Chapter 22: Fire, Blood, and Chaos
The firelight tore through the rainy night, and the voices shouted chaotically.
"There are thieves who have entered Guo Taishou's mansion-"
Under the eaves in the rain, the soldiers who came with torches rushed over, and some of them copied the back road to intercept the exit, which was to kill the horse thieves who were left behind. And the more than ten horse thieves guarding the exit are not all mediocre hands, at least during this time, fighting with the Huns has developed a brave temperament, the two sides instantly bumped and pushed and killed together, the soldiers in the house fell, and the horse thieves were also directly slashed when the other party rushed over, and a large amount of blood splashed up in the crowded front line and sprinkled in the rain.
The servants and maidservants in the palace dodged in a panic, and several horse thieves who walked out of the hall stabbed towards the back, and a palace guard rushed over, Gao Sheng raised his hand and smashed the other party's face with a knife, and the horse thieves scattered around also gathered and followed the tall figure in front of him.
"Then the dog official's family members won't be killed?" The bald man with a crooked nose and squinted eyes followed behind.
Gongsun Zhi stared at him: "I haven't gotten to the point of bullying orphans and widows, besides, they run away, and there is not enough time." ”
Behind them was the Taishou Mansion, which was connected to the house, and more soldiers rushed from there shouting.
"Let's go!!"
Da Yu made a splash, and the scimitar stabbed a soldier on his back, throwing the body away, shouting at the crowd of people fighting at the back door: "Don't delay, go out at the door first, the others, rush over, kill-"
The remaining ten or so horse thieves around Gongsun Zhi waved their knives and slashed at the soldiers on the periphery, Gao Sheng, who had served as a pioneer under the command of the general of the earth, roared, brandished a big knife to hold the blade of the chop, and slashed with his backhand a few knives, slashing through the neck and chest of the person, and the blood light sprinkled with the flying blade.
Twenty soldiers were killed by the other side's supporters, and some people were shouting: "Stop them, don't retreat—"
However, the newly entered Gongsun Zhi more than a dozen horse thieves forced through the gap tore open by the figure wielding a big knife, and killed out the back door, on the long street, the running figure splashed rain, and a team of street soldiers who rushed to hear the news hurriedly collided with them, and the knife light cut through the rain curtain, and suddenly several people were cut down repeatedly.
"Do as arranged."
Pulling out the blade from the corpse, Gongsun Zhi heard more and more faint shouts of killing, and on the overlapping phantom map in his sight, the red dots densely surrounded them.
The remaining twenty or so people walked towards the carriage with the goods, and on the way, someone threw out a hook and pulled off the eaves of the low house next to it and fell into the middle of the street, and the torches hidden in the leather scrolls lit the carriage, and the horses neighed, and kicked the horses' hooves in fright, and rushed madly towards the opposite side of the street, and the blazing carriage swayed and crashed into the pillars of the surrounding houses, and when the flames splashed, the axles could not withstand the horse's galloping and shaking, and cracked from it, and collapsed with a bang, and were dragged and hit the eaves that had collapsed before. The horses stumbled and slid on the ground, and the oncoming soldiers were caught off guard and knocked to the ground, and the leather rolls and the wreckage of the carriages thrown high in the air spilled down with flames, forcing the crowd to slow down.
At the gate of the city, another group of horse thieves hiding in the nearby houses saw the light and rushed out, and at this time the city gate was not closed, more than 20 people swarmed towards the dozens of soldiers guarding the gate and crashed into it, and the chaotic and amazing shouts of fighting and fighting were loud, and the people or caravans who wanted to enter the city screamed and ran around, causing even greater chaos.
The chaos in the streets, the flames in the rain, the black smoke rolling up the sky, "Bang Bang Bang!! The soldiers with the gongs were running, frantically sounding the warning, and farther away, the hundred-man cavalry who had just entered the city heard the sound of the warning gong, and the whip sounded, and chased after them.
Gongsun Zhi and the others, who fled in the panic rain, killed the soldiers who had not yet formed an array all the way, and passed through the streets, and already saw the crowd of people crowded at the city gate.
"Quick—"
The rain hit his face, Gongsun Zhi opened his mouth and shouted, then turned around and sprinted, there was a knife in his sight, his body bent, his hand grasped the fist and fought hard in the abdomen of the man, and the other party was full of blood between his mouth and nose, and the other hand waved the knife to chop his head, and the moment the body fell, he had already rushed to the city gate. Gao Sheng followed closely, holding a big knife to tear apart the crowd, the soldiers on the city wall probed down, opened their bows and arrows, and shot at the horse thieves below, many of them bloomed with blood and fell, and more than ten people were left to rush into the torn crowd and escape.
The battle then moved to the outside of the city, more soldiers rushed out, and there were also figures on war horses mixed in, here, Gongsun Zhi led the horse thieves who only had about 30 people left to walk and retreat, at this time, more than 100 horse thieves who received outside the city each led a war horse and galloped towards this side.
"Chief! Get on the horse—"
Someone roared and howled, and the hundred horse thieves let go of the horses they were pulling, and turned an arc in the gallop to shoot arrows at the soldiers who were following the fight, stopping the other party's footsteps, and the blood splashed from the crowd, and the city guards who slowed down their speed were also shooting with bows, but most of the other parties were galloping and moving, and only a few arrows were shot.
When stalemate.
In a moment, there was a sudden burst of cheers near the city gate, and a loud sound attracted the attention of the figure who turned over and mounted the horse, and a voice shouted from the cheer.
"Flying General......
"These horse thieves can't escape!!"
"Follow them out and kill them all—"
Gongsun stopped the horse's head, frowned and looked in the direction of the city gate, the rumbling of horses' hooves in the rain curtain was approaching, and a red robe attracted attention, and muttered: "This guy... Who is it? ”
Soon, the distance was a little closer, the three-pronged hair was purple and gold, wearing a red brocade robe from Xichuan, the tall and mighty body galloped in the rain, the horse's hooves turned up muddy water, and the Fang Tian painting halberd was horizontally at his side, and Gongsun Zhi, who suddenly saw it clearly, widened his eyes, and couldn't help but scold: "I grass-"
The wolf howl blew, and he turned his horse and shouted: "Everyone immediately gather back and go, don't entangle with the opposing cavalry." ”
In the next second, the figure advanced by leaps and bounds, catching up with a few horse thieves who were still shooting arrows with bows, and at this time, seeing someone suddenly pounce, Qi Qi changed to a knife and smashed over.
The horses galloped wrongly, the long-pole halberd pierced the rain curtain, the water droplets flew upside down, and the horse thieves who swung the blade directly cut on the branches of the painted halberd, the moment the spark flickered, the arm holding the weapon bounced up, and the body leaned back, and then directly planted the horse, in the rain curtain, the horse's hoof kept being angry and self-threatening, and came straight to this side.
"Lu Fengxian!!"
Gongsun Zhi has never watched history again, but he has still watched the TV series, seeing such a situation, where he still doesn't understand that it is Lu Bu, who is difficult to match the armed forces of the Three Kingdoms, and scolds in his heart, he doesn't dare to fight hard under the other party, so he clamps the horse's belly and begins to run forward with his subordinate horse thieves.
