Chapter 375: Wuling County
"Dongfang, this time the lord lets you be fully responsible for the Wuling war. You will have to take care of my Canglang Army more at that time. Our Canglang Army has not earned military achievements for a long time."
On the march, Shi Zhong noon greeted Dongfangqiang in advance. He was very afraid that Dongfangqiang would not let him go to the battlefield.
The Canglang Legion has indeed not been dispatched for a long time, so many people have forgotten their existence. This is also the reason why Wu Shun sent Shi Zhongyu.
"Don't worry, General Shi, the brothers of the Canglang Army are eager to fight. I know all this. As long as Liu Biao dares to come, the Canglang Army will definitely have a chance to make meritorious service."
The rebuilt Suzaku Legion is far less powerful than other legions. In the Wuling battlefield, the role of Suzaku Legion is just to assist and support. The real main force is the Xuanwu Legion stationed in Wuling, the Wuling Navy Army and the Canglang Legion that is heading for support.
"I feel relieved if I have the words of the general. But I am really worried that Liu Biao will not dare to send troops, hahahaha..."
Shi Zhongyu's heroic laughter came from afar, and the soldiers who heard it were relaxed. The generals were not under much pressure, which shows that the upcoming battle would not be very difficult.
"Liu Biao has suffered several defeats in Wuling County, but he is still unwilling to give up. I admire him!"
Unlike Shi Zhongyu's view, Dongfang Qiang believes that Liu Biao will send troops. Of course, this is also out of trust in the intelligence capabilities of the Black Guard.
"Yes, I admire it very much."
Shi Zhongyu continued:
"General Dongfang, let's take the lead and wait for you in Linyuan City."
"Okay, Canglang military needs to cross mountains and ridges, General Shi is careful."
After leaving Chengdu, Shi Zhongyu would not march with Dongfangqiang. The Zhuque Legion has a lot of Zibo and needs to walk the road. The Canglang Legion traveled lightly and rushed to Linyuan City as fast as possible to prevent any changes.
In Xiangyang, Kuai Yue has returned and is reporting the situation to Liu Biao. This time, the trip to Xuzhou was in danger, and Lu Bu agreed to form an alliance. However, the prerequisite for Lu Bu to send troops was that the Jingzhou army would take down Wuling County on its own, and then they would attack Yizhou with Liu Biao.
"I didn't expect that there was such a capable person around Lu Bu to help."
After hearing the process of Kuai Yue's negotiation and alliance, Liu Biao couldn't help but sigh:
"It seems that Wuling County has to be brought back by itself. How has the army gathered?"
Liu Biao asked Cai Mao that Wuling County had always been a heart-wrenching problem for Liu Biao, and he really hoped that Cai Mao and Wang Yun could help him take it back.
"Lord, the army has been assembled. The total number of water and land troops is 300,000!"
Cai Mao gathered so many troops just to fight. He did not give Wu Shun any chance to struggle.
"Okay, I'll choose a day to send troops to retake Wuling County!"
"yes!"
The chief minister of Jingzhou, united as one!
Wu Shun had notified Wen Pin and Gan Ning through the Black Guard of Liu Biao. However, before Liu Biao's army arrived, they could only make sufficient preparations in secret and could not prepare for war openly.
At night, Gan Ning set out from the water village and headed straight for Linyuan City.
"Xingba, you are finally here, sit down!"
Wen Pin has been waiting in the prefect's mansion for a long time. After so many days, the arrangements he should have been made. Now we have to discuss, only how to defend Linyuan City.
Twenty thousand to 200,000 is almost a must-have loss. But whether it is Wen Pin or Gan Ning, there is no worry on his face, but only excitement.
That's right, they were responsible for garrisoning Wuling County, and they had no chance to participate in many major wars. Only when Liu Biao was crazy did they have the opportunity to make contributions.
"Cai Mao sent out a total of 100,000 navy troops. Does Xingba have a way to deal with it?"
Linyuan has the advantage of the city wall, and the Xuanwu Legion is good at defending. As long as the defense is properly done, it is not easy for the Jingzhou Army to break the city.
Wen Pin is worried about the water camp in Ganning. A mere 20,000 naval army would have to resist the 100,000 Jingzhou naval army, and it would almost be a mantis arm to block the chariot.
"General Wen doesn't have to worry. As long as Cai Mao dares to come, our navy soldiers will definitely show him good-looking. But this time, Liu Biao sent out a 300,000 army, can our reinforcements arrive in time?"
Gan Ning knew that Wu Shun would send reinforcements, but from Chengdu to Linyuan, the road was difficult to move, and the reinforcements would definitely be very slow. If they didn't have time to arrive, Wuling County would still be in danger.
"Don't worry, Xingba, the lord has already informed you and me of the news, so why didn't he make arrangements in advance? I guess reinforcements are already on the way."
Wen Pin knew that Wu Shun liked to make a fortune in silence. Since they were asked to prepare for the war secretly, this was obviously the one who was fighting.
Seeing that Wenpin was so sure, Gan Ning was not worried. His lord had never done much before.
Just as Gan Ning was about to go back, a burst of rapid footsteps came.
"General Wen! General Gan! General Canglang is here."
A soldier from Xuanwu Legion came to report, with unstoppable joy in his eyes.
"Hahaha, General Wen, General Gan, long time no see, how can I have a good wine?"
What followed was a hearty laughter, and Shi Zhongyu and Shamoko came together.
"The two generals came from afar, and there are some good wine!"
Seeing that Canglang Army had arrived so soon, Wen Pin and Gan Ning both had joy in their eyes, and reinforcements had arrived.
It was already late at night, but the servants of Linyuan Prefect's Mansion were busy. Because of Shi Zhongyu and Shamoke clamoring to drink, Wenpin had no choice.
After drinking for three rounds, Wen Pin asked Shi Zhongyu: "General Shi, how many reinforcements have the lord sent?"
It is true that the elite of the Canglang Army is, but if the support of the Canglang Army is far from enough to determine the direction of a war. Moreover, the positions of the three of them are almost the same, who will follow the command at that time?
When marching and fighting, the most taboo is to be unclear!
"As for reinforcements, the lord didn't send many reinforcements. In addition to our Canglang Army, there is also the Suzaku Legion of the Oriental General. However, they have a lot of Zibo and are walking slowly, and they are behind."
After hearing Shi Zhongyu's answer, Wen Pin's heart was finally at peace.
"Wuling County will be worried with the support of the Eastern General."
Wen Pin sighed.
Dongfang Qiang is an undefeated general in the Wuling Army. Recently, he has created a glorious record of the next battle in Xiliang.
It can be said that no one in Yizhou can beat Dongfang with the strongest one except Zhang Xiong.
"Haha, General Wen is right. With General Dongfang here, what can Liu Biao have to do if he has another 300,000 troops?"
Gan Ning drank a little too much, and now he has entered the "state".
With Dongfangqiang's prestige in the army, he was enough to command all the soldiers in Wuling. So when he knew Dongfangqiang would come, Wenpin and Gan Ning all smiled heartily.
They will take the initiative to let them do their own things. For example, there is no pressure on Wenpin to defend the city, and there is no problem with the battle between Gan Ning. But if you want to lead the overall situation, they are really a bit short of time.
Judging from the fact that Wu Shun has deployed four legions, a total of 80,000 elite troops, Wuling County cannot be misunderstood. As a commander, as long as some details are not taken into account, it may lead to the failure of the war.
"This time, General Dongfang brought a lot of catapults and the weapon finally developed by the Weapons. This time, whoever comes will die!"
Because of his happiness, Shi Zhongyu drank a lot. He was all his own people, so he revealed some news.
"Oh? A big killer?"
Gan Ning was stunned for a moment. Then he smiled and said, "What a killing weapon, so mysterious?"
"The two of you will naturally understand by then, and I didn't see clearly at that time."
Shi Zhongyu said awkwardly, he really didn't see clearly. He just knew that Dongfang Qiang had indeed brought a lot of weapons that he had never seen before.
