There is fire everywhere outside the south gate, originally for this book burning, a large area has been expanded outside the south city gate, there is no fire within a few zhang of this around, but now it is on fire almost everywhere as far as the eye can see, Meng Tian doesn't know how this place has become like this, and Li You can't find anyone.

"Find Li You for me immediately, and the others will dismount and prepare for battle!" Meng Tian immediately made a decision and ordered the soldiers around him.

Meng Tian unsheathed the Zhengang sword hanging on his horseback and walked towards the nearest warband. When he came here, he found that this group of masked men did not look like ordinary assassins, but as if they had been carefully trained, and the soldiers of the patrol battalion were no match for these people at all. These people knew very well about the squad combat methods that the Qin soldiers were good at, and the soldiers of the patrol battalion were slashed and killed at will by these people as if they were training hands.

At this time, Meng Tian didn't have the heart to think about anything else, he walked towards the few masked people closest to him. The masked men saw someone walking towards them and knew that it might be the arrival of reinforcements from the Qin army, but these people didn't mean to be afraid, but instead brandished their weapons and attacked towards Meng Tian.

As soon as he fought Meng Tian, he felt that something was wrong, these masked people really had some skills, and they didn't seem to be afraid of death at all, a masked man came up and was stabbed in the left arm by Meng Tian with a sword, but this masked man didn't seem to think about it at all, and stabbed Meng Tian in the chest with a backhand sword.

Meng Tian had never seen such a fight, but before he could be attacked by the masked man in his left arm, he then quickly slashed the man's throat and beheaded him in a different place. Several of the masked man's companions did not react to the death of their companions for half a year, and it seemed that they only had Meng Tian as an opponent in their eyes, and they rushed forward even more fearlessly.

These people really have some kung fu in their hands, and a few people attacked Meng Tian without their lives, and they trapped Meng Tian for a while, so that he couldn't go anywhere else.

The personal soldiers who came with Meng Tian wanted to step forward to support, but were stopped by Meng Tian. "Leave me alone, these people are not my opponents yet, you go to Li You and protect him. ”

The soldiers were ordered to go elsewhere to search for Li You's whereabouts.

Several people who besieged Meng Tian fought with Meng Tian with their lifeless strength and some martial arts in their hands. Even if these people are not afraid of death, but their opponent is Meng Tian, and a few of them only trapped Meng Tian for less than half a cup of tea, they were swept by Meng Tian, and the Zhengang sword cut a hole in the necks of several of them, and then several people fell down with a bang.

After eliminating these people, Meng Tian walked away, bypassing a fire, he found that several soldiers were actually pulling things out of the fire with the halberd of a patrol battalion soldier who had died in battle, and at their feet were a few rolls of bamboo slips that had not yet been burned by the fire. They saw a man with a sword covered in blood walking towards them, and several people were so frightened that they quickly stopped picking up the book, picked up the weapon next to them, and looked at this person vigilantly.

Meng Tian knew that these were a few scholars, and they might just want to save some books. Meng Tian glanced at these people, and originally wanted to leave, but he still said to a few people: "I don't care if you want to save the book, and I don't want to care about you." It's just that this book burning is an order from His Majesty, I advise you not to stay here anymore, and leave quickly, if you are discovered by the Xiaoqi battalion who dares to come, it will be too late for you to leave when you want to. ”

As Meng Tian expected, these people were indeed scholars in Xianyang City, and they were just here today to see the burning of books, and when a group of masked people appeared to fight with the patrol battalion, they knew that their opportunity had come, and they took advantage of the fire when no one cared about them, sneaked into the fire, and pulled out some intact bamboo slips in a mountain of books that had not yet been burned, but they didn't expect to be discovered.

Seeing that the bloodied man with his sword let him go, the man with the halberd plucked up his courage and said, "No, we still have books here, and I will not leave until I find them." ”

One of them spoke, and the others were a little bolder, and they all responded to the man who was talking.

Meng Tian shook his head, these people are not stupid to read their minds, or since they are willing to continue to stay here, then stay here, he doesn't have the time to deal with these people now. "Whatever you want. After Meng Tian finished speaking, he took his sword and walked away.

"Why does that person look like the great general Meng Tian?" After Meng Tian left, a scholar came back to his senses, and he looked at the man with the sword as if he was a little familiar.

Meng Tian was a big man in Xianyang City, but he rarely appeared in front of the people, because he was rarely at home, usually when he was in the upper and lower courts, riding horses and walking on the streets, and everyone could see Meng Tian.

Another scholar spoke: "What do you mean by what it seems to be, that is." There was blood on his face that I couldn't see clearly, but I recognized the sword in his hand, which was mentioned in the "History of Yue", which was the true sword among the eight swords made by Goujian, the king of Yue. Since that person is holding the Zhengang Sword, then he must be Meng Tian is good. ”3800

"Then we can't find any books, I'm afraid that the Xiaoqi Camp will really come by then, and we won't be able to leave if we want to. Another said.

"What are you afraid of, okay, don't say any more, let's hurry up and leave. At first, the man with the halberd in his hand said to his three companions.

There was another shout of killing in front of him, and Meng Tian walked forward quickly, and found dozens of masked men besieging a patrol battalion of soldiers in front of him. Although the masked men were numerous, the patrol battalion was not bad, and they fought back and forth. The masked man knew a lot about the attack method of the patrol battalion, but because the Qin State crossbow in the hands of the patrol battalion soldiers was a bit powerful, often several people fired a salvo, and the masked man would fall down one or two people.

Meng Tian stepped forward quickly, and while a few masked people were not paying attention, he directly swung his sword to eliminate the masked man in front of him from behind, and killed him into the masked man encirclement.

"Teacher, it's you, why are you here?" Li You said loudly and happily when he saw his teacher come in.

Meng Tian also discovered Li You, he knew why these patrol battalion soldiers were able to resist the attack of the masked people, with Li You's command, the patrol battalion's offensive and defensive coordination was seamless, so that these masked men did not take advantage of it for the time being.

Meng Tian was also very happy to find Li You, but when he saw an arrow wound in Li You's chest, he asked, "What's the matter, it doesn't matter to you, right?"

Li You shook his head, although he pretended to be very good, his pale face and the beads of sweat on his forehead had betrayed him. "It's not in the way, it's just that when these people first started attacking, they didn't know where to shoot a cold arrow, and I didn't notice that I was shot for a while. Fortunately, nothing is a big deal. ”

"Nonsense, didn't I tell you, something big may happen today, why did you only arrange so few people here. Although he felt sorry for Li You, Meng Tian still couldn't help but blame, he had already sent someone to warn him, but he didn't expect it to be like this. "You have a good rest first, the Xiao Cavalry Camp will be there soon, and when the Xiao Cavalry Camp arrives, these people will be over. ”

Li You nodded, and sat on the ground with the support of a soldier, he finally persevered until Meng Tian arrived, otherwise he might really die here today.

With Meng Tian's arrival, the battle changed from a balance of power between the two sides to a one-sided posture of the patrol battalion on Meng Tian's side, the masked man's attack was interrupted, and the soldiers of the patrol battalion also began to launch a counterattack against the masked man. However, just as Meng Tian led the soldiers of the patrol battalion to repel the masked men who surrounded them, a sharp and long howl suddenly came from the west side of the fire, and after this scream came, the masked men who had begun to retreat became as if they had taken some kind of tonic medicine, and they came up again, and the masked people in other parts of the fire ground also began to surround here.

Meng Tian understood that this group of masked men had been deliberately arranged, and now he wanted to eliminate himself here while he was alone.

Sure enough, more and more masked people came here, and it seemed that all the masked people who were still alive had come here, making Meng Tian and Li You and the soldiers of the other patrol battalions fall into despair again when they felt that hope had come. This time, the masked people who surrounded again did not pay attention to strategic tactics such as siege as before, and this time it was a crazy attack that was almost fatal, and after just a few breaths, dozens of soldiers of the patrol battalion were killed and wounded, and the rest was less than twenty people, and almost all of them were wounded, and even Li You, who was originally sitting in recuperation, had to stand up again and fight the enemy with the teacher and his own men.

"Driving~~" A rapid sound of horses' hooves came, Meng Tian couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard it, and the Xiaoqi battalion finally arrived.

It was the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and the leader of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion was also an acquaintance of Meng Tian, Zhou Zhe who had followed his grandfather and father. After Zhou Zhe received Meng Tian's order, he ordered all the soldiers of the Xiaocai Battalion to rush to the south gate of Xianyang City, except for a part of the camp that stayed in the camp, but fortunately, they finally arrived here in time.

Riding on a horse and seeing Meng Tian surrounded, Zhou Zhe gave an order: "Kill!" The horses of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion began to charge and launched an attack on the masked man.

The speed of the Xiao cavalry camp is very fast, but the terrain here is not very favorable to them, and because of the fire, the war horse is a little afraid, so the masked man is given time to deal with it, and when the war horse rushes over, many masked people actually grabbed a burning bamboo slip with their bare hands and threw it towards the cavalry of the Xiao cavalry battalion rushing over. The bamboo slip was not heavy, but the person who threw it already had some strength, and it was still burning, so it smashed a soldier of the cavalry battalion who rushed in front of him off his horse.

"Everyone, get off your horse and fight!" Zhou Zhe also saw that the terrain was unfavorable, and immediately ordered.
