If the Northern Zhou army were allowed to rob the city, then the two thousand or so of them would really have no way forward and no retreat. Unless they plunged headlong into Mianshui River, they would really have no choice but to sit back and wait for death.
Xiao Shilian snorted and drew out his sword: "Afraid? I don't know how to write this word yet!"
Li Xingchen looked at the steady stream of troops heading north. Although the faces of these soldiers still looked tired from long marches, their eyes were full of perseverance. They had witnessed too many victories along the way.
and Miracle, naturally have no doubt that Li Xingchen and Xiao Shilian will lead them to the next victory.
"Don't spread this in advance, so as not to cause panic," Li Xingchen carefully ordered, "Boqing, you lead the vanguard and march directly into the city from the south gate. If the enemy has already rushed into the city first, find a way to attack the city gate. Otherwise, do not do anything.
Come back again."
Xiao Shilian nodded solemnly, turned around and left. He knew very well that the most precious thing now was time, and a cup of tea late might block all hope.
"Chen Zhishen!" Li Xingchen shouted immediately.
"The end is here!"
"You lead a team of soldiers and horses around the west of the city, intercept and kill the barbarian scouts, and try to ensure that the road is as smooth as possible. In addition, send scouts north along the city. If you encounter the enemy's forward or main force, report it quickly." Li Xingchen said in a low voice.
Chen Zhishen hurriedly agreed. Li Xingchen then gave an instruction: "Once Boqing's attack fails, we cannot stay too long outside Zhangshan County. Even if the road is rugged, we must find a way to turn into Jingshan. This is the only way to survive."
, and I am now asking you to keep this way of survival, do you understand the heavy responsibility?"
After shaking his head, Chen Zhishen said solemnly: "I will never disgrace my life!"
Seeing a famous general turn around and leave, with only Li Ping left by his side once again, Li Xingchen took a deep breath.
Since he was a police officer, he has gambled again and again. Fortunately, God has favored him, and he has somewhat grasped the pulse of history, so he succeeded every time.
This time, I hope it will be the same.

"It has nothing to do with you that the Zhang family has not been caught, because the Zhang family should still be in the city now." Xiao Mohe said in a deep voice, "The most important thing is not the Zhang family, but Xiao Kui. As long as Xiao Kui is captured,
At least it can make the soldiers in the city feel uneasy."
Pei Zilie breathed a sigh of relief. The biggest regret and omission in Ji Nan's battle was naturally that he did not find Xiao Kui's original wife. The rest of the concubines were caught alive, and they were not as important as the original wife. Those relatives of the emperor and the country
Everyone had different opinions about Zhang's whereabouts, which made it difficult for Li Xingchen and others to judge at the time.
Now that the Zhang clan is still in the city, it can at least be said that the battle in Ji Nan is complete.
"Why aren't Boqing and Shizhong with you?" Xiao Mohe also discovered the biggest problem at this time, "Are they still behind?"
Pei Zilie hurriedly said: "The last general is about to report this matter. Boqing and Shizhong have already led the rest of the troops north to Zhangshan County, intending to cut off the road from Xiangyang south to Jiangling and buy time to attack Jiangling."
"What?!" Xiao Mohe's face changed slightly, and he immediately walked straight to the map, and his eyes fell on Zhangshan County. He had to admit that the points picked out by these young boys were really tricky. This Zhangshan County guard
The shortest road from Xiangyang to Jiangling, Yuchijiong had to take this route if he wanted to go south.
However, with more than 2,000 people defending an empty city, facing an army that is likely to be ten times their size, what is the difference between this and dying? Xiao Mohe immediately said in a cold voice: "Isn't this nonsense?! Why don't you stop them?
!”
Stop? Pei Zilie looked bitter. With the temperament of Xiao Shilian and Li Xingchen, even if he really wanted to stop it, he couldn't. What's more, Pei Zilie also agreed with this plan, but he didn't catch it when the lot was drawn.
"Shizhong and Bo Qingyan should follow the example of the general and do what the general did when he was galloping on the battlefield. Moreover, Boqing is brave and Shizhong is resourceful. If they work together, they will be able to advance or retreat. The general does not need to worry too much." Pei Zilie said deeply.
He said in a loud voice, "What's more, Zhangshan County is located between Jiangling and Xiangyang. It is a battleground for military strategists. Only by cutting off Zhangshan County can we hinder Yuchi Jiong. Therefore, the general thinks that there is nothing wrong with advancing like this!"
Pei Zilie has always been a person who says what he wants. When he broke out outside Luliang, even though Xiao Mohe was already in charge of the army, Pei Zilie still dared to question him face to face about Wu Mingche's whereabouts. Naturally, he did not hesitate to answer this question now.
Xiao Mohe sighed softly. The behavior of Xiao Shilian and Li Xingchen was very similar to his style back then. Let alone two thousand people, Xiao Mohe still dared to attack the enemy even if there were only a dozen personal guards around him.
The Chinese army was in charge, and this kind of thing was done not once or twice.
The Nanchen army was able to be overwhelming in the early stages of the Battle of Luliang, and was able to successively defeat the Northern Qi defense line and later Yu Wenxin's army, all thanks to Xiao Mohe's bravery.
Now that he was the commander-in-chief, he began to hesitate more. Looking at Pei Zilie, Xiao Mohe nodded: "You rushed here in such a hurry, not only because of the feasibility of Uncle Chen's matter, but also because of the two
It would be too risky to defend an isolated city with a thousand soldiers, so let me allocate another 5,000 soldiers and horses to you first, and then go north lightly to support Zhangshan County."

"Daoyi, it's Daoyi!" On the empty street of Zhangshan County, a Northern Zhou sentry who carefully rode forward to search was the first to discover the enemy who suddenly appeared at the other end of the street. He couldn't help but exclaimed.
Before he could finish his words, an arrow roared towards him and pierced his chest. Several Nanchen scouts emerged from the alley, waved to the main force over there, and then continued running forward.
go.
Zhangshan County is actually not that big. After all, it is just a small county. It cannot be compared with important border defense towns such as Xiangyang and Jiangling. And this Zhangshan County was actually the place where Xi Liang asked the Northern Zhou Dynasty to expand its territory in order to establish a country.
Basically, the land obtained from the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
It's just that Xiliang was originally a small country. In recent years, in order to defend against Nanchen, it has been aggressively militarizing and clearing the country. The entire country has spent all its energy to build a defense line around Jiangling. How can it have time to take care of the surrounding states and counties?
What's more, the Northern Zhou Dynasty would not be so generous. These states and counties may seem to be large places, but in fact they are places that have been ravaged by war. Most of the residents in the city are either going south or north. There are basically only a few people, especially the government warehouses.
It was empty, so after Xiliang took over these states and counties, they regarded them as useless and could only let them be abandoned. There were only a few officials in charge of the city, and the rest of the army and government officials were not served.
