Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 408 Xiling City is broken, Cai Mao returns to the army

On the side of the Wuling army, the cavalry rushed up the city wall from the slope, and the Jingzhou defenders retreated steadily.The guard of Xiling City ran into Zhao Yun and was shot to death.

"The general is dead!"

The main general died in battle, and the morale of the defenders was completely demoralized. Under the leadership of Zhao Yun, the cavalry soldiers were brave and fearless, and kept attacking.

Half an hour later, Xiling City was broken!

While cleaning the battlefield, Yan Yan and Zhang Ren, the deputy generals of the Kirin Legion, arrived.They regretted missing a classic battle due to delays on the road.

Now under the slope, Yan Yan and Zhang Ren could imagine the despair in the hearts of the defenders.

"General Zilong is so powerful, he actually thought of a way for cavalry to attack the city."

Yan Yan said.

Originally, Yan Yan was quite dissatisfied with Wu Shun's appointment.He felt that Zhao Yun had just arrived, no matter what, Wu Shun could not arrange for him to lead the army alone.

But today, Yan Yan is completely convinced, Zhao Yun is courageous and resourceful.

"Haha, I have already said that my junior brother can do it."

Zhao Yun's achievements, Zhang Ren, as a senior, naturally made him happy.

"Come on, into the city!"

Now that they have arrived in Xiling, Yan Yan and Zhang Ren must join the troops first.At the same time, report to Zhao Yun Dongfangqiang.

……

"The two generals came from Yizhou and worked hard all the way. Do you have anything to explain, my lord?"

In order to express his welcome to Zhang Renyan, Dongfang Qiang exchanged a few words deliberately.With the arrival of two generals, the battle in Yidu County can end sooner.However, Dongfang Qiang still pays more attention to Wu Shun's arrangements.

"General Dongfang, my lord didn't have any special instructions when I came here. I just asked the two of us to come to the battlefield in Yidu County to wait for dispatch."

Zhang Ren said truthfully:

"However, the last two came one step too late. It's a pity that we didn't see the grand occasion of the cavalry attacking the city."

"Hahaha, speaking of which Xiling City was able to win in one battle, it was thanks to the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and General Ma Dai who took the lead. The might of the Iron Cavalry can intimidate the enemy!"

In the battle of Xiling, Xiliang iron cavalry did make great contributions.Ma Dai has his own method in commanding cavalry operations.

"General Dongfang loves you. If your army hadn't built the slope, my Xiliang cavalry could only look at the city and sigh."

Ma Dai knew very well that compared with the Wuling Army, the Xiliang Army was still a bit weaker.When Dongfang Qiang praised him, he had to maintain a modest and cautious attitude.

Seeing Ma Dai's modesty, Dongfang Qiang didn't praise him anymore.Right now, half of Yidu County is under the control of the Wuling Army. Cai Mao's army is stationed in Yidao County. The strength of the Yishan garrison is extremely weak. Dongfang Qiang is planning to send an army to capture the city.

"Everyone, Xiling City has fallen, and our next target is the Yishan area. According to reports from the scouts, there are only [-] enemy troops guarding the Yishan county. Which general is willing to go and capture Yishan?"

Obviously, Dongfang Qiang wants to divide its forces.Xiling will not be discarded once it is in hand. Some people need to stay here to maintain the law and order here.

In order to contain Cai Mao, Dongfangqiang needs to leave a large number of people and go to Yidao County.Take back the city they gave up.

"General, the last is willing to go!"

Shi Zhongyu came out, ready to take over this task.Presumably with other legions, only the Canglang Legion is the most suitable to go to Mount Yi.

Firstly, the wolf army marched fast, and secondly, their combat effectiveness was not weak. Although they were not very good at siege operations, it was not a big problem for 2 people to take down a small city guarded by 5000 people.

Seeing that Shi Zhongyu took the initiative to accept the task, Dongfang Qiang said:
"General Shi can carry some of the equipment needed to siege the city."

"Thank you General!"

After arranging the matter of Yishan, Dongfang Qiang ordered the Qilin Legion to leave 5000 people to be responsible for the defense of Xiling.The rest of the soldiers headed to the Yidao area after rest and reorganization, and fought against Cai Mao to decide the final ownership of Yidu County.

Unfortunately, what Dongfangqiang didn't know was that when they were collecting sand to build the slope, Cai Mao left 1 people to guard Yidao County, and led the remaining 6 people to go back to fight Linyuan.

At this time, outside Linyuan City.The morale of the Jingzhou army was high, and it was the first time they fought against the Wuling army, and they were extremely excited.

"Wenpin, you Jingzhou traitor. I will make you pay the price today, hehe..."

Under the command of Cai Mao, the Jingzhou army launched an uninterrupted attack on Linyuan City, which made Dongfang Qiang, who was in charge of defending Linyuan, tired of coping.

Of the [-] Xuanwu Army soldiers, [-] have already been lost.At this time, the soldiers were completely relying on a wave of faith in their hearts to persevere.

They are the elite of the Wuling Army, the Xuanwu Army that is best at defense.With their perseverance, no matter how powerful the enemy is, they will never take Lin Yuan down.

Linyuan City was in an emergency, and the news did not reach Dongfang Qiang's ears, but the people of Linyuan City felt the tragic atmosphere.

They believed that if Linyuan City was destroyed, all the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army on the city wall must have died.The people did not want this kind of tragedy to happen, and one by one spontaneously climbed up the city wall to help defend the city.

The military literacy of the people is almost non-existent. After Wenpin repeatedly scolded, the people slowly swallowed the city.

It is very difficult to defend a city with 8000 people.But Wenpin still persisted.The Jingzhou army is not the Wuling army, and they don't have that much firepower to attack the city. Gritting their teeth, the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army can still hold on.

……

On the way of the Dongfang Qiangshui Army advancing towards Yidao County, they got the final news from the scouts.

"Brothers! Go forward at full speed and attack Yidao County with all your strength! Cai Mao is attacking Linyuan!"

Dongfang Qiang's words were astonishing.

"What? Cai Mao went to fight Linyuan? No wonder there was no reinforcement from the enemy when he fought Xiling."

"Cai Mao's plan is very poisonous. Yidao County should be defeated in one battle. Then return to Linyuan City."

The generals blew up, and no one thought that Cai Mao would give up Xiling and return directly to attack Linyuan.At this time, Linyuan had only [-] defenders, and it was very stressful to face the crazy attack of tens of thousands of enemy troops.

"There are still [-] defenders in Yidao County. The Xuanwu Army and the Navy Army are attacking the East City, the Qilin Army is attacking the West City, and the Suzaku Army is attacking from the front. We will strive to win the battle. General Ma Dai, please take the lead and go to Linyuan, Threatening Cai Mao's retreat."

The situation was urgent, and Dongfang Qiang immediately made arrangements.Each army has its own mission.Xiliang iron cavalry has rushed to Linyuan.

"I hope I can catch up!"

Looking at the Xiliang cavalry in the distance, Dongfang Qiang said silently in his heart.

In Yidao County, the Wuling Army visited for the second time.The difference from the previous one is that this time, the Wuling army is preparing to attack the city with all their strength, and wants to complete their achievements in one battle.

The defenders of Yidao County fought against the Wuling army, and when they saw the powerful Eastern army pressing down on the border, they were flustered.

"attack!"

Dongfang Qiang gave an order, and the catapults of the Wuling Army began to show their power.Yidao County, which has not yet completed its restoration, has suffered another round of fire bombs.

"kill!"

The soldiers of the Wuling Army advanced layer by layer, covering each other, and the formation was reasonable and organized.The defenders in the city shot arrows desperately, but unfortunately the damage caused was really unsatisfactory.

Attacking from three sides, the defenders need to deal with it from three sides. The guard of Yidao County is about to be driven crazy by Dongfang Qiang.There are only [-] soldiers. Among the continuous attrition, Xi Chengqiang was the first to be defeated, and Zhao Yun was the first to ascend!

"General Zhao is mighty!"

"General Zhao is mighty!"

It only took a moment for Zhao Yun to climb up the top of the city from the ladder.After standing still on the city wall, the Qilin Legion had already rushed up.

The influence of fierce generals in local battles is very large.Especially fierce generals like Zhao Yun can always create surprises on the battlefield.

The Qilin Legion flooded into Yidao County, and soon Yidao County was breached.All the defenders surrendered.
