Xu Mu raised his head, feeling ecstatic in his heart. There was no problem with the plan. Zuo Shiren, the leader, was really going to escape to the southeast river bank.
"Lord, there is the Duanhou Camp in Dongling!"
"Nothing, annihilate the Duanhou camp in Dongling first!" Xu Mu ordered in a deep voice. At this time, after Zuo Shiren left the official road, it would be difficult to join forces with other reinforcements.
"kill--"
The two Dongling camps in the back were extremely tenacious. It took a lot of effort by the Shu army to defeat these people.
When Xu Mu looked up again, he discovered that Zuo Shiren had taken the remaining troops of his headquarters and fled farther and farther away. The Donglai Phalanx, which had been defeated, had also been reorganized by Yuan Song, and was about to pursue his plan.
"The great plan of the King of Shu!" Yuan Song held his hands and his voice was extremely excited. Under this situation, Zuo Shiren did not join the reinforcements, so there would be a greater chance to kill him!
An army of more than 7,000 men was currently fighting its way out of the siege along the southeastern river bank.
"Lord, what I said was not wrong! I've been waiting all the way. There are no enemy troops anywhere!" Wu Fu, who was in charge, looked ecstatic.
"I told you earlier, I, Wu Fu, am also familiar with the art of war!"
"Wu Fu, you did a good job this time! When you return to Dongling, I will naturally reward you heavily!" Zuo Shiren also laughed.
Wu Fu was not wrong. After the breakout, there were no ambushing enemy troops for at least ten miles. At most, there were some enemy sentries. After seeing them, they fled in fright.
"When we get to the river bank, we light up the wolf smoke platform, and we can go back to Dongling!" Zuo Shiren's voice was excited, even with a hint of unnoticeable crying.
On the river surface, the Dongling Navy was patrolling back and forth. After lighting the beacon, they would definitely see their call for help and rush over to respond.
He raised his head and looked in the direction of the river in a daze. In a daze, Zuo Shiren felt that he had returned to the palace in Lingzhou, and was leisurely lying on the throne, drinking wine, served by several princesses.
"Listen to my military orders——"
"Hurry to the river bank!"
As soon as he thought about this, Zuo Shiren raised his head and his voice was extremely loud.
…
One day later, Lingsu, who had abandoned the pass, led his remaining army of more than 40,000 people and marched downhill along the official road to the south.
On the way, they even caught up with Hongzhen. At this time, Hongzhen had already wasted too much time in entering the forest to kill, and there were only more than 4,000 men left under his command.
"master……"
"Huh." Ling Su said with a cold face and did not have an attack. At this moment, rescuing Zuo Shiren was still the most important thing.
"Hurry up and gather your troops and follow me to help King Zuo."
Ling Su didn't dare to delay. If it was too late, something had happened to Zuo Shiren. The foundation for the King of Grain to enter the mausoleum was not stable, and he was afraid that he would not get anything.
"Master, don't worry!"
The troops were gathered together. At this time, Ling Su's men and horses had reached an army of 50,000, and the momentum was huge.
"Hurry, don't delay!"
Under Ling Su's urging, these 50,000 men finally rushed to the southern front line non-stop. However, in this place where the fight was originally fought, apart from the mess and the corpses of those who died in the battle, Zuo Shiren was nowhere to be found.
silhouette.
"Master, have you gone to the dock?" Hong Zhen said carefully.
"It's possible."
It would be the best thing if Zuo Shiren succeeded in breaking through early. But soon, Ling Su was disappointed.
Not long after, an army of more than 20,000 people came in a hurry from the direction of the dock in the south.
"Military advisor... where is my lord?" The general at the shipyard looked anxious.
"Didn't you go to the dock?"
"Never seen it."
Ling Su frowned, "If you don't go to the south dock, where can you go? Send someone quickly to investigate the nearby area."
Not long after, the Dongling Duanhou camp finally collapsed and escaped from the woods.
"Military advisor, my lord has gone to the river bank in the southeast!"
After hearing this sentence, Ling Su's expression changed drastically. He reached out excitedly and grabbed the soldier who was speaking, "Can you tell me again, is it true that my lord... went to the southeast?"
"I dare not deceive the military advisor, that's why."
"Damn it!" Ling Su closed his eyes in pain and pushed the soldier away.
"My lord has fallen into a trap."
Around Lingsu, many Dongling generals looked frightened when they heard Lingsu's words.
"If the lord stays here, it won't be long before he can join forces with various forces. At that time, he will naturally be able to repel the enemy's siege. But now, the lord fell into a trick and took the remaining army to the southeast to escape.
I’m afraid a disaster will happen!”
Ling Su dared to conclude that in the southeast direction, there must be a back-up manipulator under Xu Buyi, and it would be impossible for Zuo Shiren to successfully return to the river and then back to Dongling.
"Military advisor, what should we do now?"
Ling Su's eyes darkened, "If we go to the southeast for rescue, I'm afraid we will also fall into Xu Buyi's poisonous plan. You know, going in the southeast direction, you have to pass through a lot of swamps, and you are most likely to be ambushed. But
If you don’t go, my lord will be in dire straits.”
"Damn Xu Buyi, the most traitor in the world."
No matter what, Zuo Shiren will definitely be rescued, there is no doubt about this.
"Hong Zhen, I order you to give up your merits and lead your troops to investigate first. Remember, every half mile, you must report back to the main camp. Don't be too troublesome. At this time, Dongling has reached an extremely critical moment.
." After hesitating for a while, Ling Su calmly ordered.
He did not dare to think what would happen to the entire Dongling if Zuo Shiren died here. Now, the interests of the Liang King's men and Dongling were firmly tied together.
"Everyone, I hope we can work together to rescue our lord!"
Under Ling Su's encouragement, Dongling's 70,000-strong army, which was originally lifeless, gradually regained some morale.
"go ahead!"
…
"The strategy of leading the sheep has been successful. The next step is to kill the leader and make the various armies in Dongling fall into a panic without a leader." Xu Mu spoke in a solemn voice while riding on the horse.
In front, Zuo Shiren, who was about to rush to the river bank, was blocked by ambushing troops and was temporarily trapped in place.
You must know that when the sheep-hunting plan started, Li Xiaoyao had already led his people to ambush him first.
Yuan Song, who was following, couldn't help but raise his head and laugh when he heard Xu Mu's words.
Without the worry of reinforcements, coupled with the superior terrain, it would be enough to kill Zuo Shiren within two or three days.
"Prince Yuan, how long will it take for Shen Tu Guan's army to arrive?" Xu Mu was a little worried and asked one more question. After all, only once Shen Tu Guan's army arrives will the entire battle be settled.
Compared with the various reinforcements in Dongling, at this time, their number of troops was ultimately too small.
"Don't worry, King Shu. I, Shentu Guan from Donglai, is a famous general in the world. After learning about King Shu's clever plan, I will definitely come as quickly as possible to join you!"
