The autumn wind blows the fallen leaves, and autumn is deep.
Especially close to Mianshui, you can feel the coldness of the river breeze.
Autumn has always been the season of war and killing. Autumn officials are the masters of killing, so this season itself seems to bring a bit of murderous intent, and outside Fancheng, there are even larger armies gathering, exaggerating this murderous intent to the extreme.
Dai Cai and Chun Yucen received death orders, and they must break through Fancheng before winter. Whether it was Dai Cai, a general who had been with Li Xinchen for a long time, or Chun Yucen, who had just joined Li Xinchen's command for a few days, Li Xinchen
The orders were equally valid. They never doubted that Li Xingchen would let them go if they failed to do anything well.
The beginning of winter is a very vague concept. Sometimes it all depends on the weather. When the cold current from the north brings wind and snow, it usually means that winter is coming. Li Xingchen did not specify a time point, but the more it is like this
, Dai Cai and Chunyu Cenyue did not dare to neglect.
Who can guarantee that God will not change his face one day, and if the army is still trapped outside Fancheng when the heavy snow falls, then Dai Cai and Chunyu Cen will be out of luck. Military law is never easy to talk about.
Fancheng's city defense is divided into inner city and outer city. The inner city is only half the size of the outer city, but the city is taller, forming a commanding advantage over the outer city. With a city of five miles and a country of ten miles, it can be said that Fancheng is completely
It was built according to the most typical fortress standards in ancient times. More grain, grass, equipment, etc. were also stored in the inner city. This is why when the outer city was breached, the defending general decisively ordered to shrink the defense line.
Maybe there is still a chance of survival if you stick to the inner city, but if you directly fight with the enemy in the outer city, you are really asking for death.
"Hurry!" The warriors stood on the ruins and shouted loudly, while a soldier pushed the huge Thunderbolt cart forward with difficulty on the muddy road.
The autumn rain last night not only added a bit of chill, but also made the loess road muddy. After all, this is the area of Waiguo. On weekdays, some poor people live here. Naturally, there is no need to repair the road. Now we are also attacking.
The Bashu army brought a lot of trouble.
Fortunately, more than 2,000 troops from the Chunyu clan arrived from Huaixi. In addition, many prisoners were captured when they conquered the outer city, so the labor force is still sufficient.
A crumbling city gate that was originally destroyed by the Thunderbolt Chariot was simply demolished, leaving a huge gap in the city wall, so that the Thunderbolt Chariot could enter the outer city from here. It only takes seven or eight hundred from the outer Guo to the inner city.
At a distance of just one foot, it can be said that the Thunderbolt Vehicle is also dropping bombs in the face of the enemy.
"Set up bed crossbows here, demolish the houses over there and stockpile stone bullets!" Dai Cai strode through the busy crowd, and several battle leaders behind him followed the order.
And soon Dai Cai's footsteps stopped. Under a huge thunder truck, a group of laborers were being driven to carry stones, and Dai Cai's eyes fell on one of them.
His face was covered with mud and even blood, and his clothes were almost reduced to strips of cloth, indicating that this was the lowest class of labor, in other words, he was a prisoner of war.
As if he felt someone was watching him, the laborer also raised his head and landed on Dai Cai, and also on Luo Yi who was behind Dai Cai.
However, Luo Yi did not retreat. Instead, he grabbed his saber and cast his gaze over without hesitation. Because the soldiers had previously contributed to persuading the Zhou people to surrender, and they also had the merit of being the first to break through the outer walls of Fancheng, Luo Yi now
He is already a captain.
Li Xingchen's group is now actually out of the control of the Nanchen court, so Li Xingchen's rewards for those below the miscellaneous generals are not ambiguous at all. The formation of an army is naturally inseparable from the grassroots generals, so some outstanding performers are promoted.
It is reasonable for the commanders and generals to formally enter the level of captains and generals.
Luo Yi, who went from being a prisoner of war to a captain, was obviously one of the best. Luo Yi didn't think there was anything wrong with his choice. His only regret was that he failed to persuade his old boss in the end.
Li Xun stared at Luo Yi closely at this time. After all, he just sighed and lowered his head, without glaring as before.
When the Bashu army broke through the outer walls of Fancheng, Li Xun could already realize that taking Fancheng was only a matter of time for this army. Even Xiangyang was just a layer of window paper in front of them that could be broken at any time.
That’s all.
Once Li Xinchen took control of Bashu, Xiangyang and Hanzhong, he had all the western fortresses in his hands. Whether he went down the river to sweep Jiankang Prefecture or went north to enter Guanzhong, it was not difficult for Li Xinchen.
This young man went from having nothing to being halfway rich in a short period of time that is too short to even imagine.
It can be imagined that it will not take long for the huge world to finally fall into his hands. In contrast, at this time, Nanchen could only huddle in a corner, and the civil strife in the Northern Zhou Dynasty was even more invisible.
The end.
Being a prisoner was not what Li Xun wanted to do, so he had to think carefully about what to do next.
At this moment, Li Xun felt a warmth on his shoulders, and Dai Cai took off his cloak and put it on Li Xun. He waved his hand calmly, and the guards stepped forward to remove Li Xun's shackles.
Open. All captured generals must be shackled, firstly to prevent them from having any evil thoughts, and secondly to distinguish their identities.
Looking at Dai Cai with a smile on his face, Li Xun said coldly: "Why, Fancheng is about to be captured, and you feel that the prisoner X is useless, and are you planning to kill him and silence him?"
Dai Cai clapped his hands, made a gesture of asking to sit down, and sat on a stone next to him first. The previous battle at Waiguo was not tragic, but the thunderbolt chariots destroyed the city quite badly. This was mainly because of the battle at Waiguo.
There are some civilian bungalows and huts in the center. Stone bullets thrown from the improved Thunderbolt Car can easily crush these houses.
Li Xun was not polite and sat down opposite Dai Cai.
Dai Cai said with a smile: "Look around here, it's in full swing; look at the city over there, it's lifeless. The world is not like this now. The Marquis of Hanzhong is determined to make progress, while the rest only know how to cannibalize each other!"
Li Xun frowned. He was not a sharp-tongued person, and the hard work these days had worn away the last bit of his energy, leaving Li Xun with almost no courage to refute these words. In fact, Dai Cai also had the ability to beautify Li Xunchen.
It is suspected that the friction between Li Xingchen and Nan Chen is not cannibalizing each other, but the two sides are not that excessive.
Of course, Li Xun had to admit that Dai Cai was right in one aspect. Li Xunchen was perhaps the most enterprising person in the world.
"It's almost done." Dai Cai looked at Li Xun and said only four words. (To be continued)
