Li Xinchen glanced at the young man slightly, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Xiuyuan, you let you go to the battlefield within a few days of coming to Ba County, and I am a little ashamed in my heart." ”

Xu Deyan hurriedly bowed respectfully: "See the general, I opened my mouth abruptly just now, please don't blame the general!" ”

Looking at Xu Deyan, who was respectfully in front of him, Li Xinchen felt a grotesque feeling in his heart. In another time and space, this Xu Ling's grandson was favored by Lechang because of his versatility, and became the only one in Nanchen who was not selected by Chen Xu, and this pair of talented and beautiful women was also widely known for a while, and then wrote a beautiful love story of "reunion after breaking the mirror" in the troubled times.

Whether it is Lechang's persistence or Xu Deyan's painstaking pursuit, many people have been moved.

It's just that in this time and space, Li Xinchen doesn't plan to give Xu Deyan a chance, and Lechang's mind obviously won't fall on Xu Deyan anymore. However, when he saw Xu Deyan, Li Xinchen still had the illusion of wearing a green hat to others.

Waving his hand, Li Xinchen said in a deep voice: "There is not so much attention on the battlefield. You start by talking about what you think. ”

Xu Deyan nodded: "This time, the Jinyun Mountain camp was taken down so easily, half of it was because we carefully hid our whereabouts and caught the enemy off guard, but there was also half of the reason······ The subordinates said something unpleasant because the enemy opened the gate of the village by himself. ”

Li Xinchen was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Xu Deyan meant. Pei Zilie didn't want to hide his meaning of how he took Jinyun Mountain, if it weren't for the Northern Zhou soldiers who took the initiative to surrender, even if Pei Zilie rushed to the bottom of the camp wall, it would not be so easy to break through this camp, after all, they marched all the way, and they didn't carry any heavy siege equipment at all, and if they attacked it, they would inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

When he received Pei Zilie's battle report, Li Xinchen was just a little funny that the door of the cottage was opened from the inside, but now when he heard what Xu Deyan said, he suddenly vaguely guessed what Xu Deyan wanted to say.

This shows that the general's policy of appeasing the displaced people these days has won favor in the hearts of many Zhou soldiers, and his subordinates have also learned about it from several prisoners who have taken the initiative to surrender, and they are also looking forward to the general's policy of giving land. Compared with the favorable conditions offered by the generals, their military salaries have also become insignificant. Xu Deyan said in a deep voice, "If this is the condition, it can indeed shake the enemy's military morale." ”

Li Xinchen suddenly looked at Xu Deyan, his gaze changed slightly. After a long journey, the first thing that this weak scholar thought of was not to sit down and rest, but to go and ask the captives, but to let Li Xinchen take a higher look at him.

But after thinking about it, Xu Deyan was born in the Xu family after all, and under the guidance of Xu Ling, a person who stands at the top of the entire era, although Xu Deyan is weaker, he is definitely not the kind of family gentleman who does not learn and has no skills. At least he knew what was important and what he should do at this time.

For Li Xinchen, such a subordinate is enough, after all, Li Xinchen can't ask everyone to be the same as himself, and his experience and prediction are also because of the experience of two lives.

"Of course, our current military salaries are generally higher than those of the Zhou State, especially the county soldiers in these places, so it is reasonable for them to have such thoughts, whether it is farming or fighting, it is obvious that the conditions on our side are superior." Pei Zilie also added.

Nodding slightly, Li Xinchen said slowly: "According to your meaning, attack the heart?" ”

Pei Zilie and Xu Deyan glanced at each other and bowed their heads at the same time.

"If you want to attack the heart, you have to take a few steps, Xiuyuan, you talk about it first." Li Xinchen leaned on the table unhurriedly, looked at Xu Deyan with interest, and at the same time did not forget to glance at Pei Zilie.

Pei Zilie also knew that Li Xinchen was taking this opportunity to test Xu Deyan, so he stood with his hands in his hands at the moment, just smiling slightly and waiting for Xu Deyan to say his thoughts first.

"Bang!" The stone projectile thrown by the trebuchet smashed heavily on the wall of Dongjiangyang County.

Naval warships lined up on the river, and the trebuchets and bed crossbows on board tirelessly shot at the city. On the river beach, the red flags symbolizing Nanchen fluttered in the wind, and in the sound of neat trumpets, a new batch of siege teams were being rectified.

Compared with Hezhou, the battle in Luzhou was not fancy. The most important thing in Luzhou is actually only a county town of Dongjiangyang, which is also the location of Luzhou in later generations, guarding the intersection of the Great River and Luoshui (now Tuojiang), and if you want to attack Shu County from the Great River, Dongjiangyang County is the only way.

Therefore, from Xiao Shilian's point of view, if you want to take Luzhou, there is no good choice except for a strong attack.

Li Xinchen, Pei Zilie and Xiao Shilian's preferences for using soldiers have obvious characteristics, Li Xinchen's thinking is jumping, and he likes to make surprise moves, whether it is the previous raid on Ji Nan or the later war in Ba County, it is a clear embodiment of his thinking.

And Pei Zilie has a stable personality and is actually better at defense, which is why Li Xinchen wants to go all the way with Pei Zilie, he can rest assured that Pei Zilie will stay and defend the city, but he is not worried that Pei Zilie will lead the army to attack.

As for Xiao Shilian, naturally there is no need to go into details, this guy's favorite thing is to rush and fight, so that he and Chen Zhishen, a fierce general with a "similar smell", will attack Luzhou City, which shows that Li Xinchen did not intend to outwit from the beginning. At the same time, just in case, Li Xinchen also asked Wang Chang to bring most of the sailors to Luzhou, so that at least Xiao Shilian could be given sufficient support, and they could cover the back road at a critical time.

Before Chen Zhishen's troops entered Hejiang, Luzhou Assassin Shi took the initiative to withdraw the defenders from all over the country, clearly meaning to hold on to a city. This means that Luzhou City is well defended, and there are more defenders than previously expected.

Therefore, it is not so easy to outwit, and it is even possible to steal chickens and rice, so against Luzhou, Li Xinchen directly fought steadily, without wanting to cover up his offensive attempts. And this invisibly naturally put more pressure on the Luzhou defenders, and even forced the Luzhou defenders to take the initiative to retreat all the soldiers and horses in the two camps outside the city before Chen Zhishen went any further, so as to avoid these three or four hundred people being swallowed by Chen Zhishen in one bite.

This is also why when Xiao Shilian rushed to the army, Chen Zhishen had already set up a position outside the city. However, Xiao Shilian didn't have much interest in commanding such a formal siege, so he simply took his personal guards directly to the front.

Luzhou City is certainly dangerous, but it is not without weaknesses, that is, this city is a city surrounded by water on three sides like White Emperor City, so for Li Xinchen, who is quite powerful as a water master, it is actually an advantage.

So now the sailors are throwing stone projectiles at the northern city wall of Luzhou on the east and west sides of Luzhou City, and at the same time, the arrows are constantly suppressing the enemy at the head of the city. As a result, the stone projectiles thrown from behind caused a lot of harassment to the defenders on the north wall.
