Song Ping, the assassin of Hezhou in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, looked at the battle in front of him and was in a trance.

Rows of Nanchen armor soldiers were arraying under the city, and huge catapults, bed crossbows and other siege equipment were also gathering behind the armor soldiers, without the slightest intention of covering their hideous minions. However, Li Xinchen's formation in order to attack Hezhou is far more than that, not far from the water, one after another building ships are also arranged, and even with the naked eye, you can see the busy Nan Chen soldiers coming and going on the building boats.

As the assassin of Hezhou, Song Ping has been unable to sleep at night since Bajun fell into the hands of Li Xinchen. After all, if there is such a tiger lying next to anyone who is likely to show his claws, it is impossible for that person to sleep in peace, not to mention that Li Xinchen, the tiger, is even more ferocious.

What kind of person Zhang He is, Song Ping knows it well, he suppressed Ba County with an iron fist, and almost turned the entire Ba County into his own independent kingdom, if it weren't for the fact that the troops in his hands were not enough to provoke the entire Northern Zhou court, I am afraid that Zhang He would really have to listen to the tune and not listen to the announcement.

But such a heroic figure, in front of Li Xinchen, he didn't even have the qualifications to fight in one round, Li Xinchen led the army upstream, and everywhere he went, the momentum was like a bamboo, and in the end, Zhang He was played by Li Xinchen and hanged himself.

Song Ping has had a lot of contact with Zhang He, and he knows very well what kind of character Zhang He is, and even such a person still loses so badly in front of Li Xinchen, let alone himself. But Song Ping had no choice, he was just an exiled Beijing official, and his wife and children were still in Chang'an City.

If Song Ping was given a choice, Song Ping really wanted to open the city gate directly to welcome Li Xinchen in, but he had no choice.

Before, seeing that Li Xinchen was also recruiting homeless people and building workshops, Song Ping once naively thought that Li Xinchen would not move troops this year, after all, as the weather turned colder, the army would face more difficulties and problems, so Song Ping once thought that he could support himself until the New Year.

Maybe when the new year comes, the reinforcements will arrive, after all, now the imperial court is a little too busy to take care of itself because of the change of the old and new emperors, and when the imperial court comes to its senses, it will be enough for Li Xinchen to send a large army back from the north.

However, Li Xinchen still rekindled the flames of war so straightforwardly, and simply interrupted Song Ping's beautiful expectations.

Song Ping had studied Li Xinchen before. This young general who relied on Zhangshan to become famous in the first battle, although he rose quickly, but his characteristics of using troops are, in the final analysis, to use strange and risky, after all, whether it was the former Zhangshan or the later invasion of Ba County, Li Xinchen achieved his tactical goal by surprise, and then completed the entire strategy.

Therefore, Song Ping simply fortified the wall and cleared the wilderness, outside the city, you Li Xinchen can toss as much as you want, I just need to hold one acre and three points of land in this Hezhou city. After all, it's not about supporting it for a few years, but it's about supporting it until the end of the year, which can still be supported.

As for the mountain cities and deer towns in the north and west of the city, Song Ping was not worried. He knew that Li Xinchen did not have many soldiers and horses, as long as those mountain cities were generally sticking to them, it would be difficult to give Li Xinchen a chance.

But when Li Xinchen broke through Song Ping's Jinyun Mountain camp as an outpost and the first line of defense, and Chen Bing Hezhou Prefecture ruled the city of Dianjiang County, Song Ping was still taken aback.

First, it was because Li Xinchen came too quickly and too suddenly. Although Song Ping didn't expect the Jinyun Mountain camp to last long, he also hoped that two or three of the thousands of soldiers there would come back alive to report to him. But it wasn't until Li Xinchen's soldiers and horses appeared under the city that Song Ping could imagine that Jinyun Mountain was already more auspicious.

The second is that Li Xinchen came quickly, but he didn't have any other strange moves, but began to attack the city step by step, as if he was planning to take the city by storming. This caught Song Ping a little off guard, these days he has been thinking about whether Li Xinchen will use the same way he attacked Ba County again, constantly consume his vital strength by encircling the point to send reinforcements and outflanking and attacking, and he is determined not to leave the city if he is killed.

As a result, who would have thought that Li Xinchen had no intention of playing these routines at all.

Looking at those soldiers standing tall, and looking at the figures of those people controlling the siege equipment as if no one was around, Song Ping's throat was dry for a while.

He made a lot of calculations, but after all, he didn't expect that Li Xinchen would attack Dianjiang County in the most dignified way.

It is true that the terrain of Hezhou is dangerous, but this dangerous terrain is not said to the city of Dianjiang County. Around Hezhou, Diaoyu Mountain, Jinyun Mountain and other places are well-known for being easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the main city of Dianjiang County is located on the river beach where the three rivers converge, a boxy city, how to talk about the danger?

Therefore, Song Ping was not afraid that Li Xinchen would use strange soldiers to calculate him, but he was afraid that Li Xinchen would really start to attack.

With the seven or eight hundred young men in the city, Song Ping didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to support himself until tomorrow.

Those young men were already shivering in the cold wind at this time, and they didn't know if it was because of the thin clothes on their bodies, or because these guys in the city exuded a strong killing intent all over their bodies.

These Nanchen soldiers who killed all the way from Zhangshan to Ba County can be regarded as soldiers of a hundred battles, how can these young men be able to deal with them?

The drumming sound suddenly sounded, breaking Song Ping's cranky thoughts.

"Thorn History, it's dangerous here, let's avoid it!" Dianjiang County Taishou's face was already pale, and his eyes kept sweeping around Song Ping, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Song Ping exhaled: "You can't retreat, you and I are standing here to set an example for the soldiers in the city and tell them that Shangguan is still insisting." As long as we can hold the city for a week, reinforcements should arrive. ”

Dianjiang County Taishou rolled his eyes, and the Lord Thorn in front of him seemed to be ready to martyrdom, or he was too naïve.

Reinforcements? Who to fool!

Although there are four or five hundred garrisons in each of the surrounding mountain towns, do these guys have the courage to go down the mountain to rescue? As for the state capital farther away, the number of defenders is also stretched, that is, there are more soldiers and horses in Shu County, but for so long, has Shu County ever transferred a soldier here?

And who is under this city?

Southern Chen Dangkou general Li Xinchen and Wuyi general Pei Zilie.

Nanchen Li Xinchen's reputation is not touted by the neighbors, but from Zhangshan to Ba County, from Zhang He to Wei Chi Yuan, just these Li Xinchen's defeated generals are not something that Song Ping can deal with, let alone dare to challenge a small county guard.

As for Pei Zilie, Wu Mingche and Xiao Maha, the two new and old Nanchen generals, will they be incompetent?

Just looking at the big battle set up by Li Xinchen under the city, the county guards of Dianjiang County were already trembling, and they didn't even know which leg they should take first when they walked.
