Chapter 144: A Difficult Breakthrough
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Seeing the trapped people running out of the city one after another, the county commander in the city gate tower was in a hurry, and asked his officers and soldiers sharply: "Didn't I ask you to lower the gate?" Why don't you let it go? ”
Several officers and soldiers operating the noose were already sweating profusely, and one of them looked up and said, "My lord, the gate seems to be stuck, and it can't be put down!" ”
"Huh?" The county order was in a hurry, and he once again lay on the arrow stack, and shouted at the officials and officers below by pulling his neck: "Don't let anyone go!" Do you hear that? No one can be let go! Otherwise, we won't be able to eat and walk around! ”
Zhen Fu's brutality was notoriously brutal, and hearing the shouts of the county order, the officials and officers and soldiers attacked more fiercely. Especially on this side of the city gate, people are next to each other, people are crowded, and it is simply overcrowded.
An officer and soldier broke through the defense line of Deng Yu, Yan Guang, and Zhu You, and ran into the city gate cave with a spear.
At this time, Gai Yan didn't dare to move at all, as long as he left, the gate fell, and Liu Xiu and the others had to be trapped in the city.
Seeing the spearhead stabbing at his lower abdomen, Gaiyan could only twist his waist as hard as he could, and then he heard the sound of sand, and the spear pressed against his flesh and swept through his side.
However, Gaiyan's distraction also dispersed his strength, and the gate suddenly fell, and Gaiyan roared and carried the gate on his shoulder.
The gate weighs hundreds of catties, let Gaiyan carry it for a while, that's no problem, but after a long time, the gods can't stand it.
At this time, Gai Yan's legs were trembling and trembling terribly. Li Yi, who was standing outside the gate, looked at Gai Yan in surprise, and sighed in his heart, Juqing is so powerful, there is still a fight in this battle!
Thinking of this, he stepped forward, stood under the gate, and held his hands upwards with all his might, while shouting to the brothers who had fled outside the city, "Come and help!" ”
Li Yi's shout made everyone who had already escaped from the city gather and work together to support the floodgate.
Seeing this, the officer and soldier wanted to hold a spear and stab again, Zhu You turned around, and swept over with a sword, and heard a click, and the heads of the officers and soldiers were cut off to the ground.
This is just the beginning, Deng Yu, Yan Guang, and Zhu You are only three people, how can they stop the crowds of officials and officers and soldiers.
After a short time, several more officials and officers rushed into the hole of the city gate and killed the people who held the gate.
With the help of others, Gaiyan had more energy to spare, and he swept out with one kick, knocking the two officials who rushed in front of him to the ground.
However, other people don't have the ability to do this, and people can't dodge it at all when they see the spears of officers and soldiers stabbing at them.
With a series of muffled sounds, three men were puffed through their chests with spears and fell to the ground in a pool of blood.
Li Yi and the others were so frightened that they didn't dare to continue to hold on to the gate, and they retreated one after another, and soon, the pressure on the gate fell on Gai Yan and the others again. Gaiyan felt the pressure on his shoulders grow stronger and heavier, as if a mountain was pressing on him. He couldn't stand on his legs, his left leg went limp, and with a bang, he fell to one knee on the ground. Gaiyan gritted his teeth and remained on his knees, still resisting the gate with his shoulder
。
This situation and this scene made the officers and soldiers who rushed into the city gate cave speechless, this is no longer a matter of strength, but how strong willpower this person must have!
The people looked at each other, raised their spears one after another, aimed them at Gaiyan, who was kneeling on the ground, and stabbed them down in unison.
Just as several spears were about to pierce Gaiyan's body, a red light flashed in from outside the city gate, and a crisp sound of clicking was heard in the ear chakra, and then the officers and soldiers with spears were in different places at almost the same time.
It was Liu Xiu who entered the city gate cave with lightning speed, and the red light was the Chixiao Sword in his hand.
After he unexpectedly killed several officers and soldiers, he took a breath, looked at Gai Yan, who was still carrying the gate, and asked, "Juqing, how are you?" ”
Gai Yan grinned at Liu Xiu, and pretended to be relaxed and said, "Lord, I'm fine, I can still hold on!" ”
Liu Xiu bent down and looked out of the gate, and when he saw Li Yi and the others standing outside, he said in a deep voice: "Ji Wen, help Juqing carry the gate!" We are brothers, we should live and die together, advance and retreat together! ”
His words made Li Yi's old face blush, and he subconsciously explained: "Uncle Wen, I'm not greedy for life and afraid of death, but ......"
Without waiting for him to finish, Liu Xiu hurriedly said: "Quick!" ”
Li Yi shook his head at the people around him and shouted, "Help!" ”
Everyone ran to the gate again, and worked together to help Gaiyan carry the gate. Liu Xiu stood in the cave of the city gate, raised his eyes and looked into the city, as far as his eyes could see, there were crowds of people, but most of them were officials and officers and soldiers of Wancheng.
If you continue to fight like this, even if you barely break through, you are afraid that you will be caught up if you can't run far. Thinking of this, he said to Li Tong, who rushed to the front of the city gate cave: "Dimension, you are here to attract the attention of the officers and soldiers as much as possible!" ”
"My lord, what about you?"
"Go to the walls!" While speaking, Liu Xiu put his sword into the sheath, and began to untie his clothes in the city gate with the help of Deng Yu, Yan Guang, Li Tong and others who were blocked at the city gate.
Gai Yan, Li Yi and the others next to him were dumbfounded, not knowing what he was going to do.
After a short time, Liu Xiu had already taken off his robe, and took off a military uniform of officers and soldiers and put it on himself.
Then he grabbed two handfuls of blood from the corpse and smeared it on his face and body. He lay on his stomach on the ground, pretending to be a wounded soldier, and slowly crawled out of the gate hole on the ground.
Out of the gate, he climbed along the base of the city wall to the side of the steps.
The officials and officers and soldiers present were all paying attention to the city gate cave, and no one would pay attention to Liu Xiu, the 'wounded soldier'.
After climbing a distance, Liu Xiu held on to the city wall and quietly stood up from the ground, and then he limped up the steps.
From the top of the city wall, there were officers and soldiers rushing down from time to time, and when they passed by Liu Xiu, no one looked at him at all.
Liu Xiu climbed the city wall almost unimpeded and walked towards the city gate. Through the doorway, you can see the county order inside, as well as more than a dozen officers and soldiers. Liu Xiu squinted his eyes, still limping, he just walked to the front of the city gate tower, an officer and soldier ran out of it, looked him up and down a few times, reached out and grabbed Liu Xiu's clothes, pulled him into the city gate tower, and asked: "What is the situation in the city gate hole, why can't the gate be put down!"
”
Hearing his question, the county magistrate turned his head and stared at Liu Xiu intently. Liu Xiu said hesitantly: "The gate ...... The gate seems to be ...... It seems to be ......"
"What does it look like?" The county commander strode up to Liu Xiu and asked sharply.
"It seems to be ......" Before Liu Xiu's words fell, he suddenly pulled out the Chixiao Sword under his ribs, waved his hand to the side, and heard a pop, and the officers and soldiers who pulled him into the city gate tower fell to the ground in response, and a bloody cut of more than a foot long was cut on his chest.
His sudden killing move made the county order and the officers and soldiers present all change their color. Liu Xiu didn't pause for a moment, and with another sword, he went straight to the throat of the county order.
The county commander reacted quickly, hurriedly dodged to the side, and at the same time grabbed a nearby officer and soldier and pushed Liu Xiu hard.
Liu Xiu's sword was picked up from the bottom up, and the lower abdomen of the officers and soldiers who were pushed over by the county order was cut, and the intestines suddenly flowed out.
The county commander screamed, turned around and ran outside the city gate. Liu Xiu's body first bowed backwards, and then ejected like a spring, and as soon as he walked by, he heard a click, and the head of the county order fell in response.
The headless corpse took a few more steps forward before falling to the ground.
Liu Xiu picked up the severed head with his toes, reached out and grabbed his hair, and then he lifted the severed head and yelled at the officers and soldiers in the city gate tower: "Lift the gate!" Lift the floodgates now! ”
The officers and soldiers turned pale with fright and looked at Liu Xiu dumbfounded. Liu Xiu raised the severed head in his hand forward and asked, "You want to be the same as him!" ”
The officers and men were shocked, and the people did not hesitate any longer, hurriedly moved the noose, and lifted the gate little by little.
Liu Xiu carried the severed head, jumped on the arrow stack with an arrow step, and shouted at the many officials and officers and soldiers below: "The county order is dead!" Don't you run for your life? ”
His voice was like thunder in the clear sky, and under the city wall, everyone who was fighting stopped one after another, raised their eyes to look at the city, and saw Liu Xiu, who was covered in blood, and the severed head in his hand.
Time seemed to stand still, and after a pause for a few seconds, the officials and officers and soldiers exclaimed, "It's my lord!" "Your Excellency has been killed!" "Your Excellency is dead!"
Attack the enemy for the bottom, attack the heart for the top! The death of the prefectural commander suddenly suppressed the morale of the officials and officers and soldiers present, and some people had no desire to continue fighting, threw away their weapons and turned around and ran towards the city.
Someone set a precedent, and then, a large number of officials and officers and soldiers had no intention of fighting, and turned around and ran into the city.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Xiu ran down the city wall with a sword in one hand and a severed head in the other, and joined Deng Yu, Yan Guang, Li Tong and others.
People looked at Liu Xiu, and the expressions on their faces were all surprised and delighted. There was no time to delay here, Liu Xiu hurriedly said, "Hurry up!" The county army should be in Wancheng soon! ”
They met no more decent resistance, and rushed out of the city gates and ran all the way south.
Everyone ran five or six miles away in one go, and their strength was exhausted, so their speed slowed down. Liu Xiu ordered everyone to rest for a while, treat the wounds by the way, and lightly count the number of people.
Li Tong and Li Yi left the Li Mansion with 500 people and dozens of carriages.
As a result, a fierce battle was fought, not a single carriage was taken out of the city, and there were only about 100 people left of the original 500 people, and most of these 100 people were domestic servants, guardians and doormen of the Li Mansion.
In fact, in the battle, there were not as many as three or four hundred of them, and the reason why there were only about a hundred of them left was because most of them took advantage of the chaos to flee during the battle.
Li Yi was so happy, during his time in Wancheng, he recruited people everywhere, but he only focused on quantity, not quality at all, resulting in these people recruited, like uncles in the Li family, were supported by good food and drink, and when they were really used, few of them could come in handy. Otherwise, with their more than 500 people, the battle in Wancheng would not have been so difficult, and they would have broken through and successfully escaped from the predicament.
