Chapter 250: Answer
Before Li Xinchen could answer, in the array under the city that had been lined up in the distance and there was no end in sight, a cavalryman came out of the crowd and shouted loudly at the top of his voice: "My general invited the commander of the defenders in the city to meet and answer!" ”
"What did he say?" Xiao Shilian was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't even believe his ears.
And the cavalry immediately shouted again: "Please meet the commander of the garrison of the city and answer!" ”
When Chen Zhishen and other generals changed their faces slightly, they immediately looked at Xiao Shilian and Li Xinchen, Chen Zhishen couldn't help frowning and said, "What is this barbarian playing?" Why do you want to talk to us about it? ”
"Obviously, in order to be able to rush to Jiangling City as soon as possible when Wei Chi Yuan went south, he didn't carry too many siege equipment, and he may not even have common siege equipment such as trebuchets and bed crossbows, not to mention rushing cars, nest cars, etc.," Li Xinchen said in a deep voice, "If they only rely on simple ladders to attack, then it will not be so easy to conquer this Zhangshan County in a short time."
"Shizhong, do you mean that these guys are trying to persuade them to surrender when they put on such a big formation?" Xiao Shilian's eyes widened, as if he was listening to a joke.
Li Xinchen's gaze kept falling on the rows of people under the city, and said in a deep voice: "For Wei Chi Yuan, this is not a solution, even if the hope is small, he must give it a try now." ”
After a pause, Li Xinchen shrugged his shoulders: "After all, he is not familiar with his opponent, what if he succeeds?" ”
Wei Chi Hui is a veteran of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who has been famous for a long time, and began to fight on the battlefield as early as the Western Wei Dynasty, whether it is Sichuan Shu or Lianghuai, or even this Jingxiang, he has left his figure. It can be said that this is an opponent that most of the generals of the Southern Dynasty are familiar with, even if they have not fought him head-on, they are familiar with his resume and know his usual tactics well.
On the contrary, Li Xinchen and Xiao Shilian really came to prominence, in fact, it was the overwhelming battle that forcibly crossed the Yangtze River a few days ago, and then the capture of Xiao Yue and others began to spread their names among the government and the opposition.
Therefore, Li Xinchen and the others knew Wei Chi Yuan, but Wei Chi Yuan did not understand these two opponents who had become the biggest obstacle to his advance into Jiangling.
"Wei Chi Hui liked to take risks when he was young, and when he attacked Sichuan and Shu back then, he broke through in many ways and drove straight in, not giving Xiao Ji, who was guarding Sichuan and Shu, a little time to react, and it still makes people feel chills down his spine when he thinks about it. After getting older, the style of using troops is more stable, and when attacking Luoyang in Northern Qi, he presses in with heavy troops, so that the enemy has no other way but to fight head-on and fight head-on" Xiao Shilian clapped his hands lightly, "Suddenly attacking, suddenly negotiating, people can't figure it clearly, this opponent is really difficult to deal with." ”
Li Xinchen nodded: "The soldiers are coming, and the water is coming to cover the earth, so we might as well ask what he wants to do." ”
After a pause, Li Xinchen sneered: "What's more, Wei Chi Yuan wants to pass through Zhangshan County quickly, and we need to delay as much as possible, and now this negotiation is also a good way, at least there is no need for the brothers to delay with flesh and blood!" ”
All the generals looked awe-inspired, and they all bowed their heads.
Now, no matter what method is used, what they need most is time!
The firelight illuminated half of the sky, and the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty of the brigade lined up under the city, and the shields in front were neatly arranged, and on the shiny shields, there was a firelight dancing faintly.
"Let's go!" As a Northern Zhou soldier shouted loudly, several shields in front of him separated at the same time, followed by a group of cavalry walking out quickly, lining up along both sides of the shield, and at the same time, surrounded by another group of cavalry, several brightly armored Northern Zhou generals were brought out.
"Can you see clearly?" Xiao Shilian stretched out his hand to grab the head of the city and tried his best to look down. If the Northern Zhou people shot random arrows at this time, it is estimated that this kid will have to lose half his life if he doesn't die.
"The one in the middle with bright armor and fluttering white hair, needless to say, is Wei Chi Yu." Li Xinchen said in a low voice, "You see, the rest of the generals around him are half a step behind, and everyone is staring at him intently, obviously to protect him." ”
Xiao Shilian nodded, and before he could continue to speak, the white-haired veteran actually slapped his horse forward directly, and the Northern Zhou generals behind obviously wanted to stop but did not stop, so they had no choice but to follow.
With an order from the Northern Zhou Formation, all the crossbowmen drew their bows and arrows, and it is conceivable that as long as there was any change in the city, they would not hesitate to cast arrows.
"Can you see General Chen in the city?!" The white-haired veteran shouted loudly, his voice very loud in the silent night breeze.
Xiao Shilian suddenly couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This Wei Chi Yuan is really good!" ”
It stands to reason that for a veteran, even if he is fighting on the battlefield when he is old, most of them are strategizing in the rear, or sitting in the Chinese army, and the young man leads the army to assault in front, which is the case with the previous Nanchen army, and I have never heard that Wu Mingche will personally lead the army to charge.
And now Wei Chi Yu took the lead in rushing to the city with such a big grin, not caring at all that there would be arrows shooting down on the city.
You must know that if Li Xinchen or Xiao Shilian wants to now, they can shoot the Northern Zhou general and Xiangyang general into a hedgehog at any time, and at that time, the Jiangling battle situation will be completely eroded.
Not to mention Li Xinchen, I'm afraid even Xiao Shilian doesn't have such courage.
But at this time, Li Xinchen and Xiao Shilian also knew that it was impossible for them to order archery. First, in this morally supremacy society, even if you bully the weak, you have to find a suitable reason to occupy the moral high ground, not to mention that Wei Chi Hui on the other side is here to negotiate no matter what he says at this time.
Second, Li Xinchen and Xiao Shilian also know what Wei Chi Hui means to this tireless Northern Zhou army that has been driving all the way, once something bad happens to Wei Chi Hui, I am afraid that even if this army is wiped out under the city, Li Xinchen and them will have to be crushed into powder first.
Whether it is Li Xinchen or Xiao Shilian, they can't afford this moral infamy and strategic risk, after all, no matter how crazy they are, it is impossible to defeat a group of crazy people who are ten times more numerous than themselves.
"Since we are here, no matter whether the person who comes is good or not, we have no reason to refuse." Xiao Shilian frowned and said.
And Li Xinchen shouted directly: "Dare to ask General Wei Chi in person?!" ”
The old general stretched out his hand to take off his helmet, and his voice was loud: "Exactly! ”
"Da Chen's junior Li Xinchen, I have seen the old general!" Li Xinchen immediately replied without hesitation, this Zhangshan County City is not high, and the moat is naturally much narrower than the moat in Jiangling and other places, so there is no need for others to help shout, Li Xinchen's own voice can be transmitted to Wei Chichen.
Hearing Li Xinchen's words, he seemed to have a lot of respect for Wei Chi Yuan, and Xiao Shilian, Chen Zhishen and others around him couldn't help but raise their eyebrows.
