Chapter 465: Preparations before the war
"Dongfang, what do you think?"
Wu Shun just mentioned his thoughts, but he didn't expect Dongfang Qiang to agree with it first.
Seeing that Wu Shun wanted to listen to his opinions, Dongfang hurriedly sorted out his thoughts and pondered for a moment:
"Lord, our cavalry is here, and our strength is overwhelming the coalition forces. With the White Tiger Legion and the long-range strike of the Vermilion Bird Legion, the last general believes that it can fight head-on with the enemy."
"Yes, most of the coalition forces are infantrymen, and under the horse's hooves of my elite cavalry, they can only tremble. In addition, many of our generals in Yizhou are here, are they still afraid of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao?"
Wu Shunyue became happier when he thought about it. Most of the powerful generals under his command were concentrated in Chang'an City, which was full of starry stars. If this could not be repelled from the Yuan and Cao coalition, it would be a name for insulting Yizhou.
The chaos in the whole world is based on the Chang'an area as the main battlefield. As long as the victory or defeat is decided here, the war in other places will naturally subside soon.
"Lord, is he going to fight the enemy to a decisive battle. Are you considering sending troops from Hanzhong?"
Fazheng asked the way.
How come Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have a total of 150,000 troops together. Not to mention humans, even if they have 150,000 pigs, they don’t know how long it will take to kill them.
Fa Zheng felt it was necessary to transfer troops from Hanzhong.
"Deploy troops? Hanzhong County's troops are good, but as long as you guard Hanzhong well, it's enough. In the battle of Chang'an, there were three major legions and the Western Liang Iron Cavalry enough."
Wu Shun was so proud that he was very arrogant.
There are 20,000 cavalry in the Qinglong cavalry, 20,000 cavalry in the Xiliang cavalry, 20,000 cavalry in the personal guard camp, and 2,000 Qilin cavalry. In total, he has 44,000 cavalry.
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao may not dare to fight head-on. In addition, the existence of the White Tiger Legion and the Vermilion Bird Legion are both defense and long-range, so county soldiers are no longer needed.
"Is the military advisor worried that we can't take over the Yuan and Cao coalition forces?"
Wei Yan said a little unhappy.
Now Chang'an has gathered many generals of the Wuling Army, and Ma Chao and Ma Dai of the Western Liang Army are all absolutely advantageous to the upper coalition.
"General Wei is serious. It is not because he doubts the ability of the generals, but because our army is only half of the enemy's number. In order to prevent it, it is safer to increase troops."
As a military advisor, after Wu Shun made the decision, Fa Zheng’s duty was to check for shortcomings and fill in the gaps. In fact, it is true that the increase in troops is also able to enhance the confidence of the soldiers.
"Xiaozhi, there is no need to increase troops. I will send troops tomorrow to fight Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in the last battle. Let them know that even if they break through Hangu Pass, they will not be able to do anything to our Yizhou."
Wu Shun made the decision.
Although the troops are only half of the opponent's strength, the Wuling Army is not comparable to an ordinary army. It is completely possible for one person to exert the strength of two people.
"The lord is wise!"
The generals shouted together.
Isn’t they waiting for the order of Wu Shun?
"Wei Yan!"
Wu Shun began to assign tasks.
"The last one will be here!"
Wei Yan was a little excited. When he heard Wu Shun's first name, he hurried forward and responded.
"I ordered you to lead 20,000 people from the Qinglong Legion to serve as the left wing of the army and protect the central army!"
"I will obey the order!"
After the position of the Qinglong Legion was determined, Wu Shun looked at Ma Chao and said:
"Ma Chao!"
"The last one will be here!"
"I ordered you to command the Western Liang Iron Cavalry to the right wing of the army and protect the central army!"
"The last general will receive the order!"
Ma Chao replied.
If the two wings of cavalry are arranged, the front army must be arranged. The legion that is responsible for the front army mission must have a sharp attack, and it is best to be able to get up at once.
In a position, the White Tiger Legion was the only one who took the lead, but unfortunately they lost most of their losses at Hangu Pass and their attack power was not as good as before.
So Wu Shun was preparing to let the Suzaku Legion serve as the current army.
"Dongfangqiang!"
"The last one will be here!"
"I ordered you to lead the Suzaku Legion as the front army, and use the attack methods you are good at to open up the situation for the army!"
"I will obey the order!"
Dongfang Qiang was very happy that the sharpness of the Vermilion Bird Legion was finally revealed to the world again.
"Zhang Xiong!"
Wu Shun finally thought of the White Tiger Legion.
"Brother!"
Zhang Xiong was almost crying. Wu Shun was only thinking of him now that he had to take up a good position.
"As the central army, Baihu Camp and the Prince Guard Camp, your mission is to protect the Suzaku Legion when the enemy rushes over, so that it will not be disturbed."
Wu Shun said.
"Brother, won't the White Tiger Legion participate in the attack?"
To be honest, Zhang Xiong resisted the guard mission.
"Abide by the order!"
Wu Shun's eyes slanted, and Zhang Xiong became timid and quickly responded: "Yes, brother!"
Once the central army is arranged, then the legion that serves as the rear army will be the Qilin Legion. They are just right for the combination of infantry and cavalry to be the reserve force.
"Zhao Yun!"
"The last one will be here!"
"The Qilin Legion serves as the rear army and is ready to be dispatched at any time."
"The last general will receive the order!"
After Zhao Yun received the order, the arrangements for attacking Yuan and Cao's coalition forces tomorrow will be allocated.
"Lord, all the troops are sent out, Chang'an City is empty!"
Fazheng is in a hurry.
Wu Shun made such an arrangement, the offensive end was very powerful, but is Chang'an City no longer defending? What should we do if the enemy divided the troops and came to the detour?
"Haha, it depends on Xiaozhi's ability."
Wu Shun smiled.
Seeing Wu Shun's style of hand-off manager, Fa Zheng was about to cry without tears.
All the troops went out, and there were only some war refugees left in Chang'an, and they could barely survive by relying on military rations to save them. Did they rely on them to defend the city?
"By the way, it's not easy for us to concentrate so many generals in Chang'an. Let me assign a task."
Wu Shun suddenly thought of a key question.
"Please give me instructions."
The generals were a little confused. Don’t they all lead the troops in person? How do they still need to distribute them?
"Zilong, Hansheng, second brother, you three are temporarily joining the personal guard camp. Together with Qu A, lead troops to the camp!"
"I will obey the order!"
The three of them replied.
Compared to leading troops to fight, they were more willing to lead troops to charge. In particular, they were led by Wu Shun's personal guard camp.
"General Gao Shun is responsible for commanding the entire White Tiger Legion! Yan Yan and Zhang Ren are responsible for the Qilin Legion."
Wu Shun ordered again.
"I will obey the order!"
Gao Shun, Yan Yan, and Zhang Ren replied.
"Okay, go and prepare!"
Wu Shun waved his hand to drive away the people. The generals immediately retreated and went to reorganize the army and prepare for war.
"My lord, are you a little risky? If you can't win quickly, Chang'an City will be in danger."
At this time, Fazheng finally expressed his worries.
"Xiaozhi, we have many cavalrymen, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have no chance to circumvent the back, and our army is dispatched, looking like a decisive battle, which is exactly what they want. Yuan Shao is quite arrogant and will definitely choose to defeat our army head-on."
Wu Shun also considered the matter that Fa Zheng was worried about. There was no danger to defend near Chang'an, and only by attacking instead of defending was the way out for the Wuling Army.
What's more, there were many cavalrymen, and if they didn't attack, the cavalry would be abandoned. Using cavalry to defend the city was a luxury, and Wu Shun would not use it.
"Do you want to issue a letter of war to Yuan Shao and Cao Cao?"
Fazheng asked the way.
"Down!"
Wu Shun was determined.
A letter of war to Yuan Shao and Cao Cao is equivalent to tomorrow's battle being a head-on battle in which both sides set up their own formations. It can directly determine the ownership of the Guanzhong region.
...
In the afternoon, Wu Shun's letter of war was sent to the coalition camp. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao hurriedly summoned the generals to study Wu Shun's intentions.
