Chapter 839: Xu Shu's Tactics
After deciding to fight back, the Wuling Army soldiers turned around under the command of their respective generals and prepared to pursue the Jiangdong Army again.
The soldiers were extremely dissatisfied with the loss to the weak brigade in Jiangdong.
After receiving the orders from Shi Zhongyu and Gan Ning, they immediately burst out with enthusiasm. When they fight back again, they will let the Jiangdong Army know what the elite in the world means.
"Two generals, including the slightly injured soldiers, we can use less than 10,000 soldiers. Will we still go?"
Shamoko also wanted to go back and teach the Jiangdong Army a lesson, but after hearing the situation of the army, he found that the number of his army was not optimistic enough.
When Shi Zhongyu heard this, his heart was shocked. How could he fight with few people?
"Xingba, what do you think?" Shi Zhongyu asked.
"Not afraid, let's be careful this time. I'll go and inquire about the situation of the Jiangdong Army first. You can lead the army and follow us."
Shamoko's concerns are reasonable. Overall, the number of Jiangdong troops is still twice theirs, so you need to be careful.
They wanted to fight a beautiful counterattack, not to take the soldiers to die.
"You go? Why not go!" Shi Zhongyu said contemptuously.
With Gan Ning's temperament, Shi Zhongyu was worried that he would turn his inquiries into a striker. If he couldn't help but start a war, he might not be able to keep up with him.
Seeing that Shi Zhongyu was not convinced, Gan Ning was helpless: "Since that's the case, then you go."
"Well, I will follow you quietly with the elite scouts, and you will follow slowly behind you. Without my news, don't attack easily." Shi Zhongyu explained.
"Don't worry, don't you believe me?" Gan Ning naturally agreed to Shi Zhongyu's request.
"Don't worry, General, without your order, the Canglang Legion will never move." Shamoko promised.
"Okay, then I'll go and inquire now."
...
Because of the small number of people, Shi Zhongyu, Gan Ning and Shamoke did not dare to act rashly. In the end, Shi Zhongyu and the elite scouts of the Canglang Legion quietly followed the Jiangdong Army to inquire about military information.
The reason why scouts are elite is that when they discover the enemy, the enemy does not discover them.
Shi Zhongyu took more than a dozen scouts, and Mao was in a dense forest, watching the five scouts from Jiangdong pass quickly and go to inquire about the news about the Wuling Army.
Without intercepting, Shi Zhongyu let the five people pass by.
"General, why don't you arrest a living person and ask about the situation?"
A scout captain couldn't help asking.
"Will you give us the secrets of our army if you are caught by the enemy?" Shi Zhongyu asked.
"I would rather die than say half a single person!" The scout captain hurriedly expressed his attitude.
"Isn't that all, Jiangdong scouts are all elite, and it's useless to catch live."
After Shi Zhongyu finished speaking, the scout captain secretly wiped his cold sweat. He almost pushed himself into the fire pit just now.
"Just wait here, they may return." Shi Zhongyu said.
Sure enough, after waiting for most of the day, Shi Zhongyu saw the five people rushing back.
"Go back and notify the Grand Commander, the Wuling Army is here again."
"It's still the great governor who is wise. He has already decided that the Wuling Army will return, and he has already..."
During the run, two Jiangdong scouts were talking, and Shi Zhongyu heard some of them.
"Isn't Zhou Yu the Grand Governor? Is it that Zhou Yu is not dead? Is it still wise?"
These fragments of words have allowed Shi Zhongyu to analyze something.
"Let's go ahead and inquire. Zhou Yu is not dead. The Jiangdong Army may be ambushing." Shi Zhongyu said.
"General, isn't Zhou Yu dead? Was he resurrected from the dead?" asked the captain of the scout.
"No matter whether he is dead or alive, we will know when we go and take a look. You have heard it just now. The Jiangdong Army has arrangements, so be careful." Shi Zhongyu said again.
"General, there is danger ahead. You might as well go back first and inquire about the enemy's situation. We can go there." The captain of the scout was worried about Shi Zhongyu's safety and advised him to return.
But Shi Zhongyu has come, and he is not those who are afraid of death, so how can he return?
The scout captain's suggestion was rejected and the scout team continued to move forward.
Since it is inquiring about the news, you cannot take the usual path. Fortunately, the scouts of the Canglang Legion are all climbing mountains and wading on water. As the leader of the legion, Shi Zhongyu will naturally not be bad either.
When they touched a valley and found that there was a Jiangdong army inside, Shi Zhongyu shouted in his heart that he was lucky.
Fortunately, they did not pursue them rashly, otherwise they would have to be wiped out if they entered this valley!
"Go back! Zhou Yu set up an ambush here, and the pursuit plan was suspended."
Shi Zhongyu and his men quietly retreated out of the valley and ran back all the way.
Seeing Shi Zhongyu inquiring about the enemy's situation and returning, Gan Ning immediately stepped forward to inquire about the specific situation.
"Xingba, Zhou Yu is not dead, and there is an ambush in the valley ahead!" Before Gan Ning could speak, Shi Zhongyu said it first.
"Isn't dead? Is there an ambush?" Gan Ning was a little confused. Wasn't Zhou Yu dead? Otherwise, how could the Jiangdong Army burst out with such a strong combat power and defeat them?
"Yes, Zhou Yu is really not dead. I saw his handsome flag!" Shi Zhongyu said.
"What should we do? Are we going?"
Gan Ning felt a little regretful.
"Let's do it, the army slows down. The Jiangdong Army only has ambush in the valley. As long as we don't go in, it's okay. We should quickly inform Military Commander Xu of the military situation here." Shi Zhongyu said.
"Yes, let the military advisor plan." Gan Ning raised his hands to agree with Shi Zhongyu's statement.
Xu Shu could get away from them by thinking about such things.
"You, go back and report this matter to the military advisor, please decide!" Shi Zhongyu said, pointing to the scout captain who accompanied him to inquire about military information.
"Young man, go here!" The scout captain did not dare to delay and set off immediately!
...
Chengdu, General's Mansion.
Wu Shun was in a good mood when he received the news that Xu Shu had captured Jiangxia. However, considering that the relationship with Jiangdong deteriorated after the war, the more than 20,000 troops there were probably unable to suppress the situation. After discussing with Zhuge Liang, Wu Shun decided to send Zhao Yun to lead the Qilin Legion in Yizhou to support him.
Jiangxia City is broken, but there are still many counties in Jiangxia County that have not been recovered.
Zhao Yun's execution ability is also super strong. He led his troops to the battle regardless of the fatigue of a year of battle!
In order for the Qilin Legion to arrive quickly, Xu Shu sent a warship back to the rescue. Jiangxia is also a barrier to Jingzhou.
Now that we belong to the Wuling Army, we naturally have to send a large army to defend it.
Soon, Zhao Yun's Qilin Legion arrived in Jiangxia City.
The scout captain sent back by Shi Zhongyu arrived two days ago, and Xu Shu already knew about Zhou Yu's ambush.
He had never made any moves, just waiting for the Qilin Legion! He knew that Zhao Yun had a cavalry of two thousand people under his command.
The Jiangdong Army is now dominated by naval forces and has extremely few cavalry. Even if Zhou Yu has cavalry under his command, he is not an opponent of the Qilin Cavalry.
After all, the Qilin Cavalry has been destroyed several times after several major battles. I am used to seeing big scenes and have rich experience in fighting on the battlefield.
Especially Zhao Yun, who was extremely powerful in his military power, made the general Cao's army breathless on the battlefield in Xudu.
As soon as Zhao Yun arrived, he was summoned by Xu Shu to the commander's tent and informed him of some of the situations in the Jiangdong Army.
"Military advisor, please order if you have any plans!"
Zhao Yun knew that Xu Shu must have prepared a way to break the enemy, otherwise he would not have waited for him to come.
"Zilong can lead his troops to that valley and defeat the enemy with Xingba and Shi Zhongyu!" Xu Shu said.
The Qilin Legion had 20,000 troops, and there were nearly 10,000 troops ahead. Even rushing into the valley could scare Zhou Yu!
But even so, Zhao Yun was still quite puzzled. Why didn’t the military advisor give tactics?
"Military advisor, how to defeat the enemy, it is still clear..." Zhao Yun said.
"Tear a stone to ask for directions, or lead a snake out of the cave!" Xu Shu said.
Well, Xu Shu gave both options and tactical arrangements, so Zhao Yun had to lead his troops to join Gan Ning and Shi Zhongyu.
All of this is risking the real situation of the Jiangdong Army. The Jiangdong scout was unable to find out.
