Chapter 419: An Open Hand
Hearing what Xiao Maha said, Zhou Qu and Gu Yewang found out that the map hanging in front of Xiao Maha was the map near Bashu.
Li Shizhong is really bold and careful!
And Gu Yewang just glanced at it and found the problem, and exclaimed: "Li Shizhong is going to attack Luzhou and Hezhou at the same time, isn't his soldiers and horses bad?" Isn't this a dangerous move to divide troops to attack? ”
Xiao Maha waved his hand: "Hezhou and Luzhou are in the north and west, which just lock the road for Ba County to expand outward, Li Shizhong is a little greedy to do this, but it is also reasonable." After all, there are not many defenders in these two places, and even if it is a strong attack, it is possible to take it. ”
"So Yuan Yin is very optimistic about them?" Zhou Qu raised his eyebrows.
Xiao Maha was silent for a moment, and bowed slightly: "I believe in Shizhong and Boqing, but they have never disappointed them." ”
Zhou Qu and Gu Yewang stared at Yutu tightly, their expressions a little dazed.
On the map, the many cities on the line from Bajun to Baidi City are actually just a long line along the river, like an arm stretched out from Jingzhou, and Bajun is just a fist on the arm.
But once Luzhou, Hezhou and other places fell under Li Xinchen's control, then this fist became an open five fingers, deeply inserted into the hinterland of Shu County. The plain marked with Shu County in front of it seemed to have become the enemy's fragile heart, and it could be directly crushed at any time in the palm of this hand!
If you take Shu County······ Zhou Qu and Gu Yewang suddenly found that they didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Can Li Xinchen be able to control it at that time?
"Your Majesty is really a wrong step now, a wrong step······" Gu Yewang was silent for a long time before he couldn't help muttering.
And Zhou Qu and Xiao Maha's gazes both became fierce, and at the same time they converged on Gu Yewang's body. Gu Yewang didn't say a word, just looked at the two of them with the same straight look.
"Your Majesty couldn't have imagined that Li Shizhong's courage would be so big, as for how big his ambition is, it's not something we can speculate." Zhou Qu's voice became lower and lower, "What's more······ If Your Majesty is wrong, it doesn't mean that it is not a good thing for this Da Chen and this world······"
Chen Ji did not make a wrong decision before, especially when the Northern Zhou sent troops to the Northern Qi Dynasty, because of Chen Ji's hesitation, in the end Wu Mingche did not have enough time to defeat Huaibei, as a result, after the Northern Zhou swallowed the Northern Qi, he suddenly turned to the return army, and directly forced Wu Mingche to retreat, so that there was the Battle of Luliang, if it were not for the persistence of Li Xinchen and Xiao Maha and others, I am afraid that the Southern Chen army would have been wiped out long ago.
But such words are true, but they are not what a courtier should say.
"Zhou Gong!" Gu Yewang interrupted Zhou Qu with a sudden speech, "Be cautious, be cautious!" ”
Zhou Qu exhaled deeply and muttered, "There are some things that still have to be said." ”
Gu Yewang and Xiao Maha were stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the map.
Li Xinchen's power on the map is expanding, like a spark of fire, and it is becoming a prairie fire!
Xiao Maha didn't know where this fire would burn in the end, but he would keep his eyes open and watch to see if this flame would really be as Zhou Qu said, one day, the clouds that had been hanging over the land of Kyushu for three hundred years would be burned out!
——————————————————————-
What the overall situation in the world has been stirred into, and how the imperial court in the far away world sees itself, this is something that Li Xinchen needs to consider and even be proud of, but it is not something that Song Ping is qualified to imagine.
"Assassin Shi, let's break through, the brothers have suffered heavy casualties!" A general walked over quickly, a look of panic on his face.
Nan Chen's soldiers have rushed to the city wall, and the armies of both sides are killing on the city wall that is not open, but everyone can see that although the number of Nan Chen's troops on the top of the city is very small, they are far more competitive than the defenders, and these guys don't blink their eyes when they kill people, and they know at a glance that they are veterans who have experienced war.
Against such an opponent, it's strange that these recruits under Song Ping's command can even support them.
Song Ping was born as a civilian official, and he didn't know how to arrange troops at all, so he just gritted his teeth and died here. But these generals under his command saw the situation of the battle clearly.
Dianjiang County is not an easy place to defend, not to mention that Bashu has been at the end of the battle line since the division of the north and south, and the two sides have not invested too much troops and energy here, thus forming a long-term embarrassing sit-down battle.
In the past few years, Bashu was turbulent, the Ba people were in turmoil, although the Northern Zhou Dynasty suppressed it with an iron fist, but these cities were almost destroyed, and no one would have thought that Bashu would have another war over the years, so most of them have not been well repaired.
Therefore, in any respect, Dianjiang County is not a good place to defend.
Compared to the county town, the surrounding mountain towns such as Diaoyu Mountain and Diandeng Mountain are actually better defensive positions, especially now that the enemy is outnumbered. The kind of mountain city road is rugged and built against the mountain, Li Xinchen has no way to transport it to the city even if he has a thunderbolt, as long as Song Ping wants to hold on, Li Xinchen can only fill it with human life.
But Song Ping didn't do that, even if his subordinates didn't advise him once or twice. After all, for Song Ping personally, Dianjiang County is the main city of Hezhou, as the assassin of Hezhou, without firing an arrow or fighting, he lost Dianjiang County, so he Song Ping really has no way to explain to the imperial court.
But when the war really started, Song Fang realized that he was too naïve. Obviously, Li Xinchen didn't plan to give him a chance to escape, Li Xinchen just wanted to take Dianjiang County in a battle, so as to deter the entire Hezhou and even Shudi!
Now that Li Xinchen's hand has been opened, and the entire Dianjiang County is just food in the palm of his hand, when to clench and swallow it is no longer up to Song Ping to decide!
"Can this city still hold on?" Song Ping's face turned pale and he muttered.
The general struck a spirit, and after being silent for a long time, he said slowly: "Qi Qi Assassin Shi, the brothers have suffered heavy casualties, and three of the general's colleagues have been killed in battle, if the Assassin Shi does not leave, I am afraid ······ I'm afraid we're all going to die here! ”
There was already a cry in the general's voice, and Song Ping sighed deeply, sat down, and waved his hand: "You take people to retreat, go to Diaoyu City, Lighting Mountain, Tiger Village, anywhere, break through now!" ”
"What about Taishou?" The general was stunned for a moment.
Song Ping smiled bitterly: "Someone has to be martyred in this city, worthy of the people who died here." ”
The general was silent for a moment and nodded solemnly.
No matter how absurd and incomprehensible Song Ping's previous decision was, at least he was still worthy of respect at this time.
