Chapter 803: Take the initiative to retreat?
Chen Zhishen slowly raised the axe in his hand.
If you want to die, you can fulfill these guys.
"Bang!" The next moment, the shields collided with each other, and the soldiers on both sides had already slammed together, swords and guns were staggered, blood was splashed, and the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty pushed the battle line slowly forward.
"Block!" Chen Zhishen's voice was still very loud in the sound of fighting, and the mountain axe in his hand swung again and again, and the axe slashed heavily on the oncoming shield, and the shield was actually split in half.
The Northern Zhou soldier behind the shield was obviously also taken aback, his arm was full of blood, and he didn't know if it was his own or who's, but he didn't have to think about it, because the next moment Chen Zhishen had already slammed into him fiercely, directly knocking him into the gun forest of the Bashu soldiers. And Chen Zhishen didn't look at this enemy, who didn't know how many enemies had died, and walked quickly towards the deeper part of the crowd.
As Chen Zhishen made a breakthrough, the rest of the soldiers also shouted and followed him closely and rushed towards this gap, and even some crossbowmen who had already killed red eyes followed, directly pulling the trigger, and the arrow sank into the chest of the enemy who was close at hand.
The defensive line that was constantly retreating in the direction of Tanxi was finally stabilized at this moment, and the Northern Zhou generals who led the team obviously realized that something was wrong, and commanded his men to spread out to both sides, and the teams of soldiers and horses gradually divided into small teams and strangled together with Chen Zhishen's troops.
The Northern Zhou army originally had a numerical advantage, and once they were strangled separately, most of Chen Zhishen's soldiers had to face a one-on-two or even one-on-three situation, and many of them were killed because of the enemy's sneak attack.
"Retreat!" Chen Zhishen waved the axe in his hand and forced the two Northern Zhou generals who rushed forward to retreat, and shouted loudly.
If you don't retreat at this time, I'm afraid you will be eaten away little by little.
And not far behind them, the Bashu soldiers of the brigade were disembarking from the boat amid the shouts of the generals and wading ashore.
"Don't fight, quick!" The shouts from the rear kept coming, Pei Zilie drew his sword, didn't wait for the raft to land, jumped directly from the raft, and rushed ashore in three steps and two steps, "Solve these things in front of you first and then organize the team!" ”
The situation has reached such a level that the most important thing is to be able to repel the enemy.
The battle lords and generals on the shore responded in unison, and grabbed the available troops at hand to follow Pei Zilie forward, this group of soldiers who went ashore spread out from the left and right, and rushed directly into the crowd of melee, fortunately Chen Zhishen lit the torch just now, otherwise I am afraid that I can't see where the enemy is in the dark.
Because it is really a loss to disperse and fight with the enemy, the Bashu generals have already commanded their subordinates to shrink the defense line under the leadership of Chen Zhishen, and the Northern Zhou army is still trying to find a breakthrough, if it were not for Chen Zhishen with his personal guards to support and fight the fire, I am afraid that this thin defense line has already been torn apart.
With the arrival of reinforcements, Chen Zhishen certainly would not suffer from this nest of anger, and immediately reached out to push away the two shield players, wielding a big axe to take the lead. The soldiers behind quickly followed him, and the entire army was once again separated, and together with the reinforcements, they were strangled into the Northern Zhou army formation.
Obviously, the Northern Zhou army had understood that the enemy's reinforcements had arrived, and it was impossible to continue the attack, so a whistle came, and this group of men and horses retreated quickly, obviously not wanting to entangle with the Bashu army.
And this time Chen Zhishen did not rush to pursue, the last time he fell into a trap, he was more or less apprehensive, this time it was even more in the dark, who knows what will happen.
You must know that this place is already very close to Xiangyang City.
"General." Chen Zhishen saw Pei Zilie walking over quickly, and hurriedly gave up his hand.
"How many?"
"About a thousand, two or three hundred were killed in battle, and there should be seven or eight hundred."
Pei Zilie bowed slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "Put away the soldiers and horses, and we will go directly to Wei Chishun for trouble." At the same time, leave a thousand men and horses here, and be sure to guard the ferry. ”
Chen Zhishen hurriedly responded, and at this time, a scout came quickly: "General Qiyu, the headquarters of General Ren Zhong upstream also began to forcibly cross Tanxi, but was blocked by the enemy, and now the two sides are fighting fiercely along the east bank of Tanxi. ”
"Ren Zhong finally can't help it······" Pei Zilie muttered.
"They've been watching the fire from across the coast for so long, and it's time for them to play." Chen Zhishen was obviously a little angry at the indifference of Ren Zhong's department for such a long time.
And Pei Zilie smiled slightly: "We don't care about them, the Zhou people have about 2,000 people in the upstream camp, and they have also drawn out a thousand to block us, and the remaining 1,000 people can't stop Ren Zhong at all, it is estimated that Ren Zhong will soon find that the defense on the opposite side is very weak, and it should be very fast to break through the Danxi defense line." ”
"But we still have to solve Wei Chishun here, wouldn't Ren Zhong have to reach Xiangyang City before us after breaking through Tanxi?" Chen Zhishen was a little surprised.
Pei Zilie waved his hand: "Although Xiangyang City is strong, the first to arrive under Xiangyang City may not necessarily become the master of Xiangyang. What's more, Ren Zhong arrived at the foot of Xiangyang City, and there is a great possibility of going to join Xiao Maha, which we can't stop, we can stop Ren Zhong from crossing Tanxi, but how can we stop Xiao Maha's attack in the direction of Da Xian Mountain? ”
"You can't hold it anymore?" Chen Zhishen noticed another strange place at this time, "But there are also a lot of scouts we sent to Da Xian Mountain, why haven't we received any news so far?" ”
Pei Zilie frowned and said in a low voice: "Who said that if you can't hold it, it must be that the attacking side is about to make a breakthrough?" ”
"What does the general mean······ Cao Xiaoda is ready to abandon it? Chen Zhishen was suddenly shocked.
Da Xian Mountain is not tall, the reason why it is used as a line of defense, mainly because there is no danger to defend in the south of Xiangyang City except for this hill, once the defenders' food and grass equipment are almost consumed, there is naturally no need to continue to add fuel here.
Rather than waiting for the enemy to find out and trying to get out, it is better to take this opportunity to abandon the position directly, so that there is still room for the soldiers and horses to retreat.
For Xiangyang City, which is high and deep, grain, grass and equipment are not a big problem, after so many years of accumulation by Yang Jian and Wei Chi, the grain, grass and equipment in Xiangyang City are enough to support the defense of the city for three to five years.
What is really lacking is the strength of the troops in the final analysis, most of the defenders of Xiangyang City were transferred north by Wei Chi Yuan, so for Wei Chikuan and Cao Xiaoda, who defended the city, how to make proper use of these troops is the most important thing.
It is true that defending the city must defend the wilderness, but Xiangyang City is tall and sturdy, and simply defending the wilderness is obviously equivalent to leaving the city defense of Xiangyang behind, which is obviously inappropriate. The tug-of-war in the out-of-town strongholds did not apply if the defenders were too small.
