Dai Cai didn't say much, but Li Xingchen knew what he wanted to say.
The natural result was that under the main peak where Wei Xiaokuan and Yuchi Jong joined forces, Li Xingchen was left with only one line of defense. And when the time came, it was conceivable that Li Xingchen would not be able to hold on for long.
It can be said that during the day, if Li Xinchen and Xiao Shilian had been a step late, these two mountains would no longer be in Li Xinchen's hands. The current battle situation must be more difficult and desperate than Li Xinchen imagined.
"Yu Chijiong suddenly started to attack fiercely, and he has obviously received the news from Mianzhu Pass," Li Xingchen said lightly, "No matter what Wei Xiaokuan thinks, Yuchi Jiong must make some achievements to ensure that all the credit for this battle will not be lost.
into the hands of Wei Xiaokuan."
Dai Cai nodded slightly: "It seems that the Mianzhu Pass side is about to be unable to support it."
"Regardless of whether Mianzhu Pass can be defended or not, we have to defend Tiangongyuan. Even if Mianzhu Pass is breached, the masters will still have Guanghan if they retreat. We can even retreat directly to Shishan County. But if we retreat, the masters will really
There is no way out." Li Xingchen said decisively.
The smile on Dai Cai's face faded and he nodded solemnly.
At this moment, Li Ping walked in quickly, with an anxious look on his face: "General, there is an urgent report from Mianzhu Pass. Mianzhu Pass has been lost!"
"What?!" Li Xingchen raised his eyebrows, and Dai Cai's expression changed even more.
Li Ping hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Li Xingchen grabbed the battle report, glanced at it roughly, and took a deep breath.
"General, it is estimated that Yu Chijiong and Wei Xiaokuan will also receive the news. They will definitely not wait any longer..." Dai Cai said anxiously.
With the fall of Mianzhu Pass, the entire Bashu war situation has undergone fundamental changes. The initiative that Li Xingchen originally held by defending Mianzhu Pass and Tiangongyuan Mountain has now been broken due to the fall of Mianzhu Pass.
"Is there no news from Shu County yet?" Li Xinchen frowned. Mianzhu Pass has been breached but Shu County has not yet fallen into his hands, which shows that there is really not much time left for Chen Zhishen, and Li Xinchen must consider retreating now.
Already.
It can be expected that Yuchi Jiong and Wei Xiaokuan will definitely speed up the attack in order to break through the Tiangongyuanshan defense line in the shortest time and completely suppress Li Xinchen in the Luzhou and Hezhou areas. By then, Li Xinchen will really have no counterattack except to defend.
leeway.
"Shizhong!" At this moment, Xiao Shilian's loud voice sounded from outside again, and with joy on his face, he raised the battle report in his hand, "Shu County, Shu County!"
Seeing Xiao Shilian out of breath, Li Xingchen was a little surprised: "What's wrong with Shu County? Slow down."
"Shu County is ours!" Xiao Shilian laughed and slapped the battle report in his hand heavily on Li Xingchen's chest, "The officers retreated to Guanghan, but now Shu County is in their hands, so Wei Shou will not continue to march."
Li Xingchen didn't react for a while. He almost subconsciously reached out to grab the battle report and murmured: "Shu County... was captured?"
"See for yourself!" Xiao Shilian grabbed the jug next to him and took a sip first to let himself breathe. "I just received the battle report from Mianzhu Pass and hurried over to discuss it with you. I didn't expect that there would be someone else on the way."
It’s an unexpected surprise.”
Li Xingchen glanced at it and handed the battle report to Dai Cai, who was also excited next to him. His mood had calmed down and he said with a smile: "There is no road ahead. The battle between Bashu and Bashu will eventually fall into someone's control."
Dai Cai nodded: "With Shu County, it will be difficult for the enemy to find a foothold in Bashu. Now I am afraid that I have no choice but to defend the sword pavilion and retreat to Hanzhong."
Li Xingchen took a breath and strode out of the shack. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
I don't know when, a touch of fish belly white appeared on the horizon in the distance. Wisps of morning glow were slowly spreading across the sky. And Li Xingchen watched the coming sunrise motionless. A ray of sunlight spread through the gaps between the mountains.
On Li Xingchen.
Dai Cai and Xiao Shilian, who then walked out, looked at the scene in front of them in surprise. Xiao Shilian just wanted to step forward, but Dai Cai reached out and grabbed him. Xiao Shilian immediately understood what Dai Cai meant, and just smiled and stopped.
Countless soldiers had woken up from their sleep at this time, and the morning light was shining on the mountains, trenches, and the battlefield destined to experience more baptism of blood and fire. And pairs of eyes noticed the man standing on the hillside.
figure.
There was only one person, but he was standing there with his hands folded, facing the gushing sun, as if the entire battlefield and the whole world were under his control. It seemed that he could control the wind and rain with his hands.
The soldiers in the trench held their breath and looked at Li Xingchen.
It's like looking at their king.
"It's dawn." Xiao Shilian suddenly said without any clue.
Dai Cai smiled slightly: "Yes, it's dawn."
It's dawn on the entire Tiangongyuan battlefield, but it's not just the Tiangongyuan that's actually shrouded in light?
——————————————-
Wei Xiaokuan slowly put down the battle report that had been rushed from Mianzhu Pass with a heavy expression on his face.
The news of the capture of Mianzhu Pass and the fall of Shu County came one after another, making Wei Xiaokuan feel a little dazed. He didn't even know whether he should be happy or sighing.
Obviously after taking Shu County, Chen Zhishen and Pei Zilie had no intention of preventing the news from being released. In other words, they wished Wei Xiaokuan and Yu Chijiong knew about it early.
With Shu County falling into the hands of Li Xinchen, the defenses from Guanghan to Shu County and then to Luzhou have been improved and strengthened. Chen Zhishen can join forces with Pei Zilie, and the Nanchen Navy, which has been dragged under the walls of Shu County, can also
Having his hands free to support Pei Zilie means that Wei Shou at Mianzhu Pass will face greater pressure.
Wei Shou was obviously not a fool. In his military report to Wei Xiaokuan, he clearly stated that he could only stand still at Mianzhu Pass. After all, it was conceivable that Nanchen's navy would appear on Luoshui at the latest tomorrow, and
With these warships crossing the river, it would not be easy for the Northern Zhou army to directly cross the Luoshui River.
Mianzhu Pass seems to be an important pass. Losing Mianzhu means losing the gateway to Shu County. However, in fact, what the Southern Dynasties were really good at was the navy, and the only advantage Li Xinchen had against the Northern Zhou army was the navy. Therefore, others thought that Mianzhu Pass was lost.
When it was difficult to defend Shu County, Li Xinchen still had the navy as his biggest support.
It seems that the Northern Zhou army broke through the Mianzhu Pass, but in fact anyone with a discerning eye can see that the situation in the Bashu war is already tilting in a direction that is even more unfavorable to the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
It became so rotten overnight!
Wei Xiaokuan slowly sat up and reached out to lift the curtain, letting the sunlight outside shine on him.
It was dawn again, but Wei Xiaokuan had no expectations for this day.
