Liu Xiu looked at the second sister's fallen body, and refused to let go of her hand holding her clothes. At this time, the surrounding officers and soldiers had already surrounded him, and dense spears were directed at him and Liu Boji.
He roared loudly and swung the Chixiao Sword. The sound of the spear breaking was heard in one continuous sound. Liu Xiu kept roaring and urging his horse forward, slashing downwards with the sword in his hand.
The officers and soldiers blocking the horse were knocked to the ground by the horses' hooves, and the officers and soldiers who came up from the left and right fell under the sharp edge of the Red Sky Sword. However, two of the officers and soldiers who came up from behind still stabbed the horse's buttocks with their spears.
The war horse was in pain, neighing and charging forward wildly. A tearing sound was heard in the ears, Liu Yuan's clothes were torn, and only a rag was left in Liu Xiu's hands.
Liu Xiu hurriedly turned around and saw that the second sister's body had fallen to the ground. Officers and soldiers swarmed around and raised their spears, which landed on Liu Yuan's body.
Blood splashed everywhere, dyeing everything around him red, and also dyed Liu Xiu's eyes red.
At this time, what flowed out of his eyes was no longer tears, but blood. Liu Xiu's body swayed on the horse, his throat felt sweet, and he vomited blood again.
There is a huge age difference between Liu Yuan and Liu Boji, but they are similar in age to Liu Xiu. The relationship between the two siblings is much deeper than that between the two sisters.
Witnessing the murder of Liu Yuan's family with her own eyes, Liu Boji was also heartbroken, but her grief was far less profound than that of Liu Xiu.
After her father died of illness, her mother took her eldest sister to live with her maternal grandfather. Growing up, Liu Xiu was taken care of by her eldest brother Liu Yan and her second sister Liu Yuan.
In the eldest brother, he experienced father's love, and in the second sister, he experienced mother's love.
But at this moment, the second sister's family died tragically in front of him. He could do nothing and no one could save him. This feeling was like two invisible big hands tearing his body apart.
Crush into powder.
Liu Xiu was shaky on his horse, with blood and tears flowing from his eyes, and blood pouring out of his mouth.
However, the surrounding officers and soldiers did not care about this. People trampled on the corpses of their companions and swarmed in again, stabbing Liu Xiu and Liu Boji with dense spears.
"Third brother—" Liu Boji's scream once again brought Liu Xiu back to his blurred consciousness. The strength burst out from nowhere in his body. He swung his sword and slashed to the left and right. The Red Sky Sword was still sharp, slashing in the long direction.
On the spears, the spears were broken one after another.
At this time, a horseman rushed out from among the officers and soldiers. The general on the horse held two hammers and urged the horse to rush towards Liu Xiu. Both hammers came out, one hammer hit Liu Xiu and the other hit Liu Boji.
The two hammers came fiercely, with a harsh whistling sound. Liu Xiu quickly turned his horse's head, and the horse stepped sideways, causing the hammer that hit Liu Boji to miss, while the hammer that hit Liu Xiu had already landed on his head.
.
Liu Xiu tried his best to parry with his horizontal sword raised.
Bang! With a harsh clash of iron tools, Liu Xiu spat out blood again. His arms felt as if they were electrified, and he could hardly hold the Red Sky Sword.
Because the force of the opponent's blow was too great, the two hind hooves of the war horse could not withstand it, so they broke off and knelt down on the ground. Before Liu Boji could react, Liu Xiu had already hugged her waist and threw her out diagonally.
At the moment when the two brothers jumped out, the two hammers came down again, breaking the waist of the war horse kneeling on the ground.
The reckless general holding the hammer missed two consecutive hits and screamed in anger. He knocked the hammers in his hands hard and heard a loud clanging sound. The officers and soldiers around him were so shocked that they covered their ears and retreated.
The war horse under the reckless general neighed, and Liu Xiu and Liu Boji rushed over again.
Liu Xiu immediately pushed Liu Boji in his arms away with all his strength, and faced the oncoming war horse.
"Get down here!" The reckless general on the horse used his arm strength and hit Liu Xiu with both hammers.
Liu Xiu took a deep breath and swallowed a mouthful of old blood back into his stomach. He pressed the tip of his tongue against the upper teeth and made a gesture of parrying with a horizontal sword.
Seeing this, a frightening and fierce light flashed in the eyes of the reckless general, and he put all his strength into the two hammers, just thinking of bringing down the two hammers and smashing Liu Xiu flat.
But what he didn't expect was that Liu Xiu's parry was just a feint. When the two hammers landed close to him, he jumped out sideways, not only passing the opponent's two hammers, but also avoiding the collision of the war horse.
He moved laterally only about half a meter away, and then he paused and put a little more force on the ground with his toes. He jumped into the air, and there was an obvious pause time in the air. When General Mang's horse passed by him
At that moment, he reached out with one hand, grabbed the armor on the opponent's shoulder, and pulled hard. The reckless general was not pulled down by Liu Xiu. Instead, his body hovering in the air was pulled by the force of the pull, and he sat down on the reckless general.
behind.
The reckless general turned pale with fright. He was about to turn around and knock down Liu Xiu who was sitting behind him, but he was too late. Liu Xiu's Red Sky Sword had already touched his neck and made a horizontal stroke.
puff!
A blood arrow spurted out from the general's neck, bang, bang, bang. The hammers in General Mang's hands fell to the ground with two muffled sounds. Liu Xiu grabbed the opponent's hair with one hand and held the Chixiao Sword desperately with the other.
Tuck back.
Liu Xiu forcibly cut off General Mang's huge head, and the headless body fell off his horse. Liu Xiu picked up the severed head and without delay, roared and threw it away with a wave of his arms.
Liu Boji, who had been pushed away by Liu Xiu just now, was still lying on the ground and could not get up for a while, but there were already several officers and soldiers beside her carrying spears, and they cautiously approached her.
One of the officers and soldiers came close to her, raised his spear, and was about to stab her, when a round head suddenly flew towards him, hitting him squarely in the face.
The officer and soldier screamed, blood spurted from his mouth and nose, and fell on his back. The officers and soldiers around him were so frightened that they all screamed. Liu Xiu urged his horse to come. The horse ran around Liu Boji, and the officers and soldiers around him were also naked.
Xiaojian chopped down a circle.
Taking this opportunity, Liu Xiu leaned down, grabbed Liu Boji's arm, pulled her from the ground to the horse, and still sat in front of Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu tightly held Liu Boji's waist with one hand, and held a sword in the other.
Kill the officers and soldiers who come to attack you.
At this time, Liu Xiu had only one thought left in his mind: he could die, but he must let his little sister live. At the very least, he must leave a bloodline to the Liu family.
There were so many officers and soldiers that no matter how Liu Xiu cut or killed, it seemed like there would be no end. On the battlefield where large armies are fighting, one person's ability is too limited, and the role one person can play is also too limited.
Already.
At this time, there were at least twenty or thirty corpses of officers and soldiers lying around Liu Xiu's horse. But looking around him, the number of officers and soldiers not only did not decrease, but gathered more and more, like a tide, it was difficult to see.
to the end.
In this case, I am afraid that the individual will despair.
Liu Xiu was also desperate, but there was still one thought in his heart, which was to let his little sister live. It was this little thought that supported him, allowing him to numbly chop the enemy troops around him.
Just when Liu Xiu and Liu Boji were trapped in a tight siege and unable to escape, a large group of Zhutiandu soldiers came up from behind and killed them. Before anyone arrived, someone yelled: "Axiu——"
Liu Xiu didn't need to look back, he just listened to the sound. His mind couldn't help but trembled. It was the elder brother who was here! The elder brother was still alive!
Hearing Liu Yan's cry, Liu Xiu used his remaining strength to chop down two officers and soldiers who were approaching. Then the others slowly lay on Liu Boji's back, even the Chixiao in his hand. The swords fell to the ground.
When the officers and soldiers nearby saw this, their eyes lit up and they rushed forward like crazy. However, the arrows flying from the side knocked the officers and soldiers rushing towards Liu Xiu to the ground one after another.
Liu Yan, Liu Ji, Deng Feng, Ma Wu, Yao Qi and others who were leading the way had already entered the crowd of officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers blocking the front were rushed into chaos by these people.
Liu Yan took the lead in approaching Liu Xiu and Liu Boji.
At this time, Liu Xiu was already unconscious, lying on Liu Boji's back, with blood dripping from the corners of her mouth and even her body. When Liu Boji saw Liu Yan, she burst into tears and shouted: "Brother - —”
Looking at his semi-conscious younger brother who had turned into a bloody man, and then looking at his younger sister who was already crying into tears, Liu Yan's heart was split. He roared and threw out both swords in his hands, knocking out the two charging men. The officers and soldiers who came up were stabbed to the ground. With his free hand, he first picked up the Chixiao sword nailed to the ground, then grabbed the reins of Liu Xiu's horse, and only said: "Let's go!"
Liu Yan led the horses of Liu Xiu and Liu Boji, and led the remnants of Zhu Tiandu's tribe, charging out all the way, while gathering his own soldiers and family members along the way.
The road for more than ten miles has become a Shura field and a Yama hall, with corpses everywhere and supplies scattered everywhere.
They fought all the way, and in the end, they succeeded in breaking out of the ambush of the officers and soldiers and successfully broke out.
Liu Yan led the remnants of his troops and fled southward. It took more than four days for Zhu Tiandu's troops to walk from Jiyang to Xiaochang'an Ju, but they were defeated in Xiaochang'an and returned to Jiyang in less than a day. arrive.
This battle was really miserable for the Zhu Tiandu tribe.
Following the 30,000 soldiers and family members, only 3,000 people were left who finally fled back to Jiyang. More than 20,000 people died in the hands of the officers and soldiers. Among the more than 20,000 people who were killed, Including Liu Xiu's second sister Liu Yuan and his three nieces.
Liu Yuan's husband Deng Chen was lucky enough to survive because he had been fighting beside Liu Yan.
However, the person who survived was more miserable than the person who died. Deng Chen and Liu Yuan had a deep relationship. After so many years of marriage, the couple almost never blushed.
But after the war, his wife died, his daughter died, and the whole family was destroyed.
There were many soldiers who had the same experience as Deng Chen. Many of the soldiers went with the army as a family, but in the end, he was the only one who escaped.
Of the more than 3,000 remnants who fled back to Jiyang, almost no one, including Liu Yan, was dishonored. The lighter ones had only two or three wounds, while the severe ones had more than a dozen or twenty wounds. at.
Since the establishment of the Zhutian Capital Tribe, it has never lost a battle, but this first defeat has brought the Zhutian Capital Tribe back to its original shape, causing the Zhutian Capital Tribe to be completely defeated, completely defeated, and almost defeated. completely annihilated.
Is this over?
Of course not! Soon, another bad news reached Jiyang.
While the main force of Zhu Tiandu was defeated in Xiaochang'anju, thousands of county troops commanded by Lu Zhi appeared in Caiyang without anyone noticing, and successfully attacked Caiyang and captured it in one fell swoop.
After the county army captured Caiyang, the first thing they did was massacre the Liu family members, including Liu Xiu's second brother, Liu Zhong's family.
Since Liu Zhong's family were the biological brothers of the rebel leader Liu Yan, even though Liu Zhong's family did not directly participate in the rebellion, they were executed and burned.
