A whining horn sounded from the bottom of the mountain.

Pei Zilie sat on a stone on the mountainside, wiping his saber.

From here, you can clearly see the continuous camp of the Northern Zhou Dynasty at the foot of the mountain. I have to say that Wei Shou set off from the Sword Pavilion late, but he came quickly, presumably initially wanting to have an unexpected effect. It's just that I'm afraid Wei Shou didn't expect that he was still halfway down, and fortresses like Mianzhuguan had already fallen into Pei Zilie's hands.

The loss of Mianzhu Pass means that Wei Shou can no longer go to Shu County through this road, and at this time, it is meaningless to transfer troops to Langzhong or Yinping Trail, so Wei Shou simply stationed troops under Mianzhu Pass and directly opened the formation to attack.

Unlike the main body of defense facing Shu County in Guancheng, the main body of defense in the direction of Sword Pavilion in Mianzhu Pass lies in Lutou Mountain on one side.

Three hundred years ago, Zhuge Zhan guarded Mianzhu Pass, did not pay attention to the defense of Lutou Mountain, and insisted on going down the mountain for a decisive battle, and finally died on the battlefield without insisting on Jiang Wei's reinforcement. Obviously, the current Pei Zilie is not stupid, he just sat on Lutou Mountain and watched Wei Shou toss under the mountain.

Wei Shou obviously also knows the importance of Lutou Mountain, which overlooks Mianzhu Pass City and guards the road from Luofengpo, which is a battleground, so Wei Shou also simply set up the camp at the foot of the mountain, facing Pei Zilie directly, and the intention of attacking is already obvious.

After all, in most cases, in the face of such a tightly defended Xiongguan, there is indeed no better choice than a strong attack. What's more, Wei Shou had an advantage in terms of troops, and he was not much stronger than Pei Zilie's troops at that time, so it was not impossible to attack.

"The general is calm." Xu Deyan looked at the Northern Zhou army that had begun to line up at the foot of the mountain, and couldn't help but say with a smile.

Pei Zilie picked up his saber, looked at his cheeks reflected in the spine of the snowy sword, and said with a smile: "Since he has made a decision in his heart, there is nothing to greet Wei Shou, if he wants to attack, then let the horse come." ”

Pei Zilie is deployed on the mountainside and the top of the mountain and the upper part of the city, there is no shortage of equipment and utensils to defend the city in this Mianzhu Pass, and Pei Zilie naturally unceremoniously uses them to arrange them on the defense lines everywhere, so although counting the surrendered soldiers under Zou Qiang, there are not many soldiers and horses under Pei Zilie's command, but it is not without the strength to fight.

Since they were all well prepared, Pei Zilie naturally had nothing to be nervous about.

"General Qiyu, the battle report from Shu County." A scout came briskly.

Pei Zilie and Xu Deyan raised their eyebrows at the same time, this is what they are interested in and worried about.

"It's been five days of siege," Pei Zilie glanced at and handed the battle report to Xu Deyan, "I have to say that the defenders of Shu County are stronger than someone imagined." ”

"After the news that Mianzhu Pass was taken by us is confirmed, I'm afraid they won't be so strong," Xu Deyan said in a deep voice, "The taste of the lonely Jedi is not pleasant, not to mention that Chen Zhishen and Wang Changke are not vegetarians, and the sailor warship stopped at the Pijiang River to directly attack the city, and it is not so easy to hold this Shu County." ”

Sometimes a big city is not necessarily a good thing, the bigger the city means that more troops are needed to defend it, of course, there are more city defense equipment and bows and crossbows and arrows, obviously the defenders in Shu County are not enough to defend this huge city, once Chen Zhishen and Wang Chang find a weak point, it is easy to open a gap in the defense of the city and attack the city.

After all, it is impossible for the defenders to be exhaustive, the key is whether Chen Zhishen and others have the ability to find the weakness of the forces that will inevitably exist.

Of course, Pei Zilie and Xu Deyan have no way to care about these things, and it is impossible for them to judge the battle situation in Shu County from far away in Mianzhu Pass, so they can only pin their hopes on Chen Zhishen and others.

"Lonely Jedi ······" Pei Zilie repeated the word gently, his brows furrowed slightly.

And Xu Deyan knew what Pei Zilie was worried about, and subconsciously looked to the east.

In Langzhong, Tiangongyuan Mountain, the situation faced by Li Xinchen's lone army is probably not much better than that of the defenders of Shu County.

In this battle, there is no doubt that Li Xinchen is the one who undertakes the most arduous task.

The horn sounded again, and the Northern Zhou army under the mountain slowly advanced in a neat array, and at the same time, you could see that the crossbowmen on both wings had lined up, ready to shoot arrows at any time on the mountain.

Pei Zilie slowly stood up and said in a deep voice: "It's useless for us to worry about Shu County and Tiangong Courtyard, so we can only fight the battle in front of us beautifully." ”

While speaking, Pei Zilie walked quickly to the big tent of the mountainside camp: "Order, all departments prepare for war, and raise a certain general flag!" ”

Xu Deyan quickly followed Pei Zilie, and his eyes subconsciously glanced down the mountain.

I have heard for a long time that Wei Shou is a tiger and a steady soldier, and he is a rare general, this time I want to see if it is worthy of its reputation!

————————————————--

"Boqing, Zidong." Li Xinchen strode into the conference hall and said hello to Xiao Shilian and Dai Cai, who were discussing something in a low voice.

When the two saw Li Xinchen walking in, they hurriedly bowed and saluted, and when they looked up, Xiao Shilian keenly saw the wet marks on the shoulders of Li Xinchen's clothes, and sighed softly in his heart. And Dai Cai said guiltily:

"The subordinates really couldn't stop the obsession of the two ladies, so they had no choice but to escort the two ladies and ask the two generals to forgive their sins."

Li Xinchen chuckled: "It's coming, it's coming, your difficulties are clear, and you don't need to feel guilty." The sister is stubborn, and the insiders are stubborn, but it makes Zidong laugh. ”

Dai is a descendant from a general, and there are not many people in Li Xinchen's group who can be introduced as confidants, in other words, most people are not something he can easily offend, so in the face of Li Li'er and Xiao Xiang, I am afraid that even Xiao Shilian and others have to consider it, let alone Dai Cai.

What's more, it is not a good thing to be able to take this opportunity to be able to leave a benefit to the two ladies, and Dai Cai is clear about this. Li Xinchen and Xiao Shilian are both people who feel sorry for their wives, and having a good reputation in the inner room of the two is very beneficial to Dai Cai's career in the future.

Xiao Shilian glanced at Dai Cai, who was also a smart person.

However, after thinking about it, he was keenly aware of Li Xinchen's ability, so as the first one to take refuge among the Bajun guards, and then he was loyal to Li Xinchen, this person really has a bit of vision and brains.

Li Xinchen had no time to greet Xiao Shilian and Dai Caiduo, and looked straight at the sand table that had just been made in the council hall. Compared with the sand table in Ba County, which covers most of the topography of the Bashu Mountains and Rivers, this sand table only includes Tiangongyuan Mountain, which is naturally much simpler.

In the north of the mountain, Li Xinchen could see a lot of small cyan flags, and couldn't help frowning slightly: "Wei Xiaokuan and Wei Chi came quite quickly. ”

"It's just scouts now, but there are a lot of them, and there is a lot of posture to see our defense line clearly." Xiao Shilian explained.
