The next morning.
When Yuwen Chengdu, Li Cunxiao, and the others recovered the five cities of Liaodong Prefecture.
After receiving Qin Mu's order, they gathered together and rushed towards Chang City. After marching day and night, they finally arrived at Chang City. At that moment, the flag that was fluttering on the city wall was Gongsun Zan's.
Seeing this,
Li Cunxiao urged his horse forward and stopped at a hundred meters away. He said in a clear voice,
"Soldiers on the city walls, listen up. I am Li Cunxiao, the Qin Prefecture Governor of Liaodong Prefecture. "You have invaded my border for no reason. Today, my prefect is furious and orders you to surrender obediently. If you are unwilling, the army will attack the city. When the city is broken, you will die."”
His bold voice was transmitted to the city wall.
As soon as he finished speaking,
A general stood out from the city wall. The latter drew his bow and shot an arrow at the ground not far from Li Cunxiao. Then, he said,
"Hmph, what Li Cunxiao? I've never heard of him before. I'm Tian Yu, a subordinate of Beiping Prefecture Governor Gongsun Zan. This is Beiping Prefecture. Leave quickly!"
"As for what you said just now, the matter of invading the border was only because I heard that there was a rebellion in your county, so I helped.”
Li Cunxiao, who was originally furious, heard his words.
He immediately sneered,
He naturally knew that what Tian Yu said was just an excuse.
Hence, he did not wish to continue speaking nonsense. He immediately said in a clear voice,"Hmph, since we don't see eye to eye, it's useless to say more. Haha, if you have guts, why don't you go out of the city and fight? Let's see the real martial arts under our swords and spears."
As he spoke,
He raised the Yu King Spear in his hand and pointed it at the city wall.
In any case, his lord's order was to conquer Chang City, so there was naturally no need to worry about anything.
In Li Cunxiao's opinion, the so-called law was worse than toilet paper.
As for Tian Yu on the city wall,
After hearing Li Cunxiao's words, he couldn't help but frown. He had thought that after mentioning Gongsun Zan, the other party would be cautious. However, he didn't expect the latter to still want to start a war. It was obvious that he didn't want to rest until one of them died.
He didn't expect the Mayor of Liaodong Prefecture to be so tough.
Only then did he gain a foothold in Liaodong County.
He wanted to challenge the biggest warlord in Youzhou Province.
One had to know,
Gongsun Zan had been around Beiping for many years, and his strength was not something Gongsun Du could compare to.
"What's wrong? Could it be that General Tian only dared to talk? You actually don't dare to fight with me?"
Seeing that the latter did not come out, Li Cunxiao once again mocked.
As soon as he said this,
Gongsun Zan's army on the city walls of Chang City revealed some anger on their faces.
When had they ever suffered such a loss in Youzhou?
Especially Tian Yu, whose face was flushed red. In recent years, he had followed Gongsun Zan to war and could be considered to have a small reputation. Now, he was actually provoked by a fellow who was not famous. How could he not be angry?
At that moment,
His eyes were filled with anger.
"Hmph, you're just a brat who's still wet behind the ears. You actually dare to provoke a certain clan? Hmph, when I was fighting everywhere, you were nowhere to be seen. Do you really think that you can compete with me just because you won against a few barbarians? What a joke!"
"Since you're looking for death, don't blame me for being impolite.”
As he spoke, Tian Yu took the weapon from the soldier beside him.
After all, he was a general who had been famous for a long time. How could he tolerate Li Cunxiao's provocation? Moreover, the gazes of the surrounding soldiers were enough to explain everything. If he didn't accept today's battle, he would have been killed.
In the future, his prestige in the army would probably be swept away.
After all,
If the other party's strength far exceeded his, even if he did not accept it, there was nothing to say. However, if he did not dare to accept the challenge as a general, even if it would be a joke, how would he lead the army in the future?
He immediately planned to lead the army out of the city.
The strategist beside him said,"
"General Tian, please wait. Before General Gongsun Zan left, he instructed us not to attack rashly. Right now, our main force is not in Beiping. Once we open the city, the enemy will take advantage of the situation to attack. Moreover, I saw that the enemy's formation was strict and their equipment was elite. They were clearly soldiers who had been through hundreds of battles. We can't be careless!”
The strategist hurriedly reminded.
Originally, it would have been unreasonable for them to take advantage of the internal strife in Liaodong to send troops to occupy other people's cities. Moreover, now that this army had arrived at the city gates, it would have been impossible for them to do so.
Presumably, the five cities that they had previously occupied were probably already in danger.
If they went out of the city to fight at this time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Humph? If they didn't leave the city to fight, would they allow him to laugh at them? The enemy was an elite, so could it be that our army was a group that could be bullied at will? Get out of my way!"
Looking at the strategist beside him, Tian Yu could not help but frown.
Years of battlefield experience.
He naturally knew very well that the combat strength of this army below the city was probably extraordinary, but so what? Most of them were cavalrymen, so how could they fly over the city walls on horseback? Furthermore, there were no heavy siege weapons. So what if they really attacked the city?
Therefore, he didn't care at all.
Immediately, he led the army out of the city. The army lined up in a row, looking quite heroic.
Tian Yu rode his horse forward and came to the empty space at the front of the army. He held a long knife in his hand and looked at Li Cunxiao in the enemy army. He said,"How is it? I've already come down. Are you going to fight or not?”
"Good! Seeing that you're a brave man, I'll give you one last chance. If you're willing to abandon the city and surrender now, I can still give you a way out.”Looking at Tian Yu who came out of the city, Li Cunxiao looked at him seriously.
After all, generals who dared to fight were worthy of respect.
"Hmph, a way out? In my opinion, it can't be that you're afraid, right? If that's the case, then leave quickly and I can pretend that nothing happened.”
Tian Yu laughed coldly when he heard this.
In his opinion, Li Cunxiao should really be a nobody. Otherwise, why would he say such words? Therefore, he became even more arrogant.
"Good, good, good. Then I'll fulfill your wish!"
Li Cunxiao's gaze turned cold as he gripped the Yu King Spear tightly.
I've already got the heart to kill,
Initially, he wanted to give this fellow a way out. However, who would have thought that the other party would actually think that he was afraid and even insulted him. Since that was the case, what else could he say? They could only fight to the death!
