Five hundred and sixtieth eight chapters cold people retreat
"My lord, my lord! Something bad has happened!" Early in the morning, a Liangzhou scout rushed to Dong Wen's side with a hasty voice.
Dong Wen, who was supervising the battle, suddenly frowned. With the war going badly, the bad news brought by the scouts made him even more irritated.
"Speak!" After adjusting his golden armor, Dong Wen wielded his gold-plated spear and spoke coldly.
The scout was startled and hurriedly spoke seriously, "My lord, General Dong Yuan is extremely brave. He encountered five thousand Shu cavalry outside the west gate and killed more than two thousand of the enemy!"
"It's self-harm." Dong Wen gritted his teeth.
"More than half," the scout said with a sob.
"Trash." Dong Wen grabbed the gold-plated gun and hesitated for a while, but in the end he did not kill anyone. It was a pity that his surprise attack plan suddenly came to nothing.
The siege battle ahead was still in full swing. The Liang army who retreated from their injuries screamed in pain from time to time. Many military doctors accompanying the army were already short of manpower. Each and every frightened military officer began to hold the military registration book and cross out items.
The names of soldiers who died in battle.
"King Liang, it's time to retreat!" King Fu Xun's voice was filled with sadness. Most of the dead in the battle were Xiqiang people. His long-cherished wish to set foot in the Central Plains seemed to be getting farther and farther away.
Xu Buyi is defending Lucheng. Judging from the current situation, even if it takes another month or two, he may not be able to attack it.
There are more and more snow velvet in the sky.
"Forgive me, King Liang. Although the warriors of my Fuxun tribe are brave and brave, I will not be the enemy of someone who freezes to death!"
Dong Wen raised his head and looked at the sky with some confusion. When autumn turned to winter this year, his army commander died in Shuzhou. And his army of one hundred thousand was also blocked by commoners in Lucheng.
outside.
"Ming Jin... withdraw the troops!"
Dong Wen's voice was hoarse, and his face was full of unwillingness. If he had known this, he would have listened to Sima Xiu's last letter, and he would not have suffered another round of defeat.
"When the war starts next year, I, the Liangzhou army, vow to kill the Shu people!"
…
The weather is getting colder and colder, and the snowflakes are getting more and more thick. So much so that many of the soldiers in the marching team are wrapped in winter robes and are marching forward carefully on the frosty and snowy ground.
go.
"The military advisor has ordered us to take a short break and have another bowl of spicy soup."
The army stopped, and Jia Zhou, wrapped in a large cloak, silently got out of the carriage.
"Military advisor, if we go deeper and the road is blocked by heavy snow, we may not be able to get back to Lucheng." Fan Lu spoke cautiously from the side.
"Fan Lu, I know everything." Jia Zhou nodded.
This time, we took a circuitous route to the hinterland of Liangzhou, and we didn't know how many traps were laid along the way.
"If it succeeds, the Liang army that returns to Liang will definitely suffer another wave of heavy losses."
Unlike the Liang people, their Shu army only had to retreat to Lucheng, which was not too far away. But the returning army led by Dong Wen had to rush to Liangzhou City, which was two to three hundred miles away.
"Liang Hu is still alive and should be the one to remonstrate with Dong Wen." Jia Zhou sighed, turned around and looked towards the way he came.
"Fan Lu, after a round of ambush at the chosen ambush location, he immediately rushed back to Lucheng."
"The deep winter snow will cover the entire country."
…
In Lucheng City, Xu Mu, who guarded the city gate, could not hide the joy on his face when he learned the news that the Liang people had withdrawn. His and Jia Zhou's plan was not wrong. After guarding the bridgehead of the Liang people, next year's war should be
It will be more convenient.
Of course, although Dong Wen is violent, he is by no means a person who can be easily captured. He may take advantage of the winter truce to find ways to prepare more bargaining chips.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, but as long as he takes this step and captures Liangzhou, he will truly have the capital to settle down in this troubled time, dominate several states in the west, and then aspire to the world.
The general trend of the world, such as Zuo Shiren, the Demon Queen, the kings of Hebei, the pseudo-emperor, even Chang Silang, many kings from other states, Dingbian generals, and aristocratic families, there will eventually be several forces rising up to join the war.
middle.
Of course, it is not ruled out that a big fish will sweep in with the power of a whale swallowing the world. But now, this possibility is gone for the time being.
"My lord, General Wei is here." Yin Hu whispered.
Xu Mu nodded.
Previously, Wei Feng followed his orders and protected the grain route and retreat route outside Lucheng. However, from the west gate direction, eight thousand Liangzhou elite cavalry suddenly came. Wei Feng just led five thousand Shu cavalry and headed forward.
Did it for a while.
The losses were heavy, with only 2,000 of the 5,000 Shu Cavalry left. Of course, the Liang Cavalry was even more tragic after a surprise attack, with half of them lost in battle.
"My lord, Wei Feng apologizes." It was freezing cold, Wei Feng was naked and carrying two pieces of thorns on his back, weeping and kneeling in front of Xu Mu.
"It was on my own initiative that I, the Shu Cavalry, lost more than 2,400 people in the battle!"
Xu Mu was a little weird. He originally wanted to reward him with a big reward, but good guy, Wei Feng came to apologize on his own.
"Wei Feng, the more you live, the more you go back. When you followed me to Wangzhou, I didn't see you being so pretentious. Hurry up and put on your robes and armor, get your horse and go after Liang's army."
Wei Feng raised his head in confusion, "Master, do you want me to make meritorious deeds?"
"No, merit adds to merit. Wei Feng, remember, you have done nothing wrong if your general is not willing to accept your life. If it were me, I would still intercept it. Put on your robe and armor, and take the remaining two thousand with you."
Many Shu cavalry will cooperate with the military advisor to intercept and kill them."
"After holding back the Liang people's troops from returning to the army, we returned to Lucheng together with the military advisor."
"Lord, the military advisor is here, in Liangzhou?"
"We took a small path and took a detour a long time ago." Xu Mu took two steps forward and helped Wei Feng up.
Unlike generals like Chao Yi, Wei Feng was one of the first generals to charge into battle. His ability to see the battlefield was far inferior to that of Chao Yi. But with a courageous fighting spirit, he was enough to do a lot of things.
Knowing people well and utilizing them well is the most basic quality for a superior person. In the future, Wei Feng will definitely stay by his side and be the charge general of the cavalry camp.
Chao Yi, on the other hand, led the cavalry on the battlefield alone.
"Wei Feng, follow the Liang army, mainly to harass. Don't get too close to avoid being surrounded. If you meet the military advisor, tell him that I will be waiting in Lucheng, waiting for him to return to the army.
, and then rush back to Chengdu together."
Returning is as fast as an arrow. If you say you miss home, it must be a lie. What's more, his wife gave birth to a big fat boy in Chengdu.
However, the war situation was tense, and as far as national affairs were concerned, family affairs could only be put aside for the time being.
If Jia Zhou's interception is successful this time, then next year's battle to defeat Liang will have another 20% chance of winning.
"Lord, don't worry. I, Wei Feng, will hang the head on the egg and won't return to Lucheng until Liang Gou is killed! Lord, I am issuing a military order now!"
"Stand up and get out of the city." Xu Mu's face was speechless.
Only after Wei Feng had gone far did he rub his forehead and walk back along the city. After walking a few steps, he found Si Hu standing at the edge of the city, his face full of pretentiousness.
"Brother Hu, what's wrong with you? You can't have enough to eat? I've already blamed you alone."
Si Hu burst into tears and spoke to Xu Mu, "Brother Mu, I, I miss my wife at home!"
In front of Xu Mu, this iron-tower-like murderous man suddenly looked like a sad little man, crying with a trembling voice.
