Chapter 60: Angry Liu Biao
Wenpin returned to Xiangyang with a team of less than 1,000 people and immediately went to apologize to Liu Biao. Liu Biao learned that Wenpin was defeated, and only 1,000 people remained. Liu Biao was furious!
"What famous general in Jingzhou? Can't even beat a bandit or a martial artist?" Liu Biao scolded.
Wen Pin did not explain Liu Biao's scolding. If he lost, he would lose. He lost a 50,000 army, which was the biggest stain in his life!
After thinking about it over and over again, Wen Pin felt that it was a traitor in his camp. However, Liu Biao was angry, and saying it would only make Liu Biao feel that he was shirking responsibility. Therefore, Wen Pin did not say what he was thinking.
Liu Biao scolded him for a long time and was tired. He ordered Wen Pin to be demoted to one level, and then he bombed Wen Pin out of sight, and was upset. If he failed in Changsha, it depends on whether Huang Zhong can gain something.
Liu Biao thought that if he could defeat Wenpin's 50,000 army, he must have concentrated his main force in Changsha. Then Wuling County's defense must be weak. With Huang Zhong's ability, it should be no problem to invade Wuling County!
It is indeed as Liu Biao thought, Huang Zhong easily broke through the northern defense line of Wuling. Dongfangqiang was a good player in training troops. He really led troops to fight, but he still lacked experience. He fell into Huang Zhong's plan and lost the northern defense line. Dongfangqiang had to collect his soldiers and defend Linyuan to the death!
When the people of Linyuan learned that Huang Zhong was attacking, all the Qingshang went up to the city wall to help defend the city. Tian Qian'er received the news and hurriedly brought the barbarian soldiers from Wuxi to support him!
Seeing that Linyuan City was tightly defended, Huang Zhong had no chance to take advantage of it. He had to retreat thirty miles to set up a camp! Waiting for Liu Biao to send troops to help! With these troops in his hands, he could not conquer Linyuan City, which was united as a whole.
"It is possible for the people to spontaneously help defend the city. This Wuling prefect is extraordinary!"
Huang Zhong sighed. The people spontaneously defended the city, at least in Jingbei. In Jingbei, the people were afraid of the officers and soldiers. The Wuling Prefect is so popular with the people, it seems that this battle is not easy to fight.
If Dongfang was not strong enough to have insufficient experience, Huang Zhong could not break the defense line in the north of Wuling. It was not that Wuling Army had poor combat power, but that the commander made a mistake and gave Huang Zhong the opportunity. In addition, Huang Zhong was very skilled in martial arts, and although Dongfang was not weak, he was not an opponent. In terms of momentum, Huang Zhong won half of it!
At this time, Sun Jian was pulling Wu Shun to drink in Changsha City. He was happy and drank a little too much.
"Brother Zixuan, come here, I've done this bowl!"
"Brother Wentai, let's get here today. We need to be careful. Liu Biao's soldiers are many and wide, so he may come to attack again."
Seeing that Sun Jian was a little drunk, Wu Shun couldn't help but persuade him. In fact, what Wu Shun was worried about was the safety of his Wuling County. He knew the strength of Jingzhou. It was easy to pull out hundreds of thousands of troops, just like playing! I wonder if Dongfang Qiang could defend it.
"Oh, don't be afraid, this time Liu Biao lost 50,000 troops and will not easily have disputes with you and me!"
Sun Jian’s analysis was also good. The 50,000 army is not a small number. Even if Jingzhou is rich, Liu Biao has not had a few 50,000 army to lose.
"Since that's the case, I will lead my army back to Wuling tomorrow. Since Liu Biao attacked Changsha, he will definitely send a side army to attack our Wuling."
Wu Shun said that Wuling County has not many troops left behind, and it will not be fun if the old nest is taken over by someone!
At a celebration banquet, the generals and soldiers drank a lot, and Sun Jian was generous and took out the wine and meat to reward the three armies. He kept cheering in the barracks. After winning battles, he would be rewarded by his merits. Who would be willing to be a soldier for the rest of his life?
Early the next morning, the Wuling Army set out to leave.
"Second brother, I'm uneasy these two days, I'm afraid something will happen. You can quickly bring the Canglang Army and the White Tiger Camp back to Linyuan first! If someone attacks the city, you have to lead troops into the city and increase Linyuan's guarding power. Don't fight against the enemy!"
"Okay, I'll take my troops back now!" Zhang Xiong replied. Then he ordered the troops and headed straight for Linyuan.
This is the first time I have had this feeling. What does it mean? Wu Shun said intimately.
Huang Zhong organized another siege outside Linyuan City, but unfortunately he was defeated by the Wuling Army and he didn't even find the city wall. Every time he sieges the city, the Jingzhou soldiers were forced to retreat by continuous rain of arrows. Huang Zhong couldn't understand why the Wuling Army could not use up all arrows!
"General Wang Yue, has the news given to the lord been sent out?"
Dongfang Qiang asked Wang Yue, the commander of the black guard
"It should have been delivered. What else does General Dongfang need my black guard to help?"
Wang Yue asked, the black-clothed guards are different from ordinary soldiers, they are responsible for intelligence. Although Wang Yue is training a group of dead soldiers according to Wu Shun's requirements, he has not yet been trained! It is not very useful for defending the city.
"Just tell the lord about Linyuan City, and the lord will definitely return to help! Then it will be Huang Zhong's death!"
Dongfang Qiang said viciously with red eyes. Now that he was hit by an arrow in one of his arms, he could only command and not go to the battlefield to kill the enemy in person, it was thanks to Huang Zhong! If the personal soldiers had not seen the opportunity early and hit Dongfang Qiang, Huang Zhong's arrow could have shot through his heart! It was the first time since he followed Wu Shun that Dongfang Qiang was so close to death!
Zhang Xiong led his troops to go first, and Wu Shun led the remaining Wuling army to take the spoils, and rushed towards Linyuan with a quick horse.
"Lord, someone is asking for a visit in front of you!" A messenger came to report.
“Bring it up!”
"yes!"
After the command, he ran away. A man dressed in black dress came to Wu Shun, knelt on one knee, held up a letter with both hands and said, "Lord, Lin Yuan urgently reported!"
"Take it!" Wu Shun said, and his personal soldiers came forward to win the letter.
"Leave a thousand people to transport the spoils, and the others will immediately come back to Linyuan City with me!"
After reading the letter, Wu Shun finally knew the reason for his uneasiness these days. It turned out that it was because of the attack of the old nest. He used the black guard to convey the message, and it seemed that the situation was not optimistic!
Everything about Wu Shun is now in Linyuan, the weapon workshop, the paper workshop, and the new workshop are all there! More importantly, Xiaobai is also in Linyuan City! Thinking of the maid he snatched, Wu Shun was anxious and quickly ordered.
Defeat Wen Pin and captured nearly 30,000 surrendered soldiers. Wu Shun divided 20,000, and Sun Jian didn't say anything. After all, without Wu Shun's help, Changsha might have been captured!
The surrendered soldiers in Jingzhou were moved by Wu Shun's promise, and most of them accepted reorganization and transformed into a member of the Wuling Army. Those who were unwilling to continue to join the army, Wu Shun also agreed to go to Wuling County and become ordinary people!
In this way, Wu Shun led more than 30,000 troops to march towards Linyuan! After a day of rushing, he finally arrived at Linyuan!
"Get camp and have a good rest tonight, and there will be a big battle waiting for us tomorrow!"
"yes!"
After receiving the order, the soldiers began to work hard. After dinner, Wu Shun fell asleep. He was exhausted when he fought for many consecutive days.
In the dream, Wu Shun saw Xiaobai being chased by a group of rioters. He wanted to save him, but he couldn't move or shout! He could only look at Xiaobai in horror and shout: "Save me, the master, the master, the master, the master, the master!"
"Xiaobai...Xiaobai...Run quickly! No!!"
The group of soldiers waved their swords to slash at Xiaobai, and woke Wu Shun up from his dream. It turned out to be a dream, I was scared to death! In the future, I must strengthen my manpower to protect Xiaobai! Nothing happened to my Xiaobai. Now Lin Yuan doesn’t know if it is broken. Humph, if Dongfang cannot defend a city, I will make him the real Dongfang Bubai!
Before he knew it, Xiaobai's figure was deeply imprinted in Wu Shun's heart! This was something that Wu Shun himself had never discovered.
In Xiangyang City, Liu Biao’s mansion, Kuai Yue was whispering to Liu Biao how to collect Jingnan.
"Is it possible that I have a big Jingzhou that does not have a general available?"
Kuai Yue proposed to use Wenpin and Huang Zu to continue attacking Sun Jian. He believed that Sun Jian's strength was greatly damaged after the first two attacks. He would definitely not be able to withstand the third attack! Taking advantage of Wu Shun's opportunity to return to Wuling, it was not difficult to capture Changsha County with lightning speed!
The reason why Liu Biao was angry was that Kuai Yue actually wanted to use two defeated generals! Liu Biao was so angry.
"The defeated general, He Zuyanyong, let them continue to lead the troops, you are not afraid of being laughed at by Sun Jian!"
Liu Biao said angrily. He felt that the generals from these aristocratic families were all useless, and none of them were useful!
"It is precisely because they have lost that they will definitely seize this opportunity to prove their strength. Sun Jian will definitely mock and despise them. After going all the way, I feel that our chances of winning are quite high! After defeating Sun Jian, Wu Shun was alone and Jing Nan was at his fingertips!" Kuai Yue said with a smile.
It is impossible not to say that Jingnan is still very convincing. For Jingnan, Liu Biao suppressed his anger and re-activated Wenpin and Huang Zu. The two continued to lead troops to Changsha. If they win, the official will be restored!
"This time, let Cai Mao be the main general and Huang Zuwen hired as the auxiliary. We must take Changsha County!"
After thinking about it, I felt more at ease to send Cai Mao to the scene. After all, the Cai family and Liu Biao got married! Our own people must be more reliable.
"General Cai is in charge of leading the troops himself. Yue is willing to be a military advisor and give advice to General Cai!"
The Cai family and the Kuai family are in a cooperative and competitive relationship. Cai Mao obviously made contributions this time, so of course Kuai Yue would not let the Cai family be more beautiful than before.
"Okay, that's it! The soldiers are very fast. Let's continue to inform you, and the army will set off for the battle today!"
The technique of balance is played by every person in power, and Liu Biao is obviously also a master of this! The details of the dispatch of troops were settled immediately.
It is said that Wu Shun led the Wuling Army to repair it all night and ordered the fifth day of the next day to make meals. After the soldiers were full, the army drove towards Linyuan City.
Huang Zhong was leading the army to attack the city from three sides, and the two sides fought very lively! Arrows flying in the sky, and flames burned under the city wall. The Jingzhou army carried the ladder and charged forward desperately. The soldiers stood up with shields and firmly leaned towards the city wall. The Wuling army threw rolling stones and woods into the city, dumping turtle oil!
Every moment, soldiers fell down, and there were heavy casualties on the city and under the city! The soldiers on both sides were already red in their eyes, and they had no idea of being afraid. They only had the idea of chopping over the person in front of them!
The Jingzhou army rushed to the top of the city several times, but was driven down by Zhang Xiong and the White Tiger Camp. Huang Zhong also fought with Zhang Xiong, but after only a few rounds, Huang Zhong's big sword was cut off by Zhang Xiong with one knife, and he had to abandon the knife and escape! In the chaos, Zhang Xiong didn't care about Huang Zhong, and was like a firefighter, wherever there was danger.
