A knife in love

Chapter 191

After Li Qiufeng shot an arrow with all his strength, he felt unbearable pain in his left arm and knew that the wound had burst open again.It's just that at this critical juncture, these things can't be taken care of.

Suddenly someone beside me said in a trembling voice: "Brother Li, your arm..."

Li Qiufeng turned his head to look, but saw Murong Danyan running to his side at some point, looking at his left arm with a frightened expression on his face.Li Qiufeng saw that his left shoulder was stained red with blood, and his whole arm was so painful that he couldn't lift it up.Just afraid that Murong Danyan would be worried, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's just a little blood, it's okay. Miss Murong, it's too dangerous here, you'd better go down to the city."

At this time, Liu Yong had already grabbed the crenel, and loudly ordered the heroes of the rivers and lakes to shoot arrows at the Tazi soldiers.At this time, the Tartar cavalry under the city were attacked by the defenders with bows and arrows, stones and logs, and their positions were already loose.Hundreds of martial arts masters bent their bows and shot arrows towards the city, killing [-] or [-] Tartar soldiers immediately.At this time, Liu Yong had also discovered that Shaobu who was hiding behind the Tartar team was a general of the enemy army, so he and a dozen or so leaders of various sects shot straight at Shaobu with bows and arrows.

The feathered arrows shot by these dozens of masters were quick and quick, and they all shot towards Shaobu's vital points. Although the accuracy was poor, among the dozen or so feathered arrows, two or three reached Shaobu's chest.Several Tazi soldiers hurriedly used their shields to cover them, but these feathered arrows shot through the shields, killing one person and injuring two others.

Shaobu didn't expect that the archer's arms were so strong, his face immediately changed color.He also saw that more than a thousand Tartar cavalry gathered at the base of the city were smashed by the defenders on the city with bows and arrows and stones and rolling logs. They could only defend with shields and were unable to attack the city. A sergeant nearby raised his horn and blew it.

As soon as the horn sounded, the Tartar soldiers under the city raised their shields and retreated slowly.The Tazi soldiers in the back team kept firing feather arrows to cover the retreat of the Tazi soldiers in the front team. After the Tarzi soldiers in the front team withdrew to the position of the rear team, they stood still and shot arrows towards the city with bows and arrows , the rear team retreated under the cover of the front team, stopped after fifty steps, turned around and shot arrows at the top of the city, and the army horses of the front team that stayed in place retreated back.The two teams of men and horses covered each other, and slowly retreated out of the range of the defenders' feather arrows on the city, and then regrouped and retreated to the camp.

Seeing the retreat of the Tazi soldiers, the defenders of the city couldn't help cheering in unison.The garrison commanded the soldiers to rescue the wounded and transport the remains of the fallen soldiers.He also stripped off the armor of the Tartar soldiers who died on the city, and threw the corpses into the city.

In this battle, more than 300 defenders were killed, [-] Tartar soldiers were also killed, and more than a dozen of the heroes of the rivers and lakes died under the bows and arrows of the Tartar soldiers.

Liu Yong and the defenders stood at the top of the city, watching the Tartar soldiers retreat, but the formation was not disordered at all, and slowly returned to the camp like a huge black stone slab.Liu Yong sighed: "I thought our plan was flawless, but I didn't expect it to be useless when we actually got into battle."

The guard nodded and said: "These Tartar soldiers are extremely fierce, but the disadvantage is that they are all cavalry. When Chengzu set up the Duoyan Sanwei, he destroyed all their siege equipment, especially the powerful 'Huihui Cannon'. all the Tatar craftsmen who knew how to manufacture were killed. If not for this, these Tatar soldiers had the help of these siege equipment, not to mention our small Yong'an City, which is a heavily guarded capital, and it would take only a few days. It will fall within."

Liu Yong looked worried, and said: "If the Tartars come to attack the city again tomorrow, how can we resist?"

The guard said: "Mr. Liu, don't worry. Today the Tazi soldiers gained the upper hand with a surprise attack, but it also exposed their weakness of not being good at attacking the city. If we come to attack the city tomorrow, we don't wait for them to come into range, we will shoot ten thousand arrows at once. Let's see how they can get closer to the city wall? As long as these horse teams are stopped by bows and arrows, they are useless."

He paused here for a moment, and then continued: "Fortunately, the Tatar soldiers only attacked the east city. If they used their horses to attack the four gates continuously, we would be exhausted, and the situation might not be good. Sang Liangtian's move It's so strange, could it be that he is afraid of Duoyan Sanwei, and wants to weaken the power of the Tartar soldiers first, and then take Yong'an City?"

Although Liu Yong knew that Sang Liangtian had made up his mind to submit to the imperial court, it was inconvenient to tell the guard at this time, so he could only say: "Perhaps Sang Liangtian thought that he had a large number of people, so he didn't pay attention to the small Yong'an City."

The garrison shook his head and said: "Sang Liangtian is a very good man. He followed the late emperor to go out of the Great Wall many times. He is a rare general on horseback in this dynasty. With his resourcefulness, how could he make such a bad plan? It's really embarrassing to think about it." untie."

While the two were talking, Murong Danyan had already helped Li Qiufeng into the archery tower.At this moment, dozens of wounded soldiers were already sitting in the archery building, most of them were wounded by arrows, they could only hear the continuous screaming and groaning.Five or six doctors in the army were healing the wounded soldiers, sweating profusely.Some wounded soldiers were in severe pain, and they cursed at these doctors, and some even punched them.

Murong Danyan couldn't help frowning when he saw how dirty these people were scolding.Li Qiufeng knew that she was a daughter-in-law, and couldn't stand these rude people, so he forced himself out of the watchtower.I bumped into Xiao Zhanpeng head-on, and I saw him say excitedly: "Brother Li, I killed five Tartars, haha."

Li Qiufeng said with a strong smile: "Brother Xiao is really good at skills, I admire, admire."

Murong Danyan was worried about Li Qiufeng's injury, and when he saw Xiao Zhanpeng's face beaming with joy, dancing and dancing about his feat of killing the enemy, he felt annoyed, glared at Xiao Zhanpeng and said: "Xiao Laowu, haven't you seen that Brother Li's injury has recurred? You have to brag and go far away for me as soon as possible, don't get in the way here!"

Only then did Xiao Zhanpeng realize that Li Qiufeng's face was pale, and the clothes on his left shoulder were already soaked in blood, and he immediately felt embarrassed.He wanted to go forward to wrap Li Qiufeng's wound, but was pushed aside by Murong Danyan.At this time Liu Yong came over, seeing Li Qiufeng's appearance, he couldn't help but tremble, he hurriedly helped him sit on the next step, and asked the Huashan disciple to go to the doctor in the archery tower to ask for a pot of medicinal wine to wash Li Qiufeng's wounds , reapplied the wound medicine, bandaged the wound carefully, and then said to Li Qiufeng seriously: "Li Shaoxia, the Tazi soldiers have retreated now, and they will not attack the city again today. You should go to the city and find a place to rest. Get your hands on someone, or this arm is in danger!"

Li Qiufeng knew that his injuries were serious, and seeing that nothing would happen in the city for the time being, he bid farewell to Liu Yong, and was supported by Murong Danyan to walk down the tower along the horse path.Xiao Zhanpeng stayed in the city, and said to Li Qiufeng: "Brother Li, go back and have a good rest, don't worry about here, I'm still in this city!"

While supporting Li Qiufeng downstairs, Murong Danyan said in a low voice: "This Xiao Lao Wu, there is no limit to bragging."

Li Qiufeng said: "Young Xia Xiao has killed a lot of Tartar soldiers today, if everyone is like him, then our Ming Dynasty will be regarded as a high profile."

Murong Danyan brought Li Qiufeng to the house where Ma Dongqing lived.This house is only a hundred steps away from the east city gate, and it was originally the house of a big silk merchant in Yong'an City.Just before the rebel army besieged the city, the family of the wealthy family surnamed Zhou had already received news.Master Zhou was an extremely selfish person. He felt that the female relatives were walking slowly, and he was afraid of delaying his escape, so he left his mother, the third wife, and the maids behind him, and took his son and several servants on horseback. Fleeing with gold, silver and jewels.These female relatives had no choice but to hide at home with two old servants, and only chanted Amitabha every day, praying to Guanyin Bodhisattva to bless the whole family.

After Murong Danyan sent Ma Dongqing to the house, the Zhou family settled Ma Dongqing in the west wing.The old lady of the Zhou family is a kind person, she said that in times of war and chaos, everyone should take care of each other, and told the family members not to treat guests slowly.At this time, Murong Danyan helped Li Qiufeng into the house, and first went to see Mrs. Zhou.Mrs. Zhou heard that Li Qiufeng was injured because of fighting against the enemy, so she hurriedly arranged a vacant room for Li Qiufeng to rest. She kept chanting Buddha's name and said to Li Qiufeng, "It turns out that your guest is a soldier who fought against the Tartar soldiers. If we treat him slowly If you do it, you will be punished by God. If you hadn’t defended the city with all your might, and the Tartar soldiers invaded the city, we women and priests would still hang ourselves and jump into the well?”

After Li Qiufeng applied the wound medicine, the pain subsided slightly, but he bled profusely and his body was very weak.After Mrs. Zhou went out, Murong Danyan helped him to lie on the bed.He only felt his head was confused for a while, although he said a few more words with Murong Danyan, he didn't know what he was talking about at all, after a while, he fell into a drowsy sleep.
