Chapter 51: No Bitter Rain Next Year (5)

"God won't let him die...... So he won't die anyway? Wang Mu lowered his head and muttered softly, not knowing whether to talk to himself or to Han Zhuo beside him.

Han Zhuo's body shook slightly, and it was Fang Cai who wielded his long sword to resist the hail. But there was no expression on his face, and he did not respond to Wang Mu's words.

"But...... Even if God doesn't let them die, I must kill them! Wang Mu squeezed the ice hockey ball in his hand hard, gritting his teeth: "For the sake of ...... Teacher! ”

……

Breaking through the obstacles of the new army, Liu Xiu and Liu Xiu took the remaining more than 100 cavalry and galloped towards the south of the city. Although Liu Ji and Ren Guang also suffered a lot of injuries, they barely supported themselves on the horse, and it was not a big problem.

When he approached the south gate far away, Liu Xuan had already heard the chaotic shouts of killing in front of him.

Sure enough, Wang Mu also arranged an ambush here.

Directly in front of the Chung Ling army, there was the same team as Fang Cai - the giant shield in front and the strong crossbow in the back, forming a tight formation and blocking the streets in front.

And on the left and right directions, there are dense ordinary new troops, armed with spears or swords, constantly squeezing inward, tightly surrounding the Chung Ling army at the entrance of the city gate.

The new armies on both sides are only responsible for squeezing the Chungling army towards the middle and compressing their space. And the real harvest is still the endless rain of arrows behind the shield array.

Again, the Chung Ling Army is well aware of this. Therefore, the goal of their counterattack was also placed in the direction of the shield array.

Although the crossbow arrows rained down and the shield array was like a mountain, the Chung Ling army, which was surrounded by it, still frantically launched a wave of people counterattacking the shield array.

Slightly better than the previous situation, the Chungling army here is all infantry, many are equipped with shields, and there are also three hundred elite ranger swordsmen.

Under the cover of his shield, the Ranger Swordsman advanced forward step by step. After approaching the opponent's shield array, one jumped from behind the shield, and then the long sword in his hand would set off a bloody storm on the inside of the shield array.

Even if those rangers who broke through the shield array would be re-submerged by the new army after harvesting several lives, they could often disrupt the formation of the new army for the remaining infantry of the Chungling Army, creating an opportunity to open the passage.

It's just that the battle situation in front of him is still tilting towards the direction of the new army little by little.

However, it was clear that behind the new army was an empty city gate, but no one retreated.

"The general will be back soon! Fight to the death! ”

"Fight to the death! Fight to the death! Fight to the death! ”

In the noisy and chaotic human voices, only a loud voice was shouting.

Liu Zhuo heard that it was the voice of his uncle Liu Liang. At such a critical juncture, he was still struggling to hold on to himself while staying at the city gate.

There can be no further delay. With a loud shout, Liu Xuan once again took the lead and rushed towards the new army on the street in front.

The Chung Ling army, which was originally facing the encirclement, whether it was a shield bearer or a crossbowman, poured all their minds into the front. As for the cavalry rushing from the rear, there was no defense, not even the slightest preparation.

Although there are only more than 100 cavalry, these cavalry at this moment are full of reverence and trust for the god-like Liu Xuan.

They believe that as long as they follow Liu Xuan, then there will be nothing in front of them, and they are invincible.

They followed Liu Xuan closely, galloping fearlessly towards the new army in the street ahead.

Liu Xuan took the lead and rushed into the camp of the new army. The long knife swung like a storm, and in an instant, it killed a bloody path in the crowd. The cavalry that followed closely behind was like a sharp knife, further expanding the bloody path of Liu Xuan's killing.

Although no hail fell again this time, the new army that was attacked behind it was still in chaos in an instant. The order they received was only to annihilate the Chung Ling army at the city gate. Whether it is the direction of the shield array or the crossbow arrow, it is aimed at the front of you. And the cavalry that suddenly appeared behind them was completely unexpected by them.

This unit, like the previous troops on the street in front of the Taishou Mansion, was equipped with only one dagger for hand-to-hand combat, except for crossbow arrows. However, when such a weapon faced the cavalry attacking from behind, it had no ability to resist at all, and could only be crushed as much as possible.

After more than 100 cavalry broke through the new army in the streets, they left only a wailing in their wake, and scattered stumps and blood on the ground.

"Uncle!"

Finally breaking through the last shield array, Liu Xuan rushed forward with angry eyes, the old man who was waving the long sword in his hand and shouting loudly.

Liu Liang was hit by a sword in his left arm, and the blood stained his sleeves red, but he didn't even bother to pull out the arrow and bandage it, but simply cut off the tail of the arrow, and still kept raising his arms and shouting, encouraging the soldiers to rush forward. The whitened beard was already stained with a little white foam, and the whole body was trembling slightly from the loss.

"Uncle......" Liu Liang jumped off the horse and hugged Liu Liang's shoulders hard: "It's me!" I am back! ”

"You ......" Liu Liang had already lost his mind a little in this fierce battle, and was suddenly caught by Liu Liang and stared at him blankly for a long time, before his expression suddenly turned into surprise: "Bo Sheng!" You're back! Uncle Wen! ”

"Ah Xiu is fine, it's right behind." Liu Jiu pointed to the cavalry team behind that was breaking through the remnants of the new army: "Just behind, Liu Ji and Ren Guang are also fine." ”

"That'...... That's good! That's good! Liu Liang nodded breathlessly, and his originally nervous expression relaxed slightly: "Have you killed Zhang Fang?" ”

"......" Liu Xuan didn't know how to answer for a while.

That's right, Zhang Fang was indeed dead, but not by his hands, but by the man named Wang Mu. Let alone...... At this moment, even if he can get Zhang Fang's head, these new troops in front of him are afraid that they will not be moved.

The object of their orders now has become Wang Mu.

"Did you kill it? Bosheng! The success or failure of this battle is all on him! The shouts of killing continued on both sides, and soldiers were screaming and dying at every moment. Liu Liang's face was full of anxiety, and he glared at his nephew in front of him: "Speak quickly!" ”

"This battle ...... We have already lost. It was not easy for Liu Xuan to speak: "If you continue to stay here, you can only be wiped out." Take advantage of the ...... now Retreat. ”

"What?" Liu Liang's eyes widened: "Retreat? I've already entered the city, and now you're telling me to retreat?! Bosheng! Are you kidding? ”

Liu Xuan's heart was also like a knife. But no matter how reluctant he is, he can only be helpless: "I'm sorry, uncle, but we ...... There's really nothing I can do about it......"

"Boss, the new army has increased its troops!" Liu Ji hurriedly rode his horse and galloped, his face covered with blood: "On the left and right sides and in front, I licked many people and horses...... The brethren can't hold on! ”

He had a few new wounds, but more from the blood of the enemy.

However, without Liu Ji's report, Liu Ji could already hear it, and the shouts and killings on both sides gradually advanced. Ahead, on the streets that had already been trampled through, the scattered undead soldiers stood up again, and re-formed a shield formation with the newly arrived reinforcements.

Now, the city gate behind him has become the only way to retreat. And if you don't retreat, and wait until the current defeat turns into a rout, then everything will really be powerless.

"Uncle!" Liu Xiu also rode his horse to Liu Liang's side, his eyes full of anxiety.

"However, even if you retreat, where can you retreat!" Liu Liang clenched his fists tightly and said, "Even if you withdraw to Chungling, it can only be a dead end!" ”

"There is only ...... right now" Liu Xuan gritted his teeth: "Go to Xinshi and join the Green Forest Army." ”

"The Green Forest?" Liu Liang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then groaned for a while, and frowned: "Regardless of whether they are willing to accept us or not, but Xinshi is still nearly a hundred miles away from here, even if we successfully evacuate now, the next pursuit along the way ......"

"That's all there is to it! Otherwise...... What else can be done? Liu Jiu stretched out his hand and pointed to the battle line behind him. There, a tidal wave of new armies is coming, pushing the front forward little by little. The morale of the Chung Ling army was about to fall to the brink of collapse.

“…… Good. Liu Liang also knew that he had to make a decision at this moment, and he couldn't hesitate any longer, so he nodded: "You guys should retreat immediately." ”

"Good...... What the? Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu were stunned for a moment: "Uncle, what do you mean by this!" ”

"Looking at the situation in front of us, can we still be allowed to retreat?" Liu Liang smiled miserably: "If no one stays behind, who can retreat?" ”

"But that person can't be you!" Liu Xiu roared. He naturally knew very well that with the current situation, the so-called breaking off also meant giving his life.

"Why not?" Liu Liang gently pressed his hand on the shoulders of Liu Xiu and Liu Xuan, and said softly: "I'm already old, and I don't have many years to live." And you ...... There is also an infinite future. This world will be yours after all. ”

He waved his hand to stop Liu Xuan from speaking, and continued: "Bo Sheng...... Maybe you've always felt that between you brothers, I like Uncle Wen more. Uncle Wen is indeed a good boy, more well-behaved, obedient, gentle, and not as unruly as you...... Yes, there's nothing wrong with any of that. But—"

Liu Liang smiled: "But if you want to revive the Han dynasty and take back the world, such a burden is not something that Uncle Wen can afford, let alone me." That person has only ...... You. So, you must live. Promise me, Bosheng. ”

"Yes...... Uncle. Liu Xuan gritted his teeth and nodded with a thousand strengths.

"Well, let's go. It's too late. Liu Liang smiled faintly and patted Liu Liang lightly on the shoulder: "Don't let my sacrifice be in vain." ”

Liu Xuan quietly looked at his uncle's indifferent face, took a deep breath, turned over and dismounted, knelt in front of Liu Liang's horse, and kowtowed three times.

He then jumped back on his horse, pulled the reins, and went to gather his troops.

He didn't say a word to his uncle, because he had said all that had to be said.

The remnants of the cavalry were all brought by Liu Xuan, as well as the remaining hundred or so ranger swordsmen after the battle. Coupled with the more than 2,000 foot soldiers who were separated, this is all the people who retreated.

Dozens of people from the Liu clan, who were assigned to the generals and colonels in this army, naturally all followed the evacuated team.

The remaining less than 2,000 soldiers were still fighting hard, resisting the three-way encirclement, not knowing that they had been abandoned.

Because Liu Liang was still standing behind them, holding his long sword high, he kept shouting loudly to command the battle, and never left.

"Ah Xiu, Ah Xiu...... Be sure to ...... Stay alive. ”

From beginning to end, Liu Liang did not turn his head to look in the direction of the city gate. He was afraid that if he turned around, he would not be able to hold back the tears in his eyes.

At least at the last moment of your life, let yourself protect these two nephews again!
