The Yangtze River waterway.

From Wuxian City to Yiling, 300 miles of water and land, from the river to both banks, the Yizhou army has more than 40 camps, battalions and camps, one after another, one by one, the flags flutter in the wind, it looks like a giant dragon circling.

Wushan.

This is where the main camp of the Dongzhou Army is located.

The main account of the Chinese army, all the generals gathered.

Now the Yizhou Army is headed by the general Zhang Ren, and the main general of the Bajun Army, Yan Yan, is the deputy general, commanding 100,000 main forces, and the troops are stationed here.

At this moment, Yan Yan was a little depressed.

He raised an objection: "General Zhang Ren, are we really not attacking Wuling?" ”

Before the beginning of the year, they discussed and prepared to change the strategy of attacking Jingzhou, dispatch Bajun soldiers to confront Yiling, let go of the main force of the Dongzhou army, and press all on Wuling, and seize Wuling County first.

The state pastoral government has approved this plan, and sent people to Hanzhong to contact, hoping that the Hanzhong pastoral army will cooperate.

And so they began to prepare.

Soldiers and horses were transferred repeatedly, camps were changed frequently, and even marched in the cold wind and light snow, in order to prepare everything before the beginning of spring, and attack immediately once spring began.

"The lord sent a secret letter, we must gather the main force, leave Wuling alone, attack Yiling with all our might, we must break through the Yiling defense line as soon as possible, and then attack Nanjun!"

Zhang Ren's heart was not depressed.

He began to dispatch troops.

As long as an order is given, the main force of the Dongzhou Army will enter Wuling, there are not many soldiers and horses in Wuling, and if you want the main force of the Dongzhou Army, you only need enough time to take Wuling.

But the plan is not as good as the change.

The lord sent a secret letter back to all his plans.

"Why?"

Yan Yan was a little puzzled: "With our current battlefield situation, forcibly attacking Yiling will inevitably lose the troops and generals, the lord should be able to see it, and the change of the order will inevitably shake the morale of the army as far as the soldiers are concerned!" ”

"Not what the lord wants!"

Zhang Ren shook his head: "But there is a change in the north!" ”

"North?"

"The main force of the herdsman army is pouring south, and it has begun to attack Xiangyang!" Zhang Ren's eyes flashed with this faint light, and when he heard the news, he was also a little surprised, and he couldn't understand Minghou Mujing's thoughts.

But it is undeniable that this is great news for the Yizhou army.

"Is Minghou Mujing crazy?" Yan Yan also couldn't believe this: "As far as I know, he and our Yizhou are not of the same mind, the lord sent troops in order to let him, but it took a lot of effort, could it be that he was just deceiving us!" ”

"I'm also thinking about the thoughts of the Shepherd Dragon Map!"

Zhang Ren said in a low voice: "But the news is already true, and yesterday, the latest news came from the north, Mu Jing has already rushed to Fancheng in person, as soon as you enter Fancheng, immediately dispatch troops to attack Deng County, and break through Deng County overnight, and now they may have all been in Xiangyang City!" ”

"In this way, the desperate efforts of the herdsmen and the Jingzhou army have become a general trend!"

It was Yang Huai who spoke.

The main book of the Dongzhou Army, Zhang Ren is one of the deputy generals, born as a scholar, good at military strategy, and is very important to Liu Yan, and is one of the main generals of the Dongzhou Army.

"Preliminarily, the situation has been completed, they must be desperate, no matter what strategic deployment Mulongtu has, this cannot be denied, because at this point, even if he is willing to retreat, I am afraid that Liu Biao will not give up!"

Zhang Ren nodded, then shrugged his shoulders and said, "You can't say that he has colluded with Liu Biao to make a show for us, right?" “

"Impossible!"

"There is no doubt about it!"

"I don't think it's possible!"

The generals said one after another.

Mu Jing and Liu Biao have fought like this, Liu Biao has lost so many generals, and lost Fancheng and Deng County in a row, I am afraid that the hatred for Mu Jing is still above their Yizhou.

Besides, Mujing has no reason to ally with Jingzhou.

This is also not beneficial to Mujing.

"So the lord believes that the pastoral army is going to fight with the Jingzhou army, this is a great opportunity for my Yizhou, and it is the opportunity for my Yizhou to break the south county, so the lord has changed our strategic deployment!"

Zhang Ren said softly: "And there is another news, at the beginning of March, the lord has set off from Chengdu and rushed to the front line to join us!" ”

"The lord wants to conquer Jingzhou in person?"

The generals' eyes suddenly lit up.

It's a gesture.

Pro-conquest means a conquest that pours out of the nest, and it is also an attitude of self-confidence and invincibility.

"The lord is full of confidence in this battle, and the lord has mobilized most of our main forces in Yizhou, the Guanghan Zhang Su Department, the Sword Pavilion Pang Xi Department, all of them have been dispatched, and even the barbarian soldiers of Yonghong and Meng Shu in the south have been driven here!"

Zhang Ren nodded and said, "What we have to do is to open up the situation of Yiling as much as possible before the main force of the lord enters the battlefield!" ”

He stood up slowly, a pair of eyes burst out with a sharp and incomparable light, and his voice was loud: "This was originally a battle that belonged to our Yizhou and Jingzhou, but now the momentum of the herdsmen is as fierce as a tiger, and those who don't know still think that the herdsmen have declared war on Jingzhou, how can our Yizhou Erlang make people look down on it, the lord is coming, our Yizhou Erlang wants to let the world know, and also let the lord know that Yizhou is attacking!" ”

"But General Zhang, now the Jingzhou army on the Yiling side is strictly defending us, and we want to break through Yiling, even difficult!"

Yan Yan's face was heavy and he said in a low voice.

The right time, place and people.

The weather is not easy to calculate, but on the terrain they have lost three points.

Even if there is an advantage in troops.

But the fight must be a bloody battle, and that person's life to fight for a Yiling, in their opinion, is more or less uneconomical.

"The Jingzhou Navy is indeed powerful, on the Yangtze River waterway, we can't help them, but on the land route, we may not have a way to break the defense!"

Zhang Ren turned around, looked at the screen on the back, squinted slightly, his eyes flashed, pointed to one of the places, and said, "I have decided to sneak attack the pavilion!" ”

"Sneak attack on the pavilion?"

The generals looked at each other.

"Yiting is the rear wing of Yiling, and the Jingzhou army will not be without defense!" Yan Yan squinted.

"Of course they have defense!"

Zhang Ren nodded: "So the first thing we have to do is to let them put the main force in Yiling City!" ”

The entire Yiling defense line was very tightly guarded by the Jingzhou army.

Headed by Yiling, Yishan in the north, the battleship on the Yangtze River waterway is horizontally locked, the Yidao in the south, the Yiting in the rear, the whole defense is based on Yiling, and the vertical and horizontal are connected, one ring is linked to the other, and each other is the head and tail.

If you want to attack Yiting without alarming the main force of Yiling, you can either make a detour to Yishan, or take Yidao on the south bank of the Yangtze River first, but both sides are guarded by the Jingzhou army.

"What does General Zhang mean, we want to storm Yiling?"

Yan Yan seemed to understand Zhang Ren's thoughts, and said tentatively.

"Those who know me, Yan Taishou is also!"

A smile rose into the corner of Zhang Ren's mouth.

Partnering with Yan Yan, he feels very comfortable, Yan Yan is good at guarding, and he acts carefully, the most important thing is that he has a strategic vision and can go with him to see it, instead of every strategic deployment, he has to analyze it at length for half a day.

"Who's going to attack?" Someone asked.

"I'll go!"

One person stood up and bowed his hand.

"General Gao Pei?"

Zhang Ren didn't expect Gao Pei to come out and ask for help.

Among the several armies in Yizhou, the Yizhou Army and the Dongzhou Army are the most powerful, the Dongzhou Army is Liu Yan's lineage, and the Yizhou Army is the rebuilt deployment of soldiers and horses after Liu Yan defeated Jia Long.

Gao Pei was one of the main generals, leading 10,000 troops.

"General Zhang, Wuxian was defeated by the vanguard of Dongzhou, Zigui was attacked by the soldiers of Ba County, and our sons and daughters of the Yizhou Army have not yet seen blood, which is not conducive to the future war, this battle, when my Yizhou Army is the vanguard!"

Gao Pei said: "The matter of storming Yiling, my Yizhou army is willing to bear it!" ”

"Good!"

Zhang Ren was overjoyed and said: "The task of attacking Yiling will bother the generals of the Yizhou Army!" ”

"For Yizhou!"

Gao Pei and other generals of the Yizhou Army returned the salute and said.

Zhang Ren took a deep breath and began to say to the generals: "From now on, all departments will immediately prepare for war, the military order is like a mountain, it is irreversible, whether this battle can break the pavilion, please encourage you!" ”

"Encourage each other!"

The generals also cheered up.

It's finally time for war.
