"Shoot them to death!" Jie Yu's voice sounded excited across the river. Unfortunately, the Shu people had almost no casualties and quickly fled in the direction of the other side.
Seeing this scene, Hu Guan breathed an inexplicable sigh of relief.
"Give the order, and when the Shu people leave, we will immediately form a formation."
"General, do you really want to cross the river?"
"Could it be fake?" Hu Guan half-squinted his eyes, "This Shu people just want to get rid of us. If they take advantage of the power of this river and the Shu people are good at water, if they don't pursue them fiercely, It won't be long before we have to cross the river again and go down in a roundabout way."
"I heard that General Shentu also sent a cavalry battalion. To put it bluntly, the commander of the Duanhou Battalion has a reputation."
He didn't know who the commander-in-chief of Duanhou Camp was. Regardless of the situation, he is definitely not a mediocre general, so he can only deal with it carefully.
"General, the Shu people have gone far."
On the front line of the river bank, the scouts watching from across the bank hurriedly rode back.
"Don't be anxious, wait for another stick of incense." Hu Guan's face was solemn. Jie Yu, who was beside him, also looked a little nervous. This scene can be regarded as an opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
Just waiting for the time to come and confirming the nearby situation, Hu Guan reined up his horse and drew his knife, pointing directly in the direction of the other side.
"The whole army obeys the order and crosses the river to pursue!"
Under the order, the Beiyu Army of more than 10,000 people began to quickly cross the river at the ford, trying to pursue in depth.
On the shoal, first there were several horses without hoofs, making a long and shrill neigh, and then, a leading cavalryman, his voice sounded like madness.
"General, there are water ghosts from Shu!"
Before the cavalryman's voice could be heard, he deliberately made a circle, and Xiaofu, who was rushing back, quickly led his men and horses. While the Beiyu people were halfway across the river and the men and horses were pushing and shoving, they continued to throw out bursts of flying arrows.
Under the flying arrows, screams could be heard endlessly.
Hu Guan, who had not yet entered the water, was stunned. He suddenly understood that the commander of Xishu Duanhou Camp had always been influencing his thoughts. The division of troops and the pursuit across the river were just like the robe on his body, which was suddenly ripped through.
"The whole army is back!" In desperation, Hu Guan could not think anymore and quickly comforted the ambushed men. But the Shu people had an excellent opportunity to catch them. At this time, many Beiyu soldiers were stranded in the shallow river, neither advancing nor retreating.
Hu Guan closed his eyes deeply. This round, I'm afraid there will be heavy casualties. It can't be said that the morale of the military will be shaken.
"Sichuan thief!" Xie Yu next to him, probably to vent his anger, pointed at the other side and cursed again.
…
"Lord, the information sent back from the north!"
"General Han Xing sent his horse back quickly. Beiyu generals Hu Guan and Xie Yu were tricked in the river, and more than 4,000 people were ambushed and killed. The morale of the Beiyu pursuers was greatly reduced, and they had to temporarily retreat to the south. "
In the Xishu camp, Xu Mu turned his head in surprise when he heard the scout's voice.
"After all, he has made a great contribution."
Before Xu Mu could say anything else, suddenly, another scout on a fast horse ran back.
"My lord, the road to the north has been cleared. Han Xing, the leader of the camp after the break, used water ghosts to hide in the river, and cooperated with the young general Lu Zhong to attack Yuchi Ding's cavalry in front and back, making Yuchi Ding and Hu Guan invincible. After that, quickly retreat to the south."
Listening, Xu Mu was dumbfounded for a moment. In this short period of time, two pieces of good news came from the north. Of course, the two pursuing armies formed a group. But I have to say that the puppy Fu did a really good job this time.
"My lord, we and the Shu army have already taken advantage of the north. If we start fighting, we can deploy surprise troops."
"That's the truth. But the specific matters need to be prepared by the Eastern Military Advisor."
Dongfang Jing's men still have the biggest trump card in Xishu.
"Pass this king's military order to increase the war immediately and not give the people of Beiyu a chance to breathe."
Xiaowufu's great victory in the north will inevitably make Shen Tuguan and the sheepherder suspicious in a short period of time, and they will worry about the unexpected troops from Xishu in the north.
"Send someone again and tell the Eastern Military Advisor that it is God's will. Han Xing has made a great contribution. We will take advantage of the opportunity to attack."
…
Dongfang Jing, who was on the other side, thought for a while after receiving the information from his lord, and then began to mobilize his troops.
During this period, although there were many fights with Shen Tuguan's army, the two seemed to be restrained and did not start a big battle.
Dongfang Jing could even guess that the people of Beiyu were waiting for a permanent victory... while Xishu was waiting for a turning point in the war stalemate.
In other words, my protagonist does not intend to fight back to the city gate, but is determined to win the first big victory in the spring.
"Wei Feng." Dongfang Jing lowered his voice and called out a name. More often than not, he didn't want his heavy cavalry to play frequently, lest Chang Sheng see his flaws.
But these, Xiaofufu is in the north and has a large advantage.
Three of the four directions belong to Xishu. As for the south, he had also sent people there before. Unfortunately, the sheepherders from Beiyu also arranged a sentinel to guard against ambush in Xishu.
Hearing Dongfang Jing's voice, Wei Feng walked out from behind.
"Wei Feng, how many people can you defeat with three thousand heavy cavalry?"
Wei Feng smiled broadly, "Thousands of cavalry are no big deal. Even two to thirty thousand cavalry can penetrate them. As for the other Beiyu infantry, there is no way to stop the horses and they can be crushed directly."
Dongfang Jing was silent for a while, "Don't underestimate the enemy. You were exposed once before, and when the news reaches Chang Sheng, he will definitely think of something. Besides, Beiyu's infantry still has elites like the 'rice selling army'" .You should know how much effort my lord and Xi Shu have spent on these three thousand heavy cavalry. Every time a horse dies, it is like using a knife to cut into the heart of my Shu people."
Hearing this, Wei Feng stopped laughing, saluted Dongfang seriously, and cupped his hands.
Dongfang Jing looked pleased, "After we go around to the north, General Han Xing and thousands of cavalry from General Lu Zhong will cooperate with you."
"Military advisor, all the people in Beiyu know... There is an army of Shu in the north, how can we still make a surprise attack?"
"So what if he knows? The situation of the chess game can be clearly seen at a glance, but how many people can guess the next move of the chess player."
Wei Feng was a little confused after hearing this.
"Go ahead and be careful. After opening the road to the north, I will send fast horses to contact you every hour. If you see my signal to attack, just lead the people and attack from the north."
"Military advisor, what if the Beiyu people send someone over again?"
"No, Shentu Guan will not take any more chances with the last cavalry camp before the Beiyu Archers arrive, and will hold it tightly in his hands. If we send out infantry, the march will be too slow, and we are afraid of encountering the charge of our Shu Cavalry. , even more impossible. At most, we can send some sentinels to try to detect the movements of our Shu army."
Wei Feng nodded, hugged his face-covering helmet, and was about to turn around and leave. At this moment, Dongfang Jing suddenly spoke and added another sentence.
"General Wei Feng, please remember my words. If something goes wrong with your three thousand heavy cavalry, you must not have any thoughts of martyrdom. You must find a way to escape back to Dayuan Pass as soon as possible."
"With heavy cavalry, my chance of victory in Xishu is here." Dongfang Jing said calmly.
