Chapter 90: Goodbye Ruri
"Why are you kid back? Didn't you run quickly? Xu Zizhen was angry and anxious, the current situation was quite unfavorable, and even if Li Meng came back, the two of them would die together.
Li Meng stubbornly raised his head: "The big deal is death, anyway, if you want to leave me, you can't do it!" ”
Now there is no room for redemption, Xu Zizhen said with a smile: "That's a good thing, it's a big deal to die!" In this case, let's kill enough money, and save the province of regret when we get the Lord of Yama! As he spoke, he raised his knife and slashed through the throat of a pursuer.
Trapped in the place of death, there is only a battle against the water, Xu Zizhen can't care about anything else at this time, just gritted his teeth and fought fiercely, since the armor can't be cut, then aim to cut the neck, and Li Meng has already discovered this, only piercing the throat and face door with a pistol in his hand, and occasionally hitting people with flying stones only according to the bridge of the other party's nose.
This place is quite far away from the battlefield, the surrounding area is remote and quiet, and only here is the sound of killing.
Xu Zizhen and Li Meng were like two trapped beasts in a cage, roaring and making a series of moves, although the chasing soldiers were killed by them, but they were better than a few people, and the equipment was excellent, so they were not in a hurry, but they surrounded them and slowly consumed their physical strength, with disdain in their eyes.
With a snort, Li Meng was unprepared and was stabbed on the back by a chasing soldier, and suddenly blood gushed out, instantly dyeing half of his clothes red, Xu Zizhen was in a hurry, and wanted to rush over to help, but he was helplessly surrounded by more than a dozen people here, and he couldn't pull out at all.
Damn, is Lao Tzu really going to die here?
The two of them gradually lost their physical strength, and they were about to die on the spot, at this moment, suddenly there was a clear cry not far away, and a swift pale green figure flew down from the mountain, and they had already rushed to the nearest place in a few ups and downs, and with a wave of their hands, the two pursuers surrounding Xu Zizhen suddenly let out a miserable scream, covering their faces and falling off the horse.
The figure had broken in in a flash, a long sword in his hand was clear, and in a flash of cold light, a pursuer fell off the horse with a sword in his throat, and then he raised his hand, and two pursuers covered their faces and fell off the horse.
Xu Zizhen didn't have time to see who it was, but he heard the man scold: "Xu Zizhen, you reckless man, why do you always do such dangerous things?" ”
Hey? Know me? Xu Zizhen took the time to look at it and was stunned.
It was a graceful woman, wearing a pale green dress, holding a three-foot green edge and dancing between the pursuers, her face was extremely pretty, her lips were like cherry eyes, and she was actually the Oiran of the red-sleeved move-Liuli.
Since that time in Suzhou City besieged, he has never seen Liuli, nor has he ever heard of her, these days he has not been less worried about her, but Xu Zizhen never expected to see her in the northwest border outside the mountains and rivers, and it is still at this juncture.
Xu Zizhen exclaimed in surprise and joy: "Liuli girl! How could it be you? ”
Liuli glanced at him angrily: "If I hadn't arrived here today, I'm afraid you would have lost your life!" ”
The two of them shot while talking but did not stop, Liuli's swordsmanship is elegant and fast, unpredictable, and the figure is even more graceful and light, there is always a chasing soldier who falls to the ground and dies when he waves his hand, Xu Zizhen has not seen her true strength until now, and can't help but secretly say: This girl is deeply hidden!
With Liuli's help, Xu Zizhen suddenly felt that the pressure was greatly reduced, and several people around him quickly ran to Li Meng's side with a knife, and said hurriedly: "Xiao Meng, how are you?" ”
Li Mengpu picked out another person with one shot, and grinned: "Uncle, I have nothing to do!" Didn't you say I could be a general? If I don't have any injuries on my body, how can I convince people in the future? ”
Xu Zizhen saw that there was already blood behind him, but he still insisted on pretending to be innocent, and couldn't help but be angry and funny: "Stinky boy, how many times do you want me to say it to understand?" If you lose your life, you can still be a bullshit general! ”
But when he said that, he was still distressed, and with a loud roar and a knife, he cut off all the people around Li Meng, so that the little guy could rest for a while.
The team of pursuers originally thought that the victory was in their hands, but on the way, they suddenly killed a trip to bite the gold, and they were immediately caught off guard, and they had already broken nearly half of the men and horses in just a moment, but the Xixia people were fierce and brave and ruthless, and rarely easily surrendered defeat, so although they knew that they were not on the same level as the enemy, they still besieged them like crazy.
……
When Jincheng was closed, Wen Chengyan quietly looked at the black and oppressive Western Xia army outside the gate, his face sank like water, and he couldn't see any emotion. The sudden attack of the Tangut people caught him a little off guard, and he had to know that he had only been in Lanzhou for less than a month, and he had not even done a good job of running-in communication with subordinate officials, so he had to face a menacing army of 100,000.
A team of soldiers and horses of the Xixia people has been lined up in front of the pass, and a military general has been scolding for a long time in front of the battle with a big sword, but Wen Chengyan only turned a deaf ear, let him scold, and thought hard about the best way to retreat from the enemy.
"Lord Wen, it's better to retreat to the city first, Jincheng Pass is too thin and difficult to hold!"
The one who spoke was a middle-aged officer, he was the head of the Ma Bu Army of the Lanzhou garrison, surnamed Meng's name and the word festival, he was cautious in his life, he had been a defender in Lanzhou for so many years, and had dealt with the Xixia soldiers and horses many times, so he naturally knew that the road was powerful, and now the 20,000 former troops of the Western Xia have been pressed to the front of the pass, and he said this is not greedy for life and afraid of death, but purely from a military point of view.
Wen Chengyan shook his head, how could he not know that Jincheng could not be guarded? Even he had already prepared to retreat to Lanzhou, but the time of this retreat was different from sooner or later, and he would retreat as soon as the Xixia people came, which would definitely affect the morale of the whole army, so he had to wait, and he had to try to hold this pass for a period of time, so as to wait for the Deshun army to come to help.
Meng Du was just about to persuade again, but suddenly his eyes froze, and he looked at the distance and said in a lost voice: "Why did the camp of the Xixia people catch fire?" ”
Wen Chengyan followed his line of sight and saw billowing black smoke rising from the rear of the Western Xia army, which was unobstructed on this desolate and wide ground.
"This ......" Wen Chengyan couldn't help but be stunned, it was impossible for the Xixia Houying to start such a big fire for no reason, could it be that someone did it on purpose? But who is it?
At this moment, I only heard someone come to report: "My lord, Captain Jin asks to see!" ”
Wen Chengyan was stunned again, Captain Jin was Jin Yuxi, but didn't he go to send a letter for help? How could it be possible to come back so soon?
"Let him come up!"
After a while, Jin Yuxi strode to the gate, and said anxiously: "My lord, Xu Zizhen went to the Western Xia Houying alone to set fire to the enemy, and at this time I am afraid that I have fallen into the Xia people's encirclement, and please send someone to rescue you quickly!" ”
Wen Chengyan's eyes widened in surprise, and he lost his voice: "You...... Who are you talking about? Xu Zizhen? ”
