But Li Ziliang hurried all the way and finally arrived at Jingmen at dark.
"Brother Wei, you are too careful!"
As soon as they met, Li Ziliang said loudly. Apparently, seeing Wei Dayong being attacked by troops, he was too frightened to express his opinion.
"Haha, Brother Li, you don't know. Our Jingmen soldiers are small, probably less than half of the enemy's army. Even if the enemy's army is exhausted from afar, it will not be easy to win with one blow!"
Wei Dayong laughed and held Li Ziliang's hand.
"I heard that the leader of the enemy general is only a young boy in his twenties. Brother Wei, if there are fewer soldiers, why should we be afraid?"
Li Ziliang disagreed.
"Haha, I'm not afraid, I'm just afraid that something will go wrong and I will let down the prince's love!"
Wei Dayong shook his head.
In fact, in his heart, he didn't want to fight Xu Lang knife-on-knife or gun-on-gun. However, he knew the art of war and understood that sometimes, he had to avoid the enemy's edge to find a chance to win.
"That makes sense. However, Brother Wei, now that there are 20,000 more Jingzhou soldiers and horses, it seems that we can test the quality of that traitor general!"
As he said this, Li Ziliang raised his eyebrows and was eager to give it a try.
"Haha, Brother Li, there is no rush at this moment. Let's rest first. You and I will meet him together tomorrow morning!"
Wei Da used 20,000 more reinforcements and became more courageous. I'm going to have a chat with Xu Lang tomorrow, just to see what the other party is like.
So, nothing happened all night.
…
Early the next morning, the city gates were wide open. Li Ziliang and Wei Dayong were fully dressed, each holding weapons and flags fluttering. They led 20,000 troops and horses, and gradually approached Li Wenzhong's forward camp.
All of this naturally fell into the eyes of the lookout post on the high platform in Li Wenzhong's forward camp.
"Report to the general that the Jingmen army, about 20,000 strong, is approaching our camp."
The sergeant hurriedly came to report to Li Wenzhong urgently.
"Oh, this Wei Dayong, why can't he keep his temper? Whoever comes, tell General Xu immediately!"
Li Wenzhong made a prompt decision in surprise.
If Wei Da Yongzhen led 20,000 people to call for formation, his 5,000 forwards would still be in some trouble. However, the forward camp is now only one mile away from Xu Lang's army, and there is plenty of time to wait for Xu Lang's reinforcements.
"promise!"
The sergeant did not dare to neglect and immediately came out of the tent.
"Let's go, brothers, follow me to meet the enemy!"
Li Wenzhong didn't waste any time, picked up the knife and walked out.
Soon, the well-trained forward battalion formed up without fear, holding their weapons tightly against the enemy troops slowly pushing towards them from the smoke.
"stop!"
Wei Dayong also saw the actions on the opposite side and quickly ordered the entire army to stop. Today is not the best time for a decisive battle. Don't leave the city too far or advance too rashly.
"Who is coming? Tell me your name!"
The people on his side stopped, and Li Wenzhong had already picked up the knife and reached a hundred steps away from him with his courage.
"Hey, you are so courageous!"
When Li Ziliang saw it, his temper grew.
After saying that, he clamped his horse's belly and rushed towards Li Wenzhong with his knife.
"Wait!"
Wei Dayong hurriedly shouted behind him, but Li Ziliang couldn't hear him.
"Hey, why is Brother Ziliang so impatient?"
Wei Dayong shook his head, but was not at ease. He gestured to push the formation forward again.
Li Wenzhong did not expect that there would be such an impatient person among the enemy generals. Seeing the fierceness of his approach, he did not dare to underestimate the enemy. He quickly picked up the reins of his horse and moved forward to greet him.
Both of them used long swords, and from this exchange, there was only a ping-pong sound. The swords were shining brightly, and after counting, no one seemed to have taken much advantage.
On the one hand, this was because Li Wenzhong didn't know who the coming general was. He thought that when someone came from Wudang, he could become a lobbyist and try his best to win over others without fighting. Naturally, he didn't want to hurt his harmony by being cruel.
On the other hand, Li Ziliang still has two skills. Although Li Wenzhong can easily defeat him, it is difficult to resolve the battle in twos and threes.
