Volume 1: The First Gathering of the Five Spirits Fourteen: Capture the Flag
The sound of fighting in the city was getting louder and louder, as long as he couldn't hear the sound of the Jin army's stone bullets falling, Li Jian knew that the Jin army must have climbed onto the city wall, and the two sides began to fight hand-to-hand, but the Jin army's arrows kept shooting in. He took people to inspect the city, the outside of the city was lively, but the city was deserted, whenever he approached the north gate, the screams of fighting, the sound of drums and horns, and the sound of blades hitting his chest wave after wave, he really wanted to go up to see and fight. When he was thinking about finding someone to replace him to do the patrol errand of this Laoshizi, he saw his uncle Li Tianxuan passing by in the city with a large group of cavalry, and he immediately stepped forward to ask, only to know that Li Tianxuan was ordered by Li Mao to take the cavalry out of the city to fight, he was originally injured, although he was half better, but there were still many inconveniences, but the war was like this, and he had to go out of the city to fight with the Jin army.
Before leaving, Li Tianxuan smiled and said to Li Jian: "Watch me cut that Qiu Feng in a while!" ”
Li Jian was very worried about Li Tianxuan's injury, and said, "Second Uncle must be more careful!" ”
"Don't worry, the knife that can kill your second uncle hasn't been hit yet!" After that, Li Tianxuan led the cavalry out of the city.
Another tour of the city, when Li Jian led people through the north gate again, the time was already past the afternoon, and I saw several herald soldiers hurriedly running down from the city to ride horses, and a herald saw Li Jian and shouted: "Young general! Li Jian looked at him and ran to him and asked, "What's the matter, but let me guard the south gate?" ”
"Exactly, the general did order the young general to go to the south gate." The herald said.
Li Jian ignored him, he had been in the city for most of the day, and he could hear that there was a fight in the city, but he couldn't help it, he had already been bored enough, he was like this, and it was estimated that the same was true of the team of soldiers behind him, he turned around and looked at the soldiers behind him, and asked loudly: "Are you willing to go to the city with me to kill the enemy?" ”
The soldiers blushed one by one, and they were about to go to the city to fight.
"But," the herald soldier became uneasy, "Young General, the general is ordering you to ......" Before he could finish speaking, Li Jian interrupted him, "Now it's an emergency, the sooner you go up, you can kill the retreating Jin army as soon as possible." You also go to the south gate, and tell the general there that he should send some men to patrol the city, and I will lead people to the city much faster than he will come from the south gate. With that, he took his people to the north gate of Luojing City.
The herald had no choice but to hurry to deliver the letter.
On the city wall, it has become a pot of porridge.
I don't know how many ladders are burning against the city wall. Arrows continued to shoot in from the smoke and flames outside the city, and countless long ladders were set up on the city wall, and one by one the Jin soldiers climbed the ladders and jumped up to the city with agility, and with a scream, they slashed into the crowd with their long knives shining with cold light. The corpses that had fallen on the ground covered almost the entire ground of the city wall, and the Liang army and the Jin army slashed at each other with red eyes on this corpse.
On the city wall still occupied by the Liang army, the soldiers guarded the pheasant, as long as a head popped out, it was a knife without thinking about it, but often either the knife slashed on the shield with a dull sound, or an arm holding a spear stretched out from the pheasant moat, and it was a stab.
The arrows were almost exhausted, and the Liang army was no longer able to carry out a dense salvo; The stone bullets were exhausted, and the soldiers who operated the stone throwing machine had already gone to the city to fight; The giant arrows of the spear crossbow have long been exhausted, but the soldiers of the Liang army also have a way, they use the few remaining spears and crossbows to fill the pocket of the jackdaw arrow with stones and then launch it into the city, which can also make the Jin army under the city scream, but the stone is a round and blunt thing, and the lethality is not as good as the jackdaw arrow after all. The ash bottles are exhausted, the rolling wood is exhausted, and only the stone can be used, in fact, it cannot be said that it is the stone, and the soldiers are desperately smashing the walls and bricks and roof tiles from the houses in the city.
A large section of the city wall has fallen into the hands of the Jin army, where there is a cloud ladder against the city wall, the Jin soldiers are running up to the city through the cloud ladder, the Jin soldiers saw that the city wall has been taken by the people who rushed up, so they pushed the remaining few cloud ladders to change the direction and slowly leaned towards the section of the city wall. A person who looked like a general of the Jin army carried a flag from the ladder to the head of the city, and waved the big flag in his hand towards the Jin army under the city, and suddenly the crowd of the Jin army under the city cheered.
Li Mao pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword, gloomy as he watched the battle on the city wall. Suddenly, a tide of horses' hooves came, he looked down the city, and saw Li Tianxuan with the cavalry of the Liang army from one side of the battlefield rampage, just like a dagger on a piece of tofu, the cavalry cut horizontally in the entire Jin army's tidal formation, along the way the horse stepped on human bones, swords split heads, and blood waves rolled out from the other side of the Jin army's military formation.
The cavalry of the Jin army wandering on both flanks also moved, blowing their horns and killing Li Tianxuan's cavalry violently.
However, Li Tianxuan didn't give them a chance, and with an order, the cavalry of the Liang army turned their horses and rushed over from the Jin army under the city. These two rounds of rushing and killing relieved a lot of pressure on the Liang army in the city, and there was a gap like two roads in the black pressure of the Jin army, and the ladder close to the Luojing city wall was grabbed by the rope hook they threw and collapsed with the help of horsepower, Li Tianxuan was even more lazy to swing the knife to cut, and leaned forward slightly on the horse, the saber in his hand poked out, and the blade moved forward, with the help of the high speed of the war horse, harvesting the heads of the Jin army like cutting ears of wheat.
Li Mao nodded, but after turning his head, his face became even more gloomy, and he saw that a general of the Jin army actually planted a banner of the Jin army on the wall of Luojing City, where there was a cloud ladder still there, and the Jin army continued to go up to the city, although his own people fought to the death, they couldn't get close for a while.
As soon as he turned his head to find someone to say something, he saw another city wall not far away, several Liang troops were falling like hedgehogs, and several Jin soldiers were jumping up from the long ladder. But there was no one to send around, and some of the generals under him were fighting with the Jin army on the city wall, so he ordered the servants around him to protect him to recapture that section of the city wall, and the task of those servants was to protect Li Mao's safety, how could he be willing to leave Li Mao here, so angry that Li Mao scolded: "If this city is broken, the old man will also die!" Don't go yet! The servants had no choice but to leave two close protectors to protect Li Mao, and the rest rushed to the place where they were lost.
Li Jian also saw the banner of the Jin army erected on the city wall, so he stepped on the dead corpse under his feet, swung the long sword in his hand and killed it, he must pull out the flag and take back that section of the city wall! He was ruthless in his heart.
A spear suddenly appeared on the back of a Liang soldier who was fighting in front of him, almost stabbing Li Jian as well, and with a scream, the Liang soldier began to fall softly, and Li Jian sent the long sword into the throat of the Jin soldier who had just finished killing without waiting for the spear to be withdrawn. When he drew his sword, he leaned forward, and pulled out the long knife he was wearing from the waist of the Jin army who was covering his neck and slowly softening. As soon as the knife was drawn, his left hand slashed diagonally, cutting off a spear that pierced his ribs, and the long sword in his right hand stabbed straight through, and the tip of the sword penetrated through the left eye of the Jin army who attacked him two inches into his skull. Then the swords and swords were twisted together, and several Jin soldiers who rushed over were either beheaded or pierced in their throats.
Further back, the spear in the hand of a Liang sergeant pierced into the abdomen of a Jin army, the seriously injured Jin sergeant held a knife in one hand, and the other hand tightly held the spear that pierced into his belly, and also used dead force, one hand actually held the spear tightly, so that the Liang sergeant who stabbed him could not withdraw the weapon for a while, and the other hand waved the long knife indiscriminately, screaming and trying to hack the other party to death, Li Jian passed by them, and cut off the wrist of the Jin sergeant with a sword, and the Liang sergeant immediately withdrew the spear, Immediately, with both arms sent, he stabbed the spear that was still holding a severed hand into the chest of the Jin army.
In the chaos of the battle, Li Jian's armor has been soaked in blood, as more and more Jin troops ambushed under his sword, but he found that he was gradually stepping into a pleasant coolness from an unbearable heat, the more chaotic and dangerous the surroundings, the more clear his heart became, and even said that on the wall of this bloody hell, his heart was never peaceful and calm.
It's a wonderful feeling, the oncoming Jin army, whether it is a long knife or a spear that stabs over, or the arrows that continue to shoot up under the city, he can clearly know when it will touch himself, as long as he dodges lightly, he can avoid it, and then the long sword is handed out, specifically looking for the opponent's eyes, throat, wrists and other places that cannot be protected by armor. Li Mao is already old and decrepit, even if Li Tianxuan sees this, he will sigh to himself.
Those Liang soldiers who followed Li Jian to kill together were even more surprised, and saw the young general holding a sword in his right hand, a long knife in his left hand for a while, a shield for a while, and a half spear for a while, and his arms danced like the back of his head also had a pair of eyes to see through the front and back, and the Jin army couldn't hurt him at all, and he went all the way to kill all the way to the Jin army's blood gushing, this scene made the Liang soldiers greatly encouraged, shouting and killing like a tiger into a flock of sheep.
The general of the Jin army who rushed to the city to plant the flag also noticed Li Jian, obviously surprised that there was such a brave figure in the Liang army, but when he saw it clearly, he found that it was actually a half-grown child, so he first saved a little contempt, smiled and stepped forward to separate the Jin soldiers, picked up two iron bones and smashed them at Li Jian.
Li Jian lightly sided, let Tie Guduo, the long sword in his right hand had quietly followed, and gently wiped it between the throats of the Jin army generals, and the Jin army generals immediately lost Tie Guduo and covered his throat with both hands, and plasma had spurted out between his fingers, staring at Li Jian in disbelief, Li Jian saw that he was stout, afraid that he would not die, and the half of the spear in his left hand stabbed from the right ear of the Jin army general into the left ear. As soon as the general died, the Jin soldiers who attacked the city were suddenly horrified, and the Liang soldiers behind Li Jian saw this and killed them with a burst of cheers and shouts.
Coming to the banner of the Jin army, Li Jian held the hilt of the sword with both hands, twisted his body, and cut the arm-thick flagpole into two sections with a bang.
The Liang army in the city let out a burst of cheers.
"Burn it!" Li Jian pointed to the ladder and ordered, at this time, the Jin army on this section of the city wall had been killed.
"Whoa!" The soldiers responded loudly, and soon found oil and other things to start the fire, and soon the ladder was on fire.
Li Mao's eyes widened when he found that the person who had simply killed the Jin army's fierce generals and cut off the Jin army's banner with a sword was actually his grandson, and he couldn't help but be surprised and worried.
I was surprised that my grandson was so brave, and I was worried about what if this kid had an accident, my son asked him to be sent to fight outside the city, the danger was abnormal, and he prepared for the worst when he gave the order. Why did he come here, but he can't say this now, and he doesn't have a chance to say it, so he has to nod at Li Jian from afar. In his heart, he scolded Qiu Feng Pifu, which one of my sons and grandsons had an accident, and the old man tried his best to drag you to the funeral.
