Li Xiao’s expression froze.
Seeing Lin Xiaoyue staring at him without blinking, a hint of helplessness flashed across his eyes.
“Alright!” He said dotingly.
“But you have to come with me. You’re not allowed to act alone.” He thought for a moment and added.
Swords and spears were blind on the battlefield. Although he believed that his wife had the ability to protect herself, he was still afraid of the risk.
“Okay!” Lin Xiaoyue smiled and agreed.
Then, she stopped lying in Li Xiao’s arms and quickly got up.
“Then let’s quickly put on our armor. The news from Chu said that the Jin army will attack tonight, but they didn’t say what time it is. “The sky could turn dark at any time.
“Okay!” Li Xiao smiled and responded, cooperating with Lin Xiaoyue.
Night came quickly.
After night fell, the atmosphere in the camp changed.
The leisurely celebration during the day was gone. The soldiers patrolled and changed positions in an orderly manner. They were all ready.
Lin Xiaoyue accompanied Li Xiao to stay in the main tent. She waited until after midnight before finally receiving the news of the Jin Army’s attack.
The sentry acted according to their previous plan, pretending to celebrate the festival and retreating into the pa.s.s.
He allowed thousands of Jin soldiers to enter the gate easily.
When Li Xiao heard the news, he brought Lin Xiaoyue out of the tent.
He personally went up the mountain.
After confirming that the Jin army had entered the encirclement at the foot of the mountain, Li Xiao gave the order for the Nangong Army to start attacking.
At the same time, on the seemingly empty gate tower of Iron Gate Mountain, a large number of Nangong soldiers suddenly appeared, waving flags and shouting.
Immediately, the city gates closed, and the thousands of Jin soldiers became turtles in a jar.
The Jin army that was surrounded in the city was shot by countless arrows from the Nangong Army’s high ground. Their resistance was futile, and they all fled towards the city tower.
However, there were already hundreds of Nangong soldiers waiting outside the city tower.
Yes, they were all armed with crossbows that could shoot ten arrows in a row.
Before the Jin army could even get within ten meters of them, they were shot to death by the crossbows.
At the same time, the Nangong Army stopped their arrow attacks. They all took their sabers and went down the mountain to pursue the poor bandits.
The Jin army was already in chaos. They were like rats crossing the street, becoming the targets of the Nangong Army.
Lin Xiaoyue stood beside Li Xiao and looked at the tragic killing scene in the snow. It was a little exciting.
War was more brutal than the apocalypse.
“Let’s go and take a look at the city tower.” Li Xiao looked at Lin Xiaoyue.
Seeing that his wife did not show any discomfort, he felt a little relieved.
“Yes.” Lin Xiaoyue replied.
Only then did Li Xiao draw his sword and walk down the mountain.
Lin Xiaoyue and a few members of the Nangong Army followed. The Nangong Army also drew their swords and surrounded Lin Xiaoyue as they walked down the mountain.
Lin Xiaoyue was not used to using a sword. Although she did not hold a weapon in her hand, she took out her crossbow.
With his arms and crossbows, he could protect himself.
At the foot of the mountain, Li Xiao personally opened the way.
When they found Jin soldiers blocking their way, they would directly kill them.
Each slash was like a killing G.o.d from h.e.l.l.
The few Nangong Army soldiers surrounding Lin Xiaoyue were the same. They maintained their formation and ignored the enemy troops that were further away from them. However, as long as the enemy troops were near them, they would not be able to escape their fate.
Lin Xiaoyue originally wanted to kill some of the enemy troops, but seeing how powerful her teammates were, she saved herself the trouble.
After all, she didn’t have many arrows left in her crossbow. If she used them up, she would have to find them or replenish them.
In the Jin army, there was a chiliarch who was still alive.
Noticing that Li Xiao and the others were heading towards him, he quickly made up his mind.
“The commander of the Yan army is on the other side. Kill him and we might be able to escape! Everyone, follow me to kill the enemy!” With a loud shout, the chiliarch dragged his sword and turned back, charging towards Li Xiao and the others.
When the soldiers near the chiliarch heard this, they all followed suit.
A large number of Jin soldiers chose to turn back and no longer headed towards the city gate. They wanted to kill Li Xiao and the others with their lives.
This made the Nangong Army that was chasing after them extremely happy.
The Nangong Army waved their long swords and sabers as if they were chopping melons and vegetables, harvesting heads one by one.
After a while, another large group of Jin soldiers fell to the ground.
In the end, the captain only brought a dozen men and charged out of the encirclement of the Nangong Army, arriving in front of Li Xiao and the others.
“Kill!” Without saying anything more, he raised his long saber and charged at Li Xiao.
Li Xiao frowned and was about to pick up his saber and rush forward to finish off the other party.
With a swoosh, the thousand-man commander was shot in the forehead.
It was the short arrow of the crossbow.
For a moment, Li Xiao and the few Nangong soldiers who were protecting Lin Xiaoyue looked at Lin Xiaoyue.
At this moment, Lin Xiaoyue calmly and quickly shot out arrows. With a few consecutive arrows, the soldiers who had followed the chiliarchs out of the encirclement were also killed one by one.
The expressions of the few Nangong Army soldiers changed slightly, and the way they looked at Lin Xiaoyue turned into admiration.
As expected, Madam was indeed Madam! The matriarch of the Nangong Army was indeed extraordinary..
