Chapter 362: Beheading
Seeing that the Xichuan army was about to fight, a cautious person like Cui Huanchen could not help but show a touch of pride.
No matter what calculations they were making in their hearts, the heads of the families on the handsome stage tried their best to pretend to be smiling, thinking about how to congratulate the Cui family on this big victory for a while.
Only the two brothers of the Lu family were pale, trembling, and did not dare to look at the final result.
For the Lu family, the second child of Xichuan, only the Cui family will throw a rat trap when they are trying to maintain Xichuan's stability, once the Cui family completely controls Xichuan, or Xichuan is completely out of control, it is the time to deal with them, and it is strange that the two of them do not panic.
Cui Huanchen suddenly glanced at the appearance of the two, his heart was very happy, and he laughed: "Brother Lu's face is not good, is it because he is unwell?" ”
"Huh?"
Lu Linfeng seemed to wake up from a nightmare, looked around in a panic, and finally looked at Cui Huanchen for some reason.
Cui Huanchen saw that the once high-ranking head of the Lu family had turned into a frightened bird, and immediately laughed unscrupulously, and the people around him also laughed out loud.
Lu Linshan's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and lowered his head.
Cui Huanchen was laughing happily, but suddenly found that the laughter around him suddenly lowered rapidly, he came back to his senses, looked at the battlefield, and was shocked.
I don't know when nearly a hundred strange-shaped Apocalypse chariots suddenly appeared at the foot of the mountain, these chariots were divided into several teams, three or five chariots as a group, end to end, lined up in a long snake formation, like sharp arrows straight into the cavalry team, and after a while, the cavalry formation was cut into pieces.
The Apocalypse Chariot was originally designed to deal with heavy cavalry such as the Black Flag Army, with two or four horse-drawn carriages, with a conical anti-impact guardrail in front of the horse like the front face of the train, and the body was all made of thin steel plates, except that it was not fast enough, there were almost no weaknesses.
When the Apocalypse Chariot roared and collided head-on with the cavalry, not only was the only speed disadvantage minimal, but the impact on which the cavalry relied for its fame instantly became a joke.
After all, flesh and blood could not be the opponent of the steel torrent, and the "Gatling" crossbow bed kept spraying crossbow arrows, and the cavalry on the war horse immediately kept falling like ripe fruit.
It is undeniable that the Wuling pro-army is indeed brave in battle, and if it is replaced by other armies, at first glance, such a meat grinding machine may immediately give birth to a cowardly heart, but instead of retreating, this cavalry wants to surround the chariot with its numerical superiority.
But the generation difference in weapons can never be reversed by will alone, even if the Black Flag Army covered in iron can't help the Apocalypse Chariot under a head-on collision, let alone this light cavalry?
Not only that, but it was Zhang Zuofeng who commanded the Apocalypse Chariot to fight this time, and mentality aside, Zhang Zuofeng was definitely the most capable general under Xu Rui's account.
The army at his disposal was not only strong-willed and combat-ready, but also often able to formulate special tactics according to the characteristics of the enemy.
This time, the Apocalypse Chariot turned into a small force and attacked the cavalry from all directions, and the enemy generals did not expect the Apocalypse Chariot to be so strong, and missed the best time to retreat, and was bitten by Zhang Zuofeng and fought in a mess.
In this way, Zhang Zuofeng successfully avoided the most feared thing, that is, the cavalry used its speed advantage to bypass the dilemma of the Apocalypse chariot directly into the artillery position.
On the Shuai stage, seeing that the victory of the hand had a lot of variables, Cui Huanchen's face sank instantly, and at this moment, there was a fierce shout of killing around the Shuai Tai, and everyone on the stage suddenly became nervous.
"What's going on?"
Cui Huanchen's face sank and asked left and right.
"Report, the dead soldiers of the Zheng family are raiding Shuaitai!"
The herald general said to Cui Huanchen in a panic.
Cui Huanchen stared at the battlefield intently, waved his hand and said, "This governor must concentrate on observing the situation on the battlefield, and you can solve such small matters as soon as possible!" ”
Hearing this, the herald general stubbornly said: "Governor, the Cui family is menacing this time, presumably to give it a go, and please evacuate this place as soon as possible, don't leave an opportunity for the younger ones to take advantage of!" ”
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar on the handsome stage.
Cui Huanchen frowned: "It seems that Zheng Yinan's straw bale was still defeated by Zheng Yichen, but the Zheng family only has a dozen dead soldiers left, why can he make such a big move?" ”
The herald general shook his head: "The last general doesn't know, but the people who besieged Shuaitai are by no means a dozen, at least hundreds. ”
"What?!"
Cui Huanchen's face changed slightly, and he finally became serious.
Cui Changjiao, who was on the side, heard this, and hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Ancestor, the so-called gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, now the two armies are fighting at a critical moment, and the victory of our army is just around the corner, you can't make a mistake, please retreat to a safe place quickly, and continue to command the army!" ”
"Yes, ancestor, go quickly, as long as you are safe, the Cui family will be safe!"
Cui Changshun also agreed.
Cui Huanchen nodded helplessly, but his eyes suddenly fell on the two brothers of the Lu family beside him, both of them lowered their heads and did not dare to speak, but Cui Huanchen could see the sneer and mockery in their hearts.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Let's withdraw first and take these two people away!" ”
"What?"
As soon as the words fell, Lu Linfeng and Lu Linshan were immediately shocked, but the guards of the Cui family couldn't help but say something and forcibly pulled the two up.
Seeing this, Xiao Si, who followed them, seemed to be frightened in his heart, turned around and fled, but was naturally stopped by the guards.
He pointed to his two masters with a bitter face, and then pointed at himself, and kept pretending, as if to say: "I'm just a miscellaneous person, if you want to catch it, go and arrest the master." ”
Seeing this funny scene, Cui Huanchen's originally bad mood suddenly eased a little, and sneered: "The famous Lu family has raised some subordinates, take him with you, and let the two Lu masters take a good look." ”
The guards got the order and pushed Xiao Si violently, Xiao Si had to keep up with the iron-faced Erlu, as Cui Huanchen quickly evacuated Shuaitai, all the heads of the family present suddenly became a mess, but the guards blocked the exit of Shuaitai, no matter how panicked they were, they had to wait for death on Shuaitai.
When Cui Huanchen and his entourage came down, there were already guards waiting under Shuaitai, and fierce shouts and the sound of gold and iron clashing could already be heard nearby, obviously the battle to besiege Shuaitai was more fierce than expected.
The guards only waited for Cui Huanchen and his party to come down, and immediately held up a round shield for him and escorted him to a safe place.
However, the situation outside was too chaotic, and the team had just walked a few steps before they were blocked by another shouting and killing, and it seemed that there was a bitter battle all around, if Cui Huanchen hadn't sent people to surround Shuaitai in advance, I am afraid that they would have been served by someone at this moment.
But even if they were prepared, Cui Huanchen and his entourage were still blocked by the battle in a corner near Shuaitai, and everyone was huddled together.
"Grand Duke, it's all chaos here......"
The commander of the guards said to Cui Huanchen with a gloomy face.
Cui Huanchen groaned slightly: "The war waits for no one, you quickly lead people to open a passage, and the old man has to command the front-line battle as soon as possible, don't be lazy!" ”
"The last general obeys!"
The commander of the guards agreed, drew his long knife, and glanced at his subordinates, and the guards immediately divided half of their men and joined the battle group with the commander.
Cui Huanchen watched the guards go away, and his eyes once again fell on Erlu, who was following him, and a trace of murderous intent flashed.
Erlu's face changed slightly, and now the war is changing again, the greater the shadow of the Cui family's defeat, the higher the possibility of killing them, because once defeated, the Lu family will become the Cui family's biggest opponent, and the weak Cui family may not be able to easily destroy the Lu family at that time.
Right now, it's the most dangerous time for Erlu.
"Brother Lu, don't blame me, if it weren't for Xu Rui's sudden killing, when the old man completely pacified Xichuan, maybe you could let your Lu family continue to survive, but it's a pity that your life is not good, if you are a wronged soul, go to Xu Rui to seek justice!"
Sure enough, Cui Huanchen sneered and beckoned to the remaining guards.
Erlu's face suddenly changed greatly, and he subconsciously wanted to turn around and escape, but how could the guards around him let them get their wish, they immediately rushed up and rushed towards them, but there were only two people left by Cui Huanchen's side.
At this moment, two screams suddenly sounded, and the last two guards beside Cui Huanchen suddenly fell softly, and before everyone could react, a soft sword dripping blood hit Cui Huanchen's neck.
Cui Huanchen was shocked, and suddenly turned around, only to see that the person standing behind him was actually the Xiao Si of the Lu family.
said that it was Xiao Si, but she had already taken off the small hat on her head at the moment, revealing her hair, she was not only a woman, but also if someone who was familiar with Xu Rui could recognize it at a glance, this woman was Xu Rui's personal death soldier - Shadow Maiden!
