Chapter 120: Desperate Survival
Li Xin fell into an unprecedented crisis, there were wolves at the front door and tigers at the back door, the fence wall collapsed, and the enemy situation outside was unknown, and unknown enemies flocked to the gap vacated after the fence fell. Seeing that there were more and more enemies, Li Xin understood that they had reached a life-and-death juncture, they had no way to retreat, and there was only one way to fight to the death in front of them, and being in a desperate situation stimulated his strong sense of war and desire to survive.
"Brothers, we have no way to retreat, fight to the death with me!"
When the soldiers were horse thieves, they followed Li Xin to the north and south, and now they are even more enemies on the line of life and death.
"Fight to the death! Fight to the death! ”
Suddenly, the morale was greatly boosted. However, there are more and more enemies, and it is still difficult to encourage support, but it is even more difficult to win in defeat. The enemy's offensive rhythm was very different from that of the regular army, and Li Xin was once beaten in a hurry, and after hand-to-hand combat, an obvious shortcoming was soon revealed.
This gang of thieves is all dressed in black night clothes, light and armorless, and they are all stretched out to be vigorous. Li Xin was rampaging among the men in black, and the Yanling knife flew left and right, and blood was splashed with each knife. The red-eyed Li Xin completely ignored the swords flying around him, and two of his own soldiers followed closely behind, clearing out the enemies who were trying to sneak attack on the flanks, and the rest of the people also cooperated with each other in groups of three. On the other hand, the black-clothed people on the attacking side fought separately, although they were all extremely athletic, but they were beaten in a hurry.
For a moment, the rhythm of the enemy's attack was actually suppressed by this hand-to-hand encounter, and it was obvious that this group of people would not be regular troops, so there was also a possibility that these people were thugs raised by someone. It may be more than enough to rob homes and rob houses, bully and bully the people, and it is obviously powerless to fight with soldiers who have experienced a hundred battles. If it weren't for the suddenness of the sneak attack and the advantage of being outnumbered, if Li Xin's 300 musket team was still there, even if there were thousands of people in this rabble, he would still be sure to defeat them and defeat them.
Li Xin's train of thought jumped quickly in the chaos, and many details jumped into his mind, but it was a mess and clueless. Although they temporarily controlled the situation, after all, there were many people on the other side, and it was not a long-term solution to hold on, so did they really want to die of exhaustion here?
Suddenly, a new force joined the battle group, and Li Xin looked back and saw that it was Lu Jiu.
"The back door is bluffing, it's enough to keep twenty people!"
Lu Jiu saw that the fence at the main gate had been destroyed, and that it was already at the critical moment, so he decisively divided half of his troops and brought dozens of people to reinforce Li Xin. Lu Jiu's addition made the morale of the originally declining spirit rise again, and the rush all the way actually drove the people in black out of the courtyard.
Li Xin immediately had the fallen fence erected again, and smashed the sharpened wooden stake, which was as tall as a man, into the ice-frozen hard soil with a sledgehammer, which was able to clamp the fence, and the gate that had fallen to the ground was also propped up. This cooperation has been smooth, and the crisis in front of him has been resolved.
The people in black jumped like thunder, seeing that victory was in sight, they were successfully counterattacked, and regrouped the people and horses, seeing that the posture was actually preparing to rush at any cost.
A thrilling counterattack by Shicai successfully repelled the enemy, and the morale of the group was even stronger, these people were outlaws, and this kind of Jedi often inspired them to fight to the death. Therefore, under this absolute disadvantage, not only did they not have low morale, but they became more and more courageous.
Li Xin is different, he is not an outlaw, after the initial impulse, he quickly calmed down, and held on to this place waiting for them There is only one fate, that is, to be wiped out by the men in black outside. During this brief interval in battle, Li Xin quickly glanced at the outer edge of the fence, which was the official road leading to Juyong Pass from east to west, but it went south for miles through dense woods and then meandered westward.
The woods are densely packed with bushes that are almost impassable, and to the north are vast snowfields, with snow at least not reaching the base of the thighs, making it difficult to walk in either direction. The rear of the yard was also covered with snow, which meant that there was only one official road to escape quickly.
If you want to go through the official path, you must defeat the black-clad enemies who hide in the darkness and don't know how many people do it. Seeing that the outside of the fence had been assembled, the attack was about to begin. The door of the main room of the big car shop with a raging fire on the roof was opened from the inside, and a person rushed out from inside, shouting as he ran: "Come in!" ”
Everyone was stunned, this person was a timid old man who was one of the shopkeepers, but how did he get to the main room of the big car shop? Li Xin was surprised to find that there was a person behind the old man, who was actually the second son of Huang who had repeatedly met unexpectedly.
How is he here too?
I saw that Huang Ergongzi had changed the image of the young man in the green robe and white scarf at this time, he was wearing a fleece sheepskin jacket and pants from top to bottom, and a dogskin hat on his head.
"How did Little Brother Huang get in?"
"It's hard to say, there is a tunnel in the main house, please Brother Li quickly follow me through the tunnel and leave this place."
Huang Ergongzi's voice fell, and the gate of the courtyard was slammed from the outside, and the enemy's onslaught began, seeing that the gate was crumbling. Li Xin didn't have time to think about it, pushed Lu Jiu down in front of Huang Ergongzi, and ordered sharply:
"After I stay, you immediately take your brothers and go first!"
Lu Jiu insisted on refusing, insisting that Li Xin go first, and actually argued with him.
"Brother Thirteen will go first, and Lu Jiu will come and break off!"
Seeing that the other party was arguing, Li Xin suddenly became anxious, and with a punch, it fell heavily on Lu Jiu's chest. The voice of the angry shouting was out of tune because of the excitement.
"This is an order, and you must carry it out unconditionally!"
"Thirteen Brothers......
"If you don't take the brothers out with all the beards and tails, don't call me Brother Thirteen!"
There was a sound of cheering outside the gate of the yard, and the gate and the fence were slammed, and it seemed that it would be unbearable if it hit it a few more times. Li Xin didn't care about arguing with Lu Jiu anymore, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, everyone came with me, and said that he would be the first to enter the big house. Huang Ergongzi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his anxious and handsome face, as if he was happy for Li Xin's decision.
Don't look at the fire outside, but there is not much smoke in the big house, but if you delay for a while, it may be burned down, and there is no time to delay. When Lu Jiu saw Li Xinken leaving, he stopped being verbose and followed. The old man of the shop took a few steps to the front and pointed to a tunnel that was only open to one person in the thick of the smoke.
"This is it!"
Li Xin waved his hand, "Go down!" ”
Huang Ergongzi secretly took a bucket of Li Xin.
"Brother Li, why don't you go down first?"
At this time and now, the identity of this little brother Huang is definitely not simple, and it is inextricably linked with the people outside, but now is not the time to investigate, after all, people are here to save themselves, so he said: "Thank you Little Brother Huang, you go down, Li Xin will arrive later!" ”
"Where is Lu Jiu? Quickly withdraw the brothers at the back door! ”
Lu Jiu immediately arranged for people to mingle gold, and as the sound of gold and iron striking resounded in the night sky, all the soldiers gave up their defense and began to shrink towards the big house.
At the same time, the main gate, which had been hit again and again, could no longer bear it, and the wooden stakes nailed into the frozen soil cracked and broke, and the entire gate and the door frame fell to the ground, and even the wooden fence that had just been reclamped collapsed.
The defense line of the yard has been broken, and there is no more obstruction. The black-clothed enemies roared in, Li Xin saw that the situation was not good, and pushed Huang Ergongzi into the entrance of the tunnel, although there were many doubts, he did not want to put this little brother Huang who always appeared mysteriously to help him in the danger of his life.
No matter where it leads, this tunnel always brings a glimmer of hope to his brothers. The big car shop yard is located in a cul-de-sac, and only the side near the official road is the exit. This kind of terrain was not suitable for a breakthrough, and when he had just taken advantage of the interval between battles to observe the terrain, he had already spotted the faint glow of fire in the southern woods, and knew that there must be an enemy lurking there, and it was almost impossible to break out by normal means.
What Li Xin can do now is to delay the enemy's offensive rhythm as much as possible, so that more people can evacuate first. He picked up the Yanling knife and rushed over, how could Lu Jiu leave Li Xin to escape alone, and he also followed him into the enemy formation.
Seeing that the soul of the two brothers, Li Xin and Lu Jiu, rushed into the enemy formation regardless of their own safety, the rest of the brothers no longer entered the tunnel, but followed and rushed up, killing Li Xin and Lu Jiu with him.
This time, the battle was extremely fierce, and the black-clad enemy successfully rushed into the gate by destroying the gate and fence, and as more and more people poured in, the advantage became more and more obvious.
On the other hand, Li Xin's morale is getting lower and lower, once he decided to escape from the tunnel, the previous tense morale was released to the bottom, and now he turned around and re-entered the battle, but this vented anger could not come back.
But driven by Li Xin and Lu Jiu's rampage, the brothers gradually have a heart of death, although the escape tunnel is in front of them, how can they leave their robes and escape alone?
Over there, Huang Ergongzi had already crawled out of the tunnel, originally seeing that Li Xin had agreed to go with him, he was happy, but when the governor came to the end, he suddenly changed his mind, not only did he not leave, but he was the first to rush out, secretly scolding this nerd for being so pedantic, and finally stomped his feet and rushed out, but he swore angrily in his heart that if he didn't pull this idiot away, he would not be surnamed Huang, and change his surname to Li with that nerd!
Seeing that Li Xin and his subordinates were gradually exhausted, and the people who waited for the back door for a while and a half were also surrounded, it would be difficult to leave when the time came!
Suddenly, a deafening explosion was heard outside the courtyard, and fireballs rose into the sky!
