Chapter 314 Bloody Xiangyang

In Xiangyang City, the Cai family's banquet ended and the guests left one after another. The moon was already above the branches and undercurrents were surging.

"The scholar has left the Cai family."

"This time we must succeed, not fail. If we fail, the army inside and outside the city will be mobilized. Do you know the consequences?"

"clear."

"Get ready to take action."

In a courtyard in Xiangyang City, dozens of players were on the verge of a fight, wearing iron armor. After finishing their discussion, they scattered and disappeared into the night.

Li Qian left Cai's mansion and walked on the street with a dozen military generals. There were few pedestrians, and the few scattered pedestrians were guests who had just come out of Cai's mansion.

"Brother, that man is the newly appointed Xinye Ling."

"This man is surrounded by heroes and brave men. He is truly a top figure."

Behind Li Qian and his group, two burly men followed with a dozen militiamen.

When Li Qian and his group were halfway there, Huang Zhong's expression suddenly changed and his pace slowed down.

Qin Qiong, Li Qian and others also changed color at the same time as Huang Zhong.

Li Xiuning should have noticed it, but she was worried at the moment, and said to Li Qian: "With the status of the second daughter of the Cai family, if the master can marry her as the principal wife, he can get the support of the Cai family, which will be of great help to his entry into Nanjun in the future..."

"What do you think?"

Li Qian secretly observed the surrounding streets and houses with his peripheral vision while answering Li Xiuning's questions casually.

Li Xiuning used the slender fingers of her right hand to twirl the ends of her hair nervously: "For the sake of my lord's great cause, of course I should marry her..."

"Do not talk."

Li Qian held Li Xiuning's left hand and reminded her in a low voice.

After hearing what Li Qian said, Li Xiuning quickly calmed down due to his qualities as a seasoned military commander.

In the night of Xiangyang City, the murderous atmosphere grew stronger.

"Is there an ambush?"

Li Xiuning asked in a low voice.

"should be."

The reason why Li Qian reminded Li Xiuning was that he had already sensed the murderous intent.

Xiangyang City is not Li Qian’s territory, but a neutral city.

If someone wanted to kill him, this would be the best place to do it.

Qin Qiong whispered at the side: "Could it be the dozen people behind us?"

"The group of people behind are strong and muscular, and they are indeed martial artists, but they also showed up at the Cai family's banquet. They should be from a noble family somewhere in Jingzhou, not them."

Li Qian had already noticed that there was a group of people behind him.

It was already late at night, and the air was filled with murderous intent. It would be easy for people to mistake them for enemies due to paranoia.

But Li Qian paid attention to all the invited aristocratic families from Jingzhou at the banquet and had an impression of them. The reason why they followed him was probably just a coincidence.

"No matter what, prepare to fight."

Li Qian took a deep breath. He originally just came here to have a feast, but judging from the current situation, someone else was going to have a feast.

Li Xiuning held the hilt of the sword at her waist with her right hand, while Li Qian held her left hand. Although danger was lurking everywhere, she felt inexplicably at ease.

In the darkness of night, several players hiding behind the rooftop had already drawn their crossbows.

"Follow my orders."

The leading player lay in wait patiently, looked up at the moonlight, and waited patiently for the opportunity to come.

"Boss, there is a group of people behind the scholar. Should we avoid them?" "Fools, that will only ruin the original plan. If they get hurt by mistake, it will be their own bad luck."

The clouds moved, gradually blocking the moonlight, and darkness enveloped the streets of Xiangyang City.

Huang Zhong's face changed: "Oh no, they are about to take action!"

As the street became pitch dark, the sound of arrows piercing through the air was heard in the darkness, shooting towards Li Qian and his group!

Judging from the sound of arrows breaking through the air, there are hundreds of ambushes!
"Protect the lord!"

Huang Zhong, Qin Qiong, Li Xiuning, Mu Guiying, Yuchi Jingde and other brave generals subconsciously placed Li Qian in the middle, waving their weapons quickly to form a net in front of them, constantly knocking away the incoming crossbow arrows.

Clang clang clang.

The sounds of weapons hitting crossbows came one after another. In the darkness, sparks flew, briefly illuminating the night sky in a flash.

On the rooftops on both sides of the street, there were rows of ambushed players holding crossbows.

Each player is equipped with three crossbows. There is no need to aim or load. Just pull the trigger and rounds of crossbow arrows will be shot out. The goal is to use dense rain of arrows to kill or injure Li Qian and his group!

The sky was dark, and countless crossbow arrows were shot from all directions, making it difficult to predict the direction.

"Humph!"

Liao Hua groaned as he was hit by three arrows in a row.

Liao Hua's fighting power was relatively low among Li Qian's group. He was unable to block all the crossbow arrows and was injured by them.

Fortunately, Liao Hua was wearing heavy armor, so even if he was hit by an arrow, his life would not be in danger as long as the arrow did not hit a vital part.

The group of people following Li Qian also encountered an unexpected disaster. In the darkness, many stray arrows were shot at them.

The two brothers who led the group held huge swords and shields and blocked all the crossbow arrows shot at them.

However, the local militia they brought with them were no match.

Under such a dense rain of arrows, even if the enemy's target was not them, the deflected crossbow arrows alone would cause them to lose more than half of their men, with blood splattering all over the ground.

"Why is there an ambush here?"

"Their target is not us, but Xinye Ling. We are the innocent victims!"

"Damn it, how dare you kill our people!"

When the two brothers saw the militiamen they brought with them being shot to death by arrows, they were furious.

Although they were affected, it was their own people who died.

"rush out."

Li Qian gave orders and decided to break out of the encirclement.

In the darkness of night, I don’t know how many ambushes there are. As long as I leave Xiangyang City and join the 3,000 elite soldiers outside the city, the enemy will not be able to touch me.

Li Qian operated the Fire Dragon Spear with both hands, knocking away the rain of arrows, and led a group of brave generals to break out quickly towards the city gate.

"Kill!!!"

At the street corner, the ambushing players and the scattered soldiers they recruited formed a team of cavalry and charged towards Li Qian and his men!

Although players are not allowed to bring a large army into the city, each player can bring a few or a dozen personal soldiers into the city, and then join together to gather thousands of soldiers!
This ambush unit not only used crossbows to assassinate, but also prepared a team of cavalry. When the arrows failed to kill Li Qian and his men, the cavalry rushed out with the clanging of their iron hooves, intending to trample Li Qian and his men into meat paste!

Li Qian and others did not bring their mounts into the city and could only fight against hundreds of cavalry on foot!
One hundred and fifty heavy cavalry led the charge, and three hundred and fifty light cavalry followed to reap the harvest. They came with such force that the ground of the entire street was shaking, the stones were trembling constantly, and the residents closed their doors and windows and dared not come out.

"drink!"

Li Siye, a fierce general of the Tang army, held the Mo Dao in both hands and wielded the sword with unstoppable force, chopping the charging player and his horse into two pieces!

The hot blood splashed on Li Siye, making the already drunk Li Siye even more determined to fight.

Don’t laugh at me sleeping drunk on the battlefield. How many men have ever returned from the battles throughout history?
Li Siye moved his right foot back, and swung his sword forward again, chopping off another heavy cavalryman!
