Chapter 354: Success
Chen Zhishen rushed in with a large army, and the battle situation in White Emperor City was decided. Li Xinchen didn't take care of the city anymore, after all, so many Southern Chen troops rushed in, and these Northern Zhou soldiers were afraid that they would finally be unable to support it, so he turned to look at Dai Cai who was lying on the city wall next to him:
"Wake this guy up!"
Dai Cai opened his eyes in a daze, just in time to see the young man who attacked him, and the young man had a smile on his face, revealing half of his white teeth, but in Dai Cai's eyes, this smile had no good intentions.
"You······ Who are you? Dai Cai listened to the sound of killing not far away, and his face turned slightly pale. Of course, he knew what was going on, but he didn't expect that he had been the lieutenant of Yong'an for more than ten years, and the first battle was a complete fiasco.
Li Xinchen still had a smile on his face: "General Li Xinchen." ”
"Shhh Dai Cai couldn't help but gasp, although he was in Sichuan and Shu, he was very familiar with the name of this young man who was now very loud in the world. Nan Chen was able to sweep Jingzhou, it is said that this young man planned it behind the scenes, and more importantly, the battle of Zhangshan, this young man not only made Wei Chi Yu deflated, but also took this opportunity to fight to pay respects to the general, which can be said to make the very weak envious and jealous.
And I didn't expect that now this young man with countless halos and legends appeared in front of him, and it was impossible to say that Dai Cai was not a little afraid. But after all, he was also in his forties, and his mentality quickly stabilized, and he said with a sneer: "The general of the defeated army, it is also an honor to be able to meet the famous General Li, I just ask General Li to give me a good time." ”
Li Xinchen chuckled: "I haven't won yet." ”
Dai Cai was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously looked under the battlements, Nan Chen's soldiers were still rushing left and right in his army, although the number was small, but no one could stop it.
What's more, the sound of killing on the steps on the other side was everywhere, and the Southern Chen army of the brigade poured into the city like a tide, and a strong man in the lead waved a big sword in his hand, and the wind was whirring, and for a time all the Northern Zhou defenders in front of him fled in a hurry.
Although this battle has not yet ended, everyone knows that Li Xinchen has won.
"Dai Duwei, what you need is not just this White Emperor City," Li Xinchen smiled slightly, "There are still people who need it." Only when both the people and the city are taken, this battle can be considered a victory. ”
Dai Cai looked at Li Xinchen in surprise, and Li Xinchen smiled sincerely.
This sentence came from Li Xinchen's sincerity, because what he needed now was indeed someone from the White Emperor City, or in other words, someone who was familiar with the situation in Sichuan and Shu. This raid on White Emperor City, and even the people who could speak the real Sichuan and Shu dialect couldn't be found, which had already made Li Xinchen clearly understand this problem.
What's more, this Dai Cai in front of him still seems to have some ability, at least now his soldiers and horses are still fighting under the city.
"It's impossible for so-and-so to surrender to you!" Dai Cai stiffened his neck and said coldly.
And Li Xinchen unhurriedly reached out and picked up the knife and shook it in front of Dai Cai, Dai Cai's heart tightened, but he still gritted his teeth. I have been the captain of Yong'an for more than ten years, and I was defeated like this in the first battle, and it is a relief to die.
However, Li Xinchen directly cut the rope on Dai Cai's hand with a knife, which frightened the guards around Li Xinchen to take a step forward.
And Dai Cai looked at Li Xinchen's movements in surprise, and subconsciously moved his wrist: "You······ Why is that? ”
Li Xinchen didn't look at him much at all, but looked at the city: "Captain Yong'an, who has been in town for more than ten years, is he tired of being crooked, do you want to go and see a broader world with a certain person?" ”
"Yes······ No, it's not ······" Dai Cai blurted out, after all, this matter has been bothering him for too many years, and after hearing Li Xinchen's inquiry, he almost subconsciously wanted to answer, but he immediately realized that his answer was in Li Xinchen's arms, and he hurriedly wanted to explain, but the first word had already been said, what was the use of explaining?
What's more, Li Xinchen's words directly stimulated his heart.
After more than ten years as the lieutenant of Yong'an, he has been forgotten by the imperial court, and if he can go to the next level, what regrets do he have in life?
More than ten years of conscientious work in this Yong'an City, he has done his duty for the Northern Zhou. Xianbei people bear him first, and he does not regret losing Xianbei people.
With a deep sigh, Dai Cai arched his hand at Li Xinchen: "Dai Cai, the last general of Yong'an, is willing to obey the orders of General Dangkou." ”
Li Xinchen bowed slightly, Luo Ya had collected a lot of information about Dai Cai, this was a man who was not interested in money and wine, he was steady and cautious, and he seemed to be an invulnerable opponent. But Li Xinchen is still keenly aware of his biggest problem.
If you don't rise or fall in one place for more than ten years, anyone will get bored, and this Dai Cai will definitely be inevitable. So Li Xinchen simply seized this point to test Dai Cai, but he didn't expect that Dai Cai was already quite dissatisfied with this in his heart, and Li Xinchen's words made the last line of defense in his heart be broken.
"Du Wei is polite, if you want to gain a foothold in Bashu in the future, you will have to rely on Du Wei a lot!" Li Xinchen smiled slightly.
And Dai Cai's heart rose with a burst of warmth, saying what he said to "rely on" him, which was clearly Li Xinchen promised him a bright future.
"Dare not die for the general!" Dai Cai said loudly.
Li Xinchen bowed his head and waved his hand at the guards beside him, who hurriedly rang the golden gong on the city gate.
The crisp sound of gongs echoed in the White Emperor City, and both the Southern Chen soldiers who were bravely advancing and the Northern Zhou army who were retreating subconsciously looked at the city gate and temporarily stopped their pace.
A Li Zijiang flag was raised at the city gate, and two figures stood on the city gate one after the other, one of them was Li Xinchen, who was familiar to the Southern Chen soldiers, and the other was Dai Cai, who was known to the defenders of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
"Brothers, a certain has already planned to surrender to General Chen Dangkou, and a certain has surrendered, so you have all surrendered!" Dai Cailang shouted.
And the defenders, who did not have much fighting spirit because of the absence of the main general, suddenly felt like they had been pardoned when they heard this, and they threw their blades on the ground one after another. Phi Jian Zhizhi led the army to rush and kill Chen Zhishen and Lu Zhiwu and others, and they also breathed a sigh of relief.
The streets and roads in this White Emperor City are circling and rugged, and if the defenders resist one after another, they may encounter a lot of trouble.
For the current Nanchen army, of course, the fewer people sacrificed, the better.
Seeing that the soldiers and horses under his command all put down their blades, and the Nan Chen soldiers who held their own seals also quickly went to the two military villages outside the city, a stone that Dai Cai mentioned in his throat finally fell, although these subordinates were unusable, but they were also brought out by his hard training for so many years, watching these people die in battle, how could he bear it?
Arching his hand at Li Xinchen, Dai Cai Zhengse said: "The White Emperor City belongs to the general." ”
Li Xinchen nodded, looking at the White Emperor City, which was gradually lit up by torches.
The city has finally fallen into its own hands.
And that's just the first step.
