As the night wore on and dawn dawned, the sound of fighting continued for a long time.
"Xu Buyi, I, Yinlin, will not fall into your trap!" The armored Lingsu stood on the high ground, guarded by thousands of soldiers. The voice was full of unconcealable anger.
Of course, being too far away, the deceitful Xu Buyi would definitely not hear it. It's nothing more than venting your unhappiness. Now, in order to rush to the aid of Zuo Shiren, not only Chenshui Pass was abandoned, but also the strategic location was lost. Even the more than 100,000 people who were originally in the pass were killed and injured, and only more than 60,000 people were left dead or injured.
"Array, form a guard, and protect the Lord!"
With the naked soldiers dying, Yuan Song's offensive was eased a lot. Because of this, Zuo Shiren could not be captured for a while.
But in front of him, among the dense corpses, most of them were the corpses of Dongling's naked soldiers. Either hit by an arrow or wounded by a sword, the limbs were criss-crossed, and blood seeped all over the ground.
But in the end, with more than 10,000 naked soldiers dying, Ling Su's troops finally caught up.
Worried about being counterattacked, Xu Mu frowned and asked Yuan Song to stop first. Unfortunately, Yuan Song did not listen to the advice and still commanded his troops desperately to kill Zuo Shiren.
"Don't worry, King Shu, my general Shen Tu Guan has also arrived!"
Xu Mu naturally knew this. But even if Shentu Guan comes, it will only be an evenly matched situation. Moreover, in order to protect the Lord, the people of Dongling will not retreat. You know, Zuo Shiren has always cared about his reputation. Except for the occasional stupid things, he is regarded as the most popular among the three states of Dongling.
"Xiaoyao, you lead the Xiaer Rebel Army to protect the flanks of the coalition forces and be careful of the Dongling people's counter-suppression." Xu Mu thought for a while and gave the order.
From beginning to end, Xu Mu never underestimated Ling Su. Such a person is not an ordinary person. For example, this time, Ling Su was able to see through the conspiracy and rushed to help as quickly as possible.
In this troubled world, it is true that there are fools, but there are also many smart people. If you are arrogant and careless, you will probably suffer.
Turning around, Xu Mu suddenly looked pleased. Shen Tuguan, who followed, did not disappoint him. With an army of more than 30,000 people, they took advantage of the terrain to form a vast formation, which made Lingsu's side not dare to change their counter-suppression formation.
"kill--"
When they got closer, the two armies finally started a new round of hand-to-hand combat.
The flying arrows from both sides kept falling in the sky. Every time it falls, screams of pain can be heard all over the sky.
"Raise your shield!"
After hearing the news that the reinforcements had arrived, Zuo Shiren, who was in a state of despair, suddenly gave out the order in a hoarse voice, filled with hope.
"call."
The last elite members of the headquarters set up shields to protect Zuo Shiren in the middle. At this time, the Donglai soldiers who were charging were already a little weak due to the situation.
The phalanx that rushed over encountered another branch of Lingsu's reinforcements halfway, and was constantly being killed.
"Zhanyi——"
Shen Tuguan watched carefully and ordered calmly. The ancient formation quickly changed. Rows of Donglai spears and shields stepped out step by step, splitting the wings of Lingsu's reinforcements. It didn't take long for them to retreat step by step.
"Send the order, the Bu Gong camp does not need to worry about anything else and contain Shen Tu Guan's reinforcements!" Standing on the slope, Ling Su's eyes were terrifyingly gloomy.
Huhu——
Wave after wave of flying arrows were fired densely towards the wing-cut Donglai Army. As a last resort, the rows of Donglai guns and shields could only raise their shields and quickly close their formation.
"The shield soldiers supported the guards with step bows, and formed a large circular formation to move closer to the lord."
…
"Crush the enemy formation!" Yuan Song's hair and beard were spread out. Under the order, groups of Donglai soldiers formed a square formation again and moved forward to kill them.
Xu Mu watched silently.
The battle in front of them was almost a melee. The number of troops on both sides reached almost hundreds of thousands. All over the mountains and plains, there are figures of people fighting.
He felt bitter in his heart. Under such a layout, Zuo Shiren still couldn't be killed.
That Lingsu, who dared to be called Yinlin, was a capable and talented person after all.
"Don't retreat, continue to attack the enemy's formation!" In desperation, Yuan Song did not give up. It's a pity that with the command of Ling Su, the Dongling Army has become more fearless and fearless, and Zuo Shiren's number of people rushing to kill has become less and less.
"Kill, kill! Kill!"
Under the sky, Yuan Song shouted three times in a row, and suddenly he vomited blood with a "wow" sound, and he fell off his horse and fell over.
"My lord, my lord!" Many Donglai guards instantly turned pale with fright and hurriedly surrounded him.
Xu Mu sighed.
Yuan Song's obsession with killing Zuo Shiren can be said to be unending. The two families had already formed a huge feud since Yuan Song became emperor.
In the front, Shen Tu Guan's army was still fighting hard, taking advantage of Ling Su's savior's eagerness to charge and kill every time a flaw was revealed. After repeated repetitions, more and more Dongling soldiers died in battle, until in front of Xu Mu's eyes, there were densely packed corpses.
However, despite the battle losses, Lingsu's large circular formation finally moved closer to Zuo Shiren, tightly wrapping Zuo Shiren's remnant army of more than a hundred people in it.
Under this situation, coupled with Yuan Song's vomiting of blood and fainting, it was no surprise that Shen Tuguan, who was constantly intercepting and attacking from behind, decisively gathered the army and surrounded the coalition forces.
As a result, the two armies became confrontational again.
"The following Arc Moon Formation is resting and surrounding the Dongling Army!"
…
tread.
After jumping out of the boat and taking hundreds of naval soldiers with him, Ren Yu followed the river bank and became more and more frightened as he looked.
"Why is this river... so smelly of blood?"
After walking a few more steps, Ren Yu stepped on a floating corpse that was washed ashore, and he screamed in fright.
"General, don't shout, be careful there are enemy troops nearby!" General Bi reminded him with a horrified look on his face.
Undoubtedly, General Xiao Pi's crow's mouth quickly became reality.
Two battalions of patrolling Donglai troops quickly approached from the surroundings. After seeing clearly the robes and armor of these hundreds of people, they threw several waves of flying arrows without any hesitation.
Ren Yu was so frightened that he couldn't choose his way out and ran away to where the boat was parked. After running a few steps, he was shot in the leg by an arrow. He grinned in pain and fell to the ground.
"Don't kill, don't kill me. I am the naval commander of Dongling. I will tell you everything!"
…
Kang Zhu, who was on the main boat on the river, opened his eyes coldly.
He stood on the bow and turned around coldly. After looking at the main ship, there were nearly a thousand warships. He kept the secret from Ren Yu, and after the light boat went ahead, he calculated the speed of the boat and let the 30,000 sailors behind him get closer step by step.
Now, instead of the 3,000-man light boat vanguard, more than 30,000 naval troops rushed to the bank of the Kezhou River.
"There has been no intelligence in Kezhou for a long time, and the Western Shu people cut off the rescue. In other words, there is a high possibility that the entire Kezhou has been taken over by the combined forces of the Shu and Donglai people."
"I guessed that there would be strict enemy patrols on the Kezhou River bank. Naturally, I couldn't hide it while the navy rushed to the rescue. But I changed a method and asked Ren Yu to bring the fake intelligence."
"We are already close to the river bank here." Kang Zhu looked up at the sky, "It's night time again——"
"Anchor the ship here, leaving only 10,000 people. The remaining 20,000 troops will turn into water ghosts and attack ashore at night!"
Dongling people are very strong in water, so there is no problem with the waterway of only one or two miles.
"Five hundred light boats, continue sailing to the east, attract the attention of the enemy camp's sentinels, and cover the landing of the water ghosts!"
"I'm waiting for this time, and I vow to show the majesty of the Dongling people!" Kang Zhu's eyes were calm, and his voice was full of fighting spirit and murderous intent.
…
To the west of Cangzhou, there is the Xishu camp under Li Du City.
In the military tent, Dongfang Jing, who was reading at night, held a piece of information about Li Ducheng in his hand and fell into deep thought for a long time. After half a stick of incense, he raised his head, seemingly determined on something, and gradually smiled.
…
