Chapter 536: The Iron Rider Comes to the Dust
The young and promising Li Xinchen, Chen Xu, who is getting older and older, and Chen Shubao, who everyone knows is not very competitive, what will happen next, many old ministers who have experienced the last change of dynasty have to weigh everything in their hearts.
Although Chun Yuliang is old, he still sees the situation clearly. Why did Chen Xin do everything possible to curb Li Xinchen before, in the final analysis, it was because Li Xinchen was too young, and Li Xinchen's achievements really made Chen Xin restless.
If Li Xinchen is thirty or forty years old, Chen Ji will definitely not have such fear, after all, this means that Li Xinchen will no longer have much room to rise, but now it is different, a young victorious general is not a good thing for a dynasty that has just come out of division and turmoil.
No matter what Li Xinchen thinks in his heart, it is impossible for Chen Ji to be defenseless, after all, the most important thing in this troubled world is bold people and people who want to follow the dragon.
The refusal to provide more support to Bashu was more or less because Chen Xuan wanted to polish and suppress Li Xinchen, and Li Xinchen was defeated miserably, so that Chen Xuan was able to ensure Li Xinchen's loyalty to Nan Chen, even if this loyalty was based on the fact that the power in Li Xinchen's hands was not enough.
However, it was obvious that the whole situation did not develop as Chen Ji imagined, and with Li Xinchen taking Shu County, this young man was destined to be difficult to contain. The former dynasty Xiao Baojuan divided Bashu and became a self-contained thing, as a person who came over, it is not that he does not remember.
What's even more terrifying is that it is obvious that Li Xinchen is not Xiao Baojuan, or Li Xinchen is not Xiao Baojuan, who only has ambition and no strength, can compare.
In the Battle of Jingzhou, the Battle of Ba County, and the Battle of Shu County, Li Xinchen has proved his strength and ambition with too many victories.
This young man, who suddenly became famous all over the world, is proving his strength in this world with absolute achievements and victories.
If Li Xinchen really has any ideas, Chun Yuliang doesn't think he can't do it, and this has to make Chun Yuliang think about it in his heart, whether he should also express his support for Li Xinchen in advance, after all, once the situation changes, as the head of the Chun Yu family, Chun Yu Liang must try his best to ensure the interests of the Chun Yu family.
"What is the old general thinking?" Xiao Maha asked with a smile on the side, the results of the Battle of Bashu obviously made Xiao Maha feel a lot more comfortable. After all, what he was most worried about before was actually the Bashu side, Xiao Shilian was his son no matter what he said, so even if Xiao Maha didn't want the Bashu war to end with a final victory, he also hoped that his son could return safely.
Generals will inevitably die in battle, but how can parents in the world really want their children to die in battle at a young age?
Sometimes there's just no choice.
I don't know if Xiao Maha saw through his heart, Chun Yuliang hurriedly changed the topic: "The old man is still worried about the war in front of him, this Xiangyang ······"
didn't expose Chun Yuliang, Xiao Maha just restrained himself and said with a straight smile: "Then let's see how far this battle will develop." ”
Chun Yuliang bowed slightly, and before he could continue to speak, another herald rushed up quickly: "Qiqi two generals, General Beilu urgently report!" ”
The expressions on Xiao Maha and Chun Yuliang's faces changed, Xiao Maha quickly took the battle report, opened it and took a look, and took a deep breath: "Twenty thousand cavalry." ”
Chun Yuliang's fist didn't help but feel clenched.
If I guessed correctly, this was the enemy's reinforcements, and they had been waiting for a long time, and what they wanted to wait for was this opportunity in front of them.
Above the water, the sailor's ship is still moving forward little by little, although it is definitely only a matter of time to take the trestle, but it may not be so simple to want the sailor to withdraw for a while.
Chun Yuliang said in a low voice: "The army under Fan Cheng doesn't know if it can withdraw half of it. ”
"There is no possibility," Xiao Maha said lightly, "If there are only 5,000 soldiers and horses left to block the enemy, I'm afraid he won't even have the ability to resist a single face, Lu Guangda doesn't have so much time at all, and all he can do now is to hope that he can stop the enemy's cavalry, as long as he repels this attack, he can still try to retreat some men and horses." ”
Chun Yuliang took a breath lightly, he knew that here in Xiao Maha, Lu Guangda's army seemed to have become an outcast, and whether he could survive or not depended on God's creation. However, Xiao Maha lured enemy reinforcements at the cost of this, and completely cut off the connection between Xiangyang and Fancheng, which did not seem to be a completely loss-making deal.
It's just ······ How much blood burns, and how many lives are gone?
——————————————--
"Report to the general, the enemy's cavalry is still five miles away from our army's big array!" The meteor scout horse rushed into the formation quickly, and rushed to the Dianjiang platform in three steps and two steps.
Lu Guangda took a deep breath of cool air, and subconsciously looked back to see that the sailor warship had begun to dock on the improvised dock, and the Nanchen infantry of the brigade was boarding the ship. But Lu Guangda knew very well in his heart that the cavalry, which was only five miles away from the army, could almost be said to appear in front of him in an instant, and it was not so easy for the tens of thousands of soldiers under his command to all get on the ship and retreat to the south bank of the water.
Several generals also walked over quickly, they were already very aware of the danger in front of them, or even from the first day of crossing the water, they were ready to face the enemy's army coming to support them at any time.
When the sentinel found the enemy's cavalry, in fact, these generals, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, did not panic much, but quickly gathered their troops and relied on the camp to form a formation to prepare for defense. All kinds of baggage vehicles have been pushed out, and a line of defense has been rearranged along the trench outside the camp.
It is not a luxury to be able to resist 20,000 cavalry with 10,000 foot soldiers, but as long as you can withdraw most of the main force back, it is considered a victory.
"Twenty thousand cavalry." Lu Guangda pondered, he didn't need to think about it to know that it must be the enemy's vanguard, and there was no banner in the army, so he didn't know who was leading the army. Lu Guangda knew better that behind this cavalry, there must be more foot cavalry, which could let 20,000 cavalry as the vanguard, and there should be at least 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses behind it.
In order to rescue Xiangyang, the enemy really put on a lot of pomp.
"How long is it expected to take for all of our men to get on board?" Lu Guangda's fingers tapped lightly on the hilt of the sword, and he had to know it in his heart.
"Three hours is for sure," replied one of the lieutenants, hastily, "and the sailors are still attacking the trestle between the two cities, so there is no way to draw too many ships to help transport them." And the general also knew that this trestle had to be cut. ”
Lu Guangda bowed slightly, what the enemy wanted to hold was obviously the time when the Nan Chen Shui Division was fighting in front, after all, Nan Chen's control of the entire Shuishui Division was the existence that really threatened the safety of Xiangyang and Fancheng, so it was reasonable for the enemy to appear at this time.
