March is the most warm and pleasant time for the climate.

However, in the Cangxi Valley, a place surrounded by mountains, clouds and mist, the whole air is wet, and it is conceivable that a spring rain is coming.

The mountain roads are softened by the humidity that permeates the air. Walking on it, you can feel the thickness of the soil. Several Nanchen soldiers cautiously walked through the dense trees, their trousers wet with the morning dew.

"Boss, look ahead." One of the scouts who opened the way in front of him paused and fell directly to the ground, while his companions in the back crouched or crouched on their stomachs, trying to hide their whereabouts.

Nan Chen, who led the team, frowned slightly, looked at the crowd in front of him, and couldn't help but be a little curious: "Why did these guys suddenly start packing up their things?" ”

Not far ahead is an important peripheral checkpoint of the Northern Zhou army south of Changgu, because there are three or four hundred soldiers stationed, so Du Qi, who is responsible for disturbing the enemy south of Changgu, has not dared to attack here, for fear that stealing chickens will not lead to rice.

But what shocked these scouts today was that this level would be evacuated on their own initiative.

Although they didn't know what the Northern Zhou people wanted to do, several scouts around them all subconsciously glanced at each other, and a chill climbed up their spines.

The enemy is definitely going to make a big move.

"Let's go, let's leave quickly, and the news here must be sent back as soon as possible." The general waved his hand almost without hesitation.

Several figures turned and disappeared into the trees.

And the general didn't know that not far behind him, Cao Xiaoda was commanding several lieutenants around him, as if he felt something, Cao Xiaoda looked back, but there was extraordinary silence in the woods behind him.

Several lieutenants looked at him in surprise.

"Maybe I misheard." Cao Xiaoda shook his head slightly, and then said in a low voice, "After the fight broke out on the Changgu side, you immediately took a detour along this road, outflanked the enemy, remember, and tried to hide your whereabouts. ”

Several close adjutant generals responded at the same time.

And Cao Xiaoda squinted slightly, I don't know if Du Qi is so easy to deceive, and I don't know if Li Xinchen will let Xiao Shilian guard this long valley?

——————————————————

When Cangxi Valley was still shrouded in fog, a light rain had already fallen on the official road west of Panlong County. The road that had fallen into disrepair became muddy, and heavy trucks struggled to move forward on this muddy road.

Most of these baggage were transferred from Hanzhong through the Sword Pavilion, and now in order to prevent the grain and grass from falling into Li Xinchen's hands, they can only be transferred back with great difficulty. As for the trebuchets and bed crossbows that Wei Xiaokuan had worked so hard to bring, only a small part was kept, and most of them had already been burned outside the city of Panlong County.

"Get the front up to speed." Wei Chi tugged at the reins, staring at the rain curtain in front of him. In the vast world, it seems that only the fine and dense rain is left at this time. But Wei Chi always felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Maybe it's because after they leave Panlong County now, at least one acre and three points of land in Langzhong have no foundation, or maybe it's because this rain curtain makes Wei Chi Yuan even more unable to see the confusing battle situation when he doesn't know where the road is.

"General," a Northern Zhou general rushed out of the wind and rain, "the scout we explored in front of us is gone!" I haven't been back for more than half an hour. ”

"What?!" Wei Chi raised his eyebrows, and his voice subconsciously raised a few points.

Originally, he sent scouts, not to know where the enemy was, but to establish contact with Cangxi Valley as soon as possible, but now that the scouts are gone, what's going on? Could it be that Cangxi Valley has all fallen into Li Xinchen's hands?

"Did you send out new scouts?" Wei Chi said thoughtfully.

Although the scouts in the army are generally veterans of the battlefield. And generally the surrounding terrain is almost lined up, so that you can know in what direction you should explore, and what information you should mainly reconnoiter the enemy, but the battlefield situation is complicated, and no one knows what scouts will encounter, so it is a common thing for scouts to lose contact with the army.

But this time, Wei Chi Yu did not let the scouts go out to find out where Li Xinchen was, or whether the enemy on the side of the Tiangong Courtyard had any changes, but simply asked them to contact Wei Xiaokuan, even if this was the case, the scouts had not returned after more than half an hour, indicating that there was a great possibility of an accident.

The general answered, and was about to speak, when an exclamation suddenly came from the rain curtain ahead.

Not far in front of Wei Chi Yuan, a Northern Zhou soldier fell with an arrow, and then the rest of the soldiers who were hurriedly pushing the cart and urging the horses were also drowned by the arrow. The horse neighed, trying in vain to break free from the wheels, but in vain.

And Wei Chi's eyes widened and he shouted: "Enemy attack! ”

In the rain, in the surrounding barren grass and woods, one figure after another stood up and rushed towards the long line on the official road.

The rain slid down his helmet, and the wind blew down on his cheeks, and Cao Zhong ran forward quickly with his sword in his hand, without the slightest pause in his footsteps, and countless Nan Chen soldiers followed closely behind him, crashing into the enemy's long military formation.

"Kill!" Cao Zhong slashed heavily on the shield in the hand of a Northern Zhou soldier, and the Northern Zhou soldier screamed and retreated again and again, but Cao Zhong did not hesitate at all, directly knocked into the other two Northern Zhou soldiers, and directly pounced on Wei Chi Yuan who was not far away.

The Bashu Mountain Road is rugged, so the cavalry is basically useless, and the vast majority of battles are carried out in the form of foot combat. Therefore, someone like Wei Chi Hui who is qualified to ride a horse must be either rich or expensive, and Cao Zhong naturally will not let go of this prey that is already close in front of him.

Of course, Wei Chi Yuan's personal guards are not vegetarians, they raised their shields to protect Wei Chi Yuan at the first time, and at the same time, spearmen and sword and shield bearers were already lined up. Seeing the enemy rushing directly towards this side,

Although Wei Chi Yu had already turned over and dismounted at the first time, his goal was so obvious that he would definitely be given priority.

At this time, Wei Chi Zhen was in a trance, just watching Cao Zhong with his soldiers and horses crashing into his own guards. By this time, he already knew where his scouts had gone, and he knew even more about where these enemies had come from.

He and Wei Xiaokuan only considered Li Xinchen, but they forgot that Li Xinchen's command was not only the Ba people in Cangxi Valley.

The army that was pulled out by Li Xinchen to stand on the defense line of Tiangongyuan Mountain, and the most dangerous place on the entire front, is Li Xinchen's real descendant.

In particular, this lineage is still on the battlefield where there is a lot of fighting, and it has gained a rare opportunity to breathe and rectify for half a month.

In the spring rain, Wei Chi looked at the countless Nan Chen troops who rushed out of the rain curtain, and his heart was like ice for a while.
