Chapter 464(1/2)
Let’s talk about Xun You Corps.
Huang Zhong and his 20,000 archer divisions boarded the transport ship at Xiakou Pier, and under the protection of five-masted warships and assault boats, they quickly sailed towards the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.
Arriving in Linjiang County on the same day, he took Wang Wei and his 50,000 Wuxi Valley mountain troops who were stationed here.
The 50,000 mountain soldiers were originally just a group of indigenous people, possessing strong strength but little fighting ability and no fighting skills.
However, after several years of intensive training, the natives of Wuxi Valley have undergone earth-shaking changes and transformed into a qualified mountain soldier.
Fifty thousand mountain soldiers were originally trained by Qin Qi as troops to attack Yizhou.
Wang Wei has been training mountain soldiers over the years, and he feels extremely depressed when he sees his fellow soldiers continuously making military exploits.
There is no order to send troops!
Suddenly he received an order from the military to prepare and wait for the arrival of Xun You's military advisor to attack Yizhou.
Suddenly, Wang Wei burst into tears!
It's finally time to go on an expedition.
For more than four years, he has been training mountain soldiers. The requirements are still the training outline given by the military. Wang Wei has been training strictly for fear of not meeting the military requirements.
The natives of Wuxi Valley are indeed the best source of mountain troops.
They have lived in deep mountains and old forests since childhood, and walking on mountain roads is commonplace, as if they are treading on flat ground.
Wang Wei performed really well!
Seeing Wang Wei's performance, Qin Qi did not hesitate to promote Wang Wei to the rank of two-star major general commander of the Mountain Infantry Division.
Become the absolute senior officer in the Xiakou Army.
Linjiang City Lord’s Mansion:
Xun You summoned Huang Zhong, Wang Wei, Xing Sang, Xing Daorong, Gan Ning, Cai Mao and other army and navy officers.
"Generals, I have just received news that Liu Yan has sent Wu Yi as commander, along with Deng Xian, Zhuo Ying, and Lei Tong.
Fifty thousand soldiers and horses have already left Bajun City and are heading towards Linjiang to kill. Their goal is not Linjiang.
But the four counties in Jingnan want to sneak attack our Xiakou army and take control of the four counties in Jingnan. This is intolerable to us.
We must counterattack. According to the Lord's wishes, after repelling the Yizhou army, we can take advantage of the situation to capture Bajun.
As long as Bajun City is captured, the entire door of Yizhou will be completely opened to our Xiakou Army."
Xun You pointed at the map and said.
"Wu Yi's 50,000-strong army will definitely have to cross the Yangtze River. This requires General Gan's navy to attack and annihilate the ships crossing the river. We cannot allow a single Yizhou soldier to cross the Yangtze River."
Xun You said.
"Military advisor, make sure to complete the mission."
Gan Ning said.
"General Gan, the navy's warships must be well hidden and block attacks in the upper domain. On the water, there will be no problem in trying to escape.
However, there will still be a large number of Yizhou soldiers on land, and we cannot wait until all Yizhou soldiers have crossed the river before attacking.
This is not in our interests. When the Yizhou soldiers begin to cross the river, they must be blocked in the middle of the river.
The Yizhou soldiers on the shore should be handed over to the mountain infantry division and the archer division to annihilate them, and do not let them escape."
Xun You said.
"As you command!"
Huang Zhong and Wang Wei stood up to receive the order.
"In order to block the Yizhou soldiers' retreat, General Xing Daorong led 10,000 mountain troops, setting off from the mountain path and ambushing them here.
When the Yizhou soldiers passed by the river, General Xing Daorong led his troops down the mountain, completely blocking the retreat of the Yizhou soldiers, and came to catch the turtles in a jar."
Xun You pointed at the map and ordered.
"As you command!"
The road of punishment and the road of glory.
"The frontal battlefield was blocked by General Wang Wei's mountain troops, and General Huang Zhong's archer division used bows and arrows to kill them."
Xun You said.
"As you command!"
Wang Wei, Huang Zhongdao.
Wang Wei was extremely excited.
Finally can show his head.
Damn it!
After waiting for several years, my hair has turned gray.
Let's talk about Wu Yi's regiment. The army left Bajun and walked slowly along the Yangtze River, heading towards Linjiang.
To be honest, Wu Yi was not at ease. He always felt that the sneak attack on the four counties in Jingnan would not go smoothly and he might lose his troops.
But what?
Liu Yan didn’t listen to Wu Yi’s words!
We can only reluctantly send troops.
Wu Yi and Wu Ziyuan were from Chenliu in Yanzhou. Their family followed Liu Yan into Yizhou a few years ago, and they were trusted by Liu Yan.
Wu Yizhi's sister is Liu Paopao's wife and the elder brother of Empress Wu of Shu Han Dynasty. During Liu Paopao's period, Wu Yi was also highly used.
Liu Paopao died, and he was one of the most important officials in Tuogu.
Generally speaking, Wu Yi is still capable, no worse than Li Yan. The key is that Wu Yi has high emotional intelligence.
He does well wherever he goes.
Wu Yi was cautious along the way, sending out a large number of scout horses to conduct reconnaissance along the way, for fear of being ambushed.
"General Wu, we are suddenly sending troops to attack the four counties in Jingnan this time. The Xiakou Army will definitely not know about it, so there is no need to be so cautious."
Deng Xian shook his head and said.
"General Deng, as soon as the army left Ba County, I had a bad premonition and always felt that something would happen.
But I can’t tell where something will happen, and I’m so confused!”
Wu Yidao.
"General Wu, you are being paranoid. It is impossible for Xiakou to receive any news about our sudden dispatch of troops this time.
After we capture the four counties in Jingnan, if the Xiakou army wants to attack, we can rely on the city to stop it, and victory will be ours."
Lei Tongdao.
Seeing that his generals Deng Xian, Lei Tong, Zhuo Ying and other generals did not take it seriously, Wu Yi felt even more uneasy and felt that danger might come at any time.
"Don't let your guard down, everyone, be careful and the boat will sail for thousands of years. Let's not capsize the boat in the gutter, as that will make it difficult to wait for the Lord."
Wu Yidao.
Deng Xian and Lei Tong were also among the entourage who followed Liu Yan into Yizhou. They were also highly valued by Liu Yan and their status was no worse than that of Wu Yi. It was only when the fortune teller said that Wu Yi's sister was destined to be queen that Liu Yan started to pay attention to Wu Yi.
If not for this, it would not be Wu Yi's turn to be the head coach this time, but Deng Xian.
For this reason, Deng Xian was angry with Wu Yi.
Upon arriving at their destination, the soldiers of the Yizhou Army cut down trees and built wooden rafts, preparing to cross the Yangtze River and attack the four counties of Jingnan.
If you want to cross 50,000 soldiers and horses, you need to build a lot of wooden rafts. Of course, it is impossible to cross the Yangtze River in one go.
To be cautious, Wu Yi ordered thousands of wooden rafts to be built.
It can transport 20,000 soldiers at a time.
But what Wu Yi didn't know was that these soldiers who used wooden rafts to cross the Yangtze River would suffer a devastating blow from the Xiakou Navy Navy.
Densely packed rafts of wood poured into the water. A Yizhou soldier squatted on the raft and rowed across the river.
The Yizhou soldiers rowed the raft with all their strength.
Suddenly, countless Xiakou division warships appeared in the upper and lower areas of the Yangtze River and collided with the Yizhou soldiers on the wooden rafts.
Whoosh whoosh!
The archers on the warship fired, and a Yizhou soldier standing on the wooden raft was severely injured and his blood spurted out.
Gudong!
Gudong!
Even the Yizhou soldiers who were not shot fell into the river one after another. Fortunately, the Yizhou soldiers had been trained to swim before the expedition.
But what?
To be continued...
