The garrison commander Xu Bin and Li Qi were less than twenty feet apart, and they were almost twenty feet away from the crenel on the inside of the north city gate tower. Under the light of the torch, Yao Xishui could clearly see Xu Bin's skinny face staring at the city without saying a word.

Inside the doorway.

Unfortunately, there were dozens of elite guards on Xu Bin's left and right, watching the movements on the left and right like civet cats, and there was no way to kill them with bows and arrows.

At this time, nearly three hundred well-armed soldiers of the Nanya Imperial Guard had already come from the barracks near the county government and were attacking the city gate at her feet.

Previously, Li Qi led his soldiers to guard the city gate. He could see that in a small space of more than ten feet, the soldiers and horses were becoming more and more crowded. Yao Xishui doubted that the surge of soldiers could forcefully overthrow the thirty soldiers led by Li Qi in front of the city gate.

The defense line formed by many people broke out.

Yao Xishui was also frightened, her heart was beating so fast that it was about to fly out of her throat. She knew very well that whether she could withstand this wave of offensive was crucial.

The situation did not worry her for too long. The next moment she saw Li Qi letting go, like a fierce tiger descending from the mountain, charging out from the inside of the city gate. Each halberd slashed out, like a dim rainbow light blooming in the night.

.

Even if the defenders who came up were strong, most of them were holding large fine iron shields. No matter how sharp the halberd was, it would be difficult to split the large fine iron shield in one fell swoop. The three soldiers holding shields and armor could not bear the strength and were knocked down and fell to the ground.

, Li Qi’s bravery is enough to make people jaw-dropping.

Li Qi's fierce soldiers on his left and right cooperated seamlessly, advancing and retreating like apes. They didn't know how many times they had rehearsed. As long as Li Qi opened the way for the defender's attack and defense, they would advance with their swords and spears, stabbing or slashing at the opponent.

Bleeding holes were poked around him, and bloody mouths were opened.

In just a few breaths, Li Qi waved his big halberd, and in coordination with the warriors beside him, he killed and maimed six or seven defenders. The soldiers who were close to him were so frightened that no one dared to step forward to parry.

too strong!

Yao Xishui felt like he was going to scream uncontrollably.

Every time Li Qi took a step forward, the soldiers in front of him were forced to take a step back or move to the wings. However, in the small space in front of the city gate, more than 400 soldiers were squeezed into the small space in front of the city gate, which also made the defenders more crowded.

, the elite guards of the county prince's palace gained a wider area of ​​attack, and with Li Qi as the tip of their spears, they pounced ferociously to fight.

At first, guard Xu Bin dared to stand close and supervise the battle. But when he saw Li Qi getting closer and closer to him, he couldn't control the chill running up his tailbone. He finally had no guts to pick up the sword and go forward to fight Li Qi.

, he thought about retreating slightly in order to free up more space, but as soon as he and the guards on his left and right moved, the fierce soldiers of the Prince's Palace standing on the north city gate knocked their swords on their shields and shouted:

"Xu Bin, the dog thief, has escaped. Xu Bin, the dog thief, has escaped. If you catch this dog thief, you will be rewarded with a million dollars!"

The guards in front of the city gate became more and more panicked. Some turned around and ran away, while others were retreating steadily. At this time, Xu Bin could no longer calmly stabilize his position. Seeing that the formations on the left and right became chaotic, he finally gave up his last persistence.

He took the left and right guards and fled towards the county government office.

The army is defeated like a mountain, the defenders are advancing like a tidal wave, and their retreat is like a tidal wave.

Seeing this scene, Li Pu felt an uncontrollable feeling of weakness deep in his bones. He pressed his hands firmly against the wall, and his vest was soaked with sweat after his intuition. He knew the outcome of the Lishui attack on the city at this moment.

It's sort of separated.

"Congratulations to the Marquis for having such a son!" Chen Mingsheng also congratulated Li Pu ecstatically.

Since the battle of Jingshan Temple, they were used as bait by King Xin Yang Yuanyan and suffered a heavy defeat. They were first driven out of Danyang City by the Chuzhou Army, and then their military power was taken away by Han Qian, who was lurking alone in Jinling.

As Han Qian changed the situation and stirred up the entire battle situation, the situation of the Chishan Army was opened up. They had been suppressed for too long.

But all the suppression was released and vented at this moment.

Li Pu also secretly regretted it at this time. If he had known that Qi'er was a dragon, he should have let Qi'er free when Han Qian formed the Chishan Army, and Han Qian would not have become as powerful as he is today.

However, it is not too late to make amends.

Qi'er is so brave, standing on the battlefield as if he is in no one's land, is he still afraid that there will be no achievements in the future, and that he will not be able to open up a bigger situation?

At this moment, Li Pu could not wait to drag Han Qian over to show him how brave Qi'er is, and how fierce the sons of the Li family are.

Yao Xishui was excited and frowned slightly when he saw Li Pu's ecstatic expression, secretly feeling that the palace emissary's strategy might need to be adjusted slightly.

…………

…………

Gao Shao and Zhang Ping were advancing from the east city step by step. When they led their men to surround the city and attack the city gate tower, which had little resistance, Li Xiu, Li Qi, and Chen Mingsheng each led a cavalry force and rampaged through the city along the streets and alleys.

Kill the defeated soldiers.

At this time, only more than half an hour had passed since the ambush in Beicheng.

Looking at the cavalry in the city and the soldiers standing on the north wall, the elite cavalry guards of the county prince's palace entered the city, including the new soldiers who followed them into the city to gain practical combat experience. The casualties may only be more than a hundred people. It can be seen that the cavalry guards of the county prince's palace have entered the city.

His level of fierceness is beyond the reach of ordinary elites.

They had not seen with their own eyes Li Qi's invincible bravery and almost single-handedly promoted the smooth progress of the battle. However, in order to observe the combat power of the county prince's cavalry up close, several people were arranged to follow Li Pu and Li Xiu's uncle and nephew from the north city last night.

At this time, people sent by Gao Shao rushed to the east city and detailed the fierce fighting at the north gate.

Gao Shao was also secretly shocked that the mediocre and incompetent Li Pu could be such a badass!

Perhaps this is why Li Yu, as the number one general in Chu, even though he has retired for many years, still has real heritage under his command, right?

As for Li Pu, Gao Shao believed that he might not have expected that his son had such magical powers. Otherwise, such a sharp and boundless battle ax would have been sent out to kill in all directions.

Gao Shao secretly felt that things were getting a little troublesome. Li Pu stayed in Jinling in the name of a liaison envoy to comfort Han Qian. In name, he and Han Qian were not subordinate to each other. This also meant that Li Xiu and Li Qi led their troops under Li Pu.

In fact, there is no need to be controlled by Han Qian.

The Li family is so brave. If they capture Lishui City, they will probably expand their troops immediately. They will probably not listen to Han Qian's call in the future, right?

Gao Shao, who was only proficient in pen and ink, immediately called Zhao Jicheng to join the army, and asked him to record the battle in Lishui North City in detail. He then rode fast horses to Donglu Mountain to report the news, while he stayed behind to follow the established plan and cooperate with Li Pu to clean up the subsequent battle situation.

.

Even if Li Qi did not show his magical power, according to the prior agreement, Li Pu and others would be responsible for the main attack on Lishui City. After the attack, Li Pu and others would be responsible for defending Lishui City. Naturally, Li Pu and others would also lead the search for the city.

However, when Gao Shao led his troops to occupy the East City, he was not polite to the war supplies, captured soldiers, chariots and horses that the garrison had hoarded in the East City beforehand. He ordered them to be collected and prepared to be loaded and transported to Donglu Mountain. It was impossible to be polite to Li Pu.

Give it up.

After dawn, the faint morning light enveloped Lishui City again, and the war was almost completely over.

Except for the six to seven hundred remnant soldiers, a few noble family members who responded promptly, and a small group of officials who escaped from the South City Gate and the West City Gate, Lishui City, which had gathered nearly 20,000 people for refuge before the war, was completely trapped.

In Li Pu's hands.

"General Gao, this battle has been hard for you and you have been working hard all day long!"

After the overall situation was decided, in the morning light, Li Pu led a dozen people from the county government office to the east city gate tower to see Gao Shao. Zhang Ping felt refreshed and saw that Gao Shao, the general under Han Qian, was also there.

He was extremely polite and greeted me with a bow.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. I never thought that the two generals Li Xiao were so powerful. We couldn't do anything, so we can only say it was hard work." Gao Shao had gone through ups and downs in his life and had long developed a calm temperament. Li Qi

It is always a good thing that the prince's son is so brave in the current situation they are facing, and there is no need to say harsh or strange things.

"Last night we captured County Prime Minister Wei Zhen and several heads of families in Lishui County amidst the chaos. I, the Marquis of Xinchang, have some friendship with them, and I couldn't bear to hurt their lives, so I informed them with affection and gave orders with reason.

, and persuaded them to serve His Highness. They repented deeply and felt that it was treason and injustice for the An Ning Palace to usurp the late emperor. They also deeply regretted that they had aided the tyrants in the past and were willing to surrender to Yueyang to redeem their crimes and perform meritorious services. As the liaison envoy to comfort me, I felt that they should be given this opportunity.

," Li Pu pondered his words and said to Gao Shao and Zhang Ping, "After Gao Du returns, he will speak to Master Han and ask what his opinion is."

Seeing that Li Pu was going to cross the river and demolish the bridge so quickly and drive them out of Lishui City, Gao Shao laughed and said, "It's easy to talk, I will report it to you when I come back."

Zhang Ping, however, secretly felt a headache. Li Pu was able to persuade Wei Zhen and other wealthy family members so quickly to join him, probably because he brought out the name of the old prince. In doing so, he clearly wanted to compete with Han Qian at this time.
