The fiefdom increases by 1 soldier in 1 second, and the empress kneels down and begs not to rebel

Arrows were flying like rain, and as the machine's expansion was turned, short crossbow arrows were shot out one after another.

Although these arrows are much shorter than those shot by a longbow, they are faster and can shoot several in succession in a short period of time.

If there are multiple people holding crossbows, a dense rain of arrows can form in a moment.

At this moment, on this wide avenue, arrows were already raining down. They came suddenly, like a sudden storm, like a violent storm.

The arrow fell into the group of soldiers and horses, and the group of soldiers and horses that rushed over immediately suffered heavy damage.

After running around for days, although not everyone in the army was exhausted, there were still many who were sleepy.

After all, the order they received was to rush to Zhongnang Pass and then use the power of Zhongnang Pass to defeat the rebels.

Therefore, during this journey, apart from stopping at night, we were rushing. After arriving at Zhongnan Pass, the rebels might not have arrived yet, so they might be able to rest for a while.

But the enemy attack encountered here made everyone understand that the Bailiyuan War was over, and even the critical Zhongnan Pass had been broken!

Therefore, they encountered this encounter.

Among the soldiers and horses shooting crossbows, Li Jing was at the rear of the army. He looked calm and commanded the battle calmly.

For this battle, he had already prepared in his heart.

Our side entered Zhongnan Pass, but there were soldiers and horses from the imperial court arriving inside the pass. This was known information.

The soldiers and horses who came for reinforcements did not know that Zhongnan Pass had been breached, nor did they know that there were already soldiers and horses continuing to move south. This was information that the enemy did not have.

The army will continue to advance directly into Jinling, so it must fight all the way without stopping.

That means that there will be an encounter next.

An encounter refers to a battle that occurs when two sides suddenly meet in the same area and have no time to deploy their forces and tactics.

The result of an encounter is often that the brave wins, because both sides have no time to think and deploy the war.

In a battle where the opposing armies meet on the move, the basic way to win is to take the initiative.

For this reason, Li Jing's order was: "When encountering enemy troops, shoot them directly with crossbow arrows to catch them off guard!"

This is to make an enemy first.

This includes deploying firepower before the enemy, seizing favorable terrain before the enemy, launching an attack before the enemy, etc., striving to annihilate the enemy in a sudden attack or ambush.

This is a direct road. It is not possible to deploy troops to attack based on the terrain, so it is more appropriate to directly use a sudden attack.

Of course, if the enemy has more troops, a sudden attack may not be effective.

It is even possible that after the first wave of victory, the enemy will gradually counterattack, thus gradually falling into a disadvantage in subsequent battles.

But Li Jing understood one thing.

He didn't know how many enemy reinforcements there were, but he knew enough about how many soldiers and horses the lord had.

The reinforcements sent by the imperial court were obvious compared with the reinforcements sent by the Lord from Zhongnan Pass.

It was precisely because of this that he dared to take the lead in attacking with these soldiers and horses in his hands.

And he fought bravely and hard.

Exactly at this moment.

Amidst the flying crossbows, large numbers of enemy soldiers and horses fell, and screams and wails could be heard one after another.

Otherwise, the enemy forces were in chaos.

The soldiers ran around randomly, but they did not dare to rush towards the arrows and break the arrow array.

This is like an old farmer using a shovel to open up the nest of rats living under the farmland.

The mice stayed in their nest, but how could they expect that one day, the farmer would shovel them down with a shovel?

Usually, when living in a rat nest, if the rats in the nest sense that danger is coming, they will squeak a few times and show their teeth in an attempt to scare off the intruders.

But the shovel that suddenly came down had already shoveled away the soil and broke the rat's nest.

At this point, even the most ferocious rat did not dare to scream threateningly, or climb up the shovel pole and bite the old farmer.

Therefore, at this critical moment, the rats could only take the mice and run away like crazy.

Of course, in the face of life and death, the rats probably couldn't care less about the mice.

At this time, whoever runs faster can escape. If you are a step slower, you will get a shovel.

And this is exactly the moment.

Among the soldiers and horses who were shot by crossbow arrows, the deputy general shouted to the general Jin Ye who led them:

"General, the rebels have actually reached here!"

"This crossbow arrow is coming with ferocity, and I don't know how many rebels have come in. What should I do?"

The general's name is Jin Ye. He is about thirty years old and tall. Although the armor adds a bit of heroism, his body is a bit bloated.

At this moment, his face was covered with sweat, and panic and fear were visible to the naked eye on his fair face.

Hearing this, he screamed in a high-pitched voice:

"Zhongnan Pass has been breached, and the rebels have invaded our area. Why do we need support?"

"Withdraw! Withdraw!"

"Quickly leave! There is no way to support us!"

He pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and added a few more words:

"General Zhenguo asked us to go to Zhongnanguan. He said he would stop the rebels there, but he didn't mean to let us fight the rebels here!"

"Quickly retreat, quickly retreat! Who knows how many rebels have entered the border!"

"Let's go first! We'll inform General Zhenguo before we make plans!"

"General Zhenguo must know how to fight!"

With a roar, he punched the horse's belly and ran away without looking back.

In this way, this battle is not yet a formal battle, but the general has chosen to flee.

As a result, this hurried reinforcements started to rush back.

There were arrows and feathers, roars and wails intertwined,

Li Jing raised his chin slightly and shouted loudly:

"do not stop!"

"The enemy is trying to escape, but his momentum has weakened. Just let me chase him all the way!"

-

A few hours later.

Another army rushing to Zhongnan Pass heard shouts from the front, and soon after, they also saw the embarrassed soldiers and horses.

"Go, go, go!"

"The rebels have broken through Zhongnan Pass! They are coming to kill us!"

"What?! Zhongnan Pass has been breached!?"

"It's broken, it's broken! They're all fucking coming!"

"Don't go, you will die if you go!"

"What?! How strong are the rebels? Are they many?!"

"The fucking crossbows kept firing, and they kept chasing us. You can only imagine how many troops there are!"

"So fast!? Isn't Xiong Qian still in Bailiyuan! The city defense at Zhongnan Pass..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a shout from afar:

"If you don't retreat, then go ahead and fight. Don't block my way!" Jin Ye shouted angrily.
