"That's unreasonable." Li Shi overturned the table in front of him, and the food on the table was scattered on the floor.
The two middle-aged women who were serving the wine had quick eyes and quick hands, so they grabbed a piece of meat and stuffed it into their mouths.
He walked up to the two rangers who had escaped, swung his arms, slapped each of them hard, and knocked them to the ground. He was still angry and gave each of them a kick.
"Tell me, how many people are there?"
There was only one person on the other side, but he picked three of his own rangers and took away the Flying Bear Flag.
This is simply impossible.
"General, you are such a human being." You Qi covered his face and knelt on the ground crying. "But he is not an ordinary person. He is not only some Yulin, but also the adopted son of the general."
"Fart!" Li Shi was furious and slapped him again. "When did Yang Ding have an adopted son?"
Another ranger cried and said: "It's true. The armor he wears is very beautiful, not something ordinary people can have. The horse he rides is also a real Xiliang horse. Even the Flying Bear Army can't find a few."
…”
Listening to You Qi's explanation, Li Shi was a little suspicious.
From their description, it doesn't sound like they were lying.
He knew that Yang Ding had no adopted son, but who dared to say that Yang Ding could not accept him?
He had heard about that set of armor, but Yang Ding regarded it as a treasure and would not let anyone see it. He also took advantage of Li Jue and begged for a long time before Yang Ding let him take a look.
As for the Xiliang horses, it is not surprising that any distinguished Xiliang general does not have a few good horses around him. But such good horses cannot be given away easily. Only those who can really make Yang Ding fancy are qualified.
Get such a gift.
Is he really Yang Dingxin’s adopted son?
Li Shi sent someone to invite Hu Feng to discuss the matter.
After listening to You Qi's narration, Hu Feng felt that he was similar to Li Shi. This young warrior wearing fine armor and riding a Xiliang horse was probably Yang Dingxin's adopted son.
People in Liangzhou respected warriors, and when they saw a young warrior, they either married off their daughters or adopted them as adopted sons.
Yang Ding has no daughter to marry, so it is more likely that he will be adopted as his adopted son.
Li Shi became even more angry and yelled, "This old man dares to kill a member of our Flying Bear Army and seize the battle flag of my Flying Bear Army? I won't skin him until I skin him."
Hu Feng frowned and said nothing.
Although what was taken away was just an ordinary general's flag, which was completely different from a real battle flag, Li Shi had always been conceited. This was the first time he had encountered such a thing since taking charge of the Flying Bear Army, and he was inevitably furious.
It seems that the war is about to be avoided.
It's just that the Flying Bear Army is cavalry and cannot be used to attack Yang Ding's camp defended by deep trenches and high fences. Only the infantry led by him can go into battle.
Using two to three thousand infantry to attack Yang Ding's camp defended by four to five thousand people has no chance of winning.
"Ah Shi, don't be impulsive. It's better to think long term."
"What's the long-term plan?" Li Shi was furious, shouting at the top of his lungs, almost spitting on Hu Feng's face. "What's the long-term plan? Sit in front of Yang Ding's camp to demonstrate and ask him to return the body and battle flag?"
Hu Feng raised his sleeves to block Li Shi's attack, his smile becoming increasingly bitter.
Li Shi was extremely impulsive today, like an angry flying bear, and he wasn't sure he could stop him.
Before setting off, he didn't expect such a thing to happen.
"Ashi, it's better to report to Da Sima. This matter is not something we can do..."
"Reporting to Da Sima will embarrass me?" Li Shi suddenly calmed down and sneered.
Hu Feng complained endlessly.
Unintentionally, he got into trouble again and touched Li Shi's reverse scale.
The person Li Shi was most worried about was not his younger brothers or uncles, but his cousin.
Only he is most likely to succeed Li Shi and become the general leading the Flying Bear Army.
Facing Li Shi, whose eyes were red and his eyes were sharp, Hu Feng had no way to retreat, so he had to bite the bullet and ask for orders, take the initiative to attack Yang Ding's camp, and ask Li Shi to lead the flying bear army to raid the formation for him and protect his rear wing.
Li Shi's expression softened slightly and he readily agreed.
Hu Feng left the central army and returned to his camp. He immediately called a close aide and asked him to rush to Li Jue's camp and report to Li Jue.
Anyone with a bit of common sense in military operations would know that he and Li Shi alone would not be able to capture Yang Ding's camp, and would definitely suffer a bloody blow.
——
Liu Xie was sitting on a small horse bed, looking at the Xiliang army slowly arranging their troops down the hillside. He was so angry that he wanted to curse.
Guo Si is so stubborn, you should attack quickly.
You're such a stinky person, you're just showing off, come here quickly and let me beat you hard and make you angry.
But Guo Si obviously didn't think so. He left the camp only three o'clock in the morning. The sun was in the west. The position was not ready yet, and he did not launch an attack.
Not even tentatively.
He was not lining up to prepare for an attack at all, but a performance.
What about your mother?
Liu Xie was so angry that he wanted to be violent, but because of the minister's arrogance, he had to save some dignity.
Hearing that Guo Si was about to launch an attack on the left wing, except for Yang Biao who was on an envoy to Hedong and Sun Rui, who was in charge of the army, all the other ministers came to watch the battle.
It is said that it is to encourage the soldiers, but in fact it is more out of emotion.
In front of these ministers who were full of poems and books, Liu Xie had to restrain himself.
Just when Liu Xie was impatient, Ding Chong, who was left behind, rushed over from the imperial camp and reported a piece of news.
Hu Feng was attacking the Yang Ding camp. The offensive was very fierce. The sound of war drums could be heard far away. The soldiers and their families in the camp were very nervous. Shi Sunrui asked him to come and report and see why the fighting was so fierce there.
, but there was no movement at all.
Liu Xie was also confused.
Li Shi and Hu Feng attack Yang Ding?
In his opinion, this is the least likely battle among several battlefields.
Although the Flying Bear Army is elite, it is not suitable for attacking fortresses. Hu Feng's infantry is limited in number, so even if he looks down on Yang Ding, he will not be so wasteful.
"Isn't it a plan to use suspicion?" Someone started to get suspicious.
"Maybe Yang Ding surrendered and cooperated with Li Shi to lure His Majesty to reinforce him." More ideas emerged.
Liu Xie couldn't figure out the situation and was going crazy.
In front of Guo Si, Li Shi and Hu Feng watched Yang Feng. In front of the flying bear army's cavalry, he did not dare to sacrifice his few cavalry in vain. The communication between him and Yang Ding was almost cut off, and Yang Ding had no idea what to do.
Current situation.
What a command, what a confidence, now he only has a pot of confusion in his mind.
To say I'm not panicking would be a lie.
Do you want to send someone to take a look?
Fortunately, Guo Si didn't give him too much time to hesitate. The war drums rang at the right time. Groups of Xiliang infantry walked out of the position, either holding swords, shields, spears or halberds, or holding bows and crossbows, and came to the front of the formation one after another.
.
Watching the crossbowman cautiously approach within the shooting range, draw the crossbow and shoot, and watch the sword and shield man take long strides and start charging, Liu Xie's heartbeat gradually returned to calmness.
Regardless of whether Yang Ding surrendered or not, there was only one thing for him to consider now, which was to repel Guo Si's attack, defend the position, and save the last glimmer of hope for the Han Dynasty.
"Bang the drum, get ready to fight." Liu Xie shouted.
"Wei!" Shi A responded loudly, walked to the edge of the general platform, raised the general in his hand, and shook it vigorously.
As the war drums sounded, a war drum soared into the sky, leaped more than a hundred steps, shot through a wooden shield with an arrow, and knocked to the ground the Xiliang infantry who was charging behind the wooden shield with a sword raised.
Immediately afterwards, the strong crossbow captain who was facing the enemy roared loudly, and hundreds of feather arrows roared out.
