"Twelfth brother, as soon as we leave, won't we ignore the twenty-sixth brother? This is an act of injustice. Why don't we also discuss with the twenty-sixth brother, and ask him to go with us." Li Jian smacked his lips.

"Thirteenth brother, you are stupid, it is precisely because he is defending the city that we have a chance to leave. Do you think that if you inform him, and if he refuses, won't you and I be able to leave? Didn't you hear him? If anyone is half-hearted, he will not even recognize brotherhood. Today, the twenty-seventh brother died, can you see him shed half a tear? also said that the twenty-seventh brother was a coward's trip. He doesn't have us in his heart at all, but you still think about him. Besides, even if he agrees to go together, so many of us are evacuating from Pizhou, how can the soldiers and horses outside the city not notice it? If we want to leave, we can only go quietly, only take a few hundred personal soldiers, escort our family members to leave secretly, and we can't let the twenty-sixth brother know at all, do you understand? Knowing that not only will he not be able to leave, but he may also anger him and be killed by him. Didn't you hear what he said before? Li Pu frowned and stomped his feet.

Li Hui's heart is like a mirror, how can he not know this, the reason why he said that he wanted to inform Li Hui was to test whether Li Pu and Li Heng had discussed and deliberately tested himself, and secondly, he also wanted to pretend to be a brother, and if someone mentioned this matter in the future, he could shirk it to Li Pu.

"My brother is right. But where do we go from here? The world is so big that it seems that there is no place for us. Li Jian said in a low voice.

"I think we go north to find Wang Yuan, anyway, Pizhou will be broken, the city is broken, and the twenty-sixth brother can't escape, so let's tell Wang Yuan, we will fight to break through and escape." Originally, I wanted to go back to Shu, but now I am worried that after the city of Bizhou is broken, Li Guangbi will take the opportunity to attack Longyou and force Shudi, which is also very troublesome, it is better to go directly to Wang Yuan's army and follow the army of Shence, there should be no danger. Li Pu replied.

In an instant, Li Pu suddenly understood Li Pu's other intention. It is certainly a helpless move to escape from Pizhou tonight, but in fact, it is also a clever move. Tomorrow, if the city of Pizhou is broken, Li Heng will die, so Li Pu and himself will flee to Wang Yuan's army, not only can they be blessed, but because of Li Hui's death, Wang Yuan can only serve one of himself and Li Pu as the future emperor. Of course, the premise is that Wang Yuan can defeat Li Mao's soldiers and horses. But after thinking about it like this, he suddenly felt that Li Pu didn't seem to need to invite him to leave with him, because he was also qualified to inherit the throne and seemed to be his opponent. But after thinking about it, Li Jian understood. Li Pu invited himself to go with him, not because he had a good relationship with him, but because he needed to explain to Wang Yuan for him, otherwise Wang Yuan would probably not believe him if he said it alone, and would even doubt his behavior. Moreover, in his opinion, he was not a threat to his throne, so he was not worried at all that he would become the one who Wang Yuan would fully assist.

Thinking about all this clearly, Li Jian sneered in his heart, but he was actually very happy in his heart. If he can really escape to Wang Yuan's army, and Li Heng really dies in Pizhou tomorrow, the throne will be between himself and Li Pu in the future. Although Li Pu is full of confidence, she doesn't think so. Maybe this will be a new beginning, and among the two choices, the chance of touching the throne is actually greater. Or perhaps, he is more ruthless, maybe on the way to Wang Yuanjun, what should he do, so that this opportunity to choose one of the two becomes the only choice. Everyone thinks they're bullies, but they're not what they think they are. I also have times when I am ruthless, but the time has not yet come.

Seeing that Li Jian's eyes showed a different look, Li Pu knew that his persuasion should have worked, so he said in a low voice: "Thirteenth brother, do you agree?" If we agree, we act immediately. Of course, if you don't want to do this, Brother Twelve will stay here with you, and it's a big deal that we all die here, so it's nothing. ”

Li Xuan looked at Li Pu quietly and said, "Brother Twelve, I have decided, we will leave immediately." ”

……

At the head of the city, Li Heng was running back and forth, loudly scolding the soldiers and people to strengthen the city defense and carry materials, and his heart was anxious. Every time he glanced at the military camp of the brightly lit imperial soldiers and horses under the city, the anxiety in his heart increased by one point. He wished that he could build the city defense to a thousand feet high at once, and he wished that suddenly a bunch of heavenly soldiers and generals would fall from the sky, driving the Pegasus chariot to help him defeat his opponent, but he knew that none of this could happen. Now if you want to survive, there is only one way, and that is to mobilize all your manpower to block it. Tomorrow, even if it is a pile of corpses, you must defend Pizhou, otherwise, tomorrow will be your death day.

Looking at the old and weak people at the head of the city slowly moving with heavy loads, Li Heng was anxious. No matter how much the soldiers' whips were whipped, they could not make these men go faster. After seeing more than a dozen ordinary people tumbling down the steps of the upper city unsteadily, Li Heng erupted.

"Why isn't there a new manpower to replenish it? Come on, go to the city to find the prince and them, and ask what the hell is going on? Li Heng shouted loudly.

An adjutant general made a loud promise, hurriedly went down to the city and rode into the streets of the city to find Li Pu, Li Ji and others. About half an hour later, the deputy general galloped back on horseback, rushed up to the city, and grabbed Li Heng, who was whipping and scolding the soldiers and people, and walked aside.

"Lord Feng, something is wrong." The general whispered nervously.

"What's wrong?" Li Heng frowned and shouted.

"I searched all over the city, and I didn't see King Yi and King Ying. The city is not collecting manpower and food. The soldiers and horses under the two princes were on standby in the camp, and they heard that they had not seen the two princes for more than an hour, and they had not received orders. ”

"What?" Li Heng was stunned for a moment, frowned and shouted, "What's the matter?" You didn't go to the residence of the back hall of the government to look for it? ”

"Why not? Humble. But...... But ......"

"What are you doing? Say it. Li Heng shouted.

"I heard from the guards of the yamen that Prince Yi and Prince Ying left the back hall of the palace with their families an hour ago, and left the ...... in a carriage."

"What?" Li Heng was stunned, there was no need to continue talking, he had already realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Where did they go? Have you checked it? ”

"I haven't had time to find out yet, I'm afraid that Prince Feng and others will be in a hurry, and I feel that this matter is serious, so I rushed back to report it." The lieutenant swallowed and foamed.

"Pass my orders, the four cities are closed, and no one is allowed to leave the city without my orders. Prepare a horse for me. Li Heng spoke continuously, and quickly walked down the steps of the city, and rushed down the steps.

On the steps, a row of old and weak people carrying mud bags were slowly going up to the city, and an old man was struggling to walk, his body was weak, standing on the steps and panting. The mud bag was across his shoulder, blocking the passage to the lower city on the other side. Li Heng flew up and kicked on the old man, and the old man rolled down the steps with a scream, and rolled down the steps with seven or eight people behind him, and suddenly screamed and wailed. Li Heng didn't look at it, rushed down to the city, got on his horse and galloped towards the city.

Soon after, Li Heng found out the traces of Li Pu and Li Ji, and the defenders of the northern city had just opened the city half an hour ago and let Li Pu and Li Ji out of the city. Although they also felt strange, Li Jian and Li Pu were princes, and told the guards that they were going to Ningzhou to pick up reinforcements, and the captain who was guarding the city was naturally beyond doubt. The city gate was opened, and the two princes and seven or eight carts were released out of the city. 、

Li Heng stood at the gate of the city in a daze, wanting to scold but couldn't. The two royal brothers finally abandoned themselves, and they just ran away with their families. An extreme fear and loneliness welled up in his heart, making Li Heng drenched in a cold sweat. Although they know that the situation is sinister, the three of them can at least huddle together to keep warm, comfort each other and calm the fear in each other's hearts. And now, the two of them have run away, abandoned themselves, and can only hold on here alone. For a moment, Li Heng felt a great despair.

"Lord Feng, villain...... The villain really didn't know that they were going to escape, and if the villain knew, he wouldn't have opened the city gate. The captain of the city gate, who knew that he had made a big mistake, explained in a low voice.

Li Heng was silent, reached out and pulled out the long sword from his waist violently, and it was a sword that hit the captain's stomach. The long sword entered the abdomen, and the captain let out a terrible scream, but Li Hengwu didn't stop, pulled out the sword, and stabbed the captain one after another, stabbing the captain all over the body. The surrounding generals and soldiers all hid their faces, all of them trembling with fright, and no one dared to take a second look.

Finally, Li Heng pulled out the blood-soaked long sword from the corpse of the dead captain, panting heavily, his hair in a somewhat disheveled bun. Pointing to a trembling soldier defending the city, he said, "From now on, you are the captain of the garrison...... From now on, no one is allowed to leave the city. If you dare to open the gates and let them go, this will be your fate. Thinking of an escape? Everyone is willing to fight to the death to defend the city, right? But this king wants you all to stay in the city, and if the city is broken, you will also die with this king, and die together......"

……

Outside the northern city of Pizhou, Li Pu and Li Jian, who quietly escaped from Pizhou, under the protection of more than 200 cavalry guards, led their families, chariots and horses to gallop on the rugged road. After leaving the city, they traveled seven or eight miles without saying a word, and then they breathed a sigh of relief. Looking back at the lights on the city wall of Pizhou, the two of them looked at each other unconsciously, and they both showed the joy of escaping. That city was a tomb, and he finally got out of it and escaped. For a while, even the air was sweet and pleasant.

"Don't stop, hurry up. Take advantage of the moonlight, the farther away from Pizhou, the better. Li Pu ordered in a deep voice.

The speed of the chariot and horse continued unabated, and they hurried northwest along the rugged official road in the hazy moonlight. Li Jian frowned at the faintly raised hill and the lush black tree shadows in front of him, and said in a low voice, "Brother Twelve." Li Guangbi has so many soldiers and horses, how can he still allow us to escape calmly? It was really unexpected that they didn't have four cities together. I was worried that they would move troops and horses to block the back road. ”

Li Pu frowned and said, "What are you talking about?" Don't say such unlucky words, do you still hope that there will be no soldiers here? ”

"That's not it, I'm just saying that, according to common sense, they must be surrounded on all sides, especially in the north and west cities, and there will be soldiers and horses to surround them. But it's ten miles away from the city, and it seems that there really isn't any. Li Guangbi's use of troops is actually very stupid. Why do you think we have been defeated at his hands? ”

"Don't say it, the more you talk about it, the more uneasy I feel, isn't it good for us that he is stupid? After the valley ahead, we have to change the path, not the official road. What you said was hairy. ”

Li Jian hurriedly apologized: "Blame me for talking too much, I'll shut up." ”

Li Pu opened his mouth and was about to speak, when suddenly a deafening sound of gongs sounded in front of him, and the sound of dangdangdang gongs was piercing and noisy in the night. Li Pu and Li Pu were stunned at the same time, and suddenly the torches in front of the official road and in the mountains and fields on the side were bright, and countless torches and figures appeared. The road ahead was also illuminated by a large crowd of torches, and was blocked by countless men and horses.

"Oops, you crow's mouth, you've got it right." Li Pu scolded.

Li Jian almost fell off his horse, regretting that he wanted to slap himself a few times, his crow's mouth, really told the enemy to come. I'm afraid it's going to be over now, and depending on the situation in front of me, it's impossible to escape it.

……

In the south of Fengzhou, the battle between the 100,000 Hui cavalry and the Shence army has entered a white-hot stage. If it is said that from the beginning of the war to the present, the Hui cavalry has been in a passive situation of being beaten, suffering a lot of losses but unable to fight back, then when the swarming cavalry rushed through the first mountain bag dividing line and saw the soldiers and horses of the Shence army in the narrow passage ahead, for the Hui cavalry, it was the time when the opponent was going to be unlucky.

In the hearts of every Uighur cavalry, there is a strong belief that they can destroy any opponent who dares to meet them head-on, whether it is the Shence army or any other army, it is impossible to resist the iron hooves of the Uighur army. Moreover, during the period from the beginning of the battle until now, the people were bombarded by the long-range weapons on the mountain packs, and thousands of people were killed and wounded, but they were unable to engage the enemy head-on, which made the Hui cavalry angry. Therefore, when they saw the black and oppressive soldiers and horses of the Shence Army appear in the second mountain bag passage, they rushed over one by one with red faces and red ears and bright eyes, like hungry wolves. Everyone was thinking in their hearts that they could finally teach this group of cunning Shence troops a hard lesson, and finally be able to cut off their heads with the scimitars in their hands, so that they could see what it means to be fierce and invincible to the Hui warriors.

The second line of defense is divided in two by the mountain bag in the middle, and forms two passages with the mountain bag on the east and west sides. The three Hui cavalry that rushed through the first mountain bag passage first converged together to form a torrent, and then this torrent split into two and rushed towards the two passages where the soldiers and horses of the Shence Army appeared.

In just a few dozen breaths, the torrent of four soldiers and horses collided heavily in the two passages. The moment the two sides encountered, it was really like the collision of two huge waves, on the enemy's face, at the moment when the dense soldiers and horses collided together, hundreds of war horses collided head-on, and in the earth-shattering scream, countless knights were thrown into the air by inertia, and they drew an arc with their teeth and claws and fell into the opponent's cavalry formation, and then were trampled into meat sauce by countless horses' hooves in a miserable scream. In the next moment, the stump and head of the blade weapon at the junction were thrown up, and on the two enemy faces, nearly 2,000 people fell from their horses and were killed and injured in this short encounter, leaving a road paved with flesh and blood several zhang wide on the sandy ground on the enemy face.

In comparison, the Uighur cavalry still suffered a bit of a loss, because of the blades they used. The Uighur cavalry was different from the Shence cavalry, and they were armed only with a scimitar in their hands and a longbow on their backs. And the vast majority of Uighur cavalry did not wear armor. It's not that Guli Peiluo doesn't have the ability to equip them with armor, it's that most of the Hui cavalry don't want to wear armor even if it's distributed. One is habit, most of the Uighur cavalry are accustomed to wearing robes that allow them to move freely on horseback, and wearing battle armor is inconvenient and restrictive, which makes them feel uncomfortable. The second reason was that they didn't need to wear these bulky armors in order to make sure they were fast enough to charge. The weapons were only equipped with light longbows and scimitars, which were also for the purpose of reducing the weight of the horses and increasing the speed of the charge. Therefore, although the Hui cavalry is only an ordinary Hui horse on the grassland, once it charges, it is not much better than the cavalry equipped with good horses.

Of course, there are pros and cons to everything. This kind of equipment of the Hui cavalry encountered the cavalry of the Shence Army in today's battle. Moreover, on the east and west passages, it was the 10,000 heavy cavalry of the Shence Army who met the enemy at this moment, so it was like a piece of tofu smashed onto the steel plate, and the side that suffered the most damage was obviously the side of the Hui people.

The heavy cavalry of the Shence Army is only 10,000, which is the result of so many years of painstaking management. Wang Yuan was superstitious about the trampling ability of heavy cavalry, but it was obviously not so easy to select heavy cavalry and equip heavy cavalry. Heavy cavalry not only requires the physical fitness of soldiers, but also tests the load-bearing capacity of war horses. The men and horses are heavily armoured and equipped with heavy blades, and it is no exaggeration to say that the weight of a heavy cavalry is almost equal to more than twice that of a cavalry in general attire. In this case, the mobility of the heavy cavalry is limited, but once they approach the enemy line, it will be like a rolling wheel, and the power will be endless.

When the cavalry of the two sides collided together, although more than 100 heavy cavalry of the Shence Army were knocked off their horses, they were more dizzy and returned to the horses
