"Beware of enemy attacks!"
During the retreat, the Tiger Infantry Army as the Duanhou Battalion, led by Yan Yong, carefully guarded against the enemy. Chao Yi led Qingqi and also rode nearby to provide support for the Duanhou camp.
"There is no pursuit." In the carriage, Dongfang Jing said seriously as if he had expected it. Opposite him, Xu Mu also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Over at Dawan Pass, my lord also knows that Chen Zhong sent a fast horse over earlier. Zhu Ye, the Silver Halberd Guard, has died in the battle. There are still more than a thousand Silver Halberd Guards in Beiyu, and they have also been captured. "
"Bolie, does the sheepherder have any other news?"
Dongfang Jing shook his head, "Not yet. But I guess, maybe he is not dead yet. Moreover, the sheepherder and five thousand silver halberd guards wanted to trap Chen Zhong and seize Dawan Pass, but all three attempts failed. They sent people to investigate along the way, and they also There is no sign of the sheep herders escaping to the east... As a counselor, he may not have the shame to return to the Beiyu camp, who knows, he will lurk in the darkness with a death wish and try to disrupt our Xishu again. "
Xu Mu nodded.
Until now, he has become the King of Shu, and he has never dared to look down on anyone in Beiyu. Such as Chang Sheng, such as Sheepherd, such as Shen Tu Guan... These are the pillars of Beiyu. It is impossible to say that they can succeed in one day and really want to hit Xishu hard.
"When the time comes, let Longbow send more people to investigate carefully."
There is no other way, the ferocious wolf hiding in the dark is the most terrifying thing.
"I think of me in Xishu, with an army of nearly 200,000 people. They came out of Dayuan Pass, but they couldn't achieve the success of setting the cauldron." Dongfang Jing sighed.
In this round of spring battle, not to mention Beiyu, Xishu also suffered a lot of losses. The most serious problem was that of Wei Feng's white-armored cavalry, most of whom had been killed or wounded. Even Wei Feng himself was seriously injured.
Although there were only 3,000 people, Xi Shu spent a lot of effort and resources. However, Chang Sheng saw the flaw in a short period of time.
Xu Mu also sighed. Compared with Beiyu, Xishu's lack of foundation has always been its weakness. Others' millenniums of rice warehouses and grain wealth are not comparable to your emerging regime.
Xu Mu also sighed.
I don't know how long it took before Li Xiaoyao's voice came from outside the carriage.
"My lord, we have returned to the city gate!"
…
"Zhu Ye of the Silver Halberd Guard has a strong killing intent, and his subordinates are also elite soldiers. I and the master of Shangguan Hall worked together to encircle and kill him, and it took a lot of effort. Many heroes died in battle, and the master of Shangguan Hall killed Hong He lost his sight and rushed into battle to fight, only to accidentally hit an arrow and fall from his horse."
Back in Dayuan Pass, Chen Zhong had a heavy look on his face.
"Don't worry, my lord, the military doctor has already seen him. Master Shangguan Hall will rest for some time and he will recover slowly."
Xu Mu nodded and looked at Dongfang Jing next to him. When we were fighting abroad, what we were most worried about was the Dawan Pass in the rear. The one who always wins is really brave, he is unexpected again and again, and he uses all means to make surprise attacks.
"Chen Zhong, is there any news about the sheepherder?" Xu Mu asked in a solemn voice. Just like a thorn stuck in the throat, for a sheepherder, he wants to see a person in life and a corpse in death.
"I have identified the corpse with the burned face. Although it is disguised, the skin is strong and has no wrinkles. It does not look like the corpse of a sheepherder. I previously sent people outside the pass to plan inside and outside. Another round of searching. But I'm worried that the sheepherder has already fled back to Beiyu Camp."
"The little military advisor has already analyzed this situation. There is a possibility that the sheepherder... will not return to the Beiyu camp. Just like a poisonous snake, it will always be victorious and make poisonous plans against me in Xishu."
"Lord, I will send more people later."
"Very good."
After all, Xu Mu also understood in his heart that if a person like the sheepherder was really alive, a simple search might not be able to find him.
"Chen Zhong, from now on, you will be responsible for the defense of Dawan Pass."
The previous events have been enough to prove that Chen Zhong's shield is indeed worthy of its reputation. Moreover, he is not too old, he is loyal and can be trained as a leading general in the future.
"Thank you, my lord."
"No need to be polite."
After getting up and giving a few more instructions, Xu Mucai personally pushed Dongfang Jing's wooden cart. The two of them slowly walked on the city wall, pushing and walking slowly.
Outside Dawan Pass, the traces of the fighting are still clearly visible. Even though Chen Zhong cleaned up the mess on the battlefield, the blood marks on the ground were still shocking.
"Lord, the celebration banquet is ready." Dongfang Jing turned around and said with a smile.
Xu Mu also smiled.
Again, although it is a small victory, it is very necessary to boost morale. It's hard to say that at the celebration banquet, some exaggerations will be made to exaggerate the achievements of this war.
"What Bo Lie means is that in the near future, we will not fight Beiyu to the death for the time being?"
"Indeed." When it came to the topic, Dongfang Jing nodded seriously, "Unlike Liangzhou and Dongling, the difference between Xishu and Beiyu... is still a bit big after all. Yanzhou Archers, Rice Selling Army, Silver Halberd Guards, and even That is to say, there are still many details for the finale, and Changsheng has not yet been sent to the battlefield. You see, this time we have to wait for all the difficulties to achieve a small victory. You must know that the King of Beiyu has not really entered the battle. As Beiyu The king, the troops under King Beiyu are the most elite."
Xu Mu also understood.
The previous rice-selling army was Chang Shiro's bodyguard, but they were lent to Chang Sheng to defeat the white-armored cavalry. It can be seen that the real elite army of Beiyu should be under the command of Chang Laosi.
For this time, Xi Shu dispatched almost all its troops, including the white-armored cavalry and the newly formed tiger infantry.
"It's not difficult to win a small victory, but to win the whole of Beiyu, you need all kinds of strategies."
"With Bo Lie here and many old guys from Xishu here, I, Xu Mu, have confidence."
"I am also confident." Dongfang Jing also laughed.
Xu Mu also smiled. Starting from a Wangzhou stickman, he only has one last step left.
…
In the night wind, Beiyu's returning troops, Chang Sheng, who was walking at the end, suddenly dismounted.
"Little strategist?"
"This battle is unfavorable, and I feel deeply ashamed. My plan failed, and many loyal and brave people from Beiyu were buried in Lizhou."
Chang Sheng knelt down and kowtowed three times in front of him.
"On the day when Beiyu destroys Shu, I will always win. I will come again to pay homage to the tombs listed as loyal and brave."
Not far from Changwu, Shen Tuguan, who originally looked tired, suddenly showed fighting spirit in his expression after listening to Chang Sheng's words. Many Beiyu generals, such as Yuchi Ding and Zhu Zirong, also looked expectantly.
Changshiro, who was on horseback, turned his head, his face paused, he picked up the reins high and galloped forward.
"Beiyu, return to the teacher!"
…
