The old general had not had much water and rice in the past few days and was worried about the outcome of the war. He was already strong enough to have persisted for so long. Now he suddenly knew that he had just been deceived by Li Xingchen. Of course, he was so angry that he couldn't hold it back.
Yuchi shun carried his father on his back and walked out of the valley: "Quickly, find a place with less wind and call all the doctors and craftsmen in the army. Dad... if something happens to the general, they will wait
Come on!"
Fei Ye Jinli shook his head to wake himself up - he had been following Yu Chi Jiong for the past two days, but he was young after all, and was much better off than Yu Chi Jiong. At least he was not ready for the cruel reality in front of him.
It's acceptable.
Just when Fei Ye Jinli was about to follow Captain Chi Shun, Cao Xiaoda grabbed him and said, "Brother Fei, just let the Major General and the doctor go over. You and I don't want to cause trouble in front of you. Next.
How to arrange the arrangement of this army, the old general may not be able to recover for a while, and we still need to discuss it with the young general and you."
Fei Yejinli was slightly startled and nodded solemnly.
While Cao Xiaoda ordered the soldiers to put down the food and water they brought, he took out the dry food from his arms and handed it to Fei Yejinli. He also took a piece and took a bite, and then reached out and tapped on the map:
"I'm afraid Li Xingchen doesn't intend to defend Panlong County City!"
————————————————
Although the cold wind is blowing, the Tiangongyuan Mountain is in full swing. The grain, grass and baggage collected from Panlong County are gathered here, and the grain, grass and equipment transferred from the rear are also reorganized here, especially those that have been dismantled for transportation.
The city-defending crossbows and trebuchets, etc., all need to be reassembled under the guidance of Ouyang Mo and other craftsmen.
The walls of some houses in Tiangongyuan Mountain that were previously damaged by the war have also been repaired, and according to Li Xingchen's plan, more defensive measures were built on the north side facing Panlong County City, especially a few relatively flat ones.
On the hillside, there are many deer villages, and ditches are winding along the hillside.
Although he didn't know why Li Xingchen arranged so many trenches, Xiao Shilian, who arrived at Tiangongyuan Mountain first and was responsible for presiding over the defense, was still very happy to dig out the trenches according to the general idea that Li Xingchen had stated to him before.
.
When anyone had any objections to this, Xiao Shilian simply moved Li Xingchen out, and the generals could only nod helplessly. After all, Li Xingchen always had all kinds of fantastic ideas that no one could understand, and the facts
It proves that there is nothing wrong with this way of thinking. Since Li Xingchen insists that it is feasible, then everyone should just follow the script.
Therefore, when Li Xingchen led the last main force to retreat to the mountain, he saw the trench fortifications on the hillside and nodded with satisfaction. He had no way to really explain his intentions clearly. After all, this was not the military thinking of the era at all. Li Xingchen
It is impossible to expect these generals, who may not even have read a few military books, to realize that they are no longer the way of thinking of this era. He only needs to let everyone establish confidence in himself.
As for how much role this trench can play, Li Xingchen actually didn't have much idea in his mind. After all, the era of cold weapons was different from the era of hot weapons. However, Li Xingchen also knew that with his small military strength, he wanted to really win the battle in Tiangongyuan Mountain.
Blocking the attack of the Northern Zhou army would be a bit wishful thinking, so it is better to put out all these military thinking that are "incompatible" with this era. "Treating a dead horse" is sometimes a good choice.
But before Li Xingchen reached the meeting hall on the top of the mountain, his face darkened.
"Brother!" Li Lian'er, who was dressed in military uniform and looked quite dashing like a female general, waved excitedly to Li Xingchen, "I finally see you!"
Li Xingchen immediately looked his sister up and down in surprise: "Didn't I ask you to protect your sister-in-law and stay in Shishan County? Why are you here?!"
At this time, Xiao Shilian also heard Li Xingchen's voice and walked out of the meeting hall. With him was Dai Cai, who was escorting the last batch of grain, grass and equipment from Shishan County.
Because Dai Cai was a general from Bajun, Li Xingchen did not let Dai Cai participate in the frontal war this time, but asked him to coordinate in the rear. After all, many local generals and officials in Bashu still need a familiar person to guide them.
Yes, Dai Cai, who has a good reputation and connections, is obviously a good choice.
But now everything is on track, and Dai Cai himself can't hold himself back. After all, how can coordinating these food and equipment in the rear compare to charging on the front line?
So Dai Cai asked himself to escort grain and equipment to Tiangongyuan Mountain. Li Xingchen understood what he meant and did not refuse this time. Although Xiao Shilian and Cao Zhong were both there, the battle of Tiangongyuan was destined to be the most difficult thing Li Xingchen was about to face.
The battle is brutal, so it might not be a bad thing if one more person comes.
The generals under his command were already stretched thin, and Li Xingchen had no intention of wasting resources.
But it was obvious that Li Xingchen's attention at this time was not on Xiao Shilian and Dai Cai. The sudden appearance of Li Lian'er made him very angry.
Previously, Li Lian'er and Xiao Xiang insisted on accompanying Li Xingchen on the expedition. Li Xingchen didn't say anything about this. He just asked them to stay in Shishan County after taking Shishan County. From here, they can go to various war zones forward and retreat backward.
, considered safe.
However, Li Xingchen didn't expect that Li Lian'er would actually come to Tiangongyuan Mountain. Since Li Lian'er has arrived, it goes without saying that Xiao Xiang must have come too. This girl looks soft and weak, but the tenacity in her heart is Li Xingchen.
It is clear that it is absolutely impossible for Li Lian'er to come to this most dangerous frontline alone.
Noticing that her brother's face looked strange, Li Lian'er said hurriedly: "Brother, don't I miss you? Moreover, my sister-in-law is here too. She is waiting for brother in the backyard."
"Nonsense!" Li Xingchen raised his eyebrows. He originally wanted to scold him, but when he saw Li Lian'er's pitiful eyes, he could only hold back.
And Xiao Shilian sighed softly in his heart. When Li Lian'er appeared, he didn't have the same idea as Li Xingchen. He made a gesture to Dai Cai, stepped forward and grabbed Li Xingchen's sleeve: "Okay
Shizhong, since the person has already arrived, can you still drive him away? Lian'er is indeed reckless this time, but..."
Li Lian'er nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Xiao Shilian's point of view.
And Li Xingchen glanced at Xiao Shilian... You are a strict wife, how can you be like you?
But he also knew what Xiao Shilian meant. Now that everyone was here, it would be unrealistic to chase them away. Then the girl in front of him would have the courage to draw a sword and put it on her neck.
"Zidong, let me make you laugh. I just happened to have brought back some soldiers and horses. You go and take a look at them first. I have some things that need to be dealt with." Li Xingchen turned around and looked at Dai Cai.
