A knife in love

Chapter 177

I saw more than a thousand rebels carrying ladders and pushing carts straight to the city gate.The archers of the defenders on the city were suppressed by the rebels so that they could not lift their heads, and were helpless against the approaching rebels.Although the garrison kept urging them, more than a dozen archers tried to get up from the crenel to shoot arrows, but as soon as they showed their heads, they were all shot and killed by the rebels.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Qiufeng rushed forward from behind the crenel where he was hiding, picked up the bow and arrow from a shot dead archer, aimed at a leader who was directing the archers of the rebel army to shoot more than a hundred steps away, and shot. past.

His arrow was extremely powerful, even though it was in the battlefield where thousands of people were shouting and fighting, the sound of the feathered arrow piercing the air was still heard clearly.It's just that Li Qiufeng has never practiced archery after all, this arrow was ruthless and fast, but its accuracy was much worse. It flew over two feet above the leader's head, scaring the leader so much that he shrank his neck and repeatedly ordered the soldiers around him to shoot. The soldiers put out the torches so as not to be spotted by the defenders on the city.

The leader was so distracted that the rebel archers stopped shooting arrows towards the city.Liu Yong and Xu Chenghe also rushed to the crenel, picked up their bows and arrows and shot at the rebel archers.Seeing the heads of the Huashan and Qingcheng factions bent their bows and set up arrows to shoot at the rebels, some martial arts masters also picked up bows and arrows from the crenel and shot at the rebel archers.

Almost all of these heroes are proficient in hidden weapons, but they are far behind when it comes to bow and arrow skills.However, these people are people with profound inner strength, although the feather arrows they shoot are not as accurate, they shoot hard and far.These more than a hundred people shot arrows together, firing random arrows. The crossbowmen of the rebel army thought that the defenders' bows and arrows could not shoot too far, so they were completely unprepared, and five or sixty people were shot dead immediately. He was hit by several arrows, although he was not killed, he was seriously injured and fell to the ground unable to command.The archers of the rebel army lost their command, and they were like chickens without their heads for a while, and they didn't care about shooting arrows on the city.

Seeing that the rebels stopped shooting arrows, the garrison immediately ordered the defenders to shoot arrows at the rebels approaching the city gate, and at the same time push the stones and logs down the city.At this time, the rebel army was less than twenty steps away from the city gate, and feather arrows from the city were shot down like raindrops. The distance was so close, and rocks and logs were constantly falling from the city. The rebel soldiers on the ladder were all shot to death immediately, and the rebel soldiers pushing the two crashed cars were also knocked over by the rolling logs.The remaining rebels were blocked by the feather arrows, so they had to erect shields to cover them, and couldn't move forward for a while.

At this time, all the tyrants in the city had flocked to the crenel, some fired locust stones and sleeve arrows, and some raised stones and threw them down at the rebels.These people are proficient in hidden weapons, and the distance is so close, it is time to show their talents.In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred rebels died under the hidden weapons of the group.

At this moment, only the sound of gold ringing came from the rebel camp, and the rebels immediately retreated.It's just that although the rebels retreated, there was no chaos at all.The sergeant was still facing the city wall, and the soldiers in the rear erected their shields to block the arrows from the city and protect the retreating soldiers.Looking from the city wall, I could see the ranks of the rebels moving slowly backwards, slowly disappearing into the darkness.

The guarding soldiers and the group of heroes raised their arms and shouted, and the sound shook the whole field for a while.

Several soldiers helped the garrison down, and he continued to order, ordering everyone to carry the wounded soldiers and transport the remains of the dead soldiers.Li Qiufeng, Liu Yong and others rushed forward one after another, persuading the guards to go down to the city for treatment.The garrison shook his head and said: "Although the enemy army is temporarily retreating, the loss is only 400-[-] people, and the formation is not in disorder when retreating. Sang Liangtian is proficient in the art of war, and his subordinates are all elite soldiers. We can't be sloppy at all. If it wasn't just now With the help of all heroes, the rebels have already attacked the city, maybe the city has already been breached by the rebels at this time. I was only hit by two arrows, and the injuries are not serious, so I can just bandage the city."

Everyone persuaded him for a while, but the guard just shook his head and refused, and finally sat under the archery tower, and asked people to draw arrows for him to heal his wounds.At this time, a messenger came to report that although there were rebels pretending to attack the three city gates in the west, north and south, they only shot a few arrows in vain, and did not send troops to attack the city.The guards strictly ordered the guards at the city gates not to relax, and they sat under the archery tower with their eyes closed and rested.

Li Qiufeng looked at the hundreds of corpses left by the rebels under the city, couldn't help sighing, and said to Liu Yong: "These are soldiers from the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention less than half of the pension, I am afraid that the family members will be convicted."

Liu Yong's expression was gloomy, and he was silent for a moment before he said: "If Yong'an City is destroyed, there are hundreds of soldiers in the city, and three or four hundred families in the city, I'm afraid none of them can leave alive. Although there are often fights in our martial arts, but Never before has it been so brutal and bloody."

Li Qiufeng patted the crenel, and said in a deep voice: "I originally wanted to leave Yong'an City with everyone as soon as possible, but if this continues, more and more people will die, and if Liu Shengzongyan succeeds, I'm afraid we Daming has nothing left behind. I’m going to find Liu Kang and Yang Tinghe to argue, if they don’t stop, I’ll take the heads of the two old guys and give them to Sang Liangtian to force him to retreat.”

Liu Yongdao: "Since Liu Shengzong Yan and Yang Zhenzhong are both in Gu's old shop, if Li Shaoxia goes alone, I'm afraid he can't beat four hands with two fists. Although Liu's martial arts is low, he can help Li Shaoxia cover it."

Murong Danyan saw the scene of the two sides fighting just now, he was frightened and hid behind the archery tower.Seeing that Li Qiufeng was about to go back to his old shop, he said to Liu Yong, "Mr. Liu, I will go back with Brother Li. You are indispensable in this city."

Li Qiufeng said: "Mr. Liu should stay in the city, these friends from the Jianghu still rely on Mr. Liu's command." Liu Yong thought for a while, and had to say to Li Qiufeng: "In that case, young man Li, let's go back quickly."

Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan said goodbye to Liu Yong, and hurried back to their old shop.At this time, the city already knew the news that the rebel attack had been repulsed, and the patrolling soldiers all had joy on their faces.Murong Danyan whispered to Li Qiufeng: "Brother Li, you were in the city just now, have you ever been afraid?"

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid." Li Qiufeng said as he walked, "This is different from the vendetta in the Jianghu. Thousands of people fight together. No matter how high your martial arts are, it is extremely difficult to protect yourself. As a human being, there is no one who is not afraid of death." ? What's more..."

Speaking of this, Li Qiufeng glanced at Murong Danyan, but did not continue.

Murong Danyan said: "Brother Li, are you afraid that I will be killed by the rebels?"

Li Qiufeng said: "As long as Li is not dead, no one else can hurt you!"

Murong Danyan's heart was pounding, he couldn't hear anything in an instant, his heart was filled with joy, his body was light, and he only hoped that this road would never come to an end.

It's just that no matter how long the road is, it will eventually end, and the two finally arrived at the old Gu's shop.

At this time, the thirty brocade-clothed guards who were subdued by Murong Danqing had disappeared, and the bodies of the two servants in green clothes who died at the door had also disappeared.Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan's hearts were beating wildly, and they couldn't help but looked at each other.Murong Danyan said tremblingly: "My brother, he, will he..."

Before she finished speaking, two lines of tears had already flowed down.

Li Qiufeng held the knife in his right hand, held Murong Danyan's right hand in his left hand, and said in a low voice: "Brother Murong is very skilled in martial arts, and also very wise, Miss Murong, don't worry too much."

Although Li Qiufeng comforted Murong Danyan, he still regretted it in his heart.Knowing that Yang Zhenzhong's martial arts are superb, and Liu Shengzongyan's swordsmanship is weird, his martial arts may not be inferior to Yang Zhenzhong's, but let Murong Danqing stay here alone to deal with these two masters.Only blame myself for worrying about the city breaking and putting Murong Danqing in danger.If Murong Danqing made a mistake, he would die forever.

He thought for a moment, nodded to Murong Danyan, held the handle of the knife with his right hand, and walked into the hall.

The hall was brightly lit, and there was a person sitting on the grand teacher's chair in the middle, holding a cup of tea, looking at the two with a smile.

Murong Danyan yelled happily, grabbed the man and hugged him, sobbing and said: "You, you scared me to death..."

That person is Murong Danqing.He patted Murong Danyan on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You're already a big girl, and you're still crying like this, aren't you ashamed!"

Li Qiufeng said: "Brother Murong, where have all the people in this house gone?"

Murong Danqing stood up, put the bamboo hat on the table on Murong Dan's inkstone head, made a face at her, turned to Li Qiufeng and said: "After you leave, I will guard outside this shop and wait The leader of Jinyiwei and the Fusang man came out. Later, the leader of Jinyiwei came out, had a few polite words with me, and took away the twenty or thirty Jinyiwei. The Fusang man took the opportunity to slip away. The two old men I went with Jin Yiwei, I know you will definitely come back, so I am waiting for you here. Don’t tell me, this tea is really good tea. Haha, haha.”
