A carriage drove towards Chang'an at a slow speed.
There are escorts in front and behind the carriage, but there are not many people, but they are better than excellent.
Inside the carriage, Wei Xiaokuanzha pulled his head and looked decadent.
His youngest son Wei Jin sat aside and was applying medicine to Wei Xiaokuan, who was already sixty years old.
His experience in leading troops to fight has reached its peak, but his physical fitness is far inferior to that of the time. This time, Wei Xiaokuan was sentenced to a serious crime and suffered a lot of trauma on his body. In addition, he fought for his whole life, and his injuries were not at all.
Young, at this age, it is really not very good to have old and new injuries attacked together.
Fortunately, Wei Xiaokuan has a good appetite and is strong enough to withstand the pain.
Wei Jin sat aside, looking at his father with heartache.
"My father should have retired and returned home long ago, why bother?"
"What can my father do if he works hard? In just one sentence, he will deny your military achievements over the years..."
Wei Jin felt very uneasy.
This time Yuwen Yong took Wei Jin, the general Yitong, with him. Wei Jin's only mission was to take his old man back to Chang'an.
Wei Xiaokuan said calmly: "Since he was defeated by Liu Taozi, he deserves this punishment."
"But, Da Zhou will be destroyed in Liu Taozi's hands like this."
Wei Jin was not surprised when he heard this. Everyone in the government knew that Wei Xiaokuan had been advocating Liu Taozi's threat theory since early on. When Liu Taozi had just embarked on the career of the government and served as a seventh-rank general, he began to say that Liu Taozi would become
A big trouble in my family.
He has been saying these words until now.
Wei Jin felt that the emperor disliked his father so much, which probably had something to do with this. His father always discussed Liu Taozi regardless of the occasion. He seemed to be asking for attention, but he also had some advice, plus he himself
He lost to Liu Taozi again, which sounded like he was making excuses for his defeat.
Of course, Wei Jin was not easy to say it clearly. He comforted him: "Father, now that you have lost your official position, don't talk about these major events anymore. We will spend our lives in Chang'an with peace of mind...
"Safety??"
Wei Xiaokuan turned his head and looked at Wei Jin, "Do you think we can live a peaceful life when we go back this time?"
Wei Jin was startled and his face changed drastically, "Can your Majesty...\n"
"It's not Your Majesty, it's Liu Taozi!"
Wei Jin then breathed a sigh of relief, and he looked at the old father with a strange look.
Sometimes, he really doubted whether his father was too old, which led to this...::. He was not very smart and always had a strange feeling.
Wei Xiaokuan was very angry with his son's eyes.
"You think I'm talking nonsense, too?"
Wei Xiaokuan said angrily: "I am old, with a slow mind and my body is not as good as before, but I am not as confused as before!"
"Liu Taozi is a cavalryman! What are the cavalry's best at? It's running attack!"
"Why did I lose to Liu Taozi before? It was because his cavalry ran faster than mine and had a larger blow. I could only follow him, but could not stop him."
"When your Majesty leads the army south, where is the north?"
"How long does it take for Liu Taozi to lead the cavalry from Yecheng to Xiazhou?"
"If he set out now, at our speed, he would have passed Shuozhou when we arrived in Chang'an!"
"Who is stationed in the north now? Da Xizhen!"
"If it were Da Xiwu, I wouldn't worry, but now it is Da Xizhen! Da Xizhen is extremely brave and a powerful general! But now, he has led his troops alone once, and he is still fighting Qi Hu, this Qi Hu
Can the army be the same as Liu Taozi's army?"
"He relies on his courage and is the most irritable and fierce. Liu Taozi wants to lure him out, so it is easy for him to get out! As long as he goes out of the city to fight, he will definitely die!"
"By that time, Chang'an will be an empty city. Liu Taozi can directly capture it, who can stop it?"
After listening to his father's analysis, Wei Jin couldn't help but feel miserable.
"Then... why didn't my father tell His Majesty?"
"I said it."
"But, I have lost to Liu Taozi many times, how could Your Majesty listen to my advice to fight against Liu Taozi?"
Wei Jin couldn't sit still now, "If this is the case, then wouldn't Chang'an be very dangerous?"
"No! We can't go back!"
The next moment, Wei Jin began to get into trouble again.
"No, if we don't go back, then mother, brother, sister...what should they do?!"
Looking at his terrified son, Wei Xiaokuan sighed. He raised his head and sighed: "Your Majesty, who was the most tolerant of the past, was furious because of the Chen people. He ignored the dissuasion and led the army to the south... Isn't this God's will
Is it?"
"Don't be scared, go back."
"If we hesitate now and do not go to Chang'an and stay on the road, then there is no need for Liu Taozi to kill us."
Wei Jin's eyes were still panicked, but at this moment he could only take his old father to the unknown distance.
He could only hope that his father made another mistake in judgment, and Liu Taozi would not come at all.
Mianyang.
"Boom~~"
The thrown car roared in anger, and the stones flew up and smashed towards the city wall.
The defenders on the city wall were in a very embarrassing moment, holding their shields high and hiding behind the battlements. Listening to the terrifying stones flying over their heads, some falling directly into the city, causing a lot of grief, while others
Smashed on the city wall,
The city walls are constantly shaking.
Chunyu Liang held a sharp blade and looked at the soldiers on both sides.
The people around him were somewhat frightened in their eyes.
At that time, the old soldiers of Chen State were lost too many by Liu Taozi. Now the legion has adopted many newcomers.
Whether it is officers or soldiers, many of them are newcomers who have not experienced several battles, and most of them have never had the experience of fighting with the Northerners.
The brave and violent attack of the Zhou people frightened these newcomers.
They have never seen such a posture.
The Zhou people no longer played much strategy or tactics, they just kept attacking, facing Chun Yuliang, and looked like they were going to take down the city even if they died.
The Zhou people's losses were already considerable. Chunyuliang relied on the advantages of the terrain and the defense, and defeated the enemy many times.
But not only did the enemy's offensive not weakened, but instead became stronger and stronger.
And at this moment, an even more desperate scene appeared.
In the distance, dust rolled. From the perspective of Chunyuliang, it could be seen quite clearly that the enemy's reinforcements were coming.
This is not a small group of reinforcements. Judging from this situation, there should be a large crowd of people from several places.
These people seem to come from Nanyang, which makes Chunyuliang even more worried.
The throwing car stopped shooting, and the enemy gradually retracted its troops.
I saw the Zhou camp in the distance becoming noisy, and smoke from cooking was rising from all over the place. This was like a new team to work hard. What was terrifying was that the smoke from cooking was spreading all the way, and the soldiers on the city wall could see it.
Where to go,
There was smoke from the enemy everywhere.
There are noises everywhere, and they can even be heard above the city walls.
I saw dust rolling in the distance and horses galloping.
"General..."
Xu Jingcheng stood beside Chunyuliang and looked into the distance, feeling a little uneasy.
"Is something wrong in Nanyang?"
"No...\n... Probably because I think Nanyang is strong and difficult to conquer, so I work together to capture my Mianyang..."
"The enemy has a lot of cavalry and can fight back and forth, but we cannot go out of the city to pursue it. This war is...:"
What Chunyuliang was worried about was not the enemy in front of him, what he was worried about was the next battle.
If Liu Taozi was still there at this time, the enemy would not dare to divide the troops at will. If Liu Taozi was divided, he could eat one. But now, Chen Bing was not able to pursue the cavalry outside. The enemy would come whenever he wanted to come. He wanted to leave.
Just leave and you can travel between the two war zones at will.
What should I do?
In the military camp outside the city, several generals of Zhou were surrounding Yuwen Xian, standing respectfully aside.
Yuwen Xian started commanding.
"Let the knights stop, and there are smoke from cooking, keep lit...:
"Don't attack in the next three days, just create a constant movement of reinforcements coming for me!"
"Let the soldiers rest and rectify for three days...the craftsmen are working hard to create siege equipment!!"
A general hurried forward, "King, we are attacking fiercely overnight and our morale is strong. If we work hard for three days,
I am afraid that this morale will decline, but it will give the enemy a chance to recuperate...\n."
Yuwen Xian's slender eyes revealed a sense of shrewdness.
"Don't worry."
"And just do what I said. If I can't take over the city of Mian County, I will apologize to Your Majesty."
"only!!""
The Zhou army, which was still on the fierce attack, stopped. Yuwen Xian used the supplies he brought to reward them. He met several generals who had killed the meritorious generals and rewarded them, and also cured several officers who had lost their military merits.
The smoke from cooking was getting more and more day by day, and the movement caused by the cavalry was getting bigger and bigger.
The number of land riding to the near Mianshui drinking horses is also increasing sharply. The teams who fetch water can see the front but cannot see the back.
The Zhou people obviously did not launch a fierce attack, but the Chen army on the city was particularly frightened, and panic was spreading. There were many rumors in the city, saying that Nanyang had been captured and that the enemy had summoned 200,000.
The army came and wanted to annihilate them in one fell swoop.
Chunyu Liang was furious and grabbed several detailed works that spread rumors. In front of everyone, they asked them to confess the facts and then kill them.
But the morale of the defenders in this city could not be improved at all, and it was getting worse every day.
After just the third day, Yuwen Xian did not leave any spare energy for himself. He ordered that the entire army set off, as for the city.
At this moment, the city was surrounded by Zhou army on all sides, with dust rolling in the distance, and it was impossible to see the number of enemies clearly.
As the Zhou army beat the war drums, the army began to attack the city.
Of course, it is naturally impossible for so many troops to attack at the same time. Most of them are defending themselves, but siege equipment can be used.
One by one, the throwing carts were pushed to the forefront.
As the soldiers shouted, stones whizzed by.
Yuwen Xian asked Han Qinhu, Yang Su, He Ruobi and other powerful generals to serve as the main attackers and launched a siege from three directions.
When countless stones hit the city and almost submerged the city, the enemy's armored elite began to attack the ladder.
Arrows fly across the city, and the elite pioneers climb to the city.
The morale of the Chen people suddenly collapsed.
Chunyuliang took the lead in counterattacking several times to repel the enemy, but the continuous enemy still climbed the city from the rest of the way.
Chunyu Liang changed his long troops several times, and finally even handed over the enemy in a close handicap. But the old man in his sixties could not withstand the fierce attacks of those young warriors. The city wall fell, Chunyu Liang brought the rest of the troops into the city.
Kill the enemy again.
Chunyu Liang arranged a lot of grass, firewood and other objects in Xicheng. After the enemy entered the city, he asked someone to set fire in Xicheng, and the flames were raging, directly blocking the enemy's path.
He once again led his army to attack the east, trying to regain the East Gate.
Yuwen Xian did not expect that the enemy's general was so capable. After the Zhou people fought hard for a day to take down the city wall,
Chunyuliang actually resisted for more than three hours!!
Until the next day, it was getting darker and Yuwen Xian personally led the army to attack the city.
In the ruins, Chun Yuliang's figure was not found.
He had already fled here with his devil's personal soldiers.
Although Yuwen Xian paid a lot of money, the winner was the final winner.
Yuwen Xian ordered the knights to remove the stomach clothes of the captives and Chen Renshen on the body of the house, and then took out flags, drums, music and other objects, and then let the demon generals take these to Nanyang.
He asked him to inform the Nanyang defenders that Chunyu Liang had been killed, his head, flag, and soldiers were here.
Yuchi Jiong also understood Yuwen Xian's intention. He made good use of this and continued to start his own plan to attack his mind.
Sure enough, the Nanyang defenders were in chaos.
However, because Huang Fa pointed out his usual character, although the soldiers here were afraid, they were still willing to continue fighting with Huang Fat to death, and their morale was not reduced too seriously.
The war continued, and Chen State had no choice but to gain an advantage in the Mian River. The Chen State's navy defeated Hua Jiao again and took the initiative on the water.
But on land, the Chen people lost consecutive battles, and the Mianyang occupied by Chunyuliang was constantly being chewed down by the Zhou people one by one. His position was getting lower and lower, and because of the previous war, the morale of the soldiers was also
Getting lower and lower.
Chunyuliang was almost unable to fight again.
Although Huang Fa was better here, the cities around him had been captured, and his situation became increasingly isolated and helpless.
The weather is getting colder a little bit.
Although there has not yet snowed, the cold wind whistled, and the soldiers of Chen State welcomed the next enemy, cold winter.
This is Jiangling, and its coldness is not as cold as that of Youzhou Yingzhou. However, the Zhou people were obviously more experienced in preparing for the winter. Their winter clothes were distributed very quickly and were delivered to them in various places.
The supplies for keeping cold came, but Chen was one step slower here.
Wei Chi Jiong attacked again. Huang Fajitaoyihu City lasted for more than a month, but finally couldn't defend it. He realized that if he persisted, he might have buried all the troops in Jingbei. He had no choice but to give up the Nanyang defense line and retreated.
Anzhou.
However, when you arrive in Anzhou, you will face greater threats.
Yuwen Xian leaned over from the other side.
Huang Fajitao defeated again.
The Chen people finally won the advantage, but they were spit out little by little under the fierce attack of the Zhou people, and the situation even became worse. If the Zhou people continue to fight like this, this offensive battle against Jiangling will become a counterattack.
The defensive battle in the Lianghuai area was in progress.
December.
Yuwen Yong stood on the chariot, and the knights were distributed in front and behind him.
Yuwen Yong's face turned red by the cold wind.
But his face was filled with a happy smile.
Finally, he won once!
After he arrived in person, the Chen army was defeated one after another, and his commander Huang Fajita was beaten to run away with his head!
If you can capture a few powerful generals of State Chen and bring them back to Chang'an, your reputation will be completely established. At that time, who will dare to say that you have no military achievements!
Yuwen Yong became more and more excited the more he thought about it, and even laughed out loud.
"His Majesty!!"
He saw a general riding a horse to the side of the chariot. He raised his head and looked at Yuwen Yong on the chariot.
"The defeated army with Huang Fa has been discovered! It is less than forty miles away from us!!"
"Okay! OK! Great!!"
Yuwen Yong clapped his hands without hiding the joy on his face. He pulled out his sword and pointed at the distance, "Catch up at full speed! Today, I will definitely keep Huang Fa! I will kill him personally!!"
The general hurriedly bowed his head, "Your Majesty, the war is dangerous. Please stay here first. We will pursue it. Our troops are enough. Your Majesty just wait for good news here!"
"snort!"
Yuwen Yong held a sharp blade with an angry face. He cursed: "The thief in Jiangdong actually acted as a lackey for Liu Taozi. Relying on Liu Taozi's power, he invaded my city and killed the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If he could not kill this thief, I
Why did Wen come here in person?!"
"At present, the Duke of Shu led 50,000 troops on the left wing, the King of Qi led 40,000 troops on the right wing, and my central army also had elite cavalry. How could he be afraid of his yellow trick?!"
"Abide by my orders! Chase!!"
"only!"
The general dared not refute anymore and began to speed up the pursuit.
And directly in front of them, Huang Faji was leading Chen's infantry and cavalry and quickly retreated towards his hometown. Suddenly, Huang Faji snatched the horse, and the knights around him also stopped.
Hundreds of cavalry appeared in the distance, and the leaders stood on high slopes and stared at them.
"Han cavalry! That's Han cavalry!"
The officers beside him shouted, Huang Fa was stunned, the cavalry were already running towards him,
When he got closer, Huang Fajita recognized the other party.
"General Gao!"
The person who came was actually Gao Yanzong.
Huang Fa looked confused, "Why is General Gao here?"
Gao Yanzong looked at Huang Fa and poked the troops around him and laughed, "I'm here to pick up General Huang. Let's talk about these things later. General, let's follow me."
"Don't go south, there is an ambush there."
Huang Fa poked his brows and Xiao Mohe was shocked, "We have an advantage on the water, how could the enemy go around behind us?"
"Hahaha, although General Huang was defeated, he was the best among you. He could still maintain his organization. The rest of the people were completely defeated. Your defense line had been broken through, and some deserters even ran to the scene.
On the way I inspected... If the general doesn't believe it, just keep moving forward and I will leave."
Huang Fa poked his face without hesitation, "Please lead the way!"
Xiao Maha wanted to speak but stopped, but decided to trust his allies.
Several people were talking, but there was a fierce sound of horse hooves coming from afar.
The flag of the Emperor of Zhou was fluttering in the wind.
Gao Yanzong's expression suddenly became excited.
Chapter completed!
