Chapter 2246 Zhang Wenyuan VS Fu Cunshen

Chapter 2242: Zhang Wenyuan VS Fu Cunshen

Sun Lingming came all the way from where he came just to fight Kong Peng, so this battle was inevitable.

But Kong Peng is not alone. In addition to the support of the Tang army, he also has two extremely powerful sworn brothers, Wang Shi and Wang Xiang.

When they attacked Fenglingdu for the first time, Lu Bu and Kong Peng fought for a day and a night. When Kong Peng was entangled by Lu Bu and was unable to do anything, it was Wang Shi and Wang Xiang who disrupted the Qin army's deployment.

Kong Peng was entangled by Lu Bu. Zhang Liao would not let go of such a good opportunity, so he personally led Ren Bihe, Ying Hua and other generals to participate in the attack, but he did not expect to be defeated by Wang Shi and Wang Xiang.

 Zhang Liao and Ying Hua joined forces, but were still defeated by Wang Shi, and Ren Bi was also defeated by Wang Xiang.

If Wang Shi didn't recognize Zhang Liao, and Zhang Liao was wearing a mask, Zhang Liao might have died in the battle.

After Zhang Liao and others were defeated, soldiers alone could not defeat Wang Shi and Wang Xiang. The two men disrupted the attacking Qin army's formation, which allowed the Tang army to defend Fenglingdu.

Therefore, if you want to seize Fenglingdu, Kong Peng is only the biggest obstacle, and the harm of Wang Shi and Wang Xiang is also not small, and the three of them must be dealt with life and death.

 The first failure was because he did not understand the opponent at all. Zhang Liao, who had suffered a loss once, would not suffer again, so he was extremely cautious about the next arrangements.

Now that Kong Peng has Sun Lingming to deal with him, Zhang Liao only needs to think of candidates to deal with Wang Shi and Wang Xiang, and prevent these two people from intervening in the battle between Sun Lingming and Kong Peng.

Although Lu Bu was defeated by Kong Peng and was injured, the injury was not too serious and he could still participate in the battle. If he took action, he could contain any of the kings, lions, kings and elephants.

As for the other lion and elephant, Zhang Liao decided to leave it to Arthur to deal with.

As the first female general of the Qin Army, Arthur's strength is obvious to all and is unfathomable. She has never fully exerted her strength so far. It is not a problem for her to deal with one of them.

Arthur was still staying at Hangu Pass, and the army at Hangu Pass was under Zhang Liao's command, so Zhang Liao directly ordered Arthur to be transferred over before asking for help from Luoyang.

Arthur arrived before Sun Lingming, and when Sun Lingming arrived, Zhang Liao had already made all the preparations.

“According to reliable information, the 10,000 reinforcements led by Yu Wentai, the governor of Zuo Fenling, will arrive at Fenglingdu in two days at most.”

In the Chinese army's tent, Zhang Liao pointed at the map and said solemnly: "Once these ten thousand troops are allowed to garrison Fenglingdu, it will be more difficult to capture Fenglingdu, so Fenglingdu must be captured within two days. "

Sun Lingming, Lu Bu, Arthur, Ren Bi, Ying Hua, Cao Xing, Hao Meng and other generals all said in unison: "Promise."

Early the next morning, under the leadership of Zhang Liao, the three armies of the Qin army moved together and headed towards Fenglingdu with great momentum.

It was the Eleventh Dragon Hidden Moon, the temperature in Guanzhong dropped sharply, and the cold wind froze the Yellow River without even snowfall.

The Yellow River is frozen, making it impossible for boats to move, but people can walk on it, but this is not a good thing for the Qin army.

If the Yellow River had not frozen, the Qin army could have transported soldiers by boat, which would be faster and more convenient.

 But once it freezes, you can only walk across the ice, which undoubtedly limits the number of people who can cross the river.

The ice on the Yellow River is not too thick. Once the number of people increases, the ice is likely to crack. Therefore, the Qin army must control the number of people crossing the river and spread out. After the last failure, Zhang Liao has concluded that the number of people who can withstand the ice layer is about 5,000. Any more will be unable to withstand it and break. Therefore, the Qin army's initial attack lineup this time is 4,000.

 In the cold wind, Sun Lingming, Lu Bu, Arthur and other generals led four thousand elites in formation on the east bank of the Yellow River, quietly waiting for Zhang Liao's military orders in the lingering cold wind.

Due to the sudden drop in temperature, the Qin army also made an emergency change of clothes and sent all the cotton-padded clothes sealed in the warehouse to the front line.

 Zhang Liao's department was the closest to Luoyang and was the fastest to receive cotton-padded clothes, followed by Li Jing's department.

As for Huo Qubing and Wei Qing's troops who were far away in Liangzhou, they had already prepared cotton-padded clothes before sending out troops. After all, they would definitely spend the winter in Guanzhong this time. Without cotton-padded clothes, they would freeze to death. How could they compete with the Tang army? Fight.

Nowadays, there are not a few princes who can fight in winter. In addition to Qin, wealthy countries such as Tang, Chu, Shu, Wu, Song, etc. also have the ability to fight in winter. However, it is impossible to have the financial resources of the Qin army to allow twenty Tens of thousands of troops wore cotton-padded clothes.

As for poor countries like the Wei and Sui Dynasties, they lacked food and ammunition when fighting in the summer, so they naturally did not have the ability to fight in the winter. After all, the price of cotton clothes is not cheap.

The Qin army had no shortage of cotton-padded clothes, so the four thousand elite troops by the Yellow River all wore cotton-padded clothes, armor, and cotton boots.

This configuration alone looks much bulkier than before, and their mobility is a little slower, but this does not hinder their combat effectiveness.

“General Zhang, why don’t you attack yet?” Sun Lingming asked impatiently.

Zhang Liao looked upstream and said calmly: "There's no rush, we're waiting."

Sun Lingming was impatient. Hearing this, he became even more anxious and said: "What are you waiting for? If we wait like this in such a cold weather, it will affect the combat effectiveness of the soldiers."

"Why are you so anxious? There will be a fight with you soon. Wenyuan must have a reason to do this." Lu Bu snorted coldly.

As soon as he finished speaking, spies came to report.

"Report...to the general. As expected by the general, the upper reaches of the Yellow River have not yet frozen, and have been cut off and stockpiled by the Tang army. The hundreds of Tang troops currently left in the upper reaches have been killed and dispersed by General Hao Meng's army."

"What?"

Sun Lingming, Arthur, Lu Bu and other generals all exclaimed, with shock in their eyes.

The upper reaches of the Yellow River have not yet frozen, but the water has been blocked by the Tang army. The purpose is self-evident, and it must be to flood the Qin army downstream.

Just a few days of water storage will not cause a big flood. Naturally, it will not be able to flood all the Qin troops on the east bank. However, if the embankments are breached and the water is released during the Qin army's attack, the four thousand soldiers who attacked will definitely be gone and never return. .

At this thought, Sun Lingming, Lu Bu and Arthur and other generals were dripping with cold sweat, secretly thinking: It's so dangerous, so dangerous.

Once the Qin army attacks, other generals will not care about it for the time being, but Sun Lingming, Lu Bu and Arthur will definitely have to cross the river.

When the flood comes, although it is impossible to drown the three of them, all the soldiers will definitely be washed away. Will the three of them be required to fight the Tang Dynasty's army alone?

"This Fu Cun Shen is really difficult to deal with. He actually plans to use a water attack strategy to deal with our army. If Wen Yuan hadn't been cautious, I would have been in danger this time."

Lu Bu said with a frightened look. After all, he was still injured. If he was isolated on the other side of the river, even he would not be completely sure of escaping unscathed.
