The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 207

"Head. There is a head on the ground."

"Where did it come from?"

"Inside, save Jiedushi—"

"The door won't open!"

"Over the wall!"

The voices were chaotic, and a group of panicked soldiers slammed into the courtyard door, or sent their companions to the courtyard wall with their hands. In the sight of the climbing figure, the swords and soldiers collided chaotically, and the front line of fighting spread from the house to the courtyard.Before the person who climbed to the wall could yell, a feathered arrow flew towards him with a 'swoosh', nailing the door in front of him, and fell back outside with blood.

The golden lion knives danced wildly at the gate of the courtyard, and Li Maozhen's soldiers were wiped out by Dou Wei and other gangsters who rushed up suddenly. , stepping to squeeze his subordinates away, the Golden Lion Saber swept across fiercely, and chopped the opponent away: "Form an formation, keep a stick of incense!"

The rivers, lakes and green forests may be invincible to the army. In such a narrow place, it is still possible to form an array to defend against the soldiers rushing from the courtyard.

In the chaotic confrontation over there, a few soldiers under Li Maozhen's command came over to snatch the door. They greeted each other with darts, bamboo sticks, limes and other hidden weapons, and then quickly outflanked and killed him with agility. , and then retreat back to form a group.

In the chaotic center of the courtyard, Li Maozhen swung a knife to cut off the stabbing spear and sent people flying, pointing at the side of the courtyard and shouting: "Jipeng, take people back to the courtyard gate!"

At this time, Li Jiji, who was standing under the eaves of the middle hall, was wearing a bright light armor and did not participate in the fighting outside. He forcibly suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and kept ordering the guards behind him to call the soldiers to outflank, and the archers to block the killing and climb up the upper courtyard. The enemy of the wall, hearing Li Maozhen's voice in the chaos, turned his lock neck and looked over.

Then, he gripped the handle of the knife tightly, and led ten personal soldiers into the battle group. There was a row of houses behind him, and a steady stream of soldiers poured out.

These are all hidden in the last three batches by him. There are more than 300 people, which is several times more than the dozens of people around Li Maozhen. If you can't win this, it is better to die here.

Thinking about it like this, Li Jiji roared angrily, "Ah--", he walked slowly and squeezed away a soldier in front of him, then suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the crowd in front of him. He is a general in the army and has learned martial arts since childhood. Martial arts are naturally not weak, the horizontal knife in his hand slashed on a shield, and the blade swung around his wrist, inserting it along the gaps in the shield wall which were not densely packed.

The soldier holding the shield screamed and fell down holding the shield.The gap opened, and the soldiers around Li Jiji rushed in desperately, and suffered several injuries. One soldier hugged an enemy opposite and crushed him down, shouting with blood all over his mouth:
"Major General, kill—"

"kill!"

The bright armor on Li Jiji's body was already stained with dark red, and at this moment he also showed his fierceness, relying on the firmness of the bright armor as an arrow with his red eyes, he took the lead in entering the gap.

Across the field of vision, he stared at Li Maozhen behind the crowd of people, and shouted: "Rebel, Li Jiji is ordered to kill you!!"

The latter stopped his commanding voice, shouted at Yoshiko who was opposite, and yelled in the same tone.

"That Geng Qing plot to divide you!!"

Li Jiji slashed open the intercepting figure, relying on the solidity of the armor to break through the front line, "Fart alienation, what did you say to Li Jipeng in your house that day, I didn't say a word, I heard everything—"

This made Li Maozhen stunned for a moment, and almost at the same time, Li Jiji raised his finger: "Whoever kills Li Maozhen first, I will make him a tooth general!!"

Already fighting more with less, the soldiers who fell behind heard this, fearing that they would not get credit for it, they crazily squeezed the comrades in front and rushed over there.

The autumn wind blew across the brutally slaughtered courtyard, arrows flew over people's heads, and the figure that climbed up the courtyard wall was falling.

With a loud sound, an arrow was nailed to the shield in front of Geng Qing, scaring him so much that he shrank his neck, let Jiuyu protect him and retreated into the middle hall, lifted the hem of his robe and sat on the big chair in the middle. Putting up the shield, Jiuyu stood aside with his hands behind his back.

"If Cun Xiao was here, Li Maozhen's head would be in front of me right now, alas"

In the eyes, people from the rivers and lakes on the other side of the courtyard surrounded more than a dozen soldiers who rushed forward. Dou Wei held the Golden Lion Saber and leaned on his strong body, waving the saber light wide and wide. On the body, at the same time as the skin, muscles, and bones were cut, the stumps and flesh were also whirling away in an instant.

In the chaos, the rivers, lakes, and green forests who were fighting each other also found a tacit understanding. Cooperating with Dou Wei to shrink the encirclement, Li Jipeng, who was protected by several soldiers in the middle, stabbed the rushing green forest man with a knife, but the blade was pulled tightly by the opponent's pair of bloody hands. live.

While scrambling and kicking the opponent away, Li Jipeng's voice was still shouting, "Get lost—"

He kicked the man away with one foot, and the moment he retreated after pulling out the saber, the golden lion howled wildly and slashed down angrily.

"Ah-"

Holding a knife in a severed arm, he fell heavily to the ground with blood trailing. Li Jipeng looked at the half of his right arm, blood gushing out wildly, screaming hysterically, and then he was kicked to the ground.

The shrill scream attracted Li Maozhen's attention. When he was a little distracted, the soldier in front was chopped to death with a knife, and the body hit his chest. He instinctively took a few steps back and landed on the courtyard wall.

The righteous son Li Jipeng robbed the gate of the courtyard and sent about a dozen people. The 35 people around him fell sharply to about [-] people at the first moment when they fought with each other. keeps falling.

"Climb the wall!"

At this moment, a voice shouted on the courtyard wall, and stretched out his hand to pull Li Maozhen. The latter quickly grabbed the opponent's arm and climbed up. The next moment, the arrow flew towards him and nailed his calf under the skirt armor. The soles of the feet on the wall slipped suddenly, and the whole person fell from mid-air, and the helmet fell to the feet of others. This fall was a bit heavy.

The fighting gradually spread from the gate of the courtyard, flanking Li Jiji's soldiers in the courtyard, killing more than a dozen people who resisted last in the sticky courtyard full of corpses.

Someone brought Li Jipeng, who was screaming with a severed hand, over and threw him against the wall.Beside him, Li Maozhen, who was shot in the calf by an arrow, struggled to get the weapon on the ground, but was kicked away by a foot armor coming over.

Li Maozhen moved his eyes up along the blood-stained nail leaf, and saw the tall Li Jiji taking off his iron helmet, pursing his lips and looking at him expressionlessly.

"Jiji. Father treats you well, adopts you by his side, teaches you martial arts, teaches you the art of war, never treats you harshly and refuses to kill me. Tomorrow, as father, I will leave Longzhou and give this place to you."

"Jiji."

Li Maozhen called out again, and he sat there leaning against the wall with disheveled hair. His former majestic appearance had long since disappeared, and he looked more like a down-and-out middle-aged man, pleading pitifully to Li Jiji.

".Jiji" On the other side, Li Jipeng gritted his teeth and cried out in pain.

Looking at the appearance of the two of them, Li Jiji raised the knife and hesitated for a moment, then slowly put it down, and before it fell to the ground, one hand held his wrist from behind.

"Hesitated?"

Geng Qing stood beside him, patted the major general on the shoulder, looked at the two people at the foot of the wall with a smile, and said softly: "You treat him as a father, but has he ever regarded you as a son?"

Hehehe.
Li Jiji gritted his teeth and let out a chuckle, his eyes widened suddenly, and he stepped forward quickly. The blade that had fallen was raised above his head again, and the sun passed through the blade. Li Maozhen pressed against the wall, his eyes widened as well, and hissed : "Ah -" shouted.

"what!"

Li Jiji gritted his teeth loosely and let out a roar that had never been seen before, and chopped down with both arms holding the knife.

puff!
The blade sliced ​​through flesh and blood, and the voice of the screaming figure stopped abruptly, and the heads on both shoulders rolled down with a swish.

Li Jipeng was so frightened that he forgot the pain, and stared blankly. After he realized, the figure of Mingguang Kai had already walked in front of his head, and then kicked him in a circle with a bang.

"Brother, go on the road with father, so that you two will be taken care of when you get down!"

Speaking in a trembling voice, the blade in Li Jiji's hand fell again.

The front of the soldiers outside was still attacking the courtyard gate, but the soldiers who climbed up the courtyard wall and descended had already stopped, watching the crowd in front of them parting, Li Jiji walked over with two bloody heads.

"Everyone, please open the door." He ordered softly.

Dou Wei glanced at Geng Qing in the distance, Geng Qing smiled at him, raised his hand and waved, the broken and swaying courtyard door collapsed with a bang, and the crowded soldiers and horses outside, watching the figure walking out, gradually became quiet , stood in place.

"Li Maozhen supported the soldiers with self-respect, despised the imperial court, and acted against the court. If things go on like this, they will be defeated, and their lives will not be guaranteed! I will follow the holy will with the envoy Yantie, and we will send troops to attack them. From now on."

Outside the gate of the courtyard, Li Jiji raised two heads, which fell into the sight of everyone, and his voice resounded: "There will be no more such thieves in the future—"

The head was thrown far into the sky.
