"General Han, the cavalry of the Beiyu people!" General Pi said from the side.
Hearing this, the puppy Fu couldn't help but frown. As he thought, the sheepherder Xun Pingzi was much higher level than that Jie Yu.
The cavalry took a roundabout way to explore. According to the caution of the shepherds, the main purpose must be exploration.
"General Han, what should we do?"
"There is no need to fight to intercept the Beiyu people's cavalry camp. There is no need to fight for the rest of the people. The worst result is that the sheepherder finds out. If he really finds out, we will retreat and defend. At this time, the people in front of us There are not many horses in the Beiyu army formation." Xiao Xiaofu said in a serious tone. If the shepherd's cavalry camp were large enough, they would probably have to kill them all in a roundabout way.
Behind them, there are thousands of people who originally attacked the camp. As long as they can get around and pretend to be a flanking attack, the sheepherders will definitely be surprised in a short time.
Since the rear was cut off, the priority was to delay time. As long as the sheepherd's pursuit was delayed, the lord would be able to return safely.
"Damn it, I wonder which general of Xishu is this?" Jie Yu retreated, his tone full of anger. Repeatedly, he seemed to have fallen into the trap of the Shu people.
It was different from Xie Yu. The shepherd on horseback frowned when he saw his cavalry camp making a circuitous route and being intercepted by the Shu people.
Unfortunately, not many cavalrymen were brought this time. If not, I would have arrived earlier.
Gritting his teeth, the shepherd's face darkened. As long as the cavalry camp can bring back some information and find a clue, he will definitely kill the Shu general with a large army and cut the Shu general into pieces.
"March." In front, Xu Mu, with tens of thousands of troops, was still rushing back quickly.
The information the scouts brought back was not very good.
Shen Tu Guan used ancient formations and constantly changed formations, and was actually able to completely block Dongfang Jing in the middle of the road. In other words, he had the upper hand for a while.
"In addition, Shen Tuguan from Beiyu has discovered that the lord is returning to the army."
Xu Mu was not surprised. Such a large-scale march would definitely be discovered as long as it got close. The war has reached this point, whether it is Beiyu or Xishu, an inconspicuous flaw may lead to a defeat.
Shen Tu Guan is not a fool. In a sense, Li Poshan is not in the Central Plains. He is probably the best general in the world.
If the pincer attack can be successful and the number one general is retained, the significance of the first battle in the spring will be extraordinary.
Jiang Meng died first, and Ruoshen Tu Guan also died in the battle. Then, another stumbling block blocking Xi Shu has been removed. When the time comes, there's no telling if that dark man will be able to move up again.
Of course, the idea is beautiful, but to put it into practice, it requires the blessing of various factors.
After taking a breath, Xu Mu looked around, looking at the tens of thousands of horses following the expedition, and his face became solemn for a moment.
"Keep marching!"
…
"Change the formation again, and the two dragons will bite each other head to tail. Remember, don't enter the eight-door locking formation of the lame man! Use your foot bow to restrain and kill him for the time being!"
Standing on the high ground, Shen Tu Guan's eyes were bloodshot. The time to command the formation was not too long, but even so, dealing with the lame man almost exhausted his energy.
He couldn't understand that this lame man from Xishu was not only a good strategist, he could even be said to be evenly matched with him in battle formations. What kind of evildoer is he blocking Beiyu's pursuit of unification?
"The eight-door lock formation is unpredictable. The cripples from Western Shu are trying their best to lure our Northern Chongqing army into the formation! We must not be fooled!"
Shen Tuguan had said similar words several times, but he still couldn't rest assured.
After giving the instructions, Shen Tu Guan took a water bag from the side and quickly drank a few sips. Taking advantage of his free time, he frowned and looked at the general next to him.
"Where are you, King Xu Shu?"
Scouts had previously reported that King Xu Shu's army had left the battlefield and was marching in their direction.
"According to the general's wishes, scouts will report every time the incense is burned. Now, we are less than ten miles away."
Shen Tuguan was silent for a while, then turned his head and looked at the fighting formation below.
He was not too nervous, and even said that he could almost guess that after King Xu Shu left the battlefield, Beiyu would definitely send people to pursue him.
Two mantises and two cicadas, the battle is confused and the winner is difficult to determine. Unless it is said that whoever is hiding a yellow bird is likely to win in the end.
"General Shentu, if not... let's avoid him first. King Xu Shu will return to the army and march. It's best to avoid his fierceness first."
Shen Tuguan listened silently.
The distance of ten miles is not far away. It's a pity that after finally suppressing the lame man once, I guess it will end early.
"How is Yuchiding doing now?"
"The cavalry battalion led by General Yuchi is cooperating outside the formation. According to General Shentu's wishes, they are not allowed to rush into the formation before receiving military orders."
"If he rushes into the formation, as soon as our Beiyu cavalry camp enters, I am afraid that the lame man will lock the formation with eight gates, and with the cooperation of the wolf clan Chao Yi, he will be eaten whole. Send an order to Yuchi Ding to gather the cavalry camp and prepare Protect the flanks of our center."
"General Shentu, aren't you planning to avoid it?"
"Whether we avoid it or not... I guess that King Xu Shu will try his best to kill me here. Just like Qingfeng back then, he tried his best to surround Jiang Meng."
The death of the famous general Jiang Meng has always stung people in Beiyu.
Shen Tu Guan let out a breath, "Wars are always about life and death. King Xu Shu and the lame man both want to kill me, and I, Shen Tu Guan, am not like that. It's just a competition to see whose sword is stronger."
The other side is also on the high ground.
Dongfang Jing's face also showed a hint of fatigue. He did not underestimate Shen Tu Guan. On the contrary, this time Shen Tu Guan brought him too much pressure.
Worthy of being a famous formation general, even though he was proficient in formations and even used the eight-door locking formation, he still could not defeat Shen Tu Guan.
He wanted to lure Shen Tu Guan into the battle, but he was seen through early. Instead, they kept changing their formations, besieging the large formation of Shu troops in front of them.
But fortunately, intelligence came from the front. My lord has left the battlefield and is coming back.
"Military advisor, if not, we will cooperate with the lord and kill Shentu Guan in a flanking attack." A general beside him gritted his teeth.
Dongfang Jing was silent for a while before speaking, "Both I and Shen Tu Guan have received the news. This matter will not be too simple. Moreover, it is not necessarily easy to kill Shen Tu Guan in a double attack."
As the leader of the surprise attack, it was a good way to lure him into the city, but even so, Shen Tuguan still changed his robe and armor and did not fall into the trap. For a person like this, it is unlikely that he will hit the target with one hit.
What we need to consider now is how to cooperate. When my lord returns to his army, the people from Beiyu will definitely pursue him and cooperate with Shentu Guan. The most important thing is that the person pursuing this time is the sheepherder Xun Pingzi, the staff of the second seat of Beiyu. After the incident at Dayuan Pass, it was already very difficult to deceive the sheepherders.
It's just the beginning of spring, it's only the first game, and there's already some jealousy between the two sides.
