"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 unfavorably, the bad news brought by the scouts made him even more irritated.
"Speak!" After adjusting his golden armor, Dong Wen held up 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 he didn't kill anyone after all. It's a pity that his surprise attack plan suddenly came to nothing.
The siege battle ahead is still in full swing. Liang Jun, who had recovered from his injuries, screamed in pain from time to time. Many military doctors accompanying the army are already short of manpower. One by one, the frightened military officers began to hold the military registration book and cross out the names of the soldiers who died in the 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. The long-cherished wish to set foot in the Central Plains seems to be getting further and further away.
That 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 may be 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 military advisor died in Shuzhou. And his 100,000-strong army was blocked outside Lucheng by civilian thieves.
"Ming Jin... withdraw the troops!"
Dong Wen's voice was hoarse, and his face was full of unwillingness. If I had known this, I would have listened to Sima Xiu's last letter, and there would not have been another round of disastrous 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. As a result, many of the soldiers in the marching team were wrapped in winter robes and walked forward carefully on the frosty and snowy ground.
"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, after a roundabout way to the hinterland of Liangzhou, many traps were laid along the way.
"If it succeeds, the Liang army that has returned to Liang will definitely suffer another wave of heavy losses."
Unlike the Liang people, their Shu army only needs to retreat to Lucheng, which is not too far away. But Dong Wen led the returning army to rush to Liangzhou City, which was two to three hundred miles away.
"Lianghu is still alive, and he should advise 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 snow in late winter will cover the entire country."
…
In Lucheng City, Xu Mu, who was guarding 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. By holding the bridgehead of Faliang, next year's war should be smoother.
Of course, although Dong Wen is violent, he is by no means a person who will be captured without mercy. I am afraid that he will take advantage of the winter truce to find ways to prepare more 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 does not rule 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 road and retreat outside Lucheng. But from the west gate, eight thousand fine Liangzhou cavalry suddenly arrived. Wei Feng took five thousand Shu cavalry and charged head-on.
The losses were heavy, and out of the five thousand Shu cavalry, only more than two thousand were left. Of course, after Liangqi was attacked by surprise, it was even more tragic, and half of them were directly damaged in the battle.
"My lord, Wei Feng apologizes." It was freezing cold, Wei Feng was bare-armed, carrying two pieces of thorns on his back, and knelt down in front of Xu Mu with a cry.
"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 Wei Feng came to apologize on his own.
"Wei Feng, you are getting better and better. When you followed me to Wangzhou, I didn't see you being so pretentious. Hurry up and put on your 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 for my crime?"
"No, merit adds up to merit. Wei Feng, remember, you did nothing wrong if the general was not harmed by your life. If it were me, I would still intercept it. Put on your robe and armor, and take the remaining two thousand Many Shu cavalry will cooperate with the military advisor to intercept and kill them."
"Delayed the Liang people's troops from returning to the army, and then returned to Lucheng with the military advisor."
"Lord, is the military advisor 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 the first general to charge into battle, and his ability to discern the battlefield was far inferior to that of Chao Yi. But with a fighting will to move forward, it is 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 people's 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 like an arrow. If you say you miss home, it is definitely a lie. What's more, his wife gave birth to a big fat boy in Chengdu.
But the war 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.
"My lord, don't worry. I, Wei Feng, will hang the head on the egg. If I don't kill Liang Gou, I won't return to Lucheng! My 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 wall. 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 the matter with you? You can't have enough to eat? I'll blame 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 killer suddenly looked like a sad little man, crying with a trembling voice.
