Chapter 147: The Thieves Retreat

The sound of killing in the city shook the sky. Xu Liang saw that there were more and more thieves climbing the ladder, although the Ming army in the city desperately suppressed and overturned four or five long ladders one after another, but the two long ladders at the corner were never cut off. Two smiling thief soldiers jumped up to the top of the city, tore together with the Ming army in the city, and desperately covered the thieves behind to enter the city.

Wan Jiang shouted loudly and led more than a dozen Ming soldiers under his command to go up.

The third thief rushed up, and the fourth showed his head.

Xu Liang was anxious, and said to Dai Yingying beside him: "Miss Dai......"

Before he could explain what he was going to do, Dai Yingying drew a knife in his hand, jumped out of the city tower, and killed him towards the place where the accident occurred.

The drums under the city became more and more urgent, and the arrows shot at the city head became more and more dense, and the thieves who climbed to the city exceeded ten in a blink of an eye, forcing the Ming army on the city to retreat one after another.

Suddenly, there was a shout in the city, and Huang Xiancheng, who was full of beard, rushed to the head of the city and pointed forward: "Kill me!" Behind him, nearly 100 people led by several county officials rushed over Huang Xiancheng with spears in their hands. Huang Xiancheng came to Xu Liang's side and said, "My lord, the thieves are attacking so fiercely, our army has suffered many casualties, I see that there are not many thieves at the north gate, why don't you draw some people from the north gate?" ”

Xu Liang looked left and right, there were only a dozen or so guards left in the city tower who had not yet been put into battle, if the thieves rushed to the city again, except for the people around him, there would be no alternate troops, and he nodded: "It's okay." Lord Huang, you go to the north gate quickly and transfer 300 soldiers over. ”

Huang Xiancheng hurriedly ran down the city tower again.

The battle around the corner continued, Dai Yingying and Wan Wenshan each held weapons, and slashed and killed more than a dozen thieves crowded in the corner, especially Dai Yingying, a steel knife in his hand was as light as nothing, the knife light tore the wind, and even cut and slashed, and in a blink of an eye, four or five thieves were cut to the ground.

Behind the two of them, the Ming army with spears in hand slammed forward when he saw the hole, and the corner was not sufficient, and more than a dozen thieves were crowded together, not only could not show their hands and feet, but also became the live target of the Ming army, but also blocked the thief soldiers who climbed up the long ladder behind.

More than a dozen thieves soon only five or six people were left to hold on, and the Ming army swarmed up, stabbing through the dense spears, how could the thieves still have a way to live?

Xu Liang sighed lightly, and the secret path was finally held. The guards around him exclaimed, "My lord, look over there!" ”

At the east end of the city gate, the Ming army that had been holding on to it had fallen a large number of arrows at some point, and most of the remaining Ming troops were also wounded, and they were being killed by a bearded and tall thief.

This thief is holding a long-handled simple knife, turning like flying, every time he cuts out a knife, he shouts, brave and abnormal, not afraid of death, the waist was pierced by the Ming army two gunshot wounds are still dripping blood, but he is like no one, chasing the defeated Ming army all the way over.

Behind him were rogue soldiers who leaped into the city one after another.

Xu Liang recognized that this person was the leader of the thieves who commanded the thieves to attack under the city, and he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw him kill the city, and looked around to see that there was no one else except for a dozen of his guards. Xu Liang didn't have time to think about it, picked up a long knife on the ground and shouted: "Brothers, kill with this official!" ”

Wang Hu, the leader of the thieves, rushed all the way to the left and right, and cut down the Ming soldiers to the ground one after another, killing them with great pleasure and no scruples. Seeing that there were more than ten people behind him who had rushed to the head of the city, he felt that the big thing had been accomplished, most of the Zhenyuan City had been broken, and the good wine and beauties in the city were just waiting for themselves to be killed and enjoyed, and they looked up to the sky and laughed at the moment. Suddenly, the blue shadow flashed in front of him, a long knife with the sound of the whistling wind slashed on the head, Wang Hu long knife grid, dodged over, took a closer look, saw that it was the town in the city tower commanding the town of the original county, stunned for a moment, and then overjoyed, shouted in his heart, kill this person, the Ming army will be defeated!

Xu Liang's palms were numb when he was shocked by Wang Hu's blocked knife, and he was shocked in his heart, he couldn't imagine that there was such a fierce person among this thief. You must know that Xu Liang has practiced Master Chang Hui's great prajna skills, and practiced the eight-style knife technique every day, all kinds of no less than 100 times, after some hard practice, his arm strength has far surpassed ordinary people, and he used his full strength to use a knife.

I didn't have time to think about it at the moment, Xu Liang would practice the eight-style knife technique that he was familiar with, sweeping, splitting, dialing, cutting, sweeping, nai, chopping, sudden, and one style to make the general, no matter what the number of moves, chest, feet, waist, top of the head, which side is close to the knife in his hand, he will kill which side. For a while, he actually fought with Wang Hu.

Although Wang Hu is as powerful as a cow, but in the end the knife has not been seriously learned, can have today's level all rely on the accumulation of battlefield experience, the knife makes it fierce, but it is also inflexible, and he can't wait to split the blue robe county order in front of him in half with a knife, but Yue Zhan is annoyed in his heart, the official in front of him who dances the big knife, the knife technique is not fancy, it is just a few tricks, if he was usually killed by his own knife, but the hateful thing about this person in front of him is that although his knife skills are not sharp, he is very tricky, front and back, left and right, from head to toe, where his knife is, he will kill it, and the change of tactics is very fast, this side just swept him in the air to block the fly, before he stepped forward to make up for the knife, this person's long knife in mid-air with the sound of the wind straight down, this is really a mess to kill the master, Wang Hu is obviously far better than him, and the combat experience is much higher than him, the knife is not as fast as him, but he was forced to stumble, and he was almost unable to dodge and let him be injured.

The guards behind Xu Liang saw that their adults were so brave, and they all struggled forward, slashing and killing. The defeated Ming army saw that the county lord personally grabbed the knife and went into battle, and was deeply encouraged, let out a shout, and turned back to kill it.

Xu Liang fought fiercely here, attracting the attention of Dai Yingying and Wan Wenshan, at this time the thieves who rushed up at the corner had been killed, and the thieves on the long ladder had also been knocked out of the city. When he passed the castle tower, he knocked aside Master He, who had run up to the city.

Wang Hu was on fire, and seeing that he was finally forced back by Xu Liang after finally getting out of the clearing, he shouted violently, picked up the big knife, and no longer cared about whether he would be injured by Xu Liang, blindly attacked, and did not defend at all. After a few knives, he shook the long knife in Xu Liang's hand out of his hand, Wang Hu was overjoyed, jumped up, and slashed at Xu Liang's chest with empty hands.

If this knife is solid, Xu Liang has to be split in half. At this critical moment, with a coquettish shout, a figure rushed in time, only to hear a bang, and the two long knives collided together, hitting a string of sparks. Wang Hu secretly said in his heart that it was a pity, and suddenly felt that he had been hit hard in the abdomen, and flew five steps away.

Dai Yingying's hair bun has been scattered, the long hair is messy in the wind, she is like crazy, with a knife light, towards the fall of Wang Hu rolled over, with a metal collision sound, a miserable scream, a coquettish reprimand, between the lightning and flint, Wang Hu's huge body flew straight back, spurting a string of blood beads in mid-air, others hit the battlements, and then fell down the city.

Both the thieves and the Ming army were stunned by this strange scene, and the battle seemed to have been halted by life, and even the movements of those who were fighting to the death slowed down. Seeing this, Xu Liang shouted: "Kill!" He picked up a knife beside him and rushed forward again.

The battle is back to normal. At this time, there were nearly fifty thieves on the head of the city, and the Ming army had less than twenty people, but the leader Wang Hu had been killed in battle and fell into the city, and the morale of the remaining thieves plummeted.

At this time, Wan Jiang's general leader had also arrived and joined the battle group.

The drumming of the city has stopped at some point. Yizhangqing, the leader of the thieves standing in front of the drum, watched in astonishment as Wang Hu fell straight down the city and fell into a pile of meat paste. Yizhangqing's body swayed, almost unsteady on his feet. Seeing this, his generals hurriedly stepped forward to support him. Yizhang Qing pushed it away, jumped off the drum platform, drew his sword, pointed at the city and shouted: "The whole army obeys the order, attack me!" ”

Seeing this, the two generals around him hugged Yizhang Qing and shouted, "General, don't!" ”

Yizhang Qing turned his head, stared at the general with red eyes, and said word by word: "If you dare to disobey the military order, Lao Tzu will split you!" ”

"General!" The general hurriedly said: "We have lost four or five thousand people, General Wang Hu has been killed in battle, and the long ladder for the siege of the city has been destroyed. The general knelt on the ground and mourned: "General, this Zhenyuan, we can't defeat it!" Retire, General! ”

The other generals also knelt down and persuaded: "General, retreat!" ”

Yizhang Qing looked blankly at the head of Zhenyuan City, the last long ladder was cut in two, and was falling down the city, and the soldiers under the city began to retreat in panic.

Yizhang Qing glanced at the direction where Wang Hu fell, and shouted angrily: "Retreat!" ”

The thieves receded as quickly as the waters of the ebbing tide, and a cheer erupted from the head of the castle. Xu Liang's official robe had been broken into pieces of cloth hanging on his body, and the cracked chest part revealed the silver-white soft armor, he threw the long knife in his hand, passed through the cheering crowd, and walked towards Dai Yingying, who was standing on the edge of the battlement, step by step, if Dai Yingying hadn't arrived in time, his little life would have been confessed, and Xu Liang would have to thank her no matter what he said.

After Wang Hu, the leader of the artesian thieves, fell from the city, Dai Yingying stood there motionless with a long knife, her long hair fluttering in the wind, covering half of her face.

Xu Liang came to her, wiped the blood stains on his face, and grinned: "Miss Dai, let's lose." ”

Dai Yingying did not move. Xu Liang came closer, and said sincerely: "It's fortunate that you arrived, otherwise ......"

Suddenly, Dai Yingying, who was motionless, threw a long knife, pounced on it, hugged Xu Liang, and cried out: "You scared me to death......"

The delicate body next to Xu Liang was still trembling slightly, obviously really frightened.
