Chapter 261: Capture the thief and capture the king first

Hulun frowned, "You mean the cliff over there?" Is there someone on the cliff over there? How did you lose it so far? ”

Hulun didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly said loudly, "Don't panic, everyone, these are just jars filled with fire oil, try to avoid them, don't get caught in the fire." ”

Then Hulun left quickly, preparing to report to General Bahan, if there is an ambush on the cliff, you must be careful, and send someone over to the mountain to take a look.

It's just that Hulun just turned around, and a rain of arrows fell from the sky, and when they fell into the sky above the Xianbei army, those arrows suddenly caught fire and quickly shot into the Xianbei army.

This Xianbei army had just been doused with a wave of fire oil, and these rockets were shot down, not only shooting and injuring people, but also turning into a sea of fire in the middle of the Xianbei army in an instant.

Hulun quickly retreated to the side of General Bahan in the rear, and said, "General, it's fire oil, and what fell from the cliff is the oil drum." ”

Ba Han didn't have time to talk to Hulun, looked at the chaotic scene in front of him, and muttered to himself, "How is it possible, how is it possible?" ”

Hulun saw General Bahan's shocked expression, turned his head to look over, and his eyes widened in disbelief, "How could it be, I burned the arrow myself." ”

Those arrows suddenly ignited in mid-air, and then landed in the Xianbei army.

Bahan came back to his senses and quickly said to Hulun, "These arrows are all shot from the cliff behind, you should quickly take people to the cliff behind and wipe out the people on the cliff." ”

Hulun responded, did not dare to delay, and left quickly with people.

At this time, the Yanxi army, seeing that the inside of the Xianbei army suddenly turned into a sea of fire, was also a little inexplicable, and someone reacted first, and said excitedly, "There are reinforcements on the cliff behind." ”

So the morale of the Yanxi army was greatly boosted, and he instantly saw hope again, and stood with the Xianbei army in his spirit.

And when Hulun had just arrived at a valley behind Hongye Mountain with five thousand men and horses, countless Yanxi troops with tall strange shields suddenly appeared around in the darkness and merged them.

Hulun was shocked and said loudly, "There is an ambush, quickly, retreat quickly." ”

However, the ambush formation of the Yanxi army was like a gourd, and when they retreated, the mouth of the gourd was instantly tightened.

The high shield was raised, in such darkness, it was completely impossible to see how many people were hidden behind, the encirclement was tightened step by step, and the Xianbei army wanted to fight hard, but they were all a little confused, and they didn't know where to start.

Hulun and several leading leaders rushed out of the gourd mouth of the encirclement on horseback, and then they found that behind those shield soldiers, there was a circle of infantry with spears, and Su Jiayi and Lin Xiao led people to rush to Hulun and those leaders who were riding horses who escaped from the encirclement.

Su Wu commanded the iron shield soldiers over there, and at this time, in those encirclements, there were shouts and screams of the Xianbei army, but the Yanxi army was still silent, because the Xianbei army in the encirclement had no way to take the tall iron shield of the Yanxi army that could not be pierced, and the spears outside pierced directly from the spear holes on both sides of the shield to the Xianbei army inside, and the tighter and tighter encirclement made the Xianbei army have nowhere to hide, even if they wanted to turn out the shield array from above, there were archers waiting for them outside.

This was a completely one-sided massacre, and the 5,000 people of the Xianbei army were easily wiped out by the Yanxi army.

Several leaders behind Hulun were also killed by Lin Xiao and Su Jiayi, leaving only Hulun alone to flee back to the Xianbei camp, not that they couldn't catch Hulun, but deliberately let this person go, someone had to go back to report the news, and then send someone to come, so that they still had a chance to continue to ambush, and then they could attract more Xianbei troops.

At this time, the frontal battlefield, compared with the Yanxi army, the Xianbei army was more anxious.

On the side of the Yanxi Army, it was already a dead end anyway, and suddenly saw hope, and their morale was greatly boosted, and the big deal was also a death, which was completely a posture of fighting with the Xianbei Army.

But on the side of the Xianbei army, the sudden attack on the cliff made them suffer heavy losses, but seeing that the Yanxi army had been completely besieged by them and had lost their vitality, and there was still Zhou Shichun, the general of the Yanxi army, who withdrew like this, how could they be willing?

So Bahan pinned his hopes on Hulun, hoping that the people brought by Hulun could solve the reinforcements on the cliff as soon as possible.

It's just that Bahan didn't expect that Hulun would come back so quickly, and Hulun actually escaped back alone in embarrassment, Bahan looked at the embarrassed Hulun in shock and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Hulun's eyes were full of worry, and he said, "General, it's the group of people in Linzi County, they are really prepared, and they use a formation that I have never seen before to trap our group, and we have no power to fight back......"

Ba Han listened to Hulun's detailed description, and also frowned, pondered for a while, and then spoke, "Seeing that the Yanxi army is about to be completely annihilated, we must not retreat at this time, the Linzi County is at most 20,000 people, and the general does not believe that they can turn the tide of the battle, Ba Yu, you bring your 1,000 heroic iron cavalry, and then 5,000 cavalry, break through their formation, Hulun, you bring 20,000 infantry to follow, this time they are bound to be taken down, if you can't take them, you will give me a head." ”

Hulun said with some concern, "Let's use cavalry, what if they use the beast control technique again?" ”

Bahan's eyes narrowed slightly, "No, that beast control technique can obviously only make beasts crazy, not only will it hurt us, but it will also hurt them, now they don't have the protection of the city, they won't use this kind of lose-lose method." ”

And on the cliff at this time, another wave of attacks smashed down in the direction of the Xianbei army, this time it was not a fire oil barrel alive oil jar, nor a rocket, it can be said that the Xianbei army didn't know what it was, those things suddenly exploded when they reached the top of their heads, and then the sparks that exploded one by one, like the heavenly maiden scattered flowers, fell on their bodies in an instant, and instantly ignited their clothes that had already splashed with fire oil, they wanted to extinguish it, but it was extinguished on the back of their thighs. Extinguished the back and arm burned, in a hurry, in a mess, where is there still time and energy to continue to advance, but the Yanxi army took this opportunity to launch a round of counterattack.

General Zhou Xiao stood behind the Yanxi Army with a pale face, with a hint of joy on his face, and muttered in his mouth, "I really didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it." ”

The guards on the side stretched out their hands to support General Zhou Xiao, who was a little shaky, and asked suspiciously, "General, who do you say this reinforcement will be?" There are actually burning arrows, and those * barrels, which can be thrown so far. ”

General Zhou Xiao looked at the battlefield in front of him and said, "If I guessed correctly, it must be Deputy General Su who brought people over, I didn't expect them to be besieged by Xianbei's 100,000 army, they can hold out for so long, and now they can rescue us, but those things, I don't know how they came about, I'm afraid they met the masters in Linzi County." ”

When Hulun and Ba Yu led the people to the foot of the Red Leaf Mountain again, and when they passed through the valley, only a pile of corpses of the Xianbei army remained.

Hulun and Ba Yu both looked heartbroken, and finally bypassed the pile of corpses and bypassed them from both sides.

Ba Yu led the cavalry in the front, and Hulun walked in the back with 20,000 infantry, marching quickly from both sides of the corpse.

Ba Yu, who rushed to the front, sat down on the horse suddenly raised its hooves and neighed, and rushed forward quickly at a faster speed, with the shadow of the last time, Ba Yu was shocked, heartache, and shouted loudly to the cavalry behind, "Quick, kill the horses that sit down." ”

Those cavalrymen either knew or witnessed the consequences of the war horse's madness, so their subordinates did not hesitate to slaughter the sitting war horse.

So before the ambush soldiers could make a move, this Xianbei first slaughtered the horses that sat down, and when they found out the reason for the horses' madness, it was actually the thistle terrestris on the ground, which was simply gnashing his teeth in anger.

Deputy General Su and the others who were ambushed on the hillside, looking at the movement below, almost laughed out loud, they didn't expect that the battle outside Linzi City would leave such a big shadow on the Xianbei cavalry, and they also prepared a set of horse ropes in front of them, which was completely useless.

So Xianbei's 6,000 cavalry, all turned into infantry, 26,000 men, and cautiously continued to advance.

At this time, Lin Xiao quickly touched the rear of the Xianbei army with a thousand people, and the Xianbei army at this time had to deal with the Yanxi army's fierce counterattack, and from time to time he paid attention to what hidden weapons would be dropped on the cliff.

Lin Xiao took the thousand surprise soldiers wearing the battle armor of the Xianbei army and quickly approached the command platform behind the Xianbei army.

On the battlefield here, most of the people will set up a temporary command platform in the rear, with war drums on it, and the commanding officers will stand on the command platform, watch the battle situation in front of them, and issue military orders at all times.

This was convenient for Lin Xiao, he didn't need to find anyone at all, he just followed the sound of the war drums, and rushed to the command platform, and at this time, no Xianbei army found that there was a team of thousands of people wearing Xianbei armor, and they were inexplicably approaching the command platform.

By the time General Bahan found out that something was wrong, the entire command platform was already surrounded by a team of 1,000 people, and Bahan at that time did not realize that these people were not the Xianbei army, but frowned and said, "Which battalion are you from, and why are you all standing here?" ”

The 1,000 men quickly drew their sabers and rushed to the command platform, where several other leaders quickly gathered around Bahan and shouted, "There are assassins, hurry, protect the general." ”

This roar instantly attracted the attention of the surrounding Xianbei troops, and looked at the command platform, Lin Xiao and these thousand people, but they would not give them a chance, even if these generals were brave and fierce, they could not withstand the rapid attack of a thousand people, Lin Xiao had already made a quick move and controlled General Bahan, and several other generals were already dead or captured.
