Approaching the position, Li Xinchen did not hesitate much, and the cavalry rushed directly over the hillside and went around to the rear of the valley, where there was a gentle slope to go up the mountain, and at the same time, there was an open place on the mountainside where the horses could be placed.

And Niu Tong greeted him as soon as possible: "General! ”

"It's all arranged?"

"Everything is according to the general's command!"

Li Xinchen bowed slightly, and walked up the hill quickly, his position was set up on two trenches, and the half-human-high breastwork was enough for Li Xinchen to observe and defend, and Li Xinchen's flag was fluttering behind him, as if to tell Yu Yi that as long as he could rush to this place, the victory would be his. And Cheng Feng led a famous soldier to line up around the chest wall, they were Li Xinchen's last support, and at this distance, it was difficult for the Northern Zhou army to directly hurt them.

Yu Yi's attack came quickly, and obviously he didn't plan to give Li Xinchen much more opportunity to rest and improve the defensive line, Li Xinchen is good at defense, which is known to the world. But after all, it was the first attack, Yu Yi was still cautious enough, the sword and shield hand was in front, the crossbowman was in the center, and the spearman was in the back, which was a standard offensive lineup.

For Yu Xi, who served as a striker, he was obviously far less calm than his father, who gave the order, and the defense line in front of him gave him a strange feeling. It's not that everyone hasn't seen trenches and wooden stakes, but moats generally appear outside the city, and wooden stakes are used to defend against cavalry, and now Li Xinchen actually let his people lie in the trenches, and also set up a large number of wooden stakes on the hillside, which made Yu Xi unable to understand.

What do you mean?

The hillside where the stakes were set was still some distance away from the first line of defense on the mountain, so at least Yu Xi didn't have to worry about being attacked by the crossbows on the mountain when he entered the stake area. In fact, with the range of the cavalry crossbow commonly used in the northwest, the Northern Zhou army had already entered the range at this time, but there were too few such crossbows in Li Xinchen's hands, and more were homemade bows and arrows.

Yu Xi was about to bypass the two wooden stakes at the beginning, when there was a sudden scream in front, and the soldiers on the left and right sides of Yu Xi stepped into the traps at the same time, all of these traps were barbed in the shallow pits, and the soldiers stepped into them almost either dead or injured. And soon a similar situation also appeared around, Yu Xi suddenly stopped, looking at the barren grass in front of him, he didn't think it was strange just now, but now he suddenly realized that he was only so far away from death.

"Quick, go up the path they took!"

One of the battle lords apparently noticed the clue and shouted.

The panicked team moved again, but it was obviously much more cautious than just now. A group of soldiers cautiously groped their way up, and the winding path made them tremble when they walked.

At this time, Li Xinchen on the hillside waved his hand decisively.

Arrows whizzed, and short spears followed closely and swooped down towards the junctions of several roads!

The sudden arrow suddenly made the soldiers who were carefully climbing up confused, and there were constantly arrows whistling into their chests, and many Northern Zhou soldiers fell down the hillside with screams, and they were all going up along a road before, and at this time a person rolled down, and soon involved the people behind. In an instant, all the mountain roads were in chaos!

The arrows were still pouring down, and Yu Xi gritted his teeth, picked up the shield, bowed and rushed to the front, the arrows hit the shield "poof", Yu Xi only felt that the shield was getting heavier and heavier, and he didn't know how many arrows were inserted on it, so he could only grit his teeth and continue to go up. And a short spear slammed into the shield with a "bang" at this time, and Yu Xi suddenly snorted and staggered back.

Fortunately, the guards behind him and on his side were quick and stepped forward to support him, while the other two guards hurriedly came over and covered Yu Xi with shields.

At this time, some soldiers couldn't stand such a stalemate, and jumped directly out of the range of the path, but before he could take a few steps forward, he fell directly into the trap with a muffled snort. At the foot of the hill the traps were sparse, and by the mountainside, especially near the end of the stakes, the traps were so dense that they were almost connected around the road, and soon the soldiers fell into it without a sound.

I don't know which soldier reacted first, and stepped straight over the trap on the corpse of his own man, but before he could take a few steps forward, he fell into a new trap, and the barbs at the bottom of the pit soon killed him.

The arrows on the hillside rested for a moment, and came more violently. What these foot soldiers are holding in their hands is just an ordinary round shield, and there is no way to cover all parts of the body, especially Yu Xi's personal guards, more attention is paid to helping Yu Xi block the arrows, but he didn't cover it much, so soon several guards in front of Yu Xi fell down with arrows.

"Major General, retreat!" One of the guards shouted loudly with an arrow stuck in his back.

And Yu Xi gritted his teeth at this time and pointed to the trap next to him that had been stepped on: "Don't panic, let's rush up from this place!" ”

While speaking, Yu Xi jumped into the trap and stepped on several corpses with difficulty, while the guards behind him did not dare to slack off, hurriedly followed, and overtook Yu Xi. After crossing the two pits, no one had ever set foot in front of them, and one of the guards gritted his teeth and rushed forward first, and soon fell into a new pit. And Yu Xi behind him barely hesitated, stepping on the body of this personal guard and crawling out of this small pit with difficulty.

There was already a stone ground in front of him, and there was no such terrifying barren grassland, Yu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and it was obvious that the enemy on the hillside had also discovered him, and the arrows were whistling straight towards him. But fortunately, several guards around Xi reacted quickly enough and rushed up in time to block it. And more soldiers began to follow suit, but most of them did not have the consciousness of Yu Xi's personal guards to sacrifice for the young general, so they could only crowd around the trap and no one was willing to move forward, and for a while they directly became the live targets of the crossbowmen on the hillside, and finally the soldiers behind directly pushed the corpses of the people in front of them into the trap before they could continue to move forward.

Compared with taking the initiative to step forward on a path, this way of moving forward requires more sacrifices every time, but these corpses are pushed into the pit, and the not too deep pit is quickly filled, and the people behind naturally do not need to climb up and down like Yu Xi, and it can even be said to be "walking on the ground".

Yu Yi, who was standing at the foot of the hillside, almost gritted his teeth when he watched his soldiers move forward with such difficulty.

This is a "road" that is piled up with life.

At this time, Li Xinchen on the hillside did not say a word.

What appeared in front of him was the dark side of Chiguoguo's human nature.
