Of course they were facing backward, with their backs to the refugees on the slope.
However, a refugee rushed past Commander Xiao, suddenly got angry, took out a dagger from his waist, and stabbed him in the neck fiercely!
Commander Xiao is so strong and strong that basically only his neck is exposed.
It was dark, and he was caught off guard this time. The distance between the two was only a few feet, and even the soldiers could not rescue him in time.
He Lingchuan was standing diagonally behind Commander Xiao. He saw a glimmer of light in the dark night and immediately knew something was wrong. However, it was too late to pounce on him and he could only watch -
A bright sword flashed across him, and his body and head were separated.
In fact, strictly speaking, this knife was lifted diagonally from downwards to directly cut off the opponent from the left rib to the right shoulder. Therefore, the body was broken into two pieces when it hit the ground, and blood rushed out.
He Lingchuan choked.
The flash of lightning and the ruthless determination of this sword reminded him of how he felt when facing Nian Songyu in Panlong's fantasy world.
I am usually so diligent and hard-working, but I can't develop such sword intention at all.
Commander Xiao lowered his knife, and a string of blood beads dripped from the tip of the knife to the ground. There was also blood splattered on his face, but he was too lazy to care about it, and just let the rain slowly wash it away.
What are you going to wipe? You will kill the enemy later, so why bother?
The soldier felt ashamed: "My lord..."
Commander Xiao raised his hand to interrupt him: "Everyone be more vigilant!"
He Lingchuan murmured: "Good sword skills."
"He who saves himself must have eyes behind his back." Commander Xiao glanced at him and said, "He has good skills."
He Lingchuan felt ashamed: "It's too slow." The assassin still relied on Commander Xiao to solve the problem himself.
The opponent is also a thief. He puts on civilian clothes, sneaks behind enemy lines and beheads the enemy. If he succeeds in one fell swoop, the battle here will be three strikes and five divided by two.
Just looking at how skilled Commander Xiao is, you can see how dangerous the battlefield is.
"You are a civilian, not a soldier." With the lightning in the sky, more than a hundred cavalry were galloping towards them not far away. Commander Xiao stared at them and said to everyone, "If you perform well, you can be selected into the city army! Food,
Accommodation will be given priority!"
During war, resources are allocated to the strong first, and no one can object.
He Lingchuan thought: "Can I join the Gale Army?"
As soon as these words came out, all the newcomers turned around to look at Commander Xiao, obviously very concerned about this issue.
Commander Xiao showed a smile: "It's a beautiful idea, but you are not qualified yet!"
There is still a deep gap between the Panlong City defense army and the Gale Army that roams the wasteland.
Everyone was a little disappointed. Another Gale Army cavalry said: "The city is safe and secure, what's wrong? If the Gale Army goes out, there will be danger."
Even so, he looked quite proud.
Another newcomer asked: "When the time comes, will someone teach us how to kill the enemy?"
"Of course."
Commander Xiao also said: "There are joint drills every ninety days. If you are lucky, you might be able to see the Red General teaching on the spot."
Red General!
You don't even need to show up, just showing this name can boost your morale.
In the shocked eyes of everyone, he raised his sword and said: "My sword skills were personally taught by General Zeng Dehong!"
He Lingchuan could hear the pride in his voice.
Only with the guidance of the Red General, can one master such a powerful murderous sword technique?
Then, more than a hundred fast riders from the opposite side rushed over.
Commander Xiao did not wave his sword, but ordered everyone to move the opening of the car array further.
This is a friendly force.
After going up the hill, more than a hundred people jumped off their horses, helped everyone gather the car formation, arranged it in three rows in front and back, and then inserted themselves in to prepare for the battle.
As soon as they came up, He Lingchuan smelled a fishy wind blowing against his face, which was a strong smell of blood. Later, he saw blood stains and wounds on most of them.
The leading general and Commander Xiao high-fived each other. Commander Xiao laughed and said, "I actually let you escape alive. It seems that the Baling people didn't have enough to eat today!"
The general gasped for breath: "It's not that easy if you want to take credit! The 700 men of the Baling Army who are chasing are a small detachment under Zuo Qin's banner."
"Are there any civilians behind you?"
"Everyone who was alive came back. We killed six brothers."
The subtext of the first half of the sentence makes people shudder. However, this is a battlefield, and civilians are cannon fodder.
He Lingchuan had seen the wild sand season, and most of the resentful souls that emerged from the pools were in civilian attire.
Those who died on the way to escape were buried silently in the wilderness and were not even included in the casualty statistics.
Obviously, the Gale Army was used to such desolation in the world. While a few people were chatting and laughing, the enemy also rushed towards the canyon.
The sound of horse's hooves is rapid, which is a piece of black and white armor.
He Lingchuan looked behind him. Even if he included those who had just returned to help, there were still more than a hundred people in total, less than one-seventh of the troops on the opposite side.
However, the opponent's cavalry only had more than 200 people, and the rest were infantry. After approaching, they lowered their halberd heads and tried to get past the car formation blocking the road.
Horses can't cross, but people can jump.
As they approached, Commander Xiao waved his hand, and a shower of arrows rained down from the top of the slope and from the trees.
After the friendly troops arrived, he deployed more people to hold bows, increasing the number of archers to eleven.
Eleven people, sixteen arrows.
Several of them were holding crossbows, which could fire two in a row.
There were many arrows in Governor Sun's box, and they used them generously.
However, facing the 700 strong enemy troops, this wave of arrows was still too weak to form an effective suppression.
At this time, He Lingchuan particularly missed the giant crossbows and cannons on Panlong City. They were so exciting to fire, and their lethality was incredible.
Commander Xiao shouted: "Go! Kill them without leaving any trace behind!"
The gale army roared together and waved their troops to meet the enemy.
A light yellow light burst out from their bodies——
Commander Xiao activated the Sheji Order to provide bonuses to the soldiers under his command.
In total, everyone here must be at least one against seven, and every extra boost reduces the pressure.
The light coming from the Ba Ling Army on the opposite side was light green.
This shows that the title of the opponent's general is under Commander Xiao, or that the morale of this team is not as high as that of the Gale Army. However, no matter how good the Sheji Order is, it is only a bonus. The real victory or defeat depends on the basic combat strength of both sides.
No matter how much the zero bonus is, it is still zero. He Lingchuan also learned basic mathematics well.
The Sheji Order has miraculous effects on the battlefield, but it is not the only variable that determines the outcome. This has been proven in countless battles throughout the ages, so the Baling army was not afraid of the gale army behind the chariot formation.
In the blink of an eye, the two armies collided.
Commander Xiao stood directly behind the first row of the car formation, taking the lead to face all the enemies. If the Ba Ling Army were like spears and halberds, he was the silent rock that withstood the first wave of offensive.
He Lingchuan stood beside him and slashed at the enemy who was rushing towards him.
This was the first time he felt the magic of She Ji Ling. The most intuitive feeling was that he was stronger and more agile. He took a wrong step forward and jumped further than before, as if a spring was added to the sole of his foot, which scared him.
