"It's night." Dongfang Jing said calmly while sitting on the top of the city of Dawan Pass. After hearing the intelligence from the front line, he slowly figured out Chang Sheng's idea.
It was nothing more than using a surprise attack to capture Dawan Pass in one fell swoop.
It was clear that the Western Shu army was stationed here, and it was clear that he, a lame man, was still sitting on the city wall. But it happened that Chang Sheng was still willing to take risks. That is to say, there is a great confidence.
It's hard to say that this night will be the best help for victory.
Withdrawing his thoughts, Dongfang Jing sat quietly for a while. Sure enough, a guard came hurriedly.
"Military advisor, something bad happened. For some reason, a fire broke out in the area behind Dayuan Pass. The people's camp was intercepted and killed again, and some people even spread rumors that the Beiyu army had broken through Dayuan Pass, which shocked many people and refugees. Head towards the front gate of Dawan Pass and flee in a hurry."
Just listening, Dongfang Jing still looked calm, without the slightest hint of panic. He had found out earlier that a female spy had sneaked into the city. If you want to pull it out, it is easy.
But he didn't. Keeping these people and this craftsman would allow Chang Sheng to proceed as planned. And his method is to catch them all in one go after the victorious surprise attack.
"Military advisor, what should we do now?"
Dongfang Jing's voice was calm, without any ups and downs, "Don't worry, I will send someone over. San'er, please pass the order for me and ask a few city guards to come see me quickly."
Guard Li San'er nodded and just walked towards the city wall, but suddenly ran back again with joy on his face.
"Little strategist, General Longbow is back!"
…
"It's already dark." Chang Sheng, who was riding a horse outside Dawan Pass, said with a hint of expectation in his voice.
"Military advisor, the spies are here to report that there are no less than ten fires in Dayuan Pass!" Yan Pi walked from the side, also unable to contain his excitement.
As long as the plan is successful, it is impossible to say that the entire Dawan Pass can be conquered.
Chang Sheng closed his eyes, opened them again, and quickly glanced at the north direction of the flat terrain. At this moment, he no longer hesitated.
"Pass the order from my military advisor to attack with the entire army and defeat the Western Shu army!"
"Flag order, attack with the entire army!"
…
Under the command of the ever-victorious army, even at night, at this time, countless vast Beiyu troops roared and followed the headquarters square formation and quickly pressed forward.
"attack!"
The flames of war ignited under the night instantly burned the entire world.
Surrounded by the Western Shu army, Xu Mu, who was wearing a battle armor, raised his head silently, not afraid, but with a smile that was not easy to detect.
All developments were similar to Dongfang Jing's prediction. Chang Sheng, Chang Sheng, a person whose growth and thoughts are extremely terrifying. Even if this is the case, it is impossible to climb the high mountain of "lifelong enemy" Dongfang Jing.
"Lord, the people from Beiyu are coming to kill us."
Chen Zhong, who was accompanying the army, hurried over. He somewhat understood how the Beiyu army, which was still like dead dogs in the daytime, suddenly became fierce at night, and the army pressed forward, fighting to the death.
"I know." Xu Mu paused. Undoubtedly, what Chang Sheng wanted to do was to hold back their army, which was facing them head-on, so that the hidden surprise troops and the internal troops who were cooperating inside and outside could launch a surprise attack and seize the opportunity to seize Dayuan Pass.
When calculated in detail, this strategy is extremely terrifying. In other words, if the victory is successful, the Dayuan Pass will be captured in a surprise attack. Then, the 60,000 to 70,000 troops he brought out would be blocked outside the city gate. As a result, neither Dingzhou nor the entire northwest would be able to send long-term reinforcements.
After all, at that time, Dawan Pass was a huge blocking wall, blocking the Shu troops on both sides of the city pass.
But Dongfang Jing's use of strength is even more subtle. Since Chang Sheng will hold them back, then conversely, this Shu army will also hold back the Beiyu army. Dongfang Jing, on the other hand, had his hands free, and he used his plan to defeat the Tibetan army that was about to attack by surprise, ushering in the first great victory of the spring in Xishu.
It is even said that if Xiaofu's two wings succeed in outflanking them, they can turn the Beiyu troops in front of them upside down.
The trend of war is nothing more than the means of all parties to fight to the death.
After thinking this, Xu Mu no longer hesitated, turned his head and glanced at the troops behind him.
"Pass this king's military order, the army of Western Shu will fully engage the people of Beiyu!"
“Blow the drums and blow the trumpets!”
"The people of Beiyu should know that our aspirations as people of Shu can move mountains and stir up seas!"
"Everyone, please kill—"
At first glance, the two sides seemed to be dead, but as night fell, the first round of crazy fighting finally started.
The flying arrows were flying towards the head, and with a whistling sound that broke through the air, they kept throwing down the opponent's enemy formation. The push crossbow emerged from the gap in the front formation. The cold iron crossbow arrows only waited for three or four soldiers to unstring them, and with a harsh owl sound, they were shot out instantly.
"Stabilize the shield formation!"
Everyone had casualties. After four or five rounds of shooting at each other, during the pause, the two wings of infantry separated from the shield formation, like two giant snakes swimming in the dark night, began to carry swords and round shields. Roaring and rushing towards the enemy formation.
The white armor from Xishu and the black armor from Beiyu quickly fought together.
"Ride the camp, ride the camp! Prepare to charge in a roundabout way!" More than a hundred horse-riding lieutenants, carrying military orders, were constantly running back and forth on both sides of the formation, telling each other.
"Shu people level the gun!"
The person commanding the cavalry camp is not Chao Yi. On the left is Xiyu Louzhu, on the right is Wei Xiaowu, and several descendants of Xishu. Each with more than 6,000 cavalry, ready to charge.
"Beiyu Cavalry Formation, run over!" The Beiyu Formation on the opposite side was also not to be outdone. Shentu and another Beiyu general also led the cavalry camp, lowered their swords, and were about to fight to the death.
"kill--"
Sitting on the horse, looking at the battle ahead, Xu Mu looked cold. The flying arrows covering the top of the head were thrown towards the enemy formation again after only a moment.
"Han Xing, what do you think?"
Next to Xu Mu, the little dog Fu, wearing a general's robe and armor, approached steadily. According to Xu Mu and Dongfang Jing's considerations, in the long-term battlefield in the future, Xiaoxiao Fuxian will participate in the battle as a nameless person, but in fact, he will be the strategist in charge of the long-term battlefield, catching Beiyu by surprise.
Puppy Fu clasped his hands and clasped his fists, and then spoke after being silent.
"My lord, there are two types. If the Eastern Military Advisor succeeds, with the planned strategy, the second wave of General Chao Yi's cavalry camp will no longer have any worries and can immediately send out troops to outflank it. On the contrary, if things are unlucky, let the cavalry camp just now be The cavalry camp out of the battle will be used as a rear guard to cover the retreat of the lord and the army. I believe that no matter what, the Eastern Military Advisor will help the lord leave a way out."
"You finally...have the grace of a master."
The young Xiao Pi will raise his face and speak loudly.
"The great cause is the most important thing. If the Lord is here, Western Shu will be there, and the Shu people's desire to compete for the deer will be there."
