Three hundred and seventieth chapters in all directions
Tang Zhengliang frowned and looked at the dilapidated camp in front of him. He was the captain of Chuzhou and the only captain under the command of Zhang He, the leading governor of Chuzhou. After the captain, he became a general, because Chuzhou was not a war zone at all.
, so there cannot be a general.
Of course, that was just the beautiful idea of the Northern Zhou court. The enemies now appearing in the three counties of Linjiang and outside Laoya Mountain and Tongluo Gorge obviously indicate that war may appear in the hinterland of Bashu at any time.
The camp in front of Tang Zhengliang now is the Laoyashan camp, which was crumbling under Chen Zhishen's fierce attack. There is only one road in the entire Laoyashan camp to reach the gate of the camp, and this road is also the only way to cross Laoyashan to Bajun.
However, it is such a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. In the three days of fierce fighting, Tang Zhengliang still suffered more than 500 casualties. You must know that Tang Zhengliang only had more than 1,000 people under his command. This can be said to be
More than half the casualties were.
If it had been anyone else, he would have been unable to hold on long ago, but Tang Zhengliang had no choice. He was not only the captain of Chuzhou, but also the head of the Bajun Tang family, one of the branches of the Xiajiang Tang family.
There are more than thirty members of the family, and now they are all tightly controlled by Zhang He. As long as Tang Zhengliang does not fight desperately, their family will be the ones who will die.
As the head of the family, Tang Zhengliang must shoulder his responsibilities, because the relationship between the Xiajiang Tang family and Zhang He is not harmonious. The Bajun Tang family has been living in the cracks over the years, and it was not easy to preserve the incense. Of course
It cannot be cut off in Tang Zhengliang's hands.
"Dad, let's retreat quickly before that crazy Chen comes, otherwise it will be too late." Tang Zhengliang's eldest son Tang Qi said breathlessly.
Crazy Chen is the name that everyone recognizes for Chen Zhishen, because in the past three days, this guy really attacked the camp like a madman, forcing Tang Zhengliang to breathe hard. The last attack forced Tang Zhengliang to kill five people who had been with him for many years.
Ten Tang disciples all threw themselves in and were able to barely block the enemy.
The Tang family in Xiajiang built their family with martial arts. Although these disciples who are worthy of Tang Zhengliang's true heritage have held up the defense line, they have also suffered heavy losses. There are only a dozen people who can stand up now, and you can tell from their faces that they don't want to
The fight went down.
This was originally a battle with great disparity in strength. Chen Zhishen did not launch an attack with all his troops every time. Instead, he divided his men into two teams and fought in a wheel-and-wheel battle, without giving Tang Zhengliang a chance to rest. This is why Chen Zhishen's men
Every charge was so fierce.
As for leading the army to break out of the camp, it was even more wishful thinking for Tang Zhengliang, otherwise it would not have caused such great losses to Tang Zhengliang as the defender.
"Master, withdraw. If you don't withdraw, we will have to answer here." Another disciple couldn't help but whispered, "We have tried our best, and the governor will not blame us."
Before he could finish his words, earth-shaking cheers came from the south side of Laoya Mountain. The soldiers in the entire camp suddenly looked at each other in surprise. They all immediately understood what was going on and expressed undisguised worry.
Look at Tang Zhengliang.
To the south of Laoya Mountain is Tongluo Gorge. These two dangerous places together form Bajun's only line of defense. Obviously Tongluo Gorge has been lost, which means that the enemy's navy may bypass Laoya at any time.
Behind the mountain, it will be too late to retreat by then.
"Let's go!" Tang Zhengliang made a decisive decision. If Tongluo Gorge was lost, Chen Zhishen would definitely step up the attack, and might even press the entire army - with Chen Madman's character, this is not impossible.
If you don’t leave now, you will definitely never leave again.

Zhang He anxiously paced back and forth on the city tower. He didn't know what the fighting situation was like at Laoya Mountain and Tongluo Gorge. He didn't even know whether his reinforcements had arrived at Laoya Mountain or whether they would kill the damned Xiao Shilian as he imagined.
Surround in turn.
He only knows that although he has a Bajun under his command now, except for the more than a thousand strong men who were temporarily mobilized to defend the city, there are only more than 500 soldiers who can fight. If he wants to rely on these 1,500 people to defend the city
Ba Jun, Zhang He asked himself that he did not have this ability.
More importantly, there is also a Nanchen army with about 2,000 people. At this time, it has occupied the line from Wangjiangtai to Shamao Mountain on the west side of Bajun, which is equivalent to completely cutting off the reinforcement road from Luzhou. Zhang and
I don’t think it would be easier for the reinforcements to face the Nanchen camp on Wangjiangtai than it would be for the Nanchen army to face the Northern Zhou camp on Laoya Mountain.
Zhang He was not sure whether Xiao Shilian's troops and horses were reinforcing Lao Yashan.
Thinking that the Chuzhou governor, who had great power just a few days ago, was now an out-and-out trapped beast, Zhang He felt a little powerless.
Now he can only place his hope in his navy and Tang Zhengliang, who at least appears to be respectful to him.
"Hasn't there been any news from the sentry yet?" Zhang He raised his head and looked at the general who was standing aside and did not dare to say a word.
"No, and the sentinel sent out has not come back for two hours..." The general replied hastily, with worry in his words, "I guess they must have discovered something, and my subordinates have already sent out again.
A group of people, I hope to find..."
"That's enough!" Zhang He interrupted this incompetent subordinate directly, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?!"
He did not believe that his scouts who would turn around and run away when they saw the enemy would follow them all the way or even forget to come back. The only possibility was that these scouts had been directly strangled by the enemy's scouts or even the army, and did not even have the chance to come back to spread the news.
The subordinate was obedient and did not dare to say more. Zhang He nervously turned around and looked outside the city. At this moment, on the horizon and on the river, a shadow jumped into Zhang He's eyes with the sun behind him.
Then came the shadows of boats one after another, covering the entire river.
Zhang He's heart skipped a beat and he broke into a cold sweat.
At this moment, he knew very well that there was no need to wait any longer, because the enemy had already appeared in front of him.
And as if to echo the fleet, in the north and east of the city, groups of men and horses appeared one after another, and the flags in front of the soldiers and horses were particularly bright.
"Li", "Xiao", "Chen" and other battle flags were waving in front of different soldiers and horses, symbolizing the arrival of the commander-in-chief and general of the Nan-Chen army as well as the commander-in-chief of the branch division in the direction of Laoyashan.
Zhang He didn't even need to imagine what would happen to Laoyashan, Tongluo Gorge, and even his own reinforcements.
"Report!" A panicked scout rushed to Zhang He, "Inform the governor that enemy troops have appeared in the west of the city, and their flag is 'Cheng'."
Zhang He gritted his teeth and punched the battlements hard.
In the blink of an eye, he had become a completely trapped beast. The Nanchen troops coming from all directions were surrounding him and were ready to swallow him whole.
And he didn't even know how the enemy destroyed his army.
