Li Xinchen did not rush to explain, but took the time to snatch the book of war from Xiao Shilian's hand, which was a copy of "The Art of War".

There are many art of war handed down in China, but the most respected of many art of war is actually "The Art of War", many of which have disappeared in the process of inheritance, only "The Art of War" has not only not been lost, but has been learned and accepted by more and more people.

Those who understand "Sun Tzu" may only be "talking on paper", but those who do not understand "Sun Tzu" do not know about the arrangement of troops and the formulation of tactics and strategies, and I am afraid that they cannot even be counted as "talking on paper".

Li Xinchen went straight to a page in "The Art of War", pointed to a sentence on it and looked at Xiao Shilian: "This is the only thing that can be done now." ”

Xiao Shilian subconsciously glanced at the title, it was the article "Nine Places", and the position of Li Xinchen's finger was impressively written, "Put it in the place of death and live after".

"Leave to die and live ······" Xiao Shilian muttered, and couldn't help but reach out and pat the edge of the bed, "Okay, good!" ”

Li Xinchen smiled bitterly, knowing that such a strategy must be in line with Xiao Shilian's temperament. At that moment, he dipped the water in the teacup, lightly drew three lines on the table, and said in a deep voice:

"This is Panlong County, this is Tiangongyuan Mountain, this is Xichong, these three places constitute three lines of defense, especially Tiangongyuan Mountain and Xichong, one guards the southbound road, and the other connects the mountains on both sides, which can be defended by danger, so there is still room for a certain one."

"This ······ Exit Langzhong? Xiao Shilian couldn't help frowning.

Li Xinchen smiled: "What about quitting Langzhong, Boqing, don't forget, what is the real purpose of our coming to Langzhong." ”

Xiao Shilian was stunned for a moment, and then nodded slowly.

Li Xinchen led the army out of Langzhong in order to attract Wei Chi Hui and Wei Xiaokuan to Langzhong, so as to create opportunities for the direction of Shu County.

And in the Langzhong region, such as Panlong County, it is actually not a big problem in whose hands, even if Li Xinchen loses Panlong County, he can still rely on the mountains around Tiangongyuan Mountain or even further south of Xichong and Nanchong to defend, as long as Wei Chi Yuan and Wei Xiaokuan can't kill Shishan County, then they will never threaten Pei Zilie's back road to attack Shu County.

When Li Xinchen's troops entered Langzhong, he had actually put himself to death.

Xiao Shilian said softly: "Shizhong, do you think we can stop it?" ”

Xiao Shilian had such a thought, which was also expected by Li Xinchen, after all, they only had 3,000 people, and they faced ten times as many enemies as themselves. Even if there is a natural danger that can be used as a defense, there is still no confidence in my heart.

Of course, Xiao Shilian cared about whether he could stop it, not because he was afraid of death, but because he wanted to know whether the sacrifice made by so many of them step by step was worth it.

"How do you know if you don't try," Li Xinchen said lightly, "I believe that the master also understands our situation, and he will do his best on the Shu County side." ”

"Bang!" The boulder fell from the sky and hit the wall hard, and the wall shook violently, and it was about to collapse.

The cold wind on the river is blowing, like a knife cut, and the warships are lined up. As the orders from the flagship continued to come, the huge building ship slowly adjusted its attack direction and threw out all the stone bullets it carried.

"Crossbow!" Wang Chang pressed his sword in his hand and roared loudly, even the howling wind could not blow away the high fighting spirit in his voice. The water master finally got the opportunity to perform, and of course Wang Chang would not let it go so easily.

The bed-cross on the ship slowly fills the strings, and iron arrows are placed on the crossbows. The soldiers who pushed the winch all held their strength and waited for Wang Chang's order.

"Shoot the arrows!" Wang Chang waved his hand violently, and the drums behind him rose to the ground!

On each ship, a bed crossbow shot out huge iron arrows, which pierced the howling river wind and pounced on the paper-thin camp ahead.

Everyone knows that the small Pijiang Water Village will not be able to hold out for long under such an attack. This was the clarion call for Nan Chen to begin his attack on Shu County.

The arrow roared and flew over the watchtower, piercing the thin plank of the watchtower, and the plank flew up with the arrow, and the iron arrow was castrated, directly piercing the two Northern Zhou soldiers on the watchtower. More flying low iron arrows swept through the gaps in the previous stone projectiles, and only the screams behind the wall could be heard.

There were also arrows scattered in the camp, but most of them did not have enough range, and before they could get close to the warship, they fell weakly and weakly, floating on the water, and were swept away by the churning river in an instant.

"Shield!" Seeing the enemy's weak counterattack, Wang Chang was also relieved, and then ordered, "Go ahead!" ”

The ship cleaved the waves, and the crossbowmen on board were ready to quickly come within range of a normal crossbow.

"Release the boat!" Wang Chang's voice has gradually stabilized.

One by one, the small boats were lowered from the building ship, and Meng Chong and Chima in the fleet also sailed out of the gap in the building boat, forming a triangular formation and slowly advancing forward. There are constantly arrows whistling in the Pijiang Water Village, but the sailor has long been prepared, most of these arrows fall on the water, and even those that fall on the boat are blocked by shields.

Originally, this kind of shooting across the wall, not seeing each other, only pay attention to the number to achieve the killing effect, obviously the defenders in the water village are not much, these scattered arrows are naturally difficult to pose a threat to the Nanchen Water Division.

The first Meng Chong stuck to the trestle of the wharf, and the arrows flying out of the camp suddenly became dense, almost shooting this Meng Chong into a hedgehog, and the soldiers on Meng Chong kept falling.

However, taking advantage of this opportunity, the few Meng Chong behind quickly leaned on the trestle, and the soldiers on Meng Chong skillfully lowered the gangplank, and the shield hand holding the shield took the lead and rushed towards the end of the trestle.

The Meng Chong in front was just a decoy, and the ones behind were carrying soldiers.

The arrow hit the shield with a "poof", and the soldier who ran forward was hit, and sometimes someone was hit by the arrow, and his body was crooked, and he fell directly into the water. And even if they fall on the pier, they will be pulled into the cabin by their companions behind them without hesitation or simply pushed directly into the water.

At this time, if you can't hurry to cross the trestle, so many people will become a living target for the enemy's crossbowmen, so there must be trade-offs and sacrifices.

"Quick, get ashore!" A Nanchen lord roared and stepped on the ground at the end of the trestle and rushed directly towards the nearest gate. The gate had been smashed open by stone projectiles thrown by trebuchets - this was of course the place where the trebuchets took care of it.

However, the enemy was also prepared, seeing the enemy rushing across the trestle, he simply pushed the top of the two Saimen knife carts up, and a platoon of spearmen was already waiting behind the Saimen knife carts.

"Crossbowmen!" The Lord yelled.

Several crossbowmen were hurrying ashore when they heard a sound and drew their bows and arrows.
