In the dark night sky, the sounds of fighting can be heard endlessly.
Standing quietly, Shen Tu Guan lowered his head coldly and looked at the situation below. Up to now, he still had no intention of changing his formation and was still mainly on the defensive.
"Be careful heading north and send out more scouts!"
For this reason, Shen Tuguan even organized a cavalry camp of 5,000 people to protect him in the north. The rest, first block Xishu's attack.
The sheepherders on the other side also cooperated with him and constantly harassed King Xu Shu's rear army. Looking at it this way, the battle was as he expected. In a short period of time, the outcome could not be determined, but it fell into a stalemate again.
Of course, both sides have opportunities for victory. But seriously speaking, Beiyu has a greater chance. After all, once the men and horses of his own little strategist arrive, it will be a huge killing scene.
God knows what King Xu Shu was thinking. He should take advantage of the opportunity and return to Dayuan Pass as soon as possible. If it were any later, I'm afraid there would be no way to retreat.
The other side of the fight.
Dongfang Jing, who was in the formation, kept listening to the scouts' reports. He frowned slightly when he heard that there was an army of thousands of people to the north of Shentu Guan's army, and they were outflanking.
"Military advisor, why don't you let the cavalry from the north charge and kill these Beiyu people?"
"There is no time. Shen Tuguan's formation is extremely weird. If you can't break through it once, it will be even more difficult to charge again."
Raising his head, Dongfang Jing glanced at the night sky. He wanted to cooperate with his lord to win this round of war before Chang Sheng arrived. Otherwise, when Chang Sheng comes, and the sheepherders' headquarters is included, it will be difficult for his lord to escape the siege.
"The encounter is nothing more than splitting the two wings of the cavalry, and the infantry makes a frontal assault." Dongfang Jing said in a deep voice, "If I am not wrong, I am afraid that the headquarters will be damaged. Shen Tuguan not only sent flanking cavalry, but also dug trenches, pushing The horses are rejected. Our heavy cavalry in Western Shu has become a serious problem for the people of Northern Chongqing."
"In that case, I, Dongfang Jing, will take a risk. Send an order to the Master of Shangguan Hall, the Western Region Army, and Chai Zong's Beiguan Army to move around to the north."
"Then I ordered people to inspect the camp. Each man wore two layers of armor and each used two swords. They were hung on the winning hooks on the horses' belly. When the horses galloped, they made the sound of clanging and grinding. The night was covered, and the north outside When Yu Tanqi found out, he was afraid that the military situation would be misrepresented."
"If this is the case, send all the people out, and the military advisor's central army formation will be without guards."
"I said, I will take a risk. Shen Tuguan is cautious by nature. Even if he knows that our Chinese army is insufficient to defend, he does not dare to attack. He is worried that it is me, a lame man, who has set up a suspicious formation again."
"Don't delay, go and deliver the order. As long as we take advantage, the Lord will also cooperate."
The general next to him said nothing more and quickly left with his fists clasped.
…
"What did you say?" Not long after, Shen Tuguan, who was sitting on the high ground, was shocked when he heard the news brought back by the scouts.
"You mean, heavy cavalry was found near the lame army?"
"Indeed, the armor is thick, the galloping horses make a clanging sound, and their morale is like a rainbow."
Shen Tuguan thought for a while, "Have you ever taken a closer look?"
"General, we don't dare to get too close at night, so how can we take a closer look?"
Shen Tuguan frowned and quickly began to think. According to his opinion, the heavy cavalry of Xishu must choose the north direction, even if they are going out. After all, in the north direction, the people of Beiyu had just suffered a big loss, while Xishu had opened up the entire passage.
But now, that Xishu heavy cavalry actually appeared in the vicinity of the lame Chinese army.
"General, general!" At this moment, another general came over, "To the north, I found the army of Western Shu, which is constantly reinforcing."
"Reinforcement to the north?"
"indeed."
Worried about the Western Shu cavalry raiding from the north, he not only sent thousands of cavalry battalions to protect the wings, but also ordered people to dig trenches, push back the horses, and spread iron caltrops. But now it seems that all this is in vain.
"The lame man has already guessed it." Shen Tuguan gritted his teeth.
"Brother, I have been studying the art of war for a long time. At this time, Lame Man's army has been transferred to the north. As a result, his central army formation must be weakly defended. If we take the opportunity to attack the formation, there is no telling what will happen. Win!" Shentu thought for a while and said.
"Inappropriate. With such a simple flaw, do you think a lame man would make such a mistake? No way, he is just trying to lure you to attack."
When Shentu heard this, he nodded fearfully. He didn't even know that if he rushed out now, he might not really be famous all over the world...
"Brother is right, I almost made a mistake. Lame people are extremely cunning and cannot be deduced by common sense."
Shen Tu Guan turned his eyes.
"After two attacks, the heavy cavalry of Xishu, which the lame man has been holding, is probably going to attack my formation from the front."
"Shentujiu, you can move ten thousand troops from the north to the front. In addition, move some of the Juma back."
"Brother, why don't we all be transferred back?"
Shen Tuguan thought for a while, "Leave some. No matter what, you have to pay attention to the north direction."
"Brother, the Sheepherd Military Advisor has begun a strong attack. Soon, King Xu Shu will not be able to stop him. If Chang Sheng's military advisor comes over, the Shu people may be defeated." Before leaving, Shentu said He said something comforting.
"That's very good... Shen Tu is fine, but you should mobilize the troops first."
Shen Tu Guan never dared to be careless about King Xu Shu and the lame man. Just like my own little military advisor, these two monsters in Xishu are rare in a hundred years, so we have to be careful.
…
"As expected by the military advisor, the people from Beiyu did not dare to attack our Western Sichuan Army. Instead, they adjusted the defense in the north and began to defend our own formation."
Dongfang Jing sat on the wooden wheel cart with a calm expression. Although it was risky, it was able to capture Shen Tuguan's overly cautious temperament.
"It's time. All we need to do is break through Shen Tu Guan's army, and my lord will be able to defeat it with all their strength. Dog Fu is also a great achievement."
Raising his head, Dongfang Jing's face was filled with gloom for a moment.
"Pass our military order. Use the long and short sound of the arrows to inform the army in the north to prepare for the attack. For safety's sake, send a few more fast horses as a second round of communication."
"The rest of us are ready to cooperate with the charge of my heavy cavalry from Xishu to defeat Shen Tu Guan!"
"Roar!"
Around Dongfang Jing, many Xishu generals roared angrily after holding in their breath for a long time.
The Lizhou War, the first big victory in the spring, belongs to Xi Shu.
