In just this moment, seven or eight more county soldiers jumped onto the city wall.
People looked around quickly and saw that Liu Xiu was the only one on the city wall. They didn't say a word, some pulled out their swords, some took off their crossbows, and surrounded Liu Xiu one after another.
Liu Xiu took a deep breath, showed no fear, advanced instead of retreating, and faced him with his sword.
A county soldier was the fastest and reached Liu Xiu first. The two of them drew their swords almost at the same time and stabbed each other's vital parts.
Liu Xiu's body swayed, and the sword edge passed by his side, but his sword penetrated the opponent's chest.
While he drew his sword, he kicked out the body of the county soldier who was caught in the sword, and knocked the county soldier who was following behind him to the ground.
When the county soldier fell to the ground, two other county soldiers came to Liu Xiu, one on the left and one on the right, and slashed with their swords. Liu Xiu jumped back in a hurry, and with two dings, he slashed with two long swords.
on the ground.
Before he could stabilize his body, two county soldiers raised their crossbows, aimed at Liu Xiu, and each fired a crossbow arrow. Liu Xiu also reacted quickly and swung two swords in succession. Dang, both arrows were struck.
Get out of the way.
The two sword-wielding county soldiers rushed towards him again, still slashing with their swords. Liu Xiu shouted, and while taking a step back, he raised his sword to parry. With the sound of the collision of iron tools, two balls of sparks flew out.
suddenly appeared between them.
Before the opponent could retract his sword and attack again, Liu Xiu kicked out with his lower body, hitting a county soldier in the calf. The county soldier screamed and threw himself forward involuntarily. Liu Xiu's shot was like lightning and he grabbed him.
His armor was then lifted up forcefully to block it in front of him.
Poof, poof! The two crossbow arrows that flew towards Liu Xiu were blocked by the county soldier. Liu Xiu grabbed the county soldier's body and pushed it outward with all his strength, causing it to hit another county soldier.
On top of them, one person and one corpse fell to the ground.
The county soldier who couldn't fall to the ground got up again. Liu Xiu flew towards him. When he fell, he stabbed downward with his sword. Poof! The sword edge penetrated the opponent's chest, poked out from behind, and even penetrated him.
The bricks of the city wall beneath him.
The four county soldiers holding crossbows behind saw this and secretly grinned. Originally, they were quite happy to see that there was only one enemy in the city. They thought he was just a sentry sent by the enemy in the north city, but they never expected that this enemy
It was so powerful that he killed so many people on his side in one go.
The four county soldiers reloaded the crossbow arrows into the crossbow machine, aimed at Liu Xiu, and fired the crossbow arrows together.
The distance between the two sides was too close, and four arrows were fired simultaneously. Under normal circumstances, Liu Xiu might be able to dodge, but now he has no physical strength, and his body is far less agile than normal.
He tried his best to dodge to the side, but he was still a little slow. His left arm was hit by a crossbow arrow. Since it did not hit the bone, the resistance was not that great. The crossbow arrow directly penetrated the flesh and flew out, and landed on his arm.
Two bloody holes were shot out from the front and back.
Liu Xiu groaned and threw himself forward, rolling to the ground.
Seeing this, the four county soldiers threw away their crossbows, drew out their swords, and went straight to Liu Xiu. When they got close to him, the four men slashed at him with their swords with all their strength. Liu Xiu lay on the ground, holding his sword horizontally.
Parry upward.
Dang, Dang, Dang! The four chopped long swords hit the Chixiao Sword at the same time. Due to the great force, the Chixiao Sword was also hit on Liu Xiu's chest due to the pressure.
The four county soldiers were about to sheath their swords when Liu Xiu suddenly raised his arm, and a crossbow arrow flew out of his cuff incredibly, hitting one of the county soldiers in the neck.
Poof! The tail of the crossbow arrow was exposed in front of the county soldier's neck, and the tip of the arrow poked out from the back of his neck.
Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu actually had such a trump card, and the other three county soldiers were so frightened that they took a step back in unison.
Taking advantage of the gap when they retreated, Liu Xiu grabbed the Chixiao Sword again, jumped up from the ground like a carp, and swept out with his sword.
Sha! The blade of the sword cut open the lower abdomen of a county soldier. In an instant, red and white fluids flowed out and hit the county soldier's feet.
The latter opened his mouth wide and fell stiffly on his back. The remaining two county soldiers roared angrily and stabbed Liu Xiu with their swords.
Liu Xiu ignored the man behind him and rushed towards the county soldier directly in front. The opponent's sword penetrated his armpit, while his sword penetrated the opponent's lower abdomen.
The two men fell to the ground together. The remaining county soldier, holding his sword high, walked up to Liu Xiu, pointed it at his back, and made a gesture to stab him with the sword.
Unexpectedly, a crossbow arrow suddenly flew from behind him, hitting him squarely in the back of the heart. The county soldier kept his sword raised, his body stiffened for two or three seconds, and then he fell forward.
Liu Xiu turned over on the body and lay on the ground. He raised his head with difficulty and looked in the direction of the crossbow arrow. He saw Jiu'er throwing away a crossbow and running towards him quickly.
He breathed a sigh of relief and lay on the ground, breathing heavily. Jiuer came to Liu Xiu and looked down, almost not recognizing him. At this time, Liu Xiu's face and body were covered with blood, and his whole body was covered with blood.
People were almost dyed into blood.
Seeing Liu Xiu lying motionless on the ground, Jiuer hurriedly knelt down beside him and asked with concern: "Liu Xiu, are you injured? Where are you injured? Quickly let me see!"
Seeing that Jiu'er was so anxious that she was groping around on her body with tears in her eyes, Liu Xiu twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine... Hey! Hey! Don't move my arm..."
Jiu'er grabbed his arm, and although it didn't touch the wound directly, it still caused Liu Xiu's facial features to wrinkle in pain. Only then did Jiu'er finally see where Liu Xiu's injury was.
The wounds left by crossbow arrows are not big, but usually very deep. However, Liu Xiu's wound was not a question of whether it was deep or not, but the wound was shot directly through the arm.
After Jiu'er looked at his wounds, tears flowed down uncontrollably. She pursed her lips and choked with tears: "Please bear with it!"
While talking, she tore open Liu Xiu's sleeves, then took off her water bag and poured water on Liu Xiu's wounds.
A heartbreaking pain swept over her, causing Liu Xiu's eyesight to turn black, and he almost fainted on the spot. Then Jiu'er took out the golden sore medicine and sprinkled it on Liu Xiu's wound.
Finally, she tore off a piece of her own clothes and bandaged the wound on Liu Xiu's arm. This series of actions could be said to be done in one go. She definitely didn't just learn it, and she must have practiced it many times.
Liu Xiu turned to look at Jiu'er, who was concentrating on treating her wounds, and asked with a smile: "Jiu'er, I didn't know, it turns out you also know medical skills."
Jiu'er bandaged him carefully while wiping her tears and said, "Yan Guang taught me this!"
Liu Xiu sighed and said, "Since it was Zi Ling who taught you, then Zi Ling is also your master. How can you call the master by his first name? It's so rude!"
Jiuer rolled her eyes at him and said, "I still call you by your first name!"
"That's different." Liu Xiu never cares what other people call him, but that doesn't mean that others are like him.
Of course, he knew that Yan Guang didn't care about the title, but he and Yan Guang were not the only people Jiu'er came into contact with. There were many other people who didn't understand etiquette and didn't even know when they had offended others.
.
After treating Liu Xiu's wound, Jiu'er took a long breath, sat down next to Liu Xiu, and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, I understand, it's just such a small thing, you can't do it."
I have been nagging for a long time, but it seems that your injury is really nothing serious!"
Liu Xiu couldn't help shaking his head and laughing. He changed the topic and asked: "How are Nancheng, Dongcheng, and Xicheng? Have they repelled the enemy troops?"
"have no idea."
"ah?"
"I was just looking for you, and I didn't pay much attention to the fighting situation everywhere."
Liu Xiu sighed softly. He leaned on the ground with the Chixiao Sword and stood up with difficulty. Jiuer quickly stood up, supported him, and said displeasedly: "You are injured, lie down here and rest!"
"
"It's not time to rest yet!" Liu Xiu said, "I have to go to Xicheng to see!"
Knowing that she couldn't persuade him, Jiuer said helplessly: "I'll help you over!"
By the time Liu Xiu returned to Xicheng, the fighting here had come to an end and the attacking county soldiers were retreating.
Seeing the bandage on Liu Xiu's arm, Zangong and Fu Jun quickly stepped forward and asked in unison: "General Liu (Lord), are you injured?"
Liu Xiu looked at his arm and said nonchalantly: "I was just hit by an arrow. The skin is injured. It's not a problem! How is the situation here?"
"The county soldiers have withdrawn, and there are not many of us left." As he spoke, Zangong pointed to the surrounding Green Forest Army and said, "Everyone who can breathe is here!"
Liu Xiu looked around and saw that there were only about twenty people around him, and all of them were injured. Two of them were seriously injured and had fainted.
He nodded and said faintly: "Thank you everyone for your hard work!"
"General Liu, we are not afraid of hard work! As long as we can kill a few more reckless soldiers to back us up before dying, it will be worth it!" everyone around said.
The Green Forest Army has fought against officers and soldiers more than once or twice. Almost everyone has a close comrade, or even a relative, who died tragically at the hands of officers and soldiers. Their hatred for the officers and soldiers is also the deepest.
Liu Xiu didn't say anything more. He waved to everyone and said, "Let's go! Let's go to Nancheng!"
The battles in Dongcheng and Nancheng have also ended.
After a night of fierce fighting, the defenders of more than 400 people were reduced to less than 100. However, the casualties of the county soldiers were even greater. The county soldiers, who originally numbered 3,000, could continue to fight despite the casualties.
There are only seven or eight hundred people left.
The sky was getting brighter, and the sky was turning white. Liu Xiu stood on the top of the city and looked up. Just here in the south city, the city was covered with corpses, and the blood dried up, staining the city walls in patches of dark brown.
The offensive and defensive battle this night was so fierce that both sides were exhausted and unable to fight anymore. Deng Yu walked to Liu Xiu and asked with concern: "My lord, are you okay?"
Liu Xiu shook his head slightly. Deng Yu looked outside the city and said: "In this battle, our side suffered heavy casualties, and the county soldiers suffered even more heavy casualties. It is estimated that the county soldiers will be unable to launch another offensive in a short period of time! It's just..."
"Just what?"
"The longer this battle drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be to our side. I'm worried that changes will occur in the city." Deng Yu said worriedly.
They had just occupied Chaoyang City, and the big families in the city still didn't know their details and didn't dare to act rashly. However, once the war was prolonged and the big families in the city gradually figured out their strength, in order to please the government, these big families would probably gather their servants.
The guards and retainers caused chaos in the city.
