And this child is really spiritual, whenever Li Qiu is in danger, whenever Li Qiu is about to be besieged by the enemy, his arrows will arrive on time.
Although he is not strong, the arrows he shoots are not very powerful, and the sight is also a bit weak.
But for Li Qiu, this is enough.
With his support from high in the sky, Li Qiu himself obviously felt too powerful!
In terms of effect, it is like adding a buff to the tiger-like Li Qiu, like a tiger with wings.
After a fierce battle, when there were fewer enemies around, Li Qiu stopped and gasped for breath to recover his strength.
And the little archer on the roof also stopped his running for the first time.
Because he successfully shot many enemies, his childlike nature was exposed.
He actually shouted and waved to Li Qiu.
"Brother Li Qiu, it's me!"
"Did you forget that day in the city, you promised me that you would fight side by side with me!"
"It's so handsome to be able to go to the battlefield with brother Li Qiu and kill the enemy!"
Before he finished speaking, Li Qiu only saw a Turkic iron spear draw an arc and throw it towards the child on the roof.
"Dangerous! Get out of the way!"
Chapter 70 What's Your Name?
When Li Qiu saw the spear and went to remind him, it was already too late.
He could only tighten his heartstrings, watching the black spear directly pierced the child's chest with great inertia.
Then, the child, with the gun pierced through his body, fell from a height.
Just when Li Qiu ran to catch him, he finally saw his face clearly, as well as the joy and smile that still stayed and frozen on his face just now.
this kid...
It was the 13-year-old child I met on the street that day and told Li Qiu that I was going to the battlefield soon.
"Brother Li Qiu, I'm in so much pain, am I about to die?"
Looking at the thin body in his arms at this moment, Li Qiu's distressed lips trembled.
His eyes dimmed in an instant.
"Brother Li Qiu, maybe, I'm going to see my father and my two brothers too."
"When I see them, I will definitely tell them that brother Li Qiu and I fought side by side. Brother Li Qiu is so powerful and has killed many Turkic enemies."
"And I'm so good, I shot seventeen enemies in total."
At this moment, Li Qiu's hands were trembling, trying to stop the bleeding.
But his thin body was pierced by that damned cold iron gun, he couldn't survive!
At this time, the child looked nervously at the bow that fell on the ground in the distance.
"Brother Li Qiu, that bow was used by my father back then."
"It is said that it was passed down from the grandfather who was a hunter."
"Mother told me, don't lose that bow."
"Now, if I die, I will give this bow to Brother Li Qiu."
"Let it stay by your side, brother Li Qiu, protect brother Li Qiu, let it fight with you, just like me just now."
Listening to his words, Li Qiu couldn't control the sadness in his heart anymore, tears rolled down and dripped on the child's hands and face.
At this time, due to the serious injury and excessive bleeding, the boy's life was about to reach its final moment.
"Li Qiu...brother..."
"Mother told me...boys can't cry..."
"You are a great hero, so don't... cry... okay..."
"Our family... father... elder brother, even I am going to die now..."
"I... am... the last man in my family..."
"But I still have mother and younger sister... I couldn't protect them..."
"Brother Li Qiu, I really miss my mother, I really miss... I really don't want to die..."
"You promised me...help me protect..."
The child hadn't even finished his last sentence, so he just left.
Li Qiu could understand that he was still young, and there were still many things he wanted to do in this world that he hadn't done yet.
He, to himself, to his mother, to his sister, still had a lot of things he wanted to say but didn't say.
"I promise you! I will protect your mother, your sister!"
"I'll take you to find your mother right now!"
"But don't die! Tell me your name!"
"Don't die!"
"Talk to me again, what's your name!"
It's a pity that this child will never smile at him again, and look at him with that kind of admiration.
I will never shuttle on the roof, and go to fight with him!
The next moment, Li Qiu placed the child's body in front of him.
Urging him to go immediately, he picked up the bow he was using that fell from the ground.
With hatred in his heart, he rushed to the battlefield ahead with red eyes!
This fierce battle lasted for nearly two hours.
At this moment, Li Qiu was covered in blood, and his mind was almost numb.
Even he himself can't remember how many people he killed.
In his eyes, there are only these densely packed Turkic people who can't be killed no matter how hard they are.
The difference in numbers between the two sides is too great.
The Turkic army has [-] troops, and Youzhou City has less than [-] troops.
In the previous city defense battle, Youzhou's defenders lost nearly [-] troops and killed more than [-] enemies.
The ratio is less than 1:[-], but this is already the best result after everyone has tried their best and fought for it with the determination to die.
In this street battle, the Youzhou side had a total strength of 1 troops, and had killed at least [-] Turks.
This has been carefully designed and ambushed, the biggest result.
As the number of Turkic troops on the opposite side increased, Li Qiu and his team had retreated to the pre-arranged retreat location, the South Gate.
In the process, their team merged with Luo Kexin's team in the adjacent street who was also retreating.
At this moment, there are only 300 people left in Li Qiu's [-] Shenwu Army, and Luo Kexin's [-] Guards are even worse, with only more than [-] people left.
The main street she was in charge of was also the area with the most Turkic troops, the strongest combat power, and the most difficult area.
In this critical time, no one talks nonsense.
Gather together immediately, and quickly evacuate towards the south gate according to the pre-war agreement.
But when they retreated here, the situation was worse than imagined.
The remaining teams, due to their lack of strength, could not stop the Turkic attack, and had already retreated here.
They could have escaped from the city and ran away.
However, in order to defend this place and prevent the Turkic people from sealing the city gate and blocking Luo Kexin and Li Qiu's retreat, they gritted their teeth and fought hard here.
"General Luo Tong, General Li Qiu!"
"Quick!"
"Hurry up and get out, we can't stand it anymore!"
Seeing this, Li Qiu and Luo Kexin desperately led the team to retreat.
The faster I am, the less sacrifices will be made by those soldiers who are desperately supporting the last part of the area in front of the city gate.
When Li Qiu came to the gate of the city, he immediately shouted, "Quickly retreat!"
"Here, I and the Shenwu Army stand up!"
Not only Li Qiu, but also Luo Kexin, the lord of Youzhou City, it is also impossible to leave these subordinates to survive alone.
"Quickly withdraw! Quickly withdraw!"
"You have been injured too much, don't hold on, and withdraw first."
At this time, facing Li Qiu and Luo Kexin's almost roaring, these generals and soldiers had a look of determination in their eyes at the same time.
"General Luo Tong, General Li Qiu."
"You two are the pillars of my Tang army in the future. We will die when we die, but you must live on!"
"Also, General Li Qiu, the shot of Sirius is really delicious. I'm afraid I won't be able to drink it after I get there."
"Wait for the New Year's Eve and the memorial day, you must remember to give us two sips of wine!"
After saying this, they mustered their last strength and led the team to launch a final charge towards the Turkic army.
"Brothers, go ahead!"
"Go and fight with the Turks!"
"Even with our dead bodies, the city gate will be blocked, so that General Luo and General Li Qiu can safely evacuate!"
Chapter 71 Burning the City
Just when they were about to turn back and rush towards the densely packed Turkic army with their wounded bodies, Li Qiu's figure was one step ahead of them, turning back and rushing towards the city gate first.
"General Li Qiu?!"
"you?!"
Just as they passed by, Li Qiu left a word in a calm voice.
"You want to sacrifice your life for righteousness, and then make me live with all this?"
"Think beautifully!"
Right after Li Qiu rushed out, to everyone's surprise, Luo Kexin also followed him back and killed him.
This time, everyone present was frightened.
This is the Luo family, the last root of Youzhou City!
Even if everyone died here, General Luo Tong couldn't die!
But without giving them a chance to talk nonsense, Luo Kexin directly issued a military order, "Quickly retreat, what are you waiting for?!"
After Luo Kexin, Luo Liang didn't hesitate at all, and immediately followed Luo Kexin to kill him.
Back then, he was by General Luo Cheng's side, watching General Luo Cheng die tragically.
Now, he is guarding Miss's side again.
In any case, he could not allow this tragedy to repeat itself.
At least, I can't let the young lady die in front of me again.
Otherwise, even in the underworld, he would not be able to bear this kind of mental torture and blow!
After seeing Li Qiu, Luo Tong, and Luo Liang turning back again, the generals froze on the spot, not knowing that they should obey the military order to retreat.
Or go back and be buried here together.
At this time, Luo Liang yelled at them: "Get out! Get out!"
