Chapter 802: Counting is Counting
The first person was Wei Chishun.
Several generals surrounded Wei Chishun and talked in a low voice, not knowing what he was talking about, a soldier wanted to take a few steps forward, but Zeng first stretched out his hand to stop him, shaking his head slightly.
At this time, the most careful thing is to startle the snake, if Wei Chishun notices that something is wrong, then it will be wasted.
Several generals obviously heard Wei Chishun's order, and left one after another, but Zeng Xian frowned, looking at the direction they left, it was not that the Stingers who came here hurriedly packed up the transfer materials, but went to the front of the camp that had been vacated in the front.
Torches were lit one by one, and the soldiers who followed Zeng Xian's side almost exclaimed in surprise.
They had come in from the back of the camp, and they hadn't noticed what the front of the camp looked like, and they could only see it black from where they were.
But when the light of the torches was completely illuminated, Zeng Xian and they were surprised to find that the camp tent had already been dismantled, and rows of soldiers lined up in the firelight!
"It's really a fraud." Zeng gasped first.
At this time, the rest of the soldiers were also in a trance, glad that they didn't rush forward just now, otherwise they would have been in the light at the time, and such an obvious movement would definitely be easily noticed.
With the sound of the general's order, a group of soldiers and horses drove out of the camp. And Zeng Xian directly turned around and helped several soldiers dismantle the camp tent together, just as if he hadn't seen anything just now.
————————--
"If Wei Chishun can be honest, it would be strange." Chen Zhishen stood at the head of the rocky beach, looking into the distance.
The camp of the Northern Zhou army was there.
Xiao Wang, who was ordered to come back to report the news, stood in front of Chen Zhishen, looking at the general's relaxed look, he also relaxed a lot.
"Well done, credit." Chen Zhishen patted the young scout on the shoulder, and immediately ordered in a deep voice, "Scout go out, we will line up here to protect the ferry!" ”
Although Chen Zhishen was brave, with 500 people in such an unclear situation, rashly attacking an enemy ten times his size was no different from committing suicide. What is combat courage and what is self-defeating, Chen Zhishen can still figure it out.
"General, I found about a thousand men and horses, coming this way along the upper reaches of Tanxi!" A scout sped over.
"General, half a mile to the west, I found enemy scouts, more than ten people!"
The expressions of several war lords and generals became solemn, so many people crossed Tanxi in a mighty way, and they did not expect to be silent, but it was obvious that the enemy was coming faster than expected.
"Light the torch!" Chen Zhishen waved his hand, "Send someone to inform General Wu Yi that his subordinates suggest speeding up the transfer of troops!" ”
At this point, there is nothing to hide.
After a pause, Chen Zhishen then said: "Nine times out of ten, the soldiers and horses that came from upstream came to trouble us, and it is estimated that Wei Chishun still doesn't like us small fish and shrimp." Order the crossbowmen to line up upstream and prepare to engage the enemy! ”
At this time, Pei Zilie, who was on the other side of Tanxi, also received the news, he was standing on a big rock on the bank of Tanxi, watching a team of soldiers move forward in an orderly manner.
The east bank of Tanxi is no better than the west bank where Pei Zilie is now, which is within the core defense circle of Xiangyang City, and it is not so easy for the Pingsuri scouts to cross Tanxi to explore the east bank, so Pei Zilie is not familiar with the east bank.
Therefore, when he learned that Wei Chishun was likely to have set a trap, Pei Zilie didn't know whether he would lead these soldiers to victory or destruction.
But now there is no room for Pei Zilie to think about it, Chen Zhishen has already led soldiers and horses on the other side, although this fierce general knows how to advance and retreat, but obviously does not want to come back at this time.
Li Xinchen insisted on arranging Chen Zhishen under his own men, perhaps because he took a fancy to Chen Zhishen's character of attacking forward like crazy until victory, because only in this way could Chen Zhishen quickly drag this army forward.
And what he needs to do is to fully respond and cooperate after Chen Zhishen makes a move.
Thinking of this, Pei Zilie was a little helpless.
Maybe it's because he's still too steady, otherwise how could Li Xinchen come up with such a solution.
Of course, Pei Zilie didn't know that in Li Xinchen's heart, he and Xiao Shilian were both cultivated according to handsome talents, while Chen Zhishen could only be regarded as a general at best. Pei Zilie, who was guided and promoted by Wu Mingche, is obviously much more clever than Xiao Shilian in terms of layout and planning, but it is a pity that Pei Zilie's personality is sometimes too stable and conservative, which makes him able to win in the end, but it takes too long.
Li Xinchen let Chen Zhishen be Pei Zilie's deputy, which is equivalent to sending someone to constantly drag Pei Zilie forward, so that Pei Zilie can focus more on how to see through the enemy's strategy and achieve victory, rather than how to stabilize the position first and advance slowly so as not to give the enemy a chance to take advantage of it.
Pei Zilie is capable, and Li Xinchen doesn't want him to use this ability in the wrong place.
As the first generation of monarchs, the most important thing is to expand the territory, so what Li Xinchen needs is generals who can fight, not generals who can only defend, people who sit in the rear, it is enough to have Luo Ya and Tang Zhengliang.
What Li Xinchen wants to do in the future, Pei Zilie is now very clear that on this road, there is no room for everyone to turn back.
Then we have to move on.
Pei Zilie raised his head and looked ahead, a team of soldiers were transferring to the other side of Tanxi, and the torches had already illuminated the simple ferry on the other side, and Chen Zhishen's shouts could be faintly heard, and the Bashu army was arrayed.
"Cross the river!" Pei Zilie Huo Ran moved.
In the dark battle situation in front of him, how much else he can't see through, this Pei Zilie doesn't know. But he knew that all he had to do was tear through the darkness!
The enemy's attack came very quickly and quickly, thousands of people strode forward in the sound of neat slogans, the swords and guns in their hands flashed in the firelight, obviously they also found that there were not many enemies here, so they simply drove these enemies down Tanxi in one go.
"Crossbowmen!" Chen Zhishen roared, "Five steps forward!" ”
All the crossbowmen moved forward at the same time, so that there was more room for the transfer soldiers behind, and as for getting a little closer to the enemy, it was not a bad thing for them. And Chen Zhishen waved his hand: "Release the arrow!" ”
Arrows hit the shield, and the Northern Zhou soldiers' steps of charging forward were not hindered by this, and they still took steps. Men kept falling from arrows, and those behind followed suit, reaping life with round after round of arrows, but apparently they knew very well that the enemy in front of them was not numerous, and if they didn't attack now, it was likely that they would die last.
