Liu Xiu wanted to go to Liu Yan and persuade him to wait until the fog cleared before marching, and there was no need to rush now.
There were too many people in the road team and the fog was too heavy. Liu Xiu was afraid of hurting people, so he rode forward on the roadside.
He was walking forward when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps from his side. He turned his head to look for the sound, but wherever he looked, he saw nothing but a vast expanse of white.
Liu Xiu subconsciously reined in his horse, his face was solemn, his brows furrowed, his eyes squinted, and he stared at the fog ahead without blinking.
Xu Ying and Xu Ting stopped on the left and right sides of Liu Xiu respectively, and looked at the white mist with him. They also heard the footsteps, but like Liu Xiu, they really couldn't see clearly the people running in the fog. Who is it?
The footsteps got closer and closer, and became clearer and clearer. Even the soldiers nearby heard them. People stopped subconsciously and looked curiously at the fog on the roadside.
Whoosh!
A black shadow jumped out of the fog without warning. The soldier standing directly in front of the black shadow didn't even see clearly what was going on. His chest had been pierced by a sharp spear.
Immediately afterwards, black shadows were seen running out of the fog one after another. These people wore iron helmets on their heads, wore leather armor, carried swords under their ribs, and held spears. The military uniforms inside were all black and brown.
Capital Army! Liu Xiu was shocked when he saw it. Before he could speak, an officer and soldier rushed out from the mist opposite him. The spear in his hand went straight towards Liu Xiu who was on horseback.
Liu Xiu also reacted quickly. He tightened his feet on the horse's belly and lifted the reins hard at the same time. The horse roared and his two front hooves were raised high, just in time to dodge the spear thrust by the officers and soldiers.
Xu Ying and Xu Ting, who were on his left and right, drew out their swords almost at the same time, swung the sword blade downwards, and with two clicks, the opponent's spear instantly broke into three sections.
Immediately afterwards, Xuying dismounted from his horse, and the sword in his hand moved outward slightly, hitting the officer and soldier between the eyebrows.
Poof! The tip of the sword penetrated deeply, and the sharp edge poked out from the back of the officer's head.
However, in just this moment, Zhu Tiandu's team seemed to explode. Countless officers and soldiers rushed out from the fog on both sides of the team.
These officers and soldiers were really like tigers out of their cages, armed with spears, stabbing and killing anyone they saw.
For a moment, the scene was filled with screams, sounds of fighting, screams and wailings of people dying before they died.
At this time, Liu Xiu also hurriedly drew out his Chixiao Sword and slashed at the officers and soldiers who rushed towards his horse.
He cut off two spears and killed two officers and soldiers in succession. But looking around him, within a radius of three meters, there were crowds of people, all of whom were officers and soldiers. Except for Xu Ying and Xu Ting, his own soldiers , can no longer see others.
咴咴——
As the war horse neighed, two spears thrust from the side penetrated deeply into the horse's belly.
The war horse fell sideways, and Liu Xiu fell off the horse. The moment he landed, more than ten officers and soldiers gathered around him. They all raised their spears and stabbed Liu Xiu in the body.
Liu Xiu lay on the ground, shouted loudly, and swept the Chixiao sword in a circle in the air. Hearing a series of crisp sounds, the spears that were thrust towards him broke off one after another.
The officers and soldiers were not slow to react. When they saw that their spears were cut off, they immediately threw away half of the spear shafts in their hands and drew out the swords from their ribs.
"kill--"
The crowd raised their swords high and tried to chop at Liu Xiu. Xu Ying and Xu Ting both roared and rushed over with their swords. They killed several officers and soldiers, opened a gap, and dragged Liu Xiu away from the crowd.
came out.
Click, click, click! The sharp swords around were slashing on the ground, hitting the rocks, crackling, and sparks flying everywhere.
Pulled by Xu Ying and Xu Ting, Liu Xiu stood up and said urgently: "It's the Capital Army! The Capital Army came to Nanyang, and we were ambushed by the Capital Army!"
While Xu Ying and Xu Ting were killing the besieging officers and soldiers, they turned their heads and asked anxiously: "General, what should we do now?"
"Go to the big brother!" Liu Xiu first pointed forward, but then he changed his mind and said loudly: "Break out backwards!"
The eldest brother is highly skilled and has strong generals such as Liu Ji and Deng Feng beside him. He has enough ability to protect himself, but the second sister is different from the younger sister. They do not have the ability to protect themselves.
Comparing the two sides, Liu Xiu felt that the second sister and the younger sister needed him more.
He took Xu Ying and Xu Ting to go back the way they came, but now it was too difficult for them to go back. They rushed back all the way and met few of their own soldiers, all of whom were huge crowds of officers and soldiers.
Just as Liu Xiu and the other three were rushing forward to fight, there was a sudden chaos behind them. Liu Xiu turned around and looked back, but could not see anything clearly. The people who came out of the fog were all officers and soldiers.
More than a dozen officers and soldiers chased Liu Xiu and others. They were about to attack with spears when they suddenly heard the ringing of the war horses' copper bells. Then, a cold light suddenly appeared in the crowd, and the heads of three officers and soldiers flew into the air.
.
Immediately afterwards, a horse jumped out of the mist. The knight on the horse was burly, broad-shouldered, with a dark red face and a full beard. He was holding a nine-eared and eight-ringed sword. This was none other than Ma Wu Mazi Zhang.
Ma Wu cut off the heads of three officers and soldiers with one sword, and then swept the broadsword horizontally. He was strong enough, and the nine-eared eight-ring sword was sharp enough. This sword slashed horizontally and was unstoppable, and three more officers and soldiers were killed.
Killed to the ground.
Seeing Ma Wu's extraordinary bravery, the other officers and soldiers were so frightened that they retreated to both sides. Ma Wu rushed through the crowd and came to Liu Xiu. Seeing Liu Xiu, Ma Wu breathed a sigh of relief and said in a hurry: "My lord——"
Liu Xiu waved his sword forward and shouted: "Zizhang, help me clear the way!"
Without saying a word, Ma Wu jumped over Liu Xiu, brandished the nine-eared eight-ringed sword, and charged forward. Ma Wu's martial arts skills were not just what he boasted. The nine-eared and eight-ringed sword was in his hand and he waved it away.
, you will die if you stick to it, and you will die if you touch it. Wherever Ma Wu passed, there were corpses on the ground in all directions, and there was almost no complete corpse among them. Either the head was missing, or it was cut off at the waist.
.
He rushed forward dozens of meters away with his sword, and no less than a hundred officers and soldiers died under his sword.
Just as Ma Wu continued to charge forward, officers and soldiers on both sides of the road pulled up the horse ropes. Ma Wu was not paying attention, and the horse under his crotch was tripped by the horse ropes.
The war horse roared and fell forward, and Ma Wu also fell down.
Fortunately, he had rough skin and thick flesh, and the moment he landed, he rolled forward very skillfully and relieved a lot of strength. The surrounding officers and soldiers thought they had an opportunity and attacked him slightly.
Ma Wu, who was lying on the ground, shouted loudly. He held the knife in one hand and swung it around. The ankles of more than a dozen officers and soldiers were cut off by the nine-eared and eight-ringed knife, and people fell to the ground screaming.
The officers and soldiers behind were unmoved, passed over their injured companions, and continued to charge forward.
One of the soldiers came to Ma Wu first, raised his spear, and was about to stab him. Before Ma Wu could dodge to the side, a red light suddenly appeared in the air.
The Red Sky Sword pierced the sky, flew over, and hit the soldier in the chest. Immediately afterwards, Xu Ying and Xu Fei jumped to Ma Wu's left and right, killing back the officers and soldiers who were attacking him from both sides.
Taking this opportunity, Ma Wu jumped up from the ground and kicked one foot to the side, with his toe right on the hilt of the Red Sky Sword.
The Scarlet Sky Sword broke away from the corpses of the officers and soldiers, spinning in the air and flying out. Liu Xiu, who was running forward, stretched out his arm, accurately caught the Scarlet Sky Sword flying towards him, and slashed to the left and right.
Click, click! On both sides of him, there was an officer and soldier wailing and falling into a pool of blood.
As the battle continued, the originally thick fog began to gradually fade, and people's sight gradually became able to see into the distance.
At this time, looking at the road, fighting was happening everywhere, and soldiers from both sides were fighting everywhere.
The nearly 30,000-strong Zhu Tiandu tribe was already quite small in number, but the number of officers and soldiers who ambushed them was even greater. Looking around, the officers and soldiers were so densely packed and dark that it was impossible to count them.
A closer look at the situation on the battlefield revealed that it was actually one-sided. Many soldiers and family members of the Zhu Tiandu Department were surrounded by countless officers and soldiers.
Under the joint siege of officers and soldiers, the soldiers and their families were killed one by one to the ground. The encirclement became smaller and smaller, and there were fewer and fewer people inside. There were piles of corpses on the ground, covered with blood.
Flow into a river.
At this time, Liu Xiu could no longer care about other people. He had to fight back to find his younger sister and his second sister.
Although Ma Wu had lost his war horse at this time, he was still invincible, and the nine-eared eight-ringed sword in his hand was still unstoppable.
With Ma Wu, the God of Martial Plague, clearing the way, Liu Xiu, Xu Ying, and Xu Ting were suddenly under pressure. All they had to do was follow Ma Wu and resist the enemy troops rushing from both sides.
Looking at Liu Boji, the carriage Xu Xiling was riding in was already vaguely visible. At this time, the officers and soldiers besieging Liu Xiu and the four people suddenly stepped out of a passage. Then, the sound of rapid horse hoofbeats was heard, and a man burst out from the crowd of officers and soldiers.
ride.
The horse arrived, and so did the cold light. The cold light went straight to Ma Wu's neck. Ma Wu dodged to the side, and the three-pointed two-edged sword almost brushed the side of Ma Wu's neck.
Cen Peng! Seeing the enemy general rushing towards him, Liu Xiu frowned secretly. It was not good to meet anyone, so why did he meet him!
Without a single hit, Cen Peng and his horse galloped past Ma Wu and rushed out more than ten meters away. He turned the horse's head and rushed back towards Ma Wu. The three-pointed two-edged sword drew a long line in the air.
The lightning struck directly at Ma Wu's face.
Ma Wu leaned down, and this time the sharp edge of the three-pointed and double-edged sword flashed close to his scalp, but Ma Wu was not idle either. He roared and swept the nine-eared eight-ringed sword out.
The target of the sweeping blade was not Cen Peng, but the four legs of the horse under his crotch.
Click!
This sword swept down, two of the four hooves of the war horse were broken, and two hooves were broken. The war horse neighed, and due to inertia, it fell forward. Cen Peng also fell from the horse to the ground. Ma Wu refused to give up, and it was strange.
He yelled and walked towards Cen Peng with the knife in hand.
Cen Peng was also unambiguous. A carp jumped up from the ground, dragged a three-pointed two-edged sword, and started fighting with Ma Wu on land.
Dang, Dang! Dang, bang, bang! The duel between the two of them was fierce, with the sound of swords clashing one after another, causing everyone around them to retreat involuntarily, and some soldiers even covered their ears.
Liu Xiu also wanted to rush into the formation for Ma Wu, but the scream of a woman in the distance shocked his body. He secretly screamed something bad and blurted out: "Little sister--" As he spoke, he held the sword
Run towards the carriage.
Xu Ying and Xu Ting followed closely behind and ran towards the carriage with Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu and the others no longer remember how many officers and soldiers they killed. The three of them rushed out of the group of officers and soldiers covered in blood, and finally ran to the vicinity of the carriage.
At this time, the carriage has been surrounded by officers and soldiers on three levels inside and three levels outside. It is completely blocked. There must be at least hundreds of people. Looking inside the crowd, there is a circle of our own soldiers standing around the carriage. The leader is exactly
Li Tong.
Li Tong held the sword in both hands and was panting. Blood was dripping down his clothes. It was unclear whether it was his own or the enemy's. Under his feet, there were more than ten corpses of officers and soldiers lying in random directions.
