Thirty-two
Xiao Bei found someone to settle Zhu Lizhi, waited for Hongyan and others to stabilize their mood, and aggressively killed the scattered guest house, and found that the building had already been empty, leaving the boudoir alone. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"It's immeasurable, it must have been notified in advance. Hong Yan said angrily.
"Forget it, the calculation has helped us relieve our worries, otherwise we will have to worry about the safety of the academy after we leave. Xiao Bei said.
The next morning, Xiao Bei brought the iron pieces of the iron mandao and hired a carriage, on which sat Hong Yan, Liu Minshi, Ning Zhi and Lu Guanzhong, and the tomb puppet was empty at the bottom of the car, driven by Xiao Bei. The horse's hooves flew and drove towards Hanzhong.
The carriage went out of the city from the south gate of Xi'an, all the way through the checkpoint, Xiao Jie only needed to show the iron piece, and the soldiers guarding the pass were all allowed to go, and even the carriage was not checked. It turned out that the Tiemandao family often hunted for treasures and curiosities for the royal family, and there were many indecent things that were not to be seen, and the soldiers were accustomed to it, so in order to avoid trouble, they simply saved ordinary inspections.
In this way, the journey went smoothly, and Xiao Jie and the others came to the north wall of Hanzhong City at noon on the seventh day after departure.
This Hanzhong guards the main road, like a giant, standing in the middle of the mountains, blocking all those who intend to have bad intentions against Xi'an City.
It stands to reason that the place where Gao Yingxiang attacked should be the south gate of Hanzhong, and the north gate is not affected by the war for the time being, but it is strange to say that Xiao Jie and others heard the blades colliding in the north gate from a long distance, and the men and horses neighed, obviously the battle was fierce. Xiao Bei was suddenly shocked and thought: "Could it be that King Chuang has already broken through Hanzhong? Then we must quickly send someone to inform Xi'an and strengthen the defense as soon as possible." ”
Thinking like this, Xiao Bei drove to the city, he looked up, and saw that the city was covered with flags, and a soldier holding a sword was fighting with a group of black-clothed people. The number of soldiers here is small, only a few hundred, and the number of those in black is no more than fifty, but they are skilled in martial arts and well-versed in advance and retreat, and they have the upper hand.
At this time, the sun was shining, and Xiao Bei could see it clearly, the clothes worn by these black-clothed people were the people of the Hidden Knife Sect who had fought with him before. Xiao Bei knew that they were working for King Chuang, and maybe they were involved in capturing Zhang Zhinan. I couldn't help but feel angry in my heart, pressed the horse's back, raised my body, and shouted: "Hong Yan, Min Shi, send me to the city wall!"
Hearing this, Hong Yan leaned out of the carriage, manipulated the air flow to wrap Xiao Bei, and sent him to the city wall.
Seeing this excitement, Liu Minshi was willing to let it go, and her body rose with the heat, and she stood on the city wall with Xiao Bei one after the other.
Xiao Bei had already shot at the man in black at this time, he was carrying an immortal body, and his speed was incredibly fast, where could those men in black see his movements clearly? But first, there were many people on the city wall, and secondly, the people in black and soldiers were mixed, Xiao Bei was afraid of being injured by mistake, so he deliberately slowed down his movements. But Rao is like this, those black-clothed people are not his opponents, Xiao Bei grabbed and waved his hand, and threw several black-clothed people off the city wall.
The man in black was panicked when he encountered a strong enemy. And the soldier couldn't support it, but when he saw the reinforcements, his spirit suddenly perked up, and he had strength under his hands, and he actually suppressed the man in black, divided and surrounded him, and attacked him in groups.
Liu Minshi saw that Xiao Bei was in the limelight, and she had the heart to compete with him. Transporting the internal force of Zhiyang, he struck out with a wave of his palm, and in an instant, several black-clothed people were on fire, screaming and falling off the city wall.
The two of them chopped melons and vegetables like tigers entering a flock of sheep, and suddenly the three men in black performed light skills and jumped up, crossed the heads of several people, came to both sides of Xiao Bei, and jointly attacked, three long swords stabbed Xiao Bei's chest and feet respectively, and the attack was ruthless, and the coordination was exquisite, obviously the martial arts were higher than their peers.
Xiao Bei had never learned fist and foot kung fu, and seeing the fierceness of the enemy's sword, he relied on a lightning-like reaction at the moment, with his feet off the ground, avoiding the double swords that slashed at his legs, and at the same time leaned back, dodging a sword stabbed in the chest. Then he kicked the man who stabbed him in the chest away, and then pressed the wrists of the other two with both hands, twisted hard, and snatched the two swords away.
Before the two could react, they saw their companion spurt blood from his mouth and fly backwards, and he felt a pain in his hand, and the long sword was out of his hand. I couldn't help but be horrified, knowing that the enemy's martial arts were surprisingly high, far from being comparable to myself, he quickly retreated, whistled, and flew to jump under the wall.
At this time, the man in black was dead, wounded, and there were less than ten people left on the wall, listening to the leader's order to evacuate, each took out a black umbrella, opened it and jumped down to the city.
When the soldiers on the wall saw this, they did not pursue, but picked up their bows and arrows on the ground, and shot them incessantly, killing several others, and seeing that the enemy was drifting away with the wind, and shooting arrows again in vain, they withdrew their hands.
A man who looked like a general came to Xiao Bei's side, took a deep look, and said: "Lin Jiao, the deputy general of the Beicheng garrison in the lower Hanzhong, thank you for your help, dare to ask the hero's name?"
Xiao Bei replied: "Don't dare to be, Xiao Bei, a student of Xia Dao Academy, came to see General Sun Chuanting Sun and help defend the city." ”
Lin Jiao was overjoyed and said: "It turned out to be Xiao Daxia, the brocade guard Lu Biao respects you very much, and he has recommended you to Lord Sun many times, if it weren't for General Sun's busy affairs, he would have come to see you a long time ago." ”
Xiao Bei secretly complained, but said in his mouth: "Lord Lin is serious, but I don't know how the enemy can attack this northern city? Could it be that the southern city has been breached?"
Lin Jiao said with a bitter face: "The southern city has not yet been breached, but the situation is precarious, that Gao Yingxiang has somehow in recent days, the soldiers under his command are like chicken blood, the offensive is fierce, and they are not afraid of death when charging, and they have attacked the southern city several times. Seeing that the southern city suffered heavy casualties, Lord Sun dispatched me, a soldier from the northern city, to support. I also blame me for my negligence for a while, and they climbed the city wall from the inner city, and almost lost the city gate, causing a catastrophe. ”
Xiao Bei nodded and said, "General Lin, now that the enemy has retreated, and there are heavy casualties, it is estimated that he will not be able to fight back in a short time." I still have a few companions outside the city, all of whom are capable people. Ask the general to open the door, and they will help you defend the city. ”
Lin Jiao smiled: "That's very good. He immediately ordered loudly and ordered his subordinates to open the city gate and let Hongyan and others enter.
Hong Yan drove into the city gate and joined Xiao Bei. After Xiao Bei introduced Lin Jiao one by one, Lin Jiao ordered the handymen to take the carriage away, and then found a few military horses and said to Xiao Bei: "Xiao Daxia, I'm going to report to General Sun about the battle just now, are you interested in going with me?"
Xiao Beixi said: "It just so happens that I have something important to tell General Sun, and I also ask General Lin to lead the way." ”
Lin Jiao waved his hand and said, "Please." Then he mounted his horse and galloped to the south of the city.
Xiao Jie and the others hurriedly got on their horses and followed closely behind.
A few people walked through the streets, all the way unimpeded, and soon came to the south of Hanzhong under the city wall.
Lin Jiao jumped off the horse and whispered a few words to the herald, who immediately turned around and walked into the city wall, and returned to the wall after a short time, and said loudly: "General Sun has an order, please Xiao Daxia, Miss Hongyan, Miss Liu Minshi, Miss Ning Zhi, and Lu Daxia enter." As soon as the words fell, the soldiers under the city got out of the way, and Xiao Xiao and the four of them followed Lin Jiao towards the city wall.
Several people came to the city wall, only to see a middle-aged man waiting at the staircase, when they saw Xiao Bei coming up, they immediately stepped forward, and said with a smile: "I have heard the prestige of Xiao Daxia for a long time, and when I see it today, Sun is really overjoyed." ”
Xiao Bei saw that this person had an elegant face and a lofty instrument, although he was facing a crisis, he was not in the slightest, and knew that he must be Sun Chuanting, so he immediately bowed deeply and said: "Lord Sun loves the people like a son, resists the Manchu Dynasty, and is admired by the world. ”
It stands to reason that Xiao Bei is a grass citizen, and he should kneel and kowtow in the face of a big official like Sun Chuanting, but Sun Chuanting didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "It's easy to say, I heard Lin Jiao send someone to rumor that you helped solve the danger in Nancheng, but is there such a thing?"
Xiao Bei still lowered his head, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "This matter depends on everyone's concerted efforts, and it is only a little bit in the bottom." ”
Sun Chuanting suddenly sighed and said: "It's also that I'm too confident, but after a careful search a few days ago, there was no enemy remnant in the city, who knew that the enemy was hidden so deeply, thousands of miles away, almost collapsed in the anthill, I was really afraid to think about it." ”
Xiao Bei hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, I heard that Gao Yingxiang's offensive has suddenly become fierce recently, but is there such a thing?"
"Exactly. What is Xiao Daxia's opinion?" Sun Chuanting asked as he looked at Xiao Bei.
"Among them...... Maybe someone from the Sword Howling Palace can help. Xiao Bei said hesitantly.
"Sword Xiao Palace, what is that?" asked Sun Chuanting puzzled.
Xiao Bei just wanted to explain, but suddenly the horn sounded in the distance outside the city, and the dust was flying. Sun Chuanting's color changed suddenly, and he walked quickly to the wall and looked into the distance, only to see a horse coming from the dust, and the flag in his hand was dancing. Sun Chuanting immediately said loudly: "Pass the order, Gao Yingxiang will attack again, the gunners are ready, and the archers are in place." ”
