Yu Shengwei received the war book, he read it again, and directly tore the war book to shreds.

"The thief has deceived me too much! This time, I will raise troops to avenge Mr. Pu! Yu Shengwei was furious.

Chang Zhangye said: "Envoy, what is written in the war book? ”

"Ling said that I am not strict in governing the army, I don't know anyone, and I can't even protect my chief strategist. He also said that I didn't have the guts and didn't dare to lead troops for revenge. ”

"Envoy, Ling Ji is deliberately provoking you and wants you to lead your troops eastward, we can't fall for his tricks!" Chang Zhangye said.

"How could I fall for the tricks of the Lord! If he doesn't write a war letter, I will personally lead the army to fight against him. ”

"No troops!" Chang Zhangye knelt down, "Envoy, the Ling army is strong, we have few soldiers, and it is difficult to win the crusade against Ling." ”

Yu Shengwei said: "Don't drive, I have sent Mo to Zhanzhou City a few days ago to invite Cen Liangzhi to raise troops to fight against Ling Ju. I have made up my mind, don't persuade me anymore, get up. ”

Chang Zhangye sighed and stood up.

At this time, Yu Moyuan walked over quickly and said, "Father, the child is back." ”

"How? Did Cen Liangzhi agree to send troops? Yu Shengwei asked.

Yu Moyuan shook his head and replied: "Cen Liangzhi said that he was defeated by Ling Ju before, and more than half of the soldiers were killed and wounded, so he couldn't raise troops to attack Ling Ju for the time being. ”

Yu Shengwei listened and said: "It doesn't matter if Cen Liangzhi doesn't send troops, just with our Ruizhou army, we can also break the city and seize the village and kill Ling Zhi." ”

Yu Moyuan thought for a while and said, "Father, Cen Liangzhi doesn't send troops, it's difficult for us to win, let's wait for a while and then raise troops." ”

"What? Mo Yuan, don't you want to avenge your master? Just now, Ling ordered someone to send a war letter, humiliating our father and son, if we dare not send troops, we will be laughed at by him, laughing at us for being cowardly as a mouse! ”

As soon as Yu Shengwei's voice fell, the doorman came in and said, "Envoy, there is a woodcutter outside the door, and I want to see the envoy if I have something." ”

"Woodcutter? Let him in. ”

The doorman came in with the woodcutter, who was wearing a hat on his head, dressed in coarse cloth, with a long beard on his face, and was about forty years old, and did not salute when he saw Yu Shengwei.

Yu Shengwei asked, "Who is under the feet?" What's going on here? ”

The woodcutter replied: "My name is Zuoqiu Hu, and I live in Luming Slope outside the east gate. I heard that the envoy is going to raise an army to fight against Lingjiao, but all the necessary grain and grass are ready? ”

"It's all set."

"Really?" Zuoqiu Hu smiled, "Looking down, the envoy still has to prepare something." ”

"What are you going to prepare?"

"Prepare a sharp sword. You will suffer a great defeat in this expedition, and when the time comes, you can kill yourself with a sharp sword. ”

"Presumptuous!" Yu Shengwei was very angry, "You don't want to talk nonsense, go back to the mountains to chop wood, come here, drive him out!" ”

"So that you don't have to be angry, let's go now." After saying that, Zuoqiu Hu left the Thorn Mansion.

Yu Shengwei said to everyone: "Early tomorrow morning, we will march east to fight against Lingjiao!" Chang Zhangye stayed in Ruizhou City. ”

Early the next morning, Yu Shengwei set off with his army. When the army marched to Luming Slope, Zuoqiu Hu suddenly appeared and blocked in front of Yu Shengwei's horse.

"It's you again! What are you doing? Yu Shengwei said impatiently.

Zuoqiu Hu arched his hand and said: "Envoy, it will be difficult for you to win here, there will be many Ruizhou soldiers who have given their lives in vain, and it is not too late to go back now." ”

Yu Shengwei pressed his sword and reprimanded: "Zuoqiu Hu, if you dare to disturb the heart of our army, I will kill you!" Get out of the way! ”

Zuoqiu Hu smiled bitterly and stood aside.

In the general's mansion, Ling Ju was discussing the battle with the generals, and a scout ran in, knelt down and said: "General, Yu Shengwei has brought 50,000 troops to kill, Chunfanzhai has been breached, and the Ruizhou army has set up a large camp outside Cangyi Pass. ”

General Zuo Yu used to say: "Chunfan Village was lost so quickly, and the soldiers guarding the village were all wine bags and rice bags!" ”

"General Yu, it's not their fault, I gave a secret order to let them withdraw, this is my proud strategy." Ling said.

"I see. Yu Shengwei has now arrived outside the Canglu Pass, there are only 8,000 defenders in the Canglu Pass, do we send troops to reinforce it? Yu Xi asked.

Ling Ji paused and said: "No need, Canglu Pass is a dangerous pass, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Ruizhou army is not good at attacking the city, they can't attack it." You send someone to go to Canglu Pass and tell the guard Ni Huanzheng that he is only allowed to hold on, and he is not allowed to fight, if he violates the order, he will be killed! ”

"I'll send somebody." Yu Yi said.

Yu Shengwei led the army to camp outside the Cangqi Pass, and he said to the generals: "We won the first battle yesterday, and it only took half an hour to capture Chunfan Village. ”

The general An Zhiting said: "Envoy, the last general is willing to lead troops to attack Canglu Pass." ”

"The last general is willing to go with him." Bian Xianyi said.

Yu Shengwei nodded and said, "Okay, I will order you to take 30,000 people to attack Cangqi Pass, and capture Guancheng within two hours." ”

"No!"

The Ruizhou army launched a catapult, and the dense stones smashed into the Canglu Pass. Immediately afterwards, the Ruizhou army rushed towards the wall. The soldiers in front of them held large shields in their hands, like a wall, to block the feather arrows that were shot down, and Bian Xianyi and An Zhiting led the soldiers to follow behind the shield soldiers. Ni Huanzheng saw that the Ruizhou army rushed to the foot of the wall, and urgently ordered the defenders to smash it down with rolling logs and stones.

The Ruizhou army was not good at attacking the city, and the soldiers were smashed down halfway through the ladder, and no one could attack the wall. Ni Huanzheng ordered the crossbowmen to fire arrows at close range, shooting down a large number of Ruizhou troops, An Zhiting was hit by an arrow in his left arm, he gritted his teeth and pulled out the arrow, wanting to continue the siege, Bian Xianyi pulled him.

"General An, this wall is too high, let's withdraw first." Bian Xianyi said loudly.

An Zhiting said: "I didn't hear the sound of Mingjin, so I can't retreat. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the voice of Mingjin was heard, and General Bian An withdrew to the camp with the Ruizhou army.

Yu Shengwei looked at An Zhiting and said, "General An, your left arm is injured, go to the army doctor for treatment." ”

An Zhiting knelt down and said: "The last general is incompetent and has failed to capture the Canglu Pass, please punish the king!" ”

Yu Shengwei helped An Zhiting up and said: "I can't blame you for this, I saw it just now, Cangqi Pass is indeed dangerous, and it is not easy to capture it!" Go and heal your wounds first. ”

"No!"

For more than a month after that, the Ruizhou army attacked the city many times, but was repelled by the defenders led by Ni Huanzheng.

Yu Shengwei looked at the marching map in the big tent of the Chinese army, fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he sighed.

Yu Mo entered the big tent and said: "Father, Canglu Pass has not been able to be captured for a long time, we have killed 8,000 soldiers, and now the morale of the Ruizhou army is low, it is better to retreat back to Ruizhou." ”

"Moyuan, you can't retreat, I've already asked people to go to Xiaojing City to give an order, let Zhu Pinzhi bring another 5,000 soldiers to come over for reinforcements, and within ten days, we will definitely be able to capture Canglu Pass."

"Father, there are at least 200,000 troops under Ling's account, even if we can break through the Canglu Pass, we can't defeat Ling's account. The child thinks that it is better to withdraw the troops as soon as possible. ”

Yu Shengwei walked in front of Yu Moyuan and said, "Moyuan, what's wrong with you?" Grow the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige. In Ruizhou City, you persuaded your father not to raise troops, and now you want to withdraw troops for your father, is it possible that you are afraid of that Lingjiao! ”

"The child is not afraid of Lingjiao, but if you continue to fight like this, father, I am afraid that you will really suffer a big defeat."

Yu Shengwei said angrily: "Even you believe that woodcutter's crazy words? What a disappointment for my father! ”

Yu Moyuan stopped talking and withdrew from the big tent.

In the general's mansion, Ling said to the generals: "Yu Shengwei is difficult to advance in front of the Cangqi Pass, and there are nearly 20,000 dead and wounded soldiers. Now the time has come to destroy him, Yu Xi, you take 100,000 soldiers to rush to Canglu Pass immediately, attack the camp of the Ruizhou army at night, and kill them all! ”

At the time of the third watch, Yu Yi led an army of 100,000 to rush out of the Canglu Pass, and he personally led 5,000 iron cavalry to rush in front, and soon entered the camp of the Ruizhou army.

Zhang Shiwu ran into the big tent of the Chinese army and said, "Envoy, quickly retreat, the Ling army has entered the camp!" ”

Yu Shengwei didn't have time to put on his armor and helmet, so he followed Zhang Shiwu outside the tent in only a single coat. An Zhiting rode over and said loudly: "Let the king go quickly, and the last general will block the thief for you." ”

Yu Shengwei led Zhang Shiwu and dozens of his own soldiers to fight their way out of a bloody road, and fled westward on horseback. An Zhiting fought with Tao Shanling for seven or eight rounds, and was stabbed to death by Tao Shanling with a single shot.

Yu Moyuan and his junior brother Zong Yanxiao led their soldiers to form a battle formation, shot Ling Jun with a bow and crossbow, and retreated while fighting.

Captain Qi led the cavalry from Miao to kill Yu Moyuan's battle array. When Ling Jun was about to arrive in front of the battle, Zong Yanxiao single-handedly killed him, and knocked Qi Congmiao off his horse with one shot, and Ling Jun's cavalry was stunned for a while, and they turned their horses around and ran.

Bian Xianyi was surrounded by Huwei general You Zhisheng with his troops, he was alone, fighting to the death with an axe, and was seriously injured. At this time, Shen Chu and Ji Feng'an came with Ruizhou Iron Cavalry and rescued Bian Xianyi.

Yu Shengwei and his entourage rode horses and galloped, and when they came to Chunfan Village, they suddenly saw a team of people and horses in front of the village, and they opened a fighting formation, led by Huangfu Sui and Luan Yimian.

Yu Shengwei stopped his horse and asked, "Why are you two here?" ”

"A few days ago, the eldest brother asked the two of us to live here with 3,000 soldiers, saying that if the Ruizhou army is defeated, let us block the pursuing soldiers here." Luan Yimian said.

"Okay, be sure to stop the pursuers." After speaking, Yu Shengwei breathed a sigh of relief and led people to Ruizhou City.

Yu Moyuan and Shen Chu also led their troops to retreat to Chunfanzhai successively, and Yu Yi also led the iron cavalry to chase after them.

After the three brothers of Yu Moyuan led 3,000 soldiers, the Ruizhou army slowly retreated westward, and the formation was not chaotic at all.

Yu Yi knew that the three brothers were all generals of the bear and tiger, and he did not dare to lead the army to press, so he ordered the iron cavalry to stop.
