Chapter 687: Aid to Relieve Danger
Thunderstorm night, small hill slope, outside the cave. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Listening to that familiar roar, Li Su had never been so happy and satisfied as he was at this moment today.
Yes, Daddy's voice, it sounds weaker than usual, but at least he's alive.
Secretly gesturing to the invisible bushes on the opposite side, Li Su led everyone to continue to approach the cave, only a few zhang away from the entrance of the cave, Li Su became more and more cautious, for fear of alarming the enemy and forcing him to take risks, causing serious consequences.
Turning his hand backwards and pressing down, the subordinates behind him lowered their bodies one after another, hiding their bodies in the dense bushes to the greatest extent, Li Su quietly looked out, and when he saw it, his eyes suddenly widened, and he opened his mouth in shock as he looked at the battlefield a few feet away.
A few zhang away, Li Daozheng was wearing shabby leather armor, the leather armor had been cut through countless openings, hanging on his body in pieces, blood was oozing out of the gaps, and he was holding a halberd in his hand, the tip of the halberd was rusty, and it was stained with bright red blood, and the blood meandered down the tip of the halberd, dyeing the wooden pole of the halberd red.
A lightning bolt streaked across the night sky, and in the light of an instant, Li Su saw Li Daozheng's hair messy, his eyes were angry, but he stood like a god holding a halberd, and dozens of people were hunched over, staring at him viciously, like a pack of wolves waiting for tigers, choosing the opportunity to devour.
Behind Li Daozheng, there was a familiar figure lying down, and Li Su recognized it from his body shape without thinking, it was Wang Zhu. There was a petite figure lying next to Wang Zhu, it seemed to be his mother-in-law Zhou from a distance, Li Su was in a hurry, staring at it by the lightning light that crossed from time to time, but saw Wang Zhu and his mother-in-law lying on the ground covered in blood, but their chests still rose and fell slightly, obviously still alive, but I don't know what the injury was, Li Su was a little relieved, and at this time he couldn't think about why Wang Zhu and his mother-in-law appeared outside the cave, and his eyes were already firmly fixed on the father in the middle of the battlefield.
Li Su was extremely shocked, the impression of the father has always been honest, old, with the common wooden characteristics of farmers, like all old farmers who farm, the biggest interest is their own piece of land, squatting on the edge of the field when there is nothing to do, silently looking at the crops in the field, his face is covered with the same wrinkles and vicissitudes as the land.
Such an ordinary image of an old farmer, why did he completely change his taste when he saw him again tonight? Only a halberd, a broken armor, just usually stand there, but like a hero of the world as majestic, a few zhang behind is the cave, the cave is full of women and the old and weak, but Li Daozheng is only one person, so he stopped all the danger in his hand behind the halberd, like a majestic pass through the ages, although one person stands, but all enemies are incompatible.
Li Su has been in a sluggish state, the appearance of the father at the moment completely subverted his cognition, the father in front of him is so strange, the eyebrows and eyes that are familiar on weekdays have changed another taste at the moment, at this moment he is no longer the ordinary old peasant, he is clearly a long-standing general, the murderous aura in his eyes, and the blood-dripping halberd, all seem to show the past of the infinite scenery.
For a while, Li Su actually forgot to move, just hid in the depths of the bushes, staring blankly at his father's appearance.
The enemy surrounding Li Daozheng obviously didn't think so, they were in a hurry to end the battle, and the ten Li family tribes had fallen on the muddy ground without knowing life or death, and now the only enemy standing in front of them was Li Daozheng, killing Li Daozheng, those women in the cave were old and weak were simply a group of sheep to be slaughtered, and the military order handed over to them by Li Anyan was successfully completed.
The moment of deciding life and death, both the enemy and the enemy have killed the ferocity, everyone took out the momentum of the fish and the net is broken, the captain headed by the captain like a hungry wolf staring at the dying prey, in front of Li Daozheng outside the semicircle, the night sky and a lightning bolt, after a moment of light, the world fell into darkness again, everyone's sight also appeared a moment of blindness, the captain seized this momentary opportunity, suddenly roared forward, and dozens of soldiers under his command did not hesitate to wave their knives forward.
Li Daozheng shouted, the halberd in his hand waved violently, almost subconsciously squatting, the halberd swept downward in a semicircle, the great body suddenly turned in a circle, the halberd danced out of an illusory light and shadow, countless false phantom halberd shadows, a real halberd tip from thousands of virtual images to the real, as if a poisonous snake out of a hole, a fierce and tricky halberd stabbed, right in the chest and abdomen of an enemy, the enemy screamed, Li Daozheng quickly pulled out the halberd, stabbed to another unbelievable angle in the blink of an eye, and happened to stab another enemy in the middle of the neck, The halberd was pulled back, Li Daozheng gathered his momentum and stood, from movement to stillness, as fast as a meteor, after a short moment, Li Daozheng still stood in place like a god, as if nothing had happened, and on the ground, there were two new souls.
The rest of the enemy was startled and quickly retreated to avoid being stabbed by the unpredictable halberd again, and in the middle of the battlefield, the enemy and us once again fell into a long stalemate, looking for each other's next chance to kill the enemy.
After a short moment of fighting, Li Su hid in the dense bushes, all in his eyes, and his expression couldn't help but become more and more terrifying.
Li Su is a person who has led soldiers, and he has personally fought with the enemy, and he has a little understanding of some of the moves and routines of the Tang Dynasty army to defeat the enemy, and Li Daozheng just used those simple moves, Li Su understood it at a glance, it is clearly a typical fighting trick in the Tang Army, concise and effective, one move to defeat the enemy, no fancy.
Li Su's expression became more and more shocked, and his father ...... When will it be a trick in the Tang army? And so skillful, coupled with the murderous and awe-inspiring demeanor of the father at the moment, as well as the fearless momentum, the image of the rickety old peasant on weekdays cannot coincide with the appearance at this moment no matter what.
It's not the same person at all, is it daddy's twin brother in front of you?
Raised his hand to kill two enemies, the wound on Li Daozheng's body cracked and oozes blood again, but the momentum did not diminish at all, and he stood in front of the cave with a halberd, like a general with a horizontal knife, facing the sudden raindrops, and shouted: "Li Mou said, if the husband wants to gain fame, he should go to the rescue, the good head is here, and if he has the ability, he can take it!" ”
The lieutenant and the soldiers under his command were already red-eyed, glared at Li Daozheng viciously, and said with a hideous expression: "You will take it, your good head, we will definitely get it, surnamed Li, you have been injured countless times, and you have lost blood at this moment, and you are floating in vain, it must be the end of the strong crossbow, you only need the last blow to put you down, the last blow ......"
Li Daozheng laughed and said viciously: "You can try again!" ”
"Then try again!" The lieutenant also let out and yelled.
Li Su was in a hurry, immediately stood up from the bushes, and said sharply: "Fence up, no one is allowed to run!" ”
Forty or so tribes here quickly rushed out of the bushes, and in the bushes not far away, Fang Lao Wu also led forty tribes to rush out from the other direction, and nearly a hundred tribes quickly gathered in a very tacit understanding, and in a moment, a half-moon formation was formed on the periphery of the enemy, surrounding the remaining more than twenty enemies in the middle.
Sudden changes, absolute superiority reversed in vain, the captain and others were shocked, and they all withdrew and retreated in the direction of Li Daozheng, but the halberd in Li Daozheng's hand swept out mercilessly, and several enemies fell in response.
A flash of lightning swept across the night sky, and the captain finally saw the appearance of the enemy surrounding him, and the first person had a frosty face and a murderous look in his eyes, and the captain recognized it in just a moment.
"Li Su!"
Calling out the name, and then looking at the cold eyes of the hundreds of tribes around him, everyone suddenly showed an expression of extreme despair. Just looking at Li Su's murderous appearance at the moment, they knew that their vitality was out of luck tonight, and there was no way to live.
So many people besieged his father, and the shots were all merciless killing moves, he almost took his father's life, and killed ten members of the Li family, it can be said that this is a deep hatred of the sea of blood, even if he throws away the blade and surrenders at this moment, it will not work, and he will die.
Sure enough, Li Su didn't wait for the captain to say more nonsense, and spoke coldly.
"Kill not one of them, kill them all! …… Also, don't let them die too happily! ”
Fang Lao Wu beside him reminded: "Do you want to leave a living mouth to ask......
"No, you don't! I know who is the culprit, kill them all! ”
The lieutenant was in a hurry: "Li Xianhou, listen to the villain......"
Before he finished speaking, Fang Lao Wu had already shouted: "Kill!" ”
Ten robes fell in front of them, all of them have been fighting side by side with the enemy for many years, it can be said that they are not inferior to their own brothers, and now ten have died, and the rest of the Li family has long been red-eyed, Li Su's order is in line with the public's wishes, everyone raised their arms and shook their arms, and raised their knives to slash at the enemy.
Li Su did not participate in the fight, ran around half a circle and quickly ran to Li Daozheng's side, knelt in front of him without saying a word, his face was full of deep remorse and guilt.
"The child is not thoughtful, tired father suffers this catastrophe, the child is not filial, and he makes amends to his father."
Just now, he was alone, resisting dozens of people, Li Daozheng had already exhausted his strength, all because the Li family women were old and weak in the cave behind them, and their hope of life could only be pinned on himself, so Li Daozheng stuck to the outside of the cave to save the old woman's life.
At this moment, he suddenly saw his son leading reinforcements and had reversed the situation, Li Daozheng's belief in his heart was loosened in vain, his face became more and more gray and pale, and the strength of the whole person suddenly leaked down, and then collapsed and planted on the ground, Li Su's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly wrapped around his father's body.
At this time, Li Daozheng was covered in blood, both enemies and his own, with several long cuts on his back, which kept oozing blood, and the blood-stained halberd fell to the ground, Li Daozheng was paralyzed in Li Su's arms, holding on to the last trace of strength, raised his hand and slapped Li Su's head hard, trembling and pointing at him: "Melon cowardice, Lao Tzu will settle accounts with you when he wakes up!" ”
After speaking, Li Daozheng's eyes closed and he fainted.
Li Su shouted anxiously, and Steward Xue, who had been honestly staying in the cave in a panic, ran out with a body full of fat and flesh, followed by Xu Mingzhu and Wu, Steward Xue and several subordinates joined hands and carried Li Daozheng, who was covered in blood, back to the cave, and there was still a person lying in the cave, it was Zheng Xiaolou who was exhausted by fighting and losing blood and was in a coma.
The Li family's troops have been surrounded by the enemy, and the encirclement is shrinking smaller and smaller, and from time to time they can hear the desperate screams of the enemy before they die, and the battle situation has been crushed without suspense. Soon, the screams in the encirclement became less and less, and finally fell silent, and at the moment of lightning in the night sky, I saw corpses everywhere on the battlefield, blood and rain mixed together, winding into a blood-red river, slowly flowing into an unknown distance.
This tragic battle finally ended, as Li Su said, the enemy did not leave a living mouth, all killed on the spot, and the Li family tribe carried out Li Su's orders very thoroughly, and really did not let the enemy die too happily, most of the wounds on each enemy's body were not fatal, on the legs, arms, and back, there were knife wounds everywhere, and some were cut by the knife and had a piece of meat missing, and only in the end they were killed with a knife, it can be said that these enemies were all abused to death.
Li Su looked at the scene of the cave looking like Shura's hell with an expressionless face, and a sense of anger in his heart was always unsettled. Dad and his wife were almost killed, as a pillar of the family, Li Su's endless self-blame at the moment has turned into a surging killing intent, although all the enemies were abused to death, he still feels unfinished, and feels that these enemies are still dying too happily.
Inside and outside the cave, the people of the Li family, who were frightened just now, were also busy, busy dressing the unconscious Li Daozheng and Zheng Xiaolou, boiling water and changing clothes, and some subordinates worked together to carry Wang Zhuan and his mother-in-law Zhou who had fainted outside into the cave. As for the ten subordinates who died in battle, they were also carried into the cave to change into clean clothes, and their faces were covered with white silks, giving the dead the last dignity.
Looking at the inside and outside of the cave where corpses were strewn all over the place, Li Su's heart was like a knife, his own small negligence, in exchange for countless people paying the price of their lives, to fill up their negligence, this time, he owed too many debts, too many debts that could not be repaid in this life and the next life.
From Li Su's appearance to the aftermath of the placement, Xu Mingzhu didn't have time to pay attention to him, with tears in his eyes, he took out the style of the Li family's housewife, and commanded the people to give medicine to the injured, change the clothes of the deceased, as well as boiling water, collecting firewood, sharing food, etc., personally cleaned the wound on the back of Ah Weng Li Daozheng, and instructed Steward Xue to take medicine and change clothes, and after everything was properly handled, Xu Mingzhu dragged his tired body to Li Su's side.
"Husband......" Xu Mingzhu called sadly, and the long-suppressed tears finally flowed down in front of his man.
Li Su hugged her into his arms, pressed his chin against the top of her head, and sighed guiltily: "Mingzhu, I'm sorry for you and my father, I was careless, and I almost caused a catastrophe." ”
Xu Mingzhu buried his head in his arms and said sadly: "The world is like hemp, there are thousands of things, how can you calculate everything?" There is something that can't be taken care of, the husband has done well enough, tonight is just an accident, the husband does not have to blame himself. …… The husband is doing a big thing, the concubine does not know much, and the husband cannot be helped in many places, this feeling is more uncomfortable than being killed by a strong man. ”
Li Suqiang laughed and said warmly: "Don't say stupid things, I don't do anything big outside, but sometimes I have to clear some dangers that threaten the peace of the house, this time I have calculated everything, but I didn't count their determination to kill me and my family, it was my negligence, madam, I promise that I will never let you and my father fall into the crisis tonight in the future." ”
Xu Mingzhu nodded obediently in his arms: "Whatever the husband does makes sense, the concubine understands." ”
The husband and wife stayed warm for a moment, Li Su glanced at him, but saw Wu standing quietly not far away, staring at him like autumn water, Li Su smiled at her, as an expression of apology, Wu smiled back, and bowed to him from a distance.
The battle is over, Fang Lao Wu led the robes to clean up the battlefield, not only collecting useful belongings on the enemy's corpses or objects that can prove their identity, but also carefully purging the remnants of the enemy, even if the corpse capital mercilessly stepped forward to mend the knife, many years of battlefield fighting, this is the habit of Fang Lao Wu and others after the war, and the enemy must not let any of them slip through the net.
Facts have proved that Fang Lao Wu and the others' mending knives are indeed effective, the enemy's corpses are lying on the ground one by one, and when everyone mends the knives one by one, they also heard a few terrible screams, obviously a few of them hid in the corpse pile and pretended to be dead, and the enemy who tried to confuse the past failed to escape after all, and was slaughtered by Fang Lao Wu and others, who were experienced on the battlefield.
Li Su has no mercy in his heart, and his idea to hit his family has seriously violated his bottom line, and it is not too much for these enemies to die a hundred times.
Coldly watching Fang Lao Wu and the others clean up the battlefield, Li Su turned his head and looked at Li Daozheng, who was still unconscious in the cave, from just now until now, he finally asked the question that had been suppressed for a long time.
"Mingzhu, before I and the tribe came, was my father the enemy who blocked him alone?"
Xu Mingzhu suddenly palpitated, and nodded in horror: "Originally, ten subordinates were fighting with Zheng Xiaolou and others, but later Zheng Xiaolou and they were seriously injured and gradually lost their support, Ah Weng rushed up without knowing why, and ...... Ah Weng's skills are so powerful, from the perspective of the concubine, he seems to be on par with Zheng Xiaolou, and later, Wang Zhu and his wife also came, and it is because of them, Ah Weng and the subordinates that they will hold out until you appear......"
Li Su's heart was infinitely moved.
Let's not talk about my father, just say Zheng Xiaolou, Wang Zhuan and them, they really did their best, for themselves, they even gave up their lives, and they have been in this era for many years, if they have any gains, the friends they have made here are really true friends and true brothers who are willing to give everything for themselves.
Glancing deeply into the cave, Li Su thought for a while, countless memories flashed in his mind, and he pondered for a long time, and suddenly said: "Mingzhu, do you remember when you told me that you saw my father inadvertently show his skills in the garden?" ”
Xu Mingzhu hurriedly said: "That's right, the concubine told her husband about it at that time, but the husband didn't believe a word, and in the end, even the concubine had to wonder if she was dazzled......"
Li Su looked at Li Daozheng who was unconscious in the cave, and said with a wry smile: "Today, it seems that you definitely didn't look dazzled at the beginning, because I was too self-righteous,...... My father must be a man with a story, but I don't know what his past has been, even his own son has been kept secret, and my mother who died early, and tonight's extraordinary skill, he was ...... Who is it? (To be continued.) )
