I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 320
Hearing the intensifying sound of fighting coming from Aozikou, Zhu Xiao looked at Zhu Zhengrong who couldn't hold back, and said in a deep voice: "Zhengrong, you have to remember that no matter what happens, no matter what happens to our townside Houfu Zhu Zhengrong The Yang family and the Yang family fought openly and covertly, slandered and framed you, but you are stepping on the land of the Daqing Dynasty, and you cannot allow the barbarians to step forward!"

"Father?" Zhu Zhengrong was stunned for a moment, then stood up straight, and replied with a stern face: "I remember."

After making sure that Zhu Zhengrong wasn't being perfunctory, Zhu Xiao nodded in satisfaction, "The mantis catches the cicada, the oriole is behind, wait a little longer."

But at this moment, in Aozikou, the sound of fierce fighting makes people's blood boil. The blood and killing have made people forget the cold and fear. There is only one thought in their minds, that is to kill all the enemies and walk out alive!
Lin Jiang killed the enemy in front of him with a single sword strike, he glanced away from the corner of his eye, and roared hoarsely, "Master, be careful!"

Originally, the eight members of Lin Jiang formed a formation of horns. While rushing to Aozikou to join Qiu Jinyu, they protected Yang Xu in the safest position in the middle of the formation.

But with more and more enemies, the original formation was disrupted, and the enemies ambushing behind also discovered the anomaly in front, and frantically chased them from behind, which led to Yang Xu's distress at the moment.

Lin Jiang's roar made the old five and the others turn their heads to look over. The distraught few wanted to turn around to rescue regardless of the danger in front of them. Unfortunately, they were too far away, watching the enemy step on Yang Xu's foot. On the ground, the sharp sword raised high was about to stab Yang Xu's chest.

It's too late, so fast!In the darkness, suddenly, a short arrow shot through the air.

The enemy holding the long sword sneered ferociously. He thought he could kill Yang Xu with a single blow, but he was pierced by an arrow through his neck, his body swayed twice, and he fell to the ground with a bang.

"Master Xu!" The long sword in Lin Jiang's hand rushed over and slashed, completely killing the enemy who was hit by the arrow, and hurriedly pulled Yang Xu up from the ground.

The old five and the others also let out a long breath of foul air, and Gao Xuan's heart was relieved. It was almost, almost, that Master Xu died in front of them. If something happened to Master Xu, what face would they have to see him? General!
Yang Xu was stunned for a moment. At this moment, he could not care about the pain of being stepped on his chest. He stared blankly at the enemy lying on the ground with blood bubbling from his neck. He almost died just now.

Yang Xu had never been so close to death, his hands and feet were stiff, and his mind was even more at a loss.

"Master Xu!" Lin Jiang's big hand holding Yang Xu's arm suddenly tightened a little bit. Seeing that Yang Xu had recovered from the pain, Lin Jiang reminded him again: "Now is not the time to be in a daze, Master Xu follow closely." I!"

The sound of fighting still echoed in his ears, Yang Xu nodded, and wanted to pick up the saber that fell on the ground, but found that his arm had no strength at all.

After a quarter of an hour.

"Xiao Xu, are you okay?" Qiu Jinyu blocked the enemy's attack with a sword in his hand, and looked back at Yang Xu, who was guarded by Lin Jiang and Lao Wu. He couldn't see clearly in the dark, but Yang Xu's movements were not blocked. Presumably he was not seriously injured.

"Brother Qiu?" When they were close, Yang Xu saw Qiu Jinyu at a glance, and asked quickly, "Brother Qiu, how is the situation in Xiangwu County?"

There were only ten guards around Qiu Jinyu, and they were all killed at the moment. Fortunately, they just attacked the enemy from the concave hole, and their injuries were not serious.

The group temporarily retreated to the mountain wall, and Qiu Jinyu had time to answer: "Old Mr. Qiu and the old man from the blacksmith shop led people to guard the tower, and the people also went up to the tower spontaneously. If you stay on the tower, the barbarians will definitely not be able to break through the city for a while, and you will be safe when the reinforcements arrive at dawn."

Yang Xu and Lin Jiang naturally know Old Man Tie. He was the head of General Yang's bodyguard back then. Later, he had to leave the barracks due to injury and opened a blacksmith shop in Xiangwu County. This is also a stronghold of the Yang family. .

"The barbarians bypassed the Weizhou camp and came to the county seat. They must be lightly packed. They don't have rush cars or trebuchets. They will definitely not be able to break through the city gate for a while." Lin Jiang glanced at the dark sky and persisted for another hour. It should be safe.

Yang Xu's tense face finally relaxed, "Brother Qiu, thank you for coming to save me."

"You're my younger brother, thank you and I'll see you." Qiu Jinyu raised his hand and touched Yang Xu's head, and when he stretched out his hand, not only Yang Xu saw it, Lin Jiang and the others also saw the crossbow on Qiu Jinyu's arm.

Before Yang Xu was almost killed, a short arrow shot and killed the enemy at the critical moment. Looking at it now, it was Qiu Jinyu who rescued Yang Xu.

"Thank you Mr. Qiu for your help." Lin Jiang solemnly bowed his hands to Qiu Jinyu to express his gratitude. If it wasn't for him, Master Xu would have been in trouble tonight.

Under the night, even though Qiu Jinyu was holding a sword in his right hand and a crossbow tied to his left wrist, he still had the air of a scholar.

Qiu Jinyu smiled warmly, "This big brother is serious. Xiao Xu is my younger brother. I also heard that Old Man Tie was worried about Xiao Xu's safety, so I brought people here. Fortunately, I made it in time."

There were only ten people on Qiu Jinyu's side. Even if they stayed in Xiangwu County to help defend the city, it would not be of much use. Ten of them would not be too many, and ten of them would not be too many.

But Qiu Jinyu rushed to Aozikou, which was timely rain for Yang Xu and others who were in a precarious situation.

Lin Jiang didn't know how many enemies were ambushing Aozikou, but after two rounds of fighting, Lin Jiang and the others killed at least 30 people.

There are still a lot of enemies, but there must not be more than 50 people, and there are nearly 20 people on their side. Even if they face the enemy head-on, they have a chance of winning.

What's more, Lin Jiang didn't intend to fight head-on, they just needed to deal with the enemy and continue to delay the time, and they would definitely be able to escape by dawn.

Just as the few people were taking the time to rest, suddenly there was a whistling sound in the midair, but it was a white signal scattered in the night sky and exploded.

Lin Jiang's expression that had been soothed just now turned serious, "No, the enemy is probably about to launch a final attack!"

In order to avoid casualties before, the enemy ambushing in front of and behind the Aozikou did not attack violently. They narrowed the encirclement bit by bit, trying to catch Yang Xu and the others.

But with Qiu Jinyu's arrival, coupled with the fact that he couldn't attack for a long time, the enemy probably didn't want to wait anymore, so he sent a signal, and Lin Jiang could imagine how difficult the next battle would be.

"Mr. Qiu, please take a look at Master Gu Xu." Lin Jiang entrusted Yang Xu to Qiu Jinyu for the time being. No matter how good his skills are, he is still a scholar. Protect Yang Xu, while Lin Jiang and the others will be the main force in the battle.

"Don't worry, as long as I'm alive, nothing will happen to Xiao Xu." Qiu Jinyu replied without much rhetoric, but this firm attitude is even more memorable.

……

Lin Jiang was holding on with only one breath at the moment, but when he heard footsteps, his expression suddenly changed, "Who is it?"

Not only Lin Jiang, but also the fifth brother and others. They were only slightly injured before, but now they all became seriously injured, but the enemy kept coming from the front and the rear. If it weren't for Qiu Jinyu and the others , Lin Jiang and the others will definitely not be able to last this moment.

Not only was Yang Xu in danger, Qiu Jinyu was also struck by the sword, and blood flowed down the wrist to the long sword, and then dripped to the ground.

"Kill!" Without another word, He Sheng raised his sword and killed the enemies besieging Lin Jiang and the others.

Strangling all the way from Aozikou, He Sheng's ten people still shot fiercely. Typical people don't say much cruelty. Before Lin Jiang and others could react, more than 20 corpses were already lying on the ground in disorder.

He Nuan and the coachman guarded Zhan Feiyu on the left and right. Even though there were only dead bodies on the way here, who could guarantee that there would not be a surprise attack by an enemy who was feigning death in this dark night.

Even if they came to rescue Yang Xu, Zhan Feiyu's safety was the first priority for He Nuan and the others.

"Young Master Qiu is here?" A clear voice sounded, and Zhan Feiyu took two steps forward over the corpse on the ground. She really didn't expect to see Qiu Jinyu here.

Qiu Jinyu and Yang Xu, who were more than ten feet away, turned around at the same time.

"Xiaoyu, why are you here?" Yang Xu shouted, and asked excitedly: "Xiaoyu, is Xiangwu County safe? How are Grandpa Qiu and the others?"

Walked in front of Yang Xu in three or two steps, Zhan Feiyu rolled his eyes at the embarrassed Yang Xu, "What are you daydreaming about at night, there are more than 3000 barbarians, even if their heads are chopped off like tofu So fast."

Qiu Jinyu came here before, and Yang Xu was more grateful. Although he was worried about Xiangwu County, after listening to Lin Jiang's analysis, although he was worried, he was not to that extent.

But seeing Zhan Feiyu bring out He Sheng and He Nuan, Yang Xu felt a little bit in his heart. This time, more than 20 masters were missing. Isn't it dangerous for Grandpa Qiu?
"Don't worry, we fought fiercely before we came here. It is estimated that less than half of the more than 3000 barbarians will be left at this meeting, and they are all frightened by us. This will be tired, hungry and cold. The right time and place It is impossible to attack the city without occupying the same.”

Zhan Feiyu laughed, and glanced at Qiu Jinyu from the corner of the eye again, but he didn't realize that he left, probably not from the city gate.

Like Yang Xu, Lin Jiang and the others felt more at ease when they heard Zhan Feiyu's words.

But looking at Zhan Feiyu with a bloodstain on her cheek, standing close, looking at her red lips and white teeth, Lin Jiang and others would be a little dumbfounded even if they knew Zhan Feiyu's identity. Is it so vigorous?

One by one can write articles with a pen, and can kill the enemy with a sword?
That's all for Mr. Qiu, even if he has not been weak, he is tall and has both civil and military skills, but the little girl in front of him is half a head shorter than Yang Xu, and there are three corpses in her footsteps, and she is probably still warm. not afraid.

When the cold wind blew, Zhan Feiyu shivered from the cold, and hurriedly said: "The enemy in front has been killed, let's go quickly."

This broken place is colder than the city wall, and the howling wind is like ghosts crying and wolves howling. Zhan Feiyu took a quick look at Lin Jiang and the others, "Ah Sheng, we are dead!"

"Yes!" He Sheng responded immediately.

Everyone present knew that it was more dangerous after the break. After all, all the enemies in front had been killed. Even if there were still three or five survivors, they probably wouldn't have much fighting power.

But there are still enemies behind the concave hole, but I don't know how many more.

The people brought by Lin Jiang and Qiu Jinyu took the lead, Zhan Feiyu, Yang Xu, and Qiu Jinyu walked in the safest middle position, and He Nuan and the coachman still accompanied Zhan Feiyu.

After He Sheng led the rest of the people, the group quickly walked towards the exit of Aozikou. Even if it was not yet dawn, walking out of Aozikou would almost be out of danger.

Although the enemies in the back are still not giving up on chasing and killing them, it's a pity that there are experts like He Sheng, and the last bit of enemies rushing up is to give away their heads.

Two quarters of an hour later, a group of people finally came out, but before they could breathe a sigh of relief, when they looked at the group of people standing not far away holding torches high, their hearts that had just let go suddenly hung up again.

"Zhu Xiao!" Lin Jiang's expression changed suddenly, he clenched the blood-stained long sword in his hand, and there was an undisguised murderous intent in his eyes.

Yang Xu didn't know Zhu Xiao, the eldest son of the Zhenbian Hou family, nor Zhu Zhengrong, the eldest son of the Zhenbian Hou family, but Lin Jiang had been on the battlefield, and he had seen them both.

He Sheng and others, who were originally broken, rushed to Zhan Feiyu's side at the first time, and firmly protected her in the middle, and Yang Xu, who was standing with Zhan Feiyu, was also included in the protection circle.

As soon as Yang Xu heard Lin Jiang's words, his body tensed up instantly, and he stared fiercely at the front with eyes like a little wolf. These are the people from the town's Marquis House, and they were the ones who framed his grandfather for collaborating with the enemy and treason!

"Yang Xu, calm down!" Zhan Feiyu looked at Yang Xu who was about to rush to die with Zhu's father and son without saying a word, and couldn't help pulling him back, "Ah Nuan, watch him."

"Yes!" No matter how dangerous the situation is, as long as Zhan Feiyu gives an order, He Nuan will definitely carry it out.

After confirming that Yang Xu couldn't break free from He Nuan's confinement, Zhan Feiyu walked towards the front, and glanced around from the corner of his eye.

"There are still people in the dark, not less than a hundred people." He Sheng, who was closely behind Zhan Feiyu, said in a low voice. If there were one or two people holding their breath, He Sheng might not be able to find out.

But with hundreds of people, there was no way to cover up the movement, which also made He Sheng constantly increase his vigilance.

The Zhenbian Hou Mansion definitely came prepared, these hundreds of people are well-trained masters, He Sheng and his party did not say that they had experienced a night of fighting, even though they were energetic at the moment, facing hundreds of people in the Zhenbian Hou Mansion The elite of people have no chance of winning.

"I wish you, my son." Walking to the front, Zhan Feiyu saluted and looked at the guards standing on the left and right sides of Zhu Xiao.

Although there were only ten people, Zhan Feiyu, a scholar, could tell that the ten people with introverted breath were masters, and they might be dead soldiers secretly cultivated by the Zhenbian Houfu.
