The bow in his hand was just an ordinary walking bow. Li Xu was not sure he would show mercy to the two old friends again. The tip of the arrow trembled in front of his eyes. He aimed at Niu Jinda, a charlatan standing outside the enemy's column. Before he could release his fingers, Niu Jinda
His body suddenly swayed and disappeared into the rushing crowd.
Xuzi suddenly felt relieved. Although he knew that Niu Jinda and the long-handled, thick-backed three-ring knife in his hand might appear at the city wall in a quarter of an hour, he still didn't want to let Lao Niu lose his life.
He took a quick breath and turned the bow and arrow towards the profiteer Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang, who was walking outside the queue, seemed to have a premonition and quickly retracted behind the soldiers. Xuzi had to let go of his hand and used
The feather arrow hit a strong man carrying a giant tree. The tall man screamed and fell down. The giant tree let go, tripping down five or six people around it.
Arrows flew out one after another from the enemy towers and the wall opposite the Weirang Road, shooting down more than a dozen rebel soldiers. The formation marching on the Weirang Road was a little chaotic, but it soon returned to normal.
The man who was shot lifted the huge tree from the pool of blood. The heavy armored infantry walking in the front row used their shields to build a moving wall. More than 300 strong men with different armors shouted in unison, high and low.
The weapon in the raised hand...
The next moment, Niu Jinda appeared in Xuzi's sight again. Before Xuzi could string his arrow, his body disappeared into the crowd again. He and Zhang Liang had already heard from Wu Heitai's scolding that Xuzi was there.
On the city tower, the arrow that killed a man a hundred steps away on the grassland had already left a deep impression on the two heroes. The two of them did not want to be carried down before they got close to the city head, so when organizing the attack
, try not to make yourself an obvious target.
Li Xu no longer had time to deliberately look for targets. The enemy troops came up too fast, and he needed to cause death as quickly as possible. Another man carrying a huge tree fell under his arrows, and then, a
The dead soldier carrying an axe. Xuzi quickly bent his bow and shot another guy holding a double-headed short spear, but the armor he wore was obviously a treasure. The armor-piercing arrow only hit half of the arrowhead,
It was blocked by the inner padding of the armor. "Ahh-uh!" The spear-wielder blocked the arrow with his hands, raised half of the arrow shaft and roared towards the city in protest. Asahi quickly shot another arrow, this time
Hit this person right in the throat.
The armored warriors holding giant shields approached the city wall again. Instead of climbing up, they quickly dispersed to both sides of the team. The heavy giant tree finally came in handy. Several rebels worked together to put one end of the giant tree on the city wall.
At this moment, two or three strong men carrying timber were shot down. But the rebels in the back row stepped on their corpses and ran over, braving the cold arrows on the city wall, and put another giant log on the top of the city.
Two giant logs formed a perfect sloping bridge between the city wall and the Weirang Avenue. The third giant log had already been raised, but the armored infantry couldn't wait any longer. They jumped onto the wooden bridge and rushed up the slope to the city.
heads, and then those guys with different armors, yelling, like a pack of wolves rushing for food. In an instant, more than thirty rebels rushed up, and one of them shouted, and pointed his sword to the north, and everyone
Turn around immediately and rush towards the enemy tower quickly.
"Well done!" Yuwenshiji led a group of brothers to meet them, and the two sides immediately started a fierce battle. The group of guys with various armors and weapons who rushed towards them were in an irregular formation, but they were all very skilled. Yuwenshiji quickly used his long spear
Two enemy generals were stabbed to death, and two of the guards around him fell at the same time. A gap immediately appeared in the neat formation, and the rebel warriors immediately seized this fleeting opportunity and rushed forward regardless of life or death.
, smashing the formation of the guards into pieces.
Along the slope made of giant trees, more dead rebels surged up. Some were shot by cold arrows, and the moment they fell, they pounced on Yuwen Shiji's personal guards, hugging them and falling down the city wall together. Some people
Carrying weapons and fighting one against two at the top of a small city, he actually didn't lose at all.
"You're here to plunder the formation!" Li Xu shot the last armor-piercing arrow and threw the rifle to Zhang Xiu. Yu Wenshi couldn't stand it any longer, and all the dead soldiers who were leading the battle behind the armored infantry were stunned.
They are desperadoes. They are heroes from the Jianghu who were hired by Li Mi and Yang Xuangan with huge sums of money. The two armies fought in formation, but these people were of little use. When caught and killed in a small space, these people's killing experience was far greater than that of Xiongwuying.
The brothers are experienced.
A strong man holding a thick-backed machete rushed up. Xuzi took half a step forward, and the moment the opponent just raised his arm, he stabbed his throat with a black knife. He turned around quickly, and the black knife followed the force of his body.
It was pulled out from the enemy's throat. Blood spurted out like a fountain, disturbing the sight of another rebel. Asahi's black knife swept against the man's neck, and swept the head and iron helmet into the air.
"Kill him, kill him!" Xuzi heard the enemy shouting, and then more people rushed towards him. The brothers around him fell one after another, making him suddenly break into the enemy's siege. He slashed
The enemies in front were able to right themselves, but they had no time to retreat. On the flanks, directly in front, and diagonally behind, there were people rushing over with weapons raised high.
Zhou Daniu chopped down his opponent, rushed forward, and desperately protected Li Xu's flanks with an iron shield. An ax and a horizontal knife struck at the same time, making Zhou Daniu's arms numb. "Ah--"
"Zhou Daniu screamed at the top of his lungs, but refused to give up his duty. He cried, holding the shield with both hands, and squeezed outward with all his strength. Suddenly, he felt the pressure in front of him lighten, and one enemy disappeared from his eyes. The other person was frightened.
He stared at him with his mouth open so much that he could see the small wattles in his throat. Zhou Daniu knew the reason for the enemy's panic. He continued to push forward with his hands, and then kicked out from under the shield. This was a dirty trick used in group fights on the road.
, still effective in front of the two armies. A huge resistance came from the front of the iron-clad boots, and the enemy soldiers screamed and fell down the city wall on their backs.
"Protect the general, protect the general!" Team Zhou was shouting at the soldiers. He no longer had time to count how many enemies he had killed. He was the leader of the soldiers, and his standard of food, clothing and accommodation were usually higher than those of other teams.
, but if you watch the general die in battle in front of the two armies, according to military law, he and all his soldiers will be buried.
More brothers from the Xiongwu Camp wanted to rush out of the enemy tower to fight, but the narrow city wall could not accommodate more people. When an enemy soldier fell, a new one immediately rushed up on the fish beam road to take his place. A guard
The army fell, and both sides stood beside his body, fighting with their lives for a foothold as big as a palm.
"Protect the Lord Supervisor, protect the Lord Supervisor!" Yu Wenxin's shout was as hoarse as Zhou Daniu's. The situation of their team was worse than that of Li Xu's team. Since the formation was squeezed out by the enemy, the generals fell into their respective
We were in a fighting situation. Everyone was very skilled, but the enemy's fighting style was too brutal, almost exchanging lives for lives. The generals of the Yuwen family were not used to this desperate fighting style, and some people were chopped down or pushed off the city wall one after another.
Yuwen Shiji's side became increasingly empty. The enemy troops pressed forward, and Chang Yang could no longer exert his power...
Yu Wenxin threw a spear and shot an enemy soldier who was coming towards him over. He leaned over and picked up a ring-headed knife and hacked the other opponent to death. Then he quickly moved towards Yu Wenshiji and tried to use his own weapon.
He replaced Yu Wenshi and the long spear in his hand. Before the master and servant could get close to each other, several dead rebels roared and rushed forward.
Yuwenshi shook his hand and stabbed one of them in the chest. "Ah--" the rebel soldier howled loudly, dropped his weapon, and held the stick with both hands. Yuwenshi raised his wrist and lowered his elbow, trying to save him from death.
The enemy was thrown out. But the surrounding enemies seized the opportunity that their companions had bought with their lives. The double-edged broadsword pressed against the pole and quickly slid towards Yuwenshi and his wrist.
Yu Wenshi and Qi Li raised their legs and kicked the enemy's crotch. He felt that he heard the sound of eggs breaking and saw the desperado holding a broad sword vomiting blood. But the desperado did not fall.
He opened his arms and hugged Yuwen Shiji's shoulders. Then, Bai Sensen's glowing red teeth opened and closed, biting his throat.
Yuwenshiji tilted his head, and his neck escaped from the wolf's mouth at the critical moment. The opponent quickly tilted his head, and his teeth caught a piece of flesh on the edge of Yuwenshi and the neck guard. The heartbreaking pain made Yuwenshiji scream loudly.
, he turned his body and tried to throw his opponent off the city wall. However, his opponent tightly held his shoulders, and then clamped his legs together, firmly blocking his waist.
"Save me—!" Yuwen Shiji shouted. He made fists with both hands and punched the enemy's back. The huge force shocked the internal organs of the person who bit him, and blood flowed from the person's nostrils, ears, and eyes. However,
However, his teeth and limbs seemed to be glued to Yu Wenshi and his body, refusing to let go.
Yu Wenxin was still entangled with others, and other brothers in the Xiongwuying camp were also locked in a struggle. After a few breaths, Yu Wenshiji felt that his steps began to falter, and all his strength was rapidly draining down his neck. "Save me!" Yuwen Shiji was horrified.
He screamed. He had thought of countless ways to die for himself, including drinking to death, drowning in a river, and being assassinated by enemies of the Yuwen family. However, he never thought that he would die when a battle was about to end.
At that time, he was bitten to death.
"I hope father won't make things difficult for Asahi because of this!" The next moment, Yu Wenshiji, who was extremely desperate, moved his already weak legs and got closer to the inner city wall. There were no sandbags piled on that side, so it was relatively easy to jump down. He was right there
When a smile appeared on his face, the enemy's head suddenly flew high into the air.
"Poof!" There was nothing but red in front of his eyes. Yu Wenshiji felt someone pulling his shoulders and took a few steps back. He stretched out his hand to wipe the blood in front of his eyes, turned around, and saw Li Xu waving a black
Knife, blocked two rebel soldiers who rushed up.
"I will definitely repay you!" Yuwen Shiji said to himself. He picked up a ring-headed knife and wiped the eyes of Yu Wenxin who fell at his feet. The enemy had already controlled half of the side of the Yuliang Road.
The city wall, but a small half of the city wall and the entire watchtower are still in the hands of his own people. The enemy troops who rushed to the city wall were dismantling the sandbags between the two sections of the city wall under the command of a charlatan. Li Anyuan was trying to organize manpower to stop them on another section of the city wall.
, but was tightly entangled by the enemy soldiers climbing up the ladder.
"Everyone is coming closer to me, drive them down!" Li Xu stood on the city wall and shouted with his sword raised. He was covered in red. He didn't know how much of it was his own and how much of it belonged to others. The Guards Corps was in full swing.
Holding a shield and a sword, standing on his left side, Zhang Xiu, the captain of the personal army, did not know when he had the courage to deliberately disobey the general's order, rushed out from the enemy tower, and stood on his left holding a horizontal sword.
On the right, the two people are also decorated, but the smiles on their faces are full of pride.
"Get closer to General Li Lang and kill the enemy!" Yuwen Shiji raised his sword and shouted. He quickly stepped forward and squeezed in between Zhou Daniu and Li Xu. The four people lined up in a row, shouting and squeezing towards the enemy. Four
The sword and the shield echoed each other, forcing the enemy in front of him to retreat a few steps.
The brothers from the Xiongwu Camp pushed forward one after another, squeezing behind Li Xu and Yu Wenshi, forming a small square formation. The square formation moved back and forth, pushing down one enemy after another. The surrounding gaps gradually widened, and more and more
People rushed over to fill the space that Pao Ze had exchanged for his life, and regained the lost city head inch by inch.
Enemy troops also climbed up several city walls in the distance, and the school captain who was guarding the city waved the flag to ask for help. Li Xu and Yu Wenshi were unable to get away, so they could only try their best to mobilize the phalanx and strive to resolve the battle at hand as soon as possible. But the situation developed.
But it was not what they expected. New rebel soldiers kept rushing to the top of the city through the sloping bridge made of giant trees. Although the sloping bridge built by the rebels with their lives was extremely crude, it could keep the enemy's reinforcements flowing.
.,
More than half of the 300 Jianghu heroes were consumed. Li Mi beat the war drums in the army and drove those strong men with blue cloth headbands and only cloth armor to protect themselves against the city wall. These people were braver than the Jianghu heroes, and death seemed to them like
It has become a popular job. As long as someone in the front row falls, someone in the back row will immediately take his place. In an instant, the enemy and we are pushing each other, killing each other with weapons, and the front line is constantly changing. As for the relationship between everyone
What hatred, why both sides were fighting, nine out of ten people who died knew nothing about it.
The sun in the west couldn't stand the bloody smell on the battlefield, and sank a little bit. The wind blew the blood mist into the sky, dyeing the flowing clouds crimson. The sunset continued to expand the red world, dyeing the mountains and rivers in the distance red.
The rushing Yellow River dyed the city wall with blood. The number of corpses on the city top dyed red by the blood and sunset continued to increase. The soldiers on both sides were stumbled by the corpses and could not move forward, but they stepped on the robes or the enemy.
You have to lose your body, wade in blood, and use your life to create more obstacles for the other party. No one can lose, and the losing side has no future. There are no fathers and sons on the battlefield. At this moment, even if the person standing in front of you is a biological brother, you must not hesitate.
Cut it down with one knife.
Li Xu felt that his arm had lost consciousness, and the black knife was getting heavier and heavier. The brothers around him changed again. Except for Zhang Xiu, Yu Wenshiji and Zhou Daniu who were closest to him, the others were all unfamiliar faces.
However, the enemies continued to come, as if they were not tired at all.
When Qin Gang stood beside him and replaced Zhou Daniu, who had fallen into a semi-crazy state, Xuzi knew that the reserve team had been used up. The defenders from other city walls might rush over, but they could not resist the rebellion.
The army was engaged in such a crazy war of attrition. He knew that he might have no chance of winning, but he did not want to abandon the city and escape.
He didn't want to lose to Li Mi, he didn't want to be looked down upon by Yuwen Shiji, Niu Jinda, Zhang Liang and others, and he didn't want to be disappointed by Master Yang, his mentor.
Niu Jinda and Zhang Liang both stood commanding from a distance and did not join the frontline battle. The defenders were finished, and their faces showed unbearability and pity. But they did not intend to persuade Xuzi to surrender. Ever since they met this thick young man on the grassland,
In an instant, they knew that this man was a reputable man. On the battlefield, if you are a friend, you should give him a ride. There is no need to humiliate him when he is in despair.
The sky slowly began to darken, and there were less than 200 defenders remaining outside the enemy tower. They were still holding on. The lightly wounded soldiers in the enemy tower grabbed their bows and arrows, and tried their best to give their robes the final support. Qing
The cloth-headed rebel soldiers were still unable to accomplish their set goals. The black knife in front of them was too crazy. With it, it seemed that the defenders would never be defeated.
Niu Jinda and Zhang Liang looked at each other, sighed and raised their weapons. It was getting dark, and they had no more time to delay. Xuzi was exhausted. Either one of them could end the battle if they stepped forward. But they
But he was a little hesitant, not wanting to take action himself.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hoofbeats was heard in the distance. Niu and Zhang were startled, thinking that they heard wrongly. They turned their heads and looked around at the same time. Under the dark red sunset, they saw a waving red flag.
Behind the red flag are countless cavalry wearing khaki armor.
The first wave of cavalry rushed towards Li Mi quickly, knocking off the rebels who had hurriedly came to intercept. The second wave of cavalry rushed forward along the path opened by the first wave of horses, spreading fear and chaos to the entire battlefield. The third wave of cavalry rushed forward.
Waves, the fourth wave, the fifth wave, galloping war horses, horizontal knives raised high, like a forest of knives, behind are the billowing smoke and dust brought up by the horses' hooves.
"Kill, don't leave Li Mi!" In the smoke, countless soldiers shouted in unison.
"Brothers, cut down the enemy!" Li Xu raised his black knife and shouted. The reinforcements finally came and arrived on the battlefield one day in advance. Li Mi was finished, and he would not have a chance to make a comeback. The elite rebels were concentrated near the city wall.
, his central army only had a few thousand civilians carrying wooden shields and bamboo spears. In a hurry, it was impossible to block the cavalry attack.
Li Mi's flag was cut down, and Han Shihe was escorted out of the battlefield by his own soldiers. The two men's cronies were dissatisfied with each other, and they actually did not do any rescue for each other, but raced away into the distance. Seeing the general do what he did.
Showing such an example, the strong man holding the shield, the archer who served as support, and the warrior supporting the ladder all made a move at the same time, fleeing as far away as possible. The soldiers of the Sui Dynasty came, and it is said that there were 300,000 people.
In front is a fortified city, and in the rear is an army of 300,000 armed to the teeth. They have no chance of winning.
The enemy troops on the Yuliang Road retreated like a tide. The enemy troops on the top of the city did not need to be driven away at all, they jumped down on their own. Niu Jinda and Zhang Liang were both veterans and had countless ways to control the defeated army. But at this time, their methods were different.
None of them are useful.
"Let's go!" Niu Jinda sighed, turned around and jumped onto the sloping wooden wall, following the flow of people towards the Weirang Road. Zhang Liang cast a meaningful glance at Li Xu and turned around to escape from the city wall.
Hundreds of enemy troops suddenly dispersed like flies, catching everyone in the Xiongwu Camp unprepared. For a moment, they actually forgot to pursue them. Standing on the city wall, they were at a loss as they looked at the enemy troops fleeing in all directions.
"We won!" Who gasped and said the first sentence.
"We won!" Someone dropped their weapons, squatted next to the corpse at their feet, and held his head with both hands.
"We won!" Countless people cheered loudly, with cheers mixed with sobs.
Xuzi stabbed the city wall with a black knife to support himself and not fall down. He saw the tall war flag in the distance and heard the thunderous cheers from above and below the city. The victory came so suddenly that he couldn't feel it.
to feel the slightest joy of victory.
Breathing loudly, he cast his gaze into the distance. He saw Niu Jinda fighting and retreating, Zhang Liang fleeing in panic, and the battle flags, weapons, ladders, and war drums dropped by the enemy.
Further away, where the sun was setting, he seemed to see a strand of gray hair, fluttering in the wind. (To be continued)
