Episode 173: Life and Death Crisis

Wilderness, mountains and forests, Liu Bei and Tao Qian had just fled in with dozens of remnants, and before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the shouts of killing behind them sounded like an overwhelming madness, but they saw Xiao Lan, who was dressed in gold armor, personally led the troops to chase after him, and a loud shout came out of his mouth: "Tao Qian's old man, big-eared Liu Bei, today, your road has come to an end!" โ€

"Ahh Looking at the Taiping army rushing over the mountains, Tao Qian's legs were weak, and he sat on the ground in fright: "Xuande, the enemy army is overwhelming, how can this be good?!" โ€

Liu Bei gasped and looked around, hoping to find a chance to escape, but, as Tao Qian said, the enemy army is overwhelming, and he really doesn't know what to do?

"Kill, catch Tao Qian's old thief!"

"Don't go Liu Bei, capture the big-eared Liu Bei alive!"

Under the command of Xiao Lan, the elite soldiers of the Taiping Army, in the blink of an eye, rushed to the front of Liu Bei and others who had fled, and surrounded them in the middle.

Xiao Lan's eyes were full of indifference, without the slightest emotion, seeing that the encirclement had been completed, he immediately ordered indifferently: "Take them down." โ€

"Kill!" When the soldiers of the Taiping Army at the forefront heard the military order, they immediately took action and launched an attack.

Tao Qian Liu Bei led dozens of officers and soldiers to hurriedly resist, and those who were able to flee here with them, the loyalty of these dozens of officers and soldiers naturally needless to say, they are all legendary diehards, and they belong to absolute iron fans, even if they are deeply encircled and faced with the strangulation of the Taiping army, they are still desperate to protect the lord.

However, loyalty is loyalty, strength is strength, the difference in strength between the two sides is too big, it is not at all a mere loyalty can make up, under the encirclement and suppression of Xiao Lan's army of more than 1,000, soon, these dozens of officers and soldiers were killed and wounded, and without protection, the life of the master was naturally in jeopardy.

"Xuande save me." Fighting. Tao Qian was kicked to the ground by a Taiping army, and before he could stand up, he was surrounded by several Taiping soldiers. He hurriedly shouted at Liu Bei for help.

At this moment, Liu Bei was struggling to wave the double swords in his hand to resist the Taiping soldiers who rushed towards him, Yu Guang glanced at Tao Qian, sighed helplessly, gritted his teeth, and repelled a few approaching Taiping troops. desperately fled to the side, but he left Tao Qian alone.

"Xuande ......" Seeing Liu Bei give up on himself and escape, Tao Qian couldn't help but let out a desperate shout in his mouth, and then, before he could react, several Taiping soldiers had already rushed up, punching and kicking, and fiercely subduing him.

In this way, Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian, who had been a court official for half his life, became a prisoner of the Taiping Army. Just like his son Tao Ying.

"Big ear Liu Bei, it's really interesting, it's a pity, I met Ben Shuai, your life has come to an end, if you want to escape, there is no way!" With a cold snort, Xiao Lan immediately waved his hand, transferred fifty elite guards with more than 1,000 arms, and killed Liu Bei with a fierce momentum.

"Damn thieves!" Liu Bei went crazy on the side. The twin swords in his hand waved everywhere, but the Taiping army rushing in like a tide made it difficult for him to move an inch. Between the parries, there were already many flaws, and waiting for the elite guards who were replaced by Xiao Lan to play, he couldn't support it even more.

He was already weak in his limbs because of excessive exhaustion, but at this moment, he only felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. The double-strand sword in his hand became heavier and heavier, and the swing was naturally slower and slower, and one might as well be attacked by a personal guard, and a knife was slashed on his left shoulder.

"Ugh!" With a muffled snort in his mouth, the sharp pain that penetrated into the bone marrow, Liu Bei almost couldn't support it, his body shook from side to side, and he almost fell to the ground.

"Yo, it's quite tough, it's really worthy of being able to put the right person with Lu Bu, who is known as the world's number one fierce general!" Seeing Liu Bei, who was bleeding from his shoulder and still struggling to support, the guards who succeeded in the sneak attack couldn't help but praise him.

But then, another black-faced guard next to him made Liu Bei almost fall into despair: "Okay, don't talk nonsense with him, Dashuai mobilized 5,000 elite horsemen to chase down Tao Qian and Liu Guanzhang The three brothers, but there can be no mistakes, Dashuai said, life or death, you can't catch the living, and the dead can do it." โ€

"Ma Wu is right, looking at the appearance of this guy, it doesn't look like he will surrender, and he claims to be a descendant of the royal family, kill him, and sacrifice his head to the marshal!" Hearing this, another tall guard immediately raised his sword and shouted: "Brothers, go up together and kill him!" โ€

5,000 elite riders, dead or alive? Even as an opponent, Liu Bei has to admit that Xiao Lan is indeed a qualified hero now, looking at the Taiping army all over the mountains, Rao is no matter how ambitious Liu Bei is, he can only sigh at this moment: "My life is resting!" โ€

Things really began to develop in the worst direction as he expected, just a stunned effort, Liu Bei was stabbed again, this knife slashed on his thigh, Liu Bei stumbled, his body was weak, and he fell directly to the ground.

Ma Wu sneered, took three steps and made two steps, came to the front, waved the long knife, and slashed directly on Liu Bei's back, and then, with a wave of his hand, aimed at Liu Bei's head, he was about to slash down.

"Thief, don't hurt my eldest brother!" At this moment, suddenly, there was a loud shout, like a thunderbolt, which shocked everyone for a while, and before the words fell, a spear broke through the air, turned into a streamer and lightning, and came straight to the roar.

The two people who came, one with a red face and long hair, and the other with a black face and ringed eyes, were Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two of them saw that they were invincible to Dian Wei and Xu Chu, and they followed the traces of Liu Bei and others retreating all the way here, but they never thought that they were seeing Ma Wu raising his sword and wanting to kill Liu Bei.

"Poofโ€”" was the dull sound of a sharp blade piercing into his flesh, and the spear burst through the air, thrust through his chest, and pierced through his body, leaving a hideous wound.

"Ma Wu!" Seeing that his companion was hit so hard, several guards around him hurriedly shouted and held his body.

"Ahem......." Ma Wu coughed violently, and then, a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out, and the red blood instantly dyed the corners of his mouth extremely red, like a burning fire, igniting his life, turning into a red flame, extremely hot.

He gritted his teeth, opened his eyes wide, looked at the few brothers and comrades-in-arms around him who had made good friends on weekdays, and looked at Liu Bei, who had already joined Guan Yu and Zhang Fei not far away, who was fighting fiercely with the Taiping Army, and said with an unwilling face: "I hate, I hate...... I can't kill the big-eared Liu Bei......"

"Ma Wu, don't worry, our Taiping Army has 5,000 troops here, no matter how powerful their three brothers are, there are only three of them, even if they are consumed, they can be consumed to death, if you endure it, I will send someone to send you back to the camp, there is the best military doctor there, and I will definitely be able to save you!" The tall guard's face was full of blood and tears, and he tried his best to calm the grief in his heart, and said comfortingly.

"Lou Cheng, no....... no, I ....... I know very well in my heart, this time, I'm afraid it's really not good, handsome ......" Between the words, the eyes that were already scattered and godless suddenly widened when they saw a resolute figure galloping from the horse.

"Dashuai!" Seeing Xiao Lan Pegasus coming, everyone hurriedly made a way and greeted respectfully, but between the words, there was an indescribable sadness.

Xiao Lan waved his hand, ignored everyone, walked straight to Ma Wu's side, and said with concern: "Brother, how are you .......?" โ€

"Dashuai, you're here, it's good to see you......." Ma Wu seemed to recover a little bit of brilliance, and said with a little confusion in his mouth: "I was originally a homeless person in Qingzhou, because the Shi clan occupied the land and became a homeless person, under hunger, I had to take my wife and children to join the Yellow Turban, and followed General Xu He to live the same life as a robber, thanks to meeting Dashuai you, I was able to become a Taiping Army, my wife and children and parents got a lot of land, and lived a stable life, no longer have to be oppressed by the wealthy families, Although I died on the battlefield today, I have no regrets, handsome, thank you....... thank you......"

When the words fell, the anger was exhausted, and another Taiping warrior died on the battlefield, shrouded in horse leather......... (To be continued.) )
