Li Yuan rode a big black horse on the streets of Suzhou City, accompanied by several nursing staff from the Gu family. After eating a full stomach, taking a shower and changing clothes, and having a good night's sleep, Li Yuan felt refreshed and energetic.
There are quite a lot of Suzhou people on the street leading to the north of the city. The excitement of last night's battle lasted until this morning. The entire city of Suzhou was inspired by last night's victory, and everyone was talking about last night's battle. Many people who participated in killing the enemy talked about their bravery last night, which attracted the surrounding people to watch with envy and admiration.
"Hey, this is so exciting! Just on the west pier, Liu Jia Qilang, Zhu Jia Sanlang and I were watching the battle. Countless Jin troops floated in the river. They all wanted to climb to the bank. Liu Jia Qilang, Zhu Sanlang and I could see clearly , immediately started shouting, and everyone rushed out.
When I went home and fetched a harpoon, the Jin soldiers were about to swim to the shore. I threw the harpoon and hit a Tianling Cap in the middle. He was immediately suffocated in the water, and the harpoon with me sank.
Damn, it was so enjoyable! My throw is really accurate and ruthless. My skills in spearing fish for so many years are not just for free. I can kill any dragon in the river, let alone these thieves from the Jin army? "
"Hey, brother is really awesome. But now that your harpoon is gone, don't you have nothing to do?"
"Bah, what are you talking about? The harpoon is gone and there are still stones and bricks. After I killed one person with my fork, everyone was no longer afraid. I smashed them with sticks and stones, making the Jin soldiers cry for their fathers. The sixty-year-old woman behind our house knocked out a Jin soldier with a clothes-beating stick.
It was also her luck that she hit the Jin Jun's temple. The Jin Jun immediately rolled his eyes and flowed down the river. They either bleed to death or drown. In short, the dragons and fish and turtles in the river have another good meal. "
"Tsk tsk, I'm really jealous. I was going to come here last night, but my mother-in-law refused to let me out. She was crying and crying, which made me miss this great opportunity. Damn it. Look back. I must teach this woman a hard lesson. The whole city is working hard to defend the city, but I am hiding at home and shivering like a coward. Just thinking about it makes me feel cowardly."
"Hahaha, brother, don't be discouraged. Maybe there will be a chance later? But if we continue to fight like this, I guess the Jin army will not dare to attack again, for fear that you will never have a chance again.
Lieutenant Li from the Chu Army was so powerful. Last night he single-handedly charged into the bandit formation and killed seven in and seven out. He killed dozens of people by himself, and everyone was dumbfounded. This morning, a brother in the army said that more than 10,000 Jin troops were killed last night.
Think about it, with someone as powerful as Lieutenant Li in charge, they destroyed dozens of Jin army ships and killed nearly 20,000 enemy troops yesterday. How dare they attack again? Brother, I feel sorry for you, maybe you really have no chance! Hahaha..."
"Damn, I'm so depressed! I'm going to give my mother-in-law a scolding when I turn around. Doesn't this mean I won't be able to hold my head high in the future?"
"..."
There was a lot of discussion in the streets, talking about the killing of the enemy last night and various rumors about Li Yuan. Li Yuan rode his horse and walked through the street. No one recognized him at first, but soon some sharp-eyed people recognized Li Yuan.
"Isn't this Lieutenant Li? Take a look and see if my eyes are dazzled." A commoner pointed at the backs of Li Yuan and his entourage.
"It seems like it's really, yes, it's him. That sword, that big black horse, isn't it him or who?" The rest of the people immediately confirmed his guess, and for a while there was a commotion in the street, and people chased Li Yuan one after another. The horse came running behind. Within a short time, Li Yuan and his party were surrounded by the people.
"Li Xiaowei, Li Xiaowei." the people shouted.
Li Yuan smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your hard work, folks."
"It's really Lieutenant Li, hahaha. You fought brilliantly yesterday and killed the Jin army. Lieutenant Li is worthy of being from the Chu army! Your Chu army has always been victorious in every battle, but the Jin army fell when they met Captain Li." It’s bloody moldy, haha.”
Li Yuan chuckled and said, "It's not my credit, it's everyone's credit. Last night, the people also killed thousands of enemies. I will report this matter."
The envoy Sun Jie sent an order to commend him. The people of Suzhou are indispensable, and I would like to thank you all very much. "
"Hahaha, did you hear that? We are going to be rewarded." The people of Suzhou who participated in the retreat from the enemy last night cheered even louder, and the people who did not catch up were even more regretful.
"Li Xiaowei, do the Jin troops still dare to attack? I'm afraid they are going to escape." Someone shouted.
Li Yuan said loudly: "They won't run away, don't underestimate the enemy. They have no way to retreat, and there will be a hard fight behind them. Everyone, keep your spirits up, maybe there will be another hard fight tonight. Always, we must unite as one, No matter whether the Jin army attacks or retreats, Suzhou must remain unmoved and not give them any chance."
"It's quite true. With Lieutenant Li helping us, we have nothing to fear." The people of Suzhou shouted. Those people who had not caught up with the battle last night heard that they might participate in killing the enemy. They all immediately When he got energetic, he screamed more energetically than anything else.
Li Yuan smiled and held his hands all the way, and rushed to the North City checkpoint surrounded by people on the street. The people could not enter the street checkpoints, but were crowded behind the checkpoints and screamed non-stop.
Li Yuan laughed and rode his horse to the city gate.
When the Suzhou defenders up and down the city tower saw Li Yuan arriving, they all stood up and saluted. Last night's battle truly demonstrated the capabilities of this Chu military captain. Last night, many people actually felt that the city would be destroyed and were already disheartened.
But under Li Yuan's command, the war took a dramatic turn. Not only was the city not broken, but a large number of enemy troops were annihilated. This made everyone admire Li Yuan and firmly believe in the legendary Chu army's victory in every battle.
It's not because of Li Yuan's behavior of taking the lead and rushing into the enemy group to kill the enemy bravely, which really boosted morale, but what reflects Li Yuan's wisdom is actually the decision to use the enemy's burning ship to block the entrance to the river.
It was that sudden flash of wisdom that prevented the enemy from entering the city and completely turned the tide of the battle. This seemingly simple flash of inspiration actually requires years of experience in combat and careful judgment of the situation.
Under the attention of all the soldiers, Li Yuan climbed onto the tower. Gu Mingli, Sun Chengyou and others were on the city wall. When they saw Li Yuan coming to the city, Gu Mingli stood up from the big chair, cupped his hands and smiled: "Master Li, why are you here? Why don't you take a rest? It's not too late to come back in the afternoon, you But you need more rest, maybe there will be a fierce battle all night tonight."
Li Yuan smiled and said: "Gu Weng, how can you tell me to sleep in this situation? I'm not that big-hearted."
Gu Mingli stroked his beard and smiled: "That's right."
Sun Chengyou came forward and smiled: "The battle between Captain Li last night was really shocking, and the people in the whole city were talking about it. Captain Li is now a well-known person in our city of Suzhou. Without you in charge, the consequences would be disastrous. I represent The people of Suzhou give you a big thank you!"
