Chapter 573: Exhausted

The fire flew with a roar and landed on the house, and in no time the thatch on the house was ignited, and the fire burst into flames.

"Go up to the Arrow Tower, hurry up!" Several Northern Zhou generals and battle lords looked pale, they never thought that the enemy would attack places like Changgu when Cui Hongdu had left.

Changgu is the core of the defense system on the north side of the entire Cangxi Valley, and it is also the location of the former He Lou Zigan and now Cui Hongdu's handsome tent. Here, the road in Cangxi Valley suddenly contracted, forming a long and narrow valley, and the large camp of the Northern Zhou army and the council hall were set up on an open flat land on the north side of Changgu.

The most dangerous part of this long valley is the valley area on the south side, so this flat land on the north side can be said to be easy to attack and difficult to defend.

Xiao Shilian came quickly, and his subordinates were only three or four hundred, but they were all elites selected from various departments of the Ba people. After several troop transfers, Changgu's troops have been empty to a certain extent, so even Xiao Shilian's troops are not very sufficient, and it is more than enough to deal with the two or three hundred old, weak, sick and disabled people who stayed in Changgu.

It can be said that this Changgu is Li Xinchen's real goal, and Xiao Shilian's blow is the most important in Li Xinchen's entire scheduling.

Cui Hongdu and the rest of the Northern Zhou generals never thought that when Li Xinchen attacked the mountain on the north side of Xujiagou, he would still have the kung fu to divide his troops to fight this long valley.

It's not that Cui Hongdu's soldiers and horses are not competitive, nor that these levels are too easy to take, but it's just that Li Xinchen took advantage of a time difference to skillfully disperse and transfer Cui Hongdu's troops.

When Li Xinchen attacked Xujiagou before, Cui Hongdu was still gathering troops in Changgu, and when Li Xinchen had already taken Xujiagou and led the army north along Cangxi Valley Avenue, Cui Hongdu arrived in Xujiagou, but it was too late at this time.

Because Li Xinchen's headquarters has broken through the virtual barrier on the north side of Cangxi Valley, and Xiao Shilian is doing it outside Changgu, so now Cui Hong is in the empty Xujiagou, but he can only watch the north and south ends lose at the same time.

It's not that Cui Hongdu doesn't have the ability to hold these places, but when Li Xinchen attacked, Cui Hongdu's main force was no longer there, and taking advantage of this time difference, Li Xinchen could take the remaining Northern Zhou army by surprise.

"Kill!" Xiao Shilian roared angrily and raised the knife in his hand.

The arrows whistled and flew up the tower, and the Northern Zhou soldiers continued to fall to the ground with arrows, and Xiao Shilian waved his hand, and the Ba people behind him threw the rope, and the plum blossom claws hooked the wall, and the vigorous figures easily jumped on the wall, and immediately killed them.

A moment later, the gate of the camp opened, and all that caught Xiao Shilian's eyes was the burning houses and the enemies fleeing for their lives.

Xiao Shilian clapped his hands, Li Xinchen was really the same Li Xinchen he was familiar with, and he did not lose confidence because of some episodes in the previous battle between He Louzi, he still worked out an almost perfect plan, and finally won the entire battle.

"Clear the treasury, seal the Chinese books in the council hall, extinguish the fire, and collect the prisoners!" Xiao Shilian strode into the council hall in the camp and gave an order loudly.

Standing on the steps where Wei Xiaokuan, He Lou Zigan and others had stopped, Xiao Shilian subconsciously turned around, the flag of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was slowly falling, and several Nanchen soldiers didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, they stepped directly on the flag, and the cyan flag was stained with muddy footprints, and these soldiers turned around and slowly raised the red flag.

A ray of sunshine sprinkled in this camp, Xiao Shilian squinted slightly, Changgu's side has already been won, and the rest depends on how Li Xinchen and Cui Hongdu fight wits and courage, but Xiao Shilian does not believe that Cui Hongdu can rely on hundreds of soldiers and horses to turn over any storms.

"Ahh One of the guards screamed and fell to the ground with an arrow.

The rest of the guards gathered more densely, guarding Wei Shoutuan in the middle.

Wei Shou took a deep breath, he could already see the surrounding situation clearly, Pei Zilie surrounded the inner and outer three layers, obviously not planning to give Wei Shou any chance to break through, and now Pei Zilie did not plan to only besiege but not attack, but still pressed step by step.

Although this depression is not as dangerous as in the mountains and forests, it is not easy to remove, the enemy's crossbowmen are ambushed in the surrounding forests, and they can easily condescendingly shoot any target that shows flaws, and even some crossbowmen have begun to try to see if they can shoot Wei Shou from such a distance, and the personal guard just now is an obvious victim.

Looking around, Wei Shou felt a little panicked in his heart, and there was an indescribable sense of powerlessness. This may be the place where you are buried.

Surrounded by mountains and enemies that could not break through, and he was trapped in a depression, Wei Shou naturally thought of a classic battle example - the Battle of Changping.

At that time, Zhao Kuo was also besieged by Bai Qi in the valley of Changping, unable to advance or retreat, and finally could only surrender with an army of 400,000, which greatly damaged the vitality of Zhao State, and Zhao Kuo has also become a laughing stock for thousands of years.

Wei Shou has always been ashamed of "talking on paper", but he didn't expect that he would fall into the same situation as Zhao Kuo today.

Maybe I can't even compare to Zhao KuoΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Wei Shou sighed softly.

"General, look!" A sharp-eyed guard said anxiously, and Wei Shou was stunned for a moment, and looked in the direction of his finger, just on the opposite hillside, the fluttering "Pei" character flag was slowly lowered.

And before Wei Shou could guess what was happening, a flag with the word "Li" was raised closely.

The only person who can be qualified to replace Pei Zilie is Nan Chen's supreme commander in Bashu and the general Li Xinchen.

"General Lee!"

"General Leeβ€”"

As if to confirm Wei Shou's guess, on the surrounding mountains, I don't know how many Nanchen soldiers let out earth-shaking cheers, and this sound was like a wave, rolling all the branches and leaves, echoing between the valleys.

The mountains are roaring and the tsunami is nothing more than that.

In this way, the soldiers of Nanchen and the Ba people greeted their victorious commanders to show their respect for Li Xinchen.

Wei Shou knew what these three words meant, and he knew what kind of awe and obedience they carried.

"Make Emperor Gao meet General Li".

This seems to be a title with a surname, but it carries the heartfelt praise of the soldiers for a general.

Nan Chen really has never broken the fortunes of the country, and such a figure was born at this time.

Wei Shou thought so, and only despair remained in his heart. He knew that when Li Xinchen appeared, it already meant that Cui Hongdu's reinforcements were already more than lucky, and even Wei Shou was not sure if Li Xinchen had already taken half or even the entire Cangxi Valley.

Of course, what happened to Cangxi Valley had little to do with Wei Shou, after all, Wei Shou was now unable to protect himself.

"All departments are gathered and fight to the death!" Wei Shou's voice was a little hoarse.
