However, Yu Chishun arrived at Cangxi Valley for two or three days and even established contact with Wei Xiaokuan's forward scouts, but he did not see any movements of Li Xinchen's scouts or soldiers. This means that Li Xinchen probably did not come to attack Cangxi Valley.
mean.
So what exactly does Li Xingchen want to do, sit back and wait for death?
"That's wrong!" Cao Xiaoda suddenly realized something.
Yu Chishun also reacted and stood up suddenly: "No, if Li Xingchen doesn't come to attack Cangxi Valley, he must be looking for trouble with daddy! How long has it been since the scout who contacted daddy has been here?"
Cao Xiaoda gritted his teeth and found that they had all ignored this problem. Everyone subconsciously believed that what Li Xingchen had to do was to defend Langzhong and delay time, and the most important thing to defend Langzhong was of course to stop Wei Xiaokuan.
But they overlooked one thing. One of the purposes of Wei Xiaokuan entering Langzhong was to destroy Li Xingchen, and the other purpose was to rescue Yuchi Jiong. Whether it was strategically or politically, it was impossible for Wei Xiaokuan to ignore death.
Li Xingchen only needs to attack Wei Xiaokuan and save him!
"Scout, where is the scout?!" Yuchi Shun shouted loudly, with a bit of anxiety in his voice. He didn't know what was going on with his father.
Cao Xiaoda hurriedly waved and asked a side general to come over and gave a few instructions in a low voice. Soon after, the side general and a battle leader who was in charge of the scouts who were in contact with Yu Chijun came over quickly.
"Young General!" The battle leader ran over anxiously, "The last team of scouts who went to contact the general haven't come back for more than half an hour. I originally planned to wait until an hour later to report...
"
Yu Chishun frowned and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Cao Xiaoda. Cao Xiaoda lowered his voice and asked, "Don't be anxious. Will the scouts come back on time every time?"
"Uncle Cao!" Yuchishun stamped his feet, while Cao Xiaoda said in a deep voice:
"Cangxi Valley guards the road from Jiange. We are alone here and it is not appropriate to move lightly. We must not mess up our position before we understand the specific situation!"
Cao Xiaoda's voice was already a bit harsh. He was Yuchi Jiong's old subordinate, and he was much older than Yuchishun. It could almost be said that he had watched Yuchishun grow up, so when he spoke at this time, he was speaking from the perspective of an elder to a younger person.
Tone.
Yu Chishun frowned. He also knew that he was already a little anxious at this time. After Cao Xiaoda deliberately lowered his voice to give him face as the commander, he could only hold his hands and listen quietly to Cao Xiaoda's instructions.
"Generally, it does, but it doesn't happen for a few moments or even an hour at night. This is why my subordinates did not come directly to report. After all, the general is marching in the remaining mountains of Micang Mountain. The mountains are covering up, and I want to find the general in time.
It's not that easy." The battle leader also vaguely realized that something was not going well and said hurriedly.
Cao Xiaoda nodded slightly: "Go, send more scouts, be sure to contact the general, and tell the general to be careful, Li Xingchen is very likely to attack him."
"This..." The battle leader was startled for a moment, then hurriedly raised his hand and said, "No!"
Seeing several generals turn around and leave in a sensible manner, Cao Xiaoda turned around and said, "Major General, after all, this is just our speculation. Such behavior of the Major General will only make the people below more panic. What's more, Major General, don't forget.
There are thousands of soldiers and horses on the general's side, and the general is not someone who underestimates the enemy, so even if Li Xingchen really wants to plot against him, it will not be easy to succeed."
Yu Chishun scratched his head in embarrassment: "Uncle Cao's words are reasonable, but his actions were inappropriate for a while."
"The young general can have such thoughts, and the general will be moved by the young general's filial piety if he knows it." Cao Xiaoda said hurriedly, "The young general just needs to pay attention next time, and there is no need to blame himself like this. I had no choice but to do it just now. There are many places where the young general is verbally criticized, so the young general should be kept out of sight."
Seeing Cao Xiaoda bowing as he spoke, Yuchishun hurriedly stepped forward to help Cao Xiaoda: "Uncle Cao really wants to kill someone!"
Cao Xiaoda followed Yu Chishun's strength and stood up. The two looked at each other and both smiled.
——————————————————-
The checkpoint on Luofeng Slope is called a checkpoint, which actually blocks the road with a deer village. After all, the road is not wide. As long as you use crossbowmen to shoot at the base from behind, it will be difficult for the enemy to attack.
Moreover, the main purpose of setting up this level is to alert the Mianzhu Pass not far away at the foot of the mountain. More than 20 people are enough to guard it.
But Zou Qiang never expected that Pei Zilie actually planned to launch a strong attack.
Arrows whizzed past Luzhai, and Zheng Kaiyuan took the lead in charging forward with a shield in hand.
What this kind of attack is all about is surprise and a rush. Once the defenders come to their senses, there really is no chance.
"Be careful!" A Northern Zhou soldier fell down after being hit by an arrow, and the rest of the Northern Zhou soldiers who were resting also came to their senses and hurriedly picked up their weapons and stepped forward. Zheng Kaiyuan in front had already rushed to the side of Luzhai and saw a The soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty rushed forward with their spears drawn, and he waved his hand without hesitation.
The crossbowman who followed behind him quickly pulled the trigger of the crossbow, and the arrow hit the soldier's chest accurately. Zheng Kaiyuan did not hesitate, casually dropped his shield, held the knife in both hands, and struck down hard!
The Luzhai was actually made of branches and canes. It shook violently when the knife was struck, and many branches were broken directly. The soldiers behind also stepped forward to help, and quickly chopped the Luzhai clean or moved it away. .
A Northern Zhou crossbowman who had come to his senses took the lead in releasing an arrow, and the arrow pierced Zheng Kaiyuan's chest with a "pop" sound.
Zheng Kaiyuan took a deep breath, reached out and broke the arrow shaft, raised it up and shouted: "Brothers, kill!"
His own general rushed forward with his arrows, and the rest of the soldiers, their eyes red with bloodshed, rushed forward in large strides.
"Block!" Beizhou Zhuangjiang, who was in charge of commanding this level, said anxiously, but soon his figure was overwhelmed by countless Nanchen soldiers rushing up.
And Zheng Kaiyuan strode up to the top of Luofengpo, looking at the lush green mountains and Mianzhu Pass not far below the mountain, without saying a word.
Although Luofengpo was captured, how could Mianzhu Pass be so easy to defeat?
"Go and tell General Wu Yi that the enemies on Luofengpo have been cleared. Please let the general decide what to do next." Zheng Kaiyuan said in a low voice.
"General, your wound..." one of the guards said worriedly.
Looking down at the arrow shaft still remaining on his chest, Zheng Kaiyuan said nonchalantly: "Here, take it out with a knife. There is armor there, so it shouldn't be much in."
After saying that, Zheng Kaiyuan ignored the personal guards who came forward to remove his armor, and still stared closely at Mianzhu Pass not far away.
He believed that Pei Zilie must have a plan.
But is it really too late now?
After all, it's not just this battlefield involved.
