Chapter 139: Nalan Ye is dead
When the serpent man's banner was cut down by a tomahawk, there was a cry from both north and south of the battlefield. One is cheering, the other is full of despair.
Lin Yi, who was standing at the head of the northern city of Huguan, breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment, his heart rose again.
I saw that the remnants of the snake people fled to the north, and the victorious Terran army was also in hot pursuit!
"Bang!"
Lin Yi smashed his fist on the gray city brick, scolded fiercely in his heart, and then turned his head and shouted: "Mingjin, Mingjin!" ”
"Let Captain Nalan collect his troops!"
Mo Forget, who was standing beside Lin Yi, hurriedly spoke out to stop him, and shouted: "Captain Lin, my family is the supreme commander of this pass, what qualifications do you have to let him withdraw his troops?"
"If you indiscriminately mingle with gold, you will only disturb the morale of the army. What if the remnants of the snake people take advantage of the situation to counterattack?"
Lin Yi looked at Mo Forget, who had a righteous face, gritted his teeth angrily, pointed to the outside of the city and said, "Mo Sima, don't you see, the snake people are luring Captain Nalan to leave Fox Pass!" ”
"It is very likely that the snake people have set up an ambush in the rear, and Captain Nalan may be ambushed at any time."
He took a few deep breaths, calmed down his excitement, approached Mo Wang's side, and said in a low voice:
"Mo Sima, Nalan Commander is a noble person, if something happens to him, we won't have any good fruit to eat—of course, Mo Sima is the person next to Nalan Commander, and he must be the first to be unlucky before me."
Mo Forget was dressed in red heavy armor, looked at Lin Yi with a straight face, as if he was moved by him, nodded slightly, and shouted to the soldiers on the side:
"Send someone to catch up with the captain, let the captain collect his troops, and don't chase after the poor."
Under the head of the city, a gap opened in the north gate of Huguan, and several light horsemen rode out and galloped towards the battlefield in the distance.
Looking at the several splashed dust, Lin Yi glanced at each other with several henchmen beside him, and they were all a lot more relaxed.
Taking care of that little son is too much effort. accidentally bumped into it, and the Nalan family didn't have to settle accounts with them.
But the subsequent situation made several people frown again, and the light knight who gave the order had arrived. But the Terran army in the distance had no intention of withdrawing its troops, and did not even stop its footsteps, and continued to pursue towards the north.
"Don't forget, it's all about"
Lin Yi questioned Mo Forget with some anger, and without waiting for him to answer, he ordered himself: "Pass on this captain's order, order A, C, D, and Ji to assemble under the north city wall." ”
Mo Mo looked into the distance, forced a smile on his face, and said, "Captain Lin, the snake people are just a rabble, so there is no need to worry too much. ”
"My family captain, hehe, my family captain is the best at military affairs, even if the snake people really have an ambush, they will only be broken by my family captain."
After Lin Yi finished giving the military order, he looked at Mo Forget a little strangely, and a few doubts quietly arose in his heart.
After a few days of understanding, he knew that Mo Forget did not become Sima because of his whiskers, but because he had real skills.
And that son of the world is a little difficult to explain......
Now that prince is out of the customs to fight, he may be ambushed and killed at any time. Don't forget that you are not anxious at all, but do things slowly - as if you are deliberately delaying time!
This sudden thought made his pupils shrink, and a cold sweat oozed from his back.
A big family like the Nalan family has intricate internal forces, and infighting is naturally indispensable. Could it be that this one in front of him has been bought by the rest of the Nalan family
Lin Yi has not only seen the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, but he can sit in the high position of the captain, and naturally he has also seen countless treacherous things.
But no matter what reputation the Nalan family makes, the son of the Nalan family will definitely not die on his territory!
He turned his head to look at Nalan Xu and Nalan Fugui, and said in a deep voice: "If you don't gather your subordinates, are you going to go out of the city to help Nalan Duwei?"
Nalan Xu hadn't yet noticed the danger outside the pass, and looked at the dusty battlefield from afar, only feeling his blood boiling, and said a little excitedly:
"Brother Ye is really mighty, no wonder he can be made the son of the world. So I gathered my men and went out of the city to fight alongside him. ”
"Nalan Xu, without the military order of the captain, how dare you go to war without authorization?"
But a cold low drink woke him up, and Jun Zheng Cheng Nalan Xiao, dressed in black clothes and black hat, looked at him coldly.
Nalan Xu suddenly didn't dare to make a mistake, and he was still a little scared in the face of the people in the Criminal Law Hall.
Nalan Wei looked at Lin Yi again, but Lin Yi didn't care, glanced at him expressionlessly, and walked to the inside of the city. In the open space below, the four thousand fox pass defenders were gathering.
It's just that 4,000 people is not a small number, even if they are all elite border troops, they can't be assembled well for a while, and many generals and colonels are shouting back and forth.
The battlefield is teleporting and changing, but this delay, the two armies in the distance fled and chased, and disappeared under the horizon one after another, disappearing from everyone's sight.
In the northeast, there was a lot of dust in the sky, and a large number of snake people emerged from below the horizon, like a tide flooding several nearby sand dunes, and the front line was several miles wide.
"Captain, a second army of snake people has appeared in the northeast!"
Seeing the day's complexion change, he practiced fighting skills that specifically increased his eyesight. At this time, staring at it, large drops of cold sweat continued to ooze from his face.
Another army of snake people has appeared, and it has been determined that the snake people have really set up an ambush outside the pass - Nalan Ye is in danger!
Lin Yi's body trembled, walked quickly to the outside of the city, stared at it, and asked in a deep voice: "How many snake people are there?"
"At least five thousand!"
Seeing that Ri was Lin Yi's cronies, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, lowered his voice and said, "Captain, they stopped more than ten miles away and stopped advancing—I can't see behind the sand dunes, and if there are more snake people hidden behind them!" ”
Lin Yi put the hilt of his sword on his right hand and looked at the snake man army that had just appeared more than ten miles to the northeast. They are like a vicious wolf staring at them, restraining Fox Pass from afar, so that the defenders of Fox Pass do not dare to act rashly.
Because at this time, if he wants to go out of the pass to aid Nalan Ye, he must divide the army into three parts: one to stay at the Fox Pass, one to block the five thousand snake people, and one to aid Nalan Ye.
With the addition of Nalan Ye, the entire Fox Pass garrison will be divided into four parts, and there will be no effective assistance and cover between each department.
However, the snake people outside the pass can make great achievements, or concentrate their forces to encircle and suppress a group, or encircle and send reinforcements - at that time, not only Nalan Ye is dangerous, but the entire fox pass is in danger!
"Send scouts out of the city to find out the number and movements of the snake people!"
Lin Yi calmed down and said in a deep voice. Fox Pass has too little information about Tagore and too little vision. But there is no way, Huguan has always been a passive defense, rarely takes the initiative to attack, and naturally will not risk sending scouts to the north to investigate.
If it weren't for some people who underestimated the enemy, where would Huguan fall into such a passive situation
According to the pass, what is the use of more snake conspiracy, it is not necessary to attack the city with a knife and a gun
The north gate of Fox Pass was opened again, and this time hundreds of light knights poured out. They divided into two teams, left and right, intending to make a detour back to the rear of the 5,000 snake men to reconnoitre.
But the snake people naturally didn't look at it, and they scattered more than two hundred elite snake people. These snake men are unable to ride mounts, but they rely on a snake tail and can move no more slowly in the sand than a war horse.
Suddenly, in the golden sand sea north of Fox Pass, a bloody battle between scouts suddenly broke out. The light knight rode his horse like a flying swallow, and the killing crossbow was fired one after another, and a famous snake man was killed or injured.
But the snake people were not weak, and with the blessing of their fighting spirit, they easily slashed the distance of two hundred paces with their javelins, stabbing a light knight off his horse.
More brutal melee combat ensued, and the Light Knights were outnumbered compared to the number of Serpents.
Although they kept detouring to both sides, they were constantly stopped by the snake people, and they couldn't go around to the rear of the snake people army to reconnoitre.
The battle was extremely fierce, so it was short-lived. In less than two quarters of an hour, all the one hundred and one light knights who had left the customs were killed, blood stained red and yellow sand, and only dozens of remaining war horses were left to mourn and neigh.
At the head of the fox pass city, there was silence.
Lin Yi gritted his teeth, and his body collapsed extremely tightly. There were still 14,000 soldiers in the city, and this was the time when he had the most soldiers and horses, but he could not do anything at this time.
"Don't forget, Lin Yi, quickly send troops to rescue Brother Ye!"
At this time, Nalan Xu finally realized that he had discovered the danger outside the city, and he couldn't care about the humility of the upper and lower levels, and shouted in a hissed voice.
Lin Yi glanced at him and shouted coldly: "Without this captain's order, no one is allowed to send troops without authorization, otherwise the military law will deal with it." ”
Nalan Xu was about to split, so he wanted to rush up to reason with Lin Yi, but this city was almost full of fox pass guards, where could he be presumptuous
He looked at Mo Forget, Nalan Fugui and Nalan Xiao again, Nalan Fugui and Nalan Yu did not speak, and Mo Yu said:
"There is an army of snake people outside the city, and they can't rush to the aid of the captain."
Nalan Xu became a little desperate, went crazy, and cursed, but was quickly restrained.
The wind was howling, the horses were neighing, and the clouds were stirring in the northern sky, as if there was an invisible resentment and blood rushing to the sky.
I don't know how long it took, maybe an hour, maybe two hours, a few black dots appeared on the northern horizon, and they were a few snake people.
The first snake man was holding a three-foot tall sword in his hand. On the flag with black lines on a red background and full of arrow holes, you can still distinguish the two big characters:
Nalan.
Nalan Xu looked at the big man from afar, and cried out with a wow, tears flowing, and choked up: "Brother Ye, Brother Ye, how are you ...... I will avenge you, avenge you! ”
He struggled frantically, pressing his two colonels to let go.
Lin Yi also had a gloomy face, and the last thing he wanted to happen finally happened.
"Beat the drums, go to war!"
Sitting at the border, he can even fly into trouble. He couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and roared loudly!
Nalan Ye is dead, and the passive situation of Huguan is swept away. With 6,000 soldiers, he was able to hold the fox pass for several years, and now there are 14,000 soldiers in the city, how can he not go out of the city to fight
But the snake man didn't give him a chance to fight back, and there was a low horn sound in the distance, and the five thousand snake people who had been facing Fox Pass for a long time in the northeast slowly retreated.
And a few snake people from the north also threw the broken big silk in their hands everywhere, smiled fiercely at Fox Pass, and reflexively returned to the depths of Tagore.
