The next day, Xu Mu, who rushed back to Dawan Pass, immediately went to the top of the city.
Dongfang Jing, who was supervising the battle, had sunken eyes. Seeing Xu Mu's arrival, he hurriedly raised his hands and saluted.
"Bolie, you haven't slept all night?"
Dongfang Jing frowned slightly, "It's not about the war at Dayuan Pass, but because I'm worried about the intercepting army on the Gou Fu side."
Xu Mu was also silent for a moment.
He also saw that Chang Sheng's move was too cunning. But as Little Dog Fu said, the two levels cannot be surrounded at the same time. Otherwise, when the sea ships arrive in the middle of the year, there will be no military means to respond.
The way of fighting is the top, and interception is the bottom.
"Bolie, if you don't use An Zi, I'll do it."
"The time has not yet come." Dongfang Jing shook his head, "It may not be the best time to move Anzi at this time. Too many Beiyu troops have been deployed in Lizhou. Anzi's best opportunity is to fight with me Western Shu, each other becomes a horned force, trapping and killing the Northern Chongqing army."
"Bo Lie, what do you say?"
Dongfang Jing was silent for a while, "Don't blame me, my lord, I'm still thinking about the specific matters. It may take some time, but compared to blindly sending out troops in the second round, it's better to be safer."
Xu Mu nodded.
Three days later, at the gate of Dawan Pass, as Beiyu's siege became increasingly sparse, Xu Mu vaguely understood something.
Chen Zhong walked over, his face full of confusion.
"My lord, military advisor, the Beiyu people outside the city seemed to be much weaker in attacking the city today. They lost hundreds of people in the battle and then retreated all at once."
Before Xu Mu could speak, Dongfang Jing, who was beside him, had lowered his head again and looked at the map on the desk. Just looking at it, his face suddenly became dark.
"Bolie, what's wrong?"
Dongfang Jing raised his head, his voice hoarse, "Gou Fu is in the urn. But I can't figure out how Chang Sheng dares to do such a trick. Logically speaking, Chang Sheng should not know about the surprise attack of our Western Shu ship. Gou Fu I am going here to preserve the military route to meet the sea ships."
Xu Mu also frowned upon hearing this. According to the plan, after Gou Fu went to intercept, he would retreat to Dingbeiguan as long as he blocked it for a period of time and broke the momentum of the Beiyu people surrounding the second pass.
But looking at it now, it was clearly Chang Sheng’s intention.
"Lord, let me think deeply." Dongfang Jing softened his expression and calmed down again.
…
"After the Shu people crossed the river, they cut off the channel of this Shu people, so that their scouts could not communicate with King Xu Shu." The battle was about to begin, and Chang's victory was resounding.
On his left and right, many Beiyu soldiers were full of fighting spirit. The Shu people in the urn were almost certain of death.
And when they heard that the more than 60,000 generals of the Shu army were actually just young men, one or two Beiyu soldiers became even more enthusiastic.
"Yan Pi, how far is it?"
"Little strategist, we are about to enter the mountain."
Chang Sheng's eyes were steady, "Where are Military Advisor Liu and General Shentu?"
"We sent fast horses earlier and have begun to circle north to block the southward direction of this Shu army. Don't worry, little strategist, they will definitely not be able to escape this time."
There is no arrogance in Chang Sheng. He has encountered too many unexpected things. The closer the victory is, the more important it is to hold firm.
"Jiang Xian, I will leave the task of isolating the Shu people to you. In addition, whether it is the warship crossing the river or the shoal, it must be destroyed as soon as possible to cut off the Shu people's way back to Dingbeiguan. "
"This battle is the beginning of the attack on Western Shu!"
At night and dawn, to the north of Lizhou, on the long road near Jijiang River.
Fu, the little dog with more than 60,000 Shu troops, listened to the news reported by the scouts from time to time. He discovered one thing. The recent information was scarcer than before.
It was as if the troops he brought with him had become a lone army.
Puppy Fu closed his eyes and recalled the map in his mind. According to previous considerations, the military route to meet the sea ship is not far away. As for Beiyu's constant victory, the army also came from there.
Opening his eyes, Puppy Fu observed the terrain around him. In the nearby area, there are already mountains to climb, and everything is lush.
"General Han, if we encounter Chang Sheng, the terrain is not suitable for a mounted battle."
Puppy Fu nodded.
When they crossed the ford, they brought only more than 5,000 horses. Precisely because he knew the terrain, he knew early on that if the two armies encountered each other, it would most likely be a fight between infantry and bows.
In the intelligence received from Beiyu, there were also not many cavalry troops.
"General Han, we don't have civilians with us this time. We only have enough food and grass for ten days. If we can't intercept them, we have no choice but to retreat." Ruan Qiu frowned and said. In the bottom of his heart, he finally felt that the young general in front of him was a little greedy for success.
If it were him, he would have postponed the crossing of the river, or at least have a thorough understanding of the movements of the Beiyu people.
But Ruan Qiu didn't know that this time was not only to intercept, but also to seize the opportunity before the Beiyu people arrived to protect the main road to the north.
Of course, it would be impossible for Puppy Fu to say these things. In Western Shu, no one knows more than one hand about the surprise ship attack.
"General Han!"
Just when the little dog Fu was about to speak, suddenly a general came back on horseback in a hurry.
"General Han, something bad is going on. To the south of where we are waiting, a large army of Beiyu appears. There are about...100,000 people, and they are heading towards us."
"What!" Ruan Qiu and Shangguan Shu looked at each other with surprised expressions.
Puppy Fu's expression didn't change.
"In other words, the Beiyu army that originally attacked Dayuan Pass has now surrounded us."
"exactly……"
"General Han, we are waiting on the river bank behind us to kill an enemy force and seize the port! The three thousand people guarding the beach cannot defend themselves and have already retreated!" Before the first news could be heard, the second Tao's bad news came one after another.
Ruan Qiu was so anxious that he immediately asked for orders to lead his Haiyue Battalion to fight back and recapture the port. You must know that if there is no port in the rear, it will be almost impossible for the more than 60,000 of them to return to Dingbeiguan.
"Molly." Puppy Fu remained calm.
"General Han, you must think clearly! If we lose the port, these people and I will have no way out!" Ruan Qiu was puzzled, and his temper was a bit reckless, so his voice was a little louder.
Fortunately, Shangguan Shu, who was next to him, gave him a quick tug.
"There is no way back, so we have to find a way forward. Furthermore, we haven't accomplished anything yet, and it's just a matter of a port. Do you want to take back the port immediately and then return to Dingbeiguan?"
Ruan Qiu's mouth buzzed, but in the end nothing came out.
"With no way out, we should move forward more courageously. The battle situation is changing rapidly. The Beiyu people want to encircle and annihilate us. But in other words, if we can contain the Beiyu army, the lord of Dayuan Pass, and the small military advisor at this time, , we will definitely find better opportunities to defeat the enemy."
"It is useless to retreat. Han Xing begs you all to join me in destroying the enemy."
From the beginning of the army, whether it was him, the lord, or the little strategist, they had already guessed the many changes in this war.
However, there must be no mistakes in the surprise attack strategy set by Xi Shu early in the morning.
