Shamoko is not a wise general, but being able to become a barbarian king is naturally not a simple-minded person.

I heard that I could fight back to Wuling from Jiangling and save my money, which was more important than getting promoted and making money. Shamoko immediately agreed and issued an order immediately.

The generals under Shamoko's commanders Gong Li, Tian Shi, Fang Shan and others were all former subordinates of Ma Su. They always obeyed Ma Su's orders, so naturally they would not question them and took the orders to reorganize the army.

Because he had already prepared to fight, the five thousand troops quickly completed the assembly.

The five commanders were Gong Li, Tian Shi, Fang Shan, He Yun and Jiang Yan, all of whom were Shamoke's confidants.

This time when Shamoke went on an expedition, he dispatched a total of 10,000 soldiers, of which 5,000 soldiers were elite soldiers of the Xiongxi tribe, while the other 5,000 soldiers were soldiers drawn from other tribes.

In order to firmly control military power, Shamoko took advantage of the privileges of the Barbarian King and did not retain the commanding generals of the major tribes, but instead reorganized the soldiers into his own army in a unit of hundreds of people.

When Liu Bei attacked Yiling, he suffered a considerable loss.

Liu Bei naturally would not let Shamoke preserve his strength. He asked Shamoke to allocate 5,000 troops to attack Yiling City for Zhang Nan and Feng Xi.

The victory of the siege was made by human lives. Shamoko knew that the troops he sent were cannon fodder, but he had not long since joined Liu Bei, so he dared not disobey the imperial edict. After he hesitating for a moment, he agreed.

As the barbarian king, Shamoke also has his own little plan, so he naturally wants to keep his tribe stronger and does not mind taking the opportunity to weaken the forces of other tribes.

When sending troops, he ordered his generals to act according to the plan, and finally transferred them to Zhang Nan and Feng Xi's five thousand people, only a few hundred of them were grassroots officers sent by Shamoko, and more than 4,000 other soldiers, all from other tribes.

Zhang Nan and Feng Xi led their troops to attack the city for several months, and the losses of both sides were extremely large.

Sun Heng is not a greedy person who is afraid of death. His resistance is very fierce. Although his elite troops are seriously damaged, Zhang Nan and Feng Xi suffered greater losses, and the proportion of deaths in battle is as high as 5 to 1.

After three months, the troops sent by Shamoko had almost been wiped out, and less than a thousand backbone and wounded soldiers were left back to Shamoko's camp.

After two months of cultivation, all of them have recovered. Shamoko's soldiers are almost 6,000 capable of fighting.

Shamoko is now thinking about how to save his money, and he is not resistant to retreating without fighting.

The remaining more than 5,000 soldiers and horses were 80,000 elite troops from Xiongxi tribe, and they were able to command easily. In addition, Ma Su ordered only dry food and discarded all the food and grass military funds, and the army quickly left the camp.

To attract Zhou Tai's attention, Ma Su did not let the army hide his movements, and even deliberately created some noisy sounds. He was soon discovered by the spies of the Jiangdong Army and reported to Zhou Tai.

Zhou Tai was a veteran of the Jiangdong Army. His qualifications and positions in the army are second only to Han Dang, and he is highly valued by Sun Quan.

In order to resist Liu Bei's revenge battle, Sun Quan was able to say that he had all his trump cards. Not only did he send out elite soldiers and strong generals, but he also changed coach three times.

The first time was Sun Heng, and Zhu Ran was the left and right governors, Sun Heng was the main attacker, and Zhu Ran was the main defense.

The second time was Han Dang, and Zhou Tai was the left and right governors respectively. The two joined forces and fought head-on with Liu Bei. They were defeated by Liu Bei's cavalry. It was not Han Dang, and Zhou Tai's ability was not good.

The third time, Sun Quan directly appointed Lu Xun as the Grand Governor, but did not remove the position of governor of several other people. It was obvious that they all regarded them as Lu Xun's deputy.

Lu Xun was also unscrupulous. In this counterattack, except for Sun Heng trapping Yiling City, the rest of the people were entrusted with important tasks by Lu Xun.

Zhu Ran led 20,000 elite navy troops to go upstream and encircle them in a roundabout way, preparing to cut off Liu Bei's army's retreat.

Han Dang led a 30,000 army to attack the camps north of Liu Bei, and also shouldered the important task of alerting Cao Pi's army.

Zhou Tai led 20,000 elite troops and attacked the camps south of Liu Bei in different directions.

It is inevitable that it is Liu Bei's main attacking force, with good combat effectiveness, especially Shamoke's barbarians, who have a great advantage in mountain combat. Gan Ning, who is powerful in Jiangdong, died at Shamoke's hands.

This time, when Zhou Tai attacked the camp, Shamoke was the target of Lu Xun's key attack, and Zhou Tai wanted to avenge Gan Ning. Moreover, Shamoke's existence also seriously affected the stability and peace of Wuling County. It can be said that Shamoke was the one Zhou Tai must kill.

Zhou Tai is famous for his courage and his martial arts are among the top experts. He is considered to be a master in Jiangdong who can compete with Cao Cao's Xu Chu and Liu Bei's Zhao Yun.

Although he was severely injured several times because of his self-sacrifice to protect Sun Quan, the last time was restored by the miracle doctor Hua Tuo. His martial arts were no longer the same as before, but it was not something that second or third-rate martial arts like Shamoke and Ma Su could fight against.

This time Zhou Tai attacked Shamoke, Lu Xun had already made arrangements.

It was nothing more than asking Zhou Tai to take action himself to kill Shamoke, which made the Wuling barbarians frightened, laying the groundwork for the complete recovery of the Wuling barbarian tribe in the future.

According to Lu Xun's instructions, Zhou Tai did not rush to attack Shamoke's camp, but instead dispatched troops to block Shamoke's retreat first, and prepared to catch a turtle in a jar.

Obviously, Zhou Tai regarded Shamoke's head as something in his pocket, and just waited for Shamoke to come to him.

When the spy came to report that Shamoke had already led his troops down the mountain, Zhou Tai did not dare to neglect and personally led the troops to block the intersection that had to retreat to Xichuan.

In order to kill one to warn a hundred, to shock the barbarians, and to reduce casualties, Zhou Tai was not prepared to fight in a melee.

Zhou Tai stood in front of the formation with a spear, and wanted to personally invite Shamoko to fight.

Zhou Tai waited patiently, starting from the third update until the fifth update.

Shamoke's camp was less than ten miles away from here, but it had not arrived in two hours, which surprised Zhou Tai.

At this time, it was already dawn, and there was no trace of Shamoko's army. Even the sentry arranged within several miles ahead, no news came.

Zhou Tai couldn't help but immediately sent a scout to investigate the whereabouts of Shamoko's army.

After Shamoko's army went down the mountain, it did not retreat in the northwest direction, but turned to the southeast, which was the main road to Jiangling.

After all, he entered the enemy-occupied area. Ma Su temporarily took over the command and ordered Gong Li to lead one thousand troops from his headquarters to serve as the vanguard, to open the way across mountains and build bridges across water to ensure that the army moves forward without hindrance.

Although Fang Shan was not the first general to follow Ma Su, he showed strong logistical ability when he moved to Guanzhong. Ma Su appointed him to be in charge of food and grass and military funds.

He Yun was the most warlike because he wanted to stop Zhou Tai's pursuers and took the initiative to ask for his orders to lead the troops to cut off the rear.

Ma Su, Shamoke, Ma Liang, Tian Shi, Fang Shan and Jiang Yan led the main force to the center.
