Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 581 Opening up the Second Battlefield

Wu Shun's troops were stationed in Xingyang City, ready to completely take down this new territory.

All the cavalry troops of the Wuling Army were sent out by Wu Shun, and there were still some places around Xingyang that needed to go through the motions.

Staying here will not cause a new battle for the time being, because Cao Cao is newly defeated. As long as Wu Shun does not take the initiative to attack, Cao Jun must choose to stick to it.

But now Wu Shun is not in a hurry to attack Cao Cao.Because rabbits will bite people when they are pushed too hard, Wu Shun didn't want to push too hard.

"I don't want to touch Cao Cao for the time being, so let's play with Liu Biao."

Wu Shun made a decision in his heart.

Gan Ning and Wenpin had already made preparations in Changsha at this time, and were waiting for Wu Shun's order to attack.

Wu Shun didn't keep them waiting, and after Zhuge Liang finished handling the matter at hand, he temporarily entrusted the logistics work to Yang Youcai.

According to Wu Shun's order, he himself went to Changsha to join Gan Ning and the others, preparing to attack Jingzhou!

It stands to reason that Wu Shun should not fight on two fronts, because this would disperse the strength of the Wuling Army, increase the consumption of Yizhou's strategic materials and the pressure on logistics.

However, the battle in the north went smoothly, and Cao Jun chose to stick to it, not daring to think of counterattack.The Wuling army in the north is strong enough to ensure that the northern battlefield is safe.

The opening of the second battlefield at this time was not decided by Wu Shun with a pat on the head.

Yizhou's established strategy is planned in this way, and now there is Sun Ce on the opposite side of Jiangxia, the situation is very good.

If you don't act at this time, you will miss the opportunity.

Waiting too long can easily lose the trust of allies.

In July, Zhuge Liang vowed to attack Liu Biao on the banks of the Xiangjiang River in the Northern Expedition!

The Jiaolong Fleet of the Wuling Army went out of the Xiangjiang River and entered Dongting Lake, and cooperated with the Xuanwu Army of the Wuling Army to capture various important places along the Dongting Lake.

The war in Jingzhou started, and the whole world was shocked!
Many people thought that Wu Shun was crazy. He was in a stalemate with Cao Cao in the north, and he dared to attack Jingzhou with more than [-] people from two legions.

There is also this person who thinks that Wu Shun is so overjoyed that the Wuling army will die if they are warlike!

In short, the opening of the second battlefield of the Wuling Army made some people who hoped for Wushun's defeat see the hope of the Wuling Army's defeat.

In mid-July, Zhuge Liang led the army to connect Kebaqiu and Baling, and the Jingzhou army was defeated like a mountain.Cai Mao was again defeated by Gan Ning and fled to Jiangling in a hurry.

At the end of July, Zhuge Liang sent Gan Ning to lead the Jiaolong fleet to the east to attack Chibi, and to support Sun Ce who was attacking Jiangxia.

As early as when the Wuling army left Dongting Lake, Sun Ce had already launched an offensive.It's just that Jiangxia is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Zhang Yun is defending with heavy troops. Although Jiangdong's army is brave, it is helpless.

The army fought and won victoriously, the news spread to the north, Wu Shun ordered Zhuge Liang to reward the three armies!The morale of the Wuling army is high, and they are advancing all the way!
In the city of Xingyang, apart from discussing how to deal with Cao Cao, the generals also discussed the battle situation in Jingzhou.

To Wu Shun's relief, Gan Ning selected elites from the navy and formed a 2000-strong navy and marine corps.

This team has done a lot of great things in this battle!Zhuge Liang was able to easily conquer Baqiu and Baling, and the Navy and Marine Corps contributed a lot!
"Second General, the name of the Marine Corps has become very famous recently, and I'm afraid it will overshadow the glory of the White Tiger Battalion."

Dongfang Qiang joked.

The new army created by Gan Ning is indeed very strong.Water battles, land battles are very proficient!Those who can really get on board are elite sailors, and those who get off the boat are elite infantry.

It is said that Gan Ning also wants the Marine Corps to learn horse riding, which can be said to have a big brain hole.

Zhang Xiong is not willing to be emphasized by Dongfang.

"East, no one can cover up the glory of the White Tiger Camp."

The White Tiger Battalion has always been the representative branch of the Wuling Army, and it is also the elite unit with the most credit.From the beginning of its establishment until now, it has maintained a staff of 2000 people.

never change!

No need to change either!Xingyang was able to be captured smoothly, and the cavalry's harassment had a certain promoting effect, but more of it was obtained by the White Tiger Army fighting the enemy bravely.

Of course, the long-range strike power of the Suzaku Legion also contributed a lot.

"Second brother, in the next battle, the White Tiger Battalion must play a greater role, because here, apart from the White Tiger Legion, there is no strong siege force."

Wu Shun confessed.

"Don't worry, big brother, with me here, no matter where big brother hits, he can break through!"

Zhang Xiong said domineeringly.

In fact, there are more than [-] infantry of the Qilin Legion who can attack the city.

But when Wu Shun usually uses the Kirin Legion, he always feints!

This is the tradition of the Wuling Army. Once a battle starts, use the strongest combat power to fight with all your strength!

Don't give the enemy the slightest chance!

This is the responsibility to oneself, but also the respect to the enemy!
But usually, the enemies of the Wuling army would rather not have this respect.

They want the Wuling Army to send some ordinary county soldiers to fight, so that they can also get some credit.It's a pity that when the Wuling army went to battle, the county soldiers had only two tasks, logistics transportation and patrolling.

Even guarding the city is guarding those who are relatively safe.Dangerous cities and checkpoints are usually guarded by elite troops.

"My lord, the rest of the army has been completed, and most of the Xingyang area has been calmed down. It's time to attack Zhongmu."

Xu Shu suggested.

The Wuling army hadn't moved for so long, which gave Cao Cao enough time to prepare.If it wasn't for the White Tiger Legion's need to supplement, Xu Shu would never agree with Wu Shun's step-by-step approach.

It is good to completely flatten the Xingyang area, but it also gave Cao Jun time and opportunity.At this time, Zhongmu and Changshe may have turned Cao Cao into an iron barrel.

"Well, it's about time. I don't know if Cao Cao will dare to fight our Wuling army head-on. It is said that those big families donated a lot of private soldiers to him."

Based on Wu Shun's understanding of Cao Cao, Cao Cao would not let go of those family's private soldiers.

"If Cao Cao is smart, he will consume our army with private soldiers."

Fazheng spoke up.

The private soldiers of those families, to put it bluntly, are private armed forces, which are illegal.Moreover, the existence of private soldiers will affect Cao Cao's prestige.

Only when all the private soldiers donated by those families are exhausted, the families who have no self-protection power will hug Cao Cao tightly.

"All legions, prepare. We are going to fight Zhongmu. We can't give Cao Cao too much time."

Wu Shun emphasized.

"As ordered!"

The crowd answered.

The battle in Jingzhou is going well, and the northern army has also rested and replenished.

At the beginning of August, cavalry units returned from all over to gather.After the rest, Wu Shun ordered to drive towards Zhongmou, preparing to fight Cao Cao again.

After taking the oath to sacrifice the flag, 11 White Tiger Legion, [-] Suzaku Legion, [-] Azure Dragon Legion, [-] Xiliang Cavalry, [-] Qilin Legion, a total of [-] horses, divided into two groups and moved to Zhongmou area!
At this time, there were [-] Cao troops stationed in Zhongmu, and the general who guarded the city was Cao Ren, a famous general of Cao troops.Cao Cao himself led [-] troops and stationed himself at Changsha.

Cao Jun wants to use the two cities of Zhongmu and Changshe as horns to resist the Wuling army and guard Xudu!
