Chapter 114: Capturing the City (Two Watches)
The messenger, who had been keeping his head down, replied: "Li Si has a big incident in his family, and he has already explained the reason to his son and gone home, so he asked a certain person to do it for him." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Bang dang!"
As soon as the messenger's words fell, a long sword that exuded a bone-chilling chill suddenly rested on his shoulder, and I saw Wang Lung looking down at the messenger at a 45-degree angle, and said coldly: "Anyway, this Li Si is my nephew, why don't I know about something in his family?" Say, "Who are you sending a fine work?" ”
The messenger hurriedly paused, "Please be clear, I was really sent by Gongzi Zhou to deliver the letter, if you don't believe it, I still have the letter that Gongzi gave me." ”
"Bring it to me." Only then did Wang Lung take down the long sword that was on the messenger's neck.
"Look!"
The messenger slowly took out a short sword from his sleeve, and slammed to his feet with lightning speed, and before Wang Lung could react, he clasped his neck with one hand and held the sword in the other, resting it on his shoulder.
"General!"
After a few seconds of stunnedness, the surrounding sergeants swarmed forward, surrounding the messenger and Wang Lung, swords facing each other.
The messenger's gaze was sharp, like a murderous sword, and he swept them coldly and scolded, "You'd better not come, or I'll kill him with a sword." ”
The surrounding soldiers looked at each other, and none of them dared to step forward again.
Wang Lung asked suspiciously, "Who are you, and why are you holding me hostage?" ”
The messenger pulled his face, and the two came to face each other closely, and he asked, "General Wang, there are really many nobles, we only met three days ago, why did you forget?" ”
After his reminder, the more Wang Lung looked at the emaciated face in front of him, the more familiar he felt, and suddenly, a figure flashed in his mind, and he asked tentatively, "Are you Li Zicheng?" ”
"You still have some eyesight." Li Zicheng laughed, "Yes, I am Li Zicheng." Now that you know who I am, why don't you open the gates of the city and let my son-in-law in. ”
Wang Lung snorted coldly: "It's just wishful thinking. ”
Li Zicheng persuaded: "General Wang, you are also a smart person, as long as you can open the city gate, I can ask Gongzi to spare your life, and even keep your official position." ”
Wang Lung sneered a few times and said: "Although I, Wang Long, am not a very smart person, I can still see the situation in front of me clearly, if I let your son-in-law in, I am afraid that not only my life will not be guaranteed, but most people in the city will suffer, so I advise you to die of this heart." ”
The short sword in his hand slashed lightly across Wang Lung's neck, leaving a striking blood mark, and Li Zicheng threatened, "General Wang, you don't want a dog to sit in a sedan chair and not know how to lift." ”
Wang Lung did not say anything, but shouted at the soldiers around him: "Brothers, I now order you, in my capacity as the city guard, to shoot arrows in this direction quickly, and we must not let this trick succeed." ”
A soldier asked, "General Wang, what are you going to do?" ”
Wang Lung looked up to the sky and smiled: "People die in the sky, Lao Tzu is still a hero after eighteen years." ”
Most of the soldiers around him were brothers who got along with Wang Lung day and night, and no one could do this ruthlessly. For a while, they all stood in place with embarrassed faces, silent.
"General Wang, I'm afraid your brothers won't be able to do what you want." Li Zicheng sneered, he opened his voice and shouted: "You all dodge for me, otherwise I will kill him with a sword." ”
The soldiers obediently retreated to the side, but everyone's eyes fell on Li Zicheng's body, as long as he dared to move Wang Long again, Changge in the hands of these people would definitely stab him without hesitation.
"Bastard, it's not a pity for me to have a cheap life, this guy is much more expensive than me, what are you still hesitating about?"
Wang Lung roared angrily, and those soldiers still didn't dare to step forward, but just dotted on both sides of Li Zicheng, forming a closed circle, making him have no way to escape.
While Li Zicheng was slowly walking downstairs, Wang Lung suddenly burst out with the power of the wilderness, grabbed the former's wrist with his backhand, bent his left arm into an elbow, and slammed into Li Zicheng's chest one by one.
"Look for death!"
Li Zicheng burst into a loud cheer and put his hands together, trying to stop Wang Lung's crazy behavior.
During the scuffle between the two, Li Zicheng accidentally stabbed Wang Lung in the lower abdomen with a sword, and before he fell, Wang Lung shouted loudly: "Brothers, kill!" ”
Seeing that the chief who got along day and night died in front of him, the soldiers around him were all red-eyed, and they raised the Changge in their hands and stabbed at Li Zicheng.
Li Zicheng was not afraid of danger, snorted coldly, rushed out with his right hand like a spiritual snake, bypassed the sharp Ge blade, grabbed the pole, and snatched Chang Ge with a slight force.
Li Zicheng, who was holding Changge, was like a fierce god, fighting bloody battles in all directions, relying on the narrow space advantage to temporarily suppress the enemy's offensive.
But after all, they were outnumbered, and after seeing Wang Long's tragic death, these soldiers were already fearless of life and death, and they sacrificed their lives one by one.
"Whoosh!"
There was a loud sound, and feathered arrows like flying locusts flew out from under the city tower, crossed the top of Li Zicheng's head, and rushed straight towards the Shu County defenders who were chasing straight after.
"Ahh
The screams were endless, and many people were within the range of the bow and crossbow, and those who were unlucky were directly killed by an arrow.
"General Li, so-and-so has come to save you!"
In the midst of the offensive that suppressed the defenders of Shu County, Qiao Rui, who was wearing bright silver armor, rushed out from a corner, led dozens of soldiers to kill the city tower, and soon killed all the defenders on the city gate.
It is worth mentioning that in this battle, Wang Long, the officer defending the city, was killed, and none of his sergeants surrendered, and all of them fought to the end.
Looking at Wang Long's body that was carried by two soldiers, Li Zicheng said with emotion: "It's a respectable man, you buried him thickly." ”
Qiao Rui, who was covered in blood, walked over, threw the long sword that was chopped aside, and grinned at Li Zicheng, "If I die in battle one day, you will have to bury me." ”
Li Zicheng shook his head, "I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for that day." ”
Seeing Qiao Rui's suspicious face, Li Zicheng explained to him with a smile, "With Yuan Gongzi here, it will be difficult for us to die." ”
Qiao Rui's eyes swept around, and nodded approvingly, "Now that I believe Gongzi's previous words, this Shuxian County is really not easy to take." ”
By the time Yuan Jiang returned to the city, the fighting had ended, and some were just soldiers in charge of cleaning up the battlefield, and they were busy back and forth.
Li Zicheng and Qiao Rui greeted each other with smiles on their faces, "The last general, Li Zicheng (Qiao Rui), will meet the son." ”
Yuan Jiang hurriedly helped them up, "The two generals don't need to be polite, it's thanks to the two of you for this today, I won't have to sleep outside the city tonight." ”
