By this time, not to mention the cold and lonely Qingnikou, it was already the coldest time before the New Year in many places in the north.
If we say that the flat plain north of Zihao is most vulnerable to strong winds coming from outside Beiyanze, making everything covered with frost and ice, Dayuan is even more difficult, although there are some scattered mountains. Blocking it did not cure the root cause. There seemed to be a gap in the sky that ran through the east and west. It had been snowing and windy for days, and it had not stopped for several days, and it had even become more urgent. From daytime to sunset, the sky is dark and the ground is covered with dark curling clouds, making it difficult for everyone to tell the time. In a quiet place where no one is around, the snow layer is already knee-high, even a little higher than that of a child.
Even a large number of old people were talking about it. This heavy snowfall, which is coming fiercely and has no follow-up, has not been seen for at least thirty years. If it really lasts for a few more days, I am afraid it will be rare to see it even for a period of time. The snow is so strong It is particularly huge, with the west wind and the north wind pouring into the Great Yuan Dynasty. Is it because God is angry that the war in the Great Yuan Dynasty has not stopped, or is it because of those uneasy times that shake the heaven's secrets? Ridiculous sayings are widely spread, and they all have their own reasons. Based on this, of course we can’t tell which one is right or wrong.
The soldiers and horses at the Luzhou barrier never had time to spare. Instead, they took advantage of the snow to go to the people's homes to lend a hand. However, whenever pedestrians slipped and fell into the snow, or fertile fields were buried under heavy snow, The nomadic farmers' cattle and sheep were trapped by this heavy snow that had not been seen for many years, so they all had to mobilize people. In this wind and snow, which was a heavy drag on both the Xumeng Mansion and the states under the jurisdiction of the Zhengzhang Palace, Wen Wen Yu and Wang Xunchi were running around arranging men and soldiers, which was the most tiring work. However, they also improved their reputation and reputation among the people. In the end, those so-called military rumors had stopped one after another, and few people were interested in it anymore. to the mouth.
In this snowstorm, Tang Bufeng, who personally led the Feng Yan soldiers to go out to spy on the enemy and attack the fortress, finally fled back covered in blood in front of the gate of the Luzhou fortress after the heavy snow completely buried it. However, the entire Feng Yan soldiers , except for Tang Bufeng, no one survived, and all of them died in the ambush that used cultivators.
His body was as strong as Tang Bufeng's, and he had to be warmed and nourished for nearly ten days before he could barely move. This was because his old injuries from being trapped in the wind and snow during the earlier attack had not healed, and when he was escaping from the territory controlled by Xumeng Mansion, he encountered repeated encounters. Nearly a hundred cavalrymen came up one after another, as if they knew that Tang Bufeng was still alive, so they always left a large number of iron cavalry horses to block him. Even though he was lucky enough not to hit the cultivator, he rode alone, broke away, and was surrounded and intercepted by nearly a hundred cavalrymen. The sound of the bow and the vibration of the string are still a narrow escape. Even though the royal court of the Zhengzhang fought hard to catch up, and Wen Yu gradually became more familiar with his military training methods, and was able to defeat the Xumeng Mansion cavalry in the battle at Wufeng Mountain, it must be admitted that the iron cavalry horses in the northern territory belong to the tribe and are the most powerful, and the Xu Meng Mansion soldiers Although the power is no longer what it used to be, it is still much stronger than the royal court of Zhengzhang.
Tang Bufeng took the lead to seize the bow, armor and arrow pot. Although he was light and fast, he used his own physical strength to pull the bow and shoot from the horse. He only killed six enemies. The rest of the time, most of them ran away with their lives. Fortunately, because of his superb riding skills, The mount is running extremely fast, and the remaining internal energy means are used to block the cavalry rushing in front of it, or the arrows slung from the bow are only twenty or thirty steps away, which is the only way to escape the danger and get rid of the pursuers. At the foot of Luzhou Barrier City, there were arrow wounds on both shoulders and backs. A total of more than ten wounds, large and small, were sustained, and only one life was left.
Tang Bufeng was unconscious for a few days, and Ruan Qiubai stayed by his side for a few days. During this period, Wen Yu wanted to come to the door, but was blocked by the sword delivered by the Ruan family leader with 100% of his inner energy. He remained silent for a long time, and finally stood up and left. , but Tang Bufeng's injury improved. When he got up, he went to see Wen Yu first.
"How's the injury? You're running around before you've recovered. You're really not afraid of being punished by Miss Ruan."
In an ordinary house on the border of Luzhou, the door had been replaced. When Wen Yu stood up to greet him, she realized that Tang Bufeng had indeed almost died. His figure was thin, his face was sunken, and his body's internal energy was very little. Unconsciously, he frowned.
However, Tang Bufeng just waved his hands, not forgetting to salute Wen Yu, and then he sat down in the area that was not a mess, and said with a wry smile, "What a punishment, my wife has almost been tortured in the past few days." , even those who are practicing are on tenterhooks all day long, and if the food is not coming in and the Qi is not connected, it is also a bit overwhelming. Now I am doing some Qi recuperation at my residence, so I took advantage of this rare opportunity to come and talk to Wen Shuai. "
Then he stretched out three fingers and shook them, sitting up straight in his usual lazy posture.
"Three things, the first one is that Xu Meng Mansion has been so long
Under the leadership of Yan Qiye, he was wary of the rules of the practice set by the Five Jue of the practice, so he has not used the practitioners in the Xumeng Mansion for a long time. But now in the world, the Five Jue seems to have neglected his jurisdiction, and he has not yet learned about the five of them. There are traces of Xumeng Mansion that are ready to move. This time when they attacked the camp with Feng Yan soldiers, they were attacked by cultivators. They were mostly from the three realms. There were a few people in total. It was because their subordinates sacrificed their lives that they barely managed to survive. I am afraid that after this trial, in the future, During the war, the figures of these practitioners may not be concealed. "
Wen Yu nodded silently.
Thinking about setting up a wandering soldier like Feng Yansu, Wen Yu had thought that in addition to spying on the enemy and burning down the fortress, which was his duty, he also wanted to find out what was true and what was true, so that he could use these soldiers who could move freely and skillfully to test the Xumeng Mansion. Whether there are cultivators in charge is also a part of Wen Yu's expectation when he first set up Feng Yanzu. However, he never imagined that the sick scholar who was always rumored to be about to die would really be Zang Feng and had endured it until now. It was because Fengyan soldiers frequently came out of seclusion that practitioners were sent to deal with them as a last resort.
Yan Qiye's influence was already visible when the Xumeng Mansion gained power. Almost all the cultivation sects in the entire Yuan Dynasty were subdued by Yan Qiye, but until now, there are still only a few cultivation sects. The middleman took action. Firstly, he was wary of the rules established by Wujue. Secondly, since the war was stable and smooth, he also believed that there was no need to use practitioners. However, the current situation has become more complicated and confusing. It is hard to see whether the king of Zhengzhang will be superior. The court took back half of the country, and considering the size of the area, the number of people was still higher than the number of people in the territory controlled by Xumeng Mansion. It was unusual for him to resort to such measures as a last resort.
A knife, as cold as water, hanging in the air, without anyone holding the handle, will always fall to the ground, but it has not yet been implemented before.
"The second thing is that an old man told me that there is a cloud platform in the east, which will destroy the city and fortifications, and it will come soon." Tang Bufeng shook his two fingers, looked up at Wen Yu, and saw that his expression was as usual, Then he continued, "I have never read any articles by saints, and I still don't have a husband. I haven't been in school, and I haven't seen any writing, but I can still understand some meanings. To the east of the Luzhou barrier, there must be soldiers and horses. We are ready to prepare. If we really want to help the Meng Mansion find a good opportunity, we must destroy the city and fortress. I have done it once when the scholar was commanding the army, so I am very familiar with it."
"The second thing is mostly a redundant sentence, but when I listen to the third thing in conjunction, it seems that it is not an easy way to make a living. Although I have hurt the foundation of the realm before, but in any case, I am practicing in the three realms. Although it is not easy to deal with hundreds of cavalry, it definitely shouldn't be so embarrassing. Moreover, at this point in the war, both sides must be exhausted of men and horses, and they are tired of long battles. But to be honest, I only talk about the group of cavalry that surrounded me earlier. Generally speaking, the appearance and strength of the army have not declined much compared to the original, and even the armor and arrow pots that were snatched are almost the same as what I heard from people in the battle at Wufeng Mountain."
Sure enough, Wen Yu frowned severely when he heard this.
There was no reason for Tang Bufeng to brag about the power of others. In fact, he was seriously injured and dying when he rode a horse to the front of the pass. Without the cultivation of the Three Realms, the bleeding alone would be enough to kill an ordinary person. Fortunately, it was He had practiced swordsmanship for many years and his bones were strong, so he was able to watch the scenery at the gate of hell and was lucky enough to survive. In this way, it can at least be concluded that the Xumeng Mansion's soldiers and horses, at least the most elite group, did not cause much trouble. Although the Xu Meng Mansion is no longer as strong as before, the money spent on the soldiers and horses is roughly It can still be maintained for a long period of time. It is expected that Yan Qiye will not make such a bad strategy. Even if it is suspected of military conquest and extortion, it is still not at the point of exhaustion.
Although they were only a few short sentences, they all made Wen Yu's face look sad.
Controlling the military garrison in Luzhou Barrier was a good solution that Shao Hehan and Wen Yu, Cen Shixiang, worked hard on for a long time. It undoubtedly added a layer of protection to the royal court of Zhengzhang. The worst thing is that the soldiers were not idle and started to make troubles. Military regulations The morale of the military is still stable, and the people's morale is not broken. It is also able to rely on the Luzhou barrier to resist the enemy without fighting. It is hard to change whether the soldiers are strong or weak and good at fighting, and convert it into the ability to manage the territory. With a word of procrastination, the Xu Meng Mansion can no longer be able to fight. Fight. But at the moment, it seems that although it is very effective, it is probably because the experts in Xu Meng's house have guessed their intentions. Simply using delaying means may not be effective.
After all, whether soldiers are brave or not is not something that can be filled overnight.
"Although he is considered a defeated general, he still has some words to advise General Wen, probably
If Yun Zhong, who has become more and more of an asshole recently, is here, the same thing must be said. Some things can never be avoided. Instead of working hard to maintain a defensive posture, it is not necessarily smarter than burning the boat. Besides, now that the Royal Court is in charge For family background, this battle may not necessarily be completely lost. After all, the scholar is also a human being and will make mistakes. What's more, if you don't do something, many people will force you to do something. "
Wen Yu could understand what Tang Bufeng said, and even if the royal court could afford it, there might only be half a step between stalemate and victory, but it would be different after all.
"Although Xiao Yunzi looked very strange when we last met, and what he said was unpleasant, he is still worried about some people. You might as well guess whether General Wen is among these people."
Tang Bufeng said goodbye and left. Wen Yu sat in this extremely secluded handsome tent until dawn.
The wind and snow brought friends and company, roaring and blowing, making the camp tent sound lonely and messy.
