Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Five Villagers Consciousness
Liu Xiu was alone, fighting with many large spearmen. The short-term battle was okay, but he couldn't stand it if the battle lasted for a long time.
As the battle continued, more and more spearmen gathered, and what was even more terrible was that some of them recognized the Chixiao sword used by Liu Xiu.
"That's the Red Sky Sword! It's Liu Xiu's sword!"
"He is Liu Xiu! Liu Xiu is not dead yet! Liu Xiu is still alive!" "Kill Liu Xiu!"
The spearmen screamed endlessly, and the siege against Liu Xiu became more fierce. Feeling that the pressure around him was increasing, Liu Xiu fought and retreated, approaching the fence of a courtyard.
A large spearman wielded a sharp sword and slashed viciously at his head. Liu Xiu raised his sword to parry, bang, he blocked the opponent's edge, bent his arm, and thrust forward, bang, his elbow and arm collided.
In front of the opponent, the big spearman was bleeding from his mouth and nose. He leaned back and was about to stagger back. Liu Xiu took the first step, grabbed his collar, yelled, and threw him backwards. The big spearman's body was sideways.
It flew out, knocking down a piece of the fence and causing people to fall into the yard.
Before he could get up from the ground, Liu Xiu followed him and rushed in along the fence he had knocked open. When he passed by him, he stabbed his sword into the back of his heart.
Immediately afterwards, several large spearmen roared into the courtyard and continued to attack Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu didn't want to fight, so he retreated, crossed the yard, opened the door, and rushed into the house. There was someone in the house, a large spearman was pressing on a village girl, ruthlessly tearing her body apart.
clothing.
He suddenly broke in, causing the violent spearman to freeze instantly.
He didn't make any reaction. Liu Xiu stepped forward and pierced his neck with a sword. Then, he lifted the body of the spearman from the girl's body, shouted and threw it behind him. wavv
Chasing Liu Xiu, a large spearman who followed him into the room was hit by the flying corpse of his companion. He groaned and fell into a ball with the corpse.
The large spearman behind jumped over his companions and rushed into the house. Liu Xiu swung his sword and stabbed forward.
The three lancers who rushed into the house were stabbed to the ground one after another by him. But at this time, the front window of the house was smashed open, and several lancers climbed in through the window.
Without further delay, Liu Xiu took three steps into two steps, rushed to the back window without even opening it, smashed the window, and jumped out.
The gunmen who stormed into the house jumped out of the back window with shouts and screams.
The village girl in the room was shivering and huddled in a corner of the fire bed, her face was pale, and her big, watery eyes were full of tears and fear.
But now no one can care about her. The spearmen are like mad dogs, chasing Liu Xiu. Some people even climb a little slowly through the window, but they are pushed aside by their companions behind them or pulled down.
to the ground.
Liu Xiu jumped out from the back window. There was a vegetable garden here. Before Liu Xiu ran out of the backyard, he saw figures shaking outside the courtyard wall, and many large spearmen appeared. He pursed his lips and stepped forward.
, jumped directly over a meter-high fence, swept out with his sword, and hit a large spearman in the neck. The latter's neck was cut in half by the sword edge, and clouds of blood mist were sprayed out all around.
The large spearmen roared and charged towards Liu Xiu.
"Kill Liu Xiu"
"Kill Liu Xiu"
Liu Xiu secretly gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, raised his sword and faced it. Clink, clank! The weapons of both sides collided continuously with crisp sounds. Liu Xiu kept cutting down the enemies in front of him to the ground while using all his strength to rush forward.
go.
Not long after, Liu Xiu had already killed dozens of enemies behind the house. However, the number of enemies nearby did not decrease. On the contrary, they gathered more and more, as if there was no end. At the same time, people were shouting loudly to kill Liu Xiu.
slogan.
Liu Xiu understood that even if he could kill a few more enemies or even dozens of enemies, he would still be exhausted in the end. During the battle, he took a look at the weak points of the large spearmen and broke out again.
He ran forward along the alley between the courtyards, with a large number of spearmen chasing after him. At this time, Liu Xiu felt very dull.
A tiger falls down and is bullied by dogs, a dragon swims in shallow water and is teased by shrimps. This is the true portrayal of Liu Xiu now.
Liu Xiu led his army and chased the large spear army from Jizhou to Youzhou. He made great progress all the way and won consecutive battles. But now it was better that he was chased by the large spear army and had no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the earth.
This small alley became narrower and narrower as he ran. At the end, a wall blocked the way. It was a dead end. Liu Xiu stood still and panted, looking at the high wall in front of him.
The spearmen who were chasing him followed him and saw clearly that Liu Xiu was running into a dead end, and everyone had smiles on their faces.
"Liu Xiu, you fell off the cliff and didn't fall to death because you were lucky. Today, you can't fly!" A large spearman grinned and shouted loudly at Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu didn't say anything. What he answered was a sword that came in a hurry. It was too fast! The big spearman didn't even react at all. The edge of the Red Sky Sword had already penetrated into his chest.
Kicking the big spearman in the stomach, Liu Xiu took advantage of the situation and drew his sword. Then, he stabbed forward with the sword. The alley was narrow and could only accommodate two people walking side by side. Such a small alley was ideal for the less crowded party.
It is extremely advantageous, but on the contrary, the party with more people is greatly restricted and cannot take advantage of the large number of people at all.
With the height of the wall in the village, how could Liu Xiu be trapped? The reason why Liu Xiu did not choose to escape by jumping over the wall was because he realized that he had a geographical advantage here and could greatly undermine the opponent's advantage of having a large number of people.
The narrow alley makes it impossible for the large number of spearmen to take advantage of the large number of people. Only one or two people can directly face Liu Xiu at a time, and this no longer poses much of a threat to Liu Xiu.
.
Liu Xiu stayed in this small alley and once again started hand-to-hand combat with the spearmen. More and more corpses of the spearmen fell under the Chixiao Sword. As time went by, Liu Xiu had killed twenty people here.
Remaining enemies.
There were layers of corpses on the ground, and scarlet blood flowed like rivers in the corners on both sides of the alley.
Even with the advantage of geographical location, Liu Xiu would be tired and fatigued if he fought so many large spearmen alone without any time to rest or respite.
Liu Xiu felt that the Chixiao Sword in his hand became heavier and heavier, and his lungs seemed to be squeezed into a small ball.
Just when he was considering whether to jump over the wall and escape, suddenly, several arrows flew down from the roofs on both sides of the alley.
These arrows were not aimed at Liu Xiu, but at the spearmen opposite Liu Xiu. Puff, puff, puff! For a moment, several spearmen were hit by arrows and fell to the ground screaming.
Everyone in the alley looked up and saw that the people standing on the roofs on both sides of the alley holding bows and arrows were the villagers of Pingcun. The leader was the usually honest and arrogant Zhao Gui.
In the village, Zhao Gui is a very honest man. When other people have some work and need help, he rushes to do it without saying much.
meal.
He was such a simple and honest villager, but now he had an evil look on his face, aiming at the big gunmen in the alley, and firing arrows continuously.
The villagers of Pingcun make a living by fishing and hunting, and archery is their basic skill for making a living.
Zhao Gui led the hunters in the village. There were not many of them, only a dozen or so, but all of them were sharpshooters, and their arrows were perfect. Every arrow could hit the vital part of the big spearman.
Seeing the villagers launch a counterattack against the spearmen, even though there were only a dozen of them from Zhao Gui, it was enough to boost Liu Xiu's morale.
It was easy for Liu Xiu to run away. The reason why he stayed and fought with the spearmen was, in the final analysis, to do his best to rescue the villagers of Pingcun. However, his strength alone was too limited. How many people could he kill with all his strength?
?
Only when the villagers wake up and organize themselves spontaneously to resist the bandit army can they truly protect themselves and save themselves.
Now the villagers chose to resist instead of being slaughtered. This made Liu Xiu both happy and excited. He cheered up and charged towards the large spearmen on the opposite side with his sword in hand.
The alley is long and narrow, and there is no room to maneuver. Now they have to face Liu Xiu's counterattack head on, and they have to be wary of arrows from the villagers above their heads. The large spearmen chasing into the alley finally began to lose their support and dropped dozens of their weapons.
There were so many corpses that the remaining people fled out of the alley in a hurry.
Outside the alley, a large number of Pingcun villagers also gathered. People had everything, including sticks, axes, kitchen knives, etc. These villagers seemed to have no fighting ability at all, but their momentum intimidated everyone.
Lancer.
Seeing that the villagers who usually ran away when they saw them and trembled with fear at the sight of some blood, now they all picked up their weapons and rushed towards them with serious intentions. The morale of the big gunmen was completely suppressed.
The people retreated step by step at first. As the people got closer and closer, Liu Xiu, who was covered in blood, came after him with the scarier Chixiao Sword. The spearmen did not dare to delay any longer. The people dispersed and turned around.
run.
The spearmen threw away as many as seventy or eighty corpses, and the remaining two hundred or so people all ran out of Pingcun and fled.
Looking at the backs of the spearmen escaping hastily, Liu Xiu let out a long breath, and then he sat down on the ground as if he had collapsed, breathing heavily.
The people in Pingcun gathered around and looked at Liu Xiu carefully.
Liu Xiu looked around at everyone, grinned, and wiped the sweat from his face. His face was already covered in blood, but now it turned into a big painted face.
Zhao Gui stepped forward and handed a handkerchief to Liu Xiu. The latter thanked him, took the handkerchief, and wiped away the sweat and blood on his face.
He looked around and didn't see old Muramasa. He asked, "Brother Zhao, where is your father?"
When he asked, Zhao Gui's eyes turned red and tears rolled down his face. The villagers present also lowered their heads, and many of them sobbed. Upon seeing this, Liu Xiu stood up and asked: "Old villager, is he correct?"
…”
The villagers stepped aside one after another. Liu Xiu looked up and saw several corpses of villagers placed behind the crowd, and Zhao Li's corpse was also among them.
Liu Xiu slowly walked through the crowd and walked to Zhao Li's body. He looked down at the lifeless old man with blood on his face, and his eyes turned red unconsciously.
He and Zhao Li met by chance. Zhao Li didn't even know his true identity. But these days, Zhao Li kept him in his home, hired doctors for him, killed chickens and sheep, and helped him nurse his injuries.
Liu Xiu has kept these in mind one by one, and he is sincerely grateful to this honest and kind-hearted old village leader. But now, he doesn't even have the chance to repay the kindness he received from others. Liu Xiu sheathed his sword.
Sheathed it, and slowly knelt down next to Zhao Li's body.
I don't know how long it took, but Zhao Gui's questioning voice brought Liu Xiu back to his senses, "Jin Zhuangshi, you...are you really Prince Xiao?"
Liu Xiu came back to his senses, looked at Zhao Gui, and then at the other villagers present. He nodded and said, "I am Liu Xiu!"
This sentence caused everyone present to tremble and look shocked.
Who is Liu Xiu? The majestic prince, the lord of Youzhou and Jizhou! People never dreamed that such a big king Xiao could come to their Pingcun.
People were stunned for a moment, and then, including Zhao Li, they all knelt on the ground and said in unison: "The villain pays homage to Prince Xiao!"
