"kill!"
Perhaps they had expected it, and the Shu soldiers who broke out of the city only marched in the direction of the snake road. However, in no time, many Western Shu soldiers were shot and fell.
There were also many Shu soldiers, at least thousands of them, whose morale seemed to have collapsed. They were so scared by the killing that they no longer cared about military orders and began to flee in all directions.
Even if the Xishu generals kept shouting, they still couldn't save this chaotic battle.
"Hahaha, I told you before, Qingfeng's plan is just as I expected."
Looking at the fire in the city, Jiang Meng burst out laughing. If you can defeat Xishu Qingfeng, it will be a great joy.
In the ecstasy, although he saw the defeated Xishu army, he did not pay too much attention. Instead, he fixed his gaze on the Qingfeng main formation that broke through.
"Pass my military order to make beacon smoke. Remember, under the snow, add some catkins to make three-color smoke." Jiang Meng shouted excitedly. As long as the little military advisor receives the information, he will definitely come quickly and attack him from both front and back.
"Chase Qingfeng!"
"Roar!"
The nearly 20,000 troops from Beiyu and Chongqing all moved forward to pursue and suppress them. For a time, the sound of killing was even louder.
…
On the march, Huang Daochong didn't feel too nervous. The current situation was entirely within his estimation. Behind him, the 7,000 elite men also pretended to be deserters whose morale had collapsed and fled in all directions.
Huang Daochong raised his head, thinking about the most suitable place for the decisive battle. As the uncrowned king who has been running Kezhou for many years, he naturally knows which place is most suitable for a counterattack.
The Chenshui Pass area is close to the Kezhou border. If I remember correctly, there is a section of swamp road not far ahead.
"Follow the flag order."
Just like a defeated rooster, at first glance, there were only less than ten thousand Shu soldiers left, fleeing in embarrassment.
"Commander Qingfeng, it's snowing again."
"It snows so much."
Huang Daochong raised his head and closed his eyes. If the swamp was covered with snow, it could become a murderous intention. People in the world only know that his name is Qingfeng, but they don't know that this Kezhou, which is only two counties apart, is the birthplace of Huang Daochong.
Opening his eyes again, Huang Daochong gritted his teeth.
Jiang Meng, die respectfully!
…
"The military advisor said, follow the flag order!"
It had snowed for an unknown number of days. Although it was not as good as in the north, no matter what, it finally spread a thin layer on the swamp.
Stepping on the edge of the swamp with ease, Huang Daochong's expression remained calm. Looking up, many of the bald trees around were covered with snow and frost. Pieces of white light can occasionally sting people's eyes.
"Military advisor, the Beiyu people have arrived."
"Slow down the marching speed and let the people from Beiyu watch. They think that the morale of our Western Shu tiger soldiers has collapsed and they will be timid to fight. In addition, the infantry and bow camp were sent to the infantry and bow camp. In the first three rounds, they fired in scattered formations. Among the ten , seven people are required to shoot the open string.”
"The military advisor wants to show weakness?"
"Exactly, luring the wolf into the water."
Soon, the Beiyu army behind them rushed towards the front.
Under the snow, they could only see that many Shu soldiers in front of them were already in a messy formation, and even the archers were in groups of twos and threes, completely out of formation.
"shoot--"
Among the Shu people, scattered arrows were fired, but their accuracy was not good, and only four or five Beiyu soldiers were injured. This appearance made many people in the Beiyudong Route Army who were chasing after him burst into laughter.
"kill!"
Countless Beiyu people quickly raised their swords and couldn't bear it anymore, so they all rushed forward.
Jiang Meng finally arrived, and when he saw the formation ahead, he also looked happy. He looked at his Eastern Route Army, which was making a killing sound and was preparing to surround Qingfeng here.
But for some reason, his eyelids twitched for no apparent reason. As a general guarding Kezhou, he was an extremely cautious person. He even studied the topographic map of Kezhou at the beginning.
Although there are only two counties, there are many swamps in Kezhou, which were natural barriers in the past.
But the green phoenix in front of me seemed to be in a panic and had already veered towards the snake path in the mountains...
"General Jiang Meng, we are about to win a great victory!"
"Very good..." Jiang Meng rubbed his eyebrows, always feeling that he was missing something.
At this moment, suddenly, countless people from his own troops who were charging ahead started shouting. When Jiang Meng looked up, he realized that at least half of the troops who had rushed to kill him had fallen into the swamp.
"No, it's a swamp!" Jiang Meng looked shocked. He could even see clearly that the Shu people who originally showed weakness became extremely fierce after seeing the Beiyu soldiers sinking into the swamp.
"Why is this Qingfeng so familiar with the terrain? When he went to Chenshui Pass before, he was able to take a shortcut, but now it's better, he also avoided the swamp with miraculous skills."
"General Chiang, don't blame yourself. It's just a thin layer of snow covering the ground. It's hard to tell the difference for a while."
"You don't understand." Jiang Meng gritted his teeth, "Originally we were going to attack Qingfeng from both sides, but this time, we are at a disadvantage!"
Jiang Meng just finished speaking, and not long after, another scout came hurriedly from behind.
"General Jiang Meng, something bad has happened! A group of Shu soldiers suddenly appeared behind us!"
"Several people?"
"Thousands of them are coming with swords to kill!"
Jiang Meng was shocked. He remembered clearly that there were other Shu soldiers nearby——
"No, it's those Xishu deserters whose morale collapsed during the previous breakout! Qingfeng, Qingfeng... this is a counter-suppression plan!"
Turning his head, Jiang Meng did not dare to delay any longer and immediately organized his men to prepare to form a formation to resist. But everything happened too fast. Moreover, there were still a large number of people trapped in the swamp. In addition, there were Shu troops fighting nearby, making it impossible to escape for a while.
"Where's Zhao Cheng! Damn Zhao Cheng, why hasn't he come over yet!"
"Chen Shuiguan was on fire. General Zhao Cheng... probably feared an ambush and did not rush into the city gate."
"I've fallen into a trap!" Jiang Meng's voice was anxious. He was on all precautions, but unexpectedly, Qingfeng launched a counterattack when he was most likely to be wiped out.
"Array of circular characters——"
"Gentlemen, the little strategist has arrived and will soon lead an army to rescue us!"
At this point, Jiang Meng could only try his best to boost the morale of this wave. No matter what, what he has to do is to block Qingfeng and hold him back until the little military counselor brings his people over, and he will still win.
…
"Bow bow——"
"Roar!"
At this time, the Shu soldiers, who had been oppressed for many days, were all red-eyed and began to attack from front to back, killing and killing the Beiyu East Route Army who was in crisis in the swamp.
If there was no swamp and the numbers were equal, Jiang Meng would still have a chance to withstand Xi Shu's offensive with his own ability. But now, the emergence of this swamp has undoubtedly transferred all the advantages of time and place to the Xishu side.
Huang Daochong coughed, raised his eyes, and stared at the Beiyu East Route Army that was being counterattacked in front.
As long as the time difference between Zhao Cheng's entry into the city is staggered, then killing the famous general Jiang Meng is not just a long-cherished wish, it is impossible to say that he can actually kill him here!
