When it was most dangerous, the distance might only be a few feet, but even if Yu Xi tried his best, he could not urge his soldiers to take even one step forward.
With this hasty failure, no one knows how long the Northern Zhou soldiers in the first line of defense can last, but I am afraid that they will no longer be able to launch an attack on the second line of defense in a short time.
This feeling of being manipulated in someone's hands must not be very pleasant.
The first trench Li Xingchen set up was not just to provide a shelter for his crossbowmen who had become monks on the way, but also to give the enemy another temporary resting place. Don't look at this resting place.
It allowed the Northern Zhou army to avoid some arrows, but it also made them psychologically more dependent on this trench. Once the defense in front was strong enough, they would not continue to move forward, but would instead retreat into the trench to seek help.
cover.
As a result, the reinforcements behind the enemy were unable to rush up because there were not enough people in the trench, and the soldiers in the trench were unwilling to rush out and face the enemy's fire. The enemy would definitely be in a dilemma at this time.
.
Therefore, the most uncomfortable thing now is not the enemy who rushed under Li Xingchen's nose, but Yu Xi who had already rushed under Li Xingchen's nose but was unable to move forward no matter what.
Obviously Niu Tong and Cheng Feng also saw through this at this time. All they wanted in their hearts was to never confront the "devil" Li Xingchen in this life. He has a hundred ways to make you unable to survive.
You can't die.
But it was obvious that Li Xingchen didn't care what the two generals around him were thinking, and said in a deep voice: "Go down with the order and prepare food."
"General?" Niu Tong and Cheng Feng were both a little surprised.
It was only an hour or two after noon, and the battle started not long after lunch. Why start preparing dinner now?
"When the sun goes down, let's go and take back the position." Li Xingchen said calmly, "Otherwise, how can we sleep peacefully tonight if the enemy is right under our noses?"
"No!" The two agreed hastily.
The person waiting in the ditch not far away is Yu Xi. This guy can be regarded as killing the Turks in a sea of blood. He is a difficult master to deal with. It can be seen from the attack just now. If you change your mentality,
If you are weak, you may retreat before you even rush into the trench.
Therefore, who knows whether Yu Xi will do anything at night. Instead of everyone being worried, it is better to take back the trench first.
——————————
In winter in the northwest, it gets dark very quickly.
In fact, Yu Xi had no intention of attacking at night. The morale of the army had been reduced to a terrible level after successive blows during the day. Before reinforcements arrived tomorrow, Yu Xi had almost no capital to attack.
This narrow trench was indeed a good place to avoid arrows and gather, but Yu Xi soon realized how terrifying the trench was.
Not to mention that in the cold winter, the soldiers in the trenches had no way to escape the cold wind and the lingering chill in the air. The low groans of the injured soldiers were like bells and drums constantly beating the hearts of the soldiers, making the other soldiers sit down.
Can't sleep well.
Sending the wounded soldiers down from here requires going through an open hillside, as well as the winding wooden path and traps, which is quite complicated. Moreover, it is easy to become the target of Li Xingchen's crossbowmen before dark, so in
Although Xi was very anxious, he could only wait helplessly. The most important task tonight was definitely not to attack, but to send the sick and wounded soldiers down.
Yu Xi is not someone who loves soldiers as much as his own son, but these wounded soldiers here are really damaging to their morale.
In addition, it was difficult to move around in the narrow trench, and a group of soldiers were crowded together, making it almost difficult to find the person you were looking for. The rest of the war leaders and generals wanted to come over to find Yu Xi and accepted the order
Going back again, they don't know how much time it will take to go back and forth, and they don't know how many changes will happen during the time they leave. Therefore, Yu Xi has no choice but to divide the entire trench into sections, and then his
The personal guards are responsible for conveying orders to each general.
"General, will the enemy launch a counterattack under the cover of night?" A general following Yu Xi said worriedly while eating pancakes by the faint bonfire. They did not expect that they would be trapped in this cold place tonight.
In the trenches, they didn't carry many fire poles, so they lit a few bonfires, and the soldiers took turns coming to keep warm.
Yu Xi frowned. After a day of running and fighting, his voice was a little hoarse. He looked up at the dark mountain. As far as his eyes could see, there were only some ups and downs outside the trench. Yu Xi knew that those were the soldiers who died in the day.
's corpse.
And if you continue to look upward, all you can see is the vast galaxy, which is extremely bright.
Just as Yu Xi was about to speak, the darkness on the top of the mountain was suddenly torn apart, and a point of light jumped up, followed by the entire mountain as if it was wrapped in a fiery red belt!
"Enemy attack!" Yu Xi's pupils suddenly shrank.
The next moment, the fire swept down, and it was right in front of you!
Li Xingchen's attack came quickly and violently. The Ziyun gun in his hand was pointed high into the air. Li Xingchen took the lead and rushed to the nearest traffic ditch, while Cheng Feng and Li Ping defended him on the left and right. The general wanted to play
Li Ping and Cheng Feng were unable to stop Li Ping and Cheng Feng from being a role model in leading the charge, so all they could do was to stare closely at Li Xinchen's side. Once the enemy started shooting arrows, they had to pull Li Xinchen back without saying a word.
However, it was obvious that the response of the Northern Zhou army was far from that fast. It was not until Li Xingchen had crossed the most dangerous short distance that the Northern Zhou crossbowmen panicked and tried to fire arrows to stop Li Xingchen, but it was too late. Most of the arrows were
In the darkness, I don’t know if any unlucky guy has won the lottery.
And Li Xingchen was condescending, and the Ziyun gun in his hand easily deflected the knife swung by a Northern Zhou soldier. The original Ziyun gun was too long, so it was naturally unable to adapt to trench warfare, but Li Xingchen had already expected this, and he fired it early.
I replaced the Ziyun gun with a short pole. The long and short poles were tailor-made for Li Xingchen by the master craftsman Ouyang Mo. They chose the best wood that can be found in the Bashu Mountains. They are rare and have been produced for ten years.
White pear.
Ziyun swung the sword away with his gun, and Li Xingchen also took this opportunity to jump into the ditch. He already held a short knife in his other hand and inserted it straight into the chest of the Northern Zhou soldier.
"Stop him!" A battle leader also spotted Li Xingchen who suddenly rushed out, and hurriedly rushed out, but a dark thing came towards him. Under the flickering firelight, the battle leader could not see.
Knowing what it was, he subconsciously stepped back and slashed at it with a knife. Blood spurted out, and the leader realized that it was a corpse. (To be continued)
