Chapter 89 Tianhong
The troops are ready to rest and recuperate.
It was December.
The wind became stronger and stronger, and sleet and snow began to drift from the sky. When it dripped on people, they were just like specks of mud.
It's been raining and snowing for four days in a row, and it still hasn't cleared up today.
Although he used Soul Soul, Tuoba Bao didn't have the method to shape the Yin Corpse, and Tu Shanjun looked down on his superficial skills, but the Soul Soul was somewhat useful after he entered the level.
Wen Yue has been practicing step by step these days.
Because of the collection of Yinhun ghosts, hundreds of Yinhun Dando were condensed.
Three or even four Yin Soul Pills can be swallowed together a day.
After all, Wen Yue was at the fourth level of Qi training, and was far stronger than Li Qingfeng who had swallowed the Yin Soul Pill at the second level of Qi training.
The absorption of the Yin Soul Pill is also more complete, and his body and mana are enough to support him in absorbing the Yin Soul Pill.
It's just that his innate aptitude is really not good, even worse than that of Li Qingfeng with Five Spiritual Roots.
Therefore, the conversion of mana is relatively slow.
Although Wen Yue was able to achieve a visible increase, it still seemed slow in comparison.
The effect of a dozen Yin Soul Pills was not significant, but they forced Wen Yue to move forward a long way.
This is the problem of insufficient innate qualifications. If there is no Yinhun Dan, Wen Yue may only be able to stop at the fourth level of Qi training for the rest of his life, and it will be difficult to make any progress.
"Lord Taishan, what about my last proposal?"
Because he was afraid of leaking the news, Wen Yue only told An Nanbo the news about Wei Jun that he had pried out from Tuoba Bao's mouth.
And also proposed a bold plan.
An Nanbo held up his sleeves and said, "My dear son-in-law, the time of heaven is with us. But this matter may harm the peace of heaven and earth. Otherwise, let me go, right?"
An Nanbo's eyes were very sincere, and they were all for Wen Yue's sake.
Wen Yue also understood that his father-in-law was not trying to take credit, but was actually thinking about him.
But he wanted to lead his own troops to complete this matter.
He had a hunch that if he could experience this, it would be the best training for him.
"Master Taishan, I want to go." Wen Yue's eyes were firm.
Burning in his eyes is the desire to win.
An Nanbo suddenly saw the shadow of his own youth in Wen Yue. Just as when he was fighting chaos in the south, his most desire was victory. Wen Yue now is exactly the same as he was then.
If you ask him, does he regret putting an end to the chaos?
Annan had this thought, but only he knew whether he truly regretted it or not.
"good!"
Wen Yue pondered and said: "Can you ask the coach for an order?"
"Geng Lie is a man as violent as fire, but he is also capricious at critical moments. It would be bad if he knew about this."
After working with him for a long time, Ann Bo had figured out this person's temperament.
This man, like the scholar-bureaucrats in the court, is a fool who is ready to fight when his head is hot.
When he was about to send troops, he regretted it and hesitated.
But Geng Lie is the coach after all, and he needs to be informed about this matter. If it doesn't work, there is still a way.
…
"What if the information is inaccurate and it's an ambush?"
"This matter is non-negotiable."
Sure enough, he didn't know what kind of mentality Geng Lie was in, so he rejected Annan Bo's proposal.
Perhaps he had already begun to dislike Wen Yue from the day he stood in shame on the tower.
He even disliked Annan.
It is possible that earlier, when he was in the court and was a civil servant, he naturally rejected military commanders.
Seeing Wen Yue perform meritorious service was even more uncomfortable than being criticized and punished.
Wen Yue's face immediately became solemn. Once this good opportunity is missed, it will never come again. If he can succeed, the Northern Wei's construction on the border will be in vain.
"The last general invites you to fight!"
"No." Geng Lie was furious and stood up.
"The last general is a vanguard officer. He has the authority to command three thousand troops, but he cannot mobilize troops without the command of the commander-in-chief."
Geng Lie was filled with anger and glared at Wen Yue: "Try mixing one!"
"snort."
Wen Yue snorted coldly and walked away directly.
He is bound to win this battle and no one can stop him.
The reason for notifying Geng Lie in advance was to give Geng Lie the face of the coach.
Ever since he came back after defeating Tuoba Bao, this man's nose was not a nose, and his face was not a face. He obviously came in front of Geng Lie with Tuoba Bao's head, but he was ostracized everywhere.
Although the veterans didn't say much, they distanced themselves from him.
Why?
Is it possible to just stay inside the wall for the rest of your life and never come out?
He didn't want to just retreat for three years and return to Liangdu.
Geng Lie pointed at Wen Yue's back angrily, said nothing for a long time, and swept away the porcelain on the table with a slap.
He kicked the stool down hard and said angrily: "It's the other way around!"
An Nanbo sat there calmly. He knew the result in advance, and he was still sitting here just to stabilize Geng Lie and buy time for Wen Yue.
If what Wen Yue said is true, this battle is really likely to change the situation.
Three thousand light cavalry, wearing only cotton armor and carrying horseshoes and shovels on their backs, broke out of Tongguan City Gate.
"Didn't you hear there was an order?"
"Don't worry about it, that's General Wen, the vanguard." The guard guarding the city looked at him with reverence.
So many generals suffered defeats, but General Wen was the only one who beheaded the enemy and defeated Qingqi, which can be called a great victory. As Tongguan gatekeepers, how could they not feel happy?
Not to mention them, the people in Tongguan were even happier.
Finally a general who can fight has arrived.
The road in the rain, sleet, and snow is not easy for a light rider.
Fortunately, the horses' hooves are wrapped in coarse cloth to reduce slipping.
They had to rush two hundred miles away before dawn.
Originally there were two cavalry per man, but after capturing Tuoba Bao's troops, Wen Yue's cavalry was able to do three cavalry per man.
Two hundred miles, and traveling lightly, there is no need for a third rider, just swap two riders.
Feihongjian is close to Luohe River.
Although the flood season in Luohe River has passed, the water level has risen a lot due to the continuous rain and snow.
This is the time of heaven.
In June and July, there is absolutely no way to leave Feihongjian, but in December, the river water level drops and the Feihongjian road is no longer used, leaving large tidal flats and open spaces, which are very suitable for camping.
The main army of the Northern Wei Dynasty was stationed in Feihong Stream.
Wen Yue let out a sigh of relief.
Along the way, he eliminated many Northern Wei scouts, most of whom were killed in one blow, and the information was tightly sealed.
As expected, Tuoba Hong also stationed soldiers in Luohe, but unfortunately the soldiers were limited.
They never expected that someone would lead a cavalry raid in heavy snow.
Kill thousands of enemies in one bloody battle.
"Dig the river!"
Following Wen Yue's order, the remaining two thousand cavalrymen began to dig the river channel using shovels.
There seems to be a glimmer of light on the horizon.
More than two thousand people dug for two hours.
Today's river channels only need the slightest touch to completely collapse.
…
The bloody soldier fell in front of the camp and shouted: "I want to see the commander!"
The soldiers did not dare to neglect and hurriedly carried him to the commander's tent.
Tuoba Hong inside the tent is studying the sand table.
According to the current level of sleet and snow, if the water level rises again in seven days, the ship will be able to go down the Luo River, cross Tongguan, and strangle the grain road behind Tongguan.
Without food, even the strongest city will collapse.
He had been preparing for this battle for a long time, just waiting for a day when rain would cause the river water level to rise.
The Imperial Master has said that this is an opportunity not to be missed.
So he chose Feihongjian.
This information is top secret.
"Report——!"
"Commander."
"What happened?" Tuoba Hong frowned and looked at the exhausted soldiers who were carried in.
"Luohe...is lost."
The soldier has taken in more air and less out.
Tuoba Hong opened his eyes suddenly, his pupils narrowed, and he hurriedly ran out of the tent and looked towards the mountains of Feihong Stream.
Three thousand thunders shook.
It was like a giant beast roaring like an angry dragon.
"It's over!"
Tuoba Hong lost all hope.
The words just fell.
The flood is close at hand.
