Liu Siyuan held the drumstick in both hands, and on his left and right, hundreds of big drums were lined up.

"Order all the slave soldiers, if you kill one Tang army in this battle, you can be exempted from the status of slaves, and you will be rewarded with ten acres of land and ten yuan of money."

"Order all the headquarters of the Liu family, kill one Tang army in this battle, reward 100 acres of land, and 100 yuan of money."

The soldiers were ordered to gallop on horseback, and Liu Siyuan's order reached the ears of all the Liu soldiers who were preparing to attack.

What did the slave look forward to most? It's freedom.

What is the Liu clan looking forward to the most? Nature is identity, status, wealth.

With the promise of the patriarch of his clan, the atmosphere on the battlefield instantly reached a high point, and even those slave soldiers who had to fight were now high.

Freedom, land, is what they have been tirelessly pursuing, and in Liu's family, the rights of a free man are heaven for a slave.

Feeling the battle intent that rose up in an instant, the corners of Liu Siyuan's mouth showed a smile, the land of Liaodong, there is nothing else, there is a lot of land, what about those undeveloped raw lands, how can they be rewarded? When they have worked so hard to become a familiar land, they will take it again.

Raise the drumstick with both hands, and it will fall hard.

Several horsemen rushed from afar, but they passed through the military formation, and came straight to Liu Siyuan's banner of the Chinese army, and none of the soldiers along the way stopped them, obviously, they all knew who came.

"Big brother!" A middle-aged man turned over and dismounted, with a look of panic on his face.

"Siqi, what's going on so panicking?" Liu Siyuan was slightly angry, the big battle was about to start, but his cousin Liu Siqi came so wildly, it didn't break the morale of the army.

"Lost, Deng Tingshi lost!" Liu Siqi grabbed Liu Siyuan's arms, and although he tried to lower his voice as much as possible, the people around him still looked at him in surprise.

"What Deng Thorn Shi lost? Make the words clear. Shaking off Liu Siqi's hand, Liu Siyuan said angrily.

"Big brother, Xue Chong, the general of the Tang Army, led Zuo Jin Wuwei to raid Chaoyang, Lingyuan, and the soldiers came to Jianchang City, which has cut off the connection between Kuancheng and Pingquan and the rear." Liu Siqi's voice was still a little trembling, "Deng Tingshi has become a lonely. ”

"What did you say?" Liu Siyuan's eyes widened: "How could Xue Chong's Zuo Jin Wuwei suddenly appear, such a ridiculous fake news, can you believe it?" ”

"The messenger for help has arrived in our camp. It's Deng Tingshi's henchmen who came, how could he lie? Liu Siqi said: "That person said, now Pingquan is garrisoned by Huang Zhongfa, and Deng Tingshi has led the main force to attack Jianchang, let the eldest brother, you give up Li Rui immediately, and the whole army immediately rushed to Jianchang to respond." ”

Liu Siyuan's whole body froze somewhere, and the drumstick in his hand was no longer able to be raised.

The cheers and shouts on the battlefield came and went, but it was the time when the fighting spirit was at its highest, and all the officers turned their heads to look in the direction of the Chinese army, waiting for the flags and war drums that ordered them to attack, but they were greeted by a long silence.

Then, to their surprise, something happened.

The flag was waved, but instead of attacking, it retreated.

The war drums did not sound, but the golden gong was beating desperately.

All the front-line officers looked at all this blankly, and the morale that had been mustered up with great difficulty was given up in vain.

Then, they saw the banner of the Chinese army moving back.

The boss showed his unwavering determination.

Inside the dock fort, Li Rui rode a horse and held a knife, standing at the forefront of preparing to impact the enemy, nearly a thousand cavalry spread behind him, several soldiers had already taken off seven or eight horizontal bars on the door, pulling the fort door with both hands, just waiting for Li Rui to give an order, the dock fort gate would be opened, let this cavalry rush out.

The sound of the golden gong was still clearly heard through the castle gate, and Li Rui couldn't help but be stunned.

Leaning slightly, Gu Han hurriedly ran down from the top of the inclined ladder, although his face was also full of puzzlement, but his face was irrepressible joy.

"General Li, General Li, they are retreating." Gu Han said loudly.

On the top of the city tower, Li Rui picked the fort battlements with both hands, looking at the scene that had just been tense, the wind was calm in an instant, and the soldiers and horses of the Liu family left the dock fort one after another, and retreated towards the Liu army camp in the distance.

He waved his fist vigorously, turned his head to Gu Han happily and said, "We succeeded, Deng Jingshan must be finished." ”

"Now we can send scouts to find out the news, if this is true, Liu Siyuan is afraid that he will not have the heart to fight us anymore." Gu Han was extremely happy.

Liu Siyuan really didn't have any intention to fight Li Rui anymore, even in his eyes, Li Rui at this moment, as long as he added a little more strength, he could eat it completely.

However, trapped beasts are still fighting, especially fierce beasts like Right Xiaowei, in a desperate situation, it is difficult to predict what kind of combat power they can exert.

If everything goes as usual, he doesn't mind losing some of his strength in exchange for this result, because it will greatly increase his influence, and he will have more say in Pingzhou and even in front of Zhang Zhongwu, and with the right to speak, he will be able to grab more benefits.

But now, it's not worth it.

"Is Zuo Jin Wuwei fully dispatched?" With red eyes, he looked at the embarrassed and injured Deng Jingshan's henchman in front of him.

"All the troops are dispatched, and there are tens of thousands of cavalry alone." The guard said: "General Deng's main force will inevitably be intercepted by the other party, General Huang Zhongfa is afraid that he will not be able to hold Pingquan, if the general does not attack Xue Chong well, he will be attacked by Xue Chong and Liu Chenglin before and after, and please General Liu You immediately send troops, and together with my family's assassin history, first defeat Xue Chong, and retreat to Jianchang, in order to stabilize the situation." ”

Liu Siyuan took a deep breath and nodded: "I know, you have worked hard all the way, go and rest first." ”

"Please also ask General Liu to send troops immediately." The Guardian arched.

"Of course, I know that the military situation is like fire, and there is no delay, but tens of thousands of troops, not to say that they can leave, they have to be arranged." Liu Siyuan pinched his eyebrows and said impatiently.

After the envoy retreated, Liu Siqi came over: "Big brother, what should we do now?" Do you want to prepare to leave camp immediately? ”

"The camp is to be pulled out immediately, but not to Jianchang, but to retreat immediately, we will go to Jinzhou." Liu Siyuan stood up.

Liu Siqi was stunned for a moment.

"Don't go to save Deng Tingshi?" He asked, surprised.

"How can I save it?" Liu Siyuan asked rhetorically: "Siqi, tell me, Zuo Jinwu is all dispatched, and Jianchang is now only three or five thousand old and weak soldiers, and Zuo Jinwu guards tens of thousands of people, and Jianchang is not fighting, what is the reason?" ”

"Seduce us!" Liu Siqi's vest immediately had a layer of white sweat.

"Yes, that's what lured us to the past!" Liu Siyuan sneered: "If they want to fight Jianchang, with Jianchang's current strength, I'm afraid they will be able to go down with one blow." This bait is too crude. I bet that Xue Chong's tens of thousands of cavalry are waiting for us somewhere, attacking the infantry on the march halfway, isn't that what cavalry likes to do the most? Left Jin Wuwei, right Xiaowei, a total of 60,000 soldiers, it seems that Liu Chenglin's wishful thinking is to have a decisive battle with us near Jianchang, and then solve us at once. ”

"We are no less armed than theirs!" Liu Siqi said unconvinced, and Liu Dai and Liu Yan behind him nodded approvingly.

Liu Siyuan rolled his eyes.

"The number of troops is not less than theirs, but can they fight?" Liu Siyuan pointed angrily in the direction of Wubao, "Without several times the number of troops, I will never come to provoke him, but that's it, how much advantage have we taken?" Li Rui's troops are indeed the most capable of fighting among Liu Chenglin's troops, but in the waiting area, will Liu Changfeng's troops be much worse than Li Rui's troops? ”

Liu Siqi couldn't help but fall silent.

"Xue is a little worse, but Zuo Jin Wuwei is also a survivor who walked down from the Zhaoyi battlefield. Combat experience is also not comparable to us. Liu Siyuan sighed: "Those are all regular troops, and we, except for the five thousand people in the Liu family's headquarters, the rest of the slave army, do you think they will be opponents when they encounter the main force of the Tang army?" ”

"It's a little difficult!"

"The number of people is meaningless. In addition to its own combat effectiveness, the equipment of the Tang Army did not know how to throw us off a few streets. Liu Siyuan said coldly: "In the past few days, you have also seen the equipment of the Tang Army that fell off the city in the battle, can you not buy a few dozen taels of silver?" ”

"Then if we leave like this, how will we face Deng Tingshi in the future? Also, how do you explain Zhang Dashuai? Liu Siqi asked.

Liu Siyuan sat down slowly, looked at Liu Siqi and said, "Messenger? What messenger? When have I seen the messenger? ”

Hearing this, Liu Yan turned his head and walked outside the big tent.

"Deng Jingshan may not be able to escape back this time." Liu Siyuan looked at the remaining two and said: "Deng Jingshan has a total of 50,000 people, but in Pingquan, Kuancheng must also lose a lot, such weather, all the way to the forced march, with the equipment of our soldiers, there will be a lot of non-combat attrition, there is interception in front, there are chasing soldiers in the back, I am not optimistic that he can break through." ”

"If Deng Jingshan dies, Pingzhou will be up to us."

"Under such a situation, can Pingzhou still be saved?" Liu Dai interjected.

"Liu Chenglin swallowed Deng Jingshan and took the place west of Jianchang, it should almost be satisfied, and if you want to continue to march in such weather, the difficulty is not ordinary. We have held Jinzhou, at least half of the wall. ”

"What if Deng Jingshan breaks through?" Liu Dai continued to ask.

Liu Siyuan smiled: "Even if he breaks through, how many people can he have?" Without strength, what can he do to compete with us? If you know each other, get out early, and we will be safe. ”

"Will Zhang Dashuai tolerate us replacing Deng Jingshan?"

"Zhang Dashuai will see that the tens of thousands of troops in my hands can defend half of Pingzhou for him." Liu Siyuan said.
