Chapter three hundred and ninety seventh: Yidao County fell
Cai Mao and his friends returned to Jingzhou. Before they could get out of the shadow of defeat, they were shocked by the sudden news.
"Lord, Wu Shun sent troops?"
Cai Mao looked unbelievable. Just two months later, wouldn’t the soldiers in Yizhou not need to be repaired?
Liu Biao was also helpless about Wu Shun's sudden dispatch of troops.
"Dongfangqiang dispatched 90,000 troops to attack Yidu County from Linyuan, and has already captured two cities in a row. He is attacking Yidao County! Now we need to send troops to reinforce us immediately. Who would like to go to Yidu County to resist the Wuling Army?"
The only news that Liu Biao got was from Dongfang Qiang, and the Xiliang cavalry currently stationed in Badong has not been exposed.
For Jingzhou, the pressure is not very high. Just one general needs to go to guard the city. If you can't defeat the city, the Wuling Army will naturally retreat.
"I'm willing to go!"
Seeing that the generals present were afraid of Dongfangqiang and did not dare to fight, Cai Mao stood up. Although he was commanding the navy, there was no big problem in commanding the city.
"Lord, I am willing to go with General Cai Mao."
Because Cai Mao was sent to take the opportunity to take control of military power, Zhang Yun went out to seek war. With him, he could slightly limit Cai Mao's rights.
Seeing that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were willing to go to Yidu County, Liu Biao felt relieved. He was afraid that the people under his command would be scared by the Wuling Army. Now it seems that there are still people in Jingzhou who are not afraid of the Wuling Army.
"Okay, the two generals send troops quickly and must defend Yidu County!"
Liu Biao agreed to let Cai Mao and Zhang Yun go to the battle, and then ordered: "Mr. Kuai Yue is responsible for all matters in logistics supply."
"Subordinate to obey the order!"
The sudden attack of the Wuling Army made the entire Jingzhou move. In other words, Jingzhou was rich and could only use troops continuously. Two months ago, attacking Wuling County, Jingzhou consumed countless money and food.
The prefect of Yidu County was a literati, and his subordinates had already shot Shi Zhongyu with an arrow to death. If it weren't for the many soldiers guarding the city and private soldiers supported by the aristocratic families, he would have been preparing to open the city and surrender.
The scene of the Wuling Army siege was too terrifying. Fireballs kept firing, smashing the city tower and destroying the battlements. The extremely tragic scene made the soldiers guarding the city frightened.
This is just an appetizer before the siege. The soldiers of the Wuling Army have not yet approached the city wall.
Outside Yidao County, the generals of the Wuling Army surrounded Dongfangqiang, preparing for his orders and launching a siege.
From Linyuan to the north, the Wuling Army easily captured two small cities, and in front of them was the capital of Yidu County.
"General, how long will it take to bombard him?"
Zhao Yun cooperated with Dongfangqiang for the first time and didn’t know the combat style of the Suzaku Legion.
"General Zilong, don't be anxious! You can still hold on to the catapult."
When the Dongfang strongly attacks the city, you must first hit the stone bullets to minimize the enemy's morale. This can reduce the difficulty of siege and reduce casualties.
"The lord has always taught that when you can strike at a long range, you don't have to rush to fight in close combat. The catapult carts will continue to bombard the enemy guarding the city, and the morale will soon be disintegrated."
After carrying Wu Shun out, no one refuted Dongfang Qiang. All the generals knew that Wu Shun cherished the lives of soldiers. He would rather consume more equipment than waste a soldier.
"General Dongfang, you said that Yidao County will definitely not be able to defend it. Why didn't they open the city to surrender?"
Guan Hai has been struggling with this problem. The two small towns in front were bombarded by catapults for a long time, and then he opened the city to surrender. When he arrived here, the defenders in the city had no tendency to surrender.
After hearing Guan Hai's inquiry, Dongfang Qiang smiled:
"General Guan, do you know what the lord did before?"
"Participate the mountain and become the king!"
Guan Hai answered casually without thinking.
"Yes, Yidao County is the capital of Yidu County, and there are many landlord families in the city. It is reasonable to surrender if the city fails to open the city."
Guan Hai understood after Dongfang Qiang's explanation.
"According to the general, if you want to grab territory in the future, you have to continue to fight one city after another?"
If this is the case, it will be very stressful. Guan Hai suddenly felt that it was not worth it for Wu Shun to offend the gentry.
"What are you afraid of? The Wuling Army wants to attack the city, who can still defend it? Just smash him!"
In order to cheer up the generals, Dongfang Qiang was domineering.
After pouring out countless stone bullets, the throwing car stopped roaring. Dongfangqiang immediately arranged an attack:
"General Guan Hai!"
"The last one will be here!"
"I ordered you to lead the soldiers of the Xuanwu Legion, with shields in front of you, and to cover the archers and siege soldiers to advance."
"I will obey the order!" Guan Hai took the order and left.
"General Zhao Yun, General Gan Ning!"
"The last one will be here!"
Dongfang Qiang ordered two more generals.
"The Qilin Army and the navy soldiers attacked the city walls on the east and west respectively."
"I will obey the order!"
"Canglang Legion, attack head-on!"
"yes!"
After the arrangement was completed, the sound of war drums in the Wuling Army formation started. The square formations slowly moved to the designated position.
The orange hammer was pushed out in the well railing. The soldiers carried the ladders and quietly waited for the order to charge.
Everything was ready, Dongfangqiang raised his right hand and pulled it down hard.
"Siege!"
"Run~ Kill!"
The morale of the Wuling army was high, and the shouts of killing were trembling in the sky.
In Yidao County, the literati prefect was so anxious that he ran down when the Wuling Army was expelling its power.
Now that there is such a big noise outside the city, it must have begun to attack the city.
"Sir, the enemy attacks the city, please go up to the city wall to inspire morale."
A strong man with a general looked like a general and walked up to the city. No matter how hard the prefect struggled, he could not break free from those big hands.
The general was a family general of the gentry. His master did not want Yidao County to be over, so he of course had to do his best.
"Arrowman, fight back!"
The general took the prefect to the city and started commanding the battle directly. Yesterday, the county magistrate of Yidao County had been killed in battle, and now he is the one who has the ability to command.
When the soldiers guarding the city heard someone's order, they hurriedly followed the orders. The Wuling Army attacked too fiercely. There were more arrows under the city than them and more accurate.
Most of the arrows shot down from the city were blocked by shields. Long-range suppression was actually better at Wuling Army.

The ladder was put on the city wall, and the Wuling army soldiers climbed up with shields. From time to time, some people were smashed down, and someone immediately made up for it.
"The Jinglan is here, find a way to stop it!"
The tall well railing approached the city wall, causing panic. The archers on the well railing quickly bent their bows and shot arrows to cover the soldiers on the ladder.
"Hahaha, I'm finally here! Babies, die!"
Guan Hai was the first to climb the city wall, and after laughing three times, he started the massacre mode. A big sword was blown tightly and the enemy soldiers who dared to approach him died without exception.
"General, be brave, brothers, kill me!"
The soldiers who followed Guan Hai saw that his courage was unstoppable, and the fighting spirit suddenly exploded, and he followed Guan Hai to quickly seize the living space!
On the east side of Yidao County, under the fierce attack of the Qilin Legion, it quickly fell. Zhao Yun came to the top of the city and was possessed by a god. A long spear directly penetrated a wall!
"Sir, the east of the city is lost!"
Someone came to report to the east of the city, but unfortunately their prefect was already scared and muttered to himself, "The devils are all devils..."
"Sir, the west of the city is lost! Yidao County cannot be defended!" Another person came to report.
"Run! Uh~"
The prefect, who was originally stupid, suddenly stood up and shouted. Suddenly, a sharp arrow flew over from a distance and penetrated straight into the prefect!
"grown ups?"
The general who commanded the city to guard the city panicked, and all the prefects and magistrates of a county died in battle. Now there are less than 5,000 people in the entire city.
"Support it all!"
Only by retreating can one have a way out. But without the permission of the master, he cannot retreat!
At this time, Shi Zhongyu and Shamoke also killed the city. The fall of Yidao County was only a matter of seconds.
With so many generals of the Wuling Army attacking the city at the same time, those who can defend the city will definitely not be a weak prefect.
