Five hundred and thirteenth chapters planted seeds
Standing on the observatory on the east side of Tiangongyuan, Li Xingchen could clearly see the battle situation at the bottom of the mountain.
At this time, the observatory has long lost its usual appearance of observing stars and worshiping the sky. It has an open map, a sand table of Tiangongyuan Mountain that was moved out, as well as messengers and scouts coming and going, and props to protect it from wind and rain.
The shed turned the observatory into another large marching tent.
"Yu Chijiong is attacking my left wing from the northwest, and Wei Xiaokuan is attacking my right wing from the southeast. These two people have a clear division of labor," Xiao Shilian squinted slightly and looked at the Northern Zhou army gathering under two hills not far away, and couldn't help but say.
Although the Northern Zhou army uniformly used cyan flags - the Northern Zhou Dynasty was still woody, cyan was its national color, and Xiao Shilian's eyesight was not good enough to see every flag under the mountain when he was standing on this mountain, but he could see clearly
The turbans of the soldiers on both sides are different.
Yuchi Jiong's soldiers and horses are all stationed in Xiangyang, and they all wear orange turbans, while Wei Xiaokuan's soldiers and horses are mobilized from the northern border and the capital, and most of them are blue with the same flag. Therefore, standing on the mountain and looking at it, it can really be called
It can be said that "Jingwei is clearly distinguished".
According to Li Xingchen's previous assumptions, if Yuchi Jiong and Wei Xiaokuan brought in troops at the same time, there would inevitably be conflicts or even quarrels, which might even cause chaos in the army. However, it seems that both sides did not follow Li Xingchen's script. Yuchi Jiong and Wei Xiaokuan respectively
Attacking from two directions, the two armies have been separated.
Li Xingchen sneered: "How do you know there is really no conflict between them?"
Xiao Shilian was startled for a moment, and Li Xingchen pointed at the foot of the mountain: "Look for yourself, these two groups of people, it is obvious that Yuchi Jiong does not have any large equipment, what does it mean? And you also know the news from the scouts, Yuchi before
Jiong and Wei Xiaokuan have always been each other's strongholds, but since yesterday they have separated and the distance between the two strongholds has widened. Why do you think it is?"
When Li Xingchen said this, Xiao Shilian didn't know how to answer. Before, he simply thought that this was to facilitate the attack, so that the camp would be closer to the hills where they were attacking. However, according to what Li Xingchen said, it seemed that the reason was not his own.
It's as simple as imagined.
Yuchi Jiong came with light troops and did not carry much baggage. Therefore, the siege equipment was also improvised and there must not be much more. Wei Xiaokuan's army was marching, so he naturally carried a lot of equipment.
Naturally, there is an obvious difference when comparing the quantities.
It shows that Wei Xiaokuan is not even willing to provide some equipment to Yuchi Jiong to make the opponent's attack go more smoothly, in other words, to make the entire Tiangongyuan war go more smoothly. Then there must be some conflicts between the two sides, but Yuchi Jiong and Wei Xiaokuan are not willing to do so.
The two battlefield veterans had realized this and started to avoid it.
Thinking of this, Xiao Shilian's face suddenly showed a relaxed look. If Li Xingchen said so, then the battle in front of him would not be as difficult as imagined.
"Whether Wei Xiaokuan or Wei Chijiong, they run the army strictly and the soldiers are convinced," Li Xingchen said carefully, "so the most likely reason for the quarrel is because of the struggle for command between Yuchijiong and Wei Xiaokuan, which is also the most likely to cause conflicts.
, but judging from the fact that these two people can launch an attack together, at least the two of them are relatively calm. The quarrel must have been between the young generals. After all, neither Wei Chijun's son Wei Chishun nor Wei Xiaokuan's He Lou Ziqian.
He is steady and reserved, so it would be strange if there would be no conflicts after we really meet him."
Xiao Shilian was a little frustrated and snorted: "You are so ups and downs, you didn't say anything."
Li Xingchen chuckled lightly and looked at the battle situation at the foot of the mountain: "Sometimes after planting the seeds, no one can stop the seeds from taking root and sprouting again. Not Yuchi Jiong, not Wei Xiaokuan."
Startled for a moment, Xiao Shilian glanced at Li Xingchen and shuddered subconsciously.
"Let's see who becomes the king of Bashu and who is defeated." Li Xunchen slowly turned around and said, "Instruct Li Xun and Du Qi to block the grain and grass supplies that harass Micang Mountain and Cangxi Valley."
After saying that, Li Xingchen glanced at Xiao Shilian again: "Boqing, do you think that when one of the two armies is out of food, will they ask for help from the other?"
Xiao Shilian raised his eyebrows and tried to follow Li Xingchen's train of thought, but Li Xingchen said coldly: "Yu Chijiong and Wei Xiaokuan are so deliberate in avoiding each other that they have no choice but to 'help' them."

"Charge up, hurry up!" a Northern Zhou war leader shouted and walked forward quickly. He didn't know why the enemy wanted to set up another deer camp in front of the trench, but he knew that no matter what the reason was, as long as he could keep his feet on the ground, If you rush to the front of the deer village, you will win. It is difficult for the enemies in front of and behind the ditch to threaten them to cross the deer village.
As for the damage caused by the opponent's crossbowmen, the leader didn't think that hundreds of crossbowmen could have any impact on an attacking team of thousands of people. Arrows whizzed past, and people kept falling after being hit by arrows. But more Northern Zhou soldiers were charging forward against the rain of arrows, holding their shields.
However, when they were ten feet away from Luzhai, the leader suddenly felt that his feet were empty and seemed to have lost some point of strength. Then he screamed and fell directly into another ditch covered with straw.
Smoke and dust were everywhere, screams were heard, and no one knew how many people fell in. It can only be said that the disguise made by Nanchen's army was really good.
This trench is actually only half a person's height, but the bottom of the trench is already covered with barbs. If a person falls in, he will be nailed to the ground directly. The barbs pierce the body, penetrate the flesh and blood, and come out, and then meet the next person who is caught off guard. The person who fell in.
The hundreds of Northern Zhou soldiers who were charging in front almost fell into this trench that was not deep but long enough at the same time. The people behind them stopped one after another, but the soldiers behind them who were still moving forward had no idea what was happening in front of them. What, directly pushing the companions in front, making these companions have to throw themselves into the trench even if they are unwilling.
The screams of bamboo thorns piercing the body were heard endlessly. At this time, the Northern Zhou commander and generals who led the team to follow up realized that something was wrong, but when they came to their senses, the entire trench was already full of people. Corpse.
"Dong dong dong!" At this moment, earth-shattering drums suddenly came from the Nanchen army waiting in front. A team of spearmen passed through the unfolded shields, and pieces of planks were also put down. Set up on the trench.
These spearmen had obviously rehearsed for a long time. At this time, they ran quickly across the wooden planks and rushed directly to the back of the first row of deer villages. The spears in their hands were suddenly flat.
