Chapter 177: Brothers Meet

Li Cunxun, who was standing on the top of the city wall, saw that it was his younger brother Li Siyuan on the hillside, and he was not only overjoyed in his heart.

Among the thirteen adopted sons adopted by his father, the one Li Cunxun likes and admires the most is this younger brother Li Siyuan.

He was now wondering in his heart how he could take his brother into the city.

But seeing that the morale of the Liang army was high, the formation was neat, wearing iron armor and wearing a gold helmet, the iron armor and helmet were decorated with gorgeous silk fabrics, engraved gold and silver patterns, and the brilliance was flashing, and the soldiers of the Jin army looked down from the city, and their morale was low.

Li Cunxian's brows were furrowed, his eyes flashed with a look of loss and depression, and he said to himself: "Liang Jun is so strong......!"

Zhou Dewei, the general behind him, was displeased when he heard his words, and shouted in a loud voice: "The purpose of the Liang people is not to fight, it is clearly to show off the strength of the army, and if you don't dampen their spirit, you can't cheer up our army's ......!"

Then he looked around at the officers and soldiers guarding the city, and said sharply: "They all belong to the Tianwu Army of Bianzhou, they are all butchers, drunkards, mercenaries, traders, etc., although their clothes and armor are bright, they are not one in ten. Catching one of them is enough to make yourself rich, this is a strange commodity, you can't miss it......!"

Then he said to Li Cun: "General Li asked me to personally lead a thousand elite cavalry, rush out, and take the second general into the city!"

Li Cunxuan looked back at his uncle Li Kening behind him, because his uncle Li Kening had a very high prestige in the army, and he had rich combat experience, and there were many major matters, which were basically decided by him.

Li Kening saw his nephew Li Cunxuan looking at him, knowing that he obviously couldn't make up his mind, so he hurriedly looked outside the city, and then nodded.

Seeing his uncle's approval, Li Cunxun immediately turned to Zhou Dewei, "The general must be careful ......!"

Zhou Dewei received the order, and immediately became full of spirits and said energetically: "Please rest assured General Li, I will kill them without leaving a piece of armor and take back the second general!"

Then Zhou Dewei ran down the city tower, brandished a hammer, and led a thousand light horsemen out of the city.

The Liang army, which had just been harassed by Shi Jianjiao's 100 light cavalry, stepped up their vigilance, knowing that there would definitely be men and horses in the city. So the formation has already been set. and waited for the officers and soldiers of the city to come from the net.

30,000 infantry and cavalry, under the leadership of Han Qing, the general of Houliang and other generals, met Zhou Dewei's 1,000 cavalry who rushed out of the city in three ways.

More than 1,000 elite cavalry led by Zhou Dewei attacked both ends of the Liang army's formation, galloping left and right, entering and exiting the enemy's army formation many times, but there was no progress, and it was difficult to break through the Liang army's iron bucket-like formation.

Although Dulwich is brave and good at fighting this week, he is not alone on the battlefield, he needs the strength of an all-out body.

Seeing that Zhou Dewei was rushing left and right, it was difficult to break out of the camp of the Liang army, and returned to the city.

Li Cunxuan, who was watching the enemy's formation on the city wall, saw that Zhou Dewei had returned in vain, and his heart was greatly displeased, and his face became gloomy, "General Zhou, why don't you take advantage of the victory to pursue it?"

Zhou Dewei groaned slightly, and then smiled "hehe", "The enemy's momentum is very strong, we will temporarily retreat, hold our troops still, and wait for their morale to fall ......!"

Li Cunxuan said: "My brother came from afar to solve our difficulties, you just said that this Liang army is not one in ten, so in this case, to deal with this not very good army, we should fight quickly." Why do you hold your arms and hold on to your strength?"

Zhou Dewei saw that Li Cunxun was dissatisfied with him, and hurriedly explained: "The current Liang army is good at holding the city, but it is short of field combat. Our army is armed with cavalry, which is good at fighting in the plains and wilderness, and can gallop on horseback. Now the confrontation is too close to the gate of the barracks, and there is no place for the war horse to show its four legs. Besides, it is very dangerous to fight more with less!"

Li Cunxun was not happy, waved his sleeves and left, got off the city wall, retreated into the palace and lay on the bed, silent.

Throwing down a bunch of generals, standing there awkwardly, no one dared to speak.

Zhou Dewei looked at Zhang Chengye, the superintendent, with a gloomy expression, "General Li is really a little underestimated and pursues a quick victory. Now they are within easy reach of the enemy, separated by only a river between the two armies. If the enemy builds a bridge and crosses the river and advances our army, it will be especially troublesome for our army to defend the city. It is better for us to lure the enemy out of the camp, and when they attack, we will return to the city, and when they return to the camp, we will attack. Send light cavalry to rob them of logistical supplies, and you will win!"

Zhang Chengye hurriedly nodded yes. After going down the city wall, he walked into Li Cunxian's mansion, pushed open the door, and saw Li Cunxun lying on the bed, his eyes staring at the ceiling in a daze.

He smiled and said, "It's rare for a general to sleep peacefully now?" Zhou Dewei is a veteran and knows how to fight, don't ignore his words. ”

Li Cunmiao got up suddenly and said, "I'm thinking about his words, and his words are reasonable, but my brother must enter the city immediately, so I was ......in a hurry just now!"

Zhang Chengye smiled "hehe", "As long as there is a general's words, it will be easy to do, let's go up to the city wall to watch the battle together!"

Li Cunxun followed Zhang Chengye to the city wall, because he had just brushed his sleeves away, and he was a little embarrassed to expose everyone there.

Seeing Zhou Dewei, he hurriedly greeted, "When does General Zhou plan to rush out?"

Zhou Dewei smiled, "General Li, I think it's the ...... now!"

Then he pointed with his hand, "Look at the two generals, after our rush and killing just now, they noticed that at this time, the whole group of men and horses is preparing to kill down the mountain! We cooperate here and outside, and we will definitely be able to defeat the Liang army in one fell swoop!"

Li Cunxun immediately said happily: "Okay——! after General Zhou waits for you to kill you, I will follow with a large number of people, and today we will definitely kill Liang Jun by surprise!"

The Liang army outside the city originally thought that the two groups of soldiers and horses in the city and outside the city were so vulnerable that they had escaped and would not come back.

At this time, it was almost noon, and the Liang military camp was full of smoke and began to bury the pot to cook.

The soldiers in the camp had already begun to disarm and rest their horses, and the 351 group was sitting on the ground, ready to eat, but they did not expect a thousand light horsemen to rush out of the city. The sentry was caught off guard, panicked, and hurriedly blew the emergency horn.

The soldiers who were about to wait for dinner heard the sound of the emergency horn and hurriedly put on their clothes, but they were not as handy as when they were fully prepared every day.

When the Liang army rushed out of the camp in a panic and set up a formation, the thousand light cavalry led by Zhou Dewei in the city had already rushed to the front with lightning speed, like a tiger descending from the mountain, unstoppable.

When Li Siyuan on the hillside saw this, he hurriedly waved his lance and shouted: "Rush! We will kill the camp of the Liang army......!"

The first to rush down, followed by the other soldiers, pouring down like a flash flood, unstoppable.

These two sides are attacked, and the Liang army has exploded, Gu can't take care of the front and back, and Gu can't take care of the tail.

The generals couldn't hold it anymore, no matter how they shouted, no one listened, and they were really defeated.

At this time, Li Cunxun also led a large number of men and horses to rush out of the city to reinforce Zhou Dewei.

Zhou Dewei was overjoyed when he saw it, and the hammer danced even more like flying, stained with death, and suffered from death.

When the soldiers of the Liang army saw it, they dispersed in a hurry, and shouted: "It's a big deal, Grandpa Lei has gone down to ......!"

When Dulwich heard about it that week, he became even more proud, his emotions were high, and he was even more handy. This means that people are in good spirits when they are happy, and they are smooth.

After only a short time of fighting, the Liang army was defeated like a mountain, and the dead died, and the rest abandoned the village and fled.

The generals of the Liang army also had no fighting spirit, and began to retreat as the soldiers began.

Zhou Dewei hurriedly shouted: "Liang Bing has escaped!"

This shout shook the morale and confidence of the Liang army even more.

The soldiers hurriedly abandoned their weapons and fled, really hating their parents for giving birth to two legs for themselves.

Li Siyuan led a thousand light cavalry and fought into the western formation.

Seeing that there was a stubborn resistance in the western formation, he had an idea and shouted loudly: "The soldiers of the eastern position have already escaped, and now you are the only ones fighting alone, and if you don't surrender quickly, what are you waiting for?"

When Li Cunxuan saw it from afar, he laughed "haha" and secretly admired this brother of his, who was very clever, and was really a soldier who surrendered without a fight.

Li Kening led the infantry to chase the fleeing Hou Liang soldiers and shouted: "Liang people and we are all human beings, and those who transport military rations will not kill ......!"

As a result, the soldiers of the Great Liang all took off their armor and threw away their weapons, and the noise was earth-shattering.

It took two hours for this big battle to end.

The Jin army won a complete victory, and seized countless grains, grasses, and equipment.

Four or five thousand soldiers of the Liang army were captured, and those who were willing to return to the Jin army were to be absorbed. Those who didn't want to stay in the barracks were given travel expenses and sent home, which also appeased and bought people's hearts for a while.

The two groups of people finally converged, and everyone cheered, and then stepped forward to ask for warmth.

Some of the soldiers who had been guarding Luzhou City all the year round pulled the familiar officers and soldiers from Jinyang to inquire about their own situation.

Li Siyuan hurriedly stepped forward to meet his eldest brother, and the two jumped off the horse at the same time, holding hands for a long time and reluctant to separate.

Li Cunxun saw that Li Siyuan's eyes showed melancholy and sadness, and hurriedly asked, "Brother——! is there something at home?"

Li Siyuan nodded heavily, choked up, and said, "Big brother, daddy, he ......!"

Then, I can't talk anymore.

Li Cunxun understood everything at once, and immediately his face was pale, his eyebrows were locked, and his eyes revealed fear and helplessness, "Daddy is sick, right?!"

"Uh-huh......" Li Siyuan nodded.

Li Cunxun let out a long sigh, he knew that his father's illness must be very serious, otherwise, his brother would not have traveled thousands of miles to deliver a letter to him.

His tears fell at once, because Daddy was so strong in his mind, he didn't believe that Daddy would fall one day, but was this day really coming so soon?
