Chapter 38: Defeat at Changbai Mountain
When Shan Xiongxin saw Xiao Tiance fall off his horse, he raised his gun to take his head, but he heard a loud shout from behind:
"Wait! Spare his life!"
Shan Xiongxin was stunned. A fifteen-year-old girl, wearing a moon-white battle robe, riding a group of maroon war horses.
She held a sword in her right hand and a "trump card" in her left hand that shone with a cold and menacing light.
Her face is as white as powder, which can be broken by a breeze; her eyebrows are like distant mountains, dark and endless.
Her proud breasts are just like the peaks on both sides of Lijiang River; her fiery red lips are full of charm.
Shan Xiongxin stared with his eyes wide open, and suddenly, Li Ji shouted:
"Captain Shan, she is Wild Rose Liu Lisha."
As soon as he raised the gun, he stabbed Liu Lisha.
But he didn't expect that at the moment when he shot back, Lisa Liu took the initiative and pointed a sword at his forehead.
He was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat and leaned back rapidly. Oh my God, I, Shan Xiongxin, almost cheated.
The two young men clashed with their spears and swords, making a clanging sound. The battle was so intense that the sky was dark and the earth was dark, with sand and rocks flying everywhere.
"Take her life! Kill her!"
Li Ji kept shouting on the city wall.
Shan Xiongxin became more and more courageous as the battle went on, and Liu Lisha became more and more excited as the battle went on.
Just when the battle was at its most intense, drums were sounded and Hao Xiaode arrived with his army.
Shan Xiongxin knew that he could not continue fighting, so he turned his horse around and ran towards the city gate.
At this time, Hao Xiaode's army of 100,000 had already arrived at the city.
The Shen time will arrive immediately.
Hao Xiaode sneered a few times, looked at Li Ji on the tower, and shouted:
"Master Li, you are so young and you have to sacrifice your life for the city. Isn't it a pity?"
Li Ji laughed loudly and answered loudly:
"I am an official appointed by the imperial court. I swear to defend Pingyuan City until my death. What is the pity of death?"
Hao Xiaode shouted sternly:
"A man who knows the current situation is a hero. If you insist on not changing your ways, don't blame me for being rude."
"You bold thief, in broad daylight, you occupy the mountain and call yourself king, gathering people to cause trouble. According to the laws of the Sui Dynasty, you should exterminate all nine clans."
Hao Xiaode was furious. A sixteen-year-old boy's bold words must be put to rest.
"Where is the vanguard officer?"
"I will be here!"
Jiang Xiaojiu rode his horse forward and walked out of the camp.
"I order you to lead 10,000 cavalrymen to go around the west gate. Break through the gate quickly at all costs. After half an hour, both inside and outside will respond."
"Yes, sir!"
Jiang Xiaojiu waved his hand, and ten thousand cavalrymen, riding their horses through the dust, headed straight for the west gate.
Hao Xiaode glanced at Li Ji on the tower and gave a stern order:
"Where is Lisa Liu?"
Liu Lisha responded loudly: "I am here!"
"I order you to lead 30,000 troops straight to the east gate and break it down immediately. There must be no mistakes."
"yes!"
Liu Lisha clenched her fists and led the team.
"Where is the flying grass?"
A tall, thin man, no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, responded in a shrill voice:
"Young General Li Zhanhui is here!"
Hao Xiaode smiled, and he pointed his finger suddenly, his voice as loud as a bell.
"Lead your night assault team to the north gate, fight quickly and decisively, and seize the Tongshou Yamen and the headquarters of the Case Investigation Bureau first."
Li Zhanhui took the order and left.
At this time, the tiny city of Pingyuan had been surrounded by bandits like an iron wall.
Hao Xiaode called out to Li Ji again:
"Lord Li, human life is precious. Don't be ungrateful. If you don't surrender, my 100,000-man army will attack you from all four gates."
Hao Xiaode rode on horseback and pointed with his knife.
"The entire Pingyuan County will be occupied by my troops in an instant. Do you have anything else to say?"
Li Ji's head suddenly became big.
If the four gates are attacked at the same time, how can I get so many soldiers to defend the city?
"Everyone has to die one day, so you should die a worthy death! Beat him!"
At Li Ji's command, Ye Fan, Ye Chen and Shan Xiongxin each led their soldiers to open the city gates and attack outside.
Hao Xiaode divided his troops into four groups and launched a fierce attack on Pingyuan City.
Li Ji stood on the city wall, looking at the deafening sounds of killing outside the city, feeling dazed.
After a while, Simon came to report that Ximen had been lost.
Shan Xiongxin and the other two have turned into bloody bodies.
Liu Xiu advised: "Master Li, lead the remaining troops to escape quickly."
Ye Fan and his two companions fought and retreated.
The three men retreated into the city and came to the top of the city wall panting.
Ye Fan said: "Master Li, the bandits are too strong, let's go."
Liu Xiu advised again: "As long as there is green mountain, there is no fear of running out of firewood. Lord Li, you should leave quickly."
Shan Xiongxin said: "They will not harm the common people. The key is to capture you, sir. I think we should break out."
Soon, a report came from the East Gate: "The East Gate has been lost!"
Then, a report came from the North Gate: "The North Gate has been lost!"
Li Ji made up his mind at this moment, "I will live and die with Pingyuan."
Before he could finish his words, he drew his sword and was about to commit suicide.
At this time, Shan Xiongxin grabbed him and said, "Master Li, let's go!"
Ye Fan and Ye Chen also tried their best to persuade Li Ji to leave the city quickly.
Li Ji looked at Liu Xiu, and Liu Xiu knew that he was worried about her.
She said in a clear voice: "Sir, we will meet again later, please leave the city immediately."
Shan Xiongxin pulled Li Ji to the bottom of the city wall and jumped on his horse.
He broke through in the front, while Ye Fan and Ye Chen followed behind.
Li Ji fought hard in the middle to repel the troops coming from both sides. The four of them formed a goose formation and rushed out of the city with all their might.
The four men ran for twenty miles and arrived at the border of Zou County.
When they saw that there were no more pursuers behind them, they stopped to rest.
At this time, Li Ji was extremely upset and lamented his misfortune.
Others who travel through time either become princes or princes, but I was a graduate student in the history department in my previous life, and now I have to run around everywhere without a stable place to stay.
In my previous life, I was in love with that school beauty, but due to an accident, I traveled to the end of the Sui Dynasty.
I wonder who will be the school beauty? The little Lolita Liu Xiu, who was rewarded by the system, was separated from me in the war.
Just as Li Ji was sighing, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves, and a group of horses galloped towards them from the direction of Changbai Mountain.
"What do you do?"
A leader shouted, "Look at them, they are covered in blood. It's obvious they are not good people. Take them away."
In this way, Li Ji and his four companions were taken to Changbai Mountain by this team.
Wang Boyi, the leader of Changbai Mountain, saw that they were all teenagers of sixteen or seventeen years old and covered in blood-stained clothes, so he knew that they were not ordinary people.
He asked sharply, "Which part are you from?"
Li Ji replied, "I am from Liang County. I was reported for keeping servants in the mountain temple. Linghu Da led his troops to burn down the villa."
He pointed at Ye Fan and the other two and said, "It's just the three of us who escaped."
When Wang Bo heard that they were not government troops, he was polite to them.
"Well, go inside and change your clothes, then stay here with me for a while."
Li Ji and his companions had nothing to do every day and just ate and drank, as if they were under house arrest.
They are not allowed to go out or participate in the decision-making of the village.
Li Ji and Shan Xiongxin were very depressed.
If you don't consider yourself an insider, looking at the current situation, you will have to wait at least fifty years to join the leadership of Changbai Mountain.
Li Ji admired Wang Bo very much. He saw his ambition in Wang Bo's "Song of Death in Liaodong"
"In front of Changbai Mountain, Zhishilang is wearing a red silk crotch. His long spear reaches halfway up the sky, and his wheel knife shines in the sunlight."
"When we go up the mountain, we eat roe deer, and when we go down the mountain, we eat cattle and sheep. Suddenly, we hear that the government troops are coming, so we take up our swords and rush forward. It's like dying in Liaodong, and it doesn't hurt to cut off your head."
"Suddenly I heard the government troops approaching, and I rushed forward with my sword in hand."
Wang Bo hated the government the most, and Li Ji suddenly felt that a disaster was about to happen.
