Yuchi Jiong tensed his face and looked at the troops moving back and forth on the hillside in front. Every time the Northern Zhou army rushed up, they would be driven down by the Nanchen soldiers on the top of the mountain. Yuchijiong didn't know how many people there were on the other side, and he didn't know.
Know why the other party has been able to hold on for so long.
In Yuchi Jiong's eyes, this small hillside should have been a barrier for him to get out of the Sun family. But who would have thought that more than a thousand Nanchen soldiers stationed on this hillside would turn this hillside into a huge choke.
At the meat mill, the Northern Zhou soldiers who rushed up could only fall down on the hillside.
Facing this hillside, Yuchijiong felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
The most indispensable thing in Bashu is the famous passes such as Xiongguan, Jiange, Mianzhu and so on. The hillside in front of you would not be noticeable anywhere, but now it is this hillside that strangles Yuchi Jiong's throat.
Langzhong is behind this hillside, but Yuchijiong cannot climb over it at all.
I'm afraid these Nanchen soldiers are not crazy... Yuchijiong could even see the general's flag on the hillside. Although it was dilapidated, it was always hunting and dancing. No matter how the Northern Zhou soldiers rushed forward, the flag was still there.
Standing on the top of the mountain, motionless.
"Ming Jin!" Yuchi Jiong waved his hand.
Now this group of soldiers and horses has been attacking continuously for more than half an hour. The two sides have been back and forth along the last line of defense on the top of the mountain for too long. Anyone can see that the Northern Zhou soldiers have no chance to attack. They even
Once he was pushed to the mountainside by the defenders. If Yuchi hadn't followed the crowd, rushed forward with his guards, and forcibly stabilized the battle line, he might have been driven to the foot of the mountain in embarrassment this time.
It was impossible for Yuchi Jong to let a group of soldiers go forward for too long. After all, these soldiers and horses had just braved the wind and snow to cross Micang Mountain. The soldiers were quite tired. If they kept urging the soldiers and horses to move forward, they would only get twice the result with twice the result.
.
So it seems that Yuchi Jiong is using wheel fighting to consume the physical strength and endurance of Xiao Shilian and others, but in fact it is also because he is suffering unspeakably.
"Dad, the enemy's reinforcements are coming, but I don't know how many there are." Yuchishun strode over with his face stained with blood. He participated in almost every attack and broke into Nanchen's army's defense line again and again.
It was crumbling, but the defense line had never been broken through. The young man who stood on the corpse and gave orders was something Yu Chishun would never forget for the rest of his life.
Xiao Shilian and Li Xingchen really found a good thug.
Yu Chishun didn't know what Xiao Shilian's strategic ability was, but in the battle for the small hill in front of him, there was no need for any strategy at all. What was competing was the fighting will of both sides.
At this point, Yu Chishun had to admit that few people had even heard of this young man, and the aura of "Son of Xiao Maha" on his head was more dazzling than his own official position, even more powerful than himself.
Be stronger.
"Reinforcements?" Yuchi Jiong narrowed his eyes, his expression becoming more solemn.
Li Xinchen was able to mobilize reinforcements at this time, which was telling Yuchi that Panlong County had fallen into Li Xinchen's control. The reinforcements were here to support the retreat of the defenders on the hillside.
"Dad, I'm afraid it's already over there in Panlong County..." Yu Chishun's voice trembled slightly and he couldn't help but whisper.
Although this reality was cruel, they had to accept it. The tens of thousands of troops crossed Micang Mountain and went through hardships and obstacles. In the end, they even had little food and baggage left, but in the end they got this result.
The fall of Panlong County City meant that they didn't even have a place to stand in Langzhong. They didn't have food and grass, and they didn't have enough siege equipment. Besides waiting for Wei Xiaokuan, the only option was to lure Li Xinchen out of the city to fight in the field.
But would Li Xingchen, as shrewd as a fox, leave the city without knowing what he can do?
Yuchijiong did not have such extravagant hopes.
"General, the enemy has begun to retreat." A scout came quickly.
In fact, everyone could see it without him reporting it. The flag on the hillside had changed from "Xiao" to "Cao", indicating that the person who came to meet Xiao Shilian was Cao Zhong, the most stable person under Li Xunchen. The report's evaluation of this person
He was too cautious but not flexible enough. Li Xingchen sent him to break up the rear, which was obviously to let Cao Zhong use his strengths and avoid weaknesses.
"Xiao Shilian, Cao Zhong..." Yuchi Jiong murmured and repeated these two names, sighing softly, "Li Xinchen is a good general!"
"Dad, do you still want to attack now?" Yuchishun asked in a deep voice. No matter what, so many soldiers and horses must make their next move, and they cannot stay in the Sunjiamen Canyon.
"Attack, take down this hill, collect the corpses, and clean the battlefield." Yuchi Jiong ordered, and then he remembered something, "Xiao Liu, you stay."
Yuchi Shun was about to completely step into the hill in front of him when he heard Yuchi Jiong's voice and turned around quickly: "Dad?"
"You don't have to go." Yuchi Jiong sighed softly in his heart. This child of his is too unstable, and he doesn't know when he will grow into a general like Li Xingchen who can truly take charge of his own affairs. In that case, he will be relieved, "Cao Zhong
He won't hold on any longer. Look at his general's flag on the hillside, I guess there is no trace of him."
Yuchishun hesitated for a moment and nodded.
And Yuchi Jiong looked at the map unfolded by the guards around him: "Since Panlong County has fallen into the hands of Li Xingchen, we are not in a hurry to leave Micang Mountain. There are few roads in the mountain and we can defend it according to danger. If we are in Panlong,
We are helpless below Longjun City. As long as Li Xingchen finds a way to cut off our baggage, we will have no basis to advance or retreat."
"What does daddy mean?" Yu Chishun roughly guessed.
Reaching out and tapping the Chaotian Gate on the west side of Langzhong, Yuchi Jiong said in a deep voice: "You can enter and exit Langzhong here, and it is also the only way from Jiange to Shu County. Therefore, when Wei Xiaokuan leads his troops south, he will definitely go here, while Li Xinchen competes for Langzhong.
The root of this is also here, someone needs to lead troops to occupy Chaotianmen first."
Yuchi Shun suddenly raised his eyebrows. Knowing that this was a task given to him by his father, he immediately handed over his hand and said, "I understand, kid!"
"I will give you five thousand soldiers and horses. You can take all those who did not participate in the battle today." Yuchi said in a deep voice, "Be sure to seize Chaotian!"
Seeing Yuchishun turn around and leave, Yuchijiong sighed softly.
This is the last way he can think of to deal with the deadlock in front of him. If Yuchishun can take down Chaotian, then this battle will not be irreversible for the Northern Zhou Dynasty!
Subconsciously looking back at the vast Micang Mountain behind him, Yu Chijiong murmured: "I just hope this bunch of old bones didn't go away in vain! I don't know what's going on with Wei Xiaokuan... now."
Only by relying on him can this situation be turned around."
