The Three Kingdoms

The No.14 Army's beating drum sounded one after another, as if waves were rising in the sky of the entire Jicheng City. After hearing the sound, the chief generals of the various divisions outside the city quickly appeared in the camp of the Chinese Army .

"We want to capture Longyou!"

Standing at the top, Meng Huo pointed to the marching map on the screen at the back, then looked at the generals, and directly stated his strategic purpose: "But we still have to hold back the stable Wei army, and this battle must be within our Before the reinforcements enter Jicheng, start the battle first!"

"Take Longyou?"

"Now Zhang Ren's troops occupy the land of Longyou, and the troops under his command are not weak!"

"Based on the strength of our No.14 Army, we are already a little weak against An Ding and Longyou. Now we have to block An Ding and attack Longyou. Can we do it?"

"In this way, the troops are scattered, it's too dangerous!"

"The terrain in Longyou County is very complicated, and it is inconvenient to march. Moreover, the Wei army is leaning against the Qiang tribe. The Qiang tribe and the Wei army have always been on good terms. If the Qiang people suddenly send troops to support us, we may be in danger!"

"It's better to wait!"

"..."

When the generals heard the words, they took a peek at each other. They were not confident enough to face the current situation.

"This is a military order personally issued by the theater command. A military order is a military order. We have no room for negotiation. If the theater command says to fight, we have to fight. If we can win Longyou, we will fight, and if we can't win, we will fight!"

Meng Huo's eyes became sharp, and he swept across the faces, looking at the faces, as if the sound of the Honglu bell seemed to explode in the camp.

As the saying goes, do as the Romans do.

It hasn't been a day or two since these Southern barbarian generals have entered the Wu army's system. Meng Huo has the deepest experience of the four words of military order like a mountain. Perhaps the difference between the Wu army and the Southern barbarian army lies in these four words.

The military orders issued by Wu Jun during the war cannot be questioned. Only obey the orders. Any dissatisfaction can be reported after the war. However, during the war, those who do not respect the military orders will be executed.

"promise!"

All the generals trembled when they heard the words, and stood up one by one, standing upright to show their posture.

"Okay, now I will announce the battle plan!"

Meng Huo glanced around at the generals, feeling a little relieved in his heart. He was still very satisfied with the attitude shown by these southern barbarian generals.

In the past, because most of the Nanman tribes were born in the mountains, they were a bit wild, and among all the generals, there was always a lot of resistance to the military orders passed down from their superiors.

It was a situation that made him very uneasy.

Now the entire Nanman tribe has basically integrated into the Wu people. The tribesmen walked out of the mountains one by one, built cities, opened up farmland, and raised chickens, ducks, pigs and fish. They lived a good life.

However, Meng Huo knew very well that this kind of good life was built on the bloody struggle of these soldiers.

Therefore, when he captured Xiabian, he did not hesitate to pay the price and the lives of soldiers.

It's not because he is loyal to Wu, but because he believes that only by letting his warriors pay, can his people live a good life.

If the soldiers from these tribes have any resentment towards the Great Wu court in their hearts, it will naturally lead to conflicts in the future, and even one side will be out of control, and in the end it will only affect the lives of these tribesmen.

Once it reaches the worst point, or if the Nanman tribe rebels again, the consequences can be imagined. They don't even have a retreat from the mountains, and they will be wiped out directly.

In other words, there is no way out in these good days, and they can only surrender under the Great Wu Zhan Banner forever.

However, perhaps because of the First Battle of Xiabian, the generals from these tribes now have a lot of heart for the Great Wu court, which is also a result he is happy to see.

"Golden ring with three knots!" Meng Huo shouted.

"exist!"

The burly warrior immediately stood up.

"The No. 40 Fourth Division is now stationed in Xiangwu County. This is the closest soldier to Didao City. Now I order you to return to the barracks immediately. Within three days, pull out the camp and go north to attack the Wei army in Shouyang County. After going down to Shouyang, directly approach the city and go down to Di Dao City!"

Meng Huo pointed to the marching map and said in detail: "The main force of the Wei army in Didao City is also the target of this battle. Try to lure them out. I will lead the main force and arrive later."

"promise!"

Jin Huan Sanjie, the commander of the No.40 Fourth Division, took the order and left.

"Bring it!" Meng Huo looked at his brother-in-law.

"exist!"

"The No. 40 Fifth Division must push all the soldiers and horses under Lintao County within five days. There are only more than 3000 soldiers and horses in Lintao County. You can take Lintao County and capture the eastern part of Longyou within ten days. I want to seize half of Longyou's territory in the shortest possible time, and catch Zhang Ren by surprise!"

Meng Huo said firmly.

He knew that the reinforcements were about to go north, and he was not afraid of Hanyang's flickering. Now that soldiers are expensive, he needs to gain more advantages for the Wu army before the decisive battle. Longyou is the biggest advantage.

"promise!"

The commander of the No. 40 Fifth Division came and heard the news, and immediately took orders to leave.

"All obey orders and prepare for battle immediately. All soldiers, prepare for the expedition. Once the military order is issued, there will be no delay. If there is any disobedience, it will be dealt with by military law!"

"Yes!" The generals accepted the order solemnly.

"Husband, where is Jicheng?" Mrs. Zhu Rong asked.

"Let the No.30 Third Division guard it!"

Meng Huo narrowed his eyes slightly: "The four divisions of our No. 14 Army attacked with all their strength, and the attack on Longyou was the top priority. Didn't the military order of the headquarters say that the No. 15 Army had already started to move north? If we can reach Jicheng, the No.30 Third Division can defend it!"

--------------------------

three days later.

Longyou County, Didao City.

The main force of Zhang Ren's army and horses of the Wei Army came out of the Jishi Mountain in the Cizhi River and entered Longyou County, and finally stationed here to counter the Wei Army of Hanyang County with Longyou County.

"what?"

On this day, Zhang Ren suddenly heard the scout's report, and looked a little surprised: "Wu Jun actually sent troops to attack my Shouyang County. When did this happen?"

"Last night, there was a fierce attack overnight. In the early morning of this morning, the county magistrate of Shouyang County couldn't stop it, and the whole city surrendered!" the scout reported.

"The storm is coming, it seems that the spring has just entered, and Wu Jun can't sit still!"

Zhang Ren took a deep breath and calmed down. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a cold flame in his eyes: "It takes three days to capture Shouyang City, and at most two days, you can reach the city. Wu Jun actually wants to fight fast. Before the main force goes northward, attacking our land in Longyou, you will be beyond your limits!"

He is not afraid of the main force of the No.14 army.

"General, shall we send troops to counterattack now?" a lieutenant asked.
