"My subordinates and General Xiao were discussing this matter just now," Dai Cai said in a deep voice. "The defense of Tiangongyuan Mountain was first arranged by Guo Liang of the Zhou Kingdom. My subordinates felt that the Zhou people could not have no information, and
Wei Xiaokuan dispatched scouts on such a large scale and was not afraid of alerting the enemy, so he obviously wanted to get to know us thoroughly and then attack us by force."
Xiao Shilian echoed: "Compared with the Xihe River in the south of the mountain that can be detoured, the north of the mountain faces Langzhong directly, and there are not many roads up the mountain. The only gap that can really be considered is the Zhoujiaping area where a certain person once led his army. However, that area is wide open
, if we march, our whereabouts will be exposed, so it is unlikely that the enemy will attack in a roundabout way from Zhoujiaping."
When Li Xingchen attacked Tiangongyuan, he mainly figured out what Guo Liang was thinking, attacked in the east and west, and lured Guo Liang to switch troops, thus finding an opportunity. The mountain in the north of Tiangongyuan Mountain is steeper, and there are no roads up the mountain.
With so many people, it is of course impossible to give Wei Xiaokuan another chance to attack the east and attack the west.
"Strong attack..." Li Xingchen nodded slightly.
Wei Xiaokuan had the advantage of troops, so a force attack was undoubtedly the best and fastest option. Li Xingchen was good at using surprises, so he was not worried about Wei Xiaokuan's various detours and harmonious attacks from the east to the west. What he was really worried about was Wei Xiaokuan's force attack at all costs, exchanging lives for lives.
.
After all, Li Xingchen didn't have as many lives in his hands as Wei Xiaokuan, so he couldn't afford this exchange.
Thinking of this, Li Xingchen could only sigh secretly in his heart.
With so many soldiers and horses, when can I feel like I can do whatever I want?
Xiao Shilian did not notice the change in Li Xingchen's expression, and solemnly nodded: "A strong attack is undoubtedly the best choice."
Li Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the sand table. The defense line of the entire Tiangongyuan was actually very simple. The two protruding mountains in the northwest and southeast blocked the enemy's direct attack on the main peak camp. Therefore, Wei Xiaokuan would definitely give priority to attacking the left and right sides.
Considering that the road up the mountain on the main peak is quite wide, it is not easy to block it, so Li Xingchen's defense lines are mainly arranged on the left and right sides of the mountain.
Including various traps, trenches and deer villages, Xiao Shilian and Dai Cai almost built these two hills into two fortresses according to Li Xingchen's requirements to guard the road up the mountain.
Reaching out and tapping on the mountains on both sides, Li Xingchen said in a deep voice: "The focus of guarding the Tiangong Courtyard lies in these two places. If the outer line is lost, then we can only rely on the main peak to defend. I believe you all know how the main peak camp is. Now Cao Cao
Zhong is already on the left, so there is only one hill left on the right..."
Li Xunchen didn't say much, but turned to look at Xiao Shilian and Dai Cai. Li Xun is still coordinating the scouts at Jiange, while Du Qi is gradually retreating in Micang Mountain. Of course, both of them are from Ba people, even if
Even if they were here, it was impossible for Li Xingchen to let them serve as the commander-in-chief of one side. After all, it would be difficult for these Han soldiers to be willing to obey the orders of a Ba people general.
Therefore, the only people Li Xingchen could use around him were Dai Cai and Xiao Shilian.
Xiao Shilian almost subconsciously wanted to speak, but Dai Cai beat him to it: "Let me go ahead."
Then he raised his hand to Xiao Shilian: "General Xiao, it is better to leave the life-saving matter of defending the top of the mountain to your subordinates. In the future, there will be wars on the main peak and counterattacks that need General Xiao to preside over, so General Xiao should not fight with the end of the mountain."
The general will rob him."
Xiao Shilian originally wanted to say something, but at this time he could only smile slightly and return the favor.
And Li Xingchen nodded: "Remember not to stick to one line of defense. Neither Wei Xiaokuan nor Yu Chijun are easy people. There is no guarantee that they will not make detours or attack in a roundabout way. Therefore, simply guarding a line of defense can easily give the enemy an opportunity."
Dai Cai nodded hurriedly. At this time, he also understood why Li Xingchen had to build layers of defense lines even if he did not have enough troops, because in this way he could quickly retreat to the second line of defense after breaking through the first line of defense. At the same time, the second line of defense was
Being at a higher point on the previous line of defense, you can easily form a commanding advantage over the previous line of defense.
Li Xinchen is indeed still the same Li Xinchen who is good at defense.
Xiao Shilian also understood at this time and punched fiercely: "As long as we can use these two mountains to hold Wei Xiaokuan back, then when Wei Xiaokuan's troops are exhausted and his morale is low, we can take advantage of the situation to attack and defeat him in one fell swoop!
"
Li Xinchen and Dai Cai looked at each other, Dai Cai showed a wry smile, but Li Xinchen's expression only became a little more serious.
It can only be said that what Xiao Shilian said was the best possibility, and it was also Li Xingchen's idea. But everything can't go as planned, especially when they face such a difficult enemy. Therefore, at least based on the current situation, this is nothing more than "wishful thinking"
”.
"If Shu County can fall into our hands, it is not impossible." Li Xingchen murmured next.
"What?" Xiao Shilian didn't hear clearly.
"Someone is saying that this battle will be won!" Li Xingchen raised his voice, "It's not too late, let's prepare ourselves."
Dai Cai and Xiao Shilian solemnly raised their hands at the same time: "I obey!"
Dai Cai turned around and left first, while Li Xingchen reached out to stop Xiao Shilian: "Bo Qing, besides that, please spend more time with Lian'er."
Looking at the expression on Li Xingchen's face again, Xiao Shilian's smile gradually dissipated: "What does this sentence mean? Do you really think this battle..."
"The situation of the enemy is unknown, so I am worried." Li Xingchen said calmly.
Xiao Shilian nodded slightly: "I understand."
——————————————————-
"This Li Xingchen really plans to defend the Tiangong Courtyard, just like the hedgehogs who manage this mountain." Wei Xiaokuan looked at the sketch sent by the scout and couldn't help but sigh. From the sketch, you can see the layers of deer villages on the mountain.
We know what is behind Luzhai, but we can certainly imagine that there are traps.
In order to obtain this sketch, the scouts under Wei Xiaokuan suffered heavy casualties. After all, the people under Li Xinchen were not vegetarians, and I don't know how Li Xinchen managed to win over such a group of people.
At this time, Yu Chijiong was squinting at the mountains in the distance. From where they set up camp, they could already vaguely see the outline of the Tiangongyuan Mountain. Wei Xiaokuan and Yuchi Jiong didn't know what preparations Li Xingchen had, so they did not push the camp directly to the mountain.
At the bottom of the mountain, it is enough to see the mountain from here.
Hearing Wei Xiaokuan's sigh behind him, Yuchi Jiong said in a deep voice: "Securing this mountain can delay time for Shu County. It is reasonable for Li Xingchen to arrange this."
Wei Xiaokuan was silent for a moment and sighed softly: "It's a pity that such a young talent did not appear in our Da Zhou. Otherwise, Da Zhou would sweep the world, wouldn't it have another boost?"
