Chapter 1016 Borrowing troops to counterattack

Shi Bao's brain, that's really very flexible.

And in these years, the brains of the alien race are relatively straightforward and simple.

Therefore, after Shi Bao figured out the actual needs of Wuxi Man and Wu Ximan's attitude towards Soochow, his mind became lively.

Shi Bao began to ponder how to incite the Wuxi barbarians to lend troops to him, so that he could have enough troops to kill him back to Wuling.

In fact, the current Wuling County is basically no different from not being defended.

Zhou Yu has already led his troops to attack Jiangling, and the main army of Eastern Wu has also moved forward, and Lu Dai, a difficult guy, has now gone to Gong'an City to defend it, and in Wuling County, there is only one Lu Yi and one Lu Kai, leading a total of less than 5,000 troops to garrison.

Among them, Lü Kai led 2,000 troops to garrison Lingyang, and Lü Ju led 3,000 troops to garrison Wuling County, and was responsible for coordinating the deployment of grain and grass logistics provided to the front line by the four counties of Jingnan.

This opportunity is really good.

And in Shi Bao's hands, there are still more than 2,500 Dahan County soldiers and troops, if he can borrow 10,000 soldiers and horses from Wuxi Man. It is not impossible to go back to Wuling County and cut off the supply of grain and grass to the Dongwu Army on the front line.

And once the supply of grain and grass provided by the four counties of Jingnan to the front line of Jiangling was cut off, the main army of Eastern Wu could not stay under Jiangling City for a long time.

To this end, Shi Bao began his own work of lobbying Wuximan.

On the one hand, Shi Bao is indeed eloquent and quick-witted, and he can always find a suitable reason to convince the leader of the Wuxi Barbarian tribe.

On the other hand, the long stone buds are really good-looking.

To a certain extent, this is an era of looking at faces, even in the realm of different races, what a handsome person says and what an ugly person says is not the same level of trust.

In addition, Shi Bao was also open-minded, he actually agreed to the marriage request of the largest tribe leader in Wuximan, and the matter of accepting the daughter of this tribe leader as a concubine is unthinkable in this era.

After the accumulation of foreign wars during the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, to put it mildly, today's Han people are superior to others, and they don't look down on the so-called barbarians at all.

If the Huns because of their influence and achievements in the early years, the Han people can barely treat the Huns as people, then what Nanban, Shanyue, Wuhuan. In the eyes of most Han people, they are not even human.

It is basically the same as that of animals.

It can be seen from this that Shi Bao is willing to accept a Wuxi barbarian girl as a concubine, what kind of sacrifice has he made.

Well, though, but in fact, Shi Bud is quite happy, after all, this Wuxi barbarian girl is actually quite good-looking when she grows up, except that her skin is a little darker.

Stone buds. understands everything, as long as it is a beauty, he really doesn't care much about other statuses.

Or else his reputation in this era can be so stinky?!

And it is precisely because of this that Shi Bao won the support of the largest Wuxi Man leaders in Wuling County, and under his leadership, Shi Bao was able to lobby within Wuxi Man to persuade these Wuxi Man leaders to lend troops to him.

Of course, just lobbying is not enough.

Wuxi Man is the name of an ethnic group, in fact, they all have their own tribes, and each tribe has different demands.

It's not a problem to be friendly to the Han army, and it's okay to hope that the Han government will come back. But if they want to lend troops to the Han people, and let their own people work for the Han people, it is not possible to do it at some cost.

To this end, Shi Bud threw out his second killer feature.

Shi Bao promised these tribal leaders of Wuxi that after capturing Wuling County and seizing the military rations of the Eastern Wu Army, he could give priority to letting these tribal leaders take the food they needed.

As long as you have enough manpower to move those military rations, then you can move as much as you can, and Shibao will not stop you.

This condition is enough to make all the tribal leaders of Wuxi Man shine green.

Wuxi really doesn't want much, they just want enough food to keep their people alive. In the past, there was no way, they couldn't plant and they didn't have the conditions to plant, but now that they have ready-made food for them, who wouldn't want to take a little more.

Therefore, Shi Bao originally thought that it would be good if he could borrow about 10,000 troops, but in just half a month, these Wuxi Barbarian leaders forcibly made up 20,000 people for Shi Bao.

Of course, there are only about seven or eight thousand people who can really go to the battlefield as soldiers, and the rest are some people who are waiting to carry food after the war, even the elderly, women, and children have come together.

Shi Bao suddenly couldn't cry or laugh. Going to war with such a bunch of things, can it really end well?!

However, time waits for no one.

Shi Bao didn't have enough time to wait for more Wuxi Man to send him soldiers, he had to send troops as soon as possible to counterattack Wuling County. If he hesitates any longer, when the Eastern Wu army captures Jiangling, then no matter what he does in Jingnan, it will be meaningless.

In this way, Shi Bao took more than 2,000 soldiers from his headquarters, plus seven or eight thousand barbarian soldiers from Wuxi Man, and walked out of Wuling County again, and the first goal was to counterattack Lingyang County.

Capture Lingyang County and cut off the connection between Wuling County and the public security and other places first, so that it is possible for him to make the next move.

And Lu Kai, the defender of Lingyang County, was directly caught off guard.

To a certain extent, Zhou Yu's worries are really right, the second generation of Dongwu's generals, there are really few successful tools.

At least Lu Dai's son, Lu Kai, is not the kind of person who has enough ability and courage.

If it is forgivable that Lu Kai did not expect Shi Bao to be able to kill from the mountains and forests of Wuling County, then after so many days, Lu Kai has not strengthened and repaired the city defense of Lingyang County, which is purely incompetent.

At the beginning, Zhou Yu and Lu Dai successively led troops to besiege Lingyang, and Shi Bao defended it with 5,000 troops. In the end, when Shibao broke through, the city wall of Lingyang County was already quite dilapidated.

After Shibao broke through, Lu Dai didn't have time to stay to repair the city wall, so he handed over Lingyang to Lu Kai and went directly to the public security following Zhou Yu's steps. But for nearly a month, Lu Kai has not effectively repaired the Lingyang City Wall.

Shi Bao was far away, and after seeing the city wall that was still so dilapidated, he was a little incredulous.

Originally, Shi Bud thought that he was going to take a group of barbarians who were not good at attacking the city and fight hard to fight the city, but he didn't expect it. Sure enough, God wants to help him Shibud achieve earth-shattering achievements.

As the original defender of Lingyang County, who else can understand the weaknesses of Lingyang County's city defense better than Shi Bao?!

Following his memory, he moved to the weakest place in the city defense of Lingyang County, and Shi Bao used more than 2,000 county soldiers under his command as the arrows to attack the fortification, supplemented by brute soldiers to create momentum. In one fell swoop, he climbed to the top of the city of Lingyang County, and at the same time, after a battle that was not too fierce, the city gate was opened.

Lingyang City, as simple as that, was broken by Shi Bao.

On the one hand, Shi Bao has enough understanding of the damage of the Lingyang City Wall and knows where it is suitable to attack, and on the other hand, it is indeed Lu Kai who is too wasteful, not only did he not repair the defense of the city wall in time, but even the command of the battle was hesitant and procrastinated.

In the final analysis, in fact, Lu Kai didn't expect that the current Lingyang City could still be attacked by the enemy.

And after the city was broken, Lu Kai once again made quite a bad coping mistake.

He did not choose to retreat in the direction of Wuling County to remind Lu Yi in Wuling County to strengthen his defenses, but chose to flee for his life in the direction of Gong'an City in the north and flee to find his own father for refuge.

And when Lu Dai learned about the changes in Lingyang County in the rear, he couldn't wait to directly slap his stupid son to death.

What is there to inform Lao Tzu here, the grain in Wuling County is the most important existence. Really, it is just that this son is really biological, otherwise Lu Dai would have ordered military law to do it a long time ago.

But the matter has come to this point, and Lu Dai can't help it.

On the one hand, he hurriedly wrote a military newspaper to report this matter to the generals on the front line, and on the other hand, he hurriedly informed Cheng Shi, who was guarding at the public security ferry, to lead the troops back to guard the public security, and he took 3,000 soldiers to return to Wuling County immediately.

Lu Dai has done his best to make up for the mistakes made by his son.

But the question is, can Shi Bao obediently stay in Lingyang County and wait for Lu Dai to come to attack?!

Obviously, even Lu Dai didn't dare to have such extravagant hopes, if he was Shi Bao, he would definitely march in a hurry now to attack Wuling County.

The only thing Lu Dai can pray for now is that Lu Yineng, who is guarding Lingyang County, is a little vigilant and doesn't let Shibao take advantage of it.

At this time, Shi Bao had already led the troops on the way to attack Wuling County.

After capturing Lingyang County, Shi Bao didn't stay in Lingyang County for even a quarter of an hour at all, he directly ordered that the eight hundred soldiers under his command change into the military uniforms of the Eastern Wu Army, and under the banner of the Eastern Wu Army, he personally led the army and went straight to Wuling County.

And Shi Bao's purpose is to pretend to be Lu Kai's defeated army, to deceive the city gate of Wuling County, capture Wuling County, and completely control the grain and grass of the Eastern Wu army here.

As long as there is not enough supply of grain and grass, then the Eastern Wu army wants to conquer Jiangling, which is a fool's dream.

And he, Shi Bao, will inevitably become famous in the first battle and become known to the world, and his achievements are just around the corner.
