Yuan Size secretly regretted that this time he risked his own life to trap Xu Zizhen. He thought he was sure of everything. Except for the two thousand guards, he didn't even have a commander who could lead the troops. At most, he only had a few leaders.
The little leader, but he didn't expect that Xu Zizhen was really not an easy bone to chew on, and it ended up in such a situation that now the bunch of people couldn't even find anyone who could come up with an idea.
Xu Zizhen was still naked from the waist up, and the cold wind was biting his bones, but he seemed not to feel a trace of chill. He put his hand on the handle of the knife and looked up at Xia Bing not far away, quite mean to look down on the world. Seeing that the other party still didn't react at all, this
Then he snorted and turned to leave.
But at this moment, something unexpected happened again. A loud arrow shot up among the Xia soldiers, soared into the sky, flew into the air and exploded into a huge firework. Xu Zizhen's face changed, and when he looked back, he saw only one of the Xia soldiers.
The figure in black robes held a gunpowder tube with a shot of firing arrows in his hand. He could not see his face clearly from a distance, but the robe was extremely familiar - Sanjuetang!
There is no need to guess this person. Except for Ji Shou from the Gongshu Hall who was fighting against Du Jin, Xu Zizhen was so angry that he had forgotten about him just now and didn't take advantage of the chaos to kill him first. Now he wants to kill him.
It's too late.
"Quickly leave!" Xu Zizhen made a decision immediately. There was no need to waste time on this villain at this moment. The sounding arrow had already been shot. He didn't know how many soldiers and horses the other side would come out to rob the enemy.
Xu Zizhen took the lead and opened the way. Liu Fengsui and Tang Lun followed closely with Yuan Size under guard. They were guarded by experts from the Tianxiahui on both sides. The Shenji Camp was behind them. The speed suddenly reached the fastest speed. It was definitely not possible to go straight towards Lanzhou City. It was not far ahead.
The Xia army was retreating like a mountain, and with the rolling Gaolan Mountains on their left, they could only take the risk of walking from the right, outside Zhuoluo City.
Two thousand Xia soldiers threw rat weapons and did not dare to rush forward, but they did not give up. As soon as Xu Zizhen moved, they followed him, staying far away, waiting for the opportunity to snatch people.
Xu Zizhen secretly complained in his heart. He could scare these Xia soldiers by using Fu Size as a hostage, but he could not stop them from following him. Now he could only grit his teeth and rush back before the enemy's reinforcements arrived.
But things in the world are often like this. Whatever you are afraid of will come to you. Liu Fengsui suddenly shouted: "Brother, be careful!"
Xu Zizhen suddenly shuddered and reined in his horse subconsciously. The war horse stood up with a long neigh. At this moment, an overwhelming barrage of crossbow arrows flew over. The horse was the first to bear the brunt. In the blink of an eye, the horse's belly was filled with crossbow arrows.
His hissing instantly turned into a scream, and he struggled a few times before falling into a pool of blood.
"kill!"
A mountain of shouts came from all around. Xu Zizhen turned over and jumped up from the dead horse, feeling a chill in his heart.
It's still too late!
This is about ten miles outside Zhuoluo City, with an extension of Gaolan Mountain on both sides. Shouts of killing came from the peaks on both sides, and then two groups of short-dressed people rushed down from the mountain peaks in the blink of an eye.
Xu Zizhen and his entourage were immediately surrounded. When the formation was about to form, these steps were divided into two groups. One half stood at the back holding crossbows, and the other half squatted in the inner circle holding a large spear more than ten feet long in both hands.
Xu Zizhen and the others were small in number, so it was impossible to rely on horses to break the formation. Moreover, the large spears in Bubazi's inner circle were used to defeat the cavalry. It was obvious that the opponent was well prepared and thought about how to deal with them.
Bu Fen whistled, and the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion rushed forward quickly, holding shields to tightly protect Xu Zizhen and others, looking at the Xia soldiers who suddenly appeared with a vigilant expression.
The other party's queue suddenly split into a lane, and two horses came forward slowly. Immediately, two people, an old man and a young man, sat down. The old man had white eyebrows, but his face was bare without a beard. He
He glanced at Yuan Size, who was casually being held by Liu Feng, and sighed softly: "The famous Yuanshuai in Great Xia could end up in such a miserable situation. I never expected that, alas!"
Xu Zizhen felt that the voice was familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, he remembered that he had heard his voice under Yuan Size's room when he first entered the tunnel that day. Judging from his words and appearance, he should be a eunuch. He was thinking of this
, then Yuan Size said coldly: "What's unexpected? Food and grass are not arriving for a long time, and the army has been in chaos for a long time. Could it be that Eunuch Xie thinks that Yuan can defy the will of heaven with one person's power?"
The young man was fully armored, with a steel knife on his waist and a long bow hanging on the saddle bridge. He looked quite a bit like a military commander, but his face was a little too pale. At first glance, he looked like an overindulgent dandy, Yu Si.
After Ze Gang finished speaking, he sneered and said disdainfully: "Eunuch Xie, what nonsense are you talking to him? I told my uncle long ago that we have to rely on our Xiao family members to lead the troops to attack Lanzhou. A dog with a foreign surname cannot be relied on after all. What's the name?"
Zhen Daxia, bah! What a waste."
Although Xu Zizhen and Yuan Size were also hostile, he was very unhappy when he heard the young man's tone. He turned his head and asked Yuan Size: "Is this kid also a descendant of the Xiao family?"
Yuan Size was already so angry that he turned blue. He gritted his teeth and nodded: "His name is Xiao Xuan, and his uncle is the father of Empress Xiao."
Xu Zizhen suddenly realized that he and Xiao Yi were cousins. No wonder they even looked the same. They really looked like they came from the same brothel. Since they were also members of the Xiao family, there was no need to be polite. Xu Zizhen raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Aren't you a waste? Then come over and have sex with grandpa.
Pick one?”
Although Yuan Size was also an enemy, Xu Zizhen felt that he was more pleasing to his eyes. Hearing others scold him so much made him feel uncomfortable. What's more, he was surrounded by them right now. Things would change later, and he had to break out as soon as possible.
yes.
Xiao Xuan's face sank: "Who are you? Are you worthy of a duel with the young master?"
Eunuch Xie said in a low voice: "Third Young Master, this person is Xu Zizhen. When the old slave came out for this trip, the empress had given instructions that if he could see this person, he must be killed at all costs."
Xiao Xuan's face instantly became solemn. He used the power of the Xiao family to get a small military position in Zhuoluo City. On weekdays, Xu Zizhen's name could be heard everywhere while walking around the city. Now everyone in Xixia
Knowing how powerful the God of War is, those who joke in the army will say that if they are lucky enough to kill the God of War one day, they will be able to reach the sky and advance several levels in one step.
The true God is right in front of us, he is already surrounded and unable to fly, so what are you waiting for? He can be killed.
Xiao Xuan still hesitated, waved his hand and shouted: "Give it to me, kill them all!"
As soon as the shouts ended, crossbow arrows were fired over again. Everyone in the Shenji Camp held up their shields to block the crossbows. Although the crossbows were shorter than the feather arrows, they were very powerful. Everyone was suppressed and had no time to fight back and charge.
They could only huddle behind their shields and wait for a good opportunity to break through, but at this moment, the Xia soldiers in the front row moved, and large spears pointed straight at the center, and the encirclement slowly shrank.
