Chapter 243: Going out of the city to meet the enemy
"Lord..." Xu Xiling looked at Liu Xiu with an expression of embarrassment. She did not agree with defending Xinye, it was too dangerous, and she did not agree with Liu Xiu's move to go out to fight in the city. In her opinion, this was undoubtedly a way to die.
Liu Xiu shouted sharply: "I say it again, this is an order!"
Seeing that Liu Xiu was angry, Xu Xiling did not dare to say any more. She took Liu Boji's arm and said, "Miss Boji, let's... go back!"
"No!" Liu Boji looked at Liu Xiu and asked, "Third brother, are you going to go out to fight in the city? I don't agree..."
Before she finished speaking, Liu Xiu looked deeply at Xu Xiling, who grabbed Liu Boji's arm and dragged her away.
Watching the two of them get on the carriage, Liu Xiu looked back, turned around and shouted: "Open the city gate!"
Just as the government officials were working together to move the bolts of the city gate, another group of people came running from behind, some with swords, some with knives, and more with sticks.
Liu Xiu couldn't help but be startled when he saw the leader clearly. This was the steward of his mansion, Liu Quan.
When Liu Quan and his entourage ran up to him out of breath, Liu Xiu asked angrily: "Liu Quan, why are you here?" Looking behind Liu Quan, he saw that most of the people coming were the nursing staff from his mansion.
servant.
Liu Quan took a few deep breaths to calm down, and then he said: "Master, we are late, please forgive me!"
"Liu Quan, let me ask you, what are you doing here?" Liu Xiu asked in a deep voice.
"We are the young master's family. Wherever the young master is, we should be there. If the young master wants to go into battle to kill the enemy, we must also go into battle with him!"
"What nonsense! Come back here!" Do you think fighting is a child's play? Liu Xiu reprimanded unceremoniously.
Even though he said this, he was still deeply touched in his heart. In fact, he had not known Liu Quan and others for a long time, but they were willing to live and die with him. It was not easy to do this.
Later, when Liu Xiu's family members caused trouble, Liu Xiu protected them so much that he even fell out with his generals for the sake of their family members. This is the reason why.
Liu Quan said with red eyes: "Young Master, please don't let us go back! From the day we become your dependents, our lives belong to you! You are here, and I am here, Master."
Without it, we wouldn’t be alive anymore!”
As dependents, if their master attains enlightenment, they can ascend to heaven. But if their master dies, they cannot survive. If they fall into the hands of officers and soldiers, they will only die by being burned.
Liu Xiu looked at Liu Quan, and then at everyone else. People were also looking at him, with firm eyes, showing no signs of flinching or fear. Liu Xiu sighed secretly, nodded, and said, "In this case, today, you
Follow me and fight side by side, we will live and die together and fight to the death with the reckless army!"
The city gate slowly opened, and more than a hundred people led by Liu Xiu rushed out.
The county soldiers who were using ramming vehicles to ram the city gate in front of the city gate were stunned. They never dreamed that the defenders would open the city gate. Before people could recover, Liu Xiu, who was leading the way, rushed towards them.
As he walked and passed by, the Chixiao Sword drew a cold light in the air.
The two county soldiers felt their eyes blurred, and then, the two heads fell to the ground. The blood-stained Chixiao sword immediately emitted a strange red light. Liu Xiu held the long sword and rushed straight to the county soldiers in front.
The crowd rushed away.
Xu Ying, Xu Fei, and Xu Ting followed closely behind. The three of them gathered on both sides of Liu Xiu to help him defend against the enemies on both sides.
call!
A spear was thrust towards him. Liu Xiu dodged to the side and passed the edge. At the same time, he grabbed the spear and stabbed it back with his sword.
Poof! The chest of the county soldier on the opposite side was pierced by the Chixiao Sword, and he screamed and fell on his back. While Liu Xiu drew his sword, he also snatched the opponent's spear away from him.
Immediately afterwards, he held a sword in one hand and a spear in the other, and rushed forward. Poof! The sharp edge of the spear pierced one person's abdomen. Before he could pull the spear head out of the opponent's body in time, two more spears stabbed at him.
Liu Xiu swung his sword, Dang Dang, and the two thrusting spears were blocked. He swung his sword forward and swept forward. The two county soldiers, as well as the county soldier whose belly was pierced by a spear, were all wounded on the neck.
Cut off, and three heads flew up from their shoulders.
Xu Ying, Xu Fei, and Xu Ting were not idle either. The three of them waved their swords away, and the surrounding county soldiers fell to the ground from time to time. Liu Xiu and others were brave and killed dozens of county soldiers as soon as they came out.
This greatly boosted the morale of the family members and government officials behind. People shouted loudly and rushed forward with all their strength to kill.
Liu Xiu and his entourage suddenly came out of the city, and indeed caught the attacking Juiyang County soldiers by surprise. However, the Juiyang County soldiers soon realized that there were not many people who came out of the city. People gradually calmed down and began to attack Liu Xiu.
Xiu and others gathered here, but not long after, numerous county soldiers surrounded them.
Seeing this, Zhu You on the top of the city pointed his sword downwards and shouted: "Shoot the enemies on the outside! Quick! Concentrate your arrows! Shoot the enemies on the outside!"
Under Zhu You's command, one hundred soldiers aimed their crossbows at the surrounding county soldiers.
As the crossbow arrows flew down round after round, the surrounding county soldiers were hit by arrows one after another and fell to the ground.
Liu Xiu and others in the encirclement were not idle either, using all their strength to kill the swarming enemy troops.
The battle between the two sides quickly entered a fierce stage. Liu Xiu rushed forward while looking for the enemy general.
However, Fei Jun was very smart. He wore neither official uniform nor helmet. He was dressed like ordinary soldiers, namely ordinary county soldier uniforms and leather helmets. He blended in with the crowd and was no different from ordinary soldiers.
The difference is that the county soldiers around him are extremely strong. These people are his personal guards, brave and good at fighting, and their skills are much better than ordinary county soldiers.
As arrows continued to fly down from the top of the city, causing great damage to the county soldiers, Fei Jun asked one of his soldiers to pass on the order to disperse the rebel army who was fighting out of the city. In this way, both sides
The soldiers are mixed together, and the arrows fired by the rebels at the top of the city will be worried.
Fei Jun's move worked well. The county soldiers took advantage of the large number of people and scattered more than a hundred people led by Liu Xiu. Even Xu Fei and Xu Ting who were following Liu Xiu were scattered to unknown places.
, the only ones still with him are Xuying, Liu Quan and a dozen of their family members.
The two sides changed from being distinct from each other to being mixed together. This indeed greatly affected the arrow shooting of the defenders at the top of the city, and the pressure on the county soldiers also dropped sharply.
Seeing that there seemed to be not many county soldiers on one side, Liu Quan greeted Liu Xiu: "Young Master! This way!"
As he spoke, he took the lead in rushing over with two servants armed with gangs. I don't know whether Liu Quan had good luck or bad luck, but the side he chose happened to be where Fei Jun was.
Fei Jun himself is a civil servant and does not know how to fight and is not good at fighting with others, but the soldiers around him are not simple.
Seeing several rebels charging toward our side, two soldiers immediately stepped forward to block Liu Quan and the others. After the two sides met, without saying a word, Liu Quan raised his sword and struck.
One of the soldiers raised his sword horizontally to parry. With a clang, Liu Quan's sword was blocked.
Immediately afterwards, the soldier turned sideways and kicked Liu Quan in the chest, knocking him to the ground. The soldier turned his wrist, held the sword upside down, and walked up to Liu Quan, making a gesture to strike with the sword.
Stab it down.
The two servants who followed Liu Quan both roared angrily, and one of them bumped into the soldier regardless.
Bang! The two bodies collided with each other. The soldier leaned back and took a step back. On the other hand, the servant who took the initiative to bump into the person took three big steps back.
Before he could stand firm, the soldier arrived in front of him in two strides. When the man arrived, the sword also arrived. The sword's edge penetrated the servant's throat, and the sword's edge poked out at the base of his neck.
Seeing that the servant was stabbed to death by the opponent's sword in order to save him, Liu Quan roared like crazy, got up from the ground, swung his sword and hacked at the soldier indiscriminately.
He only slashed three times with his sword, but the opponent swept his leg and kicked Liu Quan to the ground again.
However, at the same time, the soldier felt an evil wind on his side. He subconsciously swung his sword outward, and a ball of sparks suddenly appeared in the air. The soldier felt numbness in his arm and a stinging pain in the tiger's mouth.
At this time, the person who rushed over to confront the soldiers was none other than Liu Xiu.
Experts will know if there is any as soon as they make a move. The two sides clashed with each other head-on and had a rough judgment on the opponent's strength. Liu Xiu frowned secretly. This county soldier has a lot of strength, and his strength is much higher than that of ordinary county soldiers.
.
He didn't have time to think about it, and stabbed forward with the sword in his hand. The soldier did not dare to neglect, concentrated on blocking, and blocked with all his strength.
Dang, Dang, Dang! Liu Xiu stabbed five times in a row. He took Liu Xiu's five sword blows forcefully, but he was forced to retreat five steps. Seeing that he was defeated by Liu Xiu, another soldier stepped forward and swept his sword across his body.
Lower abdomen.
Liu Xiu swung his sword outward, clanging, and the long sword that swept across was bounced away. He slipped and stepped to the side of the man, and stabbed the opponent's weak spot with the Red Sky Sword. The soldier was shocked and secretly said, "How fast!"
Shenfa!
How did he know that Liu Xiu was seriously injured now and could not even use 50% of his usual skills? Otherwise, with Liu Xiu's speed, how could he see clearly?
The soldier hurriedly dodged sideways. Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu's sword attack on him was just a feint. The real killing move was a quick sword strike against another soldier.
I saw his body turning around again, and he had already moved to the side of another soldier. Following his movement, the Red Sky Sword flashed past the other person's neck.
hiss!
The soldier's throat was torn open by the sword, and a blood arrow spurted out.
He swayed twice and fell straight forward. Seeing this, the soldiers present were all shocked. They did not expect that when the other party was fighting against two soldiers, not only did he not fall at a disadvantage, but he also
Killed one person.
This person is not an ordinary person! He must not be an ordinary person among the Zhu Tiandu tribe!
All the soldiers looked at Fei Jun, who nodded. The soldiers separated out a dozen people and went straight to Liu Xiu. The remaining dozen people closely guarded Fei Jun.
More than a dozen soldiers surrounded Liu Xiu. Just as they were preparing to launch a joint siege against Liu Xiu, a soldier suddenly screamed.
I saw an extra sword tip on his chest, and the sword pierced him silently from behind.
When the opponent drew his sword and kicked the corpse down, the soldiers present saw clearly that there was a person standing behind him.
They didn't know this person, but Liu Xiu knew him. This person was Xu Ying. Liu Xiu greeted Xu Ying, then pointed his sword directly at Fei Jun and shouted: "There!"
Fei Jun was not wearing an official uniform. He was dressed like an ordinary county soldier. However, he ignored an important point, which was that the strength of the soldiers around him was significantly higher than that of ordinary county soldiers.
It is unusual for so many powerful soldiers to gather together on the battlefield, so the person they protect must also be someone of extremely important status.
Through this, Liu Xiu judged that the person protected by these soldiers was most likely the commander-in-chief of the Juiyang County soldiers.
Liu Xiu has always been alert and has a strong sense of opportunity. If the other party inadvertently exposes the slightest flaw, he may notice it and take advantage of it.
