It is said that the troops are divided into three groups, but in fact, including Ling Su's own troops, it is already a four-way army.
"What I want is very simple." Ling Su raised his head and looked at the night ahead, "Shen Tu Guan claims that he is unrivaled in ancient formations. If he follows me and divides his troops to defend, then his ancient formations will not pose much of a threat.
.”
"Our troops will immediately return to the Chenshui Pass area. If Shen Tu Guan is brave enough, we will come over to tackle the problem!"
"Leader's order!"
It has to be said that although Lingsu's move was extremely risky, it ultimately put the steady Shen Tuguan into a difficult situation. There was no way he could ignore the three men who went to Donglai.
But if the troops are divided, for Donglai sergeants who are good at formations, the number of people will be divided and they will inevitably be inferior.
"General, if these people are allowed to invade Donglai, the consequences will be disastrous."
Shen Tu Guan's face was still calm.
"Of course I know. But have you noticed? Although it is a clever plan, in fact, Ling Su is already in a hurry to rescue Zuo Shiren."
"Mo Li, let them go." Shen Tuguan's eyes were clear, "As long as it doesn't touch Donglai's bottom line, then neither the lord nor I can bear it."
"Pass an order, the entire army must not move and camp in place. In addition, the manpower for patrols will be stepped up."
Shen Tu Guan's response made Ling Su confused for a moment. As a general, he did not prioritize defending the territory. What on earth did Shen Tu Guan want to do?
Outflanking from behind? If encircling from behind, it doesn't mean much. You must know that this is just a division of troops. Most of the troops are still in the Chenshui Pass area. If Shentu Guan dares to outflank from behind, he will send a large army to respond. I'm afraid
The Dongnae Army was completely in despair.
"Military advisor, the Donglai people have set up camp."
"Got it."
There was no fight tonight, which made Ling Su a little dissatisfied. If time were delayed, it would be even more disadvantageous for Yu Dongling.
"Organize the dead soldiers to steal the camp and don't give the Donglai people a chance to breathe."
…
For a time, the war seemed to be in a stalemate in front of Chenshui Pass. But more than a hundred miles south, at this time, Zuo Shiren only had more than 10,000 men left.
Xu Buyi stopped talking.
The most terrifying thing is that Yuan Song. This time, he vowed to kill him here and kept sending out large armies to attack. Seeing that the entire formation was on the verge of collapse.
No longer as elegant as before, Zuo Shiren at this moment put his long sword on the ground, glanced at the bloody scene around him, and couldn't help but let out a breath of air.
He regretted it so much, he should have listened to Ling Su long ago.
"Why haven't you heard back from the scouts you sent out?" Zuo Shiren turned his head and looked at a general beside him. If this continues, it will take at least one or two days for them to be killed when the formation is broken.
It was obviously not that far away from the dock. However, there was no news from any of the people sent out.
"Lord, we have been sending people out. I don't know, it's Xu Buyi's people who are intercepting and killing the scouts."
Zuo Shiren closed his eyes in pain and kept thinking in his heart.
Not only the people at the dock, but also the people at Chenshui Pass should have noticed it. But similarly, no reinforcements came.
"Lord, the enemy troops are coming again!"
Zuo Shiren opened his eyes and looked up, and found that in front of him, Yuan Song had assembled his formation again. After a while, he threw waves of fire arrows down.
"block!"
Large shields were raised, blocking most of the falling fire arrows. The remaining small portion, even if some fires started, were quickly extinguished.
Zuo Shiren looked at the scattered sparks and suddenly seemed to have figured out something.
"Is there a beacon tower nearby?"
"My lord, we have searched everything. The nearest Wolf Smoke Tower is at least ten miles away."
Zuo Shiren gritted his teeth and said, "I can't care less. You immediately send someone to collect some dry firewood. After dark, light fires in ten places, then spread them with half-wet grass and let thick smoke rise."
"Over at the dock, if we can see it, we will come to rescue. It's a pity that we can't use the beacon tower."
Under Zuo Shiren's order, two to three hundred soldiers soon began to follow the surroundings of the formation, collecting dry firewood and dry grass. They only waited until dark to signal the smoke.
"Xu Buyi's plan is really cruel. And Yuan Song is like a villain who has his way. He wants to destroy me Dongling immediately!"
Even though his tone was relatively calm, Zuo Shiren was filled with hatred in his heart at this time.
…
In front of the Dongling Formation.
Xu Mu's eyes were staring steadily ahead. This time, things were a bit unexpected. He did not expect that Zuo Shiren's elite troops would be so tenacious. Under the continuous charges, there were quite a few people who could not stop him.
momentum.
Zuo Shiren couldn't afford it, and the Western Shu Allied Forces couldn't afford it either. Even if the most secure arrangements were made, still, if there was a problem with one of the moves, the entire advantage of the game would be completely destroyed.
twist.
"My lord, the people from King Yuan's side have returned again."
Xu Mu nodded. It has always been Yuan Song's long-cherished wish to kill Zuo Shiren. For this reason, at this time, Yuan Song would attack regardless.
However, this Dongling army was well-equipped and was not defeated. I don’t know how many times Yuan Song’s troops constantly changed their reserve camps and tried to break away from the enemy’s formation, but they failed.
"It's getting dark again."
Unconsciously, another day passed. From the beginning to the present, it has been close to two days to besiege Zuo Shiren. If there were no Dongling reinforcements, according to Xu Mu's estimation, Zuo Shiren would be able to be defeated in one day at most.
The tired army of benevolence.
"Lord, look, what is that?"
Xu Mu was startled, then raised his head, and suddenly saw more than ten plumes of thick smoke suddenly rising into the sky in the dusky sky. Especially at night, it looked even clearer.
After just thinking about it, he looked startled, "Zuo Shiren is raising the alarm. If I am not mistaken, I must have informed the dock so that reinforcements can be sent to meet him."
According to the distance, reinforcements will arrive by noon tomorrow, and as long as the garrison general at the dock is not stupid.
…
It was dozens of miles away from Zuo Shiren.
Hong Zhen turned pale with anger and took the risk. He finally led his men and rushed to the bend of the official road. Unfortunately, the traps were scattered and there was no actual harm. In other words, this was simply a trick to deceive the enemy, but he still
Fell into a trap.
The march was delayed and there was no way to rush to the rescue of Zuo Shiren as quickly as possible. The most important thing was that during the delay, the enemy's unpredictable bow almost killed half of the people.
Now, there were only more than 6,000 troops left behind him.
"Damn it, don't let me catch that enemy general!"
"After passing the big bend, the whole army will march immediately!" Hong Zhen quickly ordered without intending to delay any longer. Unfortunately, the enemy behind them did not let them go. They continued to throw their bows in a long-range formation.
In the blink of an eye, dozens more people fell into a pool of blood.
"Damn it, it's been dragging on for nearly two days!" Hong Zhen raised his knife and became furious.
In the dark night, Puppy Fu's face hidden in the woods is resolute and calm, looming.
