Chapter 1006: Encountering the enemy outside the village
Liu Xiu, Luo You, Long Yuan, Long Zhun, and Long Bo walked into the village. They walked from the south end of the village to the north end of the village. They saw a small tea shed at the north entrance of the village, and Liu Xiu walked in.
.
There were no teagoers in the tea shed, only two people, an elder and a younger one. The elder was an old man, in his fifties, and the younger was a twelve or three-year-old girl with wheat-colored skin and a very delicate appearance.
Seeing Liu Xiu and others entering the carport, the old man who was taking a nap woke up, looked up, immediately stood up and stepped forward, asking with a smile on his face: "Do you want some tea?"
Liu Xiu said: "Bring two pots!"
"Okay, okay, some military princes, please come over here! Sit over here!" The old man greeted Liu Xiu and others to take their seats very enthusiastically. The little girl was also smart and immediately lit a fire and made tea nearby.
After a while, the little girl came over with a tea bowl and placed it in front of Liu Xiu.
The latter nodded slightly, picked up the tea bowl, smelled it first, and then slowly took a sip. He felt that the taste was really good. He asked with a smile: "My father-in-law, is this Mengshan tea from Sichuan?"
The old man raised his hands and praised: "Junhou is a good product! This is the new tea picked from Mengshan this year."
Liu Xiu nodded and said: "Tea from Shu is not cheap to transport!"
Gongsun Shu set up layers of checkpoints in Shu. If goods from Shu want to be shipped out, they will be levied several taxes. It can be said that the cost of the taxes is almost greater than the cost of the goods themselves.
The old man smiled and said: "These teas are secretly transported from Shu, they are not expensive!"
Liu Xiu's eyes flashed and he said: "Smuggled out... So there is a way to avoid the checkpoints in Shu?" Although Liu Xiu is currently fighting with Wei Xiao, but it involves important information about Shu, he
Nor will it be ignored.
The old man shook his head and said: "I don't know. There are many merchants passing by this village, and there are also a lot of tea merchants. Some are expensive and some are cheap. When I encounter a tea merchant who sells it at a low price, I will buy more.
"
Liu Xiu nodded and did not ask any more questions. From the information provided by the old man, it could be judged that there should be secret roads leading in and out of Shu. As for the number of these secret roads and where they were located, it was not known yet.
While Liu Xiu was talking to the old man, the little girl had finished serving the tea. She placed the last bowl of tea in front of Luo You. When she lowered her head to look at Luo You, her face turned red.
Luo You is now dressed as an ordinary soldier. He wears a red military uniform on the inside, red leather armor on the outside, and a helmet. A small face as big as a palm is exposed underneath. His face is as white as jade, his eyes are as bright as stars, and his heroic appearance is rare.
The beautiful boy I met.
She first looked at the tea bowl in front of her, and then at the little girl standing aside, who had not left for a long time. Luo You asked with a stern face, "What are you still doing here?"
When the little girl heard this, her face turned redder, and she ran to the old man and hid. Long Yuan, Long Zhun, and Long Bo looked at each other and smiled, and Long Zhun whispered: "Xiaoyou, this little girl has taken a liking to you!
"
Luo You was stunned for a moment before she realized what was happening. A layer of red cloud immediately appeared on her fair face. She pouted and said, "Brother Zhun is making fun of me!"
Long Zhun couldn't help but smile when he saw Luo You's shy look.
Compared to the mature Long Yuan and the sinister Long Bu, Long Zhun is more cheerful, loves to talk and laugh, and has the best relationship with Luo You.
Liu Xiu was also amused. He looked at the little girl hiding behind the old man with only her head exposed, and then at Luo You who was blushing. He nodded and said, "It's a good match!"
Luo You's face turned redder, like a ripe apple, and he flattened his mouth and said, "Even your Majesty...Young Master made fun of me!"
Liu Xiu and Long Zhun laughed, and Long Yuan and Long Bo also had deep smiles on their faces.
As they were talking, they suddenly heard movement from the north. Liu Xiu took the lead and looked up, and saw dozens of people running in the distance on the loess field outside the village. Liu Xiu squinted his eyes and took a closer look, seeing the dozen people running towards him.
They are all dressed as Han soldiers.
"They are our soldiers!" As he spoke, Liu Xiu stood up. Long Yuan, Long Zhun, Long Bu, and Luo You also stood up. Luo You quickly took out his wallet and poured out a handful of coins.
Put it on the table.
Liu Xiu said: "Luo You, go back and inform the generals in the camp. Long Yuan, follow me!"
"Here!" Everyone responded in unison.
Liu Xiu quickly walked out of the tea shed and ran straight towards the dozen or so Han soldiers who were running toward him, followed closely by Long Yuan and the other three. Soon, the two sides met.
Seeing that Liu Xiu was dressed as a school captain, the dozen or so panting Han soldiers stepped forward, saluted, and said hurriedly: "Sir, leave quickly, there are enemy troops chasing you!"
Liu Xiu asked: "How many people are there in the enemy army?"
"There are thousands of people! There are hundreds of people chasing us!" A veteran in his thirties swallowed his saliva and said in a hoarse voice.
Liu Xiu took off the water bag from his waist and handed it to the veteran. The latter thanked him, took it, pulled off the lid, and drank a big gulp of water. Then he handed the water bag to the man beside him.
Fellow robe.
Long Yuan, Long Zhun, and Long Bo also took off their water bags and handed them to the soldiers on the opposite side.
After drinking a large amount of water, the veteran regained a lot of strength and said to Liu Xiu: "Sir, we are under the command of General Zang, the fourth song of the fifth battalion. We were ambushed by the enemy five miles away from the north. Brother Quanqu was killed by Qianqu.
Surrounded by remaining enemy troops, only a few of us fought desperately to carve a bloody path and managed to escape by luck!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a tall and thin young man turned around and exclaimed: "The enemy is catching up!" Everyone looked back, and sure enough, they saw a large group of Kai Xiao wearing khaki military uniforms and khaki leather armor.
Soldiers came swarming over.
The expressions of all the Han soldiers changed and they said urgently to Liu Xiu: "Sir, leave quickly. If you don't leave, it will be too late!"
Liu Xiu snorted coldly, looked at Long Yuan, Long Zhun, and Long Bu on the left and right, and said, "Can we fight?"
Long Yuan and the other three said in unison: "Fight!"
Without another word, Liu Xiu pulled out the Chixiao Sword from under his ribs and stepped forward. Long Yuan, Long Zhun, and Long Bo each also drew their swords, turned their wrists, and pulled out the sword flowers, and followed Liu Xiu forward.
Be prepared for battle.
Seeing this, the dozens of Han soldiers were stunned. The veteran leader hurriedly ran to Liu Xiu and said, "Sir, there are more than a hundred enemy troops chasing you!" There are only four of you, but you can be more than a hundred enemies.
rival?
Liu Xiu smiled and said nothing. He just changed from walking to trotting. As the distance between the two parties got closer, Liu Xiu changed from trotting to sprinting.
"Kill--" With a roar, a Kaixiao soldier rushed towards Liu Xiu, thrust his spear straight forward, and took out his chest.
Liu Xiu didn't even dodge, he swung his sword outward, and the spear he was stabbing broke with a click. Liu Xiu took advantage of the situation and struck out with his sword again, knocking the enemy soldiers on the opposite side to the ground.
Long Yuan, Long Zhun, and Long Bo rushed up and rushed into the enemy. The three swords were like three swimming dragons. Wherever they passed, blood splattered. Liu Xiu's front suddenly rushed over again.
Four enemy soldiers.
Four spears stabbed at him simultaneously.
Liu Xiu gave a shout and rose into the air, dodging the sharp edges of the four spears. When he was falling, he swung out a sword and the necks of the two enemy soldiers were torn open, two clouds of blood mist were sprayed out, and they both fell to the ground.
After landing, Liu Xiu stabbed to the left and right with his sword. With two pops, the two enemy soldiers were both hit in the neck by swords, following in the footsteps of his two companions.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, as many as ten enemy soldiers fell under the swords of Liu Xiu and the others.
Soon, the remaining enemy soldiers surrounded them, and the figures of Liu Xiu and the four men were immediately submerged among the enemy troops. However, in the center of the crowd, the sound of fighting continued, and blood arrows were sprayed over people's heads from time to time.
The dozen or so Han soldiers looked at each other, and the tall, thin young man said in a trembling voice: "We... let's run!" How could they be the opponent of more than a hundred enemy troops?
The veteran leader looked at the battle group in front and couldn't help clenching his fists. After hesitating for a while, he shouted to his companions around him: "We have already deserted once, and we cannot do it a second time! Brothers, go ahead."
!”
As he spoke, he picked up his spear, roared, and galloped forward.
The rest of the Han soldiers also shouted, followed the leading veteran, turned around and fought back. The tall and thin young man gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, hesitated for a moment, and then followed the crowd and rushed back.
When the old soldier and more than a dozen Han soldiers rushed to the battlefield, they took a closer look and were stunned.
There were more than a hundred enemy soldiers, but only about fifty were still standing. Looking at the center of the crowd, Liu Xiu and the four men were killing people like chopping vegetables. Every time the sword light flashed, an enemy fell to the ground, and the ground was scattered everywhere.
, all of them were the corpses of Wei Xiaojun.
People couldn't help but open their mouths and marvel in their hearts, who are these four people who fell to the ground? How could they be so skilled in martial arts? With four enemies against a hundred, not only did they remain unscathed, but they also killed most of the enemy troops.
After a while, the veteran came back to his senses, and a bright light flashed in his eyes. This battle can be fought! With such a master on our side, even if the enemy has a hundred more troops, we can still fight!
He shouted excitedly, held a spear, and attacked and killed. The rest of the Han soldiers were also inspired to fight and charged with their spears.
Facing Liu Xiu and the other four, Kaixiao's army was already unable to withstand them. Now another Han army came from behind. Kaixiao's army could no longer hold on. The remaining fifty or so men threw away about twenty corpses, and only the remaining
About thirty people fled in all directions.
Liu Xiu, Long Yuan and others took the lead in the pursuit. They were extremely fast. With just a few steps, they caught up with an enemy and beheaded them to the ground.
The veteran was not hesitant. He caught up with the two enemies and knocked them over with his spear. Seeing that there was another enemy running far ahead, he took a few steps and threw the spear in his hand hard.
The spear drew an arc in the air and hit the enemy soldier in the back. Poof, the tip of the spear protruded from his chest. The Kaixiao soldier staggered forward a few steps and then fell down.
Of the more than a hundred Kaixiao troops who pursued them, not even ten of them escaped in the end. Although the Han army veterans were panting from exhaustion and covered with sweat, their faces were full of excitement and joy.
.
He looked around, then quickly walked up to Liu Xiu, stepped in to salute, and asked excitedly: "I wonder what I call this gentleman?"
The skills of Liu Xiu and the others shocked the veterans. Their chief general Zang Gong was brave enough, but looking at the skills of these four people, they seemed to be no worse than the general.
Before Liu Xiu could speak, Xu Ying, Xu Ting, Xu Fei, and Luo You rushed over with five hundred Han troops. Everyone ran up to Liu Xiu, all stepped in and saluted, and said in unison: "Young Master!"
Young Master? What kind of title is this?! The dozens of Han soldiers on the side were stunned, secretly looking at Liu Xiu and others with surprised faces.
Liu Xiu looked at the veteran and asked, "Did you just say that five hundred soldiers of our army were trapped five miles away from here?"
The veteran was shocked, came to his senses, nodded repeatedly, and responded seriously: "Exactly! My brothers from the Fourth Battalion of the Fifth Battalion are besieged by thousands of enemy troops!"
After a pause, he bowed his hands to Liu Xiu and said, "I hope your lord... the young master will come to my rescue!"
The names everyone called Liu Xiu were too weird, and the veteran couldn't tell Liu Xiu's specific identity for a while, but one thing is certain, they are all on their own.
Liu Xiu said nothing and said to Long Yuan, Xuying and others: "Follow me to rescue the trapped brothers!"
Xuying hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and whispered: "Sir, the enemy's situation is unknown, so we should find out first before talking!"
Liu Xiu shook his head and said: "There is no time, we must set off immediately!" When the spies finish their inquiries and come back to report, it is estimated that there are not many left of the 500 people trapped.
