He Lou Zigan sighed softly. He originally expected reinforcements to arrive, but he didn't expect that he would end up like this in the end.
This guy Li Xingchen gave people hope and then killed him in front of him. This feeling was the most uncomfortable and cruel to He Lou Ziqian. If he had known this, he should have fought two days ago
Die here.
Arrows whizzed past Helou Zigan, but he remained indifferent.
At this time, He Lou Ziqian was already devastated. He knew how completely he had failed at the hands of Li Xingchen. He also knew that he was just a plaything in Li Xingchen's hands from beginning to end in this battle. Li Xingchen had calculated every move of his.
action.
"Kill!" A Pakistani soldier roared and rushed over, fighting with one of Helou Zigan's personal guards, while the rest of the personal guards did not dare to neglect and looked around nervously.
Looking at the Ba people who kept rushing out of the darkness, this was what He Lou Zigan couldn't understand the most. Why did these proud Ba people who had no good impression of the Han people obey Li Xingchen's orders wholeheartedly?
Do they really think that Li Xingchen can take them to revenge and lead them out of the mountains? In He Lou Ziqian's view, Li Xingchen just wanted to take advantage of them.
It's impossible for these Ba people to be unaware of anything... But they are so desperate now, and sometimes their attacks are even more fierce and ruthless than those of Li Xingchen's direct troops who faced him in Tiangongyuan.
"General, it's better to hurry up and leave." One of the guards said anxiously.
He Lou Zigan raised his head slightly. There was still two or three feet behind him the top of the hill, and his broken general flag was still dancing in the moonlight.
"Let's go... wherever we go, it's just a different place to die." He Lou Zigan sighed softly.
In the dark night, only the torches of Nanchen's army can still point the way, and now the entire hillside is surrounded by this little bit of firelight. No matter which way He Lou Ziqian breaks out, it means encountering layers of enemies. With their help,
It is impossible for the dwindling number of defeated soldiers to break out.
If He Lou Ziqian still wanted to try it before, now he didn't even have the courage to try it. The guard captain stepped forward anxiously: "General, my subordinates collected the enemy's corpses. General changed his clothes and armor, and asked his subordinates to
I will select a shrewd and capable person to escort you to break out of the chaos. Without further ado, I also invite the general..."
He Louzi stood up slowly, holding the knife in his hand, and chuckled: "You change your clothes and armor, and run away in confusion. How can you do such a useless thing after a lifetime of fighting? How can you have the face to explain to General Wei after you return?"
As he spoke, He Lou Zigan looked at the crowds of people separating in front of him.
The soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty no longer had much fighting spirit and were slowly retreating, while a young man appeared not far from Helou Zigan under the protection of his bodyguards.
Although they only met once that day, He Lou Ziqian still recognized him with the help of the weak firelight and murmured: "Li Xingchen?"
The surrounding guards looked at this surprisingly young opponent with solemn expressions.
The Ziyun gun in Li Xingchen's hand was still bleeding. He glanced at He Lou Zigan, who only had a vague outline, and said with a smile: "General He Lou, we meet again."
He Lou Ziqian snorted. Of course he was very unhappy to meet Li Xingchen, especially under such circumstances. The Northern Zhou soldiers slowly retreated and gathered around He Lou Ziqian. He Lou Ziqian looked around. He remembered before
There are still six to seven hundred people on this hill, but now there are probably less than a hundred people around, and the soldiers' clothes and armor are in pieces, and they are obviously unable to fight anymore.
Li Xingchen said calmly: "To be honest, I didn't expect you to be able to bluff for so many days. If I had known that you were so easy to deal with, I would definitely not have rushed up this hillside now."
He Louziqian was noncommittal.
He Lou Zigan has not been idle on the hillside these past two days, boosting morale and reorganizing the array, which seems pretty decent, but in fact, if you look closely, you will find that the soldiers and horses under He Lou Zigan have long since lost their fighting spirit.
The dense forest before had wiped away their last confidence. Even Li Xingchen didn't find any clues about it. He only thought that it was He Lou Ziqian who had re-invigorated the morale.
Now that I think about it, it's right. The defeated generals cannot easily regain their momentum in such a difficult situation, especially when they don't have enough food.
Li Xingchen raised his head and glanced at He Lou Ziqian: "Actually, you have made someone miscalculate more than once. It's just a pity that God doesn't seem to be very willing to bless you."
Whether it was He Lou Ziqian who led his army up the hillside before or whether he was arrogantly arranging his troops in the past few days, Li Xingchen actually did not expect it. Li Xingchen admitted that his judgment was wrong, but even if it was two days late, Li Xingchen still stood
At the top of the hillside, because in the overall situation, he did many things better than He Louzi.
"You win." He Lou Ziqian murmured. No matter how hard he made Li Xingchen miscalculate, the result was clearly here, "put down your weapons."
Regardless of whether they were willing or not, He Lou Ziqian had already said it, and these exhausted and hungry soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty obediently threw away their weapons.
"Li Xingchen, I hope I can compete with you in the next life." As he said this, He Louziqian raised his hand and wiped the knife directly towards his neck. However, his personal guard had quick eyesight and quick hands and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Helouziqian:
"General, keep the green hills and don't worry about running out of firewood!"
"General, think twice!"
Li Xingchen smiled slightly. He did not let the guards around him rush forward, but said loudly: "General He Lou, this battle is not over yet. Don't you want to see the result?"
He Lou Ziqian's hand trembled slightly, and one of the guards directly snatched the knife from his hand. He Lou Ziqian looked up at Li Xingchen tiredly, and finally just sighed deeply.
To be honest, he really wanted to see this guy cut into pieces...
Li Xingchen slowly released his hand on the hilt of the sword and was about to step forward, but Li Ping hurriedly reached out to stop him: "General..."
Li Xingchen smiled and stretched out his hand to push his arm away, and walked quickly towards He Lou Ziqian. He Lou Ziqian smiled self-consciously, and also waved his hand to ask his personal guards to retreat. Although his personal guards were a little reluctant, they still
Knowing that everyone is a prisoner now, there is no point in stressing about this.
Pointing to the north of the hill, Li Xingchen said lightly:
"Cao Xiaoda's reinforcements were there, but he did not move forward."
He Lou Zigan's expression changed: "You, what did you say?"
Li Xingchen chuckled: "Cao Xiaoda is smarter than you. He knew this was a trap, so he didn't walk in. And after hearing the killing sounds here, he decisively ordered to stop advancing. The news I just received, Cao Xiaoda
