Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 598 Chapter 680 Five: Battle of Zangke County
Xu Du is a strong city, which is difficult to break through in a short time.Instead of fighting Cao Cao for consumption, it is better to temporarily retreat to the front line of Zhongmou and Changshe, keep a distance from Cao Jun, and flatten the Nanman first!
After Wu Shun decided to retreat, Xu Shu and Fazheng breathed a sigh of relief.The internal instability of Yizhou made it difficult for the Wuling army to fight abroad with peace of mind.

Fortunately, they are in the active position at the moment, they can retreat now, and they can fight back later.

"The Qinglong Legion, Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and Canglang Legion have returned to Yizhou. It is only a matter of time before we wipe out the Nanman. Now we are here, and we only need to deal with Cao Cao."

Wu Shun said this to give confidence to the generals, and also to give himself a reassurance.

Wei Yan and the others haven't returned to Yizhou yet, and no one knows the strength of Nanman.

"Meng Huo's son doesn't know what's good and what's wrong. Fortunately, the elder brother is still worthy of his elder brother."

Zhang Xiong was very angry. He had been to Nanman, and he felt that Meng Huo was a good person.How did he know that the person he thought was good today actually spoiled his elder brother's good deeds.

"Everything is driven by interests! If Cao Cao gives him more, he will be with Cao Cao."

Wu Shun said indifferently.

Among the princes, only interests are concerned, and he sees this very clearly.

"Brother, let me take the White Tiger Camp back."

Zhang Xiong asked.

"The White Tiger Battalion is of great use here, it can deter Cao's army, don't move lightly!"

Wu Shun disagreed with Zhang Xiong's request.Not only the White Tiger Battalion could not move, but the rest of the legions could not move lightly.

Cao Cao will not wait for you to transfer the soldiers back before attacking.

As long as Cao Cao knows that the strength of the Wuling army is not enough to guard the two places of Zhongmou Changshe, Cao's army will definitely dispatch to take back the lost land.

Wu Shun didn't want the previous efforts to be wasted, so he only sent the cavalry back to Yizhou.The remaining White Tiger Legion, Xuanwu Legion, and Suzaku Legion are all experts in defending the city.

Moreover, there are a total of [-] cavalry from the personal guard battalion and Qilin cavalry, so they can harass Cao Cao in due course.Let Cao Cao not be so comfortable.

……

Chibi, a fleet is going up the river.

Zhuge Liang and Gan Ning, who were going to Jiangxia to support Sun Ce, returned to the army.

The news of the Nanman's invasion of Yizhou reached Zhuge Liang first, and then the Jiaolong fleet returned, preparing to meet Wuling County and gather soldiers to wipe out the barbarians.

"My lord has sent [-] cavalry back to Yizhou, and the Canglang Army is also on the way. This time, we must break into Nanman and level him!"

On the battleship Zero One, Gan Ning had a murderous look on his face.

"It's natural, internal instability, how to fight externally! We must wipe out the southern barbarians quickly, so as not to affect the war in the north of the lord."

Zhuge Liang said.

He has received Wu Shun's order, asking him to take full command of the suppression of Meng Huo.What Wu Shun thought was that in history, Nanman was also owned by Zhuge Liang, so he might as well let Zhuge Liang go this time.

"Full speed ahead, we want to go back to Wuling County and fight Nanman!"

Disgusted by the slow speed of the battleship, Gan Ning ordered to speed up...

In November of the 11th year of Jian'an, Wei Yan and Ma Chao returned to Chengdu and quickly arranged Chengdu's defense.Because there is no city wall in Chengdu, the Wuling Army will not let the enemy attack here.

After leaving Pei Yuanshao to lead [-] cavalry to guard Chengdu, Wei Yan and Ma Chao led [-] cavalry to attack Zangke County.

In the same month, Zhuge Liang and the Jiaolong Fleet returned to Wuling County, where they recruited soldiers to attack the Nanman.

Since Wu Shun opened up two battlefields, the strength of Wuling Army was relatively scattered, and the defensive forces in the south of Yizhou were relatively weak.

Meng Huo suddenly became violent and directly entered Zangke County.The barbarians were used to being in the bitter cold of the southern barbarians, and this time they entered the city, they didn't intend to go back.

After Meng Huo entered Zangke County, his fear of Wu Shun decreased a lot.Because it was too easy for him to capture a county in Yizhou.

After gaining a sense of accomplishment, Meng Huo relaxed the management of the barbarians, causing some barbarians to do whatever they wanted in Zangke County, and almost did all the unreasonable things.

Now the people here are looking forward to the return of the Wuling army day and night.Save them from suffering!

People in Zangke County didn't have to wait long, and Wu Shun made arrangements as soon as he got the news.

The Wuling army moved extremely quickly, and soon Wei Yan and the others entered the territory of Zangke County.

"Wen Chang, we are all cavalry, it will be difficult if the barbarians hide in the city and cannot come out."

Ma Chao said.

The cavalry has strong impact and sufficient lethality.But siege is weak.Building soil to attack a city requires a large number of people to operate.

There is no Suzaku Legion here, no one to cover.

"Meng Qi, do you have an idea?"

Wei Yan asked.

This time Wu Shun sent the two of them back first, just to give Meng Huo a big blow.

If there is no pain at once, the barbarians will be even more unscrupulous.

When entering Zangke County, the Wuling army and Meng Huo's barbarians had encountered several times.Some barbarians went out to burn, kill and loot, and when they were encountered by cavalry, they were naturally strangled.

Perhaps due to the negligence of the soldiers, very few barbarians escaped during the strangulation.Let Meng Huo know the news that the cavalry of the Wuling Army returned to aid.

Now, in order to concentrate his forces against the Wuling army's surrender, Meng Huo has gathered the barbarians as much as possible and concentrated them in Qielan County, the seat of Zangke County.

If they want to enter the city, Wei Yan and Ma Chao must get along with each other in a way that can break the city.

"To be honest, it's okay for me to command the cavalry to fight, but it's hard for me to think about such things with my head."

Ma Chao really couldn't think of any solution, he could only blackmail himself in front of Wei Yan.

"It's really not possible, let's stick to this place and wait for Zhuge's army division to come over."

Wei Yan said helplessly.

Usually his brain is very easy to use, but for some reason, he is not working well here.

Anyway, Zhuge Liang also came all the way from Wuling County to suppress them, and it will be a few days later.Maybe Shi Zhongyu will also arrive at that time.

The cavalry of the Wuling Army couldn't break through the city, but they patrolled and raided there all day long.The barbarians were so frightened that they only dared to hide in the city.

In mid-November of the 11th year of Jian'an.

Zhuge Liang led the army to join forces with Wei Yan and Ma Chao.At the same time, Shi Zhongyu arrived late with the Canglang Army.

Running back from the north to the south, all the soldiers of the Canglang Army ran like dead dogs.

"The lord ordered us to repel Meng Huo as soon as possible and put down the Nanman. What do you generals think?"

After the meeting, Zhuge Liang presided over the discussion.

"Military division, you can order directly. We will listen to you."

Shi Zhongyu is also a bachelor, thinking about this kind of thing, there is such a high IQ as Zhuge Liang, so there is nothing wrong with him.

"Military division, you should arrange it."

Ma Chao felt that what Shi Zhongyu said was correct.With military divisions around, do they still have to think about how to fight?

"General Wei, can you break the enemy's law?"

Zhuge Liang asked.

Wei Yan has always been a more thoughtful general in the Wuling Army.Zhuge Liang also wanted to hear his opinion.

"Master, don't make things difficult for me."

Wei Yan looked helpless.

His idea of ​​leaving had already entered the city.Will Meng Huo be so happy in Guqilan County?

"Generals, our Wuling army is too strong, and the barbarians dare not leave the city. In this way, we can lure the snake out of the hole..."

Zhuge Liang carefully said what he thought to the generals present.

"The strategist's plan is feasible!"

"With a military advisor around, defeating Meng Huo is as easy as pie!"

"The strategist has a good strategy!"

The generals were flattering, and Zhuge Liang didn't care.

His strategy is very simple, nothing more than attacking the city with county soldiers and then feigning defeat.Lead the barbarians out of the city, and then crush them with cavalry.
