Chapter 41: The Storm in Xuzhou (16)
Under the supervision of the generals, the soldiers raised their swords and guns one after another and surrounded Hui Ze. Hui Ze guarded the entrance of the city gate, standing tall, his face was fearless, he held the iron rod in front of him, and his sharp eyes swept over these soldiers, "If you want to kill yourself, don't blame the little monk for being ruthless!" β
"Kill him!" With a flying spit, the general erupted into a desperate roar.
The soldiers rushed up and rushed towards Hui Ze in unison.
In an instant, a battle with one enemy beganβthe iron rod flew up and down in Hui Ze's hand, unstoppable! Anyone who was touched by this iron rod flew with knives and spears, and flesh and bones were shattered, like a black whirlwind, constantly tearing everything in his way!
The soldiers were driven by the generals, and they rushed towards the city gate one after another. Hui Ze stubbornly held on to his place and did not back down a single step. With the muffled sound of the iron rod slamming on the flesh, soldiers continued to fall, and in front of Hui Ze, there were already about twenty or thirty people prostrate on the ground, piling up a layer of corpses, and the pungent smell of blood rushed up, and the ground was also overflowing with blood, soaking the soles of Hui Ze's shoes.
The iron rod did not slow down at all, and the iron teeth at the end of the stick pulled out long blood streaks, reflecting the red of the demon in the moonlight; And wrapped in this crimson is the heroic posture of Hui Ze's fighting, which shocks the soul of every enemy!
Hui Ze firmly blocked the enemy outside the city gate hole, and inside the city gate hole, Xu Jin and Chen Qingzhi were trying their best to lift the heavy door latch.
Originally, the door latch that could only be lifted by the combined efforts of several people, but at this moment, it is indeed not an easy thing to lift with the strength of two people.
Song Jingxiu, who was outside the door, saw the situation inside through the crack in the door, and was anxious. But through the thick city gate, it couldn't help much, so he could only cheer for Chen Qingzhi and Xu Jin loudly, hoping that they could open the door as soon as possible.
Chen Qingzhi was already lacking in strength, and he was already sweating and panting at the moment, but the latch on his side still didn't move.
And at Xu Jin's end, Hei Lei also came to help his master, using his head under the door latch, arching upwards vigorously, so that the mane on the top of his head was constantly grinding down.
Finally, Xu Jin's latch began to loosen a little, and Xu Jin called out to Chen Qingzhi loudly, "Brother Chen, come over here, bring this side down first!" β
When Chen Qingzhi heard this, he hurriedly came over to help, and the two of them worked together in Song Jingxiu's anxious shouts outside the door, wanting to lift out one end of the latch first.
At the other end, Hui Ze's battle came to an end for the time being - in the face of Hui Ze's bravery, the soldiers were afraid and began to retreat, allowing the generals to shout and scold, and no one dared to take a step forward.
Hui Ze slammed the iron rod on the ground, adjusted his breathing that began to become a little rapid, his body was splashed with blood, and his head and face were stained with blood and sweat, and his cold eyes swept at the soldiers in front of him.
Under the bright moonlight, the blood-soaked Hui Ze was covered with a faint halo, like an Arhat who was subdued by demons, standing majestically and looking at all living beings.
Just as the soldiers were cowering, there was a sudden shout from behind, "What are you ants doing?" β
The soldiers hurriedly retreated to both sides, making way in the middle.
Hui Ze looked at it, and there was a team of mighty cavalry coming in front of him, but judging from their armor and clothing, it was the Wei army! The one who brought them over was Xiao Zong's henchman, Rui Wenpet.
It seems that the advance of the Wei army has arrived, and Pengcheng has fallen into the hands of the Wei army.
He who called the soldiers ants, was a mighty and arrogant military general who rode at the forefront.
Rui Wenzhong followed closely behind, announcing loudly, "The Wei army has entered the city from the north gate, and King Yuzhang will reward the soldiers for their merits, and now wait for you to take down Chen Qingzhi, and you will win a big victory!" β
The general of the Wei army on horseback shook his head and said disdainfully, "I haven't taken a few people for so long, you Liang army are all waste, let's let the Wei army come." β
Rui Wenzhong nodded and said to the generals of the Wei army, "In front is Chen Qingzhi and his two subordinates, then General Lao will take them down." β
After speaking, Rui Wenpet turned to Huize and shouted at them, "Chen Qingzhi, if you know each other, you can quickly tie up your hands, this is the vanguard of the Wei army-General Gu Dahan!" β
"If you want to catch Brother Chen, you have to pass the little monk first!" Hui Ze said loudly with a straight face.
"Is it actually a monk?" Gu Dahan glanced at the pile of corpses in front of Hui Ze, "It seems that I have some ability, but in front of Wei Jun, I don't know if I can still be strong." β
After speaking, Gu Dahan shook his head and made a look, and the two cavalrymen behind him comprehended, urged their horses, raised their spears, and rushed towards Hui Ze with great momentum.
Hui Ze stood still. When the two horses rushed in front of him, he suddenly took a step forward, stretched out the iron rod in his hand, and his eyes widened angrily, "Drinkββ!! "Let out a deafening pop!
The two horses, apparently intimidated by Hui Ze's momentum, suddenly stopped, let out a long neighing of horror, foaming at the mouth, and the man stood upβthe horsemen on the horse were obviously unprepared, and were immediately thrown off their horses.
Seeing this, Gudahan was furious and scolded the two cavalrymen, "Rubbish! Idiot! The distance is so short, and there are corpses on the ground, and they actually charge on horseback, which is a shame for my Great Wei Tieqi! β
"Dismount and fight!" Gudahan ordered.
Immediately, four horsemen jumped off their horses, two with spears and two with steel knives, and then pressed towards Hui Ze.
The two spears stabbed at Hui Ze at the same time, and Hui Ze quickly swept away with his stick, but the two steel knives took the opportunity to get close to Hui Ze from under the spears, and the blades slashed at his body without hesitation.
Hui Ze dodged in a hurry, and just as he dodged the blade, the spear stabbed again.
Obviously, these four Wei soldiers were carefully coordinated, and once Hui Ze's hands and feet began to panic, he would inevitably die under the tip of the gun.
Although he had faced so many Liang troops before, Hui Ze could still deal with their undisciplined attacks; But now these four skillfully coordinated Wei soldiers made Hui Ze dare not be careless at all.
After a few rounds of back and forth, Hui Ze became familiar with the Wei army's attack methods - spears to control distances, steel knives to chop at close range, protect each other, and have both offense and defense.
Another round of new attacks is coming!
However, Hui Ze's response caught his opponent by surprise - facing the direction of the spear, Hui Ze turned sideways and rushed between the two spears!
The four Wei soldiers were stunned! But it was this moment of daze that made them all lose their lives.
The iron rod first struck the heads of the two soldiers with spears, and the force was so fast that even the helmets were cracked. The two soldiers didn't even make a sound, and fell straight to the ground.
The two knife-wielding soldiers were still in astonishment, and the iron rods whistled over, and with two muffled sounds, the two soldiers also fell in a pool of blood.
It all happened so fast! So much so that Gu Dahan was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
"Little bald donkey! Some means! Gu Dahan said through gritted teeth.
At this moment, a heavy muffled sound came from behind Hui Ze - with the concerted efforts of Xu Jin, Chen Qingzhi and Hei Lei, one end of the heavy door latch was finally lifted open!
Song Jingxiu, who was outside the door, saw that one end of the latch was removed, and immediately beckoned the twenty brothers to push up the city gate together. Xu Jin and Chen Qingzhi also worked together to move the latch that was taken down at the end, and the city gate slowly opened!
Pushing to a width large enough for people to pass through, Chen Qingzhi and Xu Jin led the horses through the city gate, and shouted out to Hui Ze, "Hui Ze, come out quickly!" β
Hui Ze turned around and ran quickly towards the city gate, and when Gu Dahan and Rui Wenpet behind saw this, they eagerly urged the soldiers, "Quick!" Don't let them run! β
Huize ran out of the city gate with his front foot, and the pursuers opened the city gate with their back foot, and the cavalry of the Wei army rushed out, and the city gate was open and flat, it was their time to be reckless!
Chen Qingzhi had just mounted their horses and were about to turn around and flee, when the cavalry who rushed to the front had already pounced in front of them, and the spear flashed with cold light.
Song Jingxiu hadn't even mounted his horse at the end of the team, and when he saw the enemy attacking, he suddenly raised his sword, and the blade reflected the moonlight, drawing a silver arc.
The cavalryman who rushed to the front collided head-on with men and horses on this arc light, and suddenly the men and horses were torn apart, and the blood rushed into the air like a volcano that suddenly erupted.
"After I'm here, you guys go quickly!" Song Jingxiu said loudly.
"We can't be surrounded, we will fight and retreat!" Chen Qingzhi shouted.
But the enemy has already rushed up, and it is necessary to engage in hand-to-hand combat!
Everyone tried their best to protect Chen Qingzhi in the center, and stubbornly knocked down the enemies who attacked one after another. Despite the increasing casualties of the enemy, they still poured out of the city gates like a tidal wave.
Of the twenty brothers brought by Song Jingxiu, some of them began to lose their support and fell under the swords and guns of the enemy, although they still fought bravely, but the huge disadvantage in numbers began to slowly appear.
Gu Dahan shouted from behind, urging the soldiers to move forward desperately, seeing that the posture was determined to take down Chen Qingyi and his party.
Song Jingxiu watched the brothers fall one by one, and he knew that if he continued to consume like this, it was only a matter of time before the entire army was wiped out.
"Capture the thief and capture the king first!" Seeing the arrogant Gu Dahan, Song Jingxiu decided to fight to the death!
"Xu Jin, Hui Ze, you protect Ziyun!" After speaking, Song Jingxiu picked up his horse slashing knife and rushed towards Gu Dahan without hesitation.
The blade mercilessly slashed everything that stood in front of Song Jingxiu, and he forcibly opened a bloody path from the mountain of guns and knives in a decisive state of death!
Gudahan was shocked by this deadly way of rushing! He knew that the blade of madness was coming at him.
"Stop him! Kill him! Gudahan roared almost madly.
But this did not slow down Song Jingxiu's advance speed in the slightest, stepping on the body of the slashed soldier, bathed in the blood that was spilled with the blade, and had already come to Gu Dahan's approach.
Gu Dahan raised his broadsword in his hand and roared as he prepared to fight.
Song Jingxiu suddenly jumped into the air, slashing the horse like Mount Tai pressing on the top, and slashed straight at the top of Gu Dahan's head.
Gu Dahan raised the blade with both hands to resist - but it was only in vain, in front of Song Jingxiu's fierce blade, the blade was neatly cut in two, and then slashed through Gu Dahan's helmet and slashed into his head.
Gu Dahan's head was like a watermelon, broken in half, and the blade fell to his chest before stopping.
Gu Dahan's horse jumped up in fright and threw Gu Dahan's body to the ground like a sandbag, while Song Jingxiu landed steadily, raised his horse chopping knife, and shouted, "The enemy general is dead, which of you still wants to die?" β
In the eyes of the soldiers, Song Jingxiu, who was covered in blood at the moment, was like a ghost, all of them were frightened, where did they still have the courage to come forward and attack.
Song Jingxiu slowly retreated, and the soldiers dodged one after another, making way for him.
Of the twenty brothers, only five remained. Song Jingxiu didn't care about his grief, turned over his horse, and rode away towards the night with Chen Qingzhi and others.
