Volume 1 Through the Tang Dynasty Chapter 83 Ambush
Lu Xiaoxian's heart sank, it seemed that his worries had really come true, they were ambushed by the rebels.
In the current situation, if the situation is not stabilized as soon as possible, this rogue army of more than 1,000 people will eventually have only one result: they will be slaughtered.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaoxian couldn't care so much, picked up a long knife, knocked the stirrups lightly with both feet, jumped up, and "snapped" to knock down two black shadows.
The archers of the front team of the Liuren Army were a little flustered when they were raided at first, but they also followed the orders of the team leader, pasted on the cliffs on both sides, and took turns to release arrows, and the arrow nets in the air were woven diagonally, and from time to time there were black shadows with several arrows in their bodies falling to the ground.
Lu Xiaoxian secretly complained in his heart, most of these rebels were local natives, they adapted to the terrain here, and they had the advantage in the battle.
The swordsmen of the squadron of the Wanderers and the spearmen of the rear team had already dismounted to fight, and there were more and more rebels on the cliff, as if they could not finish killing.
I don't know when, the sky is already covered by dark clouds, and in the dim canyon, there is a sound of horses' hooves, like dark clouds coming with the wind.
Driven by Lu Xiaoxian, Xie Yunxuan, Zhang Meng, Yang Si and others exerted their courage and killed the enemy one after another. But after all, the number of the rogue army was too small, and they were killed by the rebels and the formation was gradually chaotic, and the casualties were already increasing, but the enemy dared to use the cavalry to charge the formation in this canyon.
In the midst of the eagerness, a group of rebel cavalry had already rushed over, and the rebels who were fighting with the Wanderer Army suddenly jumped up and clinged to the cliff wall to watch the cavalry charge into battle.
The Liuren army was first harassed by the rebels' sudden cold arrows, and then was forced to fall off their horses by the rebels who went down the cliff, and at this time, they saw the rebel cavalry suddenly coming, and they were helpless to be slaughtered.
Although there were not many cavalry, only more than 100 men and horses, there were many souls of the Swordless Army.
Seeing that those cavalry were about to counterattack and strangle again, a dead air shrouded the heads of the rogue army.
The one-eared old servant saw it on the side, his eyes seemed to be dripping blood, he gritted his teeth and jumped on the horse, and hit the horse's buttocks with the back of his knife.
The one-legged old servant was extremely worried when he saw him rushing to a hundred, but he was entangled by the rebels who rushed down from the cliff again, and had to shout: "Brother! Brothers! ”
"Old man, wait for me!" Lu Xiaoxian was full of enthusiasm, patted his horse and followed behind the one-eared old servant, and rushed towards the rebel cavalry.
Lu Xiaoxian's roar was miserable and sad, but it woke up the rogue army that was dizzy by the cavalry.
Xie Yunxuan, Zhang Meng, Yang Si and others took the lead in shouting, and an earth-shattering roar suddenly sounded in the canyon: "Kill!" Kill! Kill! ”
This roar was like a hurricane, stirring up the blood in Lu Xiaoxian's chest, rushing straight to the top of his head, and the more than ten horsemen in front of the enemy were already close at hand!
The one-eared old servant rushed into the rebel cavalry formation, and in an instant, he was enveloped and disappeared.
Lu Xiao shouted casually, the long knife in his hand was coiled like a dragon, it actually filled the narrow valley road, blocking the galloping iron horsemen on the first line, and the more than ten knights who rushed to the front felt as if they had hit the mountain wall, and their bones were broken together with the horses under the seat!
Lu Xiaoxian rode alone, and stopped the strength of thousands of catties, although the horse was as weak as mud, Lu Xiaoxian was also overwhelmed, and spit out a mouthful of blood.
When the rebels saw that he was as powerful as a god, they did not dare to come forward.
Lu Xiaoxian only felt that the shouts of killing and screams had become ethereal and distant, and the scenery in front of him also floated......
He sighed slightly: Impulsiveness is the devil, it seems that his cultivation is still not enough, why can't he help it when he arrives in this environment?
Xie Yunxuan and Zhang Meng saw Lu Xiaoxian fall off the horse, and a few flew to Lu Xiaoxian's side and hugged him back.
Zhang Meng saw that Lu Xiaoxian was covered in blood and didn't move, so he immediately cried bitterly.
At this moment, the army of a thousand people is still alive, but there are only five or six hundred, and the number of rebels on the cliff has not decreased, and it is getting denser and denser. The Liuren army saw that Lu Xiaoxian used his own strength to stop hundreds of horsemen and save many lives, and they all felt his kindness in their hearts, and they all wept.
On the other side of the cliff, Mr. Wang took two beloved apprentices, looking at the scene in front of him, as if enjoying the beautiful scenery.
This ambush was personally planned by Mr. Wang, and even the ambush location was personally selected by him.
The counterinsurgency army of the imperial court was large in number and well-equipped, so it was not suitable to fight hard. But the newly formed Rogue Army is different, eliminating them not only reduces the survival of the rebels, but also can also hit the morale of the counterinsurgency army.
The time, the place, the people, all on the side of the rebels. The battle, which was thought to be over in half an hour, was supported by the super fighting will of the Liuren Army, and it took two hours to fight, but it still did not completely defeat it.
Ouyang Jian couldn't help but praise: "These rogue people are indeed not afraid of death, although they are temporarily recruited, they are not inferior to the soldiers of the imperial court!" ”
Mr. Wang nodded, shook his head again, and said, "At most, a quarter of an hour will be over, and they won't be able to hold on!" ”
Tang Qian didn't know whether Lu Xiaoxian was dead or alive, and her heart was in turmoil, how could she care about the wins and losses of both sides. She licked her cherry lips lightly, and pleaded with Mr. Wang in panic: "Master, you give the order to strike the army!" ”
Mr. Wang's expression was slightly embarrassed, and he glared at Tang Qian and said, "Nonsense! Is this something you can do indiscriminately? ”
Tang Qian fell to her knees and cried at Mr. Wang: "The apprentice wants to go and see his life and death, please ask Master for permission!" ”
Mr. Wang's face sank, and he was about to get angry, but he heard Ouyang Jian say: "Master, let the junior sister go and take a look, he can't control the rogue army by himself, anyway, the current situation is under our control!" ”
Mr. Wang suppressed his anger and thought for a while before he said, "Okay, I'll go with you to have a look!" ”
……
Zhang Meng was hugging Lu Xiaoxian and crying bitterly, but saw an old man with a man and a woman to them.
The rebel soldiers, for some reason, stopped attacking.
Li Xun and the old servant with stump legs stared at the three of them coldly, not knowing what to say.
At this moment, Li Xun has long lost his original ambition, and in order to win a fame, he has added hundreds of lives, is it worth it?
The four remnants who were loyal to him lost two of them in just a few days, which made Li Xun's heart ache. The so-called war exploits are not only out of reach, but it is still a question whether the remaining people can survive!
Tang Qian couldn't care so much, came to Zhang Meng to follow, looked at Lu Xiaoxian who was motionless in Zhang Meng's arms, took out a silk handkerchief, and wiped the blood on Lu Xiaoxian's face little by little, and tears fell one by one: This hateful person, how many times has he teased himself, he wanted to cut him with a thousand knives, but he couldn't do it. What's wrong with me, why do I think of him all the time and can't let go of him...... But he, he died!
Lu Xiaoxian was in a daze, and suddenly smelled the familiar fragrance, half-closed his eyes, and his voice was weak and lazy, but it was clearly audible: "It's you again, don't you need to change your appearance this time?" Don't worry, bad people live for a thousand years, and I can't die easily. ”
Tang Qian saw a light smile on his face, his expression was decayed, but he was resolute and calm, only to feel that his heart was pounding twice, and said softly: "Don't say some crazy things, it's good to rest." ”
Mr. Wang on the side snorted heavily, and Tang Qian's expression couldn't help but be confused.
She whispered in Lu Xiaoxian's ear: "Holding me hostage and threatening my master with my life, this is the only way for you to get out of danger!" ”
Listening to Tang Qian's words, Lu Xiaoxian showed a surprised look on his face, he didn't know why Tang Qian wanted to help them.
Tang Qian said, got up and prepared to go to Mr. Wang's side, her movements were very slow.
Don't miss the time!
For the survival of the Liuren Army, Lu Xiaoxian couldn't care so much. He gave Tang Qian an apologetic and grateful look, picked up a steel knife, jumped up, and put the knife on Tang Qian's neck.
"What are you going to do?" Several voices rang out in unison.
Ouyang Jian is angry voice: Senior sister came to see him kindly, how could he do this, it was simply revenge.
Zhang Meng was surprised: Wasn't Xiao Xian about to die just now, why is he bullying a little girl like no one now?
The one-legged old servant was trembling voice: he probably understood what Lu Xiaoxian's intentions were, and the eldest husband should take it and let it go, this is probably their only chance to get out of trouble!
Mr. Wang is flat voice: It is not surprising that Lu Xiaoxian will do this, if it were him, he would do the same, it seems that today's things cannot be good.
Lu Xiaoxian said coldly at Mr. Wang: "Give orders to your people and let them stop!" ”
Mr. Wang said quietly: "What if I don't agree? ”
Tang Qian stared at Mr. Wang quietly, and suddenly smiled sadly, with a trace of vicissitudes on her innocent face.
Lu Xiaoxian didn't speak, but he answered with facts: a trace of blood flowed down Tang Qian's snow-white neck.
"Senior sister!" Ouyang Jian couldn't help but exclaim.
His eyes were about to burst into flames, his junior sister had paid so much to Lu Xiaoxian, this bastard was too ruthless, and he would do such a thing in order to survive.
Mr. Wang raised his eyebrows, and Lu Xiaoxian was even more difficult to deal with than he imagined.
The most shocked person was not others, but Lu Xiaoxian himself. Although he was holding a steel knife in his hand, he didn't want to hurt Tang Qian at all, after all, she was helping herself. Just now, it was obvious that Tang Qian himself slashed his neck towards the blade, but he couldn't give any explanation.
"Why are you doing this?" Lu Xiaoxian's lips moved, and the voice could only be heard by Tang Qian.
Ouyang Jian and Tang Qian have a deep relationship, although he hates Lu Xiaoxian to the core, but the most important thing at the moment is to save his junior sister's life.
He looked at Mr. Wang and said eagerly, "Master......"
"It's okay to spare you," Mr. Wang looked at Lu Xiaoxian and said suddenly, "If you are willing to surrender, I will let them stop." ”
Lu Xiaoxian was moved by Tang Qian's actions just now, and when he heard such a beautiful word, he glanced at Mr. Wang, sneered and spit out four words: "Daydreaming!" ”
Mr. Wang's face sank, and he was about to have a seizure, but Ouyang Jian knelt down in front of him: "Master, you can't care about the life or death of your junior sister!" ”
Mr. Wang closed his eyes for a long time, and finally waved his hand and said, "Let them go!" ”
