Chapter 597 Inaction Daoist
Outside Weizhou City
After Liu Chong suffered a defeat, he felt that this was the biggest defeat in his life. After the war ended, more than 2 and nearly 3 people ran back. At this time, Liu Chong realized that there were not many cavalry on the opposite side. Twenty to thirty thousand, if I hadn't called for a retreat at that time and just resisted the cavalry charge, maybe I wouldn't have been defeated so completely.

Liu Chong realized later, and now finally knows Zong Xin's overall plan.He just deliberately showed a defeat, knowing that he could think of using the fog and the sound of drums to attack the city suddenly.Originally, Zong Xin could have set up an ambush, but the disparity in strength between the two sides was too great, so even if Zong Xin set up an ambush, it would not be of much use.

As for Liu Chong, he was extremely nervous at first, but after finding out that Zong Xin hadn't set up an ambush, he relaxed all of his body and mind, and finally he suddenly became nervous, and the cavalry came to kill him.At this time, the corners of the formation were disordered and the whole army was ordered to retreat. If they resisted hard, there would be no victory or defeat.But at that time, Zong Xin had the upper hand in attacking the heart, and finally gave the most wrong order to make the whole army retreat. When the infantry retreated, they were chased by the cavalry, and the soldiers in the city were also killed. It was a completely one-sided massacre. Losing the consciousness of fighting, he kept running for his life.

This incident is a great shame and humiliation for everyone, but they were killed by others.If this matter gets out, don't even think about messing around in the future.But how could such a big matter be hidden?Soon it spread throughout the world, and the Khitan side also sent envoys, and at the same time sent a new round of [-] troops to reinforce the Northern Han Dynasty.

Liu Chongjia dispatched 2 troops to Weizhou. This time, he had exhausted all the strength of the whole country. The huge Northern Han Dynasty could no longer choose more troops. The only remaining troops were used to guard the Khitan border. Make a final defense.

After the first battle, Liu Chong finally received the battle report from Xuzhou. At that time, Liu Chong knew that Zongxin had the ability to call the wind and rain, and he even covered Xuzhou with heavy snow to block the streets. The weather was extremely cold, and Guo Wei's [-] troops were all in Xuzhou. The state gathered together, so that Xuzhou could not fight this battle, even if it fought, it would hurt both sides.

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

That is to say, this battle depends entirely on Liu Chong and the Khitan army of the Northern Han Dynasty. If Weizhou can be captured, everything will be fine, if it cannot be defeated... everything will be over.

However, I also got some useful information from the battle report. There are only so many people in Weizhou City, and my spies did not miscalculate.All of Guo Wei's forces were assembled in Xuzhou, and there was no need to play tricks with Zong Xin. As long as they attacked the city directly, none of them would fail.

Liu Chong was very clear about the strength of the Song Clan. Since Guo Wei did not bring troops, the only reinforcements in Weizhou were the cavalry troops of Zongxin. The cavalry is useless at all. It is impossible for all their mounts to become Zongxin's wolves, so no tactics are needed, just a strong attack will do.

Liu Chong was originally timid, but he was very bold in the last battle.In the end, he was frightened back to his original shape by a large number of cavalry, and lost a favorable opportunity.Instead, Zong Xin beat the white wolf empty-handed and won a complete victory.This made Liu Chong depressed for several days, hiding under the covers and crying when no one was around.

Finally recovered, Liu Chong gathered his troops again, this time Liu Chong didn't plan to make any more tricks, because he knew that he was not Zong Xin's opponent, and he would lose badly if he played tricks, so this time he didn't think about anything, just attacked the city .

Inside the camp, Liu Chong sighed, "General Xiao, have you counted the number of Khitan casualties?"

"Yes, the casualties were nearly 1, but His Majesty sent another [-] horses, so now there are more than [-] Khitan warriors, ready to attack Weizhou at any time. And there is no fog during this time, I don't know why , now I don’t dare to easily guess Zong Xin’s ability.”

Xiao Gude also got the news that Zong Xin actually made the warm Xuzhou heavy snow, and just a while ago, he also made Weizhou heavy fog, the ability to call wind and rain can no longer describe the power of Zong Xin, he clearly can control the weather.You can even summon hailstones. Although you didn't pay attention in the fog that day, in retrospect, you know that those hailstones were also a good thing that Zong Xin did.

If the hail hadn't attracted the attention of a large number of people in advance, maybe it wouldn't have failed so badly.First, the hail broke up the team, and then they were crushed by the iron cavalry. The whole team was defeated. Even if they resisted forcefully, how could the infantry be the opponent of the cavalry?

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

Liu Chong turned his head to look at Chi Mu beside him, then sighed and said, "You said, others are also studying the Fa, and you are also studying the Fa. Why are other people so powerful, and you are like a waste."

"I can't help it. If my younger brother didn't deliberately wrong me for stealing the old woman's underwear, I wouldn't have been expelled by the master. I was shameless for being late. I was afraid that the master would not pass on his unique skills, so I planned to drive me away. After so many years, I just wanted to find him. For revenge, I travel all over the world. If I also learn these skills, Zong Xin will be no problem at all." Chi Mu is deeply concerned about this matter, and her lifelong pursuit is to seek revenge.But the belated Shenlong sees the head but doesn't see the end. Although his martial arts are not high, he can foresee the danger. If he wants to catch him, he must have the help of someone with Zong Xin's magic power.

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

Liu Chengjun said: "Reporting to my father, Weizhou has been very happy these past few days. Banquets have been held, and no one has gone to clean up the corpses of soldiers outside the city. A lot of wine and meat have been sent from Taiyuan. During this period, Weizhou seems to be celebrating every day , maybe it’s because they won a big victory, so the soldiers are still happy.”

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

"3000 people, no more, no less." Liu Chengjun said: "This is Zongxin's direct unit. It was originally a small gang that developed in Weinan, called the Ao Gang. It bullied the villagers and did everything. Zong Xin killed the leader of the Ao Gang. , Zhao Pu, an elder and weak scholar, succeeded the head of the gang. Zhao Pu was ambitious and took the initiative to bring the Ao Gang into Zongxin's account. Then Zong Xin led the whole Ao Gang to a small island, which is now known as Salt Island. So far, all the salt is produced by the Ao Gang. Now the number of Ao Gang has reached 5000 , leaving two thousand to continue the work in Yandao, and the remaining three thousand followed Zong Xin all the way to Weizhou, where they were attacked by the Ao Gang in the last battle."

Liu Chong nodded. This son is not bad, and he has made such complete information.Unexpectedly, the people who produce salt in Yandao are Zongxin's troops directly under him, and they will only be loyal to Zongxin alone, and the hometown of this army is Weinan.

But if you think about it, Liu Chengjun has been in the rivers and lakes, and knows more about these news than 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 arrogant, and his ambition is not in the court. This is Liu Chong's most depressing point.Fortunately, this child is still considered filial. Now that the Northern Han Dynasty is the most critical time, he also knows to come back to help.

Liu Chong looked back at Chi Mu with a smug expression, meaning to let Chi Mu see his son, this son is quite capable, anyway, much more useful than him.The two old brothers are like enemies, but they are in harmony.

Chi Mu said depressedly: "Your Majesty, you don't have to do this, Zong Xin is better than me in the first place. But don't treat me as an idler, it's about time for Senior Brother Wuwei to come out."

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the poor are coming."

The voice came from nowhere, and suddenly a gust of wind flashed by, and there was an extremely terrifying Lei Gong standing outside the tent.A face is fierce and fierce, and children will cry when they see him.Even Liu Chengjun, who thought he was an old Jianghu, almost drew his sword when he saw it. This person looks too scary.

"Don't be nervous, you will have this reaction when you see him for the first time." Chi Mu said: "My senior brother is a different person, you can tell by his appearance that he is absolutely extraordinary. I can't beat Zong Xin alone, so please come here Help, as long as there is no brother to help, even if you can't beat Zong Xin, at least you won't lose him much."

Taoist Wuwei came to Chi Mu and looked at Liu Chong, then nodded gently and said: "Your Majesty is polite."

Liu Chong took two deep breaths and looked at Taoist Wuwei twice. He was wearing an ordinary Taoist robe, holding a wooden sword behind a fly whisk. He had a high forehead and bulging temples. This was the appearance of three flowers gathered on the top of his head. His eyes were like copper bells. They are generally big and round, but their pupils are very small, their eyes are extremely vicious, their beards spread out in all directions like steel needles, their skin is dark, and their noses are wide and their mouths are wide.It's not as good as seeing Shunliu at first glance...

Liu Chong didn't mind if a person looked ugly. After all, it was the Northern Han Dynasty employing people. As long as he had the ability to fight against Zong Xin, even an extra head was acceptable.

Chi Mu introduced: "Brother Wuwei's surname is Guo. He hasn't stepped out of Wudang for ten years and has devoted himself to practicing Taoism. If it weren't for our good relationship, Brother Wuwei wouldn't have left Wudang to help."

Liu Chong nodded and said: "Master Wuwei is polite, but I wonder if Master Wuwei knows the situation of the battle?"

"Pindao can pinch and count, and he already knows it. Zong Xin is indeed a good player. He won [-] against [-], which is very admirable." Wuwei said: "But then again, Zong Xin will win again." No matter how powerful, [-] is still [-], there is no need to play tricks with him, just attack directly. Foolish people in the world will always find troubles for themselves and let others take advantage of it."

"Okay, Taoist priest is really powerful, and I thought of something with you." These few words really touched Liu Chong's heart. No matter how powerful Zong Xin is, no matter how good his military skills are, facing the absolute superiority in numbers, Unless Zong Xin practiced the so-called "spreading beans into soldiers", no matter how sophisticated the strategy is, as long as he doesn't follow him, Zong Xin will have no choice.This time it was a siege, Zong Xin couldn't play tricks at first, the failure last time was all due to himself being too timid and too afraid of Zong Xin's ability.
