Li Rui cupped his fists at Qian Shixiong and said,""General Qian's martial arts are strong, Li Rui is willing to lose!”
Qian Shixiong cupped his hands in return and said,"You don't have to be polite. I know I lost."?”After saying that, he lowered his head and pulled off his iron helmet. A cold eagle feather was inserted into the tassel of his helmet. If it was a little higher, it would definitely be sent flying. If it was a little lower, it would not be the iron helmet that would be shattered, but his head.
"If it wasn't for General Qian's mercy, Li Rui would have fallen from his horse long ago. How could he have had the chance to shoot an arrow at General!”Li Rui said modestly. After this battle, he had already become famous in the army. In the end, the Left Military Guard was one of their own, and now it was time to mend their relationship.
Qian Shixiong waved his hand and said loudly,"Don't be so humble." If you had injured me with the arrow from the start, how would I have had the chance to stab the first spear? A loss was a loss. I, Qian Shixiong, am not a sore loser! Oh right, kid, why did you stay where you were from the beginning to the end? Are you looking down on me?"
"No!" Li Rui said with a black face.
"Then why?" Qian Shixiong was even more confused.
"Because I don't know how to ride a horse!" Li Rui puffed up his cheeks and said.
"What?" Qian Shixiong was stunned for a moment before he laughed out loud. Kid, you don't know how to ride a horse, but you can actually take ten of my moves on a horse. I'm afraid you can beat me even without a bow and arrow!”
"But I don't know how to ride a horse. Therefore, General's hypothesis is invalid!" Li Rui continued modestly.
Just as the two of them were feeling resentful and regretful, the messenger sent the order of the General of the Left Military Guards, ordering the two of them to go to the General's Platform to talk. Li Rui and Qian Shixiong looked at each other and smiled. They walked side by side to the platform.
At this moment, the brothers around the drill ground were so lively that they were in a mess. The grain guards held their heads high, and the prefecture soldiers were also laughing their heads off. Everyone pointed at him and said that General Qian was unlucky. He had fought for half his life and was actually cheated by a young boy. As for the grudges between the two sides, they had long been thrown out of the clouds.
On the platform, General Mai Tiezhang of the Left Military Guard ordered his men to present Qian Shixiong's helmet to him. He examined it over and over again. Then, he stood up and walked to the side of the platform. He asked Li Rui," Kid, are you interested in joining my Left Military Guard?"”
Hearing this, Li Yuan's face immediately darkened. Only Iron Staff Mai could do such a blatant act of poaching.
"Li Rui is extremely grateful for Great General's favor. However, I have not yet repaid the kindness of Tang Gong's kindness. I'm sorry but I can't obey your order!”Li Rui said righteously. What a joke, the Left Guard was just cannon fodder this time. Only a fool would go to the Left Guard.
This answer was exactly what Ironstaff Mai wanted. Although he liked Li Rui, he liked Li Rui's loyalty even more. Li Yuan, who was beside him, also looked pleased. As for what Li Rui was thinking, they didn't know.
Now that things had developed to this point, the enmity between the two armies had been resolved. Mai Tiezhang and Li Yuan exchanged a few pleasantries and smiled as they brushed the matter aside.
Mai Tiezhang pulled Li Yuan with one hand and Li Rui with the other, saying with a smile,"I haven't had such a good time in a long time." Since you're in my army, why don't we go drink to our heart's content?”
The generals beside him laughed loudly, and the storm dissipated in their laughter.
In the next few days, the Left Military Guards and the grain guards went back and forth to entertain each other and drank happily every day. During this period, Li Rui also bought a few bottles of good wine such as Moutai and Wuliang Liquor from the system store. They had never drunk such delicious wine before, so they drank even more.
For four or five days, Li Rui spent his days in a state of being drunk and drunk. His days were meaningless, but he also lived very smoothly.
That night, not long after Li Rui fell asleep, he suddenly heard the shrill sound of a horn and immediately sat up. Although the battle had not officially begun, this was the frontline closest to Goguryeo. Perhaps some Korean could not help but come and steal the camp.
Li Rui quickly put on his clothes, grabbed his saber, and rushed out of the door. He saw several flames rising in the direction of the city center. The shouts of people and the neigh of horses filled the ears. The entire camp was in chaos.
Some people tried to break into the camp during the chaos, but they were blocked by the Li Residence's veterans who were lying in ambush in the dark. The soldiers on duty rushed up to help under the leadership of the low-ranking officers, but they were defeated by the enemy's counterattack. The defeated soldiers pushed and shoved their archers away. The attackers outside saw the advantage and shouted as they pressed forward.
Li Rui grabbed the long lance in the hands of a soldier next to him and went against the flow of people. He pushed the soldiers who had collapsed down twice in a row and forcefully blocked the door. He rushed to Wu Shi, Cui Jianren, and the others who had followed him and said,"Gather the entire regiment and line up at the door. Those who retreat will be killed!" He was now the actual commander of this regiment.
Cui Jianren and Zheng Chong were colonel generals, while Wu Shi, Lu Huaji, and Wang Ba were team leaders. Hearing this, they immediately started to gather the troops.
"Huo Shui, take your men and charge forward with me. The rest of you, gather your troops and guard the camp gate!”Li Rui shouted as he waved his blade and rushed forward. Wu Shi Yao led his team of 50 people and followed closely behind Li Rui.
In the blink of an eye, Li Rui had already passed through the scattered soldiers with Wu Shi and the others, and had already killed their way to the same place as the invading enemy. The opposing side actually did not have many people. They did not expect that the rumored grain guards who could not withstand a single blow would be able to return so quickly. Caught off guard, several of them were hacked to death by Li Rui's saber.
The attacking enemy was obviously stunned by Li Rui's bravery, and the intensity of their attacks unconsciously slowed down.
With Li Rui as the backbone, the morale of the grain guards immediately soared, and they shouted as they counterattacked.
In less than fifteen minutes, the enemies were all killed. This made Li Rui worry again. The enemy was too weak, it was abnormal.
"Retreat. Anyone within 100 steps of the camp wall will be shot to death!”Li Rui shouted aggressively and led his "victorious" brothers back in big strides.
The order in the camp had slowly been restored. The soldiers who had been awakened from their sleep instinctively tried to escape, but they were stopped by the captains, brigadier generals, and their trusted aides. When a certain number of people gathered, everyone's courage began to grow. Seeing that the brothers of Regiment A were in good order, the lieutenants of the other three regiments also calmed the soldiers down.
Wu Shi Hui and the others were still talking about the battle just now in high spirits, but when they saw Li Rui's gloomy face and not saying anything, their voices immediately became softer. "Brother Rui, we won. Why aren't you happy?" the warrior asked with a laugh.”
"Because we're not the enemy's main target at all, so what's there to be happy about?" Li Rui said unhappily.”
