"Why are you kid back again? Didn't I tell you to run away quickly?" Xu Zizhen was angry and anxious. The situation was quite unfavorable at the moment. Even if Li Meng came back, both of them would die together.
Li Meng raised his head stubbornly: "The worst case scenario is death. Anyway, you can't leave me alone!"
Now that there is no room for recovery, Xu Zizhen laughed and said: "That's good to say, the worst that can happen is death! In this case, let's kill enough to save the regrets from the Lord of Hell!" As he spoke, he raised his knife and dropped it.
Cut across the throat of a pursuer.
Trapped in a desperate situation, Xu Zizhen had no choice but to fight tooth and nail. At this time, Xu Zizhen could no longer care about anything else. He just gritted his teeth and fought fiercely. Since the armor couldn't be cut open, he aimed to cut the neck. Li Meng had already discovered this, and he raised his gun and shot it.
He pierced the throat and face, and occasionally hit someone with a flying stone, but it only hit the bridge of the other person's nose.
This place is quite far away from the battlefield, and the surrounding area is remote and quiet, except for the loud noise of killing here.
Xu Zizhen and Li Meng were like two trapped beasts in a cage, roaring and moving in succession to save their lives. Although they killed a few people in the pursuing group, they had more people and excellent equipment, so they were not in a hurry and just surrounded them.
Slowly consuming their energy, with disdain in their eyes.
With a sneer, Li Meng was unprepared and was stabbed on the back by a pursuer. Immediately, blood gushes out and half of his clothes were stained red. Xu Zizhen was anxious and wanted to rush over to rescue him, but was helplessly beaten by ten people.
Several people surrounded him, unable to get out at all.
Damn it, am I really going to die here?
The two of them were gradually exhausted, and were about to die on the spot. At this moment, there was a loud shout not far away, and a light green figure flew down from the mountain quickly. In a few ups and downs, it had already rushed to a nearby place and raised its hand.
, the two pursuers surrounding Xu Zizhen suddenly let out a scream, covered their faces and fell off their horses.
The figure broke in in a blink of an eye, holding a long sword with a sharp green edge. In a flash of cold light, one of the pursuers was struck by the sword in his throat and fell off his horse. Then he raised his hand, and two more pursuers covered him.
He knocked himself off his horse with a face.
Before Xu Zizhen could see who it was, he heard the man scolding him: "Xu Zizhen, you are such a reckless man, why do you always do such dangerous things?"
Huh? Do you know me? Xu Zizhen took the time to look and was stunned.
It was a woman with a graceful figure, wearing a light green dress, holding a three-foot green sword and flying among the chasing soldiers. Her face was extremely pretty, her lips were like cherries, her eyes were like autumn water, and she surprisingly had a red-sleeved move.
The courtesan——Liu Li.
Since the siege in Suzhou City, he has never seen Liuli again, nor has he had any news about her. He has been thinking about her a lot these days, but Xu Zizhen never expected that she would be here thousands of miles away.
I saw her at the northwest border, and it was at this juncture.
Xu Zizhen shouted in surprise and joy: "Miss Liuli! How could it be you?"
Liuli rolled her eyes at him angrily: "If I hadn't happened to arrive today, I'm afraid you would have lost your life!"
The two of them struck without stopping while they were talking. Liuli's swordsmanship was elegant and fast, making people unpredictable, and her figure was even more graceful and light. Every time she waved her hands, one of her pursuers would fall to the ground and die. Only now did Xu Zizhen see her true identity.
With such strength, I couldn’t help but secretly say: This girl is hiding her secrets!
With Liuli's helping hand, Xu Zizhen suddenly felt that the pressure was greatly reduced. He swung his knife to block the people around him and quickly ran to Li Meng, asking urgently: "Xiao Meng, how are you?"
Li Meng knocked down another person with one shot and grinned: "Uncle, I'm fine! Didn't you say I can be a general? If I don't have any wounds on my body, how can I convince others in the future?"
Xu Zizhen saw that his back was already covered in blood, but he still insisted on pretending that nothing was wrong. He couldn't help but feel angry and funny: "You brat, how many times do you want me to say it before you understand? You are going to lose your life and still act like a bastard."
Bullshit general!"
But after saying this, he still felt heartbroken. He roared and swung his knife to cut off all the people around Li Meng, so that the little guy could rest for a while.
The chasing team originally thought they had a chance of victory, but Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared on the way, catching them off guard. In just a moment, they had lost nearly half of their troops. However, Xixia people are tough and brave by nature, and soon they were caught off guard.
Shao Hui gave up easily, so even though he knew that he and the enemy were not on the same level, he still attacked like crazy.
…
After Jincheng was closed, Wen Chengyan quietly looked at the black Xixia army outside the pass, his face was as dark as water, and he could not see any emotions. The sudden invasion of the Xixia people caught him off guard, and you must know that he came to Lanzhou to take office less than a month ago
, without even communicating well with subordinate officials, we had to face a menacing army of 100,000 people.
A troop of Xixia troops had formed in front of the pass. A general held a broadsword and yelled and cursed in front of the formation for a long time. However, Wen Chengyan just ignored him and allowed him to curse, while he was thinking hard about how to defeat the enemy.
"Master Wen, why not retreat to the city first? Jincheng Pass is too weak to hold!"
The speaker was a middle-aged officer. He was the commander-in-chief of the cavalry and infantry division of the Lanzhou garrison. His surname was Meng and his given name was Du Zhijie. He had been peaceful and cautious all his life. He had been a garrison in Lanzhou for so many years and had fought many battles with Xixia soldiers and horses.
After the first encounter, he naturally knew how powerful it was. At present, the 20,000 former troops of Xixia had already reached the front of the pass. He said this not because he was greedy for life and fear of death, but from a purely military perspective.
Wen Chengyan shook his head. Didn't he know that Jincheng Pass could not be defended? He had even prepared to retreat to Lanzhou, but the time of retreat was different. He retreated as soon as the Xixia people came. This was bound to happen.
It affected the morale of the entire army, so he had to wait and try to hold this pass for a while to wait for the Deshun Army to come to reinforcements.
Just as Meng Du was about to persuade him again, his eyes suddenly froze and he looked into the distance and lost his voice: "Why is there a fire in the Xixia people's rear camp?"
Wen Chengyan followed his line of sight and saw billowing black smoke rising from the rear of the Xixia army, which was clearly visible on this desolate and wide ground.
"This..." Wen Chengyan couldn't help but be startled. There was no way the Xixia rear camp started such a big fire for no reason. Could it be someone did it deliberately? But who was it?
At this moment, someone came to report: "Sir, Captain Jin wants to see you!"
Wen Chengyan was stunned again. Captain Jin was Jin Yuxi, but didn't he go to deliver a letter asking for help? How could he come back so soon?
"Let him come up!"
After a while, Jin Yuxi strode to the gate and said anxiously: "Sir, Xu Zizhen went to the Xixia rear camp alone to set fire to disturb the enemy. At this time, he is afraid that he has been surrounded by the Xia people. Please send someone to rescue him quickly.
!”
Wen Chengyan suddenly opened his eyes in surprise and lost his voice: "You...who are you talking about? Xu Zizhen?"
