Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 366 Sending troops to Jingbei
Although Zhu Wei agreed to let Mulan lead the army to fight this time, he still repeatedly warned her not to act recklessly, and to fight with the specialty of light cavalry.

This inevitably made Mulan feel a little long-winded, but as long as he could lead troops to fight, Mulan was already very satisfied.

Now that Teng Yuyan raised the issue of the cavalry, Zhu Wei also officially promulgated the military order. Mu Lan and Teng Yuyan officially took the order and prepared to lead the cavalry to fight against Nanyang County.

After solving the question raised by Teng Yuyan, Gan Ning also asked Jiangjiao Camp about the specific dispatch of troops, such as how many river boats and warships to use this time. After he contacted Wei Yan from Chanling County, the two Who is the main one and so on.

Naturally, Wang Yuyan had already prepared these beforehand, so she also explained one by one to Gan Ning. Of course, the specific things will be formally transmitted to Gan Ning's Jiangjiao Camp and Wei Yan's Jingnan Camp in the form of military orders. Gan Ning knew what to say.

Of course, Teng Huxiong also asked how many auxiliary soldiers needed to be transferred from the rear army, and their approximate age groups, which were basically within the scope of his responsibility.

Anyway, all doubts were roughly resolved at this military meeting, so the next step is to prepare for the war.

In May of 197 AD, Marquis Qian Tang, General Jingnan, and Zhu Wei, the governor of Jingzhou, blatantly attacked Nanjun and Nanyang under Liu Biao's control in the name of Liu Biao and the rebel Yuan Shu who had formed an alliance and conspired. The county sent troops.

Zhu Wei claimed to have 20 troops here, and the army will be divided into three parts to attack Nanjun, which will inevitably make the world's heroes look sideways.

Nowadays, there are actually still wars going on all over the world. In the north, Yuan Shao is fighting Gongsun Zan, Cao Cao is also fighting Yuan Shu in Chen State, which is close to Xudu, and Lu Bu and Liu Bei are fighting against snakes in Xuzhou. It is the never-ending war for territory between the warlords in the Guanzhong area.

However, Zhu Wei's dispatch of troops to Jingbei this time is the most eye-catching battle among local warlords at this stage of time.

After all, Liu Biao of Jingzhou can be regarded as a hero among the lords of the world today. He is in Jingzhou and controls tens of thousands of troops. Strong local princes will definitely be a head-to-head duel.

Once Zhu Wei defeats Liu Biao, it means that Zhu Wei, an emerging force, will replace Liu Biao and become a more aggressive southern hero than Liu Biao.

However, in the eyes of the heroes of the world, Liu Biao is not really a big threat. In Cao Cao's mouth, Liu Biao is just a drunken person, not a hero. In Guo Jia's mouth, Liu Biao is just a chatterbox. It can be seen that Liu Biao was originally a little Strength, but it is not very threatening to the outside world, so there is no need to worry about him growing up.

But Zhu Wei was different. Ever since Zhu Wei Hengkong was born, his territory had expanded several times in the blink of an eye. If Zhu Wei occupied Jingzhou, it would definitely be something that would make the surrounding heroes fearful.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shu next to Jingzhou were the ones who paid the most attention to this battle.

If Zhu Wei and Liu Biao were to lose both, it might be time for them to take advantage of the situation. Otherwise, when Zhu Wei digested Jingzhou, or Liu Biao counterattacked Zhu Wei's territory, it would not be a good thing for them.

Of course, when Zhu Wei issued his call to crusade against Liu Biao, Zhu Wei's army had already dispatched to Jingbei.

According to Wang Yuyan's military strategy arrangement, when Zhu Wei issued his campaign against Liu Biao, Zhu Wei had already taken a boat from Poyang and headed for Nanjun with more than 5 elite soldiers and [-] auxiliary soldiers.

About two days later, Zhu Wei gathered the [-] soldiers of the Divine Arrow Battalion prepared by Tai Shici at the water village of Guishexia, and continued to go up the river, turning from the Yangtze River to the Hanshui River on the Shaxian side. Go to Xiangyang.

Most of this waterway is within the territory of Jiangxia County, so there are no obstacles, but the ships of Zhu Wei's army are almost full of the Han River, and it is inevitable for the people in the villages and counties on both sides of the Han River to look forward to it. Surprised in my heart, another big thing is about to happen.

After all, the official proclamation is not something ordinary people like them can know. By the time they know it, it is basically the time when the battle broke out in their homeland.

At this time, Zhu Wei's army has actually been divided into several parts, each of which acted according to the prior plan.

Mu Lan and Teng Yuyan brought [-] Qingqi into Sui County of Nanyang County from Jiangxia's official road, and made preparations to attack Sui County in order to attract the attention of Liu Biao, Xinye Wenpin, and Wancheng Zhangxiu.

However, Gan Ning led [-] troops from the Jiangjiao Battalion to divide the warships in Shaxian to the direction of Chibi, and soon attracted the attention of Jiangling Cai Mao's navy.

Of course, the Weiyan Jingnan Battalion in Chanling County also dispatched soldiers, horses and warships, and made a move to prepare for Jiangling. The boats belonging to the Jingnan Battalion were constantly traveling on the Yangtze River, and they seemed to be surrounding Jiangling Cai Mao. The water village moved.

On the front of Zhu Wei's main force, Ling Cao and Xing Daorong led the [-] Xiongba Battalion soldiers as the vanguard, exploring the way to find a suitable place to camp, and at the same time checking the army information on Liu Biao's side.

Then there are the remaining [-] troops of Pang Yan's Xiongba Battalion and the [-] troops of Tai Shici's Shenjian Battalion, alternately walking on the Han River and on the land on both sides. The two armies are not only on the Han River by boat Going upstream, they also sent people to march on the north and south banks of the Han River to prevent Liu Biao's army from ambush on both sides of the Han River.

After traveling for a certain distance, they changed the soldiers on land and water, so that the soldiers on land could board the boat to rest and recover their physical strength, which seemed to be orderly.

In the end, Zhu Wei's central army of [-] soldiers and [-] auxiliary soldiers filled the Hanshui River in a mighty boat, and followed the front army slowly. The ship carried a large number of siege and battle equipment prepared by the Yuzhang Craftsman Workshop.

The attack on Nanjun this time will definitely lead to many battles with Liu Biao, especially Liu Biao's base camp, Xiangyang City, which has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. It is definitely a big city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so Zhu Wei must have a corresponding The siege equipment is ready.

This city of Xiangyang got its name because it is located in the Yang of the Xiangshui River. The Han River passes through the city and divides Xiangyang City into two parts, the north and the south. The south bank is the main city of Xiangyang, and the north bank is Fancheng. In a corner-by-corner situation, they can support and cooperate with each other.

Therefore, Xiangyang in a broad sense is actually composed of two cities, the main city of Xiangyang and Fancheng. If Zhu Wei attacked Xiangyang, he would have to face the two adjacent cities across the Han River.

It's just that the main city of Xiangyang is surrounded by water on three sides and surrounded by mountains on one side, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. What's more, there is Fancheng on the northwest side of Xiangyang, which can send troops condescendingly to assist Xiangyang at any time.

So this battle will never be easy...
