Chapter 357 The helpless one-on-one

Chapter 357

At dusk, there was a dead silence in the city. After entering the north gate, it could be seen that the streets were in a mess, the houses collapsed, and the rags were lost to the ground. Many corpses could be seen in the ruins of the broken wall, emitting a stench.

Xu Shangyi frowned and scolded, "The anti-thief is really abominable. A good county has become like this. I came here once last year, and this small city is still bustling, and now it is not even seen."

A hundred households around him asked doubtfully, "Lord Qianhu, why can't you even see the people? Normally, when the officers and soldiers arrive, the rebels escape, and the people should take the lead. At least there are tens of thousands of people in Wen'an County, and it is impossible for the rebels to kill all the people.

Another hundred households said, "Don't you understand? Either he escaped or was taken away.

Xu Shangyi frowned and said, "It's possible to escape, but it's impossible to take it away. Didn't you hear the couple say that there are only 400 or 500 rebels out of the city? At least thousands of people are trapped."

"My lord, if we escape, why don't we see the people along the way? Normally, the direction of the people's escape should be the first choice in our Bazhou Prefecture, where the guards are stationed, and the anti-thieves dare not chase and be presumptuous.

Xu Shangyi stood on horse and looked back at the soldiers who were entering the gate. The 500 officers and soldiers he led had already entered more than half of them. The weapons were clattering, and the miscellaneous footsteps were very noisy. With this noisy sound, several streets on the left should be heard. Why didn't anyone come out to probe? It really makes people suspicious.

"The officers and soldiers of thousands of households in the new town came to eliminate the rebels. People in Wen'an County, you don't have to hide anymore. Come out." Xu Shangyi shouted loudly.

The sound echoed in the empty street, but no one appeared; Xu Shangyi frowned, and the soldiers and horses behind him came in. He did not move in front of him, causing the soldiers and horses behind him to enter the city to be blocked, so he had to drive his horse forward, less than dozens of feet, and the road turned to the right, and the street was dark. There is a thing, and the sky is too dark to see what it is.

Xu Shangyi ordered someone to check. After a moment, the soldier replied, "Lord Qianhu, it was a table, chair and a big tree that blocked the road and could not pass."

Xu Shangyi was shocked. What is the reason for the obstacles on the streets in this city? He was suddenly shocked and shouted, "Stop, order the soldiers and horses behind to suspend entering the city."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a noise and riot of the soldiers at the gate behind him, mixed with shocking shouting; Xu Shangyi shouted, "What happened?"

"Your Excellency... Your Excellency, there is someone shooting arrows in the city."

"Ah!" Xu Shangyi was shocked: "No, there is an ambush. Hurry out of the city gate."

There was a chaos between soldiers and horses. Xu Shangyi took people back to the gate a hundred steps away. Then he heard a noise of shouting and faintly heard someone shouting, "The suspension bridge has been pulled up and can't get out."

Xu Shangyi's shocked soul flew away. After a moment, he listened to the four-square gongs, followed by deafening shouts. The barriers piled up on the street in front of him burst out flames, instantly becoming a wall several feet high, blocking the road to the city. Under the firelight, behind the broken walls on both sides, next to the big trees and on the ridge of the house, countless figures appeared at the head of the wall, holding torches and grinning strangely.

Xu Shangyi's soul was scattered and knew that he had been ambushed by the thief soldiers. The thief soldiers lured himself into the city and trapped himself in the hundreds of steps of streets at the gate of the city. There was a wall in front of it, and the suspension bridge behind it had been pulled up. This is the momentum of catching turtles in the urn.

What frightened Xu Shangyi even more was that the figure of the thief soldiers around him was not only 400 or 500 people, but also thousands of people around him.

"Hahaha." A burst of laughter came. At the top of the tall wooden building on the left, one person laughed and shouted, "Master, do you still remember the villain?"

Xu Shangyi squinted and looked at it. There were seven or eight shadows standing high. One of them approached his torch to illuminate his face and laughed loudly, "The villain is Yang Hu. We just met outside the city. How forgetful the adults are."

Xu Shangyi couldn't wait to slap himself. The thief actually knew how to use tricks and deliberately arranged people to give himself false information outside the city. ** When he came to the city, he was still convinced.

"Put down the blade and capture it, otherwise Grandpas will be rude." Yang Hu shouted loudly.

Xu Shangyi shouted angrily, "Anti-thief, you dare to rebel, and you are not afraid of the crime of destroying the nine clans."

A scar-faced man beside Yang Hu laughed loudly and said, "Dog officer, you are still talking at this time. *, in addition to violence and peace, it is natural and earth. Give you ten breaths and put down the blade. Your Master Liu can keep your whole body."

Xu Shangyi scolded angrily and ordered loudly: "Kill the head of the city, put down the suspension bridge, and let the brothers outside the city come to pick it up."

The officers and soldiers shouted to attack the city wall. Liu gave an order, and the arrows suddenly rained, and the javelin sticks and stones fell from both sides like rain. Then, the thieves with various simple blades swarmed out and blocked the officers and soldiers in the street. The two sides fought together.

Outside the gate, there was also a mess. Hundreds of soldiers and horses were entering the city. Hundreds of people suddenly appeared on the head of the city. Bows and arrows were shot randomly, and stones were smashed. Suddenly, the soldiers and horses who walked on the suspension bridge turned over. The front rushed to the city, and the back quickly retreated to the moat. The thieves at the head of the city were suspended bridge. Pull up and suddenly separate the officers and soldiers inside and outside the city.

With Xu Shangyi entering the city, there were only 500 soldiers and horses, and there were 600 or 700 people outside the city, but he was unable to enter the city. He knew that the soldiers and horses in the city were ambushed, but they could only look at each other across the river and could not be rescued.

Chen Bao roared and ordered the archers to shoot arrows at the top of the city. While sending several horses to gallop along the moat, looking for places to cross the river and whether other city gates could enter. However, he himself also knew that all this was just futile. Since the thief soldiers had set up this trap, how could they leave the way into the city.

The sky was already dark. Fortunately, in the first half of the month, a bright moon rose in the eastern sky, so that Chen Bao could still see the situation on the top of the city, but this did not help the war at all. He shot all the arrows he carried, and hundreds of thieves on the top of the city were only shot and were still unable to attack the city. At this moment, the city has It's a massacre of purgatory.

Xu Shangyi was bathed in blood, and the knife in his hand killed more than a dozen thieves, but there were too many thieves. With the fall of the soldiers one by one, less than 70 or 80 soldiers could stand, and his heart was gradually getting cold. The general trend was gone, and he was afraid he would die here today.

"Anti-thief Liu Liu, do you dare to fight with me? What ability do you have to calculate by conspiracy? Xu Shangyi spit out a mouthful of blood and shouted angrily.

Liu Liu was also bathed in blood, and his two steel knives in his hands were rolled up. He took the lead and killed more than a dozen officers and soldiers. Hearing Xu Shangyi's words of challenge, he spat and slowly stepped forward.

"Master Six, you don't have to fight with this man. He is provoking you." The brothers around them stopped. They saw Xu Shangyi's bravery and were worried that Liu Liu was not his opponent.

Liu Liu scolded, "What are you talking about? Are you asking your sixth master to shrink his head and gossip behind others in the future? All get out of the way."

The people in the fight unconsciously stopped and automatically let go of an open space. Liu Liu came forward with a bloody knife and smiled, "If you want to fight alone, you can do whatever you want."

Xu Shangyi stepped forward silently, straightened his helmet, wiped the blood from his face, and said in a low voice, "Well, although he is a thief, he is a man."

Liu Liu laughed and said, "You don't need to flatter the Sixth Master and show your ability to see the truth."

Xu Shangyi said, "Okay, but I have a proposal."

Liu Liu smiled and said, "I know, you don't need to say that if you win, I will let you and your men out of the city. If I win, you will order your men to abandon the knife and surrender, so as not to hurt more people."

Xu Shangyi smiled and said, "That's what I said, but if I lose, you will die. If you lose, I won't save your life. We can only live alone."

Liu Liu licked the blood on his lips and smiled and said, "Okay, quick words. I like it. That's it. You have heard that even if I die in the hands of this official, you have to keep your promise, otherwise I won't close my eyes."

Everyone was silent. At this time, it was not the right time to preach morality. Liu Qi secretly winked. Yang Hu and others were okay and quietly ordered people to pull bows and arrows in the dark and wait for the opportunity to help.

Xu Shangyi arched his hand, suddenly shouted, dragged the big knife forward quickly, and walked to the front of Liu Liu's father and suddenly got up in the air. The big knife turned into a half-circular pocket like a flash of lightning and cut it at Liu Liu standing on the ground.

Liu Liu shouted, "Good luck."

He twisted his body and dodged the head chopping. Xu Shangyi fell to the ground and swept his hind legs. Liu Liu was a leap again. He could avoid this leg sweep and shouted, "I'm the guest who came to Wen'an County. I asked you two moves. Now it's my turn."

When the words fell, the two knives in their hands flew up, cutting down and cutting a series of moves. For a moment, the sound of 'when' the blade was endless. The two fought in the same place. When they fought for life and death, they did not leave their backhands. The action was fierce and fast, and the hearts of the people around them oozed with cold sweat.
