A moment later, there was the sound of weapons falling, and a Northern Zhou soldier dropped his blade and fell to his knees on the snow, and soon there was no one to resist in the entire camp.

Cao Zhong leaned against the wall of the baggage camp, looking at the headless corpse not far away, panting lowly. I finally managed to take this guy down before he retreated into the baggage camp. And the rest of the matter is nothing more than the concentration of prisoners, etc., without Cao Zhong's orders, his subordinates will also take care of it.

"General, according to the prisoner's confession," a warlord walked quickly, "the enemy has already sent two groups of heralds to inform the Tiangong Courtyard ······ before"

Cao Zhong's eyes widened suddenly, although this was also expected by him, but when he confirmed it, he could only sigh and snort at the corpse on the ground.

This guy can really get himself into trouble, and he wouldn't have let him die so happily if he knew it.

"Is there any news from General Dangkou?" Cao Zhong asked slowly.

"Not yet, but I guess it's time to go, so let's ······" The Lord asked tentatively.

Cao Zhong waved his hand: "Let the brothers clean up the battlefield and rest well, I'm afraid I won't be able to fight if we continue to fight." Go get a pen and paper, and report the situation to General Dangkou. ”

"No!"

——————————————

Standing on the top of the Tiangong Courtyard, the temperature in the heart of Guo Liang, the general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, was about the same as the temperature of the cold wind outside, and it was all cold and cold.

He had just received the news of the loss of the Xihe Ferry, but fortunately, Guo Liang had already prepared for it, so that he did not have any soldiers and horses that could be mobilized in his hands, but the speed of the loss of the Xihe Ferry was still beyond his expectations.

No matter how they defended at the Xihe Ferry, they were all an elite team under his command, and the two battle masters in the town were his right-hand men, and now they didn't even hold on for half a day, which was the reason why Guo Liang's heart was cold.

The enemy came too quickly, and the Xihe defense line, which had been carefully arranged and operated, was so vulnerable, which made Guo Liang a little unconfident about the Tiangongyuan Mountain under his feet. Will you be able to hold off the enemy's attack?

Of course, the loss of the Xihe ferry is still within Guo Liang's understanding, and now the news sent by the scouts is really telling Guo Liang that the enemy should not be coming from one direction, it seems that he is an enemy on all sides!

Standing on the top of the mountain, the terrain around Tiangongyuan fell into view. At this time, there was Cao Zhong in the south of Tiangong Courtyard, Xiao Shilian in the west, and even in the upper reaches of the West River, there were traces of the people, and several generals under Li Xinchen and the only Ba people with the help of the power have already appeared.

But among so many people, which side is the real main direction of attack?

After all, Guo Liang didn't have many soldiers and horses in his hands, and in order to ensure that Langzhong City could not be lost before Wei Chi Yu arrived, he had to hold on here for at least three days. These three days ago were not so difficult in Guo Liang's eyes, but now it is different, the speed of the enemy and the fierceness of the attack are beyond Guo Liang's imagination.

These three days······ Is it so easy to hold onto?

"Report, general, I found traces of the people in the east corner of the river, and there was even a team of people scouts who crossed the West River!" At this moment, a sentry came in a hurry and interrupted Guo Liang's contemplation.

"Hedong turn?" Guo Liang couldn't help but take a breath of cool air.

Before, the people were only operating on the east side of Tiangong Courtyard, but now it seems that these scout activities of them are not just trying to harass, but really want to cross the river from there to attack Tiangong Yuan.

There are not many roads up the mountain, mainly from the West River crossing, but it does not mean that there are no other paths in the mountains, and there are even many mountain roads that spiral directly under the camp, if the enemy comes from there, it will indeed catch the defenders off guard.

"Quick, send two hundred men to support the camp on the west side." Guo Liang made a quick decision.

Regardless of whether Xiao Shilian, who is located on the east side, will come to attack, at least he must first ensure the safety of the road up the mountain on the west side.

The east of the river is called Hedong, but it is actually on the west side of Tiangong Courtyard, relying on the West River to go deep into the shallows in the mountains, and there is still a distance from the main peak of Tiangong Courtyard and several dangerous places.

Now it seems that these people have completely served Li Xinchen. According to the scout's report, Li Xinchen did not show up in the entire battle for the West River crossing, and it was Cao Zhong under Li Xinchen who was in command.

Then Li Xin should not be at the crossing of the West River, but should command the people on the side of the east of the river, that is to say, the east turn of the river is Li Xinchen's main direction of attack!

Thinking of this, Guo Liang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this Li Xinchen is known as being good at strange soldiers, and the place he chose is really tricky, if it weren't for Guo Liang's stay in this Tiangong Courtyard for a long time, he would have felt clearly inside and outside the mountainous area of this Tiangong Courtyard, and sent a large number of scouts to explore all the way along the foot of the mountain, I am afraid that he would not have found Li Xinchen's small actions at all!

"It's time to compete with the people again." Guo Liang muttered, "The last time I was able to beat you to the ground, this time it will be the same······"

As if he had made up his mind, he shouted loudly: "Come, everyone except the defenders is ready to go!" ”

This time he was condescending and occupied the right time and place, so he didn't believe that he really couldn't help these people whose whereabouts had been exposed.

——————————————————

In the cold wind, Li Xinchen slowly folded the battle report in his hand.

Although Cao Zhong paid a lot of price, he did not let himself down. Now that the crossing of the West River has been taken, the enemy will be faced with the problem that there is no way to figure out the direction of his real attack. Even now, Li Xinchen didn't need to let Xiao Shilian divide his troops and threaten the flanks of Tiangong Courtyard from the east.

Xiao Shilian's 1,000 soldiers and horses could completely free up their hands to directly attack Langzhong City.

"General, there is a pine forest in front of you." A scout hurried over.

Li Xinchen bowed slightly, through the wind and snow, he could already see the pine forest, and just behind the pine forest, it was the western foot of Tiangongyuan Mountain. This pine forest corner is located between the West River Crossing and the East River Turn, Li Xinchen gave the defenders of Tiangong Courtyard two choices, one is to stick to the main peak with all their might, and the other is to go to the east of the river to block the people, but no matter what you do, it is equivalent to exposing its flank or rear to Li Xinchen's hands.

Whether it is Cao Zhong or others, it is not Li Xinchen's real killer move.

"Cross the river!" Li Xinchen ordered in a low voice and walked towards the river bank first. And in the wind and snow, a famous soldier did not hesitate to follow Li Xinchen's figure and walked onto the frozen Xihe River. The biting wind was unobstructed, and every figure was unusually determined.

Because they all know that in this wind and snow, they have no possibility of retreating, they can only move forward.
