The rules of war should be square, this is a truth that everyone understands.

Blindly rushing does not necessarily lead to victory, and the old crow mountain camp in front of you is obviously very good at proving this truth, no matter who is present, no one wants to be the first victim to be hit on the head and bleeding since entering Shu.

Looking at the generals under his command who suddenly looked solemn, Li Xinchen couldn't help but shake his head. It is a good thing that these guys realize the difficulties ahead, but Li Xinchen doesn't want to let the army be frustrated like this, so he said lightly at the moment:

"Raven Mountain is certainly steep, so can't it really be conquered?"

Chen Zhishen, Cao Zhong and the others subconsciously glanced at each other, and Li Xinchen stretched out his hand and pointed on the map: "You see, there are many mountains outside Ba County, if the enemy sets up a camp on every mountain, then we are really unable to move forward?" ”

Xiao Shilian raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Xinchen, and Lu Zhiwu couldn't help but speak:

"General, we all understand this truth, but as General Chen said, the naval division is our greatest advantage, if we give up the naval division, we really don't need to take Lao Yashan Mountain, we can completely bypass it from the north side or the south bank of the river, but in this case, it may be more difficult for us to attack Ba County, and the war will be stalemate, and it will change over time. Therefore, the last general felt that this old crow mountain still had to be fought. ”

"General Lu's words are sloppy," Cao Zhong couldn't help but retort, "What if Old Crow Mountain can't be defeated?" What if our army suffers heavy losses at Raven Mountain? ”

Lu Zhiwu said dissatisfiedly: "Then what does General Cao mean, let's not fight?" ”

"Of course we have to fight, but we can't fight indiscriminately," Cao Zhong said in a deep voice, "We might as well divide our troops into two ways, all the way to feint on Lao Ya Mountain, and all the way to Ba County." ”

And Chen Zhishen couldn't help but speak at this time: "This is certainly a good way, but if we attack Lao Ya Mountain with too few troops, not only will we not be able to take Lao Ya Mountain, but it will be easy to expose the side of the main force to the enemy army in Lao Ya Mountain, and if we have too many troops, this Ba County may not be able to take it."

After a pause, Chen Zhishen frowned even more: "And our siege equipment mainly has to be transported through the sailors' ships, if we can't take Lao Ya Mountain as soon as possible, this siege equipment can't be transported, but it will increase variables."

Having said this, everyone subconsciously turned their eyes to Li Xinchen. Obviously, they have a big disagreement now, so in the end, they have to wait for Li Xinchen to come to an accurate conclusion.

Stretching out his hand on the map, Li Xinchen smiled and said: "In the final analysis, Lao Yashan and Ba County are two nails that are difficult to pull out, no matter where we concentrate on fighting, we may suffer too many casualties, and no matter where we divide our troops, we may achieve nothing, so we simply don't use these two methods, and change the way of fighting." ”

"Shizhong, what do you mean by that?" Xiao Shilian frowned, the methods he could think of were actually none other than the two proposed by Chen Zhishen, but as Li Xinchen said, every method has weaknesses, and what they need now is absolute victory, so there is no way to guarantee that this weakness will not be exploited by the enemy.

In particular, the first to send troops to Lao Yashan to control one of the throats on this big river, which shows that the generals in the city still have some ability.

Li Xinchen's expression became solemn: "It is true that these two places have to be fought and they are not easy to fight, but you must not forget that the earth is dead, and people are alive." What we have to do is not to mess ourselves up, but to mess up the enemy. ”

His eyes swept over Xiao Shilian and the others, and Li Xinchen sighed with emotion: "From Ba County to the first line of Linjiang County, there are many dangers, compared to Lao Ya Mountain, the mountains closer to the first line of Linjiang are obviously more dangerous, and the enemy did not go forward to test, but only stationed in Lao Ya Mountain, which shows that the enemy's main general is not as strong as imagined, and even a little conservative." ”

After a pause, Li Xinchen then said: "Conservative, what we fight is conservative, and the generals will obey the order!" ”

"The last general!" Xiao Shilian and the others all beat a spirit.

This battle is about to begin!

Cheng Feng, the Taishou of Fuling County and the Governor of Tuntian, stared wide-eyed at the basin surrounded by hills in front of him, the food in this small basin was the result of his hard work for several years, but now he might have to give up.

Fuling is called Fuling, but the county is in Hanping County instead of Fuling County, because it is located in the southeast of Ba County, far away from the river, so it can not play the role of covering Ba County, from here to set up the county governance, one is to deal with the situation that the Han people went south at that time, and the county governance was set up in the mountains further south, so as to encourage the people to go south to open up the land; Second, it is naturally to beware of the Ba people who haunt the mountains in the south.

But now the enemy that Cheng Feng has to face is not from the south, but from the north.

The three counties of Linjiang changed hands within three days, and the entire Ba County was shaken, and the Ba County's request for help and exploration horses rushed to the various county governments of Bashu separately, but it was a pity that Cheng Feng could not do anything except clear the field and hold on to the helplessness.

Because he only has four or five hundred Tuntian pawns under his command, the so-called Tuntian pawns are synonymous with the old, weak, sick and disabled and captives, and Bashu has not fought for many years, so the possibility of captives can be removed.

Therefore, in addition to mobilizing Ding Zhuang in the city, Cheng Feng could only hope that the enemy would not come to disturb him. After all, no matter what you say, attacking Ba County directly along the river will not affect Fuling County, so Cheng Feng can sit at the head of the city and watch the clouds disappear.

"Taishou, this piece of land that we have worked so hard to reclaim is really on fire?" An old soldier looked at the basin in front of him distressedly, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Under the leadership of Cheng Feng, these tuntian soldiers cultivated in the mountain basins around Fuling County, and finally planted some grain, but before it was ripe, they were now burned down, and everyone was distressed.

"That's right, Taishou, our Fuling County is in the mountains, even if the enemy wants to attack Ba County, he will definitely not attack us first, so why don't you keep this grain?" Another old pawn couldn't help but say that they were all veterans of Tuntian, and Ping Su was quite familiar with this approachable Taishou, so he spoke more directly.

Cheng Feng frowned, of course he didn't want to burn grain, but whether the enemy came or not was really not up to him in Fuling County, it was Li Xinchen who commanded the army on the other side, this young general who rose like a comet has always used treacherous troops, and it can be seen from this lightning raid on the three counties of Linjiang, so it is not so easy to figure out his thoughts?

Cheng Feng, who has been in this big mountain col for at least half his life, feels that he has no ability.

And how he doesn't know the thoughts of these old soldiers, they are all a group of abandoned sons of the imperial court, and they don't actually care about who the food is given to in the end.
