Li Xiao, Zhang Zhongjing, and Cui Youxian were all very nervous.
They had already retreated.
The problem was that they had encountered another ambush.
It was already very difficult to break out of the encirclement at this time.
Cui Youxian couldn't help but be angry when he heard Li Xiao's words. He said, "What else can we do? Break out of the encirclement and kill our way out. If we're surrounded and killed here, we'll be doomed. The three of us wanted to assassinate Du Qi, but we failed. "
Zhang Zhongjing suddenly said, "Why should we run? We're surrounded and in a desperate situation. It's already very difficult to break out of the encirclement under such circumstances. Instead of that, we might as well go back and kill Du Qi. Look, there weren't many people around Du Qi's carriage to begin with. There were only a hundred or so people. After fighting for a while, there are even fewer people. If we go back, we still have a chance. "
At this moment, battle cries rose from all directions.
Wave after wave of soldiers came to attack. Their soldiers were becoming more and more confused.
Especially when Li Xiao gave the order to retreat and break out of the encirclement as soon as they encountered an ambush, the morale of the entire army was in chaos.
Under such circumstances, they lost their fighting strength.
Zhang Zhongjing said again, "What do you think we should do?"
Li Xiao looked back and snorted. He said, "Zhang Zhongjing, it's obvious that Du Qi set a trap for us this time. Tell me, how could he risk his life? Earlier, when we shouted for Du Qi, he didn't even come out. Obviously, he's not here at all. If that's the case, how could he still be here? Don't think too much about this. "
"Break out. That's our only choice."
"I suggest we continue to break out."
Li Xiao himself was very nervous. He took the initiative to ask what they should do now.
Unexpectedly, Cui Youxian didn't say anything.
Zhang Zhongjing was even more reckless. He wanted to kill his way back.
The problem was that Du Qi wasn't here at all.
If they killed their way back, wouldn't they be courting death? Wouldn't that be walking into a trap?
Li Xiao suddenly regretted his decision.
He shouldn't have conspired with Cui Youxian and Zhang Zhongjing to assassinate Du Qi, because the two of them didn't have any wisdom. If he conspired with such stupid people, he would be digging his own grave.
"Kill!"
"Let's kill our way out!"
Li Xiao didn't say anything else and quickly gave the order.
He led his army and quickly broke out of the encirclement.
Especially at this time, Li Xiao had already left Zhang Zhongjing and Cui Youxian behind, rushing forward with his men alone. Under such circumstances, Li Xiao hoped that he could break out of the encirclement.
While Li Xiao was rushing forward, he saw a young general charging out of the army formation on the official road ahead.
This general was a brownish-black man.
He had black hair, brown eyes, an aquiline nose, shoulder-length hair, and a pair of fierce eyes.
The general was called Zong Ba.
They were the local citizens of Fushan County. While Du Qi was plotting behind the scenes, they were also recruiting and expanding their forces.
Zong Ba was a citizen who joined the army and rose to prominence in a short time.
Zong Ba was tall and burly, about one hundred and ninety-five centimeters tall. His physique was extremely strong, and he was born with great strength. After Zong Ba joined the army, he defeated all the generals in the army in a short time.
Although Zong Ba was illiterate, he was strong and was suitable to be a fierce general.
Later on, Zong Ba became Mordor's disciple.
He was taught martial arts by Mordor.
Originally, Zong Ba was only born with great strength and nothing else. However, under Mordor's guidance, Zong Ba's strength increased rapidly and was extremely fierce.
Zong Ba didn't like hammers and preferred to use a saber.
The saber in his hand was specially forged. It was six feet long, and the handle was one foot and six inches long. The blade was sharp and thick.
It was a long saber.
In particular, the blade was extremely sharp.
Zong Ba was illiterate. In the army, other than military drills, he was sharpening his saber. When he had nothing to do, he would sharpen the saber in his hand. As a result, his saber could cut through hairs.
Now, Zong Ba was charging out with his saber.
Moreover, he had never ridden a horse.
He sprinted on foot.
After all, Zong Ba was too tall and heavy, especially in the army, there were no particularly good warhorses for the time being. As a result, Zong Ba simply killed on foot. It was more suitable to fight on land.
Even when Li Xiao rushed over on his horse, Zong Ba didn't retreat at all.
Instead, he sprinted quickly.
He went straight for Li Xiao's warhorse.
Li Xiao saw Zong Ba charging towards him earlier, but he saw that Zong Ba didn't dodge and went straight for him. He immediately sneered. Zong Ba was courting death!
A warhorse's sprint was fast and powerful.
Going against the warhorses like this was akin to courting death.
"Giddy up!"
Li Xiao roared and shook the reins in his hand.
The warhorse that was quickly dismounted was even faster.
The two sides were facing each other. In the blink of an eye, they were less than three steps away. At this moment, Zong Ba suddenly leaped up. However, when he leaped, his body tilted slightly to the side. He raised the long saber in his hand and swung it horizontally.
This was a swing of the saber.
It wasn't a slash.
The long saber whistled through the air and in the blink of an eye, it hit the warhorse's head.
Bang!
A dull sound of impact suddenly rang out. The impact was so powerful that the warhorse let out a neigh before toppling to the side.
Li Xiao had a rough understanding of martial arts. His little bit of martial arts was not enough to protect himself at all. As a result, when the warhorse fell, he couldn't protect himself at all. He couldn't get rid of the warhorse and fell to the ground with it.
Li Xiao fell to the ground. He was lucky. When he fell to the ground, only one of his legs was pressed down by the warhorse. Therefore, he exerted force on his leg and pulled it out.
Li Xiao endured the pain in his body and was about to leave.
However, the moment he stood up, he saw Zong Ba standing beside him, glaring at him like a tiger eyeing its prey.
Zong Ba landed on the ground and stood next to the warhorse.
He didn't attack immediately.
This was because Li Xiao was already in his hands.
Just as Li Xiao was about to leave, Zong Ba grinned, revealing a mouth full of white teeth. The large saber in his hand had already been lifted up and ruthlessly slashed out horizontally.
A cold light flashed in the air.
The cold light flashed, and Li Xiao felt his scalp go numb. He wanted to dodge, but before he could, the blade slashed across his neck.
Puff!
Blood splattered everywhere.
Li Xiao's head flew away under the impact of the blood.
At this moment, Li Xiao still had a trace of consciousness.
He hadn't completely lost consciousness.
However, when Li Xiao saw the scene in front of him, he flew up into the air. When he saw that his body was still on the ground, his eyes went wide, and his face filled with disbelief.
Bang!
Suddenly, Li Xiao's head hit the ground.
Li Xiao's head shook as if it had been stewed. In the next moment, everything in front of him blurred. Everyone's line of sight completely disappeared. All the brilliance had completely disappeared.
Everything returned to normal.
After killing Li Xiao, Zong Ba didn't say much. He raised his saber and continued to charge forward.
At this moment, Zong Ba's body was covered in blood.
Li Xiao's personal guards, who were escorting him on his journey, were all dumbfounded. Seeing that they were surrounded and about to be killed, and Li Xiao was dead, many of them gave up resisting and threw away their weapons to surrender.
All of them admitted defeat.
Zong Ba didn't care about that. He led the soldiers and continued to charge forward with his saber.
"Kill! Today is your chance to make a contribution.
Today is your chance to kill the enemy and make a contribution.
Kill! "
Zong Ba shouted loudly.
The long saber in Zong Ba's hand continued to rise and fall, killing one enemy after another. As the enemies were killed one by one, the entire formation of Li Xiao and the others became a mess, completely losing the ability to fight.
Zong Ba didn't care about that.
He only wanted to kill the enemy.
When Zong Ba raised his saber to kill, wherever he went, no one could stop him. In the blink of an eye, he killed so many people around him that they all avoided Zong Ba, not daring to face him.
At this moment, Zong Ba looked around and suddenly saw Zhang Zhongjing.
Zong Ba's eyes lit up.
It was another person who was dressed in an extraordinary way.
He must be someone of high status.
Zong Ba shook his horse's reins and urged his horse to chase after Zhang Zhongjing.
