In the first year of Liang Datong (the third year of Wei Xiaochang), on November 23, thirty miles east of the north of Wuyang, the sound of killing on the ground of Yanji shook the sky.

The number of warring parties is actually not much, one side is about 700 in number, all are foot soldiers, the banner armor is known at a glance, it is a section of the Xuzhou army of Liang State. The other side is under the command of General Wei Pingnan and Fei Mu, a regular attendant of scattered cavalry, with only more than 300 people, but they are all elite cavalry, and at this moment, they are relying on horsepower to cross and horizontally, and they are constantly attacking the Liang army array.

Yesterday there was a heavy snowfall, the weather was very cold, and the snow on the ground was thick and deep. Liang Jun stepped on the snow, one foot deep and one foot shallow, running two steps and feeling panicked, the biting chill penetrated the thin boots, and a burst of rumors came up, and it hurt in his heart. On the other hand, the Wei army, one by one, rode on horses, covered with fur furs, not afraid of the invasion of wind and snow, and between the prancing horses and whips, they were all in good spirits.

At the beginning, the Liang army was strong with bows and crossbows, and they could drive the Wei cavalry far away, but gradually the arrows were scarce, so the Wei knights kept approaching. In the snow, the Liang army's foot soldiers were inconvenient to turn, cold and hungry, and their combat power declined extremely quickly. The Wei army had a clear peep and attacked from time to time, splitting the Liang army's array piece by piece.

After a while, the defeat of the Liang army has been revealed, its formation does not exist, and the soldiers are almost all fighting on their own, but where is the opponent of the knights of the Wei army? But the knights of the Wei army flew by, and there were always screams of the Liang army's foot soldiers, and the blood stained the red and white snow.

At the critical moment, there was a rumbling horse's hoof, and a black line rose on the snow-white earth, and it was close in a moment.

The soldiers of the Xuzhou army were ecstatic: "Crown cavalry! It's the crown cavalry who has arrived! I'm saved! ”

It was Pei Guo who led the 500 crown cavalry soldiers to kill in time.

Since the Battle of Wuyang, the Guancai Army has repeatedly broken the enemy's army, and its achievements are impressive, and the Wei people are terrified. At this time, seeing Pei Guo's banner, the Wei knights did not dare to fight, and in the sound of the whistle, they withdrew from the battlefield one by one, beat their horses and fled south.

The situation in the south of Voryang City is unknown, and Pei Guo does not dare to chase and kill easily, so he stops his horse and collects his troops.

Hundreds of soldiers of the Xuzhou Army escaped death, their spirits were lifted, and they hurriedly helped the wounded, struggled to pull their legs out of the snow, and hurriedly retreated north.

The leading Xuzhou military officer stepped forward to thank Pei Guo, but Pei Guo waved his hand and said: "There are still military affairs in the body, and there is no delay." That's it, there will be a date later! He led five hundred horsemen to turn around and run, and soon disappeared without a trace.

The Xuzhou military general shook his head and said to himself: "This kind of ice and snow, I am miserable for my foot soldiers. Although General Pei led the cavalry, his life was not easy, every day in the south, south, north, west, and north, I don't know how many places to run to meet the various armies, tired and half dead. ”

"Isn't it?" Someone on the side had already intersected: "Since I came to the north of this vortex, it can be regarded as a bitter waiting, but it is a day without fighting." drove away the Yuanyuan Department in the north, and the Wei army in Voryang City in the south came out to harass again; drove away the Wei army of Wuyang, and Yuan Yuanfu sent people to attack again. It's really stumbling and exhausted. Coupled with this ghost weather, you don't have to fight when you come out, you have to freeze to death and frostbite a bunch of brothers first. ”

"In such a weather, we should stay in the south of the vortex sun and slowly hold on to the Wei people. It's good right now, if you have to come to the north of the vortex sun, and be sandwiched between the northern and southern Wei armies, how can people not beat you? ”

"It's not all to blame that Chen Qingzhi is arrogant, he has won two battles, and he doesn't know how many pounds and taels he has, so he dares to take such a risk. Hey.,The partial envoy also told him to move.,It's really.,I want to cry without tears.。。。 ”

Since the Liang army advanced to the north of Wuyang more than half a month ago, the Wei people were like hungry wolves smelling blood, and they continued to attack from the north and south, day and night. The Liang army fought everywhere, and it can be said that there was no battle every day.

The weather is really cold, and if it snows heavily, it will be like today, and it will be difficult for the Liang army to move an inch. If it doesn't snow, it's not good to freeze everywhere. Occasionally, the weather gets warmer and the sun is shining, but after the four days of thawing, it becomes a piece of mud, and the shoes are wet and cold when you step on it, and it does not dry all day long, and it becomes more and more sad.

All in all, during this period of time, the officers and men of the Liang army in various departments were really miserable. Pei Guo and Yang Zhong led the crown cavalry army to have horses to ride, and they seemed to be more comfortable to look at, but they had to bear the responsibility of maneuvering, and they had to run to the rescue whenever they were in a hurry, and sometimes it was even more difficult than the foot soldiers.

Chen Qingzhi also felt that ---the weather turned cold too quickly, and many war strategies could not be carried out in the ice and snow, and the Wei people learned to be obedient, no matter which end of the north and south, they never went deep alone, and always restrained at both ends. As a result, the Liang army made little progress, and it was difficult to hurt Yuanyuan's main force.

。。。。。。

At this moment, in the big tent of the Liang Army near the camel stream, the generals of various departments gathered, and the dispute was very loud.

Several Xuzhou army generals were angry: "If it goes on like this, it is really unbearable!" Not to mention that the various departments are tired, just the transfer of grain, grass, firewood, and salaries, and they always have to bypass Voryang City before reaching the army, and the convoy is often attacked, and the losses are huge, is this a long-term solution? ”

He surrounded Chen Qingzhi a few and a half times, dancing with his hands and foaming at the mouth, as if he was in a crowd. Cheng Jingjun stood behind and watched coldly, although he saw that his subordinates were rude, he refused to stop him.

Seeing the embarrassment of the main general, the generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army were duty-bound, strode forward and surrounded Chen Qingzhi's side, glaring angrily at the generals of the Xuzhou Army. But deep in his heart, he was also secretly thinking: what Chen Dudu said originally said that he would soon be able to break through Yuanyuan's department and easily return to attack Vortex Yang. It is expected that there has been no progress in the war so far, and the grain and firewood carried by the army have become tight. In the long run, I'm just afraid... I'm afraid it's really a self-defeating place.

The two cockfights generally face each other in one place, and the atmosphere in the tent is very unharmonious. It's strange to say, on weekdays, Chen Qingyi is like a river in his mouth, talking endlessly, but this time he is silent, squinting his eyes and not knowing what he is thinking.

At the moment, Pei Guo pushed everyone away, took two steps forward and said loudly: "Our army is indeed tired and difficult, but why is the Wei army?" In the past few days, I have moved to the north and south, and everywhere I went, most of the Wei army was mediocre in combat strength and their morale was not high. When the captives were caught, they all said that they did not have enough food and clothing, and they were cold. Since the two armies are fighting in winter, it should be like this, so why should you complain? Could it be that everyone is afraid of the Wei army in front of them? ”

Pei Guowei is famous, and he has rescued soldiers and horses from various departments many times in this period, and is quite respected by all departments in the army. When everyone saw that it was him who spoke, no one refuted it for a while.

"Humph!" At this time, Cheng Jingjun opened his mouth: "How can my Liang man be afraid of just asking for a captive? If you keep fighting, it doesn't hurt. But today is not a complaint, it is really a certain family that has received a report that the Wei army of Wuyang is building forts in the south, stretching from west to east, stretching more than a dozen. If these forts are built one by one, such as the iron lock across the river, not only will the army's food route be cut off, but I am afraid that if the army wants to retreat south, it will not be available at that time! ”

"Huh?" There was an uproar in the tent. Not only the generals of the Xuzhou Army, but even the generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army also changed their faces and were terrified. Someone shouted in a trembling voice: "Cheng Envoy King... Can you see it? ”

Cheng Jingjun nodded, with a solemn expression: "Since we should have retreated south in time, we should have rectified the logistics of the troops, and slowly figured it out." Even if it drags on for a long time, it is better to fight again in the spring than to take such a risk. In case of a real defeat here, not only will you not be able to take down Vortex, but I am afraid that even Shouyang and Xuzhou will be shaken! ”

After Cheng Jingjun finished speaking, the generals of the Xuzhou Army applauded loudly. The generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army looked at each other, and their hearts were shaken, and they all turned their eyes to Chen Qingzhi. The anxious man couldn't help but shout: "Dudu, the matter is urgent, it is better to make a decision as soon as possible!" ”
