Nowadays, Youtunwei has long become Chai Zhewei's nightmare. In the past two months, he has been dreaming about it at midnight, and he has been awakened countless times. The scene of the artillery fire and the galloping cavalry appeared in his dreams countless times, reminding him that all his pride had been completely torn to pieces and trampled by the Youtun Guards.
The Zuo Tun Guards under his command were fully staffed and well prepared. Even after a sudden attack, they were still beaten to a pulp by half of the Right Tun Guards outside Xuanwu Gate. Then he followed Fang Jun to Hexi and defeated Tuyuhun and Tujue. , how powerful and terrifying will be the other half of the cannibal Youtun Guards?
Just thinking that he is stuck on the road that Fang Junchi must pass to help Chang'an, Chai Zhewei trembles...
Changsun Wuji had a pretty good idea, but he still wanted him to block Fang Jun here for three days?
Haha, I’m afraid that in three days, not even the bones of my soldiers and generals will be left...
Chai Zhewei's thoughts were racing, he weighed it for a moment, nodded and said, "Did this statement really come from the mouth of Duke Zhao?"
Yu Wenjie said: "Of course, at this time, how can I dare to pass on Duke Zhao's oral instructions in such a lowly position? In addition, Duke Zhao still has something to say,"
After a pause, he looked at Li Yuanjing and said: "His Royal Highness King Jing led the army to attack Xuanwu Gate in order to cooperate with the Guanlong army to eliminate the traitors and help the imperial court. Although he was defeated, his loyalty and bravery are commendable. This time I also hope that Jing will His Highness the King will continue to work hard to defeat the reinforcements from the East Palace, clear the world, and protect the new crown prince!"
Li Yuanjing, who originally looked indifferent and indifferent to the matter, suddenly opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief: "Seriously?!"
Yu Wenjie nodded heavily: "It's absolutely true!"
"Hey!"
Li Yuanjing seemed to have suddenly come back to his senses. He stood up suddenly, clapped his hands fiercely, and said excitedly: "The assistant is still interesting! Without further ado, go back and tell the assistant that I will definitely defend Qishan with Duke Qiao. Fang Jun wants to raid Chang'an from now on, unless he steps on our corpses!"
For him, Changsun Wuji's admission was definitely a chance of survival from a desperate situation!
At present, Guan Long has the upper hand. Even if Fang Jun leads his army back to support, he still has the strength to fight. As long as Guan Long wins, all his bad deeds will be wiped out and he will still be the revered King Jing!
Even so, what if we fight to the death?
Since his eldest son, Sun Wuji, had given him such an opportunity to make a new comeback, he couldn't help but repay it with a decent heart...
Yu Wenjie looked at the two of them and thought about the news he had just received that all the family members of Prince Jing's Mansion had been killed. He still did not tell Li Yuanjing, and said in a deep voice: "In that case, I will return to Chang'an City and report to Duke Zhao in person."
Chai Zhewei and Li Yuanjing said in succession: "Please rest assured, Duke Zhao, I will definitely live up to my trust!"
"Okay! I'll leave my humble duty for now."
"Brother Yuwen Xian, walk slowly."
…
When Yu Wenjie left, he was still excited. Li Yuanjing couldn't help but dance and laughed loudly: "It's still the same saying, if you have soldiers in your hands, don't panic! If it weren't for you and me, we still have tens of thousands of elite troops in our hands. His eldest grandson How can Wuji be willing to take another look at us? Now it’s okay, we only need to resist Fang Jun for a few days and then retreat to Chang’an, leaving Changsun Wuji to have a headache for the rest.”
He thought that defeating Fang Jun would be as difficult as climbing to the sky, but if he could resist for a few days with the help of the geographical location, what would be the difficulty? As long as they pretend to defend for a while, and then immediately withdraw to Chang'an regardless of victory or defeat, and join the Guanlong army, they can at least maintain an invincible and undefeated situation.
It's better than having to go north to the outside of the Great Wall to stay with the barbarians, wearing your hair with your left lapel in your lap, right?
Chai Zhewei looked at Li Yuanjing, who was inexplicably excited, and felt helpless to complain.
Mother!
Does this prince naively think that stopping Fang Jun for three days is a very simple task? That's Fang Jun, the strongest army in the world, Youtun Wei!
Holding back the contempt in his heart, he said: "For the humble minister and His Highness, this time is a chance of survival. We must make good use of it to avoid screwing up and causing a lot of trouble. Changsun Wuji has always turned against others, if not If you can fulfill his request, I'm afraid you will turn around and deny it."
Li Yuanjing nodded repeatedly: "That's exactly what it should be!"
The two came to the map on the side of the wall. Chai Zhewei pointed to the straight road in the Ziwu Ridge of the General Manager, clicked heavily on Xiao Pass, and then went all the way to Qishan where they stationed troops. He solemnly said: "Youtun. Although the guards are brave and brave, after traveling thousands of miles from the Western Regions to this place, they will inevitably be exhausted and exhausted, and their combat effectiveness will be seriously reduced. The prince can lead his troops and Chen Bingjian Guiling, and wait until Fang Jun arrives to stop them. I am responsible for commanding the Zuo Tun Guards to support you from behind, echoing from the front and back, and elongating the position so that it is difficult for the cavalry to take advantage of the impact. As long as it falls into a chaotic battle, my army will win!"
Li Yuanjing stroked his beard. The strategy sounded quite similar, but it was unpleasant for him to lead the royal army to stand in the front and face Fang Jun's army.
From Changsun Wuji's efforts to win over, we can see that there must be soldiers at his disposal at any time. As long as there are soldiers in hand, everyone must take a high look. If all the royal troops under his command were wiped out, who would care about him? Not to mention trying to win over and make a wish, I'm afraid I wish I could kill myself personally...
With his thoughts turning, Li Yuanjing sighed: "This time Changsun Wuji can send people here, it is a desperate situation and a God-given opportunity for you and me. We should unite as one, and we must seize the opportunity no matter how great the sacrifice is." . Fang Jun's right garrison is indeed powerful, but what should I fear? It's just a matter of death! However, you also know well how powerful the army under my command is, they are just a ragtag group of people who have not been in battle for a long time. It doesn’t matter if you kill them all, but once they are overwhelmed by Fang Jun’s cavalry, your Zuotunwei formation will be disrupted. When the time comes, you will be defeated, and I will die a hundred times for you!”
Chai Zhewei's eyes twitched, and he cursed this selfish old fox in his heart. His face was full of solemnity, and he shook his head and said: "It's not because of the excuse of a humble minister. The Zuotun Guards fought through Xuanwu Gate, and their troops were seriously damaged. Their morale was also damaged." It is even more sluggish, and the morale of the army is disorganized. Once we face a strong army, how can we have half a chance of winning? If we stand in front to resist the impact of the Youtun Guards cavalry, we are afraid that the entire army will flee in one encounter and the morale of the army will collapse."
Li Yuanjing: "..."
The two looked at each other, looking at each other for a long time, and then they nodded at the same time. Chai Zhewei sighed and said: "Let's go forward and retreat together hand in hand. At this point, if we are still suspicious, I'm afraid we will be dead."
Neither of them wants Chen Bing to go forward to resist the impact of Fang Jun's cavalry, which means that huge casualties are inevitable. Now that only military power has a future, who is willing to put his family's wealth under the iron hooves of a powerful enemy and let it be trampled on? At the same time, both of them are worried about the other party being in the rear. Once their side is overrun by the enemy, what the other side will have to do is not to resist with all their strength, but to retreat in an instant and escape, leaving their side to be slaughtered by the powerful enemy... …
Li Yuanjing thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's very good."
Since they were suspicious of each other and neither wanted to be in the front nor wanted to be behind, it was natural for them to go shoulder to shoulder and live and die according to their destiny.
At that moment, the two of them discussed the defensive layout based on the map and the nearby terrain. You Wenzhi hurried over again, with a panic expression: "The scouts have come to report that a large group of cavalry has been rushing from the direction of Xiaoguan and will be here in an instant!"
The two of them were also a little panicked and did not have time to deliberate on the defensive formation in detail. As they fled all the way, they lost all their weapons and equipment, including horses and other items. Fortunately, Fang Jun, who had rushed thousands of miles away, could not carry too many firearms and crossbows, so he could only They relied on cavalry to rush into the formation, and the Youtun Guards cavalry were not keen on mounted shooting. In addition to using firearms to kill enemies, they paid more attention to the mobility of the cavalry. The real main force in breaking the formation was armored cavalry and heavily armored infantry.
After running for thousands of miles, how could the armored cavalry and heavily armored infantry keep up?
Based on experience, he ordered the spearmen to form a square formation in front, which was enough to resist the cavalry of the right guard. The crossbowmen were behind, the remaining cavalry was arranged on both wings, and the infantry was at the end for ready support.
However, when the two armies formed a formation under Jiangui Ridge, the pre-arranged formation was in chaos due to the lack of tacit understanding between them. When Chai Zhewei and Li Yuanjing finally managed to get into formation under their hoarse voices, the dull thunderous sound of horse hooves could be heard in their ears.
Countless cavalry suddenly appeared out of the wind and snow, rushing from top to bottom along the straight road in the mountain. Their iron hooves crushed the ice and snow on the ground. Their majestic and majestic momentum was as breathtaking as rolling thunder in the sky.
The ground beneath my feet trembled slightly.
When these cavalrymen rushed forward like lightning, they could clearly see the white gas coming from the mouths and noses of the men and horses. The expressions of both Chai Zhewei and Li Yuanjing changed drastically!
