Chapter 898: Under Liupan Mountain

"I didn't expect Yu Yi to move forward after all."

Li Xinchen returned to the hillside where he had originally stood, in fact, he took four hundred cavalry to venture forward, he did not want to be upset and stop Yu Yi, if he could force Jiang Yi to retreat to Yuntian or even Xiao Pass, it would naturally be better.

The forces in Li Xinchen's hands were really weak, so weak that he didn't want to fight with Yu Yi at all. At a critical time, the only thing that can really be counted on is the cavalry at hand, and those township soldiers of the family were still farmers carrying hoes in the field a few days ago, and it is already good to be able to fight a smooth battle.

But with Li Xinchen's current strength, how can he make up a good fight?

Cheng Feng said in a deep voice: "General, do we still want to disturb along the way now?" ”

Li Xinchen waved his hand: "Leave a team of people to watch, we will go to Liupan Mountain immediately, the top priority is to arrange the arrangement before them, and we also have to save our physical strength." ”

Since Yu Yi decided to move forward, it would definitely not be possible to go back to Liupan Mountain, and Li Xinchen did not believe that a veteran like Yu Yi would allow him to do something that went back on his word.

"No!" Cheng Feng responded.

And Li Xinchen raised the Ziyun spear and said loudly: "Brothers, you have all seen whether our enemy is strong or not, and what we have to do now is to go back, to Liupan Mountain, wait for them to send them to the door, and then turn these prey into our merits!" ”

Before the words fell, Li Xinchen had already rushed down the hill first, he didn't want to exaggerate the enemy's weakness and my strength, for these experienced veterans, whether the opponent was good or not, in the confrontation just now, they actually had a rough idea in their hearts, so Li Xinchen just told these soldiers what they needed to do.

They need to follow Li Xinchen and then create victory.

A horseman mounted his horse to follow, without hesitation.

————————————-

At the foot of Liupan Mountain, Niu Tong had already gotten the news as soon as possible, he didn't dare to slack off, the troops that were originally being repaired were assembled at the fastest speed, and a large number of garrison equipment built according to Li Xinchen's plan were also pushed to the position one after another.

For defense, Li Xinchen can also be regarded as quite experienced, the original battle of Tiangong Courtyard can be said to be a model of defensive counterattack, if it were not for Li Xinchen to stick to Tiangong Courtyard, causing Wei Xiaokuan and Wei Chi to be difficult to cross the Lei Chi half a step, I am afraid that the entire battle situation in Langzhong and the later battle situation in Cangxi Valley will change accordingly. And the battle of Tiangong Courtyard can be regarded as making Li Xinchen famous both inside and outside at once, but at that time, Li Xinchen was already known for being good at defense, so this is more of the icing on the cake, and the battle of Cangxi Valley that followed completely proved Li Xinchen's strength, so the battle of Cangxi Valley overshadowed the battle of Tiangong Yuan for a while, and became Li Xinchen's veritable fame.

But no one can forget that Li Xinchen's initial career was because the defense of Zhangshan County and the subsequent defensive battle of Tiangong Courtyard proved Li Xinchen's defensive ability, and this time Niu Tong naturally did not dare to have any slackness, and implemented Li Xinchen's requirements little by little.

Here is the remnant vein of Liupan Mountain, stretching for hundreds of miles, the tall and majestic Liupan Mountain is not majestic to this place, and over this small mountain range is Anding City, and there are large and small gaps in the mountain range, hundreds of years ago the Silk Road passed through here, and then went to Hexi, the Western Regions, and finally to the distant Daqin.

It's a pity that three hundred years of war have caused the Chinese nation to completely lose control of the Hexi Corridor and the Western Regions, not to mention the Silk Road, so these large and small trade routes have naturally been abandoned.

Now the roads between the valleys were blocked, and on the slopes on both sides of the valley were intertwined with winding ditches and earthen ramparts, and in front of the ditches were laid haphazard wooden stakes, between which were mostly overgrown with weeds, and only the paths curved upwards, and if you looked closely, you would find that all those who went up and down the hillsides would rather crowd these paths than cut corners, knowing that they must have been full of traps, and weeds were only used as a cover.

Niu Tong looked at the soldiers who were still holding hoes in their hands, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, Li Xinchen really brought the strengths of these peasant soldiers to the extreme, they didn't do any queue training these days, just built fortifications on the mountain like this, there are very detailed sketches drawn by Li Xinchen, and there are people who are specially left to supervise and guide, for these soldiers, digging is not a difficult task, most of them have basically been digging since birth. Facing the loess with his back to the sky, this is what farmers do best.

Li Xinchen obviously didn't plan to drive these soldiers, or the people were more accurate, to face off with the soldiers and horses under Yu Yi's command, even if Yu Yi came from afar, the soldiers and horses were tired, and these people had been here for a few days, whether it was Li Xinchen or Niu Tong, they all knew that there was actually not much chance of winning.

The difference between the regular army and the rabble cannot be made up by just waiting for work, not to mention that Yu Yi is trying to survive, and the will to fight will inevitably be strong. If he is defeated at the foot of Liupan Mountain, then I am afraid that he will not even have a chance to go back.

A famous lord and a general were running to and fro, and busy soldiers entered the tunnels and trenches, with bows and crossbows or short spears in their hands, and there were three or four hundred men as the first line of defense. These short spears are actually sharpened sticks, not for killing, but for throwing. There is no way to do this, the northwest is barren, and it is impossible to equip so many people with bows and arrows.

And in the trench behind, the close soldiers with swords in their hands were also ready to fight. That's right, in order to maximize range and lethality, crossbowmen and spearmen are not on the second line, but on the first line, so that these soldiers, who have little experience in actual combat, can give them more time to react and not let them shoot arrows at their own people in a panic.

Of course, the price they have to pay is that they are likely to be wiped out. Although the soldiers who are ready to fight in the back will rush up at the first time, there will be a certain window period before this, which is likely to lead to the Yu Yi army rushing up to slaughter these crossbowmen.

Just in case, all crossbowmen and spearmen were equipped with blades, but this kind of home-owned machetes and hoes were obviously far from being as easy as the blades used to kill people, so it would be good for them to protect themselves.

"Here we are." A sharp-eyed deviator points forward.

Li Xinchen's cavalry rushed ahead, and behind their flanks could be seen the advancing foot soldiers, as if they were the enemy in this battle.
