Chapter 337, Battle (5)
Liu Liangzuo carefully flicked a dead man who was pressing on him outward, revealing a gap, but no bright sky light leaked out - it was already dark. Liu Liangzuo listened carefully to the surrounding movements www.biquge.info the surroundings, the surroundings were very quiet, and the chirping of various grass insects could be heard. This chirp made Liu Liangzuo feel particularly relieved, because these sounds seemed to indicate that there was no one nearby.
Liu Liangzuo pushed away the corpse that was pressing on him again. It was the corpse of a rogue, who had been killed in the morning. When Liu Liangzuo saw the cavalry roaring towards him at noon, he was so frightened that his soul almost flew away. At that time, he didn't care much, and galloped away with his horse.
When it comes to escape skills, Liu Liangzuo doesn't know how high he is than Huang Degong. He first took advantage of the fact that one of the cavalrymen did not react, and pushed him off his horse, and then rode his own horse while the other hand led the cavalryman's horse at a gallop. After a while, when the horse under his crotch was no longer able to run, he changed to the horse without slowing down, and began to throw away anything that could weigh him down—cloaks, weapons, armor, helmets, bows and arrows, and so on. Originally, the armor was not easy to take off, not to mention on a galloping warhorse, or on flat ground, and if there was no one to help, it would not be easy to take off the armor on your own. But the armor of Liu Liangzuo, who is quite experienced, was specially modified by him, and it was much easier to take it off, as long as he took out the dagger and cut off a few key belts, he would fall by himself. Of course, after cutting the belt, the dagger was also thrown away by Liu Liangzuo.
However, Liu Liangzuo knew that even so, his horse could not outrun the pursuers behind, and in order to cut off more heads, he and his men chased too hard, and now his horse was very tired. Fortunately, there is a forest in front of the endless road, which can slightly block the view. And just behind the woods, Liu Liangzuo remembered that there were still a lot of headless corpses - all of them had just been cut down.
As soon as he turned the corner, Liu Liangzuo didn't care about lowering his horsemanship, so he jumped directly off the war horse, and then rolled in a pool of blood, making him covered in blood, and then lay down in the pile of corpses, dragging two headless corpses and pressing them on his head and body. Looking at him like this, it's easy to see him as a headless corpse. And those cavalrymen who were galloping probably wouldn't notice him.
It's just that there are some situations that Liu Liangzuo can't control. It is true that none of the rogue cavalry stopped to check the corpses, but Liu Liangzuo did not consider this possible use when he escaped in the future, so these corpses were thrown directly on the road. Now when pretending to be a corpse, Liu Liangzuo can only lie on the road and pretend to be a corpse, although he has worked hard to fall to the side of the road, but there is still a horse's hoof that naturally stepped on his calf, Liu Liangzuo himself heard the clicking sound when the calf was broken.
A good Liu Liangzuo, gritted his teeth, and continued to remain motionless like a corpse. Of course, this hoof was not the last hoof Liu Liangzuo was stepped on, and after a while, the palm of his right hand was also stepped on fiercely. This guy was almost more painful than the last time, and even the determined Liu Liangzuo couldn't help but shudder. Fortunately, none of the galloping cavalry noticed.
Fortunately, the corpse that pressed on him protected his most critical positions. The cavalry ran over, but Liu Liangzuo remained motionless, as if he was really dead.
It was already late at night, and Liu Liangzuo pushed away the corpse that was pressing on him and sat up very hard. His left calf was broken, and his right hand was broken, and the hoof that stepped on the palm of his right hand broke off the metacarpal bone of his right hand. So Liu Liangzuo could barely stand up. By the light of the moon, he touched a long stick with a sharpened end on the ground. This is the weapon used by a certain corpse next to him, and now Liu Liangzuo uses it as a crutch, relying on his support, and stands up with great difficulty.
Liu Liangzuo shifted his weight to the crutch, raised his head to look at the stars, and discerned the direction. He knew that whether he was going to Tongcheng or Fengyang now, it would be easy to encounter the army of rogues, but he was afraid that it would be a dead end.
Liu Liangzuo limped in the southeast direction, walked for a while, and then found a pile of dead people to sit down and rest. In this way, in case something happens, it is more convenient to pretend to be dead. When it was almost dawn, Liu Liangzuo sat down to rest next to a pile of dead people. Suddenly, I heard something coming from in front of me. Liu Liangzuo didn't think much about it, didn't say a word, fell on the spot, and pretended to be dead again. After a while, Liu Liangzuo felt as if something was touching his leg. But he still kept his eyes closed and didn't move. After a while, he suddenly felt a pain in his leg, as if someone had clamped his leg with a large pair of pliers, and was pulling hard. Liu Liangzuo opened his eyes a little stunned, but saw that it was a few wild dogs, one of which was biting his leg and dragging it back, and the others were also whining and whispering around him, through the moonlight, Liu Liangzuo could see their red eyes and salivating mouths.
In these chaotic years, there are dead people everywhere. So, everywhere there are wild dogs that eat carcasses for a living. Liu Liangzuo kicked his leg suddenly, and the dog was startled, and jumped to the side, but did not run away, but stopped there and continued to stare at him with red eyes. Several other dogs also gathered around.
Liu Liangzuo grabbed the stick, swept it in all directions, drove away some of the dogs that came around, and then propped the wooden stick on the ground and struggled to stand up. The dogs didn't bark, but gathered around again without a sound. Liu Liangzuo pointed the tip of the stick at the one closest to him, and then stabbed it forward, trying to force it out of the way. It's just that one of his legs is broken, and his usual right hand has been trampled by the horse's hooves again, and he can only use his left hand to control the stick, so his movements are far less crisp than normal. The dog dodged the blow with ease with a slight flash.
This blow not only did not frighten the group of wild dogs, but it somewhat exposed his weakness at this time. If Zheng Sen saw this scene, it is estimated that he would immediately think of the ancient sentence he learned when he was in middle school: "The donkey is not angry, and the hoof is not angry." ”
Liu Liangzuo's state at this time is really a bit like the donkey of Qianzhi who kicked the tiger's hooves. After this weak attack, several dogs rushed forward as if encouraged, whining and whispering, and Liu Liangzuo was bitten on his foot again if he didn't pay attention. Liu Liangzuo knew that the time had come to be extremely dangerous. If this continues, he, the dignified commander-in-chief, will be eaten by a pack of wild dogs. So he didn't care if he would be discovered by the night patrol of the rogues, and shouted loudly for help, and at the same time waved the stick in his hand more vigorously, while looking around, trying to find a big tree that he could lean on and cover his back.
There is really such a big tree not far away, with a thick trunk, two people can't hold it, leaning on it, Liu Liangzuo can protect his back well, and he doesn't have to worry about the attack from behind.
Glancing at the big tree again, Liu Liangzuo concentrated all his strength and swept the wooden stick in his hand fiercely. The stick cut through the air and made a "woo" sound. Several dogs were forced away a little by this stick. Liu Liangzuo took advantage of this opportunity to withdraw the stick, hit the ground a little, and jumped towards the tree. As long as he reached the edge of the tree, as long as he leaned against the tree, Liu Liangzuo felt that he had a chance to support it. And those wild dogs, when they want to eat meat all over the ground, they are not necessarily really willing to fight with themselves for the freshness of the meat.
Several dogs also followed, Liu Liangzuo sped up, and the life-saving tree was in front of him. At this moment, Liu Liangzuo's leg was suddenly tripped by a tree root that was exposed to the ground. This is also normal, although there is a moon on this night, but the night is night after all, and in the panic, it is also normal to not see the roots of the trees that are exposed to the ground. So Liu Liangzuo fell to the ground normally, but the time of the fall was too unfortunate. What's even worse is that after falling, the wooden stick in Liu Liangzuo's hand also fell.
Fortunately, the stick didn't fall far, and you could reach out and grab it. Liu Liangzuo's first reaction was to reach out and touch the stick, however, those wild dogs moved faster than him. Just as his hand was about to reach the stick, there was a sharp pain in his leg, and the stick suddenly retreated, a little farther away from him, just out of his reach. The wooden stick obviously wouldn't back down on its own, but a dog bit Liu Liangzuo's leg with a bite and dragged him back.
At the moment of life and death, Liu Liangzuo didn't care about the severe pain in his right hand and left leg, and struggled to crawl forward, wanting to get the wooden stick back. But several more dogs pounced on him, bit him with their mouths, and dragged him backwards together. Although Liu Liangzuo tried his best, he couldn't match the strength of so many dogs, and he was dragged farther and farther away from the wooden stick. More dogs came up, biting their legs and biting their hands, Liu Liangzuo couldn't struggle. Fortunately, after all, it was only a wild dog that ate him, not an authentic predator, so no dog would use a fatal trick such as locking his throat, which gave Liu Liangzuo the opportunity to shout for help.
"Brother Zhang, what kind of voice are you listening to?" One of the rogue cavalrymen said to another cavalryman next to him. Although it was already the second half of the night, Li Dingguo's night was still active. Li Dingguo wanted to gather those cannon fodder as much as possible, and then take them to Fengyang according to Zhang Xianzhong's order. Or, reorganize them to surround Tongcheng, and then have people bring letters and let the Eight Kings bring the main force back. Now that Tongcheng's defense has been greatly weakened, it may be much easier to take Tongcheng than to take Fengyang.
"It looks like someone is shouting for help. Go over and take a look. That "Brother Zhang" said.
The cavalry easily found Liu Liangzuo, and when they saw many cavalry approaching, these wild dogs fled to the side one after another, and then stood not far away, and continued to look this way.
"Brother Zhang" jumped off the horse, walked to Liu Liangzuo's side, and looked down at him condescendingly. Liu Liangzuo was covered in wounds, bleeding constantly, and his nose was bitten off by a wild dog. It's just that he is still shouting "help" in a muffled voice...... Help me. ”
The cavalryman who first heard his cry for help also came over, glanced at him and said, "I guess it's not saved, Brother Zhang, give him a good time!" ”
Brother Zhang nodded, pulled out the waist knife from his waist, and was ready to start.
"Don't ...... Don't ......" Liu Liangzuo still kept his senses, "I'm Liu Liangzuo, the chief soldier, don't kill me!" I'm Liu Liangzuo, the chief soldier! ”
"What is he talking about?" Brother Zhang said. Liu Liangzuo's nose was bitten off, so his voice was not very clear.
"I'll listen to ......," said the cavalryman.
"I'm Liu Liangzuo, the chief soldier, don't kill me! I'm Liu Liangzuo, the chief soldier! Liu Liangzuo still understood their words, and hurriedly shouted.
"It seems like he's saying he's Liu Liangzuo." The cavalryman said.
"I guess that's what I said." "Brother Zhang" said.
"Then take him back and hand him over to the second general to deal with."
Several cavalrymen lifted Liu Liangzuo up and brought him back.
