The Nanchen army under Jiangling City is not enough in the first place, and Jiangling City is a notoriously strong city, and there are long-established veterans such as Lu Teng in the city. Even if Xiao Maha and others besieged it day and night, Jiangling still had no intention of wavering.

Therefore, for Nan Chen, it can really be said that every soldier is precious. Now that Xiao Maha has drawn out 5,000 men and horses, it means that the army besieging Nanchen will lose a lot of strength, and this Jiangling City is estimated to be even more difficult to overcome······

Although Pei Zilie knew how much reinforcements were needed in Zhangshan County, he knew better what the purpose of Li Xinchen and Xiao Shilian going north was to block Wei Chi Yu so that Xiao Maha could step up his attack on Jiangling City, but if he did it now, would he abandon his roots?

After all, the best way to solve the dilemma of Zhangshan County is to take Gangneung!

Xiao Maha turned around and stretched out his hand to lift the curtain of the tent, and shouted at the Jiangling City outside: "Do you think that this Jiangling City can be taken in a day and a half, even if Xiao Yue has fallen into our hands?" ”

Pei Zilie suddenly took a light breath.

Throughout the ages, with sufficient soldiers and a large amount of food and grass, it is impossible for a fortified city to be taken in just a few days. When the Wuhu was chaotic in China, the Huns from the north to the south in order to attack Luoyang, again and again under the city, and finally had no choice but to adopt the strategy of encirclement by the army, and it took a few years to sweep the granary city around Luoyang, forcing the city of Luoyang to run out of grain and water, and had to organize a breakthrough, and Luoyang fell into the hands of the Xiongnu Liu.

And now the Jiangling City in front of him is not as good as Luoyang, which was the national capital at that time, but it is not much worse, not to mention that Lu Teng, who is sitting in the city, has been the governor of Jiangling for many years, and he can be said to know this city well, so there is no doubt that the difficulty of attacking is even more difficult.

Once Wei Chi's reinforcements reach the outskirts of Jiangling, it will undoubtedly be an uplift and boost to the morale of the defenders, and then this Jiangling City may be more difficult to take, and with Lu Teng's ability, he will definitely wait for the opportunity to break through.

Especially now that Lu Guangda in the south of the city is fine, Fan Yi in the west of the city will not listen to Xiao Maha's dispatch, and maybe he will be happy to see Xiao Maha and Wei Chi Hui fight, so that he will be more sure of rushing into Jiangling City first.

Therefore, Xiao Maha handed over the 5,000 soldiers and horses to Pei Zilie, obviously not wanting Pei Zilie to just rescue, but needing Pei Zilie and Li Xinchen to use the combined 7,000 men and horses to hold Zhangshan County until Jiangling City fell into the hands of Nan Chen.

Before, Xiao Maha still needed to worry about the trouble caused by the reinforcements in Xiangyang, but now that Zhangshan County has fallen into his own hands, there is naturally no reason to spit it out again.

Pei Zilie nodded solemnly, he knew very well that his departure might mean that there would be no more reinforcements in Zhangshan County, and it would be far away to defend the city.

"Can the general give an exact date?" Pei Zilie raised his head and said. He was not afraid of dying in battle, nor was he afraid of resisting Wei Chi Yuan head-on with so many people, he just wanted to have a bottom in his heart and be able to explain to Li Xinchen and Xiao Shilian.

Xiao Maha was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "At least seven days, more than half a month, reinforcements will arrive." A certain will send an order to General Ren and General Chunyu of Yingzhou to try to get closer to you or send troops to contain the flank of Xiangyang. But in case you see each other, be sure to bring all the food and grass with you when you leave, because you are likely to be facing a siege as well. ”

"The last general will not be dishonored!" Pei Zilie didn't say anything more this time, and bowed his hand directly.

"Boom!"

At the moment when Pei Zilie stretched out his hand to lift the curtain of the camp tent, thunder exploded violently from the sky, and the electric light split the dark clouds, illuminating the entire battlefield. With the electric light in his eyes like a wild snake dancing, Pei Zilie's footsteps paused slightly, and he walked straight out.

The bean-sized raindrops slammed down on his armor, and he ignored it.

And behind Pei Zilie, Xiao Maha also saw the electric light and thunder that illuminated the heavens and the earth, he just squinted his eyes slightly, turned to look at the map again, and directly lifted the pen and marked a few strokes on the location of Zhangshan County on the map.

The bright red markings are like the color of blood.

"Boom!" Behind Xiao Maha, there was another thunderous explosion, and the dancing electric light seemed to be directly aimed at the Chinese army's big tent this time, and countless rays of light passed through the rolled up curtain without restraint, illuminating the big tent brightly.

"Kill!" An earth-shattering killing sound once again overshadowed the thunder, becoming the only sound between the entire heaven and earth.

In the midst of the wind and thunder, up and down Gangneung City, the war continues!

——————————————————-

The water flows mightily to the south, and the already wide river surface is even more turbid in the wind and rain. The fields and mountains on both sides of the bank are shrouded in wind and rain, and only the outline can be faintly seen.

"It's raining so hard!" Xiao Shilian rushed in from the outside wearing a hat and a cloak and rushed to the corridor. And several guards who had been waiting there for a long time hurriedly stepped forward and hurriedly helped him take off his coat.

Looking at the scolding Xiao Shilian, Li Xinchen couldn't help laughing, reached out and took a sip of tea from the teacup: "You won't stop such a heavy rain, so did you find anything in the end?" ”

"You can find a ghost!" Xiao Shilian snorted, threw the hat aside, strode in and drank a cup of hot tea first, "There are not a few people in the entire city and outside the city, and the rest of the mansions are also empty, and the officials of Xiliang, more precisely, the officials of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, have already run clean." ”

Li Xinchen lifted the teapot and poured Xiao Shilian another cup, and said with a smile: "If you drink water like a cow, such a good tea is really wasted by you, if you let Shen Gong and them know that you always do such things as burning the qin and cooking cranes, I don't know what it looks like." ”

"The Tiangao Emperor is far away, can they manage it?" Xiao Shilian said angrily.

Zhangshan County is still in the north of Jiangling, and there is indeed nothing wrong with saying that Emperor Tiangao is far away.

Li Xinchen smiled to himself, and then mocked: "It's as if you can't do such a thing under the nose of the Emperor of Jiankang Mansion." ”

Xiao Shilian was still gulping down tea, and he still seemed to feel unhappy, so he wiped his mouth with his sleeve, untied the water bladder that he had always kept with him and threw it to the guard next to him, and said with a smile: "This person is in the world, all he wants is to be accessible and happy, what he wants to do, how can he be happy with so many constraints?" ”

This time, Li Xinchen was stunned, looking at his grinning companion, Li Xinchen raised his eyebrows, but he didn't say anything.

Xiao Shilian is Xiao Shilian, he Li Xinchen is Li Xinchen, everyone has a different background and different experiences, so it is naturally impossible to impose the will of one person on another person.
