Volume 2 Conquest and Killing Chapter 125 Farewell to Righteousness
Xuan Shaoning didn't see the heroic sacrifice of Zhan Thunder with his own eyes, all his energy was focused on dealing with these sand halberds in front of him, the enemy was already not easy to deal with, but after he heard a wolf howl, he suddenly found that the combat effectiveness of the sand halberders before could only be regarded as average, at this moment they had completely become beasts, their eyes emitted green light, revealing the sharpest fangs, they didn't care about their own life and death, and they took the highest criterion of dying with the enemy, and pounced on the soldiers of the Liang Dynasty.
The same is true of the sand halberd soldier in front of Xuan Shaoning, after several battles and the loss of the blade, he knocked down Xuan Shaoning regardless of it, even if the sharp knife has pierced several blood holes in his body, he is about to lower his mouth when he aims at Xuan Shaoning's neck, if he is not stuck in his throat, the fangs would have killed the Liang Dynasty man in front of him.
Xuan Shaoning pinched the jaw of the halberd soldier with one hand, and the other hand was free to continue to stab his body with a dagger, as more and more blood was lost, the halberd soldier gradually became unable to support it, but he still had to fight to the death in the end, breaking the hand that blocked him, after losing resistance, Xuan Shaoning turned his head to the other side for the first time, and the last bite of the halberd soldier was on the snow, and then he never moved again.
Death passed by again, Xuan Shaoning didn't have time to rejoice, he pushed away the corpse of the halberd soldier, and got up from the snow as fast as he could, what he saw in his eyes was a more bloody scene: on the blood-stained snow, the halberd soldiers and the soldiers of the Liang Dynasty died one-on-one, the halberd soldiers died from the blades, and the soldiers of the Liang Dynasty died from bites, and most of them were killed in one bite. Xuan Shaoning was covered in blood, part of it was his own, and more of it was the enemy's, he looked around blankly, wanting to find a war horse to complete the task, and at the same time trying to find Duan Lang and them.
"Ahh I don't care about you! ”
The bayonet in Xie Yi's right hand was inserted into the body of a halberd soldier, but this halberd soldier died well, he grabbed Xie Yi's hand tightly, making him unable to move, and another sand halberd soldier took the opportunity to jump up and hug the prey, not giving it any chance, although Xie Yi struggled desperately, he was still bitten by the sand halberd soldier on the edge of his neck near the shoulder, his sharp teeth not only bit through the armor, but also penetrated deep into the flesh, this bite hurt Xie Yu shouted.
Xuan Shaoning picked up the blade and rushed to Xie Yi's side, stabbing the sand halberd soldier in the chest with a knife, but he didn't expect this time, he bit harder, and Xie Yi wailed in pain. With his previous experience, Xuan Shaoning understood that the only way was to cut off the head of the sand halberd soldier, he raised the machete high, and glanced at Xie Yi, and when Xie Yi twisted his head to the maximum, the blade swung down, and the sand halberd soldier was beheaded in unison.
When Xuan Shaoning struggled to tear the head off Xie Yi's shoulder, a piece of flesh and blood was dragged out with armor fragments, and the wound was so deep that Bai Sensen's bones could be seen.
After getting rid of the sand halberd soldier who was holding Xie Yi's right hand, Xuan Shaoning helped Xie Yi to take a closer look at the wounds on his body: a knife wound on his left leg, bleeding from his abdomen, and a bite mark on his right hand, especially the wound on his left shoulder was more fatal. Xie Yi's armor on half of his body could no longer see its original color, but even so, he still pushed Xuan Shaoning away with force.
"Xie Yi!"
"Captain Xuan, the breakthrough is now!"
"I can't leave you alone!"
"Then you can't leave behind thousands of troubled brothers!"
Needless to say, Xuan Shaoning knew that the Xuanjia military robes were still struggling to support, and he was their hope, but ...... Xie Yi was the first brother to die, and he really couldn't bear it.
"Let's go!"
"I can't do it!"
"Shaoning!" Duan Lang and Xing Gang were riding a war horse, and Xing Gang led an empty horse and ran over at the same time, "Let's go!" ”
"Let's go!" Xie Yi stood up with a long knife and roared extremely firmly: "Captain Xuan, we are brothers who can live our lives, and I am content with your affection!" But we are soldiers, and it is our duty to obey military orders, Xing Gang, don't leave quickly! ”
Xing Gang handed the reins to Xuan Shaoning's hand with red eyes, took the reins, Xuan Shaoning trembled and hugged Xie Yi hard, without looking back on the horse and galloping, Xie Yi's figure quickly disappeared into the snow, Duan Lang and Xing Gang followed behind him. Although Duan Lang felt uncomfortable in his heart, he could not understand the heartache of Xuan Shaoning and Xing Gang, they both knew what the fate would be for Xie Yi, as soon as he thought of this, the horsewhip in Xuan Shaoning's hand swung heavier and faster.
At the head of the quiet city wall behind the galloping three escaped war horses, there was a person dressed in armor, and the red cloak behind him was hunting with the wind, he held the wall with one hand, and held the saber with the other, his face was solemn and cold, and no one knew what kind of emotions he was in the face of this ambush battle under the city. The young man in a wheelchair behind him couldn't see his face clearly, he also sat motionless, more like he was listening than the former was looking, listening to the sound of fighting brought by the wind.
Since the signal was released, the battle outside Anzhou City has also been in full swing, and the two armies have come and gone, on a par. Outside the east gate and west gate, the left rank guard and the left guard were fighting fiercely with the enemy, and the south gate guarded by the golden armor guard of the Xuanjia army resisted the most fierce frontal attack of the Tang Dynasty, only the north gate of Lintaoshui was guarded by Quan Guanji with a small number of government soldiers, and at the same time, the people in Anzhou City were also settled, just in case, King Yu sent Si Heng to lead a hundred people and Ling Feiyan's army to support.
The shouts and killings around the city are endless, the people have not seen such a war for a long time, they have huddled together, trembling with fear, some are worried that their hard-earned family business will be destroyed in the war, and more people are afraid that Anzhou will be captured, there were rumors before that the Tang army slaughtered the city after capturing Jiangzhou and no one survived, they did not want such a tragedy to repeat on themselves. The children wept, the ladies sobbed, the old people put their hands together in prayer, and finally a man couldn't help but stand up and say to everyone: "Crying and praying to the Buddha can't help now, we have to do something, if there are still bloody men present, stand up and take up arms with me to defend their homeland!" ”
After the man finished speaking, he looked around, and after a while, finally someone began to stand up slowly, and when he saw someone standing up, more men gradually stood up, although they were still looking forward and backward, but they had gathered twenty people.
"Is that all there is to them?" The man in the lead roared indignantly: "There are so many men, are you all spoiled by the ladies in the family? Or are you going to be a bastard in front of your own children? ”
Stimulated by the words of the leading man, more than a dozen men stood up one after another again, and the leading man saw that no one responded, so he spit out a mouthful of phlegm and said to all the men who got up: "Good job, worthy of being my big beam man!" Let's go, pick up the axe and shovel, let's go find the whole adult and guard Anzhou City with them! ”
Since he led the troops to transfer the people to the north gate, Quan Guanji has not relaxed at all, and the battle on the front line has continued to have heralds reaching his ears, it is obvious that Xia Tang's attack is to take Anzhou City, the Red Tail Army and the Xuanjia Army are the two of the four armies of the Great Liang, and the combat effectiveness is naturally needless to say, but the current battle situation is still stalemate. Quan Guanji, an anxious son, can only keep pacing back and forth, but he is a civil official, a literati who has no power to restrain chickens, and has no other way than to obey King Yu's arrangement.
"My lord, there are people who want to see you!"
"Oh?" Quan Guanji was a little impatient, and couldn't understand what the people were doing at this time, "Let them stay where they are, don't make trouble at this time!" If you don't have enough food, contact Zhang Si to distribute food! ”
"My lord, there are more than 30 men here, all of them holding swords, saying that they want to join the government soldiers and help guard the north gate together!"
"Is there such a thing?" Quan Guanji obviously didn't expect it, he came to the city gate and saw more than 30 strong men, holding sickles, shovels and hoes in their hands, all with serious expressions, seeing Quan Guanji appear, the leading man immediately came out and said: "Quan Lord, we are all hot-blooded men, we can't watch you bloody battlefield, but we are hiding behind, these men behind me are the same as me, volunteering to join you, we will guard Anzhou together!" ”
Quan Guanji looked at some of the shabby-dressed, dark-skinned men in front of him, typical croppers, but he didn't want to say such righteous words, which was really a bit unexpected, but the war was tight, and the enthusiasm of the people could not be erased at this time, so Quan Guanji immediately planned to fulfill them.
"I didn't expect you to have such a mind, it's really my luck! The farm tools in your hands are still put down for the time being, I still have a competent blade here, and I am here to thank you on behalf of the people of Anzhou! ”
After Quan Guanji finished speaking, he bowed half-body, and the croppers immediately blushed, and they were a little unnatural but didn't know what to do, or take the lead to stand up, "Quan is really the parent official of Anzhou!" It's not too polite at this time, and I hope that the adults will let us take action immediately! ”
"Good! Come on, take them down, change into uniforms! ”
