Chapter 154 Li Bin
Chapter 154
"The patriarch, the Han army set fire to the official road, and the iron leader's life and death are uncertain now. Shall we send someone to save him?" A general said.
"Immediately send someone over and save them." Beigong Boyu lost his voice.
Once the withered branches and leaves on the official road are burned, many of them are not open fires, but dark fires that are constantly smoking. This kind of dark fire makes those who want to go in and save people also stop. First, it is really difficult to approach. Second, when you see this tragic scene, you dare to go in. At this time, it is natural. How far is it? How far is it?
"The patriarch, the fire is fierce, and there is smoke everywhere. It's so choked that people can't open their eyes, can't breathe, and there is no way to rescue him." A general ran over with a gray face and said to Beigong Boyu.
"How many people are trapped in it?" After Beigong Boyu settled down a little, he asked the general on one side.
"Report to the patriarch that in addition to the 10,000 people brought by Lord Tie Lu, there are more than 10,000 people who are also trapped in it. Now the situation is chaotic, and it is difficult to count for a while." A general replied.
"In just two days, we lost 3,000 people in Tianshui, 2,000 when attacking the city, 5,000 were killed by Lv Bu's cavalry, and 2,000 in the battle with Dianwei. In addition to the previous losses, there were 20,000 people. Now this fire, if I have less than ten or twenty thousand sergeants, doesn't it mean that we will lose nearly half before we hit Tianshui City? Beigong Boyu pinched his fingers and was shocked. However, in two days, his 100,000 army had such a big loss. If it went on like this, Beigong Boyu couldn't imagine it and felt exhausted.
"Pearl, although we can't save the iron leader, isn't this Longyou City still there? My subordinates are willing to lead troops into the city and kill the people in the city to relieve the anger of the patriarch. A general rushed forward and said fiercely to Beigong Boyu.
"Go ahead and do it." Beigong Boyu waved his hand and agreed to the general's suggestion.
At the same time, the war on the official road on the mountain side is still going on fiercely. The official road opened on the mountain. The Han army was condescending and guarded everywhere. When they saw the Qiang soldiers who escaped from the official road, they shot them with bows and arrows. Due to the fierce fire and the smoke, the Han army was not willing to take risks. Once they were trapped below, they were likely to be choked to death by smoke. This is not fun.
On the other side, the intersection that Lv Bu was originally responsible for has now become a lot of people stationed. When Lv Bu saw the fierce Qiang people next to him, he took action. At the rest of the time, he won't take action, just watch these people vent.
"My friends, it's almost time. You'd better hurry up now. As long as you don't get to Tianshui for a day, you are still very dangerous." Seeing that there were fewer and fewer Qiang people escaping from the smoke, Lv Bu knew that it was almost done, so he began to greet the people to leave. As for whether there are strong-willed Qiang people, they endure it in the smoke. When they withdraw and then run for their lives, Lv Bu doesn't care. There must be strong-willed people at any time. Lv Bu's original intention was just to stop the pursuit of the Qiang people, not to kill anyone.
"General, you saved us this time. We are very grateful to you. Let us stay with you and be a soldier." Seeing that there were indeed no Qiang people coming out again, the people began to disperse. At this time, several young people knelt down to Lv Bu and pleaded.
"I'm very happy that you have this idea. Well, when you go back to Tianshui, you can tell the officers there that the war has just begun, and I believe no one will refuse you." Lv Bu smiled and said to these people.
"No, General, we are going to be your soldiers, follow you." Several young people said.
"Follow me, my reputation is not very good." Hearing that these young people wanted to follow him as soldiers, Lv Bu's heart was warm and his reputation was not good, which was very stressful for Lv Bu. However, when he saw these people pleading with him like this, Lv Bu knew that it was still very rewarding to walk to Longyou. As long as these people can remember their good and where they went, Lv Bu's good reputation will spread there. Compared with the praise of scholars, the praise of the people is more real.
"General, we don't care whether your reputation is good or not. We just know that you are a good person. It was you who saved us. At the most critical time of Longyou, you were the only one who helped us. Among the young people, a person who seemed to have some culture said.
"What's your name? I think you are quite extraordinary in your speech. I want to read some books." Lv Bu said to a young man.
"I'm Li Bin, whose name is Jiande, Jiangdong, and I was born as a ranger. I have studied private school for a few days since I was a child. It was only because I caused a lawsuit at home that I traveled here. I admire the general's prestige very much. I am willing to serve the general and serve the left and right." Li Bin answered quickly as soon as he heard Lv Bu ask him.
"Well, that's right. If you have this idea, just stay. However, you are not trained, but now you can't directly enter the army. Well, I'll give you a task to send these people to Tianshui safely. When it comes to Tianshui, I will officially accept you as subordinates. Lv Bu nodded and said. Originally, Lv Bu was unwilling to accept these untrained people. There must be not many soldiers, but in the essence. However, seeing the sincerity of these people, it is not easy to refuse. It must depends on their sincerity. Thinking that there should be no problem with loyalty, they came up with a compromise. Obviously, they escorted the people back to Tianshui.
"Thank you for your success." Lv Bu's decision made these people overjoyed. Kneel down.
"Your excellency, your sword, thank you for your sword just now. The little talent killed a lot of Qiang people." Seeing that Lv Bu had accepted himself and everyone, Li Bin was reluctant to return a sword to Lv Bu. It was Lv Bu who asked him to take the sword to kill the Qiang people.
"Hahaha, since I accept you as my subordinates, I will leave this sword to you. I hope you don't humiliate this sword. With that, Lv Bu untied the scabbard from his waist and threw it to Li Bin.
"Your excellency loves you, and Li Bin will definitely follow you to the death." At this time, Lv Bu's behavior moved Li Bin, which was uncontrollable. You know, as a general, his lover is just a war horse and weapon. Li Bin and Lv Bu just met, and Lv Bu gave it to him with a sword. Can this not make Li Bin moved to work hard for Lv Bu?
Different from Lv Bu's situation, Longxi City is a sea of knives and fire at this time. The shouts of killing came one after another. A team of Qiang soldiers constantly came into the city from all directions and killed people at first sight, regardless of whether they met soldiers or ordinary people. You should know that the people who stay in Longxi City are not injured and naturally disabled people who can't escape from the sky, but also old people who are old and difficult to leave their hometown. For these people, if they follow the people who fled, I'm afraid that they will never have a chance to return to their hometown in their life, and they naturally don't want to leave. However, this did not affect them standing on the high tower and throwing the rolling wood and stone at the Qiang people who rushed to the bottom of the city.
If the burning Qiang people on Lv Bu's side made the Han people relieved. Then the last struggle of Longxicheng here is the real tragedy.
"Kill, kill, kill them." Deng Fan's arm was slingering in front of his chest because of an injury. He was completely unconscious, but the other hand grasped a sword tightly and waved it, commanding many people left around him to send waves of attacks on Qiang soldiers.
"The old and immortal, what are you still shouting about when you are about to die?" A Qiang soldier leader saw Deng Fan still insisting on resisting and rushed over.
"Well, even if I die, I still have to pull a few Qiang people on the back. You came just in time." Seeing this Qiang leader coming over, Deng Fan was not surprised but happy. Looking at his meaning, it is obvious that he wants to pull the Qiang leader to cushion himself.
"Old bastard, I'm going to die, and you still want to pull my back?" The Qiang leader heard what Deng Fan meant, didn't care, and showed a contemptuous smile. Look, I cut you with a knife."
The leader of Qiang people split a knife, but Deng Fan dodged and dodged. He had already taken good care of the terrain, and this one gave the Qiang people to the side of the wall.
"Old man, let's see if you can avoid this knife." The leader of Qiang's face showed a ferocious color, and this time he stabbed Deng Fan's chest with a knife.
However, this time, Deng Fan bent his body down and made a 100-meter sprint, but did not avoid a stabbed knife. After that, Deng Fan rushed forward.
The sound of standing and pouring into the meat came. The Qiang leader smiled ferociously, and the sword in his hand stabbed Deng Fan's lower abdomen. However, the Qiang man's smile immediately condensed. Although Deng Fan was stabbed in the lower abdomen by him, the force of his body to rush forward did not weaken at all. Under the strength of this Qiang man's forward rush, his body staggered and fell back. Together with Deng Fan, he both fell off the wall and died.
At the same time, this tragic scene was staged in countless streets and alleys in Longyou City. In order to deal with Qiang soldiers, the Han people in the city used all the weapons that could be used, even their teeth and nails. When all the weapons were used up, the last choice of the Han people in the city was to jump off the city with the Qiang soldiers, jump into the well, or light the house and turn into ashes with the Qiang people.
This night can only be a sleepless night for both Qiang soldiers and the people of Longyou City. Longxi City fell into a sea of fire, the fire was splashed everywhere, the black smoke was rolling, and the smell of blood lasted for a long time. On both sides of the official road outside the city, there is still black smoke, and occasionally Qiang soldiers come to look for their relatives and friends. They still talk about something, as if they are attracting souls and comforting the dead.
