"Lord, the military order has been passed down."
In the camp, Xu Mu nodded after listening to General Pi's words. The news of the arrival of Chang Lao's four armies is not good for the entire war situation.
Dongfang Jing has already suggested that he should give up the fight and retreat to Dayuan Pass. The small victory achieved previously should be able to boost morale and stabilize the vassal.
Xu Mu felt pity in his heart. If it had been another general, he would have been killed long ago. With the help of him and Dongfang Jing, the two of them jointly besieged and attacked from the north, but they still couldn't defeat Shen Tu Guan's tens of thousands of troops.
If the Spring Battle were to stop at this time, Xi Shu would only be considered a small victory.
"My lord, my lord!" Just as Xu Mu was thinking, suddenly, another general came hurriedly.
"What?"
"My lord, something bad has happened. General Tiger has sent out his troops!"
"Si Hu? Which way are you going?"
"Previous information showed that General Xiao Han was gathering his formation according to military orders and preparing to come over to join forces. But the Beiyu people had already arrived and launched a charge. General Hu originally cursed a few words, but later he heard that the King of Beiyu had arrived in person and shouted "Here comes the rice seller," he said, and rushed north. Fearing that something might happen to him, the following battalion generals also hurriedly followed."
Xu Mu looked shocked. The rice seller came, and of course he was talking about Tsuneshiro. But today is different from the past. Even though there is still an old friendship, on the surface, Chang Laosi is already considered an enemy because of their respective interests. Si Hu rushed out like this, there was no chance that something would happen.
"Send my military order and ask the defending troops to the east to carefully circle back to their own formation."
"Lord...what about Shen Tu Guan?"
Xu Mu was speechless for a moment. Whether it was him or Dongfang Jing, in such a situation, it was clear that Beiyu was determined to save Shen Tuguan even if he suffered a lot of battle losses and fought to the death with Xishu.
Going shopping with Beiyu is not the best strategy. Dongfang Jing has made it clear in his suggestion. It's a pity that this time, we can't win the championship.
"Also, quickly send an order to General Chen Sheng and ask him to lead people to stop Si Hu."
…
During the fight, Shen Tuguan's eyes were red, and in the shrinking defensive formation, he was like the power of heaven and man, blocking the siege of the Shu army from all directions.
"General, the Shu people have retreated!"
After hearing this information, Shen Tu Guan was not too happy. Originally, according to the plan of his little military advisor, King Xu Shu was going to suffer a big defeat. But for some reason, Beiyu fell into trouble step by step. The momentum of this battlefield was completely grasped by the Shu people.
The reinforcements from Beiyu arrived, and his lord personally marched. King Xu Shu and the lame man were unable to break through his ancient formation, and they were unwilling to waste their lives, so they naturally had to retreat.
It's a pity that the clan brother Shen Tu died in the battle, and the life or death of Mr. Sheepherd is still uncertain. In other words, both the Rice Selling Army, the Silver Halberd Guards, and his West Route Army all suffered considerable battle losses.
"General, I'm waiting for my lord to arrive in person, and we have a large army at hand. There's no way we can defeat the Shu thieves after a few rounds of charge!"
"Unlikely." Shen Tuguan narrowed his eyes, "If the Shu people dare to retreat, that means they are fully prepared. Don't forget that after a few victories, the Shu people are now very high in morale."
Shentu Guan also had some confidence in his judgment on the war. In fact, deep down in my heart, I felt even more unspeakably moved. His lord and military advisor did not give up on him.
"Go on with the order, don't let the lord rush for reinforcements, just wait for the reinforcements to arrive, then break out!"
"General Shentu, my lord is coming from the north. If the Shu people stand in his way, there will probably be a deadly battle."
Shen Tuguan calmed his voice, "Whether King Xu Shu or a lame man, under such circumstances, they will not engage in a fight between trapped animals. Of course, I hope that the Shu people will not retreat and simply decide the outcome." But these, with the caution of a lame man, are almost impossible.”
"But I heard the intelligence earlier...the tiger general from Xishu has already led his people there."
Shen Tu Guan suddenly looked startled.
…
To the north, dust and smoke were flying.
Twenty thousand Yanzhou archers, led by Zhu Zirong, kept galloping in circuitous ways, throwing waves of flying arrows into the Shu formation.
"Stabilize the array!" Fu, the little dog in the array, had a light beard on his lips, and his face was covered with gunpowder dirt. After receiving the military order from his lord, he had to lead the northern army to retreat to the main formation.
But the reinforcements from the Beiyu people had already come to kill them.
In line with the thoughts of his lord and the little strategist of the East, if Xi Shu fights to the death now, both feet will be stuck in the quagmire, and they may never be able to get out.
"Then Shen Tu Guan is indeed a famous general in the world." Xiaoxiao Fu gritted his teeth and sounded regretful.
The Xishu generals on horseback kept running on horseback to stabilize the retreating camp. Yan Yong led the Tiger Infantry to protect the flanks and be on guard against a surprise attack from the direction of Shen Tu Guan.
Fortunately, the military order came early. If it had been later, I might have been bitten by Beiyu reinforcements.
"General Xiao Han, my lord has sent help."
The puppy Fu who was giving the command looked startled when he heard this. It's not a decisive battle, so why send people to help? Seriously speaking, as long as the retreat is done properly, there is still enough time to retreat.
When he raised his head and saw the charging troops, Fucai suddenly stopped. The stupid tiger he had known for many years came to find him at some point carrying an ax.
"Blessed dog, lucky dog!" Si Hu jumped off his horse, his voice extremely joyful.
"Brother Tiger, what are you doing here...could it be the master's intention?"
For just a moment, Si Hu became angry, "I was fighting over there and heard someone say that the rice seller was coming with Chang Wei to attack your formation. So I thought about it and gave the rice seller a good beating. Let him not dare to mess around."
"Brother Tiger, you big head... grow up quickly!" The puppy smiled happily, grabbed Si Hu's robe and armor, and tried to drag him into the formation. Unexpectedly, after only dragging for a while, the whole body suddenly disappeared and fell to the ground. Looking up further, I found that my brother Tiger had already shouted "rice sellers, come and fight the generals" and rushed to the front of the formation.
…
Riding on the horse, Tsuneshiro's originally calm expression turned silent after hearing the scout's report. Chang Wei, who was next to him, even used three years of military salary as a gift, crying and shouting, "Master, don't kill the stupid tiger."
"Chang Wei, he wants to fight a general." Chang Shiro gritted his teeth and felt that the bright silver pear wood gun on his body suddenly felt a little heavy.
In this world, he dared to lead eight hundred men to kill Gongsun Dwarf. He dared to challenge the five princes of Beidi with one against five in front of Hezhou City... But he did not dare to have a fight with the tiger from Xiaodong's family. A fight.
You can't beat him to death, but he can beat you to death with a bit of recklessness.
Changshiro raised his head, thinking about the past time again, and the corners of his mouth moved bitterly.
"Instruct Yanzhou's archers and cavalry to focus on intrusion. Don't pursue them in depth, or you may fall into the enemy's trap. The infantry camp is ready to enter the formation to cover the retreat of the West Route Army."
"The guy who wants to fight... don't pay attention to him. If he shouts a few more times, he will run back hungry."
