Two days later, in the early morning, Dongfang Jing sat on a wooden wheel and looked at the back city gate of Dingdong Pass in silence. My lord's army of ten thousand people has already left the city and is about to go to the south of the Yangtze River.
Whether openly or secretly, he mentioned to his lord that he might be involved in danger this time. But the Huang Daochong clan has contributed too much to Western Shu. If we don't save it, how will the whole of Xishu fare?
Of course, he also mentioned sending another general, such as Chen Zhong. In this way, if any disaster does happen, it can be safely avoided.
Dongfang Jing sighed. He was worried that the person behind it was not the shepherd, but someone else. If so, the battle situation in Jiangnan will change again.
Due to the situation in Dingzhou, the army led by my lord is only an army of ten thousand people. Although most of them are elites, this trip will be very dangerous.
"Lord, take care of yourself all the way!" Dongfang Jing, who was serious about words and words, shouted with all his strength, his mouth buzzing.
At the back city gate of Dingdong Pass and the extended official road, Xu Mu turned his head and looked back in silence, looking in the direction of Dingdong Pass.
This time, the situation based on Kezhou changed. Lao Huang must be rescued. There are not many thousands of people, but as soon as they arrive at Bailu County, Xiaofu, who has been prepared for a long time, will ask Chen Sheng to come with an army of ten thousand people. After the meeting, there will be twenty thousand horses, which is not a small number.
During the conversation that night, Xu Mu also knew that Dongfang Jing's vague meaning was that he was worried that it was a ploy, and that he would be in danger.
But Dongfang Jing seemed to have forgotten... Before he became the King of Shu, he had always been exhausted. Whether it was a tough battle or a battle of life and death, he could not fight less than ten battles.
And this time, the person to be supported is Lao Huang. Lao Huang had an accident and refused to save him, because he was afraid of the hidden child in Beiyu...
Xu Mu shook his head and shook his thoughts away. I hope Lao Huang is strong enough to hold on until the reinforcements from Xishu arrive.
…
Toward the south of the Yangtze River, there was also another enemy reinforcement force. At this time, Chang Sheng, the reinforcements coach, frowned and kept looking at the latest intelligence.
After more than ten days, there was no progress in the battle at Chen Shuiguan. I heard that Qingfeng from Xishu also solved the problem of food, grass and baggage. With nearly 20,000 people, they vowed to defend the pass to the death.
"Military advisor, the intelligence also said that a Shu army has also moved in from Lingzhou. It is estimated that the number is not large, and they will only shoot at my patrol camp in Beiyu. There are dozens of casualties every day. But as soon as General Jiang Meng led his men, the group retreated again."
"The strategy of tired soldiers." Chang Sheng rubbed his forehead, "The Xishu general who leads the army has some abilities after all. If Jiang Meng can't solve it, I'm afraid the morale of the army under Chen Shuiguan will slowly collapse. . But I also understand Jiang Meng’s considerations. If the manpower is allocated, Qingfeng will most likely go out of the city to counterattack when the manpower is insufficient. With the wolf in front and the tiger behind, Jiang Meng is also in crisis. The war in Kezhou has been completely chaotic. .”
"Zhao Cheng, who is guarding Laizhou, which is closest to Kezhou, also led an army of more than 10,000 people and set up camp at another place in Chenshui Pass. Based on the appearance, he is preparing to cooperate with Jiang and Meng in the attack."
"Jiang Meng should not move." Chang Sheng shook his head, "Laizhou has too few troops, and the guarding Zhao Cheng is not a wise general. If he is not careful, he may fall into Qingfeng's plan. "
"Are you waiting for the military advisor?" Yan Pi was startled.
Chang Sheng smiled and said, "The cripples of Western Shu like to gauge the situation the most. Now I have to learn a little more. The battle situation in Kezhou is changeable, and it makes no sense to stick to the rules."
"What does the military advisor mean?"
Chang Sheng narrowed his eyes, vaguely showing murderous intent, "It depends on who the reinforcements sent by Xi Shu later will be."
…
"Enemy attack——"
From the south direction of Dingdong Pass, bursts of fighting sounds suddenly came. When a Northern Chongqing general came over on horseback with three or four battalions, those hateful Shu people suddenly retreated.
"Damn Shurat!"
General Pi cursed bitterly and turned the horse's head. After all, he listened to the military order and did not pursue it further.
"So, it disappeared all of a sudden." Jiang Meng, who was sitting on a wooden stake without any armor, frowned and spoke.
"Exactly, after killing twenty or thirty people, when he saw me leading people there, he was so frightened that he ran away."
"The number of people should not be large. We misjudged the footprints on the other side of the depression earlier. This Xishu reinforcements will not exceed 5,000 people, and it is more likely to be light troops without armor. Foot bow. He doesn't dare to fight hard. Without armor, he is like tofu. No matter how many rounds you charge into the formation, you don't know how many people you can kill."
"Old General, this is not the way to go. In less than half a month, six to seven hundred people have been killed or injured. The most important thing is that the soldiers in the camp are so angry that they can't help but curse."
"This is a tactic to exhaust the troops. If we act too hastily, we will fall into the trap. Don't forget—"
Jiang Meng pointed to Chen Shuiguan ahead, "We are waiting for the real opponent, but we are still looking for opportunities."
"General, isn't there General Zhao Cheng's army of ten thousand people on the other side of Chen Shuiguan? If not, we will attack Chen Shuiguan with a flanking attack."
"Inappropriate." Jiang Meng said in a solemn voice.
Before the little military advisor Chang Sheng wrote, what he had to do was not to act rashly. It is simply not true to say that "the general will not accept the emperor's orders". You must know that the person who made this plan was Chang Sheng's little strategist. If the little strategist's plan is spoiled, all previous efforts will be wasted.
Spending time here would put Qingfeng in danger, and so would he. After all, reinforcements from both sides will come at any time. Compared with Qingfeng, the only difference is that Qingfeng has nothing to do with him, but he does not.
But no matter what, Qingfeng at this time is a turtle in the urn. I just waited for the little military advisor to return and catch the turtles in person.
"He Shu obeys the order." After thinking for a while, Jiang Meng calmly spoke.
The general beside him hurriedly cupped his hands and clasped his fists.
"The Shu soldiers in the rear will continue to use the exhaustion strategy. If they are not wrong, they will still retreat into the forest to avoid pursuit."
Jiang Meng paused, "But you have also seen that after the rain, it has been extremely dry these days. When these people come out again, you gather all the light cavalry, there should be five or six hundred cavalry, and immediately chase these Shu soldiers." "
"General, I will pursue you with all my strength!"
"It's not a pursuit." Jiang Meng raised his head, with a cold look in his eyes, "As I said before, it's been very dry these days. You lead the cavalry battalion to pursue them, force these Shu soldiers into the woods, and cooperate with the infantry at the rear. Together, then set fire to the forest.”
Bijiang He Shu listened, and for a moment, his whole body showed a look of surprise.
"General, this is a great plan. If it succeeds, these rats will be burned to death!"
"I hope so too." Jiang Meng smiled lightly.
