In Shuzhou, Jia Zhou, who also received the letter, stood silently in front of the palace, looking at the green mountains outside Chengdu.
"Gou Fu, what would happen if there was another general?"
Next to Jia Zhou, puppy Fu raised his face with an increasingly steady expression.
"If it were General Chen Zhong, he would not be able to get out. If it were General Chao Yi, he would not use his body as bait even if he left the city. But... he is Lu Xiu. He has been guarding Beiguan for too long, General Lu Xiu understands , the disaster caused by the Hu people is no different than the pain of cutting their skin to the people of Dingzhou. Therefore, he sacrificed his life to bring the Hu people and the Hebei army into trouble. "
The puppy Fu raised his head with tears in his eyes. When he grew up, he gradually understood the justice of his family and country. I understand better that whether it is my teacher, my boss, or even Brother Tiger, many soldiers of Xishu have such obsession with peace in the world and creating a new dynasty.
"Teacher, why don't you let me leave Shu and help my lord?"
Jia Zhou hesitated for a moment and shook his head, "Work hard for another year or two, and then come out of the mountain when you are old enough to let your hair down."
"I have asked Chai Zong to set off, and we will be able to reach Dingbeiguan in a short time. Lu Xiu did not hesitate to use his body as a bait. After all, he was helping the Central Plains and blocking Taishu Wang's plan."
"Congratulations General Lu."
Jia Zhou and puppy Fu both held their hands and bowed to the sky.
…
Outside Dingzhou, in the endless wilderness, a tired army was marching into the depths of the wilderness.
"Mr. Taishu, what should we do now?" Gai Gong looked anxious while riding his horse. If we continue to retreat like this, there will be no need to fight this battle. The surprise attack on Dingbeiguan by the coalition forces was like a joke.
"Retreat first." Taishu Wang spoke concisely and concisely, with a haggard look in his eyes.
"Mr. Taishu, go back to the depths of the wilderness, we will be cornered!"
"Then what do you want? Do you want to continue to attack the key point?" Taishu Wang turned his head and gritted his teeth, "The king of Yuzhou's army of more than 100,000 soldiers is stationed at the border of Dingzhou. If they retreat too late, they will definitely fall into a situation of being flanked. . The army has to retreat temporarily because it is forced to do so. Once the military situation is stabilized, I will think of good strategies to help the army get out of trouble and find a way out. "
After hearing the explanation, Gai Gong remained silent for a long time.
"The great advantage has turned out like this. If I had known this, I, the Hu tribe, would not have joined the coalition."
Taishu Wang had a cold face and did not refute after all. What he has to do now is to break the situation. Otherwise, their food and grass will be exhausted, their morale will be completely shattered, and what awaits them will be a massacre by the Yuzhou Army.
"The Tiger of Dingzhou, he has already reached this point. If this person is still alive, he is really a formidable enemy."
"Don't worry, Mr. Taishu. When he returns to the tribe, I will make his skull into a wine cup! My husband also said before that if Lu Xiu dies, it will destroy the morale of Dingbeiguan."
Taishu Wang showed a faint smile, "That was before. Now the news of Lu Xiu's death has spread, and there are generals stationed at Dingbeiguan. These defenders will probably turn into angry mourning soldiers."
After saying this, the conspirator, who had just been out of the army for less than a year, closed his eyes with some bitterness. This game was a complete loss.
"Military advisor, something bad has happened! That Chao Yi led his army to catch up again! Along the way, many Hu tribes were burned."
"Damn it." Uncle Tai looked at him with a cold face.
Since the withdrawal of the army, Chao Yi, the wolf tribe, has been biting them like a mad dog. Relying on the cavalry's maneuvers, as long as the rear army is slower, a wave of killings will immediately follow.
Of course, he tried asking the Hu cavalry to block it, but found that he couldn't block it at all. Those Shu riders who came out of the city saw the barbarians and started fighting like crazy.
"Array up!" Before the uncle could open his mouth, Gai Gong was already furious. Along the way, we were almost chasing him into the depths of the wilderness, and we were still chasing him.
"I, a member of the Hu tribe, can be considered a fierce army. How can we bear to bully each other like this! Even the tiger of Dingzhou was beheaded by me. I can also kill this wolf general!"
"Okay, your majesty is so heroic." Uncle Wang squinted his eyes and clasped his fists, watching the more than 20,000 barbarian cavalry leave.
"Send the order and continue marching."
Just waiting for the Hu cavalry camp to go away, Taishu Wang did not stay any longer and ordered the Hebei coalition forces to continue marching deep into the wilderness.
"Quan should be the one to cut off the rear army. This wolf clan Chao Yi, as the rumors say, is really courageous."
…
Gai Gong was furious, but he didn't know that Taishu Wang had plotted against him. He led more than 20,000 Hu cavalry to intercept them in a roundabout way.
"Your Majesty, I am no more than a thousand Shu riders."
Gai Gong gritted his teeth and said, "You shouldn't have listened to Uncle Wang and intercepted it early. How come so many of our Hu tribe were burned down?"
"First kill the tigers of Dingzhou, and then kill the wolf generals of Xishu. Our tribe of barbarians will fully show the power of the world's great army."
Behind Gai Gong, more than 20,000 Hu cavalry troops finally gained courage and began to raise their scimitars. Following Gai Gong's orders, they roared forward and charged forward.
In the wilderness, the thunderous sound of horse hooves stirred up waves of dust, and the whole land seemed to be shaking.
In front of the Shu cavalry, a young Xishu general showed no fear on his face. Facing the swirling dust smoke and thunderous horse hooves, he coldly raised the long knife in his hand.
"Shu Qi, fight!"
After capturing the three states of Liangdi, the cavalry of Western Shu has been greatly improved and has become a large cavalry force.
From the armor to the spear in his hand, they are all elite equipment.
"Ping gun!"
"There is a report from the outpost, but there are only more than 20,000 cavalry, Xishu cavalry, crush them! After this, we will avenge General Lu Xiu!"
Hearing the name of the Tiger of Dingzhou, many Shu riders had strong murderous intent in their eyes. Just as Tai Shuwang said, they have now become an angry mourning army.
"Rush over!"
"kill!"
"Shoot an arrow!" Gai Gong raised his whip and roared angrily.
Horse arrows all over the sky fell overwhelmingly on the Shu cavalry formation. However, it failed to stop Shu Qi's charging murderous intent. After two to three hundred corpses fell, Shu Qi's rushing over became even more murderous.
With more than 20,000 barbarians so close at hand, there was no longer any possibility of long-range shooting, so they had to change their scimitars and charge forward.
Thick smoke filled the sky, and the two groups of people in the sky and the earth quickly collided together.
Click.
Chao Yi raised his sword and slashed furiously. In the overwhelming fury, he directly smashed the fastest charging Hu chief, including his felt helmet. The body fell into the dust and smoke, and was trampled into meat by the horse's hooves from behind. .
"Punch through in a roundabout way! Raise your spear and charge with the platoon!"
"Keep killing!"
While the two armies were fighting each other, each suffered casualties. But at this time, those Shu cavalry were clearly determined to fight to the death, and many of the Hu soldiers' faces showed waves of fear.
They have never heard of a saying in the Central Plains: When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win.
…
Uncle Tai, who had been marching forward, turned his head silently in the afterglow of the setting sun and looked at the billowing dust and smoke behind him.
Even if they intercepted the pursuing Shuqi, it would be meaningless. Nowadays, the most important thing is to stabilize the entire military situation.
"The barbarians stalled for time...hiding two battalions of men and horses and setting up a horse trap. If the Shu cavalry continues to pursue, they will start a counterattack."
After he finished speaking, Taishu looked at him with a hint of fatigue in his eyes.
"The Beidi army was defeated, and our Hebei army was also defeated. How many talented people and strangers are hidden in this huge Central Plains!"
