It is said that the troops are divided into three groups, but in fact, including Ling Su's own troops, it is already a four-group army.
"What I want is very simple." Ling Su raised his head and looked at the night ahead, "Shen Tu Guan boasts that the ancient formation is unparalleled. If he follows me and divides his troops to defend, then his ancient formation will not pose much of a threat. .”
"Our troops will immediately return to the Chenshui Pass area. If Shen Tu Guan is brave enough, we will come over to attack this problem!"
"Leader's order!"
It has to be said that although Ling Su's move was extremely risky, it ultimately put the steady Shen Tu Guan into a difficult situation. It is impossible to ignore the three men who went to Donglai.
But if the troops are divided, for Donglai sergeant who is good at formations, the number of people will be divided, and they will inevitably be inferior.
"General, if these people are allowed to enter Donglai, the consequences will be disastrous."
Shen Tu Guan's expression was still calm.
"Of course I know. But have you noticed that although it is a clever trick, in fact, Ling Su is already in a hurry to rescue Zuo Shiren."
"Mo Li, let them go." Shen Tuguan's eyes were clear, "As long as it doesn't touch Donglai's bottom line, then neither the lord nor I can bear it."
"Pass an order, the entire army must not move and camp in place. In addition, the number of patrols will be stepped up."
Shen Tu Guan's response made Ling Su confused for a moment. As a general, he did not prioritize defending the territory. What on earth did Shen Tu Guan want to do?
Copying behind? If it is copied from behind, it doesn't mean much. You must know that this is just a division of troops. Most of the troops are still in the Chenshui Pass area. If Shen Tuguan dares to outflank him from behind, he will send a large army to respond, fearing that the Donglai Army will be completely dead.
"Military advisor, the Donglai people have set up camp."
"Understood."
There was no fight tonight, which made Ling Su a little dissatisfied. If time delays further, it will be even more disadvantageous for Dongling.
"Organize the dead soldiers to steal the camp and don't give the Donglai people a chance to breathe."
…
For a time, the war seemed to be in a stalemate in front of Chenshui Pass. But more than a hundred miles south, at this time, Zuo Shiren only had more than 10,000 men left.
Xu Buyi stopped talking.
The most terrifying thing is that Yuan Song. This time, he vowed to kill him here and kept sending out large armies to attack. Seeing that the entire formation was on the verge of collapse.
No longer as elegant as before, Zuo Shiren at this moment put his long sword on the ground, glanced at the bloody scene around him, and couldn't help but let out a breath of air.
He regretted it so much, he should have listened to Ling Su long ago.
"Why haven't you heard back from the scouts you sent out?" Zuo Shiren turned his head and looked at a general beside him. If this continues, within a day or two at most, when the formation is broken, they and the others will undoubtedly die.
It's obviously not far from the dock. However, none of the people sent out were heard from.
"Lord, we have been sending people out. I can't tell, it's Xu Buyi's people who are intercepting and killing the scouts."
Zuo Shiren closed his eyes in pain and kept making calculations in his heart.
Not only the people at the dock, but according to common sense, the people at Chen Shuiguan should also be aware of it. But similarly, no reinforcements came.
"Lord, the enemy troops are coming again!"
Zuo Shiren opened his eyes and looked up, and found that in front of him, Yuan Song had assembled an array again. After a while, he threw waves of fire arrows down.
"block!"
The large shields were raised, blocking most of the falling fire arrows. Even if some fires were started in the remaining small parts, they were quickly extinguished.
Zuo Shiren looked at the scattered sparks and suddenly seemed to have figured out something.
"Is there a beacon tower nearby?"
"My lord, we have searched everything. The nearest Wolf Smoke Tower is at least ten miles away."
Zuo Shiren gritted his teeth and said, "I can't care anymore. Send someone immediately to collect some dry firewood. After dark, light fires in ten places, then spread them with half-wet grass and let thick smoke rise."
"Over at the dock, if we can see it, we will come to rescue. It's a pity that we can't use the beacon tower."
Under Zuo Shiren's order, two to three hundred soldiers soon began to collect dry firewood and dry grass around the formation. Just wait until it gets dark and then act as a signal for the smoke.
"Xu Buyi's plan is really cruel. And Yuan Song is like a villain who has his way. He wants to destroy me Dongling immediately!"
Even though his tone was still calm, Zuo Shiren was already filled with hatred deep in his heart.
…
In front of the Dongling Formation.
Xu Mu's eyes were staring steadily ahead. This round, things were a little unexpected. He did not expect that Zuo Shiren's elite troops would be so tenacious. Under the continuous charge, it was quite invincible.
Zuo Shiren couldn't afford it, and the Western Shu Allied Forces couldn't afford it either. Even if the most secure arrangements are made, as the saying goes, if there is a problem with one of the moves, the advantage of the entire game will be completely reversed.
"My lord, the people from King Yuan's side have returned again."
Xu Mu nodded. Killing Zuo Shiren has always been Yuan Song's long-cherished wish. For this reason, at this time, Yuan Song would attack regardless.
However, this Dongling army was well equipped and was not defeated. For an unknown number of times, Yuan Song's men and horses kept changing their reserve battalions and tried to break away from the enemy's formation, but failed.
"It's getting dark again."
Unconsciously, another day passed. From the beginning to now, it has been nearly two days to besiege Zuo Shiren. If there were no reinforcements from Dongling, according to Xu Mu's estimate, Zuo Shiren's exhausted army would be defeated in at most one day.
"Lord, look, what is that?"
Xu Mu was startled, then raised his head, and suddenly saw more than a dozen plumes of thick smoke suddenly rising into the sky in the dusky sky. Especially at night, it looks clearer.
After just thinking about it, his face froze, "Zuo Shiren is raising the alarm. If I am not wrong, I must have informed the dock so that reinforcements can be sent to respond."
According to the distance, reinforcements will arrive by noon tomorrow, as long as the garrison general at the dock is not stupid.
…
It was dozens of miles away from Zuo Shiren.
Hong Zhen turned pale with anger and took the risk. He finally led his men and rushed to the bend of the official road. Unfortunately, the traps were scattered and there was no actual harm. In other words, this was simply a trick to suspect the enemy, but he fell into it.
The march was delayed and there was no way to rush to the aid of Zuo Shiren as quickly as possible. The most important thing is that under the procrastination, the enemy's elusive Fu Gong almost killed half of them.
Now, there were only more than 6,000 men and horses left behind him.
"Damn it, don't let me catch that enemy general!"
"After passing the big bend, the whole army will march immediately!" Hong Zhen quickly ordered without any intention of delaying. Unfortunately, the enemy behind them did not let them go, and continued to throw their bows at the rear in a long-range shooting formation.
In the blink of an eye, dozens more people fell into a pool of blood.
"Damn it, it's been dragging on for nearly two days!" Hong Zhen raised his knife and became furious.
In the dark night, Puppy Fu's face hidden in the woods is resolute and calm, looming.
