Chapter 41 Success and Failure
It's just that at this time, if everyone wants to stop Liu Xiu, it's too late.
Sha Lineng's war horse is really a rare horse, even if it is carrying Liu Xiu and Xie Sang, it still runs like an arrow off the string.
Liu Xiu has no horses at home, only cows, but he has also learned to ride horses before, but the horses he has ridden before are only a little stronger than the horses, and he really has never ridden a war horse like this.
When the horse ran, Liu Xiu felt as if he was flying, and his ears were filled with wind.
In just a while, Liu Xiu was only about thirty steps away from the barbarian army opposite, and the barbarians showed their scimitars one after another, just waiting for Liu Xiu to rush to the front and break him into thousands of pieces.
At this moment, Liu Xiu straightened Xie Sang, who was originally lying on horseback, and let him sit in front of him, and shouted loudly at the same time: "Xie Sang is here, who dares to do it?" Shesan is here, who dares to do it? ”
The barbarians couldn't understand the Chinese he spoke, but the barbarians' eyes were not blind, and they all saw the patriarch Xiesang sitting in front of Liu Xiu.
The barbarians were holding scimitars one by one, looking at the Xiesan on the war horse, stunned, not knowing what to do, Luan Titun and Burn Ge could also see clearly, the person sitting on the horse was not the patriarch or who?
The two of them glanced at each other, and shouted loudly: "Come to the enemy to charge the battle, release the arrows!" ”
All the brute soldiers stood up in a daze, and no one drew their bows and arrows. Burning Ge was in a hurry, and shouted: "I asked you to release the arrows, didn't you hear?" ”
"But...... But immediately the patriarch ......," stammered one of the brutes standing beside Burnage.
"I'll let you release the arrow!" Enraged, he slammed his whip on the brute's shoulder, who staggered to the side, and immediately a bloody streak appeared on his shoulder.
He hung his head down, his body trembling in pain, but he didn't dare to shoot an arrow.
He was so, and so were the other brutes, and no one dared to shoot an arrow at Shessan.
It was too late, it was too late, and Liu Xiu and Xie Sang had already galloped to the front of everyone.
The barbarians who stood in place didn't dare to stop them at all, and people retreated to both sides like a tide, giving Liu Xiu's crotch horse a human flesh passage.
If you don't make a move, it's really too late! Luan Tetun and Yao Ge glanced at each other, and the two of them roared together, slashing at Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu also reacted quickly, pulled out the Qingfeng Sword under his ribs, and blocked outward.
When the long, when the long! With two consecutive sounds of iron colliding, Liu Xiu held the sword in one hand and forcibly parried the heavy knives of Luan Titun and Yao Ge.
It's incredible! Luan Titun and Burn Ge are the fierce generals of the Xie clan, their strength is amazing, and they are brave and good at fighting, and there are even people who can parry the heavy knives of the two of them at the same time, and the other party looks like a young man of about twenty years old.
The knives of the two of them scared Xesan a lot, and in his feeling, these two knives were aimed at him to a large extent. Xie Sang was furious and shouted: "Luan Titun and Burning Ge, can you two want to kill me?" (Barbarian)"
This voice made the barbarians present look at Luan Tetun and Yao Ge in unison, and at the same time, it also made the two of them tremble, and they couldn't attack the second knife anymore.
In the moment when the two of them were stunned, Liu Xiu had already urged the horse to pass by the two of them and continue to rush forward.
Next, Liu Xiu was no longer hindered by anyone, rushed from the head of the barbarian army to the end of the formation, smoothly rushed out of the ranks of the barbarian army, and went straight to the barbarian army's main formation.
Oops! Luan Teton and Burn Ge looked back, shocked, and hurriedly turned their horses and ran back, and the rest of the barbarians also ran back with them.
Liu Xiu took Xiesang and rushed to the front of the barbarian army's main formation, and did not stop, but rushed directly inside, and at the same time he kept shouting: "Xiesang is here, who dares to move?" Shetsang is here, who dares to act rashly? ”
At this moment, not only the 1,000 barbarian soldiers saw Xesan clearly, but also the tens of thousands of people in the barbarian army's own formation also saw clearly that Xesan was held hostage by the soldiers of the Hanzhong army.
In an instant, the barbarian army was like a bombing camp, and the people had no master, but they didn't know what to do, so they could only stand in place and scream.
Xietu, who was in the main formation of the barbarian army, naturally also saw Xiesan.
At this time, Xie Tu's lungs were about to explode, and the Hanzhong Army's strong charge completely disrupted his plan, and now everyone saw that Xie Sang fell into the hands of the Hanzhong Army, and he ordered to kill this Hanzhong Army, I'm afraid no one will listen to him.
Xie Tu raised his hand, pointed to Liu Xiu, who was riding his horse and galloping wildly in his own formation, as if entering a no-man's land, and asked everyone on the left and right through gritted teeth: "Who is this person?" ”
The people around him were all at a loss, and none of them knew Liu Xiu, let alone who he was.
From between his teeth, he squeezed out a sentence: "If I capture this man alive, I will skin him alive and draw his tendons alive!" ”
People thought that Shetu wanted to avenge his father's capture! One by one, they all showed a look of righteous indignation, and said one after another: "I will swear to capture this person alive, and I will be ashamed of the patriarch!" ”
They were talking, and Liu Xiu happened to see them too.
He didn't know Shetu, but he could see that Shetu was dressed differently from the other barbarians, with a large coat of animal skin, a wide belt with a cross, and an iron melon-skin hat on his head, with two horns on the top, and around him, there were many barbarian generals, as well as guards with big shoulders and round waists.
In addition, Xie Sang, who was held hostage by him, also looked over there vigorously, Liu Xiu was even more determined, located in the center of the crowd, the barbarian who was held by the stars of the people was Xie Tu.
He pulled the reins of his horse, turned his horse's head, and ran straight to Shetu.
The guards around Xietu hurriedly guarded the surroundings of Xietu, looking at Liu Xiu, as if facing a great enemy. Xie Tu angrily pushed away the two guards who were blocking him, and a pair of deep eyes glared at Liu Xiu viciously.
When he was still more than a dozen steps away from Xietu, Liu Xiu tightened the reins of the war horse and stopped the war horse, he held the reins in one hand and the sword in the other, put it on Shesang's neck, and shouted loudly: "You wait for the barbarians to listen, Shesang is in my hands, if you don't want to kill your own patriarch, you will retreat immediately!" ”
Xie Tu could hear Chinese, and his face turned blue with anger, and now he really had the urge to strangle Liu Xiu and Xie Sang to death, but he couldn't do that, especially in front of so many clansmen.
He suppressed his anger, took a deep breath, and said aloud, "Who are you?" Tell your name and last name! ”
"Liu Xiu!"
Liu Xiu! Xie Tu secretly recited Liu Xiu's name in his heart, and he said in a deep voice: "If you release people, we will withdraw from the army!" ”
He really wanted Shesan to die immediately, but in front of everyone's eyes, he could only say that.
Liu Xiu raised his head and said: "When you retire, I will naturally release you!" ”
"You wait for the Han people, go back on their word, have no reputation, if you refuse to release people today, you don't want to leave here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding barbarian soldiers cheered and surrounded Liu Xiutuan.
Liu Xiu didn't panic, but just pressed the Qingfeng sword towards Shesang's neck, and in an instant, blood flowed down Shesang's neck.
Seeing this, the faces of the barbarians who had just gathered around all changed drastically, and people involuntarily retreated again and again.
"If you don't care about the life or death of the patriarch, just take a shot at me!" As he spoke, he looked around slowly.
The barbarian generals present all glared at Liu Xiu angrily, but none of them dared to act rashly.
Alas! Xie Tu sighed secretly in his heart, he had missed the stupid pig of Xie San, why didn't he die in the pile of women earlier?!
He closed his eyes, was silent for a long time, and then slowly opened his eyes and said, "Our army can retreat ten miles first, you let my father go, and then we will leave Hanzhong and return to the territory." ”
Liu Xiu said: "Fifty miles." ”
"What?"
"You retreat fifty miles, and I will release the people!"
"No way!" Fifty miles, this retreat and advance, to say the least, will take a day's work, he doesn't have so much time to waste on this.
Xie Tu stretched out two fingers and said, "Twenty miles, our army can retreat at most twenty miles!" ”
"Seventy miles!"
"What?"
"Eighty miles!"
"You ......"
"A hundred miles!" The corners of Liu Xiu's mouth raised, he looked at Xiesang, who was sitting in front of him, sneered, and said: "This is the rule of bargaining with me, the more you want to bargain, the more I have to increase the price, wait for the army to retreat a hundred miles, if not, I will cut off his head now!" As he spoke, he really pressed the Qingfeng sword against Xesang's neck again.
There was more blood flowing from Shetsan's neck, and he screamed in fright, almost fainting, and shouted at Shetu: "Retreat a hundred miles!" Immediately retreat a hundred miles! Do you hear that? That's an order! ”
Oops, too! Shetu's lungs are about to explode, he is angry and aggrieved, Shetsang is not enough to succeed and more than he loses, and he is as timid as a mouse, how can he be worthy of being a patriarch?
But Shetsang is the patriarch and his father, and now Shetu is really out of line.
If he really didn't care about Xiesang's life or death, and insisted on killing Liu Xiu, not to mention whether the clansmen were willing to obey his orders, he wouldn't expect to inherit the position of patriarch in the future.
He clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into the flesh of his palms, and said word by word: "Okay, good, as long as you can keep my father safe, I ...... Our army can retreat for a hundred miles! ”
"Shetu, I hope you keep your word!" Liu Xiu smiled at Xie Tu, turned his horse's head, and ran towards the outside of the barbarian army's camp.
Xie Tu's look of wanting to eat him alive but helpless to take him made Liu Xiu feel both interesting and fulfilling.
can come and go freely in the barbarian army, I am afraid that he is the only one in the world, Liu Xiu. Of course, he relied entirely on the gold medal of Shesan to avoid death.
The barbarians present didn't dare to stop Liu Xiu at all, so they could only watch him run out of his own camp with Xiesan.
It wasn't until Liu Xiu left for a while that Xie Tu was able to ease his breath. His clenched fists slowly loosened, almost squeezing out a sentence from between his teeth: "Withdraw troops!" ”
After fighting a tough battle for so many days, seeing that Hanzhong City was about to be captured by their own side, but they had to give up halfway, everyone present was very unwilling, but there was no way.
People are like eggplants beaten by frost, drooping their heads one by one, sighing for a long time.
No matter how unwilling the barbarians were, they finally chose to withdraw their troops.
No one dared to ignore the life and death of the patriarch, and he had to insist on fighting this siege battle until it was over, including Shetu.
This is the power of Shesang! Of course, this also includes Liu Xiu's vision.
