A certain street in Yuecheng.
Several guards were escorting the ghost army leader. The latter might have just woken up at this time, and his clothes were not neatly dressed.
There were shouts of killing everywhere in the city, and there was chaos.
Several people were walking in a hurry. As they were walking, a guard also said urgently: "General, the city gate has been breached. Our army is almost unable to withstand it. If we don't leave, it will be too late..."
"Quick, quick, escort me from the north gate." The ghost army leader was already panicking at this time.
But as soon as he finished speaking, several guards suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" The ghost army leader followed suit.
"General..." The guard's tone clearly revealed his nervousness. As he spoke, several people immediately protected the ghost army leader behind them.
On the road directly ahead, Xiao Yuan was already standing there at some unknown time.
He held a knife in one hand, stared at the ghost army leader coldly, and said in a cold voice: "Leave the head before leaving."
If you leave your head behind, can you still leave?
The ghost army leader knew some Central Plains language. After hearing this, he immediately pointed at Xiao Yuan and shouted: "Quick! Kill him!"
Without his order, the four guards all drew out the scimitars from their waists and attacked Xiao Yuan directly.
Four people, with four knives, attacked Xiao Yuan's vital points from four directions. The latter swung his sword continuously. After blocking, he retreated, and then aimed at the person on the left, hitting the head with a knife.
The man had just thrust out a knife, and was still recovering. He had no time to react, and the powerful and heavy knife came directly down, splitting it in two from the middle!
Blood mist sprayed, and the other three were shocked, but before they could react, Xiao Yuan's knife arrived again.
He jumped up, moved his steps laterally, and used a strange movement technique to sneak to the side of the three people, and then swung his sword horizontally.
With a lightning-fast knife, the opponent didn't even scream, and three heads were severed at the neck.
This is a long story, but in fact the whole process happened in just a moment.
After getting rid of the four guards, Xiao Yuan shook off the blood on the tip of his knife and turned to face the ghost army leader.
At this moment, the ghost army leader was already frightened. Looking at the four guards who had lost their heads, his eyes widened. He swallowed hard, then turned and ran away without saying a word.
As a result, as soon as he moved, Xiao Yuan rushed forward. Only two people jumped up, and people were blocking him again.
"Ah!?" The latter was shocked and stepped back. Seeing that there was no way to escape, he suddenly knelt on the ground and said in blunt Central Plains language: "Spare... spare my life..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yuan swung his knife mercilessly.
Another severed head fell to the ground, clean and neat.
Afterwards, Xiao Yuan picked up the severed head of the ghost army leader and walked quickly in the direction of his own army.
At this time, as Lu Bolin's main army all entered the city, the ghost army was caught off guard and had already been defeated. The street fighting was nearing its end.
The remaining forces of the ghost army in the city were also surrounded by the Central Plains army at this moment and were shrinking in front of the Colosseum.
When Xiao Yuan arrived here, he saw exactly this scene.
Lu Bolin, protected by several generals, stood at the front of the crowd. At this time, a general approached him and said, "Commander Lu, Xiao Yuan wants to see you."
"Oh? Hasn't he died in the battle yet?" Lu Bolin raised his eyebrows and didn't care much: "Let him come over."
Not long after, Xiao Yuan walked over. When he saw Lu Bolin, he also clasped his fists and saluted: "I see you, Commander Lu!"
In his hand, he was holding a bloody human head.
"No need to be polite." Lu Bolin waved his hand, then his eyes fell on the head of the person, and he couldn't help but asked: "This is..."
"This is the head of the leader of the Moon City Ghost Army!" Xiao Yuan said directly.
"What!?" When Lu Bolin heard this, he was surprised at first, and then he also showed joy.
Now that the remaining forces of the ghost army have not been wiped out, it would be great to have the head of the opponent's general!
Without saying a word, he directly raised the severed head, then faced the ghost army in front, raised the severed head high, and said in a loud voice: "Listen! Your general is dead! Put down your weapons and surrender now! Otherwise, there is only death. One piece!"
In the previous battles against the ghost army, Lu Bolin had always been the commander of the Central Plains army. He had been dealing with the ghost army for so long, and he knew more or less the ghost language.
Under the encirclement, a group of ghost soldiers were holding spears in their hands. They were already very nervous. Now when they heard this and saw that Lu Bolin's hand was cut off, many people couldn't help but start looking around, showing a look of ignorance. A confused look.
After Lu Bolin finished speaking, he directly threw the head of the ghost army leader into the crowd.
The severed head fell into the ghost army. With a crash, many people stepped back. Not long after, some of the ghost soldiers in the front row could no longer withstand the pressure. They lost their will to resist and couldn't help but throw away the long weapons in their hands. spear.
As soon as one person started, the sound of spears falling to the ground was heard one after another.
Lu Bolin was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately waved his hand: "Take them all!"
He gave the order, and the surrounding Central Plains soldiers stepped forward one after another, working in teams of two, to detain all the ghost soldiers.
With the surrender of the remaining forces of these ghost armies, the night attack on Moon City was also declared a victory. At this time, Lu Bolin also looked at Xiao Yuan. He laughed first, and then said: "Yes, Xiao Yuan, this time we captured Yuecheng, you are indispensable, and I will definitely report to the court to express your contribution."
As he spoke, he looked around at the generals and said loudly again: "Listen to the order! From now on, Xiao Yuan will be the commander of the first line of our infantry!"
"Yes!" all the generals said in unison.
Later, a general also said to Xiao Yuan: "Xiao Yuan, why don't you thank Lu Shuai quickly?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan quickly knelt down on one knee, intervened and saluted: "Thank you so much, Commander Lu!"
"Haha - okay..." Lu Bolin was delighted again.
You must know that he has always been at a disadvantage against the ghost army before, especially after losing Yuecheng, his future is even more worrying. If he loses again, given the situation at the time, he will most likely be overthrown by the political enemies in the court.
This time, Moon City was recaptured from the ghost army. This was a great victory. The crisis was averted, so how could he not be happy.
And he is far from as good a person as he seems on the surface. It can be said that he acknowledged Xiao Yuan's military exploits on the surface, but in fact, it was impossible for him to mention Xiao Yuan in his memorial to the court. .
On the other side, after the chaotic battle in Yuecheng, Peng Shuang also found Xiao Yuan covered in blood. Seeing that he was fine, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and said half-jokingly: "I thought you died in the battle."
Nothing can enhance mutual friendship more than being on the battlefield and fighting side by side.
In this battle, Xiao Yuan's calmness and ability have impressed Peng Shuang.
