Chapter 455: Snow Falls
Li Xinchen stared at the map tightly and didn't say a word.
Li Xun said that Li Xinchen had not considered it, but it was not so easy to make Li Xinchen make up his mind. In the final analysis, it was because Li Xinchen had too few soldiers and horses in his hands, if he was given more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, he could lead the troops to push over without hesitation, and he would not consider whether he needed to go forward here.
As Li Xun said, although the southern part of Langzhong is also surrounded by mountains, compared with Micang Mountain and Daba Mountain in the northwest and northeast, this mountain road is nothing, otherwise Li Xinchen would not have arrived in Xichong in such a short period of time and completed half of the road from Suizhou to Langzhong.
And this means that even if Li Xinchen and Wei Chi Chen set off at the same time now, when Li Xinchen arrives in Langzhong, it is very likely that Wei Chi Chen will still be struggling to advance in the rice cang mountain. And the mountain road of Micang Mountain is steep, and if Wei Chi Hui wants to reach Langzhong, he will definitely advance lightly, so as long as Li Xinchen can take Panlong County before Wei Chi Hui arrives and block the mountain road of Micang Mountain, then there will be a turning point in this battle!
In most cases, the battle in the mountains of Bashu is not about the strength of troops, but about who can grasp the strategic points first. On the rugged mountain road, the throat level of the one-man is the one-man pass, and sometimes the top of the male division is million.
Obviously, Wei Chi Hui had anticipated Li Xinchen's strategic intentions, so he was strengthening the reconnaissance and defense of the Langzhong area, as long as the defenders of Langzhong could hold out until Wei Chi Hui led the army to arrive, then Li Xinchen had only a dead end except to return to Shishan County in a gray manner!
"Shizhong, do you want to fight?" Xiao Shilian asked with a slight frown.
Regardless of whether they fight or not, at least they can't camp and remain motionless in this small hill where there is no village in front of them and no shops behind.
Li Xinchen gritted his teeth: "Fight!" ”
has already come here, and he has no other choice, even if Langzhong is a big trap and a dead end, he has to crash into it.
Xiao Shilian and Cao Zhong bowed their heads slightly at the same time, while Du Qi and Li Xun also showed solemn expressions on their faces. The two patriarchs of the Ba people also knew very well how decisive Langzhong had on the entire Bashu war situation.
And if Li Xinchen can win this battle, then they will have a chance to turn over. The current Ba people do not pursue much, they just want to be able to leave the mountains, and they can no longer worry about food and clothing.
"I need to know where the enemy's scouts are focusing." Li Xinchen turned his head to look at Du Qi and Li Xun.
"That's no problem, people are the best at traveling between the mountains, and the general can leave this task to people!" Li Xun arched his hand and said angrily, "Now according to the news we received, many sentry spies have also been found north of Xichong, and obviously the defenders of Langzhong have also realized that this side of Shishan County is likely to be the main direction of attack, and their subordinates will continue to send people to investigate." ”
Li Xinchen bowed slightly, the area of Xichong and Nanchong is the weakest place in Lang, and it is reasonable for the enemy to focus on investigating here, but the mountains in this area are layered, and it is not so easy to find the trace of an army, especially in front of the army, there are people who are more familiar with the terrain of this generation to open the way.
"A certain will dispatch elite scouts in the army to explore the road with you and Pu people, and kill the enemy's scouts when they encounter them!" Li Xinchen said coldly, "In addition, I also need to know how many enemy defenders there are in the city, and the sooner this is, the better." ”
"Yes!" Du Qi and Li Xun were also unambiguous and agreed directly.
Scouts are good at this kind of task. And Li Xun's face also showed a subtle joy, what the Ba people were most worried about was being used as cannon fodder by Li Xinchen to be at the forefront, and now it seems that Li Xinchen is obviously not more important than their lives, but their understanding of this area.
As long as the sacrifice of the Ba people is worthwhile, it is enough, whether it is Du Qi or Li Xun, he has never naively thought that he could completely gain Li Xinchen's trust without paying anything.
"Boqing!" Li Xinchen looked directly at Xiao Shilian, "You take a thousand soldiers and horses, follow closely behind the scouts and move forward, come, look here, you must arrive at Dingshui Village in two days, there is a small river here, even if there is an enemy blocking it, you must force it to cross, occupy Zhoujiaping on the north bank, and then send scouts to go directly to Langzhong City!" ”
"No!" Xiao Shilian replied loudly.
"Cao Zhong!" Li Xinchen did not pause, as if these battle plans had been thought of in his heart before, "You lead an army of 1,000, give you four days, arrive at the Xihe wharf, be sure to seize this wharf, and a certain will lead the army to follow closely and take care of the rear, so you can move forward." ”
"No!" Cao Zhong also gave up his hand.
Li Xinchen bowed slightly: "Rest for another hour, and then set off!" ”
"No!" The four of them agreed loudly at the same time, and their cheeks were flushed.
They have already seen Li Xinchen's strategic deployment clearly, and the two armies of Cao Zhong and Xiao Shilian are like open claws, directly sandwiching Langzhong in the middle.
In such a situation where the enemy is strong and I am weak, Li Xinchen still has the courage to divide his troops and attack together, he is really a bold master!
Regardless of whether Li Xinchen was confident or bold, Li Xun showed excitement and excitement on his face.
Ban Man has always been the master who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and what they respect and are willing to follow is a bold hero, and obviously this Li Xinchen in front of him is very angry with them. Those guys who look ahead and backward are not qualified to impress Ban Man at all!
Seeing that except for Xiao Shilian, the rest of the people left quickly, Li Xinchen exhaled softly: "Boqing, isn't it a bit risky to do this?" ”
Xiao Shilian chuckled: "Shizhong, don't forget, as long as you can disrupt the enemy's deployment by surprise, then no matter how you arrange it, it is not a risk." ”
Li Xinchen was slightly stunned, and then laughed and said: "In this way, a certain authority is confused!" ”
Xiao Shilian shook his head unexpectedly: "It's just that you need to bear too much, of course, it is impossible to consider only one aspect." ”
After a moment of silence, Li Xinchen smiled to himself and strode out of the ancestral hall.
There was a hint of coolness on his face, and Li Xinchen subconsciously looked up.
Countless snowflakes shrouded the heavens and the earth, and the distant mountains became hazy in the snow.
Li Xinchen couldn't help but hold his breath and looked at the scene of snow in the mountains in front of him. This snow must have enveloped the entire north and south of Langzhong, and it must have been Wei Chi Yuan, who was struggling to climb on Micang Mountain, and the situation was not much better than his own.
Sure enough, sometimes God is the most unfair, but he is the fairest
"Shizhong," Xiao Shilian walked over slowly, a little curious, "Are you still worried?" ”
Li Xinchen stretched out his hand and watched the snowflakes fall on the palm of his hand, with a hint of coolness, he smiled slightly: "A certain confidence is full." ”
