Guiyi Fei Tang

Chapter 22: Blood on the Battlefield

"Kill that tall Han slave and you'll be rewarded with ten cattle and sheep, and a hundred strings of cash!"

On the horse road in East City, Xiao Jiezi saw how ferocious Liu Jilong was and issued an order to reward him without hesitation.

Under his military order, more than a hundred foreign soldiers rushed towards Liu Jilong and his men with great momentum.

Liu Jilian, who was panting, had just dealt with the last foreign soldier who was besieging them when he saw more than a hundred heavily armored foreign soldiers rushing towards them aggressively.

They were not the group of foreign soldiers wearing thin chain mail, but the elite troops stationed in Zhangye.

Without having time to think, Liu Jilong picked up the two blunt weapons on the ground, and a sense of heroism rose in his chest.

"Form up!!!"

Liu Jilong's voice was deafening, as if he was trying to expel all the air from his chest.

At this moment, it was not only the hundred or so heavily armored foreign soldiers rushing towards them, but also more than a dozen chain mail foreign soldiers rushing from another direction.

"How dare you, dogs and pigs, come here? Kill them!!"

"Guard the opening!"

Encouraged by Liu Jilong, the third group of soldiers who had just arrived on the battlefield also became heroic. Even the two horses that had been trembling before finally spat, picked up the longbows on the ground, and shot a few arrows at the foreign soldiers.

"Dog Hannu!"

"Kill the pig and the dog!"

Shouts of killing echoed along the horse path, and more than a hundred heavily armored foreign soldiers rushed towards the third group.

Liu Jilong glanced at the city below and saw Zhang Huaishen leading more than a hundred soldiers fighting and retreating, constantly approaching the cloud chariot behind him.

They still need time, but the third group has no time.

Liu Jilong looked behind him and saw tension written all over Ma Cheng and the others' faces. They didn't know when two people were missing from the team.

At this moment, he knew clearly that he could not wait for the more than one hundred heavily armored foreign soldiers to rush over. Once they rushed over, the third group would be overwhelmed in a breath with just a small number of people.

Thinking of this, he suddenly rushed out of the small Sancai formation and rushed towards the group of foreign soldiers alone.

"Boss!!"

Zhang Chang shouted at the top of his lungs, but all he got in return was Liu Jilong's words: "Guard the hole."

Liu Jilian wanted to slow down the momentum of the heavily armored foreign soldiers, but as it was his first time participating in a siege, he ultimately underestimated these foreign soldiers.

The foreign soldiers wearing armor were all carefully selected and trained with great expense of money and food.

They had already seen Liu Jilian's bravery from the city wall, so when Liu Jilian rushed towards them, several foreign soldiers in front knelt down and drew their bows, and together with several foreign soldiers behind them, they drew their bows and shot arrows at Liu Jilian.

Liu Jilong reacted quickly. He threw away a golden hammer, grabbed the body of a foreign soldier from the ground to use as a shield, and rushed forward with all his strength.

"put!"

Xiaojie'er was filled with anger, and more than ten foreign soldiers in front of him also released their bowstrings, and more than ten arrows shot towards Liu Jilong like locusts.

In the blink of an eye, the corpse used as a shield was pierced with arrows, and many arrows even pierced through the chain mail and almost injured Liu Jilong.

"Fangu!!"

Liu Jilong rushed to the front of the team and threw the corpse out violently, knocking down a group of people. He then rushed into the team stepping on the fallen foreign soldiers.

As the horse path was not wide, some foreign soldiers standing on the inside were caught off guard and were directly knocked down by Liu Jilian and fell into the city.

The height of nearly two meters made it difficult for these people to climb up for a long time, but Liu Jilong took advantage of his height and strength and caught the others off guard.

He swung his hammer and knocked a man off the top of the city wall, and he fell into the city. Before he could turn around, several foreign soldiers with blunt weapons attacked him.

He swung the hammer in his hand, hitting the two men, and grabbed one of them to block in front of him.

In the blink of an eye, four or five spears stabbed at him, and he just managed to block them in time with this man.

A living person weighing hundreds of pounds was like a toy in his hands. After blocking the spear, he relied on the person as a shield and rushed into the crowd with his legs.

Because of his great strength, four or five foreign soldiers who were not steady on their feet were pushed out of the horse path and fell into the city.

But his actions put him in deep siege.

In the blink of an eye, he was hit several times by the weapons in the hands of the foreign soldiers, but he seemed to be unaware of the pain. He grabbed two foreign soldiers to block in front of him and used the women's wall behind him to attract the foreign soldiers' firepower.

The shouting and screaming filled his ears, his lungs felt like they were burning, and his breathing became unusually heavy.

Faced with such a situation, even Liu Jilong couldn't help but have the thought of "I have to explain this matter today."

"Boss!!"

Just as the thought came to mind, the voices of Zhang Chang, Ma Cheng, Geng Ming and others rang out.

At the same time, there were sounds of collision. Many foreign soldiers were knocked back by the third group holding shields, and Liu Jilong was able to catch his breath.

He knelt on one knee on the ground, breathing heavily, while Zhang Chang and his men continued to use their shields to squeeze the enemy in front of them to make room for Liu Jilong.

"Boss!"

Li Ji tried to help Liu Jilong up, but Liu Jilong had been fighting for a long time and was exhausted and didn't want to move at all.

He gasped and looked towards the opening in the parapet, only to see a steady stream of Shazhou soldiers climbing up the horse path, repelling the foreign soldiers from the other direction while rushing towards this place.

"Zhang Chang!!"

Suddenly, there was a cry of surprise from the front. Liu Jilong looked subconsciously and saw that Zhang Chang was shot by an arrow on the armor plate of the helmet.

The arrow seemed to have penetrated the armor and shot Zhang Chang in the face. Geng Ming helped him back off, but Zhang Chang was still mad with killing, waving his weapon and cursing.

"You pig-dog bandits, Geng Erlang, let me go. I want to kill them!!"

Zhang Chang's curses were unclear and he spat out blood, obviously because he was shot in the cheek.

"Send him down!"

Liu Jilong took a deep breath and signaled Li Ji and Geng Ming to send him away.

Zhang Chang looked at Liu Jilong in dissatisfaction, his bloodstained face revealing unwillingness.

Liu Jilong looked at his injuries and could not help cursing, "If the arrow had not been caught by the armor, you would have died by now. Get out!"

"But Jiao Da and Mao Zhong are all dead. I want to avenge them!"

After being scolded by Liu Jilong, Zhang Chang could no longer hold back his tears and burst into tears out of grievance.

His words made Liu Jilong feel a chill in his heart, and he subconsciously looked forward.

Among the corpses lying all over the ground, two bodies with Shazhou leather belts tied around their waists stood out.

Their faces were covered in blood and flesh and were unrecognizable.

If Zhang Chang had not cried, Liu Jilong might not have noticed that his third group had lost two more brothers.

The death of a rabbit makes the fox mourn. At this moment, he felt a lump in his throat. He grabbed the spear on the ground and stood up.

"You bastard pigs and dogs, you can't kill them!!"

Liu Jilong suddenly gained a little extra strength and rushed towards the foreign soldiers with red eyes.

"Boss, you are injured and can't go!!"

Li Ji and Geng Ming hugged Liu Jilong to stop him from fighting on the front line, but they were pushed away by the strong Liu Jilong.

He glared at the two of them: "Take good care of Zhang Chang!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed towards the team in front.

At this moment, Zhang Huaishen and his men had already led their troops to replace Ma Cheng and his men. More than a dozen Shazhou soldiers rushed towards the city gate tower against more than a hundred foreign soldiers.

The foreign soldiers kept retreating, and no matter how the little guy kept shouting, they could not stop the decline.

Liu Jilong squeezed in with a spear in hand. Zhang Huaishen saw this and couldn't help but yelled, "Liu Jilong, get out of here!"

"I want to avenge my brother!"

"Damn it, I told you to get out of here!"

Liu Jilong was so angry that he tried to rush forward, but Zhang Huaishen stopped him fiercely.

"This is a battlefield, where the head is tied to the waist. You should know this when you were a Tangqi!"

"Damn it! Get out of here..."

Zhang Huaishen tried to scold him to wake him up, but when he saw a large number of foreign soldiers rushing in from the rear, his face darkened.

At this moment, Liu Jilong tried to rush forward, but was caught by Zhang Huaishen.

"Turn your head around and see what's behind you!"

Liu Jilian turned around and saw a Tibetan general in gorgeous armor leading more than a hundred heavily armored Tibetan soldiers charging in the other direction, forcing the Shazhou soldiers in that direction to retreat step by step.

Behind the Shazhou soldiers were Ma Cheng and others who had retreated with injuries.

"Go back and protect your brothers!"

Zhang Huaishen pushed Liu Jilong away, and after all this nonsense, Liu Jilong became much more sober.

He knew that he had been impulsive, so he gritted his teeth and rushed back with his spear in hand.

Looking at his back, Zhang Huaishen breathed a sigh of relief and his eyes also looked towards the city gate tower that was nearby.

Only by taking down the gate tower can we take down the city gate and determine the outcome.

"The soldiers of the 12th Regiment will guard the rear!"

"Huai Shen is not allowed!"

Zhang Huaishen had just given the order when Zhang Huairong pretended to stop him.

"The key now is to capture the city gate tower. The foreign soldiers in the rear can be left to the brothers guarding the rear!"

"Ridiculous!" Zhang Huaishen cursed, "How can they stop the elite troops led by Dazalubu with only a dozen of them?"

"Huai Shen!" Zhang Huairong was very disappointed with his friend. In his opinion, it was worth it to exchange the lives of the dozen people at the rear for the quick capture of the city gate tower.

"The soldiers of East City respect me as the leader!" Zhang Huaishen glared at his cousin.

Zhang Huairong angrily swung his sword to chop at the corpses of several foreign soldiers, but in the end, he still rushed to the rear with less than fifty soldiers from the 12th Regiment.

Watching them leave, the foreign soldiers in the direction of the city gate tower also got a chance to catch their breath, and even showed signs of pushing back.

Seeing this, Zhang Huaishen threw away the long sword in his hand, picked up two blunt weapons on the ground, and rushed to the front line with a roar.

"Take down the tower!!"
