Liu Xiu looked at the dozen soldiers and asked, "Would you like to go back with me to save your comrades?"
The leading veteran stepped in without even thinking, "As long as your lord... Young Master is willing to take us with him, we will go up to the mountain of knives and into the sea of fire, and we will do whatever it takes!"
Liu Xiu looked at the rest of the people, and the other dozen soldiers said in unison: "We are willing to follow you and fight the enemy to the death!"
Only the tall and thin soldier had a pale face, lowered his head, and remained silent. Even the hand holding the spear was trembling.
Liu Xiu's eyes fell on him and did not move away for a long time. The leading veteran looked at him and said in a deep voice: "Bamboo pole!"
The tall and thin young man's nickname was Zhugan. Hearing the veteran's shout, he trembled and hurriedly raised his head. The veteran said: "Zhugan, don't give in!"
Gulu! Zhugan swallowed his saliva and immediately lowered his head.
Liu Xiu walked up to him and asked in a soft tone: "How old are you?"
"The villain...The villain is eighteen years old..."
Eighteen! Not yet the age to be crowned (a woman is fifteen and a man is crowned, and a man is twenty and is considered an adult). Liu Xiu nodded and asked, "Why did you join the army?"
Zhugan blushed and whispered, "Eat a full stomach."
Liu Xiu's eyes dimmed, he raised his hand and patted the young man on the shoulder, and smiled at him: "When the world is peaceful, I guarantee that everyone will have enough to eat. By then, the people will no longer have to join the army to fill their stomachs!"
The young man stared blankly at Liu Xiu, unable to recover for a long time. Liu Xiu patted his shoulder again and said: "Go south, twenty miles south of Geyang Village is our army camp, go quickly!
"
"Master, I...I..."
"Go! You haven't been crowned yet, so you shouldn't have joined the army. If you leave now, it won't be considered a desertion."
The leading veteran hurriedly saluted Liu Xiushen and said seriously: "Thank you, Master!" As he spoke, he looked at the bamboo pole and reminded in a low voice: "Thank you, Master!"
Zhugan stood there, staring blankly at Liu Xiu, without reacting for a long time.
Liu Xiu took a deep breath and shouted loudly to the people around him: "Everyone, come with me to fight!"
"Here!" Everyone responded in unison. Liu Xiu didn't delay any more and let the veteran lead the way. He led everyone straight to the fighting site ahead. Zhugan looked at Liu Xiu and everyone's running away, and he
His face changed uncertainly, and finally he stamped his feet and shouted loudly: "I'm not a coward! I'm not a coward!" As he spoke, he held up his spear, threw off his two long legs, and ran straight to chase Liu Xiu and others.
go.
Liu Xiu, who was running forward, heard the sound of rapid footsteps behind him. When he looked back, he found that it was Bamboo pole catching up with him. The leading veteran frowned and asked: "Bamboo pole, why are you following me?"
"
"I...I will not be a deserter! Since I have surrendered to the army, I will not be a deserter!" Zhugan shouted loudly as he accelerated forward and ran forward.
Liu Xiu was delighted and said, "If you withdraw to the camp now, I won't count you as a deserter!"
Zhugan loudly replied: "I am a Han soldier! Han soldiers can be defeated, but they cannot be bullied! I am not a deserter!"
Liu Xiu nodded and praised sincerely: "Well done! After this battle is over, I'll treat you to a drink!"
Zhugan grinned and shouted loudly: "Thank you sir!"
A group of them ran forward for more than five miles. Looking further ahead, they saw that there was indeed a battle ahead. On the periphery of the battlefield were the flags of the Kuai Xiao Army, and in the center of the battlefield, there was a flag hanging on a halberd.
Han flag on the top.
The sound of fighting coming from the battlefield could be heard from a long distance. After Liu Xiu looked at it, without hesitation for a moment, he drew out his sword and shouted: "Soldiers of the Han army, follow me to kill the enemy! This battle will not be over.
Speak of righteousness and only do it for your comrades!"
"Kill -" all the Han soldiers shouted in unison. Under the leadership of Liu Xiu, each armed with weapons, they rushed straight to the battlefield.
Liu Xiu took the lead. As soon as he reached the edge of the battlefield, several enemy soldiers ran towards him, stabbing him with two halberds and three spears.
Seeing that the sharp edge was about to pierce him, Liu Xiu lowered his body and rolled on the ground. Under two halberds and three spears, he rolled to five enemy soldiers and followed with the Chixiao Sword.
Sweep out.
Sha! The leather armor on the lower abdomen of the four soldiers was cut open, and as blood spattered, Bai Huahua's intestines flowed out. The four soldiers screamed and fell to the ground. Liu Xiu turned over and stood up from the ground,
The Red Sky Sword thrust straight forward.
Poof! The blade of the sword penetrated the chest of the enemy soldier, and without a moment's pause, he immediately pulled it out. Another spear came towards him. Liu Xiu made a move like lightning, grabbed the shaft of the spear, and pierced the opponent's chest with a sword in return.
chest.
He swung the spear he was holding to the side, deflected the other spear, then stabbed the other spear with his sword, and hit the other man in the chest.
Before the corpse in front fell to the ground, Liu Xiu stepped forward and hit the corpse hard with his shoulder. The corpse flew upside down and knocked the three enemy soldiers behind him staggering back.
Before the three enemy soldiers could stand still, Liu Xiu caught up with him like a shadow, stabbing forward with the Red Sky Sword. Puff, puff, puff. Under the sharp edge of the Scarlet Sky Sword, the bodies of the three soldiers were as if they were made of paper.
, all had their chests pierced.
Liu Xiu killed dozens of enemies in one breath. His speed and fierceness were truly staggering.
Long Yuan, Long Zhun, Long Bu, Xu Ying, Xu Ting, Xu Fei, and Luo You were also unequivocal. They surrounded Liu Xiu and killed the enemy troops on both sides of him one after another.
The Han army led by Liu Xiu was like a sharp knife, piercing deeply into the enemy.
The Han army was besieged by enemy armies and was engaged in a battle between trapped beasts. When they saw their own reinforcements suddenly being killed, people simply couldn't believe their eyes.
For a time, the morale of the trapped Han army was greatly boosted. The people roared loudly and charged toward Liu Xiu and others. The situation on the battlefield changed instantly. Kui Xiao's army, which had been completely dominant, suddenly became in danger.
Liu Xiu charged forward with his sword and stabbed forward with the Red Sky Sword. The soldiers of the Kaixiao army who were blocking him fell to the ground one after another with the sword. Wherever he passed, the ground was covered with a layer of corpses.
The military lord in Kai Xiao's army noticed Liu Xiu. He rode on his horse, picked up his bow and arrow, pointed it at Liu Xiu, and shot an arrow silently.
Liu Xiu really didn't pay attention to the cold arrow flying from the side. The bamboo pole not far from Liu Xiu saw it and shouted: "Master, be careful..."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Xiu suddenly swung his sword to the side, and the arrows that flew towards him were bounced away.
Liu Xiu was also startled and broke into a cold sweat. He turned to look at the bamboo pole and nodded heavily to him. The bamboo pole shouted and rushed towards the military prince who shot the cold arrow.
There were a large number of soldiers surrounding the military marquis, and people went straight to the bamboo poles to greet them.
Liu Xiu frowned secretly, took three steps into two steps, and chased to the side of the bamboo pole. He slashed outward with the Chixiao Sword continuously, and several of the spears that were thrust towards him were cut off.
The bamboo pole seemed to be going crazy. He held the spear in both hands and rushed forward desperately. The spear also stabbed forward continuously, stabbing several bloody holes in the chest of an enemy soldier directly in front of him.
The knight on horseback gritted his teeth with hatred, re-twisted his bow and arrow, aimed it at the bamboo pole, and shot an arrow.
The bamboo pole that had just stabbed an enemy soldier to the ground shouted at Liu Xiu who was not far away: "Sir, I have also killed the enemy -"
"Okay..." Liu Xiugang was about to praise him, but suddenly he saw a flying arrow shooting towards the bamboo pole. He shouted: "Be careful!"
At this time, Liu Xiu wanted to help, but it was already too late. He heard a popping sound in his ear, and the arrow hit Zhugan's chest, and the arrowhead poked out from behind him. Zhugan's body shook, and his whole body froze.
Liu Xiu saw it clearly. He drew his sword continuously and chopped down several enemy soldiers around him to the ground.
At this time, Zhugan staggered forward, raised his eyes to look at the military lord, opened his mouth, and wanted to shout, but the "kill" sound he made was so low that even he himself could not hear it.
He staggered forward. The military lord twisted his bow and arrow again, and shot another arrow in the belly of the bamboo pole. The bamboo pole's body shook again, and he supported the ground with his spear to prevent himself from falling.
.
The enemy soldiers swarmed in, spears were drawn out, and the sound of sharp swords piercing through the body could be heard all the time.
Just when the enemy soldiers were holding spears and stabbing at the bamboo poles, a red light suddenly appeared, and an enemy soldier's neck made a popping sound. When people around him took a look, it turned out that there was a shocking thing stuck in his neck.
Sword. Red Sky Sword!
Liu Xiu rushed forward with flying strides. Before the corpse fell to the ground, he was already close. He pulled out the Chixiao sword and swung it to the side. Amidst a series of screams, the surrounding enemy soldiers fell to the ground one after another. Liu Xiu fiercely
He reached back and grabbed the bamboo pole that was about to fall down.
Zhugan's eyes had lost their luster, and he looked at Liu Xiu without focus, and kept saying: "I am not a deserter... I am not a deserter..."
If an unknown soldier of his own side fell in front of him, it would only make Liu Xiusheng angry and inspire more murderous intent.
But he knew Zhugan, he had just spoken to him, and he knew that he was only eighteen years old. For such a half-year-old boy, who was not very courageous, to be able to follow him into battle to kill the enemy, he must have had so much determination and so much courage.
But now, he fell in his arms. His young face had lost its vitality, and the luster in his eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by ashes of death.
Whoosh——
Another arrow flew towards him. Liu Xiu's eyes were still on Zhugan's face, and he waved his sword outward with his other hand. The arrow clattered and the arrow flew away.
He put down the corpse of the bamboo pole, raised his eyes to look at the military prince, grabbed the spear used in the bamboo pole, and ran towards the military prince.
Groups of enemy troops came towards him. Liu Xiu held a sword in his right hand and a spear in his left hand, thrusting forward at the same time. The two enemies fell to the ground. He turned around and passed by an enemy soldier. That man
Turning around, he wanted to attack his back. Suddenly, a blood arrow spurted out from his neck.
The spear in his hand could no longer be pierced, so he knelt on the ground with a thud and covered his neck with his hands, unable to scream. Liu Xiu killed seven or eight enemies in a row in the crowd, forcing his way through the crowd.
When the military leader saw this, he no longer dared to shoot his arrow and turned his horse to prepare to run.
Liu Xiu gave a loud shout, took three steps into two steps, came to his horse, and thrust out a spear with all his strength.
The military prince didn't even see the trajectory of the spear clearly. He heard a popping sound in his ears, and the spear pierced his lower abdomen and came out from his back.
Liu Xiu roared again and used his spear to force the general off his horse.
This Junhou was the leader of the Kaixiao army. Seeing the Junhou being stabbed to death by the enemy, the expressions of the other Kaixiao soldiers changed drastically. People looked at Liu Xiu and retreated involuntarily.
Liu Xiu pulled out his spear, and then stabbed it down hard. Poof, the spear's body was nailed to the ground, and the spearhead penetrated his body and was deeply embedded in the soil. Liu Xiu raised his head and looked around at the enemy troops.
, shouted: "Kill——"
Wherever he passed, blood arrows shot out one after another. The nearby Kaixiao army lost their fighting spirit, and people screamed and fled in all directions. Soon, the defeat of Kaixiao army spread from this point to the entire army.
The people gave up the fight and turned around and fled. The Han army led by Liu Xiu became red-eyed and pursued them. Wei Xiao's army ran and died all the way. Liu Xiu led the Han army and chased them for more than ten miles before they came to an end.
