"You know Zhu Zirong from Yanzhou!" In front of a hurried bow cavalry, there was a Beiyu general covered in Zha armor, raising his head and roaring.
His name is Zhu Zirong, a native of Yanzhou. When the Gongsun family was in Yanzhou, he had no ambitions and was just a bow cavalry captain. But later, due to the recommendation of the sheepherder Xun Pingzi, the King of Beiyu was promoted unexpectedly, and he was named a general.
Serving Beiyu is the greatest wish of his life as a cavalry archer.
"Yanzhou bow cavalry, raise your bow!"
Yanzhou has strong folk customs and is a world-famous horse breeding land. Many people have been with horses since they were young.
When Gongsun Zu chose a bow rider, the minimum requirement was to hit three out of twelve targets during riding. If he was lower than this, he would not accept it, no matter how familiar he was with equestrian skills.
Chang Shilang captured Yanzhou and followed this rule, plus the tens of thousands of Rouran horse slaves brought back, to select 20,000 bow cavalry.
At this time, under Zhu Zirong's order, the Beiyu cavalry archers in Zha armor spread their short bows on their horses. After a while, a group of whistling flying arrows swept past.
The Xishu cavalry camp on the flank was temporarily outnumbered, and someone quickly fell off his horse and died, unable to stop them.
Xu Mu kept watching coldly.
Not only he, but also Dongfang Jing had been paying attention to the matter of the bow cavalry, but they never thought that Chang Sheng would deliberately dispatch the bow cavalry at this time.
The biggest function of horse shooting is mobility and harassment. If these people are allowed to approach Dayuan Pass, I'm afraid Dongfang Jing will be under even more pressure.
Now, all we have to do is wait to see Chao Yi's Xishu Qingqi.
In the Beiyu formation, Chang Sheng's expression remained unchanged, and his eyes remained cold. He could only see clearly the battle situation ahead and no longer hesitated.
"Silver Halberd Guards, break the formation!"
"The little military advisor has ordered the Yezhou Silver Halberd Guards to go out!"
"kill!"
In Beiyu's large formation, thousands of elite infantry took advantage of the archers and cavalry on both sides to rush out. They quickly cooperated and roared out of the formation holding long halberds and wearing thick armor.
They were all strong men and had the fruits of hard training. In a short time, under the cover of flying arrows, they reached the shield formation of Xishu.
"Follow me into the formation!" shouted Hengji, a subordinate of the Silver Halberd Guard.
"Flag order, close range shooting!" Xu Mu looked coldly.
Under the flag order, Xishu's shield formation slowly loosened, and more than ten teams of Xishu's crossbow battalions quickly moved through the gaps in three columns, squatting in front, bowing in the middle, and standing in the back. The continuous crossbow arrows shot straight forward.
The range of the repeating crossbow is too short, but the power of shooting at close range is much heavier than that of a bow and arrow.
Hundreds of the Silver Halberd Guards in the front team fell in the blink of an eye.
But even so, they were still murderous. In the large shield camp in the front line of Xishu, people were stabbed to death from time to time and fell into a pool of blood.
"Liannu reserve battalion, prepare for the second round of close range shooting!"
…
Smoke filled the sky.
The top of the city of Dawan Pass was already ablaze.
The fire arrows thrown from the city kept making every corner of the city gates bright.
"Reserve camp, put out the fire with wet curtains!"
The Xishu guards at the top of the city, led by Chen Zhong, clung to the long wall and did not let Beiyu's strange army ascend first.
Dongfang Jing watched silently, lost in thought for a moment. The force of internal and external cooperation, which often defeats the hidden secrets, is no longer effective.
However, when the Beiyu Qi Army's accompanying army baggage arrives, I'm afraid the war will change.
On the front line outside the city gate, if I guessed correctly, my lord and Chang Sheng began to fight each other, both thinking that holding the other side back would be the biggest result. Little did they know that the backhand tactics of both sides made the whole war become more and more serious.
"Little strategist, how come this Beiyu people's strange army... is getting more and more numerous. Previously, Shen Tu Guan brought less than half of them."
Dongfang Jing nodded, "I guessed some of the information brought back by Long Bow. In order to surprise Dayuan Pass, Chang Sheng spent a lot of money."
"Little strategist, what should we do now?"
"Eat it."
"How to eat?" Li San'er thought he had heard wrongly. He was still fighting hard to defend the city, but his little military advisor said that he would eat this tens of thousands of Beiyu's strange troops.
"There are back-ups for always winning, and I have them too." Dongfang Jing said in a steady voice, "I often wonder whether the teacher's strange tricks back then were too dangerous. But sometimes, the most correct thing is to risk death and survive. . I told my lord earlier that I would eat this strange army from Northern Chongqing. I, Dongfang Jing, how can I not keep my word?"
In the night wind, the world-famous No. 1 counselor of Xishu looked up to the sky, his expression extremely solemn for a moment.
"San'er, push me to General Chen Zhong."
…
Outside Dawanguan City, there were crowds of people moving around, and the sound of killings was loud. The surprise attack of the Northern Chongqing Army, under the command of Shen Tuguan, continued to launch waves of strong attacks.
"General Shentu, the siege supplies have arrived, and the reserve battalion is also here!"
"Okay, okay!" Shen Tuguan, who was staring at the critical battle, heard this and couldn't hide the joy on his face.
"General Shentu, there is my Beiyu signal on the other side of the city gate!"
When another piece of good news came, Shen Tuguan let out a heavy sigh of relief. Previously, he was worried that his old friend's daughter would be exposed, but now it seems that nothing bad has happened.
"Quickly pass the order, while the small military advisor is holding back King Xu Shu's army, use all kinds of baggage and cooperate with the internal camp to attack the key point immediately!"
…
On the other side of Dawan Pass, a female general wearing robes and armor raised her head silently and looked at the city gate in front of her.
Behind her, there were thousands of soldiers, most of them wearing Beiyu robes and armor.
"Jiang, um... General Jiang, what do you think of this female thief?"
After hearing this sentence, the female general turned her head, revealing a heroic face, probably with a hint of displeasure.
"Why, is it so difficult to call me 'General Chiang'?"
"Miss Shangguan, please forgive me..." General Pi apologized hastily.
In front of him was not a female general from Beiyu, but a Shangguan girl who had put on general armor. According to the wishes of his little strategist, he is going to make a fortune right now.
The buzzing arrows just now were shot by Shu people like them.
At this time, Shangguan Yan held the knife and walked a few steps forward until he came to a woman wearing only an old robe.
"Mei Niang, how are you now?"
"Auntie is very clever." Jiang Xian raised her head, her eyes extremely cold.
"That's wrong, it's a good trick for my little military advisor. Come on, please take this thief away first, and then punish him after the battle is over. There is no chance that he will be able to get some intel on him."
No longer looking at Jiang Xian, Shangguan Yan organized himself, led his soldiers, and prepared to follow the secret orders of the little military advisor to deceive the enemy.
Jiang Xian was in agony. While being pushed by the Shu soldiers, she looked at the Shangguan girl in front of her and started to run towards Dayuan Pass with Yi Jia's soldiers.
For just a moment, her eyes were suddenly filled with sadness.
The lame strategist of Xishu is going to use Yi Jia's poisonous tactics to deal with Shen Tuguan of Qi Army.
