Chapter 450: Fighting Generals Fight for Morale
With a burst of air-piercing sounds, the arrows from the string flew forward!
The leader of the Dark Night Cavalry, who had led the retreat of his troops, turned around, and was about to swing his sword to stop the feathered arrow, but he was instantly stunned on the spot.
The arrow had pierced his jaw and then stabbed through the back of his neck.
The leader of the night riders looked at the young man who shot the arrow in disbelief, he could never have imagined that he would be planted in the hands of a lifetime.
"Impossible... How so..."
As soon as he whimpered, his whole figure fell off his horse, and finally fell weakly on Yongqiao Avenue.
With the death of the leader of the Dark Night Cavalry on the spot, the morale of the soldiers of the two armies led by Li Yanhe and Guan Xiao rose again.
In the crowd, there were soldiers constantly shouting.
Their words are extremely simple, only one word "kill", and it is also such a straightforward curtain, which has become the source of motivation for the soldiers of the two armies to move forward.
However, Li Yanhe and the others did not continue to move forward and approach the south gate of the Eastern Capital.
Because on the city walls on both sides, the reinforcements from Guangyang and Kaiyang have already been reinforced, and no matter how quick the success is at this moment, the gains will outweigh the losses.
What's more, from the middle of Yongqiao Avenue from them, they did not see the figure of the chief general of Yongqiao, nor did they explore the specific defense of the south gate.
Li Yanhe raised the sun-raising flag in his hand and signaled the Nandi light cavalry behind him to stop.
Guan Xiao also raised his sword at the same time, and the Hebei Jiashi on both sides of Yongqiao Avenue also quickly stopped and waited for instructions in place.
The former spoke out: "It's not easy to get to the cluster today... Later, after Li broke off, I hope that General Guan will try to lead the army to evacuate the cluster! ”
Guan Xiao nodded in response: "Hmm... Guangyang, Kaiyang, and the South Gate Tower were all injured in three places, and they still need to consider if they want to pursue, we have other ambushes, and there is no big problem in evacuating. ”
But just as the two were talking, the towering gate under the South Gate Tower suddenly opened?!
The city gate was opened from the inside out, and when everyone heard the sound and looked, they found that there were only more than a dozen horsemen walking inside the gate.
The leader was a grim-faced man, whose armor seemed to have some undried blood.
Dirty blood slid down his armor and fell down the avenue of Yongqiao...
At this moment, the sound of blood splashing seemed to be louder than the sound of the city gate opening.
On Yongqiao Avenue at the south gate, whether it was the dark night rider on the man's side or the soldiers of the two armies in the middle, the sound of "tick, tick..." could be heard.
The man in armor was unaware of all the reactions, and he only pulled the reins in his hand slowly, allowing the horses to move forward.
The horse's hooves were extremely heavy, and every time the hooves sounded, it seemed to cause Yongqiao Avenue to vibrate.
A trace of doubt rose in Guan Xiao's heart, the person in front of him was the master of the Yongqiao? It doesn't seem to be...
Li Yanhe said to himself: "This person must not be the original commander, the situation is not quite right... General Guan, you take people away first! ”
The former did not hesitate for a moment, immediately flashed the long knife in his hand, and gave a retreat signal to the soldiers in the rear.
Before the two of them could make any more moves, the armored man who came from the city gate had already spoken.
"Today you are here to intrude... Do you still want to take someone away safely? ”
Li Yanhe looked at the man in front of him vigilantly, the two soldiers in his hands clenched again and again, and he was always ready to step forward to stop the man.
The instinct of marching for many years told him that the person in front of him must not be simple!
Because since the appearance of this armored man, he could clearly perceive that some changes had taken place in the dark night riders above the city.
Eyes, manners, and morale, all kinds of things have changed!
There is only one reason for all these things to change, or for all the Dark Night Cavalry pawns to change them, and that is the armored man in front of him!
As for the identity of Rao in front of him, Li Yanhe can already guess a rough idea.
He shouted: "The one who came, it must be the general Chu Xu!" ”
The armored man's eyes lifted slightly upwards and looked at Li Yanhe.
"You are the defender of Rongcheng - Li Yanhe? Or if you want Chu to say something... Envoy Lord? ”
Two Rao words, Guan Xiao, who retreated backwards, naturally heard it clearly.
Compared with learning that the person who came was the commander of the Dark Night Cavalry, he was even more shocked by Li Yanhe's true identity.
At first, he already had some suspicions about Li Yanhe, who was holding the Sunrise Flag.
The first possibility is that this daily flag-raising is a gift from the mastermind behind it, and it is used to mobilize soldiers from various states and cities at a critical moment.
The second possibility is the one that Chu Xu shouted, making the adult...
This title is not any official position in the Yanyang Army, but it is the real holder of the Sunrise Order Flag, so it will be called.
And this thing can only be granted by the imperial power himself, Li Yanhe is just a southern general, how does he have a connection with Jinzi?
The speculation in Guan Xiao's heart was all broken after Chu Xu personally shouted out that order.
At this moment, he also knows very well that now is by no means the time to ask Li Yanhe about the matter, and it is the top priority to bring people to evacuate as soon as possible!
On Li Yanhe's side, the two soldiers in his hands were already clenched, staring at Chu Xu's every move.
The latter did not give any orders, and still just walked forward with the royal horse, walking towards Li Yanhe step by step.
Chu Xu spoke out: "But in three moments, the rebels who invade the cluster will be killed on the spot, Li Yanhe, what do you think?" ”
Li Yanhe replied loudly: "Why delay here, since the forces of the South Gate have gathered on the avenue, why not fight back?" Isn't it General Chu who is acting for stability... Don't you think you can't catch them all? ”
Chu Xu said: "Today can force me to return to the city, forced to come here to talk, think about whether it is you... Or are they smart people, so they don't have to do some radical tricks..."
Before Chu Xu finished speaking, Li Yanhe stopped listening to his nonsense, and after stepping on the stirrups with both feet, the dust in his hands was already stabbing forward.
The next moment, he was going to attack Chu Xu head-on with this shot!
No one expected that the latter was actually holding up in front of the two armies, and he didn't draw his blade at all, and only raised one hand armor to block Li Yanhe's offensive.
The silver spear collided with its armor, the tip of the spear slashing through the outside of the armor, causing countless sparks to splash around.
Chu Xu's right arm armor suddenly lifted up, and he actually forcibly held up the silver spear that was stabbing in front of him.
Seeing this, Li Yanhe was naturally not to be outdone, and waved the sun-rising order flag with his other hand, and then he was about to smash directly at Chu Xu's door!
In the face of the serial suppression of the two soldiers, Chu Xu still had no idea of unsheathing the blade, and still fought back against Li Yanhe with his hand armor.
Bell - bell -
In this way, the two fought hard and exchanged more than a dozen rounds on Yongqiao Avenue, but neither of them had the upper hand.
But as time passed, Li Yanhe also noticed something unusual...
It's still the change in the surrounding environment, and the change.
Behind Chu Xu, the eyes of those dark night riders became even hotter, and behind him, there was a little more speculation and contrast in the eyes of the Nandi light riders who had not yet withdrawn.
An answer flashed in Li Yanhe's heart, and his whole face was the same as Chu Xu's face, and he began to tend to be cold.
Chu Xu's face was different from before, and he showed a praising smile.
"It seems that Li Lingzhi is really a smart person... But now that I think about it, is it a little late? ”
Li Yanhe waved the spearman in his hand, stopped the long fist handed by Chu Xu again, and then handed out another shot, intending to hinder Chu Xu's actions.
Li Yanhe rushed forward with a gun and a horse, forcing Chu Xu to fight with him in front of the battle.
For the sake of this, the Dark Night Ride was blocked in the city, so that Guan Xiao had more time to lead people to evacuate the cluster.
And Chu Xu gladly accepted the fighter, and he was on Yongqiao Avenue like this, and he fought back and forth.
There are also schemes...
Originally, when Chu Xu had not yet arrived at the South Gate, the South Gate Tower and the garrisons on both sides of Guangyang and Kaiyang had been completely suppressed by Li Yanhe and Guan Xiao.
Although the whole army is high on the city wall, the morale and morale of the army have fallen into a trough.
The two armies led by Li Yanhe and Guan Xiao could only be allowed to rush and kill wantonly, and they approached all the way to the middle of the avenue, and they were unable to fight back.
And when Chu Xu came to the cluster in person, he directly ordered someone to open the south city gate!
is telling Li Yanhe and Guan Xiao that he Chu Xu is here, and he is also telling all the Dark Night Cavalry soldiers that their commander is here!
In this way, it was the first time that the morale of the Dark Night Rider was high!
Then, he and Li Yanhe's battle in front of the battle, not using the blade is indeed deliberate, only in this way can the fighting spirit of the soldiers behind him be more stimulated.
At this point, it is the second morale of the Dark Night Rider!
Until this time, he didn't need to defeat Li Yanhe in the battle in front of the battle, he just needed to let the dark night horse behind him pour out, and the light cavalry in the south above the avenue must be nine deaths!
Regarding Chu Xu's plans, Li Yanhe almost figured it out.
No matter what, he wouldn't let this situation happen, so he had to make a decision before Chu Xu gave the order!
Li Yanhe shouted violently: "Vanguard Army! Charge with me!! ”
The nearest three hundred light horsemen behind him, hearing his shout, immediately raised the Changge in their hands and rushed towards the place where Li Yanhe and Chu Xu were fighting.
Chu Xu laughed out loud: "Today... No matter what, you will have to bury your bones here!! ”
In his almost crazy laughter, the sound of iron hooves roared out, it was the southland light ride in the middle of the avenue, and it was also the dark night ride below the city tower!
The cavalry on both sides charged forward together, and the person who led the team in the dark night was the chief general of Nayong Bridge, and his laughter was no weaker than Chu Xu.
"Kill all the rebels who have come here today! Not a single one to stay! ”
The main general of Yongqiao waved the long soldier in his hand, and the whole person galloped forward, like a long rainbow surging towards the southern cavalry.
