Chapter 401: Arrangements before the war

After Dongfang forcibly set up an ambush and successfully ambushed and annihilated Zhang Yun's troops, Cai Mao did not dare to approach the Wuling Army too much. He only dared to follow from a distance. It was not until all the Wuling Army troops marched towards Yiling that he gingerly entered Yidao County.

In order to lure Zhang Yun, Dongfang Qiang voluntarily gave up the county town.

After entering the territory of Yiling, the speed of the Wuling army's march suddenly accelerated. The prefects and county magistrates of Yidu County all died in Yidao County, and only a few defenders were left in Yiling.

With the Wuling Army's military strength, you can break the city in just one day!

"General, Yiling is ahead. Should I rest first?"

As he walked along the way, most of the soldiers were tired. In order to restore his strength, Gan Ning suggested.

"Rest in place!"

Originally, Dongfang Qiang wanted to run a distance before resting, but when Gan Ning said that, and the soldiers were really tired, he agreed to temporarily repair it.

"How many defenders are there in Yiling City?"

Dongfang Qiang asked.

"According to the scout's return, there are about 5,000. The last general, only 20,000 people, can take Yiling City."

The Xuanwu Legion has always been known for its excellent defense, but Guan Hai did not think so. After the battle to ambush Zhang Yun, no one in the Wuling Army said that the Xuanwu Legion could only defend.

This time, Guan Hai brought only 10,000 soldiers, and he fought with the enemy several times, losing some. However, his combat power was not damaged at all. As long as Dongfangqiang allocated him another 10,000 people, he would be confident in capturing Yiling City.

"Haha, General Ziwei, you are not kind to you! There are less than 10,000 people in your Xuanwu Legion. Twenty thousand people attack the city, my Canglang Army can do it. General Dongfang, I think we will let our Canglang Army take charge of this vanguard army."

Yiling City is obviously a soft persimmon, and anyone wants to pinch it. Shi Zhongyu is no exception. It is said that the Canglang Army is powerful in the mountain war, so he wants to show the Canglang Army's ability to attack the city this time.

"Stop fighting, two generals. I think Yiling City is the most suitable for our navy soldiers to train. You also know that our navy warships are gone, and for a long time to come, they can only be used as infantrymen. How can we bear to compete with our navy for credit?"

In terms of combat effectiveness, Gan Ning's navy was not as good as the Xuanwu Legion and the Canglang Legion. Seeing that both of them were competing for the position of vanguard, Gan Ning also participated in the way of playing the emotional card.

Not to mention it, when he said that, Guan Hai and Shi Zhongyu were embarrassed to continue talking.

Zhao Yun couldn't help laughing when he looked at these live treasures. With the strong Dongfang, there is no need to fight for anyone who attacks first, and everything is free to arrange.

"Why did Zilong laugh?"

Shi Zhongyu had sharp eyes and found that Zhao Yun had a smile on his face, as if he was helpless.

"Nothing happens, I think of something interesting."

Zhao Yun couldn't say that I was happy to see you were about to work in vain, so I laughed.

Seeing that the atmosphere was relatively relaxed, Dongfangqiang wanted to arrange the siege first.

"General Zilong, can the cavalry of the Qilin Legion be able to ride and shoot?"

"Caring and shooting, but I'm not very skilled?"

Zhang Yun answered truthfully.

His Qilin Legion has cavalry and infantry, and the cavalry is rarely trained. Although it is not difficult to ride and shoot now, it is not easy to practice well.

"Just know, if you are not skilled, then you should be a training soldier."

If Dongfang Qiang knew that the Qilin cavalry could ride and shoot, he would be relieved.

"Zhao Yun!"

Dongfang Qiang suddenly said seriously.

"The last one will be here!"

Knowing that Dongfangqiang was going to issue a general order, Zhao Yun and his men quickly stood up straight with a correct attitude.

"I ordered you to lead the cavalry to attack Yiling City first after an hour! Just use cavalry and shooting to consume it! The infantry of the Qilin Legion follows the Xuanwu Legion and is temporarily commanded by me."

"The last general will receive the order!"

The siege mission actually fell on his head. After Zhao Yun accepted the order, he was naturally very happy.

Using cavalry and shooting to attack the city can only kill the enemy, but it cannot break the city. However, since Dongfang Qiang has already made arrangements, Zhao Yun has reason to believe that Dongfang Qiang has subsequent arrangements.

"Guan Hai"

Dongfang Qiang called Guan Hai again.

"The last one will be here!"

Guan Hai left the line and waited for the order.

"After you arrive, you will lead the Xuanwu Legion and Qilin Legion infantry to attack the east gate of Yiling City!"

"The last general will receive the order!"

Although it was not the first to attack, it was at least assigned to the "heavy task" of the attack. Guan Hai had nothing to complain about.

"Ganning!"

"The last one will be here!"

"Twenty thousand navy soldiers, attack the Xicheng Gate, just pay attention to the feint attack! If the losses are too large, military law will deal with it!"

Originally, Gan Ning was quite happy when he heard about attacking the Xicheng Gate, but what the heck is the feint? He was too much of a loss and returned to the military law to deal with it! Was he just shaking the flag and shouting at the Xicheng Gate?

"General Eastern? Our navy can attack the city, so you don't have to attack."

Gan Ning put forward different opinions.

"Xingba, do you know that the navy is the lord's most important military service. Now Yizhou is studying new warships. I heard that the lord designed it for the navy. If you consume all the navy soldiers on the battlefield, you will see that the lord will not punish you!"

Yizhou has indeed had a new warship, and Wu Shun really valued the navy. He also wanted to turn the navy into a navy. Dongfang Qiang moved out of Wu Shun, just to make Gan Ning not always think about fighting and killing, regardless of the casualties of the navy soldiers.

"General Dongfang, are you talking about the truth? What is the new warship captain like?"

It made Gan Ning very happy to learn that his lord himself designed a warship for the navy.

"I don't know what it looks like. I just know that if you don't protect the navy soldiers, the lord's military law will deal with you."

Dongfang Qiang smiled.

"Haha, isn't it just a feint attack? What can't our navy soldiers do? Are they, brothers?"

“Yes~”

Gan Ning roared and received a warm response from the navy soldiers. Yizhou was already designing warships, which was great news for the navy soldiers who lost the warships.

Even if Dongfang Qiang wants them to be on standby now, they will go back without hesitation.

"General Dongfang, they all have tasks, what about our Canglang Army?"

Shi Zhongyu was anxious. Gan Ning, Guan Hai, and Zhao Yun had all arranged the arrangements, but he had no mission yet. The Canglang Army was about to be abandoned.

"General Shi, your task is the heaviest! Before we can capture Yiling City, the Canglang Legion will block Cai Mao here. Is there any problem?"

Cai Mao may attack behind him at any time and cannot be disturbed when siegeing the city, so Dongfang Qiang asked the Canglang Legion, which had strong ability to move, to be responsible for interception.

"It is not a problem to stop Cai Mao, but there will be a request at the end."

Shi Zhongyu said.

"What does General Shi have to ask for? Even if he says it."

It was very difficult to stop 70,000 people from 20,000 people, and Dongfangqiang was ready to agree to Shi Zhongyu's request.

However, Shi Zhongyu's request is very different from Dongfang Qiang's conjecture:

"General, you can't use the Zhuge Bird Crossbow to attack the city? Can you let us use the Canglang army? With the Zhuge Bird Crossbow here, I guarantee that even a mosquito can't fly over."

"Yes, but you have to pay it back after using it!"

It’s not that Dongfang is stingy, so Zhuge Jubird currently only equips the Suzaku Legion. The Canglang Legion is flexible and fast, and is not suitable for mounting such heavy equipment.

"Don't worry, General, I, Shi Zhongyu, are not greedy for my own family."

If Dongfangqiang didn't take it back, Shi Zhongyu might not return it. What is Zhuge's giant crossbow? It's a big killing weapon on the battlefield! It is a magical weapon that can shock the enemy with wine.

All the generals present were salivating at Zhuge Jubird.

After an hour of rest, the soldiers recovered their strength. At this time, the catapult cart was just about to be delivered to the rest point. At this time, Zhao Yun had already led two thousand Qilin cavalry to set off.
