Chapter 370: The South Bank of the River

Just destroyed more than ten fireships of the enemy, and he lost two Mengchong first, Wang Chang's face was somewhat ashamed, and he couldn't help but look at Li Xinchen.

Speaking of which, this is the first time he has commanded such a large-scale naval fleet, which is Li Xinchen's trust in him, so Wang Chang, who feels ashamed of Li Xinchen, has a hot face.

Li Xinchen didn't have much intention to blame Wang Chang, the hydrology and topography of the upper reaches of the river were very different from those downstream, especially this narrow waterway, which was easy to defend and take by surprise, so Li Xinchen didn't expect to be able to easily kill all the way to Bajun City.

It is not a bad thing that the enemy only has such an organized fleet of sailors in Bashu, and it is not a good thing to have some resistance so that Li Xinchen can train the sailors to facilitate the next attack on Luzhou and Shu County.

"Retire and recuperate." Li Xinchen said in a deep voice, "We don't need to panic. ”

Wang Chang nodded hurriedly and ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

The flotilla, which had already stopped, began to retreat slowly, and a few Mengchong did not retreat, but instead of retreating, they were monitoring the entrance to Causeway Gorge and beware of the enemy's fireships - but this was only out of caution, and it was not very likely that the enemy would be foolish enough to repeat the trick of the two batches of fireships.

After all, when the Nanchen Sailor first arrived, he attacked with a fireboat, and he couldn't achieve any big results, but now that the Nanchen Sailor was engrossed, he naturally wouldn't give the Bajun Sailor a chance again.

Wang Chang led the team of ships to go first, while Meng Chong retreated under the cover of the latter section and retreated until he retreated to the foot of the wild boar rock, and just in case, Wang Chang still left a few Meng Chong warnings at the mouth of the Causeway Gorge. With the strength of the enemy's sailors, it was simply not enough to break through the blockade of a few Mengchong ships, so Wang Chang did this more or less with the meaning of killing chickens with a knife.

But for the unfamiliar Nanchen Shui Shi now, such security measures are still very necessary.

And Li Xinchen didn't care how Wang Chang arranged the fleet - Wang Chang was more experienced than all the other generals in this regard - he just subconsciously looked sideways at Lao Yashan Mountain, which was still in the clouds, before Chen Zhishen's side had no news, there was no need for him to advance so fast, otherwise it would be easy to be surrounded by the enemy.

Now Li Xinchen has only these forces in his hands, and it should not be fully replenished in the short term, so he has to be cautious.

"Boqing, the focus is not on Lao Ya Mountain, nor on Causeway Gorge, but on you." Li Xinchen couldn't help but murmur, "Don't let someone down." ”

——————————————————--

Cheng Feng felt that he was either crazy, or the Xiao Shilian in front of him was crazy.

After taking Fuling without blood, Xiao Shilian did not stay, leaving three hundred soldiers to defend the city - in fact, these three hundred people were much stronger than the four or five hundred Tuntian soldiers under Cheng Feng's command before - he personally led the army and Cheng Feng, the local "leading party", to march for a day and a night, and arrived at Huangshan on the south bank of the river.

This Yellow Mountain is not the Yellow Mountain, this is a peak among the mountains of Nanshan across the river from Ba County, and this mountain is hidden in the mountains, it is not high, but it has a unique flavor. And from the location of Huangshan, you can see the Bajun city on the opposite bank.

Due to years of conquest and clear walls, the villages and towns on the south bank have basically been deserted, so although Xiao Shilian kept scattering the scouts along the way, he didn't find anything, and he went all the way here.

Originally, Cheng Feng thought that it was shocking enough to run far to Nanshan, but when he saw that these guys actually started cutting down bamboo to make bamboo rafts, Cheng Feng didn't know what to call these guys.

They're not really going crazy to attack Ba County, are they?

Thinking about the achievements of this Fenwei general and that Dangkou general, Cheng Feng felt that this was not an impossible thing.

"Uncle Yuan brother (Cheng Feng's words), come and take a look." Xiao Shilian, who was not far away, seemed to be in a good mood and beckoned to Cheng Feng.

And Cheng Feng didn't dare to slack off, no matter what this madman wanted to do, at least he had to hurry up and cooperate now, otherwise it would not be the defenders in Bajun City who would be unlucky first, but him.

"General." Xiao Shilian was polite to Cheng Feng, Cheng Feng didn't dare to take a shelf, he was now a general, Xiao Shilian didn't take off his Taishou seal to his face, which was already good - Cheng Feng didn't know that Xiao Shilian didn't have a suitable person to take on this Taishou - so he was still respectful to Xiao Shilian.

Xiao Shilian's mood is certainly quite good, because he will undoubtedly be the protagonist in this battle. Li Xinchen did not hesitate to give him the opportunity to make meritorious service this time. According to the latest battle report, Li Xinchen and Chen Zhishen have advanced to the line from Lao Ya Mountain to Tongluo Mountain and then to Tongluo Gorge according to the plan, and they are fighting steadily, and the next strange soldiers will depend on him.

"Uncle Yuan, do you know anything about this Ba County?" Xiao Shilian didn't look at the map at all, and directly stretched out his hand and pointed to the city under the mountain and on the other side of the river.

Cheng Feng didn't dare to slack off: "His subordinates once served as a lieutenant in Ba County for five years, and then he was transferred to Fuling County as a taishou and concurrently served as the lieutenant of Tuntian. ”

Xiao Shilian glanced at Cheng Feng with some surprise, this sentence was clearly telling him that the Taishou of Fuling County in front of him obviously knew Ba County very well, and he could even say that he knew the surrounding mountains and rivers well.

Xiao Shilian was worried that Dai Cai, the only one who was familiar with the situation in Bashu, followed Li Xinchen, and he could only cross the river by feeling the stones, but he didn't expect that this Tuntian Lieutenant, who looked much older than his actual age, also had such a background.

In an instant, Xiao Shilian even understood a little why Li Xinchen asked him to take a detour to Fuling, definitely not only to occupy this city located in the rear of the side, I am afraid that there is also a certain reason because of this Cheng Feng.

Li Xinchen's strategy for Bashu has gradually emerged in Xiao Shilian's heart. It is true that his troops are sufficient, but when facing the Xiongguan Mandao of Bashu, no matter how sufficient the troops are, they may be wiped out after the first battle, so Li Xinchen did not plan to attack with a large army from the beginning.

It's not so much that he's attacking, it's more like attacking the heart.

Whether it is Dai Cai of White Emperor City, Tang Yishun of Wanchuan County and Cheng Feng of Fuling County, they actually have their own weaknesses, especially for the current situation that they are about to die of old age in Bashu but cannot be reused.

This Cheng Feng mentioned his previous experience in Ba County, and the resentment in his words was obvious, and he did not hide it at all.

Thinking about it, being transferred from the governor of a large county to a small county town with only thousands of households in the mountains to serve as a taishou is not a promotion at all, but a distribution. It is also thanks to this Cheng Feng's ten honest people, otherwise others may directly hang the seal and leave.

But the clay man still has three points of anger, he dared to be angry before, but now that the city has changed hands, of course Cheng Feng can't hide his resentment.
