The mountains and forests are rainy.
At this time, the long road under the mountains was already paved with mud.
A somewhat tired Shu army formed a long snake marching formation and meandered forward with difficulty. There seemed to be no way forward, and they were exhausted from the pursuit of the Beiyu people from behind.
Taking off the tiger helmet, Puppy Fu raised his head and wiped his face. After several days of sleeping in the open air, a trace of vicissitudes of life appeared on the young man's face.
"Every time we reach open terrain, the Beiyu people will launch a siege. If I am not mistaken, we are waiting for Beiyu people from all directions." Ruan Qiu was standing next to him, his voice a little solemn.
Shangguan Shu, who was wearing armor, also walked over silently.
Over the course of several days, their casualties gradually increased. Think about it, under such an encirclement and suppression, the wolf in front and the tiger in the back would have a narrow escape from death.
Puppy Fu turned his head, his voice neither sad nor happy.
"Where's the food and fodder for the army?"
"According to General Han's wishes, I brought more with me when I went on the expedition. According to this estimate, there are about ten days left."
There were no civilians to accompany them when they crossed the river, and the port was cut off. Even the food route was gone.
"I found a few guides..." Shangguan Shu sighed and finally spoke hesitantly, "When we go forward, we will enter a stretch of mountain road, at least more than fifty miles, with endless mountains on both sides. "
Little Dog Fu could understand what Shangguan said. If you continue to move forward, you are likely to be completely trapped. As long as a Beiyu army attacks at both ends of the mountain road, they will be trapped in it.
Scenes like this have already been experienced by my Lord at Kezhou Snake Road.
"Master Shangguan Hall, what is the distance between the mountains?"
Shangguan Shu thought for a while, "There are still one or two hundred feet, which is not too narrow, but the most important thing is that if we get stuck in it, we will definitely lose."
"Is there a side route?"
"Of course there is. If you take a detour from the side road, you will be out of the mountains in a short time. I sent scouts before, but it seems that there are only a few Beiyu garrison on the side road." Ruan Qiu said in a deep voice.
After hearing this, Little Dog Fu had almost no hesitation.
"Go straight and enter the mountain road first."
"General Han, don't forget that my lord was in Kezhou earlier——"
"It's different." Little Dog Fu shook his head, "The mountain road this time is not the snake road in Kezhou. The distance between the mountains is very suitable."
"There are more than fifty miles of mountain roads, and it rains again. I can't get out within a day. If I can't get out, I'm afraid I will be trapped and die in it as General Ruan said." Shangguan Shu also advised.
"Why go out." The puppy Fu Ning said, "Starting from today, the soldiers' rations for ten days will be mixed with grass seeds and wild roots to survive for more than half a month. Don't forget, the people of Beiyu have sent a large army to kill you and me. Come out. If I'm not wrong, the lord and the military advisor are already looking for a good opportunity to break Beiyu's siege. They even say that they will determine a key victory."
"At that time, if Beiyu disperses its encirclement and annihilation efforts, we will fight our way out of the mountain road, drive straight in, and reach the border of Sizhou."
"General Han, if the Beiyu people attack from both ends of the mountain road with a large army..."
"I have a good strategy to defeat the enemy." Xiaoxiao Fu said seriously, "I still say the same thing, these people like us are not alone, but the magic masters of Western Shu who can defeat the enemy unexpectedly!"
Ruan Qiu and Shangguan Shu looked at each other, and they both saw a sense of shame in each other's eyes. A person of his age is not as courageous as a young man.
"General Ruan, Master of Shangguan Hall, the three of us have nothing to do with our general positions or seniority. We should cooperate sincerely and make great contributions to Western Shu!"
"I am willing to listen to General Han's orders!"
Ruan Qiu and Shangguan Shu stopped being pretentious and raised their hands together, making a sound like thunder.
…
"rainwater."
Chang Sheng turned his head to the sky, paused, and suddenly relaxed his brows.
The mountains are wet and rainy, making the road ahead difficult.
In this way, whether it is our own side or the Shu people, the marching team will slow down. There are advantages and disadvantages. The biggest advantage is that in the direction the Shu people go straight, at the other end of the mountain road, their own people will have more time to prepare.
He hoped even more that the young Shu general surnamed Han would go out of the way directly. If this is the case, with the hidden army in ambush, we only need to cut off the long line of Shu people in the mud, making it difficult to see the head and tail, and fall into chaos. Then the army rushes to kill, and it is impossible to eat the Shu army of 10,000 or 20,000.
Of course, even if you go into the mountain road, it will still be a dead end. He has already made complete arrangements for the front and back ends.
These 60,000 Shu troops are bound to be defeated here.
"If he takes a side road, it will be a disaster."
"Military advisor." Just as Chang Sheng was muttering to himself, Yan Pi hurriedly came over and brought some surprising news.
"This group of Shu people gave up the side road and continued marching forward. They have already entered the mountain road."
Listen, always win without sadness or joy. He also used this method in Kezhou to trap King Xu Shu. If it wasn't for his greed, he might really be able to kill the King of Shu.
This time, lessons were learned.
"Hurry up and send an order to build a walled archery tower at the entrance and exit of the mountain road. Just wait for my order, and the armies at both ends will enter the mountain road together."
After a pause, Chang Sheng suddenly thought of something again.
"Where is Chang Xiao?"
"I have been pursuing them, fighting with the Duanhou camp of the Shu people for many rounds, and killed at least a thousand Shu soldiers."
"As expected of our rice-selling army in Beiyu. Continue to send orders to Chang Xiao. On rainy nights, the Shu people cannot throw fire arrows to fight back. Moreover, the terrain at the entrance of the mountain road is sloping. Use rolling logs to hit the Shu people. When the Shu people are in chaos, they will fight with the friendly forces. Initiate a charge."
"Follow the military advisor's orders!"
…
tread.
It was getting dark, and a Shu soldier was near the entrance of the mountain road. His soles suddenly slipped and he fell to the ground, covered in wet mud.
"Be careful, there is a valley not far ahead, and the terrain is sloping." An old assistant general from Xishu ordered, wiping away the rainwater.
For example, they just want to avoid the pursuing army quickly, find a dry place, and light a fire to warm themselves.
General Lao Pi turned around and glanced behind him worriedly. It was going to be night again, so according to Beiyu Dog's temperament, he would definitely launch a surprise attack. As members of the Duanhou camp, they don't know how many old brothers they have to leave behind.
"General——"
At this moment, I heard a long cry, and General Lao Pi rubbed his eyes, focused his gaze, and looked around in the dim world.
Almost immediately, General Lao Pi's face suddenly turned pale. Behind them, on the sloping terrain, a large piece of rolling wood suddenly appeared. Immediately afterwards, there was a "rumbling" sound like thunder in the sky.
"Enemy attack -" General Lao Pi spread his beard and hair, drew his sword and roared.
There was no fire, no moonlight, and in the darkness where it was difficult to see, the 6,000-strong Xishu Duanhou camp suddenly started to move and roared to the sky.
…
The puppy Fu who was walking in front turned his head anxiously when he heard the commotion behind him. The sound of rolling wood was like thunder, as if someone was beating a drumstick directly on his chest.
