"Silver Halberd, Silver Halberd... Guard."
Zhu Ye held his head high and his voice became more and more desperate. The addition of Xishu reinforcements and the siege made the thousands of Silver Halberd Guards increasingly passive.
What made him blame himself the most was that he was unable to quickly defeat Chen Zhong and failed to achieve even an inch of success. The situation with the old military advisor Sheepherd was definitely in danger. After all, the reinforcements from Xishu had broken through the old military division's obstruction and arrived in front of Dayuan Pass.
Under the double hatred, Zhu Ye, who was already desperate, became even more crazy. The Silver Halberd Guards, who led thousands of people, were desperate to attack the Shu army.
"Zhu Ye, surrender!" Nearby, there was a Xishu general, raising his sword and shouting angrily. Unexpectedly, Zhu Ye, who was furious, was killed in a pool of blood with a knife.
Looking at it, Chen Zhong narrowed his eyes.
…
"Urgent report, scout, urgent report!"
After the channel was opened, more than a dozen mounted scouts followed the long road and hurried to the front line.
Xu Mu looked anxious. When the scout told him the information about the rear, he breathed a sigh of relief. As Dongfang Jing expected, when they were at a disadvantage, Chang Sheng would definitely find ways to break the situation. But fortunately, even if the sheepherder went there, he didn't succeed.
"The shepherd is dead?"
"The leader of Shangguan Hall said that when they reached the end of the road, those people entered a cave, caught fire and burned themselves. For a while, he couldn't tell the difference."
Xu Mu nodded. Now that the rear is safe, the most important thing now is to defeat Shentu Guan.
"Do you have any advice from the little military advisor?"
"The little strategist said that the lord's orders come first, and he will cooperate with caution. However, the little strategist also said that the lord must be careful to win, and he said that he must not do anything to save Shen Tu Guan, no matter the cost."
"Understood, please go back."
Turning his gaze sideways, Xu Mu looked not far away. Although he is a famous general in the world, Shen Tu Guan is now at the end of his rope. The tens of thousands of troops and the ancient defensive formations are already unable to stop them. With the sheepherd's defeat, they will be completely in a deadlock.
Of course, as Dongfang Jing said, Shentu Guan is extremely important to Beiyu, and there is no way there will be a rescue. However, with the victory in the first battle of spring, the balance has slowly tipped towards Xi Shu.
At this time, in Beiyu's formation, Chang Sheng also received the information, his eyes full of bitterness.
In order to save Shen Tuguan, he had tried his best. Unfortunately, both the north and south sheepherders have failed. King Xu Shu and the lame man used all their strength to kill the Shentu Crown Formation here.
"Where's Mr. Sheepherd?"
"Military advisor, the passage has been opened, and there are intensive exchanges of Shu cavalry. We dare not go deep, so we only took a general look. Mr. Sheepherd... probably died in the hands of the Shu people. And Zhu Ye, the leader of the Silver Halberd Guards, vowed not to surrender, and almost All the people were killed. On the Shu side, both the reinforcements and Chen Zhong's defenders suffered heavy losses. Even the Shangguan Shu of the Xia'er Army was hit by a halberd and seriously injured."
Silence is always better. No matter what happened now, Zhu Ye's side was too late to rescue him. The sheepherder went deep into the army alone, which was originally a dangerous situation.
After a long time, he sighed. Yezhou's Silver Halberd Guards, it's hard to say, will really be wiped out this time.
"Sheepherd's military advisor, think of some ways to investigate further and get more information. Somehow, I always feel that the old gentleman is not dead."
"Little military advisor, General Shentu's side..."
Hearing this, Chang Sheng closed his eyes, "Although I don't want to accept it, in the first battle of spring with Xi Shu, I, Beiyu... are already at a disadvantage. I have my own arrangements for General Shentu. Our world-famous general from Beiyu may have to pay a price of sacrifice."
Many generals next to him didn't understand it clearly, but they could all hear the extreme loneliness in the voice of their little strategist.
…
"Brother, I can't hold on anymore!" In the army, Xie Yu's voice was excited. All around him, the ancient formations laid out by Shentu Guan had been shrinking and becoming smaller and smaller.
Listening to Xie Yu's words, Yuchi Ding's face turned cold. The battle in the north was unfavorable and they retreated to Shentu Guan's main formation, but now it seems that they are also in a dead end.
Of course, if the original battle to the north could still be won, General Shentu... would not have to worry about a flanking attack.
"Damn it." Yu Chiding sounded regretful. If I had known better, I should have been more careful.
"General Yuchi, General Hu Guan was hit by an arrow!" Not long after, a guard under his command conveyed extremely bad information.
Not long after, Hu Guan, who had been hit by an arrow, was dragged back by the guards covered in blood. He coughed painfully for a while. He could no longer move as the military doctor cried.
"Brother, brother... Why don't you wait for me to surrender to Shu -" Jie Yu ran over in shock.
"Second brother, get closer to me and hide in the shield... By the way, I didn't hear what you just said."
"Brother, it's okay..." Jie Yu trembled, unable to bear looking at Hu Guan's body anymore, and even his voice began to tremble.
Shen Tuguan entered the battle with an extremely cold face. The successive retreats and the soldiers being injured and falling one after another made him more aware of the Shu people's determination to kill him.
If the north side is not lost, the little strategist may be able to provide some cooperation.
but now……
Shen Tu Guan gritted his teeth. He was not afraid of death, even his clan brother Shen Tujiu died in the battle. What he was worried about was the name of the Shentu clan. If he died, there would be no one to support him, and the clan would slowly wither. The main reason why he came from Donglai to Beiyu was that he wanted the Shentu lineage to become a wealthy family.
"General Shentu, the tiger step of Xishu is coming again!"
"The tiger step of Xishu is a shield and crossbow. Let the sword and shield hand block the front and prepare to fight." Even after giving the order, Shen Tuguan's voice was still extremely bitter.
After the rice-selling army retreated, the Western Shu Tiger Infantry Army, although small in number, was extremely cunning and followed opportunities several times to tear holes in the ancient defensive formation.
Looking up to the sky, Shen Tu Guan showed the first trace of despair on his face. If his little military advisor cannot attack and rescue him, Lame Man and King Xu Shu will not give him any chance.
He couldn't understand that Beiyu, who had an advantage in the past, was suddenly at the mercy of others.
"Siege Beiyu Shen Tu Guan——"
In all directions, there were the camp flags of Western Shu, and countless roars rang out in unison. Countless Shu soldiers were besieging them. Under the situation, the defensive formation of the Beiyu people in front of them had become increasingly shrinking.
"Seize the moment!"
The riding generals commanded the Shu army, whose morale was soaring, and turned into spears, poking at the phalanx of the Beiyu people.
Not far away, Dongfang Jing was sitting on a wooden wheel cart. He was not proud at all. He calmly put away the information, then silently raised his head and looked at the front seriously.
To conquer Beiyu, start with the battle formation to kill Shentu Guan. Once this world-famous general dies, the morale of Beiyu will inevitably drop to freezing point within a short period of time... It is impossible to say that he can take advantage of the opportunity to take down the entire Lizhou. If this is the case, by the middle of the year, we will be able to better cooperate with the sea ships and completely disrupt the hinterland of Beiyu.
