The sky has turned into dusk, and at the beginning of spring, there is no sunset like blood. Only those patches of fresh green that had just emerged slowly became enveloped in darkness again.
"Split wings! Cut off the Shu people's pursuing army!" Riding on his horse, Dong Wen kept giving orders angrily.
"Kill it!"
Over and over again, the encounter was so tragic that even Xu Mu, who was on the sand dune, felt his eyes tingle.
In order to keep these tens of thousands of Liangqi, Dou Tong led 10,000 Shuqi, taking advantage of the weakness of the Liang army's infantry and cavalry, and constantly harassed and attacked them.
On the empty sand, scattered along the road, were corpses. There were people from Shu, people from Liang, and half-dead war horses, huddled in the dust, neighing sadly.
"Why, come on!" Dong Wen was so crazy that he personally led his men to attack and stabbed a Shuzhou general on his back.
Even so, Dong Wen did not stop, roared and raised the gold-plated spear again, smashed the skull of the horseman, and then laughed wildly.
"Build thief, this is a bad move! There are only ten thousand Shuqi, can you stop me!"
"Kill, if Shuqi comes after you again, he will stab you to death!"
The night is getting colder, the wind is getting stronger, and the sand and dust on the ground are flying wildly into the night sky.
Xu Mu said nothing.
In the faint night, a pair of eyes became extremely deep.
…
At night, in front of Ling Juguan, a long procession of 50,000 men and horses was rapidly approaching the pass wall.
Click.
After breaking the head of a Liangzhou scout, Yu Wen rubbed his hands, silently raised his head, and glanced at the dark sky.
"General Yu, the Liangren scouts who came out of the pass, killed more than a hundred of them. In addition, there were also men left to ambush in all directions when returning to the pass."
"It's time. Pass on my military orders, check the arrow pots and long knives, set up ten city ladders for each battalion, march quickly, and stay at the pass for surprise attack!"
"Accept the general's order!"
…
Picking up the corpse of a Shu soldier, Dong Wen laughed ferociously in the night wind.
The Shuzhou hero who was provoked with a gun was still laughing even though he was coughing up blood.
"Shu Gou, why are you laughing?"
"Smiling at your mother... she gave birth to a child without eggs."
The body he picked up was thrown down hard by Dong Wen with a cold face, and no longer had any life left.
"Lord, at least half of the ten thousand Shu riders were killed or injured. Why are these Shu people still dragging them away!" There was a hint of panic on Li Mi's face.
Listening, Dong Wen also frowned. Not long after, he turned his head sharply and looked in the direction of Ling Juguan.
"Li Mi, the scout at Lingju Pass, how long has it been since you came to report?"
"It's been seven whistles, nearly two hours."
"Something is wrong." Dong Wen gritted his teeth, "Li Mi, have you noticed? I always feel that the commoner thieves are not just trying to hold back my Liangzhou Cavalry Camp."
"Li Mi, what do you think if we leave a broken army behind?"
Li Mi became silent again. He did not dare to make rash judgments on this kind of matter.
"Damn it, if you were half as good as Sima Xiu, why would I do this!"
"Send the order, the cavalry camp should stop the pursuit and gather the formation first!"
Under the wind and sand, countless Liangqi rushed back from the flat terrain to join the main camp army. Just waiting for Dong Wen to issue the next combat order.
"Bring the injured back!"
On the other side, there were at least a thousand seriously injured Shu soldiers. Under the first aid of military doctors, they were constantly applying ointment to stop the bleeding.
"My belly, my belly is punctured. Someone come and stuff the intestines back in." An old military doctor cried out.
"Whether it can be saved or not, according to what Dr. Chen said, you must do your best. The master will be rejuvenated and miracles will happen."
Broken spears, torn robes and armor, dying wounded... each of them foreshadows the cruelty of war.
In this world, even if there are ever-victorious generals, their reputation of being victorious in every battle is only due to mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Xu Mu remained silent for a long time.
Jia Zhou, standing next to Xu Mu, stared at the darkness in the distance.
"My lord, this world is going to change. Many people will die, but at the same time, more people will survive."
"One general succeeds, and all bones wither."
Xu Mu raised his head and his voice became calmer.
"According to this king's order, night has arrived, and the Shu troops on all sides are beginning to slaughter the dogs!"
"Signal arrow, shoot it up for me!"
hold head high--
Not long after, a sharp owl sound exploded in mid-air. The glow in the darkness reflected Xu Mu's face.
Also on the sand dunes, Wei Xiaowu had dozens of torches lit, lighting up the area.
"Qiying, attack word order!"
The banner with the character "Xu" fluttering in the wind was waved down heavily.
"kill--"
Not long after, thundering shouts of fighting rang out from all directions in Shelangqiu. There was the sound of horses' hooves, the clang of swords and shields, old soldiers shouting angrily, and new recruits shouting.
As if he had been holding it in for too long, the sound of killing suddenly echoed through the sky.
"Lord, there are Shu people everywhere!" Li Mi tightened the reins and said in a shocked tone, "Why didn't these Shu people come out before?"
"The civilian thieves and the poisonous osprey are setting up a killing spree! Shoot the wolf hill, shoot the wolf hill. You really think that I, Dong Wen, am a little sand wolf!"
"There are fires on all sides. Damn it, how come there are so many Shu troops!" When he was nervous, Li Mi's voice was trembling.
Dong Wen looked around and found that the road back to Lingju Pass was already lined with torches, winding like a long snake.
"My lord, that strange formation of the Shu people started to hitch their horses again and push the cart over!"
"There are heavy crossbows and bows hidden in that strange formation. If we get closer again, I'm afraid a disaster will happen!"
"You are just like a mediocre general. Stop talking about it." Dong Wen turned back coldly and glared at Li Mi.
"Stop talking and let me think."
Li Mi nodded and became silent again.
Unfortunately, before Dong Wen could come up with an idea, just a moment later, there were waves of flying arrows falling down from nowhere.
Before receiving the order to raise their shields, a group of Liangzhou infantry on the side died hastily on the spot.
"Go to the dark place to the west!"
As soon as the sky darkened, the charge lost its vision, and it no longer had the majesty of the previous pursuit of Shuqi. Haohao's more than 30,000 Liangqi could only follow Dong Wen, avoiding the winding snakes and torches, and chose a direction to escape from the encirclement.
But they never thought that after rushing out for less than a few miles, another Shu army suddenly came out of the darkness to the west. Without any firelight or omen, in the darkness, an airtight rain of arrows would be shot.
One by one, the soldiers screamed pitifully in the rain of arrows.
Dong Wen also wanted to rely on Liang Qi and kill him directly, but when he looked back, he found that many hurried Liang soldiers ignored military orders and turned around and ran away.
"Damn it, don't panic!"
…
"Under common sense, Dong Wenhui thought that where there were torch lights, it was our Shuzhou besieging army, charging with torches. But in fact, he guessed wrong."
Xu Mu clenched his fists, his voice neither sad nor happy.
"The real killing scene is in the dark."
"I, Xu Mu, will kill this Liangzhou wolf, lead the three armies, and establish hegemony!"
