Chapter two hundred and eighty sixth battle to the death
Zhang Xun heard Liu Xiu's shouts in the midst of the siege. Without thinking, he looked for the direction from which the shouts came and rushed towards him.
Under the desperate efforts of many soldiers around him to break through, Zhang Xuan and others finally broke through a bloody road and joined Liu Xiu and Zhu You.
Seeing them, Zhang Xuan was surprised and said: "General Liu, why are you here?"
"Let's break out first!" Liu Xiu didn't have time to explain, so he joined forces with Zhang Xuan and others to break out.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a shout from behind. Liu Xiu turned around and saw a general rushing out from the county army. He had a silver helmet on his head, wearing silver armor, and a three-pointed two-edged sword in his hand. It was not Cen Peng. Or who?
The soldiers near Zhang Xuan separated into more than a dozen people, trying to block Cen Peng's approach.
However, they rushed up quickly and fell down even faster. In front of Cen Peng's three-pointed two-edged sword, the dozen soldiers were like paper. In an instant, they were swept to the ground and could no longer stand. Can't get up.
When Zhang Xun saw this, he was so frightened that a chill ran down his spine, and his hand that picked up the weapon trembled. Liu Xiu's eyes widened and he shouted: "Fight him together!" As he spoke, he urged his horse to meet him.
What Liu Xiu didn't expect was that Zhang Xun ignored him at all, urging his horse to run forward. On the contrary, many of Zhang Xun's soldiers stayed behind to help Liu Xiu fend off the surroundings. The county army rushed over.
Damn it! Seeing that Zhang Xuan was so cowardly and greedy for life and afraid of death, Liu Xiu cursed in his heart, but at this time, he could not go back to settle the score with him.
Whoosh!
Cen Peng's three-pointed two-edged sword went straight to his chest and stabbed him in the chest. Liu Xiu used a spear in his hand, which he snatched from the soldiers of the county army. He swung the spear outward hard, and at the same time, he moved towards side.
Sha! His spear hit the three-pointed two-edged sword, but it did not cause the blade's trajectory to deviate too far. If he hadn't turned sideways at the same time, Cen Peng's sword would still have stabbed him.
After all, the shaft of the spear is made of wood and is too light. It may be able to deflect the broadsword of an ordinary general, but it will definitely not be able to deflect Cen Peng's sword.
Liu Xiu had already been mentally prepared for this, so while blocking the knife, he deliberately turned to the side.
The sharp edge of the three-pointed two-edged knife passed against Liu Xiu's chest, opening a long opening in his chest.
As the two horses crossed each other, Cen Peng said in a solemn voice: "Liu Xiu!" As he spoke, his long knife swept forward sideways and hit Liu Xiu's waist.
Liu Xiu only had a spear in his hand, and he couldn't block the sword no matter what.
But just when the blade was about to cut into Liu Xiu's stomach, there was a crisp clang and a burst of sparks. Cen Peng put away the knife and looked back. It turned out that Liu Xiu had pulled out the sword from under his ribs and blocked him. This is a sure win.
Cen Peng turned the horse's head, shouted angrily, and rushed towards Liu Xiu again with his knife. At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves behind him, and a strong wind hit the back of his head. Without even thinking, Cen Peng struck Liu Xiu. The knife in his hand was held back.
Bang!
Zhu You's sword struck hard on the shaft of the three-pointed two-edged sword, and a huge ball of sparks shot out.
Liu Xiu turned his horse, turned around and charged towards Cen Peng. He held a sword in one hand and a spear in the other. The spear first struck Cen Peng's lower abdomen, and the sword in his hand swept across his neck.
Cen Peng snorted coldly, his buttocks lifted off the saddle, and his whole body turned to the left side of the war horse. Liu Xiu's spears and swords were all missed. Then, Cen Peng sat back on the horse and returned the saber with one strike. He slashed Liu Xiu's back.
Liu Xiu turned around and blocked with his sword. BANG! This powerful and heavy sword knocked Liu Xiu off his horse and fell to the ground with a thud.
As soon as he landed, a county soldier rushed towards him and was about to stab him with a spear. Liu Xiu lay on the ground and shot the spear first, hitting the opponent's chest.
He took the opportunity to stand up, shouted, put his spear against the soldier's body, and pushed forward. Poof! The spearhead penetrated his body and pierced the chest of a county soldier who rushed up from behind.
A spear pierced both of them, and Liu Xiu bent down fiercely.
Whoa! The three-pointed, two-edged sword that struck diagonally passed over his head. Before Cen Peng's horse could run past him, he let out a loud shout and pushed his spear back with force.
The spear with two corpses of county soldiers still hanging on it hit the hind legs of Cen Peng's war horse. The war horse let out a strange cry, its two hind legs bent, and fell to its knees. Cen Peng was also lifted off the horse. .
Cen Peng climbed up from the ground and looked into Liu Xiu's eyes, which were about to burst into flames. He held a three-pointed two-edged knife, swung his legs and walked straight towards Liu Xiu.
Zhu You urged his horse to rush towards Cen Peng and slashed his head with his sword. Cen Peng's forward body paused and raised his sword to parry. Cang! Zhu You's sword struck the shaft of the sword and bounced up very high.
Cen Peng flipped his wrist and stabbed the three-pointed two-edged knife towards the ground. Then, holding the knife in one hand, he jumped up and kicked out two consecutive kicks in the air.
His first kick was on Zhu You's arm, knocking Zhu You off the horse. His second kick was on the horse. The two to three hundred kilograms of war horse received a kick from Cen Peng. Finally, he staggered out several steps and fell to the ground with a thud.
Zhu You got up from the ground in disgrace, and swept the sword around him.
sand--
Several county soldiers who rushed up were swept to the ground by the sword. Zhu You roared angrily and ran towards Cen Peng with his sword. On the other side, Liu Xiu also came up with his sword.
After Cen Peng landed, he pulled out the three-pointed two-edged sword that was stuck on the ground, and monopolized Liu Xiu and Zhu You with his own strength.
In Liu Xiu's eyes, Cen Peng is a stubborn and stubborn person. Nanyang County is gone, and all the counties in Nanyang County have defected to the Han army. Only Cen Peng, who occupies Wancheng, insists on Fight to the death with the Han army.
Although he was angry and hated Cen Peng, Liu Xiu had to admit that Cen Peng was really powerful! This martial arts skill was completely inferior to that of Ma Wu. With the sword in his hand, he can bravely defeat the three armies.
Liu Xiu and Zhu You fought against Cen Peng alone, but it was difficult for them to gain the upper hand. Of course, this was also because there were too many county troops around, and they attacked and killed each other from time to time, so they had to be distracted.
The two sides fought for more than 20 rounds, and there was no difference between them. More than a dozen county soldiers fell around the battlefield. Liu Xiu glanced around and saw that the remaining soldiers of Zhang Xuan were now less than 20, and all of them were covered in blood. It's hurt.
On the other hand, the county army was surrounded by huge crowds of people.
As soon as Liu Xiu was distracted, Cen Peng's knife stabbed him in front of him. Liu Xiu hurriedly dodged sideways, but was still a little slow, and his left arm was immediately cut open by the blade.
Seeing that Liu Xiu was injured, Zhu You roared and stepped up his offensive. The sword flew up and down in his hand, never leaving Cen Peng's vitals.
Cen Peng did not panic and responded calmly. He blocked Zhu You's swords more than ten times in a row. When Zhu You's front strength was exhausted and his rear strength was insufficient, he suddenly attacked and took Zhu You's head with the first sword. Zhu You had no choice but to do so. , retreat and dodge.
The second knife hit Zhu You's chest. The latter dodged backwards again. The third knife slashed across the waist. It was too fast and the attack was too fierce. Zhu You did not dare to block its edge, so he retreated and dodged again.
Cen Peng struck with three swords and forced Zhu You to retreat several steps. At this time, behind him and close to him were densely packed county troops.
When the soldiers of the county army saw that Zhu You was retreating in front of them, how could they miss this opportunity? In one moment, at least seven or eight spears stabbed Zhu You in the back.
Hearing that the evil wind behind him was not good, Zhu You had no time to think about it, and his body immediately rolled to the side. The nearby soldiers of the county army stabbed Zhu You with their spears at Zhu You who was rolling on the ground.
When Cen Peng was about to chase him, Liu Xiu attacked him from behind. The two then fought together.
However, in just this moment, almost all of Zhang Xuan's personal soldiers, numbering less than twenty, were killed by the county troops and fell to the ground.
Without the obstruction of these soldiers, the soldiers of the county army swarmed forward and cooperated with Cen Peng to launch a siege on Liu Xiu and Zhu You.
Liu Xiu and Zhu You finally met each other from the rebel army. At this time, these two brothers and sisters were covered with large and small bloody wounds.
The two of them stood back to back and looked around at the crowds of county soldiers, feeling a sense of powerlessness in their hearts.
There are too many enemy troops. Even if they are covered in iron, how many nails can they crush?
Cen Peng raised the three-pointed two-edged sword in his hand. The county troops who were about to attack Liu Xiu and Zhu You stopped their attacks one after another. They looked at Liu Xiu and Zhu You angrily, wishing to tear them alive. Similar.
"Uncle Liu Wen, Zhu Zhongxian! You two have been trapped in a tight siege and can't fly. Now that you are trapped, you may still have a chance to survive!" Cen Peng stared at Liu Xiu intently as he spoke.
In fact, it was difficult for him to understand.
Logically speaking, Liu Xiu is Liu Yan's younger brother, and his status in the rebel army should be higher than Zhang Xun's. But now that he has rescued Zhang Xun, he himself has fallen into it. Cen Peng can't understand it. What exactly was Liu Xiu thinking?
In fact, Liu Xiu's thinking was very simple. He, Zhu You, and Zhang Xian could work together to defeat Cen Peng. As long as Cen Peng was gone, the other county soldiers would not be a concern at all.
But Zhang Yan ran faster than a rabbit and ignored him and Zhu You. He really used them as stepping stones.
Liu Xiu gasped for breath, slowly raised the Chixiao Sword in his hand, pointed at Cen Peng, and said: "Cen Peng, you and I haven't decided the winner yet, come out and fight again!"
Cen Peng sneered. Liu Xiu's force was good, but it was impossible to defeat him. He reminded him word by word: "Liu Xiu, I am giving you a chance to live now."
"Cen Peng, don't you dare to come out and fight me?" Liu Xiu would rather die in battle than surrender. He couldn't afford to lose this person, his elder brother couldn't afford to lose this person, and the entire Liu family could not afford to lose him. I can't afford to lose this person.
Seeing the determination in Liu Xiu's eyes, Cen Peng nodded and said with a sneer: "Since you are seeking death, I will help you!" As he spoke, Cen Peng walked step by step from the crowd of county soldiers with a long knife in hand. come out.
Zhu You turned around and was about to meet him when Liu Xiu grabbed his arm, shook his head slightly and whispered: "If you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about having no firewood. Ayou, find a way to survive!" "
He had no choice but to fight to the death, but Zhu You was different. He was not from the Liu family or a relative of the Liu family. He had every chance of surviving.
Zhu You's heart trembled, he looked straight at Liu Xiu, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord..."
Liu Xiu grabbed his arm and squeezed it hard, then nodded and smiled at Zhu You.
Then he turned to look at Cen Peng, the smile on his face disappeared, his eyes flashed with a terrifying cold light, and he walked towards Cen Peng with his sword in hand.
At this moment, the duel between Liu Xiu and Cen Peng is completely a battle to the death, either you die or I die.
Before the war started, Liu Xiu had no hope of surviving. Even if he could defeat Cen Peng by luck, he would not be able to defeat so many enemy troops around him.
