The rebels in the Wengcheng did not expect that Yu Wenshiji had such a hand. They were immediately knocked off their feet and the whole attack rhythm slowed down again. The Xiongwuying brothers in the Wengcheng seized the opportunity and retreated quickly, leaving another group stranded outside.
The people successfully hid back in the city.
At the gate of the inner city, only Li Xu and about twenty soldiers who were responsible for cutting off the rear were left. They formed a small square formation with the main general as the core, fighting and moving. The enemy troops were like wolves.
Bite it up and tear off the outermost soldiers like pieces of flesh. The enemy has seen that Xuzi is the core of this group of people, and even the entire Liyang garrison. They know that if they bite the twenty or so people in front of them, the inner gate of Liyang City will be destroyed.
Just never dare to close it.
However, they thought wrong.
"Close the city gate!" Li Xu knocked down his opponent and yelled at Yuwen Shiji on the city wall. He had suffered several injuries. Thanks to the strong armor given by Li Yuan, he did not lose his combat effectiveness. But this kind of luck
It wouldn't last long. The enemy troops coming at him were getting stronger and stronger, and he couldn't guarantee that he could successfully defeat the next opponent.
"What!" Yuwen Shiji was shocked and his eyes widened in disbelief.
"It can't be closed, it can't be closed!" On the city wall, the loyal and brave soldiers protested loudly. Some people ran down the city wall along the horse path, trying to support their commander. Some people rushed into the city despite the rain of arrows, and threw a large number of stones and
Rolling logs fell.
In exchange for their lives, the soldiers of the Xiongwu Camp in the city threw down the rolling logs and knocked over several rebels. The rebels' arrows also shot through their bodies. People kept rushing into the city tower, lifting the rolling logs and beating the rocks.
Armored infantry also continued to pour into Wengcheng, stepping on the blood to advance.
"Stick him, stick him! Don't let him go!" The commander of the armored infantry rushed into the barracks with his bodyguards, pointed at Li Xu with a steel fork and shouted. Several soldiers wanted to show off in front of their commander, regardless of their own safety.
They rushed forward. However, their skills were really poor. In less than three moves, they were the target of Xu Zi's sword.
The new round of fighting ended, and several more soldiers fell down. Apart from Li Xu, there were less than ten warriors left at the city gate. Everyone sneered and gathered around the general, like a rock, blocking the way.
Waves of people rushing towards the city gate.
"Get out of the way, I'll do it!" The commander of the armored rebel army squeezed away the soldiers around him and rushed towards Xuzi. "Death to the dog officer!" He shouted loudly, his body flew into the air, and the man followed the fork away, and he had already pounced in an instant.
Arrive in front of Li Xu.
"Dang, Dang, Dang!" Li Xu connected with the opponent's three-point stab in mid-air, stepped back half a step, and slashed at the enemy's waist with his sword.
"Ah!" The soldiers on both sides of the enemy and ours exclaimed. These moves were as fast as lightning. Before they could finish their exclamations, the rebel general named Wu twisted his body in mid-air, and the iron fork fell downwards.
Horizontally, he blocked Xu Zi's fatal knife, and then fell down. He thrust the fork and stabbed again.
"Cang!" Li Xu blocked the opponent's fatal blow again, but his arms were numb from the huge power coming from the black knife.
"Dang!" General Wu strode back, looking at his opponent who was as brave as himself, his face full of surprise.
"It's you!" The two of them screamed at the same time. The next moment, they were waving their weapons and fighting. "You actually became a dog officer!" General Wu scolded angrily, wishing to poke Li Xu over. "You are a traitor.
Thief?" Li Xu asked while blocking the way. The black knife threw out a ball of black light, forcing General Wu back a few steps again.
"Close the city gate!" Li Xu shouted again. He grabbed the iron chain with half a spike in his left hand and used both legs to force his body. He jumped into the air. His body was drawn in the air by the iron chain.
Create a circle of death and go around the face armor and neck armor of the rebels. The face armor and neck armor of the rebels are made of iron rings, which have the weakest defense. Anyone who is hit by the black knife will be shattered. The face armor is
The owner either covered his face or covered his throat, screaming and squatting on the ground.
"Pull General Li and the others up and close the city gate!" Yu Wenshiji finally understood what Li Xu was thinking, and his command voice was filled with ecstasy.
The enemy soldiers who were as alert as him also saw through Li Xu's plan, and shouted and charged forward again. They were forced back by the last soldiers around Li Xu one by one. After the enemy troops retreated, the surviving guards imitated the general's behavior.
They grabbed the iron chain above their heads, stepped on the city wall, and quickly rose up with the cooperation of their companions on the city. While rising, they did not forget to chop a few more times to prevent the enemy from approaching smoothly.
The iron fence that served as the inner city gate crashed down, cutting off the hatred inside and outside the city wall. Li Xu and the last few guards quickly took to the air and approached the battlements in the eyes of the enemy in disbelief.
"Get ready to roll logs and rocks!" Li Xu looked at Wu Heitai at his feet and shouted loudly. Let's go quickly, he prayed silently in his heart. If he didn't leave, it would be too late. He couldn't shout loudly, so he could only hope that Wu Heitai would know how to assess the situation.
"Woo!" A black steel fork flew through the air, rubbed Xu Zi's face, and shot into the blue-grey city wall.
"Ah!" The soldiers of the Xiongwu Camp on the city were startled and broke into a cold sweat. When they saw the steel fork go empty, they shouted excitedly, "General Li, General Li is safe!"
"General Li, General Li!" There was thunderous cheers both above and below the city.
"Ahem!" Asahi coughed loudly due to the dust splashed by the steel fork, and his body involuntarily paused in mid-air for a moment. Then, he yanked the chain with his arm, stepped on the fork handle with his toes, and his whole body jumped up again.
, six feet, like a goshawk, landed steadily on the top of Liyang City.
"Prepare to roll logs and rocks!" Xuzi climbed up to the top of the city, immediately pointed his black knife at the enemy, and gave a long-drawn command. With concerned eyes, he saw Wu Heitai retreating in panic with his armored infantry.
The brothers of Xiongwu Camp used rolling logs and stones to "retain" more than a dozen enemy troops who were unable to retreat. Then, the battle outside Dongcheng fell into a dull stalemate. The rebels under Han Shihe were well-equipped and well-trained, but
Without the assistance of effective siege weapons, they were temporarily unable to attack the tall city walls of Liyang City. The brothers in the Xiongwu Camp had a geographical advantage and high morale, but they could not cause more damage to the enemy unless they entered Wengcheng.
Most of the time, the two sides were shooting at each other with feather arrows. The sharp arrows shot by the rebels fell from the sky, and the city was covered with dense white feathers. Those close to the blind spots behind the battlements on the outside of the city wall became
It became an ideal safe haven for the defenders. They huddled up there, covered their calves with shields, and occasionally stretched out their heads to shoot a cold arrow to demonstrate to the enemy. Although in most cases the arrows were far from the target.
It's a thousand miles, but it's still a great shot.
Li Xu hugged his black knife and huddled under the female wall outside the enemy tower, panting. The battle just now was too tense, and now the crisis was over. He felt that his whole body was soft and he couldn't lift even a little bit of strength. There were several places on his arms and thighs.
The small wound began to hurt, and with his heartbeat, it felt like a knife was piercing his flesh. These were not the things that bothered him the most. What bothered him most at the moment was that he found another enemy among the enemy.
A friend. A friend who once saved each other's lives, but now has to fight to the death.
Wu Heita and his armored infantry did not retreat too far. Unwilling to fail, he stood on the official road less than 150 steps away from the outer city gate, waiting for the next opportunity to attack. Shots were fired sporadically from the top of the city.
The feathered arrow has lost its power at this position, and even if it hits, it cannot penetrate the iron armor. Apart from that former friend, Wu Heitai does not believe that there is another person in Liyang City who can kill him from such a long distance.
Threat. He changed the weapons in his hands to a giant shield and a thick-backed sword, and paced back and forth uneasily. I don’t know if it was because he was reluctant to part with the steel fork that was lost in the urn city, or for other reasons. Xuzi saw him a few times
He tried to rush to the city gate several times, but retreated midway several times. "He wants to talk to me!" Li Xu felt an uncomfortable suffocation in his heart. He also wanted to stick his head out from the city wall and ask
I asked Wu Heitai why he did the traitorous thing of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan after being caught, instead of being a good wanderer. But after weighing it several times, the impulse in Xuzi's heart was finally suppressed by reason. He was no longer
It turns out that Xu Zi, official title and reputation have become a part of his life. The more things a person carries, the more he needs to consider the consequences of doing things.
"An acquaintance?" Yuwen Shiji bowed his head and ran over against the female wall, asking with a smile.
"I'm not very familiar with it. We just sold horses together outside the Great Wall!" Li Xu shrugged his shoulders and answered lazily. He knew that his abnormal behavior could not be hidden from Yu Wenshi, so he simply admitted that after such a long time
After socializing, he also discovered that Yuwen Shiji was not as hateful as he imagined.
"Pay the bill with a knife!" Yu Wenshi and his sharp tongue successfully earned himself a roll of eyes, smiled, and continued: "That guy is so skilled, no wonder he can harm Ashina with you.
Queyu! It’s a pity that he didn’t follow the right path, and his martial arts skills were wasted!”
"His personality is very similar to yours!" Li Xu knocked Yu Wenshiji's combat boots with a black knife and told him to shrink his legs as far as possible against the wall to avoid being hurt by stray arrows. "He said that all officials are heinous villains.
, so in this life I will never be admitted to public life, and I will not be sent to hell after death!"
"Really?" A narrow smile appeared on Yu Wenshiji's face, "The person who can command two regiments of armor in the rebel army must at least be a lieutenant. It's rare for an officer in the rebel army to be an officer, right?
?If Yang Xuangan is really lucky enough to conquer the world, is he willing to give away the fame he gained at the expense of his life?"
If these two people let go and have a quarrel, the scene will definitely be exciting. Li Xu turned around and looked at Wu Heitai standing in the middle of the official road outside the city through the viewing hole, and then looked at Yuwenshi and Yuwenshi who stuck out their tongues to show off their power.
, thought maliciously. Regarding this topic, he did not intend to discuss it too deeply, so he took the initiative to turn his attention to the battle situation.
"How is Zhao Changshi injured? Is his life in danger?"
"He was stabbed three times, and the wounds were quite big. Fortunately, they were all cut with kitchen knives, and no bones were hurt. As long as Dr. Sun is here, he can't die!" The smile on Yuwen Shiji's face became thicker and thicker, as if he had discovered something.
It's like being proud of something, and I'm overjoyed.
"Why are you laughing? I already told you that I don't know him very well!" Li Xu was so embarrassed by Yuwen Shiji's laughter that he emphasized with a straight face.
"It's useless to be familiar with it. There are no fathers and sons on the battlefield! If he doesn't kill you, it doesn't mean that others won't stab you!" Yu Wenshi replied neatly, and then he stretched out his hand to gesture at the top of his guard, and smiled dirtyly.
He got up and said, "Guess where Zhao Changshi struck the knife, the root of his thigh, just half an inch off..." (To be continued)
