The order to launch a general offensive against the Kingdom of Wu has been issued to all war zones. Gao Fei is stationed in Xiling City to command remotely.
He made a plan to serve as Gan Ning's military advisor, and asked Sima Yi to go to Jiangling to serve as Gao Qi's military advisor, and Guo Jia to go to Xiapi to serve as Gao Lin's military advisor. He then used Tian Feng and Gai Xun as the masterminds to coordinate the arrangements in Xiling.
Soldiers and horses from all walks of life.
In addition, Gao Fei appointed Huya General Zhang Liao as the vanguard general and Zhuge Liang as the military advisor to lead his land and water armies to attack eastward. He led Tian Feng, Gai Xun, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Xu Huang, Zhang Fei and others from Xiling.
Go to Xunyang, and let Gao Qi lead his troops to assist Zhang He of the Third Army in attacking Jingnan.
The commander-in-chief of the third group army has many places to conquer. Jingnan and the entire Jiaozhou need to be conquered by his group army. Although it is the weak link of Wu State, there are also many Nanman, Shanyue and other ethnic minorities.
So the task is heavier.
After all the orders were issued, Gao Fei set off from Xiling, and all the news was conveyed quickly.
Through the double insurance of scouts and flying pigeons, the imperial edict quickly reached General Huang Zhong, the commander-in-chief of the Second Army stationed in Runan Prefecture.
As soon as Huang Zhong received the imperial edict, he immediately ordered his troops and horses. After he was fully clothed, he said to his men: "Let the military advisors and partial generals come to see me."
Not long after, military advisor Pang Tong and partial general Gao Peng walked in. Seeing that Huang Zhong was already wearing armor, they understood that he was about to go on an expedition.
When Huang Zhong saw Gao Peng and Pang Tong walking in, he immediately said: "The emperor's decree asked us to attack Lujiang County first according to the original plan. Among the four major armies, our army is the only one with the smaller number. I don't know what our army should do next."
What strategy can we use to capture Lujiang quickly?"
Pang Tong said: "The troops were divided into two groups. One group led the army to attack Yangquan, Anfeng, Anfeng, Lu'an, Liao County, Bo'an and other counties. The other group went directly south to capture Shucheng, the county seat of Lujiang, and then divided the troops.
We will attack Linhu, Xiang'an, Juchao, and Wancheng in several directions. With the current morale and combat effectiveness of our army, we can occupy the entire Lujiang River in less than three days."
After hearing this, Huang Zhong nodded and said, "What the military advisor said is true..."
He glanced at Gao Peng and said slowly: "The Marquis is a partial general appointed by the emperor himself, and he is also the third highness of the dynasty. Although he is under my control, there are not many generals in our army, so I would like to ask the Marquis to go alone.
Lead an army and separate forces with me. I will take the counties north of Lujiang River, and then the Marquis can lead his elite troops directly south to capture Shu City. I wonder what the Marquis wants?"
Gao Peng knew very well that Huang Zhong deliberately gave him the credit. According to Pang Tong's intention, Huang Zhong must have attacked first. In this way, reinforcements from various counties in Lujiang would inevitably be attracted. In this way, he
With only one light cavalry, the city of Lujiang County can be attacked.
"If you dare to disobey the commander-in-chief's order, just ask the commander-in-chief to give me 10,000 Qingqi. I will definitely capture all the counties in the south of Lujiang." Gao Peng said confidently without hesitation.
After hearing this, Huang Zhong smiled and said: "Yes, very good. Shiyuan, you will follow His Highness the Third Prince and make plans sooner or later."
Pang Tong said: "Follow your orders."
After the three people discussed it, Huang Zhong gave Gao Peng 10,000 light cavalry, and he led 40,000 cavalry to go out first to attack Yangquan County in Lujiang County. Gao Peng and Pang Tong led 10,000 light cavalry all the way south, at the fastest speed.
Heading towards Shucheng, you will not stop wherever you pass.
At the same time, in Longkang County in Runan, Gao Lin and his five thousand Dragon Scale Army were gearing up. Everyone was checking their weapons and armor. Gao Lin even shuttled through the military camp, interacting with his subordinates.
greeting.
After inspecting a circle of the camp, Gao Lin gathered all five people, Ma Dai, Gan Xiaoning, Zhang Xiong, Guo Huai, and Zang Ai, and said to the five people: "Since the establishment of our Dragon Scale Army, there has never been any
Defeat, whether it is Xiqiang,
Xianbei, Xiongnu, Wusun and all other countries in the Western Regions, wherever my Dragon Scale Army goes, they are all frightened by the news. This time, we are about to fight Soochow. You all must show your courage and come out in the shortest possible time.
Time will destroy the enemy."
"No!" Ma Dai, Gan Xiaoning, Zhang Xiong, Guo Huai, and Zang Ai replied in unison.
"I've had enough food today, and set up camp tonight, with the goal of Shouchun. Tomorrow morning, I will see the Chinese flag hanging on the tower of Shouchun City, as well as the flag of our Dragon Scale Army." Gao Lin was confident.
said.
After hearing this, Ma Dai, Gan Xiaoning, Zhang Xiong, Guo Huai, and Zang Ai were all stunned for a moment, and then asked in unison: "Generalissimo, have you received the imperial edict to go on the expedition?"
Gao Lin shook his head and said: "The general is outside, so military orders are not accepted. What's more, I am the marshal of the world's troops and horses. I can mobilize any troops and horses. If we have to wait until the imperial edict is transmitted here, I am afraid it will be delayed.
It will delay the opportunity to fight. You don’t need to worry, the emperor’s decree is just for us to send troops, it’s just a matter of time."
Ma Dai, Gan Xiaoning, Zhang Xiong, Guo Huai, and Zang Ai obeyed Gao Lin's words, so they didn't ask any more questions and left one after another to appease their respective camps.
In the evening, the magistrate of Longkang County personally brought wine and meat, which Gao Lin accepted unceremoniously. Then the Longlin Army began to cook rice. After the soldiers had eaten and drank enough, it was already getting late.
At dusk, the sky and earth were gray. It was also after this death that Gao Lin asked the Dragon Scale Army to set up camp, and then began to run quickly, letting the forward battalion captain Ma Dai clear the way, followed closely by the left guard
Among the soldiers and horses of the battalion commander Guo Huai, Gao Lin and the middle military commander Zhang Xiong are in the middle, followed by the right guard battalion commander Gan Xiaoning and the rear military commander Zang Ai.
The Dragon Scale Army has 5,000 cavalry and 10,000 war horses. Each person rides one and leads one so that they can change horses back and forth in the middle. Each of them wears a very fine dragon scale armor and carries one on his back.
They were holding bows and arrows, steel knives and crossbows hanging from their waists, and a long spear in their hands. On the back of another war horse, they carried dry food and arrows for each of them, and they marched toward Shouchun in a mighty way.
Go.
Shortly after Gao Lin and others left, Guo Jia arrived with the imperial edict. When he learned from Longkang County Magistrate that Gao Lin had left, Guo Jia frowned and couldn't help but exclaimed: "This is nonsense!"
Afterwards, Guo Jia took several personal followers, changed horses, and then chased Gao Lin closely.
The Dragon Scale Army galloped along the official road heading south at night. When they encountered a fork in the road, Gao Lin asked his scouts to investigate. After finding out the road to Shouchun, they continued on the road. There were no signs of trouble along the way.
Change the horses when stopping, and change them every fifty miles, so that the horses will not tire out.
At ordinary times, Gao Lin led the Dragon Scale Army to reach the border of Shouchun. Due to the long-term alliance between the two countries, Shouchun City has become a relatively concentrated commercial center. Merchant exchanges are very frequent, and people traveling from south to north.
Merchants are also right
This city has made a lot of contributions. It is for this reason that the garrison in Shouchun is relatively small. Because the national defense forces of Wu are basically deployed along the Yangtze River, most of the county towns in Jiujiang County and Lujiang County.
There are only a few guards.
After the war between the Huaxia Kingdom and the Wu Kingdom broke out, almost everyone in the world knew about it, but Gao Fei diverted the trouble eastward last time, blocking everyone's opinions, and the people in Huaxia also called for unification very loudly.
They are all paying close attention to this war.
As a buffer zone between the Huaxia Kingdom and the Wu Kingdom, Shouchun City will inevitably become a focus of contention. Although Shouchun City currently belongs to the Wu Kingdom, after today, it may belong to the Huaxia Kingdom.
On the tower of Shouchun City, the soldiers of Wu State saw the billowing dust rising outside. Looking from a distance, they saw the Chinese cavalry coming out of the morning mist. They were immediately surprised and hurriedly reported to their superiors.
When the commander of the camp heard the soldiers' report, he rushed to the top of the city to take a look. Sure enough, he saw the Chinese cavalry coming in force. So the commander of the camp hurried to report to the guard.
When the guard heard that more than 10,000 Chinese cavalrymen were coming, he immediately ordered without saying a word: "Quickly, take down the flag of Wu and put up the flag of Huaxia."
After giving the instructions, the guard personally led his people to open the city gate, and then lined up outside the city gate, preparing to welcome Gao Lin and others.
Gao Lin was already in the lead at this time, followed closely by Ma Dai, Gan Xiaoning, Zhang Xiong, Guo Huai, and Zang Ai. The five battalions of soldiers and horses were united and lined up in a line. It looked like the lineup was much larger.
When he saw the sudden change of flag on Shouchun City and even the city gates being opened, he sneered and said contemptuously: "Wu is nothing more than that. It seems that today we are going to take this city without any blood. Hahaha...
…”
Even Ma Dai, Gan Xiaoning, Zhang Xiong, Guo Huai, and Zang Ai thought so. However, Gao Lin's laughter was still lingering in the air. Suddenly, he saw a wave of cavalry coming from the southeast. The leader looked very excited.
Majesty, it seems to give people a feeling of power without anger.
When the guard saw that Wu's cavalry had also arrived, he hurriedly ordered people to retreat into the city again, shouting loudly: "Reinforcements are coming, reinforcements are coming..."
"Bang!"
The city gate was tightly closed again, and the guard hurriedly asked someone to replace the Wu flag again, and then put away the Chinese flag.
The defender's repeated remarks made Gao Lin feel extremely unhappy, but seeing the menacing force of the opponent, with the number of cavalry not less than 20,000, he hurriedly reined in his horses, raised his hand, and stopped the advance of the dragon scale army behind him.
Gao Lin took a careful look at the person opposite and asked, "Who is that person?"
The soldiers in the Dragon Scale Army were all selected from various armies. It happened that there was a captain in the army who was originally stationed in the south. He took a closer look and hurriedly said to Gao Lin: "Report to the Generalissimo, the enemy is leading the troops."
This person is one of the founding heroes of the Wu Kingdom, his surname is Zu and his last name is Mao."
"Zu Mao is an old man. Who is going to take his head to show the power of our country?" Gao Lin asked.
