Horse on the World

Chapter 314
These days, Li Shanbin, who has been restless, can hardly sleep at night. When he tosses and turns, he can only lament that he is in the Jianghu and cannot help himself. In fact, being in the court is worse than the cruelty of the Jianghu.An order to lock the gate lightly and skillfully by myself will cause the death of countless people in Bayan Har, who are thousands of miles away.Countless good men from Great Chu will be buried on the grasslands, and it will be difficult to return to their hometown. When I think of these, my heart feels like insects biting.But he was powerless to change, because to change all of this, the first thing he had to do was to sacrifice his own wealth and life.He could only comfort himself like this.

His wife and children had been away for several days, and he was all alone lying on the bed, staring at the candles dancing but unable to fall asleep, so when the alarm bell on the city wall sounded, he rushed out immediately When he got out of the room, he saw several guards rushing towards him, his face showing panic. "General, enemy attack!"

For a moment, Li Shanbin didn't even react, the enemy attacked, where is the enemy?But the trembling of the ground immediately made him react, and the thunderous shouts in the distance allowed him to clearly distinguish the direction of the enemy coming, west, Dingzhou!
In an instant, Li Shanbin's mind went blank. No matter how many possible ways Dingzhou could react in his mind, he never thought that Dingzhou's reaction would be so direct and violent.

"Prepare the horse, go to the west city!" He subconsciously gave the order.

Feng Ke, the captain on duty at Qixiaguan who first discovered that something was wrong in Xicheng, reacted in a rather unpleasant way. Instead of waiting for Li Shanbin's order, he directly ordered all the soldiers in the city to march towards Xicheng. When he was still hundreds of meters away from the west city gate, he saw a scene that made him heartbroken. The wide suspension bridge fell heavily and landed on the moat. In the distance, countless torches were gathering into a fire dragon, flying rapidly. Run to the west gate.

West City has fallen into enemy hands!Feng Ke immediately came to a conclusion in his mind. "Attack, take back the west city gate!" Feng Ke swung his knife and shouted, and rushed to the west city gate first.

On the gate tower of the west city, Zhong Jing steadily drew the bowstring, followed Feng Ke's running figure and slowly moved, let go, and the sharp arrow made a whining sound, and flew towards Feng Ke like lightning.

Responding almost subconsciously, Feng Ke swung his knife upwards, and within a short time, he smashed Zhong Jing away with an arrow. The sharp arrow flew past his helmet, and shot the red cherry on the helmet. His hair stood on end, he suddenly raised his head to look at the city gate building, the three black lines in front of him almost formed a straight line, flying straight towards him, such a fast arrow, this was his last reaction.With a sound of Chi, three arrows were shot in the brain, chest, and abdomen. Feng Ke fell on his back, and his body fell heavily on the cold city wall.

"Captain Feng is dead!" Feng Ke's death caused panic, and the soldiers slowed down.

"Rush up and take back the west city gate, or everyone will die!" Another officer jumped out, waving his weapon and commanding the soldiers to rush towards the west city gate, but he only ran a few steps before being called by the condescending Zhong Jing again shoot.

Wang Qi gave Zhong Jing a thumbs up, turned around and ordered loudly: "Brothers, have you seen it? When you support Yizhuxiang, Qixia Pass is ours. After completing this task, go back to Dingzhou, my king." Qi invites you to drink and go shopping."

The team members laughed loudly. Although the battle was at hand, they were extremely relaxed. With their previous preparations, the difficulty was not that great.

"Ba Niu, let me shoot at the place where the crowd is densest!" Wang Qi said loudly.

With a buzzing sound, the crossbow was as thick as a child's arm and shot out with a scream. Above the city wall, the terrain was narrow, and there was really not much room to hide from the flashlight. The crossbow flew by, and immediately opened a bloody alley among the crowd.

At this time, a large number of Qixiaguan defenders rushed up and down the city, and there was the sound of horseshoes in the distance. Obviously, there were also cavalry rushing over from the city. Wang Qi glanced at Zhong Jing on the gate tower, and knew that she was guarding it. , There should be no problem in the city, he made a gesture to Zhong Jing, and hurried down the city, the city gate, there is the key, there are 150 special service members, there are [-] guards there.

At the west city gate, the team members temporarily built a simple barricade with earth bags and some furniture. There are eight oxen crossbows and strong crossbows placed behind them. A short dagger and a hand crossbow.The soldiers rushing on the street were suppressed by them a hundred paces away, unable to advance an inch, and could only shoot at them with bows and arrows from a distance.

When Li Shanbin arrived at the West City Gate, there had been a stalemate for a while. Listening to the approaching sound of horseshoes, looking at the opened West City Gate and the falling suspension bridge, Li Shanbin's face was ashen, and the opportunity was fleeting. Hesitation, today is the end of the city broken and dead.

"Cavalryman, rush over to me." He roared angrily.The few cavalry he brought were all his own soldiers. Hearing his general's roar, without the slightest hesitation, the cavalry broke their horses and rushed forward.Crossbow bolts whizzed towards them, horses fell to the ground, and some hit the simple barricade directly, collapsing the simple barricade, and the special service members behind had to dodge, and the rain of arrows immediately thinned out.

In one charge, dozens of horses and their knights fell down, and the street was blocked by corpses. The following cavalry could no longer charge. Li Shanbin fell off his horse, holding the spear in his hand, and hissed: "Life and death, at this moment, follow me to rush over." Take the lead, and kill the past.

Teams of infantry raised their spears and swarmed forward.

The soldiers behind were even more busy dragging the dead horse to the side of the street and opening a temporary passage.

With the iron gun waving, the secret service members who came up fell down one after another. Li Shanbin killed one person in one step, and approached the city gate step by step. The 150 secret service members dropped their longbows, pulled out their steel knives, and greeted them with a roar. One stick of incense, they only need to stick to the time of one stick of incense, and now, half of the time has passed. Looking back, they The fire dragon approaching rapidly can already be seen through the city gate.

Wang Qi met Li Shanbin. As the director of the Operation Department, Wang Qi's personal bravery was beyond words. He swung a steel knife and fought with Li Shanbin. One inch was long, one inch was strong, one inch was short, and one inch was dangerous. On the field, his steel knife is more effective than Li Shanbin's spear.With Wang Qi standing up against Li Shanbin, the pressure on the secret service members was greatly reduced. Under the light of swords, they fought on par with the Qixiaguan defenders who were several times more than them.

If they were on a spacious battlefield, these team members might not be able to play a big role. Under the attack of the regular army, they would soon fail. The combat formation can only be confused with the enemy according to the terrain, which gives the Dingzhou special service members, who are much stronger in individual strength, an advantage.What's more, the weapons in their hands are also extremely superior. Often Qixiaguan soldiers will pair their knives with each other, and with a cracking sound, their own knives will be cut off, the spear shaft will be cut off, and then their heads will be cut off. cut down.

But it has to be said that there are too many opponents, too many ants killed the tiger, and the Qixiaguan soldiers are still slowly approaching the city gate.

Above the city tower, Zhong Jing saw that the situation below the city was not good, and immediately turned the arrow, swishing, and the Qixiaguan soldiers in the front row fell down one after another.

Li Shanbin was very anxious, seeing that he could not gain the upper hand, he threw away the spear in his hand in a rage, and snatched the saber of a soldier beside him, and slashed at Wang Qi like a mad tiger. Immediately, Wang Qi was forced to retreat step by step.

Zhong Jing wound up, drew the bow, and with a whoosh, an arrow shot at Li Shanbin, and it was Li Shanbin who deserved to die. Just at this time, Wang Qi struck with a knife, and he shrank his neck, and the arrow shot away his helmet with a bang. However, he himself didn't even hurt a single oily skin, but after being frightened by this, Wang Qi quickly seized this rare opportunity and slightly regained the disadvantage.

Zhong Jing snorted, and stretched out her hand to touch the arrow again, but found nothing. When she looked down, there were no more dozens of arrows lined up on the ground. With a knife and a dagger in her left hand, she swooped down from the top of the tower like a swallow, and went down the steps. When she ran down the steps, dozens of Qixiaguan soldiers on the steps had already fallen into a pool of blood.And her body was also stained with blood, but it was impossible to tell whose blood it was.

Li Shanbin slashed fiercely in a row, forcing Wang Qi to retreat step by step. When he was struggling left and right, a long knife suddenly stretched out from one side, blocked Li Shanbin's fierce blows with a bang, and completely took over Li Shanbin's attack. past.

"Wang Qi, I'll come, you block the others!" Zhong Jing said.

"Lord Zhong, be careful!" Wang Qi leaped to the side, slashed back, and cut down a soldier who was sneaking up beside him. Then he took a breath, looked at Li Shanbin with disheveled hair, and couldn't help but take a breath. Yes, it's true that I'm afraid of death.

Li Shanbin and Zhong Jing fought each other several times, and their hearts sank completely. Although the opponent was a woman, her skill was so high, which is really rare. Without Zhong Jing standing in front of him, his soldiers were killed by the big man who had just fought with him and retreated again and again.

The sound of shouting and killing sounded like thunder in his ears, countless torches illuminated the west city gate, and the sound of horseshoes was close at hand. Li Shanbin looked at the west city gate a few steps away, but it was as far away as the sky, too late, too late!He yelled in his heart, go now, or he will die here if he doesn't go.

With a certain thought, Li Shanbin swung his knife, turned around and left, when he turned his head, the guards around him turned around and ran away with him.

"Kill!" Outside the city, Li Feng leaped his horse with his spear in full swing, he rushed across the suspension bridge first, and rushed into the west city gate.

Qixia Pass fell.
