Li Shou's accident completely disrupted Liu Xiu's plan. Liu Xiu originally planned to wait for Chung Ling, Wancheng and Xinye to be fully prepared before starting a joint uprising.
Wancheng can directly take the county seat, and Chongling and Xinye will then reinforce it. In the early stage of the uprising, they can take it by surprise and deal the most fatal blow to Nanyang County, leaving Nanyang County leaderless, and the next war will be difficult.
Much easier.
But now, all the early plans have come to nothing. It can be said that no place in Chongling, Wancheng, or Xinye has completed preparations. However, forced by the situation, they have no choice but to bite the bullet and start a hasty attack.
This is far from the original plan.
But Li Shou, the bad guy, was already dead, and he died so miserably. Liu Xiu could no longer complain. For now, he could only withdraw all his resources to Chongling as soon as possible, concentrate his strength, and prepare for the upcoming battle.
The arriving county troops started a life and death battle.
Li Tong and Li Yi endured their grief and hurried back to the main house in Wancheng, preparing to take away the recruited brothers and the hoarded supplies, and follow Liu Xiu back to Chongling.
Liu Xiu went to the backyard to bid farewell to Yin Lihua.
After meeting Yin Lihua, Liu Xiu first told Yin Lihua the current situation, and then he said: "The Li family can no longer stay in Wancheng, we must withdraw to Chongling."
Yin Lihua said seriously: "Uncle Wen, I'll go with you!"
Liu Xiu smiled and asked: "Lihua, do you know what we are going to do when we return to Chongling this time?"
Yin Lihua said decisively: "Rise up."
Liu Xiu asked: "Then you still want to go with me?"
Yin Lihua said: "I'm not afraid."
"But I'm afraid." Liu Xiu lowered his eyes and said quietly: "The original plan is now completely messed up. The incident has been hastily and life and death are unpredictable. I can't let you take risks with me."
"Uncle Wen, I told you, I'm not afraid!" Yin Lihua looked at Liu Xiu firmly.
Liu Xiu shook his head and said: "You stay here! This village is not recorded in the name of the Li family, and no one knows that it is the village of the Li family. You will be safe here. In addition, I will stay
Uncle Zhong and the others will protect you."
As he spoke, he turned around and waved to Long Yuan, Long Zhun, and Long Bo behind him.
Long Yuan and the others quickly stepped forward and bowed to Yin Lihua together, saying in unison: "Miss Lihua!"
"Uncle Wen!" Yin Lihua looked at Liu Xiu unwillingly. She didn't want to be locked up in this village like a canary, nor did she want to always seek protection from others.
Liu Xiu looked at Yin Lihua deeply and said meaningfully: "Lihua, believe me, it won't be long before I come in person to pick you up and reunite you with your second uncle, Junling."
Yin Lihua looked up at Liu Xiu and said nothing for a long time.
At this time, Deng Yu and others hurried into the back garden. Jiu'er came out of the crowd and shouted: "Lord, Li Tong, Li Yi and the others are in trouble in the city!"
Liu Xiu was shaken, turned around, and asked, "What's going on?"
"Li Tong and Li Yi have alerted the county government, and now the government officials and officers and soldiers have blocked the city gate and prevent them from leaving the city!" Jiuer said urgently.
Liu Xiu took a breath. If it were normal, the county government in Wancheng would not dare to interfere with the Li family's affairs. Thinking about it, Zhen Fu must have been angry with the Wancheng county government in advance.
Now they saw that Li Tong and Li Yi were taking so many people and materials out of the city, and they became wary, so the county government blocked the city gate and prevented Li Tong, Li Yi and others from leaving the city.
Judging from this, it is estimated that it will not be long before the county government will get the news, and the county army will probably be attracted by then.
Thinking of this, Liu Xiu said anxiously to Yin Lihua: "Lihua, I have to go! I was the one who sent you here in the first place, and I will definitely come to take you back in the future!"
Yin Lihua knew in her heart that under the current situation, it was impossible for Liu Xiu to take her with him. Seeing that he was about to leave, she suddenly grabbed his arm.
Liu Xiu stiffened, stopped, and looked back at Yin Lihua in confusion. She felt sad and her eyes were filled with mist. Her voice was slightly trembling as she warned: "Uncle Wen, be careful!"
"I will!" Liu Xiu nodded to Yin Lihua, and then strode out without stopping.
Long Yuan, Long Zhun, and Long Bo subconsciously wanted to follow him. Liu Xiu said without looking back: "You three stay! I will leave Lihua to you. If she makes any mistake, I will ask you for it."
.”
The three of them looked at each other, stopped, and then saluted Liu Xiu's back as he walked away quickly.
Liu Xiu took Deng Yu, Yan Guang and others, left Zhuangzi and went straight to the south gate of Wancheng.
By the time they arrived at the south gate of Wancheng, they were already fighting in a group. Wancheng was a big city, and there were a lot of government officials, officers and soldiers in the city. The Li family, headed by Li Tong and Li Yi, were fighting in a melee with many government officials, officers and soldiers.
Together, the fighting was fierce, and many corpses and injured people were lying on the ground, including the Li family, Wancheng government officials, and officers and soldiers.
There are many officers and soldiers in the gate tower above the city gate, and the leader is the county magistrate of Wancheng.
He held the arrow stack with his hand and pointed at Li Tong below. Li Yi screamed: "Li Ciyuan, Li Jiwen, you two are so brave!"
"You are rebelling!" "Do you know that you have committed the crime of exterminating the nine tribes?" "I have reported it to the county government, and the county army will be here immediately. You are now unable to fly!"
Seeing the situation clearly at the South City Gate, Liu Xiu's eyes flashed with light. Without saying a word, he strode over and at the same time, he drew out the Red Sky Sword from under his ribs.
Deng Yu and others followed closely behind, also remaining silent as they drew out their respective swords and swords.
The city gate was not closed, but those blocking the gate were all Wancheng government officials and officers and soldiers.
Liu Xiu approached the crowd and without saying a word, he aimed his sword at one person's back.
The government officials and officers and soldiers never dreamed that an enemy would appear behind them. The officer and soldier standing in front of Liu Xiuzheng bore the brunt and was penetrated through the chest by his sword.
The officers and soldiers screamed and fell to the ground. When the surrounding government officials, officers and soldiers saw this, they were all shocked. Liu Xiu pulled out the Chixiao Sword from the body, then divided it to the left and right, and swung one sword each.
The two government officials next to him were unable to dodge, and each had their chests cut open by the sword's edge. They both screamed and fell to the ground.
Deng Yu, Yan Guang, Zhu You and Gai Yan followed Liu Xiu and charged into the city gate with all their strength. The government servants and officers and soldiers blocking the city gate hole were not well prepared and were killed by Liu Xiu and others who suddenly appeared.
It didn't take long before the people were forcefully forced out of the city gate.
Liu Xiu followed closely and rushed out of the city gate. He looked around and saw Li Yi not far away. He shouted loudly: "Ji Wen, don't be reluctant to fight, retreat quickly!"
Li Yi swung his sword and chopped down a government official in front of him. He turned to look at Liu Xiu and said urgently: "Our supplies are still in the city and cannot be transported out!"
"No! Let the brothers retreat quickly!" Supplies are important, but people are more important. If all the people are dead, what's the use of needing supplies? Liu Xiu shouted to Li Yi urgently.
Li Yi looked around and saw that more and more government officials, officers and soldiers were gathering. If he didn't leave, he might really be trapped and die in the city.
He secretly gritted his teeth, roared angrily, slashed the enemies around him with his sword, opened a bloody path, and came to Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu threw his head back and said: "Let's go!" After a pause, he asked again: "Where is the dimension?"
Li Yi gasped and said: "The trick is messed up, I don't know where the dimension is!"
Liu Xiu glanced at him and said nothing more. As he charged into the city, he shouted loudly: "Ciyuan! Li Tong Li Ciyuan!"
"Lord—" Li Tong's shout came from a distance. Liu Xiu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked for the sound and charged towards Li Tong.
The magistrate of Wancheng County who was on the city gate tower thought that Li Tong and Li Yi had become his thorns in the urn, but he never expected that they would have someone to help them outside the city.
Standing on the city gate tower, looking at Liu Xiu, Deng Yu, Yan Guang and others below, he was invincible. His cold sweat was streaming down his face, and he shouted to the left and right: "Close the city gate! Close the city gate quickly! Don't let anyone escape."
!”
At this time, they wanted to close the outer city gate, but it was impossible. The government officials and officers and soldiers in the city gate cave had been killed and retreated. The officers and soldiers on the city gate tower could only close the inner city gate.
The inner city gate is a gate, and the switch that controls the gate is in the gate building. After hearing the county magistrate's order, several burly officers and soldiers hurriedly turned the noose and lowered the gate.
Liu Xiu, who was about to join Li Tong, heard a sharp crunching sound from behind. He turned around and saw that the gate was slowly falling from the top of the city gate.
Once the gate falls, these people will really become turtles in the urn, and will be trapped alive in the city. When Liu Xiu was in a panic, someone rushed over at an incredible speed, Li Yi.
Li Yi, who was already located near the city gate, took a quick step and ducked under the falling gate. When he reached the outside of the gate, he turned around, waved to Liu Xiu who was still in the city, and said urgently
: "Uncle Wen, stop fighting and retreat! If you don't leave, it will be too late!"
Before Liu Xiu could speak, he suddenly heard a roar and a tall and majestic figure stood under the gate.
Liu Xiu took a closer look and saw Gai Yan. He spread his legs and stood directly under the gate. He raised his eyes and looked up. Then he raised his hands to catch the falling gate.
"Lord, don't worry! I'm here!" Seeing that Gai Yan managed to hold up such a large iron gate with only his own strength, everyone present, friend or foe, were all shocked and horrified. How big must this man be?
What strength!
Liu Xiu nodded at Gai Yan and continued to charge into the city without any further hesitation.
He could not leave Li Tong behind and run for his own life. Li Tong regarded him as his lord, friend and brother, and was willing to sacrifice everything for him. Liu Xiu was willing to repay this friendship with his life.
He fought his way through numerous government officials, officers and soldiers, and finally reunited with Li Tong and others.
There were so many enemies gathered here by Li Tong that it was almost impossible to move forward. Liu Xiu looked around at everyone and shouted: "Life or death depends on this battle. Brothers who don't want to die, follow me and fight out of the city!"
Liu Xiu's arrival was like a shot in the arm for everyone present. Since he could rush to them and join them, he could naturally lead them to break out from here. Everyone shouted in unison: "Kill——"
Once people lose their fighting spirit and morale, the battle will only become harder and harder to fight; but once their fighting spirit and morale increase, the battle will become easier and easier to fight.
Under the leadership of Liu Xiu, people's confidence doubled, and everyone used their best strength to follow Liu Xiu and rush towards the city gate with all their strength.
