Xu Mu turned his gaze sideways, and the red clouds on the horizon dyed the whole world blood red.
"King Shu, what should we do now?" Zhao Dong, the son of Jiaozhou King Zhao Di, came over in shock, "Then King Beiyu is here, and he brings many people with him. If he cooperates with Chang Sheng, and there is Shentu behind him. The crowned men and horses..."
"Zhao Dong, don't be anxious, I have a plan." Xu Mu withdrew his gaze and comforted him. He knew very well that if there was a real defeat in the first battle of spring, not only the five states in the South China Sea, but also the vassal countries in the Western Regions would lose confidence in the team of Xi Shu.
After all, friendship is friendship, these people are more like an investment bet. It's not like Lao Huang, who is willing to trap the entire clan on this big ship in Xishu.
"Instruct the whole army to switch from offense to defense first. The cavalry battalions on the outer flanks and the shield battalions guarding the troops should withdraw to their own formations first." There was not much panic in Xu Mu's voice.
Not long after, one by one, the assistant generals passed on the general's orders. The reserve battalions originally in the formation also began to move forward to increase their defenses.
"Brother Mu, I'm back!" Throwing a human head on the ground, Si Hu was shaking with anger, "What's wrong? I've heard it all, the rice seller and that boy Chang Wei are really going to fight this time Already?"
Xu Mu nodded and said nothing.
The battlefield of fighting for deer is originally a matter of life and death. Both he and Chang Laosi understand this. Since there is no way to avoid it, we can only fight for victory with our fists.
"Han Xing, do you have any suggestions?"
Xiaoxiao Fu thought for a while, "There is nothing wrong with the strategy that my lord has decided. Once the King of Beiyu comes out, he should be the last resort for victory. But my lord, don't forget that the little military advisor of the East also holds a large number of troops." Move. He had considered this earlier. For the current plan, we can only set up a defensive line, then look for opportunities, and then cooperate with the Eastern little strategist to win the battle."
"Nothing wrong."
Looking up, through the fighting in the formation, he could vaguely see Beiyu's Changziwang Banner, and Xu Mu's face also showed an aura of conquest.
…
"My king enters the battle!"
When we got close to the battlefield, not long after, outside the main formation of Xishu, people from Beiyu were shouting from all directions.
Chang Shiro's eyes were solemn, and he suddenly turned his head and kicked Chang Wei, who was still muttering next to him.
He has long understood that no matter what the fate of him and his little boss is, in this world, each of them has a mission, and one person must win in the end to end this long-term turbulent world.
"Go and tell Chang Sheng's military advisor to prepare for a strong attack."
"Lord's order!"
Several Beiyu scouts rode out in a hurry.
"Formation."
"My lord has an order, the army must form a formation quickly!"
A group of messengers on horseback began to run around telling each other.
Tsuneshiro raised his head silently. This time, he agreed to Chang Sheng's suggestion and took more than 80,000 troops to wait for the opportunity. Looking at it now, my brother's abilities seem to be better than last year.
If we can defeat the army of Western Shu here, this troubled world may be settled in a short time.
The main formation of Xishu at this time.
Also following Xu Mu's orders, they began to switch from offense to defense. Shu soldiers from all directions were prepared for a tough battle.
Xu Mu drew out the Laoguan Sword and stared coldly ahead. He understood very well what it would mean if the formation was defeated at this time.
Of course, he knew better. Dongfang Jing gave up chasing Shen Tu Guan at night and chose to stand still, guessing that he had already figured this out.
Now, the military forces of both sides are fully involved in the battlefield.
"My lord, the Beiyu people who attacked the formation retreated just now."
Xu Mu smiled lightly, "It's not to retreat, but to cooperate with the King of Beiyu to prepare for a new round of attack."
As Xu Mu expected, only a while later, roars could be heard from behind Beiyu's formation. Accompanied by bursts of projectiles, they continued to pass overhead, covering the infantry's charge.
"Be careful of Beiyu people's flying arrows!"
The flying arrows intertwined into a web, making the originally bright sky seem to suddenly darken again.
Turning from attack to defense, the enemy's formation was not charged, and Xi Shu's flying arrows did not return fire. After waiting for a few formations of Beiyu flying arrows, I heard the Beiyu people rushing to kill them.
One by one, Xi Shu Pi generals commanded their troops, followed the direction of the charge, and threw the flying arrows.
"Brother Mu, I'm going to beat up that rice seller! Even little Chang Wei!" Si Hu shouted anxiously.
"Don't be anxious." Xu Mu remained calm. What he has to do now is to wait for the reinforcements from Dongfang Jing, and then wait for the opportunity to defeat Beiyu.
"Raise the bamboo curtain!"
In addition to the shield formation, in the main formation of the Chinese army, the bamboo-curtained carts pushed over were like giant birds with open wings, blocking flying arrows and tightly protecting the soldiers of Xishu under their wings.
"Lord, we are approaching!" Gou Fu said coldly, standing nearby.
Xu Mu nodded silently. Not long after, the sound of two armies fighting suddenly rang in my ears.
…
Under Dawan Pass.
Dongfang Jing, who was sitting on the wooden wheel cart, calmly raised his head. Behind him, a large number of people gathered and were ready.
Among them were Chao Yi's 30,000 light cavalry and Shangguan Shu's nearly 20,000 rebel troops. Of course, there are the other two elites.
Last night, Shen Tuguan escaped from Dayuan Pass, and many people advised him not to go out to pursue him. But he didn't do that and chose safety first. The most important consideration is to protect the main formation of one's own lord.
If not, if you enter the game too early, you won't be able to serve as a reinforcement force. But no matter what, Chang Sheng's plan this time really impressed him.
"Dongfang Military Advisor, everything is ready."
Dongfang Jing nodded, turned his gaze and looked at Chen Zhong next to him.
"Chen Zhong, there are still thousands of troops in the city gate. No matter what happens, don't leave the city."
"Little strategist, if you always win, there will be a surprise attack..."
Dongfang Jing smiled bitterly, "He really has such a clever plan, and I can't do anything about it. Don't worry, his last reliance at this time is the support army of the King of Beiyu. What he wants to do is to attack Dawan in a surprise attack Pass, but unable to succeed, we can only fight one more round and try our best to break through the lord's formation."
"But this time, it's up to me, Dongfang Jing, to personally smash his plan."
Dongfang Jing's voice was calm, and he said two words lightly without hesitation.
"Mount the army."
Although the voice was calm, at this time, around him, many generals and staff members of Xishu had murderous intent on their faces.
"The military advisor has ordered us to send out troops!"
Not long after, outside Dawan Pass, a large army of soldiers and horses gathered and began to rush to the front line of the battlefield.
…
In the south direction of Dawan Pass.
"Wear armor!"
Wei Feng stretched out his hand, took the face-covering helmet from the auxiliary army, and put it on his head coldly. Behind him, the three thousand Xishu heavy cavalrymen all made the same move.
"Xishu!" After putting on his armor, Wei Feng shouted angrily.
"Xishu, Xishu!!"
Suddenly, there were also shouts near him.
…
