Chapter 28: Breakout
In the distance, Shangjing City was already looming, but their situation was precarious.
Xu Chuan forcibly tore a strip of cloth from his body and wrapped the hilt of his sword with his right hand.
He looked at Zhan Yingying and said, "Hey, the distance is almost the same, if no one answers, we will really be done." ”
Along the way, Zhan Yingying naturally didn't do nothing, she passed on a secret way that only the Zhan family royal family knew, and sent a message to Beijing.
To prevent exposure, she used the ciphertext she used to lead the army.
The reason why they planned to enter Beijing today was originally something agreed upon in the ciphertext.
According to the agreement, as long as they are a certain distance away from the capital, someone will come to meet them.
Zhan Yingying's eyes were a little hesitant, now she didn't know anything about the situation in the capital, although the way to deliver the news was secret, it might not be discovered.
She glanced at Xu Chuan, and felt sorry for pulling this teenager who had nothing to do with it into the water, but at this moment, they had no other choice.
She exhaled and said, "Don't worry, if no one comes, I will die in front of you!" ”
Xu Chuan looked at her with an expression of death, and couldn't help but put a question mark on his choice.
Choosing such a woman to make a deal doesn't know if it's his luck or misfortune.
He shook his head and said jokingly, "I'm still young, I don't want to die here with you." ”
When the words fell, when the pursuers had not yet completely encircled, he preemptively moved in the direction of Shangjing.
Stepping on the wind-chasing step, he swept away like a violent wind, the long sword was unsheathed, and in an instant, he killed two people, opening a gap in the formation that was about to be encircled.
Of course, it is still impossible to break through with this.
After all, people ride horses with four legs, and they only have two legs, even if they explode for a while and throw each other away, but their true qi can't withstand such consumption at all, and it will be exhausted in a few moments, and they are afraid that they will not even have the strength to resist when they are caught up.
Therefore, he can only continue to pull the battle circle in the direction of the upper capital.
He kept charging, and Zhan Yingying followed him closely, guarding him against possible hidden arrows behind him.
For a hundred meters in a row, Xu Chuan killed five people, but his true qi was also seriously lost.
At this moment, the besiegers, under the orders of one of the leaders, changed their formation.
Ten men continued to encircle in guerrilla formations, while the other ten pursued with crossbow arrows.
Suddenly, Xu Chuan's pressure increased sharply.
Although there are fewer people in the encirclement, but the mobility has been greatly increased, they do not fight with Xu Chuan, with the advantage of the horses, the moment the blades intersect, they will be directly withdrawn, and under the staggered cooperation with each other, Xu Chuan not only moved a lot slower, but also lost a lot of true qi in the hands again and again.
At the same time, not far behind him, there were ten other people with crossbows and shooting at them.
Xu Chuan resisted the enemies around him from time to time, and on the other hand, he wanted to dodge or block the crossbow arrows shot from time to time behind him.
The most terrible thing is that the enemy's reinforcements are coming, and there is no trace of their response.
Blocking the oncoming slash again, Xu Chuan's eyes flashed ruthlessly, and he stopped directly in place.
Regardless of the huge consumption of his body, he directly used the Wind Chasing Sword Pose again, and before the other party could retreat, a sword slashed his throat.
But when he stopped, he became a living target for those behind him.
Whoosh!
Crossbow bolts flew down on him like a dark rainstorm.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the exhaustion in his mind, felt the traces of the crossbow arrows, and danced with the long sword in his hand, cutting down each crossbow arrow with extreme precision.
On the other side, although the besiegers were killed by Xu Chuan's storm, they did not have any fluctuations, but instead swung their knives and slashed at Zhan Yingying.
You know, the battle is their real goal from beginning to end.
After a few slashes in embarrassment, she was slashed past her defense line and slashed at the back of her heart.
At the critical moment, Xu Chuan once again raised his breath and blocked it with a sword.
Outside the encirclement, the leader never made a move, and seeing that Xu Chuan was no longer running away, he also directly pulled out the long sword at his waist.
He was the only one in this group who used a sword, and he was also the one with the highest cultivation.
Six-grade sword cultivation!
He had planned to wait for reinforcements to arrive and crush them to death with absolute strength.
But at this moment, he found that the cold-faced kid only had the strength of a mere five grades, and if he could hold on until now, he could be regarded as having some ability from the other party.
But that's the end of it.
Just let him send the other party on the last ride!
With a gesture, all the bows and crossbows retreated, and on the other side, the nine people besieging directly dismounted and rushed towards Xu Chuan and the others.
After fighting again and again, the true qi continued to be consumed, and Xu Chuan's movements became slower and slower, and his strength became lighter and lighter.
A sword forcibly killed a person, but at the same time, Xu Chuan was also slashed twice on the back.
With a blank face, he turned around and forced the two of them back with a sword, and handed out another sword that instantly pierced the throat of one of them.
Three knives slashed again, Zhan Yingying kicked one person away, stopped one person with his backhand, and the last person was directly held by Xu Chuan, and then a sword slashed through the neck of the person holding the knife in an instant.
At this moment, the leader, who had been watching here, suddenly exerted his strength, and on his toes, flew up from the horse's back, and a sword fell diagonally from the air.
In the sunlight, the blade shone with a cold edge.
With a whistling sound, the sword seemed to cut through the air, falling from the sky with the momentum of cutting through everything.
This sword locked Xu Chuan and Zhan Yingying together, and he actually wanted to kill the two of them in one fell swoop, and he finished his work in one battle.
Suddenly, Xu Chuan raised his head, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, Liupin, it's not that I haven't killed you!" ”
Harness the wind!
As soon as his mind moved, he who seemed to be stumbling and almost collapsed suddenly burst out with an extremely powerful force.
Vaguely, the leader seemed to see countless air currents moving rapidly around Xu Chuan.
The next moment, he saw a faint edge.
The edge magnified in his eyes.
Then, he only felt a chill in his throat, a tingling sensation came, and the next moment, his whole body froze in the air.
Rumble!
He fell to the ground with a thump, a sword pulling from his throat.
Xu Chuan held the sword, and his steps were a little vain.
Zhan Yingying restrained the surprise in her heart and stepped forward to support him.
At this moment, in the face of these two weak people, the people who were besieging them with incomparably fierceness before did not dare to step forward.
The leader, who fell to the ground silently, seemed to give them a great shock.
But at this moment, their reinforcements also arrived, and about 100 people arrived one after another.
The atmosphere gradually became solemn.
