Chapter 286: The South Gate is Broken, They Have No Way to Retreat
"General, the city gate below is about to be broken." A soldier stumbled up the stairs on the side of the tower and reported in a panic.
Han Yaojun pursed his lips, "Everyone go down together and kill the enemy with me!"
Chu Xi didn't say anything, he jumped up and jumped directly from the top of the wall. His easy movements like flying over the eaves and walls were as if he had wings, which was dazzling to watch.
Her martial arts skills were so incredibly fast and light, and her agility was so stunning that it left people speechless.
Many soldiers were stunned and lay on the wall to watch for a while with their mouths wide open in disbelief.
How can a human being do this?
He flew over the eaves and walls, and still managed to keep his balance after spinning his body several times. He landed directly on the shoulder of one of the Western Chu soldiers and stepped on him lightly.
The tip of the sword in his hand turned from outward to inward, and then quickly wiped across the neck of the enemy soldier from Western Chu.
As for the soldier whose shoulder she stepped on, he did not delay either. He clamped the other's head hard and then turned around.
There was a sound of a crack in the neck, and the soldier who was stepped on by her had his pupils dilated and no longer focused. He stared blankly into the distance, and his neck even dropped...
The soldiers nearby were frightened by this scene.
Chu Xi's skills are extraordinary and are not something that ordinary soldiers like them can deal with.
Of course, the generals on the Western Chu side would not sit idly by and watch Chu Xi kill their soldiers wantonly.
When the generals of Western Chu faced Chu Xi, they usually couldn't last more than ten moves before being kicked away by Chu Xi.
Either kick them away or pierce their bodies with a sword.
Since they have already met on the battlefield, with life and death hanging in the balance, showing mercy would be giving the enemy a chance to hurt you.
Chu Xi injured and killed more than eight Western Chu generals in a row. By the ninth one, it was no longer a general she didn't know, but a semi-acquaintance, Qi Jianshu!
The spear in Qi Jianshu's hand had never been changed from beginning to end. The tip of the spear was also extremely sharp. If Chu Xi had not reacted quickly and taken off the scabbard from his waist with one hand, he would have been in trouble.
She blocked with her backhand holding the scabbard, stepped on Qi Jianshu's knee, leaped over, and quickly avoided Qi Jianshu's next move.
Her scabbard is also silver, and there is a special pattern engraved on it. The pattern...Qi Jianshu couldn’t understand it, but he just felt that it was a bit mysterious and beautiful.
This distraction only lasted for a moment, and he quickly collected his thoughts and concentrated on dealing with Chu Xi.
In his eyes, the young man in front of him was even more difficult to deal with than Qi Minsong.
The last time Qi Minsong fought with Chu Jiang, the strength he displayed was far superior to Chu Jiang's, but the opponent still lost to this young man's sword.
The boy hadn't changed his clothes for several days, and his robe was soaked in blood, almost turning completely red.
Qi Jianshu was good at using a spear but not a sword. Although he often fought with others at home, it was no match for fighting with real swords and guns.
But Chu Xi is the most skilled swordsman, and his sword moves are exquisite and superb.
It seemed that there was no need for any rest between each move. The moves were extremely dense, one after another, and too fast.
In the past, Chu Xi would never have imagined that one day he would be able to wield a sword so well, comparable to the martial arts scenes in TV dramas.
Qi Jianshu's spear was restricted, and his hand speed was far behind Chu Xi, so he was forced to retreat repeatedly by Chu Xi, and at the same time, he had several wounds on his hands and body.
The wound was made with great precision, neither too deep nor too shallow, not hurting the bone, but enough to ensure that he was scratched.
The swords were struck one after another with such high intensity that Qi Jianshu didn't even have time to defend himself, and the back of his hand was severely scratched.
As a cut appeared on the back of his hand, blood flowed out. Qi Jianshu almost lost his grip on the gun. He exerted force secretly, and the blood flowed down the gun barrel until it reached the tip of the gun...
The sword in Chu Xi's hand had already stabbed towards Qi Jianshu's chest, but was less than two inches away when it was blocked by the tip of a gun that suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Qi Minsong appeared at the right time. He not only blocked the sword tip from piercing Qi Jianshu's chest, but also exerted force, turned his hand back, and hit Chu Xi's chest with the spear horizontally.
Chu Xi's original attack was blocked, but he reacted quickly, bent sideways, and quickly moved away. This series of actions was completed quickly.
It's as if the body has formed a conditioned reflex and no time is needed to think.
Qi Jianshu was stunned. He thought he couldn't avoid the sword, but he didn't expect that Qi Minsong... would suddenly take action to save him.
Chu Xi touched the ground with the tip of the sword, stepped hard, and then retreated rapidly.
At the same time, he can also devote his energy to dealing with Qi Minsong's attacks.
The familiar moves seemed to have been practiced countless times and had long been engraved deep in the mind, without the need to deliberately recall them.
Just as Qi Jianshu was about to catch up, Chu Er blocked his way. He looked at her coldly and said, "Your opponent is me."
Qi Jianshu didn't know Chu Er, but Chu Er didn't need his answer. He just swung his sword and killed him.
The sword moves were extremely familiar, and he recognized them after just a few moves.
This guy...his moves are 70% similar to Chu Jiang's. He is either a member of the Chu family or one of Chu Jiang's followers and confidants.
Qi Jianshu was blocked by him and could not avoid him for the time being. Moreover, Chu Er was determined to stop him, so he had no choice but to fight with Chu Er.
Chu Er's eyes were calm and determined as he fought with Qi Jianshu, and they were temporarily evenly matched.
Being able to serve as Chu Jiang's personal guard and follower, he has learned literature and martial arts with him since childhood. Even if his martial arts skills cannot be on par with Chu Xi, they will not be too far behind.
"Are you Chu Jiang's personal guard?" Qi Jianshu recognized that Chu Er's moves were familiar and were 70% similar to Chu Jiang's. He asked while fighting.
"Yes." Chu Er had a blank expression on his face, which made people wonder if he had facial paralysis.
Qi Jianshu wanted to ask something, but seeing that Chu Er was keeping silent, he swallowed back all the questions he wanted to ask.
Besides, he didn't know what to ask.
He and Chu Jiang had only exchanged two moves. He was not familiar with this person and did not understand him. He only knew that his name was Chu Jiang, that he was the eldest son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, and that he was highly skilled in martial arts.
Beyond that, nothing is known.
He knew nothing, but he wanted Chu Jiang to survive, even though they were on opposite sides.
It would be a pity if such an outstanding person, a young man who is a few years younger than himself and has not yet reached adulthood, really had to live and die with the city of Xi'an.
Sixty thousand Western Chu soldiers rushed in quickly like a tide, and their momentum was fierce. The more than 7,000 people at the South Gate put up a tenacious resistance.
All the soldiers of the Great Zhou at the South Gate were fighting desperately. Even though they were on the verge of despair, they never took a single step back.
More than half of the people in the city had not left, so as soldiers they had no reason to retreat.
Where Yuan Qi, Yun Jiyu and others joined the battle, the Western Chu soldiers automatically surrounded them.
Since they couldn't defeat them alone, they resorted to siege and used human wave tactics to kill Yun Jiyu, Han Yaojun and others.
As for Chu Xi, he was entangled by Qi Minsong and couldn't get away.
The south gate was breached and they had nowhere to retreat.
