"Step by step," Cao Xiaoda muttered, and immediately laughed, "This is not Xiao Maha's usual style." ”

Wei Chikuan couldn't help frowning and said: "It seems that this time Xiao Maha is bound to Xiangyang City, otherwise it would be impossible to fight so steadily, and he doesn't intend to leave us any chance at all." ”

Cao Xiaoda stretched out his hand to support the city wall and was silent.

The situation in Xiangyang in front of him has obviously been unprecedentedly severe, the last time Xiao Maha entered Xiangyang, directly crossed the Da Xian Mountain and directly surrounded the entire Xiangyang City, but at least that time the Northern Zhou Dynasty reinforcements from all sides were coming in a steady stream, at least the situation in the court of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was far less dangerous than it is now.

At this time, although the defenders of Xiangyang still controlled the positions outside the city, although there were still tall city walls as barriers, Cao Xiaoda had no bottom in his heart, because he knew that the defenders of Xiangyang had actually become a lone army now.

A lone army without foreign aid.

As long as this situation lasts long enough, then there is a possibility that Xiangyang will be breached, or it will inevitably fall into the hands of the enemy.

Even Cao Xiaoda, who has always been moody, couldn't help frowning again and again, the mentality of Wei Chikuan and Wei Chishun and others can be imagined.

"Uncle, I don't know something," Wei Chi Kuan said thoughtfully, he knew that what he said had already questioned Cao Xiaoda's arrangement, "Now that Xiao Maha's soldiers and horses have been forced to Dan Xian Mountain, why do you still have to keep so many soldiers and horses along the Danxi River, the sixth brother has always fought bravely, and my uncle should transfer him to Dan Xian Mountain." ”

Cao Xiaoda said lightly: "Tanxi or Da Xianshan, which one is better to defend?" ”

Cao Xiaoda's question was very abrupt, and Wei Chikuan subconsciously replied: "Naturally, it is Da Xian Mountain." ”

"That's right, although there are many soldiers and horses on the side of Tanxi, it may not be able to stop the enemy for five days." Cao Xiaoda said in a deep voice, "But I believe that depending on the dangerous terrain of Da Xian Mountain, whether it is pure or small, it will not be able to take it down within five days." ”

"But ······" Wei Chikuan was a little surprised, subconsciously glanced at Cao Xiaoda, and saw that Cao Xiaoda didn't mean to stop him, so he thought about it and said, "Although the morale of Ren Zhong's department on the outside of Tanxi is high, but the troops are not much, and the front line is very long, if you want to stop them for five days, with half of the soldiers and horses we have now arranged in Danxi, it is enough to focus on guarding a few key places to swim over, why ······?"

Cao Xiaoda smiled slightly: "Because Ren Zhong is not our real opponent, what we want to deal with is still behind." ”

Wei Chikuan frowned, already understanding something: "Li Xinchen? ”

"That's right." Cao Xiaoda nodded dryly, "Li Xinchen is the most difficult enemy we will face in the direction of Danxi in the future, and this difficult thing is still to come······

Although Wei Chikuan had never dealt with Li Xinchen, but seeing the solemn expressions of Cao Xiaoda, Wei Chishun and others when they mentioned this name, Yu Chikuan knew what kind of enemy this was, at this time he took a deep breath and bowed his head slightly: "Since this is the case, it is still according to my uncle's arrangement, but it is ······ over there in Da Xian Mountain."

"If you can't support it, withdraw it, the old man will go back to Da Xian Mountain tomorrow, and take advantage of Li Xinchen's not yet come, hurry up and clean up the situation in Da Xian Mountain," Cao Xiaoda said in a low voice, "As for this city, we must keep an eye on it, Xiao Maha has been plotting Xiangyang for a long time, and there must be his secret agents in the city, so our every move may fall into Xiao Maha's eyes, so everything must be cautious." ”

Wei Chikuan nodded solemnly: "Please rest assured, uncle." ”

Cao Xiaoda silently turned around and looked out of the city, on the vast wilderness, Da Xian Mountain rose from the ground, blocking half of the view, and on the other side of Da Xian Mountain, the Nan Chen army was already in formation, ready to directly bulldoze this mountain that was steep but not big.

Farther north, a hungry wolf has already shown its claws.

"Send someone to cross the water at night to contact Fancheng, and be sure to let the defenders of Fancheng guard Dunse. Xiao Maha only sent a partial division in the direction of Suizhou, and did not carry many large siege equipment, so the threat to Fancheng was not great, and the key was Li Xinchen. Cao Xiaoda then added.

The first thing the Nanchen Sailor came to was to pull out the trestle bridge between Fancheng and Xiangyang, this trestle was devastating in the last Xiao Maha attack, and now it is actually just a simple trestle, and Cao Xiaoda did not mean to defend on this trestle, the last time the Nanchen Sailor destroyed the general attack, he had already told Cao Xiaoda that the Northern Zhou obviously did not have any advantage on the water.

Therefore, Cao Xiaoda simply focused his defense directly on the nodes outside the city, but he also knew in his heart that whether it was Tanxi or Da Xianshan, it was not a place where the whole man was in charge and ten thousand people could not be opened, so he knew that the Nanchen army formed a sufficient strength advantage or could besiege for a long time, so it was destined to have a breakthrough.

What's more, Nan Chen's sailors were already wandering in the water, if it weren't for the lack of support from the land division here, which made the attack meaningless, I am afraid that the trebuchets and crossbow arrows of the sailors' warships would have fallen on the city at this time.

In the end, Cao Xiaoda can only rely on the city wall under his feet.

But although Xiangyang City is high, how long can it be blocked?

What can really save Xiangyang is not in Xiangyang City at all, but in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, in Yu Wenxian and Yang Jian, who hold a large army.

It's just that at this time, who will take the initiative to send out the soldiers and horses in their hands at this time? You must know that at such a critical juncture of confrontation, the transfer of troops and horses by either side will cause the original balance to be out of balance, and the other side will definitely not give up the opportunity in front of it, and will simply put the opponent to death.

Regardless of whether Yu Wenxian will hesitate, at least Cao Xiaoda believes that Yang Jian will definitely not hesitate in this matter.

So nine times out of ten, this reinforcement will not come.

In the next war, we still need to rely on ourselves to support ourselves.

After nearly 30 years in the army, this is probably the most difficult battle.

At this moment, Cao Xiaoda thought of He Lou Zigan and Li Xun, and sighed low in his heart, hoping that it was not his last battle.

——————————————-

"Cao Xiaoda really looks up to me," Li Xinchen casually dropped the information sent by Tanma, the Northern Zhou army retreated in the area of Da Xian Mountain, but it still maintained a large number of troops on the side of Tanxi, and its purpose was self-evident, as if it was waiting for Li Xinchen.

Dai Cai and the others next to each other looked at each other and smiled bitterly, Li Xinchen beat Dai Cai so badly in Cangxi Valley, and he didn't blame others for holding grudges.

And Li Xinchen then said: "We attack step by step, Dunse is not a big city, it shouldn't stop us for too long, and send someone to get in touch with Chun Yucen, there are not many enemies on Fancheng's side, and he doesn't need to drag it out there." ”
