Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 406
The Wuling Army captured Yiling City, and the Canglang Army also withdrew to the city.Cai Mao's 7 troops stayed in Yidao County all the time.He guessed that Dongfang Qiang's target was Yiling.However, he couldn't save it.

"General, the scouts are here to report that Yiling City has fallen!"

"it is as expected."

Cai Mao didn't expect Dongfang Qiang to move so fast.Now, sending troops has no effect, so they can only continue to be stationed in Yidao County to see what Dongfangqiang will do next.

Without supporting Yiling, Cai Mao had his own ideas. Zhang Yun went to pursue the Wuling army with 3 people, but none of them came back.This made him dare not act rashly.

Jingzhou is extremely short of strong generals, so it can only rely on superior forces to entangle the enemy.Right now, his strength is the same as that of Dongfang Qiang, so Cai Mao doesn't have the guts to fight head-on.

One's own position must be consolidated by the number of troops, and one cannot lose too much.However, the Wuling army acted so recklessly, if Cai Mao didn't make any moves, it would be difficult for Liu Biao to explain.

Therefore, Cai Mao, who couldn't beat Dongfang Qiang, came up with the idea of ​​going back to Wuling County.Surrounding Wei and saving Zhao, attacking and saving Zhao is also a move.

Now Linyuan has only [-] defenders, and Cai Mao's [-] troops are pressing down on the border. The chances of winning are very high.If Dongfang forcefully withdraws its troops and returns to aid, the crisis in Yidu County will be resolved.

No matter what Cai Hao thinks, Dongfang Qiang has already summed up the course of the battle, and clearly wrote down the credits of all the generals.If Yidu County is successfully won, Wu Shun will reward him for his merits.

"General Dongfang, will we attack Xiling or Yishan next?"

After tasting the thrill of siege and plundering land, Gan Ning could not wait to send troops immediately and continue to sweep the enemy.

"Xingba, Yiling has just fallen, and some security measures still need to be taken. The soldiers should be allowed to publicize the policies of our Wuling Army to the local people."

After defeating Yiling, Dongfang Qiang was not prepared to give up directly like Yidao County.So he is not in a hurry to use troops.It is easy to take down a city, but it is more difficult to govern it.Dongfangqiang is laying a good mass foundation for his colleagues who will take over Yidu County in the future.

"General, your soldiers are very fast. The general thinks that our army should attack Jushan County or Xiling with lightning speed, and open up the connection with Yizhou."

Gan Ning did not give up, and was still expressing his views.

Seeing Gan Ning's perseverance, Dongfang Qiang said:
"Xingba, what matters is the speed of your soldiers. Yiling City is located in the center of Yidu County, which has strategic significance. Even if you send troops, you must leave enough defenders."

"What is the meaning of strategy?"

Gan Ning did not understand this term.

"Go back to Chengdu and ask the lord!"

Dongfang Qiang didn't explain to Gan Ning, and continued:

"Before the war, my lord borrowed [-] troops from Ma Teng, led by Ma Dai and General Pei of the Azure Dragon Cavalry, and fought from Padang to Zigui. Now, we should be fighting Xiling. Therefore, we only need to send some soldiers to reinforce That's it."

"All the officers and men of the Navy are willing to go for reinforcements. General Dongfang, please entrust this task to the last general."

Gan Ning asked directly.

"The sailors are not fast enough, so we should stay and defend the city. The Suzaku Army and Qilin Army will go to reinforce them."

"General, my Canglang Army is faster than the Suzaku Army, why do we still have to defend the city?"

Hearing Dongfang Qiang's arrangement, Shi Zhongyu raised objections.Participating in the siege is called blood boiling, and defending the city is nothing.

Gan Ning and Shi Zhongyu were arguing with Dongfang Qiang, only Zhao Yun was present, Guan Hai didn't speak.One of them can go for reinforcements, and the other is good at defense. When they need to defend the city, they send troops to attack the city, and there is nothing like the Xuanwu Army.

"Two generals, Mo Xiao is about guarding the city. Cai Mao still has [-] troops behind him. The city wall of Yiling is damaged in many places. It is very difficult to defend the city if it is too late to repair it. Can you save Yiling, which the soldiers bought with their lives? For the city, it depends on the generals."

"Don't worry, General Dongfang, as long as we're here, Cai Mao won't get his hands on Yiling."

"Yes, that's right!"

A fierce person like Gan Ning likes difficult things.Dongfang Qiang said that defending the city was difficult, and his eyes lit up.

In this way, the Wuling army was divided into two in Yiling City.Dongfang Qiang led the Suzaku Legion and the Qilin Legion to Xiling to reinforce Xiliang cavalry.Gan Ning, Shi Zhongyu, and Guan Hai were left behind to lead the water army, the Canglang Army, and the Xuanwu Army to guard Yiling.The three generals are headed by Guan Hai, the deputy general of the Xuanwu Army.The reason is that Dongfang Qiang is worried about Gan Ning and Shi Zhongyu, two restless guys.

Why didn't he arrange to attack Yushan? Dongfang Qiang has his own arrangements.Just hold Yiling and take Xiling.Bishan was surrounded by the Wuling army.

Outside Xiling City, Ma Dai and Pei Yuanshao led troops to fight, but no one in the city dared to go out to fight.The three headless corpses in front of Pei Yuanshao's horse showed the horror of this cavalry.

General Dou, Xiling City is deserted.Thanks to the fact that the Xiliang army is all cavalry, they have no ability to attack the city, and the horses can't fly up the city wall.

But dismounting and using it as a pawn is too extravagant, and no one dares to do so.

Ma Dai and Pei Yuanshao have been in Xiling for two days, and the defenders have been staying behind closed doors. They have nothing to do.

"General Pei, didn't you say that there are reinforcements, why don't you come?"

Although he has all the advantages, but he can't win the city, Ma Dai is very depressed.Especially when Pei Yuanshao told him that reinforcements would come.

"General Ma, don't worry. I have sent a message to General Dongfang. I believe reinforcements will arrive soon."

The cavalry couldn't break through the fortified city at all, and Pei Yuanshao was also very anxious.

Chengdu, the mansion of the general who conquered the west.

Zhang Ren and Yan Yan came hand in hand and asked to fight.

They are all the deputy generals of the Qilin Army, and they are mainly responsible for the training of the soldiers in the early stage.When Zhao Yun led the army to go out, they did not follow in Chengdu.

"The Qilin Legion is now fighting in Yidu County, and belongs to the Eastern Emphatic Faction. Since the two generals want to fight, they should rush to Yidu County. By the way, according to the latest information, they are attacking Xiling."

Seeing that the two looked determined, Wu told them some wartime situations by the way.

"Thank you, my lord! The last general will set off now!"

With Wu Shun's approval, the two left the general's mansion and rushed to the battlefield with their entourage.

The generals of the original Yizhou faction did not have enough sense of belonging to the Wuling Army.Although Wu Shun didn't say anything, both Zhang Ren and Yan Yan knew the long-term consequences.

If the local Yizhou generals are excluded from the power circle of the Wuling Army because they have no sense of belonging, it is not good news for them.

Although Wu Shun did not show an inclination to suppress Yizhou generals, as generals in the army, Zhang Ren and Yan Yan had their own opinions.

The generals of the Yizhou line cannot remain arrogant, and must take the initiative to integrate into the Wuling army system.

Wu Shun's temper is known throughout Yizhou, and splitting factions is not allowed.This is true whether it is a civil servant or a general.In Wu Shun's words, that is, we are all brothers and love each other as a family.

Hearing that Wu Shun agreed with them to play, Yan Yan and Zhang Ren looked at each other and saw the relief in each other's hearts.The Lord has no prejudice against them!

It is not easy to be the protagonist. You must be able to subdue civil servants and restrain generals.Distinguishing rewards and punishments is the most basic condition, and distinguishing right from wrong is a necessary quality.The most important thing is to have your own ideas and persistence.

It is not surprising that Zhang Ren and Yan Yan asked to play.They were originally members of the Qilin Legion.Now that the Qilin Legion is fighting outside, it is a wise choice for the two of them to ask to play.If Wu Shun is asked to call names, it will be ugly.

In Xiling City, the number of defenders is small, about 8000 at full count.The [-] Xiliang army could not be defeated because firstly, they did not give up the name of the cavalry, and secondly, they did not have large siege equipment.

But after Dongfang Qiang arrived, all of this was not a problem.
