Chapter 335: A Difficult Return

The fire spread into the distance, and there was a hell in front of him, Li Yan stood on a high place, his expression did not change much, but he felt like he was going to vomit in his heart. He has been suppressed, just because he doesn't want to be looked down upon.

He knew that after today's battle, there would be no going back. The previous Li Xin is completely dead, and it is no longer as simple as changing his name. It doesn't matter what the name is, what matters is that you have already stepped on the boat. I used to think I hated this boat, but when I really got on the boat, I found that it didn't seem so unbearable, at least Li Zicheng was very different from other rogues.

The wind, howling, carried the slightest smell of burning. In the smoke of gunpowder, the officers and soldiers had already collapsed, and the remaining resistance was only in vain. Farther away, in the vast night, some people fled in despair, as long as they stepped into the Jingangtai Mountain, they might be safe.

A roar full of excitement sounded from the side front, and a strong man holding an iron rod laughed: "Where to run, sons, grandpa has been waiting for you here for a long time, brothers, slaughter this group of bitch-raised ......."

And ambushes? Everyone was stunned, but in order to escape, they could only fight desperately. In despair, some of them went out like madmen, "Raised by a son of a bitch, if you want to kill Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will bite you to death first!" A soldier with red eyes rushed towards the strong man, and when the strong man saw those beast-like eyes, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly dealt with it carefully.

A sudden encounter unfolded on the east side of Liulin Hill. At this time, Nangong Sen had already woken up slowly, he didn't have the heart to blame those pro-soldiers, at this moment, he had no idea of committing suicide, and only wanted to take more people to escape to Jingangtai Mountain. Struggling to stand up, he took his knife from the hands of his own soldiers, he took a few steps forward with a cold face, "Don't be stunned, the previous account will be settled with you later, now we will follow me to kill the thieves, we must hurry over, otherwise we will not have much hope when a large number of thieves pounce on us." ”

Several pro-soldiers smiled wryly, but in fact, there was not much hope at the moment. Others don't know, but they know that the so-called reinforcements are very unreliable, and they don't know if the other party will come, and they don't know when they will come.

Nangong Sen quickly gathered people to break through, but sometimes he was really afraid of something, and after a while, a thief soldier rushed from behind, which shows that the main force of the thief should be very close. Nangong Sen looked up to the sky and sighed, looking sad and indignant, "The sky is going to kill me!" ”

Maybe it was this long sigh that someone noticed Nangong Sen. This man was burly, dressed in soft armor, and held a heavy knife in his hand, and at a glance, he could see that the weight of this knife was not light. He was not very young, about twenty years old, but he was very scary. Parting the people in front of him, the young man waved his big knife and laughed: "Nangong Sen, you can't leave today, let Lao Tzu stay." ”

Nangong Sen's eyes were cold, he refused to bow his head, and slashed at the young man with a knife. The sword techniques of both sides were all powerful, and with a bang, a string of sparks was left, Nangong Sen took half a step back, but the young man did not retreat but advanced, with an excited face. What a lot of strength, what a heavy knife. Nangong Sen tightened his brows and pointed at the young man, "Who are you, you have a lot of ability, why do you have to rebel?" ”

"Hey, it doesn't hurt to tell you, Lao Tzu big Liu Zongmin, now follow General Li to be the leader of a small team. I have no choice but to borrow your head to save credit" The young man Liu Zongmin's face changed, and he laughed sarcastically, "As for why you rebelled, don't you know in your heart?" If you don't stop eating and drinking, who doesn't want to live a peaceful life? Lao Tzu came to Henan to join his relatives, wanted to be a little blacksmith, and was brutalized by you dog officials, so why don't you turn against his mother......"

Speaking of this, Liu Zongmin's eyes shot a thick hatred. In fact, he was telling the truth, Liu Zongmin never thought of rebellion, even if there was a natural disaster in Shaanxi, his parents died, and he didn't have any food, he didn't have this thought. After several twists and turns, he came to Henan Mansion to join relatives and learn to strike iron. But one day, a rich boy passed by the blacksmith shop, and the blacksmith shop never had a peaceful day again.

On the day the blacksmith master died, Liu Zongmin saw the world clearly. In this world, good people do not live long, and disasters live for thousands of years. The imperial court is unreliable and has long been decayed, so if you want justice, you can only rely on yourself. That night, he burned down the blacksmith's shop, taking only the great knife that belonged to him. On the same night, he broke into the wealthy merchant, killed the second ancestor who bullied the market, and embarked on the road of escape. It was not until the peasant army entered the Central Plains that he found a place to live.

Liu Zongmin has never mentioned the past to others. Because when you mention it, your heart hurts. If there was another choice, he, Liu Zongmin, would never have embarked on this path.

Nangong Sen clenched the knife in his hand, and his eyes locked tightly on Liu Zongmin opposite. In an instant, it seemed that the surrounding fighting sounds had disappeared, and those people were gone, leaving only these two people in heaven and earth. Liu Zongmin's big knife was on the ground, with a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, suddenly, the big knife was picked up, some dust and grass clippings were provoked, Nangong Sen instinctively blocked it, but Liu Zongmin was like a tiger hunting for food, directly launched. Fortunately, Nangong Sen is not an easy person, he instinctively senses the danger, and when he turns his head, the steel knife goes up.

With a bang, I only felt the numbness of the tiger's mouth, as if the arm was about to be broken. Teng Teng Teng took a few steps back before he unloaded all his strength. After failing to make a move, Liu Zongmin was not discouraged, he walked over step by step with a knife, and shouted loudly: "Give Lao Tzu a flash, this person is mine!" ”

Those who were still thinking of picking up cheap ones were so frightened that they shrank back. They looked at the vicious Liu Zongmin, no one dared to express a trace of dissatisfaction, obviously, they had already seen Liu Zongmin's power.

Nangong Sen knew that he couldn't hide, so he grinned miserably, "It's a pity, it's also a well-known man, if you want to kill me, you have to pay a price." After that, Nangong Sen took the lead in attacking, the double knives in his hands were as fast as thunder, and the steel knives swept horizontally, like a big scissor covering Liu Zongmin in the middle. Liu Zongmin frowned, did not retreat, but advanced, the big knife was sent forward vertically, and he shouted loudly, "Break it for me..... Broken ......"

With a clang, the two sides collided again, and Nangong Sen was dumbfounded to find that his left-hand knife had actually broken, and the tiger's mouth had also burst into blood. Nangong Sen didn't have time to think about it, so he could only continue to slash the knife in his left hand according to the move. And Liu Zongmin didn't stop, the big knife took advantage of the situation and struck upward, and the two launched killing moves almost at the same time.

"Ah....." Nangong Sen let out a miserable scream, the big knife was provoked, and his right arm was cut off violently, because it was too fast, his arm fell to the ground, and he was still holding the knife tightly in his hand. Blood gushed out, and the whole person retreated.

But Liu Zongmin stopped, he was stunned, and touched his lower abdomen, where there was a blood mark, although the wound was very shallow, but Liu Zongmin knew very well that the confrontation just now was actually his own loss. If it weren't for Nangong Sen's left-handed knife being broken, this move would have cut his lower abdomen ironclad open, and when the internal organs and intestines flowed out, the possibility of surviving was very small, but Nangong Sen paid an arm.

Exchanging injuries for killing, what a lot of courage. At this moment, Liu Zongmin learned something more, and he was in awe of Nangong Sen's actions, these things may only be used by people who have fought on the battlefield.

"Nangong Sen, you are a man, but ...... You still have to die" Liu Zongmin clenched the big knife again, but Nangong Sen's face was pale, and the next thing was to wait for death. This didn't kill Liu Zongmin, God deliberately let him Nangong Sen die.

Liu Zongmin walked briskly towards Nangong Sen, clenched the hilt of the knife with both hands, and raised it high, as long as it fell heavily, the head would become a heavy stroke on the credit sheet. Suddenly, a whining sound, and in front of me, the flames filled the sky, and a group of men and horses seemed to fall from the sky. It was the officers and soldiers, and the reinforcements of the officers and soldiers came. Taking advantage of Liu Zongmin's stunned, several pro-soldiers desperately snatched the crippled Nangong Sen back.

On the high slope on the east side, there is a lot of chaos. The reinforcements led by Yue Zicong finally arrived, and Li Zicheng's main army also arrived. After learning about the tragic situation of the soldiers and horses in the mall, Yue Zicong couldn't say a word, especially after seeing Nangong Sen who had passed out, he was even more concerned. Without any hesitation, Yue Zicong ordered to turn around and retreat to Jingangtai Mountain. But how could Li Zicheng let Yue Zicong easily withdraw? Under Li Zicheng's dispatch, Lu Weiliang had already interspersed with Jingangtai Mountain early, which also led to Yue Zicong's department being cut off from his waist. Because many soldiers and horses could not retreat to Jingangtai Mountain in time, they could only beat Lu Weiliang's soldiers and horses back first.

The soldiers and horses on the side of Gushi City fell into a bitter battle, Yue Zicong's heart was like a knife, but Xu Changlu couldn't help but complain, "I said a long time ago not to come, but you just didn't listen, and now our people and horses have also been bitten, what do you say?" ”

The soldiers and horses in the mall suffered heavy losses, and Nangong Sen was seriously injured, and his life and death were unknown. Yue Zicong was already bored, but now that the army is in a bitter battle, Xu Changlu doesn't encourage morale, and he comes up again. At this moment, Yue Zicong was really fed up, and he had been on an errand under this second ancestor for the past two years, just like coaxing the ancestor. It was forgotten before, but now in this situation, Xu Changlu has not yet seen what a general soldier should be, and Yue Zicong really can't bear it. I don't know where the courage came from, he grabbed Xu Changlu and yelled viciously: "The surname Xu, Lao Tzu has endured you for a long time, have you seen it?" The thieves can come at any time, and if you still want to live, be quiet for me, you know? ”

"You ......." Xu Changlu was frightened by Yue Zicong's vicious appearance, in the past two years, Yue Zicong has talked to himself, which time is not kind and pleasant, like today, not only his tone is cold and hard, but he also dares to do it, which is unique. Xu Changlu's heart trembled, he felt the anger of the other party, he believed that this guy had made him anxious, this guy really dared to throw him Xu someone to Liukou. So, Xu Changlu wisely chose to shut up.

Letting go of Xu Changlu, Yue Zicong sighed with complicated eyes. He knew that with this matter, when he returned to Nanzhili, he would not have any good fruit to eat no matter what. Xu Changlu has a good uncle, but he is the nephew of Shi Feiyang, the capital of Nanjing, with this relationship, what kind of storm can he make in a small local deputy commander-in-chief? It's not that I didn't want to kill Xu Changlu directly, but with so many eyes watching, if this matter is known to the gang of officials in Nanjing, his family will suffer.

Hey, fate is really unfair, he sacrificed his life and forgot about death, so he fought to the position of deputy chief soldier, but Xu Changlu, a second ancestor who did not understand military affairs, started as a general soldier, and sighed in vain?

The war is still ongoing, although the soldiers and horses of the mall and Gushi City have completed the gathering, but both sides are demoralized, in the face of the swarming thieves, where can they resist? In just one hour, the casualties were somewhat unacceptable.

Yue Zicong tried his best to fight and retreat, he might not be able to exit King Kong Taishan safely, he was not sure at all. Looking at this posture, even if you go back, the casualties of the various departments will not be small. At this time, on Zhujiao Mountain, not far from Mount Kumgangdae, some people are paying close attention to the battle here. In the jungle, the sand sculpture wrapped in thick clothes and sneezed softly. He frowned, clearly making a difficult decision.

The progress of the battle in the mall and Gushi City was somewhat unexpected, Qi Weiyu's matter was unexpected, and he also didn't expect that a young man named Li Yan would suddenly appear, and he even set a fire in Liulinqiu. This fire burned out the morale of the soldiers and horses of Nanzhili, and also brought a catastrophe to the retreat of the soldiers and horses of Nanzhili.

The secret shot was made before, but he just wanted Li Zicheng's army to enter the Luzhou Mansion smoothly and create pressure on the Nanzhili side. But he never thought that the loss of the Nanzhili army would be so great, and the heavy loss of the Nanzhili army was definitely not the result that the superintendent wanted to see.

"What are we going to do, Commander? In the end, can you make a move? Someone asked eagerly, they couldn't help but be in a hurry, because the war would soon spread to Zhujiao Mountain. This time, Liukou was obviously determined to bite the soldiers and horses of Nanzhili and hit them hard.

The sand sculpture patted the soft ground, raised his eyebrows, and raised his voice: "Inform the brothers, let the brothers get ready, and help them." I will inform the Overseer of this matter, and if there is a problem, I will take the responsibility alone. ”

The sand sculpture finally decided to help those soldiers and horses of Nanzhili, and there was not much disgust with these soldiers and horses of Nanzhili, although they had poor combat effectiveness and many old soldiers, but after all, they were soldiers and horses of the imperial court. Nangong Sen and Yue Zicong are also well-known men, which is very admirable.

.......

Time passed quickly, Yue Zicong led the crowd to fight and retreat, and finally came to the junction of Jingangtai Mountain and Zhujiao Mountain, which is called Luofeng Valley, which is actually a depression.

Due to the topography, Luofeng Valley has accumulated water all year round, and over time, it has formed a not shallow mountain river. The defeated soldiers of Nanzhili didn't think much about it, and jumped directly into the river, and most of them successfully crossed the Luofeng Valley.

But when Lu Weiliang's soldiers and horses crossed the river, an accident occurred, and just halfway through, a rain of arrows flew from the side high, killing and wounding hundreds of people in an instant.
