Chapter 0014 Li Zixiong Died in Battle
The army led by Yang Jishan has rushed into the left wing. The rebels' faces are full of excitement. They have seen the strengths and weaknesses of the imperial army. These imperial troops do not dare to compete with them at all. As long as they destroy the left wing and then directly kill into the central army, it will definitely lead to the collapse of the imperial army.
"Victory." However, at this moment, cheers suddenly came from a distance.
Before Li Yu, Yang Jishan and others could react, they heard bursts of gongs coming from afar. They looked back and saw a large number of enemies appearing on the left wing of the rebels, and the enemies had already killed their way into the central army.
"Not good, hurry up and rescue the central army." Yang Jishan's face changed drastically, and he shouted loudly: "What on earth is Yang Xuanjiang doing?" The Yang family's army was controlled by the Yang family. The left wing of the army was led by Yang Xuanjiang. Seeing that the army had the possibility of breaking through the enemy's left wing, he did not expect that the enemy directly broke through the rebels' left wing and killed into the central army. A great battle was lost.
Li Yu sighed deeply. Faced with this situation, no matter how fierce Li Yu was, it would probably be of no use. If the central army broke through, Yang Xuangan's retreat would be affected, which would eventually lead to the collapse of the entire army.
What a stupid teammate. Li Yu turned his horse around, joined Li Gu, and led his soldiers to retreat quickly. Behind them, Sang Xianhe, after saving his life, led the army to attack without hesitation.
As the rebels retreated, Yuwen Shu and others led the army to follow and kill them. If it were not for Yang Xuangan who covered their retreat and fought desperately, less than one-tenth or one-twelveth of the rebels would have returned to the camp. Even so, the army suffered heavy casualties, including many generals.
"Sir, Lord Shangshu." Li Yu had just returned to the camp when he saw a household general of the Li family running towards him with a frustrated look on his face. Li Yu's expression changed drastically when he heard it.
"What's wrong with the Minister?" Li Gu grabbed the shoulders of his personal soldier and shouted loudly.
"When the Shangshu was commanding the battle, he was accidentally hit by a stray arrow." The family general could not help but burst into tears.
"Damn it." Li Yu strode towards Li Zixiong's tent. Although he came from the future, he occupied this body after all, and Li Zixiong was very good to him. In just a few months, Li Zixiong taught him martial arts, taught him the art of war, and even spent all his family wealth to recruit soldiers for him. It can be said that he has fulfilled his responsibilities as a father.
Before Li Jing entered the big tent, he heard a cry coming from inside. He frowned slightly and lifted the lid of the tent. He saw Li Zixiong lying on the ground in the middle of the tent, with several personal soldiers kneeling on the ground and crying around him.
"Didn't the Yang family send anyone?" Li Yu couldn't help but ask. At the scene, except for a few personal soldiers, there was no one else. No one from the Yang family came, which made him angry. Li Zixiong was the Minister of Civil Affairs after all, and he came to serve the Yang family at this time. When Yang Xuangan was charging into battle, Li Zixiong commanded the army to fight. Now he died in battle, and he didn't even send anyone. This was a bit too much.
"Sir, I heard that many people died in this battle, even Yang Xuanjiang and Yang Wanshuo died in the battle." Li Gu came over at this time and whispered to Li Yu: "Perhaps the Duke did not come because of this matter."
After hearing this, Li Yu raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a hint of sneer. This is not the way to do things. Yang Xuangan must have known about Li Zixiong's death in the battle at the first time, and the body had been cleaned up. A white silk cloth was also tied around the injured neck, but Yang Xuangan had not come at this time, which showed the problem.
"Father, I am unfilial and cannot give you a grand funeral now. Don't worry, I will make you live in glory in the future." Li Yu knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times. In his heart, he silently said, "Although I, Li Yu, am not your son, since I have occupied your son's body, I am your son. In the future, I will definitely bring honor to your Li family and will never let you down for your teachings."
To be honest, he was thinking about how to place Li Zixiong yesterday. Li Zixiong would definitely follow Yang Xuangan all the way to the end, but Li Yu would not. He was always thinking about leaving here and escaping. He even thought about knocking Li Zixiong unconscious and taking him away in the chaos, but now there is no need to think about it. Li Zixiong was shot dead by stray arrows on the battlefield. All Li Yu is thinking about now is how to escape.
"Young Master, what should we do now?" The personal soldiers led by Li Gu looked at Li Yu. At this time, Li Zixiong died in the battle, and the Bohai Li family was headed by Li Yu. Li Gu and other personal soldiers became Li Yu's personal soldiers, and life, death and plunder were in the hands of Li Yu.
"Find a good place to bury father. When we come back in the future, we will give him a grand funeral." Li Yu whispered, "Don't let anyone find out ."
Yang Xuangan was doomed to fail. As a key figure in Yang Xuangan's army, Li Zixiong had once offended Yang Guang. Even if he died in battle, people like Yuwen Shu would not let go of Li Zixiong's body. The most crucial thing was to bury Li Zixiong secretly.
"Don't worry, sir. There is a small hill behind the camp, and in the hill there is a very desolate valley. I will make some arrangements and bury the general tonight." A young man behind Li Gu whispered. Li Yu recognized him as Pang Jue, a personal soldier of Li Zixiong, who was a very clever man.
"Okay, I'll trouble you." Li Yu nodded, glanced at the people around him, and said, "Today our army has been defeated. If nothing unexpected happens, the old thief Yuwen will probably attack us tonight, and the Duke of Chu will definitely be defeated. But this is also our opportunity. I plan to take the opportunity to fight my way out and plan for the future. You can follow me, or you can stay here and surrender to the imperial army after they come in. I won't blame you."
Li Gu, Pang Jue and the others looked at each other, knelt down and said loudly: "Sir Shangshu and the young master have been very kind to us. We are willing to follow the young master."
These people are grateful to Li Zixiong for his kindness. More importantly, in the Sui Dynasty, people are living in poverty. Yuwen Shu and his people will not treat those who surrender well , and may even kill these rebels on the spot. You know, these rebels have made contributions, how can they give up? In this case, it is better to follow Li Yu, maybe they can escape. After all, everyone can see Li Yu's martial arts very clearly.
"Very good, in that case, let's bury my father's body first, and then have a good rest. When the enemy attacks, we will break out from the enemy's left wing. We can defeat the enemy during the day and at night." Li Yu was overjoyed. The hundreds of people around him were not too many, but not too few either. As long as he was careful, he might be able to escape. After all, the enemy's main target was Yang Xuangan, not him.
