After hearing Li Xingchen's words, Dai Cai, Cheng Feng and other generals suddenly felt helpless.
In any case, Chunyu Cen is Xiao Mohe's subordinate. With the current relationship between Li Xingchen and the Nanchen court, it is difficult to say that the two sides are even allies. However, Li Xingchen does not seem to care about this and directly urges Chun Yu in a commander-in-chief tone.
Cen marches forward.
It seems a bit excessive...
Li Xingchen obviously noticed the expressions of Dai Cai and others, and said calmly: "Chun Yuliang asked his son to cross the Mian River to attack Fancheng at this time, and he only had three thousand soldiers and horses under his command. It was obvious that he was
I'm showing my goodwill to someone, and I think these two or three thousand troops should be Chun Yuliang's trustworthy subordinates and veterans."
Dai Cai and others nodded slightly. This is understandable. Chun Yuliang obviously couldn't sit still anymore. He asked his most outstanding son Chun Yucen to come over, not without the intention of directly making friends and cooperating with Li Xinchen. Li Xinchen directly regarded this group of troops as his own.
There seems to be no problem with his subordinates.
This method was the most straightforward way to acknowledge Chun Yuliang, or at least Chun Yucen's surrender. Then Li Xingchen changed the topic: "Dai Cai, you lead your troops northward and assume a posture of bypassing Dengsai. Cheng Feng
, you lead your troops southward, and at the same time send scouts to explore the mountains, and let the Ba people's scouts also move to completely block the news of the entire Dengsai, especially the messengers coming from Fancheng, no one is allowed to enter Dengsai!
"
"Promise!" The generals agreed loudly.
Li Xingchen's tactics were actually very simple. He completely deployed the army, made a posture where the left and right wings directly bypassed Dengsai, and directly forced the Dengsai defenders with a overwhelming lineup. As for the next choice, it was up to the Dengsai defenders.
, if they insist on resisting, then Li Xingchen doesn't mind crushing them directly!
Li Xingchen was still prepared for this little sacrifice.
When Li Xinchen had enough troops and equipment, he no longer needed to make dangerous moves like before. A more prudent approach would obviously make everything go according to Li Xinchen's plan.
And Li Xingchen suddenly slapped the table: "With Dengsai taken down, there will be no barrier in front of Fancheng, so we must attack with all our strength and reach the gate of Fancheng as soon as possible!"
"Promise!" There was another promise, and the entire Chinese army tent trembled.
And this sound pierced the curtain, reaching the ears of the patrolling soldiers outside, and reaching every corner of the entire military camp.
The soldiers subconsciously straightened their backs. They knew that another big battle was coming, and under the leadership of Hanzhong Hou, they would be invincible.
——————————
Sun Qun's palms were filled with sweat.
As an inconspicuous general under Cao Xiaoda, he was naturally sent to the most inconspicuous corner to guard. For the entire Xiangfan defense line, there is probably nothing better than Dengsai, a fortress located in the heart of Hanzhong and Xiangyang.
It's more leisurely and boring.
Except for the possibility of facing occasional frictions with Wei Xiaokuan's troops in the direction of Fangling and Shangyong, Dengsai's garrison really didn't have anything to do. To the north is Wuguan, and to the northeast is the Central Plains, which is the real hinterland of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
But who would have thought that within just a few months, everything would be turned upside down. Hanzhong fell, Fangling fell, and the armies of the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the Central Plains and Guanzhong began to confront each other, turning this fortress that was actually declining into an outright
front line.
Li Xingchen's army easily tore through the fragile defense line in Fangling and rushed directly towards Deng Sai.
Changing generals on the battlefield has always been a taboo for military strategists, so Cao Xiaoda had no intention of replacing Sun Qun. He just added another 2,000 people to the original 1,000 defenders, giving Sun Qun, a partial general, his first chance.
Becoming worthy of his name, and with the addition of more than a thousand civilians in the city, Sun Qun has never led so many people since he joined the army.
However, Sun Qun did not feel excited or satisfied, because opposite him, tens of thousands of enemies were arrayed in dense formation.
That's right, Sun Qun has never faced so many enemies.
This made Sun Qun very distressed. When he saw Li Xingchen's banner, Sun Qun wished he could escape from Dengsai right now.
But Li Xingchen had surrounded Deng Sai. How could he allow Sun Qun to escape? Even if he really wanted to escape, Sun Qun didn't know where he should go. The north was completely in chaos, so he, a native of Xiangyang, could not escape.
The locals stayed away.
Dengsai is named "Sai", which is actually an earth city built between two hills.
This city guards the north-south trade route and the Mianshui Waterway, so although it is inconspicuous, it is a resting place for business travelers and a battleground for military strategists. Only by controlling this city can the road from the north to south to Fancheng be cut off.
.Continuing south from Dunsai, Bowang, Xinye and other places are famous in history, but they are not considered fortresses after all.
Even when Zhuge Kongming's "guns and oars were wiped out in smoke while talking and laughing", he could not rely on Xinye to stop the rolling Cao Wei army.
Cao Xiaoda didn't think he was Zhuge Kongming, and Sun Qun didn't think he was Cao Xiaoda. He wanted to fight this battle, but he didn't think he could stop Li Xinchen, especially when Li Xinchen's troops spread out to both sides.
, Sun Qun felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Obviously Li Xinchen did not intend to stay too long in Dengsai. He had even made preparations to bypass this small city from the north and south sides. Obviously, although there were many three thousand soldiers and horses in the city, Li Xinchen did not take it seriously at all.
This feeling of being ignored made Sun Qun uncomfortable. Why didn't he want to have a fair fight with Li Xingchen? It was a pity that the gap in strength could only make him watch helplessly.
"General, there is an envoy from the island barbarians below the city!" Marching Sima walked over quickly. The beard and dark skin on his face proved that he was a barbarian who had just arrived in the Central Plains for a few generations, although his way of speaking had already changed.
He looked completely Han, but it was clear from his tone that he looked down upon the Han people, especially these Nanbarbarians, at all.
Sun Qun nodded slightly, but sighed quietly in his heart. It is not these Southern Dynasty people who are on the isolated island now, but them. What's more, they are all killed from the north, which really makes everything look different.
Somewhat funny.
"General, the morale of the troops in the city has been unstable these days. There have been many discussions among the soldiers about the war in Xiangyang. Therefore, I believe that this envoy should be killed at this time to show our determination to defend the city to the death!" Sima, the Hu man
He said decisively, while his eyes swept over the Han warriors and generals next to him from time to time.
Although each general lowered his head, his fists were clenched tightly.
Sun Qun frowned. Li Xingchen's army broke into the city. The guy in front of him must not have a good end. Especially in Dengsai these years, this guy has exploited countless Han people and merchants. He obviously also knew that after the city was broken, even if Li Xingchen was released,
If you let yourself go, the soldiers and people in the city will not let you go.
