7, the jackal and tiger are attacked by swords

The sound of the horn sounded "whimper" and a group of soldiers holding swords rushed out from the corner of the streets in front and behind.

On the battlefield, especially in ambush and street fighting, on the one hand, it is trapped in the backwardness of communication methods, and on the other hand, it is limited to terrain blocking and distance. It is difficult to achieve the effect of ambushing at the same time through the method of soldiers' orders and flag changes.

Therefore, there must be a death-killer who lure the enemy into the depths and spy on the enemy's situation. At critical moments, by blowing the horn and passing the trumpets, the ambushers arranged at different positions and distances can receive signals at the shortest time, launch an assault together, and pounce on the enemy.

Some of the soldiers who rushed out were holding bows and arrows. After running to the road, they opened their bows and led the arrows and shot towards Li Ru.

The arrows were sparse and not dense, but at close range, they were strong. The guard who was protecting Li Ru was attacked on the neck. His body shook, his throat clattered, and he fell to Li Ru's body. The blood spilled out instantly splashed red in Li Ru's crown belt.

"Stop them!"

Li Ru, whose hair and beard were dyed with blood, did not care about sorting it out, and panickedly directed the guards beside him to resist, while he rolled and crawled, stumbled towards the ox cart behind him.

"Kill Li Ru first!"

The red-faced soldier saw that Li Ru had far more escorts than him at first, and did not take his few of his soldiers to pounce on him in advance. Instead, he waited until he met with the soldiers who rushed out of the corner behind and rushed over in the crowd.

Now, although Li Ru, the main person to be killed today, was drawn out by him and was in a mess when he was attacked, he was finally a person who had seen a large formation. He was not only agile, but also slow, and he rolled and crawled towards the ox cart like oil. Although he arranged for soldiers to cut off the retreat route and flew around him, he still couldn't help but shout loudly and remind his archers.

Today, in order not to attract attention, their ambushers only carried short soldiers such as swords and swords when they left the camp during the day, and even had a few bows and arrows. In addition, there were no horses, and they were slightly inferior to Li Ru's guards. Don't be entangled by these guards who were worth a few rewards. Instead, they let the general run away and the main master who was secretly ordered to be killed.

After receiving a reminder from the red-faced sergeant, several archers turned their objects one after another, raised their bows and shot them, and whistled the arrows that broke free from the bowstrings, crossed the hasty wall of human beings formed by Li Ru's guards, and flew backwards.

"oops--"

Seeing that Li Ru was about to run to the front of the ox cart, he was shot on the shoulder by a flying arrow, and his shoulder seemed to be stabbed by a sharp sword. A severe pain immediately came. Li Ru's steps staggered and fell directly in front of the ox cart.

Fortunately, his coachman had already rushed forward and pulled Li Ru, who was shot down, to the edge of the ox cart in just two seconds.

Li Ru's face was sweating profusely, looking back at the other group of ambushed soldiers behind him, and only a few guards could not stop these people at all. He forced himself to hold back the pain on his shoulders and shouted at the coachman and said:

"Help me get in the car, hurry up, drive forward!"

"ah?"

The coachman had never seen such a scene. He was so chaotic that he had no idea what Li Ru meant. He had already mechanically supported Li Ru onto the ox cart under Li Ru's repeated urging, and climbed onto the shaft of the cart himself, holding the reins and whip.

"Ga, go away quickly!"

According to Li Ru's intention, the coachman whipped the cow's buttocks hard, trying to drive the livestock that was usually gentle and gentle to rush forward. However, after seeing his own guard who was still struggling to resist, he couldn't help but add another reminder in panic.

The guards who struggled to resist received a reminder from behind. When they looked back, they could move away and hurriedly avoided. Only a few guards who had been trapped in a heavy siege had no psychological understanding and nowhere to dodge.

"Stop the ox cart, shoot the driver first, shoot the driver first! Cut the ox legs, chop the ox legs!"

Because the ambush did not carry the long soldiers and had no way to line up with spears to resist the running bulls, the ambush with swords and swords saw the ox cart rushing over, and subconsciously dodged to both sides like Li Ru's guards.

This fell into the eyes of the red-faced soldier, and he suddenly felt anxious. He saw that the key point was to shoot the driver who kept urging the ox to plow the ox first. As for the ox legs that were pounding the ox with a sword in his hand, he shouted loudly, but he was not so stupid as to be a mantis chariot and went to stop a ox head-on.

Li Ru, who was leaning against the carriage, heard the red-faced soldier calling for command loudly, and then saw the ambush in front that could not dodge from both sides, trying to cut off the cow's legs with swords from the side. The running cow also felt the obstacles and dangers ahead. Although his driver kept urging, his speed still slowed down a little.

"Run over!"

Li Ru, whose robe was stained with blood and his crown was lost, shouted this sentence at a critical moment. I don’t know whether he was giving an order to the driver or cheering the life-saving livestock, his movements were not slow. He took out a short dagger from somewhere, grabbed the driver’s position, stabbed it hard at the cow’s buttocks, and stabbed it several times in one breath.

"Moo--"

The old cow driving was in pain and raised his head and screamed, then it seemed to transform into an iron cavalry and rushed towards the crowd ahead with the horns. As the horns rose, the two ambushers who had not completely escaped to the side were instantly broken and were thrown out from a distance.

The old cow was not slow to catch up. Whether it was Li Ru's guards or ambushers in front, they were knocked down by the injured and galloping bull and kicked out. The ambushers on both sides who wanted to cut the legs of the cow could not catch up. The sword only struck the carriage, and the arrows shot at the coachman also lost their targets and pierced on the thick carriage wooden boards.

At this time, after the ox plowed a bloody road in the crowd, it continued to run wildly, completely leaving everyone far behind the car.

Li Ru didn't know where the short dagger in his hand was thrown away when he was charging and breaking through. He had already retracted back into the carriage in advance, leaning against the carriage, holding the wound with one hand and holding the carriage with the other, enduring the pain caused by the violent bumps and undulations of the ox carriage, with a very hideous expression.

When the disaster came, he would not care about the lives of the guards who followed his orders and resisted tightly. If he had not left the driver to control the injured and ran wildly after running, Li Ru would have even stabbed his driver out of the carriage without hesitation to reduce the weight of the heavy bull cart.

Fortunately, all this has passed for the time being, and I have escaped another disaster!

Listening to the sound of swords, bowstrings, fighting and shouting behind him, Li Ru, who was on the bumpy and undulating ox cart, breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he endured the severe pain on his shoulders and forced himself to calm down as soon as possible.

Who wants to kill himself?

This is a problem. For a moment, what Li Ru could think of was too many people, the guests of the suppressed Guanzhong tribe, the old subordinates of Guo Si who were cheated to death, the disciples of the executed court officials, and the assassins sent by his political enemies...

Li Ru knew that he was in a position and had a high position and had offended too many people. In the entire Chang'an City, there were countless enemies who wanted to die tragically, and there were countless "people" who coveted their status and wanted to replace them.

Since he could not judge the mastermind behind the scenes who dared to ambush him in the street, Li Ru felt that for him, there were dangers everywhere in Chang'an City that would easily lose his life.

After all, since the person who wants to kill himself can send unknown authenticity to the daytime and a number of "soldiers" to ambush him in the street, then the subsequent methods will never be the only one.

After weighing the trade-offs, Li Ru could only choose the lowest risk place in the city, which was the mansion of Grand Sima Li Jue.

Although the soldiers who just wanted to ambush themselves claimed to be from Li Jue's camp, Li Ru didn't believe that his current power and status were obtained by Li Jue. If Li Jue wanted to kill him, why should he do this in one go and get half the result with twice the effort?

On the contrary, the Lilu where he works, there seem to be high-walled courtyards and heavy guards in the province where he works, but the turbulent and open guns and hidden arrows are enough to make Li Ru, who had just escaped the disaster, get frightened and not take the risk enough to go there.

"Hurry, hurry up and go to the Grand Sima Mansion!"

Li Ru took advantage of the fact that he was still awake in his mind, endured the bumps and severe pain, and ordered the coachman repeatedly.

"Master, go, can't go."

The cramped voice of the coachman suddenly made Li Ru, who was already weak and collapsed, and struggled again.

"Die slave, can you violate the consequences of your defiance?"

"No, no, lord, this beast, it can't control it anymore!"

···

Whether Yang Ding delayed or was cautious, whether he wanted to repent or was timid, he was already on the verge of killing Li, and he had to do something.

Even Dong Cheng, who had originally planned to watch the situation, was finally pulled over by Song Guo. Now only Yang Ding is left. Faced with the surging feelings, he can't stop him.

Unless, he wants to fight back and surrender to Li Jue.

But thinking of Li Jue's gloomy face with slightly shaking nasolabial folds, Yang Ding thought about it for a while and extinguished the idea of ​​seeking death.

After Dong Cheng, Song Guo, and those ministers who secretly opposed Li Jue fell, the next one who died must be himself.

Therefore, this time, Yang Ding, Dong Cheng, Song Guo, and the old ministers of the Western Liang army, together with Fuwan, the foreign relatives and Sun Rui, could only join us together for no reason.

Dong Cheng led his troops and horses to control the palace city and arsenal with Fu Wan and the court officials. Song Guo led his troops to attack the Grand Sima Mansion, while he was responsible for sending troops to control the barracks and various city gates in the city.

The three groups of people contacted each other in different directions and launched at the same time. The cautious Yang Ding also sent troops to ambush Li Ru in advance, who was likely to leave the palace.
