It's dusk.
Even though we were not too far from the river bank, we didn't hear the fisherman's call to close the net as he returned home like before. In the late summer weather, the wildly growing reeds swayed and swayed in the distance with the wind.
After having his neck cut, an Dongling shield soldier used his last strength to turn around and face the river behind the reeds. He remained motionless until he fell to the ground and huddled in a pool of blood.
"The reinforcements are here, they have blocked this round, and I can go home soon!" Zuo Shiren, with disheveled hair and a golden sword in his hand, frantically boosted morale.
"Get in formation, there is no life or death here! Life is at stake, and all our Dongling soldiers are respectfully invited to fight to the death!"
In the large formation, the slightly injured roared and raised their shields. The seriously injured man stood up staggeringly with his knife in his hand, guarding Zuo Shiren's front and back.
"Kill! Kill!"
Standing on the slope, Yuan Song looked even more crazy. After shouting twice, his body shook violently, and he would have rolled down had he not been supported by his personal guards.
"Ahem." Yuan Song covered his mouth with trembling hands and coughed. He is old and seventy, and this life-and-death war has almost consumed him, and he has run out of energy and energy.
When Yuan Song opened his palm, blossoming blood plum blossoms appeared in front of him.
"My lord!" Dozens of guards were shocked, "My lord, please go and rest. With King Xu Shu here, there will be no problem."
"No... I already know the destiny." Yuan Song's voice was extremely hoarse, "Unless Zuo Shiren dies, Donglai will surely perish within the next two or three years."
"There is the King of Yuzhou in the north and Zuo Shiren in the south. I have tried my best to be cautious all my life, but I didn't expect that I would fall into this situation."
No one could have imagined that a world alliance would be established, creating the current situation.
Of course, I am not blaming Xi Shu. On the contrary, the two or three crises were all helped by Xu Buyi from Xishu.
"Kill Zuo Shiren at all costs! Once Zuo Shiren dies, there will be chaos in Dongling! My general Shentu Guan will decide the outcome in a battle!"
…
Xu Mu's face was calm and he looked ahead anxiously.
The appearance of Dongling's naked soldiers has proved that Ling Su has arrived. This Yinlin is really extremely smart. There was no hesitation. Even if he tried to pull the sheep away, he was still prepared to make a judgment and march to the rescue regardless of the risk.
Moreover, the most critical sheep-killing knife in the sheep-pulling scheme has not appeared yet——
"My lord, my lord!" Just as Xu Mu was thinking, a general shouted and came over, interrupting Xu Mu's thoughts.
"What?"
"My lord, I'm so happy! General Shentu's troops have also arrived!"
Upon hearing this sentence, Xu Mu's face instantly became ecstatic. He turned his head hastily, and after a while, he saw a vast array of black shadows in the night behind him.
Due to the terrain, Shentu Guan did not use a surprise attack. Instead, he ordered people to add countless torches, and there were bright lights all around. A feeling of oppression coming from behind.
"There's a big fight." Xu Mu stopped his voice.
Previously, Zuo Shiren's men were undoubtedly the most prosperous. The Dongling Army of the headquarters, plus Kang Zhu's 50,000 Mountain Breakout Camp, and in the end, the Grain King's army joined them.
Being able to force Zuo Shiren to this point is already considered a big victory in every aspect. Abandoning Chenshuiguan, the strategic significance of Dongling in Kezhou has been reduced to nothing.
Or even... Xu Mu turned his head and glanced in the direction of Cangzhou.
"Lord, what should we do now?"
Xu Mu withdrew his gaze and his voice was extremely calm.
"Cooperate with the Donglai army and kill Zuo Shiren at all costs!"
…
"Don't hurt my lord——"
Countless Dongling soldiers who arrived, led by Ling Su, shouted in unison, their voices deafening.
"The situation is unfavorable. Send out three more battalions of naked soldiers to block the encirclement and suppression of the enemy coalition forces as quickly as possible!" Ling Su ordered through gritted teeth.
Behind, the ghostly Shu people are still intruding. He discovered that the leader of these few Shu people was actually a young man.
"Divide another three thousand people into the rear." Ling Su clenched his fists, "You don't have to doubt that the enemy's goal is to kill my lord at all costs. Then, we will protect my lord at all costs!"
"Protect the lord!"
There were three more battalions of naked soldiers, running very fast, braving the flying arrows of the coalition forces, and rushing forward without fear of death.
"kill!"
Under the vast darkness, in the faint light of torches, countless figures were fighting together. There was a small stream that merged into the river, and soon it turned into a river of blood. There were even corpses of dead soldiers who were kicked into the river. After a while, they floated on the river, covered with mud and sand, and flowed all the way to the gate of hell.
"Bow bow, shoot fire arrows!"
Dense fire arrows fell one after another in the formation of Zuo Shiren's remnant army. The sudden flames burned many Dongling soldiers, and they could not stop screaming in anger.
"Lord, be careful!" A loyal Dongling guard pushed Zuo Shiren away, and fell to the ground with two or three thrown fire arrows stuck in his body.
Zuo Shiren was so moved that he half-knelt on the ground and burst into tears. I recall how high-spirited the army was when they came out of the mausoleum.
But he didn't know it, and fell into Xu Buyi's trap step by step, and suffered today's catastrophe. At this time, there were only two to three hundred people left in the fighting force beside him. Most of them were injured.
"Lord, the military advisor's troops have arrived."
Zuo Shiren raised his head tremblingly, his eyes showing hope from time to time.
…
Above the Xiangjiang River, the night wind whistled.
As the naval commander, Ren Yu was like a lieutenant. Although he was dissatisfied, he could only stand on the sidelines.
This time, 30,000 naval troops went out for the expedition, and the leader was Admiral Kang Zhu.
Ren Yu even thought that if Kang Zhu made a mistake in judgment and there was no so-called disaster at all, then he would definitely get involved in it in front of his lord.
"Ren Yu." Just as Ren Yu was thinking, he suddenly heard Kang Zhu's voice. He subconsciously raised his head, clasped his fists and stepped out of the queue.
This look made him disgusted again.
"Ren Yu, do you know why I want to take you with me?"
Jealous of talents, afraid that I will steal the credit.
Of course, Ren Yu would not dare to say this openly.
"No matter what... I will obey General Kang's orders."
Kang Zhu nodded lightly, "I will march first, with only a few hundred boats. At this time, we need a general who is well versed in water warfare as a vanguard."
"Ren Yu, I think you are very suitable. There is no need to fight, you only need to go to Jiang'an first to investigate the situation, and that will be the first step. Of course, if you are unwilling, I will choose someone else."
Ren Yu was startled, feeling a little hesitant in his heart. He was afraid of something unexpected happening, but equally, he had just taken over as the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy and really needed military merit to consolidate his position.
"I am willing to accept my order!" Fugui begged in danger. Ren Yu gritted his teeth and raised his hand in response. As the naval commander, if you cannot make a contribution, I am afraid that you will be criticized in the future. And the General Dongling in front of him will look down upon him even more.
It's nothing more than a reconnaissance mission, so be careful and you'll be fine.
"Okay, as expected of me, the Navy Commander of Dongling." Kang Zhu nodded calmly.
"Go ahead and be careful."
Wait for Ren Yu to get off the main ship.
Kang Zhucai stood up silently, standing on the bow of the ship, looking quietly into the distance. In the bottom of his heart, he was basically certain of the fact that his master was in trouble. As for Ren Yu, as the current Navy Commander, if he cannot obey orders, this rescue operation will most likely result in nothing.
It's not about eliminating dissidents, but it's time for the entire Dongling Mountains to win a great victory to inspire the mountains and rivers. Turning his head, Kang Zhu looked in the direction of Cangzhou again. He didn't move for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Almost there." After a long time, Kang Zhu finally uttered.
…
