The 12th day of the seventh month in the first year of King Han of the Shu Han Dynasty.
The war in Caishiji has been burning for four days, and the soil outside Nanchen Yingzhai has been dyed deep red. It is the color of blood mixed with soil.
Chen Shuying sat in the big tent, looking at the battle report in front of him, silently.
Just this morning, Pei Zilie arrived at the city of Wuhu. The Shu Han Navy had already deployed ships to cooperate with the siege. Wuhu was close to the river and was supported by naval warships. Pei Zilie successively conquered Dangtu (today's Nanling) and Wanling's armies. Wuhu was no match for the enemy.
It is a small city. Although Chen Shuying has hoarded a lot of food and grass in the city and there are many defenders, it is estimated that it will not be able to sustain it for long.
After all, the battle reports of Wanling and Dangtu were there. The Shu Han army first bombarded them with thunderbolt chariots, and then charged with ladder chariots. The large groups of soldiers rushed to the top of the city or the gaps in the city. It was as if they were walking on flat ground. This kind of thing had never been thought of before.
The tactics he thought of were obviously not something a small county like Wuhu could afford.
Chen Shuying could only hope that he would not see Pei Zilie's army tomorrow morning.
Of course, not seeing Pei Zilie was the next best thing, and the Caishiji battlefield in front of him could no longer hold up. Han Qinhu captured the hillsides on both sides and began to attack the main stronghold from a high position. There were even large groups of troops that detoured back to the main stronghold.
At the rear, if Chen Shuying hadn't decisively sent troops to stop them, they might have been surrounded by now.
What's more important is that the trench dug by Huang Wan's troops has crossed the second line of defense, and is only twenty or thirty feet away from the third line of defense, which is the trench outside the Nanchen army camp. Obviously, the Shu Han army
They are also ready to charge at any time, and now they are desperately expanding the trench to both sides, so that more people can rush out of the trench at the first time.
It's not that Nanchen's army didn't want to attack, but the previous selected striker died miserably, which caused an irreparable blow to morale. After all, they were recognized as elite veterans in the army, but letting them play did not even have any effect.
Even if it doesn't work, what's the difference between the remaining people rushing out and dying?
Therefore, all the Nanchen army could do was to fire arrows in the trench at the increasingly approaching trench. However, after the Shuhan army entered the range of the Nanchen crossbowmen, they rarely showed their heads and just buried their heads in the trenches.
While digging forward, the excavated soil was raised on both sides of the trench, making it impossible for Nanchen's army to see anything.
The war situation... is irreversible.
This is something that all the Nanchen soldiers inside and outside the camp know very well. If they could stop Han Qinhu once before, can they stop it the next time? Therefore, it is inevitable that the retreat will be cut off on the camp side. When the time comes, the enemy in front will
If we launch an attack, there will be no need to fight this battle.
"Your Highness, please go to Kushu as soon as possible." The most senior general in the camp besides Chen Shuying is General Zhuangwu and Fan Xun, the prefect of Kushu. Fan Xun is Fan Meng's son. The grudge between the Fan family and Li Xunchen
The Fan family and Li Xunchen's Shu-Han were destined to be at odds with each other, so Chen Shuying asked Fan Xun to come and command the troops in Caishiji because of his trust in Fan Xun.
Otherwise, it is logically impossible to hand over Jingkou and Caishiji, the east and west gates of Jiankang Prefecture, into the hands of the Fan family.
Thinking of this, Chen Shuying could only sigh. It had been nearly thirty years since the founding of Nanchen, and in the end, there were only a handful of generals he could trust.
"If I don't leave, Caishiji has not fallen yet!" Chen Shuying said with a frown. He had been prepared to live and die with Caishiji. After all, he had passed Caishiji and headed to Gushu City.
But there is really no danger to defend!
"Your Highness!" Fan Xun couldn't help but Chen Shuying said more, "Your Highness is the hope of our Dachen. If you keep the green mountains here, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. If Your Highness dies in battle here, Southern Yuzhou will really not be able to defend it.
Who will be able to preside over the war in Jiankang Mansion at that time! If we are surrounded by enemies, Your Highness will not be able to leave even if he wants to!"
After a pause, Fan Xun waved: "Quickly, take His Highness out of here!"
The guards rushed forward in a hurry, but they did not dare to do anything to Chen Shuying.
Of course, Chen Shuying knew that Fan Xun was doing it for his own good. He sighed deeply and stood up: "This place...is left to you."
Fan Xun solemnly cupped his hands and said, "Subordinate, all I have to do is die!"
"Da Chen, why don't you have more loyal ministers?" Chen Shuying murmured and walked quickly outside the camp.
Outside, the drums are beating!
Li Xingchen once again appeared at the place where he had given orders to Han Qinhu a few days ago, but there was no longer a threat here. The Nanchen garrison no longer had the strength to care about such a far place, and Li Xingchen came here just to get closer.
Watch Huang Wan launch a general attack.
The outcome of this battle was self-evident, so Li Xingchen handed the front to Huang Wan, and at the same time ordered Han Qinhu on the flank to directly intercept the enemy's retreating troops in a roundabout way.
"Kill!" Shouts erupted from the trench at the front in the distance.
The Shu Han soldiers of the brigade jumped out of the trench, and at the same time, the trebuchets and bed crossbows that had pushed forward as far as possible were also firing desperately in order to suppress the enemy. A flag with the word "yellow" waved in the wind, and at the same time there were "
The word "Li" in the flag is undoubtedly telling everyone that the King of Han Li Xingchen is watching behind them.
If they don't fight well, Li Xingchen will personally lead the charge.
On the wall of the Nanchen camp, the general flag with the word "Fan" was also raised. This made Li Xingchen sneer. He had no intention of caring about the Fan family who was always against him. Let these guys who are still in the old days give it to them.
Let Nan Chen die and be buried.
Arrows were shot from the trench of Nanchen camp. Almost half of the charging Shu Han soldiers in the first row fell, but the people behind did not hesitate to attack. The total distance was only twenty or thirty feet, even if it was the enemy's arrow
No matter how fierce the arrow is, it can still pass through!
"Kill!" Huang Wan casually threw away the shield filled with arrows in his hand, jumped directly into the trench of Nanchen's army, and threw two Nanchen soldiers to the ground. The two Nanchen soldiers were both crossbows.
Hands, the enemy's charging speed was obviously beyond their expectations.
Huang Wan raised his sword and cut one person directly, while the other Nanchen soldier didn't even bother to draw out the short sword he was equipped with. He simply picked up the arrow in his hand and stabbed it hard. Huang Wan gave a low shout and was able to hide.
After this, it still left a trace of blood on his face, and the arrow also pierced his arm.
"Beep!" Huang Wan shouted, pulled out the dagger from his waist, and pierced the soldier's chest directly. He kicked the guy away, and Huang Wan looked around in a daze.
In the narrow trench, many Nanchen and Shu Han soldiers rolled together. In such a narrow place, long swords and spears were of course useless. As soon as the two sides met, they started fighting in the most primitive and ferocious way, with short knives, daggers and even fists.
and teeth, most soldiers simply died with their opponents! (To be continued)
