Chapter two hundred and thirty eight faint thunder
The Nanchen army currently under Jiangling City is not large enough to begin with, and Jiangling City is well-known as a fortified city, and there are long-established veterans like Lu Teng stationed in the city. Even if Xiao Mohe and others are like this day and night,
Despite the siege, Jiangling still has no intention of wavering.
Therefore, for Nanchen, it can be said that every soldier is precious. Now that Xiao Maha has deployed 5,000 troops, it means that the army attacking Nanchen will lose a lot of strength. It is estimated that Jiangling City will be even more difficult.
capture······
Although Pei Zilie knew how much reinforcements were needed in Zhangshan County, he knew better what the purpose of Li Xingchen and Xiao Shilian's march north was to stop Yuchi Jong so that Xiao Maha could step up his attack on Jiangling City. But if they were to act like this now, would it be possible?
Will you give up the good and chase the bad?
After all, the best way to solve Zhangshan County's dilemma is to capture Jiangling!
Xiao Mohe turned around and stretched out his hand to lift the curtain of the camp, pouting at the Jiangling City that was making loud noises of murder outside: "Do you think that Jiangling City can be taken down in a day and a half, even if Xiao Kui has already fallen to us?
In your hand?"
Pei Zilie suddenly took a deep breath.
Throughout the ages, it is impossible to capture a fortified city in just a few days when there are sufficient soldiers and a large amount of food and grass. During the Wuhu rebellion in China, the Huns moving from the north to the south attacked Luoyang again and again.
Dunbing the city, in the end they had no choice but to adopt the strategy of encirclement by a large army. It took several years to sweep the granary cities around Luoyang, forcing Luoyang to run out of food and water, and had to organize a breakout. Only then did Luoyang fall into the hands of the Xiongnu Liu family.
Although the Jiangling City in front of us now is not as good as Luoyang, which was the capital of the country at that time, it is not far behind. What's more, Lu Teng, who is in charge of the city, has been the general manager of Jiangling for many years and knows this city well.
The difficulty of the attack should be increased a bit.
Once Yuchi Jiong's reinforcements reach the outskirts of Jiangling, it will undoubtedly boost the morale of the defenders. It will probably be even more difficult to capture Jiangling City by then, and with Lu Teng's ability, he will definitely look for opportunities to break out.
, once the city and the outside were attacked from both sides, Xiao Mohe really had no confidence that he would be able to stop it.
Especially now, Lu Guangda in the south of the city is okay. Fan Yi in the west of the city will most likely not listen to Xiao Mohe's orders. Maybe he will be happy to see Xiao Mohe and Yuchijiong fight, so that he can take the lead in charging.
The certainty of entering Jiangling City is a few percent better.
Therefore, Xiao Mohe handed over these 5,000 troops to Pei Zilie, obviously not because he wanted Pei Zilie to simply rescue him, but because he needed Pei Zilie and Li Xingchen to work together to use the combined 7,000 troops to defend Zhangshan County until the fall of Jiangling City.
into the hands of Nan Chen.
Before, Xiao Mohe had to worry about the trouble caused by Xiangyang's reinforcements, but now that Zhangshan County has fallen into his own hands, there is no reason to spit it out anymore.
Pei Zilie nodded solemnly. He knew very well that his departure might mean that there would be no more reinforcements from Zhangshan County, and it was unclear how long the city could be defended.
"General, can you give me an exact date?" Pei Zilie raised his head and said. He was not afraid of dying in battle, nor was he afraid of using so many people to resist Yuchi Jiong head-on. He just wanted to have some confidence in his heart and be able to explain to Li Xingchen and Xiao Shilian.
Xiao Mohe was silent for a moment and said calmly: "It can take as little as seven days or as long as half a month. Reinforcements will arrive. A certain meeting will order General Ren and General Chunyu of Yingzhou to try to get closer to you or send troops to contain Xiangyang's flanks. But if we see you together, we will be there soon."
Be sure to bring all the food and grass with you when you leave, because what you are facing is very likely to be a siege."
"The last general will live up to his command!" Pei Zilie didn't say anything else this time and simply held his hand.
"Boom!"
The moment Pei Zilie stretched out his hand to lift the curtain of the camp, thunder suddenly exploded from the sky, and the electric light split the clouds, suddenly illuminating the entire battlefield. In his eyes, there was an electric light like a dancing snake, and Pei Zilie stepped slightly.
After a pause, he walked straight out.
Heavy raindrops hit his armor heavily, but he ignored it.
Behind Pei Zilie, Xiao Mohe also saw the lightning and thunder that illuminated the sky and the earth. He just squinted his eyes slightly, turned to look at the map again, picked up his pen and marked the location of Zhangshan County on the map.
A few strokes.
The bright red mark is like the color of blood.
"Boom!" Behind Xiao Mohe, there was another thunderous explosion. This time, the dancing electric light seemed to be directed towards the large tent of the Chinese army. Countless rays of light passed through the rolled up curtain without restraint.
Illuminate the big account clearly.
"Kill!" The sound of killing that shook the heaven and earth once again drowned out the thunder and became the only sound in the entire world.
Amidst the wind, rain and thunder, the battle continues up and down Jiangling City!
——————————————————-
The Mianshui River flows mightily to the south, and the originally wide river surface is even more turbulent in the wind and rain. The fields and mountains on both sides of the river are shrouded in the wind and rain, and only their outlines can be vaguely seen.
"It's really raining heavily!" Xiao Shilian, wearing a bamboo hat and raincoat, rushed in from outside and rushed to the corridor. Several personal guards who had been waiting there hurried forward and hurriedly helped him take off his raincoat.
Looking at Xiao Shilian who was cursing, Li Xingchen couldn't help but laugh, stretched out his hand to pick up the tea cup and took a sip of tea: "You didn't stop raining so hard, so did you find anything in the end?"
"You can find a ghost!" Xiao Shilian snorted, threw the bamboo hat aside, strode in, picked up a cup of hot tea and drank it in one gulp, "There are only a few people in the whole city and outside the city, and the other government offices are also there.
They are all empty, and the officials from Western Liang, or more accurately the officials from Northern Zhou Dynasty, have already disappeared."
Li Xingchen picked up the teapot and poured another cup for Xiao Shilian, and said with a smile: "Drinking water like a cow, such good tea is really wasted by you. If Mr. Shen and others know that you are always doing this kind of burning the piano,
I don’t know how angry I am about the crane thing.”
"How can they care about the place where Emperor Tiangao is far away?" Xiao Shilian said angrily.
Zhangshan County is still north of Jiangling, so there is nothing wrong with saying that the sky is high and the emperor is far away.
Li Xingchen smiled self-consciously, and then mocked: "It's as if you couldn't do such a thing under the nose of the Emperor of Jiankang Mansion."
Xiao Shilian was still drinking tea, and seemed to still feel unhappy. He wiped his mouth with his sleeve, took off the water bag that he always kept with him and threw it to the guard next to him. Then he said with a smile: "This person is alive, so everything
All I want is to be open-minded and free-spirited, so that I can do whatever I want. How can I be free with so many restrictions?"
This time, Li Xinchen was stunned. Looking at his careless companion, Li Xinchen raised his eyebrows, but didn't say anything.
Xiao Shilian is Xiao Shilian, and he, Li Xinchen, is Li Xinchen. Everyone has a different origin and different experiences. Naturally, it is impossible to impose one person's will on another person.
