534 Chai Shao's death
"Kill!"
Chai Shao shouted, holding a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, and the first soldier killed Luo Shixin, and two personal guards guarded him on the left and on the right, forming a triangular offensive formation.
All the elites in the Tang army also have extremely strict requirements for the battle formation, which coincides with Su You's requirements.
Chai Shao was so brave that the guards who followed him couldn't say anything, except for leaving thirty or twenty people to protect Li Xiuning, the rest of the people followed him and rushed down the mountain to Luo Shixin, these more than twenty people.
Because of Luo Shixin's deliberate retreat, the more than 80 people led by Chai Shao soon fanned around Luo Shixin's more than 20 people, and Luo Shixin's personal guards had to face an average of three times the enemy of their own.
In addition, there were twenty or thirty people behind Chai Shao, including Li Xiuning, who were also armed with bows and arrows, eyeing them fiercely.
Of course, because Chai Shao, Luo Shixin and others were immediately entangled in one place, it was too difficult for them to release their arrows.
In the face of the attack of Chai Shao and the three of them, Luo Shixin was just single, which was also a helpless thing, firstly, there were too few guards he had handsome, and they needed to form a formation to protect Luo Shixin; Second, Luo Shixin's cooperation with the guards is definitely not as good as their own cooperation.
Even if it was one against three, Luo Shixin didn't take Chai Shao to heart, he rushed towards Chai Shao with a sword in his hand like a tiger, and shouted, "Chai Shao, suffer death!" ”
"Do you recognize me?" Chai Shao didn't expect Luo Shixin to call out his name, but he didn't take this matter too seriously, and after only being stunned for a moment, he didn't hesitate to block with his shield and launch a counterattack.
Luo Shixin has an indomitable domineering spirit, thinking that he wants to solve Chai Shao and then capture Li Xiuning, who is still far away; Chai Shao also thinks that the nobodies in front of him are the time to show their bravery, so there is no reason to retreat.
When they met on a narrow road, both sides broke out with unprecedented courage, and who Shen and who were defeated really had to see the truth under their hands.
Luo Shixin's sword stabbed at Chai Shao was retracted without using his old man, and then with a "dang" sound, and a "dang" sound, it successively separated the short spears stabbed by the two personal guards beside Chai Shao.
There is not much difference between the swords, horizontal knives, and short spears, and the length of the weapons they use, the horizontal knives and spears are more domineering, but the swords are more in-person.
After a round, Chai Shao and the guards around him already knew that the other party was not easy to match.
Then one of Chai Shao's guards immediately entered a defensive state, protecting Chai Shao from being attacked by Luo Shixin with the greatest energy; The other man cooperated with him and launched a second attack on Roshixin.
The two of them attacked Luo Shixin one by one, one left and one right, one in front and one behind, which immediately caused the embarrassment that he could not advance or retreat.
According to Luo Shixin's character, of course he will choose to move forward at this time, even if it is to overcome obstacles.
Luo Shixin waited for the short spear to stab, but he turned sideways slightly, and the spear stabbed in against his armor, but the move of the spear-holding guard was used in the old way.
Luo Shixin did not retreat but advanced, the sword in his hand changed to a slash, and after another "dang" sound, the knife in Chai Shao's hand was shaken away by his natural bravery.
In an instant, the guard who stabbed Luo Shixin's armor pulled the short spear back, but Chai Shao's mouth was numb, and he was a little frightened.
Chai Shao had previously learned the strength of Li Xuanba and Pei Yuanqing, these two people had always been something he didn't dare to match, if he had to find another person who could have this courage, he quickly thought of Yuwen Chengdu.
As early as ten years ago, Chai Shao played in the national polo team with Pei Yuanqing and Yuwen Chengdu, and Chai Shao hid as far as he could from their strength; Li Xuanba is Li Xiuning's younger brother, and his strength is greater than theirs, and he is glad that he will never be able to be an enemy of him.
But who is this man in front of him?
Chai Shao finally found that he accidentally kicked the steel plate, and the nobody in front of him was really not a soft persimmon, but he didn't even have time to ask the other party's name and surname, and he heard a miserable scream.
In fact, after the battle began, the small battlefield of more than 100 people resounded one after another with the dull sound of various weapons handing over, but because they were all trained soldiers and soldiers, there was no sound of fighting.
This scream came from the guard who had stabbed his short spear at Luo Shixin's armor just now, and his short spear was hit by Luo Shixin's sword before he even drew it back.
Luo Shixin is a brave general, but after holding the sword in his hand, he can still make the sword light.
At the risk of being injured, Luo Shixin knocked Chai Shao's weapon away with fearless courage, and with a flick of his sword, he stabbed the spear-wielding guard's eyebrows with the next move.
Perhaps the battle just now was too fierce, and the guard's hat was only slightly crooked, and Luo Shixin took advantage of the weakness and killed him with one blow.
The screams were in his ears, and Chai Shao forgot for a moment the fear caused by Luo Shixin's powerful move just now, although the knife in his hand had flown somewhere, he still had a shield in his hand.
The shield is used for defense, but it can also be used as an offensive weapon.
When one of the guards next to him fell, Chai Shao used the shield as a weapon and pounced on Luo Shixin with a fit; The other guard beside him did not hesitate, ready to protect the flaws he exposed due to the attack.
A soldier beside Li Xiuning looked at the battlefield in front of him from a distance and shouted urgently, "Princess, the master of the horse is in danger!" ”
Li Xiuning was holding a bow and arrow at Luo Shixin at this time, so he could naturally see Chai Shao's danger at a glance, and when he heard the urgent call of the guard beside him, he immediately ordered, "Sanbao, you go and protect the horse and protect him from returning!" ”
This guard, who is called "Sanbao", was formerly known as Ma Sanbao, but he is Su Pisces's half-brother.
After Su Shuangyu became the head of Su You Seven Seas Trading Company, his life gradually improved, and later he married Qingjing, and since then he has also begun to use money to feed the family he once betrayed - the Ma family.
The reason why Pisces still thinks about the Ma family is actually because of this Sanbao, of course his cheap father knows this, so he also began to spoil this Ma Sanbao, and Ma Sanbao has changed from a commoner child to a ranger in the Eastern Capital.
If you want to mix in the world, Ma Sanbao naturally can't ignore the allusions of the Eastern Capital Ranger world, Yu Wenhua and Yang Ying are obviously the objects of his admiration, but unfortunately there is no way to take refuge; However, Li Shimin had a wide range of friends and had a trace of intersection with him, and when he learned that his brother was Su Pisces under Su You's tent, he was impressed.
When Li Yuan was about to start an incident in Taiyuan that day, and Li Xiuning escorted his family to leave the Eastern Capital, Ma Sanbao and his brothers were very helpful to Li Xiuning; It wasn't until Li Yuan was proclaimed emperor in Chang'an that Ma Sanbao came to vote for Li Shimin, and was then recruited by Li Xiuning as a personal guard......
As Ma Sanbao expected, Chai Shao did encounter great danger in front of Luo Shixin, but he was in a hurry to come to the rescue now, and it was still a little late.
Just as Ma Sanbao rushed towards Chai Shao's side, Luo Shixin desperately solved Chai Shao's two guards with the danger of being stabbed by a spear.
time, it only took two rounds.
At this time, Chai Shaozheng was gasping for breath, and in only two rounds, he was as tired as if he had rushed and killed dozens of times in the enemy formation.
The physical exertion was secondary, and the mental power that Roshishin gave him was unbearable.
After two rounds, Chai Shao did not suffer any damage, but the two spear-wielding guards guarding him were killed, one of them was stabbed in the center of his eyebrow, and the other had his throat cut.
If Chai Shao was still afraid of Luo Shixin's courage just now, then what about his lightness now?
Chai Shao even regretted his recklessness, if he didn't insist on personally leading the soldiers to fight with them just now, he could solve them with more than a hundred people with bows and arrows, right? Even if they run away, how many can they go?
At this time of life and death, Chai Shao unexpectedly had negative emotions, and then he thought of retreating.
Those who know the times are Junjie, and in the face of unsurpassable dangers, retreat is obviously the most correct way of thinking, but Chai Shao turned around inexplicably under all kinds of cranky thoughts.
Chai Shao turned around, which meant exposing his back to Luo Shixin, who was just stunned for a moment, and then pounced.
"Buzz!"
Chai Shao and Luo Shixin only opened a distance of three steps, and after Li Xiuning realized Chai Shao's danger, he had opened the bowstring for a while and immediately put it down, and a feather arrow suddenly shot towards Luo Shixin's face.
Luo Shixin didn't expect Li Xiuning to dare to shoot the arrow in his hand at such an angle, he didn't have time to admire her decisiveness in his heart, he just instinctively flicked his wrist, and the long sword that was originally aimed at Chai Shao's back slapped the flying arrow.
The action used by Luo Shixin is indeed "shooting", which is also worried that the arrow will still attack his face after cutting off the arrow with the arrow.
Chai Shao obviously also heard the sound of oncoming arrows breaking through the wind, and immediately rolled on the spot, rushing out five or six steps away.
Until this time, Chai Shao was theoretically safe.
In this short period of time, Li Xiuning shot three arrows.
Shooting three arrows in a row is the basic skill of a general, and this is also one of the examination subjects of martial arts that year.
This is not too easy for a woman, but Li Xiuning has done it now; Maybe she should have had the courage, maybe she inspired him to save her husband's life!
Luo Shixin shook his wrist and knocked off the arrow shot by Li Xiuning without danger.
Seeing Chai Shao crawling out of his attack range, Luo Shixin was originally a little depressed that Chai Shao had escaped, but he didn't think that the arrow he had set aside at the end had established a miracle!
"Ahh
As Chai Shao shouted, Luo Shixin immediately found that the arrow he had just opened had coincidentally shot into Chai Shao's back.
At this time, Luo Shixin wanted to step forward to mend the knife, but Ma Sanbao and the other two guards stopped him with a big shield, while Chai Shao staggered and wanted to stand up, but finally fell to the ground in despair.
Luo Shixin didn't dare to use force, so he had to raise his sword and slowly retreat, but Ma Sanbao and the others did not move forward.
The fierce battle was raging at the foot of the small hill, and only half of the more than 20 soldiers who followed Luo Shixin remained, and Li Xiuning's personal soldiers also paid a greater price.
Of the seventy or eighty guards who rushed up with Chai Shao, only two-thirds remained.
"Retreat!"
It seemed that Luo Shixin and Li Xiuning gave this order back and forth, and then the soldiers on the two sides slowly separated, dragging the seriously injured soldiers who were still alive and quickly fled from the battlefield.
Early the next morning, Luo Shixin received the news from the scouts sent again that Chai Shao had been shot in the heart and died, and Li Xiuning fell ill in bed.
The arrow that hit Chai Shao's heart was engraved with three words,—— "Li Xiuning".
