As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed! The sudden appearance of officers and soldiers, and there were so many officers and soldiers, everyone under Zhu Tian was trying their best to escape, but Li Tong led his people to protect the carriage Liu Boji was riding in at the first time.
He fought hard and was scarred, but he refused to let any officer or soldier get close to the carriage.
Just now, Liu Boji was so frightened that she screamed when she saw Li Tong almost being stabbed in the chest by a spear.
Seeing that Li Tong and others were in a critical situation, Liu Xiu, Xu Ying, and Xu Ting rushed over. Without saying a word, they came from outside the encirclement of officers and soldiers and fought their way up.
They arrived suddenly, and the officers and soldiers were caught off guard, and seven or eight of them were killed in an instant. Liu Xiu took the lead to break through the encirclement of the officers and soldiers, and met up with Li Tong, Xu Fei and others.
Seeing Liu Xiu coming, Li Tong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said breathlessly: "My lord, Miss Boji is safe and sound!"
Liu Xiu nodded vigorously to Li Tong and said: "Ci Yuan, you go and catch the car, Xu Ying, Xu Fei, Xu Ting, follow me to clear the way!"
"General——" Xu Ying, Xu Fei, and Xu Ting looked at him with worried faces.
The three of them know Liu Xiu's physical condition best. His internal injuries have not recovered. The Battle of Xinye has worsened his internal injuries. Now he has to fight with the enemy for a long time. This is tantamount to risking his own life.
spell.
There was no time for nagging, Liu Xiu shouted: "Follow me to kill the enemy——"
As he spoke, he swung the Red Sky Sword and rushed towards the officers and soldiers in front. Xu Ying, Xu Fei, and Xu Ting had no choice but to follow Liu Xiu with all their strength and protect him, and they swarmed in with slashes.
of officers and soldiers.
The battlefield of this battle was not in one place, but spread over more than ten miles.
When breaking through the encirclement, we often encountered our own soldiers, family members, and officers and soldiers swarming in.
I don't know how far I went after breaking out, but a large group of officers and soldiers rushed towards me. Looking at it, I estimated that there were hundreds of people.
At this time, Liu Xiu's body was already numb, the hand holding the sword was shaking constantly, and the internal organs in his body were churning, burning, and the pain was unbearable.
He gritted his teeth and faced the enemy troops rushing from the front. Whoosh! From the side, an eagle-feather arrow suddenly flew towards the throat of an officer and soldier.
Poof! The officer and soldier fell on his back. Immediately afterwards, a second arrow and a third arrow flew from the side. The officers and soldiers who were attacking Liu Xiu were hit by arrows one after another and fell to the ground.
All the officers and soldiers who fell to the ground were shot in their vital organs. After falling, they could never stand up again.
Liu Xiu turned around and saw that the man shooting the arrow diagonally was Fu Jun.
Seeing Fu Jun, a sharpshooter, arriving here, Liu Xiu's confidence doubled. As he ran forward, he picked up a shield discarded by an officer and soldier, and collided with an oncoming officer and soldier.
Bang!
The collision between shield and shield caused a loud noise. The Chixiao sword in Liu Xiu's hand penetrated the opponent's shield and penetrated deeply into the chest of the officer and soldier.
As the officers and soldiers fell, Liu Xiu took advantage of the situation and pulled out the Chixiao Sword. He held a shield in one hand and held it in front of him. He held the sword in the other hand and stabbed forward continuously.
Puff, puff, puff! The officers and soldiers standing in front of him were stabbed down by him one after another. The officers and soldiers rushing from both sides of him were either blocked by Xu Ying, Xu Fei, and Xu Ting, or were shot over by Fu Jun.
land.
Hundreds of officers and soldiers, under the charge of Liu Xiu and others, dozens of them fell. Seeing the bravery of this group of people, the officers and soldiers did not want to fight with them anymore, so they retreated to both sides.
However, just as the offensive of this group of officers and soldiers was suppressed, hundreds more officers and soldiers came out from both sides of the road. The officers and soldiers gathered together and soon formed an army of thousands of people.
This battle can no longer go on. There are too many officers and soldiers, and they cannot be killed or chopped down.
Nearly a thousand officers and soldiers launched a siege against Liu Xiu and others. While Liu Xiu was struggling to kill the surrounding enemy troops, he suddenly heard the sound of horses neighing and screaming from behind. Liu Xiu swung his sword with all his strength and killed them in one breath.
After getting rid of the three officers and soldiers nearby, he took two steps back. When he looked back, he saw that the carriage driven by Li Tong had overturned, and Liu Boji and Xu Xiling were getting out of the carriage in a state of embarrassment.
Liu Xiu secretly gritted his teeth and could only turn around and charge back. Liu Xiu, Xuying and others retreated to the overturned carriage and joined Li Tong, Liu Boji, Xu Xiling and others.
At this time, there were only a dozen of them left. When they looked around, they saw a huge crowd, all of them officers and soldiers. There were three floors inside and three floors outside, and an airtight array of iron barrels was set up around them.
Liu Xiu gasped for breath, and the blood flowing from the top of his head almost turned his eyes red. Just when he was about to fight the officers and soldiers, a group of cavalry suddenly arrived.
This group of cavalry charged straight into the crowd of officers and soldiers. For a moment, people fell on their backs and screams were heard everywhere.
The leader of the cavalry, like a sharp blade, tore open the encirclement of the officers and soldiers and rushed towards Liu Xiu and others.
Liu Xiu looked up and was overjoyed. The person who came was Yao Qi and Yao Cikuang. Yao Qi was holding a iron-pointed steel gun and killed him until his whole body was covered with blood. Even the tip of the steel gun was hung with many
Rag strips and minced meat.
When he came to Liu Xiu and others and saw the situation clearly, Yao Qi jumped off his horse, put the reins directly into Liu Xiu's hands, and said hurriedly: "Master, take Miss Boji and leave quickly!"
"Next situation——"
Yao Qi rushed from the front line of the Zhutian Army to here, and he had a thorough view of the entire battlefield situation.
He said urgently: "The number of enemy troops ambushing our army this time is no less than sixty or seventy thousand. My lord, leave quickly. If you don't leave, it will be too late!"
After hearing Yao Qi's words, everyone present took a breath. Sixty to seventy thousand people! We have less than twenty thousand soldiers to fight!
In fact, 60,000 or 70,000 people were on the small side. Yao Qi suspected that the size of the enemy army might be around 100,000, or even more.
Liu Xiu held the reins handed over by Yao Qi and asked, "Next time, you guys..."
"We will cover the lord and Miss Boji's breakout! My lord, hurry up and get on the horse!" Yao Qi almost pushed Liu Xiu onto the horse, and then he pulled Liu Boji over, grabbed her waist, and lifted her up.
Pass it to Liu Xiu.
If Liu Xiu was just a person, he would not choose to escape alone no matter what. He would fight side by side with his brothers to the end, live together and die together.
But now my little sister is still here. If I don't take my little sister to break out, my little sister really has no way to survive.
Liu Xiu panicked, grabbed Liu Boji's arm, pushed her back hard, and pulled her down on the horse. The two of them rode together.
Seeing that Liu Xiu and Liu Boji were on their horses, Yao Qi shouted loudly: "Cover the lord to break out!" As he spoke, he held a steel-pointed steel gun and rushed straight to the crowd of officers and soldiers in front.
Before the people arrived, the spear arrived first. Two pops were heard in the ear, and the spear directly penetrated the bodies of the two officers and soldiers.
Yao Qi did not draw his gun, but shouted loudly, exerted force with both arms, and swept the gun to the left and right. Crash! The spear with the corpses of two officers and soldiers hanging on it swept away a large group of enemies on both sides.
The group of cavalry he brought with him also rushed forward and rushed into the crowd of officers and soldiers through the gap opened by Yao Qi.
Liu Xiu also planned to withdraw with Li Tong and others, but Li Tong swung his sword first, aimed at the buttocks of Liu Xiu's horse, and slapped it hard.
The war horse screamed in pain, threw off its hooves, and rushed out following the cavalry.
Liu Xiu held Liu Boji in his arms, bent over, and the two brothers and sisters' bodies were almost pressed against the horse's back, and they rode forward.
As they ran down, the number of cavalry guarding them became smaller and smaller. From time to time, some cavalrymen were knocked off their horses by the officers and soldiers with spears.
Immediately, Liu Xiu subconsciously covered Liu Boji's eyes. Everything that happened around her was too tragic.
The officers and soldiers who looked like wolves and tigers were all red-eyed and killed everyone they saw. No matter whether they were soldiers or family members, men or women, old or young, as long as they saw someone who was not one of their own, they would immediately rush forward and take action.
Killed by spear.
On the battlefield for more than ten miles, there were countless corpses on the ground, and the road for more than ten miles was almost stained red with blood.
As Liu Xiu and Liu Boji were running forward, the scene of officers and soldiers besieging and killing family members once again appeared in front of them. But what made Liu Xiu heartbroken was that this time the officers and soldiers were besieging and killing not others, but the family of the second sister Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan stood with his three daughters and several servants. There were more than ten corpses of servants on the ground. When Liu Xiu saw Liu Yuan's family, the officers and soldiers were besieging them frantically, and the besieging officers and soldiers were
The more they gather, the more they gather.
If Liu Xiu had not been sitting on horseback at this time, he would not have been able to see Liu Yuan and others in the crowd.
Several servants who were protecting Liu Yuan's family fell down in the blink of an eye. Then, a delicate scream was heard, and an officer's spear pierced Liu Yuan's side mercilessly.
The body of a little girl.
Liu Xiu could see clearly, his eyes almost bursting open, that was his niece. He slashed the Chixiao Sword directly on the horse's buttocks, causing the horse to gallop forward desperately in pain.
But it was too late. None of Liu Yuan's three young daughters were spared. They were all killed one after another by the spears of the officers and soldiers. The small bodies fell to the ground and soon turned into a bloody mass.
.
At this time, Liu Xiu finally rushed in front of the officers and soldiers. The force of his horse's sprint knocked one of the officers and soldiers away. Immediately, Liu Xiu swung the Chixiao sword in his hand and slashed the surrounding officers and soldiers like crazy.
He forced his way in from the outside of the circle surrounded by officers and soldiers, urged his horse to approach Liu Yuan, and did not dare to look at the body on the ground. He stretched out his hand and said urgently: "Second sister, follow me!"
Watching his three young daughters die tragically at the hands of officers and soldiers, Liu Yuan's heart was filled with despair and his eyes were lifeless.
She raised her head blankly, looked at Liu Xiu and Liu Boji, opened and closed her mouth, and uttered two words: "Let's go!"
"Second sister—" Liu Xiu stretched out her arm, grabbed Liu Yuan's clothes, and tried to pull her sister onto the horse, but it was too late.
An officer and soldier rushed up from behind Liu Yuan and pierced Liu Yuan's lower back with a spear. The tip of the spear was exposed from her lower abdomen.
Liu Yuan seemed to feel no pain. There was no pain on his face, only a lifeless calm.
She grabbed Liu Xiu's wrist and said intermittently: "Xiu...take the little girl...go...live...for me..." Live!
Before she finished speaking, another spear pierced her body again. Liu Yuan raised his head and looked at Liu Xiu and Liu Boji on the horse, and fell down softly.
puff!
When Liu Xiu couldn't help it any longer, he felt a heat in his chest, and a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth, splashing a large area of Liu Boji's clothes behind her back.
"Third brother——" Liu Boji was now in a semi-conscious state, and her weak cry awoke Liu Xiu's consciousness.
He can't die, not yet, he has to protect his little sister and let her leave here alive!
