While looking up at the somewhat blurred cheeks in the firelight above the city, Wei Chi Yu said aloud: "General Li, you have to think clearly, what does it mean for the grasshopper to shake the tree!" There is no need for you to make unnecessary resistance here, do you want to listen to the old man's conditions? ”

Xiao Shilian stretched out his hand and pressed it, and Chen Zhishen and the others hurriedly gestured when they saw this, so that the surrounding soldiers were quiet. And Li Xinchen coughed lightly, looking at the old general in the firelight, he knew that Wei Chi Yuan was also anxious at this moment.

However, Li Xinchen frowned deeply and did not speak in a hurry.

Xiao Shilian couldn't help but be stunned, Li Xinchen's answer just now made his blood boil, why was this guy silent first?

"Boqing, what did you say that this Wei Chi Yuan suddenly wanted to negotiate with us, did he really think that he could persuade us to get out of the way?" Li Xinchen rubbed his chin lightly, and began to doubt his initial speculation.

And Xiao Shilian also frowned: "Yes, it stands to reason that we have completely rejected him just now, and now it's good not to release the arrow, why does he have to tell us the conditions here again?" What's more, as the commander of the army, he risked his life like this, just to negotiate with us? It's a bit overdone······"

Li Xinchen suddenly remembered something, suddenly gasped, and stretched out his hand to pat the battlements: "This Wei Chi Yuan, nine times out of ten, is acting, and as you said, except for acting a little excessively, the others are really indistinguishable!" ”

"What do you mean?!" Xiao Shilian suddenly looked at the city in surprise, and kept looking at that Wei Chi Yuan, "You mean this is fake?!" ”

The surrounding generals also widened their eyes, and the fake lieutenant Chi Yuan?

Li Xinchen smiled bitterly: "You don't have to guess this, it must be true, otherwise if you were someone else, you wouldn't have the courage to talk to us calmly in front of the arrows." If any one of the entire Northern Zhou army is captured like this, then I don't think we need to fight this battle. This person talks in a calm tone, and can always grasp the key, and you look at the expressions of the Northern Zhou generals around him, and there is a lot of admiration, which is unlikely to be fake. ”

"Then why don't you talk about acting really ······?" Xiao Shilian said suspiciously, and immediately remembered something, "You mean that he played for us to show us, in order to make us relax our vigilance?!" ”

Li Xinchen spread his hands: "Although this is just a certain guess, but it is not impossible, Wei Chi Yuan's purpose may be the same as ours, not to save time and really let us get out of the way, but to delay!" ”

"So what does he want to do, really think we're going to relax like this?" Xiao Shilian couldn't help but scratch his head, such a twisting logic had made him unclear, and Chen Zhishen and the others around him simply looked at Li Xinchen directly and didn't think about it.

"Encircle the point and send reinforcements!" Li Xinchen said in a deep voice, "This lieutenant Chi Yu wants to drag us down and ambush our reinforcements!" It's no wonder that he sent scouts into Jingshan before, and nine times out of ten, he wanted to draw him out to bypass the light soldiers of Zhangshan County to explore the road. ”

Xiao Shilian's eyes suddenly widened in disbelief: "The road in the Jing Mountain is rugged······"

"Now that our army is attacking Jiangling, we will definitely not be able to draw out many troops, and this Zhangshan County is not big, it is stuck in the middle of Jingshan and Shuishui, so as long as we concentrate our forces to guard the northern city wall, nominally to defend the city, but in fact to guard a pass," Li Xinchen's voice was worried, "So it doesn't take much army to fill in, with the character of the general of the left guard, even if he is more worried about Zhangshan County, he will send five or six thousand people at most." ”

After a pause, Li Xinchen then said: "As long as there are five or six thousand light soldiers, with enough bows and crossbows, and even no need to bring more grain and grass, and ambush on both sides of the road to surprise them, it is easy to calculate our reinforcements!" ”

At that time, the faces of Xiao Shilian and the others changed. Now Zhangshan County is still in the hands of Nan Chen, so the reinforcements coming from the north will definitely not think that there will be an enemy ambush on the road, and only care about the journey all the way, and in order to hold on, it is also conceivable that they must carry more food, so as long as this Northern Zhou ambush army can destroy them, they don't even have to worry about the problem of food.

As for the mountain roads in Jingshan, cavalry and large baggage are not to be considered, but a light soldier carrying only short blades and bows and crossbows is very easy to pass. Therefore, the feasibility of this plan is very large.

Good calculation, good strategy!

With such a plan, Li Xinchen could think of it for the second time on the battlefield, Wei Chi Hui had spent most of his life in the fierce battle on the battlefield, and he must have thought of it even more, not to mention this kind of strategy of multiple roads, avenue containment, and small road circuits, but Yu Chi Hui has always been very good at it, when he entered Shu more than 20 years ago, he used such tactics to fight Nanliang Xiao Ji couldn't find the north at all.

The current Wei Chi Yu is obviously repeating his old tricks.

"Without further ado, we must hurry up and warn the reinforcements who are coming!" Xiao Shilian tried his best to keep his voice low, but it was difficult to hide his panicked look.

He knew very well what reinforcements meant to Zhangshan County, even if Xiao Shilian had always been bold, he didn't naively think that Li Xinchen and himself would be able to hold Zhangshan County for how long with less than 3,000 people, after all, the other party was ten times his own, if he really wanted to fight hard, I was afraid that it would not take a day or two to crush it.

In the final analysis, no matter how struggling and tenacious an ant is, in the face of the absolute strength of the elephant, it is just an ant that can be stepped on with one foot.

Therefore, what Xiao Shilian needs to do now is to grit his teeth and hold on until the reinforcements arrive, as long as the reinforcements arrive, this crumbling Zhangshan County can naturally become impregnable.

Therefore, reinforcements are the greatest hope in the hearts of these soldiers, Xiao Shilian can't imagine how much perseverance these soldiers still have to hold on once they learn that the reinforcements have been defeated and there is a shortage of food and arrows in the city.

Even Xiao Shilian was terrified in front of this enemy's heavy formation, not to mention these soldiers.

Li Xinchen frowned, and said thoughtfully: "Boqing, this matter is very important, send someone else, you and I can't rest assured, why don't you go in person." We still have more than 200 horses, and those who were equipped with these horses before were also elite scouts in the army, and if you take them all out, you don't have to bring them with you, but they will drag them down. ”

"But ······" Xiao Shilian subconsciously glanced at the fire under the city, "There will be more than two hundred fewer people guarding the city like this, it's really ······"

"As long as reinforcements can arrive, there are two hundred fewer people, two hundred more, there is no difference." Li Xinchen gritted his teeth, "Boqing, you have always dared to fight and rush, and you are more suitable for this matter." Nine times out of ten, the one who led the army to help is also Brother Dashi, although Brother Dashi is alert, but it is inevitable that he will relax his sentinel around because of the tense battle, so you have to find him no matter what! ”

Xiao Shilian took a deep breath, nodded solemnly, and immediately asked in surprise: "······ you Shizhong?"

Li Xinchen slowly turned his head and bowed towards the city: "Try to hold off Wei Chi Yuan here, whether it is false or wrong, or stubbornly defending the city, I will definitely try to attract their attention, and when they find out that we are out of the city at the south gate, I am afraid it will be too late!" ”

Xiao Shilian didn't say anything, just bowed his hand to Li Xinchen and the rest of the generals, and immediately turned around and walked towards the city.
