Chapter 376: Difficult Brothers
Bi Bi's peeling torch was burning, illuminating Liu Siyuan's angry face, and he was carrying a big knife in his hand, and on him, thousands of village warriors stood in full armor, and in front of them, there were several rows of Mozhou Army soldiers tied up with flowers, including many officers.
On the opposite side of him, the Mozhou army also gathered more and more, forming a confrontation with Liu Siyuan's township soldiers.
The Liu family is a big clan in Mozhou, and like the Deng family, it constitutes the most basic ruling pattern in Mozhou, except that the Deng family is in the dynasty and the Liu family is in the opposition. But Liu's foundation in Mozhou is not much worse than Deng's.
The looting of the Mozhou army actually grabbed the name of the Liu family. When several Zhuangzi belonging to the Liu clan were looted, Liu Siyuan, who got the news, immediately organized the township soldiers and captured hundreds of Mozhou troops who had been robbed.
The Mozhou army has gathered nearly 3,000 people, and Liu's township is also gathering more and more, and behind them, more people are gathering more and more with hoes, nail rakes, sheep forks, and even kitchen knives.
If it weren't for Liu Siyuan's hundreds of hostages in his hands, I am afraid that the two sides would have started to merge by now.
Deng Jingshan heard that Pegasus had arrived, and when he saw such a situation, he was also annoyed in his heart.
"Deng Tingshi, are you going to do the opposite?" Liu Siyuan rode out, pointed at Deng Jingshan with a halberd, and said, "Have you forgotten that Mozhou is your foundation?" Are these your countrymen? Have you forgotten that the graves of your ancestors are buried under this land? After you die, what will you do to see your Deng ancestors? ”
Facing Liu Siyuan's angry questions, Deng Jingshan smiled bitterly.
turned over and dismounted, and wanted to walk towards Liu Siyuan. Marching Sima Song Yu grabbed him: "Assassin Shi, Liu Siyuan is now on the fire, if you are like the past, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to you." ”
Deng Jingshan rolled his eyes and said, "If Liu Siyuan had lost his mind, those hundreds of soldiers would have been in different places now, how could they do it?" Didn't Liu Siyuan be notified of the great retreat order this time? How did you get to his head? ”
Song Yu bowed his head wordlessly. Whether it is him, or the judge Ke Rong, and many generals in the army, they all covet Liu's wealth, Liu and Deng compete for the dominance of Mozhou, and after the defeat, they concentrate on running the township, and have great power in the countryside, and Deng also took the posture of well water not violating river water after victory, which made Mozhou stable for so many years.
The Liu family is a big family, this time the army deliberately did not notify him, but I was afraid that it was the intention of robbing Liu Siyuan, but I didn't expect that Liu's organizational strength was so strong, and under the sudden attack, it was able to quickly organize a counterattack, and it was also able to defeat the Mozhou army and capture so many soldiers.
Deng Jingshan now has no heart to pay attention to these ghostly tricks between his subordinates, he only knows that if the two sides fight now, or Liu Siyuan will not be his opponent, but after such cannibalism, he is afraid that it will only be Wu Weijun who laughs happily.
In Mozhou, it may be easy to defeat Liu Siyuan, but it is very difficult to kill him completely, and Liu Siyuan has not been idle all these years. Deng Jingshan had to think about whether he could successfully withdraw from Mozhou.
With his bare hands, Deng Jingshan walked to the center of the two sides of the financial confrontation, spread his hands, and said to Liu Siyuan: "Brother Liu, can you have a good talk?" ”
Seeing Deng Jingshan's style, Liu Siyuan snorted, but he also turned over and dismounted and walked in front of Deng Jingshan.
"Brother Liu, Zhuozhou is lost, if we don't retreat, there will be no way out, this, you must also know." Deng Jingshan said: "I gave the order to collect grain and grass, but I thought they would inform you, but I really didn't expect it to be like this." ”
"Deng Tingshi, are you ready to leave the people of Mozhou behind?"
"What if you don't lose it? Brother Liu, do you think I can go far with these more than 100,000 people in Mozhou? Even if I go far, will I be able to feed them? Deng Jingshan Road.
"After leaving Mozhou, are you Deng Jingshan still Deng Jingshan?" Liu Siyuan asked.
"Go, there is still a chance to kill back, stay, you can only become fish on someone else's felt board." Deng Jingshan looked at Liu Siyuan: "Brother Liu, Wuwei Li Ze's set, you must also know it, do you want to stay and let him slaughter him?" Brother Liu, I hope you will also follow me and leave Mozhou, my Deng Jingshan is indeed not the Deng Jingshan of the past, but if you Brother Liu help, we can at least help each other. ”
Liu Siyuan snorted, "Even if I leave, I will take my villagers with me." ”
Deng Jingshan shook his head: "Brother Liu, with all due respect, even if your family has a huge amount of money, but if it is evenly distributed on everyone's head, how much can it be, I have no objection to you bringing Jingzhuang Xiangyong, but other people, forget it, right?" You look at the weather, the long march, you take the old and weak women and children, you just make them die faster. ”
"If you don't bring these people, how can Xiang Yong go with me?" Liu Siyuan said angrily.
"Take as much as you can!" Deng Jingshan stared at him and said, "Even if there are only a thousand elites, it is better than tens of thousands of rabble, this time we are fleeing." You bring too many people, even if you get to the destination, how will you settle them when the time comes? ”
"Out, how are we going to survive?" Liu Siyuan said bitterly.
"Brother Liu, do you know over there in Yingzhou? There is a fertile and boundless land, and now there is no human population anywhere, only some wild people, miscellaneous beards, and thieves are rampant, and when you go to those places, are you afraid that there will be no place to revive your family business? ”
"There are not enough manpower, what can we do to revive the family business!" Liu Siyuan said angrily.
Deng Jingshan smiled: "Brother Liu, I said, there are many savages there, Zahu, they are ready-made manpower, we can also get people from Goguryeo, those people are slaves, you can do whatever you want with them, wouldn't it be better than your current villagers to create wealth for you?" The important thing is force, as long as you have enough force, where can you create a bigger family business than you are now. ”
Hearing Deng Jingshan say this, Liu Siyuan couldn't help but fall silent.
"Brother Liu, now is the last moment, the situation in Mozhou will soon spread to Liu Chenglin's side, his army will inevitably hear the news, the weather will slow down their progress, but we can't stop them all the time, the time left for us is limited. I don't have time to spend it with you, if you want, from now on, you are my deputy, our Deng and Liu families, join hands again, whether it is to Fanyang next, or to retreat to Yingzhou in the future, let's work together to tide over the difficulties, go out, we villagers are relatives. ”
Liu Siyuan lowered his head and was silent in thought.
A horse came from afar, galloped to Deng Jingshan, turned over and dismounted, glanced at Liu Siyuan, and said in a low voice: "Thorn history, a large force of Wuwei cavalry has appeared in Mozhou, and many Khitan tribe cavalry have been attacked and suffered heavy losses. ”
Deng Jingshan's eyelids jumped, "Have you checked it out?" Is it a small force or a main force? ”
"It should be the Wuwei rangers led by Li De, judging from the manpower lost by the Khitan, I am afraid that it is the main force that comes."
Deng Jingshan gasped, Wu Weibing came much faster than he thought.
"Brother Liu, give me a word, if you don't leave, I won't force you, but these soldiers, you have to let them go for me, if you want to leave, you have to prepare immediately, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to go."
Liu Siyuan sighed: "Go, what can I do if I don't go?" ”
Deng Jingshan nodded with satisfaction: "Brother Liu, after we go out, we will be a family." ”
The snow was swept by the wind and flew in the air, and the two cavalry teams faced each other across the mile, naturally the Wuwei rangers from Yingzhou on one side, and the Khitan cavalry on the other side.
After being attacked by the Wuwei cavalry in a row, the Khitan cavalry finally came to their senses, and small forces began to gather, gradually forming a force of 3,000 people, and Li De also gathered his rangers at this time.
On the third day, the two sides finally met head-on.
Li De's clever layout finally forced the Khitan cavalry to fight him head-on, and he didn't want these Khitan cavalry to retreat and flee to Yuyang. How could he let go of such a good combat opportunity now?
Li De clenched his fists, and the woolen gloves on his hands made his hands still maintain full flexibility in the cold wind, including him, all the rangers were exactly the same equipment, the upper body was all the same plate armor, under the helmet, wearing a sheep's mask, naked in the cold wind, only a pair of eyes and nostrils.
Compared with the Wuwei rangers who were armed to the teeth, the Khitans were much more shabby, most of them wore sheepskin jackets, their faces, hands, and were covered with frostbite, shivering in the cold wind.
Yeluqi looked at the Khitan cavalry opposite, his heart was full of emotion, a year ago, he was the same as these Khitans on the other side, but now, he and his tribe are completely different, they wear the iron armor they dream of, have sufficient logistical support, and more importantly, their families are now enjoying a good life in a warm house.
Of course, in order for their family's good life to continue like this, they need to continue to fight and exchange more feats for better days.
Li De stretched out his hand and took off the crossbow on the side of the saddle, raised the spear high in the other hand, and shouted in the cold wind: "Attack!" ”
With his legs between them, the war horse rushed forward like an arrow.
Behind him, thousands of Wuwei cavalry rushed forward with shouts.
At the same time, the Khitan cavalry also swooped down on their horses.
Cavalry battles, there is no fancy to speak of, just like two hidden jars filled with water collide head-on, the weak side will immediately crumble, and the water inside will be sprinkled all over the ground.
Feather arrows flew in the air, crossbow arrows let out a sharp roar, more than a hundred paces apart, and both sides began to shoot at the same time.
Then came a violent ramming, and the two cavalry slammed into each other.
The white cloak fluttered, it was Wuwei's cavalry.
Colorful and variously shaped, that was the Khitan cavalry.
