The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 290

The clouds drifting across the sky covered the bright sun, and the sky was overcast from one's field of vision. Countless eyes looked at the school field, and Ling rode over. He looked back at the high platform, and the figure standing on the edge of it was closed. He nodded with his eyes closed.

"Execution—"

Ling Qi turned his head, and the voice shouted.

From different directions, the soldiers driving the five carriages cracked their whips, urging the horses to move, the shafts of the carriages rolled slowly, dragging the rope at the rear gradually tightened, and the other end was pulled down by the rope, Li Cunxiao tensed his hands and feet and pulled him up from the ground.

"drive!"

"Go! You bastard—"

The soldiers driving were whipping and lashing, shouting and cursing loudly, and the five war horses were kicking their hoofs vigorously, and the manes on the back of their necks were all flying.

On the high platform, listening to the voice of shouting and cursing the war horses below, Li Keyong knew that his son's life was gone today. He felt something choked in his throat and felt a little sore. He frowned and asked in a low voice to go to the entrance of the high platform. personal guard.

"Cunxiao, has he left?"

The personal guard had been staring down, with a look of embarrassment on his face, hesitatingly said: "Report to King Jin. General. It's all right, but the rope is broken."

Ok?
Li Keyong opened his eyes, and five carriages stopped in place in the school field below. The originally tight rope broke and fell to the ground, almost causing him to fall off the high platform angrily.

"Change the chain!"

In the low voice, the face of the King Jin was flushed with anger. It was not so much angry as it made him feel ashamed. After a while, the five carriages below were replaced with iron chains, but the carriages started to run. Li Cunxiao, whose hands, feet and neck were bound, was still unable to split apart.

This caused an uproar among the soldiers around the school grounds. Under such circumstances, ordinary people would have been torn into several pieces. Everyone was so shocked that they almost thought that Li Cunxiao was possessed by a god.

Right now, in the crowd, there was even a figure who couldn't help shouting: "The general is mighty!" Afterwards, he was dragged behind and beaten by Shi Chang.

"Father!"

At this time, the figure hanging in the air opened his eyes, looking at the half-round sun behind the clouds, his voice spread in the school grounds.

"Pick the child's hands and feet. That's the only way to kill me."

Li Ke blushed with his old face, it was good not to say this, but it made him even more embarrassed, making people feel that such a fierce general could do it.

"Father, let me come."

It was Li Cunxin who was speaking. At this moment, he was only feeling frightened. He was deeply afraid that Li Keyong on the stage would soften his heart. If Li Cunxiao did not die today, he would return to his post in the future. kill.

Instead of that, it is better to strike while the iron is hot.

On the high platform, Li Ke nodded silently, and Li Cunxin, who was ordered below, immediately found a dagger, unsheathed it, and strode forward in front of the figure hanging in mid-air with his hand upside down.

Seeing the familiar face looking up to the sky, Li Cunxin smiled.

"Cun Xiao, brother, being a brother won't make you feel bad. The Black Crow Army, I will take care of them in the future."

Li Cunxiao frowned, looked at the figure in front of him, but after all he didn't say anything, slowly closed his eyes, and turned his face to the other side.

'Ha ha'

Li Cunxin has never seen Li Cunxiao's expression of resignation to his fate before, and he chuckled enjoying himself, holding the dagger, the sharp tip of the knife slowly moved the cloth to the opponent's wrist, and the moment it stuck to the wrist——

——Arrows flew up in the sky.

Li Cunxin stopped his hand, and subconsciously turned his head to raise his eyes. All the veterans on the battlefield, and the surrounding generals also turned their heads to look in the direction of the flying arrow.

On the high platform, Li Ke frowned and looked at the same.

The second loud arrow went up again, this time from the streets of the city, and it was heard more clearly.

"In town."

Li Ke murmured two words in a puzzled manner, then lowered his brows to the vigilant Li Siyuan, with a horrified expression on his face, he turned around and shouted at the high platform: "Father, Liang Jun invaded Luzhou!"

Liang Jun attacked the city, how could there be no movement at all.
Many, many people still hadn't recovered from such thoughts, Li Siyuan had already rushed to the high platform to pull Li Keyong and ran to the other side of the school field.

He didn't think about forming an formation at all. After all, the soldiers in the army were watching the punishment in the school grounds, and they didn't carry weapons in order to fear that someone would take the opportunity to make trouble. Now it has become the biggest mistake.

The soldiers around the school ground who haven't recovered yet, or are in confusion and doubt, the next moment, panicked and fled in all directions. In the chaotic field of vision, the road leading to the streets and alleys of the city ahead, the black front of the soldiers is like a tide. came rushing over.

"kill--"

Explosive sound waves, iron hoofs churning and trampling on the ground, several roads leading to the northwest school grounds converged in torrents, densely packed figures holding swords and soldiers followed the cavalry into the school ground full of running figures, sword lights, war horses Entering the crowd, the almost one-sided massacre spread and advanced in an instant.

Li Cunxiao stared at the sky with his lifeless eyes open to the fleeing soldiers of the Jin army and the pursued Liang Jun bound by iron chains, as if he no longer cared about what happened around him.

"Li Cunxiao?" Someone came on horseback, looked down at the man whose hands and feet were bound by iron chains, and waved to the guards around him to untie the chains.

"He is the brother of the supervisor, so don't make things difficult, take him to a safe place, and wait for the supervisor to deal with it."

Yang Shihou watched the lifeless man being escorted by soldiers and took him elsewhere. It was hard to imagine that this was the rumored General Feihu, so he couldn't help but shook his head.

"This kind of man loses his fighting spirit later on, and he doesn't know when he will recover. This Li Keyong really broke his own arm."

Looking at the school field, the sound of fighting resounded, and the Liang army who had rushed into this side was advancing. In the chaos, Li Keyong turned on his horse, and Shi Jingsi led hundreds of guards while fighting and retreating, and then followed him. Li Siyuan, Li Sizhao, Li Cunshen and others who had gathered more than a hundred people rushed to the west gate.

When you get out of the school grounds, there are mostly Liang Jun soldiers on the street here, but fortunately there are not many. Li Cunshen, Li Sizhao, and Shi Jingsi lead the troops to open the way, kill the people, recruit the remnants along the way, and reach the gate of the city , Gathering the soldiers and horses of the city defense here, we can barely make up three thousand.

However, Luzhou has fallen, and it is impossible to take the city back with this little army.

"go!"

Li Keyong rushed out of the city gate, looked back, gritted his teeth and growled, as long as the generals around him are still around, he can gather a considerable army after returning to Taiyuan and recuperating for a few years.

The clouds dissipated, the sun slanted down, and the mountains and plains were green and pleasant, and the cicadas all over the mountains were singing one after another. The team fleeing to the north of Luzhou finally had a chance to breathe, and they stopped temporarily at the foot of the mountain to rest their horses.

Many wounded and exhausted soldiers were sitting on the ground, long gone from the excitement of watching the scene in the school grounds, with their heads bowed dejectedly, making it difficult to speak.

In the panic and uneasy atmosphere, some explorers came back from the direction of Luzhou and reported whether there were any pursuers behind them, whether Luzhou could be exposed to Liang Jun's hands, and so on.

Li Ke with his armor and cloak mottled with blood slowly opened his eyes, looking at the remaining soldiers around him, his chest couldn't breathe, and he almost passed out.

After being poured with some water by Li Siyuan, he just got better. He gritted his teeth and forced out a little voice: "When I came here, I was very energetic and invincible. I don't understand why there is only so little left."

There were not many generals left around, most of those who didn't keep up were already trapped in Luzhou City, all the generals lowered their heads, hesitated to speak, and finally fell silent when they arrived.

The sunlight moved slowly on the ground under the shade of the mountains. In the distance, a horse's hoof pressed against the dead leaves and made a slight sound. In the nearby forest, the green shade mottled across the armor. Yang Huaixiong caressed his beards, squinted his eyes, and slowly lowered the blade to the ground, pressing the blade on the dead leaves.

Behind them, a dense crowd of figures gathered on their horses and pressed their hooves, and then lined up in several rows along the edge of the forest.

"Get ready!" Yang Huaixiong said in a low voice, and the mount under him slowly stepped forward like a human being. The moment he reached the edge, the tall general above tightened his grip on the handle of the knife.

When the wind blew, the beard fluttered, the feet touched the horse's ribs, the horse neighed excitedly, and rushed straight down, his voice was majestic and majestic, roaring!

"Stamp them to death!"

The sound of violent drinking resounded, murderous intent permeated from the words, and the war horse galloped down.

At the foot of the mountain in the distance, the resting team drank water and rubbed their feet quietly. At a certain moment, the noisy cicadas suddenly became silent in the mountains and forests. The earth gradually came to life.

The three thousand remnant soldiers stood up together, and looking in the direction they looked, a big black horse leaped out of the forest with a knight in armor, his beard and beard fluttered in the air, and the moment the iron hooves landed, more horses rushed out In the mountain forest, one horse, two horses, four horses, hundreds of horses, rushed out from the left and right sides of the mountain forest, dragging smoke, branches and leaves, making deafening hooves, and rising into the sky with murderous aura.

"There's an ambush—" someone yelled out.

"Combine!"

Shi Jingsi was also shouting in the crowd on horseback.

The overwhelming [-] dragon troops were like a flood, and when they 'boomed' away the hastily formed formation, there was a loud bang.

Cavalry running at high speed crashed into the crowd, pushing them in like a pile driver. When the human body collided with the horse, the bones were broken in an instant, and the body also flew upside down, or stepped under the iron hoof, stretching for more than ten feet. The front line was riddled with holes in an instant, and the dragon army who rushed into the formation waved their spears frantically towards the surroundings, or drew out their blades and slashed indiscriminately.

The lights of knives, the shadows of people intertwined, the screams of soldiers, the flying flesh and blood, and the stumps flying in the air, some people rushed up bravely, and then they were squeezed down by the fleeing companions, trampled under the hooves of the horses, and trampled into a pulp .

In just over ten breaths, the frenzied harvesting cavalry rushed back and forth ferociously, plowing out a large open space.

"Father-in-law, let's go—" Li Siyuan slashed with a knife, leaned against another lieutenant and shouted at Li Keyong, "Li Sizhao, take father-in-law away!!"

"King Jin, hurry up and enter the forest!!"

Shi Jingsi was covered in blood, one eye was closed, and the bottom of the eyelid was full of blood. He led more than a thousand soldiers to stop the last line, and also yelled at Li Siyuan: "You too, if something happens to me, let my son take his place." My revenge—"

In the voice, the several groups of cavalry that had been split and interspersed with each other gathered again, and the leading general dragged his knife and launched a charge again. The thick blade dragged on the ground, drawing long traces, and smashed the fine stones and mud on the ground.

"Enemy general, bring the head—"

The sound was like a bell over the din, and the galloping black horse knocked over the soldiers of the Jin army who were blocking the way, and went straight to the shouting enemy general.

sigh -

The black horse man stood up, on the horse's back, Yang Huaixiong turned his arms, the blade 'buzzed' across the air, and lifted it up to the sky, the blade reflected the bright sunshine, and slashed down angrily.

Shi Jingsi's voice paused, and when he turned his head, a chill came into his eyes from top to bottom.

"cut--"

The blade fell, and the blood shot up into the sky.

　It's late. I went out to do some errands today and came back late.
