Koi Fubao: Being loved by everyone on the road to escape from famine
Chapter 157 Appreciation
Xiao Zhixue stood not far away, with a barely perceptible sneer on her lips. This sudden change seemed to be in line with some calculation in her mind.
Without any personal intervention, the enemy has fallen into a spiral of self-destruction.
At this moment, Gu Huairen's attention was completely attracted by the fierce battle outside the city, especially the bloody battle between Fan Yanmu and Ying Yi and Ying Er, which made him nervous.
He couldn't help but wonder inwardly, if Fan Yanmu met with misfortune here, how would he have the face to face Duan Qi, the old friend who had entrusted his best friend to him?
At the same time, the enemy troops outside the city wall were like dark clouds covering the sun, and dense rain of arrows attacked the top of the city like a storm.
The soldiers defending the city waved their swords and tried their best to cut down the arrows whistling in the air, but no one noticed Xiao Zhixue's silent sneak.
Her eyes swept across the edge of the city wall, looking at the densely packed enemy soldiers pouring in like a tide, and a complex emotion surged in her heart.
Her gaze finally fixed on Fan Yanmu and the other two. Their heroic figures seemed particularly dazzling in the flames of war. Deep in her heart, Xiao Zhixue couldn't help but secretly admire Fan Yanmu's extraordinary courage and outstanding martial arts.
Fortunately, the long ladder set up by the enemy happened to be a bridge for her to escape from the scene.
In a flash, a sharp sword appeared in her hand. She quickly dealt with several enemies who tried to climb the city wall, and then deftly used the ladder to slide down the wall like a ghost in the night.
Every enemy who tried to climb up the city wall was killed with ease by her sword tip.
This series of actions aroused the vigilance of the enemy leader, who immediately ordered his men to pour arrows like a waterfall towards the mysterious black shadow.
However, Xiao Zhixue's reaction was as agile as a cheetah. She hid her sword in an instant and drew out the long whip from her waist.
The whip in her hand was like a living thing. As she swung it violently, dozens of flying arrows were entangled and fixed one by one.
Then, she swung her arrows with force, and the arrows seemed to be given life, turning into a whirlwind of death, blowing back into the enemy formation, accurately piercing through the enemy's heads. Suddenly, the battlefield was filled with wailing and in ruins.
Fan Yanmu keenly sensed Xiao Zhixue's intervention in this chaos.
Although she was wearing men's clothes and her face was difficult to recognize due to smearing, the cotton coat she was wearing - an old coat that Zhou Shuqiong had sewn for Xiao Tingrui while fleeing - looked extremely familiar to Fan Yanmu.
He knew in his heart that Xiao Tingrui had never been good at martial arts, and the only one in his family who possessed outstanding martial arts was Xiao Zhixue.
He never thought that Xiao Zhixue would actually break into this battlefield of swords and sabers alone.
Feeling worried, Fan Yanmu quickly cleared out the enemies around him, turned around and ran towards Xiao Zhixue as fast as he could. Along the way, any enemy who dared to block him was killed by his sword.
On the city wall, Gu Huairen also noticed this brave man who was like an unstoppable warrior on the battlefield.
He was amazed at the other party's martial arts and determined that he was a rare warrior. However, the man's refugee attire made it impossible for him to confirm his true identity.
Seeing Xiao Zhixue resolve the siege single-handedly, Gu Huairen was filled with confusion and admiration. What kind of person could be so brave as to jump off the city wall alone to fight against an overwhelming force?
He secretly vowed that if this mysterious warrior could return safely, he would definitely recruit him into his army and make him an capable general under his command.
Fan Yanmu's figure was like a sharp gust of wind. He rushed to Xiao Zhixue's side almost in the blink of an eye, exuding a majesty that should not be underestimated.
He stared at her with a sharp gaze, and with an irresistible force in his voice, he asked sternly, "This place is extremely dangerous. Why would a woman like you risk your life here alone?"
Xiao Zhixue was shocked. She thought her disguise was clever enough to confuse everyone, but she didn't expect that she would be exposed under Fan Yanmu's sharp eyes.
A trace of panic flashed across her eyes, and then she lightly tapped the ground with the tip of her sword to support herself, with a look of determination under her cold face.
Just now, she stabbed down an enemy who intended to launch a sneak attack with the force of thunder. The blood splattered on her clothes, adding a bit of murderous aura.
She replied calmly: "Although General Gu's troops are brave, they are weak after all. How can they resist the wolf-like and tiger-like enemy for a long time? If I don't stand up, how can my family survive in this chaotic world?"
Upon hearing the sound, Fan Yanmu nimbly kicked away the approaching enemy, while his deep gaze never left Xiao Zhixue.
His eyes were complex, showing both approval and worry, but in the end he did not say much, only silently expressing his understanding and support for Xiao Zhixue's actions.
Then, he stretched out his body like an agile leopard and neatly took care of the enemy who was approaching silently from behind.
Xiao Zhixue was like a dancer on the battlefield, rushing left and right, the sword and whip in her hands interweaving into a silver web of death, blocking back wave after wave of attacks.
Although she is extremely strong and brave, her physical strength is gradually approaching the limit in the endless battles.
Sweat soaked her clothes, but her eyes remained firm.
Finally, when her strength was almost exhausted, she quickly took out the precious spiritual spring water from the brocade bag at her waist and drank it all in one gulp.
The clear, sweet water seemed to carry the vitality of life, which immediately relieved her fatigue, quickly restored her strength, rekindled her fighting spirit, and continued to devote herself to this life-and-death battle.
On the city wall, arrows fell like a dense rainstorm. Due to the lack of sufficient shield protection, many Dong Chu soldiers fell to the ground with shrill screams.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhixue quickly took out a small detoxification pill from her sleeve and handed it to Fan Yanmu.
The latter took it silently and swallowed it without hesitation, his trust in it was self-evident.
Then, she turned her wrist and fine poison powder suddenly appeared in her palm.
As she shook lightly, a strong wind arose, and the poison powder spread like yellow sand in an instant. After the enemy soldiers who were attacking the city gate inhaled it, their faces turned pale, their bodies trembled violently, and their skin felt as if it was bitten by thousands of ants. It was so painful that they could no longer support themselves and fell down one after another.
At this moment, a huge log flew out like an arrow and smashed heavily into the enemy group.
With a heavy sound, twenty Dong Chu soldiers were instantly crushed under the thick wood, and the spark of life suddenly extinguished at this moment.
The remaining soldiers witnessed this scene, and although they were horrified, their rage for revenge prompted them to prepare to lift the wood again and launch a desperate charge towards the city gate.
However, the unknown dust in the air they had just inhaled now acted like a curse.
An unbearable itch eroded their bodies from the inside out, causing them to scratch involuntarily with their hands, and their faces and bodies were soon covered with bloodstains.
