Chapter 131: Escape
Thousands of Chu troops responded in unison, and a huge sound wave came from a distance, intertwined into an invisible sound curtain, which disappeared into the night in an instant, setting off a burst of echoes. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"Long live the Overlord!"
"Long live the Overlord!"
The sound wave is still oscillating. Suddenly, a flash of lightning pierced the sky, illuminating everyone near and far, and another thunderclap covered all the sounds in the city.
The deafening sound of horses' hooves ran through the streets and alleys not far away, and several war horses of the Chu army could be vaguely seen speeding past in the distance, and in an instant they disappeared into the vast darkness of the rain and lightning.
From time to time, on a certain street corner, there was a terrible scream, the defense line of the Beifu army had shrunk into the lanes, and the sound of battle came one after another, bringing a haze and chaos to the whole city.
Bloodshed, killing, death...... In a short period of time, it has become the main theme of the city, and the blood is still dyed red under the heavy rain, and it is still dyed red, and it is merged into a turbulent torrent, which flows into the canal.
At this time, the whole city was already in chaos, and there were many different teams everywhere, trying to escape from the fallen city in different directions.
Everywhere you can see some people running around, most of the more orderly are some wealthy merchants and gentry, as well as some family lords, carrying a large amount of wealth, such as silver tickets, deeds, gold and silver property. On the pier of the canal, boxes are piled up, and it is a spectacular sight.
These people did not dare to continue to stay in the city and fell into the hands of the Chu army bandits. As early as a month ago, news had already come from Zhejiang, and every time Xiang Yu's army went to the city, almost all the landlords, gentry, and official families were slaughtered cleanly. Even if there is a living mouth, it is an unspeakable humiliation. For this point, there is a battle report that can be summed up very clearly: Xiang Yu asked people to hold a long knife to the city gate, and drove the officials in the city to come out naked, and more than 2,000 people died. Then he burned the government offices next to the city, and it was wiped out within six gates.
And even the poor people were extremely frightened, and they also heard Xiang Yu's slogan: After the city is broken, there will be no military discipline to loot for a day. In this era, this is undoubtedly an order to slaughter the city, and if you are left alone in such a situation, who can guarantee that you will not be killed by those chaotic armies like pigs and sheep.
At this time, Zhou Ning and Kou Zhong were walking quickly in the middle of the fleeing crowd, surrounded by almost some wealthy businessmen, he glanced at it, and there was no Xie Valve.
He had suffered a few minor injuries in the previous series of battles, but they had all been bandaged and were fine, except for the unreality of being in a nightmare, there were only a few wounds on his body, and under the heavy rain, there was a faint trace of pain.
In the distance, they also heard Xiang Yu's voice as cold as steel.
"The officers and men of the Chu army listened to the order. After the city is broken, there is no military discipline to loot for a day, if you kill Zhou Ning and offer his head, he will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, and the official will be promoted to three levels! If anyone is captured, there is another reward. ”
Kou Zhong was shocked when he heard this, and set his eyes on Zhou Ning.
"Big brother, that birdman is probably determined to take your life, his grandmother's mother, it's really funny! Just a few months ago, Xiaoling and I were still being bullied by the birdman who had no ability at all, and now we are facing big masters like Sun En and Xiang Birdman, what should we do now? ”
Zhou Ning raised his face, let the pouring rain pour on his face, and said with a sigh: "Today's situation is unforgiving, so we can only follow the first move of Zhou Zi's Art of War and slip away!" Let's go back to the south gate first, find Xiaoling and Xiaoyu, and think of a way to break through, if we can escape Xiang Yu's pursuit this time, one day it will be our turn to hunt down Xiang Yu. ”
Kou Zhong laughed and said: "When it comes to success or failure, I can't be as free and easy as my eldest brother, it seems that I am destined to be a layman, ha!" ”
In the thunderstorm and lightning, Zhou Ning and Kou Zhong's clothes were soaked, and they looked at each other and smiled, indescribably heroic.
The lightning cracked the sky, illuminating the sky and the earth white, and at this moment, the two of them stood still with a look of astonishment on their faces.
In front of the long street full of wind and rain, two figures appeared, one of them squinted, his face was handsome, and his face showed a resentful look, it was Xiang Zhuang, the first swordsman in Western Chu, and the other was tall and mighty, with a bearded face, Zhou Ning had never seen it before, but with his body shape and bearing, he could detect that this person's skill was not inferior to Xiang Zhuang.
The pursuers are finally here.
…………
The chaotic crowd scattered in the distance, leaving behind a long street that had fallen silent under the night rain.
The bearded young man beside Xiang Zhuang laughed and said, "Xiang Zhuang, you just lost in the hands of this person?" You're not as good as you say. ”
Xiang Zhuang snorted coldly, looked at Zhou Ning noncommittally, and reached out to reach for the hilt of the sword on his waist.
The bearded young man was bored, slightly basked, didn't care, took out his spear and pointed at Zhou Ning: "Chu Renlong, please teach the two of you." ”
Zhou Ning also pulled out his knife and pointed at the two people in front of him: "You don't have to say polite words, you can fight if you want to." ”
The sound of breaking wind and the sound of horses' hooves could be heard faintly from the streets and alleys in the distance.
Zhou Ning and Kou Zhong exchanged glances with each other, and they both knew that it was a master from the Western Chu side.
It's just that Long Ji and Xiang Zhuang have taught them that it is difficult to deal with, and if they fall into the siege of the masters of Western Chu, they will definitely die here.
"Find a way to escape!" Zhou Ning whispered in Kou Zhong's ear. Kou Zhong nodded imperceptibly.
Attention has been decided, Zhou Ning's long knife came out of its sheath and rushed towards the dragon.
Kou Zhong also did the same, the long knife in his hand turned into a sharp man, broke through the wind and rain, and slashed towards Xiang Zhuang.
Zhou Ning's knife is Zhong Lifu's "Thunder Knife Technique", which contains a violent spiral energy, and the dense rain curtain seems to have been cut off by this knife, and the momentum is amazing.
Kou Zhong was a little slower than Zhou Ning, and when Xiang Zhuang looked at him, he also slashed out with all his strength and slashed at this world-famous first-class swordsman.
Long Jishang encountered spiral strength for the first time, and was slightly stunned, and then suddenly shouted: "Good move!" A turn, peeking into the gap in Zhou Ning's knife technique, rose up, and the spear was like a spirit snake out of the hole, stabbing out along an extremely strange arc.
"Boom!"
A bolt of lightning struck not far away, and the thunder rumbled, and the whole silent long street was as bright as day in an instant.
In just a moment, the opponent's spear had already pierced Zhou Ning's knife curtain and reached in front of him.
Zhou Ning's face became serious, this person's skill is still above Zhong Lifu, and his moves are even more exquisite, the shot just now is like an antelope hanging on its horns, forcing him to return to the knife to defend himself.
In the quiet of the night, there was a clear sound of "ding".
Long Ji and Zhou Ning exchanged swords and guns, showing the equal strength of the two sides. Long obviously underestimated the power of the spiral energy, and with his skills, he was also embarrassed and fell back.
On the other side, Xiang Zhuang and Kou Zhong also exchanged a few moves in mid-air, and Kou Zhong fell to the ground with a pale face, spurting out a mouthful of blood.
Xiang Zhuang was still about to pursue, Zhou Ning's face turned pale, he took a sharp breath, and popped out on the alley wall, and swept straight towards the place where Kou Zhong and Xiang Zhuang were fighting.
The long knife in his hand slashed down violently, taking Xiang Zhuang's shoulder.
"Big brother is here!"
Kou Zhong's back touched the ground, the longevity technique had been exercised all over his body, and his vitality quietly recovered. The left hand lightly pressed the ground, and bounced up with strength, and the long knife in his hand swept towards Xiang Zhuang, with an indescribable momentum like a rainbow.
Xiang Zhuang didn't expect Zhou Ning to suddenly abandon Long He, and join forces with Kou Zhong to besiege him, the long sword was halfway to the hand, and he took it back stiffly, raised his breath, jumped over Kou Zhong's waist and swept away, and the purple gang whirlwind flew and suddenly slammed towards Zhou Ning's long knife.
At the same time, Long Ji also pounced, the spear in his hand poked out, and stabbed at Zhou Ning's vest with strength.
At this moment, the four of them intrigued, and the strange tricks came out one after another, which was indescribably thrilling.
Zhou Ning and Kou Zhong glanced at each other and said with a smile: "Brother Long has been tricked!" ”
He retracted his sword momentum, turning from a downward slash to a sweep, and at the same time, his body spun to the ground, sweeping to the left, but the target was Longji.
Kou Zhong also understood, and by pressing lightly on the ground to rebound, he slashed towards the dragon with the wind and rain.
The dragon didn't expect their opponent to be himself, and with an extremely frightened look on his face, he let out a loud cry and dodged.
At this moment, Xiang Zhuang's figure suddenly stopped, and his face was happy: "Overlord!" ”
The sound of horses' hooves roared in the distance, showing that the opponent's pursuers had been forced to within a hundred feet and were rushing towards this side at full speed.
Xiang Yu?
With Zhou Ning's calm heart, he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, but the long knife in his hand still didn't stop, slashing downward.
"Zhou Ning !!!"
Xiang Yu's loud shouts were heard in the distance, and at the same time, lightning flashed, thunder roared and fell, and an extremely fast lightning flew with a shining thunderbolt.
Zhou Ning squinted slightly, and saw Xiang Yu sitting on the black horse, his body still maintaining a throwing posture, and a spear was thrown by Xiang Yu with one hand more than a hundred zhang away, with crackling electric sparks on the surface, and the momentum was very amazing.
Energetic exclamation.
Long He barely blocked Zhou Ning's knife momentum, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and flew into the distance.
Zhou Ning also couldn't catch the spear thrown by Xiang Yufei, and fell to the ground, spurting out a mouthful of blood.
At this moment, several masters of the Chu army had already arrived quickly, gave Kou Zhong a backhand stab, and slashed back.
Zhou Ning knew that this was already a matter of life and death, as long as he stayed a little longer, and when Xiang Yu chased after him, he would not want to leave alive. But he still didn't understand why Xiang Yu valued him so much and had to put him to death.
Without thinking about it anymore, while the dragon was being split back, Xiang Zhuang was still a few feet away, he pulled Kou Zhong up with one hand, flew up diagonally, and jumped on the wall of the alley on the side. By the time Xiang Zhuang pounced again, the two had long been nowhere to be found.
The dragon was slashed and flew away, and landed on the other side of the long street in great embarrassment, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
At this time, the hooves of the black horse were flying, Xiang Yu had already rushed here, probed intently, and sensed Zhou Ning's traces again, revealing a heavy murderous intent on his face.
