Chapter 35: Hanshou Changes Owners

Chenyang area is all mountainous areas and is not suitable for cavalry troops to fight. However, there are few mountains in Linyuan area, and most of the places are alluvial plains. The cavalry is still very strategically deterrent.

Establishing cavalry not only requires the quality of soldiers, but also requires a large number of war horses. The inferior horses that carry goods cannot be used as war horses. Moreover, in the south, war horses are extremely expensive. Wu Shun must have established the cavalry unit, but not now, the burden of the White Tiger Camp and the barbarian troops has already made Yang Youcai start to complain. The profit of the food restaurant is much, but there are more places to use money. People need a large number of farm tools to open up wasteland, and a large number of craftsmen need to pay wages for the city repair. There are also repairs of official roads, etc. Yang Youcai watched the hard-earned money flow out like a flow of water, and he felt heartbroken as if he had been cut off. Wu Shun was used to being a manager who was shabby and used money to make a big move.

Wu Shun embarked on the journey with the Eight Hundred White Tiger Camp and 2500 barbarians. As for the county soldiers trained by Dongfangqiang, they were left to the current Chenyang County Magistrate Wen Qian, and also left Dongfangqiang to be responsible for commanding the troops. Wen Qian, a scholar, was not very good at military affairs. Therefore, he took the initiative to ask Wu Shun to send a general to take the position of county magistrate.

Dongfang Qiang's face was full of bitterness when he received this task. He didn't care about any county lieutenant. He, the commander of the White Tiger Camp, actually became a county lieutenant, which was indeed a bit insignificant. But Wu Shun hoped that Dongfang Qiang could work hard to make the county lieutenant well. After all, Chenyang can be regarded as their birthplace and also the rear.

Three days later, Wu Shun and his army arrived at Wuling County's capital, Linyuan City. The city gate was closed, with people crowded on the top of the city, and flags were like forests, as if they were facing a great enemy.

Wu Shun sighed that some people are unwilling to lose their power, and they will eventually struggle to dyingly.

Zhang Xiong was impatient. Seeing Lin Yuan's man close the city gate and looking defensive, he felt angry.

"Listen to the people on the city wall, my elder brother is the prefect of Wuling whom the emperor accepts his order. Open the city gate quickly!"

Zhang Xiong roared out, there was no movement on the top of the city, and the city gate was still quiet.

"Where did the thief come from? He actually launched an army to attack our Wuling County capital! Retreat quickly, otherwise you will be asked to wait for no return!"

Of course, the prefect of Wuling Pan Renmei knew who was outside the city, but at this moment he could only pretend to be stupid. He did not want to lose his current power and status, and most of the aristocratic families in Wuling County supported him. Why did he support Pan Renmei? The reason was that Wu Shun was not very friendly to the aristocratic families in Chenyang.

When Zhang Xiong heard Pan Renmei telling lies with his eyes open, he was so angry that he was about to order a siege but was stopped by Wu Shun.

"Second brother, don't be impulsive. We did not bring siege equipment here. If we attack Linyuan, the big city will suffer heavy casualties."

"Brother, what should I do now? I wish I could kill that guy now!" Zhang Xiong said angrily.

"Second brother, don't worry, Linyuan is ours sooner or later! Let's take Hanshou County first and plan slowly!"

Wu Shun explained to Zhang Xiong. If you can't tell a reason, Zhang Xiong's impatient attitude is really hard to persuade. Fortunately, he is here today, otherwise, no one would have stopped Zhang Xiong from siegeing the city.

Zhang Xiong was impatient and did not use his brain when encountering problems. He could do it at all. So even though Zhang Xiong's martial arts skills were the strongest in the camp, Wu Shun did not dare to let him lead the troops alone.

Wu Shun approached the city wall, stood outside the range of the bow and arrow, and said to Pan Renmei on the top of the city: "You are the former prefect, Lord Pan. I have a court appointment document and an imperial edict from the emperor. I will give you three days to consider. If you can't make a decision in three days, don't blame me for being ruthless after the city is broken!"

"I'm so arrogant! A group of bandits want to cover me?" Pan Renmei was still stubborn! He had four thousand county soldiers under him, but he didn't take Wu Shun's three thousand people seriously. He had never heard of the siege battle with fewer people than the defenders.

Wu Shun didn't want to talk too much. He was pretending to be stupid, but he had no choice. This was Pan Renmei's territory. However, Wu Shun was not a fuel-efficient lamp. The governor Linyuan could not be defeated. Can Hanshou be such a tall city wall beside him?

Wu Shun led his troops to retreat, and Pan Renmei smiled on the top of the city. No matter what imperial edict he was, in Wuling, his words were imperial edicts. Now he has soldiers and the support of aristocratic families, so Wu Shun's arrival will not affect anything. Find an opportunity to destroy Wu Shun.

The retreat in shame caused a great blow to the morale of the barbarians, and they were dejected, like a defeated rooster. The morale of the White Tiger Camp did not decrease, but instead increased the momentum of attracting but not being released. The main humiliating minister died. At this moment, the soldiers of the White Tiger Camp felt anger in their hearts and felt that they were about to explode.

"Target, Hanshou County, set out!"

Dongfang Qiang is not there, so Wu Shun can only lead the White Tiger Camp himself. Since he cannot attack Linyuan, he should settle for the second best. He always needs a place to settle down, camping in the wild is prone to being plotted against.

After a day of march, he finally approached Hanshou County. Wu Shun ordered camping, eat and sleep tonight, and siege the city early tomorrow morning. The auxiliary soldiers rushed to make cloud ladders, siege hammers and other equipment for siege at night. At the same time, Wu Shun also asked to make more wooden shields to minimize casualties!

There were only one thousand county soldiers in Hanshou City, and they were not very good at training and their combat effectiveness was not high. And no one would have thought that Wu Shun would attack Hanshou.

The next morning, outside Hanshou City, the sound of killing sounds shook the sky. When the county soldiers rushed into the county government to report, the Hanshou County Magistrate was still sleeping soundly with his concubine in his arms! After learning that the county town was being attacked and in danger, the county magistrate actually thought of running away.

The county magistrate was not there, and the county magistrate was shot to death by Shi Zhongyu. The soldiers of Hanshou County had no unified command and could only fight on their own. Fortunately, the aristocratic families in the city also sent private soldiers to help resist Wu Shun's army, which made Hanshou County defend for a long time. The White Tiger Camp followed Zhang Xiong and Guan Hai to attack the East City Gate again and again. The defense pressure of Hanshou East City was very high. The White Tiger Camp was wearing armor and had super high defense. If the bow and arrow did not hit the place where the armor was intersected, it would basically not hurt the soldiers of the White Tiger Camp. Heavy armor infantry could resist the cavalry charge. You can imagine the defense intensity.

Of course, it is not impossible to attack the White Tiger Camp. The rolling stones and wood that the county soldiers smashed from the city walls can injure the White Tiger Camp. There is no way to use heavy infantry to attack the city. If the first battle only allows barbarian soldiers to attack the city, it will be detrimental to the future unity. Besides, the White Tiger Camp will have better results than the barbarian soldiers and have fewer casualties.

Xiaobai and Tian Qian'er were waiting in the camp. Listening to the sound of killing in front of him, Xiaobai was extremely nervous. He kept begging for blessings from all kinds of immortals and gods. Tian Qian'er grew up in the barbarians and learned a good martial arts since she was a child. Seeing Xiaobai so nervous Wu Shun, she wanted to go to the front line to find out the news.

"Sister, don't run around in the camp. I'll go find out about the bad guy." Tian Qian'er said to Xiaobai, and after that, she was about to go out.

"Sister, it's a war ahead, it's too dangerous. Let's wait for news in the middle of the camp."

Xiaobai was worried about Tian Qian'er's safety and spoke out to dissuade him.

"Sister, I forgot that I am a barbarian. I will protect myself, don't worry." After that, I changed into the armor of soldiers of the White Tiger Camp and ran out.

Tian Qian'er ran all the way to the battlefield and saw the siege tribe being shot down from the ladder, falling to pieces, and her eyes were instantly filled with tears.

Suddenly, Tian Qian'er moved, picked up a sword, and climbed up the ladder. From time to time, his own soldiers would scream and fall off the ladder.

Tian Qian'er was agile and kept hiding the arrows shot from the city, and finally climbed to the top. After jumping down and cutting down the county soldiers in front of her, Tian Qian'er attacked forward for a while, quickly expanding the range of activities, making room for the soldiers who climbed up to the city behind!

Not long after Tian Qian'er led the barbarian soldiers to climb the city wall, the White Tiger Camp also broke through the city gate under the leadership of Zhang Xiong and others. Wu Shun led his troops to launch a general attack.
