The big man is on the run

Chapter 7

"General, Xu Huang is rebellious!"

Li Xian, who rushed to Nanwu under the order of his uncle Li Jue, after hearing the news from his own soldiers, his first reaction was neither panic nor stunned, but he took a step back holding his shield and asked: "Who is Xu Huang?"

"The one from Hedong used to be an officer, and now he is in charge of guarding the emperor under Yang Feng."

Li Xian couldn't help frowning a little. The reason why Yang Feng's subordinates were able to come to Nanwu to take charge of the custody work was entirely a transaction between Yang Feng and Li Jue who didn't trust each other, but now it's reversed at this time, which really made Li Xian feel a headache .

"It's just dozens of people, isn't it? There are not many armors. Send two village chiefs to stop them. Anyway, he can't get out of Nanwu."

"Here!"

After calling the two garrisons who were on standby in Wubao, more than a hundred soldiers rushed to Wubao, and Li Xian's thoughts returned to his eyes.

The army in front of Wubao, equipped with scull shields and climbing ladders, seems to be the last armed force of the Han Dynasty.

Although the orders and golden drums are all different, and the armor and weapons are also varied, the only thing worthy of praise may be that the armor coverage rate is not bad. The armor, Liangdang iron armor, and leather armor have a total armor coverage rate of more than [-]%.

These soldiers frantically attacked Nanwu, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack.

As a complete Wubao building, the attacker shouldn't be so eager. There are so many means of artillery vehicles and tunnels.

However, at this time, there is no reason to speak.

Because both sides are fighting for time.

The coalition forces of Guo Si, Yang Ding, and Dong Cheng totaled no more than 8000 people, and Li Jue's men had eliminated [-] Qianghu mercenaries and Yang Feng's [-] Baibo army, and there were still [-] soldiers. Even if Guo Si The coalition forces have internal agents to attack, and it is absolutely impossible to achieve too much results.

The Liangzhou army is all proud soldiers who have fought old battles, and the camps are extremely secure, and the camps are separated from each other. It doesn't matter if one or two are lost, as long as the other generals realize that the entire camp will not be lost.

However, there are only more than 300 defenders in Nanwu. Such a small number of people is not because Li Jue does not pay attention to the emperor.

The reason is that the South Dock is really small and can only accommodate so many soldiers.

Now that 100 people from the two villages have been transferred, only more than 200 soldiers are left to rely on the city wall of Wubao to resist more than 500 soldiers of King Qin on the opposite side.

Qin Wangjun's first wave of attack was very hard, but that's all.

The ferocity of Xiliang soldiers is well known throughout the world.

The children of the aristocratic families in Chang'an City, almost after the bloody bravery, the fighting spirit faded sharply.

Facing the corpses of their comrades who fell from the top of the city, and there were only a few positions at the top of the city that could not be opened up, the soldiers of King Qin's army could not see the slightest hope of a successful storm.

The bloody tug-of-war is rapidly wearing down the courage of both sides in the war.

The terrain at the top of the city limits the attacking side's troop projection, and being unable to attack for a long time is also the most tormenting blow for these inexperienced soldiers on the battlefield.

After Li Xian beheaded a Habayashi Lang with a knife, he kicked him off the top of the city, bent down and tried to cut off the climbing ladder.

However, the part of the climbing ladder at the top of the city is all made of iron and has small triangular barbs. As long as it is on the top of the city and the weight of the climbing soldiers is added, it will be difficult to overturn it from the top of the city.

After quickly confirming that it was useless, Li Xian stopped wasting time.

After all, as the defender, he just needs to hold on, wait for his uncle Li Jue to stabilize the main battlefield, and then deploy troops to support Nanwu.

However, just when King Qin's army failed to attack, an unexpected news reached Li Xian's ears.

"What did you say? The two villages were defeated?!"

The soldiers who came to interrogate also looked embarrassed, but they only nodded in response.

Li Xian's heart sank. Xu Huang's troops were so brave that they could defeat nearly twice as many Xiliang soldiers!
As a direct result of this news

——He was facing a dilemma.

"There's not much pressure on the city wall. Tiaoqin Weitun comes with me, and I'll go to the meeting in person."

In the military system of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were 50 people in a village. As Li Siam's personal guard, there were as many as 65 people. With the defeated soldiers engulfed head-on, Li Xian hurried to Wubao.

Nanwu is not big, and not long after, Li Xian bumped into Xu Huang and Liu Yi and his party who were covered in blood.

"His Majesty."

Not only Xu Huang, who was carrying a double-edged axe, signaled the emperor to retreat, but even Fu Shou and Dong Wan hid behind him and pulled his sleeves.

Liu Yi patted their little hands, indicating that they were all right, and simply unloaded a crossbow from his waist.

It's not a strong crossbow with a foot on the string, but a crossbow with a handle.

Liu Yi certainly can't draw a bow and shoot an arrow, but the hand crossbow picked up from the corpse of a Xiliang soldier is quite handy to use. It's similar to the principle of shooting a hand gun. It's done after aiming and firing. It's just loading. time consuming.

The Wangshan on the hand crossbow is about a thumb higher than the surface of the crossbow, divided into five scales, and a half-degree marking line is carved in each degree to provide a ruler for aiming.

Liu Yi raised the front end of the crossbow arm slightly, so that Wangshan, the arrow money and the target were in a straight line, and the arrows shot flew at a trajectory slightly higher than the aiming line, and easily hit the target behind the rain.

"what!!"

A hapless soldier without armor fell to the ground.

It's just that Liu Yi's determination has been revealed without a doubt by firing a crossbow arrow in front of him.

The emperor came to the battle in person, and these soldiers from Hedong County naturally had nothing to say, but died effectively.

They cheered up one after another and confronted the Xiliang army in the narrow Nanwu corridor with weapons in hand. It was like two raging waves beating together, and the torn flesh and bones became the dross left between the waves.

Besides, they were able to defeat twice as many Xiliang soldiers as themselves before.

In fact, it all depends on Xu Huang's incomparable brave performance. As an arrow in the formation, Xu Huang can almost sweep away thousands of troops.

However, in the face of Li Xian's personal army with a very high armor rate, the double-edged ax in the hands of Xu Huang, who lost his physical strength, began to lose its previous invincible prestige.

Xiliang soldiers began to tear through the formation of Hedong County soldiers and approached Liu Yi's direction, scaring Fushou and Dong Wan almost to tears.

These two weak girls just held their handkerchiefs to hold back their breath.

Liu Yi's hand crossbow kept firing, but after all, the power was too small, and the strings of the crossbow gradually became damp, and finally lost its penetrating power completely.

The Xiliang soldiers pressed harder and harder, Xu Huang fell into the bitter battle of more than dozens of armored soldiers besieging, and it was difficult to get out for a while, and there were very few soldiers from Hedong County around him.

Even if Xu Huang turned his ax over, chopping these heavily armored soldiers was like chopping melons and vegetables.

However, there were still one or two Xiliang soldiers who, with the help of their companions' dense encirclement and cover of Xu Huang, broke through Xu Huang's block and approached the emperor.

Liu Yi could even clearly see that when Xiliang soldiers wielded steel knives in the summer evening showers, the dirty braids smashed a few drops of rainwater.

The threat of death was so close to him for the first time.

However, Liu Yi calmly pulled out the seized Huan Shou Dao and held it with both hands.

Facing the Xiliang soldiers in armor, he was at a disadvantage in strength, equipment, skills, and experience, and he did not have the confidence to break through the armor with one blow.

However, Liu Yi still resolutely raised the Huan Shou Saber, protecting Fu Shou and Dong Wan behind him.

Sister Fu Yu looked at the man standing in front of her. He was not tall and his shoulders were not broad, but he really stood up for them.

Sister Fu Yu swallowed back what she was about to say. Husband and wife are one, they can only live and die together.

Xiliang soldiers charged closer and closer, and blue-purple lightning pierced the sky, in the light of this moment.

A two-handed epee fell from the high wall of the Nanwu courtyard.

The sword is like a rainbow!

Carrying huge inertia and impact force, the epee split the armored soldier from Xiliang who rushed to Liu Yi into two halves.

Yes, two halves.

The two parts of the soldier's body went their own way, and before taking a step, they collapsed to the ground.

The old man in the sheepskin jacket who didn't know whether it was yellowish black or black black turned his head.

The old man didn't even wipe the blood on his face, and grinned at Liu Yi, showing his broken teeth.

"Your Majesty, did I hit this sword?"

The old man didn't wait for Liu Yi's answer, he turned around and swung a two-handed epee that was half his body tall, killing all Xiliang soldiers on their backs in close combat.

This person was none other than Wang Yue, the sword sage of the late Han Dynasty.

Now he is serving as Huben Lang in the palace, a serious "big inner master".

It's really a road that never ends!
The life-and-death crisis was temporarily lifted, the blood flowed back from the limbs, and the tense muscles stimulated by the adrenal glands began to spasm slightly.

Liu Yi gasped for air, supplying oxygen to his body.

After a while, he swallowed a sip of rainwater in the rainstorm, laughed loudly, and uttered a word in a loud voice.

"middle!"
