personally led the troops to cover the young patriarch! โ€

Du Qi's two hundred men, a total of two generals, and another brother of his same clan, had fallen at this time, and this one was also scarred.

Shaking his head, Du Qi said in a deep voice: "I didn't receive an order or see ยทยทยทยทยทยท"

At this point, Du Qi's eyes suddenly lit up.

Although the battle on the hillside in front of him was tense, Du Qi still knew how long he could hold it, so he actually kept looking at the direction of the main peak not far away, waiting for Li Xinchen to raise the flag from there.

And now, he has seen the flag that is slowly rising!

The main peak camp was conquered by Li Xinchen!

In an instant, Duzi's hands were shaking.

"Young Patriarch?" The general asked in a low voice, and he also noticed the raised flag, which was an order for the Pu people to retreat.

Footsteps sounded in a hurry, and two Li Xinchen's subordinates rushed over with their men and horses. With a sweep of their eyes, the two of them knew how tragic and tenacious Pu Ren's fight was, and they couldn't help but put away the contempt in their hearts. These Pu people, whom they originally thought could only be used as scouts to spy on intelligence, proved with their own blood that they were also fearless in war.

"Young Patriarch!" The leading general saluted respectfully, "The main camp has been taken, the general ordered you to retreat, we will take over the defense and block Guo Liang!" โ€

Du Qi nodded and returned the salute: "There are two Laos." โ€

The general solemnly bowed his head, and immediately turned his head and shouted: "It's all with so-and-so!" โ€

He rushed up the hill with his sword, and the soldiers behind him followed with a shout.

They had been in reserve in the previous attack, and now they finally waited for the opportunity to go into battle and kill the enemy.

"Kill!" The building rushed up the hill in three steps and two steps, slashed over a Northern Zhou soldier with a knife, and then crashed into the crowd, forcing two Northern Zhou people who wanted to trap a Pu soldier to retreat again and again. And there were constantly figures around him who crossed and rushed forward.

The Pu pawn gasped for breath and glanced at the general gratefully. The general made an appreciative gesture at him, and immediately swung his knife and rushed into the crowd again. At this time, the estrangement that had been vaguely established between the Ba and Han Chinese had disappeared.

"Killed so many of us, now we Pu people can't say anything and watch the excitement from the side!" Du Qi said coldly, striding up the hillside, "Brother Puren, follow so-and-so!" โ€

The Pu people also killed their blood, and at this time they heard Du Qi's shout, and at the same time raised their arms and shouted, following Du Qi closely. There are only fifty or sixty Pu people left, but now that they have a strategic advantage, and so many brothers have fallen here, it seems that it is impossible to kill a few more Northern Zhou people, so these Pu people roared and followed Du Qi down the hill.

A full two or three hundred people suddenly poured down from the hillside, and the Northern Zhou soldiers who were originally preparing to attack were caught off guard and directly scattered.

And Guo Liang was holding a knife and preparing to arrange the next round of attacks, when he saw the enemy killed from the hillside, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his eyes subconsciously looked higher. Although the wind was still very strong, the snow had stopped, and his vision soon widened, so Guo Liang quickly found the flag fluttering on the main peak camp.

Although he couldn't read the words clearly, the red flag clearly told him that this main peak camp was no longer his.

Guo Liang's eyes were dark, and the sky was spinning.

I worked so hard to fight, but after all, it was a step too late!

"Kill!" The sound of killing came in an instant, although there were only more than two hundred soldiers and horses in Nan Chen, but they still killed along the mountain road.

What kind of crazy people are these? Guo Liang only had a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

"Kill!" The earth-shattering sound of killing sounded from behind him, covering the mountains and fields, and I don't know how many enemies there were. Li Xun, the patriarch of the people, appeared on the mountain road with a knife, and when he saw the enemy in front of him, he swung his knife fiercely, "It's not too timely, kill it!" โ€
