The generals' eyes changed when they looked at Xiao Shilian. They had noticed the changes in the Northern Zhou army and understood how important the decision Xiao Shilian had just made was.
If it hadn't been for Xiao Shilian's decisive retreat to the hillside, I'm afraid everyone would have turned into corpses on the Sunjiamen Mountain Road.
The Yu Chi Shun opposite them could react so quickly and ruthlessly, which made the generals who had been dealing with the local soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty secretly dumbfounded for a moment. How could their young general become a miscellaneous soldier at such a young age?
General No., you definitely have this ability.
Xiao Shilian didn't give any more instructions. The defense line on the hillside had already begun to be built. The army's only baggage vehicles were all placed across the mountainside as the first line of defense. In front of the defense line, trenches began to be dug, as if to clear this small
The hills formed a dead line.
"Is there any news from Tiangongyuan?" Xiao Shilian asked in a deep voice.
Cheng Feng hurriedly handed over the letter in his hand: "This is the instruction just sent from General Dangkou. I am about to hand it over to the general."
Xiao Shilian nodded and opened the envelope with three strokes. He glanced at it briefly and then smiled. Strategically, Li Xingchen and his wing coincided with each other. Li Xingchen would try his best to capture Panlong County City.
, and all Xiao Shilian needs to do is to block the exit of Sun's house.
The enemy's baggage and food have already appeared in Lengshuigou, and there is only one road from Lengshuigou to Sunjiamen, so it can be determined that the enemy's main force is also on this mountain road. Therefore, as long as Sunjiamen is blocked, if Yuchijiong wants to take a detour, I am afraid that
It would take two or three days, and if he wanted to attack by force, Xiao Shilian was confident that he could last at least one day.
After all, if you want to get out of the Sun family gate first, you must conquer this hill. Xiao Shilian still doesn't believe that he can't defend this hill.
"General, the enemy's scout." A sharp-eyed general shouted in surprise.
At this time, the sky was already bright, and the battlefield where the corpses had been collected was empty. Only the blood-stained land and the ashes after the fire still told everyone who saw this scene that a tragic event had occurred here just last night.
battle.
On the empty valley, several figures were approaching quickly. They had no intention of hiding their whereabouts, but they also did not want to provoke Xiao Shilian. They just walked to the place where they camped yesterday and looked here cautiously.
.
"Let them see," Xiao Shilian chuckled, "I am standing here, and I want to see what Yu Chishun can do to me!"
As he spoke, Xiao Shilian yawned and waved: "Brothers have been busy all night, let them rest as soon as possible..."
Having said this, Xiao Shilian paused subconsciously and said softly: "...Maybe there will be a fierce battle after waking up."
"General?" Cheng Feng, who didn't hear clearly what Xiao Shilian said, asked subconsciously.
"It's nothing, everyone is going to rest, except for the sentry!" Xiao Shilian laughed loudly.
When many soldiers saw Xiao Shilian looking so relaxed and at ease, they felt a lot more relaxed. Their generals were obviously very confident about this battle, so what else did everyone have to fear and worry about.
Only Cheng Feng noticed the fleeting worry on Xiao Shilian's face. He couldn't help but take a breath and subconsciously looked in the direction of Panlong County City. He hoped that General Dang Kou could do what he should do according to the plan, otherwise
Xiao Shilian will make too many sacrifices here.
——————————————————-
Li Xingchen stood at the foot of Panlong County City, looking at this majestic city so close at hand.
For him, who had just entered Ba County, Panlong County City was undoubtedly a distant goal. Once upon a time, this city was already so close to him.
After receiving Xiao Shilian's first battle report, Li Xingchen moved his Chinese military tent directly to Xiao Shilian's original camp, and at the same time sent a large number of scouts to completely block the communication between Panlong County and the outside world.
With this arrangement, Li Xingchen could attack the city when he advanced, and when he retreated, he could meet Xiao Shilian.
"The enemies of Shu County are more honest than I thought." Li Xingchen turned around and reached out to open the tent. Just this morning, he received military information from Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie. Regarding these two battle reports, Li Xingchen also had some doubts.
have no choice.
Xiao Shilian ran into Yuchishun directly. I don't know whether it was inevitable or lucky. At least now Xiao Shilian has led his army to block the Sun family gate. It should be difficult for Yuchishun to break through the defense line and rush to the Panlong County city for a while. Moreover, Xiao Shilian
The certainty of retreat in the later stages of the battle also made Li Xingchen breathe a sigh of relief.
Xiao Shilian's recklessness was what worried him the most, but now it seemed that at least Xiao Shilian was able to grasp the balance.
Now it seems that at least this move was the right one.
As for Pei Zilie, he could no longer sit still and sent a large number of scouts towards Shu County. Some of the scouts were even under Mianzhu Pass. However, the defenders of Shu County just stayed behind closed doors, so Pei Zilie
There was nothing I could do for a while. I could only tell Li Xinchen the detailed information. Mianzhu, Fushui and other passes are some of the most dangerous places in Bashu, and it would not be easy to attack them by force.
Apparently the defenders of Shu County had received strict orders and were waiting for Wei Xiaokuan's army to come to the rescue.
And by calculation, Wei Xiaokuan should be arriving at Jiange soon.
"The defenders of Shu County won't be able to hold on for long," Du Qi, who was discussing softly with Li Xun in front of the map after hearing Li Xingchen's words, turned around and said in a deep voice, "Their food and grass will not reach the beginning of spring."
Li Xingchen was startled for a moment and then understood.
Although the Northern Zhou army tightened its defense line outside Shu County, the harvest in Shu County last year was poor and there were even refugees. Therefore, it is conceivable that the army's grain and grass reserves must be running out. Now the enemy is not so much defending as it is trapped.
.
As long as Li Xingchen can block Yuchi Jiong and Wei Xiaokuan, it will be difficult for the Northern Zhou army without food and grass to defend Shu County. At that time, it will be up to Li Xingchen to lead his army to take over.
So now Wei Xiaokuan is betting, Yuchi Jiong is betting, they are betting that Li Xingchen has no way to defeat them, or in other words, there is no way to defeat them in a short time.
"These two old guys are really brave." Li Xingchen's voice was slightly cold, and then he looked at Du Qi, "Let the scouts investigate again! Be sure to find out where Wei Xiaokuan is now! Since Yu Chijiong has been exposed,
Wei Xiaokuan will probably be there soon too!"
"No!" Du Qi responded hastily.
Li Xingchen turned to look at the map. The huge Bashu was like a huge chessboard. And now how far can he go with these abandoned sons? Will he become famous or just turn into withered bones and disappear in the fragments of history books?
Is taking Bashu into my hands a whim or an ambition?
