Chapter 383: Winter War
Zhao Changqing invested a total of 1.5 million troops on the battlefields of the two countries.
It already constitutes almost most of the wealth of the Wei State.
Moreover, the supplies for winter this time are very abundant, including cotton-padded clothes, quilts and other items.
The whole country has devoted all its efforts to the preparations, and its purpose is to make life easier for the soldiers far away at the border.
Of course, Wei's New Year's Eve is not going to be easy.
However, people across the country are surprisingly supportive.
If it were ordinary people from other countries, they would have secretly scolded the imperial court.
After Zhao Yun received the winter supplies, he had already begun his long journey.
While passing through Luoxia Valley, spies under Li Yijun spied on his army.
Based on the direction of the army's advance, Li Yijun deduced that Zhao Yun was going to bypass him directly, take a dangerous route, and then attack Lingzhou, the capital of the Liang Kingdom.
In order to ensure nothing went wrong, Li Yijun urgently summoned the generals in the camp to discuss how to check and balance Zhao Yun.
In Li Yijun's camp, there are two land gods, both of whom are masters of the martial arts in Liang Kingdom.
Among the generals, no one has advanced to the realm of land gods.
Facing Zhao Yun, they dare not say they are absolutely sure.
Because there are rumors in the world that Zhao Yun has advanced to the realm of land gods.
Facing this veteran general, they didn't have time to avoid the sharp edge, so how could they stupidly bump into him.
Li Yijun knew the thoughts of the generals. Facing the five tiger generals of the Wei army, he did not trust any of the generals, but he could not go himself.
Therefore, we could only say to them: "Who is willing to lead the troops to ambush Zhao Yun and prevent him from crossing the Luoxia Valley? As long as we can prevent Zhao Yun from attacking the capital, after the garrison of the cities in Liang Kingdom is assembled, we will win a great victory.
hour."
The generals discussed it one after another.
Li Yijun was in a state of confusion.
Listening to their voices, it seems that they are all afraid of Zhao Yun like a tiger.
He said helplessly: "The truth is that we still need to maintain a large formation and cannot attack Zhao Yun. To the east of Luoxia Valley, there is a primitive canyon that has never been visited by humans. If we place an ambush there, we will definitely make it impossible for Zhao Yun's troops to come back."
!”
Still no one answered the generals.
The risk is too great.
In recent years, the reputation of Wei's five tiger generals has become more and more popular day by day. This battle is really impossible to win.
Sometimes even Li Yijun wonders why Wei has so many talented people.
One of the five tiger generals is a talent that will shock the past and the present!
He is a person who can support a country.
Usually, when one such person appears in a country, it is very impressive.
Could it be that it is in line with the fate of the Wei Kingdom?
Li Yijun was completely disappointed with the people in front of him.
Even though he himself has already mentioned his methods to delay Zhao Yun, these people still dare not go into battle. They are really afraid of death and the country will perish!
There was a general named Chen Gang. From the beginning to the end, he was not discussing matters related to Zhao Yun like the other officers and men.
Seems like he's thinking about it.
Worried for a long time, he bowed to Li Yijun and said: "Prime Minister, as the saying goes, a brave man must be rewarded with a heavy reward. I wonder how the court will reward him if he defeats Zhao Yun?"
Li Yijun knew that he had fought some victorious battles, and he was considered a good soldier. Among the many generals in front of him, he was considered outstanding, but his martial arts skills were not outstanding. He said: "If we defeat Zhao Yun, I would like to ask your majesty to give you some help."
title."
Title!
This made many people tempted.
However, Zhao Yun is a big mountain!
It was so overwhelming that they all couldn't breathe!
However, Chen Gang took on such a difficult task and said: "In that case, let the last general lead the army to stop Zhao Yun!"
Li Yijun frowned and said: "I know that although you can march and fight, you are not good at martial arts after all. And Zhao Yun is a land god who has cultivated himself. Can you do it on your own?"
Chen Gang said confidently: "The strength of one person is just a reckless man. In war, we still have to look at the formation of troops."
Li Yijun asked: "Do you have this confidence?"
Chen Gang said: "I wonder how many troops the Prime Minister will give me to stop Zhao Yun?"
Li Yijun said: "One hundred thousand, at most one hundred thousand, otherwise it will be difficult to maintain the large formation."
Chen Gang said: "According to the Prime Minister's plan, one hundred thousand should be enough. By then, I hope the Prime Minister will serve a wine to celebrate the victory!"
Li Yijun laughed and said: "Okay, I will give you one hundred thousand troops. Remember, Zhao Yun must be defeated. If possible, it is best to completely annihilate them!"
Chen Gang solemnly clasped his fists and said: "The last general takes orders!"
If Zhao Yun wanted to bypass Luoxia Valley and not capture other towns, there was only one way to go: the valley. It was already winter, and if he was not careful, his army would be frozen in the ice and snow.
Therefore, Zhao Yun will be extremely cautious every step the Wei army takes now.
After marching into the canyon, Zhao Yun divided his army into three and gradually crossed the canyon in stages.
Naturally, he leads the vanguard.
Encountered an ambush by Chen Gang.
After a great battle, the losses were heavy.
If it weren't for the support of the rear army and Zhao Yun's earth-shattering cultivation, I'm afraid he would have died in the canyon today and would have been unable to break through.
Lost the first battle.
This is something Zhao Yun did not expect.
In fact, the fault lies not with Zhao Yun but with Xiao Yuming.
It was him who failed to keep a close eye on Li Yijun.
Regarding the dispatch of 100,000 troops, Zhao Yun should have noticed some strange phenomena or clues no matter what, to alert Zhao Yun.
After losing the first battle, Zhao Yun retreated for more than ten miles and has not yet exited the canyon.
Chen Gang wiped out 60,000 enemies in his first battle and suffered less than 1,000 self-inflicted losses.
This battle gave him a lot of confidence, and he wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue it with all his strength.
Then, they attacked Zhao Yun's troops at night.
Then, they were counterattacked and annihilated by Zhao Yun.
A dark crowd surrounded Chen Gang.
He is almost no different from a prisoner now.
Zhao Yun said to him: "I thought you wouldn't come to attack the camp tonight, but I didn't expect you would dare to come. Don't you know the true meaning of the sentence of Wei Jun scouting Jia Tianxia?"
Chen Gang closed his eyes, already accepting his fate.
This time I led an army of 30,000 to attack the camp. Unexpectedly, from the moment I left the camp, my every move would be in the eyes of the Wei army scouts.
No wonder, many people have secretly attacked the Wei military camp, but no one has ever succeeded.
Miscalculated.
Zhao Yun then said: "You are quite proficient in the art of war. You can think of ambushing me deep in the canyon. It is really unexpected. I wonder if you are willing to surrender to the Wei Dynasty. With your talents, you will be able to receive a high official salary just around the corner."
Chen Gang still closed his eyes and said nothing.
Zhao Yun said to the bodyguard beside him: "Send him on his way."
Afterwards, Zhao Yun mounted his horse, and about 60,000 light cavalry went out with him.
These are all the cavalry brought by Zhao Yun.
They are now going to attack Chen Gang's department at night.
Chen Gang's head rolled to the ground and he died with his eyes open.
Chapter completed!
