Chapter 169: Recruitment fails, Wuling Army wants to attack Baishui
Seeing Wu Yi's look of dying generously, Wu Shun couldn't help laughing:
"General Wu Yi is a famous general in Shu, why is he so tragic? Do you think Wu Shun is the cruel and bloodthirsty person who does everything he wants?"
"The general in the Western Expedition is serious, but Wu Yi ruined the 5,000 elite troops from Shu and failed to reinforce Yangping Pass in time. He was just sad and angry."
Wu Yi told the truth. He was a general after all, and he was a well-known figure in Xichuan. Wu Shun would not kill him easily. However, he could not confirm it. According to rumors, Wu Shun did things entirely based on his heart and rarely took into account the consequences.
Five thousand elite soldiers rushed to Yangping Pass with a "fast horse" but didn't want to be ambushed directly. He didn't give him any chance to resist. Wu Yi felt that this battle was atrocity. He felt extremely uncomfortable.
Seeing the soldiers of the Wuling Army smiling and fighting spirit, Wu Yi felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly.
Yangping Pass finally fell. There were five thousand elite soldiers stationed in such a dangerous pass. Wu Yi didn't understand why it fell so quickly. How long has it been since he got the news to come to support?
"Is General Wu Yi wondering, Yangping Pass is so dangerous, how did the Wuling Army conquer it within a period of time?"
Wu Shun was a man of two lives, and he had great skills in observing words and expressions. He could tell what Wu Yi was thinking after a little attention.
"Yes, can my elite in Shu be so vulnerable?"
If his army was too weak, it would be difficult for Wu Yi to accept it. The soldiers in Shu always fought bravely and did not fear death!
"The soldiers in Shu are very brave and fierce in fighting! This battle is the biggest loss since the Wuling Army was formed! General Yang Huai is a rare general. Alas, what a pity..."
After getting Wu Shun's affirmation, Wu Yi felt much better. In his opinion, the loss of Yangping Pass is not a crime of war! It should be that the Wuling Army used some strategy. Just like the battle in Nanzheng, the Wuling Army successfully instigated Yang Song and went down one battle!
The Wuling Army attacked Yangping Pass without any tricks. Yang Huai was a man who was determined to look up to Liu Zhang, and the Black Guard could not instigate him. He tried assassination, but unfortunately he had no chance in the pass. Instead, he lost many Black Guards.
The reason why they can defeat Yangping Pass is due to the Wuling Army soldiers' lives and their spirit of not fearing sacrifice! For the Wuling Army soldiers, they have already helped the lord successfully take Hanzhong. Now, they want to help the lord and take Xichuan!
Dongfangqiang's wartime command is also very important. He used three generals to attack three directions respectively, making Yang Huai on the top of the city exhausted. Once there was a breakthrough, Yang Huai could not stop the Wuling Army from rushing to the city wall.
First, the catapult carts were suppressed from the distance, and then the Canglang Legion archers were suppressed near. The number of arrows shot from the city was limited and could not cause an effective blow to the Wuling Army's siege soldiers. There was also the White Tiger Camp shield defense under the city to ensure the safety of the siege soldiers to the greatest extent.
Yang Huai was exhausted from dealing with the three generals of the Wuling Army, which led to the city gate being first broken. A pass and the gate being broken meant loss!
Dongfang Qiang actually wants to thank Wu Shun. If it weren't for Wu Shun, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to command the powerful generals of the world such as Zhang Xiong, Wei Yan, and Shamoke. He wouldn't have the opportunity to command the White Tiger Camp, the White Tiger Legion, the Vermilion Bird Legion, and the Canglang Legion jointly attacked the city.
Dongfang Qiang is now just the main general of the Vermilion Bird Legion, and at most he can command Wei Yan. Who made Wei Yan once the deputy general of the Vermilion Bird Legion? Zhang Xiong is the main general of the White Tiger Camp and the White Tiger Legion. Strictly speaking, Dongfang Qiang has no right to command him. Shamoke is a barbarian and a deputy general of the Canglang Legion. Generally speaking, he only obeys Wu Shun's orders.
With Wu Shun in charge, Dongfang Qiang has such a luxurious siege lineup. With such a powerful force, the Xichuan defenders are only five thousand people. It is really difficult to block the Wuling Army, which is like a wolf or a tiger!
Wu Yi was defeated this time, so as a general of the defeated army, he naturally would not have any good face. He only hoped that Wu Shun would take him into custody quickly, so that he would be embarrassed here for free.
There were several impulsive soldiers from Xichuan below who had been shot and killed by the Wuling Army. He didn't want to stay here for a moment.
"What will the General of the Western Expedition do to us?"
This is the reason why Wu Yi came to meet Wu Shun. He wanted to know how the Wuling Army treated the surrendered soldiers. This was related to five thousand lives, not a small matter! He was very worried that Wu Shun would order shooting. Now they are lambs to be slaughtered and can no longer cause any storm.
"Hahaha... Don't worry, it won't be like this. If you are willing to join the Wuling Army, we will reorganize it! If you are unwilling, escort Hanzhong! Is General Wu Yi interested in joining Wuling?"
Wu Yi is a general in Shu. He has some influence and ability. He can lead troops to fight, not the kind of man who only knows how to charge and rush into battle!
Wu Shun knew what he was going to do, and he needed many people to help him. However, due to the current trend, Wu Shun, who was destined to be a bandit, was difficult to attract talents.
The aristocrats' attention to their origins has led to the fact that Linyuan City Recruitment Hall has not attracted talents from aristocratic families.
In a word, you bandit, you still want me to help you, are you worthy?
Wu Yi was thinking this way now. Who is Wu Shun? Although the leader of the Black Wind Village in Yunling is now the general of the Western Expedition, it was granted by Cao Cao and it is not highly recognized! How could he be a gentry in Shu?
"Thank you for your kindness, but your loyalty will not serve the second master!"
Wu Yi's answer was powerful and simple. He refused to join the Wuling Army.
"Very good, let's go!"
Although I had expected this result to be, Wu Shun was rejected in person.
Wu Yi has good abilities, but he is not very powerful. If he is really powerful, how could he be tricked into Xu Shu by simply designing it?
Wu Shun thought that every general under his command was above Wu Yi's strength, and his irritability was much better.
If you are not willing to recruit you, one day, you will come here by yourself.
Wu Yi's family was a prominent family in Shu. Once Wu Shun successfully entered Yizhou, they would have to curry favor with him. If they did not resist, they would have to flatter him. The family interests were the first priority in everything! It was because of this disadvantage that various chaos occurred in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
"Lord, General Dongfang asked, will the previous plan continue?"
The messenger brought Dongfang Qiang's inquiry. After Wu Yi led the troops away, Dongfang Qiang kept hanging behind him. If Xichuan reinforcements fled, they would also block their way!
"You go and call them back. The plan has changed and needs to be re-formulated!"
"yes!"
Wu Yi led his troops to support Yangping Pass. As long as Wu Yi did not return, there would be no news of Yangping Pass being breached.
In ancient times, information transmission was not developed and it was entirely artificial! The road to Shu was difficult, and the speed of information transmission was difficult.
Wu Shun felt that he could use this to get Baishui Pass! So he let Dongfang Qiang come back. Yang Huai had five thousand defenders, plus Wu Yi's 5,000 reinforcements, a total of ten thousand. If Dongfang Qiang ran to Baishui Pass at this time, he said that the pass was broken. As long as the guard was not stupid, he would not believe it!
"Lord, Baishui Pass can use a plan!"
"Did Yuan Zhi have already thought of it?"
Hearing Wu Shun's words, Xu Shu showed "you understand" eyes.
When attacking Yangping Pass, Xu Shu advocated a strong attack. Wu Shun wanted to gather an invincible morale for the Wuling Army and insisted on a strong attack! However, this strong attack was very effective, and the morale of the Wuling Army had quietly formed. In the future, the soldiers would not give up easily.
"Brother, military advisor, how should I fight Baishuiguan? Tell me quickly, I'm so anxious!"
The combat madman Zhang Xiong could not stand Wu Shun and Xu Shu's suspense, so he directly urged him. After a previous campaign, Zhang Xiong was not satisfied.
"Yes, lord, otherwise we'd better let General Dongfang command and we attack directly!"
Wei Yan was quite convinced of his old boss. Although Dongfang Qiang could not beat him, he was far from being able to lead troops and command combat.
Seeing that Shamoko was also inclined to speak, Wu Shun quickly said:
"Okay, okay, let's talk about everything when you're undefeated! Don't you still need to plan this, don't worry, you'll fight! Let's go eat something and rest."
