All the soldiers are a little confused. If the enemy is swarming, it's fair enough, but what does it mean to send a ride like this? Do they think they can take down Nanxiong Zhoucheng with this ride
After fighting with the enemy for so many days, the generals of Liu Jiajun certainly wouldn't think that the opponent was a fool, but just after the ride approached, Bai Xi narrowed his eyes and shouted: "Nothing! There seems to be something hanging on the flagpole."
When Bai Xi said that, everyone's eyes shifted from the knight to the top of the flagpole. Sure enough, there was a round thing hanging from the top of the flagpole, which was hanging from the top of the flagpole and swaying constantly. The soldiers widened their eyes and wanted to see what it was. In the end, Liu Hua, who had the best eyesight, shouted, "That thing seems to be a human head."
"Human head?" Liu Hua said so, everyone exclaimed, frowning. The enemy suddenly took out such a human head at this moment, what is the intention? However, Zhao Guang's heart suddenly burst, as if he had an ominous premonition, he immediately pulled away the few people in front of him, rushed to the front of the female wall, and stretched out his head to look out of the city. It's just that Zhao Guang has been sincere in military and political affairs over the years, and his eyes are not as clear as before. He narrowed his eyes for a long time, but couldn't see the appearance of the head.
In fact, it wasn't just Zhao Guang, but the other people couldn't see the situation outside the city. After all, the knight didn't dare to get too close to the city wall because he was afraid of the archer above the city. I saw that the knight was able to rush out of the attack range of the city archer, and ran back and forth around the city wall for several rounds, holding the flagpole high, as if he wanted the head in his hand to be seen clearly by General Liu Jiajun on the city wall. . At the end, the knight stopped right in the middle of the city wall, held the flagpole with his backhand, roared, and then threw the flagpole directly toward the front of the city.
This knight was obviously a strong man specially selected by Song Jun, and the heavy flagpole flew directly close to the city wall under his throw. Just watched the flagpole fly over tens of meters, centered on the ground under the city wall, deeply inserted into the ground. At this time, the flagpole was deeply inserted on the ground under the city wall, and the head of the person hanging on the flagpole was constantly dangling back and forth with the flagpole.
General Liu Jiajun was obviously taken aback by the opponent's hand, and he didn't know what to do. And Zhao Guang and other generals carefully observed the flagpole and made sure that there were no traps before carefully enclosing the city wall. Before that, Zhao Guang also looked around outside the city. After the knight threw the flagpole, he turned his horse's head straight and returned to the Song Army formation, and Song Jun seemed to be quiet.
"Ah! Why, why is it him?" Just when Zhao Guang was suspicious of what tricks the Song army was playing outside the city, suddenly an exclamation sounded. Zhao Guang looked back and saw that it was Liu Yi who was the most courageous among the generals at this moment. I already came to the female wall near the flagpole, pointed at that person's head, and screamed in astonishment, "Isn't this all for nothing?"
"What?" As soon as Liu Yi's words fell, the generals all exclaimed. Bai Hexing has been under Liu Jiajun's account for many years, and the generals are no strangers to Bai Hexing. So they stepped forward to identify it carefully, and it turned out to be nothing wrong. The generals were all stunned. Bai Hexing was sent to Luting Prefecture, Fujian Province as an emissary before, to ask Gao'an for help. This is a well-known thing. But right now, the white head of Hexing was actually sent by Song Jun. The meaning of this, the generals could even imagine with their toes.
"Bai Hexing is dead?" Zhao Guang was also taken aback when he heard Liu Yi's words. It should be understood that now all the hopes of Nanxiong Zhoucheng have been pinned on Gao'an's reinforcements, and now Bai Hexing is dead. Doesn't this mean that Gao'an's reinforcements might not arrive
Zhao Guang couldn't believe this, and immediately rushed to the head of the man, snatching the head from Liu Yi's hand. He didn't care how disgusting and terrifying the head was. He carefully recognized the appearance of the head. But Zhao Guang looked up and down, left and right, but the result could only make Zhao Guang's heart sink directly to the bottom.
"Sure enough, it's nothing." Zhao Guang's strength from all over his body was as if he had been emptied in an instant, he staggered, and he took a few steps backwards in succession. If it weren't for Chen Wu, who was behind Zhao Guang's eyes and quick hands, he stretched out his hand to support Zhao Guang, I'm afraid that Zhao Guang would fall to the ground on his back. Although he stood firm with the support of Chen Wu and others, Zhao Guang's face was still pale, and he murmured, "How can this be? How can this be?"
It’s no wonder that Zhao Guanghui is so gaffe. Zhao Guang is very clear about Bai Hexing’s ability. Although Bai Hexing is just a literati who has no power to bind a chicken, with Bai Hexing’s ingenuity, he wants to avoid Song Jun’s pursuit. , I think it should be foolproof. This is why Zhao Guang had thousands of guesses before, and even guessed that Bai Hexing was greedy for life, fearing death, and the possibility of betraying Liu Jiajun. He never thought that Bai Hexing would be caught by Song Jun.
In fact, Zhao Guang's thoughts were correct, but all of this was God's will. Who would have thought that Bai Hexing would encounter Wu Yingying on the way, but he died in the hands of such a weak village girl inexplicably. If Zhao Guang knows all this, I am afraid he can only sigh: "Liu Jiajun, if heaven wants to perish!"
The news of Bai Hexing’s death spread to all the Liu’s soldiers on the city’s head in an instant. This is also because Zhao Guang gathered all the remaining Liu’s soldiers in the city at this northern gate in order to fight the enemy for the last time. For the sake of.
In the past, in order to encourage the soldiers to fight the enemy bravely, the news that Bai Hexing was sent to Luting Prefecture, Fujian Province for help these days, has long been spread among the soldiers. The bad news of Bai Hexing was suddenly heard, and the morale that Zhao Guang and the others had just managed to improve instantly fell to the bottom.
Many soldiers even dropped their swords and sat on the ground like this, crying: "This is over! This is over. We are dead! We are dead!"
The atmosphere of fear was like a plague in the air, instantly spreading to the entire city. Panic appeared on the faces of more and more soldiers, and some soldiers seemed to be about to throw away their armor and weapons and sneak back into the city, pretending to be ordinary people.
"My lord! My lord! What should we do now?" Seeing the changes in the city, the generals tried their best to suppress the panic of the soldiers, but the effect was minimal. They had no way to deal with the current situation. They had to entrust the last hope to Zhao Guang who was still in a daze. Zhu Hao stepped forward and took Zhao Guang’s arm and pulled a few times, which made Zhao Guang relieved. Come.
After slowing his mind, Zhao Guang looked around, and immediately understood the current situation, but there was a helpless wry smile on his face. When Liu Yi saw it, he immediately shouted to Zhao Guang: "Brother Zhao Guang, what should we do now? Or, kill a few soldiers who dared to flee, with a sense of integrity."
"No!" When Zhao Guang heard Liu Yi's proposal, he was shocked. He quickly stopped Liu Yi from doing so, and said in a deep voice: "Never forcibly suppress the military's mind. That will only make the soldiers more and more chilled. The morale of the defenders collapsed completely."
Liu Yi is not a fool either. He was also anxious just now because of the situation in the city. Soon Liu Yi wanted to understand the reason. However, Liu Yi still asked Zhao Guang anxiously: "Aren't we just doing nothing like this? If this goes on, the army will become distracted, and we can't stop the enemy's attack at all."
Zhao Guang’s face was full of bitterness. He didn’t expect that they had a good idea after discussing it all afternoon last night, but they were defeated by the sudden emergence of an emergency. It was that this situation was discovered so suddenly that Zhao Guang didn't have the slightest preparation, and it caused Song Jun to be caught off guard. Zhao Guang looked down and thought for a while, and finally shook his head helplessly, and said, "This Nanxiong state city, we can't keep it. The third child, you should go to the city and pick up the adults and their family members. Come on, let's get ready to break through."
At the gate of the north gate of Nanxiong Prefecture, more than two thousand Liu Jiajun soldiers have been arranged in a neat square. And Liu Song and other officers and soldiers are all uniforms, holding weapons and standing next to their mounts. In front of the Liu Family Army’s phalanx, Liu Yi and Zhao Guang stood there with sullen faces, silent, and the atmosphere on the scene was also a little dignified because of their silence. It seemed that even the soldiers’ breathing sounded. All can be heard.
After a long time, Zhao Guang took a deep breath, turned his head and said to Liu Yi: "My lord. Before leaving, let's talk to the soldiers."
A wry smile appeared on Liu Yi’s face. He had already told Zhao Guang before that he could not leave the last piece of Nanxiong Prefecture to escape alone, but Zhao Guang and others tried hard to persuade them. It also showed that everyone would follow Liu Yi to break through, and Liu Yi reluctantly agreed.
Liu Yi raised his head and looked at these faces in front of him. Some are familiar, some are very strange. After all, as the head of Liu's army, Liu Yi cannot recognize all the soldiers under his account. However, Liu Yi knew that his life would depend on these people later.
Liu Yi also took a deep breath like Zhao Guang, and opened his mouth and said in a hoarse voice: "Everyone. Today, Liu Jiajun is suffering, and the overthrow is imminent. I am unable to protect the inheritance left by my father and brother. I should die and apologize. But Zhao Zhennai This is the great enemy of Liu Jiajun. As the generals said, if I die like this, wouldn’t I just follow the enemy’s will? Therefore, I want to break out with you, with this useful body, and come to avenge the Song army in the future. avenge."
Speaking of this, Liu Yi suddenly stopped, and his eyes scanned the Liu Jiajun in front of him. Liu Yi and the other generals were all excited and full of fighting spirit, but the soldiers behind them were all blank.
Liu Yi suddenly realized that he was wrong. The words just now are very important to the upper-level figures, but for the ordinary soldiers below, his wealth and life are the most important. Liu Yi's face was bitter, and he suddenly remembered his elder brother Liu Tong. In this regard, he is really far inferior to the general!
If you change to Liu Tong, you will never make such a mistake. If Liu Tong was alive, he would never let Liu Jiajun fall into this embarrassment. Thinking of this, Liu Yi's heart became heavy again, but the next words could not be said.
When Zhao Guang, who was beside Liu Yi, saw him, he also vaguely guessed how much Liu Yi was thinking. In fact, in Zhao Guang's heart, Liu Yi was not as unbearable as he thought. For at least the past few months, Liu Yi has been very dedicated as the leader of Liu Jiajun. When the current situation has reached this point, it can only be said that God's will is so. Thinking of this, Zhao Guang also sighed, stepped forward, and said to Liu Yi: "My lord, let's break through."
Hearing what Zhao Guang said, Liu Yi just silently nodded, then turned and jumped on the mount. He gently stroked the crimson armor on his body, and sighed in his heart: "Father! Brother! If I can't break out today, I will meet you soon." The crimson armor on Liu Yi's body, but It was Liu Tong's armor. When Liu Yi left Liu Tong, it was Liu Tong who gave it to Liu Yi himself. This was the first time Liu Yi wore this armor in these years.
Both Liu Yi and Zhao Guang were on the war horse, but Zhao Guang did not rush to order the opening of the city gate to break through, but waited quietly. After about a stick of incense, a shout suddenly came from the top of the city above: "My lord! The enemy is attacking the city."
Hearing these words, Liu Yi and Zhao Guang's eyes lit up at the same time, and the two looked at each other. Zhao Guang nodded to Liu Yi, and Liu Yi also nodded, turned his head, and looked at the Liu Jiajun soldiers in front of him, but with a "choking", he drew out the sword from his waist. He held it high and shouted: "Everyone. Get on the horse! Break through!"
And with Liu Yi’s shout, Liu Yi and other generals jumped on the horse, even Liu Hua, who had a broken arm, did not pause at all, but turned it up quickly with just one hand. Mount. At the same time, several soldiers who had been guarding the gate of the city early opened the gate immediately, and as the tall gate slowly moved to both sides, it also revealed the scenery outside the city to Liu Yi and others.
On the horizon outside the city, the black Song Army was rushing in this direction. Both Liu Yi and Zhao Guang's expressions sank, and they began to break through when the enemy army began to attack the city. This is Zhao Guang’s suggestion to Liu Yi.
When the Song Army began to attack the city, the layout of the offensive army to avoid arrows and slings was absolutely impossible to be as tight as before. In this way, it brought convenience for Liu Yi to break through. Although he had known this for a long time, Liu Yi's heart still inevitably fluctuated when he saw the Song Army rushing in like a tide outside the city. At this time, Zhao Guang patted Liu Yi on the shoulder, suddenly laughed, and said softly: "Liu Yi, let's go."
Hearing Zhao Guang's words, Liu Yi was stunned. In a daze, he seemed to see his elder brother again. Before he went out with his eldest brother before, the eldest brother seemed to pat his shoulder like this.
Thinking back to Liu Tong again, Liu Yi's eyes seemed to be a little moist, but the wave of waves that had just occurred in his heart also disappeared. Instead, it was filled with the courage and fighting spirit of Liu Yi's chest. Immediately Liu Yi took a deep breath, pointed the sword in his hand towards the outside of the city, and shouted: "Soldiers! Follow me!"
"Chong." The first person who followed Liu Yi to shout out was naturally Zhao Guang. At this moment, Zhao Guang also changed the appearance of the former Confucian general. He had a hideous face under his helmet, waving a sword in his hand, and following Liu Yi. The horse went out of the city.
"Kill!" "Kill!" Even Zhao Guang is like this. Liu Song and other generals are naturally not much worse, and they roared and rushed out of the city gate with Liu Jiajun. Although the Liu's generals did not show high fighting spirit for breaking through the siege before, as a soldier, at this time, they can still maintain the most basic fighting will and kill with Liu Yi and others.
"Huh?" Behind the Song Army formation outside the city, Wang Zongshi and Wang Hu couldn't help but exclaimed. Their faces were full of astonishment. Obviously they didn't expect Liu Jiajun to break through at this time. .
Before Wang Hu threw out Bai Hexing's head, just to blow Liu Jiajun's morale, according to Wang Hu's guess, Liu Jiajun had only two ways to go. One was to break through the siege, and the other was to defend the city. After waiting for a while, it seems that the defenders in the city did not intend to break through the siege. Wang Zongshi and Wang Hu together, then Liu Yi and Zhao Guang must have wanted to defend Nanxiong Zhoucheng, so they ordered the attack. Unexpectedly, the other party would choose to break out of the city at this time.
However, both Wang Hu and Wang Zongshi were veterans who had been fighting for a long time, and they immediately wanted to understand why. The two of them couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. Liu Yi and Zhao Guang could still be so calm, and it was really amazing.
Just admiring and admiring, Wang Hu and Wang Zongshi immediately ordered the soldiers and horses in front to intercept Liu Jiajun's breakout army. Wang Zongshi took his giant knife from the soldier next to him, turned his head and smiled at Wang Hu: "Wang Hu, I haven't fought with you for a long time. Is there any interest to fight with me today?"
This interception breakout army and the siege are completely two ways of playing. If there is no accident, Wang Zongshi and Wang Hu as the coaches do not need to fight the enemy, but it is different to intercept the enemy outside the city. . After all, the generals under Liu Yi weren't fuel-efficient lamps. Just relying on ordinary soldiers to intercept them might really be rushed out by them, so Wang Zongshi immediately decided to go to the battle himself.
Hearing what Wang Zongshi said, Wang Hu couldn't help but smile. He raised the spear in his hand, nodded, and said to Wang Zongshi: "It's an honor for a certain family to know if your giant knife is still as sharp as before? "
Hearing what Wang Hu said, Wang Zongshi couldn't help but smile. "Hahahaha! We'll know if we try it." Wang Zongshi smiled up to the sky, flashed the giant knife on his chest, and the cold light on the giant knife flashed by.
Immediately, Wang Zongshi and Wang Hu gave orders to Cui Hu and Zhang Long to keep them behind as a second-level interception, but both of them drove forward at the same time.
At this time, the breakout army led by Liu Yi has collided with the front of the Song Army. Liu Yi, who rushed to the front, faced the soldiers of the Song Army in front of him. After reacting, a head flew directly into the air, and Liu Yi's face was sprayed with blood.
Liu Yi, whose face was covered with blood, did not feel any discomfort. On the contrary, the pungent bloody smell made Liu Yi's fierce light flourish. He roared, waving the sword in his hand like a gust of wind, slashing towards the front frantically. .
Although Liu Yi usually behaves more like a literati, as the son of Liu Jiajun, how can Liu Yi not practice martial arts? Only compared to Liu Tong and his brother Liu Song, Liu Yi's talent in martial arts is far inferior to his two brothers, but he is definitely not a literary man without power.
Liu Yi kept his head stuffed and rushed forward. Behind him, Zhao Guang and Liu Song were on separate sides, blocking attacks from left to right for Liu Yi. Liu Song's martial arts talent is no less than that of General Liu Tong. After years of tempering, Liu Song is much better than before. Although Zhao Guang is not as good as Liu Yi, he, who has been an all-rounder in civil and military since he was a child, is now doing his best to make the enemy soldiers unable to get close at all.
