193 [Fiction and Reality]

The afternoon sun is a little harsh.

Above the valley, the sound of killing shook the sky.

Lu Shenqin led more than 1,000 people from the front army and the Chinese army of the Seven Star Army to enter from the left flank of the battlefield. Seeing that he was so brave, the soldiers behind him were both worried and moved, and followed him directly into the ribs of the Yan army's formation, and went straight forward with all his strength, and the Yan army's formation seemed to be caught in a storm, and it was crumbling in an instant.

Li Chengen brandished his spear, and several other deputy commanders led more than 1,000 people from the left and right armies, and rushed to the right flank of the Yan army like a flood that broke the embankment. He wore armor and carried a gun, and he behaved like a fish in water on the battlefield, and he had an indomitable momentum, breaking through the outermost front of the Yan army in an instant.

Wen Xiguang spoke out, relying on the messages of his cronies and subordinates to maintain the integrity of his own formation, but in this kind of completely hard-fought encounter with no possibility of tricks, the quality of the soldiers themselves will determine the outcome of the war.

It was only at this moment that Wen Xiguang realized that all of them had made a very fatal mistake, including Xu Zhennei, who had always been cautious, that is, they had a wrong assessment of the strength of the Seven Star Army.

Maybe it was because the Seven Star Army retreated step by step after entering the mountain and was too cowardly, or maybe it was the unknown contempt that these main generals hid deep in their hearts, in short, they formed a subconscious thought, that is, the green forests and grass in the mountains are absolutely impossible to have the ability to fight head-on.

Now that he has seen it with his own eyes, Wen Xiguang knows how wrong he was.

Looking at the current battle situation, the so-called gangsters are all strong in martial arts, and they have the blessing of advancing and retreating together in the battle formation, especially the heavily armored strong men who rush to the front, when they run, they seem to be able to bring the tremor of the earth, just like a chariot brings the invincible impact of the blocker.

Looking down from above, the battlefield at this moment presents an extreme scene of a blend of movement and stillness.

On one side was the Yan army that was forming a formation to meet the enemy, and on the other side was the Seven Star Army roaring forward.

Like a tidal wave, a thousand piles of snow are rolled up.

After a wave of waves, the ribs of the two wings of the Yan Army were rushed away by the Seven Star Army, and the two sides immediately fell into a melee.

The Seven Star Army's individual super combat power was vividly exerted in this kind of melee, they were in a group of more than ten people, with tacit understanding and courage, and in a very short time, the Yan Army's formation was scattered.

At the same time, that cavalry under the leadership of Lin Xi was like an arrow from the string, becoming the last straw that crushed the Yan army.

The equipment of these hundreds of cavalry was very elite, all riding tall horses, wielding long weapons forged from fine iron in their hands, all of them were wearing armor, and some horses also had leather armor, which had an overwhelming advantage over the Yan army's foot soldiers.

Especially the young female general who took the lead, wielding a horse chopping knife about seven or eight feet long, blocking and killing Buddhas.

In this battle, Lu Shen undoubtedly grasped the relatively weak part of the Yan army's sequence, gathered all the powerful forces in his hands, and launched the most fierce offensive in this empty valley where there was no village in front and no store in the back.

After struggling to support most of the incense, Wen Xiguang looked at the approaching enemy, and then at the subordinates who kept falling to the ground and dying, and after a moment of hesitation, his eyes were red and his voice trembled and he gave the order to retreat.

The so-called retreat actually means fleeing for their lives in all directions.

Because of the presence of enemy cavalry in the rear, the Yan army that was able to break away from the front of the Seven Star Army and flee to the north was their only chance of survival.

After all, there are still 4,000 vanguard elites in the north, and when the Seven Star Army appeared before, there were already scouts to send messages to the north, as long as the vanguard army can return in time to respond, these fleeing Yan troops may still have a chance to survive.

Wen Xiguang did not choose to escape, he led a part of his subordinates to stay in place and resist desperately.

Lu Shen calmly issued an order, and Lin Xi divided half of his cavalry to pursue north.

There were about 1,000 Yan troops who fled, and there were only more than 100 cavalry of the Seven Star Army who pursued them, but these Yan troops did not have the courage to resist at all, and they fled frantically like lost dogs.

It's just how they outrun the horses under the crotch of the opposing cavalry?

The cavalry of the Seven Star Army pursued along the road, as if cutting melons and vegetables.

On the main battlefield, as the horse chopping knife in Lin Xi's hand broke through the many obstacles and stood on Wen Xiguang's neck, the battle finally came to an end.

There were corpses everywhere, most of them were Yan soldiers, and the Yan soldiers who were still alive could only abandon their weapons and surrender.

The soldiers of the Seven Star Army let out cheerful cheers as they cleaned up the battlefield.

The weapons of the Yan army, armor and even anything useful became the trophies of the Seven Star Army, and they were eager to wipe out the Yan army.

Dead and alive, they all became their targets.

It didn't take long for the field to leave only a group of Yan soldiers who were dressed in single clothes and tied together, except for the Seven Star Army, who had gained a lot of gains.

At this time, the Seven Star Army finally had a bit of the temperament of a bandit, which was completely different from the previous elite heroes who were not afraid of death.

Wen Xiguang's heart was dripping blood, and at the moment he didn't know the specific losses of his side, but it didn't matter anymore.

The Left Army existed in name only after the war, and perhaps even the establishment would be abolished, and he, the capital of the Left Army, obviously had no hope of survival.

These people on the other side are green forest thieves who kill people without blinking!

He lowered his head to look at the sharp blade in front of his throat, looked at the expressionless young woman next to him, and then turned straight ahead, staring at the young man who was slowly walking towards him.

The identity of this person is self-explanatory, although Wen Xiguang has never seen the other party before, he also knows that he must be the culprit of Lu Shen of Southern Qi and sent him a tragic defeat.

"Your Excellency is Wen Xiguang, the capital of the Yan Army's left army?"

Lu Shen was already stained with blood at this time, but his tone was calm and indifferent.

Wen Xiguang gritted his teeth and said: "Don't be verbose, if you want to kill, you will kill!" ”

Lin Xi's eyebrows frowned slightly, and with a slight force in his right hand, the long knife was attached to Wen Xiguang's throat.

Lu Shen raised his hand to stop it, and said leisurely: "Wen Dujian is a guest from afar, so naturally I want to invite you into the mountain for a walk, so this is the way to be hospitable." ”

Wen Xiguang was slightly stunned, and then a mocking look appeared on his face, and he said coldly: "Wen will never surrender!" ”

"Don't worry, I didn't plan to make you surrender, I just asked you to take a look at the scenery in the mountains."

Lu Shen smiled warmly, turned his head and said, "Prepare to retreat!" ”

The soldiers of the Seven Star Army, who were still giggling, immediately straightened up when they heard these four words, and responded neatly: "Obey the order!" ”

Wen Xiguang, who saw this scene, couldn't help but change his complexion, such a forbidden military appearance was difficult to see even in the Yan army, but now it happened to a group of bandits who were despised by them.

He suddenly felt embarrassed, this time he was afraid that it would be far more difficult than expected to go into the mountains to suppress the bandits.

The Seven Star Army came and went like the wind, and the cavalry chasing the deserters in the north quickly returned after achieving enough victories, and after joining the main force in the valley, with a large amount of loot and more than ten Yan generals such as Wen Xiguang, Shi Shiran drilled into the mountain path in the southeast, and soon disappeared, leaving only hundreds of Yan soldiers who were messy in the mountain wind.

About half an hour later, the dust was blowing in the north, and the army came in a hurry.

Looking at the corpses of the Yan army on the valley, as well as the hundreds of soldiers who were tied together and could not break free, Du Min, the former military supervisor, had his hair open, and looked up to the sky and scolded angrily.

"Lu Shen Xiao'er, I will definitely break your corpse into ten thousand pieces!"

……

The breeze was gentle in the mountains and fields, and more than 2,000 soldiers of the Seven Star Army marched calmly, while hundreds of cavalry stayed behind to keep guard.

Wen Xiguang and the others were all tied with their hands tied, and they moved forward under the close watch of a group of masters, and the sound of the young man and woman talking from time to time came from behind.

"Senior brother, why did you guess that the other party would send reinforcements to meet the vanguard army?"

"Actually, I really don't know."

"So it's a coincidence?"

"Yes. We are luring the enemy deeper, and the enemy must know this, and this is nothing more than a tacit temptation on both sides. The four thousand pioneers of the Yan army look very difficult to mess with, but this kind of army must be extremely proud, and it should not let our people escape, and most of them will chase after them. As for the follow-up ambush, if the enemy commander does not send troops to meet it, then I will have to try it while the enemy vanguard is tired and returns. Fortunately, the general manager of Xu Cunxu was very cooperative, and knew that we needed a big victory to boost morale, so he sent the relatively weak left army to respond. ”

Lin Xi couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and there was a burst of laughter around him.

The faces of the more than ten Yan generals who were captured turned pale.

Lin Xi said again: "After those hundreds of people surrendered, I thought you would order them to be killed. ”

Lu Shen saw that the deputy commanders next to him were all looking at him, knowing that they were also interested in this matter, so he explained gently: "If our enemy only has this left army, I will definitely not let them go back alive." But you must know that there are now more than 20,000 Yan troops in this mountain, if I kill all the prisoners this time, what will the other Yan troops think? ”

The crowd nodded thoughtfully.

Lu Shen continued: "To deal with these soldiers, it is naturally very simple for us to kill, but this will make other Yan troops dare not surrender again, and they will fight us to the death in the next battle." Leave them with a little thought, and it will be easier to destroy the morale of the enemy army in the future. The art of war has clouds, and the encirclement of three ques is one, which is the truth. ”

"I see."

Lin Xi looked at him softly.

Wen Xiguang, who was walking in front, heard this answer that did not shy away from himself at all, and his heart seemed to sink into an ice cave.

The other Yan army generals were also in this state of mind, since the other party didn't plan to hide it from him at all, it must be because they were treated as dead people, but I don't know why the other party didn't do it immediately.

After walking for more than two hours with such apprehension, when it was dark, everyone was taken to a beautiful place and locked up in a row of wooden houses.

Wen Xiguang was alone, and there were still a few green forest masters who were in charge of guarding him closely.

After a while, Lu Shen walked in with a bowl of ordinary food, sat down opposite Wen Xiguang, and then began to swallow the food in a big gulp.

Wen Xiguang looked at the young man coldly, and there was a sound of hunger in his stomach from time to time.

Lu Shen was unmoved, filled his stomach by himself, raised his hand to wipe his mouth, and said with a smile: "Wen Dujian, I won't kill you, and I will let you go back, provided that you are willing to answer me a few questions." ”

Wen Xiguang frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Wen won't say anything, you die of this heart!" ”

Lu Shen's expression was calm, and he said leisurely: "Don't be in a hurry to refuse Wen Dujian first, I know that you are an iron-clad man, but you may not be able to withstand those tortures." In addition, you must know that even if you don't say it, your subordinates will also be relieved, and you can guarantee that they are all warriors who regard death as their home? ”

Wen Xiguang was silent.

Lu Shen continued: "You really don't want to go back? Do you really want to look at your wife and children again? Also, you have been working hard in the Yan Army for nearly twenty years, and now you are only a mere prisoner, and many people who are not as capable as you have climbed to high positions, and it has always been difficult for you to go further. Now that the power of the Yan army is grasped by the magnates of the Jing Dynasty, you are a Qi person who is like a fake, even if you are forced to commit to the thief helplessly, but you can't get the respect of the other party. ”

"If so, why do you have to die for them?"

After Wen Xiguang was silent for a long time, he asked in an astringent voice, "What do you want to know?" ”

Lu Shen laughed gently.
