"Going through the forest——"
The vast black armor of Beiyu was washed and shined by the rain all over the sky. But he didn't stop at all and continued to rush forward.
Sitting in the woods, Huang Daochong's voice was unhurried.
"Jiang Meng is a cautious person. When passing by the Covered Forest, he will definitely send someone to check. Therefore, this round must be avoided, and the ambush army must retreat deep into the forest. Furthermore, Jiang Meng thought that I was going to cross the river and return. Shu, no matter how cautious you are, you will still feel anxious in your heart."
This time, not only the ambush army, but also the men and horses of Yi Jia from before will also cooperate to kill the enemy.
…
"General, the rain has been heavy. I searched around the forest and found no ambush. But the scouts from the front came back and said that not far away, there was a fighting battlefield. More and more soldiers were escaping back."
Jiang Meng fell into deep thought, looked at the forest next to him, and then looked ahead. After all, no time was wasted. Shouting the slogan "Crossing the forest", the army followed the entire cover forest and moved forward quickly.
Marching on a rainy day is inherently difficult. Jiang Meng was more worried about not being able to catch up with Qingfeng. Thirty thousand black armors, like long snakes, began to run on the muddy forest road.
"Heavy step, split into two wings."
Among these 30,000 people, there are not only light steps, but also more than 3,000 heavy steps, which can be called the elite of the Eastern Route Army. At this time, following Jiang Meng's order, they were divided into two teams to protect the flanks on both sides.
Huang Daochong in the forest frowned.
Jiang Meng's method of leading the army was better than that of Shen Tuguan and Chang Sheng. This famous general from Beiyu, who is famous for his military training, has always been a tough opponent in infantry battles. Under such circumstances, be so cautious.
"Military advisor, we are about to cross the forest."
Huang Daochong raised his head with a hint of cruelty in his eyes. If they pass through the forest, all the six men and horses previously ambushed will be destroyed. Moreover, he was about to fight Jiang Meng to the death in the open space outside the forest.
"Send me military orders——"
Huang Daochong stood up coldly, making a sound in the rain.
"Attack Beiyu Heijia!"
"kill!"
"Roar--"
At both ends of the forest, it seemed that in just a moment, the sound of fighting and the sound of drums filled the sky.
Beiyu's Changwu was too long, and there was no heavy step protection on the flanks. Those light-stepping black armor who had no time to move were quickly covered up by the Shu soldiers who came out. They raised their swords angrily and disrupted the formation several times.
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack——"
One by one, Beiyu Pi generals quickly shouted warnings.
Jiang Meng was shocked at first, but quickly calmed down, with a full fighting spirit on his face.
"Form up! Take the heavy step first to break through the Shu people's attack, and follow with the light step to attack from behind!"
Although there was a wave of casualties, soon, under Jiang Meng's order, many Beiyu Black Armor calmed down. In conjunction with the heavy steps on both wings, he blocked the attacking Shu soldiers.
"Qingfeng, don't forget, I, Jiang Meng, am the ancestor of Bu Zhan!"
After only one fight, Huang Daochong in the forest did not let the army continue to kill. Instead, after throwing away some corpses, they played the tong drum and asked the army to quickly retreat into the forest.
"General, the people of Western Shu have retreated into the woods!"
Jiang Meng could naturally see that surrounded by guards, his eyes were constantly looking around. The enemy is in darkness and we are in the clear, which has always been a taboo on the battlefield.
"Old general, do you want to go into the forest?"
"Stabilize the formation first——"
Before Jiang Meng could finish his words, suddenly, many Beiyu black armors who had escaped behind suddenly stood up with their swords drawn and started fighting against their colleagues.
Under the drastic change, the formation of the Eastern Route Army suddenly became chaotic again.
At both ends of the forest, the drums started beating again, and the Shu soldiers who took the opportunity to rush out, roaring and raising their swords and shields, quickly attacked and killed the 23rd Battalion of Beiyu Black Armor at the end of Changwu, cooperating with the "fleeing troops".
"These tong drum sounds are clearly confusing the ears." Jiang Meng gritted his teeth and calmed down.
As he thought, after killing this round, the soldiers of Xishu retreated into the forest.
Boom, boom.
To the southwest of the left side of the cover forest, drums suddenly sounded again.
At this time, whether Beiyu stepped heavily or lightly, many people raised their knives and turned around, looking at the place where the drum sound started.
"This is a false drum! Don't recognize the sound of the drum!" Jiang Meng shouted angrily.
But it was too late. Taking advantage of the confusion of the drums, General Ma Yi of Yuncheng and the troops of the 2nd and 3rd Battalions came out from behind and pushed the formation with long spears. Several hundred Beiyu black armors died in the strangulation.
"Qingfeng, you only know a few tricks!" Jiang Meng's face was filled with anger. He already understood that although this so-called ambush was discovered, it had little effect.
"Ling Qi, listen to me identify the position!" Jiang Meng closed his eyes in a deep voice.
"Xiao, General Shentu's gluttonous formation, bite each other head to tail!"
Boom.
At this time, another drum sound sounded.
"On the right side, step hard to reach the shield!" Jiang Meng ordered loudly in the rain.
After the Shu soldiers who rushed out from the right were blocked by Heavy Steps, the Beiyu Black Armor who surrounded them drew their swords angrily and cooperated with Heavy Steps to kill a battalion of Western Shu soldiers who rushed out from the forest, killing them all over the ground. corpse.
In the forest, Huang Daochong first closed his eyes in pain, but soon opened them coldly.
Jiang Meng, worthy of being a famous general in infantry warfare, immediately saw through his false and true plan and did not distinguish the sound of the drum.
"Hidden forest, don't come out again." Huang Daochong ordered in a deep voice.
…
In the blinding forest, the fighting battlefield seemed to have suddenly become dead silent.
After about two sticks of incense, the Shu soldiers in the forest did not appear again for a long time, as if they had disappeared. But Jiang Meng was not careless, and his cold eyes continued to scan around him surrounded by personal guards.
"Come out of the forest and cut off the Shu people's way to cross the river." After a long time, Jiang Meng sneered.
It won't be long before the Changsheng Little Military Advisor's side will turn back in a big way. As long as the road across the river is cut off, the Shu soldiers led by Qingfeng will be blocked in Kezhou.
…
"March, go straight to Chenshui Pass!" As if he had expected it, Huang Daochong's eyes became more determined.
Jiang Meng wanted to cut off his way back to Lingzhou, but he also wanted to cut off Jiang Meng's way back to the inner city. As long as Chenshui Pass is captured as quickly as possible, then one can defend one side through this pass.
After a fight, whether it was Huang Daochong or Jiang Meng, the two seemed to have a clear understanding of each other. One faced south and the other faced north, and they both marched quickly.
At first glance, the war seemed to be over. But between the two, in Kezhou, they will fight to the death.
…
"It's time to leave." On top of the city in Hezhou, Chang Sheng turned around expressionlessly. It has been more than a month here, enough time to avoid the sight of the lame man.
But now, it is time for him to come out of the world again and attack Western Shu hard.
…
On the bank of the Lingzhou River, Gong Gou, who had arrived late, was trembling, kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help crying. He never stopped along the way, but in the end it was still too late.
Military Advisor Qingfeng has led his army across the river to Kezhou.
"Tell me, general, how many troops are there in Lingzhou?"
"Less than six thousand..."
"Separate three thousand people who are good at shooting. I need to cross the river immediately." He wiped away his tears and said in a calm voice.
"General Xu, do you have an order from the Lord?"
"No need to transfer orders, the lord is my clan brother, Xu Changgong! I, Xu Changgong, was able to kill King Zuoli with one arrow when he refused to fight Beidi in Wangzhou. But now, my courage is still weak. I need to cross the river immediately and rescue the Qingfeng military commander!"
The Lingzhou general who spoke seemed to be infected and nodded resolutely.
"If so, General Chen Liu is willing to go with General Xu!"
