"Someone seems to be blocking the way!" The samurai Tong shouted at Li Xu on horseback. His family is wealthy, but his background is not deep enough. In the "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger" food protection army, only a young man was mixed in. Because of his close relationship with Li Xu and Liu Hongji, after Liu and Li were promoted, they also took the top position. Only then did Li Xu and Liu Hongji go out of the camp to meet the enemy, and it was thanks to him that they gathered the cavalry of the Tiger Wing Brigade.

"Whoever it is, just rush over!" Another team sent by the Li Mansion was Li Liang, who suggested loudly. As they spoke, the three of them had already rushed through two streets, and saw that fifty steps ahead, more than twenty people wearing Da Sui earthy yellow uniforms blocked the intersection.

"Someone took advantage of the chaos to set fires, and the streets were closed!" A low-ranking officer dressed in the color of a six-rank soldier Cao shouted loudly. I thought that I could stop the future with my official position, but I didn't expect that the person led by the other party was a stunned young man, and the speed of the war horse not only did not decrease at all, but accelerated towards his head.

"Tiger Winged Iron Rider, get out of the way!" Li Xu shook the reins without hesitation and rushed forward, the fire in the direction of Tang Gongfu was getting bigger and bigger, and even if it was a cliff in front of him, he had to step on it. At the moment when his front hooves were about to step on Bing Cao's shoulder, Hei Feng's body took half a step forward, and a man and a horse floated over the opponent's head like a thunderbolt.

"Ahh Bingcao hugged his head in fright and rolled on both sides of the road. Wu Shi Tong and Li Liang followed behind the main general and jumped over him unceremoniously. Seeing this, the other hundred cavalrymen knocked their calves on the horse's belly and rushed behind the brigade leader.

"Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is not finished with you!" The frightened soldier got up from the ground and shouted at the back of the cavalry. After shouting, I remembered the task assigned by my boss temporarily, my legs and feet were sore, and I sat on the side of the road.

These 100 cavalrymen have been trained by Li Xu for more than half a month, and they have a certain tacit understanding with each other. Seeing the Tang Mansion from a distance, he immediately adjusted his speed to form two attack arrays. cooperated with each other and followed Li Xu to approach the head of the fire.

Before and after the Tang Mansion, it had been burned into a sea of fire at this time. Hundreds of black-clad warriors surrounded the palace walls, throwing torches inward as they climbed. Inside the walls of the mansion, from time to time, someone poked his head out and swept down the black-clothed samurai who had climbed halfway to the top with a steel sword. In the blink of an eye, another samurai stepped on the corpse of his companion and crawled towards the wall.

"Draw your sword!" Li Xu shouted the order. The two teams of cavalry drew their swords at the same time, and the three-foot autumn water was dazzling and cold in the firelight.

"Push left and right, scatter them!" Li Xu shouted, flicked his horse's head, and went straight to the enemy army on the left side of the mansion gate. Wu Shi Tong followed him with fifty grain guards, and the other fifty elites were led by Li Liang and rushed towards the enemy's right flank like a whirlwind.

The black-clothed man who attacked the Tang Mansion didn't expect that there would be reinforcements from the other side behind him, and he hurriedly turned around when he heard the sound of horses' hooves, but it was too late to organize a complete defensive formation. The two teams of cavalry rushed to the front in an instant, swords in hand, and cleared a bloody path under the wall.

This is not the first time to kill someone, Li Xu's knife skills have gradually matured. With the speed of the black wind, the scimitar in his hand brought out the characteristics of the blade length to the fullest. Before a man in black could raise a knife, he cut his neck. The second man in black who stood in front of the war horse was rubbed off half of his shoulder with a blade, and the third tried to cut his thigh from the side, but he slapped him in the chest with a scimitar.

"Ahh The man in black screamed and flew out. The chest was full of blood, and red sprinkled all over the bluestone streets. The grain guards who followed behind Li Xu were still a little nervous, but seeing that their own brigade rate was so ruthless, they were also aroused with a murderous aura, stepping on the blood of the enemy, and rushing the gap outside the palace wall bigger and bigger.

The black-clothed men who attacked the Tang Mansion's mansion had to abandon their immediate targets and concentrate to deal with the sudden blow. Dozens of black-clothed people quickly formed a team under the leader's reprimand, and lined up in a knife formation to try to block Black Wind's footsteps.

"Die!" Li Xu roared angrily and pulled the reins hard. The painful black wind let out a "sigh!" With a long hiss, he made a nice side turn in the middle of the gallop. The war horse suddenly changed from rushing to facing the enemy sideways, and without waiting for the man in black to make a correct response, Li Xu leaned out on the horse's back, and the long knife was drawn horizontally.

"Poof!" "Poof!" The felt armor on the two men in black was cut through like paper with a long knife. A gap immediately appeared in the knife formation. Without hesitation, the samurai squeezed in with the cavalry through the gap. The sound of horses' hooves rolled like thunder, and the boiling soup smashed the knife array to smithereens.

Only the foot soldiers with short weapons encountered the cavalry on the flat ground, and they could not exert much strength. The leader of the black-clothed samurai was unwilling to let the cooked duck fly like this, roaring angrily and forcing the samurai to form again. There were only a dozen routs gathered around him, and suddenly, a feather arrow flew from the wall of the mansion and stuck it into his throat impartially.

"Ahh The leader screamed and fell on his back. The samurai rushed forward on horseback, scattered the black-clothed samurai around him, cut off the leader's head with a single sword, grabbed his hair in a bun, and raised it high.

"Tiger Winged Iron Rider, death to those who stand in my way!" Li Xu took the opportunity to shout.

"Tiger Winged Iron Rider, death to those who stand in my way!" The guards shouted in unison. When they were young, they relied on their family background to run rampant in the township, they were once majestic, but they have never been as majestic as they are today.

The man in black couldn't support it for a long time, and at this moment, when he saw the leader's head being raised, his morale immediately collapsed, and he fled in all directions screaming. Li Xu ordered the two teams to gather the soldiers, count the casualties, and then put the horizontal knife in the saddle, clenched his fists and saluted the direction where Fang Cai shot the black-clothed leader with arrows, and shouted: "Brigade leader Li Xu, I am ordered to come to the rescue of Tang Gong!" ”

"Who's beyond the walls?" A torch lit up in the darkness, and Tang Gong Li Yuan stood under the torch, holding a longbow in his hand, and asked in a low voice.

"Tang Gong's account is under the brigade rate Li Xu!" Li Xu replied loudly, turned his horse's head, and ran to a burning fire. The beating flames illuminated his yellow uniform and half of his mantle, stained red with the blood of his enemies.

"Divide into a team to chase and kill the enemy, and a team into the house to put out the fire!" Li Yuan ordered in a deep voice, with no joy or anger on his face.

"Li Liang led his men and horses to chase the enemy, and the warrior Tong led the food protection team into the house to put out the fire!" Li Xu loudly refined Tang Gong's order. When the cavalry heard the order, the whole team was formed, and the team with strong combat effectiveness was led by Li Liang and continued to sweep away the remnants of the enemy outside the palace gate. The other team jumped off their horses and stood in front of Li Yuan's mansion.

At the critical moment, he didn't care about any etiquette, and after a while, the main gate and side door of the Li Mansion opened at the same time, welcoming everyone in. "Hurry up and help put out the fire!" Chief of Staff Chen Yanshou asked in a low voice. It turned out that the guards of the Li Mansion, who were far inferior in numbers, had suffered heavy casualties in the battle just now, and they had no strength to deal with the torches that were deliberately thrown into the house. At this moment, the wind took advantage of the fire and burned most of the mansion into a mountain of flames.

"Shi Tong, tell the brothers to form a group and fetch water to fight the fire!" As soon as he entered the door, Li Xu immediately ordered loudly.

The samurai agreed, threw down the head in his hand, and immediately went to distribute the manpower. The combat effectiveness of this team of grain guards is not strong, but the military appearance is relatively neatly trained by Li Xu. After hearing the order, they quickly divided into teams and looked for furniture and fetched water to extinguish the fire under the leadership of their respective team leaders.

Li Yuan watched silently beside Li Xu assign tasks to his subordinates, and when all the soldiers had dispersed, he held the longbow and asked in a low voice: "How is the granary, but someone is taking advantage of the chaos to sneak attack!" ”

"There weren't many people coming, and they were beaten down by Brother Hongji and his brothers. Although Tang Gong is relieved, the brothers are in order! Li Xu replied in a low voice.

Li Yuan was very pleased to hear the last four words, there was a high wall outside the grain depot and barracks, if the soldiers did not appear chaotic, it would be difficult for a small number of enemy troops to create any major disasters. Just about to ask for the details of the grain depot, he suddenly heard a scream, and the little boy Yuanji ran from the backyard in a disgraced manner.

"Dad, hurry, save the second sister. The west courtyard, the fire is big, blocked, the door is blocked! Li Yuanji flattened his mouth and spoke incoherently. A few words, but it shook Li Yuan like thunder, and the longbow supporting his arm "clicked" and broke into two.

Li Xu looked up and already understood what was going on. The West Cross Courtyard must be the residence of the female dependents, and the second sister in Yuan Ji's mouth must be Li Wan'er who cheered for herself that day. The dead soldiers of the Li Mansion focused their attention on the surroundings of Tang Gong, but the defense of the cross-courtyard had to be greatly weakened. And the enemy took advantage of the fact that the torches thrown in by the enemy were not disposed of in time, causing an even greater disaster there.

"Firefighting, firefighting!" Li Yuan shouted in panic, and with the guards who could still walk, he rushed west across the courtyard. ran into the courtyard, and his footsteps were forced back by the fire. Several of the houses used by the women were burned to the point that they could collapse at any moment, killing the firefighters and those who were stopped by the fire.

"Wan'er, Wan'er!" Mrs. Dou's shouts were heartbreaking. Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's faces were as black as the bottom of a pot, their hands and bodies were full of traces of smoke and fire, and they organized people to approach the house with their dumb voices. Several of the guards covered each other and tried to rush into the room, but only a few steps forward were forced back by the smoke and flames.

"Mother, don't leave me! Don't leave me! Li Wan'er's voice looked so weak against the backdrop of the beating flames.

"Don't leave me, don't leave me!" A call echoed in Li Xu's ears like thunder. In an instant, his eyes were blood-red. With red eyes, he dropped his scimitar, snatched a wooden bucket from the soldiers, and poured all the water on himself. Then he covered his head with a barrel and rushed headlong into the fire.

"Zhong Jian!" Li Yuan's father and son, who were already desperate, exclaimed loudly. No one expected that when the house was about to burn down, Li Xu was willing to rush into the fire to save people regardless of his life.

The water-soaked cowhide armor was roasted by the fire, giving off a burnt smell of this nose. Li Xu ignored the pain in his hands and feet, and quickly rushed through the flames. The mouth of the barrel darkened slightly, and it followed in front of him. He was overjoyed, knowing that he had rushed into the room alive.

"Who are you?" Li Wan'er, who was desperate, suddenly saw a burning man rushing in front of her, and asked in surprise.

"Li Zhongjian!" Li Xu tore off the wooden barrel on his head and replied loudly. The place where the smoke was coming from the leather armor was quickly extinguished by him, and he looked around, but he couldn't find a place where Li Wan'er could get out.

The urgency of the situation did not allow him to think about it again. grabbed the wooden barrel and put Li Wan'er's head and shoulders in it.

Li Wan'er's body was far smaller than Li Xu's, and the huge wooden barrel was put on it, and half of her body was covered all the time. Immediately, he screamed loudly in fright, crying and begging: "Brother Zhongjian, don't leave me, please, don't leave me!" ”

"Let's go!" Li Xu leaned over, picked up Li Wan'er by the waist, and pulled several sets of bedding in the room that had not yet caught fire, and threw them on the flames one after another. The thick winter bedding immediately crushed the flames of the window. said that it was too late, it was too fast, Li Xu gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, hugged the wooden barrel above his head Li Wan'er, and jumped out.
