Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 404 Pre-War Arrangements
Dongfangqiang set up an ambush, and after successfully ambushing and annihilating Zhang Yun's troops, Cai Mao did not dare to get too close to the Wuling army.He only dared to follow from afar, and only after all the Wuling Army troops marched towards Yiling, did he cautiously enter Yidao County.

In order to lure Zhang Yun, Dongfang Qiang voluntarily gave up the county seat.

After entering the territory of Yiling, the marching speed of the Wuling army suddenly accelerated. The prefect and county lieutenant of Yidu County all died in Yidao County in battle, leaving only a small number of defenders in Yiling.

With the strength of the Wuling army, with all their strength, it only takes one day to break through the city!
"General, Yiling is ahead, do you want to rest for a while?"

Traveling fast all the way, most of the soldiers were exhausted.In order to restore strength, Gan Ning suggested.

"Rest in place!"

Originally, Dongfang Qiang wanted to run a certain distance before taking a rest, but Gan Ning told him that, and the soldiers were really tired, so he agreed to take a rest.

"How many defenders are there in Yiling City?"

Dongfang Qiang asked.

"According to the reports from the scouts, there are still about 2 left. General Dongfang, the final general only needs [-] people to take Yiling City."

The Xuanwu Army has always been known for its strong defense, but Guan Hai doesn't think so.After the battle in which Zhang Yun was ambushed, no one in the Wuling Army would say that the Xuanwu Army could only defend.

This time Guan Hai brought only 1 soldiers. He fought the enemy several times and lost some.But the combat power was not damaged in the slightest.As long as Dongfangqiang allocates another 1 people to him, he will be sure to capture Yiling City.

"Haha, General Ziwei, you are not kind! Your Xuanwu Army has less than 1 people. If 2 people attack the city, our Canglang Army can do it too. General Dongfang, I think the vanguard army will let us Canglang Army take charge."

Yiling City is obviously a soft persimmon, and everyone wants to squeeze it.Shi Zhongyu is no exception.It is said that the Canglang Army is good at mountain warfare, and this time he wants to show off the ability of the Canglang Army to attack the city.

"Stop arguing, two generals. I think Yiling City is the most suitable for our navy officers and soldiers to train. You also know that our navy warships are gone. For a long time to come, they can only be used as infantry. Competing for credit with our navy, how can you bear it?"

In terms of combat effectiveness, Gan Ning's navy was no match for the Xuanwu Army and the Canglang Army.Seeing that both of them were vying for the position of pioneer, Gan Ning also participated in the way of playing the emotional card.

Not to mention, he said so.Both Guan Hai and Shi Zhongyu were embarrassed to continue.

Zhao Yun couldn't help laughing while watching these live treasures.With Dongfang Qiang here, there is no need to fight over who will attack first, and everything can be arranged freely.

"Why is Zilong laughing?"

Shi Zhongyu's eyes were sharp, and he saw Zhao Yun's smile, which seemed helpless.

"Nothing, just think of something interesting."

Zhao Yun couldn't say either, I was happy to see that you were about to work for nothing, so I smiled.

Seeing that the atmosphere was relatively relaxed, Dongfang Qiang wanted to arrange the siege first.

"General Zilong, can the cavalry of the Qilin Legion know how to ride and shoot?"

"You know how to ride and shoot, but you're just not very proficient?"

Zhang Yun answered truthfully.

His Qilin Legion has cavalry and infantry. The cavalry usually has little training. Although riding and shooting is not difficult now, it is not an easy task to practice well.

"It's fine if you know how to do it. If you're not proficient, then it's training."

Knowing that Qilin cavalry can ride and shoot, Dongfang Qiang is relieved.

"Zhao Yun!"

Dongfang Qiang suddenly said seriously.

"The end is here!"

Knowing that Dongfang Qiang was going to issue a general order, Zhao Yun and the others hurriedly stood up straight.

"I ordered you to lead the cavalry to launch an attack on Yiling City first in one hour! You only need to use cavalry and archery to consume it! The infantry of the Qilin Legion will follow the Xuanwu Legion, and this general will temporarily command it."

"The last general takes orders!"

The task of siege fell on him. After Zhao Yun accepted the order, he was naturally overjoyed.

Using cavalry and archery to attack a city can only kill and injure the enemy, but cannot break through the city.However, since Dongfangqiang has made arrangements, Zhao Yun has reason to believe that Dongfangqiang has follow-up arrangements.

"Guan Hai"

Dongfangqiang called Guan Hai's name again.

"The end is here!"

Guan Hai went out to wait for the order.

"I command you to lead the Basalt Army and the Qilin Army to attack the east gate of Yiling City after the catapult arrives!"

"The last general takes orders!"

Although he was not the first to attack, he was assigned the "heavy task" of attacking in one direction.Guan Hai has nothing to complain about.

"Gan Ning!"

"The end is here!"

"Twenty thousand sailors, attack the west city gate, just pay attention to feint attack! If the loss is too large, we will deal with it by military law!"

Originally, Gan Ning was quite happy when he heard about the attack on the West City Gate, but what the hell is a feint attack?If the loss is too large, it will be dealt with by military law!Is it just waving the flag and shouting at the west gate?
"General Dongfang? Our navy can attack the city, but we don't need to pretend to attack."

Gan Ning raised different opinions.

"Xingba, do you know that the navy is the army that the Lord values ​​most. Now Yizhou is researching a new type of warship. I heard that the Lord designed it for the navy. If you use up all the sailors on the battlefield, look My lord will not punish you!"

Yizhou did have a new type of warship, and Wu Shun really valued the navy.He also wants to turn the navy into a navy.Dongfang Qiang moved out of Wu Shun, in order to let Gan Ning stop thinking about fighting and killing, regardless of the casualties of the navy soldiers.

"General Dongfang, is what you said true? What does the new warship look like?"

Gan Ning was overjoyed to learn that his lord personally designed warships for the navy.

"I don't know what it looks like. I only know that if you don't protect the sailors, the lord will punish you by military law."

Dongfang Qiang laughed.

"Haha, isn't it just a feint? What can't our sailors do? Isn't it, brothers?"

"Yes~"

Gan Ning let out a roar, which received enthusiastic responses from the sailors.Yizhou is already designing warships, which is great news for the sailors who lost their warships.

Even if Dongfang insists that they will stand by Linyuan now, they will go back without hesitation.

"General Dongfang, they all have missions, so what about our Canglang Army?"

Shi Zhongyu is in a hurry, Gan Ning, Guan Hai, and Zhao Yun have arrangements, but he has no task yet.The Canglang Army is about to be abandoned.

"General Shi, your mission is the most important! Before I can capture Yiling City, the Canglang Army will stop Cai Mao here. Is there a problem?"

Cai Mao may attack behind him at any time, and he cannot be disturbed when attacking the city, so Dongfang Qiang asked the wolf army with strong mobility to intercept it.

"It's not a problem to stop Cai Mao, but there will be a request at the end."

Shi Zhongyu said.

"General Shi, just say what you want."

It is very difficult for 2 people to stop 7 people. Dongfang Qiang is ready to agree to any request from Shi Zhongyu.

But Shi Zhongyu's request is completely different from Dongfangqiang's conjecture:
"General, you can't use the Zhuge crossbow to attack the city, can you? Can we let our Canglang army use it? With the Zhuge crossbow here, I guarantee that not even a mosquito can fly over it."

"Okay, but you have to pay it back!"

It's not that Dongfang Qiang is stingy, the Zhuge Crossbow is currently only equipped with the Suzaku Legion.The Canglang Legion pays attention to flexibility and speed, so it is not suitable for this kind of heavy equipment.

"Don't worry, general, I, Shi Zhongyu, will not be greedy for my own family's things."

If Dongfang Qiang didn't ask to return it, Shi Zhongyu might not return it.What is the Zhuge giant crossbow? It is a battlefield killer!It is an artifact that can deter the enemy when taking out wine.

All the generals present were salivating at the Zhuge Crossbow.

After an hour's rest, the soldiers recovered their strength.At this time, the catapult just arrived at the rest point.At this time, Zhao Yun had already set off with two thousand Qilin cavalry.

In Yiling City, the battle is imminent!The wind is blowing slightly, a little cold.
