Chapter 369 Death God's Long Sword

On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, the war in Wanqiu Town had entered a white-hot stage. Wang Yan, Ma Chengfang, Liu Zongmin and others worked together to besiege Wanqiu Town. Qiao Beiming and Jin Shifeng placed their troops around Wanqiu Town, forming a desperate defense.

If you can stand at a high place to observe, you can clearly see the entire battlefield. The troops of the Beijing camp surrounded Wanqiu Town, and the defense circle was pressed smaller and smaller, while the peasant army squeezed the defense line of the Beijing camp from the north and south and west with a huge advantage. It can be clearly seen that the Beijing camp was squeezed narrower and narrower, and the entire arc defense line was flattened.

Liu Zongmin has now made great contributions to becoming a commander of thousands of men, but he has not changed much. Every time there is a war, he must lead by example. The sword in his hand is like a night ghost, and I don’t know how many lives he has taken away. Liu Zongmin has always been responsible for attacking Taojiaying Village in the north of the town. Taojiaying was built on a high slope and became a natural barrier to the north of Wanqiu Town. Since taking Wanqiu Town, Jingying has arranged a large number of troops here. Taojiaying Village has a very advantageous geographical location, but the village is in ruins and cannot provide too much help to the defense. However, the troops coming from Tianmu Mountain were blocked by Taojiaying Village for two days.

A small Taojiaying village was just a 20,000 army defeated several times, which made Liu Zongmin very angry. At the entrance of the village, the house had already collapsed, and the adobe and wooden stakes formed a temporary high wall. There were countless corpses lying near the high wall. The wall had already been stained with blood, and it looked like a bloody silk belt. With a long knife in his hand, Liu Zongmin roared, looking like a madman, "Brothers, follow me, and you will rush in no matter what."

Behind the earth wall, hundreds of soldiers from the Beijing camp were on high alert. A middle-aged man in the crowd looked cold and quietly at everything in the distance. After seeing the person clearly, his mouth slightly raised, revealing an imperceptible sneer, "Do you Liu Zongmin? Since you have met, let's decide the outcome here."

His voice was very small, and it was inauspicious in this messy battlefield. His name was Nie Yang, but he was just a small boss, but he, in the most dangerous time, blocked the gap and guarded Taojiaying Village. Since he arrived at Taojiaying Village, Nie Yang used all his strength to prevent the peasant army from stepping over the line. Nie Yang had no kindness towards the peasant army in front of him, and had only bloody means.

Nie Yang hated these people. He would never forget the tragic situation he saw when he came to Taojiaying Village. Taojiaying Village is the largest village near Lin'an. There were more than 200 families, but under the sweeping of bandits, there were more than 1,000 people in the village, and in the end there were only more than 300 people. The collapsed houses, empty streets, and the crying of white-haired people sending black-haired people. The desolation makes people feel in love. No one knows that Nie Yang is actually the young man who walked out of Taojiaying Village. His home is in Taojiaying. When he opened the door, he felt empty and fear. There was no laughter and joy in the once huge courtyard. His parents were gone, his wife and a pair of children were gone, and his sister, who had not yet married, also committed suicide on the beam.

Is this the rebel army? No, this is not the rebel army, this is just a group of beasts. As long as you are alive, you will not let the bandits take a step forward.

The wind was a little strong, blowing some people's eyes red. They shrank in the corner, their eyes were numb and fierce. They held all kinds of weapons in their hands, and their clothes were even more ragged. What's even more terrifying was that there were some women. They were survivors of the Tao family camp. When Nie Yang came back, they also took the initiative to join in.

"Roar...Roar..." Under the leadership of Liu Zongmin, thousands of peasant soldiers let out amazing roars. They stepped on the corpses on the ground and rushed towards the high wall of Taojiaying. Arrows shot over scattered, and the people in front fell to the ground. However, the people behind seemed to have not seen half of them, stepped on their companions' bodies and continued to move forward. Finally, they stepped onto the high wall, and the adobe moaned painfully.

The soldiers who had already ambushed behind the earth wall also rushed out, and the weapons in their hands were all out. The peasant army that rushed up first was swept down. After the offensive was blocked, Liu Zongmin was also shocked. After careful observation, he could see clearly what was going on. He suddenly saw dozens of strange weapons on the earth wall. The weapons were like swords that were several times enlarged, and the hilts were wooden sticks thicker than their thighs. Each big sword was held by more than a dozen people, and the big sword swept over, like plowing them on the ground. Such a knife must be very heavy. If you resist, the person you touched would be either dead or injured. As expected, the big sword swept back and forth, just like mowing grass. The peasant army rushed up was killed and injured, and the rest of the people wailed and rolled down.

No wonder he hadn't broken through Taojiaying Village after fighting for so long. He really had some reliance. Liu Zongmin was a person who didn't believe in evil. He exerted force with his legs and rushed forward, trying to blockade him by speed by over the long sword, but the arrows flying in secret destroyed his plan. In order to avoid the arrows, he could only slow down. As soon as the speed slowed down, the blade that was magnified countless times swept over. Liu Zongmin was also very awesome, and he actually stared at his eyes and held the knife to block it.

With a clang, sparks flew everywhere, and I felt the tiger's mouth numb, and I flew backwards in a twisted posture. After all, I could not defeat the power of more than a dozen people.

Several personal soldiers rushed up to protect Liu Zongmin, and finally snatched him back. Looking at his right hand, the tiger's mouth was already bursting with blood. Liu Zongmin was even a little scared. If it weren't for his ability, he would have been cut in half by the big blade.

Liu Zongmin retreated, but the attack had to continue. The King of Chuang had already issued a death order. No one would have thought of having a good life if he didn't drive away the officers and soldiers of Wanqiu Town. When Liu Zongmin treated the wound, the Three-eyed Snake Zonglin continued to attack the Tao family camp. The Three-eyed Snake Zonglin was a bandit, and there was nothing else to do in war, just Chong Chong. When Liu Zongmin returned to the Tao family camp again, he saw a mountain of corpses in front of the earth wall, which was made up of flesh and blood of peasant brothers.

The two sides fought fiercely, and no one had time to deal with the corpses. The more and more corpses accumulated, they piled up into mountains. Liu Zongmin stared at him in anger. He had already tried to tell others with blood that it was not advisable to attack. Unexpectedly, the waste Zong Lin was still rushing to the ground.

Walking through the camp, I clearly felt that my brothers were already a little decadent. No, I had to change my method. If I didn’t fight this way, my morale would collapse first.

Zong Lin was leaning against the tent and feeling sulky. Liu Zongmin walked in and took away the wine glass from his hand. Zong Lin's temper was not very good, and he immediately glared and said, "Old Liu, what are you doing?"

"What are you doing? The war ahead is urgent, do you still have the heart to drink? Zong Lin, if you don't want to be unlucky, then listen to me!" Liu Zongmin sat next to him with ruthlessness. Zong Lin was dissatisfied, "Why should I listen to you?"

"If you can't defeat Tao Family Camp tomorrow, do you know how King Chuang will deal with us? You should understand the temper of King Chuang!" Liu Zongmin glanced at him. After hearing this, Zong Lin immediately shut up. Gao Yingxiang has never been a generous person. He has always been punished very strictly for those who are not fighting effectively. Zonglin and Liu Zongmin are different. He is not reliable either, but Liu Zongmin is Li Zicheng's confidant, and Li Zicheng will protect him when something happens.

After thinking it through, I didn't care about my previous disagreement, "Old Liu, what do you think you should do? As long as I can chew off this hard bone in Taojiaying, I will listen to you."

"Okay, gather all the bows and arrows in your hand to let people find the things that lead to the fire, and the wine you keep in your hand. Remember to tie the straw and firewood into small bundles..."

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Liu Zongmin's eyes. If he hadn't been forced to do so, he wouldn't have wanted to use such a ruthless move. After a day of fierce battle, both sides were already very tired, but Liu Zongmin obviously had never thought of stopping the attack. After nightfall, he led a team of men to touch Taojiaying, but he was not busy with the attack, but made a gesture to let his subordinates act as planned.

After approaching the earth wall, Liu Zongmin's men threw the bundles of firewood in their hands. Only a dozen steps were standing opposite here, and the adult man could easily throw it over. Then the wine was poured, and the wine fell to the ground and shattered, making a crackling sound. At this time, the soldiers guarding near the earth wall also discovered the situation. Nie Yang rushed over and saw so much firewood and the strong smell of wine lees, and a bad idea suddenly appeared.

Before we could speak, there were more Mars in the sky, which fell in a blink of an eye. The dry firewood straw, wine, and arrows with fire fell down, instantly turning the earth wall into a wall of fire. People who were close enough to hide had no time to hide, and in a blink of an eye, many people ignited. Fortunately, there were many people around, and the fire on those people was quickly put out.

Nie Yang's heart sank, and he almost didn't think much about it, shouting to the people around him: "Don't look at everyone, retreat quickly, and withdraw back to the village!"

In just a blink of an eye, Liu Zongmin had already led the peasant army forward to rush up to the earth wall, and the two sides were close by a fire wall. Liu Zongmin could not rush for the time being, but equally, the big knife blockade created by Nie Yang could not be used.

The fire wall soon disappeared into the night, but the earth wall defense line carefully built by Nie Yang fell into the hands of the peasant army. Liu Zongmin did not busy attacking, but rested on the spot. Both sides understood that after dawn, life and death would be decided.

Time flies quickly. When there was a trace of whiteness on the sky, the war once again poisoned Taojiaying. Liu Zongmin and Zonglin led their troops to rush into the village and lost the earth wall. Taojiaying Village seemed so vulnerable. In the original Nie family courtyard, Nie Yang's eyes were red when he looked at the former elders, "Everyone, you go, you don't need you for the next thing."

A young man held a spear and said angrily: "Brother Nie, we won't leave, we want to take revenge... Those thieves harmed my parents. If they don't avenge, they will not be human..."

"All go, you all die, then our Tao Family Camp will be really finished. Nie's responsibilities are, but you are different. If the village is destroyed, you can build it again. If everyone dies, there will be nothing left. Let's go, don't let the blood of your brothers flow in vain!" Nie Yang walked out of the house with a knife, and didn't know if he could return here again. The former home was so warm.

Nie Yang's refusal was moving, and the young man looked at his back and swallowed even more slowly. Maybe Nie Yang was right or wrong, but at this moment, all the people in the Tao family camp were willing to listen to Nie Yang's words.

In just one hour, Taojiaying Village became a purgatory field, fighting everywhere, either killing people or being killed. The most prosperous village in the north of Lin'an became a Shura slaughterhouse. No one had ever thought about why human life became so cheap, and no one had ever thought about why the rebel army was so cruel.

Nie Yang waved the steel knife in his hand and cut off the head of a peasant army leader. He was not too excited, but only the flame of revenge. In the narrow alley, the humid air and the strong smell of blood kept drilling into his nose. A strong man stepped over, pointed at Nie Yang, and shouted coldly: "It's you... it's you who killed so many of me?"

"It's me, Nie Yang, the chief of a Qianshi Camp, killed many people? I wish I could kill you together! Liu Zongmin, I recognize you, you were the one who brought people to harm Tao's camp!"

"So what?" Liu Zongmin did not deny that although he didn't want to do such a thing, the King of Chuang ordered the plunder of supplies and all his subordinates went to rob him, and he couldn't stop him. Many times, it was not that he, Liu Zongmin, could do whatever he wanted. But Liu Zongmin was a man, and he had to admit what he had done, "It seems that we must die today. Nie Yang, you are a man, but it's a pity!"

Nie Yang suddenly tore open the robe on his body and wrapped the cloth strip around his hand. The hilt of the knife was almost tightly wrapped with his hands. Liu Zongmin snorted coldly, without giving in. His body was slightly bowed, and Nie Yang stared at Liu Zongmin like a bloodthirsty cheetah. Suddenly, he moved. While running, he kicked on the wall, and with the force, the steel knife slammed down hard. Without any fancy or defense, he was completely determined to die, and he fought to kill Liu Zongmin even if both sides were injured.

Liu Zongmin didn't want to die here. With a long sword, he barely blocked the knife, but the tiger's mouth hurt. If it weren't for the injury of both hands, he would have killed this person. In a state of hesitation, Nie Yang had already pounced on him like a mad dog. The alley was very narrow and his body could not be used, so both sides could only fight head-on. After slashing with one knife, Liu Zongmin was probably defending.

With a clang, the two of them passed by. Liu Zongmin only felt a severe pain in his abdomen, and blood flowed down instantly. Fortunately, he was hiding in time, and the wound was not too deep and could not kill his life. Nie Yang also failed to get it right. He was scratched on his shoulders, and blood stained his arms red.

"Liu Zongmin...whether you die or I die today..."

Liu Zongmin licked the blood on the corner of his mouth and smiled coldly, "You must be the one who died..."
