Chapter 436 Surround us!
Xu Polu's expression suddenly became solemn!
He acted quickly and deployed his troops in battle array with decisive command.
The two thousand soldiers seemed like a sophisticated war machine. Each of them wore a shiny helmet and armor, which gleamed coldly in the sun.
The helmets were fastened tightly on their heads, protecting their vital parts and giving them a feeling of indestructibility.
They stood in a row neatly, their movements in unison, as if they had been measured with a ruler. Everyone stood straight and tall, with no fear of death in their eyes!
Even the war horses seemed to feel the tense atmosphere and did not dare to neigh.
Just as Xu Polu had finished assembling his troops, a group of war horses came galloping over: "Master Chen, General Xu, Master Xiao has sent a report of the battle. The enemy has appeared in the south, probably several thousand people!"
"Master Xu said that he would go back to guard the emperor and asked Master Chen to be careful!"
Chen Changan frowned slightly: "Where are they from? What are they wearing? What's their purpose?"
"Unknown!" The messenger reported back, "These people are all dressed in black, and their bodies are bulging with explosives. If they can't win, they will blow themselves up. Our troops have suffered heavy losses!"
"Master Xiao said that this is the death warrior, so he must protect the emperor!"
Chen Changan took a deep breath, but before he could react, he heard another explosion.
This time it’s Chengnan!
Chen Changan gritted his teeth and watched the flames rising into the sky in the distance without giving any orders.
After a while, the scout came over and said, "Master Chen, General Xu, a battle broke out in the south of the city, and our army suffered heavy losses!"
"About 500 people rushed out of the houses, with explosives tied to their bodies. They rushed to our camp regardless of their lives, but the position was still in our hands!"
"The general defending the city requests support!"
Chen Changan's eyes narrowed and he just shook his head slightly.
He didn't react in time and wanted to bring people over to rescue, but... there was no movement here.
There were wars all over Baidi, but this place was the only place that was peaceful...
Is this normal?
Xu Polu seemed a little worried: "Master Chen, the city is in chaos. We..."
"No need." Chen Changan shook his head. "First, King Jing'an doesn't have many loyal followers. He only has these three tricks at the beginning, and that's it."
"Secondly, at times like this, we must remain calm. How do you know this isn't a trick to lure the enemy?"
"Pass on my order. The three armies are on alert and must not act rashly."
More than 2,000 people stood there like silent sculptures, fully alert.
Their eyes were sharp, staring closely at every corner around them, not missing any suspicious signs.
There was a heavy atmosphere in the air, as if it had been compressed into substance.
The atmosphere was heavy and oppressive, making it almost impossible to breathe.
Probably more than an hour later, a group of generals suddenly rushed out from the front. They threw away their armor and ran madly towards Chen Changan.
"You bastard, why didn't you send someone over here!"
"Hurry, hurry, the enemy is chasing us!"
Seeing the person who was shouting clearly through the telescope, Xu Polu took a deep breath and said, "It's Li Longxiang!"
"Li Longxiang?"
"Yes!" Xu Polu explained, "He is the deputy general of General Zuo under Lord Xiao. General Zuo was ordered to guard the south of the city. He was the one who sent people to ask us for help just now!"
"Master Chen, look..."
At this time, the two were only a hundred meters apart!
Chen Changan's eyes narrowed and he waved his hand suddenly. The young man understood what Chen Changan meant and raised his long gun!
One hundred meters!
Ninety meters!
Eighty meters!
……
When they moved 50 meters and entered the range, Chen Changan moved his hand back down!
Snap, snap, snap!!
Dozens of young men raised their guns in an instant and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
The sound of gunfire rang out like popping beans, breaking the originally solemn atmosphere.
The bullets passed by like meteors. Although they did not hurt anyone, they hit the war horses one after another!
Those tall and strong war horses howled in pain under the sudden attack.
"what!"
"what's the situation?"
"Why did you kill our horses?"
Bullets pierced the horse's body and blood gushed out instantly.
The war horses struggled in fear, their bodies rolled violently, their eyes were filled with pain, their four hooves kicked helplessly in the air, and the knights on the horses fell heavily to the ground!
After seeing this scene, Xu Polu was at a loss!
Lord Chen, he...is one of our own?
"Xu Polu, give me a fucking explanation!"
Li Longxiang looked at his warhorse, turned around and panted at Xu Polu, roaring loudly.
"me……"
Xu Bolu was helpless. It wasn't him who ordered the shooting. What explanation could he give him?
Chen Changan laughed and said, "Li Longxiang, I'm not saying anything bad about you. What's wrong with working under Lord Xiao? Why do you have to be a dog for Prince Jing'an?"
"I don't understand what you mean!" Li Longxiang was furious. "I can't beat King Jing'an, so what's wrong with coming here for help?"
"If you don't want to help, then don't help. Why are you killing our horses?"
"You really won't give up until you see the Yellow River." Chen Changan shook his head, "Although your plan is perfect, you didn't expect me to be here."
"First, Prince Jing'an's men are very good. Even if they can gain a temporary advantage, they will not be able to achieve the final victory, let alone kill you and make you flee in disarray."
"Second, although there are traces of fighting on your bodies, that was an explosion. How come there is no blood at all?"
"Third, although the armor is heavy, it can provide good protection. What is that bulging thing around your waist?"
"And... never mind. There are too many similar flaws to count."
Chen Changan laughed and said, "Why, admit defeat or not?"
Only then did Xu Bolu realize that there were so many loopholes!
Since Chen Changan had already seen through him, Li Longxiang simply stopped pretending: "Humph, you are indeed very smart, but Chen Changan, I don't accept you!"
Li Longxiang opened his chest, which was full of explosives. "Now we are only 50 meters away. We have to fight for our lives and take a few people with us!"
"But to be honest, I don't want to see my brothers torn to pieces!"
"Use cold weapons. You don't need guns, and I don't need explosives. Fight us to the death!"
Chen Changan was unwilling to risk the lives of his soldiers, but what Li Longxiang said was right. There were a few seconds of time to reload the gun after firing a shot. If the opponent threw explosives at this time, it would definitely be of no benefit.
Seeing Chen Changan in trouble, Xu Polu shook his head and said, "Master Chen, let us go!"
"What Li Longxiang said is also what we think in our hearts. We are not willing to be torn to pieces and leave them with an intact body!"
Chen Changan nodded, and Xu Polu dismounted!
"Prepare to charge!"
Following Xu Polu's order, two thousand soldiers instantly burst out with a strong desire to fight!
They held their weapons tightly, with a determined look in their eyes, like sharp swords about to be unsheathed, ready to strike.
"kill!"
Two thousand soldiers roared in unison!
The sound exploded in the air like thunder, full of power and determination. They marched in unison, like a torrent of steel, rushing forward.
at the same time.
Li Longxiang waved his hands, not caring about the explosives on his body: "Follow me and kill!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
His men and horses immediately rushed over like wild horses.
The two groups of people, like two dragons, instantly entangled each other.
The sound of weapons clashing was endless, sparks flew, soldiers shouted and fought, their figures intertwined on the battlefield, showing their unparalleled courage.
Amidst the flashing of swords and the splashing of blood, life becomes so fragile at this moment.
Some were chopped down to the ground, but struggled to get up and continue fighting; others rushed towards the enemy regardless of everything and defended their honor with their lives. The battlefield was filled with the smell of gunpowder and blood, and the shouts and screams were intertwined, forming a tragic and spectacular battle picture.
Although Li Longxiang was very brave, facing more than 2,000 people with only 200 people was simply seeking death.
In a few minutes, they lost everything.
Li Longxiang had several spears stuck in his body and looked at the sky: "Haha, long live King Jing'an!"
Xu Polu became angry when he heard this and was about to speak when another pair of soldiers rushed over, led by Xiao Zhennan.
"Brother Chen, are you okay?"
Xiao Zhennan asked fearfully.
"Master Xiao, didn't you go to protect the emperor?"
Xiao Zhennan shook his head: "The emperor has the Blood-Robed Dragon Guards around him, and Prince Jing'an doesn't seem to want to attack the emperor, so the emperor ordered me to come out and take charge."
"I just arrived and heard that a group of deserters rushed to your camp..."
Chen Changan nodded and understood: "Master Xiao, you came at the right time. I was just worrying about what to do."
"Pass the order, surround us!"
"quick!"
