Chapter 304 Eight years of great cause
Tongding City.
Yu Wen and Tiantian sent people to stare at Luo Cheng's military camp and finally waited for the envoy from Zhuo County.
"Let this damn man spend a few days with the Tiger Ya Lang General. It's worth it if you're happy again." Yu Wenhua and his glass were holding a wine glass, drunk, but his eyes were shining.
He Yu Wenhua and his life suffered two great losses. Once, a few years ago, when the emperor was visiting the border with the Turks, he was discovered by the emperor and was demoted to himself as a slave. All the officials and titles were beaten, and even his life was almost gone. He was slapped twice by the emperor.
In addition, this time, he was beaten by Luo Cheng's subordinates outside Tongding City, and he was beaten in front of so many people.
The emperor slapped him twice, and he could only hold a grudge in his heart and dare not speak out. But what is Luo Cheng's thing? He is just a compliment to him as his adopted son, and he dares to insult him like this?
A country house man dares to bully his noble son?
If ordinary people dared to offend him like this, he would have ordered his subordinates to rush over and beat him to death. But Luo Cheng was still a foul and hard bone.
In this place where birds do not shit, his name as a frivolous young man is useless. Although there are three thousand soldiers under his command, the thief has six thousand elite soldiers, not to mention that Li Jing and Luo Yi are also helping him, and even Song Laosheng doesn't buy his account.
But now I finally feel relieved.
Drinking a sip of fine wine will make you feel unspeakable.
For two consecutive days, Yu Wenhua and his drinking carnival.
Li Jiancheng came in with his arms hanging from his face.
"What's wrong, Dalang?"
"Have you not heard of the county magistrate yet? Luo Yi and Li Jing each sent two thousand soldiers to Luo Cheng. Now Luo Cheng has 12,000 soldiers under his command and 8,000 auxiliary soldiers."
"Is there such a thing?"
Yu Wengji sat upright all of a sudden, and he wiped his eyes, "What the hell is going on?"
"What else can happen? Luo Yi said Luo Cheng was his heir, Li Jing said Luo Cheng was his disciple, so the two of them naturally had to help, so they each drew two thousand war soldiers to Luo Cheng. Luo Yi even drew one hundred of his most elite Yan Yun heavy cavalry to Luo Cheng. Li Jing also sent two generals Feng Xiaoci and Hou Mo Chenyi to Luo Cheng's army, and Luo Yi also sent two powerful generals Murong Changsheng and Yuchi Liang."
Yu Wen and his face suddenly turned dark, and he had no idea what to do.
"These two damn old guys are too much."
He forgot about the dispute between him and Luo Cheng and knew that he would ask his father Yuwen Shu for help. How could Luo Yi and Li Jing sit on the scene?
"I didn't expect that Luo Cheng is a dog thief now, but now he is strong. Dalang, will he not die if he brings these 12,000 war soldiers across the river?"
Li Jiancheng was also unhappy.
He didn't think about Luo Cheng that much, but he didn't like Luo Cheng's arrogant look.
"It depends on the situation. If Luo Cheng was ordered to cross the river and then swam without attacking, it would not be impossible for him to stay there for two or three months."
"Damn it." Yu Wengji cursed, he didn't expect that there was still a possibility.
"No, I have to send a letter to my father and ask Luo Cheng to lead his troops to capture one or two cities. Which one is better? Or let's just take the Xincheng. It is said that there are more than 10,000 troops in Xincheng, and Luo Cheng has surrounded the strong city of Xincheng, and it will definitely not be able to defeat him. At that time, he will have to lose his troops and generals under the city. It is best to let the Goguryeo people encircle and annihilate the city." Yu Wenhe gritted his teeth.
The eight years of Daye arrived in a heavy snowfall.
The Liao River has long been frozen, and a heavy snow has turned the glacier into a winding snow dragon.
On the morning of the first day of the first lunar month of the eighth year of Daye, Luo Cheng led his vanguard army to 10,000 combat soldiers and 8,000 auxiliary soldiers to swear to send troops.
Wearing the seal of the general of the Liao vanguard, riding the imperially-given BMW, wearing Shangfang armor, and holding Shangfang spear.
Kan Ling held high the flag of the vanguard of the Liao Dynasty.
Twenty thousand men set out in a mighty manner.
Three thousand people in the front wing opened the way, six thousand people in the middle wing protected eight thousand baggage troops in the middle, and three thousand infantrymen in the back wing.
Li Jing and Luo Yi both came to see him off.
"It's not a good day to send troops." Luo Yi frowned.
Li Jing looked at this powerful general he had cultivated. "The day he sent troops was appointed by the emperor, and Luo Cheng had no choice either. Fortunately, he had sufficient soldiers and food, and the river was frozen, so it was okay to cross the river. After crossing the river, he was afraid that the troops would be difficult to move."
He deliberately said a few words to Luo Yi, which could be regarded as resolving the gap between the two over the years. However, Luo Yi just snorted and left with a cloak.
Li Jing was so angry that he was shaking his beard, and the handsome old man almost wanted to draw a knife to kill the madman.
The army passed by the city of Tongding.
Yu Wenhe specially put a charcoal basin on the city gate tower, surrounded the screen and drank the curtains, enjoying the snow while drinking, and taking a look at Luo Cheng's troops who were marching hard in the heavy snow.
But what disappointed him was that the army was moving in the snow, and did not show any low morale or lack of mobility. On the contrary, they actually moved quickly.
"Well, what are those things? How do you slide on the snow?"
Li Jiancheng narrowed his eyes and looked at it, but he didn't understand what it was.
In Liaodong in the first month, there is snow everywhere.
There was thick white snow on the ground. With one foot down, it might be knee-deep snow, which was extremely inconvenient to walk. Even the horses were difficult to walk. Luo Cheng set out with 20,000 people and horses, and had to bring arms and food and grass. It would be very difficult to come.
But what Yu Culture and what he saw was that these people were moving very easily.
"What are those things? Why do you seem to be able to slide on the snow?"
Yu Wenhe didn't understand what those were, but in fact those were just sleds and sleds made by Luo Cheng.
The soldiers were wearing simple sleds made of wooden boards and ski poles in their hands. Although they were carrying heavy things on their backs and were wearing thick winter clothes, they were very convenient to walk on the thick snow in this sled, and they would never step into a big hole again.
The infantry riding horses and pack horses were hung with one or two or three sleds behind them. The short sledges were loaded with supplies and arms, and they also slid on the snow easily, and the horses did not receive much force at all.
In addition, the soldiers, horses, and sleds were covered with white cloaks and white cloth. From a distance, they were actually integrated with the heaven and earth. If you don’t look carefully, you can’t see it.
It was precisely because of these sleds and sleds that Luo Cheng only brought eight thousand auxiliary soldiers, and even the civilians did not bring them. The reduction of tens of thousands of civilians to accompany the army not only did not increase the burden of 20,000 auxiliary soldiers, but was easier than usual.
The fourth brother sat on a large sled. There was a canopy outside, and there was a small stove inside. He stayed inside without being beaten by the wind and snow. He could also enjoy the warmth of the stove and even take time to take a nap.
"This thing is really cool. It greatly increases our capacity to carry baggage and food. We use at least 20,000 people less, but we can still carry so much baggage and food. And bringing 20,000 people less, saving a lot of food for the people, so that the food we carry can last longer."
Luo Cheng lay there without opening his eyes and said, "Not only did it, but it greatly increased our marching speed. It turns out that in such a snowy marching, the army could not travel for forty miles a day, and it was still tired and tired. But now, a hundred miles a day is not a problem, it is still very easy, and I have the spare energy to fight again."
