Chapter 54 Battle of Qinglinpu 2
Seeing the warriors rushing so fast, some of the archers in Qinglinpu knew that they could not shoot the second arrow, so they quickly let go of their bows and reached for the knife handles at their waists.

But some archers still reached back, intending to draw arrows from the arrow baskets behind their backs, but they definitely had no chance to put the drawn arrows on the bows in their hands.

In just over a breath (six seconds), twelve warriors on both sides had already rushed into the left and right square formations, fighting closely with Qinglinpu's thugs, using short spears and swords in their hands to block left and right.

The spear spits out a message like a white snake and hisses through the wind, and the knife shuttles like a dragon, walking around. Sometimes it is as light as a swallow, and it rises with the knife, sometimes it is as sudden as lightning, and blood splashes.

Only twelve people completely blocked the offensive of more than 100 people from the two phalanxes on the left and right.

The eleven crossbow warriors who stayed in the middle did not have to worry about the two sides. They aimed at the Qinglinpu thugs in the middle square and fired quickly and skillfully, making it difficult for the people in the middle square to move forward.

The battle ended very quickly. After all, the Qinglinpu thugs were not regular soldiers. When the casualties reached about [-]%, the remaining thugs, looking at these twenty fierce men who looked like ghosts returning from hell, lost all courage and started Turn and run.

In fact, Liu Xinqi could see that they could hold on until they lost [-]% before escaping. It was probably because Liujiabao's offensive was so fast that they did not react in time.

"Don't chase. Rest where you are, bandage your wounds, and regain your strength." Seeing that there were soldiers chasing and killing these fleeing people, Liu Xinqi quickly stopped them.

Because Liu Xinqi saw another large wave of people rushing out of the port buildings, more than the previous wave of people, estimated to be more than 300 people.

Seeing that this group of people was still some distance away from the battlefield, the soldiers began to cooperate in pairs, quickly applying hemostatic medicine to each other's wounds, and then simply binding them with clean cloth strips in the small bags on their backs.

There were too many people facing the enemy this time. After all, the soldiers were still flesh and blood, so they would inevitably be injured.Liu Xinqi looked around the scene and found that more than half of the soldiers had wounds of varying degrees on their bodies. Although they all avoided the vital points, their clothes were still stained red by the donated blood flowing out of the wounds.

"Should we retreat first?" Li Cang walked to Liu Xinqi's side and suggested.

"Well, let's take a look at the situation. This wave of people didn't charge directly. They should be different from the previous wave. If a fight is really going to happen, it won't be too late to retreat." Liu Xinqi saw that the people rushing towards him slowly stopped. A hundred steps away from the battlefield, Li Cang replied.

Reinforcements in the distance blocked a few fleeing deserters, and they were probably arrested for interrogation. Afterwards, several leaders gathered together to discuss.Due to the wailing of the wounded soldiers on the battlefield and the sound of the waves nearby, Liu Xinqi could not hear what they were discussing.

Taking advantage of this short gap, Liujiabao's soldiers began to recycle their weapons on the battlefield, recycling all the crossbow arrows and short guns they had fired before, in preparation for the possible war that would happen next.

About a quarter of an hour later, two people came out of the opposite camp, neither of them carrying weapons, and walked straight towards the battlefield.When he got about twenty steps closer to the soldiers, Liu Xinqi also stepped forward to greet them.

"This hero, I am Xu Yong, this is Cui Shan, and we are the stewards of the Xu family and the Cui family of Qinglin Pu." The middle-aged man who looked more elegant introduced himself first.

Another rough-looking man who looked bigger just bowed his hand to Liu Xinqi following Xu Yong's introduction. This should be Cui Shan.

"I am Penglai Liu Xinqi." Liu Xinqi introduced.

It is foreseeable that for a long time in the future, the development focus of Liujiabao people will be in Penglai, and Liujiabao will be rebuilt in Penglai, so Liu Xinqi is right to introduce himself as a Penglai person. "I don't know why it's gotten to this point. Can we sit down and talk?" Xu Yong continued.

After all, the person with the big fist has the right to speak. If Liu Xinqi and more than 20 people were suppressed and beaten by the opposite party today, it is estimated that the Xu and Cui families would not come over to waste their words and directly come to help the tyrants, otherwise they would not have gathered so many people. People come here.Come to think of it, I am still wary of Liu Jiabao's combat power, so I want to sit down and test it out first.

"We Liujiabao came to your place this time for one thing only, which is the massacre of Zhaojiacun here 20 days ago. Do you want to talk to me about this?" Liu Xinqi asked.

"This..." Xu Yong and Cui Shan looked at each other, and Liu Xinqi saw a look called "opportunity" in their eyes.

"I still know a little bit about this matter. It has nothing to do with our Xu family and Cui family. Our Xu and Cui families are doing business based on the principle of 'harmony brings wealth'." Xu Yong continued: "This It was the work of the Wu family."

"Then you can go back. If you still want to talk to me after I deal with the Wu family, sit down and talk with me then." Liu Xinqi said.

"Although the matter in Zhaojiacun has nothing to do with us, our Xu, Cui, and Wu families have an alliance to help each other and support each other." Xu Yong thought about it and said again: "So, please ask Liu Yingxiong to stop the killing. , our two families are willing to act as intermediaries, so that everyone can sit down and talk."

"Yes, yes, sit down and talk." Cui Shan echoed.

"Things have developed to this point. The Wu family and I have become in a fight to the death. Anyone who is let go will probably have trouble sleeping and eating. Besides, even if I want to talk, those people in Zhaojia Village who died in vain will not agree." Liu Xinqi replied, It seemed like a rejection, but it didn't mean anything.

"Don't worry about this. We can talk about anything. We must give Zhaojiacun an explanation." Xu Yong immediately understood the meaning behind Liu Xinqi's words and agreed quickly.

What Liu Xinqi meant was that he had to destroy the Wu family this time, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sleep, but he could talk to the two families present.

Xu Yong agreed, which meant that Xu, Cui and Liu Xinqi had temporarily formed an "alliance" of interests, and planned to eliminate the Wu family together.

After the negotiation was completed, it was agreed to negotiate at the pier in the middle of Qinglinpu Port at noon. Liu Xinqi led the soldiers towards Liujiabao's ship. Wherever he passed, whether it was the reinforcements that came later or the sight from a distance, The lively crowd all consciously gave way to the passage.

The evil spirits on the soldiers were too strong.

More than 300 people summoned by the Xu and Cui families began to clean the battlefield, carry away the corpses and wounded, and clean the ground.

After returning to the ship, the doctor on the ship carefully treated the soldier's wound again. After removing the cloth strip, he washed the wound clean with alcohol, then applied knife wound medicine, and finally bandaged it again with a clean cloth strip boiled in boiling water. .

After treating the wounds, the chef brought out the prepared food. The twenty or so people took the time to eat and then rest in preparation for possible conflicts at noon.

Liu Xinqi also suffered a cut on the upper part of his left arm, but the bleeding had stopped on its own by now. It is estimated that if there are no more violent movements later, the scab will heal quickly on its own.
