"Caught up."

Ma Zheng laughed loudly, he pulled out the long sword at his waist and walked towards Zhang Hu.

Zhang Hu didn't have Uncle Li's answer, so he could only rely on the few people he brought up to fight with Ma Zheng and others.

Swords.

Everyone walks between life and death.

Ma Dudu left his eldest son here, and when he left, he only ordered a few hundred men to guard these guards, because he wanted to bring more men and horses to help Song Dudu meet Li Xu.

Hundreds of people guarded these guards, and the manpower was scattered to divide a guard post into dozens of people, Li Xu asked people to attack the guards, and there must be a lot of people sent, and this must be a vicious battle.

But Ma Zheng was not alarmed, he was very happy, the more soldiers and horses his father took away, the more favorable the next big battle would be, and his father might be safer.

Li Xu's people hid in the dark and waited for an opportunity to move, they responded to all changes with the same, and there were fewer and fewer soldiers around them, but they gritted their teeth and survived these days.

The cannon sounded, and Lord Song and his father made a move.

Li Xu thought that he wanted to make a false shot, and turned back to attack Lord Song, but he didn't know that Lord Song was waiting for him there.

Joyfully!

Now he can finally let go of the burden in his heart and fight for the last time.

Ma Zheng said: "Kill these collaborators." ”

Zhang Hu's eyes were red, there were not many people on this guard, Ma Zheng had been injured before, if Uncle Li cooperated with him to attack the city, they would not necessarily lose.

This damn thing, no wonder Gongzi would suspect Uncle Li, and at the critical moment, as Gongzi's brother, he would run away.

Knowing this, he killed Uncle Li in advance.

Zhang Hu regretted it but it was too late, Ma Zheng stared at him, like a tiger that had found its prey, and would definitely not let him escape from here.

"You go first, and Li Xu will arrive later." Ma Zheng stabbed Zhang Hu with a sword.

……

The earth trembled, and the fire flickered in the darkness.

A general's cannon exerts its might.

The vanguard did not expect a sudden attack, and immediately became chaotic, not only because they were afraid of the power of firearms, but also because of the enemy's knowledge of them.

It is impossible for such a bulky firearm to be transported here for a moment, and it must have been arranged a long time ago.

Why do enemies know their whereabouts?

Gongzi asked them to rob and kill Song Chengxuan's soldiers and horses, but now they have fallen into the trap of others.

"Retreat." At this time, if the enemy army kills again, they will definitely have no way to live.

The lieutenant shouted, and everyone fled backwards, but it was still too late, and countless arrows rushed in his darkness.

Li Xu couldn't help frowning when he heard the sound of artillery.

"Childe, it's not good, there is an ambush ahead."

Li Xu ordered people to march while it was dark, in order to be familiar with the surrounding situation and seize the opportunity, so that they could hide their tracks in the dark and not be easily discovered by the opponent's scouts.

"Childe, you leave first, those people are hiding in the shadows to sneak attack, we will inevitably suffer if we are caught off guard, we can't directly confront them, survive tonight, after dawn, they will have nothing to hide......"

After the cannonade stopped, the screams continued, thinking that there was another ambush.

"Song Chengxuan was born at sea, he may have been a pirate, full of tricks, uninhibited tactics, and the son must not compete with the grass at this time."

Torches lit up in the ranks, and everyone looked around, the sneak attack on the vanguard team had affected the morale of the army.

Li Xu said: "Song Chengxuan originally didn't have many people, and some of them stayed in the guard, they really had an ambush and would rely on the city not far ahead to fight with me, and now the terrain can't be used by anyone, he came to sneak attack but to frustrate our spirit, don't panic."

There was a village to the west, and we would retreat there and camp there. "Since he has no chance, he has to stabilize the situation.

There will be no big battle before dawn, and no matter how powerful Song Chengxuan is, he can't swallow all his soldiers and horses in one bite.

The village was not far away, and Li Xu and the others quickly rushed to the village.

"The village seems to be gone."

The guards stepped forward to give a notice.

Li Xu looked at the village with the torch, turned over and dismounted, he knew that there was a village here, because when he joined the army, he and Zhou Yue had been here.

He thought that he would definitely return, but he didn't expect that when he revisited the old land, it would be like this.

"Amitabha, don't look for the donor, the people in the village are gone."

Li Xu raised his head and saw a monk walking slowly.

The face of the monk in the dark was not very clear, but Li Xu recognized it at a glance, this monk was the person who appeared in his dream, Li Xu couldn't help but sink in his heart, but his face was still silent, and ordered: "Let people guard along the village, we will settle here." ”

The lieutenant general next to him responded, and immediately went to arrange it.

Li Xu dismounted and walked to the monk's side: "There is no one in the village, why is the master here?" ”

The monk said: "The old man has no fixed place, he comes and goes by heart, it is about fate, so he will stay here for a few more days." ”

Li Xu looked at the monk: "Has the master ever seen me?" ”

The monk raised his head and looked at Li Xu: "I can't remember, but looking at the face of the donor, do you have doubts in your heart and want to ask the old man?" ”

Li Xu looked at the village: "Can the master go in and talk about it?" ”

The two of them walked into the room, the guards put down the two lamps, Li Xu looked at the monk opposite again, the light shone on the monk's face, and the dream of that day became particularly clear, as if the scene at this moment had been merged with the dream.

Li Xu said: "Does the master know where all the people in this village have gone?" ”

"I heard that they went to join the army," the monk said, "and the court fought against the Tatars, and the men of the village went to the guard, and the old and weak women and children went to seek refuge with a Song grandmother." ”

Li Xu was in a trance for a while, always felt that this scene was familiar, and his mind was chaotic, as if he saw a group of people coming towards him, he wanted to see this scene clearly, but suddenly had a headache, until the sound of someone chanting Buddhist scriptures sounded in his ears, and the uncomfortable feeling gradually disappeared without a trace, leaving nothing in his mind.

After a while, Li Xu stabilized his mind and raised his head to look at the monk, who also stopped chanting and looked at him quietly.

"Who are you?" Li Xu's eyes were sharp, "Who asked you to come?" "He didn't believe much in sorcery, but the monk's business was so strange that he had to be suspicious.

"Amitabha," the monk said, "the old man just saw that the donor was restless, and he was reciting a Buddhist scripture, and the old man was just a monk, and he happened to meet the donor here." ”

"But I've dreamed of a master," Li Xu said, "since we haven't seen each other, why does the master appear in my dream?" ”

The monk made a Buddhist ritual: "Everything has a fate, everything has a cause and effect, but we don't know where the fate comes from, if we can see it clearly, neither I nor the donor will be here." ”

Li Xu looked at the light: "It's like someone who knows you very well, but you don't know the reason, and always wants to see through this, but in the end you get nothing." ”

"It's not someone else that the donor can't see through, it should be himself!" The monk said, "If a person deceives himself for too long, he will not be able to discern the true direction and see through the true self." ”

I don't know why, Li Xu heard a little sadness from the monk's words, as if he was a poor man.

Li Xu said lightly: "The master is taking pity on me? ”

"The Buddha has mercy on the world, and the old man is not the Buddha, but the old man has pity on the poor people who are obsessed."
