He Lou Zigan was covered in blood and gasping for air. If he hadn't stretched out his hand to hold his general's flag, he might have been unable to hold on at this time.
The corpses of his personal guards were scattered around him. Most of these guards had died in the fight with Li Xinchen's personal guards. Of course, these battle-hardened veterans were merciless. If Li Xinchen hadn't ordered a retreat, both sides would have lost their lives.
It is really possible for the personal guards to fight for their last breath on this hillside.
The few remaining guards slowly retreated to a distance of less than ten feet away from He Lou Zigan. The hillsides were also covered with corpses. The soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were trapped in a desperate situation, and they fought with a fierceness, which made
The Nanchen army, which had already formed a local strength advantage, found it difficult to deal with them for a while.
"Hold!" He Lou Zigan's voice was a little hoarse. He set up the flag here and managed to gather hundreds of remnants, while the rest of the troops had already dispersed in the vast forest. You don't need to think about it to know that facing the
The Ba people, who were born in the mountains and forests, had little possibility of escaping.
Now the only thing He Lou Zigan can hope for is that reinforcements can arrive - even if this hope is very slim, because he knows that he may not be able to sustain it for even an hour.
"This He Louzigan is a fierce general after all." Li Xingchen stood at the foot of the hillside, squinting slightly.
Li Ping and others held their breath and looked around, not daring to let down their guard at all. The fight just now had shown them how powerful their opponents were, and now they were even more afraid that some enemy would suddenly rush out and endanger Li Xingchen.
The reason why so many Ba people failed to take down this small hill was mainly because from time to time, the Northern Zhou army broke out and moved closer to the hillside, which made Li Xingchen helpless and could only invest more troops on the outside and outside.
These Northern Zhou troops who were gradually gathering were fighting, otherwise once they rushed up the hillside to join Helou Zigan, the consequences would be disastrous.
In the final analysis, there are still few people... Li Xingchen sighed helplessly in his heart. If he had another thousand, no, five hundred soldiers and horses, the situation would definitely not be as stalemate as it is now. Li Xingchen still underestimated it after all.
Although the vast forest disrupted their formation, it still did not weaken their fighting spirit.
Of course, compared to Li Xingchen who was standing under the shade of the tree and sighing helplessly, He Lou Ziqian was in a bad mood at this time.
The hillside that had been fought over after countless lives was obviously not as good as He Louziqian imagined - the two commanding heights from which he could truly see the whole situation had long been occupied by Li Xingchen, and of course he would not give it to Helouziqian.
A little chance.
This hillside is surrounded by dense jungles on all sides. You don’t need to think about it to know that Li Xingchen will not be able to rush up for a while, but he will not let He Louziqian leave here safely. It can even be said that this hillside has turned into a vast ocean.
An isolated island in the sea, He Lou Ziqian could stay on it, but he could not leave.
What surprised He Lou Ziqian even more now was that Li Xingchen's flag was slowly retreating into the woods outside, and the Ba people who were gathering to attack also began to retreat. However, their formation was fierce, indicating that they were not affected by
attack, but simply gave up the attack on this hillside.
In an instant, He Lou Ziqian shuddered. He vaguely guessed Li Xingchen's purpose. Now He Lou Ziqian and these hundreds of defeated soldiers were a lone army and a bait. Li Xingchen placed this bait at the center of the trap.
, surrounded but not attacked, waiting for the next prey to come to you.
Whether it is Cui Hongdu or Cao Xiaoda, they will definitely not let He Lou Ziqian be trapped here. If they don't get news about He Lou Ziqian, they will definitely lead their troops to come to the rescue. At that time, the trap will naturally be useful again.
.
As long as there are Pakistani soldiers in the surrounding mountains and forests, the only thing He Lou Zigan can do is to watch all this happen.
A new trap has been formed, but he is no longer the prey, but the bait.
For a moment, He Lou Ziqian didn't want to be rescued.

"Shi Zhong!" Xiao Shilian casually threw the head of a Northern Zhou general on the ground. The head rolled twice and landed at Li Xingchen's feet. The head still had his eyes wide open, obviously unwilling to die, "
I came in time!"
Li Xingchen nodded slightly, and Xiao Shilian led his men to kill him from the top of the mountain in time, blocking He Lou Ziqian's retreat to Liushugou, forcing He Lou Ziqian to retreat to the hill without knowing how many enemies there were.
, thus falling into a situation of being surrounded.
This was something Li Xingchen had not expected beforehand. Xiao Shilian's ability to adapt to such changes shows that Xiao Shilian was also growing during this war.
Seemingly realizing that Li Xingchen was a little unhappy, Xiao Shilian said with a smile: "Shizhong, it is impossible to have everything under control. He Lou Ziqian traveled all over the world to fight, and it is reasonable that there will be some changes that are beyond your expectation."
Otherwise, Wei Xiaokuan would not think so highly of him and let him take the first step to become your opponent."
Li Xinchen was startled. In this era, the person he had the most contact with was probably Xiao Shilian. The two of them fought side by side for longer than the time Li Xinchen spent with his sister and Xiao Xiang, not to mention Li Lian'er and Xiao Xiang.
Xiang generally does not try to figure out Li Xinchen's thoughts on strategy and tactics.
So purely from a tactical perspective, the person who understood Li Xinchen best was Xiao Shilian. Li Xinchen was not particularly surprised that Xiao Shilian could express his thoughts and worries in one sentence, and just said lightly:
"Our medical records do not have an advantage, but we relied on our familiarity with the terrain to catch He Louzi off guard. It was like walking on the tip of a knife. Any mistake could lead to the annihilation of the entire army."
Xiao Shilian couldn't help but laugh: "You always think of problems in such a complicated way. Even if we lose this battle and we hide in the mountains, is it possible that He Lou Zigan still has the intention to search the mountains? We can wait until the storm calms down before we come out.
Can stir up the trend again!"
Li Xunchen glanced at him and had to say that this guy's cheerful attitude was really quite good. Footsteps rang in a hurry, and Du Qi and Li Xun came hand in hand.
"Two generals, most of the enemy's troops have been routed," Du Qi said loudly, with unconcealable joy in his voice, "Now the only enemies left on the hill in front of us are the rest.
They are all frightened birds. If I give my subordinates half a day to clean up every corner, I will surely catch them all alive."
Du Qi never thought that there would be such a big victory today.
