Chapter 61: Rushing to the Top
When Liu Shiyu received a report from the soldiers that smoke was coming from the direction of Jiayuan City, he still felt incredible.
The beacon smoke shows that there is an enemy attack and the battle situation is tight, and now in the boundary of Jiayuan City, there is no other army except for the remnants of Xi Jian.
He also thought of Xiong'an Village, but there were only two or three hundred people in the village, how could he dare to attack a city.
The smoke has not dispersed for a long time, indicating that it was not ignited by mistake. Although Liu Shiyu couldn't figure out what was going on, he was safe and ordered the army to return to the city.
As for the remnants of Xi Jian's army, with those 2,000 ambush soldiers, even if they can't be completely annihilated, they can be defeated.
I don't know why, Liu Shiyu has an uneasy feeling in his heart.
Sure enough, when more than an hour later, the exhausted army rushed to the outside of Jiayuan City, but found that it was unusually calm, and the willow-shaped banner disappeared, leaving only the smoke of the beacon fire rising.
Liu Shiyu looked at Jiayuan City with the gate closed in shock, all of which showed that Jiayuan City had been broken.
"Order the scouts to investigate the four gates and see how many guards there are!"
If the failure of the attack on Xiong'an Village is forgivable, the loss of Jiayuan City is unforgivable, and he must take the city back no matter what.
Just when Liu Shiyu stationed his army outside the city and planned to attack the city, Ma Yun and Qin Ming also arrived at the city wall.
"Do the brothers have the strength to fight again?" Ma Yun looked at the army under the city feverishly.
The meaning of Ma Yun's words couldn't be clearer, and Qin Ming immediately responded positively: "Of course there is, my old Qin hasn't been killed yet!"
"My old canon is no problem, isn't it just a few thousand shrimp soldiers!" Dian Jun is also a rough person, and he and Qin Ming have the same smell within a few days, and they only hate each other.
Only Lu Shenjiang had a hesitant look on his face: "Village master, the brothers have just finished fighting, and the number of the other party is several times that of me, is it wrong to take the initiative to attack." ”
"Haha, I know that General Lu is a stable person, and it is most suitable for this Jiayuan City to be handed over to you to guard. Brother Qin, Brother Dian, all five hundred brothers, let's go and kill. Liu Shiyu's army has been running for a long time, and it is when it is tired, and the formation has not been set. Our army has just captured the city, and the momentum is in full swing, just in one go!
Ma Yun's words were impassioned and full of pride, and even General Lu Shen was excited, asking to go into battle to kill, and was finally stayed. There is no boss in the city!
Before Liu Shiyu could get the return of the spies, the west gate of Jiayuan City suddenly opened, and the suspension bridge was slowly lowered. This scene was clearly seen by Liu Shiyu, and his complexion immediately changed greatly.
"Array, prepare to defend!" Liu Shiyu's voice echoed in the military formation.
He really did not expect the enemy to take the initiative to attack, and if he gave the order to retreat at this time, he would be pursued, so he had to line up to meet him.
He was still a little conceited in his heart, he expected that the number of enemies would not be too many, and if he could take the opportunity to destroy this wave of troops rushing out of the city, then the chances of attacking the city would be much greater.
Liu Shiyu's army was well-trained, and upon hearing the order to form a formation, he quickly formed a defensive formation: sword and shield men in front and archers in the rear.
Liu Shiyu drew his sword and walked to the front line. At this time, as the commander, he personally went into battle to kill the enemy, so as to boost the morale of the soldiers.
Before the drawbridge had completely landed, Ma Yun had already rushed out with a spear in the lead, and the Dianjun dancer with a big axe, wearing black iron armor, followed closely behind.
In the battle on the battlefield, the damage of the long weapon was huge, so Ma Yun got a spear.
As for Qin Ming, he was temporarily left under the city gate, and with his skills, in the face of dense arrows, it was inevitable that he would be damaged. Just wait for Ma Yun and Dian to break up the formation, and Qin Ming will lead his troops to kill again.
When he saw that only two people rushed out, Liu Shiyu snorted coldly, "It's too much to deceive people!" and then ordered the arrow to be released.
Dense arrows flew towards the two of them, but they were not afraid at all. Ma Yun was in front of the spear dance, and the pawn was behind, resisting the arrows on both sides, and for a while, the arrow rain was helpless.
Liu Shiyu has always been very jealous of Ma Yun, but he has never met Ma Yun. Judging from the strength displayed by Ma and the two, they both have the level of high-level martial artists, but as a person who has killed high-level martial artists, he has not yet taken the two of them in his eyes.
Finally, a few feet away from Liu Shiyu's army, Ma Yun jumped up and flew straight towards the enemy, avoiding a rain of arrows, but the place where he landed was already covered with a dense field of spears. Ma Yun stabbed the spear downward, stabbing it on the tip of a spear with great accuracy, and his body flew up again.
At this moment, Liu Shiyu also jumped up and slashed at Ma Yun with the sword in his hand.
"It's a good time!" Ma Yun discovered Liu Shiyu's existence when he was in the air, and judging from the armor, this person should be Liu Shiyu.
Capture the thief and capture the king first, as long as you win the boss, half of the battle will be won.
Liu Shiyu also had this idea, taking advantage of Ma Yun's body in the air, he raised his sword and attacked it. It's just that Ma Yun's speed suddenly became much faster, and the spear in his hand instantly roared straight to Liu Shiyu's chest. Liu Shiyu's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly slashed towards the spear.
With a "bell", Ma Yun's spear infused with mysterious energy was actually cut off, the spearhead flew to the side, and the spear body stabbed Liu Shiyu's body fiercely.
I don't know what kind of armor Liu Shiyu was wearing, but the spear body was blocked. Liu Shiyu spat blood and flew back.
"It's him!" Liu Shiyu glanced at Ma Yun, and ran towards the carriage without saying a word.
After Ma Yun wounded Liu Shiyu, a group of soldiers with spears surrounded his feet. He flipped in the air and fell with his head down.
Seeing that he was about to hit the spear, Ma Yun stretched out his hands and held the two spears, and with a little force, the two spears were snatched over, the spears danced wildly, knocking down a group of people, and just fell to the ground, another group of soldiers surrounded him.
Taking advantage of this, Liu Shiyu had already run more than ten zhang away and got into the carriage.
In the kung fu of Ma Yun and Liu Shiyu, Dian Jun danced the big axe and rushed directly to the front of the formation, the big axe waved, the strong shield wall was smashed out of a gap, Dian Jun rushed into the gap, the big axe rotated, and a group of people fell down.
Ma Yun was unwilling to let Liu Shiyu go, and killed the carriage.
Qin Ming, who was waiting anxiously under the city gate, saw that the two of them had already rushed the enemy formation, and hurriedly led his troops to kill them.
Liu Shiyu's defeat and the bravery of Ma and Dian greatly affected the morale of the army.
Qin Ming led his troops to kill, and if he was destroyed, he would kill Liu Shiyu's army and flee in all directions.
Ma Yun quickly reached the carriage, only to find that the carriage had been sealed and was surrounded by strong iron plates.
The surrounding soldiers frantically rushed towards him, and Ma Yun didn't care about attacking the carriage for a while, and danced his spear and fought fiercely.
Ma Yun once again experienced that hearty feeling, and led 500 soldiers to kill Liu Shiyu's 3,000 army to pieces.
When Ma Yun and the others were in the middle of a fierce battle, a large army came out from the side, and it was Xi Jian's Beifu soldiers who rushed back.
At this time, Liu Shiyu's army completely lost morale and fled in all directions. The morale of one side was high, and the other side was only concerned with fleeing, and the result can be imagined, the 3,000-strong army was quickly slaughtered.
For a while, on the huge battlefield, there was no more soldier of Liu Shiyu, only the carriage stood there alone.
"Village master, how can this carriage have no door!" Qin Ming banged around the carriage.
"Brother Qin, let the brothers stand back, and you will also stand back. With intuition, Liu Shiyu gave up the opportunity to escape and got into the carriage, which must not be simple.
Although Qin Ming was reluctant, he still did so.
"Village master, this is Liu Shiyu's carriage. Liu Shiyu people!" Xi Jian walked over and recognized the carriage at a glance.
"This man is in the carriage right now. Ma Yun said with a smile.
"What, in the carriage, look at Lao Dian and I'll split him!" Dian Jun raised his axe and was about to cut it off, but was stopped by Ma Yun.
"Everyone back off, this carriage is weird, I'm afraid there is a mechanism or something. Find some ropes and drag them back into the city. "The horses that originally pulled the cart have long been let go by Ma Yun.
The conversation of everyone clearly reached Liu Shiyu's ears in the carriage, and he was sitting in the carriage with a hideous face at this time.
"This Xi Jian is not dead, and he is still colluding with the thief village. Ben Shuai fell for their plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, which is really hateful!"
"This pool of hundred poisons, I'm afraid it won't be able to be saved this time. So far, you can only release the poisonous gas, but if you smell some, just wait for the poison to die!"
This poisonous qi was really powerful, without the slightest taste, and by the time Ma Yun found out that something was wrong, Qin Ming, Dian Jun, Xi Jian, and many soldiers who had been in contact with the carriage had already fallen to the ground unconscious.
Even Ma Yun himself has severe chest pain and dizziness, but he is not in a coma. Immediately took out a panacea and took it, and the discomfort in his body improved slightly.
"Hmph, you know how powerful Ben Shuai's carriage is, who dares to touch Ben Shuai's carriage now. Those people should have been poisoned, and it was time for Ben Shuai to leave. Liu Shiyu reluctantly looked at the pool and twisted a mechanism beside him.
I saw the carriage explode with a "bang", mixed with countless steel needles shooting out in all directions.
Ma Yun was the closest, and the steel needles were extremely small, so he picked up a corpse on the ground in a hurry, which blocked most of the steel needles, and was still pierced by a few of them.
The wound was itchy, but fortunately, the mysterious energy flowed through, and the itching sensation quickly disappeared. This steel needle is coated with poison, but the toxicity is not as strong as the poisonous gas.
At the same time, Liu Shiyu showed his figure, and when he saw that Ma Yun was still standing, he was shocked, rushed out, and took out a bottle from his arms, poured out a crimson pill, and swallowed it without looking.
Just when Ma Yun was about to catch up with him, Liu Shiyu's figure suddenly became much faster, even a little faster than Ma Yun, Ma Yun chased a hundred zhang away, but was pulled away a few zhang away.
Thinking of Xi Jian and the others who were poisoned and fell to the ground, Ma Yun hesitated and gave up chasing.
Although the elixir is magical, it has an effect on people with special physiques like Ma Yun, after Xi Jian and others took the elixir, they only had a faint breath, and they still did not wake up.
Ma Yun immediately remembered Bajie. That night, Bajie showed his might, devouring the toxins in the air, and then fell asleep, waking up with a faint golden line on his head.
After that incident, he knew that Bajie was by no means an ordinary animal, and he was even more delicious and served to it.
He hurriedly ordered someone to ride a fast horse to pick up Bajie, and it took an hour to go back and forth.
After Bajie arrived, he took a few breaths around the poisoned people, and those people's breaths became much stronger, and Ma Yun was slightly relieved.
It's just that Bajie didn't know what food he ate, and the breath he spit out smelled of garlic!
Liu Shiyu ran wildly for more than ten miles before stopping at a dense forest.
At this time, his face was red, his muscles were bursting up, and he looked viciously in the direction of Jiayuan City.
"Damn, in order to escape for my life, I have to take that blood poison pill, and the injured Ben Shuai will have to reduce his life span by at least five years! I will definitely come back and kill you cleanly!"
