Chapter 374: Prey
In other words, Xiao Shilian's prey is not the defenders of Lao Yashan at all, but their support army. Before he came back to his senses, the Nan Chen soldier at the front had already crashed into the panicked Northern Zhou array!
The Northern Zhou soldiers, who had been marching on the road in scattered formations, were undoubtedly taken by surprise, and more importantly, they did not expect that the enemy would hide in this wilderness where they could see the horizon, so they did not have much vigilance at all.
Or maybe Xiao Shilian didn't plan to ambush them at all, he was just looking for a place where he could create an opportunity for the two sides to encounter.
It can be said that when Xiao Shilian's soldiers and horses appeared in front of this Northern Zhou army, the disparity in strength and fighting spirit could already make this battle without suspense.
"Kill!" Xiao Shilian slashed over a Northern Zhou soldier with a knife, didn't care about the blood spilled at all, and rushed straight to the next opponent. And the guards around him did not hesitate to solve the enemy in front of him as quickly as possible, and closely followed Xiao Shilian's pace!
The soldiers of Nan Chen in the rest of the directions also saw Xiao Shilian's figure of moving forward bravely, as well as the general flag that had been flying high at the front of the team, and suddenly broke out with a shout, constantly breaking through the enemy's weak defense line.
Soon, these Nanchen soldiers who crashed into the enemy's formation in groups of three or five converged into streams, and these streams converged into torrents in an instant, led by Xiao Shilian, rushing and roaring in the entire Northern Zhou queue, and no one could stop them!
The sound of drums still echoed under the hills in the distance, and I don't know how many Nan Chen's soldiers were pouring out from all over the hiding place, rushing towards the panicked enemy. Because the hiding places were different, far and near, these soldiers no longer bothered to look for their superiors when they rushed out, and rushed directly to the enemy who was being slaughtered right there.
If it's too late, the battle will be over!
Because Lao Yashan is in the east of Bajun City, even if it is a slow march, two days of effort is enough, plus it is to support rather than attack, so this team of Northern Zhou soldiers and horses did not carry baggage at all when they went out of the city, and at this time they could only rely on a few large shields.
The shield formed a ring in front of the captain, who was already frightened at this time. He had been prepared to leave the army and run away at any time, but obviously Xiao Shilian did not intend to give him this opportunity.
Not only has Xiao Shilian's general flag advanced to a place close at hand, but it is definitely impossible for the Nanchen army that rushed out from all directions to let go of such a big fish as him.
And the battle master next to the captain also wants to cry without tears, this battle is obviously a knife for killing chickens.
Xiao Shilian kicked away the shield in front of him, and the Northern Zhou soldier holding the shield was trembling with his own hands and feet, and it would be good to be able to hold the shield steadily. And as the already crumbling shield defense line revealed a hole, the Nan Chen soldiers who had been waiting for a long time rushed up, cutting melons and vegetables to the ground.
Xiao Shilian wiped his blade with his sleeve, and glanced at the corpses everywhere with disgust, these are the ones that can't be found in the question that belong to Nan Chen's soldiers. And the captain of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, who was obviously in charge of commanding this team, was trembling and kneeling on the ground, looking at him with sincere fear.
Squatting down, Xiao Shilian asked with interest, "Are you going to support Lao Yao Mountain?" ”
The lieutenant just glanced at Xiao Shilian, rolled his eyes, and fainted directly, but it frightened Xiao Shilian's tense guards around him. And Xiao Shilian was stunned for a moment, smiled indifferently, and then turned his head to look at the battle master next to him, that guy looked much bolder than this captain:
"Then you answer that question."
The battle master swallowed a mouthful of spit, and the bright blades around him reflected the sunlight, so that he didn't even dare to look directly: "Zhang Tingshi asked us to support Lao Yao Mountain, and by the way, monitor the general." ”
"Flutter." Xiao Shilian finally couldn't help laughing, and the surrounding Nanchen soldiers laughed even more when they heard this, but the Northern Zhou prisoners who were honestly kneeling on the ground didn't dare to distinguish anything, after all, they themselves knew that this was indeed a bit self-defeating.
"Zhang Tingshi is mediocre and incompetent, as a general, I can't persuade him, so I can only follow orders." The lord hurriedly explained, and kowtowed again and again, "Please also ask the general to be gracious, and the small ones are on them."
"There is an old mother, a wife and children, okay!" Xiao Shilian interrupted him impatiently, "Let's talk about it, what is the situation between Bajun and Lao Yashan?" If you say it well, you can also consider putting you back so that you can see your relatives again, and if there is a deviation in what you say, be careful of your head. ”
The lord did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly told everything he knew.
"So there are only more than 500 people in Bajun City?" Xiao Shilian couldn't help muttering, raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but chuckle, it was really in vain that he used a knife to kill chickens.
And a general next to him couldn't help but say curiously: "General, are we going to fight Bajun next?" ”
"We don't have ladders and rushing cars, what are we going to fight Ba County," Xiao Shilian smiled, "There are only five hundred people in Ba County, which means that they really don't have the strength to threaten our flank and rear, and the next important thing is to take down Lao Ya Mountain, otherwise we will always be just a lone army." ”
The general nodded as if he didn't understand, and Xiao Shilian rubbed his hands: "Let the brothers have a good rest, let's prepare for another big fight!" ”
The arrows whistled overhead, and Li Ping shouted loudly to his soldiers while blocking in front of Li Xinchen, nervously raising his shield, for fear that which arrow would not be long-sighted, and rushed directly to Li Xinchen's chest.
There are never a few famous generals who have been injured on the battlefield.
"Don't be so nervous, you don't have to look at where the arrows are flying overhead." Li Xinchen patted Li Ping's shoulder funny.
The enemy's arrows were mainly concentrated on the building ship in front, so although the building ship where Li Xinchen was now, that is, the flagship of the entire fleet, was already within the range of the enemy's arrows, it was not favored.
For the enemy, that building ship has already rushed in front of him, even if it is a big prey in the back, it is useless. What's more, it is uncertain who is the prey and who is the hunter now.
"General, war report." Cao Zhong quickly ran up to Feilu and stretched out his hand to hand the battle report to Li Xinchen.
Li Xinchen was stunned for a moment, the news from Lao Yashan Mountain, the two sides have been in contact with scouts, so there is no need for a war report at all, of course, this war report can only be Xiao Shilian's.
Huo Qi pried it open, just glanced at the content of the letter, Li Xinchen showed a smile: "Xiao Boqing's movements are really fast, I'm afraid I want to swallow the entire enemy of Lao Ya Mountain before we arrive?" ”
