Chapter 681: Dispatching troops
Ma Chao felt that Xiliang still had the power to send over. This was also a great opportunity to show his loyalty to his lord Wu Shun.
After Xiliang surrendered to Yizhou, it was still under the control of his Ma family. At such critical moments, we need to stand up and express our attitude.
With Ma Chao's emotional intelligence, he naturally would not stand up and talk about these things. However, he had a relationship with Ma Dai behind him, and he had already told him about the powerful relationship.
Wu Shun looked at Ma Chao and probably knew what he meant. Whether it was loyal or clear attitude.
Wu Shun was very happy that Ma Chao was the first to stand up, because Ma Chao had already regarded himself as a member of the Wuling Army.
One or two can be seen from the improvement of his relationship with Wei Yan.
However, there is a reason why Wu Shun did not adjust too many Western Liang troops to participate in the war:
"Meng Qi, Xiliang Iron Cavalry has already 20,000 people following the army. Your father still has the important task of defending the border. You cannot weaken the defense power of the border just because you want to fight Cao Cao. If you let aliens enter Xiliang to harm the Han people, it will be my dereliction of duty."
Xiliang is the sphere of influence of Yizhou, and Wu Shun has the responsibility to protect his territory. He also knows that the Xiliang army can fight and dares to fight.
However, foreign races on the border need a strong army to intimidate! The Western Liang army led by Ma Teng is the best choice. With Ma Teng here, foreign races such as Qiang, Xiongnu dare not knock on the border!
After Wu Shun said this, everyone present felt emotion.
It turns out that the lord thought so far!
The generals were a little ashamed because when Ma Chao said that the Xiliang army could attack the city, they all thought that they could mobilize more Xiliang soldiers.
"The lord is wise!"
Everyone shouted together! At this moment, only these four words can express their feelings.
"There is nothing wise or not. When Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao fought at Jieqiao, they did not recall the soldiers who defended the frontier. Otherwise, Gongsun Zan would not have been defeated so simply."
Wu Shun said.
In the past, Gongsun Zan occupied Youzhou and used the White Horse to tremble all ethnic groups on the grassland. He used the iron-blooded means of killing and killing to create a great reputation.
When the Han Dynasty fought against each other, there was a reason why foreign races did not invade.
Just the last time Wei Yan angered the Xianbei and blamed Yuan Shao, Wu Shun and Cao Cao both chose to suspend all military affairs, so that Yuan Shao could safely kill the Xianbei people.
Even Wu Shun and Cao Cao really wanted to help Yuan Shao!
This shows a problem. It doesn’t matter if the Han people fight to death in their own territory, but if the foreign race wants to fight in, don’t think so!
Of course, in history, foreign races still fought in. But that was all about the Three Kingdoms.
Wu Shun felt that since he had traveled to the Three Kingdoms and had made a career, he could not let the tragic experience of the Five Barbarians invading China happen again!
"Lord, the Xuanwu Legion can be dispatched here, and it is of great use whether it attacks or defense!"
After sighing about Wu Shun's noble character, Xu Shu suggested.
The Xiliang army cannot move, so the Xuanwu Legion can always come over. Now the war in Jingzhou has reached the Red Cliff, and Liu Biao has no strength to attack.
"The Xuanwu Legion can go north and recruit soldiers from various counties to replace their guard positions."
Wu Shun agreed to Xu Shu's proposal.
"By the way, I'll send the order to Shi Zhongyu and ask him to bring the Canglang Legion here."
Wu Shun said again.
The Canglang Legion is composed of Wuxi people, with courage in style and courage in combat. Not only is the attack power strong enough, but the movement ability is also strong.
If you really want to count it, the Canglang Legion is a cavalry among infantrymen!
"Lord, it seems that I have forgotten a powerful general!"
Xu Shu reminded.
"Oh? But General Zhang Xiu?"
Wu Shun asked.
“That’s right!”
Xu Shu was very surprised that Wu Shun did not forget.
"General Zhang Xiu is the King of Guns in the North, how could I forget? Well, send him an order and lead his troops to help!"
Wu Shun made a decision immediately.
There is no place to defend Yizhou now, as long as you focus on fighting against the Cao Cao alliance, Wu Shun was transferred over as long as the army and generals who could be dispatched.
Time flies a month. In this month, the Wuling Army and the Cao and Liu coalition have experienced many frictions, and both sides have their own victory or defeat.
On the Cao army, the fierce generals Xu Chu and Xiahou Dun recovered from injuries. In addition, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, under Liu Bei's command, fought with the Wuling army in a vivid and exciting way.
In this month, all the Wuling Army units mobilized by Wu Shun were in place.
At this time, the Wuling Army was full of talents and starry-like stars!
White Tiger Legion: Zhang Xiong, Huang Zhong, Gao Shun, Zhou Cang.
Vermilion Bird Legion: Dongfang Qiang, Zhang Liao.
Xuanwu Legion: Wen Pin, Guan Hai.
Qinglong Legion: Wei Yan, Pei Yuanshao.
Qilin Legion: Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren, Yan Yan.
Canglang Legion: Jade of the Stone, Shamoko.
Xiliang Iron Cavalry: Ma Chao, Ma Dai.
Elite county soldiers: Zhang Xiu.
In terms of military generals, a total of 18 powerful generals from the Wuling Army gathered, putting great pressure on the Cao and Liu coalition forces. This is not counting as Wu Shun and Qu.
On the soldiers, the Wuling Army gathered 180,000 troops, which made the Cao-Liu-Cao-Liu coalition in Xudu almost breathless.
Fortunately, Cao Cao had the experience of defeating the strong with the weak, and Liu Bei himself was also an indestructible young man. He forcibly ignored the pressure of the Wuling Army and held his foothold in Xudu.
The war will break out sooner or later, both Wu Shun and Cao Cao know it!
The temptation and friction between the two armies were obviously much more than before. The confrontation between scouts was going on all the time.
In order to gain the initiative in the scout war, Cao's army merged the two groups of scouts into one group to kill the Wuling Army scouts.
This situation angered Wu Shun, and the Wuling Army immediately took countermeasures and sniped several times to kill Cao's scouts. At the same time, the black-clothed guards participated in the battle, and the Wuling Army won the intelligence collection.
In September of the 11th year of Jian'an, Wu Shun personally led 100,000 soldiers to siege Xudu in three directions!
Under the continuous attack of the Suzaku Legion's catapult, the siege battle began!
Zhang Xiong, Huang Zhong, Wen Pin, Guan Hai, and the main attack on the front. Under the cover of long-range fire bombs, the White Tiger Legion and the Xuanwu Legion advanced quickly!
On the other two city walls, Zhao Yun led the Qilin Army and Zhang Xiu led the soldiers under his command to conduct a feint attack.
"Soldiers, break through Xudu, be granted the title of marquis and generals! Kill!"
In this battle, the slogans of the Wuling Army changed. After capturing Xudu, Cao Cao's strength would definitely be greatly damaged. As long as the Wuling Army wins, no one in the world can match it.
But is Xu Zhuo so easy to break? Everything depends on the will of the Wuling Army soldiers!
"Granted the marquis and the generals! Kill!"
The Wuling Army soldiers, whose morale has always remained high, launched the most fierce attack on Xu Du.
The White Tiger Legion and the Xuanwu Legion are the most powerful siege corps among the Wuling Army. After they worked together, the effect was amazing!
Facing the madness of the Wuling Army, Cao Cao had to use the lives of his soldiers to intercept them!
The battle started to the most tragic level!
Chapter completed!
