"The troops are divided into two armies, one in front and one behind." Behind the slope, Zhu Ye's voice was solemn. While walking in a hurry, he turned his head and tried to see through the scenery in front of him, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything with his eyes.
The old military advisor, Sheepherd, must have blocked it. The Shu soldiers who rushed to rescue failed to arrive in time.
Now, as long as we kill Chen Zhong, break the Shu people's attack, and rush to the slope as quickly as possible, we may be able to save the sheepherder military advisor.
"The scouts are back!"
"General, we found a Shu cavalry camp to the north of where we are waiting! The enemy general Chen Zhong and his men are constantly invading with guerrilla attacks."
"He is waiting for reinforcements." Zhu Ye said calmly. "But he doesn't know that the reinforcements from Xishu have been blocked by five of my old military advisors from Beiyu!"
"General, what do we do now?"
Zhu Ye narrowed his eyes, cupped his hands and bowed to the rear, "Sheepherd's military advisor's ingenious plan allowed my five thousand silver halberd guards to have no worries in a short period of time. But although there are many of us, we can't catch up with the cavalry camp. If we want to There is only one way to force Chen Zhong into war."
It was said to be five thousand, but in fact, the Silver Halberd Guards had lost two to three hundred in battle.
"General, what can we do?"
"Go straight to Dayuan Pass and force him to return to rescue the pass!" Zhu Ye was extremely calm. After paying homage to the old military advisor of the sheepherder, he considered everything at this time more carefully.
"Remember, if Chen Zhong returns to the rescue, only a thousand people will be left to block the pass. The rest will join me, Zhu Ye, to surround and kill Chen Zhong of Xishu!"
"I, Zhu Ye, am the one who breaks the shield in Beiyu!"
On the flat ground outside Dawan Pass, Chen Zhong, riding a horse, would raise his head from time to time and look into the distance. If we calculated the time, the reinforcements should have arrived, but for some reason, they did not show up for a long time.
In order to capture the sheepherder and the Silver Halberd Guard, he gave up guarding the gate and chose to leave the city, but he could not wait for the reinforcements to attack him.
Moreover, just now, the scouts came with extremely disturbing news. The five thousand Silver Halberd Guards rushed straight to the direction of Dawan Pass as if they were desperate.
It's most likely a trap, but regardless of whether it's a trap or not, if they don't come back to aid Chengguan, something bad will happen. You know, this Silver Halberd Guard has always been a powerful force that attacks cities and plunders lands.
Chen Zhong had a sullen face, feeling that the original plan seemed to be reversed step by step by the shepherd.
"Get back on your horse." Chen Zhong quickly ordered without hesitation.
There are still many prisoners of Beiyu in Dawan Pass. If they succeed in cooperating with each other, they may be in serious trouble.
"General, I'm afraid it's an enemy trick."
"Of course I know." Chen Zhong said unwillingly. If the reinforcements could arrive in time, what an advantage it would be.
There are only about 1,780 cavalry camps left in the city.
"Send the order, unite the two wings, and resist the interception of the Beiyu people."
Not long after, nearly two thousand Shuqi who had left the city were unable to wait for reinforcements in time. After learning the information that the Silver Halberd Guards were rushing to Dayuan Pass, they had to rush back.
…
Not far from Dawan Pass, Zhu Ye, who was leading the army, had a steady look on his face. He has been leading troops in wars for more than ten years, but this time, he felt that the war was in danger.
The sheepherder's military advisor has left him the best chance. If the enemy cannot be defeated, as he said before, the only way to apologize is to die.
"The scouts are here to report——"
More than a dozen Beiyu scouts hurried back. The information about Chen Zhong's return was brought to Zhu Ye.
Zhu Ye held his saber in place, his eyes as bright as a torch.
This encounter has been anticipated, and now what needs to be considered is how to annihilate Chen Zhong, the Shudun cavalry camp here.
"The Shu Cavalry needs to think of a way to encircle the enemy." Zhu Ye looked around and said word by word, "The way to kill the enemy is to stop the horse first."
"General, how should we stop the horse?"
Zhu Ye answered, "Take out all the flying halberds and hand them to the thousands of people among them. When encountering them, quickly seize the ground and then spread the flying halberds on the ground. Within a short time, they should have the power to stop the horses." "
Many of the captains next to him looked excited when they heard this.
"Thousands of the remaining people blocked the direction of the city gate to guard against the Shu army coming out of Dayuan Pass. The other three thousand people were divided into three formations, all of which formed spear formations with halberds. When I sounded the trumpet, the three formations gathered together. Pushing, coupled with the direction of blocking the horse, Chen Zhong of Xishu will inevitably fall into a siege."
"Of course, the battlefield is unpredictable. When the time comes, the flag order will prevail."
Standing in the wind, probably to boost morale, Zhu Ye took off his helmet, suddenly drew his knife, and cut off a section of his temple hair.
"Everyone, I would like to remember that Mr. Sheepherd, risking his life, paved the way for us to kill the enemy. Furthermore, I, the Silver Halberd Guard of Yezhou, once upon a time, was one of the best heroes in the world!"
"I swear, I will not kill Chen Zhong, and my great deeds will not be returned to Beiyu!"
"kill!"
Next to Zhu Ye, several captains also made the same move and took an oath one after another.
…
Outside Dawan Pass, the spring breeze blew across my face.
Chen Zhong, who was riding on the horse, frowned for a moment. Going further, there is an encounter with the Beiyu people. You can probably still see the Beiyu Changwu not far from the city gate, their morale is like a rainbow.
He could choose to retreat, but in this case, if Dawan Pass was really lost, he would not be able to escape the blame.
Chen Zhong sighed.
After all, it is a pincer attack that is thought about deeply, but it cannot be successful. What kind of method did the Beiyu sheepherders use to intercept the reinforcements from Xishu?
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Zhong recovered his thoughts. He turned his head and glanced at the riding camp following him. The encounter was imminent, and it was impossible to say that the faces of many old brothers were about to leave him.
These nearly two thousand people are his old subordinates who have followed him all the way. At the end of last year, in Dayuan Pass, everyone got drunk.
"Yuguan Army!" Chen Zhong raised his arms.
"Roar!"
"Ping Qiang, we will kill the Beiyu people!"
…
"Chen Zhong——" Seeing Shu Qi appear, Zhu Ye's eyes were about to burst and he roared wildly. Regardless of the guards' obstruction, he raised the sword himself and went into battle to kill the enemy.
"Fight and kill the enemy!"
An encounter that was like a conspiracy began in an instant.
"Don't enter the formation and invade with maneuvers!" Chen Zhong kept giving orders. Behind him, nearly two thousand Shu cavalry and the charging Changwu were like a cone knife, cutting through the flank of the Silver Halberd Guard.
In the first charge, dozens of Silver Halberd Guards died under the spears.
Zhu Ye did not panic. After boosting his morale, he coldly retreated to the military ranks. A pair of eyes kept looking around, calculating the most suitable time.
After about half a stick of incense had passed, after the Silver Halberd Guards were killed one by one by the Shu Cavalry Battalion, they quickly gave the order to blow the horns.
"Flying halberd, flying halberd!"
Suddenly, flying halberds all over the sky suddenly fell overwhelmingly, with a harsh sound of breaking through the air.
Chen Zhong frowned. He knew how powerful the flying halberd was and had always been careful. But at this moment, those flying halberds were thrown over all at once, even though there was no chance yet.
The distance was not enough, and not many Shu riders fell off their horses. Silver Halberd Guard's move was like fetching water from a bamboo basket, and it was all in vain.
Chen Zhong thought for a while and suddenly looked shocked. Only when he turned around did he realize that the back path of their Shuqi camp was covered with dense flying halberds. At first glance, it looks like a thick layer of caltrops.
All around, the roars of Beiyu people fighting seemed to be getting louder and louder.
