Chapter five hundred and sixty third increasingly unclear
Since the terrain around here is narrow and rugged, even if he is unable to defeat him, Pei Zilie can still retreat step by step. The battle alone is enough to make Wei Shou drink a pot. What's more important is that the scouts sent by Pei Zilie have already fought with several Ba in the mountains.
The tribe got in touch.
These Ba tribes had no time to go to Cangxi Valley, so they simply supported Pei Zilie nearby.
The battle in Cangxi Valley was enough to prove the role and ability of these Ba people in mountain warfare, so Pei Zilie believed that if he really wanted to fight Wei Shou like Li Xingchen did, he would not have no chance of causing Wei Shou to suffer.
However, Wei Shou didn't seem to appreciate it and had no intention of leaving the city to fight Pei Zilie.
So how could Pei Zilie not be excited when he heard the news that Wei Shou was leaving the city?
At least I wasn't just watching this battle under Jiange City.
"General!" Chen Zhishen walked in quickly. These days of fighting have made this iron tower-like man look more upright, and his eyes are burning, staring at Pei Zilie. You don't have to think about it to know that he will definitely not be able to sit still.
Came here to fight.
If we say that the most belligerent people under Li Xingchen are probably Xiao Shilian and Chen Zhishen, two generals who came completely from Xiao Mohe's command, but now Xiao Shilian has become a lot more stable, and it seems that Chen Zhishen has gone to the opposite extreme of Xiao Shilian. Every battle
They all took the lead and charged forward, especially when they were dealing with many local armies of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. When Chen Zhishen charged like this, the opponent basically lost the courage to continue fighting.
Therefore, Chen Zhishen is becoming more and more like Xiao Mohe.
Pei Zilie made a gesture to ask her to calm down, and then looked at Xu Deyan: "Let's talk about it."
After so many years of experience in the military, Xu Deyan has grown a beard, and his face has become angular due to the blowing of the mountain wind. The aura of the descendant of the aristocratic family has completely dissipated. If he didn't know, no one would think that he was standing in front of him.
This young general is the grandson of Xu Ling, the current leader of the Chen civil service.
"Wei Shou took two thousand soldiers and horses as the vanguard and advanced directly south along the avenue outside Jiange." Xu Deyan hurriedly walked to the map, stretched out his hand and clicked, "At the same time, he sent a large number of scouts to patrol around, obviously hoping to capture
And destroy our scouts."
Pei Zilie raised his eyebrows. It was reasonable for Wei Shou to focus on Cangxi Valley. He did not expect Wei Shou to come and fight him stupidly, or even directly attack Mianzhu Pass. This would not be harmful to the current situation at all.
If there is any help in the battle situation, Wei Shou himself must have clearly realized this.
"Two thousand soldiers and horses, Wei Shou is looking down on us too much if he wants to use so few people to open the way." Chen Zhishen said with a snort.
After the battle between Shu County and Mianzhu Pass, the balance of forces between the two sides has changed significantly. Through the replenishment of troops and the recruitment of new soldiers, Pei Zilie and Chen Zhishen already have seven or eight thousand soldiers and horses under their command. Now there are five people outside Jiange.
Thousands of people, plus the cooperation of more than a thousand people, two thousand people are really not enough for Chen Zhishen to squeeze between his teeth.
On the contrary, in the battle of Mianzhu Pass, Wei Shou suffered heavy losses, but in the end he returned without success. His morale was low, and the number of troops was reduced to about the same level as Pei Zilie. However, Wei Shou certainly could not pull out all the troops and horses.
Pei Zilie decides to fight or support Cangxi Valley, so only four to five thousand people can really participate in the battle.
Whether they are dealing with the opponent's forward, or the entire army of both sides is drawing out to compete, there is nothing to be afraid of for Pei Zilie and Chen Zhishen.
"Come, here, and here, control all the mountains. Send out all our scouts and block the road with the Ba people." Pei Zilie stretched out his hand and clicked on the map, "Wei Shou didn't want to capture
Our scout, I didn’t even give him this chance!"
Xu Deyan and Chen Zhishen looked stern at the same time. Pei Zilie said in a deep voice: "We are outnumbered in the battle in Cangxi Valley. It is difficult for General Dang to support it alone. I can't say anything to let Wei Shou and his troops pass."
!”
"No!" Chen Zhishen and Xu Deyan raised their hands at the same time.
Pei Zilie grabbed his sword and said, "Let's go!"
The current war situation is becoming increasingly unclear. Although he doesn't know what Li Xingchen is planning in his heart, Pei Zilie knows that at least the situation at this moment is much better than when Li Xingchen faced the two armies of Yu Chijun and Wei Xiaokuan.
I gritted my teeth and persevered through the difficulties at that time, so why worry about now.
The letter from Li Xingchen clearly stated that he would use the entire Cangxi Valley as the battlefield for the decisive battle, so Pei Zilie sent Wei Shou, the enemy's last and most powerful reinforcement, to help Li Xingchen block it north of Cangxi Valley!
Pei Zilie knew what was at stake in this battle, and even if he risked his life, he would help Li Xingchen win this battle.
——————————————————-
Li Xingchen slowly put down the letter in his hand, sighed softly, and handed it to Xiao Shilian, who had been waiting for him for a long time.
This is a letter written by Xiao Mohe sent from Xiao Mohe in Xiangyang. Xiao Mohe is still the crisp and clear Xiao Mohe. He did not say any nonsense in the letter and briefly introduced the current situation of each battlefield -
- For Li Xinchen, who has been fighting in the mountains of Bashu for several months, most of this news is fragmentary. Only Xiao Mohe's systematic analysis and introduction allowed Li Xinchen to know what the overall situation of the world has evolved into now.
Needless to say, the battle in Xiangyang is now under way. Fortunately, he cut off the trestle on the Mian River in time and had the navy as a barrier. Otherwise, the battle in Xiangfan must have become one-sided.
However, Li Xingchen also knew that as long as the enemy's troops were not mobilized, even Xiao Mohe would not be able to survive this winter. Once the weather gets cold and the Mian water freezes, no one will be able to stop the Northern Zhou cavalry from going south.
Xiao Mohe could only choose to retreat.
Li Xingchen was not naive enough to think that an important fortress like Xiangyang, which the enemy had worked hard for many years, could be captured in just one year. Especially since the enemy was still exerting constant pressure on Suizhou and other places, Xiao Mohe had no chance at all.
The method is to concentrate on dealing with the defenders of Xiangyang.
Of course, the battle in Xiangyang has progressed to some extent. At least Xiao Mohe has surrounded Xiangyang and gained a strategic advantage. In Huaibei, Wu Mingche did not advance even half a step. The two sides were back and forth in several cities along the north bank of the Huai River.
several months.
Wu Mingche has obviously given up on continuing to make breakthroughs from this sad place - or in other words, what kind of victory Huaibei can achieve. Wu Mingche had already made a decision in his mind before taking command and went on the expedition. His understanding of Huainan and Huaibei, Nanchen's side
I'm afraid no one can beat Wu Mingche.
Therefore, the back and forth with Wang Gui these days seems to be that Wu Mingche is dealing with Chen Xu's request. At least now he can give Chen Xu a job.
In other words, in a short period of time, the war situation between Xiangyang and Lianghuai fell into a stalemate as expected.
While Li Xingchen was making orderly arrangements for the battle in Bashu, the situation in the world became increasingly unclear.
