"In order to rescue Zuo Shiren, we only need to hold the leader of the sheep, Zuo Shiren, and the rest of the people in Dongling will pursue in the same direction in order to rescue Zuo Shiren. In this way, we will have a chance to counterattack.
"While riding on the horse, Xu Mu continued to speak seriously.
"But now, King Yuan still needs to do one thing. Shentu Guan needs to move faster so that he can arrive in time to join the battle."
"Understood, I will immediately send a letter to Shen Tu Guan, asking him to put the overall situation first and come to the battle as quickly as possible." Seeing that there was another opportunity, Yuan Song's eyes suddenly changed.
Full of energy.
"Very good." Xu Mu nodded.
"King Yuan, what you and I have to do now is drive the sheep. Zuo Shiren's sheep is not easy to deceive. In about half an hour, I will gather the Western Shu army and go around to the west of the Dongling Formation.
On the other side, they were beating drums and blowing trumpets, pretending to be attacking from a flank. King Yuan was on this side, opening a loophole in the east. The news was cut off, and in a panic, Zuo Shiren was not willing to surrender, and would follow the loophole.
Flaw and escape."
"King Shu, what if he doesn't escape?"
"He will escape. Don't look at Zuo Shiren's pretentiousness, but this man's ambition is the greatest in the world. Therefore, he is absolutely unwilling to die here. Moreover, there are also shipyards on the east bank of the river, and there are also
The patrolling Tangling Navy also has the opportunity to return to Tangling."
"The king of Shu is trying to figure out people's hearts...it's really scary." He couldn't tell whether it was a compliment or a concern. Yuan Song was silent for a while, then said something.
Xu Mu didn't care. For a long period of time, Donglai was still regarded as an ally of Xi Shu, even though his lips were dead and his teeth were cold.
"Prince Yuan, you and I will follow this plan and make preparations in advance."
Yuan Song nodded, "Don't worry, King Shu. This time, even if Zuo Shiren cannot be killed, he will still suffer a lot."
…
In the formation, Zuo Shiren was filled with anger and stood coldly with his sword in his hand. The war has reached this point, and he has hardly taken a break.
Yuan Song, who was on the opposite side, seemed to be like a madman, constantly launching attacks again and again. But fortunately, his elite troops were able to hold on after all.
At this time, Zuo Shiren did not dare to count the number of people at all. He only watched as the originally huge formation slowly shrank and then shrunk. Under visual inspection, it was no longer an army of ten thousand people.
But there were no reinforcements coming from both directions. Even if he used the smoke tactic, he was still worried that the general guarding the dock was mediocre and could not see the meaning of the smoke at all.
"My lord, the people of Shu are behind us!"
"Damn it, here it comes again!" Beside Zuo Shiren, a man who looked like a general gritted his teeth, "It must be another round of flanking attack."
In the past, battles like this happened not once or twice.
"Even the Tiger General from Western Shu came forward."
Zuo Shiren was irritated when he heard this. Xu Buyi was unjust, and Yuan Song was even more of a lunatic. If the formation was really broken, he would be dead. But in such a huge world, how could he be willing to accept it before he even took a bite?
"Hold the enemy troops! Gun and shield formation, prepare to assemble!"
"The foot-bow camp is also prepared!"
In the big formation, the rifles, bows, guns and shields who had not yet taken a breath, hurriedly gathered together after hearing the military order. This battle has been fought so far, and it is nothing more than hanging on with a sense of courage. Whenever the big formation is broken,
, I'm afraid that morale will completely collapse.
"Hold against both sides, step and bow, and pluck the strings!"
In order to save arrows, Dongling's foot and bow camp has been reduced to three steps per person, but even so, dense flying arrows are still whistling and thrown down from the top of the head.
clang clang clang.
The flying arrow landed on the shield, pricking the entire shield into an airtight hedgehog.
"Kill!"
At both ends of the Dongling formation, there were also bursts of fighting sounds. Accompanied by bursts of falling fire arrows, trying to burn the entire array out of flames.
"Yuziying, put out the fire quickly!"
In the large formation, a group of hundreds of soldiers used broken treetops to quickly extinguish the fallen fire arrows.
"Donglai Iron Camp, follow me and charge!"
The first group of Donglai phalanx to attack had already reached the front. Changmu, who was holding the charge, roared and crashed into the Dongling shield formation.
Bang.
The two or three Aventurine Shield Soldiers at the head were hit by the huge force and instantly vomited blood and flew away. But soon, another gun shield soldier came up and stabbed more than half of the dozen people who collided to death. After hitting the wood,
He also lost strength and rolled to the ground.
"Don't retreat!" Zuo Shiren saw in horror. If the shield array could not be defended, he would definitely die.
"I have received the information. Reinforcements will be coming in half a day. Everyone who has returned to Tangling is a man of great merit!"
Zuo Shiren falsely reported the information and only hoped that the elite of his headquarters could continue to withstand the enemy's offensive.
Under Zuo Shiren's encouragement, in an instant, the exhausted remnants of the headquarters seemed to have regained a lot of morale, roaring angrily and fighting endlessly with the allied forces charging into the formation.
They even broke through the phalanx of three Donglai people in a row, killing the enemy until they abandoned their armor and retreated.
Zuo Shiren was overjoyed when he saw this.
"Quick, continue to organize our formation! Resist the enemy!"
After guarding the east side, Zuo Shiren quickly turned around and looked at the position to the west. Fortunately for him, the battle in the west formation was still safe and sound. Even the tiger general of Western Shu was in the dense crowd.
Under defense, the same cannot be gained.
"Lord, we have broken five formations in a row!"
Zuo Shiren turned around and stepped forward, stretched his head and looked forward, and found that the Donglai soldiers in the east could not even attack, and they were actually in a rout.
"Okay, wonderful!" Zuo Shiren looked at it, his face instantly filled with ecstasy.
"My lord, this is a great opportunity." There was a confidant general beside him who couldn't help but rejoice, "My lord, now that the two families have divided their forces, we will have a chance."
"What should I say? We have divided troops before."
"But previously, the Donglai Army was not defeated. My lord, there are Xishu people who are replenishing their strength in the south and west, making it difficult to break out. But the Donglai Army has been exhausted after days of attacking, so you can
Look at today, even rushing for several battles has no effect."
"I, Wu Fu, also know the art of war. This is the best opportunity to break through. My lord, leave two thousand people behind to block the Shu people in the south and west. After we kill the Donglai people in the east, we can directly attack
Run towards the river bank. Don’t forget that there is a beacon tower on the river bank. Once the beacon smoke is lit, my navy from Dongling will rush to respond immediately."
Zuo Shiren was still thinking about it and did not agree immediately.
He stared ahead, constantly lost in thought.
Until, I saw the Donglai people's phalanx again, and they were defeated one after another and fled.
"Lord, if we stay here, we don't know when the reinforcements will arrive. We will definitely die." Wu Fu, who knew the art of war, was still trying to persuade him earnestly.
"As long as we get to the river bank, we can go back to Dongling! I have been familiar with the art of war since I was a child. If I am not wrong, the enemy army at this time has put all its troops into the encirclement and suppression. After breaking out of the encirclement,
, the rear must be empty."
Zuo Shiren gritted his teeth and looked back and forth for a long time. There were only two choices before him. One was to stay here and continue to resist the attack until reinforcements arrived.
The other one, according to Wu Fu's instructions, broke out from the weaker east side, rushed to the river bank, lit the beacon tower, and asked the Dongling Navy to respond.
"Wu Fu, let me ask one more question, are you serious... you have been familiar with the art of war since you were a child?" Zuo Shiren asked, probably to comfort himself.
"Of course, everything is perfect!" Wu Fu, who knew the art of war, replied seriously.
"Okay! Go and send an order to Yu Ziying and Changshui Camp to form a formation and cut off the rear in the name of resisting the Shu people. The remaining ones are ready to assemble and break through to the east, then follow the southeast direction and fight all the way to the river bank!
