"Fence up, don't let them run!"

A large number of forbidden troops swarmed and blocked the alleys at both ends of the Liu Mansion.

Sure enough, as soon as Xu Rui and his entourage left Liu's mansion, they met the forbidden army sent by Huang Zhengyuan to chase and kill.

In the case of such a tight war in the palace, Huang Zhengyuan still deducted 800 elites from the weak defense line to encircle and suppress Xu Rui, which shows that Huang Zhengyuan's fear of Xu Rui is far greater than that of the King of Liao.

Originally, if Xu Rui left immediately, he didn't have to bump into these forbidden troops, and the trouble was that if Xu Rui left, the Liu Mansion would probably follow in the footsteps of Huang Tingzhi, so Xu Rui would inevitably have to take the people from the Liu Mansion with him.

However, because Liu Yi had rejected Xu Rui's proposal to evacuate Changxing City several times before, the Liu Mansion was not prepared at all, and after Liu Yi left, the resolute Mrs. Liu insisted on waiting at home, vowing to live and die with Liu Yi, and no one would persuade her to leave.

After wasting a lot of precious time, Xu Rui had to use the same trick against Princess Qixia again, knocking Mrs. Liu unconscious and forcibly taking her away.

But in this way, Xu Rui had to face the dilemma of fleeing with the people when Liu Bei was defeated and fled to Xinye.

On one side were the panicked Liu Fu's subordinates, and on the other side were the elite of the 800 forbidden army who were pursuing, and the road to escape was difficult.

As soon as Xu Rui went out, he was blocked by a rain of arrows, and he had no choice but to rely on the firepower advantage of the submachine gun to temporarily hold the gate.

However, the current situation is far from optimistic.

First, Xu Rui calculated that under the scuffle of forces from all sides, he must have no extra energy to take care of him, and he didn't plan to stay longer when he came to Liu Mansion this time.

Therefore, there are only a dozen personal soldiers around him, and there are only more than 50 Jinyi guards brought by Li Kuang temporarily, and the weapons and ammunition are very limited, even if he relies on Liu's mansion for defense, he will not last long at all.

Huang Zhengyuan has been friends with King Yu, King Su and Xu Rui for many years, and he is one of the few people in the world who knows Xu Rui very well.

Second, at present, Changxing City has been completely out of control, all forces have taken the stage to wrestle, the situation is changing rapidly, every minute and every second is a fatal time, not to mention being directly wiped out by the 800 forbidden army, even if it is only blocked for a moment, it is possible to completely cut off the hope of evacuating Changxing.

In desperation, Xu Rui had no choice but to go into battle in person, organizing a limited number of troops to carry out two rounds of charges, in a vain attempt to use the advantage of firepower to forcibly open a breakthrough and break through.

However, the Praetorian Army clearly came prepared this time.

At the beginning, in order to give the forbidden army the strength to "extinguish fires", Emperor Hongwei not only equipped it with a large number of repeating crossbows, but also a large number of grenades.

This time to encircle and suppress Xu Rui, Huang Zhengyuan also made a bloody investment, and brought a large number of crossbows and grenades in the forbidden army, although the firepower is still inferior to the Apocalypse Guard, but the victory is too many, completely erasing the gap between the two sides.

Xu Rui led people to rush twice, but he didn't expect that the other party's grenades were more than his own, so he could only immediately order a retreat, and returned to Liu's mansion in a disgraced manner to resist stubbornly.

"I didn't expect you to shoot yourself in the foot one day, right?"

Li Kuang, who was blackened and gray by the black smoke of the grenade, leaned against the courtyard wall, panting and joking with Xu Rui bitterly.

Xu Rui bandaged the wounds of the injured soldier with a medical bag, and snorted coldly: "Don't be complacent, the losses I have suffered will definitely be recovered a hundredfold or a thousandfold!" ”

Li Kuang rolled his eyes and said, "If you don't brag, you'll die?" I would have believed what you said in normal times, but now, people are wolves, and you are just sheep out of the pen, what can you get back? ”

Xu Rui focused on the movements in his hands and did not speak.

Li Kuang said again: "Hey, I didn't expect that Huang Zhengyuan usually looks inconspicuous, his heart is more ruthless than anyone else, and his eyes are poisonous, don't you regret keeping this person by your side all the time?" ”

Xu Rui shook his head: "The person who knows you best will always be your enemy, whether he is by my side or not, he will know me the same, not to mention that I have never underestimated him." ”

"Oh?"

Li Kuangqi said: "Your champion Hou Young Dezhi, I thought no one was in your eyes, in the past, when I saw Huang Zhengyuan following you and the two princes, I thought he was insignificant, but I didn't expect you to speak so highly of him?" ”

Xu Rui sneered and said: "It's not that I have a high opinion of him, just by looking at him as a person from King Yu, but he can mix like a fish in water in the household under the control of King Liao, you know that this person is not simple."

What's more, his background is just an ordinary rich family in Jiangnan, and he can be the top student in high school, be appreciated by King Yu, and become a confidant step by step, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

If King Yu really sits on the throne, he will become the capital of the cabinet in less than three years, and then it will be his time, which is definitely 10,000 times more difficult to deal with than Huang Ting. ”

Li Kuang listened to Xu Rui's words, thought about it carefully, it was really such a truth, and couldn't help but arouse curiosity again, and the thief smiled: "Hey, look at this posture, I'm afraid he also regards you as a lifelong enemy, is it your fate to love and kill each other?" ”

"Get out!"

Xu Rui scoffed at Li Kuang's statement and said coldly: "He is very powerful, but he also follows the trend, and the real strong man is his own momentum." ”

Li Kuang rolled his eyes: "Yes, it's still the champion Hou who has nothing to do." ”

At this moment, two grenades suddenly fell into the courtyard, Xu Rui's pupils shrank, and he hurriedly shouted: "Lie down!! ”

"Boom !!"

Tian Qiwei's personal soldiers are well-trained, most of them are veterans who have been on the battlefield, and they have already formed muscle memory of all the processes before the explosion of the hand mine, and they fell down without waiting for Xu Rui's reminder.

However, most of the people in Jinyiwei had seen the power of the grenade for the first time, and after hearing Xu Rui's shout, only half of them lay down according to the words, and the rest of them were immediately beaten into a sieve by the flying shrapnel.

"Ahem, these grandchildren...... Ahem......"

Li Kuang broke free from Xu Rui's protection, fanned away the gunpowder smoke in front of him hard, and when he saw Jinyiwei fall a large piece, his eyes immediately turned red and he scolded his mother.

"Ready, they're attacking!"

Xu Rui ignored Li Kuang's appearance, his face sank, and he immediately ordered.

The soldiers had already made preparations, and Xu Rui gave an order, immediately got up from the ground, picked up a submachine gun and aimed it at the gate of Liu's mansion.

As soon as Xu Rui's words fell, the forbidden soldiers really began to charge inside from outside the gate.

"Da Da Da!"

The submachine guns were blazing, and the first five or six people to rush in immediately fell like wheat.

However, this time the forbidden army did not give up easily, in addition to the main gate, the courtyard wall, the back house, and the east and west compartments became their targets, like locusts coming from all directions.

"It's over."

When Li Kuang saw this scene, he immediately smiled bitterly, this is like a big ship leaking everywhere, blocking the east end, but not the west end, I am afraid that it will not take long to become completely sunk.

"Shut your beak and give me a good shot!"

Xu Rui pulled the stunned Li Kuang back, stuffed him with a submachine gun, and asked him to fight together.

Li Kuang is also a person who has been on the battlefield, and this time he finally got serious, holding a submachine gun and sweeping towards several forbidden troops nearby.

However, he didn't expect the recoil of the submachine gun to be so great, and he didn't hit half of the magazine.

Xu Rui glanced at Li Kuang, and there were more and more enemies pouring in, and he was too late to teach Li Kuang on the spot.

Li Kuang lost face, his heart was ruthless, and he raised his gun again and swept towards the forbidden army, fortunately, he was a master, and after getting ready, a little recoil was not difficult for him, this time a few stray bullets finally hit the enemy, and the forbidden army screamed again and again.

However, the good times didn't last long, and Li Kuang, who had just reaped the results, found that the submachine gun was out of bullets before he had time to be proud, and sighed and said to Xu Rui: "Hey, this can't be done, do you still have a way?" ”

Xu Rui also happened to finish firing a magazine, and was about to change the bullets, when he heard Li Kuang's words, he opened his mouth, and before he could say anything, he suddenly heard a piercing roar like a crow's howl, and his face suddenly became exciting.

"Boom !!"

A series of loud noises exploded near Liu's Mansion, a huge mushroom cloud rose instantly, the entire Liu's Mansion trembled, and the forbidden army who was desperately killing it suddenly cried and shouted for his mother, with heavy casualties.

"It's artillery, new artillery!"

Li Kuang was blown back and forth by the air wave of the explosion, but he still couldn't help but exclaim.

He remembered clearly that when he went to inspect the new batch of artillery of Tianqiwei on behalf of Emperor Hongwei, the explosion he encountered was exactly like this.

In an instant, Li Kuang seemed to be desperate to survive, and he was immediately overjoyed!
