Outside Woye Town.

The sound of war drums filled the sky.

Liu Yong gave an order, and the Yongfeng elite who had traveled a long distance launched an attack.

There were seven or eight thousand of them. When they formed a formation, they were overwhelming. Almost everywhere they could see were filled with their knights. And when they launched an attack, they were like a torrent, sweeping across the sky.

down, submerging everything in their path.

The sound of Zhou people's war drums was even duller.

They used a big drum, and the sound was heavier, and every beat seemed to hit everyone's heart.

Liu Yong sat in the middle position and led the knights to charge.

Liu Taozi's army remained motionless. He looked at the distance between the opponent and his own home, and then began to slowly separate the army, one group at the front and one at the front. The knights in the front row prepared a defense with the cooperation of the sword and shield players.

preparation.

He learned this from Yang Zhong.

When facing the charging knights, as long as the front row can slightly reduce the enemy's speed and resist the first attack, the back row can be used to launch an attack, causing huge casualties.

The heavy cavalry gathered around Liu Taozi, and the steel monsters were ready to counterattack.

At the moment when the two sides encountered each other, the neighing of the war horses surpassed the sound of the war drums.

The horses collided with each other, and the knights screamed. This was the time for Liu Taozi to attack. At this moment, he led the heavy cavalry to charge, and the enemy's charging speed suddenly slowed down.

At this time, the enemy's formation is the most chaotic, and the distance between the front and rear troops is difficult to control. At this time, the front row separates the distance, and the heavy cavalry slams into it, directly driving into the enemy's formation.

What was originally a short-term chaos was prolonged because of this head-on attack. Liu Taozi's purpose was also very clear, to directly capture the enemy's general.

Liu Yong's operation was extremely rough, but he was not afraid. The moment the enemy attacked, he changed his position and kept moving back.

He had long heard of Liu Taozi's reputation for bravery.

And whether it is the Great Zhou Dynasty or the Puppet Qi Dynasty, there is no shortage of such fierce generals.

Especially in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yang Zhong could lead fifty men to charge into battle, and Hou Mo and Chen Zong dared to lead a few cavalry to attack the city.

They all relied on their own bravery and beheaded directly to win.

Liu Yong thinks he is not such a ruthless opponent, but the soldiers under his command are many and fierce. These are elites, they are large in number, and they have the advantage of fighting in the local area. How can they be afraid of you?

As long as I stand far enough back, wouldn't it be fine if I don't let you hit me?

But when the general stood behind the scenes, his observation of the situation and the issuance of orders were not so clear.

Liu Taozi repeatedly charged into the formation, tearing apart the enemy's defense line again and again. When the enemy's offensive began to weaken and even began to retreat, Kou Liu led more than a hundred elite cavalry from the rear army to attack the opponent from the left wing and began to cut through the formation.

Although there were many Zhou people, the enemy could not be seen in front or behind, and the inside of the formation was beaten into a mess by the bandits. They collided with each other. Liu Yong himself did not even react. The Zhou people on the front line had already begun to collapse.

Liu Yong was shocked. Instead of trying to distance himself and fight again, he sent the rear army forward and urged them to urge the front army to continue charging and not to retreat!

At this time, the Zhou soldiers were completely in chaos. After the chaos, there was a great rout.

Liu Yong himself didn't even understand what was going on. As he was fighting, his family members suddenly began to run away. Liu Taozi led the troops to kill, and the people of the Zhou Dynasty fled in all directions. Liu Yong immediately joined the fleeing ranks, and he stared at

He rounded his eyes and cursed angrily: "It was Hou Mochen's old general who harmed me!!!"

After the defeat, the war did not end. The Qi people were chasing and killing everywhere. The killings started, and the Zhou people wailed everywhere.

It wasn't until the sky turned dark that the Qi people stopped their pursuit. The entire land was once again covered with corpses from both sides, with Zhou people having the most corpses.

These most elite troops, under chaotic and incompetent command, suffered another disastrous defeat.

Liu Taozi took the opportunity to gather his troops and quickly attacked Yongfeng.

The pigeon flew over the jungle in front of it, waved its wings slightly, and raised its position again. It passed through the city wall and arrived exactly outside the school grounds. The speed became slower and slower, and finally it

fell into the hands of the samurai.

The warriors untied the letter from the pigeon's feet and hurriedly sent it to the clerk.

Jade City.

Although it has not yet entered the cold winter, the official office looks a bit desolate.

Wei Xiaokuan was wrapped in thick clothes and sat in front of several civil servants.

The officials took out letters and explained the situation in various places one by one.

At this moment, someone suddenly walked in, walking in a hurry. The scribe saluted Wei Xiaokuan, then quickly took out the document and said tremblingly: "General, it's not good, Liu Taozi defeated Liu Yong in the fertile field."

, Liu Yong had already captured Yongfeng Town and escaped, and several garrison towns around Yongfeng began to evacuate."

At this moment, Wei Xiaokuan's face suddenly turned red. With quick hands and quick eyes, he almost snatched the letter from the other party's hand.

He looked down for a moment, his lips turned white, and the hand holding the document began to shake.

He slowly put away the documents and slowly looked at his confidant in front of him.

"Since ancient times, wars in the world have not depended on the generals, but on the kings."

"If the king is wise, the war will go smoothly; if the king is stupid, the war will be defeated."

"As soon as Liang Guogong died, the destruction of puppet Qi died with him."

"To destroy the puppet Qi, we must divide our troops into two groups, entangle the opponent's northern troops all the way, and take one directly to Luozhou, so that the enemy cannot be connected in series. Sui Guogong can attack from the north, but without Liang Guogong in the south, who can

What’s the role?!”

Everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to answer.

Wei Xiaokuan raised his head sadly and sighed again.

"It's a pity that I couldn't kill Liu Taozi at the beginning, but now I have no chance anymore. The situation has become a success. In the other dynasty, Gao Jun is in charge, Liu Taozi is in the north, and now he has obtained Yongfeng. From now on,

He will definitely take Yongfeng as his base, send troops everywhere, and continuously expand the territory he occupies. When the time comes, it will not be us attacking on two fronts, but the enemy will attack us on two fronts."

Wei Xiaokuan forced himself to calm down again.

"Bring me a pen and paper."

"We must defeat Liu Taozi. Yongfeng cannot fall into Liu Taozi's hands, otherwise we will all become his prisoners sooner or later!!"

"Even if it costs 100,000 people, we have to get Yongfeng back. We have to get it back."

Wei Xiaokuan immediately buried his head and began to write. The clerk looked at him quietly. Wei Xiaokuan's hand holding the pen was shaking as he wrote, his expression became more and more sad, and he wrote faster and faster.

When Yang Zhong besieged Jinyang, he was really happy, but in a moment, the situation changed drastically. Gao Jun took Gao Zhan hostage, and Liu Taozi captured Yongfeng.

Over and over again, it turned out to be a massive hemorrhage.

Of course, this time the enemy's north suffered great destruction and its economic capacity was greatly weakened, but this cannot make up for the loss of Yongfeng!

Wei Xiaokuan buried his head and wrote out a few strategies that should be implemented at the moment.

The first is to recapture Yongfeng with all our strength at all costs. At present, the enemy has no strength to counterattack. The only ones who can control Yongfeng are Liu Taozi and those under his command. As long as he sends a general who can lead an army to attack, Liu Taozi will have to eat them.

spit it out.

The second is to focus on Yongfeng and change the previous offensive style. We must focus on Liu Taozi and suppress Liu Taozi's development with all our strength. We must send troops from time to time to plunder his territory and destroy his farmland. We must not

Let him develop the rear with peace of mind.

The third item is to stop the plan to attack the puppet Qi with a large army next year, rest and recuperate, and first focus on the south to hoard food and troops.

Wei Xiaokuan finished writing this, and then wrote his name sadly, even in a pleading tone.

He then handed the letter to the scribe beside him and said, "Send it to Chang'an for me."

The scribe left quickly.

Wei Xiaokuan just looked at everyone, "Gao Jun will probably support the young master to control the government. I need a helper from Yecheng."

"Send all the people from all over the Qing capital to Yecheng and let them do their best to find out the current situation of the enemy. Gao Jun must not be allowed to control the puppet Qi government."

"Gao Jun. Liu Taozi."

"If these two people join forces, the Great Zhou Dynasty will be in danger."

Chang'an.

The Duke's Mansion of Jin State.

Yu Wenhu sat in the upper position, and his confidants sat below. They all lowered their heads at this moment and did not dare to speak.

When the news of the defeat on the front line came, those people who were still clamoring for the destruction of the Puppet Qi suddenly became calm.

Yu Wenhu frowned, his expression quite ugly.

"Liu Yong is a veteran general, and he is the commander of Yongfeng's elite. How could he lose to Liu Taozi so easily?"

Yu Wenyuan said at this moment: "The Duke of Jin lost this battle because Liu Yong underestimated the enemy and was not worthy of his great responsibility. I told you before that he could not go to the frontier, but you didn't listen."

"Now there can be no further delay. Yongfeng cannot fall into the hands of the enemy! I am willing to lead the troops to attack!"

"Please give the order quickly!"

Hearing Yu Wenyuan's words, Chief Protector Yu Wen sighed, "I should have listened to you from the beginning. The loss of Yongfeng is indeed my fault."

The ministers hurriedly apologized, but Yuwenhu shook his head and asked: "Then how can we recapture Yongfeng?"
