Chapter 891: Encamping in Yuntian
Li Xinchen's words made Cheng Feng subconsciously shudder.
He had followed Xiao Shilian to participate in the Battle of Langzhong at that time, and he could probably understand what Li Xinchen wanted to do. The winding Jingshui River Valley, coupled with the complex terrain of Longshang, can definitely constitute a trap like the original Cangxi Valley, so that Yu Yi can get in but it is difficult to get out.
It may seem like a path with an exit, but the loss and mental torture of demanding it on this path is enough to break anyone. In the battle of Cangxi Valley that year, Wei Chi Hui and Wei Xiaokuan were not without a chance to break out of the encirclement, after all, the Sword Pavilion 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 in the end, at least half of the people should be able to escape.
It's just that they finally gave up, the battle in Cangxi Valley has worn out the fighting spirit of most of the soldiers in the army, even if Wei Chi Hui and Wei Xiaokuan can muster up the courage, these lecturers will no longer follow them in this senseless struggle. In particular, the capture of He Louzigan and the successive defeats of Cao Xiaoda and others dealt an irreparable blow to the morale of the army.
The morale of the generals and the morale of the army can never be compared, most of the generals have gradually grown up after the war, so they are more likely to experience setbacks and face difficulties, but the soldiers are different after all, they will lose the confidence of victory because of the blows of various factors, and they will begin to hesitate because of the anxiety of their companions, a soldier who thinks that there is no hope for victory can easily spread this negative and negative emotions to the rest of the people, if the generals at the grassroots level have no way to detect it in time, Then soon the whole army will be depressed.
What Li Xinchen has to do is to let Yu Yi's soldiers and horses gradually lose their fighting spirit.
After all, the Jingshui River Valley is not Cangxi Valley, and the surrounding terrain and terrain are very different, Li Xinchen naturally will not follow the script, and because of the weather, he can't really make a big move, and now Li Xinchen is not sure whether his elite from the south can withstand the test of the wind and snow in the north.
Therefore, the main actor this time should still be Anding Niu, who is more familiar with the local situation. Li Xinchen immediately said to Niu Tong: "Now find all the people in the team." ”
————————--
Jingshui River Valley, Yuntian.
The reason why it is called Yuntian is because it is one of the few terraced fields in Longshang, which stretches from the river valley to the top of the mountain, as if the fields have been inserted into the sky. It's just that because of years of war, the fields here have been barren, and the scattered houses between the fields have also been abandoned and dilapidated.
But even so, Yu Yi's personal guards still tried their best to sort out a spacious house that was leaking everywhere as much as possible as Yu Yi's Chinese army commander's tent. This is the turning point of the river valley, although the wind is whistling, but most of these winds are blowing on the opposite cliff, standing in this field can not feel much wind power, but in this dilapidated house listening to the whistling outside, Yu Yi's heart is also indescribable.
After all, Yu Yi had just arrived in Yuntian to prepare to set up camp, and before he could take a breath, he received the news that Tianshui had been lost. From Tianshui to Jingshui Valley, there is only half the distance from Tianshui to Anding, so Yu Yi knew this fact even before Li Xinchen received the news.
The loss of Tianshui was within the expected range of Yi, Li Xinchen was such a powerful enemy here, Yu Yi did not expect to be able to defend the two cities. When he went to Anding, the order given to the partial division heading to Tianshui was to defend and block, not attack.
It's just that the speed of Tianshui's loss is still beyond Yu Yi's imagination, and the new Taishui Taishou is still Wang Kun, who has already told Yu Yi how Tianshui lost it, coupled with the incitement of public opinion detected by the spies, which made Yu Yi have to be vigilant.
Li Xinchen is obviously very good at grasping people's hearts - of course, Yu Yi doesn't know that it is Changsun Sheng who is actually in the leading position in the process of taking Tianshui - and fighting in such a snowy and frozen winter, it is obvious that Yu Yi's most important thing to pay attention to is not where the enemy is, but whether the military spirit of his own family can be stabilized.
If the army's heart is shaken, then there will be nothing to fight in this battle, with Li Xinchen's ability, he will definitely not let go of this obvious weakness, and then put Yi to death. How did Wei Chi Yu and Wei Xiaokuan lose in Cangxi Valley, Yu Yi didn't have studied it, and he didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past.
Therefore, today's march is actually only ten miles, Yu Yi decisively ordered to stop, and he also saw the slower and slower marching speed of the army, and at this time he would rather slow down than try to seize the front.
"General, I just received news that there are enemy scouts three miles to the north." Yu Xi walked in quickly, "The enemy's scouts had no intention of fighting, and they turned around and left after a face-to-face fight with our scouts, but before our scouts came back, they stuck back together." ”
"I'm afraid that the news of our stationing in Yuntian will soon reach Li Xinchen, but until now we don't know where Li Xinchen is." Yu Yi couldn't help but sigh, now the only thing he can know is that Li Xinchen should not be in Tianshui, because the banner on the head of Tianshui City is from the Tianshui Liang clan and Li Xinchen's marching chief Sun Sheng, who has already appeared publicly.
However, as for whether Li Xinchen is on the way from Tianshui to Anding, or whether he is already waiting for the rabbit in Andan, then Yu Yi does not know, but he knows that Li Xinchen will inevitably attack soon. For Li Xinchen, it was obviously more appropriate to destroy this army on the road than to let it enter Anding City.
"Report, General, Tianshui Urgent!" At this moment, a scout quickly rushed into the camp tent, out of breath, "Found enemy scouts, north of Tianshui!" ”
And Yu Yi and Yu Xi glanced at each other, and Huo Ran got up.
At this time, hundreds of miles away, in the Weishui River Valley.
One stone after another rolled down from the cliff, and the panicked Northern Zhou army on the road was busy dodging, but these stones came too fast and too densely, almost all of them fell accurately into the crowd, and each stone hit at least two or three targets, and the castration was not reduced, and it rolled straight down into the river valley next to it.
Because of the dry water in winter, more than half of the river is exposed craggy rocks, and the few little water currents have been frozen, so people are rolled up by stones, and then fall on the rocks, which is basically a dead word.
"Quick, get out to the clearing!" A Northern Zhou general shouted loudly, and his face was full of helplessness and even despair.
