The sound of the horn sounded from the bottom of the mountain.
Pei Zilie sat on a stone on the mountainside, wiping his sword.
From here, you can clearly see the continuous Northern Zhou camp at the foot of the mountain. It has to be said that Wei Shou set off from Jiange late, but arrived very quickly. He must have originally wanted to have a surprise effect. But I am afraid Wei Shou did not expect it.
, while he was still walking halfway, fortresses such as Mianzhu Pass had already fallen into Pei Zilie's hands.
The fall of Mianzhu Pass meant that it was no longer possible for Wei Shou to go to Shu County through this road. At this time, it became meaningless to transfer troops to Langzhong or Yinping Trail. Therefore, Wei Shou simply stationed troops at Mianzhu Pass and directly opened up the battle to try.
storm.
Unlike the main body of defense facing Shu County in Guancheng, the main body of defense in Mianzhu Pass facing Jiange lies on Lutou Mountain on one side.
Three hundred years ago, Zhuge Zhan was guarding Mianzhu Pass. He did not pay attention to the defense of Lutou Mountain, but went down the mountain for a decisive battle. In the end, he died on the battlefield without waiting for Jiang Wei to come back. Obviously, Pei Zilie is not stupid now, he is just sitting there
On Lutou Mountain, I watched Wei Shou struggling at the foot of the mountain.
Wei Shou obviously also knew the importance of Lutou Mountain. It overlooked Mianzhuguan City and guarded the road from Luofengpo. It was a battleground, so Wei Shou simply set up the camp at the foot of the mountain.
He faced Pei Zilie straight away, and his intention to attack was already obvious.
After all, in most cases, facing such a strictly defended pass, there is really no other better option besides a strong attack. What's more, Wei Shou originally had an advantage in military strength, which was not much better than that of Pei Zilie, who was not much stronger than Zou Qiang at that time.
, so a strong attack is not a bad idea.
"General, you are quite calm." Xu Deyan couldn't help but smile as he looked at the Northern Zhou army that had begun to form formation at the foot of the mountain.
Pei Zilie picked up his sword, looked at his cheek reflected on the sharp sword spine, and said with a smile: "Now that he has made a decision in his heart, there is nothing to chat with Wei Shou. If he wants
To attack, just let your horse come over."
Pei Zilie deployed defenses layer by layer on the mountainside and top of the mountain, as well as on the top of Guancheng. There was no shortage of equipment and equipment for defending the city in Mianzhu Guanzhong. Naturally, Pei Zilie used them without hesitation and deployed them on various defense lines. Therefore, although Zou Qiang's subordinates were not counted,
Among the surrendered soldiers, Pei Zilie's troops were not many, but they were not without the strength to fight.
Since everything was fully prepared, Pei Zilie naturally had nothing to be nervous about.
"General, report on the battle from Shu County." A scout came quickly.
Pei Zilie and Xu Deyan raised their eyebrows at the same time, this was what they were interested in and worried about.
"The city has been under siege for five days," Pei Zilie glanced at it and handed the battle report to Xu Deyan, "I have to say that the defenders of Shu County are stronger than I thought."
"Once the news is confirmed that Mianzhu Pass has been taken by us, I'm afraid they won't be so strong," Xu Deyan said in a deep voice, "The feeling of being a Jedi in an isolated city is not pleasant, not to mention that Chen Zhishen and Wang Chang are not vegetarians.
The division's warships parked in the inner river of the Pi River and directly attacked the city. It is not that easy to defend Shu County."
Sometimes a bigger city is not necessarily a good thing. A bigger city means that more troops are needed to defend the city. Of course, there are more defensive equipment and bows and arrows. Obviously, the defenders in Shu County are not enough.
Guarding this huge city, once Chen Zhishen and Wang Chang found the weakness, they could easily open a gap in the city's defense and invade the city.
After all, it is impossible for the defenders to cover everything. The key is whether Chen Zhishen and others have the ability to find the inevitable weaknesses in their troops.
Of course, these are things Pei Zilie and Xu Deyan have no way to care about. They are far away in Mianzhu Pass and cannot judge the war situation in Shu County. They can only pin their hopes on Chen Zhishen and others.
"The Jedi in the Lonely City..." Pei Zilie repeated the word gently, frowning slightly.
Xu Deyan knew what Pei Zilie was worried about and subconsciously looked to the east.
In Langzhong and Tiangongyuan Mountain, the situation faced by Li Xingchen's lone army is probably no better than that of the Shu County defenders.
There is no doubt that Li Xingchen is the one who takes on the most arduous task in this battle.
The trumpet sound sounded again, and the Northern Zhou army at the foot of the mountain formed a neat array and slowly advanced forward. At the same time, the crossbowmen on both wings could be seen in formation, ready to shoot arrows at the mountain at any time.
Pei Zilie slowly stood up and said in a deep voice: "There is no use worrying about Shu County and Tiangongyuan. We can only fight the battle in front of us beautifully first."
As he said that, Pei Zilie walked quickly towards the big tent of the mountainside camp: "Send the order, all ministries prepare for war, raise a certain general's flag!"
Xu Deyan quickly followed Pei Zilie and subconsciously glanced down the mountain.
I have long heard that Wei Shou's general Men Huzi was a rare general with prudent tactics. This time I want to see if he lives up to his reputation!

"Boqing, Zidong." Li Xingchen strode into the meeting hall and said hello to Xiao Shilian and Dai Cai, who were discussing something in a low voice.
When the two saw Li Xinchen walking in, they hurriedly bowed and saluted. When they raised their heads, Xiao Shilian keenly saw the wet marks on Li Xinchen's clothes and shoulders, and sighed softly in his heart. Dai Cai said guiltily:
"My subordinates really couldn't stop the obsession of the two ladies, so I had no choice but to escort the two ladies here and ask the two generals to forgive me."
Li Xingchen chuckled lightly: "I'm here as soon as I come. I know your difficulties well, so there is no need to feel guilty. My sister-in-law is naughty and my wife is stubborn, which makes Zidong laugh."
Dai Cai was born as a general, and there weren't many confidants in Li Xingchen's group. In other words, most people he couldn't offend easily, so facing Li Lian'er and Xiao Xiang, I'm afraid even
Xiao Shilian and his ilk have to think about it, let alone Dai Cai.
What's more, it would not be a bad thing to take this opportunity to gain a favor from the two ladies. Dai Cai also knew this. Li Xingchen and Xiao Shilian both loved their wives, and it would be a good idea to gain a good reputation in their inner room.
His future career will be very beneficial.
Xiao Shilian glanced at Dai Cai, he was also a smart man.
However, when I thought about it, I was able to keenly sense Li Xinchen's ability, and as the first of the Bajun guards to join him, and later to be loyal to Li Xinchen, this man really had some vision and brains.
Li Xingchen had no time to chat with Xiao Shilian and Dai Caiduo, and looked directly at the sand table that had just been made in the meeting hall. Compared with the sand table in Bajun that covered most of the mountains and rivers of Bashu, this sand table only included Tiangongyuan Mountain. Naturally,
It's much simpler.
At the foot of the mountain to the north, Li Xingchen could see many small green flags, and he couldn't help but frown slightly: "Wei Xiaokuan and Yuchi came very quickly."
"We are still just scouts now, but there are a lot of them, so we can clearly see our defense line." Xiao Shilian explained.
