Chapter 391: Reinforcement arrives
The Canglang Legion returned to Linyuan City. After counting the number of people, it was found that nearly 5,000 casualties were killed and more than 3,000 were killed directly. It was a big blow to Shi Zhongyu.
"General Shi, victory or defeat is common in military affairs, and there is no need to worry about it. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yun actually gave us so much food and supplies to ambush you, but in the end he failed. He could only ruin his greed. Humph, don't think about it, is it so easy to defeat the elite army of the Wuling Army so easy to defeat?"
Speaking of Zhang Yun's actions, although Dongfang Qiang comforted Shi Zhongyu the strongest and acted irrelevant. However, Shi Zhongyu knew that if the Canglang Legion suffered too much casualties, Linyuan City would be under how pressure would be.
"General of the Eastern General, the last general was careless and sent troops to rob grain without permission, which caused losses to the general. Please punish him according to military law."
After losing the battle, Shi Zhongyu did not make excuses for herself, but directly admitted her mistakes.
"General Shi is so serious. No one expected that Zhang Yun would have such courage and wisdom. This defeat is not a crime of war. To appease the soldiers, Linyuan City needs everyone to work together."
The war is not over yet, so Dongfangqiang will not punish the general. Besides, things are indeed uncontrollable. Such an attractive bait is understandable that Shi Zhongyu falls into the trap without knowing it.
The Canglang Legion directly reduced its personnel by one quarter, and its combat effectiveness was greatly weakened. Shi Zhongyu did not leave the city, and Dongfangqiang asked him to lead his troops to guard the city with the Zhuque Legion.
The Jingzhou army suffered a lot of losses. After Zhang Yun led his troops back to the camp, his anger was still not gone.
"Dongfangqiang, you are a good thing again! It's really hateful!"
Dongfang Qiang personally dispatched to rescue the Canglang Army, which Zhang Yun did not expect. The ambush site was not close to Linyuan City. He originally thought that he could destroy the Canglang Army before the support of the Wuling Army arrived.
The bamboo basket was empty and there was nowhere to tell the helplessness in his heart. Zhang Yun had a bitter face and ignored anyone.
"General Cai Mao, what's wrong with General Zhang?"
Liu Lu looked like a curious baby. In his opinion, although he failed to destroy the Canglang Army, he also killed many people on the other side. After all, the Wuling Army had a small number. After all, there were not many defenders in Linyuan City who killed so many times.
"Let's go, let General Zhang be quiet alone."
Cai Mao could understand Zhang Yun's mood and went straight back to his tent.
"If you don't say it, don't say it, I think I will not know?"
Seeing that Cai Mao was unwilling to say more, and did not want to follow him and make trouble, Liu Lu simply went back to the big tent. He led the troops to fight for most of the day, but he was still very tired.
...
At this moment, no one knew that a group of people rushed towards Linyuan quickly, with about 30,000 people.
In the big tent of Shi Zhongyu, a personal soldier rushed in and said slightly anxiously:
"General Shi, the patriarch is here and is now blocked at the city gate."
"Class leader? Let's go to the city gate to greet him!"
The clan leader mentioned by the personal soldiers was Shi Potian, the clan leader of Wuxi, Wuxi, and Shi Zhongyu's father!
When Shi Zhongyu learned that his father was coming, all the fatigue on his body disappeared.
At the city gate, Dongfang Qiang led the generals to arrive first, Shi Zhongyu. It was really exciting to have reinforcements from Wuxi.
"Stone leader, thank you!"
Dongfang Qiang grabbed Shi Potian's hand, and his excitement was beyond words.
"General Dongfang is serious, and Wuling County is also the home of us from Wuxi. In Linyuan City, we have difficulties. It is natural for us to come and help. I'm not late, right?"
Shi Potian said.
"Haha, it's not too late, it's time for the leader of Shi to come."
As soon as the Canglang Legion retreated, Shi Potian brought his tribe members. The Canglang Legion was composed of Wuxi people. This time, there is no need to worry about no soldiers to supplement them.
Shi Potian has a generous personality. Since Wu Shun fulfilled his promise to Wuxi, the lives of the barbarians of Wuxi have undergone earth-shaking changes, which made Shi Potian realize that only by following Wu Shun can the tribe members get better and better.
After receiving the request for help from Linyuan City, the other four leaders of Wuximan recommended Shi Potian to come to support him because Shi Zhongyu led the Canglang army to fight.
"Father, you are here!"
When Shi Zhongyu arrived, Dongfang Qiang was leading Shi Potian back when he happened to meet.
Shi Potian was in a good mood when he saw his son and his former capable hands. However, in front of his son, he still had to maintain the majesty he should have:
"Boy, you two didn't lose the face of us Wuxi people."
Shi Zhongyu and Shamoko had just been ambushed by someone, and they only retreated safely with Dongfangqiang's rescue. If you want to be embarrassed, you are indeed lost.
Just when the two of them were embarrassed to answer and were at a loss, Gan Ning spoke.
"Don't worry, leader Shi, brothers Shi and Lao Sha are rare generals in my Wuling army. Our navy relies entirely on the help of the Canglang Army to escape the fate of being destroyed."
"Oh, that's not bad."
Shi Potian had no expression on his face when he heard that Gan Ning praised his son so much, but he was indeed happy.
Because of Shi Zhongyu and Shamoke, Shi Potian's status in Wuxi is second only to Tian Kuitou. Tian Kuitou gave birth to a good daughter and married Wu Shun. The Tian family's status in Wuxi suddenly became slight.
Just the second day after Shi Potian led his troops, Dongfang Qiang had a very crazy idea. He wanted to go out of the city to fight to Zhang Yun!
"General, are you considering it?"
Wen Pin has a calm personality and does not like to take risks. He thinks Dongfangqiang's idea is not yet mature and worth discussing.
"Yes, General, Zhang Yun still has more than 200,000 soldiers. We can fight less than 100,000, and the chance of winning is not great!"
Gan Ning is not optimistic about Dongfang Qiang's idea of a quick battle. The number of people is half smaller than that of the enemy, and he is looking for someone to face the front. Isn't this unhappy?
"General Wen, General Gan, and Zhang Yun have been attacking Linyuan City for a long time but have not yet fallen, and the morale of the Jingzhou army is declining. General Shi burned the Jingzhou camp again, and Zhang Yun failed to ambush. It can be said that the soldiers of Jingzhou no longer have much intention of fighting. On the contrary, with the support of Wuxi and the momentum accumulated over the past few days, we are completely enough to have a head-on confrontation with the Jingzhou army. As long as we defeat Zhang Yun head-on, Liu Biao will not dare to invade the territory after that."
Dongfang Qiang mentioned the reasons why he had to fight head-on and the factors that could win. As for the number of people, the Wuling Army could not feel the pressure at all with twice the number of enemies.
"General, what are you sending troops? The Canglang Army is willing to take the lead!"
Shi Zhongyu likes such battles when he is head-on.
"It should be the Xuanwu Legion take the lead, this is our territory."
Shi Zhongyu grabbed the lead, Guan Hai was not happy. I listened to my territory, how could I grab it?
"Do you have any objections?"
To fight, it is to give up one's own advantage and go to fight head-on with the enemy in the wild. Dongfangqiang needs to seek everyone's opinions.
"I have no objection. Lord Wu was convinced by his fierceness. Dongfangqiang has the style of Lord Wu."
Shi Potian felt that Dongfangqiang was not a reckless person, otherwise how could the title of Invincible General come from? Without any real skills, he could hardly make a fortune in the Wuling Army, which was full of talents.
"The last general is waiting for no objection."
This time, the generals of the Wuling Army had no objection. Dongfang Qiang was the main general here. If they did not have enough reason to refute Dongfang Qiang's decision, then they would do their best to implement it.
Everyone supported head-on combat, and Dongfangqiang began to arrange troops. Fighting with less and more cannot be won by rushing up in one swarm. It requires close cooperation between all troops.
The Zhuque Legion has strong range power, the Canglang Legion has many archers, the Xuanwu Legion is good at defense, and the navy and land combat skills are inferior, but they are not too weak. Together with the Wuxi barbarians who came to support, their combat effectiveness is still considerable.
