In the mountains and forests, the rain never stops.
After getting out of the battle, the Shu troops who penetrated deep into the mountain road began to look for drier places and light fires to warm themselves.
An accompanying military officer walked up to Little Dog Fu with trembling steps.
"General Han... In the battle of Gujian, we lost more than 4,000 people. Even General Ruan Qiu was seriously injured and fell into a coma."
"Understood." Little Dog Fu's voice was bitter.
As for Ruan Qiu's injury, the accompanying military doctors have tried their best to save it. But if you want to recover as before, you need to rest for at least two or three months.
But how can one rest during such a march?
"Gou Fu... General Han." Shangguan Shu, who was sitting on the side, hesitated for a moment and felt that it was still necessary to review the predicament they were in.
Grabbing a dead branch, Shangguan Shu spoke in a solemn voice.
"This is like a mountain road, with left and right exits, but at this time, both ends of the mountain road have been blocked by Beiyu people. I know a little about the art of war. It won't be long before Beiyu's large army and horses will gather together. Qi attacked from both ends, making it impossible for our army to take care of both the head and the tail, until it was completely defeated."
"Indeed." Puppy Fu calmed down his expression and did not refute.
Shangguan Shu sighed and broke off the dead branch.
"General Han, we can't escape in this situation."
"Master Shangguan Hall, there is no need to worry too much." Xiao Qiaofu comforted him. In fact, he could guess that the situation was more dangerous than what Shangguan said.
Originally, there were hundreds of thousands of troops encircling and annihilating them. Now, with the reinforcements from Beiyu at the exit of the mountain road, the number would probably be no less than 200,000.
There are also those dormant secret troops and mobile reinforcements in Lizhou. If you add them all together, it is estimated that there will be an extremely terrifying number.
No matter how you look at it, all 50,000 of them are certain to die.
"General Han... said before that he had a way."
"I have thought about it carefully." Xiaoqiao Fu replied seriously, "At this time, there is rain in the mountains and forests, which adds an extra boost."
…
"There is no escape!" Chang Xiao said calmly in the Chinese army's tent in Beiyu, taking the lead in breaking the silence.
Previously, what he thought was a sure thing was unexpectedly interfered with by the young general from Xishu.
Chang Xiao's words made everyone in the military tent look deeply convinced.
Under such circumstances, it was only a matter of time before the Shu army was defeated.
"Caution is the best thing." Chang Sheng, who was standing in the center, said in a calm voice.
"At the entrance of the mountain road, in addition to the 70,000 soldiers of Liu Chen's military division, we still have more than 80,000 people. In addition, at the other end of the mountain road, the lord will also send a large army to attack the mountain road at the same time as us to attack and destroy this Shu people. "
"You may not know that if we can defeat this Shu people, it will be of extraordinary significance. It will almost break an arm of the Shu people. After the war went unfavorably, the Shu people were demoralized. Our army, with the power of victory, came together. Attack Dayuan Pass and force the Shu people to retreat to Yu Pass in Shuzhou."
"Of course -" Chang Sheng paused, "If we can attract the Shu people to send troops from Dayuan Pass and attack and kill them halfway, that would be the icing on the cake."
This sentence made everyone in the Chinese military tent look excited. In this round, judging from the current situation, Beiyu is only one step away from victory.
"This Shu army in Shandao is particularly important. Chang Xiao, don't be careless in the investigation. Our military advisor needs to know every move of this Shu people in Shandao."
"Don't worry, little military advisor, I'll do it right away!" Chang Xiao raised his head solemnly.
…
The rain in the mountain road splashed crazily on the mountain wall.
Although the distance between the mountains is not narrow, some of the larger caves are already crowded with Shu people, lighting fires, roasting themselves, and eating another bowl of hot food.
But at this time, outside the cave, there were more Shu soldiers, following Little Dog Fu's orders, constantly working in the rain, picking up branches and piles of soil.
Farther away from the formation, there was a Xishu general, with men and horses from the second and third battalions, carefully patrolling in the rain to guard against a sudden surprise attack by the Beiyu people.
Outside a large cave, a somewhat thin young man stood silently, looking at the rain curtain in front of him in trance.
After several days of fighting, the young man's face was covered with a layer of dirt that could not be washed away.
"General Han, judging from the situation, it can be completed within three days. But... is this method too risky? We also know that when the rain stops, the Beiyu people will definitely rush in with a large army."
"This is natural. Chang Sheng has already made plans to eat our group of troops. I know that if we are defeated, the morale of the entire Western Shu will become turbulent. In addition, those who vassed me in the West will The power of Shu cannot be said to have bad thoughts."
"This constant victory is really... instead of attacking the main formation, they are trying to kill this lone army like me."
"Are you alone?" Little Dog Fu gave a rare smile, "I have said it many times, sometimes when you are at a disadvantage, you are more like a bait. Although Chang Sheng is the wisest man in the world, but in this situation, I, Han Xing, also have two problems. Three’s confidence can stop the people from Beiyu.”
"General Han, the old soldier who looked at the sky said that the mountain rain will stop in four or five days at most."
"Rain is not the key. The army at the other end of the mountain road is the key to victory."
Puppy Fu closed his eyes and remembered the past scene again.
It was already dark, and his teacher was sitting at the desk, reading the file. And he held the military book and read it carefully.
The puppy is happy and opens its eyes.
There were many things that he didn't want to fight for, but there was only one thing that he had to fight for.
Since he is Du E's disciple, he will not lose the teacher's face!
"Send the order, work day and night, we will fight to the death with Beiyu!" Thinking of the end, the puppy Fu turned his head to the sky and spoke angrily.
…
"What is this kid going to do?" Standing on the wet high ground, Chang Xiao tightened the bamboo hat on his head and asked in a ferocious voice.
According to his wishes, he should immediately attack the mountain road and kill all these Shu people.
Unfortunately, due to the rainy weather, it will still take some time to encircle the other end of the mountain road. Of course, when the signal comes, no matter what the Shu people do, they will just resist.
"General Chang, the patrol camps of the Shu people are densely distributed. If we go further, we may be discovered."
"So what if you find out, it's just a round of fighting." Chang Xiao showed no fear. In his eyes, this Shu army in the mountain road was already equivalent to dead people.
"Huh, just live a few more days." Chang Xiao turned around. We have just received information that the Shu people are digging trenches in the rain. I heard that deep in the mountain road, a lot of dead branches were picked up and piled up with soil.
"Send the order, be sure to keep an eye on the Shu people's movements."
"Follow General Chang's orders!"
