Chapter Eighty-Eight: Do You Have the Courage to Live?

On weekdays, Sima Jiu has always insisted on practicing swordsmanship with Li Jiancheng and others to improve his swordsmanship, and there is also the magical herb Nine Leaves Cloud Sea Phoenix Feather Grass to nourish his body, and his swordsmanship has been improving rapidly.

The martial arts in the world were originally the same, practice makes perfect, and skillful skills, gradually, Sima Jiu found that some of his subconscious moves had already secretly coincided with the sword theory of the sword saint Pei Min and the swordsman Jing Ke.

Now, Sima Jiu has been able to make almost error-free advance moves before Pei Min and Jing Ke command them.

The soft white aura of the harmless sword constantly weakened the killing aura of the broken army spear.

After Sima Jiu made a move, Li Jiancheng and others, who had been struggling to support the siege of Xiao Maha, immediately felt that the pressure they were facing was greatly reduced.

In just a short period of time, Sima Jiuwu had already compressed Xiao Maha's defensive circle from three zhang to two zhang.

At this time, Yuanfeng found the right opportunity, bullied Xiao Maha's side, and suddenly stabbed out two extremely threatening swords, and in an instant, everyone's fighting spirit was greatly boosted.

Sima Jiu even entered a mysterious realm, and the long sword in his hand seemed to be in line with his heart.

Although he was fighting, his heart was becoming more and more peaceful, and his chest was so warm and comfortable that he couldn't help but shout loudly.

Xiao Maha's eyes widened, and his gaze was firmly locked on Sima Jiu.

Taking advantage of Xiao Maha's distraction, Yuanfeng stabbed out a sword very accurately.

He succeeded in this sword.

The blade of the long sword stabbed into Xiao Maha's waist, and although it was blocked by the armor, the sword qi still hurt Xiao Maha's body.

Xiao Maha monster roared, and the tiger shook the hall.

Several of his personal guards wanted to support Xiao Maha, but they were firmly entangled by the dead soldiers of the merchants, and it was difficult to support them for a while.

Xiao Maha's waist was soaked with blood, and drops of blood fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Sima Jiuwu also stepped up the siege, wanting to end the battle as soon as possible, after all, the longer the battle lasted, the more serious the casualties on both sides would be.

Because of this, the injured Xiao Maha is in an even more dangerous situation.

After Xiao Maha fights, he secretly thinks about how to break the enemy.

"After that teenager joined the fight, the situation changed drastically, and it became more and more unfavorable to himself."

After Xiao Maha realized this, the gun path changed, no longer paying attention to controlling the distance, and more stabbing people.

Xiao Maha stabbed Li Jiancheng thirteen times in a row, and was hit by Feng Li and Yuanfeng in the waist and back, forcing Li Jiancheng to take a few steps, and then, Xiao Maha took several tiger steps in a row and directly attacked Sima Jiu.

Suddenly, Sima Jiu felt the hairs on his back stand up.

It was a feeling of fear, like the fear of being dominated by a tyrannosaurus rex in Jurassic Park, which made him tremble.

Sima Jiu took a deep breath and played the highest level after crossing over to the Sui Dynasty, continuously dodging and blocking Xiao Maha's seven straight stabs. He saw from the corner of his eye that Li Jiancheng was desperately rushing up, his heart was slow, but his scalp was numb, but Xiao Maha raised it with one hand, and a black light shot straight at him, and the speed was incredible.

"Sword Saint Pei Min: Dodge to the left, this is not something you can block, you can't stop it!"

"Swordsman Jing Ke: Roll down, avoid the vital point, fast, fast!"

"Mr. Wuliu Tao Yuanming: After a few spaces, I feel that the group leader is more auspicious than lucky, I think, this group may be about to disband, I am very happy to spend so many happy times with everyone."

"Yuquan Old Man Yelu Chucai: ......"

......

Sima Jiu got completely different information about Pei Min and Jing Ke in his mind, but he didn't know what to make for a while.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and the harmless sword in his hand conveyed another instruction to him, one that was completely different from that of Sword Saint Pei Min and Swordsman Jing Ke.

Sima Jiu gently threw out the harmless sword in his hand, and in an instant, the white light of the harmless sword in mid-air rose brightly.

The warring sides couldn't help but be shocked, however, what surprised them even more was that after the white light collided with the black light, the harmless sword actually circled back into Sima Jiu's hand.

And the black light clanged and was knocked to the ground.

Everyone looked at it, and it was a delicate milling machine.

Sima Jiu dodged Xiao Maha's nirvana, and dodged the bad luck of the Hu Ren general, who used to wear Yang in a hundred steps.

Xiao Maha's face was incredible, his milling was one of the nine secret treasures, and he obtained it by chance.

Every time you use the milling, you have to accumulate momentum for a long time, however, every time you use it, it is also a hundred shots.

He had long seen that Sima Jiu was the key to today's battle, so he sacrificed himself to kill this person first, but he didn't expect it to fall short.

It's too late, it's too soon.

Just when Xiao Maha was surprised, Yuanfeng and Feng Li shot again, and they concentrated Xiao Maha's back and right arm respectively.

Perhaps it was too much shock, or it was powerless, Xiao Maha's right hand was numb, and the broken military gun in his hand immediately fell to the ground.

Despite this, Xiao Maha did not give up the struggle, he pulled out the sword at his waist with his backhand, and after violently swinging the sword to repel the siege of everyone, he could no longer suppress a mouthful of blood in his chest.

"Poof!"

The blood that Xiao Maha spat out instantly stained his snow-white beard red.

At this time, Xiao Maha knew that the general trend had gone, however, he was not sad, he just looked up at the bamboo forest outside the hall, his face was wiped with a trace of tenderness, the long sword hung down, and he was no longer able to raise it.

Seeing this, Feng Li and Yuanfeng gritted their teeth and rushed forward with their swords, wanting to kill Xiao Maha.

Suddenly, Sima Jiu anxiously stopped: "Leave people under the sword!" ”

At this time, the dead soldiers in the small courtyard were guarding the unconscious Liu Meiniang, and Xiao Maha's personal guards had been killed, and the remaining dozen people also surrounded Xiao Maha.

They had already made up their minds to die.

Sima Jiu's words made Li Jiancheng puzzled.

Sima Jiu put the harmless sword in his hand into the scabbard and slowly took two steps forward.

"General Xiao, under the leadership of Lord Yang Su, the imperial army is invincible, invincible, invincible, and invincible, and now, the troops are outside the city of Pingyao, and the city will be broken tomorrow."

"The king of Han has been raising troops for more than a month, but he has not been able to take advantage of the situation to take the Beijing division directly, and now, the imperial army is besieging the land of the state on all sides, and the king of Han has gone, and the defeat is a foregone conclusion."

"General Hero I, you won't be unable to see through the current situation, right?"

"Besides, the general is now seriously wounded and unable to fight again."

"Why don't you open the city gate and return to the empire, one can protect the lives of thousands of soldiers under the general's command, and the other can also protect the safety of the people in the city."

Sima Jiu looked at Xiao Maha with clear eyes, Li Jiancheng and the others also nodded, put their swords back into their sheaths, and stood beside Sima Jiu, saying that they would advance and retreat with him.

As soon as Xiao Maha heard the words of persuasion, a trace of hideous color flashed across his face.

He is the general of Nan Chen, and he is the most unpleasant on weekdays, but he is also the word persuasion.

Xiao Maha glared at Sima Jiu angrily, however, Sima Jiu still looked at him kindly, as if waiting for his decision.

"You're Yang Su's cronies, right? Interspersed with surprise attacks, it was originally Yang Su's forte, and the general was sitting in Pingyao City, just to meet him. ”

"Life and death are just a thought, I Xiao didn't put it in my heart, in addition to life and death, there is another point, you must know that in this world, there will not be Xiao Maha who surrendered twice."

The Southern Chaohu General showed a miserable smile, raised his hand and raised the long sword in his hand to wipe it on his neck, but heard Sima Jiu say loudly: "The old general has the courage to die, but doesn't he have the courage to live?" ”

"In the past, the queen of the Southern Dynasty was tyrannical, and the general endured humiliation for the safety of the people in Jiangnan, and my generation of young students admired it very much. Today, if the general is generous to death, have you ever thought of the thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city? ”

"If the army is uncontrolled, it will inevitably bring disaster to the people, and tomorrow, the imperial army will attack the city, and the soldiers and people in the city will be in trouble."

"At that time, Pingyao City will definitely become a hell on earth."

At this time, it was already a moment of time, the eastern sky had already revealed a touch of fish belly white, the noise of Yang Xuanting and others in the city had slowly weakened a little, the breath of the people in the city getting up to live, and the crying of children could be faintly heard.

Xiao Maha held a long sword around his neck, thinking about Sima Jiu's words, he was there for a while, and it seemed difficult to choose.

"In the past, everyone in the world said that the general was brave and incompetent, and the empire surrendered for the sake of his wife."

However, as I saw in Xiaosheng, this was not the case. For the sake of righteousness, the general did not kill the king in the Dejiao Palace, and it was also because of Daren that he did not continue to lead the army to resist the Sui. Nan Chen has no way, the general is not a false name, conforms to the will of heaven, and seeks great benefits for the people of the world. ”

"Today, the soldiers and civilians in Pingyao City are also waiting for the general to come to rescue, and Xiaosheng still hopes that the general will endure humiliation and bear the burden to save Pingyao City from danger?"

Xiao Maha squinted at Sima Jiu, and Sima Jiu's words were all scars in his heart.

In the depths of his heart, he was holding on to the battle and dying on the Yangtze River defense line, just creating and making people.
