This warrior is so fierce

Chapter 242 Counterattack
Cao Su was greatly praised by Fan Long.

He praised Cao Su as an example in the army.

Fan Long's army rested here for three days, and then Fan Long held another military meeting.

Discuss with the generals about the next march route.

"According to the arrangement of the military adviser, in the next step, our army should have a strong general guarding the Cangjiang main road, and at the same time, the rest of the troops will march towards Yangchuan and Xiting."

Fan Long joined the army under his command, and drew out the marching route of Fan Long's army on the map.

Both Yangchuan and Xiting are strongholds that Fan Long's army can attack next.

One is in the south, and you can take the mountain road to go there. When Liu Chuang escaped before, he took this road.

If you attack this stronghold, you may encounter Liu Chuang in the future.

The other place is to go around the mountain, and even have to walk through some waterways, and the place is more remote.

"There are many rebels in Yangchuan, and Xiting is where some of the rebels' food is stored."

"If we take Xiting, we must guard against the enemy's counterattack in Yangchuan."

After joining the army, everyone turned their attention to Fan Long.

Fan Long frowned and said, "Yangchuan is already a dangerous place, but now there are Wu Dun, Liu Chuang and many other thieves, it is not easy to attack. I intend to take Xiting first, burn the enemy's food reserves, and shake their morale."

Take the West Pavilion first, and then detour around the Lushan boundary, so that the defenders of Yangchuan will inevitably retreat.

Fan Long's choice is not surprising.

"But if we take Xiting, what if the Yangchuan bandit army invades?"

The thousand generals under Fan Long raised doubts.

"Xiting is at least guarded by more than 7000 elite soldiers. It is not advisable to have 7000 troops. If the [-] troops in Cangjiang City are taken away, the defense of Cangjiang City will be weak and will be captured by the enemy. In this way, taking Xiting seems like It doesn't make much sense either, the place is still in a tug of war."

The momentum of the horns can't be done without one.

Fan Long said in a deep voice: "So, I need someone to guard Cangjiang City."

Defend Cangjiang City?Just use the remaining 3000 troops?

The faces of the thousands of generals in the hall changed, and no one dared to speak anymore, for fear of being called by Fan Long.

Cangjiang City is not a dangerous city, not to mention strength fighters, even blood fighters, with a little leverage, they can directly cross over.

This is not a city wall, at most it is a wall.

Relying on such a city to defend is not much different from direct field battles.

3000 people, in the future, it may be [-] people or even more.

Can this hold?

Fan Long didn't seem to notice the change in the atmosphere, and continued: "3000 troops will defend Cangjiang City for ten days. After ten days, I will take down the Xiting, and the news will spread here, and the Wanping Army will collapse without fighting."

Fan Long glanced around the crowd and asked, "Is there any general who is willing to take on this important task?"

There was silence in the hall, no one spoke, and even many people lowered their heads.

Only Cao Su held his head up and looked at Fan Long.

Fan Long immediately locked on to Cao Su.

Cao Su smiled and said, "Lord Fan, will the mage group be left to me?"

"The Taoists in the Taoist Palace, I can only leave you two who specialize in water kung fu, and I will take the other three away."

Fan Long replied subconsciously, and immediately came to his senses.

It turned out that deep down in his heart, he had already determined that this position belonged to Cao Su.

Cao Su didn't refuse, but kept asking for some prerequisites.

"Lord Fan, if we stay in Cangjiang City, our army will not be strong enough. We need large shields, bows and arrows, spears and other weapons."

Fan Long said domineeringly: "Here you are!"

"Fiery pork meat, war horses, grains."

"Give!"

"The enemy may have more than two fifth-rank masters attacking"

"Which general under my command do you take a fancy to?"

Asking for money, people, and weapons, Fan Long was satisfied with everything.

Those generals who didn't agree to Fan Long were somewhat appreciative, but when they thought of the terrifying counterattack that Cao Su was about to face, they had nothing to envy.

For ten days, you know, Liu Chuang faced officers and soldiers stronger than himself, but he didn't even stand up for ten hours.

"No matter what your request is, for ten days, I need you to stand against the opponent for ten days. After ten days, either I will lead the army back to Cangjiang City, or I have entered the hinterland of Lushan. In both cases, you can relieve your siege. .”

Fan Long stared at Cao Su firmly, and solemnly issued the final military order to Cao Su.

Cao Su clasped his fists and accepted this extreme challenge.

Fan Long was a little bit emotional, the officers and men used to boast about being strong and powerful, but they softened at the critical moment, and none of them dared to take on the big responsibility.

Only the newcomer Cao Su not only fought bravely, but also took the lead every time, and dared to meet the challenge.

Even he himself felt that this task was too difficult, and he would not be surprised if Cao Su lost Cangjiang City because of this.

Therefore, there is no false routine such as issuing "military orders".

Fan Long directly poured a glass of wine and handed it to Cao Su.

"Cao Su, the back road of a certain family is all in your hands!"

Cao Su took the wine glass from Fan Long and drank it down.

"Don't worry, my lord, there will be no return to discipline Wan Pingjun!"

After making a big plan.

On the second day, Fan Long's army cooked food at the fourth watch and raised the army at the fifth watch.

It was dawn, and all the troops and horses, big and small, set off and headed east, bypassing the Beixun Mountain.

According to Cao Su's request, the city still planted banners and bluffed.

Suspicion of the soldiers will not last long.

Especially in Cangjiang City, where there are still many detection posts of the Wanping Army.

Soon, Liu Chuang, who was resting in Yangchuan, got the news.

Yangchuan is a stronghold, one of the strongholds built by the Wanping Army in the Lushan boundary.

It was built at the foot of the mountain, blocking the main road in and out of the valley.

More than [-] elite soldiers are practicing here and have been waiting in full force.

Liu Chuang hastily broke into the camp of the head coach in the stronghold, showing joy.

"Wu Shuai, there is news from Cangjiang City!"

Wu Dun was one of the top ten marshals of the Wanping Army. After raising his troops, he followed General Jingu and swept Ruzhou, and then entered Jiangzhou and entered the Lushan border.

Lushan is the intersection of the three states, the terrain is dangerous, and it is a battleground for military strategists.

General Jingu hoarded hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses here, and wanted to take down Lushan and Lushan Academy.

But just when they were about to hit the academy, the army stagnated.

Afterwards, the imperial court continued to send troops here, and this place has become a battlefield like a meat grinder. There are dozens of places, large and small, and the flames of war stretch for hundreds of miles.

Wu Dun ranked low among the top ten marshals under the command of General Jingu, and was sent to the north, according to the main route to the north.

This Yangchuan stronghold was also built under such circumstances.

"Why so panic?"

Wu Dun put on a majestic air, showing displeasure in front of Liu Chuang.

He really didn't like Liu Chuang, because he was a hunter in the mountains before the incident, and he was quite brave. Later, the government army forcibly collected taxes from their village, and life was difficult, so he was forced to resist, and soon An insurgent army of tens of thousands of people was pulled out, and the officers and soldiers who used to be domineering surrendered.

It was only then that Wu Dun discovered that the officers and soldiers were actually no big deal, they carried their heads on their shoulders.

And Liu Chuang, who was from the government army he hated the most before, is a typical opportunist. When he saw that the imperial court was failing, he fell to their Wanping army in an attempt to steal the fruits of the uprising.

His bloodline and identity are very impure, completely different from their uprising Wanping Army.

That's why Wu Dun didn't like Liu Chuang. In addition, Liu Chuang was easily repelled by the officers and soldiers after he attacked Cangjiang City without authorization, and lost thousands of troops. This made Wu Dun hate him even more.

I think that not only his motivation is bad, but his ability is also bad.

Seeing Wu Dun's livid face, Liu Chuang felt uncomfortable, and secretly cursed the fat man.

Then he squeezed out a little smile and said: "Shuai Wu, great news, the scouts from Cangjiang City came to report, and a large number of officers and soldiers from Cangjiang City have gone out. Now Cangjiang City only has a few thousand soldiers and horses. The army is not strong enough, but it can be defeated in one battle!"

Wu Dun stared, and said coldly: "Is this news true?"

Liu Chuang firmly believed: "There is absolutely no falsehood. I also heard that there is only one general in the strength realm left behind in Cangjiang City, and that is Cao Su who defeated Bai Cai, Gu Bo and others before."

"And there are not enough troops, only 3000 at most."

Cao Su
Wu Dun was not very interested at first, but when he heard the name, he immediately got up.

"Cao Su, it's him!"

Liu Chuang wondered, "Wu Shuai also has a grudge against Cao Su?"

"There is no enmity, there is enmity! He killed my junior brother Hu Rong, and I have not settled the debt with him!" Wu Dun slapped the table suddenly, and the wooden table was instantly torn apart under his tremendous force.

A warrior must learn to control his temper, otherwise most of the furniture in this world will not be able to withstand the destruction of a warrior.

When Liu Chuang heard what Wu Dun said, he felt relieved, and it seemed that it was appropriate to persuade Wu Dun to send troops.

Liu Chuang suggested: "Wu Shuai, it's not too late. I might as well rise up earlier, take down Cangjiang City, and cut off the dog's head of Cao thief to sacrifice the flag, so as to comfort Hu Shuai's spirit in heaven."

Wu Dun frowned and fell into hesitation.

Wu Dunqi said: "Cao Su was not a fool to kill my junior brother. Why did he stay to defend the city? Just relying on the thousands of troops in his hands?"

Liu Chuang hastily explained: "Shuai Wu, Yangchuan is steep, the other party must have gone to fight Xiting and enter the border of Lushan Mountain, leaving Cao Su behind. Maybe Cao Su offended Fan Long, and Fan Long deliberately left him to die."

"No matter why they want to keep Cao Su, the only plan for now is to move forward. As long as Cangjiang City is taken, we will chase after the officers and soldiers. Even if they take Xiting, they will be chased and intercepted by us."

Liu Chuang had studied the Art of War, and he was much better than Wu Dun in this regard.

Wu Dun was a hunter before, and his martial arts are high. He just started to learn the art of war recently. How can Liu Chuang have experience?

But Liu Chuang's earnest persuasion made Wu Dun even more hesitant.

Wu Dun didn't want to take the risk of attacking with all his strength, otherwise Yangchuan would be empty.

He turned to Liu Chuang and said, "If there are only Cao Su and thousands of troops, I will send you [-] elite soldiers, plus [-] elite soldiers from your own headquarters, for a total of [-] elite soldiers. Get him down?"

"According to your expectations, the opponent has at most 3000 people, eight thousand against three thousand, you should be able to win, right?"

Liu Chuang was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect such a result.

He originally wanted Wu Dun to rush together.

He sighed slightly in his heart, Wan Pingjun... hey.
He had no choice but to cup his fists and said: "So, I am willing to try and behead Cao Su."
