Chapter 251: Mountains and Tsunami
At this time, the opponent was already very strong, and it was reasonable for Li Xinchen to have some respect for veterans like Wei Chi Yuan, who had been famous for a long time, but in any case, the two sides had just fought a big battle and were enemies who never died.
This will inevitably destroy one's own prestige and increase the morale of others.
But before Xiao Shilian could speak, Li Xinchen then said in a cold voice: "I don't know why the old general came at the risk of death?" β
Wei Chi squinted, he didn't know where this "Li Xinchen", who he had never heard of before, came from, but listening to the voice should be a rather young general. And Nan Chen's general, Wei Chi Hui also knows quite well.
The biggest problem faced by Nan Chen in recent years is the overall aging of the general system, whether it is Wu Mingche or Chun Yuliang, Nan Chen can take out some old generals who are old generals, and the Northern Zhou side from the steady veteran to the young generals who dare to fight and kill, quite level, there is a sharp contrast.
This time, Nan Chen suddenly used Xiao Maha as the commander, although it was a little unexpected, but it was also expected, obviously Nan Chen also wanted to temper his next generation of generals through this war. It's just that in Wei Chiyu's opinion, Xiao Maha, who is in his forties, is not young, really let him grow up and be stable, how long will it take, how many wars?
And can Nan Chen still be able to hold up in front of Bei Zhou for so long?
As for Nan Chen's younger generals, in Wei Chi Yuan's opinion, there is only one Pei Zilie who can be eye-catching, and this Pei Zilie has not had any merits that he can do before, but he thinks that he has been following Wu Mingche all the time, and he should be able to learn a lot.
And except for Pei Zilie, Wei Chi Hui really hasn't heard of any young Nan Chen general who has the ability to take charge of himself, but Chen Shuling, the second prince of Nan Chen, was also a talented general before, but Wei Chi Hui also knew that with Chen Ji's character, it was impossible to give him the opportunity to gallop on the battlefield.
Therefore, when Wei Chi Hui learned that the Nanchen general guarding the city was quite young, the first person he thought of was Pei Zilie, but he didn't expect that the young general in this city was not this rumored young general, but a "Li Xinchen" whose name he had never heard of.
I don't know what Xiao Maha took a fancy to this young man, and let him come to guard Zhangshan County, which has undoubtedly become a key point. Of course, Wei Chi Yu is not so arrogant that he thinks that Xiao Maha doesn't even have the ability to recognize people, so this can only show that this young man is not an easy master to deal with.
It may even be a few points more powerful than that Pei Zilie.
But no matter who it is, in Wei Chiyu's opinion, after all, it is just his future subordinate. Immediately, he said aloud: "General Li in the city and all the soldiers of the Chen State, you must also know that there are 20,000 battle-hardened Da Zhou Erlang in front of you, and how many of you are, you yourself know, and the old man also knows, so there is no need for the old man to say more about which is stronger and which is weaker." β
"You've said a lot." Li Xinchen replied without hesitation.
These words, with disdain, indifference and contempt, fell from the city and sounded loudly.
Suddenly, Wei Chi Yu's face changed slightly, and he was choked by this sentence. And bursts of ridicule erupted from the city, and it was obvious that the soldiers of Nan Chen were very happy with Li Xinchen's sudden cynicism.
And the generals of the Northern Zhou Dynasty behind Wei Chi were even more subconsciously strategic. What does this mean?! It is clear that General Wei Chi was not taken into account, let alone in their eyes! This made these generals who had experienced the command of Yang Jian and Wei Chi Yuan, two famous generals of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, very angry.
What a frog at the bottom of a well!
Wei Chi Yu coughed lightly, stretched out his hand to ask the generals behind him not to be impulsive, and then said unhurriedly:
"General Li is still young, maybe he doesn't know the cruelty and tragedy of this war, if the old man orders the siege of the city, these soldiers of my Great Zhou who are holding torches behind will definitely go all out, and then the little general thinks, how long can you hold out on to the three thousand men and horses under your command? Are you really naΓ―ve to think that with this Zhangshan County, you can stop the old man?! β
Li Xinchen frowned, he didn't expect that this old guy knew his details very well, but he didn't blame others, when Li Xinchen and Xiao Shilian led the army into the city, they had undoubtedly exposed the number of their troops, and many of those forward scouts had escaped, so they must have reported the news to Wei Chiyu.
And Li Xinchen also had to admire Wei Chi Yuan, this old guy came up and grasped the biggest weakness of Nan Chen's army, and these words not only suppressed the morale of Nan Chen, but also boosted the morale of Northern Zhou by the way.
Just look at the generals with their heads held high and the soldiers standing solemnly around them, you can know how much these words inspire them.
"The old general is also thinking too simply!" Li Xinchen laughed and said, "If this Zhangshan County is so easy to take, I'm afraid that the corpses of your people under this city will not agree!" And you might as well ask these big Chen Erlang around you, they don't agree! β
"Disagree!" Xiao Shilian was the first to raise his arms and shout.
"Disagree!" Chen Zhishen and other generals blushed.
"Disagree!" Voices rang out one after another on the city walls, and every Nan Chen soldier was shouting, and the breath rolled out of their chests, shaking the air around them, and also shaking the entire heaven and earth.
Everyone is desperately trying to kill here, so many brothers are buried in the bones, and they don't die, no one wants to take this Zhangshan County away!
Wei Chi Hui's face changed, in front of him, the corpses that had spread all the way to the city wall were the most clear confirmation of Li Xinchen's words, the striker came quickly before, but he was indeed a little too hasty, and he really hit his head under the city and broke the blood.
In this regard, Wei Chi Yu did not punish the generals who led the forwards, after all, it was not wrong for them to do so.
The strength of the forward is also five or six thousand, which is more than twice the number of defenders in the city, plus they are all selected elites, and they are equipped with cavalry to suppress the formation, so it stands to reason that they have an overwhelming advantage over the city.
It is not impossible to take this city in one storm, in Wei Chiyu's opinion, not to mention those young and vigorous generals.
As a result, who would have thought that the vanguard came with a fierce momentum, and the defenders were also stubborn, and the Northern Zhou army rushed to the city several times, but they were all driven down, and in the end, the vanguard suffered heavy losses, and the morale was greatly damaged, and even affected the follow-up team.
It's good now, not to mention the morale of the defeated forwards, and the corpses they left behind have undoubtedly become a reason for the defenders to laugh at Wei Chi.
If you just refute Wei Chi Hui through this, then there is nothing terrible about this Li Xinchen, but she is just a poisonous tongue woman who likes to seize other people's failures and constantly sprinkle salt on her wounds, but Li Xinchen changed his words and directly attributed these to the courage of Nan Chen's soldiers, in Wei Chi Chen's opinion, there is a bit of effort.
The mountain roar and tsunami that erupted in the city undoubtedly confirmed Wei Chi's feelings.
"General Li, why are you doing this?!" Wei Chi Zhen frowned, he was really more and more unsure about this Li Xinchen, who spoke sometimes bitterly and sometimes hidden.
