Chapter 778: Inside and Outside the City
"Pei Zilie attacked Longzhong, and Li Xinchen attacked Dunse, but it came quickly." Xiao Maha slowly put down the battle report in his hand and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
And Ren Zhong and Chun Yuliang, who stood on his left and right, did not say a word. These two guys who are both fast and old are not stupid, this time they went north to Xiangyang, and the lone army in Xiangyang City certainly made their enemy, Li Xinchen, who suddenly appeared in the north of Xiangyang City and was eyeing him, how could it not be another threatening force?
Li Xinchen suddenly turned his troops south this time, broke through the weak defense lines such as Dingjun Mountain and Fangling all the way, and pounced directly on Xiangyang, which can be said to be unexpected by many people, but if it is not unexpected, it is not Li Xinchen's consistent style.
But everyone present knew in their hearts that this hungry wolf didn't come over obediently to help, since he came, he definitely wanted to eat meat, and it was a piece of fat and oily meat in Xiangyang. For Li Xinchen, a glutton, I am afraid that only by swallowing the entire Xiangyang City can he satisfy his appetite.
The key is that this guy's appetite is good, and his digestion is also good, a huge Bashu, which has always been a fertile ground for rebelling against the central government in the hands of the Southern Dynasties, and in the end it was even directly divided, and after the Northern Zhou people came in, they also made a black miasma and became a burden, as a result, who would have thought that after Li Xinchen arrived in Bashu, he actually coordinated a plate of scattered sand like the Xiajiang Tang clan, so as to obtain a lot of financial and material resources, and at the same time lured the Ba people out of the mountains, which naturally supplemented enough manpower, Let the entire Bashu once again become the country of abundance.
Even the problem of lack of talent was forcibly alleviated by this guy through centralized training of officials.
It can be said that Li Xinchen is good at fighting, and he is also good at turning the land into his own.
This is a difficult guy to deal with, and the prey he is targeting has not yet run away.
Ren Zhong exchanged glances with Chun Yuliang and others, and they even felt that they had reason to suspect that Li Xinchen had an attempt to take Xiangyang as early as when he attacked Jiangling, but even if he took Xiangyang at that time, it was also the credit of Xiao Maha, so Li Xinchen simply took Bashu first, and finally made everything a reality through such a twisting and turning method.
But after thinking about it, this guy can even forcibly turn his false Hanzhong Hou into a real seal, which doesn't seem to be anything.
"The camp of Hutou Mountain is already dilapidated, and it is unlikely that Cao Xiaoda will be able to defend it, and it is estimated that he will retreat in less than two days," Chun Yuliang said in a deep voice, "The last general thinks that he should quickly send scouts into Da Xian Mountain to find out the reality of the enemy's next line of defense." ”
After speaking, he didn't forget to glance at Ren Zhong.
As a striker, Chun Yuliang finally broke through the outer defense line of Hutou Mountain, and the next Da Xian Mountain was almost attached to Xiangyang City, so it can be said that he rushed to the inner circle of defense in Xiangyang, in contrast, Ren Zhong is still staying in the area of Tanxi, and there is not much progress, which naturally makes Chun Yuliang have the capital to show off.
For Chun Yuliang's eyes, Ren Zhong just snorted, and he was somewhat indignant in his heart. Although Cao Xiaoda arranged two defense lines in the south of Xiangyang City, these two defense lines may be because they rely on the hills, so there are not many soldiers and horses in the northwest.
More soldiers and horses swung along the Tanxi River, blocking any path that Ren Zhong could force his way across.
Although Tanxi is not wide, but the water flow is turbulent, and there is no way to swim in many places, so you can only choose the place where the upstream water flow is gentle and the downstream flows into the water, and the water surface is wide, and obviously Cao Xiaoda is more familiar with these places and set up camp early.
These days, Ren Zhong has attacked several times, but it only made a lot of corpses float in Tanxi and Shuishui, especially when he thought of Chun Yuliang and these people looking at the corpses floating down on the bank of Shuishui, Ren Zhong was angry.
This Cao Xiaoda, how can he not get along with him!
Whether it is Ren Zhong or Chun Yuliang, they are already well-known veterans in the army, but after all, this reputation cannot be used as food to support their families, so they all want to take advantage of the fact that they have not yet returned to the field, and hurry up to earn some military exploits, so as to increase the number of people and blessings.
Compared with Ren Zhong, Chun Yuliang has been in front, the eldest son inherited his title and food, not to mention, the rest of the sons also have proper arrangements, some entered the Taixue, and then it is indispensable to be a party Taishou, and more are scattered in the army, the most outstanding of which is the sixth son Chun Yucen, it is said that this old guy has sent his son to the north bank of the water.
Compared with leading two or three thousand soldiers and horses to attack Fancheng, Ren Zhong believed that this was Chun Yuliang contacting Li Xinchen in this way.
After Xu Ling decisively sent Xu Deyan under Li Xinchen's command for so long, Chun Yuliang finally couldn't sit still, and let his most powerful son go to contact Li Xinchen, which was enough to show the sincerity of this old general.
Thinking of this, Ren Zhong could only grit his teeth secretly, but it was a pity that his son was still in the Huainan army, and it was impossible to transfer for a while, and Ren Zhong did not have the courage to let him come back directly, after all, the Ren family only had this one heir, once he left the Nanchen army, he could only defect to Li Xinchen, which was tantamount to gambling on the future of the entire family for the Ren family.
Ren Zhong asked himself that he was already this age now, and he couldn't afford to play with such a heartbeat. Chun Yuliang has many sons, and he is reluctant to be loyal.
Looking at Ren Zhong's uncertain expression, Chun Yuliang just smiled and did not speak. And Xiao Maha also had a full view of the expressions of the two old generals under his command, but he would not take the initiative to bring up this topic.
Why was Ren Zhong attacked and trapped, in fact, Xiao Maha and Chun Yuliang both knew in their hearts that Cao Xiaoda, who had been defeated under Li Xinchen, would naturally arrange more troops to be deployed on the northwest side where Li Xinchen was likely to come, and Ren Zhong actually just happened to meet him.
Of course, if you really say it, it will hurt your face a little, and Ren Zhong himself can't understand this truth at all, but this old general is also a little arrogant, and he doesn't want to admit this fact.
"Continue to attack, although Da Xian Mountain is not big, but the mountain is steep, this is already the last barrier in the south of Xiangyang City, Cao Xiaoda will not give up easily," Xiao Maha said in a deep voice, "Within five days, I will see Da Chen's banner planted on the top of Da Xian Mountain!" ”
"No!" Chun Yuliang immediately solemnly bowed his hand.
——————————-
"Uncle," Wei Chikuan walked briskly to the head of Xiangyang City, and bowed his hand at Cao Xiaoda, "Exploring the Malay report, Chun Yu Liang's department has already descended to the village outside Da Xian Mountain, and the enemy's sailors are blocking the river in the lower reaches of Da Xian Mountain, and Xiao Maha's battalion has also passed Hutou Mountain. ”
Cao Xiaoda was originally Wei Chi Yuan's old general, and at this time he was the actual commander-in-chief of Xiangyang City Defense, so there was nothing wrong with Wei Chikuan using the honorific title of "uncle".
