In less than half a stick of incense, most of the enemy troops left behind were killed by Xu Lang and others.
After climbing another hill, Xu Lang and the general stood side by side and looked ahead. Just like before, he saw that in another forest, birds and beasts were scattered, and on a looming curved path, there was a sword standing with a horizontal sword. Obviously, this was another man and horse used by the eldest prince to stop the pursuers.
"General Zhu, do you dare to conquer another city?"
Xu Lang pointed his sword and asked the general next to him.
"Haha, General Xu, although Yun Fei is a few years older than you, he still has some courage. Now that he's here, what more can he say? One word, kill!"
The general smiled and said, of course, he is Zhu Yunfei, the lord of Yiling City.
It turned out that he also deduced that Xu Lang's army would arrive the next day. After releasing Tang Hu, he thought about it and thought that if he wanted to surrender to the Ming Lord, he must first perform a meritorious service to show his sincerity. Therefore, as soon as Tang Hu left, he immediately mobilized his troops and decided to launch a pre-dawn sneak attack while the eldest prince and others were not paying attention, hoping to have a chance to capture the eldest prince. In this way, he would have something in front of Xu Lang. Dedicated capital.
He was stationed in Yiling, had close relations with the Miao people, and was expected to become the second son-in-law of the chieftain. Therefore, he was more familiar with the situation in the mountains than others. Therefore, while he led his troops to attack the eldest prince's troops, he also deduced the direction in which the eldest prince was escaping, and sent other troops to take the small path to set up an ambush in front.
When Xu Lang's army approached the city, he had already entered the mountain first, and Yiling City seemed particularly quiet because of this.
But I didn't expect that the eldest prince was walking very fast and just happened to evacuate one step ahead of him. So, they shouted all the way and pursued fiercely to confuse the enemy's morale. In this way, there was a fight in the mountain valley. And some of the people fighting with them were the soldiers of Feihuying. Their force value was naturally much higher than that of ordinary sergeants, and they had been holding them back for a long time.
Moreover, relying on the familiar terrain, there was no large-scale team battle in the mountains. Therefore, Zhu Yunfei did not lead many troops. In addition, he underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Feihu Camp, the eldest prince, so it became a stalemate for a while.
"Wait a minute, General Xu, let my people take the lead!"
Zhu Yunfei saw that Xu Lang and others were not wearing armor, and there had just been a fight. Everyone was covered in blood, with traces of scratches from branches and miscellaneous trees, and traces of injuries from the enemy. The soldiers he brought with him , but his armor is intact, so he should be the one to charge forward.
"Okay, thank you General Zhu!"
Xu Lang knew what he was thinking. He took a look at the enemy general below and thought that the man was not Zhang Yide. He must have something to rely on if he dared to block the road with his sword alone. He was afraid that there must be other mysteries in the trees around him.
"All brothers, listen, the one with the shield is in front, the one with the spear is behind, and the one with the sword is behind. Kill!"
Zhu Yunfei was also more careful. He also knew that it would be difficult for someone to dare to cross the intersection alone.
Following his shout, the men and horses under his command rushed down from the top of the mountain in rows according to his arrangement.
However, at this time, the general with the horizontal sword was still calm as usual, holding the long sword in his hand, and did not show any fear.
Close, close.
When the two sides were less than twenty steps away, there was movement in the trees beside him.
There is indeed an ambush!
Xu Lang had a clear view on the mountain and couldn't help but sweat for the soldiers below.
Whoosh...
Immediately afterwards, arrows emerged from the forest and shot towards Zhu Yunfei's soldiers.
ah……
Immediately, there were screams one after another. After all, the distance was very close. Zhu Yunfei's men rushed from top to bottom. Even though there were shield holders in front of them to resist, they could not set up a shield formation, so some people were still shot.
But the general with the horizontal sword took this opportunity to wave his sword and faced them. Behind him, enemy soldiers jumped out one by one.
