Chapter 264: Withdrawal of Troops
"It's still that cavalry!" The surrounding generals sighed with emotion in their hearts and looked at each other silently.
And Wei Chi squinted at the city, sending this team of cavalry may be the most correct choice made by the young general named Li Xinchen in this battle. And facts have proved that they have indeed lived up to Li Xinchen's trust in them.
"By the way, generals, my subordinates also saw that many of these enemies had torn armor, it seems that they had just experienced a big battle, but although they were tired, their morale was high, it should be" The scout remembered a little more and said hurriedly, but immediately realized something, and his voice couldn't help but gradually lower.
These islands fought a victory, then it was only possible to fight with the Northern Zhou people, so it naturally means that the Northern Zhou Dynasty failed.
Looking at the scout who was speechless, Wei Chishun waved his hand and asked him to retreat first.
Besides, anything else is actually useless, when this group of reinforcements appears, there is not much difference between the five thousand Northern Zhou light soldiers sent out and whether they exist or not. Without blocking the enemy's reinforcements, in fact their mission was already a failure.
One after another, his eyes fell on Wei Chishun's body, all with the intention of inquiry. The old general's face looked obviously a little gloomy, and everyone naturally didn't dare to speak rashly.
"Daddy, we're now," Wei Chishun said in a low voice, at this time, I'm afraid he was the only one who dared to ask Wei Chi Yuan's opinion.
Wei Chi snorted: "There are more than 4,000 people, that is, a total of five or six thousand people, we still have an absolute advantage in numbers, are you afraid?" ”
The surrounding generals glanced at each other, and most of them had helpless expressions on their faces.
Although Wei Chi Yu said this truth, but the people in the city in front of him obviously can't live with ordinary people, they have held on for so long with more than 2,000 people, if there are more than 4,000 people, does that mean that they can hold on for a longer time?
Now with the destruction of that ambush army, time has become a fatal point for the Northern Zhou, no one knows how long Jiangling City can hold out now, after all, the danger they are facing is almost the same as the current Zhangshan County defenders, or even more so.
These Nanchen maniacs can grit their teeth and resist the frenzy, but can those Xiliang people? Don't say that it's Wei Chishun, I'm afraid that even Wei Chi will inevitably feel worried in his heart.
However, Wei Chi Yu knew that if he returned to Xiangyang in a gloomy manner, it would not only be an irreparable blow to his prestige and morale in the army, but if he conquered this Zhangshan County, even if he really lost Jiangling City, at least he would have to explain to the soldiers and the imperial court.
However, before Lieutenant Chi could urge the generals to attack, a meteor horse hurriedly rushed into the camp, passed through the empty camp, and galloped directly to the position where the Chinese army was.
This meteor fast horse came from the north, so no one noticed it for a while, and it was not until the sentry spout rushed to the point of view that the surrounding generals looked at it in surprise. The sentry didn't hesitate too much, and gave it up:
"General Qiyu, a team of soldiers and horses from Daoyi has broken through the water, and is now preparing to force the crossing of the water on the shore of the water and attack Wuning County, Wuning County is in an emergency!"
Wuning County is in a hurry!
These words fell into their ears, and all the generals were dumbfounded. Wuning County is the only way to return to Xiangyang from here, its barrier effect on Xiangyang is similar to Zhangshan County's screen for Jiangling behind, if Wuning County is lost, not only the door of Xiangyang is wide open, but also the soldiers and horses going south will be in the front and rear of the enemy.
"Who is in charge? How many centaurs? Wei Chishun grabbed the collar of the sentry, "Quick, make it clear!" ”
The sentinel hurriedly said: "The banner is the general of the expedition to the west of Daoyi, Chun Yuliang, the number of people is ten thousand, our defenders in Suizhou and the water area are only two or three thousand, and they can't be stopped at all, especially now that Suizhou has fallen, the rest of the state capitals don't dare to easily send troops to stop it."
Wei Chishun's face changed, and he let go of his hand weakly.
Whether it is Chun Yuliang's reputation or the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, it is a mortal threat to Wuning County and the back road of Wei Chi Yuan's army, which is enough for Wei Chi Yuan to withdraw his troops now.
And before the sentinel left, another sentry rushed up quickly, and no one even noticed when he came to Dianjiangtai: "General Qiyu, the city of Chuyang has fallen, the defenders have surrendered, and now Ren Zhongzheng, the general of the north of the island, is leading his troops and horses to the north, and the soldiers are pointing directly at Zhangshan County!" ”
Reinforcements, reinforcements all the way!
The expressions of all the generals were already cloudy, and Wei Chi slowly clenched his fists.
He knew very well that there was no need to persist in this battle. If he can't take Zhangshan County in the short term, and Wuning County, which is only defended by one or two thousand local garrisons, falls into the hands of the enemy, then I am afraid that no matter how strong the city of Xiangyang is, it will be difficult to preserve it without a defender.
If Jiangling is lost, then it is Lu Teng and Xiao Yue's main responsibility, and if Xiangyang is lost, then Wei Chi Hui can only personally ask Yuwen Yong for his guilt.
What's more, Yu Chi Hui also knows what Yu Wen Yong means by letting himself replace Yang Jian, for Yang Jian's in-laws, Yu Wen Yong doesn't trust him very much, letting Yu Chi Yuan, a steady veteran, come, also has the effect of dividing Yang Jian, if Yu Chi Yuan comes up and messes up, I'm afraid that after Yu Wen Yong, no one will be able to curb Yang Jian!
His own prestige and the morale of the army are nothing compared to Yu Wenyong's trust and the future of Da Zhou. At this moment, Wei Chi Yu has already made a choice:
"Ah Shun, order all departments, suspend the attack, spread scouts to the north, be sure to find out where Chun Yuliang's army has been, and quickly inform Wuning County to all the cities along the line from Xiangyang to be strictly defended!"
"No!" Wei Chishun hit a spirit, at this time he already understood his father's choice, but he still said with some entanglement, "But Daddy, let's go to Jiangling City."
In the whistling wind, the sound of killing has gradually subsided, and Wei Chi Yu's face has a trace of bitterness: "Ren Zhong and Chun Yuliang didn't go to support Jiangling, but they both threw off their steps and came here, do you know what it means?" ”
Wei Chishun's face changed slightly: "What does Daddy mean?"
Wei Chi Yu walked straight to the point general, no matter how he looked at his back, he was a little depressed: "This shows that Jiangling City is estimated to be more than lucky, if we are still attacking here, I am afraid that it is not only Ren Zhong and Chun Yuliang who will come, but the main force of Daoyi led by Xiao Maha." ”
Slowly looking up at the city wall in front of him, Wei Chi Hui showed a helpless look on his face,
I didn't expect the old man to fight on the battlefield for so many years, and finally stop in front of such a small Zhangshan County.
At this moment, Wei Chi felt that this Zhangshan County was as tall as Yin Mountain on the grassland, and he had no way to climb it in his life.
