Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there is bloodshed.
Liu Yi was ready for a fight from the moment he stepped out of Lingyuan City, but he didn't expect that disaster would come so quickly.
The enemy's offensive did not stop because of Liu Yi's guilt and thinking.
After the two waves of fire rain, the line of fire on the mountain to the north slowly sank, and there was a loud shout of killing in the forest to the south. It seemed that the tiger-killing warriors hiding in the forest had already made contact with the invading enemy.
Yang Liu, who was guarding Liu Yi, frowned and asked, "Miss Qiao, didn't the enemy attack the enemy in advance?"
Yang Liu's naked doubts made Qiao Miaoqing blush, and she immediately defended, "Dad only sent fifteen disciples of the Hu-Kang Gang. Before leaving, Liu Yi left some men to explore around Lingyuan City and accompany him. There were only a few disciples from the Huhu Gang who came, so they only dared to walk within two miles. Just now, the enemy's bows and arrows were drawn two miles away. It is really not easy for my disciples to detect it immediately!"
After hearing this, Yang Liu nodded secretly, and immediately said, "The enemy is attacking from the north and south, and is several times larger than me. According to my wishes, we should break out from the east and west, and maybe we can successfully retreat."
Wang Dali had a different view. While actively commanding the soldiers to defend, he said, "The enemy is several times larger than me, and the offensive is so strong. He must have made careful preparations. If we rush to break out of the encirclement, we will only be divided by the enemy. Defeat them one by one."
Yang Liu immediately asked, "What countermeasures does Mr. Wang have?"
Wang Dali quickly replied, "Gather your troops together, form a formation and go up the mountain, stay high and retreat to stop them!"
Yang Liu immediately retorted, "Mr. Wang, Miao Zai! The mountain is full of enemy thieves. How easy is it to get up the mountain? Even if it costs people's lives to reach the top of the mountain and our army is isolated and helpless, how can we break the situation? We won't be attacked by the enemy thieves with strong bows and crossbows. Attack and kill here."
The two were engaged in a verbal quarrel, refusing to give in to each other. Huangfu Lu, Ying Cheng and Qiao Miaoqing also participated.
Liu Yi was still calm. When he saw the enemy approaching, he stopped everyone's discussion. After looking south and north, he immediately made a decision and said to Yang Liu, "Uncle, please lead the remaining escorts to break out and go up the mountain as the front army. Occupy the terrain; Brother Wang, lead people to collect the wounded, bring food, and follow closely; Miaoqing, you and Ying Chengnan go to support, fight and retreat, and try to bring Brother Kuihu back intact."
Finally, Liu Yi specifically warned, "Pay attention to safety."
It seems that Liu Yi chose Wang Dali's strategy of defending the mountain.
Yang Liu was not displeased because Liu Yi did not choose his strategy. None of them were careless people, so the four of them immediately took the order and left. Liu Yi was full of momentum and his voice was bright. He picked up two swords from the ground and handed one to Huang Fulu, who was Huang Qianhei and Yintang Khan. He said heroically, "Brothers, we must fight for our lives. Let's go and fight together!" "
Huangfu Lu swallowed a sip of saliva, plucked up his courage, took the long sword from Liu Yi's hand, and shouted in a trembling voice, "Grandma, let's fight!"
The enemy on the mountain was like a fiery snake, baring its fangs and claws and rushing towards Liu Yi and others, like the rivers and seas poured down by God.
In contrast, the dozen or so bodyguards with willows as the tips were like inconspicuous little thorns, struggling to pierce into the belly of the fire snake, moving forward indomitably.
But when I saw Yangliu leading people up the mountain, the enemies on the mountain were still in a line, and they seemed to be trying to surround them and attack them.
Fighting in close combat, the thieves took advantage of their condescending position to surround him on all sides. Several screams were immediately heard from the twenty young bodyguards following Yang Liu.
Facing the slowly surrounding enemy thieves, Yangliu did not retreat but advanced. Relying on his realm and sword skills, he ran rampant, left and right, and used his deadly hands. In an instant, blood and flesh were flying everywhere, and he slowly advanced towards the top of the mountain. The bodyguard who followed him lost such momentum and was surrounded and killed by several times the enemy. He could not keep up with Yang Liu's pace and gradually showed signs of decline.
At the critical moment, Wang Dali protected Liu Yi, and a group of county soldiers came forward with shields and swords. They temporarily suppressed the position, but could not go further, so they had to cooperate with each other, fight and defend.
The war became anxious, but anxiety meant the defeat of Liu Yi's side.
When he first left Lingyuan, Liu Yi wanted all the accompanying guards to wear gray coats and black boots to show his low-key humility, and he was no exception. It was this unintentional move that perfectly protected Liu Yi today. In other words, in Yanshan, where the moon is dark and no one knows each other, if you want to kill Liu Yi, you must annihilate everyone including Liu Yi.
Torches from all directions gradually completed the encirclement of Liu Yi's small group. Perhaps in the eyes of the enemy and thieves, Liu Yi and others were already trapped animals and were nothing to worry about.
A clever woman cannot make a meal without rice. If there is no miracle, this group of people may not be able to return to Lingyuan!
...
Knowing the pines and cypresses in the cold years, it is difficult to show true love together.
Yanshan is a dangerous beacon fire, and the mountains lead to high altitudes.
At the critical moment, a strong and arrogant shout came from behind Liu Yi and others, "You are a cowardless person who bullies the minority with more, why don't you die quickly!"
Liu Yi looked around and saw Qiao Miaoqing stepping on a low tree, walking gracefully like a fairy. The bamboo flute hanging on her waist had already swung out three short swords. The sword was thrown out, causing a bunch of blood flowers to fly into the sky, and the enemies behind Yangliu suddenly fell down.
The abilities of middle-level warriors are so terrifying!
Qiao Miaoqing's bamboo sword flew straight into the air and hit Yang Liu's right hand. Qiao Miaoqing yelled, "Brother Yang." Yang Liu immediately understood. He turned back and held the sword across the sword. With the back of the sword facing the tip of the sword, there was a 'ding' sound. The force of the bamboo sword rebounded to the point of Yang Liu again. Miaoqing's jade hands.
This little girl held a bamboo sword in her hand and ran towards crowded places. Everywhere she passed was covered in blood. No thief could pass through the two moves of her sword. In just a moment, the fire snake was chopped into pieces. Four or five cuts, a bloody road to the top of the mountain was opened, and the stalemate began.
Seeing that Qiao Miaoqing was invincible and killing everyone, Liu Yi looked at the sword in his hand and sighed, "Swords are much easier to use than books!"
At the foot of the mountain, under the leadership of Ying Cheng, the well-trained tiger warriors fought and retreated, and there were also casualties. As time went by, they gradually lost their strength and retreated faster. The pressure of the enemy once again Become stronger.
Upon seeing this, Liu Yi responded urgently, "Ying Cheng, don't be reluctant to fight, retreat quickly."
While he was shouting, Liu Yi suddenly felt the wind whistling beside him. He took a closer look and saw a tall and well-dressed man holding a machete and slashing at Liu Yi's head. Liu Yi couldn't dodge in time. When the hatred of death was about to disappear, Wang Dali, who had always been guarding Liu Yi, suddenly took action, holding an ax against the knife, and the two began to wrestle.
Liu Yi's face turned pale, and with a fierce heart, he quickly bypassed Wang Dali and pierced the man's throat with his sword. He drew back the sword and blood spurted out from the man in the strong suit, splashing all over Liu Yi's body.
Liu Yi, who was killing someone for the first time, had an empty mind and dull eyes. Seeing this, Huangfu Lu hurriedly stepped forward and shook Liu Yi's body vigorously to wake him up. He shouted, "Brother, if you don't kill him tonight, he will die." It’s you. Big brother has great ambitions and should aim at the world. There is no need to stick to this. Resurrection as soon as possible, go up the mountain together, and lead the brothers out of the predicament!"
"Whenever you fight with the enemy, whether in the mountains and forests or on the flat land, you must stay on high ground, rely on the situation, adapt to the thrusts, rush and rush, and win by fighting. The principle of 'In battles in mountains and hills, do not rely on heights' , has been around since ancient times." Liu Yi stirred, his mind returned, he held his trembling hand, and put aside his previous thinking again. After confirming that it was correct, he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Today, the enemy's situation is We don’t know, so we need to take advantage of the location, stabilize our position, and then plan a good strategy. Let’s go up the mountain!”
Qiao Miaoqing, the God of Killing, was leading the charge, and there were no obstacles on the way up the mountain. As Liu Yi's party continued to move up the mountain, the two parties changed positions. The enemies who initially came down from the mountain to intercept them all gathered with the enemy bandits at the bottom. Chase together at the foot of the mountain.
Under Liu Yi's arrangement, the remaining forty people reorganized their formations. Qiao Miaoqing in the monument-pushing realm and Wang Dali in the armor-removing realm led all those who could fight to cut off the rear, while Ying Cheng led the wounded soldiers who could barely move, and quickly Going up the mountain to hold up the defense, Liu Yi and Huangfu Lu, holding their straps on their backs, struggled to keep up, not wanting to leave behind a gasping robe.
After tea time, more than 30 people finally arrived at the top of the mountain one after another. Qiao Miaoqing, who finally climbed to the top, entered a long and narrow camp made of stones and tree trunks. Liu Yi gave an order, and everyone moved up and down in unison. In an instant, rocks began to fall. , pounced on the enemies down the mountain, and the thieves who rushed in front were immediately bloody and bloody. None of the remaining enemies at the foot of the mountain didn't want to be human targets, so they all stopped moving forward, and the scene became a stalemate for a while.
For Liu Yi and his entourage who are in trouble, what they need most at this time is time. Seeing that the enemy was hesitant at the foot of the mountain, Liu Yi hurriedly ordered a group of three to quickly raise the trenches, stock up on throwing rocks and rolling wood, make simple defensive horses, and reserve fire in preparation for a fire attack.
Soldiers from various factions, under the threat of death, began to work together for the first time. The originally weak trenches were quickly reinforced and gradually became stronger.
During the march and the battle, everyone had their own division of labor. Liu Yi took a breather to calm down, carefully stuck out his head, roughly surveyed the terrain, and called Wang Dali, Qiao Miaoqing and others together to discuss countermeasures.
Wang Dali was so naive that he said to Liu Yi, "Sir, you are the backbone of Pingtian this time. I listen to you. I will do whatever you say!"
Liu Yi glanced at Qiao Miaoqing and Yang Liu, and they both expressed their obedience to Liu Yi's words.
Liu Yi felt reassured and said quickly, "The enemy's numbers are unknown, their origin is unknown, and their strength is unpredictable. I just ordered to explore the terrain. This is the place of the Fourth Battle. Although you can garrison with temporary danger, you must not stay for a long time. If you stay for a long time, it will cause trouble." Danger. There is a saying in the art of war that 'what is virtual is real, and what is real is virtual'. My idea is to light a big torch on the top of the mountain, make a fuss, take advantage of the enemy's hesitation, break it into pieces, escape quickly north, disguise yourself, and arrive in the west of Lingyuan City. Meet in the suburbs.”
Everyone nodded in agreement without any hesitation.
Liu Yi nodded and ordered, "I order Miaoqing to lead the brothers from the Huhu Gang, Huangfu Lu and the wounded to go ahead. After a cup of tea, Brother Wang, uncle and Yingcheng will lead the bodyguards and county soldiers before proceeding. I will stay." Light a fire and raise a flag to attract enemy soldiers."
After finishing speaking, Liu Yi said in a low voice, "Remember, don't light a fire along the way, try not to leave any traces, and try your best to shuttle through the dense forest without hesitation. Don't stop and rest until you see the villages and counties."
As soon as these words came out, everyone sighed that Liu Yi was too old to seek the country.
However, when everyone came to their senses, they all said something inappropriate.
Some people died, but not completely...
