Chapter 742: No Movement
When Xiao Shilian's guards dragged Xiao Shilian down the hill with trepidation, the banner had already appeared in front of the array of the Northern Zhou army, and the two sides of the front collided fiercely and stalemate, but soon the front that originally seemed insurmountable was torn apart, and then collapsed.
The guards looked at each other silently, after all, they were all a group of hot-blooded young people, when they rushed up just now, everyone rushed to their heads, and they didn't care about anything, now thinking about such a dangerous situation for the general to take the lead in the charge, it is really dangerous.
But fortunately, God favors it.
The guards gasped lowly, surveying the battlefield ahead. And Xiao Shilian's eyes are the same as theirs. When the battle line was loosened, Xiao Shilian did not reluctantly stay in the front.
That banner had been rushing to the front, and broke through the defenses that the Northern Zhou army had once again hastily organized, and the Bashu soldiers roared forward to divide and surround the Northern Zhou army on the hillside. Others took the opportunity to rush straight into the hay field.
"Tang Zhong, this kid, hasn't forgotten what is the most important thing." Xiao Shilian couldn't help laughing and scolding.
He didn't blame Tang Zhong for the previous failure, in the final analysis, Tang Zhong was just a fledgling general, he just followed Xiao Shilian and Li Xinchen to participate in several battles, and he didn't command the battle alone.
Facts have proved that Tang Zhong has done a good job, and Xiao Shilian himself does not even dare to guarantee that if he encounters such a situation when he is commanding a battle for the first time, he can easily solve it, and maybe he will die in the end without knowing what the reason is.
At this time, remembering the excitement when he led more than 100 soldiers, Xiao Shilian could only smile to himself. The growth of a general needs the test of time and the tempering of war, and even ugly and realistic, it is piled up with a lot of white bones.
Not everyone is as demonic as Li Xinchen, and there are few natural undefeated generals, Tang Zhong's performance is enough to prove his ability, and he will definitely be a heavy general in time.
"Outflank on the left, block on the right!" Tang Zhong's voice sounded from the hillside again, compared to the helplessness and hideousness before, this time it became much calmer. A group of Bashu soldiers followed the dancing banners and ran around, and the Northern Zhou army finally lost its fighting spirit and inevitably suffered a rout after being broken through the defense line one after another.
Li Tan retreated in a hurry along the other side of the hill under the escort of several personal guards. Below this hillside is the rushing water. However, it is obvious that the Bashu army is not more interested in these remnants of the defeated generals, but in the grain and forage on the hillside, so no one rushed up directly for a while.
Or for them, the water is in front, and these routs are simply turtles in an urn without boats.
In an instant, Li Tan regretted the decision he had made before.
Before, he was afraid that keeping ships on the south bank might give Xiao Shilian, who had always been good at surprise advances, an opportunity, so he simply transferred all the ships to the north shore, although the water was turbulent, but it was not very wide, even if it was after the fight here, it would be too late for the ships on the north bank to rush over to support.
After all, there are still a few Hanzhong defenders' camps across the river from this camp on the north bank, although the defenders there are only more than 2,000 people, but it is still possible to support the battle or even cover Li Tan's retreat.
It's just that until now, there has been no movement on the north shore at all, and those camps seem to be watching like this.
Watching the fire from the other side, I'm afraid that's the case.
Li Tanchang sighed, he didn't know what Niu Hong wanted to do, but at this moment he vaguely felt that this battle was far from being as easy and simple as Li Xun imagined. Li Xinchen didn't just come prepared.
The north shore, where there was no movement, seemed to be telling Li Tan.
Hanzhong has long been Li Xinchen's, and they are the only ones who are fighting here with difficulty.
"General, the enemy has come here!" One of the guards said in a panic, "Subordinates wait to escort the general over to the water!" ”
"How can you get through the turbulent water?" Li Tan sighed, "In the middle of hesitation, even the forage field didn't have time to burn down, this battle ······ lost too completely, what kind of face does so-and-so have to go to see his brother? ”
While speaking, Li Tan pulled out his saber and slammed it on his neck!
Blood splattered!
Several guards immediately fell to their knees and cried.
And Li Tan's eyes widened, looking at the Bashu army pouring down from the hillside in front of him, and he was unwilling. In fact, there was one more sentence that he did not utter.
Maybe the North Shore is no longer the territory of the Northern Zhou, so what's the use of being in the past at this time?
Looking at Li Tan's corpse, Xiao Shilian put away his saber and sighed softly. Although he brought a lot of casualties to his subordinates, Xiao Shilian still had to admit that this Li Tan was a man.
Whether it is in the formation at all levels or in terms of command, there is nothing to criticize. It's a pity that Li Tan didn't see the current situation clearly after all, or he didn't know how many people were still looking for the Northern Zhou Dynasty and how many people were looking for Li Xinchen on the one-acre and three-point land in Hanzhong.
It seems that there is even a military advantage in the Northern Zhou region, but in fact it is not.
"When the struggle above the clouds involves you, you can't resist at all." Xiao Shilian said pityingly, turned to leave, and ordered, "Let his guards collect the bones and bury themselves." ”
As he spoke, Xiao Shilian walked slowly towards the hillside.
As he walked step by step to a higher position, he was already able to see more clearly the changes in the fog of this troubled world. The so-called troubled times, the so-called struggles, are actually more evolved from intrigue above the clouds.
When political intrigue and calculation cannot solve the problem, the only way to fight is through the means of war, and when the people on the clouds are questioned, they can only use war to divert the condemnation of various strata against him.
When all these interests and needs are combined, war breaks out, lives are devastated, and the chaotic times are still there.
Three hundred years, again and again, it is like a reincarnation without boundaries and bottom lines.
Xiao Shilian knew what Li Xinchen wanted to do, and he wanted to end this troubled world, not just a corner of peace. The dream of ending troubled times is not something that no one has never had before, and it can even be said that every generation has such a dream.
But when one or two people have such a dream, more people will stand up and stop them. Because these two people have come to the top of the times, it will inevitably damage their interests, and at the same time, they may also follow these two people to take unnecessary risks.
This is more than worth the cost for most people.
