"Trench?" After hearing the information sent back, Chang Sheng was silent for a while.
"My lord, they are almost ready. A total of 120,000 troops will cooperate with us to attack from both ends."
"Little military advisor, even if the poisonous owl is here, it's just a trick. If it hadn't been for the wet rain, I would have liked to set fire to burn all these Shu people." In the camp, a Beiyu general sneered.
"Don't underestimate the enemy." Chang Sheng said in a condensed voice, "Don't forget, no matter what, he is also Poison E's disciple."
"Pass my military order and the army begins to prepare. In one day, even if the rain does not stop, it will be ready to attack the mountain road. The troops on the lord's side will be dispatched soon!"
…
One day later, the rain finally subsided.
At this time, outside the mountain road, the mighty Beiyu army in the rain was like tigers descending the mountain. They couldn't wait for the military order and immediately tore apart the Shu people in the mountain road.
Shen Tuguan stared intently. As the leader of the attack on the mountain road this time, his face was already filled with a murderous aura.
"Snare--"
In the rustling of rain, the sound of tong drum suddenly shattered the rain curtain and resounded all of a sudden.
"Hour!"
"General Shentu, the appointed time has come!"
Shen Tu Guan paused, then drew his sword out of its sheath and pointed it forward. After joining Beiyu as a general, he was defeated by Beiyu many times. But today, he must take revenge and revive the reputation of the Shentu family!
"The three armies obey the order and attack the mountain road!"
At the right time, the muffled horn horn also sounded.
Chang Sheng stood on the high ground, condescending, looking at the formation below, his eyes full of expectation.
…
"General Han, General Han! The Beiyu people have invaded the mountain road!" An anxious Xishu general walked over in a hurry through the mud.
The puppy Fu looked fearless, as if this fight between trapped animals had been expected. As long as the other end of the mountain road is ready, Chang Sheng will definitely attack, even if the rain hasn't stopped yet.
"Master Shangguan Hall, we will follow what you and I discussed before."
Shangguan Shu, who was standing by, cupped his hands and clasped his fists, "Don't worry, General Han. I, the Xiaerjun, have always wanted peace in the world."
"Very good." Puppy Fuye clasped his fists.
During the three or four days of rain, he hardly stopped and perfected the fortifications as quickly as possible.
Before entering the mountain road, he had already considered how to fight this battle and how to stop the Beiyu people. Although it is risky, for Xi Shu, if it delays time, it will be of extraordinary significance.
"Dog Fu, don't die." After taking a few steps, Shangguan Shu suddenly turned around and warned him gently. It has nothing to do with generals and positions, only seniority and youth.
"Uncle Shangguan, don't die." Puppy Fu's voice trembled.
Shangguan Shu laughed loudly, waved to the rear, and with a group of chivalrous guards, sprinted in the rain towards the dangerous battlefield.
"Send the order, the rest of the army will follow me!"
"General Han has an order. We, the people of Shu, will defeat Beiyu this time! If you die, please return to Qishili Tomb Mountain——" One by one, Xi Shu's generals drew their swords and ran quickly, shouting in the rain.
"Whoever comes with me, follow me to kill the enemy and Polu!"
"Roar!"
There were only more than 50,000 Shu soldiers left in the wet mountain road, and the troops were divided into two groups. One of them was an army of more than 40,000 people led by Xiaoxiao Fu, and the other was an army of less than 10,000 people led by Shangguan Shu.
The Beiyu people are attacking from both ends. No matter who looks at it, even if they are victorious, they will think that dividing the troops at this time is a stupid plan.
It seems that only by joining forces together can we effectively block the enemy.
But as luck would have it, Little Dog Fu dared to brave the taboos of military strategists and, while waiting, divided his troops to resist the enemy's army, which was several times larger.
tread.
As a pioneer general, Chang Xiao once again stepped onto the wetland with his tiger-skin shoes. He raised his head, his eyes full of coldness. After waiting for several days, the military order to break Shu finally came.
There wasn't much morale boosting. The rice selling army under his command had always had a low morale. Chang Xiao raised his hand and waved it down coldly.
In just a moment, there were only more than 4,000 rice sellers left, plus the vanguard army of 10,000 people, and they began the first round of killing.
Behind them, an army of 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers from Beiyu followed hurriedly.
"Fill the trenches!"
One after another, simple pontoons were laid on the dug trenches, braving the arrows of the Shu people.
The rain gradually subsided, and the flying arrows were finally put to use. After the enemy's and our own infantry bows were within shooting range, they raised their bows together without fear of death, and threw the rain of arrows into the enemy's position.
After rushing forward for more than ten miles, he was about to rush forward, but at this moment, Chang Xiao wiped a handful of rainwater and his face became stern. In front of him, at some point, a long wall appeared.
The Shu people piled broken rice cakes, dead branches, clay, and many boulders found together to form a long wall.
There were many figures inside the long wall, and bursts of flying arrows were constantly being shot out from the wall.
"Array the shield camp!" Chang Xiao was stunned for a moment, then quickly returned to normal. In his opinion, the long wall built by the Shu people, which only took a few days, was probably as good as tofu and would break into pieces upon impact.
Not long after, under the cover of the Beiyu Shield Battalion, the vanguard of the rice-selling army began to rush forward with their arms in hand, trying to break down the long wall built by the Shu people.
Unexpectedly, only halfway through the rush, someone's feet suddenly slipped on the wet mud ground, as if they stepped on something.
One, three, ten... countless rice sellers fell and rolled on the ground. However, the Shu army in the long wall took advantage of the opportunity to shoot out flying arrows.
Many soldiers from Northern Chongqing were hit by arrows and died immediately on the ground.
"General Chang, the people of Shu have spread kerosene!"
It was impossible to use fire on rainy days, but these Shu people poured all the kerosene they carried on the wet ground outside the wall.
"Continue to build the pontoon bridge!" Chang Xiao gritted his teeth and his eyes were about to burst.
…
On the other side of the mountain road about two or three miles away, Shangguan Shu led an army of less than ten thousand people. They also built a long wall to resist the Beiyu troops rushing from the other end.
With insufficient manpower, the fighting was extremely difficult. Many Xiaerjun fell to the ground after being hit by arrows.
…
"Add 30,000 infantry bows, advance two miles eastward, and rush to the east wall to support the east wall." The puppy Fu stood on the high rock, condescending. After a pause, he ordered the captain of the flag camp beside him to issue military orders immediately.
As long as the army remains in chaos, he will have a chance to block this wave of enemy offensive.
In the mountain road, the 30,000 Xishu bows that had just been thrown from the west wall immediately rushed in formation towards the east wall without any pause.
The intensive projectiles made Shangguan Shu's defense suddenly much easier.
"Adjust the 10,000-step bow and retreat to the west wall. Remember, we must not fall into the situation of being attacked from both sides." Xiaoxiao Fu said calmly.
"Western Wall, push the guarding rolling stones down the slope of the wall."
"Send an order to the east wall, beat drums and startle the enemy, making it difficult to distinguish the true and false enemy troops. Then send an order to General Shangguan. If the defense cannot be maintained, retreat half a mile, retreat to the inner wall, and lead the enemy troops into the trench outside the inner wall."
"On the west wall, pretend to be poorly defended. Wait for the enemy to attack and crush them with rolling stones."
…
No one knows how many more tricks the young man on the high rock has. But at this time, less than a day had passed, and the Beiyu people continued to attack, but they were unable to penetrate the mountain road for a while.
…
At night, on the high rock, the puppy Fu kept looking around. He looked at the wetness around him, and then at the pontoons on the ground outside the wall. For a while, it came to mind again.
