Chapter 964: Winning or Losing with One Sword

Liu Ju, who grew up in the deep palace since he was a child, has never faced such a scene today although he has experienced several crises in the past years.

Countless fierce men with swords and bows and crossbows swarmed in from outside the courtyard gate and the walls. At a distance of more than ten zhang, you can feel the murderous aura coming to your face. Although this is not a vast battlefield, everything that happens in this courtyard is particularly thrilling.

As an emperor, he finally witnessed with his own eyes what is the lore of a famous general! In the half hour that his eyes were wide and he couldn't take his eyes off it, the distance from the hall to the courtyard gate became the Shura battlefield.

Every iron arrow shot by the Great Yellow Bow takes away a life. Those who died were killed by a single blow, and there was absolutely no chance of resurrection. When Li Guang showed his true strength, there was almost no one in this world who could stop him. Emperor Liu Ju finally understood Emperor Wen of Han's words of praise that spread all over the world.

"Li Guang is talented, unparalleled in the world"! Definitely lives up to its name.

However, this courtyard at the northern foot of Zhongnan Mountain is not the battlefield of the storm after all. Li Guang, who is already in his seventies, is no longer the invincible flying general of the year. Although the big yellow bow is powerful, when the strength of the person is finally exhausted, the arrows in the pot will eventually be shot.

And the enemies who rushed in not only did not fear retreating, but were all stimulated by the death scene in front of them. Under the control of extreme fear, people either become frightened or become more crazy. And these people who came over one after another under Liu Zuoche's urging obviously belong to the latter.

The veteran who has shot dozens of people in a row has a grim face, although the power of the big yellow bow is powerful, but such a hard bow is the most exhausting strength. However, at this moment, he didn't care about the numbness of his arms, and when he reached out and took three more arrows from the quiver, his heart moved, the quiver was empty, and there was not much iron arrow left.

At this moment, a wisp of cold wind blew in his face, and the deadly crossbow bolts pierced the air from the darkness on the opposite side, and came straight to his vital point. Hearing Emperor Liu Ju's loud exclamation, Li Guang did not dodge sideways, because he was afraid that if he dodged, he might hurt the emperor who was protecting him.

Angry, Li Guang only moved slightly, dodging the fatal part of his throat, and the crossbow arrow shot directly into his left shoulder. The strength is so great that it almost goes deep into the bones.

The veteran staggered for a moment, but gritted his teeth and said nothing. Seeing that he was injured, Liu Ju couldn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked repeatedly.

"How is General Lee's injury? Come in and take shelter! ”

Li Guang shook his head. He threw the rhubarb bow down the steps and drew his sword. Endured the severe pain of the wound, and said to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, stand back! Although the veteran has injured one arm and can no longer defend himself against the enemy with a bow, he still has a sword! These little people don't want to go forward! ”

Before the words fell, he suddenly heard someone at the corner of the courtyard wall sneering: "Li Guang, old man, you are really strong!" Do you think you can change everything tonight with your own strength? It's really wishful thinking, and I can't do it myself! ”

Without the threat of the Flying Arrow, the attacker no longer has any scruples. Hundreds of sturdy men rushed in, eyeing each other, and pressed over step by step. And for the head of the long knife

The laugher was none other than Liu Zuoche, one of the main conspirators of this rebellion.

Liu Zuoche's knife is very long, and as a noble son of the clan, he has never experienced the battlefield. But the ruthlessness in his bones is innate. Once on this path of no return to killing, his bloodthirsty nature is fully exposed. The hundred and ten people who died under his sword tonight, he did not feel the slightest cruelty. In his mind, on the road to success, blood is needed. Even if it is tens of thousands of deaths, it should be.

Now, he has been sure that the emperor Liu Ju, who escaped from Chang'an, is in this courtyard. As long as you get rid of Li Guang who is in the way, killing or capturing this emperor alive is just Raul raising his hand! Therefore, there is no power that can stop the burning heart shared by Liu Zuoche and his subordinates. For this goal, God blocks and kills God, and Demon blocks and kills demons!

The night was long, the dawn was still early, and it was the darkest time. The moon was gone, and the stars were all hidden in the depths of the firmament. In the distance, the roar of a tiger and wolf could be heard in the mountains and forests. Li Guang crossed his sword in one hand, and under the dim light and torches, he scanned hundreds of murderers with extremely contemptuous eyes, and his chest was not only fearless, but arrogant. He looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Hahaha! Thieves dare! If it was ten years ago, it would have been all the time! Li Guang is here tonight, if you want to hurt Your Majesty, you can exchange your life for it! ”

After Li Guang finished speaking, he did not hesitate. He finally glanced back at the emperor Liu Ju with tears on his face, and without saying anything more, he directly used his sword to cut down the door mechanism, and the heavy door of the hall fell, isolating the inside and outside. And he stood on the long steps, shouted, waved his long sword, fought in all directions at night, and strangled with the dead soldiers who surrounded him on three sides.

The hall, which was cut off from all light, plunged into boundless darkness as far as the eye could see. And the emperor who was protected here by Li Guang with his last strength, listening to the tsunami-like fighting sound of the mountains outside, his heart seemed to be boiling and tumbling in a frying pot, and he was almost suffocated in discomfort.

If he had known that he would pay such a tragic price in the end, he would never have chosen to go out of Chang'an at night. Now, it's too late to regret everything. So many people have sacrificed their lives to protect themselves, and even the veteran Li Guang is probably in danger. And I don't know what the situation in the Weiyang Palace is, if it is inevitable to die in the hands of the rebels in the end, then it is better to stay in the palace and die with the queen mother! It's just that even this is no longer available, it's just a luxury.

Liu Ju leaned against the door of the sealed hall in despair, and he couldn't help but be frightened when he listened to the sound of swords fighting outside. He even very much hopes that the veteran will stop fighting hard, and if he can fight his way and escape with his own life, he will not blame him at all. But Liu Ju clearly felt that Li Guang was still standing in his original position, firmly guarding this entrance with the sword in his hand and his tenacious will. No step back from start to finish!

When the dead men who pounced on him were all killed at the bottom of the stairs, the veteran took a deep breath, and he struggled to stand up straight, swallowing the blood that poured up his throat. No one knew that behind his majestic figure, there were already thousands of holes and scars.

I don't know when, the half-quarter moon broke through the clouds again, and the bleak moonlight shrouded again

Mountains and forests near and far. There was a moment of silence in this small battlefield. The rebels, whose footsteps were stained with the blood of their companions, stared at the man who occupied the high stairs with a sword with complicated expressions of nervousness. Tonight, they finally understood the origin of the title of the world's famous generals.

In half an hour, from the gate of the courtyard wall to the front of the steps of the hall, nearly 100 people had died in Li Guang's hands. Corpses littered the courtyard. And under the bluestone steps, those severed knives, stumps, and dead heads are even more shocking and chilling.

Liu Zuoche, who commanded everyone to attack, had a dark face, as heavy as this night. Although he knew that Li Guang was very powerful, he also made certain psychological preparations before making up his mind to eradicate him together. But when it was time to really fight to the death, he and many people were surprised to find that the veteran who was already in his prime-old could be so perverted.

With the strength of one person, he could defend the square inch of the entrance of the hall, and hundreds of armor-clad and sharp-edged soldiers could not take a single step. It's understandable if this is on a real battlefield. But in such an ordinary courtyard, one has to wonder if everything that happened in front of you is real!

"Now that we have reached the point where we are now, all of us, like the clan relatives in Chang'an, have no way to retreat, the emperor is inside, as long as we kill him, our plan will definitely be successfully completed. When the time comes, the new emperor, who is supported by all the clans, will not forget anyone who has contributed to this. So, no matter what the cost is tonight, you must rush in! If you want endless glory and wealth, you can only fight here! ”

The long knife was raised, cold as ice. All the dead men responded in unison, roaring loudly and angrily and pounced again. Liu Zuoche, who gave the final order, led thirty or forty of the most powerful swordsmen to rush ahead of everyone. He could see clearly in the lights that although Li Guang's divine power was undiminished, he was already at the end of his crossbow, and he was bound to win the honor of cutting off the head of this world-famous general with his own hands!

When the tide of murderous aura swept into the ground again, the long knife and sword stabbed out sparks again, and from the gap in the hall desperately opened his eyes to look at the emperor Liu Ju outside, he wanted to close his eyes and force himself not to see the impending tragedy. But there was nothing he could do!

It is only at such a moment that he regrets that he has no power to restrain the chicken. If he had a knife in his hand and could kill people, he would definitely jump out without hesitation, even if he died with all his strength, it would be better than being tormented by conscience like this.

In the light of the swords colliding violently, Liu Ju watched as the veteran who protected him was slashed several times by the besiegers from all directions. Finally, like the heavy figure of Cangshan, he staggered a few steps, and his back hit the wall of the hall door. The emperor's eyes darkened, his face felt warm and viscous, he closed his eyes in pain, and knew in his heart that this was the hot blood spurted from Li Guang's wound.

"Don't show mercy to this old horseman!"

Liu Ju heard this cold and cruel order. He wanted to yell "stop"! However, these two simple words choked up in his throat, and he was hoarse and silent when he opened his mouth wide. However, in the next moment, in the blurred eyes of this fallen emperor, he seemed to see the light of lightning suddenly pierce the night sky, and then, the dark world within a radius of a hundred zhang was boiling!
