Li Xingchen's words made Cheng Feng shudder subconsciously.
He had followed Xiao Shilian to participate in the Battle of Langzhong, and he could probably understand what Li Xingchen wanted to do. The winding Jingshui River Valley, coupled with the complex terrain of Longshang, could definitely form a trap like the one in Cangxi Valley, allowing Yu Yi to
It's possible to get in but it's difficult to get out.
It seems that this is a road with an exit, but the losses and mental torture required on this road are enough to make anyone collapse. In the battle of Cangxi Valley, Yuchi Jiong and Wei Xiaokuan did not fail to stand out from the encirclement.
Chance, after all, Jiange was still in their hands at that time. As long as they could grit their teeth and break through the defense line established by Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie at the end, at least half of the people should be able to escape.
But they gave up in the end. The battle in Cangxi Valley had worn away the fighting spirit of most of the soldiers in the army. Even if Yu Chijiong and Wei Xiaokuan could muster the courage, these lecturers would no longer follow them in this senseless struggle.
.Especially the capture of He Lou Ziqian and the steady retreat of Cao Xiaoda and others caused an irreparable blow to the morale of the army.
The fighting spirit of generals cannot be compared with the morale of the army. Most generals have gradually grown up after going through wars, so they are more likely to endure setbacks and face difficulties. However, soldiers are different after all. They will lose their victory due to various factors.
Confidence will begin to hesitate due to the uneasiness of his companions. A soldier who thinks there is no hope of victory can easily spread this negative and negative emotion to others. If the generals at the grassroots level cannot detect it in time, then it will be very easy.
Soon the whole army will be depressed.
What Li Xingchen had to do was to make Yu Yi's troops gradually lose their fighting spirit.
After all, the Jingshui River Valley is not the Cangxi Valley, and the surrounding terrain is very different. Naturally, Li Xingchen will not follow the script, and because of the weather, he cannot really go to war. Now Li Xingchen is not sure that his team comes from the south.
Whether the elite can withstand the test of the northern wind and snow.
Therefore, the main actor this time should be Anding Niu, who is more familiar with the local situation. Li Xingchen immediately said to Niu Tong: "Now find all the people above the general in the team."
——————————
Jingshui River Valley, Yuntian.
The reason why this place is called Yuntian is because it is one of the few terraced fields in Longshang, with layers of terraces extending from the river valley to the top of the mountain, as if the fields have been thrust into the sky. However, due to years of war, the fields here have become
They are all deserted, and the scattered houses among the fields are also abandoned and dilapidated.
But even so, Yu Yi's personal guards still tried their best to organize a room that was spacious even though it was leaking from all directions. It served as Yu Yi's military headquarters. This was the turning point of the river valley, although the wind was howling.
However, most of these winds hit the cliff opposite. Standing in this field, you can't feel much of the power of the wind. However, listening to the howling outside in this dilapidated house, Yu Yi felt the same in his heart.
The taste is indescribable.
After all, Yu Yi had just arrived in Yuntian to set up camp, and before he could take a breath, he received the news of the fall of Tianshui. From Tianshui to the Jingshui River Valley, it is only half the distance from Tianshui to Anding, so Yu Yi even received the news before Li Xingchen
Just know this fact.
The fall of Tianshui was within Yu Yi's expectation. With such a powerful enemy like Li Xingchen here, Yu Yi could not hope to defend the two cities. When he went to Anding, the order he gave to the partial division heading towards Tianshui was to defend and
Block, not attack.
However, the speed of Tianshui's fall was still beyond Yu Yi's imagination. The new Taishui governor was still Wang Kun, who had already told Yu Yi how Tianshui was lost. In addition, the spies discovered things that incited public opinion, which made Yu Yi even more confused.
Wing had to be more vigilant.
Li Xingchen is obviously very good at grasping people's hearts - of course Yu Yi doesn't know that it was Changsun Sheng who actually took the leading position in the process of taking Tianshui - and fighting in such a snowy winter, it is obvious that Yu Yi needs him most.
What you pay attention to is not where the enemy is, but whether your family's military morale is stable.
If the morale of the army is shaken, then there will be nothing easy to fight in this battle. With Li Xingchen's ability, he will never let go of this obvious weakness, and then put Yu Yi to death. How did Yuchi Jiong and Wei Xiaokuan end up in Cangxi Valley?
It's not like Yu Yi hasn't studied what he lost, and he doesn't want to make the same mistake again.
Therefore, today's march was actually only ten miles, so Yu Yi decisively ordered to stop. He also saw the army's increasingly slower marching speed. At this time, he would rather slow down than try to get ahead.
"General, we just received news that there are enemy scouts three miles to the north." Yu Xi walked in quickly, "The enemy scouts were not interested in fighting. They met our scouts and turned around to leave, but they didn't wait for us.
When the scouts came back, they stuck together again."
"I'm afraid the news that we are stationed in Yuntian will soon reach Li Xingchen, but until now we don't know where Li Xingchen is." Yu Yi couldn't help but sigh, and now only Li Xingchen should be known.
Not in Tianshui, because the flags on top of Tianshui City belong to the Liang clan of Tianshui and to Sun Sheng, Li Xunchen's marching secretary who has been publicly unveiled. If Li Xunchen was here, neither the Liang clan of Tianshui nor Chang Sun Sheng would definitely put their flags down.
Hang the flag as a flag.
But as for whether Li Xingchen was on the way from Tianshui to Anding, or was already waiting in Anding, Yu Yi didn't know, but he knew that Li Xingchen would definitely launch an attack soon. For Li Xingchen, it would be a waste to take this team
It is obviously more appropriate to destroy the army on the road than to let it enter Anding City.
"Report, general, urgent report from Tianshui!" At this moment, a scout rushed into the camp quickly, out of breath, "The enemy scout was found north of Tianshui!"
Yu Yi and Yu Xi looked at each other and stood up suddenly.
At this time, a hundred miles away, in the Weishui River Valley.
Stones rolled down the cliff one after another, and the panicked Northern Zhou army on the road hurriedly tried to avoid them. However, these stones came too fast and too densely, and almost all the stones fell accurately into the crowd.
, each stone hit at least two or three targets, and the force did not decrease and rolled straight down into the nearby river valley.
Due to the low water flow in winter, more than half of the river is covered with exposed jagged rocks, and the few bits of water flow have been frozen. Therefore, if a person is rolled up by the rocks and then falls on the rocks, he is basically a
The word death.
"Quickly, retreat to the open space!" A Northern Zhou general shouted loudly, with a look of helplessness and even despair on his face. (To be continued)
