Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 115 Bloody Battle at Gepo IV

In the early morning, a ray of mild sunlight refracted down, dispelling the thick fog that shrouded the earth.

On the south bank of Rushui River.

In the Nanyang military camp.

In the camp of the Chinese army, all the generals of Nanyang were present, but they all lowered their heads, and the atmosphere was a little gloomy. Some generals were ashamed, some were stained with blood, and there was a faint sound around the tent. The sound of the wailing of wounded soldiers.

"Damn yellow scarf!"

Captain Huang Meng was injured. A sharp arrow pierced through his armor and entered his lower abdomen. Although the injury was not serious, it gave him a sense of shame and shame. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying: "I must avenge this revenge!"

Last night's night raid failed.

The Yellow Turban Army had been prepared for a long time, but he still jumped in carelessly. The casualties of the county soldiers he was proud of were nearly five hundred men, one sixth of which was lost. .

"Captain Huang, I suggest that we withdraw our troops for now!"

Liu Jin cupped his hands and said.

He has the power to oversee the army, so what he said was very serious, not a suggestion, but an order.

"Why?" Huang Meng's eyes were gloomy, and he looked at Liu Jin. Liu Jin was provoking his dignity in the army, which made him a little displeased, so he said coldly: "Soldiers are expensive, you don't know ?"

"Captain, although I don't go to the battlefield, I am familiar with military books. When fighting on the battlefield, one must pay attention to one's strength, and once the momentum is like a tiger, it will be exhausted again and again, and it will decline three times. Now we have been attacking for several days, but it is difficult to advance. There are quite a few, and morale is getting lower and lower, how can we attack them!"

Liu Jin looked at Huang Meng, without any fear, and talked freely.

Although he is only familiar with the art of war and not good at handling soldiers, he can see the situation very clearly. The current situation is like this. The Nanyang Army has no ability to break through Rushui at all, unless...

Liu Jin squinted at the silent Mu Shan.

Unless the troops under Mu Shan's command can be mobilized, there may be a chance to break Ru Shui's interception.

"Moreover!"

Liu Jin pointed at the generals, and said: "Nowadays, many of their soldiers have been injured, and their combat effectiveness is much weaker. If they attack by force, they will just push the tower and die!"

"Your Majesty's words are true!"

"My lord, please have mercy!"

A group of county lieutenants bowed their heads and begged Huang Meng.

"Pass my military order, sign up to avoid war, and withdraw troops for three days!"

Huang Meng's face was livid, but he said helplessly.

"As ordered!"

The generals breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly bowed to accept the order.

……

After half an hour.

Wuyin Barracks.

Mu Shan opened the curtain of the camp tent, walked in with strides, and then asked the left and right guards to take off the armor on his body, and then said: "Go and invite Mr. Jiang!"

"promise!"

Jiang Lu, a personal guard who quickly went to serve as a military adviser, invited him to the big tent.

"Master Mu is back so soon?" Jiang Lu walked in and asked a little strangely: "Don't you need to watch the battle?"

"They have withdrawn their troops, and they will not fight for three days!"

Mu Shan sat cross-legged in the middle, took a sip of water, and then said: "This is Liu Juncheng's suggestion. Our captain probably won't be able to fight anymore, and all the county captains have no intention of fighting anymore at this moment!"

"It seems that there are still some sensible people in the Nanyang Army!"

Jiang Lu smiled and said, "The casualties in the battle last night were not small!"

"It's mainly the county soldiers!" Mu Shan said, "There are only three thousand county soldiers, but five hundred are lost. This Huang Meng is going to die of heartache!"

"With so many casualties, it stands to reason that Huang Meng should do his best. How could he withdraw his troops!"

"He can't do it if he doesn't withdraw troops. Liu Jin doesn't want to be a person who only manages logistics. I suspect that he has the task of supervising the war, and even has the power to temporarily replace the army!"

Mushan has a wide-ranging personality and disdains conspiracy and tricks, but he is a person who is not confused about small things and big things. In the past, he was sheltered by Zhang Mancheng and could be a warrior who charged into battle. Now he is the coach of Nanyang Yellow Turban, and he is responsible for the lives and deaths of countless people. , also began to grow up continuously, and his mind became more and more delicate.

"Liu Jin, although I have never met him, is somewhat famous!"

Jiang Lu narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "He is a student of Yingchuan, a fellow student of Zhang Zi, and he is also from a poor family, but he has made friends with many noble families, and his reputation spread far and wide. After being conscripted by Zhang Zi, he became the governor of Nanyang County , the undercurrent in Nanyang County is surging, there are disasters left by the yellow scarves inside, thieves are frequent, there are Jingzhou aristocratic families looking down on it outside, and some people around are peeping at it, fish and dragons are mixed, and forces are intertwined. Zhang Zi can't control this situation at all. , That's why I enlisted this person, this person is indeed quite talented, he assists Zhang Zi, appeases the counties, his organization is clear, and the city is quite deep, so don't underestimate him!"

"Do you think he will use a soldier from a certain family?"

Mu Shan was a little worried.

"Definitely!" Jiang Ludao: "He's not Huang Meng. Huang Meng abandoned the Mu Shuai because the Mu Shuai's skill is so high that he can't suppress you anymore, but Liu Jin, he's different. All he wants is He doesn't care about who will be in charge of the army, the achievement of defeating the Yellow Turban Army!"

"Then how should someone deal with it?"

"Hiding can't be avoided, and now that the county soldiers have suffered a great loss, it is also the time when the Shepherd establishes his prestige and wins people's hearts. If he can win a battle, it will definitely increase the influence of the Shepherd in the Nanyang Army!"

There was a hint of darkness in Jiang Lu's eyes: "It's just that I'm still worried about one thing now!"

"What's the matter?"

"The Yellow Turban Army is hidden, there must be a plan!" Jiang Lu spread out the map: "Master Mu looked carefully, although the location here is very good, but it is difficult to enter and exit, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but also difficult to enter and exit As long as we encircle this place, even if they accumulate more food, they will not be able to support it sooner or later. After all, the daily consumption of tens of thousands of people is an unbelievable number. In the end, they must break out, so if they The battle has started, and it stands to reason that when the food and grass are sufficient, the battle should be resolved quickly, and there should be no delay, but now, it is obvious that they are delaying time, not us!"

"Could they be waiting for Huang Shao and He Man to join forces in the south?"

Mu Shan thought of a possibility, said.

"It's not impossible!" Jiang Lu thought for a while, and said, "But there are Yingchuan Army in the north, and Xuzhou Army from the east. They may not dare to go south, and even if you dare, I don't think it's that simple. !"

"It's not that simple?"

Mu Shan pondered for a while, but couldn't think of anything: "But their military strength has already been laid out on the surface, so what else can they rely on!"

"I'm afraid that some unexpected soldiers will come out!" Jiang Ludao: "The information on the battlefield is ever-changing, and anything is possible!"

"let me think again!"

Mu Shanzai carefully looked at the map of Runan, looked at the route from the north to the south, and simulated once, twice, three times... Countless possibilities in his mind, but in the end he still didn't have much clue.

"Report to the master!" A general of the guard battalion walked in.

"Say!"

"General Thunder Tiger is back!"

"Let him come to see me immediately!" Although Mu Shan was calm on the surface, he was a little anxious in his heart, anxious to know how his son who was leading a battalion alone for the first time was doing.

"promise!"

After the personal soldiers went down, it didn't take long for a young man who was busy with travel and dust to walk in.

"The last general, Lei Hu, pay homage to the leader!"

"The scene is wonderful!"

"Commander Shaoqu has already captured Dingying, and is preparing to capture several cities to the west. His soldiers and horses are heading north, approaching the land of Ruyang in the north, and are fighting with Huang Shao's Yellow Turban Army!"

"He advances very fast!"

Mu Shan heaved a sigh of relief. With the Jingping camp to the north, he was relieved that he would not end up in a situation where he was being attacked. He thought about it and asked again: "Does he have anything to say?"

"Have!"

"Say!"

"Shaoqu Commander ordered that it is absolutely impossible for the head of the family to hide their strengths and bide their time. They need to shine brightly. In any case, to gain the greatest share of credit, it is best to kill the leader of the thief in Gongdu Liu Pi himself, and shock the world!"

"Why?"

"Shao Qu Shuai didn't say anything, he just said that the success of being a master is related to the future of all of us!"

"This kid doesn't say a word, he wants to kill his father!"

Mu Shan said angrily.
