Not long after, as Gao Zhou revealed his flaw, as expected, the city gate of Dingdongguan opened wide, and those Shu knights who had retreated suddenly rushed out again.
This scene made Gao Zhou look ecstatic.
"Look, take a good look, the lame man has fallen into the trap! I lured him out of the city gate! Quick, send an order immediately, let the soldiers in front of you get ready to go around and attack!"
"Grandpa, the lame man has also left the city!"
Just hearing this sentence, Gao Zhou's whole body seemed to be crazy. So crazy that he could no longer be cautious, so crazy that he wanted to do whatever it took to take off the lame man's head and become famous.
"Absolutely no, retreat quickly!" Only Shen Tuguan turned pale with shock. He saw from a distance the wooden wheel cart that turned him into a nightmare, as well as the somewhat thin figure in white robes on the wooden wheel cart.
He almost didn't have to think about it... It was most likely that Gao Zhou fell into the lame man's plan. And now, the lame man is going to make a plan!
"Listen to my military orders, do not make any detours, and quickly retreat to Dayuan Pass!"
"Shen Tu Guan, you are so bold!" Gao Zhou looked extremely angry when he heard this, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me, Gao Zhou. The lame Dongfang Jing has been lured out of the city by me! He will definitely die——"
"Idiot, Gao Zhou, you old fool!" As calm as Shen Tuguan, he couldn't help but curse at this time. He and Chang Sheng had been confronting Xi Shu for a long time. Both he and Chang Sheng understood what a terrifying person this half-strategist of Xi Shu was. However, Gao Zhou now acted like a fool, only stretching his neck to get into the noose of the hanging.
"Mo Li, the surrendered general!" Gao Zhou snorted coldly, "Listen to my military orders and prepare to attack the lame man from both sides! Whoever takes the head of the lame man, I will make the decision for the lord, reward him with ten thousand gold, and make him a marquis!"
Under the heavy reward, Shen Tu Guan's voice was gradually drowned out. All around, there was only crazy shouting.
Shen Tuguan was shaky, but fortunately, his best troops, about eight thousand people, gathered around him.
"This big defeat...I am not exempt from the blame for my application for the Tu crown! Gao Zhou, you misled me Beiyu——"
No matter what Shen Tuguan tried to persuade, Gao Zhou had already fallen into madness. He stood on the high ground and kept staring at the lame wooden wheel cart in front of him.
Little did they know that a real pincer attack was coming.
"Kill!" Gao Zhou waved his flag heavily.
All around, Beiyu soldiers roared loudly. In order to compete for credit, countless people rushed towards the direction of the wooden wheel cart.
…
On the wooden wheel, Dongfang Jing looked up with a smile. Under the night, looking at the enemy troops gathering in front, he did not feel any panic, but looked determined to win.
"Pass my military order to counterattack the Beiyu army. This time, as I said before, Beiyu military advisor Gao Zhou will be killed until he falls off his horse and flees in utter piss!"
The command flag of Xishu was also passed out.
The fastest group of Beiyu soldiers had no time to rejoice when they were knocked off their feet by a wave of flying arrows falling from the sky.
All of a sudden, the sound of toms and shouts filled the air around these Beiyu soldiers.
The Beiyu army was taking a circuitous route, and screams could be heard one after another without interruption.
"Military advisor, something bad has happened...there is an ambush from the Shu people!" A Beiyu scout with blood on his face reported hoarsely on horseback.
"What's wrong?" Gao Zhou was trembling all over, no longer as high-spirited as before. Shen Tuguan was not wrong. The lame man did not fall into the trap of luring the enemy. He was clearly the one who was deceived and was dragged by the lame man to live in this battlefield of life and death.
"Grandpa, there are Shu soldiers everywhere! There are more than ten thousand people!"
"I can't say...Did Chen Zhong bring people back? But obviously, didn't he go to Beiguan to provide support? Why did he come back so quickly?"
"Commander, why don't you retreat!" Shen Tuguan gritted his teeth, wishing he could raise his hand and slap the old man in front of him for not obeying his advice.
"Retreat...retreat! Ming Jin withdraws his troops!" Gao Zhou gritted his teeth unwillingly. Although he was stupid, he also understood that if he was really surrounded by Shu soldiers who rushed out of the city and dispersed his troops, if he continued to stay here, he would really be waiting for death.
After getting on the horse, Gao Zhou held back the discomfort in his chest and was about to run forward.
But he never thought that not far behind, there was a roar of Shu soldiers, which shocked his liver and gallbladder, and the discomfort became more and more intense.
"The army retreats!" At the critical moment, Shentu climbed to the high ground and used torches and flags to help the fleeing Beiyu soldiers identify their direction and retreat together.
"Kill!"
In the rear, the Shu cavalry of tens of thousands were the most ferocious. Hundreds of them rushed together to kill them. Countless Beiyu soldiers suddenly fell into a pool of blood.
The Xishu soldiers who were running through the forest lay down their bows and marched lightly. After catching up with the fleeing Northern Chongqing army, they all set up their bows, twisted their arrows, and fired rounds of flying arrows.
On the retreating official road, I don’t know how many soldiers from Beiyu fell.
Hachihachi.
Gao Zhou, who was riding on the horse, wished he could escape faster, so he simply took off all the armor on his body and threw it to the ground.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I will be able to escape back to Dayuan Pass along the way!"
"Gao Yong, I'm not feeling well... I didn't sleep last night and was observing Dingdong Pass. I probably caught a cold——"
It wasn't that I caught a cold, but that I was scared. It was obviously a good layout, but the lame people came out to counterattack, and they were almost completely defeated.
"What happened to Grandpa?"
"I'm feeling unwell. I want to... think of Gong!"
"Grandpa, there are Shu soldiers chasing you from behind!"
"Of course I know... hurry up and leave first." Gao Zhou gritted his teeth. The horse he was riding on was even more panicked than him after seeing the smoke and fire all around and the screams. He held his horse's legs and ran even more fiercely.
The bumps on the horse's back made Gao Zhou want to jump off his horse and run into the woods several times to solve the problem once and for all.
"Grandpa, please bear with me... We are not far from Dayuan Pass." Gao Yong was standing nearby. Seeing Gao Zhou's appearance, his face twitched for no apparent reason.
The grandfather in front of him was already covered in sweat, and the old wrinkles on his face were squeezed together.
"Gao Yong, don't worry. As the military advisor of Beiyu, I should know that the military situation is critical——"
"Military advisor—" Before Gao Zhou could finish speaking, a scout with a loud voice rode up from the front.
Gao Zhou was so frightened that he finally managed to hold back under the bumps.
"Speak quickly and don't get in the way."
"A Shu soldier appeared in front of where I was waiting!"
"What!"
Gao Zhou raised his head and looked into the distance, gnashing his teeth uncontrollably.
"Kill over and order the whole army to break out quickly!"
…
If there were no accidents, maybe Gao Zhou could return to Dayuan Pass without any danger, and then run into the toilet next to the city gate without stopping.
But at this time, something unexpected happened.
There was another scout with a rough voice, and his voice was even louder. With just one sentence, Gao Zhou was shocked all over.
"Military strategist, the Shu people in front set fire to the forest, blocking our way...Military strategist, strategist?"
Riding on the horse, Gao Zhou trembled and lowered his head. From the position of the saddle, a stench began to fill the sky, and even the horse was neighing continuously.
Gao Yong, who was beside him, widened his eyes and hurriedly reined in his horse and stepped away. I didn't know what to say, so I could only say one sentence in silence in the end.
"Grandpa... take care of yourself."
