As the battle continued, the Jianghu people on the top of the mountain were gradually squeezed to the edge of the cliff, people looked back, it was an abyss that could not be seen at a glance, and looking ahead, it was the Han army coming in a neat phalanx.

Several Jianghu people could not bear such oppression, threw away their weapons, ran towards the Han army formation, and shouted at the same time: "Surrender!" We surrendered! ”

When they ran to the phalanx, they were greeted by a fierce shield strike.

The Han soldiers holding shields in the front row slammed the shields in their hands into the Jianghu people who took the initiative to run, and with a series of sounds, knocks, knocks, knocks, several Jianghu people were knocked back again and again.

Before they could stabilize their figures, countless halberds and spears suddenly pierced out from behind the shields.

Pity these Jianghu people, thinking that if they surrendered, they would be spared death, but they obviously forgot that what they committed was the crime of assassinating the king, and there was no greater crime in the whole world, even if they were forced to surrender, it would be death.

Spears and halberds pierced through people's bodies, and heart-rending screams rang out one after another.

Seeing the surrendered companions die tragically in front of the phalanx of the Han army, the eyes of the rest of the people in the rivers and lakes were red, and one of the middle-aged men with a sword shouted loudly: "Horizontal and vertical are all dead, we fight with the thief army!" ”

"Fight!"

The middle-aged man took the lead, holding a sword and going towards the Han army array, and when he got closer, he swept with a sword, sand, and the blade of the sword drew a long line of sparks on the shield array, but it couldn't break the shield array at all.

Several spears and halberds stabbed out from behind the shield array, heading straight for the middle-aged man's vital point.

The latter snapped, raised his sword with a click, and several spears and halberds were cut off.

He stabbed forward with his sword, and the Han soldier holding the shield shrank his head, and the whole person shrank behind the heavy shield.

The middle-aged man stabbed the air with a sword, roared violently, and swung his sword to slash.

When! The blade of the sword slashed at the shield, and the sparks burst out, but they still couldn't break the shield at all.

Sand, sand, sand! More halberd spears stabbed out from behind the shield array, and the middle-aged man had no choice but to retreat.

He took a deep breath and jumped up, wanting to jump over the shield array and directly enter the Han army camp to fight.

But when others were in the air, they heard the sound of crackling and crackling, and the sound of crossbow machines in the Han army camp ejecting was everywhere, and countless crossbow arrows flew out, all roaring towards him.

The middle-aged man swung his sword vigorously and wanted to block all the crossbow arrows, which was undoubtedly whimsical.

He swung his sword to block several crossbow arrows, and suddenly felt a pain in his ribs, and one of the crossbow arrows had already pierced deeply.

At the moment when his body stiffened, five or six more crossbow arrows were nailed to his body almost at the same time.

The middle-aged man failed to jump into the Han military formation, and was still blocked out of the shield formation.

Several arrow wounds hurt so much that Venus appeared in front of his eyes, and he almost fainted on the spot, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the forward shield array hit him hard.

The middle-aged man staggered back a few steps and walked on the ground.

There was no chance to get up at all, and the halberd stabbed from behind the shield made a popping sound on his body.

This is just a corner of the battlefield, and the rest of the Jianghu people, like middle-aged people, can't break through the shield array of the Han army head-on, and they jump up and want to jump in, but they are immediately subjected to the concentrated arrow shooting of the Han army.

More than 20 people in the rivers and lakes lost more than 10 numbers in the work of this meeting.

The remaining dozen or so quacks were once again driven to the edge of the cliff.

Unable to fight, there was nowhere to escape, and more than a dozen Jianghu people were squeezed together.

The Han army formation didn't care about their desperate wails, and continued to push forward and press, and the heavy shield squeezed the Jianghu people, making them keep retreating.

"Ahh

This is just the beginning, under the pressure of the Han military array, these Jianghu people fell off the cliff one after another.

In just a few minutes, the remaining dozen or so Jianghu people disappeared on the edge of the cliff.

Next, the soldiers of the Han army began to clean up the battlefield.

There were many corpses and wounded on the battlefield, most of whom were Jianghu people.

Many Jianghu people who were injured and couldn't stand up lay on the ground, begging bitterly, but no one listened to them, and some passing Han soldiers went up with a spear and stabbed them to death.

The two brothers and sisters, Lian Zheng and Lian Zixuan, who were hiding behind a mountain rock, looked at it secretly, and before the two of them came out, the Han soldiers had already noticed them here.

A Han soldier raised his spear and shouted, "Whoever is hiding behind a stone, come out immediately!" ”

As he shouted, hundreds of Han soldiers rushed around at once, some with crossbows, some with bows and arrows.

Lian Zheng and Lian Zixuan couldn't hide, so they hurriedly walked out from behind the stones, waved their hands and said, "Don't ...... Don't get me wrong, we're our own people! ”

As he spoke, Lian Zheng deliberately pulled the red belt on his arm.

Seeing this, the soldiers of the Han army put the weapons in their hands down slightly, and a tun commander stepped forward, looked the two brothers and sisters up and down, and asked, "Name?" ”

"In Xia Lian Zheng, this is Sister Lian Zixuan!"

The Han soldier tun commander was about to report the news, but Xufei walked over, waved his hand to the Han soldiers present, and said, "They are indeed their own people!" ”

Hearing Xufei's words, the assembled Han soldiers put away their weapons one after another, and then bowed to Xufei and dispersed.

Seeing this, Lian Zheng and Lian Zixuan breathed a long sigh of relief in their hearts.

The two of them thanked Xufei and said, "Thanks to General Xufei for arriving in time, otherwise, my brother and sister would not know how to explain." ”

"Ahh

As if he hadn't seen it, Xufei said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty is here!" ”

As he spoke, he walked over.

Lian Zheng and Lian Zixuan involuntarily shrunk their necks.

The two followed Xufei, and after walking a few steps, another Jianghu man was pulled out of the corpse, he was pressed to the ground by several Han soldiers, and a military marquis stepped forward, pulled out the ring head knife under the ribs, and slashed at the neck of the Jianghu man, the headless corpse was still kneeling on the ground, and the head on the neck had been rolled out for a long time.

Not leaving a single mouth alive, not letting go of a fish that slipped through the net, this is the order that the soldiers of the Han army received before the battle began.

Lian Zheng and Lian Zixuan glanced at each other, their faces were pale, beads of sweat dripped down their cheeks, and the clothes behind them were soaked with cold sweat.

Although their brother and sister have taken refuge in Liu Xiu, who knows if his two brothers and sisters will get the same fate as other Jianghu people.

The two of them followed Xufei, and when they saw Liu Xiu, the latter was squatting on the ground, feeding beef with black hair sauce, while Liu Zhang stood up with Geng Yi, Gai Yan, and Cho Qi, exchanging combat experience with a river of mouths, and gesturing with their hands and feet from time to time.

"Grass people, see Your Majesty!"

Lian Zheng and Lian Zixuan arrived in front of Liu Xiu, knelt on the ground, and bowed forward.

Liu Xiu patted the top of Hei Mao's head, then stood up, took the handkerchief from Luo You's hand, and wiped the sauce and blood stains remaining on his palm.

Then, he looked at Lian Zheng's brothers and sisters, smiled peacefully, and said: "This time, our army can completely annihilate these thieves, Lian Zheng and Lian Zixuan, your brother and sister, you are indispensable, what reward do you want, just say it!" ”

"The grass people don't dare, it is a blessing for my brothers and sisters to be able to do things for His Majesty and serve the court!"

Lian Zheng spoke, and kowtowed forward again.

"Huh! You can talk! ”

I haven't said I'm going to use you yet, but you've put yourself on the side of the court first.

The smile in Liu Xiu's eyes deepened a little.

He doesn't hate greedy people, but is a little jealous of people who are not greedy, like Yan Guang, who has no desires and wants nothing, how can you impress him and let him do things for you?

"This time, you can betray your companion, and next time, you can betray me in the same way, am I right?"

Hearing Liu Xiu's words, Liu Zhang's eyes froze, he poked the halberd on the ground, held the sword in his hand, and walked towards the two brothers and sisters.

At the same time, the surrounding Yu Linlang also surrounded him.

Lian Zixuan knelt on the ground and hurriedly kowtowed forward, her body trembling slightly.

Lian Zheng didn't raise his head at all, and kept kowtowing.

He didn't think about it, and immediately said, "Your Majesty has misunderstood, they have never been the companions of the grass people. ”

"Oh?"

Liu Xiu raised his chin to Liu Zhang, who owed, stopped, and stood not far from Lian Zheng and Lian Zixuan, holding the saber but did not let it go.

The surrounding Yu Lin Lang also stopped in unison.

"The grass people and these Longxi Jianghu people, some of them have several faces, and some of them are ignorant and have no deep friendship, and they all have a sect, the grass people and the sisters are no sects, and they can't get into their eyes on weekdays, let alone come to make friends with the grass people's brothers and sisters, and I hope Your Majesty Mingjian!"

"There is no door and no faction, this is in the rivers and lakes, it is a bit like a lonely ghost!"

"Exactly!"

"Get up, you two!"

Liu Xiu waved his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not being blamed!"

Lian Zheng understood that His Majesty's 'get up', and he and his little sister came back after a circle outside the ghost gate.

He kowtowed forward with a trembling voice, and then got up with Lian Zixuan.

"This time, your brother and sister have indeed made great contributions, Lian Zheng."

"The grass people are here!"

"Do you want to make a career in the Chinese army, or do you want to be a guard in the palace?"

Liu Xiu asked in a calm tone.

If you make meritorious contributions in the army, you will undoubtedly be promoted quickly, but at the same time, the danger is also great, and you may stand on the battlefield at any time and go down the battlefield horizontally.

He is not afraid of death, but after he dies, he will leave his little sister alone, who will take care of him?

After thinking about it, Lian Zheng said: "Your Majesty, the grass people want to be a guard in the palace. ”

Before Liu Xiu could speak, Lian Zixuan immediately answered: "The folk girl also wants to enter the palace and serve Your Majesty!" ”

When Lian Zheng heard this, he was quite surprised, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at his little sister.

At this time, although Lian Zixuan was afraid, her attitude was very resolute, and her eyes were also very firm.

Liu Xiu pondered for a moment and said, "Lian Zheng, you join the Tiger Ben Army and serve as the team leader."

Lian Zixuan, you entered the palace as a palace maid. ”

The captain is the captain, and he governs fifty people.

The official is not big, but the starting point is high enough.

The county army is above the county soldiers, the Beijing division army is above the county army, the five school armies are above the Beijing division army, and the Yulin and Huben armies are above the five school armies.

To be an officer in the Tiger Army, even if it's just a small team leader, I don't know how many powerful children squeeze their heads! Lian Zheng didn't say a word, knelt down again, kowtowed to Liu Xiu and said, "Villain, thank you, Your Majesty Longen!" ”

The small team rate is not a courtier in front of Liu Xiu.

Lian Zixuan also blessed herself and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen!" ”

Liu Xiu waved his hand to the two of them and said, "Lian Zixuan, during this time, you will stay by Ling Lu's side!" ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! ”

Even Zixuan didn't know who Liu Xiu was talking about, but when Liu Xiu spoke, she had to agree.

After dealing with the matter of Lian Zheng and Lian Zixuan, Liu Xiu turned his eyes, looked at Liu Zhang, and asked with a smile: "Tonight, the king of Taiyuan can be angry." ”

"Uncle made fun of his nephew."

Liu Zhang's face turned red, and after a while, he said indignantly: "It's a pity that Jin Dan is not here tonight, and my nephew can't kill the enemy!" ”

Liu Xiu snorted out laughing and said, "Even if Jin Dan is here, I can't let you have a blade!" ”

Because before you, there was me! Liu Zhang was about to speak, but Liu Xiuyang raised his head and said, "Okay, Zhang'er, go down the mountain with your uncle." ”

"Whoa!"

Liu Zhang responded, walked a little back next to Liu Xiu, smiled all over his face, and asked a little flatteringly: "Uncle, how is my nephew's performance this time?" ”

Feeling that he had won a small battle, this kid was a little fluttery, Liu Xiu said casually with an expressionless face: "It's okay." ”

"It's just okay...... Liu Zhang swallowed his saliva and said: "Uncle, my nephew has always been ...... to join the army" As soon as he started to speak, Liu Xiu turned his head and glared at him, and said in a deep voice: "The matter of joining the army, you don't have to mention it again in the future!" ”

"Uncle!"

"I've already thought about it, Zhang Er can go to Pingyin and temporarily take up the position of Pingyin Order."

Liu Xiu said.
