When they really arrived at Wangbei Village, Li Xinchen and the others found out how small this village was. In total, it was a small camp that housed a hundred and ten people, standing on a hill by the river, which was not very high, and at best a resting place for scouts and prospectors.

I'm afraid that if it weren't for the importance of the location of this camp, it wouldn't even be marked on the map.

However, there is no danger on the surrounding river beach, and it is not suitable for large ships to moor, so there is no need for Nan Chen to operate this camp here. After all, in the final analysis, in the war against Xiliang, Nan Chen has always been in a state of attack, even if the two sides have been at peace all these years, in fact, Nan Chen is also sharpening his knives.

In the entire Dajiang defense line, only the capital Jiangling can be called a town, and Zhangchuan County further north and Chuyang downstream are both some distance away from Jiangling, and there is no way to block the roads on both sides of Jiangling.

The enemy can completely ignore these two cities and attack Gangneung directly.

Compared with Xiliang, Nanchen has many cities on the south bank of the Yangtze River, which are quite close to each other, which is enough to support a complete defense line.

Therefore, it is not of much practical significance to build a defensive line without danger on the river beach like Xiliang, as long as Nanchen can hold Yidu, Songzi and Gong'an and other important riverside towns, the entire Dajiang defense line will naturally be impregnable.

Because Fan Yi had already launched an attack across the river in the direction of Jingmen Mountain, there were only more than ten soldiers stationed in the entire Wangbei Village, which only played a role of sentry and vigilance, after all, at this time, the opposite Xiliang was too busy to take care of himself, where did he still care about the situation on the south bank of the river.

Standing on the arrow tower of Wangbeizhai, Li Xinchen looked far away, the river was mighty and mighty not far away, rushing to the east, and there was a thin layer of fog on the river surface, perhaps because it was a cloudy day today, so he could only see the hazy outline of the opposite bank.

"Crossing the river from here is Jiangling City, but the Xiliang people have also built a lot of fences on the river beach outside Jiangling City, and a large number of deer barricades are arranged in the river, if there is no person who is familiar with the situation on the other side to lead the way, it is not so easy for us to cross the river." Pei Zilie stood beside Li Xinchen and said with a slight frown.

At this time, he wished that he had a few more eyes, so that he could pierce this thin mist and see the situation on the other side clearly.

"Rashly crossing the river will inevitably lead to heavy losses, and we cannot afford to lose a single soldier now." Li Xinchen pondered and said, "Just now, I have asked the soldiers who stayed in the Wangbei Village, and they rarely take the risk of crossing the river in ordinary times, after all, it is far from easy to directly force the river from here to cross the river from other places, so their main task is to monitor the movements on the other side, not to cross the river to spy on the news on the other side." ”

"This is also expected," Pei Zilie said lightly, "But then again, since we have come to this place, is there any other workaround?" ”

Li Xinchen frowned, now there is the Jingzhou army led by Fan Yi in the upstream, and the main force of Nanchen led by Xiao Maha in the downstream, their partial division, which set off the earliest, has become the last Nanchen army that has not yet crossed the river, and now there is no other direction for them to choose except for the front of Jiangling.

"Good news!" At this moment, the sound of going up the stairs behind him sounded, and Xiao Shilian ran up quickly, "Jingzhou Thorn Shi Fan Yi led the army to cross the river from the Jingmen Mountain Ferry, and the soldiers pointed directly at Jiangling City!" ”

Li Xinchen and Pei Zilie looked at each other in surprise: "So fast? ”

Xiao Shilian ran over all the way, out of breath, but still nodded solemnly: "Don't believe you, this Fan Yi is really ruthless." ”

Just seeing that the military newspaper sent by their own scouts clearly said "heavy casualties", Li Xinchen and Pei Zilie already understood a thing or two. Fan Yi was able to break through the Dajiang defense line so quickly, definitely not because the Western Liang army did not resist, but because Fan Yi came too quickly and fought too hard.

This Fan Yi clearly wanted to sacrifice at all costs in exchange for precious time, so that he could kill Jiangling City before Xiao Maha did. After all, no matter who took Gangneung City first in the end, at least from the current point of view, it would be a great achievement to go to Gangneung City first.

"Fan Yi is in a hurry to eat meat." Li Xinchen smiled bitterly, Fan Yi was not incomprehensible from being motionless at the beginning to his current rapid progress, obviously he had already made up his mind that since there was no way to watch from the wall, it was better to eat meat, and now it seems that he really has the possibility of achieving this.

"Being beaten like this by Fan Yi, it is estimated that Lu Teng will also be anxious to scold his mother." Xiao Shilian wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and said with a smile.

After all, the army of Western Liang and Northern Zhou on the front line was limited, and it had been mobilized to the west because of Fan Yi's attack, and later had to be transferred downstream because of the appearance of the main force of Southern Chen.

Otherwise, if Fan Yi wants to successfully cross the river, it will not be so easy. You must know that when Xiao Maha crossed the river, he also used all the strategies such as sounding the east and attacking the west, so that he could seize the few flaws of the Western Liang army and succeed in one fell swoop.

"But Fan Yi's fight gave us a chance." Li Xinchen's hand lightly tapped on the railing, and he stared closely at the river in front of him, "You said that on the other side of our bank, how many troops can be left in Xiliang?" ”

Pei Zilie and Xiao Shilian subconsciously glanced at each other.

The number of troops in the entire Western Liang was not large, in fact, it was only able to meet its needs to defend Jiangling City, Chuyang City and a few camps on the north bank of the Great River, and most of the time it had to rely on the support of the Northern Zhou army.

But now the possibility of reinforcements from the Northern Zhou Dynasty coming is very small, and Xiliang's own army has also been mobilized to the west side of Jiangling City to deal with Fan Yi, or Fu Xiao Maha in the east, plus Jiangling and Chuyang to defend the city, how much can be left to guard the Dajiang defense line in the front?

Xiao Shilian's eyes lit up: "In other words, these camps on the other side of our bank are likely to be just some useless shows?" ”

Among the three people, Xiao Shilian is definitely the most courageous, so Li Xinchen just mentioned it, and he already understood what Li Xinchen meant, and even began to be eager to try.

And Pei Zilie next to him rubbed his chin lightly, and after a long time, he said with some concern: "Shizhong, although it is reasonable to say this, the implication is just your guess after all, if it backfires, then our three thousand people are very likely to face the Xiliang army that is several times our own."

Compared with Xiao Shilian, Pei Zilie is obviously more cautious, after all, from another point of view, these 3,000 people are more under his command.
