Xie Yu's words made the already cautious sheepherder become even more cautious.
Indeed, as Xie Yu said, there were many top counselors in the Western Shu regime. First there was Poisonous Owl, then there was Lame Man, there was also Qingfeng, and even Li Tao and Zhao Dun, both of them were considered to have good strategies.
Xun Pingzi had a sullen face.
"Pass my military order. The army will not move for the time being. Send eight thousand vanguard battalions to test the enemy's position."
The appearance of Xu Ziwang Banner cannot be explained. It is because King Xu Shu used a method of confusion and deliberately hid it around. If this is the case, if you enter rashly, you may fall into a trap.
Of course, Xun Pingzi also felt that it was very possible that the Shu people were using deception to cut off the rear. But no matter what, as long as the Eight Thousand Pioneer Battalion goes first, something will eventually be discovered.
"Military advisor, I, Xie Yu, would like to go and help the military advisor to find out the enemy's ambush." Xie Yu spoke hurriedly, probably feeling that he had lost his composure just now.
These days, it seems that he has been falling into a trap and is finally looking for an opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
The sheepherder looked at Xie Yu, was silent for a while, and nodded.
"Be careful, remember, focus on exploration."
"Don't worry, military advisor!"
The shepherd nodded, "The rest of us are waiting in formation and preparing. As soon as the vanguard battalion detects the enemy's situation, they will wait for my order and attack immediately."
If it is found to be a scam, all the Shu soldiers after this round will be killed.
…
call.
Xie Yu breathed out with difficulty, forced himself to calm down, and then carefully rode on his horse, leading the eight thousand pioneer battalion and slowly drove forward.
Just as the sheepherder thought, as long as they found out that this Shu people were actually playing tricks on themselves, they would be able to fight and make meritorious deeds.
"Shield formation, shield formation approaching the enemy."
Under Xie Yu's order, the eight thousand vanguard battalion got closer and closer to the enemy's formation. As soon as they got close to the shooting range, waves of flying arrows flew straight down.
There were not many casualties, and those Shu people seemed to have lost their strength. But this happened to make Xie Yu even more uneasy.
In recent days, he has been fighting with the Shu people, and he also understands in his heart how terrifying the Shu people's fighting spirit is. But now...it seems to be very strange.
I can't say, there might be an ambush.
Not daring to ride any more for fear of being attacked again, Jie Yu hurriedly jumped off the horse and hid behind the shield formation. A pair of eyes, sizing up the enemy ahead.
"Raise your shield!"
Not long after, another wave of flying arrows fell, and the sound of "thump, thump, thump" made Jie Yu, who was hiding in the formation, feel his mouth go dry. For a moment, he shrank his head again.
"General Jie, we are very close to the enemy formation."
Jie Yu was ecstatic when he heard this, "Quick, pay attention to the enemy's movements."
If it is true that the Shu people are using deceit, it is impossible to say that they can achieve great success as a result.
…
"General Han, we are close." In the Shu formation that was cut off, General Lao Pi said in a deep voice, "If not, we will take action immediately."
"No, come closer." In front of General Lao Pi, the puppy Fu said in a calm voice.
"General Han, if we get any closer, I'm afraid the people from Beiyu will notice."
"Nothing." Little Dog Fu shook his head, "Come any closer and listen to my orders, and immediately beat the drums and blow the horns. In this way, the soldiers on both sides will also cooperate."
The old general had no choice but to suppress his impatience and nodded. He could clearly see that outside the array, the Beiyu people were already close at hand.
"Scout, sing the steps!"
"Three hundred steps..."
"Two hundred steps..."
"General, the Beiyu people are coming!"
The puppy's face remained unchanged and he asked the guard next to him to quickly raise the Xu Ziwang flag.
"Beat the tom!"
"General Han has an order, beat the tongs and blow the trumpets!"
…
Boom.
When he was close to his eyes, he found that the number of people in the Shu formation was very low. Before he could rejoice, he suddenly heard the sound of beating drums. That "thud" seemed to shake his chest, making him feel uncomfortable.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of the drums became louder and louder. Accompanied by the Shu people's exciting attack horns.
"General, the Xu Ziwang Banner has appeared in the Shu formation!"
Jie Yu looked up in shock and found that the Xu Ziwang flag was really set up in the Shu formation just a short distance away.
"Then Thief Xu, is he still here?"
"General Jie, both sides...both sides of the Shu formation!"
Jie Yu looked up again, with a look of horror on his pale face.
On the left and right sides of the formation, suddenly the sky was filled with smoke and dust, and the sound of fighting and roaring, against the background of drums and horns, reached the ears from time to time.
"Sure enough, the Tibetan army ambushed!" Jie Yu was shocked and couldn't stop shouting angrily.
At first glance, there are many people hiding in the diffuse smoke and dust.
"The Shu people's Bu Dun has already come out!"
"Fiya..."
At this time, the flying arrows thrown from the Shu formation no longer looked as tired as before. They were powerful and accurate. In just two or three waves, the hundreds of people at the front were shot dead in a pool of blood.
"No, it's indeed an ambush!" Jie Yu retreated.
The high-gathered Xu Ziwang flags are more like life-defining talismans floating in the wind.
"Retreat quickly! Shield formation, protect this general!" Jie Yu shouted. There are various signs that these damn Shu people are going to take advantage of him again.
Under the order, the 8,000-strong vanguard battalion was caught off guard and quickly retreated after leaving hundreds of corpses behind.
The puppy Fu Li stood in the formation, his expression still calm.
"General, now is a great opportunity. I'm waiting to leave quickly."
"That's not appropriate." Little Dog Fu half-squinted his eyes, "If it were someone else, there would be no problem. But the person coming is the sheepherd Xun Pingzi. If we retreat immediately, he will definitely be suspicious, and he may be overtaken again soon."
"What does General Han mean?"
"On the contrary, I will wait for a wave of pursuit, then return to the formation, stand still, and buy time for the lord. When the time is right, I will take you back to the division and join the lord."
…
Looking at the dust and smoke in front of him and listening to the drums and horns, Xun Pingzi frowned. At first glance it looked like an ambush, but he didn't believe it.
Unfortunately, the Xishu array in front did not take the opportunity to return. Instead, they were still in front and even chased them for a round.
Xun Pingzi lowered his gaze and rolled his eyes quickly.
"Military advisor, there is indeed an ambush!" Jie Yu, who had escaped, could not stop shouting.
"Shut up." Xun Pingzi said calmly. He was extremely disappointed with this Hebei Wuliang. Once or twice, it's quite unusable.
"Pass my military order to quickly mobilize the cavalry camp in the army, and conduct detour exploration from both wings of the enemy's formation. Remember, don't be reluctant to fight. Within half an hour, I want to know the true and false status of the two wings of the Shu army."
