In the camp, Chang Shiro was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly, he heard another sentence from his brother.
"Brother's rice-selling army, can you lend me a round?"
Pausing, Tsuneshiro turned around.
"Why?"
"To deal with the heavy cavalry of Xishu, we need to choose from thousands of people."
"Can."
Changshiro laughed and stepped forward to leave.
Chang Sheng breathed out and sat down silently. Yan Pi next to him hurriedly handed over the water bag.
"Little strategist, it's okay. Even if a lame person comes over, we will still have an advantage."
Chang Sheng shook his head, "This is different. Once the lame man comes, it is impossible to surround King Xu Shu's main formation. Moreover, I have always been worried that the lame man has hidden tricks. I have lost the opportunity. , and the lame man took control of the battle, and I, Beiyu, have already seen the decline."
"Little strategist, didn't you just find a way to defeat the heavy cavalry?"
Chang Sheng sighed, "The war continues to be victorious, but it is just a stop-gap statement. Of course, there is nothing wrong with the method I said, but in fact it is very difficult to do it. This is why I need the elite of the Lord's rice-selling army as a Break the foundation of heavy cavalry.”
Yan Pi, who was beside him, also became silent.
"Now, I, Beiyu, have only one way to stabilize the war in Lizhou. To trap the Western Shu army here for a little longer, so that I can start preparations, either to defeat the heavy cavalry, or to capture Dayuan Pass again."
Chang Sheng frowned and stood up again.
"Yan Pi, send an order to Shentu Guan for me. Tell him that there is no need to follow the offensive formation. We will use these tens of thousands of troops to hold back the lame army for at least three days. Even if we cannot break the formation, then I will kill him Cut off a section of Western Shu's army."
On the battlefield of attack.
Shen Tu Guan, whose face was stained with blood, became silent after receiving the Chang Sheng military order. He lost two battles, both to the lame man, which gave him a big blow invisibly.
As of now, he has less than 30,000 people left under his command. As for Xi Shu's reinforcements, they were not only composed of lame men, but also numbered 60,000 to 70,000 troops. In the nearby area, there is no terrain to garrison.
"The little military advisor said that when the time comes, the 5,000-man battalion that your brother Shentu left and the more than 10,000-man cavalry camp that returned from Yuchiding will also be dispatched by General Shentu and be reorganized into the West Route Army. Please also ask General Shentu. Try your best to hold off the lame reinforcements for at least three days."
Shen Tu Guan stands facing the wind.
In the first battle of the spring, he made no achievements. He failed to attack the city and was blocked when returning to the army. Now he cooperates with the Xishu formation to attack, but there is no breakthrough.
"The little military advisor also said that everyone in the world seems to have forgotten that I, General Shentu of Beiyu, is a famous general."
With this sentence, Shen Tu Guan, who was originally a little tired, slowly regained his composure in his raised face. He stretched out his hand and calmly took the command flag.
…
"How far is it?" On the carriage, Dongfang Jing frowned slightly.
"Little military advisor, we are only seven or eight miles away. The Lord's side is still holding on to the formation. Beiyu's additional troops cannot break through."
Dongfang Jing nodded, "Give me the order. When we get close to the formation, we will cooperate with the Lord to repel the Beiyu people first. In addition, tell Chao Yi to lead the cavalry to follow the guerrillas and beware of a second interception by the Beiyu people."
"Military advisor, where are General Wei Feng's heavy cavalry?"
"Don't move for the moment." Dongfang Jing thought for a while, "This time, the heavy cavalry has performed a remarkable feat, which has aroused Chang Sheng's caution. He must be on guard. According to what the lord said, the most important thing for our heavy cavalry in Western Shu is The power comes from surprise. Therefore, if you keep using it, it may not be a good thing."
The guard seemed to understand, so he took the order and walked back. Unexpectedly, he came back soon.
"Little strategist, the scouts at the front have reported that Beiyu Shentu Guan, along with his troops, is ready to prepare."
"Shentu Guan?"
Dongfang Jing looked thoughtful. After losing two games in a row, this famous general from Beiyu actually led his troops to fight again.
…
Standing in the wind and under the flag, Shen Tu Guan raised his head slightly and looked at the figure in front of him.
According to the urgent order of his little military advisor, he was going to hold the lame man from Xishu here for at least three days. Although there was not much difference in the strength of the troops, what was helpless was that their morale was shattered one after another, and there were no gates to garrison, and the lame men who were stationed at the reinforcements were carrying the power of victory.
No matter who looks at it, this is a difficult thing. But in the whole of Beiyu, after Jiang Meng died in battle, it seemed that he was the only one left, the last general of the army.
"Brother, the Shu people are here!" Shen Tujiu rushed back, his face full of anger. Like his cousin Shen Tuguan, he was teased many times by the Shu people in the past two years. He wanted revenge more than his cousin.
"Where is Yuchiding?" Shen Tuguan said in a deep voice.
"We've arrived, just waiting for brother's order."
Shen Tu Guan closed his eyes. The lowered hand was pressed tightly on the saber. It reminded him of that year, when he was a family general, he followed the old King Yuan on his first expedition. At that time, he was only a young man, but he was entrusted with an important task. With two thousand masked troops, he blocked the eight thousand imperial guards, allowing the old king of Yuan to successfully rebel and occupy Changyang.
Later, he followed the old King Yuan into Donglai. He was also unstoppable. With a strange army, he defeated Zuo Shiren's tens of thousands of troops in Dongling and lost his armor.
Shen Tu Guan opened his eyes, his face becoming as sinking as water.
The Shentu clan's ancient formations should make the whole world tremble at their feet.
"Call the whole army to raise the flag as an order. I, Shentu Guan's old troops, should remind my colleagues to raise the formation to defend against the enemy!"
"The first formation, circular formation, sparse!"
"Beat the tom!"
The thumping sound of the tom made Dongfang Jing, who rushed over, feel a little cold on his face.
He knew that no matter whether he was a famous general or a great strategist, when it came to formations, no one in the world could surpass Shentu Guan. Now, with the open, flat terrain in front of them, it was extremely easy to set up and change formations.
"Little strategist, he retreated hastily earlier——"
"Don't underestimate the enemy." Dongfang Jing interrupted the guard, "Shentu Guan has been famous for a long time, and a single defeat doesn't mean anything. At least in my heart, he is equal to a person who always wins."
To go to the front, we can only break the formation. If you choose to avoid or take a detour, you may fall into a pincer attack.
"Command the flag camp to prepare to follow our military orders to form an array. Unfortunately, Wei Xiaowu was seriously injured. Otherwise, it would be best to let him act as the flag camp general."
After getting out of the carriage, Dongfang Jingfu sat on the wooden wheel cart. He also ordered people to build a simple platform, climbed on the stage and looked into the distance.
It was already less than ten miles away from the battlefield ahead.
But at this time, Shen Tuguan, who was blocking his way, had formed a large formation to block his way. There was almost no need to guess, Dongfang Jing knew that Shen Tu Guan was going to fight back just to cooperate with Chang Sheng.
"San'er, please invite General Lu Zhong over first."
Lu Zhong is Lu Xiu’s younger brother. At first glance, he looks young, but in fact, he has a very calm temperament, quite like his older brother.
After thinking about it, Dongfang Jing had already planned that this time the formation would be in Luzhong. Although Shen Tuguan is difficult to deal with, no matter what, he must break through and cooperate with his lord to win the first battle of spring.
