Chapter 445
Lin Xiaoyue was satisfied that the arrow was not empty, so she put down the crossbow.
Seeing that everyone looked at him, smiled, and said, "Go on."
Li Xiao raised the corner of his lips.
"Follow." He said, and continued to move forward.
However, the few Chiwu troops could not calm down.
There are a lot of brothers in front of them, and the road has been cleared long ago. They wanted to kill the enemy, but they didn't have to.
But there is time to chat with their wife.
"Ma'am, your crossbow is so powerful! When will you be able to get one for the villain?" A Chiwu Army asked Lin Xiaoyue in a pleasing manner.
"Yeah, ma'am! We have so many people going back to the border this time. Just the more than 100 brothers have been allocated crossbows. Everyone is greedy." Another Chiwu army followed.
"Madam—" The other two Chiwu soldiers also spoke quickly.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled again and again as she was surrounded and moved forward.
"What's the hurry? The production technology of the arm crossbow has been reported, and the court will step up its production."
"When things come out, we must give priority to the brothers of our Chiwu Army."
This is almost certain.
Because this thing works better on people with good skills.
In the war, the Chiwu Army often acted as a vanguard or a fortified team.
Equipped with such weapons, the combat effectiveness and destructiveness of the Chiwu Army will be even stronger.
For ordinary soldiers, tying an arm crossbow on their arms may also affect their original combat strength.
When several Chi Wujun heard this, their eyes lit up.
One by one, they flattered Lin Xiaoyue.
Others don't know the situation, but they have heard some news.
This crossbow was said to have been developed by the Chiwu Army Weapons Battalion, but it actually had a lot to do with his wife.
Some people even suspected that the arm crossbow was developed by their wife.
Lin Xiaoyue responded with a smile, feeling quite useful.
As time passed, Lin Xiaoyue and others finally slowly approached the tower.
At this time, thousands of Jin troops have all fallen.
The Chiwu Army cleared the battlefield.
Above the city tower, the battle is coming to an end.
This time, the Jin army did come with 10,000 people, 6,000 people entered the city, and the remaining 4,000 people did not enter the city.
When they found out that they had been fooled, 4,000 people outside the city wanted to try to rescue those in the city and launched a siege.
It is a pity that the gate tower of Tiemenguan is very high, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The Jin army tried several consecutive storms, but all ended in failure.
And under the attack of bows and arrows and boulders of the Chiwu Army, the losses were not small.
By the time Li Xiao and Lin Xiaoyue climbed the tower, the Jin army had already given up.
The time has dragged on for too long, and now even if they break through the city gate, the people in the city must have died.
This sneak attack has failed, and if it continues, it will only lose more.
Not far away, Xu Qing, who was riding on a horse, looked gloomy.
When the master went to war, he asked himself to be a general, and wanted to win the Tiemen Mountain for the master and make the first contribution.
But they were beaten.
They brought 10,000 horses out, but now I'm afraid they can only bring back less than 3,000 people.
Thinking of the ridicule and humiliation that he might suffer after going back, Xu Qing almost clenched his teeth.
"Who is guarding this iron gate?" Xu Qing asked through gritted teeth.
He doesn't believe it, and he doesn't believe that the gatekeeper on the opposite side is just a mere, petty official of the fief of the vassal.
The opponent's calculations are very deep, and these soldiers guarding the city, all brave, are not ordinary soldiers.
At this moment, shouts came from the tower.
"Marshal Li of the Third Army is here, ask who is the general leading the army on the opposite side?" a soldier shouted loudly.
Xu Qing's face was startled.
Marshal of the Army? The one named Li Xiao?
Yes, they already knew who the commander-in-chief of the Yan Army was, but for the time being, they had not found out the details of the other party.
All I know is that the other party is from the new king of Yan State, and he is quite valued.
"Tell the other party." Thinking of this, Xu Qingchong said to the soldier beside him.
The soldiers immediately stepped forward, raised the volume, and shouted at the opposite side: "This is General Xu Qing of the Great Jin Dynasty!"
Above the tower, Li Xiao and Lin Xiaoyue were both startled.
Xu Qing? Was it the disciple Xu Yan took to participate in the arithmetic competition?
Such a coincidence?
Li Xiao and Lin Xiaoyue looked at each other, then took a step forward.
"Under Li Xiao, please talk to General Xu Qing." He said.
Hearing this, Xu Qing felt that the speaker was unusual.
After thinking about it, he immediately drove forward.
It didn't stop until the front of the line.
This distance is just enough to see the people on the tower clearly under the firelight, but it will not be hit by the arrows of the people on the tower.
Xu Qing was shocked when he saw Li Xiao.
There was no way, mainly because of Li Xiao's figure, and the scar on his face was too obvious.
What Li Xiao? This person is clearly surnamed Nangong!
Yes, Xu Qing knew or had seen Nangong Xiao. To be precise, he had seen the portrait of Nangong Xiao.
After all, this is the son of Nangong Zhan, the god of war of the Yan Kingdom, and the number one general of Nangong Zhan.
Thinking again of today's battle, he lost so tragically, Xu Qing suddenly became less angry.
When Nangong Xiao appeared, the Chiwu Army should be in the city.
The Chiwu Army are all elite soldiers and strong generals, and these people he brought are indeed not opponents.
Having figured this out, Xu Qing not only was no longer angry, but rather felt a little fortunate.
Knowing that Nangong Xiao and Chi Wujun returned, they were psychologically prepared, and then they could make a more stable layout.
Eyes shifted slightly.
Immediately, Xu Qing's expression changed again.
Glancing at Lin Xiaoyue again, Xu Qing gritted his teeth in his heart.
It's really her! That Mrs. Li! She even came!
No, Li-
Xu Qing was shocked.
Suddenly thought of something.
The Yan people called her Madam Li because of her husband's surname Li.
And Nangong Xiao, whose current pseudonym is Li Xiao.
Is it—
Master mentioned before that the national teacher of Yan Guo was Nangong Xiao's master.
As for Madam Li, she had a close relationship with the national teacher of the State of Yan.
God, these three people have already become a family.
So, he and Master's enemies are all together now?
"Oh, it turns out to be Master Xu Yan's disciple. Mr. Xu Qing, it's been a long time!" Lin Xiaoyue also saw Xu Qing, took a step forward, and said to the other party.
Xu Qing suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face.
"It's been a long time since Mrs. Li."
"I really didn't expect that I would be here today and see Madam again." After speaking, Xu Qing glanced at Li Xiao.
"Marshal Li, I'm so lucky." Then he said again.
There was also a smile on Li Xiao's face.
"Exceeded the prize." Chong Xu Qing bowed his hands, accepting the other's blessing.
At this time, Xu Qing felt that he wanted to vomit blood.
This man is really thick-skinned.
However, Li Xiao's answer made him sure that the two were really husband and wife.
"Marshal Li really won the true legend of the God of War. In this battle, Xu Qing was convinced that he lost." Xu Qing quickly said again.
Li Xiao didn't smile this time.
"Li Xiao was ordered to guard the border, and would not let go of the enemy's soldiers and soldiers and enter the hinterland of Dayan."
"As an acquaintance, I asked General Xu Qing to go back and tell Master Xu Yan to stop the battle as soon as possible. Report to Emperor Jin and continue the previous Three Kingdoms Covenant."
Xu Qing lowered his head without a trace, a sneer across his face.
Quit the war? With only a few thousand Chiwu Army?
On this expedition, they brought a hundred thousand troops, and they also united the Chu army.
Don't say that there are only a few thousand Chiwu troops on the Yan army side, even tens of thousands, and don't try to stop them.
"I'll tell you when I make up my mind." Although Xu Qing thought so in his heart, Xu Qing still replied.
There is nothing to lose if he agrees. Besides, he is still in a weak position right now, so there is really no need to offend the other party.
If the Chiwu Army suddenly went mad and ran out of the city to chase and kill him, he might not be able to bring back all the people left.
"Thank you." Li Xiao bowed his hands politely.
Xu Qing also rushed upstairs and cupped his hands, turning his horse's head and leaving.
After Xu Qing left, Lin Xiaoyue looked at Li Xiao.
"Why tell him this?"
Li Xiao looked at his daughter-in-law fondly.
"Don't tell me, he can also find out the identity of the Chiwu Army and me. In that case, it's okay to expose it actively."
Seeing that everyone looked at him, smiled, and said, "Go on."
Li Xiao raised the corner of his lips.
"Follow." He said, and continued to move forward.
However, the few Chiwu troops could not calm down.
There are a lot of brothers in front of them, and the road has been cleared long ago. They wanted to kill the enemy, but they didn't have to.
