"Fourth brother, be careful!" Wu Zhen shouted anxiously, raising his sword to block the arrows, like the best brother in the world, standing in front of Duan Muchou.
After waiting for the bow to rest, but before the second shot was fired, Wu Zhen hurriedly urged the men and horses to move forward quickly. But under the muddy road, the horsepower was frequently hampered for a while.
"Third brother, you can't get out!" At this moment, Duan Muchou's voice sounded a little panicked.
Wu Zhen also gritted his teeth.
Behind them, the screams of soldiers falling from their horses continued to sound. The Shu people laid an ambush and used the tactic of arrogance to lure them here.
That damn Xishu young general was like a bait, holding them back.
Wu Zhen exhaled and forced himself to calm down.
"Fourth brother, for the present method, we can only leave people behind so that we can have a chance of survival."
"Duanhou Camp... Third brother, you and I have been in charge of the Cavalry Camp for a short time. We have been tricked again and again. I'm afraid we have lost our military morale——"
"I have a way." Wu Zhen said in a deep voice, "Wait a moment, you must follow me closely. You must remember that a gentleman's revenge is never too late in ten years. If we can return to our main camp, you and I still have a chance. "
"Third brother..."
"Don't cry, my fourth brother is a good man."
Wu Zhen turned his eyes sideways, and quickly observed the surrounding terrain amidst the second roar of bows. After watching for about seven or eight minutes, he raised his sword and shouted with a trembling voice.
"Louzi camp listens to the order, the ambush troops in the north are just empty troops, rush out from the north, we can return to the Beiyu camp!"
When the military order was passed, at this time, the two to three thousand Beiyu cavalrymen at the Louzi camp closest to the north suddenly became excited. Without thinking deeply, they all picked up the reins and ran towards the north.
Wu Zhen turned around with difficulty and spoke again.
"The rest of you, follow me to break out from the south! Kill the bleeding path quickly!"
"Fourth brother, follow me quickly!"
…
"Abandoning the car to protect the commander, you can be so decisive." In the ambush, Chen Zhong frowned, then turned his head and looked at Wei Xiaowu next to him.
"Xiaowu, what do you think?"
Wei Xiaowu thought for a while and said, "General Chen, the Beiyu people's horse hoof maneuvers were blocked. Instead, our Xishu cavalry camp began to make circuitous preparations from the flat terrain on both wings. I think the little military advisor meant to use these six Seven cavalry of Beiyu cavalry, used as bait, kept catching big fish.”
Chen Zhong listened with satisfaction on his face.
"Among the younger generations of Xishu, you, Wei Xiaowu, are quite extraordinary."
Wei Xiaowu didn't dare to raise his eyebrows, so he hurriedly bowed and clasped his fists.
"At this moment, we will make preparations and prepare to outflank them, just waiting for the big fish to be caught."
"General Chen, what if the people of Beiyu don't save you? You must know that the victorious military advisor is such a wise man that he may not be fooled."
"If we don't save them, just kill them and we'll get back our money."
Wei Xiaowu nodded solemnly.
To the north of the ambush, the two to three thousand Beiyu cavalrymen who were tricked into cutting off their rear were unable to break through and did not hold out for long. One after another, they fell off their horses and fell to the ground.
And in the direction to the south——
Wu Zhen and Duan Muchou, with their remaining four to five thousand cavalry, desperately wanted to break out of the encirclement. It's a pity that the road is muddy and the horse power is too slow to form a running momentum.
"Third brother, I don't accept it!" Up to now, he was not out of crisis yet, but Duan Muchou's face showed unwilling rage.
That damn Xishu young general, this was the third time he had been humiliated. But in this situation, he couldn't kill the enemy thief with his own hands.
"Fourth brother, be more cautious and keep the green hills!" Wu Zhen advised, his expression full of worry. He just felt that now he was like an old dog with its tail clipped, running away in a panic. If I go slower, I'm afraid I'll have to stay here forever.
Seriously speaking, the trick of the young Shu general was not too clever. It's a pity that his fourth brother... fell into the trap. And he also followed and killed him.
Looking up into the distance, under the dawn, the wet refraction around him made his eyes hurt.
He suddenly understood that under this kind of encirclement and suppression, Beiyu's camp army... might not necessarily put themselves in danger. You must know that if you do this, you will fall into the enemy's trap.
"Third brother, third brother?"
Two anxious shouts disrupted Wu Zhen's thoughts.
"Don't blame me, fourth brother. I just had a migraine." Wu Zhen became serious again, holding the knife and following the safest passage.
"Fourth brother, leave quickly!"
With his men and horses, Wu Zhen identified a direction, and quickly fled forward without hesitation.
Wu Zhen didn't notice him as he ran away with his tail between his legs. Behind the escape point, not too far away, a mighty Xishu cavalry team was waiting in full formation.
…
"Bo Lie, will Chang Sheng send someone here?" Xu Mu said seriously as Dawan closed the door.
"It's hard to say." Dongfang Jing thought for a while and said, "The two young generals from Beiyu, no matter what, do not have enough weight in Chang Sheng's heart. Fortunately, these two are the third and fourth sons of Wuliang in Hebei, and Chang Sheng Sheng must reuse the younger generation, and Hebei Wuliang is the best, so there is no chance that things will turn around."
"Have you noticed, my lord, Chang Sheng is the kind of person who becomes more courageous the more he loses. Until now, it has been difficult for me to guess his thoughts."
Xu Mu nodded as he listened.
He finally understood why Lao Zhongde and even Chang Silang wanted Chang Sheng to be the chief military advisor in such a big Beiyu. Such a person, given another ten years, will probably become as wise as a demon.
"My lord, you need to be more careful." Dongfang Jing was silent for a while and continued, "With his temperament of always winning, he will like to use others' strength to fight against others. Just like this time, he may also lay a counter-plan on the encirclement and suppression. Of course, I will watch every step he takes, and if there is anything wrong, I will remind the lord."
"There's Robert."
Behind Xu Mu and Dongfang Jing, the puppy Fu stood obediently, without any overstep. He only waited for the two people in front of him to stop talking before he stepped out and spoke seriously.
"My lord, little strategist, in four or five days, the snow will slowly melt away. By then, a big war may begin."
What Little Dog Fu said made Xu Mu and Dongfang Jing next to him nod silently.
It probably means that what happened this time will undoubtedly become the trigger for an early war. But it is naturally a good thing to weaken Beiyu's armaments. If Chang Sheng is in the trap, this year's Lizhou War will probably get off to a great start.
"Longbow." Xu Mu turned around.
The bow dog in the back came over wearing a robe and armor, holding his fists firmly.
"In the four or five days after the snow melts, you put in some effort and lead your troops in the Lizhou area to personally investigate the movements of the Beiyu Army. Remember to be careful."
To investigate Beiyu's military strength, you must choose a general who can handle the important task. Undoubtedly, his clan brother is suitable.
"Lord, don't worry." Gongou clasped his fists seriously, turned around and walked into the morning glow.
