Chapter 2 Becoming an Official (Part 6) "Why did you abandon me?" Gan Luo stared at his big golden eyes and asked seriously. His eyes were clear and deep, just like the wind on the water of Crescent Lake in winter rolling over the snowy field, pink and pink.
In the world of sex, there are pastoral songs singing quietly
"I, I want to go back to the Central Plains. The people there won't accept you!" Li Xu heard his dreamy voice and saw the big tears in Gan Luo's eyes. The wind blew and the silver wolf fell like snow.
, in the pink world, Tao Kuo floated in like smoke with his silk clothes dancing, with a smile on his brows, and whispered: "Dew couple, this word is so beautiful, you Han people are so good at talking!"
The whimpering horn sounded, and Gan Luo and Tao Kuo disappeared. The Turkic cavalry wearing scarlet cloaks roared towards them, waving sharp scimitars in their hands, chopping up all hope that Ashina Queyu rushed in.
The one at the front of the team, with his unique kindness on his face
"Woo--Woo-Woo" the horns sounded continuously. Li Xu stretched out his hand to grab the knife, but only caught the handle. The black knife that accompanied him day and night disappeared, turning into Tao Kuo's ghostly and resentful figure in mid-air.
eyes
"Fu Li, don't leave me!" Tao Kuo Tuosi cried and shouted, "Fu Li, don't leave me -"
"Woo--Woo-Woo" the horn sounded like thunder, and the Turkic cavalry rushed closer and closer.
"Ah--" Li Xu yelled and stood up suddenly from the desk. He was dizzy. He fell softly again. The moment he fell, he held the desk with both hands.
He tried his best to stand firm and saw clearly the surroundings around him. This was the residence Wang Yuantong had specially set aside for him. There were still flames beating in the charcoal basin. Everything just happened was just a dream.
"Woo-wu-wu-wu" the shrill horn sound chased him out of his dream. Li Xu grabbed the black knife and rushed out of the room. He saw several flaming people shouting and horses neighing in the direction of the city center.
The entire military camp turned into a mess.
Someone took advantage of the chaos and tried to rush into the military camp, but was ambushed in the dark by veterans of the Li Mansion who used bows and arrows to block the door. The soldiers on duty, led by junior officers, rushed to help, but were killed by the enemy's counterattack and pushed by the defeated soldiers.
He pushed and scattered his own archers. Seeing the advantage, the attackers outside yelled and pressed forward.
"Which regiment is on duty? Those who line up at the door and retreat will be killed!" Liu Hongji held a rifle and walked forward against the flow of people. He pushed horizontally twice in succession and pushed the defeated soldiers outside the door. Qin Ziying and Zhang Deyu each carried a rifle.
Holding a whip, he whipped the defeated soldiers without thinking.
"What are you running away from? Where can you run away? If you lose your army rations, let's ask everyone to kill them!" Qin Ziying, who had always been timid and stuttered, suddenly stopped stuttering and spoke more orderly. The soldiers who retreated in panic were stunned.
Yes, I turned around and turned my body.
"Commanders on duty, follow me to the other captains and gather the troops of our team!" Liu Hongji shouted, threw down his whip at Qin Ziying and Zhang Deyu, drew out his sword, and followed closely behind Liu Hongji
When Yang Fang, the captain on duty, saw that the general was going to fight in person, he did not dare to run away again. He waved his weapons and followed him. The brigade under his command also stopped running for their lives when they saw that the general was taking the lead.
"Don't panic, return to your own team and restrain your troops!" Li Xu shouted loudly to the chaotic crowd on the school field. The most important thing Liu Hongji should do at this moment is to gather his troops instead of leading the attack, but if he doesn't
Attack and the entire military camp will collapse!
"That's fine, let's count each one!" Li Xu smiled bitterly and bent down to pick up a bow and a pot of arrows that others had left behind, and quickly ran towards the main entrance.
"Every team is in charge, restrain the troops of each brigade, gather the soldiers of the brigade and the captains of the school, and assemble the brothers under your command to obey the order!" The voices of Wang Yuantong, Qi Poning and others rang behind Li Xu. We are all good brothers.
, if you don’t have the ability to step forward and help your friends and enemies fight, before you run away, you should at least help a little bit to calm the morale of the soldiers.
In the blink of an eye, Liu Hongji had led his soldiers and the invading enemy to a place where there were not many of them. He did not expect that the rumored vulnerable young master brother could come back so quickly. He was caught off guard and stabbed to death by Liu Hongji on the spot.
Two third ones came from the flank and tried to attack Liu Hongji's back, but were blocked by Qin Ziying and Zhang Deyu.
Qin Ziying is a child of a noble family who aspires to gain fame. He has not learned much martial arts at all. Zhang Deyu's sword skills are better than Qin Ziying's, and they have only reached the point where they can perform a routine. In the blink of an eye, the two of them were disrupted by their opponents, and their cooperation was full of dangers.
The sneak attacker smiled ferociously and was about to launch a fatal blow when the rifle in Liu Hongji's hand swept back like a dragon.
"Cang!" The short knife was knocked away by Bu Shan. Before the owner of the knife could react correctly, Bu Shan's blade found his throat like a snake's message.
"Ah!" Liu Hongji shouted angrily, picked up his opponent's neck and threw the body into the air. The sneak attacker who was stabbed through the throat by Bu Shan was not completely dead. His hands and feet were twitching in mid-air, circling, and towards his companions.
fly away
The incoming enemy was obviously frightened by Liu Hongji's move, and the speed of the attack was unknowingly stagnant. At this moment, a meteor flashed in mid-air, and a torch was shot by Li Xu as an arrow.
The torch covered in butter exploded with a bang, sending sparks flying everywhere. The flames that were extinguished in an instant illuminated the fact that there were not many sneak attackers at the main entrance. Liu Hongji was the backbone. The morale of the officers and soldiers of the Sui Dynasty was immediately boosted, and they shouted
then launched a counterattack against the opponent
Liu Hongji stabbed straight with his long spear, overturned one attacker and slapped him sideways, and swept away half of another attacker's face. As a former horse thief, he didn't even know what mercy was. As long as he faced someone, he would decide between life and death.
In the blink of an eye, the sixth sneak attacker was killed again. Just as he was about to chase the seventh enemy, an arrow flew past his body and shot through the enemy's back neck.
"Who are you trying to steal from me?" Liu Hongji shouted impatiently. He turned around and saw Li Xu desperately waving to him at the gate of the camp.
Being thoughtful, he immediately understood Li Xu's intention and stood up where he was. More than 200 soldiers immediately retreated to his side like daggers that had hit a rock.
"Return the troops to the camp and shoot anyone who comes within a hundred steps of the camp wall!" Liu Hongji shouted menacingly, and strode back with his brothers who had won the "victorious battle". When he passed by Li Xu, his footsteps stopped.
After a pause, he gently put his arm on his good friend's shoulder.
The order in the military camp has slowly begun to be restored. The soldiers who were awakened from their sleep instinctively tried to escape, but were stopped by the commanders, brigade leaders and their cronies. When a certain number of people gathered, everyone's courage began to change.
When Zhuang Qi judged from the shouts of death at the door that his side had the upper hand, his heart that had jumped out of his throat was swallowed back into his stomach by them.
The three off-duty captains, Li Ji, Liu Zhen and Zhou Wenyuan, took this opportunity to issue orders. After a lot of effort, they finally stabilized the soldiers. They looked up, hoping to ask Liu Hongji for instructions on what to do next, but they saw someone else.
Sir General pulled the tiger-wing brigade leader's mount and seemed to be arguing about something.
"There must be one place between Tang Gong's mansion and the granary that is their real target!" Liu Hongji whispered. This was the reason for his previous chaos. Tang Gong was kind to the two of them. If someone attacked the granary and assassinated them at the same time,
If Tang Gong succeeds, he will live with guilt for the rest of his life.
"Brother, do you remember how we burned down the camp of Ashina Queyu? If the granary is lost, will the Tang Guild be safe?" Li Xu asked this question in a low voice while arranging his bows, arrows and armor.
There is no need for Liu Hongji to answer. If Xu Dayan and him had not caused chaos in the Ashina camp, Liu Hongji and others would not have had the chance to make a move.
The situation at this moment is exactly the same as that night when everyone made a big fuss at the Ashina camp, except that the person who set the fire became the one being attacked, and the origin of the attacker is unknown.
Liu Hongji nodded, speechless and said to Li Xu that it made sense. If the granary was burned, according to the laws of the Sui Dynasty and the habits of the current emperor, Li Yuan's whole family would not be able to escape the fate of being buried in the granary. Thinking of this, he looked at it
The cavalry, which was ready to go, stepped aside to let Li Xu and his Tiger Wing Brigade open the camp gate.
"Tang Gong's archery skills are not inferior to yours or mine!" Li Xu turned around, shouted loudly, clamped his legs on Hei Feng's belly, and rushed into the street like a hundred cavalrymen.
On the street, small groups of black-clothed men were constantly setting fires. The five hundred reinforcements sent by Lord Yuwenshu and the arsonists were fighting separately in the dark. The clash of swords and guns and the cries of killing were heard. The innocent people were using buckets of water.
Fighting against unforeseen disasters, enduring both open and covert attacks, weeping and begging for help are endless.
Li Xu had no time to pay attention to these disturbances, and led his personally trained brothers to attack Tang Gong's mansion. This was the only solution he and Liu Hongji came up with in the shortest possible time. Since the enemy troops sneaked into the city for a sneak attack, their numbers were
Not too many. If you mess up your position, you will play into the opponent's hands.
"There seems to be someone blocking the road ahead!" The warrior Xun yelled at Li Xu on horseback. His family was rich and wealthy, but his background was not deep enough. There was only a young boy among the "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger" food protection army because he was with Li Xu.
He has a close relationship with Liu Hongji. After Liu and Li were promoted, they also assumed the position of captain. Just then, Li Xu and Liu Hongji went out to meet the enemy. Thanks to him, they gathered the Tiger Wing Brigade cavalry.
"No matter who it is, just rush over!" Li Liang, another team leader sent by the Li Mansion, suggested loudly. As they spoke, the three of them had already rushed across two streets and saw about 20 people wearing clothes fifty steps away.
People in khaki military uniforms in the Sui Dynasty blocked the intersection.
"Someone is taking advantage of the chaos to set fire, and the streets are closed!" A low-level officer wearing the uniform of a sixth-grade soldier shouted loudly. He thought he could stop the intruder with his official position, but he didn't expect that the person leading the team was a young man with a war horse.
Not only did his speed not slow down at all, but he accelerated towards his head.
"Tiger-winged cavalry, get out of the way!" Li Xu shook the reins and rushed forward without hesitation. The fire in the direction of Tang Gong's mansion was getting bigger and bigger. Even if there was a cliff ahead, he had to step on it. His front hoof was about to hit the soldier.
For a moment, Heifeng's body took half a step forward, and one person and one horse flew over the opponent's head like a thunderous giant.
"Ah!" The soldier was so frightened that he hugged his head and rolled to both sides of the road. The warriors Yun and Li Liang followed behind the general and jumped over him unceremoniously. Seeing this, the other hundred cavalrymen knocked their calves on the horse's belly and followed.
Lord Lu rushed over from behind.
"I, I'm not done with you!" The soldier, whose face was livid with fright, got up from the ground and shouted at the backs of the cavalry. After he finished shouting, he remembered the task assigned by his superior. His legs and feet suddenly became weak, and he sat down on the roadside.
These one hundred cavalrymen had been trained by Li Xu for more than half a month, and they already had a certain tacit understanding of their cooperation. They saw Tang Gong's Mansion from a distance, and immediately adjusted their speed to form two attack arrays to cooperate with each other, following Li Xu.
The fire is approaching from behind Xu
The front and back of Tang Gong's mansion had been burned into a sea of fire. Hundreds of black-clad warriors surrounded the palace wall, climbing on and throwing torches inward. From time to time, someone poked their head out and threw torches into the palace wall.
The samurai swept him down with a steel sword. In the blink of an eye, other samurai stepped on the corpse of his companion and climbed towards the palace wall.
"Draw your sword!" Li Xu shouted loudly and ordered the two cavalry groups to draw their swords at the same time. The three feet of autumn water shone coldly in the firelight.
"Push them left and right, and scatter them!" Li Xu shouted, and with a wave of horse heads, he rushed towards the enemy warrior on the left side of the gate.
With it, rush towards the enemy's right wing like a whirlwind
The men in black who attacked Tang Gong's Mansion did not expect that reinforcements from the other side would suddenly arrive behind them. When they heard the sound of horse hooves, they quickly turned back, but they had no time to organize a complete defensive formation.
Make a bloody path
This is not the first time he has killed people. Li Xu's sword skills have gradually matured. With the speed of Hei Feng, the scimitar in his hand has taken full advantage of its long blade. A man in black was cut off by him before he could raise the sword.
The second man in black blocking the horse's neck had half of his shoulder opened by him with the blade of his knife. The third man tried to chop his thigh from the side, but he slapped him on the chest with his machete.
"Ah!" The man in black screamed and flew out, his chest was filled with blood, and the red color filled the Qingshi Street. The food guards following Li Xu were a little nervous at first, but seeing how ruthless their brigade was,
He was also aroused with murderous intent, and following the enemy's bloodstains, he made the gap outside the palace wall wider and wider.
The men in black who attacked Tang Gong's mansion had to give up their immediate goal and concentrate on dealing with the sudden attack. Under the scolding of the leader, dozens of men in black quickly formed a team and formed a sword formation to try to block Hei Feng's footsteps.
"Go to hell!" Li Xu roared angrily. He pulled the reins hard and the pained Heifeng let out a long hiss. The horse made a beautiful side turn while galloping, and suddenly changed from charging forward to facing the enemy.
The soldiers faced each other side by side. Before the man in black could make a correct response, Li Xu leaned forward on the horse and drew his long knife horizontally.
"Poof!" "Poof!" The felt armor of the two men in black was cut through the sword formation like paper by a long knife. Immediately, a gap appeared. The warrior Yun did not hesitate, and led the cavalry to squeeze in through the gap. The sound of horse hooves was like
It rolled past like thunder, and smashed the sword array into pieces like boiling soup splashing snow.
Only the infantry with short weapons encountered the cavalry on the flat ground. No matter how much strength they had, they could not exert their strength. The leader of the black warriors was not willing to be cooked and flew away. He roared and forced the warriors to form an formation again. Only a dozen people gathered around him.
Suddenly, an arrow flew from the wall of the palace and stabbed his throat without any bias.
"Ah!" The leader screamed miserably, and the fallen warrior Yu rushed forward on his horse, killing the surrounding black warriors. He cut off the leader's head with a knife, held his bun with his hands, and raised it high.
"Tiger-winged cavalry, anyone who stands in my way will die!" Li Xu took the opportunity to shout
"Tiger-winged cavalry, anyone who stands in my way will die!" the food guards shouted in unison. When they were young, they used their family background to roam the countryside. They were once majestic, but they have never been as majestic as they are today.
The man in black couldn't hold on any longer. When he saw the leader's head being lifted up, his morale immediately collapsed. He screamed and ran away. Li Xu ordered the two teams to gather the soldiers, count the casualties, and then slashed at them with a horizontal sword.
Saddle, clasped his fists and saluted in the direction where he had just shot the black-clothed leader to death, and shouted: "Li Xu, the leader of the brigade, has been ordered to come to rescue Duke Tang!"
"Who is outside the wall?" A torch lit up in the darkness. Tang Gong Li Yuan stood under the torch, holding a long bow, and asked in a low voice.
"Tang Gong's command is Li Xu!" Li Xu replied loudly, turned his horse's head, and ran to a burning fire. The dancing flames illuminated his yellow military uniform and half of his cloak stained red by the enemy's blood.
"Split one team into chasing the enemy, and the other team into the mansion to put out the fire!" Li Yuan ordered in a deep voice, with an expression of neither joy nor anger on his face.
"Li Liang led his men and horses to pursue the enemy, and the warrior Xun led the food protection team into the house to put out the fire!" Li Xu loudly elaborated on Duke Tang's order. After hearing the order, the cavalry formed a team. The team with stronger combat effectiveness was led by Li Liang.
, and continued to sweep away the defeated enemy remnants outside the mansion. The other team jumped off their horses and lined up in front of Li Yuan's mansion.
In critical moments, there was no need to think about etiquette. A moment later, at the main entrance of Li Mansion,
