"Let the rolling logs go!" On the hillside, a Donglai man's general kept ordering people to shoot signals.
After cutting off the rope hooks, the stacks of rolling logs that had been cut down earlier rumbled towards the ground along the inclined angle.
Unfortunately, it didn't cause much damage. The thick-armored battalion exploring the road stood firmly with a large tiger shield, blocking the rolling logs.
"Beware of enemy fire attacks, move the wooden barriers!" Ling Su looked around, his face frighteningly cold. Under his command, the wood that rolled down was quickly lifted aside.
The standby continued forward and entered the shooting range. The Donglai Army's flying arrows were thrown down one after another. At the same time, in Dongling's marching formation, the infantry archers one after another, not to be outdone, also fired arrows to both sides.
As soon as the two sides came face to face, in the blink of an eye, they each suffered nearly a thousand casualties.
"There is no plan to attack the enemy. It's just Xu Buyi's treacherous strategy. It's a pity that King Zuo was fooled." Ling Su gritted his teeth. Of course, he also understood that under that situation and the fire in the backyard, it was normal for Zuo Shiren, as the king of Donglai, to come back for reinforcements.
It can only be said that the enemy's methods are too despicable.
The thick armor battalion continued to move forward, covering the military formation behind them, and marched forward step by step.
At this moment, the thick-armored battalion of at least two to three hundred people all let out a startled roar. When I took a closer look, I realized that at some point, there was a huge horse trap on the official road ahead.
The horse pit was full of sharpened wooden tools. Even if the thick-armored camp fell down, many people were stabbed and coughed up blood and died.
Ling Su's expression remained unchanged. He had expected such a trap.
"No chaos, no chaos!" One by one, the generals began to stabilize the marching troops.
"Military advisor, look -"
Ling Su said calmly, "They are just traps. After these traps are broken, the tricks of the Donglai people will no longer be worth mentioning."
These words are nothing less than encouragement. The generals who followed him all looked happy.
"Keep marching, Wu Ling Qide, there are plenty of ways for soldiers to stop us."
…
At this time, on a high slope, the armored Shen Tuguan looked expressionlessly at the battle below. He never expected those so-called traps to cause much harm to Ling Su's men.
The other party is not a mediocre person.
He was just testing whether it was the Dongling Army's final plan to move north. Today, there are only more than 40,000 people in the entire front line to win the Tu Guan.
The two sides are almost evenly matched.
But there is a change. This place is not far from Chenshui Pass. There are still a group of defenders in Chenshui Pass. Coupled with the enemy's home field advantage, Shen Tuguan would not want to fight a life-or-death battle if the time came.
Although the ancient formations are powerful, they will eventually become useless.
"General Shentu, the Dongling people are continuing to march in the north direction. There are not many traps waiting for us over there." The scout who passed on the information hurried up the slope.
"A roundabout way?" Shen Tuguan frowned.
If it had been another general, out of concern for the safety of the three states of Donglai, he would have been unable to resist and rush out with his troops to fight.
But Shen Tuguan did not. In the night, he seemed to have figured out something and smiled.
"You are worthy of the name Yinlin."
"General Shentu, what does this mean..."
"Nothing else, Ling Su is luring me into the battle. Logically speaking, he leads his troops out of the city. As the attacker, I should fight quickly. But in this case, I will fall into Ling Su's ambush. I apply for Tu Guan , I like to study formations most in my life. Although Lingsu's layout is very secretive, in fact, if the two armies are close, then the Dongling troops guarding the flanks will become abandoned. When Lingsu changes The direction will completely turn into an army ready to die."
"After cutting off the restraint of the rear army, Ling Su can take the remaining troops and leave quickly."
"General Shentu... He left these nearly ten thousand people on his flank just to escape?"
"It's not about escaping. His goal is huge. It's to attack the three states of Donglai."
Shen Tu Guan exhaled, a look of determination on his face. As a general, if you don't have such courage, it is better to be a small captain in front of the account.
"Here's my military order. There's no need to stop him. If he wants to march north, let him go."
"General, if you take a roundabout way to the north, you will not be far from Donglai."
"What's the matter." Shen Tuguan sneered, "He dares to go north. In three days, I will attack Chen Shuiguan. By then, not only the besieged Zuo Shiren, but also Lingsu himself will be trapped in the quagmire inside. Don’t forget that there is a King of Yuzhou in the north direction. This King of Yuzhou is the person who hates the power of the King of Grain the most. I only need to write a letter, and the King of Yuzhou will think about it. Even if Even if we don’t send troops, we still need to give them a good scare.”
"You want me to fight, but I won't." Shen Tuguan closed his eyes. "The worst case is, let him capture a few Donglai counties, but by then, his troops will become a lone army."
"The best way to cope with all changes is to remain unchanged."
…
"Military advisor, the spies reported that there is no Donglai army ahead!" A general came over happily.
Unexpectedly, Ling Su in front of him turned even colder after hearing the news.
There is no Donglai army, which means that Shentu Guan has no intention of fighting to the death. Damn it, even though he was the defender and was lured out of the city, why could Shen Tu Guan be so calm?
"Military advisor, what a great opportunity! I can't wait long. After passing the official road in front, I can take a detour in the direction of Donglai."
Ling Su raised his head, his eyes looking as cunning as a wolf in the night.
What he wanted was for Shen Tu Guan to lead his army to intercept and fight quickly, so that he could completely hold back this group of troops. I never thought that Shen Tu Guan, a bitch, was really too stable.
Unable to contain the large army, if we go further, we will become a lone army even if we reach Dongnai. Furthermore, to the north, there is another King of Yuzhou.
"Don't be confused." Ling Su's eyes flashed.
"After sending out scouts to investigate, if there are no problems, the rear army will become the front army and retreat to the vicinity of Chenshui Pass!"
This order made the generals next to him look stunned.
A war is imminent and sending troops out and then retreating will inevitably affect morale.
Ling Su remained silent. After changing the formation, he confirmed the situation nearby and then continued to give orders in a calm voice.
"Ye Du, take your eight thousand troops and march to the east."
"Qi Fu, you also lead the main army of ten thousand people and march to the southeast."
"Li Le, you will also march to the northeast with your seven thousand troops."
"A total of 25,000 people, divided into three groups, invaded Donglai!"
…
"The army has been divided." On the high slope, Shen Tuguan rubbed his forehead, thinking hard about Ling Su's purpose of dividing the army.
Undoubtedly, when the enemy is numerous and we are outnumbered, dividing our troops is indeed the most helpless tactic. Moreover, the ancient formation that he is famous for cannot be mobilized at all once the number of people is small.
This Yinlin is not simple.
