Since Lutou Mountain and Mianzhu Pass can be called natural dangers, they naturally have their own dangers. Although Pei Zilie did not have many soldiers and horses, he knew that as long as he controlled a few key points, he would be able to hold on.
Despite Wei Shou's rapid attack in the past two days, in fact the Northern Zhou army's offensive method of heaping human lives did not really shake Pei Zilie's overall defense system. At least the defense line on the mountainside has not been broken yet, and behind the mountainside there is the top of the mountain, the top of the mountain
After that, there is the main city of Mianzhu Pass. Even if Pei Zilie retreats step by step in order to preserve his strength, Wei Shou will need at least seven or eight days to completely capture these places.
"General, it's too dangerous to rush into battle. You all go over and be sure to protect the general!" Xu Deyan quickly walked up to a rock. From here, he could clearly see the soldiers and horses of both sides fighting back and forth not far away, and he saw Pei Zilie at a glance.
The figure hurriedly waved his hand.
He knew that he did not have the ability to pull Pei Zilie back in this situation, not to mention that there were many gaps on the front that were attacked by the enemy, so Pei Zilie's presence was still necessary. In the end, they still suffered from the same force.
It's not enough, so we can only rely on the generals to fight forward to boost morale.
"Report, Chief Secretary, Langzhong Army Report!" A messenger came quickly.
"Langzhong?" Xu Deyan was startled for a moment, and then he came back to his senses. They had been fighting bloody battles for the past two days, and even last night when the enemy turned on the lights to attack, in order to stabilize the position, even Xu Deyan led his team to the front, and they had already been killed.
I was dizzy, and when I suddenly heard the word Langzhong, I felt a little dazed for a moment.
He anxiously took the military newspaper, opened it and took a look at it. Xu Deyan frowned slightly.
Wei Xiaokuan and Yuchi Jiong on the Langzhong side have already launched their battle formation, which means that there is less and less time left for the Shu County side.
Although Xu Deyan believed in Li Xinchen, he also knew that Tiangongyuan was not as dangerous as Mianzhu Pass, so if this battle really started, Li Xinchen might not even be able to last as long as Pei Zilie.
"Kill!" The sound of killing became louder not far away, and the sound of Jin Jin retreating was heard in the Northern Zhou army, while the Nanchen soldiers jumped down from the wall of the stronghold to chase down the retreating enemies.
As Pei Zilie waved the flag, the Nanchen soldiers who had rushed out for more than ten steps stopped at the same time. The next moment, the Northern Zhou crossbowmen had turned around and fired arrows, and the arrows roared into the crowd. Fortunately, it was early.
As expected, Nanchen's swordsmen and shieldmen were at the front, with arrows hitting their faces. They then raised their shields to cover the infantry and retreated slowly.
"Repair the wall and collect the corpses!" Pei Zilie did not rush out after him. He still knew what he should and shouldn't do, so he immediately gave the decisive order. At the same time, he turned around and saw Xu Deyan, who was looking down at the battle report and thinking about it. He knew that there must be something.
Something happened, come over quickly.
Handing the battle report to Pei Zilie, Xu Deyan said in a deep voice: "General, once a fight breaks out at Tiangongyuan, the gap in the strength of the two sides will be here. Although the general Dang Kou has always been clever and clever, he really got into this kind of bloody defensive battle.
I'm afraid there's nothing we can do, and now the rhythm of the entire battlefield is bound to fall into the hands of Wei Xiaokuan and Yuchi Jiong, so we must make preparations early."
Pei Zilie nodded slightly, slowly closed the battle report, and looked at the hillside full of corpses.
This battle was more difficult than he imagined. Wei Shou had obviously received a death order from Wei Xiaokuan. This attack could be said to be sparing no effort, and it could even be said that human lives were needed to fill a path.
It is conceivable that the battle situation at Tiangongyuan is not much easier than here, not to mention that Wei Xiaokuan and Yuchi Jiong have a real military advantage over Li Xinchen, and it is actually difficult for Li Xinchen to get any benefits from them.
Therefore, in addition to thinking about the immediate situation, Pei Zilie also needs to consider Shu County and Tiangongyuan. If Tiangongyuan falls before Shu County is captured, then Pei Zilie will have to prepare to retreat. Otherwise, when Wei Xiaokuan attacks Shishan County, Pei Zilie will be completely defeated.
The retreat was cut off, and even Chen Zhishen, who was surrounding Shu County, could not escape.
Retreating is not so easy, at least the Wei Shou in front of him will definitely not let him leave easily from Mianzhu Pass.
"General!" Another messenger came quickly, "Shu County battle report!"
Pei Zilie's hand trembled slightly, and Xu Deyan reached out anxiously to grab it. Suddenly realizing that this seemed inappropriate, he hurriedly opened it and handed it to Pei Zilie.
"The water gate of Shu County has been breached. The navy has repeatedly attacked the city but was repulsed. Now the war is at a stalemate." Pei Zilie glanced at it and already had a general understanding of the situation. He said in a deep voice, "It seems that this Shu County cannot be conquered in a day or two.
Take it down."
Shujun City was Chengdu, the capital of the Shu Han Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period. The city is high and deep, and there are inner and outer cities. Even if the outer city is captured, the defenders can still rely on the inner city to hold on for a day or two, not to mention the current navy.
Even the broken city was repulsed, which shows that the defenders' will is still very tenacious.
"General, there is no need to worry. Since we can break through, there will definitely be a chance. The enemy cannot repulse our attacks endlessly again and again." Xu Deyan gritted his teeth and said, "Now it's just a competition of wills."
In fact, how could Xu Deyan think so, Li Xingchen, Chen Zhishen, or even Wei Shou at the foot of the mountain not think so?
In the final analysis, this battle between Bashu and Bashu is about who can seize the opportunity and who can persevere to the end!
Pei Zilie nodded slightly, and the drums sounded again at the foot of the mountain. Xu Deyan looked over almost subconsciously. He knew without thinking that Wei Shou would definitely launch the next attack. Xu Deyan immediately handed over his hand: "Come down to the front to supervise the battle. General, please think about it.
How to reply to General Dang Kou and General Chen..."
Raising his hand to stop Xu Deyan, Pei Zilie said in a deep voice: "It's enough for me to supervise the battle. You can reply to the letter and tell Shizhong that Mianzhu Pass can be defended for another seven days. After seven days, everything will be unspeakable. Then tell Chen Zhishen
, Mianzhu and Tiangongyuan’s support is limited, so he must hurry up.”
"General——" Xu Deyan was a little worried. After all, Pei Zilie had been fighting fiercely in front for a day, and he was also afraid that something unexpected would happen.
"I'm fine, I can still hold on." Pei Zilie smiled, "Also, tell Zheng Kaiyuan in Guancheng to be more vigilant!"
He was about to say something else, but Xu Deyan stopped talking and solemnly handed over his hand: "No!"
Making a gesture to reassure Xu Deyan, Pei Zilie raised his sword and waved: "Let's go, brothers, kill the barbarians!"
Looking at Pei Zilie's back, Xu Deyan clenched the two battle reports in his hands.
Tiangongyuan, Mianzhu Pass, and Shu County are all linked together, and they are the three most deadly places on the chessboard of the Bashu war.
Those who gain it live, those who lose it die.
And now in this chess game, how can it not be a man's ambition?
