"It's still the same team of cavalry!" The surrounding generals sighed inwardly and looked at each other silently.
Yuchi Jiong squinted at the city and sent out this group of cavalry. Perhaps it was the most correct choice made by the young general named Li Xinchen in this battle. And the facts proved that they did not live up to Li Xinchen's trust in them.
.
"By the way, generals, my subordinates also saw that many of these enemies had broken clothes and armor. It seemed that they had just experienced a big battle, but although they were tired, they had high morale. It should be...
"The scout remembered something again and said hurriedly, but then he realized something and his voice gradually dropped.
If these island barbarians fought a victorious battle, then it could only be that they fought against the Northern Zhou people, which naturally means that the Northern Zhou Dynasty failed.
Looking at the scout who was reluctant to speak, Yuchishun waved his hand and asked him to step aside first.
Besides, everything else was actually useless. When this group of reinforcements appeared, there was not much difference whether the five thousand Northern Zhou light soldiers sent out still existed. They did not block the enemy's reinforcements. In fact, they
The mission has failed.
Eyes fell on Yuchishun one after another, all with a meaning of inquiry. The old general's face looked obviously gloomy, and naturally everyone did not dare to speak rashly.
"Dad, we are now..." Yu Chishun said in a low voice. At this time, he was probably the only one who dared to ask Yu Chijiong for his opinion.
Yuchi Jiong snorted: "There are more than 4,000 people, which means a total of 5,000 or 6,000 people. We still have an absolute advantage in numbers. Are you afraid?"
The surrounding generals looked at each other with helpless expressions on their faces.
Although what Yu Chijiong said is true, the people in the city in front of them obviously cannot be treated by ordinary people. They have persisted for such a long time with more than 2,000 people. If there are more than 4,000 people, does that mean
Can it last longer?
Now that the ambush team has been wiped out, time has become a fatal factor for the Northern Zhou Dynasty. No one knows how long Jiangling City can hold on now. After all, the danger they face is different from the current Zhangshan County Governor.
What the military faced was almost the same, even worse.
These Nanchen madmen can grit their teeth and withstand the frenzy, but can those Xiliang people? Not to mention Yuchi Shun, I am afraid that even Yuchi Jiong will inevitably feel worried about this.
However, Yuchijiong knew that if he withdraws his troops back to Xiangyang in despair, not only will it be a heavy and irreparable blow to his prestige and the morale of the army, but if he captures this Zhangshan County, even if he really loses
If Jiangling City is lost, at least it will be easier to explain to the soldiers and the court.
However, before Yuchi Jiong could urge the generals to attack, a meteor horse rushed into the camp, passed through the deserted camp, and galloped directly to the location of the Chinese army.
This meteor horse came from the north, so no one noticed it for a while. It wasn't until the sentry rushed up to the general stand that the surrounding generals looked over in surprise. The sentry didn't hesitate too much and went straight
One hand:
"General, a group of Daoyi troops have broken through the Jianshui River and are now on the shore of the Mianshui River, preparing to forcefully cross the Mianshui River and attack Wuning County. Wuning County is in emergency!"
Wuning County is in emergency!
When these words fell into their ears, all the generals were dumbfounded. Wuning County is the only way back to Xiangyang from here, and its barrier effect on Xiangyang is similar to Zhangshan County's shield against Jiangling behind. If Wuning County loses
Not only will the gates of Xiangyang be wide open, but the soldiers and horses heading south will be attacked by the enemy from both front and rear.
"Who is leading the army? How many troops?" Yu Chishun grabbed the collar of the sentinel, "Quick, tell me clearly!"
The sentinel hurriedly said: "Chun Yuliang, the general of Zhengxi whose flag is Daoyi, has tens of thousands of troops. We are in Suizhou, and the defenders in the Jinshui area only have two or three thousand people. We can't stop them at all, especially now that Suizhou has fallen, and the rest
The state capital simply does not dare to send troops to stop it easily..."
Yuchishun's expression changed and he weakly let go of his hand.
Whether it is Chun Yuliang's reputation or the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, they are a fatal threat to Wuning County and the retreat of Yuchi Jiong's army, which is enough for Yuchi Jiong to withdraw his troops now.
Before the sentry left, another sentry rushed up quickly. No one even noticed when he arrived at the general station: "General Qi, Mianyang City has fallen and the defenders have surrendered.
, now Ren Zhongzheng, the general in charge of the northern part of the island, is leading his troops to the north, and his troops are pointing directly at Zhangshan County!"
Reinforcements, reinforcements all the way again!
The expressions of all the generals were already uncertain, but Yuchi Jiong slowly clenched his fists.
He knew very well that there was no need to persist in this battle. Mianyang was conquered and Suizhou was conquered. It was harmless now and would not threaten the foundation of the Northern Zhou Dynasty in Xiangyang. But if he could not take Zhangshan County in the short term,
And if Wuning County, which is garrisoned by only one or two thousand local soldiers, falls into the hands of the enemy, then no matter how strong the Xiangyang city is, it will be difficult to preserve it without the defenders.
If Jiangling was lost, then Lu Teng and Xiao Kui were mainly responsible. If Xiangyang was lost, Yu Chijiong would have no choice but to apologize to Yu Wenyong in person.
What's more, Yu Chijiong also knew what Yu Wenyong meant by asking him to replace Yang Jian. Yu Wenyong didn't trust Yang Jian's family very much. Letting Yu Chi Jiong, a steady veteran, come here would also have the effect of dividing Yang Jian. If Yu Chi
He messed up right away. I'm afraid no one can stop Yang Jian after Yu Wenyong!
His own reputation and the morale of the army are nothing compared to Yu Wenyong's trust and the future of the Great Zhou Dynasty. At this moment, Yuchi Jiong has already made a choice:
"Ah Shun, order all the troops to suspend the attack and send scouts to the north to find out where Chunyu Liang's army is. In addition, immediately notify Wuning County to all the cities along Xiangyang to strictly defend!"
"No!" Yu Chishun trembled. At this time, he already understood his father's choice, but he was still a little tangled and said, "But dad, let's just..."
In the howling wind, the killing sounds gradually subsided, and there was a hint of bitterness on Yuchi Jiong's face: "Ren Zhong and Chun Yuliang did not go to support Jiangling. Instead, they both walked away and came here. Do you know what this means?
"
Yuchishun's expression changed slightly: "What dad means is..."
Yuchi Jiong walked straight to the audience, his back looking a little forlorn: "This shows that Jiangling City is probably in danger. If we still attack here, I'm afraid it's not just Ren Zhong and Chun Yuliang who are coming.
It is the main force of the island barbarians led by Xiao Mohe."
Slowly looking up at the city wall in front of him, Yuchi Jiong had a look of helplessness on his face.
Unexpectedly, the old man had been fighting on the battlefield for so many years, and finally he stopped his troops in front of such a small Zhangshan County.
At this moment, Yuchijiong felt that Zhangshan County was as tall as the Yinshan Mountains on the grassland, and he would never be able to climb over it in his life.
