As the chief general, Pei Zilie not only has the responsibility of leading these three thousand soldiers to victory, but also has the responsibility of leading them to victory.
Therefore, Pei Zilie was somewhat worried when faced with Li Xingchen's plan which was just a guess.
Li Xingchen nodded slightly: "Brother Da Shi's worries are not unreasonable, and as mentioned before, even if there is no one on the other side, we still have to face many risks. The deer villages buried in the water and the fences on the shore are definitely not good. What's more, even if Xi Liang really mobilizes the troops that were left behind, there will definitely be a few soldiers left to guard it."
After a pause, Li Xingchen turned around and looked at his two companions for the first time: "Once these defenders are alerted, we will most likely suffer heavy casualties even though we are not familiar with the place."
"Since there are so many considerations, why should we fight? Let's just watch the excitement in Wangbei Village. Anyway, the main force led by Dad and the army under the governor of Jingzhou combined, the number of people is several times greater than that of the Xiliang army. "What difference does it make if there are three thousand of us?" Xiao Shilian said suddenly dissatisfied.
Obviously, in his opinion, Li Xingchen was a little too unreliable.
Li Xingchen spread his hands helplessly: "Boqing, I didn't say we would give up on this."
"Shizhong, what do you mean?" Pei Zilie also spoke at this time.
"Since we have worked so hard to get to Wangbei Village, we naturally cannot watch the fire from across the bank," Li Xingchen said in a deep voice, "Master, I also know that you are not timid, but just because you are afraid of taking these three thousand brothers for no reason. Go in, so the easiest way is for us to divide our troops and advance. Someone will lead the troops, and you will allocate 500 people to someone. Someone will lead them to cross the river first, and find out the situation on the other side, and then you will lead the army to cross the river... ·”
"What if the enemy on the other side is waiting for you?" Pei Zilie suddenly interrupted Li Xingchen.
Li Xingchen smiled nonchalantly and said: "Then you don't want to cross the river. Anyway, General Zuowei or the governor of Jingzhou will reach Jiangling City in a few days. By then, no one will stop you from crossing the river."
Xiao Shilian's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea. Even if there is real danger, we will not fold all the army in. Shizhong, I will follow you with 500 people! That's what we have decided!" "
"No, I don't agree!" Pei Zilie said simply and neatly, "What will happen if the army on the other side does not evacuate? Aren't the six hundred of you like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?! What's the difference between this and dying in vain?!"
The young general's eyes were wide-eyed and veins were bulging on his forehead. He was obviously angry.
Perhaps because they had never seen Pei Zilie so angry before, both Li Xingchen and Xiao Shilian were silent for a moment. But soon Li Xingchen broke the sudden silence on the arrow tower: "Soldiers are also deceitful. Fighting is about the combination of right and wrong. Originally, It means you have to gamble. If you don't even have the courage and determination, then there is no need to fight."
After a pause, Li Xingchen said seriously: "What's more, we are very confident now, so I think this is a plan worth considering and implementing. Once successful, we will be able to become the first army to appear under Jiangling City, and more The important thing is that the defense of Xiliang will definitely be completely chaotic because of this!"
Pei Zilie opened his mouth, but didn't know how to refute. As Li Xingchen said, it would be better for these three thousand people to cross the river than to watch the fire on the other side of Wangbei Village and be at a loss. But this is still too risky after all.
Although dangerous moves have been common in battlefield conquests throughout the ages, and are even the reason why many generals became famous in one battle, this does not mean that all generals are willing to make dangerous moves again and again.
After all, he was gambling with the life of his brother Paoze. Winning was good, but losing often meant the entire army was annihilated.
Pei Zilie's eyes swept over the two people in front of him. Li Xingchen and Xiao Shilian were both young people of flesh and blood, and they were one of the few brothers of Pei Zilie. Pei Zilie could not imagine that he would send them into prison because he agreed to this plan.
How guilty and regretful I will feel when I die.
And after going back like this, he didn't know how to explain it to Xiao Mohe, Wu Mingche, and the people in the East Palace.
"Master, don't say you are scared!" Xiao Shilian laughed and said.
Pei Zilie suddenly raised his head: "No, you two stay on the south bank, and I will lead 600 people across the river. If no news comes, you will always wait here at Wangbei Village, waiting for Jiangling City on the other side to be captured by our own people.
Down!"
Since he didn't want to watch his two good brothers die and had to go this time, the easiest way was to go alone.
"Hahaha, are you kidding!" Xiao Shilian reached out and patted Pei Zilie on the shoulder, "You are our Dianwei general in Nanchen and the commander-in-chief of these three thousand brothers. If you lead the troops across the river, what will happen to the rest of us?"
Brother, who can take the lead and not be afraid of your jokes? I ask myself, but I don’t have this ability!”
"But..." Pei Zilie raised his eyebrows.
At this time, Li Xingchen said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Sir, there will be a certain and Boqing, and everything will be fine. Since we are here, we can't come here in vain."
Pei Zilie wanted to say something else, but Xiao Shilian directly reached out to stop him: "Master, all you have to do now is wait for news about us in Wangbei Village."
Looking at Li Xingchen and Xiao Shilian who turned to go downstairs, Pei Zilie slowly turned around.
I don't know when the fog on the vast river became thicker and thicker.
There seemed to be a giant beast with a bloody mouth on the other side.
——————————————-
Although Wangbei Village is only a small village, it is the camp directly facing Jiangling from Nanchen. However, although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.
Just at the foot of the hillside where the camp is located, there are more than a dozen ferries, large and small, all of which look a bit shabby. They probably came from the riverside villages when Nanchen and Xiliang had just started to confront each other and blocked the river.
confiscated.
Since arriving at Wangbei Village, the three thousand soldiers have not rested all the time. They are all descendants of the Jiangnan water town. It is unrealistic to find big trees to build ships at this time, but bamboo rafts are still possible. There are more than thirty huge ones.
The bamboo rafts have been arranged neatly, waiting for the order to be pushed into the water together with the boats.
"These are just five or six hundred people, which is just right." Xiao Shilian pressed his sword on his hand and walked around the river beach, feeling quite satisfied.
Li Xingchen silently looked at the other side without saying a word. The sky had completely darkened, and the fog shrouding the river was getting heavier and heavier. The originally hazy outline could no longer be seen clearly. Under normal circumstances, it might still be possible.
You can tell how many people there are based on the lights on the other side, but now let alone the lights on the other side, even the lights of Wangbei Village on the hillside not far away can hardly be seen clearly.
