Four hundred and ninetieth chapters war will change
Under the desolate night, the fierce horses roared across the yellow sand. The sound of horse hooves one after another seemed to shake the whole earth to shake and collapse.
"Whip, whip again!" Dong Wen, riding an armored horse, raised his golden-winged spear and roared angrily. Each and every Liangzhou lieutenant general heard his lord's words clearly and started shouting along with him.
The whip was whipped sharply, and the Liangzhou horse was whipped, neighing in pain and moving faster and faster.
"Suppress the Shu dogs, and the children of Shuzhou will die quickly!"
In all directions, Dong Wen was ambushing Liangqi, one level, two levels, and the sand smoke kicked up by the horses' hooves was getting thicker and thicker.
The rider behind was riding Shuzhou Langying. Liang Qi, who was constantly being chased, knocked his horse over and fell off his horse. Those who fell off their horses died, waiting for Haohao Liang's rider to rush past, leaving only pools of grass on the sand.
Broken flesh and blood stains.
Chao Yi had a cold face and was not too panicked.
As early as when they left Shu, it was destined that their interception this time would be an extremely difficult task.
"Continue to rush forward and run into the stone forest ahead!"
The buffer sandy land between Shuzhou and Liangzhou stretches for nearly 80 miles and is completely deserted. In the past, most people traveling between the two states followed the official road by car and horse.
Such a battle out of Shu, let alone after Xu Mu entered Shu, has never happened even if the Dou family has been in charge for two or three hundred years.
Dong Wen was very angry. What he and Sima Xiu wanted to do was to seize Shuzhou. Even if they couldn't seize it, they would still suppress the civilian thieves from leaving Shuzhou.
Fortunately, now, the young wolf general in front of him actually dared to fight with him in a riding battle on the sand.
"Lord, the Shu people have entered the stone forest!"
"Quickly announce this, the army will stop immediately!"
After all, they were rushing too fast. The two or three thousand Liangqi who were in the front were chasing after Dong Wen before they could wait for Dong Wen's order.
As soon as they entered the stone forest, they were surrounded by dense flying arrows. Horses neighed and screamed suddenly. In the end, only a thousand riders were left, and they hurriedly turned their horses and escaped.
Dong Wen was so angry that he laughed back, "In a hurry, Shugou has only these methods left."
"Lord, do you want to surround me?" Dong Yuan rode over.
"Didn't you see clearly? This is the retreat left by the Shu people. Mo Li, return to camp quickly! These idiots are clearly holding back my Liangzhou reinforcements."
Nearly 20,000 Liangqi, under Dong Wen's order, quickly changed direction and headed towards the camp.
But I never thought that Chao Yi, who had changed his military formation and entered the stone forest, led his men to kill him again. He followed behind and used his limited running fire to kill a group of Liang soldiers riding behind, causing them to fall off their horses and scream.
.
"Return to the army and kill all the Shu dogs!" More than ten Liangzhou generals who were behind roared in unison.
But before Liang Qi could turn around, Chao Yi calmly led the people back into the stone forest.
"Dog, dog, Shu dog!" General Pi of Liangzhou cursed.
Dong Wen's eyes were about to burst, and his chest was filled with rage. But in the end, he still resisted the thought of encirclement and suppression.
"Separate two wings and serve as each other's horns to guard against the Shu people and protect the Chinese army."
Although the speed of the army slowed down, it was still able to block the encroachment of the Shu people. When they were farther away, Dong Wen turned around and looked at the Shu cavalry who were chasing them from a distance.
If we could catch the wolf clan Shu general with our own hands, he might be skinned alive, buried in a sand pit and scalded to death under the scorching sun.
"General Chao, the Liang people are going back to camp."
Chao Yi wiped his face covered with dust and did not reply immediately. He was lost in thought for a moment. The King of Liangzhou was not an ordinary person. If he wanted to hold back the Liangqi reinforcements, he would probably go too far.
It’s getting harder and harder to come.
…
It was dawn, and the sandy wind outside Liangzhou City was making a whistling sound.
Holding the Shahu in his arms, Sima Mao entered the carriage with a cold expression.
A huge war drum sounded and immediately exploded. The marching 30,000 Liangzhou spears and shields, with the Dong flag flying, formed square formations and marched forward.
…
Zuo Shiren stood on the boat on the river. When there was no one around him, he cautiously raised his head and looked greedily in the direction of Cangzhou.
"In the battle of the four states, who will win? Queen Su... why should I be guarded against me? She should be guarded against Xu Buyi."
It's a pity that a dense army has been set up on the river bank of Cangzhou. If he forces his way into Cangzhou, he may suffer a bloody blow.
The only way is to mobilize troops from Cangzhou to encircle and suppress Xu Buyi. However, Cangzhou is an imperial state, and its status is not the same as that of Muyunzhou.
"Your mother Xu Zaizi!" Zuo Shiren was extremely angry and cursed loudly. When he turned around, he realized that at some point, a confidant had walked behind him.
Zuo Shiren frowned.
"Did you hear clearly what I just said?"
The confidant was so shocked that he shook his head hurriedly, "Lord, I, I have recently lost my hearing in both ears."
"Nothing, just stay here and watch the sentry." Zuo Shiren smiled and walked straight forward.
The confidant breathed a sigh of relief and clasped his fists in greeting. But when he turned around and looked towards the distance of the river bank, a sharp sword penetrated his back, then came out from his front and stabbed him through.
tread.
Zuo Shiren sighed, raised his legs, and kicked his confidant into the river.
"It's boring...but I, Zuo Shiren, have a reputation for being elegant and benevolent. I need to preserve my reputation. What should I do if you gossip? What should I do if the scandal about me yelling and cursing spreads?"
"In the next life, I will really be deaf."
After wiping away the blood, Zuo Shiren held the corner of his robe and walked back to the cabin gracefully.
…
"Beast." Xu Mu cursed.
According to the reports from the scouts, Zhang Shun mobilized civilians to defend the city. About five to six thousand people, carrying only wooden sticks and farm tools and wearing simple wooden armor, rushed to the city.
"Are there any reinforcements coming from the direction of Cangzhou?"
"General Shen Gong came to report earlier and did not see the reinforcements from Cangzhou." There was General Bi beside him, and he hurriedly and solemnly handed over.
Now, there are only four days left before the ten-day appointment with Dongfang Jing.
As soon as ten days passed, the attack on the city began.
But Xu Mu was still worried after all. The mountain road was difficult to navigate, and Xiao Menghuo had not yet come down the mountain. As for the direction of Cangzhou, as he and Dongfang Jing had said at the beginning, he always felt that a supporting army would come.
For this reason, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of time laying traps on the passage to Cangzhou for help.
"Lord, do you want to evacuate?"
"No rush, just wait." Xu Mu frowned. As the number one family in Cangzhou, Zhang Qi died in the battle on the river, and Zhang Shun was trapped. If Demon Empress Su didn't make any move, the Cangzhou royal family would probably is unconvinced.
"My lord, there is a scout sentry and hurry back."
Xu Mu hurriedly raised his head and found that not far ahead, there were vague figures of two or three people on horseback, riding cautiously towards them.
When entering Muyunzhou, due to waterway problems, it was impossible to transport war horses in large numbers. Only less than a hundred horsemen followed the baggage ships.
These hundred horses were all handed over to Gonggou's sentry camp for the purpose of detecting sentries. Of course, this marksman who refused to accept his fate did not let him down.
