Chapter 923 The Sky Is Full of Dark Clouds
Chapter 925
Three thousand Donghai dead men entered the city through the west gate, and they stood guard according to the city gate.
Li Xing's beautiful dream was awakened, and he was stunned for a long time before he realized what was going on. Immediately afterwards, the city defense army was assembled to take back the lost city gate from Li Xingzai.
Although the army was transferred to attack the East Navy, Yangzhou City was empty, but it was only relative. Compared with the three thousand dead soldiers in Li Xingzai's hands, Yangzhou soldiers could still be called countless.
Therefore, for Li Xingzai, the situation is not optimistic.
Li Xing personally went into battle.
He ordered the defenders of Yangzhou City to launch a fierce attack on Li Xing, and at any cost, Li Xingzai was bound to be killed.
The two sides fought fiercely at night, and Yangzhou soldiers rushed up like a tide, and were blocked back by layers.
Ma Chao charged at the front, Li Xingzai commanded from the center, the two cooperated fully, and the soldiers under him fought desperately to block round after round of storms.
But such a bloody battle is naturally accompanied by tragic casualties. Although everyone in the Eastern Navy is vying for the first place, all of them are brave, but they are running towards death one after another.
Li Xingzai frowned, his mood became heavier. With 3,000 people marching in a hurry, although they rushed to Yangzhou City in a race against time and successfully opened the city gate, it was indeed a bit risky to defend the gap with 3,000 people.
Looking at the situation in front of me, I can't hold on for long, and I don't know when Qi Jiguang will be able to arrive. If he loses the city gate before he arrives, then the whole game will be played with all his heart and brains, but in the end it will only be a failure, and the bamboo basket will be empty.
However, it is useless to think about these things at present. At this point, there is no other way but to stick to it.
Li Xingzai gave up command and joined the battle in person. As a result, the morale of the East Navy was boosted, and it once again blocked the enemy's charge.
Li Xing found Li Xingzai at a glance, and he was really offended. After seeing Li Xingzai, his eyes spit fire.
"Let the arrows, let the arrows, and let no one go."
Three thousand people dare to beat my city of Yangzhou, so don't take me seriously. Li Xing was also cruel in his heart, asking how did Li Xingzai come and die here.
Arrows flew like rain, smashing at the East Navy. The Eastern Navy used the materials on the spot and used the shields discarded by the city gate to resist. Even so, it was heavy.
People kept falling in front of Li Xingzai, and some people didn't even have time to let out a cry before dying.
Thanks to the good soldiers that Qi Jiguang has trained, even if he has reached this situation, he still cannot retreat. They fought on the corpses of their comrades, their blood mingled with the blood of their enemies, but none of them retreated.
Li Xingzai burst into arrogance, and suddenly roared, saying:
"My sons, fight with me. Even if you are a ghost, I will take you to kill another hundred thousand ghost soldiers."
"Roar."
The dead man in the East China Sea responded with a roar, rushing into a bullfight for a while, and even the countless Yangzhou City Defense Forces were overwhelmed.
Ma Chao felt that he should do something. With a bow and arrow, he aimed at Li Xing in the crowd, and an arrow like chasing the stars and the moon hit Li Xing.
Li Xing's heart skipped a beat, and he almost fell to the ground in fright. Thanks to the protection of the personal guards, one person blocked the arrow with his body.
Ma Chao's expression did not change, he drew the bow again, and another arrow flew towards Li Xing.
In a short moment, he fired seven arrows in a row, killing seven people. If it weren't for his shoulders being unable to withstand the gravity, he could have slaughtered Li Xing's personal guards with just one bow and one bow.
Li Xing breathed a sigh of relief, Li Xingzai's subordinates really have fierce people.
Facing the ferocious East Navy, Li Xing launched a more violent attack. Even with the corpses, he would destroy Li Xingzai.
Manpower is sometimes poor, and in the face of an enemy that is several times his own, sacrifice is inevitable. A large number of people died, and a large number of fellow brothers fell in front of him. The battle lasted from night to dawn. When the east was white, there were less than a hundred soldiers standing beside Li Xingzai.
From the fierce battle of 3,000 people to only 100 people, Li Xingzai, Ma Chao, and Xu Wentian were all wounded.
By this time, Li Xing had slowed down the attack, and there was really nothing to fight. One more round of strong attack would destroy the enemy.
Li Xingzai leaned on the overlord to point the golden spear, looked around, and was surrounded by dead brothers. Even the living are haggard. This group of people have been fighting all the way from Luofeng City to the present, and they have long been exhausted, and they have been able to survive until now, completely relying on the willpower in their hearts.
What remains unchanged is their hot eyes, which tells the enemy that they still want to fight, but they are still not willing to admit defeat.
Facing this scene, Li Xingzai suddenly burst into a burst of laughter. Overlord pointed his spear, pointed at Li Xing, and said:
"Can you dare to fight with me?"
Everyone is Li Jiaerlang, and the blood of belligerence is also flowing in their bodies. To be honest, Li Xing and Li Xingzai did not want to see the empire evolve into what it is today.
Facing Li Xingzai, who was full of hideous eyes, Li Xing sighed softly and said, "Good nephew, you can go on the road in peace, and I will take care of the old mountains and rivers."
The empire was destroyed by the hands of the Li family, of course, Li Jiaerlang had to clean it up again. But in the end, it was Li Xing or Li Xingzai who represented the empire and Ye Yuanhuo in the final battle. In fact, there was not much difference.
Thinking of this, the golden gun in Li Xingzai's hand slowly fell, and a burst of exhaustion surged up from the bottom of his heart.
"I have something to say, please listen carefully." Li Xingzai said.
Li Xing nodded slowly, he really wanted to hear Li Xingzai's last words.
"The Li family is guilty of the world, because we have already killed too many people." Li Xingzai opened the dead bodies on the ground. Some of them were from the Eastern Navy, some from the Jiangnan Soldiers. They were both young and tired. Except for the clothes on their bodies, there was not much difference.
"I only hope that one day, so many people don't have to die. What the Li family owes the world, we should pay it back slowly." As he spoke, Li Xingzai suddenly raised his voice: "After I die, the East Navy will no longer be able to join forces with Jiangnan soldiers. As an enemy, everyone can serve Jiangnan as much as possible, only hope that the empire will not fall into the hands of aliens, and only hope that the people of the world grow in peace."
"The Li family really owes the world too much." Li Xing also raised his voice: "After I die, it's the same, everyone can no longer be enemies with the East China Sea, and you can all do things for the East China Sea to bring peace to the world."
"No word yet." Li Xingzai raised his head, his eyes firm as iron.
Li Xing was stunned, suddenly feeling deceived. Did he underestimate this nephew? He was someone who would never give up easily without playing the last card.
Did he really admit defeat?
Suddenly there was a rush of hooves, and the sound was from far to near. A large army outside the city gate rushed on its way and kept approaching Yangzhou City.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Someone hurriedly reported, "The East Navy has come over."
Li Xing was stunned, only to feel that the sky was covered with dark clouds.
Li Xingzai persisted until the last moment. At the most critical moment, Qi Jiguang led the army to arrive.
