Seven hundred and ninetieth chapters quite critical
No one knows when Ren Zhong, who is on the south side, will notice the movement here. What's more important is that Pei Zilie in front of him has obviously gathered enough troops, but at a rough look, there should be seven or eight thousand.
, and correspondingly, there are only more than 2,000 people on Yuchishun's side.
Although the troops on Yuchishun's side were more physically capable, the disparity in numbers made it difficult to capture Pei Zilie. Once Pei Zilie regained his breath and reorganized his attack, Yuchishun would definitely suffer in the end.
Although Yu Chishun was brave and good at fighting, he did not want to get entangled with Pei Zilie in this place, which would probably lead him to a desperate situation in the end.
"The cavalry will be held back and we will retreat." Yuchi Shun said in a deep voice. Since his intention has been exposed and he has not gained an advantage, this is the only option next.
"General!" The generals' eyes widened immediately. Everyone had gone through so much trouble to get here and spent a lot of effort, but in the end they had to leave in despair?
Is there really no room for redemption in this battle?
You must know that the cavalry of the Northern Zhou Dynasty is still there. As long as it can attract the enemy's formation to re-deploy, there will still be many opportunities to attack or even directly defeat the enemy!
"Pei Zilie doesn't want to fight with us. It would be better for us to be more sensible." Yuchi Shun said calmly.
The young general had already bitten him to death, so these generals naturally couldn't say anything more and hurriedly agreed.
"General, the Zhou people have withdrawn." Chen Zhishen and Li Xun walked to Pei Zilie one after another. At this time, Pei Zilie was standing on a big rock on the hillside, looking quietly ahead. Apparently he had also noticed.
"This Yu Chishun is more mature than when he was in Cangxi Valley. He knows how to advance and retreat," Pei Zilie murmured. Although he had not personally participated in the war in Cangxi Valley, he still knew what happened there.
"It won't be easy to defeat him again in the future."
Chen Zhishen and Li Xun subconsciously glanced at each other with stern expressions. Chen Zhishen said hesitantly: "General, should we continue the pursuit?"
Pei Zilie waved his hand: "Yu Chishun used the cavalry as a cover, and the infantry formation is well organized. If we pursue directly, he will easily notice the gap. When the time comes, his cavalry will turn around and pounce, and we will probably suffer a loss."
After a pause, Pei Zilie looked around and smiled bitterly: "Everyone has been exhausted in the past two days, otherwise we wouldn't have fought so hard in the battle just now. We set up camp on the hillside and prepare to rest. We will break camp and head to Tanxi tomorrow afternoon.
"
"No!" Chen Zhishen and Li Xun also had some idea about the situation of their soldiers, so they didn't argue much at the moment.

South of Fancheng, Lumen Mountain.
"Bang!" The stone bullets thrown by the trebuchet hit the village gate heavily, and the already fragile camp gate collapsed. The Nanchen soldiers of the brigade roared and poured in through the open gate. In the opposite direction to them,
Another group of troops also rushed into the camp almost at the same time.
Obviously those people moved faster. After they rushed into the camp, they divided into three groups. The two groups on the left and right swept away the enemies along the wall of the camp, while the middle group rushed all the way to the Chinese army's tent, fighting and fighting under the protection of the personal guards.
The retreating Northern Zhou warriors were quickly surrounded, and a flag symbolizing Li Xingchen was raised on the flagpole.
All the movements were smooth and smooth, as if these were veterans on the battlefield. They did not need any orders from the generals leading the team. They knew what to do. The belated general Nan Chen looked at the fluttering flag and said,
Somewhat annoyed.
"As expected of the elite of Jiankang Prefecture who showed off their power back then, their actions were so fast that it was astonishing." Chun Yucen saw the flag before he even entered the gate of the village, so he naturally knew what was going on.
Xu Chang next to him smiled slightly.
Li Xingchen is really not stingy about showing off his power.
The total number of troops sent by Li Xinchen seemed to be only seven or eight hundred, while Chun Yucen's side had two to three thousand. However, both sides launched attacks at the same time, and finally achieved breakthroughs at the same time, and Li Xinchen's men were the first to plant the flag in the
In the middle of the camp.
The general leading the army on the other side was Cheng Feng. Chunyucen and Xu Chang were not familiar with this person, but they had heard of this name more than once. Li Xingchen led his troops to Jiankang Prefecture, and the general who was ordered to lead the army was
Cheng Feng.
It is said that this Cheng Feng was just a small field captain at the beginning, but somehow he fell into Li Xingchen's eyes and ended up today.
"General Chunyu, Xu joins the army!" A middle-aged man with an unattractive appearance walked over quickly, "Come to see General Cheng Feng, who is under the command of General Zhenxi, please see you two."
Chun Yucen subconsciously looked at Cheng Feng. If this middle-aged man was placed among the crowd, he would indeed not see anything unusual. But Chun Yucen looked at his tightly clenched hands and his face.
The extremely obvious edges and corners indicate that this must be a person who has been tempered on the battlefield. The wind and frost swords have left traces on his body that cannot be concealed. His years of military career have made his waist exceptionally straight.
Just like the flagpole hanging the flag behind him.
"General Cheng." Chunyucen solemnly handed over his hand. Although the other party was just a partial general, his identity was enough for Chunyucen to take him seriously. "I wonder where General Zhenxi is at this time?"
Cheng Feng was startled for a moment. Chun Yucen's straightforwardness surprised him. Of course, Cheng Feng knew the significance of Chun Yucen to Li Xinchen. Although the Chunyu family was not a big family with hands and eyes that overshadowed the sky, it was still powerful enough for Li Xinchen to make friends.
Therefore, this time Cheng Feng led his army south to attack Lumen Mountain, which was located south of Fancheng and did not hinder Li Xinchen's advance. Rather than helping Chunyu Cen to attack, it was better to come to contact Chun Yucen first with Li Xinchen's conditions.
Therefore, Cheng Feng was a little nervous when he saw Chun Yucen and others. As a military general, he had never done this kind of work before, and he said he couldn't screw it up.
"My general has led his army to surround Fancheng. Now I am waiting for the general to cross Lumen Mountain and meet him at the foot of Fancheng." Cheng Feng said with a smile.
Chunyucen frowned immediately, but still said after careful consideration: "General Zhenxi is the superior, and I will be my subordinate. I should take the initiative to see General Zhenxi."
Cheng Feng's expression changed slightly, and he could naturally hear the dissatisfaction in Chun Yucen's words. Chun Yucen was indeed lower than Li Xinchen in terms of official rank, but after all, he was under the command of Xiao Mohe and Chun Yuliang, and he was not the same as Li Xinchen.
Regardless of the relationship, it stands to reason that Li Xingchen did not directly mobilize his power.
Now that Chun Yucen came with troops and horses, he was taking the initiative to show his goodwill to Li Xinchen. However, Li Xinchen only sent a partial general to respond, which obviously made Chunyu Cen a little uncomfortable.
After all, what Chunyu Cen represents behind him is also the Chunyu family that dominates.
Such criticism is quite reasonable, but it is reasonable.
