Chapter 489: Cut off

Wang Chang looked at the corpses piled up inside and outside the walled gate, and couldn't help but be secretly speechless.

He had been in the army for a long time, but he did not really participate in many tragic battles. After all, in the confrontation between the North and the South, the naval division of the Southern Dynasty has always occupied an overwhelming advantage, so the main role played by the naval division is to support and transport troops along the coast.

The last time Chen Zhishen and Xiao Shilian attacked Luzhou, they destroyed many enemy city defense equipment with trebuchets carried by the sailor warships.

Therefore, seeing such a tragic battlefield scene with his own eyes is actually the first time for Wang Chang. But after all, he is a person who has experienced many wars, and he has not stopped there. He walked straight through these corpses, and soon saw Chen Zhishen sitting peacefully outside the tent of the Chinese army in the camp.

Chen Zhishen was holding his broadsword, and there was a headless corpse at his feet, Wang Chang just subconsciously glanced in the direction of another gate in the camp, and found out where the head of the corpse had gone.

Obviously, this is the corpse of the main general of the camp defenders, and Chen Zhishen did not have the slightest politeness, and directly hung the head on the gate of the walled city facing Shu County, which can be regarded as a deterrent to the defenders in the city.

"These guys must have received the news that reinforcements are about to arrive," Chen Zhishen saw Wang Chang, and he was not ambiguous, and spoke directly, "They are also local villagers in Bashu, but they are more stubborn than the enemies we met in Bajun and Luzhou before." ”

"Whether Wei Xiaokuan comes or not, at least it gives them hope." Wang Chang nodded, his face was not happy because he had taken this Pijiang Water Village and completely controlled the passage in and out of Shu County, and was even a little worried.

The reinforcements led by Wei Xiaokuan are still on the Shu Road, but it is obvious that he has informed the defenders of Shu County of the news that the reinforcements will arrive again and again, and the defenders of Shu County are convinced that this long-established veteran can achieve the final victory with soldiers and horses several times larger than the enemy, so they subconsciously want to hold on.

Instead of finally choosing to surrender like Dai Cai in White Emperor City and Cheng Feng in Fuling County before.

In the final analysis, it is because Li Xinchen's strength is too weak, if it is Li Xinchen who now has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, Wang Chang believes that even if these guys know that there are famous generals like Wei Xiaokuan and Wei Chi Yuan who come to support, I am afraid they will have to weigh it, at least they will not be so hard when resisting.

Chen Zhishen picked up a branch and scratched it on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Zhong Fan, you see, this is the Pijiang River, and to the north across Luoshui is Mianzhu, and to the south is Shu County." And between the two rivers is Guanghan, and now General Wu Yi has led his troops to the Mianzhu area, so from Mianzhu to the south to Shu County, there are three lines of defense. ”

The road in Shuzhong is tortuous, often

Immediately afterwards, Chen Zhishen nodded on the south side of the Pijiang River: "And this is Shu County, Shu County is like a nail embedded in the back of these three lines of defense." ”

Wang Chang narrowed his eyes, and Chen Zhishen nodded the location of Shu County: "So we must pull out this nail, even without the direct cooperation of General Wu Yi." ”

Wang Chang took a breath of cool air, Chen Zhishen's soldiers and horses plus his sailors, a total of three or four thousand people, although the defenders in Shu County City are only less than two thousand, even if they levy people to help defend the city, it is difficult to reach the number of five thousand, but in the final analysis, this is also a heroic city, with such a small number of people attacking, it is a little whimsical.

"Mianzhu is not in our hands now, General Wu Yi can only rely on Luoshui to defend," Chen Zhishen said in a low voice, "Once Wei Xiaokuan kills him, how long do you think General Wu Yi will be able to hold out?" ”

After a moment of silence, Wang Chang nodded solemnly: "Attack Shu County······ We have no choice. ”

"yes, there's no choice." Chen Zhishen stood up and patted the dust on his body, "Actually, when we followed General Li into Ba County, there was no way back, what else can we do now besides moving forward?" ”

Wang Chang didn't answer, just clenched his fists and looked south.

Shu County ······

——————————————-

"Shizhong ······" Pei Zilie slowly closed the letter sent by Li Xinchen from Langzhong.

As soon as he arrived at Mianzhu Pass, he received a letter from Li Xinchen from Langzhong. Li Xinchen concisely expounded his views and looked like he was doing business. But it was precisely because of this that Pei Zilie felt uncomfortable.

This guy ······ is planning to put himself to death, and the only one who can break through this place of death and save him is Pei Zilie.

It seems that the battle situation in Bashu is very big, but Pei Zilie knows that this battle situation is so small that the two battlefields of Shu County and Langzhong can completely affect each other, and even the success or failure of one battlefield directly affects the other battlefield.

The victory of one battlefield will also directly determine the victory of the entire Bashu battle.

Li Xinchen obviously saw through this, so he wanted to introduce all the pressure into Langzhong, and then Pei Zilie would win the victory on the battlefield of Shu County, and then affect the overall situation.

Shu County is the core of Bashu, and it is also the "country of abundance", and most of the Shu County is in the hands of Bashu. Occupy Shu County and the key points such as Mianzhu and Guanghan around Shu County, then even if Wei Xiaokuan and Wei Chi Hui have the advantage of troops and are trapped in Langzhong or Shu Road, they must withdraw their troops.

"General, there are about five or six hundred enemies in Mianzhu," Xu Deyan strode over, "most of them are stationed at the pass. ”

Perhaps because he has been in the military for a long time, Xu Deyan's appearance as a white-faced scholar has long disappeared, his face has tanned a lot, and he is dressed in armor on his body, which has the demeanor of a Confucian general. Even when he speaks, he is much more concise and tough.

"Mostly?" Pei Zilie raised his eyebrows, keenly aware of the biggest problem in Xu Deyan's words.

"Well," Xu Deyan stretched out his hand and pointed to the mountain next to Mianzhu Pass, "Mianzhu guards the throat of Shu County, but there are still paths in the surrounding mountains, and you can easily climb to the front of the mountain through these paths." Mianzhu Pass had been breached before, and the enemy had obviously thought of this, and our scouts found the enemy's scouts when they were lining up these roads, and even saw a few small camps, although the number was not large, but it was enough to prevent our light troops from breaking through. ”

"Crossing the path and attacking from both sides, the emphasis is on a surprise, since there are scouts on the road, then it is unrealistic for us to want to take the path, and it is difficult to play a role if our whereabouts are exposed," Pei Zilie said thoughtfully, "And the enemy knows that we will not take the path again, but he still has to set up a camp and disperse his troops, which shows that the guards of Mianzhu Pass are more cautious but not enterprising." ”

Xu Deyan said with a smile: "It's good for the general to directly say that the other party is 'timid'." ”

Pei Zilie smiled to himself: "You still can't underestimate the enemy, after all, sometimes it's not a bad thing to be cautious." ”
