Dahan: A 100-year-old veteran, I will build the strongest family

Chapter 171 Li Cunxiao Goes to Battle

“Keep bombarding me!”

On the north bank of the Yellow River, flags covered the sky. In the center of the army, Li Li, dressed in mighty armor, looked at Dong Yue’s army that had been thrown into chaos. With a sneer on his face, he continued to give orders.

“Fire, keep firing!” Zhou Yu, dressed in armor and looking quite heroic, stood in front of the Huihui cannon, acting as the commander, and was quite excited.

Li Cunxiao, Li Shimin and Li Wenzhong, who were far away, were quite envious of Zhou Yu who was giving orders.

The catapults of the Huihui cannons continuously blasted out large rocks, which fell like meteorites, causing the front army deployed by Dong Yue on the south bank of the Yellow River to collapse in fear.

At this time, Jizhou Mu Yang Biao, Youbeiping Gongsun Zan, Guangling Prefect Zhang Chao, and Xuzhou Mu Ding Yuan and others were already filled with fear and dread at the tremendous power of the Huihui cannon.

“Report to the general, the front of Dong’s army on the south bank has collapsed and is scrambling to escape!”

The messenger came quickly to report. Li Li naturally saw the situation of Dong’s army on the south bank. He immediately understood that this was a good time to cross the river.

Li Li looked at Li Cunxiao, Li Shimin, Li Wenzhong, Jizhou Mu Yang Biao, Youbeiping Gongsun Zan, Guangling Prefect Zhang Chao, and Xuzhou Mu Ding Yuan and others around him and hesitated slightly, but still gritted his teeth and gave the order, saying:

“Gongsun Zan, where are Li Cunxiao and Li Wenzhong?”

Gongsun Zan, Li Cunxiao and Li Wenzhong were cheered up and immediately understood what Li Li meant.

“The general is here!”

All three of them came forward.

“Gongsun Zan, lead your troops immediately to fight a river crossing and beachhead battle. You can only succeed and cannot fail. I will be behind you and use catapults to suppress the attack of Dong’s army.” Li Li gave orders to Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan belonged to Youbeiping, which was also Youzhou, and was under the command of Youzhou Mu Li Li. The first battle, the battle of crossing the river and seizing the beach, would definitely be brutal. Li Li handed it over to Gongsun Zan and did not hand it over to other princes.

As the leader of the Northern Allied Forces, Li Li is obviously fair-minded.

This made Jizhou Mu Yang Biao, Guangling Prefect Zhang Chao, and Xuzhou Mu Ding Yuan and others admire Li Li.

Of course, what made Gongsun Zan hesitate was that Li Li actually sent Li Cunxiao and Li Wenzhong.

At this time, Yang Biao, Zhang Chao, and Ding Yuan were also not calm. “Leader, Cunxiao and Wenzhong are still young, they should go out and see the world, why are they sent to the front line? If something happens to them, how will we explain to General Li?” Yang Biao hurriedly persuaded Li Li.

Gongsun Zan listened to Yang Biao’s support and nodded quickly:
“My Lord, I can lead the army under my command to reach the beach, so there is no need for Lord Cunxiao and Lord Wenzhong.”

Gongsun Zan also admired Li Hong very much and would never dare to let Li Cunxiao and Li Wenzhong take risks.

They all knew that Li Shimin, Li Cunxiao and Li Wenzhong who came from the army were all Li Hong’s sons, so how could they let the three of them take risks?

Li Li listened to everyone’s persuasion and couldn’t help but look at Li Cunxiao and Li Wenzhong. According to seniority, the two were two generations older than him.

“Cunxiao, Wenzhong, what do you think?” Li Li asked them.

Li Cunxiao, who was originally excited, immediately got angry when he heard that he was not allowed to go, and shouted:

“My father is a hero, brave and valiant. I, Li Cunxiao, also take him as my role model. How can I be afraid of fighting? If a man of the Li family is afraid of the battlefield, he will not join the army. It’s just a fight. I, Li Cunxiao, am not afraid!”

Li Cunxiao raised the Yuwang Spear and Bi Yan’s Sword in his hands and said:

“These are the magical weapons my father gave me before he left, the Yu Wang Spear and the Bi Yan Whip. He wanted me to make them famous all over the world!”

Everyone around was looking at him in a commotion, but they were all impressed by Li Cunxiao’s fighting spirit.

Li Wenzhong also shouted: “Leader, Li Wenzhong invites you to fight!”

Li Li was very satisfied with the performance of these two family generals who were two generations older than him, and said loudly:

“Alright! Li Cunxiao, Li Wenzhong, follow Gongsun Zan to fight, cross the Yellow River, and seize the riverbank!”

“promise!”

Gongsun Zan, Li Cunxiao and Li Wenzhong responded loudly. Gongsun Zan did not hesitate and took Li Cunxiao and Li Wenzhong to carry out the order.

Jizhou Mu Yang Biao, Guangling Prefect Zhang Chao, Xuzhou Mu Ding Yuan and others all admired the Li family for being a family of generals, and then turned their attention to the battlefield. (End of this chapter)
