【Chapter 492】 Riding a tiger and making a yin move
When it comes to the slave Li Zhi, until this moment, Xiahoudun still has palpitations.
When his voice fell, he caught a glimpse of his younger brother Xiahou Yuan still staring at the few dead soldiers behind him.
Suddenly, Xiahoudun's face turned red, and he explained in a low voice: "Just now, it was this person who hid in the dark place on the wall and released cold arrows, waiting for an opportunity to shoot more than 70 of my men, and then tried to shoot me. Fortunately, I dodged in time, and received an arrow in my leg, but it was not a big deal; If I hesitate a little, I am afraid that I have already fallen under this man's arrow.
When he showed up, I wanted to kill him in one fell swoop. However, this person's martial arts are extremely strong, his skills are agile and weird, he comes and goes, and the two chains in his hands are extremely strong. He had just slain more than a dozen of my brothers, and I had lost most of my 150 brothers, and now there were only so many left! ”
After explaining the situation on his side with great difficulty, Xiahoudun felt very self-blaming in his heart, and felt that he had no face to see the elders of the family. In fact, he knew very well in his heart that he was indeed too anxious just now, and he was at the forefront of the first soldier, scurrying around in the wild grass, and he had no time to take care of the dead soldiers of the family behind him. If he had paid a little attention, he would have noticed that the number of people behind him was drastically decreasing, and he might have noticed the sound of arrows flying out of the shadows. It's a pity that he didn't look back, but loudly urged everyone to speed up their pace, so that the dead soldiers of the family who were left behind died one after another, but no one found out, and it wasn't until Li Zhi released an arrow to sneak attack him that his tracks were exposed.
Looking back now, Xiahoudun secretly blamed himself and regretted it.
However, this is already the case, no matter how much he regrets it, it is impossible for those dead family members to come back to life.
After listening to the eldest brother's story, Xiahou Yuan was secretly frightened, and looked down at the arrow wound on the eldest brother Xiahouyuan's right leg. But I saw that the wound was still oozing blood at this time, and the blood mixed with the rain, flowing along the thigh to the grass under my feet.
Seeing the bright red blood, Xiahou Yuan no longer had the heart to complain about his eldest brother.
As the brother of a mother's sibling, Xiahou Yuan knows a lot about his brother Xiahoudun's martial arts, the two brothers are comparable in martial arts, and their body sizes are similar, they are all worthy of entering the mid-level threshold of top generals, and they are already one of the few battlefield warriors in the world. However, tonight, the eldest brother was injured in Li Zhi's hands. It can be seen that Li Zhi is indeed very strong, and his martial arts skills are at least not weaker than his eldest brother, and he is also a master among the top generals, or even stronger.
Thinking of this, Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but feel a little bitter in his heart. He was no longer as confident as he had been in tonight's assassination of Li Li, but was faintly uneasy.
The eldest brother Xiahoudun met Li Zhi, a fierce general under Li Li. So who is the giant man you met?
Before that. Xiahou Yuan fought fiercely with the biao-shaped giant man for more than a dozen rounds, except for the four-knife volley slash from the start, he was almost completely at a disadvantage, and he was always chased and beaten by the biao-shaped giant, as if he only had the ability to parry but had no power to counterattack. By the time he and his eldest brother met just now, his hands had cracked. Bloodied and in pain, the giant man was almost unscathed, except for being covered in mud and water.
It can be seen from this. The difference in strength between the two sides is not ordinarily large, and the martial arts and strength possessed by the big man are all above his Xiahou Yuan. In this way, it means that even if the two brothers Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun join forces to fight against the enemy, they are not the opponents of Li Zhi and the giant man. If this is the case, does that mean that the assassination of Li Li has failed, and it is impossible to kill Li Li at all?
Quickly analyzing the shape in front of his eyes in his mind, Xiahou Yuan reminded softly: "Big brother, Li Zhi is certainly powerful, but big brother must not despise the giant man standing beside him. This reckless man's martial arts are extremely strong, extremely powerful, and his body seems to be thick and dull, but in fact he is extremely agile. Previously, he quietly followed behind my younger brother and wantonly attacked and killed my dead soldiers, and by the time I discovered his whereabouts, he had already killed more than forty people. All these people were killed by him with a single sword, and they were so quick and ruthless that these people didn't even scream for a while, and he cut off their necks in the middle of the confusion, and fell to the ground and died silently.
I fought him for more than a dozen rounds just now, and at first I was able to fight him, but then I couldn't withstand his extremely strong strength, and I was defeated and completely at a disadvantage. So I could only fight and retreat, I originally planned to join forces with my eldest brother to fight against this person, but I didn't expect that my eldest brother was also attacked here, and this person was able to be a slave Li Zhi with Lu Bu. In this way, the shape we are facing is very bad! ”
Xiahoudun nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "Yes, with the two people in front of us here, it is undoubtedly very difficult for us to kill Li Li's thief." Unfortunately, in the evening, for the sake of ease of movement, we left all the bows and crossbows on horseback on the other side of the river, so that we now have no other weapons to kill the enemy except the portable weapons in our hands!
Miaocai has always been quick and resourceful, what should we do in such a situation in front of us? Now we have leaked our identities and sacrificed the lives of more than 100 family members; After paying such a heavy price, if we can't kill Li Li, then how can we two brothers have the face to go back to meet the family elders, and how can we explain to Meng De?
Therefore, the virtuous brother does not need to scruples, and he can say whatever comes to mind. As long as the method is feasible, we can finally kill Li Li and the thief, even if all of us die here tonight, we will not hesitate! ”
"This 、、、、、、" Seeing that his brother's heart to kill Li Li was so resolute, as if he was swearing to kill Li Li, and he would not give up until he achieved his goal, Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but groan solemnly.
Xiahou Yuan had no doubts about the authenticity of his elder brother Xiahoudun's words, because he knew his own brother, just as his eldest brother also knew him. He knew that when the eldest brother Xiahoudun said this, he had already held the determination to kill Li Li at the cost of death, this is the fierceness and ruthlessness hidden in the bones of the eldest brother, not only ruthless to the enemy, but also ruthless to himself.
Thinking of Xiahou Yuan's fierceness and ruthlessness in his mind, Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly. In fact, he himself is the same as his eldest brother, the two brothers are in the same lineage, their temperament is quite similar, and their style of doing things is extremely similar.
The assassination of Li Li tonight has developed to the point where it is difficult to ride a tiger at this moment, not only Xiahoudun did not expect it, but even Xiahouyuan did not expect it. However, things have happened, and there is no choice but to face it.
Xiahou Yuan thought about stopping for a moment just now, and completely gave up robbing and killing Li Li. As far as he could, he got rid of the entanglement of Li Zhi and the giant man, and returned to the other side to escape on horseback. If he retreated like this, with himself and his eldest brother and one hundred and fifty family dead, there would be no problem in rushing to the bridge; No matter how fierce Li Zhi and the biao-shaped giant man were, they couldn't stop so many of them from rushing to kill. After all, there are only two of them, can they block ten or twenty, and can they also block the combined attack of hundreds of people?
It's a pity that Xiahou Yuan knows that his thoughts are pure wishful thinking, not to mention that the eldest brother and Li Li have long had a vendetta, just that the identity of his group has been leaked. With this section, he and the others have no way to retreat this time, otherwise they will not be able to explain to the lord Cao Cao. In addition, up to now, more than half of the Xiahou family's dead and wounded have been killed or injured. If you stop there, not to mention whether these dead people will be resentful because of this. Just the elders of the family can't pass that level.
Because some of the dead in the Xiahou family were members of the family lineage. A large part of them are the sons and nephews of the relatives and friends of the Xiahou family, and the rest are the descendants of the servants and generals who have been loyal to the Xiahou family for generations, all of whom are cronies who break bones and tendons, otherwise they will not be selected into the family dead. Now that half of these people are dead, how can they be convinced if they can't give an explanation to the elders and clansmen in the clan. In the future, who can guarantee that these old men with dead sons and nephews will still continue to be loyal to the Xiahou family?
Weighing the pros and cons, Xiahou Yuan noticed Li Zhi and the biao-shaped giant man out of the corner of his eye, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and the old god was waiting for him and the others to make the first move.
Seeing this, Xiahou Yuan suddenly thought about it. I already have a case in my heart. Since the two people in front of them are not in a hurry at all, it means that they are also afraid of their group and dare not let go, and the person who can make these two people have scruples must be their lord Li Li. What does this mean?
Immediately, Xiahou Yuan whispered to Xiahou Yuan: "Big brother, the purpose of our trip is to kill Li Li, eradicate the troubles by the way, and kill all his entourage, so that the whole operation will leave no trace. But until now, we have not seen Li Li himself, but he has confronted two of his followers, so is it not a waste of the basics and self-chaos.
Therefore, the little brother is foolish, we will no longer entangle with these two people from this moment on, and immediately kill into the house. After entering the courtyard, a team of ten people dispersed to every corner of the house, so that Li Li and the others could not take care of it, and then they killed the men, not the women and children, but gathered the women and children, and these women and children could be taken hostages when they had to 、、、、、、"
"Is it useful to take women and children hostage?" Xiahoudun suddenly interjected.
"This 、、、 hey, hey, hey!" After Xiahou Yuan was slightly stunned, he couldn't help but smile, and suddenly remembered that his eldest brother had been held hostage by Chen Liuzhang Chao, but the lord Cao Cao ordered not to take care of the safety of the hostages, nor to rescue the hostages, and directly ordered the soldiers to attack immediately. Since then, the Yanzhou army has a rule of "not saving hostages", and since then, no one has attempted to take Cao Cao's family and relatives hostage and coerce Cao Cao.
Thinking of this, Xiahou Yuan smiled dumbly and said, "Big brother doesn't know anything. Although the Xiliang army is fierce and invincible, the Xiliang people are the most affectionate and righteous, and most of them have justice in their hearts, and they can't see others killing women, children and the elderly in vain. Although Li Li is a traitor in the world and kills people like hemp, I heard that he was surprised when he was happy with his noble son a year ago, and he returned home on time every day for half a year and never stayed overnight. It can be seen that Li Liqi has a clear conscience and attaches great importance to women and children, and he is like two people when he fights on the battlefield.
Therefore, if we want to kill Li Li in one fell swoop this time, we must do whatever it takes. As long as it works, or if it is likely to be useful, we must give it a try, and we must not be soft-hearted and have the kindness of a woman! ”
Seeing that Xiahouyuan still had a hesitant look on his face, Xiahouyuan's tone paused slightly, and then said, "Big brother also saw it. With the supreme skills and ruthless methods of Li Zhi and the Biao Giant Man, even if we are one hundred and fifty-two people together, we may not be able to kill them, and they will even kill us one by one in the dogfight. Therefore we are fighting them with dignity and with little chance of success; In that case, extraordinary means must be used. In the troubled times, there are endless wars, there are dead people everywhere in the world, and what does it matter if there are a few people in this mansion!
From ancient times: the strong are respected, and the winner is king. As long as we can kill Li Li, then we will naturally have the final say on the matter, and if we don't say it ourselves, who will know what method we use to kill him? What's more, this method may not be useful, Liao is better than nothing, let's give it a try, if it works, then the more than 100 dead soldiers who died before before will not die in vain. What does the big brother think? ”
Xiahoudun seemed to have an unbearable look in his eyes, but he said in a low voice: "Just according to what you say, let's give it a try." Although the means are not very bright, in order to deal with Li Li, there is only one way to deal with it. Anyway, we were going to kill everyone in the house, but now it's just a different way to use them a little bit. ”
Before the words fell, Xiahoudun suddenly said to Xiahouyuan with some feelings: "Miaocai, until today I didn't know why Meng De liked to take you to fight with the army, and let me stay in the rear. Because you, like Meng De, are unscrupulous in order to achieve the end, compared to the generals who fight on the battlefield, you are the real ruthless people. ”
"Big brother, 、、、、、、 you" Xiahou Yuan's expression changed greatly, his cheeks were hot, but he was speechless. He knew that the eldest brother Xiahoudun had always been unable to let go of the fact that he was kidnapped by Zhang Chao after being drunk in the past, and he didn't think that the eldest brother would say it so bluntly today, which was really much beyond Xiahouyuan's expectations.
Xiahoudun shook his head and said: "Miaocai doesn't have to think about it, Brother Wei didn't mean to accuse you, he just felt it, and he didn't deliberately target you." Well, don't think about it, it's important to get down to business. What to do next, I listen to you, you just give me direct orders! ”
Xiahou Yuan calmed down, and after thinking about it for a while, he walked to Xiahou Yuan's side and whispered in his ear.
"Okay, that's it!" When Xiahoudun heard this, he immediately nodded in response, and then ordered in a low voice to the soldiers behind him: "You immediately lead a hundred dead soldiers to climb over the wall and enter the mansion, and then a team of ten people will arrest the women and children, and kill all the men without leaving one." Go ahead! ”
At this time, Xiahou Yuan suddenly added: "Yangzhou is hot and humid in summer, and food should not be stored for a long time, so many houses have cellars for refrigerated food. If you don't see anyone when you go in, you must have taken refuge in the cellar, be careful, and get them out for me!" ”
