Chapter 168: Xichuan reinforcements arrive like the wind, and Xu Yuanzhi's strategy is revived
Dongfang Qiang led more than 500 "remnants defeated" from Yangping Pass and advanced rapidly towards Baishui Pass.
This kind of marching speed does not feel like a defeated army. The soldiers all walked lightly and had high morale. They wished they could put on their wings and flew directly to Baishui Pass.
Dongfang Qiang was thinking about how to open the city gate and then expand the battle results while defending the position. He never thought that he would meet the Xichuan Army ahead.
"Soldiers, hurry up! Run!"
The mountain road is narrow and rugged. On this Taurus Road, the Xichuan Army's march speed cannot be faster.
The road is just a little wide, and the team of 5,000 people can only queue up and jog.
This made Wu Yi very anxious. If Yang Huai couldn't hold on, Xichuan's portal would be knocked open. At that time, the Wuling Army could use Yangping Pass as a springboard and send troops to harass Xichuan continuously!
As long as you are not careful, Xichuan will be in danger!
Wu Yi could not let this happen, so he kept urging his soldiers to speed up.
On the Wuling Army side, Wu Shun was still repairing in Yangping Pass, but Dongfang Qiang led 500 people to run away.
"A strong general in the East, a large group of people are coming towards you in front!"
The scout who was in charge of the road exploration in front came back to report.
"How many people are there?"
If the number of people is not big, Dongfangqiang considers ambushing a wave. If the number of people on the other side is too large and cannot be provoked, Dongfangqiang has to send someone back to notify Wu Shun.
"Report to the general, about five thousand men!"
The scout replied.
"You should hurry back to Yangping Pass and tell the lord about the situation of this Xichuan reinforcements, and please decide!"
"Yes, General!"
The scout received the order and hurriedly ran towards Yangping Pass! In order to transfer the defeated military uniform, Dongfang Qiang did not bring any war horses. The scout could only run back with two legs.
"Brothers, reinforcements are coming to Xichuan. Let's retreat into the mountains and forests and let them go! It's time to make contributions again!"
Dongfang Qiang knew that Wu Shun must have a way to eat the 5,000 Xichuan reinforcements. So he took his soldiers to temporarily enter the mountains and forests and prevented the Xichuan army from discovering it. After the Xichuan army passed, the five hundred of them could do a lot behind him.
Wu Shun looked down at the entire battlefield from the top of Yangpingguan City, and felt very calm! There were no corpses on the battlefield, but the mottled blood could not be eliminated for a while. The air was still filled with a strong smell of blood.
It was almost time, and Wu Shun was about to get together to catch up with Dongfang Qiang, but he didn't want to be stopped by Xu Shu.
"Lord, I just got the news of the scouts in front. Five thousand reinforcements from Xichuan are coming here. I don't know yet that Yangping Pass has been captured by our army."
"Oh? The five thousand reinforcements were sent by the Dongfang to report?"
“That’s right!”
The Dongfangqiang sent people back, maybe they had already encountered the enemy. Dongfangqiang had only 500 people, how could he resist the attack of 5,000 people? His general was in danger, so Wu Shun naturally could not sit idly by, so he immediately wanted to send troops to support!
"Qua, gather the orders!"
"Lord... lord... unattainable, unattainable!"
When Xu Shu saw Wu Shun's anxious look, a warm current flowed through his heart. It was for Dongfangqiang and for himself. He believed that if one day he encountered danger, Wu Shun would save him as soon as possible.
But at this moment, it is not the best time for the Wuling Army to attack. The Wuling Army had just experienced a siege battle, and the personnel losses were quite large, and the Zihe heavy weapons were seriously damaged! There were still troops that could fight, but they also needed some renovation.
Even if the five thousand reinforcements from Xichuan reach Yangping Pass, they will not be able to take them down for a while.
What the Wuling Army needs now is to repair it, and by the way, wait for the support army to get in, so that they can eat up the five thousand reinforcements at once.
Now, in Yangping Pass, in addition to the 500 people taken away by Dongfangqiang, there are also more than 20,000 people in the White Tiger Legion, Vermilion Bird Legion and Canglang Legion. Four times the reinforcements of Xichuan! As long as the arrangement is well, there is a chance to swallow the 5,000 troops of the Xichuan Army.
After Xu Shu explained his ideas in detail to Wu Shun, Wu Shun felt it was feasible. But he still couldn't let go of Dongfang Qiang's safety.
"My lord, please rest assured. Since General Dongfang can send people back, he naturally has his plans. General Dongfang is a wise general of Wuling Army and will not fight hard easily."
In order to comfort Wu Shun, Xu Shu could only say this. Dongfangqiang usually likes to study military tactics and often discusses military tactics with him. Xu Shu knows very well what kind of talent Dongfangqiang is.
"Yes, that kid is so stingy, don't worry about him."
"Did Yuan Zhi have a clever plan to help me eat this reinforcement army?"
After Xu Shu's persuasion, Wu Shun finally felt relieved. Not to mention, Dongfang Qiang was really not a reckless person. Then Wu Shun began to worry about the 5,000 reinforcements. If he could eat it in one bite, it would be very helpful for attacking Baishui Pass.
"Lord, since the Xichuan reinforcements don't know that Yangping Pass has fallen, then we can..."
"Hahahaha... I don't know who Nishikawa is leading the army. If you meet Yuan Zhi, you will be in trouble!"
After listening to Xu Shu's plan, Wu Shun agreed very much. If it goes well, these 5,000 people will not be able to go back.
...
Dongfangqiang walked out of the mountains and forests, looked at the Xichuan army that was leaving, and immediately ordered:
"Let's go and follow them! When you meet the messenger and scout, you will kill them!"
Wu Yi led his troops to run, but he never expected that his team would have a little tail! Now he was determined to arrive at Yangping Pass as soon as possible to support Yang Huai.
"kill……!"
"Kill..."
The closer you are to Yangping Pass, the clearer the shouts of killing and the collision of weapons you hear.
In Wu Yi's view, this was clearly because the battle between the Yangping Pass defenders and the Wuling Army reached a heightened level.
"Did you hear it? The soldiers of Yangping Pass are fighting bloody battles! Speed up and go to support!"
"kill!"
Wu Yi was giving another order, and he could already hear the shouts of killing. You can imagine the battle situation in front of Yangping Pass. When the soldiers of Xichuan heard the shouts of killing, they were not afraid, but they were also a little impatient.
They were guarding the pass in the past. As long as they were in place, there would be 10,000 troops guarding the pass in Yangping Pass, and it would be as solid as a god.
As soon as the Wuling Army retreated, its military achievements were obtained. What else is more exciting than getting military achievements?
Finally, I saw Yangping Pass, and the generals and soldiers at the pass kept fighting. The Wuling Army had already killed the city. Yang Huai was fighting to the death with a Wuling Army general!
The sound of the orange hammer hitting the gate was particularly harsh. Wu Yi could hear the overwhelmed sound of the city gate from a distance.
"Hurry, come with me to support the city gate!"
Wu Yi knew where the most important thing is now. Although the city was attacked by the Wuling Army, with Yang Huai there, Wu Yi believed that the Wuling Army would not gain any advantage. However, once the Wuling Army broke through the city gate, it would be difficult for them to defend Yangping Pass.
Because of the danger of Yangping Pass, Liu Zhang had already allocated 10,000 troops to guard Yangping Pass. Usually, only two thousand people could defend Yangping Pass!
When Yangping Pass was "in danger", Wu Yi led his troops to arrive. There was no one guarding the back gate of Yangping Pass, which undoubtedly made him a little confused. However, the shouts of killing in front were so fierce that he didn't care about it and led his troops to the battlefield. After entering Yangping Pass, Wu Yi hurriedly led his troops to the city gate area, trying to protect the city gate. Unfortunately, before they approached the city gate, the soldiers running in the front had already fallen to the ground, with arrows on their bodies!
"Yang Huai, what's wrong with you?"
"Hahahaha... see who I am?"
Yang Huai took his head quickly and showed Wu Yi's strange face.
The shouts of killing stopped at this time, and the whole Yangpingguan was quiet...
In this situation, Wu Yi didn't know that he was ambushed in him. But what he didn't understand was why Yang Huai's five thousand men could not defend this Yangping Pass!
If Yang Huai could speak now, he would definitely tell Wu Yi: Go and try guarding. The big rocks of millstones are flying all over the sky, and arrows are as dense as rain. Three powerful generals of the Wuling Army attack in three directions. How can I defend?
"Hahahaha, I wonder who is leading the troops?"
Wu Shun was very happy. He used Xu Shu's strategy and indeed tricked Xichuan reinforcements into it. Now both gates have been closed. Wu Yi's five thousand Xichuan troops can't get out.
Surrounded by 20,000 Wuling Army in a dangerous pass, surrounded by his territory. Wu Yi felt that this world was simply crazy. When did he become so stupid, he clearly found the clue.
"Wu Yi, how dare you ask me?"
Losing means losing, the only one who dies. Wu Yi is not a person who is afraid of death. But he really wants to know who he was deceived by.
"Hahaha... I won't change my name or sit down... Well, I am the general of the Western Expedition, Wu Shun, the prefect of Wuling, General Wu Yi, I am lucky to meet him. Both of us have surnames Wu, can we come up and have a drink? Maybe I will still be my family."
Wu Yi and the 5,000 Xichuan Army were already in the jar, and Wu Shun was not worried that he could fly. As long as he gave his order and ten thousand arrows were fired at once, these people would have to go back to find the ancestors and ancestors.
"Oh, it's time and fate..."
