The Song Dynasty on the Sand Table

Chapter 125 We Are the Last
Guan Sheng rushed to the front, swung his sword, and killed Zhang Jian's cowardly subordinates, forcing them to retreat again and again.

Yu Fanwen was also very fierce, brandishing his knife and rushing forward side by side with him.

Both of them are proficient in martial arts and are ruthless people who have seen blood. They are perfect for this kind of scene where they kill people indiscriminately.

Compared with them, Master Ye and Bruce Lee were not professional enough.

Yue Wenxuan also knew that professional matters should be left to professionals, so he did not rush to the front. Instead, he and Bruce Lee lagged behind half a step, protecting Guan Sheng and Yu Fanwen's flanks on the left and right.

The four of them formed a trapezoid to clear the way. In the narrow streets, they were able to barely block the situation with only four people. The enemy soldiers coming towards them were beaten to the ground and were in disarray. They could not harm the women and children following behind.

Wu Jialiang and several of his brothers protected Zheng and the child and followed closely.

The group of people were like a bulldozer, pushing away the enemy soldiers on the street.

Zhang Jian's men initially thought they had the upper hand and were quite motivated to fight. However, after being beaten to the ground by four fierce men, they became timid and did not dare to engage in battle.

Everyone felt much more relaxed and rushed to an intersection, suddenly turning to the side.

Zhang Jian's men shouted and chased into the side alley, and then a large group of people chased each other in the streets and alleys, causing chaos in half of Jinan city.

"The city gate is just ahead," Wu Jialiang shouted. "If we get out, we'll live. If we can't, we'll all die here."

Guan Sheng: "Thanks to Brother Ip Man's reminder, I left two brothers to guard the capstan at the city gate. They are both smart people. When they heard the noise in the city, they must have contacted the defenders on the city wall. There are also some loyal people among the defenders who will help us break the situation."

As he spoke, he turned an alley and saw the city gate in front of him.

I saw a fierce battle going on above the city gate.

The two confidants left behind by Guan Sheng were leading a dozen or so people to fight with Liu Yu's personal soldiers near the capstan.

It turned out that when the city was in turmoil, these two confidants took action, immediately contacted the soldiers loyal to Guan Sheng, controlled the winch, and opened the city gate.

At this time, Jinan City was still in a state of "the Jin thieves might attack at any time". The action of opening the city gate was too shocking and scared the other guards. Many people immediately gathered around to watch the fun.

Immediately, Liu Yu and his army came running over, shouting, "Close the city gates! Close the city gates quickly!"

Guan Sheng's subordinates were unwilling to close the capstan and even guarded the capstan to prevent others from doing so.

Liu Yu then ordered his personal soldiers to step forward and take back the capstan.

So the two sides started fighting at the capstan.

After this attack, no one had time to take care of the capstan, and the city gate remained open.

Wu Jialiang was overjoyed: "Rush out!"

Yue Wenxuan's eyes swept over Liu Yu and his group, and he thought to himself: The city gate is very chaotic now. It is easy to rush out of the city, but after leaving the city, we will still escape with our legs swinging. Liu Yu will lead his men to chase us all the time. We are carrying women and children with us, so it is difficult to completely get rid of the pursuers. Once we run out of energy, we will die.

Someone had to stay behind to block Liu Yu, or at least let the women and children run up the hill outside so that the other party couldn't catch up.

Yue Wenxuan turned to Wu Jialiang and said, "You go ahead and protect Guan Sheng and his family. Bruce Lee and I will stay behind to cover your rear."

"Huh?" Wu Jialiang was startled. "Brother Ip Man, you can't do that."

Yue Wenxuan: "Have you forgotten what my young master said to you before we set out?"

Wu Jialiang thought about it more carefully and remembered that before setting off, Master Yue had specifically instructed him to abandon Ip Man and Bruce Lee and run away if he encountered danger, and let them cover the rear. He had argued a little at the time, but Master Yue said that if he stayed, he would only hinder the two of them... Since Master Yue had said so before, Wu Jialiang had nothing to say.

He could only say in a deep voice, "Brother Ip Man, nephew Bruce Lee, you must escape successfully, otherwise, I will have no face to live."

Yue Wenxuan: "Don't worry, we can get away."

After saying that, he turned to Bruce Lee and said, "Go up to the city wall. You go to the capstan on the left, and I'll go to the capstan on the right. After Guan Sheng and his family escape from the city, release the capstan and let the city gate fall."

Bruce Lee: "Ahhh!"

The two immediately rushed towards the city wall...

There were stairs on the inside of the city wall that could be climbed up, and the two men attacked upwards along the stairs.

At this time, the people on the stairs were all Liu Yu's men, and they were also attacking the capstan. Guan Sheng's men, who were guarding the capstan, used their spears to stab the stairs, and Liu Yu's men could not get up for a while.

Yue Wenxuan and Bruce Lee attacked these people from behind.

Yue Wenxuan swung the clothesline pole in his hand and hit people's calves. With one strike, an enemy soldier rolled down the stairs. Fighting in such a strange terrain required twists and turns, which was actually beneficial to Master Ye but not to these soldiers who were good at fighting in spear formations.

Bruce Lee on the other side did the same thing, firing a series of flying kicks, all hitting the enemy soldiers' crotch from behind.

With this charge, the two men actually scattered all the enemy soldiers on the stairs, and they rolled down.

When the people at the top of the stairs saw them coming to attack them, they quickly moved their spears away and let the two men jump up.

Yue Wenxuan said to Guan Sheng's men, "Have you prepared the ropes?"

"We're ready! We've already made up our minds to use the ropes to slide out of the city."

"Okay!" Yue Wenxuan said, "Wait until they leave the city, then we'll lower the gate and slide out using the ropes."

The fighting was fierce at the capstan and also at the city gate.

Guan Sheng and Yu Fanwen led the way, followed by Wu Jialiang and his group who rushed forward desperately. Most of those guarding the city gate were Guan Sheng's subordinates. These people were not bored and had no time to attack Guan Sheng. They gave them a little bit of defense, and Guan Sheng and his group easily rushed out.

Zhang Jian was in a hurry and led his men in pursuit.

At this moment, Yue Wenxuan and Bruce Lee on the city wall kicked the winch bracket at the same time.

The design of the city gate winch is very interesting. It is very difficult to open the city gate, and the soldiers need to twist the iron chain hard to pull the city gate open. But closing the city gate is easy. You just need to loosen the mechanism, and the weight of the city gate will pull the winch to spin, and it can be closed in an instant.

Simply put, it is easier to close the door than to open it.

Yue Wenxuan kicked the mechanism, and the gate's iron chain instantly straightened, pulling the capstan in the opposite direction. The gate slammed shut with a force weighing thousands of pounds...

Zhang Jian was leading his men into the city gate when he suddenly saw the city gate crashing down on him. He was so frightened that he almost gave birth to a Buddha and ascended to heaven. He quickly retreated, only to hear a loud "bang" and the city gate was blocked tightly.

Liu Yu was very anxious: "Damn it! Quickly take down the capstan and open the city gate."

At this moment, the enemy soldiers who had been attacking the city wall just now all rushed towards it.

Yue Wenxuan turned to Guan Sheng's confidants and said, "Hurry up and use the ropes to slide out of the city and follow General Guan Sheng."
