Chapter 20: The Silver Is Gone
The two enemy generals stopped Li Yu, looked at each other, and did not answer Li Yu's question, each raised the long knife in his hand and slashed at Li Yu's head.
The long knife Huohuo flickered in the sunlight, and the cold air on it was extremely dazzling.
Li Yu saw that the other party did not talk, and the blade pointed straight to him to greet him, and his heart was extremely angry.
The spear shook, met the blades of the two soldiers, left and right, swinged away the blades of the enemy generals, and then with a stirrup on his right foot, the horses under the seat turned to the right, and he didn't know when there was an extra long sword in his hand, and under the swing, it was already pierced into the heart of one of the generals.
Adding a sword to a gun is the most diligent kung fu that Li Yu has practiced in the past two days.
The conquest in the era of cold weapons relied on swords, guns and weapons, if he didn't have such kung fu, I was afraid that it would be difficult to save his life in the battle array, so Li Yu relied on his special forces experience in martial arts to practice this stunt.
The remaining enemy general couldn't help but feel chills in his heart when he saw that Li Yu was powerful, and turned his horse away, but he made a very loud whistle in his mouth, and then ordered the flag to shake in the air and ordered the soldiers to retreat.
Li Yu killed two enemy generals in a row, and his heart was even more courageous, and with a shake of the spear in his hand, he was about to chase after him, but he was stopped by Tang Hong, who was covering up at the moment.
"Your Highness Six, the defeated soldiers can't be chased, the most important thing for us now is to protect things and rush to Chizhou."
Looking back at Tang Hong, who was covered in blood, and seeing that the enemy troops had indeed withdrawn one after another, Li Yu's anger and the aroused fighting spirit calmed down a little.
However, after being besieged and killed by the enemy for a long time, Li Yu still couldn't swallow this breath, so he looked at the enemy general who fled in the distance and saw that he was about 100 meters away from him.
He gritted his teeth, flicked his right arm abruptly, and threw the spear in his hand like a javelin.
The spear turned into a dragon in the air, catching up with the fleeing enemy general like lightning.
The enemy general He had expected that the enemy behind him would suddenly throw a spear to attack him, and the spear was quite long, and there were not many people who could throw a spear a hundred meters away in ancient times, at this moment Li Yu was sitting on a horse, if he threw a spear, he would inevitably need inertia and strong arm strength.
Therefore, 100 meters away, without hearing the sound of the bowstring, the enemy general will retreat boldly and confidently, without fear of a sneak attack.
The spear drew an extremely graceful parabola in the air, and finally pierced the back of the enemy general's heart with extreme accuracy.
The enemy general screamed and fell off his horse, and saw that he was not alive.
Seeing Li Yu's extreme bravery, three of his generals were killed, and he knew that he could not fight anymore, and the army's morale had already been weakened, so the general order was issued and retreated quickly, so the enemy army withdrew very quickly for a while.
Seeing the enemy's withdrawal, Li Yu let out a sigh of relief, and he couldn't help but be afraid.
If it doesn't lift up its power just now, I'm afraid that the whole army will be wiped out in the end.
Tang Hong's eyes looking at Li Yu at this moment were very different, according to his original thoughts, even if His Royal Highness Six had some skills, I am afraid that he might not be able to make a difference in the Ten Thousand Horse Army, and if he didn't do it, he would have to protect himself.
However, the withdrawal of the enemy army this time was all thanks to the action of the Sixth Highness, and from this point he could already see that the efforts of the Sixth Highness were not comparable to his own, so Tang Hongda began to admire Li Yu from the bottom of his heart.
Seeing Tang Hong, who was covered in blood, looking at him, Li Yu smiled bitterly, clapped his hands, and said, "Okay, hurry up and check the things to see if there is any loss, the injured brother hurry up and bandage it, we need to rush to Chizhou immediately." ”
Tang Hong listened to Li Yu's words, then he recovered from his stunned, nodded and took orders, immediately turned around to check the goods and money, and asked the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and count the number of losses.
After this battle, nearly 2,000 people were killed and wounded, but there was no loss of goods.
There was no loss of things, Li Yu's heart was also put down a lot, and he spit out a breath of turbidity, Li Yu saw that the team was reorganized, and immediately sent an order to rush to Chizhou.
This place is only a hundred miles away from Chizhou, and the group hurried to the city, and came to the city of Chizhou in the evening.
Chizhou, in Li Yu's memory, during the Southern Tang Dynasty, he was the envoy of the Jiedu, which was actually called the Kanghua Army at that time, and controlled Guichi County. It is under the jurisdiction of the central government, but the establishment is a military system, and the governance is a fish and a noble mouth.
The Chizhou City they went to at this moment was actually Yuguikou.
When the soldiers approached the city, Li Yu ordered people to go to the city to shout the city, so that the garrison generals would come out to greet the brigade at this moment.
The general who guarded Yuguikou was Lu Jiang.
Li Yu was overjoyed to learn that the person guarding here was Lu Jiang.
Li Yu, who is well aware of history, of course, knows that Lu Jiang is a loyal and good general of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and his strategy and knowledge are excellent.
At this moment, Lu Jiang has not really been reused, although he is guarding here, but it is only because there is a vacancy in Chizhou, he is a patrol along the river, and he is temporarily leading troops to guard here.
Li Yu was very happy to be able to meet the famous generals of the Southern Tang Dynasty, at least Li Yu thought that this person was of great use, and he would definitely be able to become his right-hand man in the future, so he made up his mind to make friends with Lu Jiang.
Lu Jiang had already received the report, and the court sent people to reward the three armies, and the leader was the current Sixth Highness, so the whole team came out to greet him.
Lu Jiang is about sixty years old, but he looks energetic and does not look old.
Seeing that Li Yu was immediately in front of the team, Lu Jiang hurriedly turned over and dismounted, walked over with a tiger's step, and gave a deep salute to Li Yu on the horse: "His Royal Highness Sixth came from afar, and the ministers greeted him late, please forgive your Highness." ”
Li Yu saw Lu Jiang giving him a salute, so he hurriedly rolled the saddle and dismounted, took two steps forward, held it up, patted the other party's shoulder hard, and said: "The old general is exempt, you guard the gate for my Southern Tang Town, and your hard work is high, you are the pillar stone of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Congjia is just a child, how can you afford the general's gift." ”
Li Yu said very humbly, without the slightest look of arrogance, which moved Lu Jiang greatly.
The Southern Tang Dynasty was not founded for a long time, but the people in the royal family were comfortable for a long time, and its decadent atmosphere became more and more serious.
Regardless of the people in the royal family, even those dignitaries and nobles above the court, when they saw that the official rank was smaller than them, they were also arrogant, how could they have whispered to Li Yu like this, and they were not humble.
"His Royal Highness the Sixth is falsely praised, the old minister is just doing his best, and the minister likes water warfare the most, and he can guard here, and he doesn't dare to take credit." Lu Jiang hurriedly became modest, he was old, and he was no longer as frivolous and heroic as when he was young.
Li Yu smiled slightly, took Lu Jiang's hand, and said, "The old general doesn't need to be so polite, let's enter the city together." ”
Lu Jiang nodded, and then ordered the soldiers in the city to lead the army into the city to rest.
While the two were walking, Li Yu told him about his coming, and when he finally talked about the attack just now, Lu Jiang couldn't help frowning.
In the area under his jurisdiction, there was such a mess, but he didn't know it, which was a big slap in the face.
When Lu Jiang was thinking in his heart, how to find out the way of the people who ambushed Li Yu and robbed the official and silver military quartermasters, and also gave an explanation to the Sixth Highness, the two of them had already come to the Chizhou Mansion.
The two of them just sat down, but unexpectedly, Tang Hong stepped in, seeing that he looked anxious, a large bead of sweat rolled down on his forehead, and as soon as he entered the room, he didn't have time to salute Li Yu, and said breathlessly: "Your Highness Six, it's not good, we, the silver we escorted, it's gone." ”
