"I didn't expect this Song Ping to still have a little courage." Li Xinchen looked at the figure standing at the head of the city, although it was a little vague, but judging from the other party's position under the guards of the soldiers and the banner of the word "Song" fluttering on the city tower, he could know that it should be Song Ping, the assassin of Hezhou.

Xu Deyan is obviously not as calm as Li Xinchen, in the final analysis, he is just a young man, and this is the first time he has really been on the battlefield and seen such a spectacular scene. Xu Deyan didn't even dare to imagine, empathy, if he was standing on the head of the city at this time, would he really have so much courage to face such an enemy.

Whether in terms of momentum or prestige, it is obvious that Li Xinchen has an absolute advantage.

This is also why Xu Deyan presented Li Xinchen with a strategy of "attacking the heart". There is a saying in the art of war, attacking the heart is the top, and attacking the city is the bottom.

For Li Xinchen, Hezhou is a good choice. The city of Hezhou City is not as tall and strong as imagined, and what really deserves Li Xinchen's headache is actually the mountain cities around Hezhou, such as the famous Diaoyu City in later generations - of course, in this time and space, Diaoyu City is far from the scale of the future, but the city that guards the dangerous place, even if it is just a thin wall, is enough to make the attacker suffer casualties.

Therefore, Li Xinchen put on a dignified formation and took Hezhou in an open and honest way of siege, which could not only occupy Hezhou, but also break the impression that Li Xinchen only knew how to advance lightly.

And of course, his real intentions are not in Hezhou, killing chickens with cattle knives, this is to kill the defenders in those mountain cities.

"Shizhong, it's almost," Pei Zilie strode over, "When are we going to start attacking the city?" ”

Li Xinchen squinted slightly, looked up at the sun, now the sun is getting higher and higher, the sun in winter is not scorching, but it shines directly on the head of Hezhou City, which is still a big threat to the soldiers defending the city.

And for the soldiers of Nanchen who are besieging the city, it is a good advantage.

"Let's start now." Li Xinchen strode onto the already set up platform, "Drumming!" ”

The sound of drums rose to the ground, and a Nan Chen general who commanded and arranged in front of the battle came on a flying horse. In addition to Lu Zhiwu, who was guarding Ba County, Cao Zhong, Dai Cai, Cheng Feng and other generals all rushed to the point of command.

"The last general will see General Dangkou!" A group of generals surrendered at the same time.

And Pei Zilie just stood behind Li Xinchen, looking at all this in front of him with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he was not dissatisfied and regretful for being ignored instead. He, like Xiao Shilian, is not an extremely important person who regards these false names, and more importantly, it is obvious that Pei Zilie also knows in his heart that it is not himself who can really convince these arrogant generals.

Only Li Xinchen in front of him can bear their trust, and can lead this army to fight in this troubled world, for their own future, not for any illusory righteousness, for the court and the emperor who don't care about them at all.

From struggling alone to struggling with thousands of people, Pei Zilie watched how Li Xinchen struggled out of this troubled world.

This young man's forbearance and persistence were all seen by him, and he asked himself if he had this ability.

"Cao Zhong listens to orders!" Li Xinchen didn't care about Pei Zilie's gaze behind him, he couldn't figure out the thoughts and tempers of others, but he still had a good grasp of Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie's thoughts, and he knew that Pei Zilie would not stand up and compete with him at this time.

Cao Zhong struck a spirit, and an excited look appeared on his face.

As one of the first generals to follow Li Xinchen, Cao Zhong was also the last of Zhangshan's hundred battles, and he also followed Li Xinchen's Huarong Dao, White Emperor City and other places to fight without any battles. It's just that when he attacked Bajun later, Cao Zhong led the army to suppress the aftermath, but he didn't get much opportunity to make contributions, which made a gap between Chen Zhishen and Cao Zhong, who were originally side by side.

For this reason, Cao Zhong has been fighting for the opportunity to take charge of his own affairs and make meritorious contributions - you must know that Chen Zhishen's exploits in the Battle of Bajun mainly came from his attack on Lao Yashan Mountain. It's just a pity that Li Xinchen is going to make a big move in Hezhou and Luzhou this time, so except for Pei Zilie, he himself rushed to the battlefield.

Cao Zhong was even more disheartened about this, thinking that he had no chance to make a contribution, and could only drink soup after him, but Li Xinchen wanted to give him a chance.

"Order you to lead the way first!" Li Xinchen simply threw the order to Cao Zhong.

"No!" Cao Zhong didn't think about it, he reached out excitedly to take it and shouted loudly.

The rules in Li Xinchen's army are different from others, the first to ascend is not cannon fodder but the elite and henchmen, Li Xinchen does not have enough time and troops now, so instead of using cannon fodder to slowly grind time, it is better to directly organize the elite, with the opportunity of high morale, and fight down.

Of course, Li Xinchen didn't know that such a method was being staged on another battlefield in Luzhou. Now he handed over the first general order, which was also the first general order, to Cao Zhong, which is enough to show that Cao Zhong's position in Li Xinchen's heart is still stable.

Seeing that Cao Zhong was about to leave in stride, Li Xinchen beckoned: "What are you panicking about?" ”

Cao Zhong suddenly turned his head in surprise, while Dai Cai and the others burst into laughter. Li Xinchen pointed to the city in the distance and said: "Do you see the city, you will only be given two chances, you can mention whatever you want, but after two sieges of the city, this city is still in the hands of the enemy, don't blame Lao Tzu for being unkind to you!" ”

Cao Zhong was stunned for a moment, Li Xinchen wanted to use the attack on Hezhou as an opportunity to kill the chicken and show the monkey the strategic idea that he could figure out, and it was obvious that Li Xinchen was now letting him act as the sharpest knife!

The blood rushed to his head all of a sudden, and Cao Zhong solemnly arched his hand: "The last general will strive to take down this Hezhou City for the first time, and let the general's flag flutter on Hezhou City!" ”

Li Xinchen solemnly bowed: "Go ahead." ”

Watching Cao Zhong stride away, the rest of the generals couldn't hold it back. Especially Dai Cai and Cheng Feng, their identities are generals, and they do not have such a solid backing as the Xiajiang Tang clan than Tang Zhengliang, Tang Yishun and others, so if they want to go further in Li Xinchen's system, the easiest way is naturally to make contributions.

And this time, Li Xinchen asked Lu Zhiwu to stay in Ba County, and brought the two of them out, which naturally meant this. Dai Cai and Cheng Feng are not fools, of course they know that they should seize the opportunity.

"Dai Cai!" Li Xinchen then turned his gaze to Dai Cai, "You led the army around the east of the city to prepare for a feint, and sent a sentry to the north, ready to cut off the enemy's way to break through at any time." ”

Dai Cai didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly surrendered his hand: "No! ”

And Li Xinchen bowed slightly, if Cao Zhong is the blade, then now Dai Cai is the back of this knife, with his stability enough to ensure the stability of the front.
