Chapter 333: Keeping a Promise

Li Xinbei and the fourth lady watched the Liang cavalry rush over, listening to the frightened screams at the entrance of the passage. After a brief period of shock, Li Xinbei became extremely angry.

He finally saw that there were not many cavalry in the Liang army, and there would not be more than three thousand cavalry. And the passage where Li Jiajun is located is very unfavorable for cavalry to charge and kill.

More importantly, there are more than 20,000 people in the Li family's army, and in addition to tens of thousands of family members, there are still more than 10,000 horses.

The elite of the Li family army quickly assembled, and under the command of the furious Li Xinbei, they rushed towards the cavalry of the Liang army. However, the passage was not wide, and Li Jiajun struggled to advance under the impact of his family members who did not retreat and retreated in panic.

Seeing that the cavalry of the Liang army in front of him was rushing left and right, and more and more family members fell under the spears of the cavalry, Li Xinbei was extremely angry, and with his sword and his own hands, he cut down the two women who rushed to him in a panic, and shouted: "Death to those who stand in the way!" ”

The family members who retreated in a panic finally became frightened and dodged to both sides of the passage. Li Jiajun was able to quickly rush to the front, but there was still a stone's throw away from the Liang cavalry, and a horn sounded among the Liang cavalry, and then all the Liang cavalry turned their horses and quickly retreated.

Li Jiajun, who rushed in front of him, only had time to shoot a round of arrows.

Li Xinbei pointed forward and led the army to chase after him.

Embellished with the smoke and dust rolled up by the cavalry of the Liang army, the Li Jiajun rushed to the entrance of the Shaanxi Valley, and they were greeted by a round of arrow rain in the air.

The Li Jiajun, who rushed to the front, were shot and fell. Li Xinbei hurriedly stopped, stopped the pace of impact, and looked ahead in horror.

At the exit of the Shaanxi Valley, in the open field, there was a Liang army standing in the black. The archers, who were hiding behind the pikemen, stretched out their bows and arrows, aiming at the Li family's army. Always ready to fire the arrow again. On the left flank of the infantry phalanx, the cavalry that had withdrawn from the valley was gathering in a charging formation.

Li Xinbei's eyes fell on the carriage in front of the infantry formation.

Xu Liang sat in the carriage in a leisurely pose. looked at Li Xinbei carefully, and sneered: "I should call you Grandpa Wei." Or Grandpa Li? ”

Li Xinbei had no expression on his face, looked at Xu Liang indifferently, and said, "I haven't been a father-in-law for almost two years. My real surname is Li, and if Lord Xu can afford it, he can call me General Li. ”

Xu Liang arched his hand and said, "Oh, it turned out to be General Li." However, even if you are a general now, you are still a father-in-law. ”

Xu Liang's words immediately caused snickering from the generals of the Liang army behind him.

Li Xinbei's face suddenly became very ugly. Seeing this, the fourth lady shouted and asked, "Xu Liang, you are chasing my Li Jiajun and not letting go, is it just for the benefit of your tongue?" ”

"Miss Four, long time no see." Xu Liang arched his hand casually. "This official personally led the army to pursue here, naturally not to make fun of General Li. Instead, there is a military order to eliminate thieves and rebels. ”

"I remember that Lord Xu has already withdrawn, why do you want to come back?" Li Xinbei asked curiously.

"This official has the heavy responsibility of suppressing bandits, and if he goes back empty-handed like this, he can't explain it to the governor of the three sides." Xu Liang said.

"In my impression, Lord Xu is not like the kind of person who is loyal to the court and does his best to do errands. As a civil servant, he has a heavy army. This is like a loyal minister. Li Xinbei sneered.

"But no matter what I say, I'm still an official of the court." Xu Liang said.

"Almost all of my Li family's army has withdrawn, which is equivalent to giving up Jingning City, if Lord Xu wants military merits, Jingning City is at his fingertips. Why bother to mobilize the crowd to chase after me, Li Jiajun? Li Xinbei asked, "Besides, even if Lord Xu wants to make meritorious contributions." I believe that the extermination of the rebels in Guyuan Prefecture will make the court appreciate Lord Xu. Why did Lord Xu abandon the basics? Chasing after me, Li Jiajun? ”

Xu Liang stared at Li Xinbei and asked with a chuckle, "General Li doesn't understand?" ”

"I want to hear about it."

Xu Liang pointed to Li Ting, the fourth lady next to Li Xinbei. said: "Wang Tiqian's death, this official can also be regarded as a contribution. The fourth lady promised the official that day, but it has not been fulfilled so far. The official pursued here today, just to ask the fourth lady to fulfill her original promise. ”

Li Xinbei suddenly remembered the death of Wang Tiqian, the third head of the East Factory. If there was no Xu Liang's instruction, the vanguard officer of the Liang army led Wang Tiqian into a trap, and Li Xinbei really couldn't succeed in killing Wang Tiqian. On the same day, Miss Si agreed to Xu Liang on behalf of Li Xinbei that there were three conditions for cooperation, but none of them seemed to have been fulfilled.

Li Xinbei was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "Today, our Li family's army will withdraw from Pingliang Mansion. ”

One of Xu Liangti's conditions that day was that Li Jiajun should all withdraw from Pingliang Mansion.

Xu Liang shook his head and said, "You know that this official doesn't want to hear this. ”

Li Xinbei sighed and said helplessly: "I know what you want to ask." Regrettably, I will not sue anyone about the whereabouts of the last Diamond Sutra unless I die. ”

Xu Liang's expression was cold, and he asked, "You don't think about it anymore?" You're in your 70s, and you don't have a few days to live, but you don't think about your granddaughter? She was still young, and the good days were just beginning. Because of your selfishness, you will kill her. ”

Li Xinbei glanced at the fourth lady beside her, and the fourth lady held Li Xinbei's hand tightly.

Li Xinbei said coldly: "She won't die, and I won't die so easily." ”

Xu Liang shook his head and sighed, "I'm afraid she's going to die." With that, Xu Liang waved his hand forward vigorously and shouted, "Attack!" ”

Wan Wenshan, the leader of the cavalry battalion of the Liang army, who had been waiting for a long time, clamped his horse's belly between his legs and rushed out first, and behind him, three thousand Liang cavalry followed forward, and the sound of heavy horse hooves resounded through the Shaanxi Valley.

The archers in front of the Liang army's infantry array shot a second round of arrow rain, and the buzzing sound of arrows flew through the sky and landed in front of the Li family's army. Li Jiajun swarmed forward.

The fourth lady escorted Li Xinbei and quickly disappeared into the pro-soldiers, Li Xinbei looked at the Li family army who had been fighting with Liang Cai, and shouted fiercely: "Go!" ”

Li Xinbei is not a fool, although he is not literate, but in terms of wisdom and strategy, Li Xinbei is not under anyone. From the moment he saw Xu Liang at the entrance of the Shaanxi Valley, Li Xinbei knew deeply that if he wanted to fight against the Liang army with his own people alone, there was no chance of winning.

The Liang army is not the officers and soldiers of the waste wood guard in Shaanxi, the Liang army is strictly disciplined and has strong combat power, and it is not weak compared with the border army of the court. From before the Guyuan Mutiny, the Liang army's vanguard battalion and cavalry battalion pursued and killed the Zhongli army, which had retreated to the mountains, over and over again, and it can be seen that the Liang army's combat strength was strong.

However, Li Xinbei originally did not plan to kill the Liang army, he just wanted someone to block the Liang army for a while to buy time for his retreat.

The soldiers escorted Li Xinbei all the way south along the Shaanxi Valley, and several henchmen and generals along the way converged with their soldiers into Li Xinbei's retreating army, leaving their baggage and family members, and running to the south exit of the Shaanxi Valley.

The main force of the rogue army led by Li Xinbei is naturally the Li family army, but there are also many other rogue teams, such as the original rogue leader Guo Tianxing, Shangtianlong, etc.

It was these two people who led the troops in front of Liang Jun. Liang Qi was too fierce, and the soldiers under the Heavenly Dragon were fighting less and less, and there were soldiers who fell to the ground and died at any time. However, Shangtianlong was still insisting, he couldn't retreat, he was waiting for General Li to bring people to help.

A spear pierced the soldier in front of the Heavenly Dragon, the spear had not yet pulled out of the body of the personal soldier, the gurgling blood was still flowing, the Heavenly Dragon shouted, jumped up, and the machete in his hand slashed at the Liang Qi who was riding on horseback much higher than the Heavenly Dragon, and split the Liang Qi who could not draw the gun off the horse.

There was a sound of killing approaching, and Shangtianlong looked up to see that it was the infantry of the Liang army rushing up. The Heavenly Dragon was about to raise his sword and fight again, when the Heavenly Star ran over, and his angry look almost ate people.

"Big brother, stop fighting, withdraw quickly! Li Xinbei took us as a shield, and he himself had already withdrawn! The star shouted.

Shangtianlong looked back in surprise, only to see that in addition to his own personal soldiers, he could not see a single reinforcement of the Li family army behind him, and the panicked family members were holding the burden in their hands and running to the other end of the Shaanxi Valley without their lives.

"Li Xinbei, I'm your ancestor!" The Heavenly Dragon shouted angrily. Turned around and yelled, "Brothers, go!" ”

Xu Liang sat in the carriage, watching the battle in the Shaanxi Valley from a distance, and was surprised by the roar of the Heavenly Dragon, and asked Luo Rucai, the vanguard officer of the Liang Army beside him: "This person is the Heavenly Dragon, right?" ”

"It's him." Luo Rucai said.

"You're not going to go into battle in person, and it's because of this person?"

Luo Rucai lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "He is the sworn elder brother of the last general, although the last general is determined to be loyal to the adult, but he can't attack the sworn eldest brother." ”

Xu Liang nodded and exclaimed: "Righteous enough." Seeing that Wan Wenshan led the Liang army into the Shaanxi Valley, Xu Liang said, "Let's go." (To be continued......)
