Chapter 225 Going South
"Hey Brother Wolf, long time no see!" Outside the gate of Heishuisai City, the giant wolf with eye-catching hair was gently licking its paws, and Shang Ji greeted him excitedly.
The wolf king raised his wolf head and whined a few times at Shang Ji.
"Ha, Brother Wolf, I haven't seen you for such a long time. I don't know that you haven't made any progress? I've made a lot of progress!" Shang Ji trotted over, touching the Wolf King's chin affectionately.
Originally, Shang Ji planned to wipe his head, but unfortunately the wolf king is too big, unless Shang Ji jumped up, he couldn't reach his head. The only thing I can do is touch my chin.
The wolf king narrowed his eyes slightly, and let out low growls from his throat, obviously enjoying Shang Ji's touch.
"Brother Yu thought that my brother was exaggerating, but I didn't expect such a psychic beast to exist in the world!" Liu Yi was beside him in amazement.
"Come here, Brother Wolf, let me introduce you. This is my elder brother Liu Yi and Liu Zhongxiong, who is also a rare hero!" Shang Ji introduced to the Wolf King.
The wolf king took a look at Liu Yi, his nose moved slightly, and then nodded to Shang Ji, as if he had remembered Liu Yi.
"Brother Wolf, take your brother down to have a rest first, we will set off to the battlefield soon!" Shang Ji said to the Wolf King.
"Hong Zhuo, please help Brother Lang arrange it!" Shang Ji turned to Deng Yan again.
"Don't worry, brother, the wolf king will not be wronged."
"Wolf King, please, I have arranged a sumptuous meal for you to fill your stomachs!" Deng Yan said to the Wolf King with a smile.
After the wolf king led his men (wolves?) to leave with Deng Yan, Liu Meng saluted and said: "The last general is lucky enough to not disgrace his order, so I give the command to the master!"
"How is it? Is this trip going well?"
"Hey!" Liu Meng rubbed the back of his head and said with a smirk, "Except for encountering a few short-sighted little thieves on the road, there is no surprise. In addition, except that the wolf king agreed to accept the price of 20,000 sheep per month from the lord. In addition to the employment, the Wolf King also brought a hundred personal guards. The subordinates made their own claims and agreed to the employment price of one hundred sheep per wolf per month!"
"Well done!" Shang Ji praised.
Shang Ji, the wolf king's personal guard, also saw the wolves just now, all of them are extraordinary. From Shang Ji's point of view, most of them have the combat power of high-level generals.
One hundred sheep per month is more than ten gold coins at most, which is much cheaper than the military salary of senior generals.
Of course, a wolf is always a wolf, and its role is far worse than that of a normal high-level general, but the price is definitely not a loss.
"Hu Chen has also worked hard, hurry up and make some corrections, we will start again soon!" Liu Meng was running all the way, covered in dust, it was really necessary to make some repairs.
"The final general will leave!"
Two hours later, a large army left Heishuisai and headed south to Xiangping!
This time the team was quite large, with all the heavy armored swordsmen, wandering dragon bow cavalry, black armor black cavalry, wolf cavalry, and Dayan iron cavalry in the black water fortress dispatched. In addition, there are 10,000 elite cavalry and 10,000 long-shot and strong bows belonging to Liu Yi, with a total of 60,000 troops!
Except for heavy armored swordsmen and long-shot and strong bows, these troops are all out-and-out cavalry units with strong mobility.
And because the number of horses is extremely sufficient, heavy armored sword soldiers and long-shot strong bows are also horse infantry. Although they cannot fight on horseback like real cavalry, they are still more than enough for marching!
In this battle, Shang Ji's strategic plan is to fight mobile warfare. Relying on the strength of the soldiers in his hands, accurate and timely intelligence and other advantages, he hunted down the Xianbei army, so he did not bring any arms that would affect the marching speed.
As the two commanders of this army, Shang Ji and Liu Yi stood side by side, walking at the forefront of the team.
"My dear brother, Wangping City is ahead!" Liu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the faintly visible city wall of Wangping County in the distance.
Wangping is one of the eleven big cities in Liaodong County. The city wall is naturally much more magnificent than the small city of Wangquan. Here, there is a flat river, which can be vaguely seen more than ten miles away.
Shang Ji contacted Shengying and observed the situation in Wangping County again.
As before, there were no Xianbei enemy troops in Wangping City,
But the city gate is still closed and is on high alert.
Shang Ji nodded to Liu Yi, indicating that there was nothing unusual.
"Let's go to Wangping County!"
An army of 60,000 galloped past, and soon arrived near Wangping City.
The entire city fell into chaos immediately due to the arrival of the army, and the panic atmosphere could be clearly felt.
Seeing this, Liu Yi frowned, and shouted with luck: "I am the defense envoy of the counties in the northwest, Liu Yi, please come out and see the magistrate and county lieutenant of Ping County!"
The sky-shaking roar resounded through the sky, and the chaos in the city stopped immediately. It took a long time before a hanging basket was lowered from the city wall, and in the hanging basket was a young general.
The young general approached the army cautiously, and did not proceed boldly until he saw clearly that the army was indeed not like the Xianbei army. After a while, he ran up to the two of them and said happily, "The last general, Zhang Chong, met Liu Xiaowei, Shang Xiaowei!"
"Oh? You know me?" Shang Ji asked in surprise.
Zhang Chong showed reverence on his face, and said excitedly: "The prestige of the two captains is not known to anyone in Liaodong County!"
"It's better if it's like this, so you don't have to bother. General Zhang, please send a message. The two of us are asking to see Pingling and the county lieutenant to discuss the matter of supporting Xiangping."
"Two wait a moment, the last general will go pass it on!"
After speaking, Zhang Chong saluted and immediately got up and left quickly.
A moment later, the side door of the city gate opened, and a middle-aged general rushed away with hundreds of cavalry, followed by Zhang Chong.
The middle-aged general stopped at a distance of about 20 feet from the two of Shang Ji, cupped his hands in the distance and said, "I'm Li Yi, Tian is the county captain of Wangping County, and I've met you two!"
"I'm Liu Yi (Shang Ji), and I've seen Captain Li!" In terms of official positions, all three of them are school captains, and Li Yi is still a county captain in Dacheng, with a higher status. Very low, Shang Ji and the two of them are not the people who want to push their feet, so they immediately returned the courtesy politely.
"When the Xianbei invaded, the army was in turmoil, and Yi was a county captain, so she had to be careful, and I also invited the two Haihans!"
"Li County Lieutenant's words are serious. The county lieutenant is responsible for guarding the land. Why blame him? I wonder if Li County Lieutenant received the county guard's summoning order?" Liu Yi asked loudly.
Li Yi immediately showed shame when she heard the words, and said in embarrassment: "I am ashamed, I have indeed received the summoning order. Yi is a county guard, and the prefect is in danger, so she should help her with all her strength. However, Xianbei is watching outside the city, and Yi dare not leave The comfort of the people in the city is really in a dilemma now!"
Don't look at Li Yi's loyal and courageous appearance, everyone knows the actual situation, he is scared!
Without going out of the city, stick to the city, relying on Wangping City's solid defenses, the chances of the Xianbei army coming in are extremely low. But if you go out of the city to increase your staff, you may encounter a surprise attack from the Xianbei army at any time, and the danger will increase dramatically. Naturally, there is no need to say much about how to choose.
And Wang Tong's order of "overdue military law enforcement" is at most effective for players and some low-level military officers who have no background. Sitting tigers like Li Yi don't care much about Wang Tong's orders.
