Chapter 140: Falling Off the Cliff (2/5)
Xia Liu had no intention of caring about the battle on the high ground, seeing that the cavalry guards on the high ground had no time to take care of the below, he gave an order, and the Chinese army immediately moved forward, in a vain attempt to take the opportunity to break through the second gate. He had already seen Li Guanqi standing on the high platform behind the second gate, although he didn't know any art of war, but he also knew that at this time, if he captured Li Guanqi, he would definitely be able to control the situation.
The second gate is not as strong as the gate, and it is almost impossible to hold it when the high ground on both sides cannot provide fire support. And once the second gate is lost, then the cavalry guards on the high ground on both sides will also fall into the situation of being attacked from both sides.
Seeing this situation, Li Guanqi immediately made a decision, and quickly withdrew the men and horses on the high ground on both sides, in front of the superior enemy, although they have always had the upper hand until now, but unless it is absolutely necessary, he will never use these elite fighters to fight a war of attrition.
Li Guanqi once again gave up the second gate and withdrew all the horses into the courtyard, where the power of the repeater could not be lost due to hand-to-hand combat by using the cover of the house.
However, Li Guanqi also understood that what he was doing now was only trying to avoid the arrival of a war of attrition, and if the Xiangyang Army in the Eagle Sorrow Valley did not appear, the price they paid for the 500 people who wanted to win against these 3,000 people would definitely not be small.
The sky is getting brighter and brighter, Li Guanqi and the others have retreated to the back mountain, and behind them is a hundred zhang cliff, there is no way to retreat, and the Xiangyang army still has no movement.
Facing the mountain bandits led by Xia Liu who pressed over step by step, Li Guanqi glanced up at the floating clouds in the sky, and then looked back at the bloody soldiers around him, raised his sword and said: "Soldiers, life is a hero, death is also a ghost." I can fight with you today. It's the greatest honor in my life, kill! ”
"Kill!" The crowd roared in unison and rushed back towards an enemy several times their size.
The brave man wins when he meets on a narrow road, because of Li Guanqi's leading role, the combat power of the Xiao cavalry guards instantly soared to another level. In addition, there are four heroic-level characters on their side, namely Nameless, Zhao Zheng, Yuwen Xiyue and Zou Qiaolai, and for a while, the two sides are evenly matched.
Just when the two sides were inseparable, suddenly there was a shout of killing from behind Xia Liu's mountain bandit army, and then the rear team of the mountain bandit army immediately became chaotic.
Seeing this, Li Guanqi hurriedly shouted: "Reinforcements are coming, everyone work hard!" Capture Xia Liu alive, a reward of 10,000 gold! ”
"Whew! Kill! The soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Guard, who were already tired and about to cramp, suddenly felt like they had been shot in the arm. They shouted and killed the mountain bandits who were losing their fighting spirit.
After a mess, Xia Liu knew that the defeat was decided, he seemed to be much older in an instant, the sword in his hand hung down, and he no longer had the intention of continuing to fight. However, just when he wanted to raise the sword in his hand again to end his life, the beating red on the edge of the cliff stimulated him again.
The setting moon. It was the sunset moon that he had been thinking about......
Almost all men have a sick mentality, that is, a woman who they can't get by all means. I'd rather destroy it than let her fall into the hands of other men. What Xia Liu is thinking about now is how to take Yuwen Xiyue with him before he leaves this world.
Xia Liu knew that with Yuwen Xiyue's martial arts, even a hundred of herself would not be able to kill her. But there was a repeating crossbow dropped by a fallen horse guard at his feet, and Yuwen Xiyue was fighting with more than two dozen mountain bandits at this time......
Xia Liu looked at the bright red and slowly raised the repeater in his hand......
The Soul Eater Red Refining in Yuwen Xiyue's hand danced rapidly, and in the beginning stage, each dance of the Soul Eater Red Refining could take away a fresh life. But by now, she is already tired, and the twenty bandits in front of her, who she usually doesn't care about at all, can barely reach a tie with her. Her spiritual sense has long been unable to take care of everything, and a mountain bandit's bland knife just now almost hurt her......
When he heard the shouting and killing sound from the bottom of the mountain, Li Guanqi was relieved after cheering up his soldiers, he knew that the overall situation had been decided.
With the victory in hand, Li Guanqi then remembered to go to Xia Liu, and tossed for so many days, isn't it just to catch Xia Liu? If he is allowed to run away in the end, won't it all be in vain?
When Li Guanqi saw Xia Liu, the crossbow in Xia Liu's hand had just been raised, and following the direction pointed by the tip of the arrow, Li Guanqi saw Yuwen Xiyue on the edge of the cliff......
Li Guanqi knew the power of this kind of repeating crossbow used by his guards, not to mention that he had been fighting for a long time, even if he was full of energy, few people could dodge this dense rapid fire......
"Be careful!" Li Guanqi yelled at Yuwen Xiyue, but apparently the latter didn't hear it, and the sound on the battlefield was too noisy......
Li Guanqi bit his silver teeth, turned around and ran towards Yuwen Xiyue, he couldn't watch such a beautiful life wither in Xia Liu's hands.
Xia Liu's eyes only left Yuwen Xiyue, his repeater crossbow was aimed, this distance was not far, he believed that the crossbow arrow shot could take Yuwen Xiyue's life, he smiled contentedly, reached out and pressed the trigger......
Xia Liu just pressed the trigger, and suddenly saw a figure appear in front of Yuwen Xiyue, what he wanted most at this time was to kill Yuwen Xiyue, and under the paranoia, he saw that someone was blocking the arrow path, and he subconsciously shook his hand......
Because Xia Liu's hand shook like this, only one crossbow arrow was shot out of the crossbow, and the position was also a few inches upward......
Li Guanqi had just rushed to Yuwen Xiyue, and before he could make a warning, he felt a pain in his shoulder, and then a strong force came, and he was rushing forward again, and he was already powerless to brake again, and there was a cliff in front of him......
Yuwen Xiyue had also found out what was going on, but Li Guanqi had already fallen down the cliff like a kite with a broken string.
Realizing that Li Guanqi was hit by an arrow and fell off the cliff in order to save himself, Yuwen Xiyue's heart was hot, she didn't think much about it, she struggled forward, and even jumped off the cliff, she was in the air, her right hand shook, and the Soul Devouring Red Refining had wrapped around Li Guanqi's waist.
Although Yuwen Xiyue caught Li Guanqi, she couldn't slow down the fall of the two, so she had to take another belt in her hand, narrowing the distance between the two, and tightly hugging the man who was desperate to save herself...... (To be continued......)
