Li Zhang

Rong Xie gritted his teeth angrily when he saw that the dug trap was easily dodged by Li Zhang, but although he watched Li Zhang disappear from his eyes, the area where the tenants lived was uneven, scattered, and there were many people from other places. After people left one after another, many vacant places became easier to hide and harder to find.At first he thought he had chosen to hide Zhiqing here by surprise, but now he felt that he had put himself in a trap.Fortunately, the township soldiers had rehearsed in advance, and although the progress was not fast, they never missed anything.

The more Rong Xie waited, the more anxious he became. Although he didn't believe that Li Zhang would just sit and wait to die, he also didn't believe that Li Zhang would rush in with the unconscious Zhiqing.Just as he was undecided, a firework suddenly exploded in the night sky.Rong Xie was agitated, and was about to send someone to investigate, when he saw a village soldier running to report, "Li Zhang is heading to Zhuangbei with Miss Song on his back!"

Rong Xie was taken aback for a moment, and then he heard the attack horn sounded from outside the village. Thinking of his plan with Cheng Xuan, he suddenly felt like he was being calculated, and his heart skipped a beat!

He originally used Zhiqing as bait to plan to win Li Zhang, and then he coerced Sima Yi to cede the prefecture and county, and it would be better to kill him while his mind was in turmoil.Therefore, he and Cheng Xuan had already agreed that he would have full authority to trap Li Zhang, while Hexi and Kelubi pretended to be defeated and turned back halfway, returning to Zhuangxi Shenxianyu to hide and wait for orders.For this reason, he sent his best scouts to Hexi and Kelubi, and agreed to use fireworks as the name to raid the Wei army.

As a result, Li Zhang stole the bait, and the fireworks released were the same as his agreed signal.Now the Wei army has started a strong attack outside the village, and the northern barbarian cavalry from Shenxianyu are also coming, but at this time, the Wei army is in high spirits. This mistake may ruin their original advantage and fall into a catastrophe. land!

Rong Xie thought over and over again, only by capturing Li Zhang alive can the crisis situation be revitalized, now except for the basic manpower of guarding the village, all the remaining village soldiers are sent to the north of the village to arrest Li Zhang.

When Rong Xie saw Li Zhang again, he had already removed the disguise behind his back, and took his position with the four guards.This is the largest drying ground in the village, and it was already surrounded by soldiers, but under the heavy rewards, the soldiers crowded forward and back, but they couldn't go any further when they were two feet away from the center.

Rong Xie didn't believe that so many people couldn't do anything about it, so he kept urging for more rewards.The soldiers at the back only said that the ones in front refused to go all out, and pushed forward harder, while the soldiers in front were unable to advance or retreat under the pressure of the formation, so they had to look to the side for a gap, and as a result, black crowds surrounded the drying yard. Started a circle.

Such a strange scene made Rong Xie renew his curiosity about Jiufanzhen, so he jumped onto the big trees on the sidelines to see what happened.

It is the darkest time of night when the five drums are beaten.In the huge field, only the torches were lit around, and Li Zhang stood calmly in the formation in the dim light and shadow. Although he still looked unfamiliar, the gesture of swinging the long sword was the same as when he was practicing swords in the same courtyard that day, without rushing or slowing down. The middle is calm and dense.Then look at the four people dressed as villagers around him, they can advance and retreat freely vertically and horizontally, they often complement each other like a god's help, attacking and defending closely as if they were one person.The villagers charged and killed several times, but they found a weak point and counterattacked. At this time, everyone was careful not to advance rashly, but they were still killed if they were negligent, and the besieged circle unconsciously retreated.

The more Rong Xie watched, the more irritable he became. He saw that although there were many soldiers in the village, they couldn't stand up to Li Zhang's four helpers. Rely on the number of people to achieve the goal as soon as possible.He couldn't think of a way to break the formation, and the more he watched, the more he felt that Li Zhang's calmness was extremely eye-catching, and he became less and less sure of capturing Li Zhang alive.

The shouts from outside the village became stronger and stronger one after another, and Cheng Xuan's urging became more and more intense every time.Rong Xie hesitated again and again, took out an exquisite small crossbow similar to Rong Juan's, and buckled three arrows with shafts several times thicker than ordinary arrows, aimed at Li Zhang and waited for the opportunity.He waited for a quarter of an hour before pulling the crossbow at the moment Li Zhang turned around.

The crossbow arrows shot at Li Zhang through the gap with an inconspicuous movement, and Li Zhang found him when he was close to him, and he waved his sword away, but the arrow suddenly divided into five smaller arrows, sealing him Up, down, left, and right dodging directions.Li Zhang hastily changed his move, backhanded the move and rolled the bead curtain, and after shooting down the three arrows that were approaching behind him, he turned around, only to see another two arrows separated in front of him, and the black arrow There was a faint blue fluorescence in the firelight.He was stunned, and while rolling the sword to shoot down the small arrow, he turned his head to look at the two small arrows that passed by, and saw one of them pierced into the guard's back shoulder, and the man swayed twice Just fell to the ground!

There was a gap in the coherent formation, and powerful pressure rushed in from the gap.Li Zhang yelled inwardly that he was not good, and flew up while rushing to change the formation. With the sound of the wind, he rushed to the junction of the formation transformation with Changhong Guanri, facing the pressure rushing like a wave.After a burst of fighting, the town soldiers were ordered to drop several weapons, and the offensive slowed down slightly in a daze. The imperial guards had regained their footing and stepped forward in response to Li Zhang's position.The township soldier was forced back again, but Li Zhang failed to return to his position. When he landed, his feet softened and he knelt on the ground. Rong Xie's third mother-in-law arrows chased after him and scattered with a bang!

"Li joins the army!"

The imperial guards all exclaimed, but they turned around to save them, but they couldn't reach them, and the villagers took advantage of the situation to attack again!

Although Li Zhang used cleverness before, he could not undo all the attacks with a single sword. Even if the few moves he received were only brute force, he couldn't help but feel his blood rushing and his chest feeling tight. Seeing the little arrow approaching him again , I had no choice but to take another breath of true energy and return to the sword frame to strike. When the little arrow fell to the ground, I couldn't help spitting out blood, and I couldn't do enough to get up again.

The imperial guards quickly guarded over, and Zhao Yu, the leader, took over the command and guarded Li Zhang tightly in the center, but the formation inevitably shrunk because of this, and soon became overwhelmed and difficult under the strong pressure of the township soldiers.Li Zhang barely suppressed the turbulent breath, and stood up with force. Just as Zhao Yu was about to speak, Li Zhang had already stepped out of the formation and stepped into the position of changing formation.Zhao Yu no longer insisted, and moved according to the order with the imperial guards, followed by Li Zhang's formation again, handed his back to Li Zhang and his companions, and expanded the offensive to the highest level.

Li Zhang focused to the extreme, and his reaction became sharper and quicker. He firmly grasped every subtle opportunity, leading the three of them to attack like a rainbow, and they were even more aggressive than before!

Rong Xie stared dumbfounded from the tree, never would have imagined that Li Zhang would pull him back even though he had already taken the lead!Reluctantly, he pointed the Lianzhuzi mother arrow at Li Zhang again, looking for an opportunity, when there was a commotion in the distance.He felt stunned, he thought that the Wei army had already entered the village, and before he could think about it, he released the arrows of mother and son.

Although Li Zhang was engrossed in the battle with the local soldiers, he was always alert to Rong Xie's side because of the previous accident.At this moment, the mother and child arrows came again, one of them was shot by Rong Xie in a hurry and not concealed enough, and the other was that Li Zhang already knew that the arrows were hidden in the sky, but the arrows themselves were restricted by the structure and did not fly fast, so the arrows of the mother and child had just arrived and Li Zhang had already picked them up Zhiqing's cotton-padded jacket on the ground took a few steps forward and rolled the arrow into the jacket, then took out and threw it vigorously, hitting the oncoming second arrow with mother and child, the two arrows split immediately, ten small arrows flew around, and then shot again. He deflected the third arrow that was coming after him, and divided it into five arrows among the crowd, causing quite a bit of confusion without accident.

Zhao Yu saw that the opportunity was rare, but Li Zhang, who had been reacting very fast, did not make any further moves. He couldn't help but looked back strangely. He saw Li Zhang staggering and spitting out blood. In shock, he immediately rushed to his side to support him. he.

Li Zhang concentrated his mind, raised his hand and pushed him away, saying, "I'm fine!"

Zhao Yu said anxiously: "Although Zhao is not ready to lead the battle and join the army, he can survive until the emperor arrives. Please join the army and adjust your breath at ease!"

While speaking, Rong Xie had come down from the tree, and ordered the archers and crossbowmen to come and surround the drying yard—he didn't want to and couldn't spend any more time with Li Zhang.After ordering the soldiers to go down, he looked anxiously at the direction where the movement was getting bigger and bigger. He was annoyed that no one responded, when he saw two figures leading the way and ran over from the drying yard, followed by a long line of local soldiers.

"what happened?!"

Rong Xie asked loudly, but Ling Yuncong answered him with an angry shout: "Rong Xie, take your life!"

Rong Xie was taken aback for a moment, and looked closely at the other person dressed as a soldier next to Ling Yuncong, and couldn't help gritting his teeth fiercely: "Liu Yun! You are here!"

Liu Yun chuckled and said, "I've followed Zhuqiao all the way here, and I've finally made it!"

Rong Xie no longer hesitated: "Kill them!"

The villagers rushed forward, and the drying yard became more and more chaotic.The archers and crossbowmen came from outside the arena and were immediately blocked.

Ling Yuncong and Liu Yun could not wait to attract all the soldiers to their side, they were ruthless in their attacks, and they were killed in the crowd until they were covered in blood after a while, only their eyes were still black and white.

After they made such a fuss, the number of people besieging Li Zhang's side dropped sharply, and the archers and crossbowmen were too crowded to be in position. They were afraid to shoot arrows for fear of hurting their own people, and the pressure on Li Zhang and the others suddenly decreased a lot.Zhao Yu didn't dare to move rashly, and took the other two guards to closely protect Li Zhang.Li Zhang was already injured and injured, and he was already unable to hold on until now, so he stopped insisting and took advantage of this moment to meditate and adjust his breath.

The sky was gradually turning pale, and the screams from outside the village were mixed with the neighing and screaming of many horses, which made Rong Xie's ears scratch and worry even more.He was eager to resolve the battle here, but Ling Yuncong and Liu Yun, like the gods of the heavenly soldiers, fought more and more bravely in the encirclement of a hundred times the local soldiers, and they were killed until the knife edge rolled and the tiger's mouth was bleeding, and the blood all over the body was even more indistinguishable. How much is his own, but still as fierce as before.Rong Xie didn't want to wait any longer, and ordered the archers and crossbowmen to clear the field. The villagers were too late to retreat, and the soldiers were killed and wounded. Ling Yuncong and Liu Yun each grabbed a soldier from the village to act as a human shield, and slowly approached Li Zhang and the others.

After a little effort, the drying yard was emptied to its original state, all the besieging soldiers withdrew, and the six people in the arena were surrounded by bowmen and crossbowmen.Rong Xie looked unwillingly at Li Zhang who stood up slowly, and asked in a bitter voice, "Do you really want to die here?"

Li Zhang shook his head: "Of course I don't want to die. But you, do you really want to follow Cheng Xuan to the end?"

Rong Xie looked at Li Zhang expressionlessly: "Cheng Xuan is ambitious, and Sima Yi is not a good person! It's just that if you win the king and lose the bandit, Sima Yi may not be the winner! I just don't understand, Sima Yi insults you and hurts you, so tired Your mother died alone in the monastery, so you can't get over it so easily?!"

Rong Xie's words were like stabbing a sharp knife straight into Li Zhang's heart, even though he was used to hearing slander and ridicule, he still couldn't help shaking and almost spit out blood again.Ling Yuncong was so ashamed and hated that he didn't wait for Li Zhang to say anything, he took a step forward and said loudly: "Ling Yuncong made the mistake, and Ling Yuncong should pay for it! You don't talk about it here! The emperor is kind, loves the people and works hard. How can it be that Cheng Zeixiao is incomparable! If you know the current affairs, you should tie Cheng Zeijun to plead guilty, or the emperor can spare your life!"

Rong Xie raised his head and laughed a few times, pointed at Ling Yuncong and said mockingly: "You are just a snobby snobbery, what face do you have to speak in front of him? If you are really responsible, why is he like this!"

He ignored Ling Yuncong, and continued to talk to Li Zhang: "Rong has always respected you. I regret that your fate is too short. It's a pity that you are a bloody man. Now that you have been reborn, you want to ask Sima Yi for help." To be fair, I didn't know that you are so cowardly, and you don't want to take revenge but act as a slave to a tiger, which really disappoints Rongmou! Rongmou is bound to win today, if you still remember your mother and Miss Song, then read this article with me God! If you are still obsessed with it, then don't blame Rong for not thinking about the past and being cruel!"

Li Zhang didn't want to say more, he raised his hand to stop Ling Yuncong who still wanted to scold Rong Xie, and said quietly: "Master Rong's old love, Li Zhang dare not accept it again, this world is not something you can turn over if you want !At this moment, the sound of the crowing of horses outside Zhuangyuan is getting farther and farther away, so Hexi must have retreated knowing the difficulty, and the reversal you want may not come true!"

Rong Xie was startled, and listened carefully to the movement outside the village. As Li Zhang said, he was getting farther and weaker, and in a panic, he could no longer hold on to the facade, and cursed bitterly: "Since you are so determined, I will make you complete." !” Then he waved his hand and ordered to release the arrows!

The crossbows and arrows that were as dense as migratory locusts flew towards the six people in the field, no matter how powerful the formation was, it was useless.Zhao Yu and the other two imperial guards protected Li Zhang first. Although Ling Yuncong and Liu Yun were seriously injured, they tried their best to block the arrows for Li Zhang.

It was the first time for Li Zhang to be protected like this, even though he knew that it was also because of Sima Yi, his loyalty to the delivery of his life could not be moved.At this moment, he actually believed that if Sima Yi was in person, he would try his best to shield himself from the rain of arrows!

This cognition had a great impact on him. Even if he knew that Sima Yi had moved his true feelings for him, he never thought that this person who has always been aloof would do this for him.Therefore, even though it was just a thought, he couldn't help but doubt his conclusion about Sima Yi, whether he was still the prince he was familiar with, and the thick frozen wall deep in his heart began to crack, but let He was even more at a loss as to how to deal with it.

Time passed slowly, and the rain of arrows did not show any signs of stopping. The five guards had already been shot by arrows, but they still firmly guarded Li Zhang in the center.Li Zhang wanted to go out several times, but was firmly stopped by the crowd. In desperation, he saw Zhiqing's cotton-padded jacket on the ground, picked it up and checked it, and found two wooden hairpins in the hidden pocket. Then he took out a self-made torch filled with grease, inserted the wooden hairpin into the top and ignited it with a torch, got up and checked the direction of the wind, and threw the torch to the downwind.

The torch drew an arc and landed on the open space in front of the archer and crossbowman. The flame shook a few times when it landed, and then continued to burn.At this time, there are still many scattered torches in the field, smoking openly or secretly, mixed in the rising morning mist, no one pays attention.

Li Zhang stepped forward suddenly and said, "Follow me!"

The imperial guards didn't know, so they were waiting to stop them. The soldiers in front suddenly screamed in pain and threw down their crossbows. They covered their faces with their hands and rolled over. Li Zhang then threw a few smoke bombs in other directions, causing another burst Screaming and retreating.

Li Zhang rushed out first, dodging the poisonous smoke and rushed out of the drying yard from the disorganized crossbow team.The imperial guards gritted their teeth and followed closely in a daze, and still tightly protected Li Zhang despite his serious injuries.

Rong Xie made up his mind that there was absolutely no possibility of missing again, and sent all the soldiers from the village to support Cheng Xuan. He only had the last bit of obsession to capture Li Zhang alive, so he stayed where he was and waited for the opportunity. Before he could think about it, he had already jumped out of the drying yard, just in time to stop Li Zhang from going.

"You can make poison!"

"An extraordinary move at an extraordinary time! If Young Master Rong hadn't pushed too hard, Li Zhang wouldn't have needed this!"

"Hmph! It came out just right!"

Rong Xie's mouth kept saying that his hands were even more pressing, he bullied between the imperial guards and Li Zhang, and slashed Huashan Mountain with one move, the wind of the knife rolled up was as sharp as a blade, forcing Li Zhang and the imperial guards to retreat again and again, only one Zhao has separated Li Zhang from the imperial guards.The arrow in Zhao Yu's thigh was bleeding profusely. It was already difficult for him to move forward, and the rest of the people were at the end of their battles. At this moment, they saw Rong Xie ruthlessly driving Li Zhang, who had heavy footwork, to the point where he was powerless to fight back. He gritted his teeth and was bleeding but couldn't get rid of the soldiers who kept rushing up.

While Li Zhang was struggling to support, seeing that the imperial guards were in a hard fight because of their eagerness to rescue, he sighed secretly and raised his voice and said to them: "Just get up and protect yourself, don't worry about me!"

As soon as the words fell, Rong Xie stabbed Li Zhang's right chest with a knife, Li Zhang turned back to block with his sword, and his foot was half a step slower, his weak right hand only deflected the blade a little, and the tip of the knife pierced hard into his right shoulder .Li Zhang trembled all over, but Rong Xie took a step forward and sent the knife a few more points, piercing his shoulder.Li Zhang couldn't hold the long sword in his hand any longer, and Rong Xie pressed his heavy hand on the Tanzhong acupoint, and immediately vomited blood again, and was hugged by Rong Xie.

"You, your internal injuries are still so desperate?! You don't even care about your life for him?!"

Li Zhang couldn't speak, his eyes were closed tightly, his face was pale, and his breathing was so faint that he couldn't hear it.Rong Xie was angry and hated, seeing the man lying limp in his arms suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion, which made him unable to watch Li Zhang die.He suddenly put aside everything and put Li Zhang down and sat down, unlocked the acupoints and pressed his hands on his chest, not even daring to pull out the knife on his shoulder.

All the imperial guards and Ling Yuncong were stunned by this sudden turn of events, and the besieging soldiers also went inside without knowing it, and stopped their movements unknowingly.So when Sima Yi rushed over at the first, what he saw was Rong Xie who was healing Li Zhang, and the village soldiers and his guards who stood still.
