Zheng Kaiyuan hurriedly surrendered his hand: "The craftsmen in the army have cooperated to build ten ships, and there are thirty-six bamboo rafts and rafts built by the army themselves, which can transport five hundred people to the other side at a time." If we step up now, we may be able to add twenty more in two hours······"

"Too little." Pei Zilie gritted his teeth.

However, he also knew that this was almost the limit for the soldiers under his command who had been tired for a long time, especially if they tossed like this tonight, I am afraid that there will be very few people with full physical strength.

"But transporting 500 people, once discovered by the enemy, is counterattacked, it is really too dangerous!" Li Xun couldn't help but say.

Chen Zhishen took a step forward: "General, five hundred people will be five hundred, and the last general will invite himself to lead five hundred subordinates to cross the river first!" ”

Li Xun and Zheng Kaiyuan were both a little stunned, Wei Chishun's department had three or four thousand people anyway, plus the six or seven thousand people who were originally here, and it was a bit too big to send only five hundred people.

Once something happens, it will not be so easy for Pei Zilie to cross Tanxi in a short period of time.

But Pei Zilie didn't want to watch Wei Chishun retreat to Xiangyang City with so many soldiers and horses, because this undoubtedly meant that the difficulty of attacking Xiangyang would be greatly increased in the future, which Pei Zilie didn't want to see.

In an instant, Pei Zilie thought of what Li Xinchen had said to him outside Fangling City.

Don't miss the opportunity, and never miss it.

Do you want to watch this opportunity fly away this time this time?

"Chen Zhishen listened to the order, and you led five hundred soldiers and horses from the headquarters to cross Tanxi, and all the ships in the army were dispatched by you, and all the soldiers who could swim across the river were selected and cooperated with the boats to swim over!" Pei Zilie said loudly.

Chen Zhishen was suddenly overjoyed, and solemnly arched his hand: "No! ”

And Pei Zilie then said in a deep voice: "The rest of the departments, restrain the soldiers, reorganize the soldiers and horses, and prepare to cross the river!" ”

"No!"

Watching Chen Zhishen and the others leave quickly, Pei Zilie exhaled softly.

It was worth it to exchange five hundred soldiers for a possible big victory.

——————————-

I walked through the busy crowd first.

He is the Bashu general on the hillside just now, and now he has changed into the armor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, with his chest high and his head up, he looks a little bit like him. And several soldiers behind him followed him closely, obviously somewhat nervous.

"You guys, come here and help!" A general apparently noticed these "idle" guys.

Zeng Xian hurriedly responded, and helped the Northern Zhou General to carry a few bags of grain into the car, and while moving, Zeng Xian asked curiously: "Boss, are we really going back to the city?" This Tanxi can't hold it? ”

"Where did you get all that gossip!" The general immediately raised his eyebrows and scolded, "Shangguan's thoughts, it's your turn to figure it out?!" ”

Zeng Xian suddenly stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to speak. The general obviously did not directly put this question behind him, but looked back at the camp not far away with some concern. The lights in the big tent of the Chinese army are still bright, and it is obvious that Wei Chishun has no intention of leaving in a hurry at this time.

Zeng Xian's expression also noticed it, and while making a look at his subordinates, he squeezed inside, and the general also noticed at this time not only Zeng Xian and the others, but also the rest of the busy soldiers next to him also looked at him curiously.

Obviously, they were also surprised by the sudden retreat order.

Although the previous battle on the other side of Tanxi was defeated, the defense line on the side of Tanxi has been built for more than half a month, the camp is strong, there is a lot of grain and grass, and it is not difficult to rely on Tanxi to hold on, and I don't know how to retreat.

A soldier couldn't help but say: "I heard that the side of Da Xian Mountain is almost unable to support it, so let's go at this time, because we are afraid that we will be outflanked after Da Xian Mountain is lost." ”

"Still outflanking the back road, haven't you heard that Fancheng has been surrounded by Li Xinchen's group, where do we have any back road now!"

"Is that true?"

"My brother-in-law is on Xiangyang City, and yesterday he saw with his own eyes that the black pressure around Fancheng was Li Xinchen's military village!"

"It seems that Fancheng can't hold it, and once Fancheng is lost, we will really be alone!"

Zeng Xian also looked worried at this time: "The reinforcements of the imperial court are far away, and this Xiangyang City doesn't know if it can be defended." ”

"It's all quiet!" The general interrupted in a cold voice, "Now is the very time, shut your mouth to Lao Tzu, you are not allowed to say such words that disturb the morale of the army, otherwise Lao Tzu will ask you!" ”

The soldiers were suddenly silent, "disturbing the morale of the army" was to kill their heads, and they could not afford this crime.

Just as the building would continue to command the soldiers to carry the grain and grass, a herald ran over quickly, lowered his voice and said: "The general has an order, take away the grain and grass that can be taken away, and leave what you can't take away." ”

"But ······" The general was a little surprised.

"We'll be back soon," added the herald, "just do what you're arranged!" ”

The general nodded hurriedly, but he didn't notice that Zeng Xian had moved to his side just now, and heard all the words of the herald in his ears, but at this time Zeng Xian left with the food bag on his shoulder.

The figures are full of busy soldiers, and this general didn't realize that the few soldiers with broken mouths just now left, and now everyone in the entire camp is busy transporting grain and grass and sorting things, and the departure of a few small soldiers is obviously not enough to attract their attention. The general was so preoccupied that he just beckoned his men to work, but he didn't know that the most important news had reached the ears of the enemy.

"There's a deception," Zeng Xian whispered as he put the food packets on the car.

Several of the soldiers behind him were a little nervous.

"Don't panic, the enemy can't finish cleaning up for a while, Xiao Wang, you kid has always been clever, go back according to the way we came in, hurry to the other side to report the news, and tell the general that this retreat may be fraudulent. Also, tell the people on the hill to be careful. Zeng Xian arranged in a low voice, "The rest, follow me." ”

Seeing Xiao Wang turn around and leave quickly, Zeng first exhaled, picked up another grain bag, and walked towards a carriage closer to the Chinese army's tent.

A warlord next to the carriage saw these soldiers and scolded with a smile: "You guys, are you in the wrong place?" ”

"Oh, oops!" Zeng Xian suddenly made a look of annoyance.

The lord waved his hand: "Okay, don't bother, just throw it here, things have to be moved anyway, you guys come over to help, a certain subordinate is missing several people, and I don't know which guy is cheaper." ”

The warlord didn't mean to dig deeper, Zeng Xian breathed a sigh of relief, this place was already very close to the Chinese military camp tent, and more soldiers were helping to dismantle the camp tent, and with the help of the firelight, Zeng Xian saw several figures walking out of the camp tent at a glance.
