Zhao Shen stood in the middle of the road holding a sword. He was still wearing tattered cloth and even his hair was messy. However, there were more than two thousand soldiers and horses standing behind him, which made him taller.
He casually and calmly raised his head to look at Xun Xiu on the horse, with a slight smile on his lips, "General Xun came back later than I expected. It seems very unsmart."
Xun Xiu clenched the knife in his hand. Sure enough, Zhao Ming's son hated it as much as he did, especially his mouth.
He ordered in a deep voice, "Kill!"
The Xun family army behind him was about to charge and kill him. Zhao Shen also raised his sword and shouted: "Kill!"
People appeared from the houses on both sides of the street from the other side. The bows in their hands were fully drawn. After Zhao Shen gave the order, they fired arrows in unison. As soon as the arrows were released, they immediately lay back, and behind them
A row of soldiers stood up again and shot down...
This is the main street of Meng County. It is very wide, but no matter how wide the street is, it is narrow as a battlefield. The archers on the rooftops do not need to specifically aim. As long as the arrows are shot downward, most of them can hit people.
Naturally, arrows were shot towards Xun Xiu. Xun Xiu slashed down the flying arrows with his sword. Seeing the many casualties among the soldiers, he couldn't help but became furious and said, "My son Zhao, you are despicable and shameless!"
Zhao Shen looked surprised, "You ungrateful and rebellious general, you have the nerve to describe my normal ambush as despicable? Then who are you?"
"You, you -" Xun Xiu was so angry that he completely forgot to wait for the soldiers at the rear to come up and charge together to kill him. He directly raised his sword and rode towards Zhao Shen...
Zhao Shen was waiting for him. His eyes were sharp. When he rode his horse and slashed with his sword, he bent his body and stepped quickly. His body rose and fell like a swallow. He dodged the sword, grabbed the ground with his heels, and turned his body.
, draw a semicircle with the foot as the center of the circle, move the sword in his hand horizontally, and strike hard at the horse's leg...
The war horses neighed and raised their hooves. Not only did Xun Xiu's next blow fail, but the man was also knocked down.
At this time, Zhao Shen also dodged the horse's hooves that were falling again, jumped to the side and stopped, looking at Xun Xiu with a slight breath, and said with a smile: "This is only fair."
Otherwise, he would suffer too much if he was under the horse.
Xun Xiu knew that he could not give Zhao Shen a chance to speak. This man's mouth was very annoying, so he stopped and went to kill Zhao Shen.
Zhao Shen faced him without fear, and the soldiers behind him also shouted loudly and rushed forward to kill him.
A scuffle broke out on the main street.
I don’t know how long the killing lasted, but the number of people on the street gradually decreased, and the refugee army brought by Zhao Jiajun and Zhao Shen was even smaller. After all, they only had less than 4,000 people, and Xun Xiu had more people than them.
When Shen was already struggling to hold on, there was a cry of killing. He turned around and saw a flag with the word "Xun" propped up on the opposite side.
Zhao Shen almost gave up. He fought his way out, looked around, and shouted: "Wenda, Wenda..."
Yan Wenda felt tired, but had to answer, "What are you shouting for?"
Zhao Shen said in a solemn voice: "Take the remaining people away, disperse into the streets, and run for their lives!"
After that, he found Xun Xiu in the crowd and rushed to kill Xun Xiu. He regained his strength and jumped up, stepping on people to attack and kill Xun Xiu.
There was a cold gleam in his eyes, and he had no regard for life or death.
The way to eliminate this war, in addition to defeating the Xun family army militarily, is to kill Xun Xiu.
Zhao Shen jumped in front of Xun Xiu and started to kill Xun Xiu with his sword. This time, he no longer defended, but only used his killing moves. Seeing this, Xun Xiu's personal guards immediately attacked and killed him.
One man just happened to kill Zhao Jiajun who was blocking him. He turned around and saw Zhao Shen's back completely open to him. He immediately swung down the sword fiercely. Zhao Shen felt the wind of the sword, but he didn't move. Instead, he struck out with a persistent sword.
Stab Xun Xiu through, and then wait for the knife to fall...
He felt it for a long time, but it was only a moment. He didn't notice the pain, and he didn't hesitate. He turned around and jumped away. Then he took the opportunity to look back and saw the soldier holding the knife widened his eyes and a long hair between his eyebrows.
The arrow passed through, and he looked in the distance along the tail of the long arrow in surprise.
He saw a young girl with a high ponytail and a smoky maroon Hu uniform putting down the bow in her hand and staring deeply at the battlefield. Zhao Shen met her gaze and felt that there was silence in her eyes. He vaguely guessed
After her identity was revealed, before she could speak, she heard a loud voice echoing through the sky, "The general has returned to the court, the general has returned to the court -"
The Xun Family Army, who came from outside the city for support, had just joined the battlefield. When they turned around and suddenly saw Zhao Hanzhang, their hearts dropped. They didn't even need Zhao Hanzhang to shout to disarm and not kill him. They themselves put down their weapons with a loud bang.
The people hiding in the house became excited when they saw Zhao Hanzhang. Regardless of the rebels outside, they took a basin and a stick from the kitchen and ran out, banging the wooden basin and shouting: "Big
The general has returned to the court, the general has returned to the court..."
When the people in the room heard it, they all rushed out, shouting two, then four, and the sound instantly resounded throughout the city.
Zhao Shen was still holding his sword and staring closely at the Xun Xiu soldiers surrounding him, but when the Xun Xiu soldiers saw Zhao Hanzhang, their hands shook and they dispersed, not attacking Zhao Shen again.
As soon as they got out of the way, Zhao Hanzhang's eyes directly met Xun Xiu, who was holding on to his knife and barely standing still.
When Xun Xiu saw her, he couldn't help but laugh miserably, knowing that the situation was over.
I thought this was Zhao Shen's plan to mislead the troops, but I didn't expect it to be a delaying strategy. Zhao Hanzhang actually returned to the court, and he looked very healthy and did not look like he was injured.
Zhao Shen's sword did not hurt his vitals, but the blood was constantly pouring out. If the bleeding did not stop, he might die from excessive blood loss.
But it was not the time to think about this at this time. He looked around and saw that the people following him were all familiar people. He couldn't help but feel sorry. He originally rebelled because of his uncertain future and dissatisfaction, but he didn't think of it.
, and ended up costing his life.
Zhao Hanzhang arrived so quickly and quietly that he didn't even have the escape route he had specially left.
Xun Xiu raised the knife in front of his neck, thinking he was about to kill himself. An arrow shot out, grazing his hand and pricking him on the ground. His wrist hurt, and the knife fell to the ground as soon as he let go.
He looked at Zhao Hanzhang in surprise as he came to shoot the arrow.
The Xun army put down their weapons, and the surviving Zhao army and the army behind Zhao Hanzhang surrounded them and took them aside. Zhao Hanzhang then threw his bow to Zhao Kuan behind him and rode forward.
Zhao Shen then watched the crowd make way for Zhao Hanzhang, his eyes flashed, and he stared at her with keen eyesight.
His gaze was so hot that Zhao Hanzhang couldn't help but glance at him, but he only glanced away at Xun Xiu, who was downcast.
Zhao Hanzhang rode on his horse, looked at him condescendingly and asked, "Where is Wang Han?"
Xun Xiu looked at her with wide eyes. After a moment, he became even more depressed and said in despair: "In my house."
Zhao Hanzhang turned to look at Zhao Kuan.
Zhao Kuan understood, but before pulling his horse and leaving, he still said hello to the young man on the ground: "Cousin Shen."
Zhao Shen stared at him with sharp eyes, and then said, "Cousin Kuan, why are you so stupid? You don't look like a fool from aristocratic family at all."
Zhao Kuan's face was as gentle as ever. He ignored his words and only introduced, "This is the general, third sister."
