In Huzhou, the snowy roads are vast.
At this time, an army of 30,000 people was rushing towards Lizhou through the snow at the fastest speed.
"Hurry up, hurry up!" As the commander-in-chief of the Northern Route Army, Huang Zhizhou's face was heavy and he kept urging his troops to rush forward.
"General Huang, don't be anxious, there's no guarantee that things won't get worse." A familiar general spoke consolingly.
Unexpectedly, Huang Zhizhou raised his head and his voice became deep.
"You don't understand. The little military advisor who was kind to me is now trapped in the south. The sheepherder military advisor, as well as General Shentu, went to save him. I, Huang Zhizhou, am now a heavy general in Beiyu. How can I It can delay military planes!”
"General Huang... great righteousness."
"Those damn Shu people, if they hurt my ever-victorious military advisor, I, Huang Zhizhou, will never let these people go! Tell me how far we are still!"
"Don't blame General Huang, the snowy road is difficult, but I estimate that we can arrive in about four days. In addition, General Huang, the soldiers have been traveling in the snowy winter for two days. If not, we need to rest first. There happens to be a town that can be used as a refuge from the cold.”
Riding on the horse, Huang Zhizhou looked around, and finally closed his eyes bitterly.
"Remember my general's words, rest for only two hours, drink a bowl of hot soup to warm you up, and then march on your way immediately."
"Thank you, General Huang!"
Not far away, the 30,000-strong Northern Route Army arrived at a small town and immediately entered the city to escape the cold.
Standing at the top of the city, as the coach, Huang Zhizhou still had an anxious look on his face.
"General Huang, have a bowl of hot soup."
Huang Zhizhou sighed and took the hot soup, but only took two sips and put it aside.
"General, there must be something on your mind."
"Zhao Wei, I'll tell you the truth, I'm worried about Chang Sheng's little military advisor."
"The ever-victorious little military commander is blessed with good luck and destiny. He also had the great achievement of killing Qingfeng before. God will help him."
Huang Zhizhou was silent and didn't answer for a long time.
"What's wrong, General?"
"Zhao Wei, this area was originally a place where rebels were entrenched."
"General Huang, I know this. The rebels were strong before, but now they have been slowly eliminated."
"There must be rebels hiding there. Zhao Wei, among the 30,000 Northern Route Army troops, apart from me, you have the largest general position."
"General Huang, why are you acting strange?"
"Just kidding."
Huang Zhizhou turned around and looked at the few close guards behind him. The personal guards raised their heads and waited seriously for Huang Zhizhou's orders.
"Zhao Wei, you and I have known each other for a long time. Can you lend me something?"
"What does General Huang want to borrow?"
"My head!" In the flash of lightning, Huang Zhizhou quickly drew his sword and stabbed it into Zhao Wei's chest. Zhao Wei was horrified and wanted to shout. Unexpectedly, Huang Zhizhou covered his mouth tightly.
Many of the guards nearby looked calmly and began to look at their surroundings.
"Three times, you have made rude remarks."
Huang Zhizhou looked coldly, watching Zhao Wei die with his eyes bulging, and then slowly pulled out his sword. But the blood-stained sword was not sheathed, but was lifted up again——
Huang Zhizhou smiled calmly and stabbed his shoulder expressionlessly.
"Go and deliver the order. General Zhao Wei and I entered the town and were ambushed by rebel assassins. General Zhao Wei died in the battle, and I, Huang Zhizhou, was also seriously injured. Remember, at night, send someone to pretend to be an assassin again."
"If anyone asks, they will say that it was Zhao Wei who proposed to go to the town to rest."
…
"Continue the attack——"
In Hongshan Ridge outside Lizhou, the war is still raging.
At this time, more than 2,000 to 3,000 Xishu soldiers from the five battalions had been killed in battle, and four or five of the more than ten sword carts had been destroyed. But now, only one day has passed.
It can be seen that it is very difficult to stop an army of fifty or sixty thousand with five battalions and no city gates to defend it.
"General Wei, it's getting dark."
"The snowy ground is as white as day. If the guess is correct, the Beiyu people will continue to attack at night." Wei Liang said with a stern face. That Shentu Guan was worthy of being a famous general in the world, and the formation of swords and chariots was about to be broken by him.
If we continue to fight like this, all five battalions will be wiped out in less than two days.
"Abandon the sword-carriage formation and use the tail-biting method to hold back the Beiyu army." Wei Liang made a quick decision.
Biting the tail means taking advantage of the nearby terrain to constantly hide and fight out, delaying the time for the Beiyu army to turn back.
"Also, how is the situation at the rear?"
"Continue to water it, and it should be successful in half a day."
"Very good." Wei Liang breathed out.
There is no city gate garrison in the area near Hongshan Ridge. The knife-car formation is just the first step. Next, following the layout of the small military division is the most important line of defense.
That's why Wei Liang dared to abandon the sword-carriage formation and first use his tail to hold back the enemy.
…
"General Shentu, the Shu people's sword and chariot formation has been broken!"
After listening to the scout's words, Shen Tu Guan was not very happy at this time. Instead, he felt that these Shu people might not have any next steps. Otherwise, according to the Shu people's temperament, they will definitely fight to the death.
But now, I can't care so much. If the consumption continues, I am afraid that Dawan Pass will be destroyed.
"The entire army breaks through and marches to Dawan Pass!"
He couldn't guarantee whether Huang Zhizhou of the Northern Route Army would arrive in time. But what we have to do now is to protect Dayuan Pass and Lizhou at all costs.
Not far away, the sheepherders on the snow were equally worried. Probably because the temperature was too cold, I couldn't help but cough again.
Like Shen Tu Guan, he did not believe that the Shu people would retreat so easily. Since the lame man has laid out the plan, he will block their return.
"March, be careful of Shu people biting your tail——"
As soon as the sheepherder finished speaking, as expected, the sound of fighting suddenly came from the long queue at the rear.
When the shepherd turned around and looked into the distance, he saw hundreds of soldiers lying in a pool of blood. The Shu people, who were fighting fiercely, quickly retreated.
The shepherd was trembling with anger.
"On the two wings and the rear wing, separate five battalions of troops. Be careful."
In this way, the speed of the march will inevitably be affected. But no matter what, if the Shu people continue to ambush, their morale will collapse.
Of course, there is another option, to turn around and kill all the Shu people... But in this case, there is no way to rescue Dayuan Pass.
"Military advisor, even if a lame man wants to tackle a key problem, it won't be that easy." Shen Tuguan walked over, with a hint of exhaustion in his voice.
This tenacious Shu soldiers caused them great trouble. Fortunately, although the movement was a little slower, it seemed to be getting closer to Dayuan Pass anyway.
The sky was bright again, and the glare of the snow suddenly hurt people's eyes. The tail-biting Shu man seemed to have stopped moving for several hours.
"Don't worry, even if they go around to the front, without the sword and chariot formation, they can't stop our Beiyu army." Shen Tuguan looked at the sheepherder and comforted him.
At this time, under the snowy light ahead, several Beiyu scouts came back in a hurry. As soon as he opened his mouth, the shepherd, who was still a little surprised, was so excited that he almost fainted.
"Military advisor, General Shentu, at the only passage ahead, the Shu people relied on the snow and winter to use wood and water to form a wall!"
