Outside the city of Weizhou

After Liu Chong suffered a defeat, he felt that this was the biggest defeat in his life, after the end of the war, he ran back more than 20,000 and nearly 30,000 people, at this time Liu Chong knew that the cavalry on the opposite side was actually not much, at most only 20,000 or 30,000, if he did not call retreat at that time, he insisted on resisting the charge of the cavalry, maybe he would not have been defeated so completely.

Liu Chong realized it later, and now he finally knew Zongxin's overall plan. He just deliberately showed a losing move, knowing that he could think of using the fog and the sound of drums to carry out, and then suddenly attack the city. Originally, Zongxin could set up an ambush, but the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and even if Zongxin set up an ambush, it would not have much effect.

For Liu Chong's side, he was originally nervous, but after finding out that Zong Xin did not set up an ambush, he relaxed all his body, and finally suddenly made his nerves tense, and the cavalry killed. At this time, he ordered the whole army to retreat, and if he resisted hard, he did not see a victory. But at that time, it was Zongxin's attack that had the upper hand, and as a result, the most wrong order was given to the whole army to retreat, and the infantry was pursued by the cavalry when they retreated, and the soldiers in the city were also killed, it was a completely one-sided massacre, and the soldiers completely lost their sense of battle and fled for their lives.

This incident is a great shame for everyone, 50,000 to 10,000, and as a result, they were killed by others. If this matter gets out, don't think about continuing to mix it up in the future. But how could such a big matter be hidden? Soon it spread all over the world, and the Khitan side also sent envoys, and at the same time sent a new round of 10,000 troops to reinforce the Northern Han.

Liu Chong dispatched 20,000 horses and horses to Weizhou, this time he had already exhausted the strength of the whole country, and the huge Northern Han Dynasty could no longer select more troops, and the only remaining ones were used to guard the Khitan border as the final defense.

After the first battle, Liu Chong finally received a battle report from Xuzhou, at that time Liu Chong knew that Zongxin had the ability to call for wind and rain, and even laid heavy snow in Xuzhou to close the streets, the climate was extremely cold, and Guo Wei's 80,000 troops were all gathered in Xuzhou, so that Xuzhou could not fight this battle, even if it was fought, it would be a defeat for both sides.

Murong Yanchao is a soldier borrowed from Li Jing, of course Li Jing will not do his best to help others fight the country, he is here to take advantage of this, if this battle is fought well, of course Li Jing will attack with all his strength, if the fight is not good, Li Jing will withdraw his troops immediately, there is no doubt about this.

That is to say, this battle is all up to Liu Chong of the Northern Han Dynasty and the Khitan army, if you can capture Weizhou, everything will naturally be fine, if you can't fight it...... Everything is over.

However, I also got some useful information from the battle report, there were only so many people in Weizhou City, and my spies were not wrong. All of Guo Wei's troops are gathered in Xuzhou, and there is no need to play tricks with Zong Xin at all, as long as he directly attacks the city, there is no one who will not win.

Liu Chong knew very well in his heart that since Guo Wei did not bring troops, then the reinforcements of the entire Weizhou were only Zongxin's cavalry troops, and the cavalry could indeed crush the infantry during the ambitious war, but the siege cavalry was useless at all, and their mounts could not all become Zongxin's wolves, so there was no need for any tactics, just a strong attack.

Liu Chong was originally timid, but he had already shown great boldness in the last battle. In the end, he was frightened back to his original form by a large number of iron horsemen, and lost a favorable opportunity. Instead, he was a white wolf with Zong Xin's empty gloves and won a big victory. This made Liu Chong depressed for several days, and he hid in the quilt and cried when no one was around.

Finally recovered, Liu Chong gathered the army again, this time Liu Chong didn't plan to make any more plans, because he knew that he was not Zongxin's opponent, and he would definitely lose miserably if he played a strategy, so this time he didn't want to do anything, just attack the city.

In the camp, Liu Chong sighed: "General Xiao, has the number of Khitan casualties been counted?"

"Yes, the casualties are nearly 6,000, but His Majesty sent another 10,000 horses, so now there are more than 14,000 Khitan warriors, ready to kill Weizhou at any time. And there has been no fog during this time, I don't know why, now I don't dare to guess Zong Xin's ability easily. ”

Xiao Gude also got the news that Zong Xin actually made it snow in the warm Xuzhou, and just some time ago, he also made Weizhou foggy, and the ability to call the wind and rain can no longer describe Zong Xin's strength, he can clearly control the weather. You can even summon hailstones, although I didn't pay attention to it in the fog that day, but in retrospect, I know that those hailstones were also a good thing that Zongxin did.

If it weren't for the hailstorm that attracted the attention of a large number of people in advance, it might not have been so badly defeated. First, the hail scattered the team, and then it was crushed by the iron cavalry, and the whole team was crushed, even if they resisted forcibly, how could the infantry be the opponent of the cavalry?

Zong Xin really had no last resort, and even the mentality of everyone present was clear, so Xiao Gu didn't dare to say lightly why there was no fog during this time, anyway, he only told the facts. As for the reason, it depends on what Liu Chong thinks.

Liu Chong turned his head to look at Chi Du beside him, and then sighed and said, "You said, others also study the Fa, and you also study the Fa, why are others so powerful, you are like a waste." ”

"No way, if it wasn't for the junior brother who deliberately wronged me for stealing the old woman's underwear, I wouldn't have been expelled from the sect by the master. I was shameless for a long time, for fear that the master would not pass on his master's learning, so he designed to drive me away, and I traveled all over the world in order to seek revenge on him for so many years. If I also learn these skills, Zongxin will not be a problem at all. Chi Twilight is obsessed with this matter, and her life's pursuit is to seek revenge. But belatedly, Shenlong saw the beginning and the end, although his martial arts were not high, but he could predict the danger, and if he wanted to catch him, he would not lose his mana to the help of someone like Zongxin.

Liu Chongdao: "Chengjun, my father sent you to spy on Weizhou, what did you gain? What has Weizhou been doing recently?"

Liu Chengjun said: "Back to my father, Weizhou has been very happy these days, he has been holding banquets, and no one has cleaned up the corpses of soldiers outside the city. A lot of wine and meat were sent from Taiyuan, and during this time, Weizhou seemed to celebrate festivals every day, perhaps because of a big victory, so the soldiers were still happy. ”

"How many people are there in that cavalry unit?"

"3,000 people, no more, no less. Liu Chengjun said: "This is Zongxin's direct subordinate troops, originally a small gang developed in Weinan, called the Ao Gang, bullying the township and doing all kinds of evil, Zongxin killed the leader of the Ao Gang, and the elder and weak scholar Zhao Pu succeeded him as the leader of the gang. Zhao Pu was ambitious and took the initiative to include the Ao Gang under Zongxin's account, and after that, the Ao Gang changed its appearance, did its best to repair bridges and roads, and completely abandoned the previous unsightly businesses and got on the right track. Then Zong Xin led the entire Ao Gang to a small island, which is now known as Salt Island, and all the salt so far has been produced by the Ao Gang. Now the number of the Ao Gang has reached 5,000 people, leaving 2,000 to continue the work on Yandao, and the remaining 3,000 followed Zong Xin all the way to Weizhou, and was attacked by the Ao Gang in the last battle. ”

Liu Chong nodded, this son is not bad, he actually made the information so complete. Unexpectedly, the people who produced salt in Yandao turned out to be Zongxin's direct troops, and they would only be loyal to Zongxin alone, and the hometown of this unit turned out to be Weinan.

But think about it, Liu Chengjun has always been in the rivers and lakes, and he knows far more about this news than the people in the court. I also had no one in my hands, so I called my son back to help. However, Liu Chengjun is too angry, and his ambition is not in the imperial court, which is Liu Chong's most depressed point. Fortunately, this child is still filial, and now the Northern Han Dynasty is the most critical time, and he also knows to come back to help.

Liu Chong looked back at Chi Dui with a smug expression, which meant to let Chi Duan see his son, this son is quite capable, and he is much more useful than him anyway. These two brothers are like rivals, but they are very compatible.

Chi Du said depressedly: "Your Majesty, you don't have to be like this, Zongxin is already better than me." But don't treat me as an idle eater, it's almost time for Senior Brother Wuwei to come out. ”

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the poor path is here. ”

I don't know where the voice came from, suddenly a gust of wind flashed, and outside the camp stood an extremely terrifying-looking Lei Gong. A face that is so fierce that a child will cry when he sees him. Even Liu Chengjun, who thought he was an old man, almost drew his sword when he saw it, this person looked terrible.

"Don't be nervous, you'll have this reaction the first time you see him. Chi Du said: "My senior brother is different, just look at his appearance and know that he is absolutely extraordinary, I can't fight Zongxin alone, so please come to my senior brother to help, as long as there is no help for my senior brother, even if I can't win Zongxin, at least I won't lose much to him." ”

Wuwei Daoist came to Chi Dui's side and looked at Liu Chong, and then nodded lightly: "Your Majesty is polite." ”

Liu Chong took two deep breaths and looked at the Wuwei Taoist twice, this person was wearing an ordinary Taoist robe, holding a wooden sword behind the dust, his forehead was towering, and his temples were bulging, this was the appearance of the three flowers gathering at the top, his eyes were big and round like copper bells, but the pupils were very small, his eyes were extremely vicious, his beard was like a steel needle spreading in all directions, his skin was dark, and his lion nose was wide. It's better to look smooth at first glance......

Liu Chong doesn't mind a person being ugly, after all, it is the time for the Northern Han Dynasty to employ people, as long as he has the ability to fight against Zong Xin, even if he has an extra head, it is acceptable.

Chi Du introduced: "Senior Brother Wuwei's surname is Guo, and he has not taken a step out of martial arts for ten years, and he has devoted himself to cultivating Taoism. If it weren't for the good relationship between our brothers, it would be impossible for Senior Brother Wuwei to leave Wuxian to help. ”

Liu Chong nodded and said, "Wuwei Daoist is polite, but I don't know if Wuwei Daoist knows anything about the battle situation?"

"The poor road can be pinched and calculated, and it is already clear to the chest. Zongxin is indeed a good hand, and he won a big victory against 10,000 against 50,000, which is very admirable. Wuwei said: "But then again, no matter how powerful Zongxin is, 10,000 is still 10,000, there is no need to play any tricks with him, just attack directly." People in the world are ignorant, and they will always seek trouble for themselves and let others take advantage of it. ”

"Okay, the Taoist chief is really powerful, and he thought of a place with the widow. These words really spoke to Liu Chong's heart, no matter how powerful Zong Xin is, no matter how clever his art of war is, in the face of absolute superiority in numbers, unless Zong Xin practices the so-called sprinkling beans into soldiers, no matter how exquisite the strategy is, as long as he does not eat him, Zong Xin has no choice. This time it was a siege, Zong Xin originally couldn't play any tricks, and the last defeat was all due to his cowardice and too much fear of Zong Xin's ability.
