The powerful enemies and the experience of fighting side by side have gradually integrated the various departments under Li Xinchen who originally needed to get along because they had not been together for a short time. This is of course what Li Xinchen is happy to see.
He never naively thought that the old soldiers who followed him into Shu, Dai Cai, Cheng Feng, and the surrendered soldiers under their command, as well as the various tribes of the Ba people, would be able to hit it off immediately. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are rivers and lakes.
Intrigue.
Moreover, the tight time did not allow Li Xingchen to disperse these soldiers and horses for retraining and regrouping. This would certainly ensure that these soldiers could better understand each other, but it also meant that this army would be very difficult in a short period of time.
It is difficult to form combat effectiveness.
Therefore, all Li Xingchen can do now is to let them act separately to ensure their combat effectiveness.
However, the mutual cooperation between various departments in this battle clearly told Li Xinchen that such a battle related to the life and death of the entire group had obviously overcome the rest of the suspicion and displeasure in their hearts, allowing them to unite under one banner and risk their lives.
The rush to kill.
This may be something Li Xingchen didn't expect to see, but it was right before his eyes.
"General." Du Qi strode over, "What should we do next?"
This sentence suddenly brought Li Xingchen back to reality from emotion. Now there are more problems that need to be solved by him.
"Let's go back." Li Xingchen said in a deep voice.
This was just the beginning of the entire Battle of Langzhong. Guo Liang was just the first person to fall on this road, and there were still many obstacles in front of Li Xinchen. As for whether Li Xinchen or Yuchi Jiong fell in the end, in fact,
Now Li Xingchen is not completely sure yet.
All he can do is to continue to grit his teeth on this road with this ever-changing army.
"No!" Du Qi, Li Xun and others all responded.
The surrounding soldiers looked at Li Xingchen, who was turning around with great strides, with surprisingly fiery eyes.
The corpses of fallen enemies around them clearly told them how good this young general was at creating miracles, and they were honored to be one of them fighting under the banner of Li Xinchen.
——————————————
Xiao Shilian patted the snow on his armor and looked quietly at the city wall not far away.
"General, the news sent from Tiangongyuan is that General Dang has won the battle." Cheng Feng walked over quickly and said with an cupped hand.
Xiao Shilian nodded slightly, and it was reasonable for Li Xingchen to take the Tiangongyuan Mountain. Although the Tiangongyuan was easy to defend and difficult to attack, Li Xingchen was not an easy person, and he directly led his army to bypass the Tiangongyuan Mountain from the east and advance directly to it.
At the foot of Panlong County, it shows that we are still confident in taking over Tiangongyuan.
And the rest is up to you.
The capture of the northern part of Tiangongyuan Mountain meant that the southern gate of Langzhong was open. This time, the defenders of Panlong County were even less likely to seek field battles outside the city. Even Xiao Shilian had reason to doubt whether these guys had the guts to defend the city.
"Is there any news from the scouts?" Xiao Shilian's voice lowered slightly.
Cheng Feng was the former Fuling Tuntian Commander-in-Chief, and now he is Xiao Shilian's right-hand man. Li Xingchen has never meant to allow his subordinates to cultivate confidants. When a general goes on an expedition, he must have a few subordinates who can be entrusted to him.
Of course, this is only limited to people such as Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie who will never betray or even oppose Li Xunchen. Pei Zilie is based in Shicheng County. He has Zheng Kaiyuan, Xu Deyan, etc. under his command, which can be regarded as civilized and military. Naturally, Xiao Shilian's subordinates are from Fuling.
Cheng Feng has been following him.
Cheng Feng had not been on the battlefield much before, but he was still quite talented. Xiao Shilian could see his transformation from raw to mature, and now Xiao Shilian had entrusted him with the important task of spying on the news.
"Not yet," Cheng Feng said hesitantly. "This snow has just stopped, and it is still falling on the Micang Mountain to the north. It will take at least two or three days before Yuchijiong can leave Micang Mountain."
Xiao Shilian turned his head slightly to look at Cheng Feng, but didn't say anything.
Cheng Feng had been following Xiao Shilian for a long time. He knew that although the young man in front of him was not like Li Xingchen and was even a bit evil, he was definitely not an easy person. He did not dare to neglect at the moment and hurriedly explained:
"The scouts under the general's command have followed the roads in Micang Mountain for more than ten miles, but found nothing. Yuchi Jiong was probably worried that the road was slippery, so he slowed down his march. This is reasonable."
·····”
Xiao Shilian gently rubbed his chin: "Yu Chijiong... is not an ordinary person."
"Report——" At this moment, a scout ran over quickly.
Cheng Feng glanced at this figure in surprise, while Xiao Shilian raised his eyebrows slightly. He had been waiting outside Panlong County for so long. Is he finally here?
"Reporting to the general, a baggage convoy was found in Lengshuigou, with about two to three thousand people."
"Lengshui ditch?!" Xiao Shilian's expression changed slightly. He was quite familiar with the terrain and terrain around Micang Mountain after these few days of research, but he was still startled when the name was mentioned.
Lengshuigou is a relatively large ravine in Micang Mountain. The road is quite spacious, so the enemy's baggage chose this place. And the baggage team has already penetrated deep into Micang Mountain. Doesn't it mean that the enemy's army should have almost left Micang Mountain.
Already?
However, the enemy's main force has not been found so far. So where has the enemy's main force gone?
Cheng Feng also realized the seriousness of the situation and looked at Xiao Shilian with a tight frown.
"Spread out all the scouts and explore again!" Xiao Shilian's voice suddenly became stern, "Whether it's following the clues or looking for a needle in a haystack, this Micang Mountain is so big. If every inch of the mountain is turned over, someone will be able to do it."
If you don’t believe it, you can’t find Yuchi Jong!”
After a pause, Xiao Shilian waved his hand: "Immediately report this news to the bandit generals, and beat the drums to gather the generals. Tell the brothers that we have waited long enough and it is time to stretch our muscles and bones!"
"General, now that the enemy's situation is unknown, should we further investigate before launching troops?" Cheng Feng stepped forward anxiously and stretched out his hand to grab Xiao Shilian's sleeve.
In his view, launching troops before he knew exactly where Yuchi Jong was would expose his whereabouts and alert the enemy, which might only give Yuchi Jong more loopholes.
Xiao Shilian said in a deep voice: "We don't have that much time now. Shizhong has just captured Tiangongyuan Mountain, and it must be repaired, so our army is the only one that can move in the entire battle."
"This..." Cheng Feng was hesitant. He had stayed in Fuling for a long time and was wary of Zhang He's suppression, so his character inevitably became a little hesitant and cautious.
Xiao Shilian chuckled lightly: "There is nothing to worry about. Look at the defenders in the city. Since the Tiangongyuan was breached, they have no courage to continue to go out of the city to provoke. So I can safely send my troops north and hand over this city to the world."
Loyalty.”
Thinking of something, Xiao Shilian complained: "I had enough of attacking Luzhou before, so I should leave Shizhong with a headache now."
