The two sides met at the corner of the alley. Liu Xiu took the lead and swung out his sword. Only after he slashed the sword did he see clearly that the people running out of the corner were not rebels, but were wearing red military uniforms and black leather.
A's county soldier.
Liu Xiu hurriedly raised the arm holding the sword as high as possible, and heard a click in his ear. The Chixiao sword passed over the county soldier's head and struck the wall above his head, making a crisp sound.
The county soldier on the opposite side was so frightened that he screamed and stabbed Liu Xiu with his spear instinctively. Liu Xiu dodged to the side. Before the opponent could retract his spear and attack again, Liu Xiu grabbed the spear shaft and said in a deep voice: "
Are you county soldiers? I am not a bandit army!"
Hearing this, the county soldiers who had been preparing to attack him all stopped and looked at Liu Xiu in surprise.
Liu Xiu glanced at each other. There were more than 20 county soldiers, all dressed as county soldiers, but all of them were in a mess, with their helmets crooked and covered in blood.
A county soldier asked: "Who are you?"
Liu Xiu casually replied: "Businessmen passing by the county." After speaking, he pointed back to the direction he came from and kindly reminded: "Don't go over there, there are bandits over there!" After speaking,
He then wanted to cross the county soldiers.
The county soldiers stopped him one after another and said with furrowed brows: "There are rebels behind us too!"
Liu Xiu looked at Fu An, Long Yuan and others, and said in a deep voice: "I can't control that much anymore, just kill them!" As he spoke, he ignored the obstruction of the county soldiers and ran forward with his sword.
Seeing Liu Xiu and others passing by and running towards the way they came, the county soldiers looked at each other and didn't know what to do. One of the county soldier captains said: "No matter what, you will die, follow them!"
"
The county soldiers didn't know who Liu Xiu and the others were, and they couldn't even tell whether they were rebels or not. Now the city was completely in disarray, and it was difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.
However, seeing that Liu Xiu and others had no ill intentions towards us, and seemed to be very skilled, the county soldier captain instinctively felt that we should keep up with them.
Liu Xiu and others ran forward not far away, and they met a group of thieves as expected. Fortunately, the number of these thieves was not large, only about thirty or forty people.
The two sides met in a narrow alley. They met on a narrow road. There was nothing to say. The two sides met and fought together. Liu Xiu took the lead in charging forward with his sword. The three oncoming spears all stabbed him.
Come.
Liu Xiu jumped up and touched the wall with one foot. He jumped up to a height of more than half a meter and jumped directly over the heads of the three thieves. When he fell into the crowd, he held the sword in both hands and brought it down with one strike.
.
One of the bandits subconsciously raised his spear to parry.
How could a spear shaft made of wood withstand the heavy blow of the Scarlet Sky Sword? With a click, the spear broke, and the edge of the Scarlet Sky Sword remained unabated, cutting off half of the opponent's head while standing.
Another thief came forward with a roar and stabbed Liu Xiu in the face with a spear. Liu Xiu dodged sideways and pulled the opponent's spear back. The sharp edge of the spear just hit the thief behind him in the face.
Door.
At the same time, he swung his sword forward and cut off the neck of the enemy on the opposite side.
It was too late, but it was too late. Liu Xiu killed three enemies in a row as soon as he came up, followed closely by Fu Zhan, Long Yuan and others, who also made no concessions.
Everyone rushed into the bandit army, just like tigers entering a flock of sheep. More than thirty bandit soldiers were killed by them as they passed by.
When the county soldiers who followed behind saw this, they were all stunned and looked at Liu Xiu and others with different eyes. Seeing that Liu Xiu and others were about to continue running forward, the captain of the county soldiers took the lead to catch up and said
: "Several strong men!" wavv
Liu Xiu turned around and looked at the county soldier captain who was walking quickly, and asked, "What's the matter, Your Excellency?"
The county soldier captain asked: "I wonder where these brave men are going?"
"My wife is at the Xitang Inn in the west of the city!"
"Xitang Inn in the west of the city..." the county soldier captain muttered, his eyes lit up, and he said: "The number of thieves in the west of the city should not be large. We can help a few warriors!"
Liu Xiu said seriously: "When we passed by the county government, we found that a fierce battle was going on there. Most of the county soldiers had retreated to the county government!"
The captain of the county soldiers smiled bitterly and said: "Those of us who want to enter the county government and join the county magistrate now, I'm afraid we have no chance!"
The twenty or so of them were probably cut into pieces by the huge crowd of thieves before they reached the county government.
Liu Xiu didn't have time to say anything more. He just said: "You can follow if you want, but you have to seek self-protection. We can't protect you during a fight!"
After speaking, he shook his head to Fu Zhan, Long Yuan and others and continued to run forward. The county soldiers followed closely behind and ran forward together.
Now, the west side of the city is full of thieves. The thieves entering the city are like wild beasts with red eyes. They kill everyone they see and rob things they see.
On the street, you can see the corpses of ordinary people from time to time. Most of the houses on both sides of the street have their doors wide open. Looking inside, you can see corpses in some houses, and some houses are still emitting bursts of noise.
A series of screams.
Liu Xiu and others ran all the way, killing the bandits they encountered along the way. When they reached the west of the city, the number of county soldiers following Liu Xiu and others had increased from more than 20 to hundreds.
Some of these county soldiers were rescued from the rebels by Liu Xiu and his party, while others were hiding in the dark and ran out after seeing Liu Xiu and his party.
The county soldiers who joined later had no idea who Liu Xiu and others were and thought they were all county officials.
The county soldiers who followed Liu Xiu and the others didn't say much. Anyway, now they could see that these people's martial arts were all top-notch masters. There would definitely be nothing wrong with following them.
When Liu Xiu and his party approached the Xitang Inn, the number of bandits in this area gradually increased.
Long Yuan climbed onto the wall of the alley, then followed the wall to the roof. He lay down on the roof, looked towards the Xitang Inn for a moment, and then jumped back into the alley.
He came to Liu Xiu and said excitedly: "Sir, the Xitang Inn is being surrounded by bandits, and fighting is still happening inside!"
The situation in Xitang Inn is not optimistic, but this not optimistic situation just shows that Yin Lihua and others in the inn have not fallen into the hands of the bandit army.
Liu Xiu's eyes shone brightly and he asked: "How many people are there in the bandit army?"
"There must be at least hundreds of people!"
Liu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said: "Let's go around to the side of the inn first and attack from the flank!"
The inn where Yin Lihua and others were accommodated was selected by Liu Xiu himself, and he was also very familiar with the environment around the inn.
Fu Zhan, Long Yuan and others had no objections and nodded one after another. The county soldier captain took two steps closer to Liu Xiu and said seriously: "Young Master, we can also help you!"
Liu Xiu looked at the captain of the county army. He bowed his hand to his kindness and said, "This time I have to fight against so many enemies. It is completely my private matter. You don't have to participate."
The captain of the county army smiled bitterly and said: "It is the responsibility of our county soldiers to kill the rebels and protect the people in the city. How can there be any distinction between public and private now?!"
Liu Xiu nodded and looked at the county soldier captain with a hint of admiration. He led a group of others and quietly walked around to the alley on the side of the inn.
He raised his eyes and looked out. At the end of the alley, they were all surrounded by rebels. Liu Xiu squinted his eyes, swung the Red Sky Sword forward, and took the lead in rushing forward.
When he was only a dozen steps away from the bandits, the bandits heard the footsteps coming from behind. When people looked back, they first saw Liu Xiu leading the way, and then saw Liu Xiu behind him.
County soldiers.
The bandits all exclaimed: "There are enemy troops." As they spoke, several bandits raised their crossbows and prepared to release arrows. Liu Xiu had already stepped in front of several of them, and the Chixiao Sword drew a red glow.
Several people's necks flashed past.
Poof, poof, poof! Several thieves' throats were cut open by sharp blades, and blood arrows spurted out, and they fell to the ground.
The rebels on the left and right swarmed towards Liu Xiu. Before Liu Xiu could take action, Fu Zhan, Long Yuan and others had already blocked the rebels.
As streaks of cold light suddenly appeared, the bandits who came up fell to the ground one after another.
Not long after, more than a hundred county soldiers rushed up and joined in the melee with the rebels. Long Bu pulled himself out from the melee, went to the bottom of the courtyard wall, took out the flying claw from the package, and threw it to the top of the wall.
Click! The flying claws clasped the inside edge of the wall. Long Bu pulled hard. It felt very firm. He turned his head and shouted: "Master!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiu ran over quickly, grabbed the rope with one hand, kicked hard on the wall with both feet, and jumped to the top of the courtyard wall.
Fu An followed closely and jumped up. Long Yuan, Long Zhun, Long Bo and all the county soldiers worked together to kill the nearby bandits and then took advantage of the opportunity to climb up the wall one after another.
They entered the inn, and there were also rebels inside. The rebels in the inn all came from the main entrance. Liu Xiu and others had nothing to say, so they could only fight again.
Xitang Inn is very large, with over a hundred rooms, making it the largest inn in the city.
Liu Xiu and others entered from the side of the inn. The number of bandit troops here was not large. When they entered the backyard of the inn, it was like they had stabbed a hornet's nest. The place was completely dark and filled with bandits.
Fu An looked at Liu Xiu, who was sweating profusely from exhaustion and out of breath. He held a dagger, took over Liu Xiu's position, and took the lead in attacking forward. Fu An's moves were not those of wide open and close.
, but takes a fast, accurate and ruthless route, and is known for being cunning and vicious.
People in the Jianghu are not suitable for fighting between two armies, and are more suitable for fighting alone. But now there is nothing suitable or unsuitable. Forced by the situation, I can only bite the bullet and rush forward.
With Fu An taking the lead and rushing to the center of the backyard, it would be difficult to push forward any further.
The people on the opposite side are all densely packed with thieves. There is no room to roam, no room to maneuver, and even the most exquisite body skills cannot be used at all. This is a taboo for people in the world.
When it comes to fighting alone, with Fu An's superb martial arts, even Yaoqi and Ma Wu may not be his opponent, but in the current situation, Fu An's role is very small, far from it.
In the Qi period, warriors like Ma Wu and others were so big.
Therefore, no matter how powerful the people in the martial arts world are, even if they are swordsman-level masters, they are still more suitable to be assassins, but they are not suitable to lead troops in battles, or even to be generals who charge into battle.
Seeing that Fu An's performance was greatly limited, Liu Xiu stepped forward with his sword again and replaced Fu An behind him. He held the sword and fought with the oncoming enemy.
