Chapter 542: Starfire
Torches were lit gradually, and the mountain roads were illuminated.
Li Xinchen stood next to Lu Qi, who had been removed, and looked at the Northern Zhou soldiers who were squatting on the side and shivering, and there was a mess everywhere. And the footsteps behind him hurriedly sounded, and the leaders of the Ba people looked at this battlefield in surprise, which was not large in scale but could not be said not to be tragic.
Li Xinchen can be said to have staged a textbook-like battle for them, from erasing the sentry post to shooting with a bow and crossbow to rushing to kill, although Li Xinchen's subordinates only have more than ten personal guards, and the rest are scarecrows, but these dozen people seem to have played a role in Li Xinchen's hands.
These Ba leaders were already roughly able to guess what Li Xinchen wanted to do, and at this time they didn't even have the courage to imagine what kind of oppression and fear it would bring to the defenders of Cangxi Valley if the surrounding checkpoints of Cangxi Valley were pulled out by Li Xinchen through this means.
Li Xinchen smiled and said: "What should be done, there must be no need to say anything, if you want to fight side by side with a certain person in the future, and you want the Ba people not to continue to survive in the deep mountains, then after two days, all the levels around this Cangxi Valley should no longer exist." β
The leaders of the Ba people did not hesitate at all this time, and at the same time took a step forward and bowed their hands neatly: "Please also rest assured General Dangkou." β
Seeing these Ba leaders turn around and leave, Li Xinchen slowly clenched his fists. He just wanted to tell Wei Xiaokuan and Wei Chi Hui through this kind of uninterrupted attack that this Cangxi Valley was the main battlefield that Li Xinchen had chosen, no matter whether Wei Xiaokuan and Wei Chi Hui were willing or not, as long as they wanted to get out of Langzhong, then they must be ready to fight with Li Xinchen in Cangxi Valley.
As for the two old generals who led their troops to attack Tiangongyuan Mountain in an effort to threaten Li Xinchen's flank and back road, then I'm sorry, Li Xinchen will definitely not hesitate to cut off Micang Mountain and Cangxi Valley, so that they know what it means to cut off the grain road.
Xiao Shilian wiped the saber and said in a deep voice: "Shizhong, if you just get rid of these levels, it won't really affect the enemy's guards in this Cangxi Valley, as long as the main road in Cangxi Valley is still under control, I'm afraid Wei Xiaokuan and Wei Chi Yuan will still do their best to avoid fighting us." β
Li Xinchen squinted slightly, he admitted that Xiao Shilian was right, Wei Chi Hui and Wei Xiaokuan had fought for most of their lives, and it was absolutely impossible for Li Xinchen to get angry because of this small provocation, his fingers lightly tapped the hilt of the sword, Li Xinchen said lightly:
"This is just the first step, the next step is waiting for Wei Xiaokuan to go."
Xiao Shilian was stunned for a moment, roughly understood what Li Xinchen meant, and couldn't help but take a light breath and look up at the night sky in the distance. It is still ruled by the light of the moon and the stars, but I am afraid that it will soon be illuminated by the light of fire.
In the darkness of the fire, the corners of Li Xinchen's mouth raised slightly.
A spark can start a prairie fire.
The taste of this spark is not pleasant.
ββββββββββββββ-
"What did you say?!" He Louzigan looked at the Northern Zhou generals who were kneeling in front of him on one knee, covered in blood, and then looked at the corpses on the ground, he knew that what the Northern Zhou generals who escaped from death said was true, but He Louzigan couldn't believe it.
Almost overnight, more than 10 peripheral checkpoints were attacked, and more than 20 teams patrolling and transporting grain and grass disappeared, so it can be said that thousands of soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty disappeared into the vast night.
Sudden attacks, I don't know how many enemies, ferocious attacksΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· These things that came out of the mouths of the frightened soldiers gave He Louzi a little headache.
Obviously, his side has an advantage in troops, and even occupies a terrain advantage in many places, so how can he say that he will be attacked if he is attacked, and he will be wiped out if he is destroyed?
But the bloodied generals and the corpses on the ground with their heads cut off are undoubtedly telling He Louzi to do it, and this is all true. The more than ten corpses on the ground are all generals of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and generals above the battle lord, and there is even a cronie of He Louzigan's cronies, which shows that the enemy's attack is very purposeful, and they also know who is the leader of the team, and they need the heads of these Northern Zhou generals to receive the reward.
Of course, He Louzigan did not believe that those Ba people who had been cowering in the mountains for too long had the ability and courage to organize such a large-scale attack, which could only show that Li Xinchen had arrived, or that the battle of Cangxi Valley had begun.
Regardless of whether Wei Xiaokuan and Wei Chi Hui have the mind and want to face the battle, they must fight this battle, and they have no choice.
"Quick, inform General Cao on the south side of the situation here, and send a copy of the battle report to the Sword Pavilion and Panlong County." He Louzi waved his hand, "What is the closest checkpoint from here, the personal guards and a certain will go to see it together." β
This Cangxi valley is long and narrow, and it is also divided into two areas in the north and south along the main road, and the north all the way to the Sword Pavilion is the responsibility of Wei Xiaokuan, the main part is He Louzigan, and the south part is the responsibility of Cao Xiaoda, the general of Wei Chi Yuan.
Cao Xiaoda is a steady and humble person, it should be said that he is the most admired and respected general in Wei Xiaokuan's army, and Wei Chi Hui sent him to obviously avoid disputes as much as possible at this time.
He Louzigan had also dealt with Cao Xiaoda before, and he knew that now was the time to join forces to meet the enemy, so he didn't want to hide the situation from Cao Xiaoda.
However, the anger in He Louzi's dry words was still clearly heard by everyone. It's really a shame to come up and suffer such a big loss.
The generals were worried and wanted to speak, but He Louzi glared: "Li Xinchen has not yet had the ability to find trouble with Lao Tzu in broad daylight, and he has shown Lao Tzu the place you should be responsible for, if something happens, Li Xinchen doesn't want your head, and Lao Tzu will not be polite to you!" β
The generals looked at each other, obviously the changes between the nights had completely angered He Louzigan, and in the end, one of He Louzigan's cronies whispered: "Is the general planning to compete with Li Xinchen first?" β
He Louzi paused slightly, and then said in a cold voice: "I want to see how many catties and taels this Li Xinchen has." β
Several generals subconsciously wanted to speak, but He Louzi waved his hand to prevent them from saying more, and his words were already impatient:
"Li Xinchen has just arrived, even if he has colluded with the Ba people before, he will definitely not be able to command easily, so if he can find Li Xinchen's main force or lure Li Xinchen into the trap now, it is obviously easier to deal with it later than later. We have more than 7,000 soldiers and horses here, but we are just dealing with an army of Ba people, don't you have any confidence at all? β
Everyone is still clear about the temper of their own commander, and there is only only promise at the moment.
