Chapter 545: Capture the thief first and capture the king first
The chief general of Wenlang City is called Dong Chu, a branch of the Liangzhou royal family. Seriously speaking, in addition to blood, he has some connections with Liang Wang Dong Wen. Although he is not a formal disciple, he can also be regarded as the career of Liangzhou Langjian.
Of course, they are incomparable to those like Dong Wen who broke into the house.
Dong Chu, who was carrying an ox-horn bow and had a strong body, was still full of energy even though he was nearly fifty. He raised his weathered face wearing a tiger helmet. At this time, Dong Chu was full of fighting spirit.
"General, we are less than fifty miles away from Lucheng!"
"Send more scouts to find out more about the situation in Lucheng."
He was happy to ask for help when the war broke out in Lucheng. The good bow in his hand had not been stained with blood for a long time. The Dong family had been in Liangzhou for hundreds of years, and there was a tower in the ancestral temple. He prayed all the time that he could shoot
After a great victory, relying on the treasured bow in his hand and the military strategy in his mind, he entered Dong's general tower with dignity.
As for Lao Wang's death, he didn't feel too sad. The eight counties of Liangzhou should have had an enterprising leader long ago. Obviously, Dong Wen met the requirements.
"My precious eagle bow should drink blood."
"March urgently, respond to the defenders of Lucheng, and attack Shuzhou Xu Buyi from a flank!"
…
One day later, the sky in the south of Liangzhou became darker and darker.
The momentum of the Shu army's attack did not stop. When the tired army retreated, another phalanx would continue to replace them and attack the city to kill the enemy.
Similarly, at the top of Lucheng, in order to defend the city, Ronggong even mobilized its reserve battalion, trying every possible means to block the attacking Shu army.
"General, the soldiers are so exhausted that it is difficult to draw the bow."
"Of course I know." Rong Gong gritted his teeth. Under this situation, not only the soldiers, but also him, did not take a break for two days and two nights.
But there was no way, the Shu people's offensive was too fierce, and the commoner thief would not give up unless he captured Lucheng.
"Go and take inventory of the luggage. The people in Lucheng only have tung oil and oil, so they must be donated to defend the city."
General Pi took the order and left.
Rong Gong's eyes were fixed outside the city for a while, and then looked to the east. He could only hope that the reinforcements from Wenlang City could reach Lucheng safely and attack the Shu people.
"attack!"
An old assistant general of General Xu roared, his white hair flying in the sandy wind.
Behind General Lao Pi, a new round of siege phalanx continued to march towards Lucheng. The front formation raised their shields to cover, and the rear formation aimed their bows. After a wave of stone throws, they approached the city gate and launched the dense flying missiles.
Arrow, throw it towards the top of the city.
"Surface truck, push the crash truck over again!"
For two days and two nights, at least four broken city rush vehicles failed to break open the gate of Lucheng. Si Hu cursed his mother, and the thick armor he wore was already covered with gunpowder smoke and sand dust.
Xu Mu raised his head with a heavy gaze.
He was confident that as long as Jia Zhou succeeded in his reinforcements and intercepted Wenlang City's reinforcements, the Lucheng in front of him would definitely be in Shuzhou's possession.
Over in Liangzhou City, Sima Hu and Dong Wen were about to start dealing with it.
…
In the stone forest, Jia Zhou was still sitting firmly, but his body was still a little weak and he would occasionally cough.
"Strategist, strategist, the reinforcements from Wenlang City are less than five miles away!" A scout came to report.
Hearing this sentence, Jia Zhou showed a faint smile.
"Send the order and all the armies will take cover. In addition, notify General Dou Tong and General Fan Lu to both sides to use signal arrows to ambush and mobilize reinforcements."
"Take your orders!"
Leaning on the wooden staff, Jia Zhou stood up. Even though he was a scholar, at this moment, Jia Zhou's eyes rarely showed the will to fight.
"My lord's great cause of domination begins with Po Liang."
A sudden wind blew, making the robe of the old scribe whistle.
Outside the east side of Stone Forest.
Dong Chu was riding on his armored horse, not forgetting to caress his beloved war bow.
"General Dong, we are going to the Stone Forest. After the Stone Forest, we will reach Lucheng."
"Is there any reward for spying?"
"Previously, there was no problem with reporting every five miles."
"Wait a moment." Dong Chu frowned.
As soon as he finished speaking, in the stone forest ahead, several people riding Liangzhou sentry posts began to wave red silk in the distance.
"General, no problem!"
"March." Dong Chu smiled. He only needed to pass through the stone forest, and then the encirclement of Xu Buyi was completed.
It's time for his treasured bow to drink blood.
…
Click.
A few flashes of sword light flashed by, and the corpses of several Liangzhou sentries were lying on the ground. They put away their daggers, and a solemn expression appeared on Gongou's face.
As a former scout, he naturally understands the matters regarding scouts and sentries.
"General Xu, the enemy is about to enter the stone forest."
"ambush."
The crowd of people at the entrance to the stone forest suddenly disappeared.
There was silence all around. There were only a few or two little beasts looking for food. Seeing the silence, they finally emerged cautiously.
tread.
The first sound of horse hooves hit the ground, and one of the little beasts was about to run away——
"Go!"
The feather arrow pierced the little beast's head, and blood spurted out.
"General Dong's Divine Bow!"
"It's just a temporary itch." Dong Chu smiled with satisfaction and put away his treasured bow again, "Let's continue marching. After passing the stone forest, Xu Buyi will die."
As he spoke, Dong Chu was already a little impatient.
"The general has orders, continue marching through the stone forest!"
The nearly 15,000 Wenlang City reinforcements were quite high-spirited and began to rush forward along the narrow stone forest road.
After walking about half the way, Dong Chu, holding the bow in his arms, suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, why are the previous scouts missing?"
Before Dong Chu could finish his words, suddenly, there was the sound of huge rocks falling all around. Along with this, there were flying arrows all over the sky, shooting out from both sides.
In just a short while, many of the hundreds of knights in the leading army fell off their horses and were killed by arrows.
"General, there is an ambush!"
"Damn it!"
Dong Chu's face turned pale, and a murderous intent emerged from his face. He quickly raised his bow and shot a Shu soldier who was ambushing him to death.
"The army obeyed the order and quickly passed through the stone forest!"
Unfortunately, when the more than 10,000 Liang troops were about to move forward, another wave of boulders fell down, completely blocking the way forward.
"General, the road ahead is blocked!"
"Retreat, exit the stone forest first!"
Thousands of horsemen who opened the road turned their horses one after another. However, the terrain was long and narrow, and within a short time, dozens of their own soldiers were trampled to death for no apparent reason.
What frightened Dong Chu even more was that when he was thinking of exiting the stone forest, he never expected that the retreat would also be filled with boulders, blocking the retreat.
"Formation with a round shape! Liang Qi abandons his horse and joins the infantry to block the enemy's attack first!" At this moment, Dong Chu felt his head buzzing and he kept giving frantic orders.
"General, four, there are Shu people everywhere!"
"I know he is from Shu!" Dong Chu gritted his teeth, his hands were trembling, and he held on to the bow tightly. Then, he looked around, and when he saw Dou Tong not far away from the side, showing his body to give instructions, his face changed.
A burst of ecstasy.
He recognized that this was the former Shunan King of Shuzhou.
"Capture, capture the thief first and capture the king first!"
Dong Chu stretched his bow, nocked his arrow, and suppressed the excitement in his heart. He was ready to break the bow and shoot the former King of Southern Shu.
call out.
Before he could complete his dream of killing the general, another small arrow shot forward and pierced his head.
Dong Chu screamed, fell off his horse and died holding the bow in his arms.
"Capture the thief first and capture the king first! The enemy general has been shot dead by Xu Changgong!"
A thin figure seemed to have exhausted his last strength, standing on the stone forest, raising his head and roaring.
Following this sound, there were crazy cheers all around in the blink of an eye.
