But it was said that Shi Bao led the troops and ran all the way to the west gate. This trek was much more difficult than the journey to the north gate first.
It turned out that Tong Guan led the main force of the army into the city. When he learned that the vanguard had defeated the enemy, his troops immediately rejoiced. Under the banner of killing the remaining thieves, they burned, killed and looted the city.
When Shi Bao went to the north gate before, he walked far away from them, so it was relatively easy. Now he turned around and headed west, but he was walking towards them. It was really a killing at every ten steps, a battle at a hundred steps, and he could not stop for a moment.
Fortunately, there were still many southern soldiers who had broken up in the city. While they were fighting, the remaining soldiers continued to join in. When they reached the west gate, there were still more people. However, Shi Bao knew in his heart that the southern soldiers still alive in the city were probably... Most of them are here.
When he arrived at the west gate, Shi Bao took a look and frowned - the west gate was wide open, and there was no defender on or below the city!
Xu Bai hesitated and said: "I heard people say that those who fought and besieged the city seemed to pay attention to what it meant to besiege three buildings and deliberately open a way. When the defenders in the city saw that there was a way to survive, they would not have the desire to fight to the death. In fact, there were ambushes along the way, and when he was about to leave, his ambush soldiers came out and killed the city."
Wei Heng was surprised after hearing this: "You learned the art of war from storytellers? Have those storytellers ever led soldiers and fought in battles?"
When Xu Bai heard his doubts, he immediately said angrily: "The storytellers are all literate and knowledgeable, and the stories he tells are all written by predecessors in books, so they are certainly true! Let me tell you, I once knew a man who The storyteller named Sha Yuzhe is omniscient and omniscient. No matter what you ask him, he can tell you everything..."
Wei Heng didn't believe it and argued with him: "It's funny. Since this person is called a fool, he should know nothing. If you say he knows everything, aren't you bragging to my face?"
Shi Bao said angrily: "You two have the time to quarrel with the knife in your heart! Listen to me - no matter whether there is an ambush outside or not, he will definitely die in the city. We will wait and see if he is killed." It’s time to leave and go back to Bangyuan Cave to find the Holy Duke.”
After saying that, he shook the reins and ran out first. When he came out of the door and looked around, he couldn't help but scream in pain, not knowing whether he was up or down -
But outside the city, he saw four thousand soldiers forming a semicircular formation, but it seemed that they had built a wall outside. A general immediately raised his spear and wrapped his head in a white cloth. Shi Bao recognized it at a glance. He was fighting with Deng Yuanjue. The brave young player Yao Pingzhong!
Seeing this person, Shi Bao couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart: Shi just wanted to save a few more brothers and save a little more energy for the Yongle Dynasty. Why is God making things so difficult for me? One Wang De and one surnamed Yao are both rare masters in the world. Unexpectedly, I met them one after another.
Gritting his teeth, he made up his mind, and whispered to Xu Bai and Wei Heng: "The matter has come to this, we have to fight hard. I will entangle the general on the opposite side, and you two lead the brothers and rush out - how far can you run? , run as much as you can!”
Xu Bai shook his head and shouted: "Shi Shuai, I'm going to trap that kid, and you lead everyone to run away. Without your rescue, I would have died long ago. Why don't I give you my life now?"
Shi Bao said angrily: "I am the marshal of the five directions. Once the order is given, all you have to do is obey..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw a figure flying down from the top of the city with a rope, landing on the butt of Xu Bai's horse. Before anyone could scream, Xu Bai's head shot up into the sky with a flash of sword light.
Wei Heng shouted and stabbed with his spear. The man pulled Xu Bai's headless body to block the spear and sat on the saddle. Shi Bao raised his knife and slashed with a clang. He held it with one sword and held the horse. The war horse probably didn't realize that it had changed its owner, so it kicked off and ran away.
How could Shi Bao be willing to run away from him? He galloped in hot pursuit, and the man galloped out more than ten feet. He took the reins with him and turned around with a knife.
Shi Bao felt a chill in his heart and quickly stopped him - the opponent's sword was famously called the "returning saber". Many swordsmanship practitioners used this move, but they were all executed with a long sword. This person used a single sword to execute it. When returning to the saber, the strength, angle, and distance are all perfect. One can imagine the high level of his martial arts skills.
The man's sword missed, he reined in his horse and turned around, shouting: "Shi Bao, you are full of evil, today is the place of death, do you still want to escape?"
The two faced each other, and Shi Bao was shocked: "Ah! It's you!"
This person has bright eyebrows and a cold expression, but he is Yao Xing who was captured before!
This man was originally a junior high school student in Hangzhou. He killed his master when the Confederate army broke into the city. Later, when the army was defeated and evacuated, he wanted to take the opportunity to assassinate Fang Qifu for revenge. He was surrounded by Xu Bai and others, but it was Lao Cao who took action. Cooperating with Deng Yuanjue, he was captured alive and brought to Qingxi in a prison car. Shi Bao had also seen him on the road.
At this time, the city was in chaos. It was not surprising that this man took the opportunity to escape. However, he did not expect him to be so bold. Once he escaped, he immediately came to stab Xu Bai.
"Your life was deliberately kept by one of my brothers." Shi Bao stared at Yao Xing and gritted his teeth and said, "But now that the matter has come to this, Shi cannot keep you!"
He summoned up his power and slashed furiously with his sword. Yao Xing shouted: "I don't intend to keep you alive either!" He swung his sword to fight with him——
Yao Xing only had a single sword in his hand that he didn't know where. He immediately engaged in a fight. Using a single sword against a long sword would have been extremely disadvantageous. However, Yao Xing's martial arts skills were truly amazing. Secondly, Shi Bao was wounded and fighting for a long time, which was the end of his strength. Therefore, the two People were fighting so much that they came and went.
After the two fought for more than ten minutes, Yao Pingzhong became impatient and shouted: "Since there are righteous men helping us, we can kill these rebels. You all should open your eyes wide and don't give Fang La a chance to escape."
At this time, the city was in chaos, and all the generals were fighting on their own. Wang Zhen and Zhao Tan Gong did not see Fang La in the city. They had already informed Tong Guan of the news, but Wang De, Yao Pingzhong and others were still unknown.
Yao Pingzhong led his troops to press forward. Shi Bao felt desperate and shouted: "We, the heroes of Mingjiao, would rather die in a fierce battle than bend our knees and live like a dog officer! Wei Heng, lead your brothers and fight out."
Wei Heng's heart was agitated and he shouted: "There are few of them and they can't stop me. Anyone who wants to survive should follow me to kill them! Where are the old brothers in Tianmu Mountain? Follow Wei as the vanguard!"
There were 13,400 Southern troops, and only 4,000 officers and soldiers blocked the gate. If they were willing to fight to the death, they could indeed rush out many people. Wei Heng led a thousand men from his old army and went straight towards Yao Pingzhong. The rest of the people shouted in unison and rushed out in all directions.
Yao Pingzhong said angrily: "The mob wants to bully Yao's soldiers? Crossbow array!"
With a crash, the shield was pulled open, revealing more than a thousand powerful crossbows behind it. With a pull of the trigger, the arrows shot out like rain, instantly killing all the Confederate soldiers.
Yao Pingzhong laughed loudly and shouted: "The cavalry will follow me to kill the enemy!"
Pointing his spear, he led hundreds of cavalry out of the formation and strangled them together with Wei Heng's troops.
Yao Pingzhong took the lead and picked off more than 20 people to fight in front of Wei Heng. Wei Heng was frightened, but he yelled bravely and stabbed him with his gun.
Shi Bao was determined to kill Yao Xing, but when the tiger fell to Pingyang, how could he help himself?
Even though his heart was full of fighting spirit, his left arm was becoming increasingly unlucky. Yao Xing saw the opportunity, rode his horse to get in front of him, and slashed three times in a row. Shi Bao had no choice but to forcefully parry, and the three swords were easy to hold. , Yao Xing suddenly stretched out his left hand, grabbed the Wind Splitting Knife between his hands, and swung the knife down with his right hand again.
Shi Bao was slightly startled - he had been hailed as a prodigy since he was a child, and he had the chance to learn Huang Zhong's sword skills. He had fought with others all his life and was almost undefeated. He never thought that one day, someone would take his weapon away from him.
In an instant, the overwhelming sense of humiliation overwhelmed his reason. Without looking at the opponent's sword, he suddenly pulled off the saddle's meteor hammer with his already paralyzed left arm and threw it.
Yao Xing was about to kill the opponent when he suddenly saw a burst of yellow light. He subconsciously turned sideways and felt a pain on his shoulder. He flew out of the saddle. Fortunately, he was close. If he were one or two feet away, the hammer would have enough power. Enough to break a shoulder bone.
Yao Xing dodged the flying hammer, but the knife that originally hit Shi Bao's forehead only left a deep wound on Shi Bao's right chest. Shi Bao seemed unaware, his right hand reached out like lightning, and snatched his precious sword back into his hand.
Yao Xing landed, just turned a few somersaults to relieve his strength, grinned and moved his left arm. He felt that his shoulder was not serious, and ran towards Shi Bao again.
Shi Bao took back the sword, and when his anger subsided, he felt that the wound was bleeding like a fountain. He glared at Yao Xing and ran away.
Yao Xing spread his legs and chased after him, shouting: "Stop him, stop him, this is the marshal of the rebel bandits, don't let him run away."
Yao Pingzhong and Wei Heng fought three times, and Wei Heng's determination to die quickly faded. He used the fight with his old troops to cover his escape. Yao Pingzhong chased him all the way, and suddenly heard Yao Xing shouting. He turned around and laughed, and suddenly something moved in his heart: This Shi Bao is also a famous rebel. If I capture this guy and offer him as a prisoner to the officials, why don't the officials see me in person?
Having made up his mind, he immediately left Wei Heng and went after Shi Bao.
Shi Bao dragged the wind-splitting knife backwards, feeling his body getting colder, and hearing the rapid sound of horse hooves behind him, he secretly said: So I, Shi Bao, died here! Then he felt cruel in his heart: before he died, he would kill a few more of them!
With all his strength, he grabbed the horse's belly and crashed into the opponent's formation.
When the soldiers saw that he was covered in blood and was approaching menacingly, they quickly changed their formations. More than a dozen long spears were stretched out on the ground, just waiting for him to hit him. Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves sounded from behind the formation, as fast as a drumbeat.
Shi Bao was secretly using his strength, intending to jump out and kill a few more people when the war horses collided with the spear formation. Suddenly he saw three war horses in a row in the darkness, all connected with iron chains. After madly rushing into the opponent's formation, he suddenly The formation was dispersed.
Shi Bao was surprised and happy, and quickly reined in his horse, only to see a green-faced man charging out on horseback, with a golden sword in his hand, and the sword glowed. , not inferior to his own Wind Splitting Knife.
Immediately, another monk who was fatter and bigger than Baoguang Tathagata rushed out first, driving three war horses in a rampage, wielding a Zen staff that was thicker and longer than Baoguang Tathagata's, and hit the officers and soldiers like straw. The roars in his mouth were like thunder in the sky: "Hey! Which brother from the Ming Cult is in the formation? The 'Flower Monk' from Liangshan is here to help you fight!"
Immediately afterwards, another fierce general wielding a big ax came out, with a proud face, and laughed loudly: "Senior brother, how can you just tell me your name? Sanniang, come and tell me how to call the formation--"
Then he saw a fat lady, wearing heavy armor studded with spikes, wielding a mace and a big club, smashing the officers and soldiers everywhere, opening her mouth wide, and roaring like a tiger: "All the heroes of Liangshan are here! If you guys want to survive, you should clamp your buttholes and spread out!"
Her voice was high and bright, and the sound shocked the entire audience. The people who were killed laughed in unison, and their laughter was heroic and generous. A few people actually regarded these thousands of troops as nothing!
The end is:
The strong man is tired from the continuous fighting, and the bright fire of desire is extinguished and left in the south. The heroes of Liangshan shouted in unison: "Everyone can move the mountain!"
