The flames illuminated half of the battlefield, and the hillside was littered with corpses.
Wei Xiaokuan's and Yuchi Jiong's troops attacked desperately for a day, breaking through two lines of defense carefully arranged by Li Xingchen, and finally almost pushed Cao Zhong and Dai Cai down the mountain. If Li Xingchen and Xiao Shilian hadn't arrived in time with reinforcements, I'm afraid the war would have been raging now.
It has burned to the main peak.
The tired soldiers in the trench were sleeping with their swords in their arms, while the generals patrolling back and forth almost subconsciously slowed down, fearing that one of their own movements would wake up these brothers.
"General!" Dai Cai shook his head to dispel his sleepiness, and walked quickly to meet Li Xingchen, a little surprised, "General, why are you here? This is the front line, it is too dangerous!"
As he spoke, Dai Cai looked at Li Ping next to him. After all, this guy was Li Pingchen's personal guard captain. How could he have no sense of safety at all?
Li Ping also waved his hands in aggrieved manner. He could hold back Li Xingchen's stubborn temper no matter what he wanted. To say that Xiao Shilian was not afraid of heaven and earth, but he was still afraid of his wife. Li Xingchen was really audacious.
Yu Chijiong and Wei Xiaokuan at the foot of the mountain had never seen Li Xingchen afraid of anything.
And what he has decided is difficult to change.
Li Xingchen did not directly answer Dai Cai's question, but jumped directly into the trenches. These trenches were actually made by Li Xingchen by copying the theoretical concepts of positional warfare in later generations. The performance in today's actual combat is still good.
It is difficult for the arrows of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to directly and effectively kill the soldiers in the trenches, but the crossbowmen in the trenches can leisurely roam around and snipe the Northern Zhou generals who are leading the charge. More importantly, the trenches extend in all directions, and the criss-crossing trenches make sudden attacks easy.
The Northern Zhou soldiers who came up didn't know whether they should enter or not.
And the Nanchen soldiers who could rush out at any time made many Northern Zhou soldiers who were lucky enough to break through the arrows and Luzhai obstacles and rush to the ditch no room to fight back in their haste.
Of course, now that the war is temporarily over, this trench also gives the soldiers a natural opportunity to rest.
Without this trench, this battle with an outnumbered enemy would inevitably be more difficult. Dai Cai, Cao Zhong and other frontline generals knew this, so they were even more impressed by Li Xinchen's defensive skills.
But they didn't know that Li Xingchen actually just plagiarized the wisdom of countless military strategists for more than a thousand years. But on the other hand, this was the only thing Li Xingchen could rely on when facing opponents like Yuchi Jiong and Wei Xiaokuan.
Li Xingchen looked at a soldier who was sleeping soundly against the wall of the trench. The soldier looked to be no more than ten years old, and there were bloodstains on his face. It was obvious that he had experienced a fierce and tragic fight during the day. His knife
Holding it in his arms, holding the handle of the knife tightly, even in his sleep, his whole body was tense, and he would be awakened by any sound.
Li Xingchen sighed in his heart. He didn't know how long this war would last, but as long as the world was still divided between the north and the south, the war would never end. Whether it was for the lofty ideals of heroes or the boundless ambitions of politicians.
, this war can only end with the unification of the world.
He reached out and took off his cloak and covered the soldier. The soldier was frightened and opened his eyes. When he saw clearly that it was Li Xingchen and Dai Cai, he was startled: "General, the enemy is again
Coming up?"
And Li Xingchen stretched out his hand to hold his shoulders: "It's still early, and the enemy has to go to bed. I just don't want to worry about coming to see you. Come on, cover up. It's windy at night. Don't catch a cold."
The soldier nodded gratefully, but then firmly gave the cloak back to Li Xingchen: "General, this can't be done. The general is still patrolling the position in the middle of the night. My subordinates say that I can't take the general's cloak, so I still ask the general to put it on."
Li Xingchen chuckled lightly and did not refuse. He just raised his head and looked forward.
In the darkness, there was a bright light on the horizon not far away.
Several soldiers around him also heard the movement and opened their eyes in a daze. Li Xingchen said with a smile: "Are you afraid of seeing so many enemies?"
"General, I'm afraid of you. No matter how many and powerful they are, we wouldn't have killed them to pieces today. Even the fee-for-profit was shot by General Dai with an arrow. If his bodyguards hadn't snatched him away quickly,
I'm afraid everyone is here." A soldier couldn't help but muster up the courage to say, "If he dares to come again tomorrow, the brothers will leave him to the general."
"You're not a girl, what do you want him to do?" Li Xingchen laughed and scolded, "Can you eat and drink?!"
The soldiers looked at each other, and then laughed suppressedly. They did not expect that General Dang Kou would use vulgar words when he spoke, and he did not care at all about Fei Yejinli. The contempt between the lines hit the hearts of the soldiers.
Dai Cai and Li Ping also looked at each other and smiled.
Li Xingchen's voice was a little deeper, but it was no less steady and confident than before: "I believe that one day I will lead you to rush over, defeat them, kill the generals and capture the flag!"
Clenching his fists, Li Xingchen's eyes were particularly firm: "One day!"
"We believe in General!" The soldiers stood up one after another.
In the darkness, in the light of the fire, there are figures one after another, either thick or thin, but their faces with tired expressions have exceptionally pure and bright eyes.
————————————-
Li Xingchen strode into Dai Cai's camp on the hillside. In fact, it was more appropriately called a straw shack.
If you stand at the bottom of the mountain, it is actually difficult to find this shack, which is almost half hidden in the mountain. Moreover, the top of the shack has been specially reinforced. Even if a stone bullet hits it directly, it will shake off the dust.
This is actually the command system in the trench system copied by Li Xingchen. From the specially set aside observation hole, you can clearly see the situation on the outside front, whether it is Dai Cai or Cao Zhong on the other hill.
There is no need to risk the enemy's arrows and stone bullets to direct the battle, after all, the target is too obvious.
Li Xingchen did not come directly just now, but went to the trench to inspect it first. In fact, it was still Wu Qi's routine of pushing food and undressing, but the soldiers below actually suffered from this routine the most.
What's more, the figures standing up in the ditch just now and the looks they looked over undoubtedly made Li Xingchen feel the trust of these soldiers.
They fought bloody battles on this mountaintop, and they never failed Li Xingchen.
And Li Xingchen will not let them down.
Looking around, Li Xingchen said in a deep voice: "After Fei Ye made a profit today, Cao Xiaoda led his army to attack fiercely, right?"
Dai Cai nodded slightly: "Obviously Yuchi Jiong gave the order to die. At that time, his subordinates had already led their guards to the top. If the general had not arrived in time with his troops, I am afraid that this line would have been lost long ago. There is not much foothold on the top of the mountain.
The enemy can completely push us down if we attack directly forward."
