"kill--"
"Roar!"
To the east of the river bank, Xu Mu and Yuan Song's troops finally met together. At this time, in order to break through the defense line along the river bank, they had no choice but to find a way forward.
You know, south of Chenshuiguan, almost all the Dongling Army's rear areas have already set up many patrol posts and secret camps. Fortunately, since there has been no fighting in the south for a long time, there are not too many Dongling troops in secret camps.
Click.
Si Hu, who was wearing thick armor, rode alone, like a ferocious tiger, wielding a giant ax and killing three times in and three out, until finally, he provoked the general in the secret camp and fell heavily to the ground.
"King Donglai, we are already in the third battalion." Xu Mu said with a calm expression. It won't be long before news of the enemy attack from the south will soon reach Zuo Shiren.
Next to Xu Mu, Yuan Song, who was not convinced by his old age, was also wearing battle armor and holding a bow and sword in his hand.
"The King of Shu has great ideas."
"May I ask King Donglai, how many horses are there in the army?"
"Less than three thousand, the King of Shu also knows that I, Donglai, do not produce horses. These three thousand horses are still pieced together here and there."
"There are more than a thousand cavalry in our army. King Donglai, can you lend me all the three thousand cavalry camps?"
Yuan Song did not hesitate and laughed, "I have heard about King Shu's riding skills for a long time. If you need it, you can take it!"
"Okay!" Xu Mu smiled.
Under such circumstances, it would take too much time to follow the rules and fight in front of Zuo Shiren. If we organize a cavalry camp and block it first, there may not be any miraculous results.
Furthermore, the closer you get to the Kezhou River bank, the less dense forests there will be. At most, there will be some swamps, but they won’t be too much of a hindrance to the horses’ hooves.
"King Donglai, I will intercept them first, and you will march behind. I estimate that it will take about two hours to catch up with Zuo Shiren's army."
"King Shu... I heard that Zuo Shiren set off early this morning. No matter how you look at it, we are a bit slow after all."
Xu Mu smiled and said, "I received information just now that Zuo Shiren is currently accumulating a reputation for benevolence."
"He's always been like this." Yuan Song narrowed his eyes, as if he had guessed something.
"Then, I'll wait for the vanguard to split into two groups. Don't worry, King Shu. I'll be here at the back and will catch up soon."
"Very good."
…
With a cavalry camp of more than 4,000 people, they ran on the official road south of Kezhou. Along the way, there were many secret camps or reconnaissance camps in Dongling. Those who dared to stand in their way were scattered by the cavalry formation.
In particular, Si Hu, who was in the vanguard, rode a tall horse, wore thick armor, and swung an ax as if he was the god of death in hell. The timid ones were so shocked when they saw it that they quickly avoided it.
"Brother Mu, where is my dog Fu?" After killing for a while, Si Hu remembered something and hurriedly asked.
"Gou Fu and Long Bow both have things to do. This round, you follow me first."
If Si Hu did not follow the cavalry camp of more than 4,000 people, Xu Mu felt that its power would be reduced by at least 30%. My monster brother has always been a big killer on the battlefield.
"Brother Mu, there's someone blocking the way again!"
Just as Xu Mu was thinking, Leng Buding heard Si Hu's words and looked up, encountering another reconnaissance battalion. Xu Mu understood that as time went by, I was afraid that the raid would no longer be able to be concealed.
…
"I, Zuo Shiren, have only one long-cherished wish in this life, and that is for peace in the world and happiness for all people." Zuo Shiren, who had dismounted his horse, was smiling and raising his head to comfort the thousands of refugees in front of him.
Of course, being careful, he didn't get too close.
"In this way, you will wait on the river bank first. Once the river boat is available, we will take you across the river and enter Dongling."
Zuo Shiren also discovered that what he said today was indeed a bit too much. Furthermore, the Wuzhou rebellion suddenly came to mind.
"Lord, it's time to leave." Shen Bu, the commander of the personal guards, came over and reminded him for the eighth time.
Zuo Shiren frowned and looked at the sky, unconsciously, as if he had spent a while. Of course, during this period of time, he was satisfied. At least, these fleeing people really regarded him as their savior.
"Let's go."
The commander of the personal guards nodded, then turned back abruptly and glanced at the "refugees" not far away.
In the "refugee group", Shangguan Shu's face became anxious at this time. While looking at Zuo Shiren who was about to leave, he couldn't help but look at the long official road in the distance.
He understood that in the name of benevolence, Zuo Shiren had been delayed for too long. If I use it again, I'm afraid it won't work.
"Everyone, I, Zuo Shiren, will go first."
After getting on the horse, Zuo Shiren put on a gentle smile and did not forget to show off. But just after he finished speaking, Zuo Shiren's eyes suddenly paused.
He saw dozens of sentries in front, covered in blood, running back in a hurry. His face was full of anxiety.
"Lord, the Shu people are attacking, the Shu people are attacking—"
Zuo Shiren was horrified, "There are many secret camps and scout posts set up on the river bank in the south."
"My lord, the Shu people are all riding troops, they are extremely fast and they have already come all the way!"
Zuo Shiren opened his eyes, his face full of disbelief. Since there is no large-scale cavalry camp in Donglai, he has always been reassured about the land to the south.
…
Shangguan Shu looked calm, raised his head, and observed the situation ahead. He understood that his chief helmsman was already coming along the way. But at this time, if Zuo Shiren marched urgently, there was still a high possibility that he could rush back to the dock quickly.
"Everyone, can you see clearly? The Dongling Army in front has not formed a long snake formation to march. This is the opportunity we have been waiting for."
"As long as we hold on for a while, the chief helmsman in the east will arrive soon."
"White clothes and white armor, if you dare to kill people, there will be no peace in the world."
After Xu Mu became the chief helmsman, he had given strict orders for the Xiaer Rebel Army to also fight in armor. For this reason, many white clothes and thin armor were specially made.
"Kill!" Shangguan Shu tore off the ragged robe on his body, revealing the dazzling white robe and armor in the sun. So are many people around him.
Only some real refugees fled in all directions after being confused for a long time.
"kill--"
Shangguan Shu raised his two swords, took the lead with his Qinggong, and swept forward. Behind him, many Qinggong heroes also followed the movement and charged forward with swords in hand.
"The sun...the sun is so fierce!" Zuo Shiren saw the situation clearly and almost choked to death.
"Stop them!" Several Dongling generals remained calm in the face of danger and quickly organized their troops to form a military formation.
Zuo Shiren had a cold face, gritted his teeth, and retreated into the military formation. If in the future, others talk about what happened today, it will probably be a shameful scandal.
Damn you, you talk about benevolence and righteousness. Zuo Shiren cursed secretly in his heart. If he had known this, he would have marched all the way, and maybe he would have been on the river by now.
It was unexpectedly delayed for three or four hours.
"Kill them, leave no one behind." Zuo Shiren ordered in a deep voice.
"Fiya——"
Although there were more than 20,000 Dongling troops, most of them were unable to form a military formation due to the chaos. But at this time, the elite Dongling Infantry and Bow Battalion had already followed General Pi's order and raised their iron bows.
"shoot!"
One by one, the heroes were shot dead before they could even reach the Dongling Army.
"Step on the whale!" Shangguan Shu held two swords in his hands and led more than a hundred warriors with high kung fu skills to the Dongling Square Formation. He kept stepping on the helmets of the enemy soldiers with his tiptoes.
"Julang——"
"Roar!"
In the dazzling sunlight, more than a hundred knights thrust out their long swords. In the blink of an eye, dozens of Dongling soldiers fell to the ground with a "bang bang bang" as if they were rolled down by a huge wave.
But as soon as the sword was withdrawn, a knight was picked up by several spears, turned into a bloody body, and thrown heavily to the ground.
"kill!"
…
