Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1678 The Battle of Shangdang VII

On the border between Shangdang and Hedong.

A group of soldiers and horses are marching rapidly. The general at the head is a strong man with a beard. He holds a zhangba snake spear in his hand, is dressed in battle armor, and his horse is dark and majestic. Standing in the army formation , mighty as a tiger.

This person is Zhang Fei.

And this army was brought out from Hedong by him.

In order to bring the main force out of Hedong, he spent a lot of thought and paid a lot of money. The [-] soldiers who died basically couldn't come back.

"Where is the front?"

Zhang Fei's deep voice sounded.

"Report to the three generals, Liang Langdu is ahead!"

The captain of the scout battalion reported, "This is the ferry crossing between Shangdang and Henan. As long as you cross Lianglangdu, you will go north to Shangdang and south to Henan.

"It's getting dark soon, the order is coming down, and the camp is resting at the ferry ahead!"

"promise!"

The soldiers and horses went to the ferry, found a suitable place, stopped temporarily, and got up to rest.

Zhang Fei summoned the generals of the school lieutenant level, and in a tent that had been temporarily built, they began to discuss the next marching route.

"General, we can actually change our strategy!"

A school lieutenant pointed to the map and said, "At this moment, going south suddenly will also catch the Ming army by surprise. If you can break Luoyang and occupy Luoyang, it means that the Ming army will be cut off from the rear. If you cooperate with the king's main force, it is possible to take the Ming army. The main force of the army was buried on the battlefield of Shangdang Hanoi!"

Hearing this, Zhang Fei's heart trembled a little.

There was no military order for him to go north, but he would not accept military orders abroad. He mainly went south, with the goal of attacking Luoyang and harassing the main logistics line of the Ming army.

Going south at this time is just returning to the main battlefield, and there is nothing wrong with it.

But he subconsciously looked at Pang Tong.

Zhang Fei is a bit arrogant and has a slightly violent temper. He has always had a bad attitude towards his subordinates, but he respects scholars, especially those who are capable.

Pang Tong is a capable military adviser, he knows this very well, so he will respect Pang Tong, even if Pang Tong is powerless.

"Three generals!"

On Pang Tong's strange face, there was an indifferent smile, but with such a smile on his face, he looked a little ferocious. He cupped his hands and said, "Let's not talk about whether we have a chance to take down Luoyang, even if we can take down Luoyang Yang, can we defend Luoyang? It’s not that we underestimate ourselves, but we can’t think highly of ourselves. If the Ming army returns to help, we will be the first to die, and the Ming army’s logistics line may not necessarily rely on Luoyang!”

After some analysis, he came to a conclusion and said: "I think it's irrational to attack Luoyang at this time, and we managed to shake off the tail behind. That's because they thought we entered Henan, but didn't pursue it. Being too relaxed has its own problems!"

He sighed and said: "So I think, at this time, I, we still attack Shangdang, and we are not in a hurry to attack Luoyang. But if we can attack the main force of the Ming army in Shangdang this time, and defeat this part The main force, you don’t need to defend the city, you can just turn the defense into an offense, why take such a risk!”

"What Shi Yuan said makes sense!"

Zhang Fei thought for a while, but still obeyed Pang Tong's words, and continued to march northward to Shangdang according to the original plan.

"We are already far away from the eldest son city. We will rest tonight and break out camp early tomorrow morning. Within five days, we must arrive at the eldest son city!"

Zhang Fei said firmly.

"promise!"

The generals nodded.

"Three generals, we can still hide the news because everyone thinks that we are either in Hedong or Henan, but paper can't cover fire. Once we don't show up in Henan, the Ming army will react quickly. At that time, our raid will become meaningless!"

Pang Tong said: "On the battlefield, soldiers are more expensive than speed!"

"Soldiers are expensive and fast?"

Hearing this, Zhang Fei was a little hesitant, but his emotions quickly settled down. He said in a low voice: "It makes sense. At this time, the speed of soldiers is very important. In this way, Shi Yuan, your commander-in-chief will follow behind. I will lead a group of troops first." The main force of the battalion, those who are on the road day and night, in just three days, we will be able to enter the battlefield of the eldest son city, and then directly send them the first wave of attack, and then entangle them!"

"feasible!"

Pang Tong nodded in response.

............................................................

Under the eldest son.

At this moment, Zhang Liao didn't know that the main force of the Yan army in Hedong had left Hedong, and he didn't even enter Henan for a sneak attack as planned, but went straight to Shangdang.

At this moment, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the offensive and defensive battle of the eldest son city.

He sat on the built-up viewing platform, staring intently at the front, where a brutal war was erupting under the city ahead.

"kill!"

The commander of the war was Lei Hu, a general of the First Army of the Sun and Moon. He took the lead and personally led the troops to attack the city.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

Faced with the general's madness, the soldiers also became crazy, attacking the eldest son's city wall one after another, trying to break through this city wall.

However, the war lasted for two full days, but it was still unable to break through the city.

Lei Hu, on the other hand, was a little exhausted.

"As expected of being the number one general in Hebei, it's really tough!" Lei Hu commanded the soldiers in the center, watching his soldiers attack and be cut down, watching the soldiers of the Yan army, although they were also exhausted, but Still able to stick to his position, feeling a little gloomy in his heart.

It's not that he looks down on Ju Yi, it's just that he always thinks that the back wave pushes the front wave, and the front wave dies on the beach. He regards Ju Yi as one of his goals, but it is not so easy to surpass him.

"Ming Jin withdraws troops!"

In the end, Lei Hu didn't continue the fight, and started fighting overnight. Although the Ming army had an advantage in the ability to fight at night, under this geographical environment, they didn't have much advantage, so they withdrew their troops first.

"Finally back!"

On the top of the city, watching the soldiers of the Ming army recede like a tidal wave, Ju Yi's heavy body finally shook slightly.

He gritted his teeth, his eyes were burning and killing.

The desire to kill the main general of the Ming army became more and more ferocious. The more they fought, the more they could feel how terrifying this Ming army was.

Although he defended the eldest son city, the more he fought, the more fear he felt.

Because he always felt that the Ming army did not explode with absolute strength, and he even suspected that what he saw was only seen by the Ming army.

The Ming army may not be unable to attack the eldest son city, but they are only dragging it as long as they can.

"General, our battle losses are getting bigger and bigger!"

The Confucian robe worn by the judge was also stained with blood. He looked at the wounded soldiers on the city wall and frowned slightly.

The rhythm is messed up.

Originally, they would take the initiative to control the rhythm of the defense, but after the war started, they were unknowingly affected by the attack outside the city.

Under this influence, that is, their battle loss data is getting bigger and bigger.

"Someone knows!"

Ju Yi stared at the city, looking at the conspicuous figure in the receding waves: "I always thought that Zhang Liao was going to face off in this battle, but what I didn't expect was that Lei Hu, Lei Hu, didn't make any detours. It has been so ferocious all the time, and what we are fighting is a war of attrition, if this continues, we will not be able to bear it!"

Casualties did not happen overnight, but accumulated bit by bit, more and more, resulting in less and less troops and weakening of his combat effectiveness.

"I know Lei Hu, but I don't know enough!"

Shen Pei gritted his teeth and said: "This person is good at attacking, and his methods are fierce and even barbaric. He is good at using up the main force of the enemy army during the attack. He just wants to use up our main force like this!"

"If you want to deal with him, you must either avoid the aura and fight in a roundabout way, or you must be more fierce than him!"

"If you want to be more fierce than him, maybe the general can fight in person, but there is also a great risk. Once he takes the momentum, we will be defeated!"

Trials are in constant analysis.

"What I want is not an analysis, but an opinion!" Ju Yi screamed desperately.

He couldn't bear to fight like this.

He gritted his teeth and asked the judge: "If we attack early, can we break his momentum!"

On the battlefield, momentum is very important.

The stronger the momentum, the higher the morale.

Hearing this, the judge squeezed his temples, closed his eyes, and pondered for a while, before giving an opinion to Ju Yi: "I think that if you attack too early, it won't have any impact, and you will still lose in the end! "

The strategic deployment of taking the initiative to attack is a last-ditch strategy that will be used when the city cannot be defended. If it can be defended, he still wants to delay it.

Only by dragging on can there be news of reinforcements.

As long as reinforcements come, they will have a chance to escape, and they can even fight back directly.

..............................

into the night.

Outside the city, Ming army tents.

Under the reflection of each brazier, the barracks was like daytime. In the silence, there was a bit of noise, and these noises were the wailing sounds of soldiers.

Under the great battle, there were many wounded soldiers. The wounded barracks of the Ming army were already full of people, and the doctors and apprentices in the army were constantly treating the wounds.

Zhang Liao personally inspected the wounded soldiers' battalion. He looked at the wounded soldiers with gloomy eyes and a heavy heart: "How are the casualties today?"

"I have to say that my casualties are quite a lot, but compared with the Yan army, it is slightly better!" Pound's battle armor is also stained with blood. He is also a general who has just come down from the battlefield, but the situation on the left wing he is in charge of is not good. It was relatively relaxed, not as desperate as Lei Hu, and he personally answered Zhang Liao's words: "Currently the number of casualties has not been fully counted, but it is not optimistic!"

"Where's Thunder Tiger?"

"Still treating the wound!"

"Go and see."

They opened the tent and walked into a separate small tent.

At this time, while treating Lei Hu's wound, a military doctor started nagging: "General Lei, I have already told you that you should not use too much force on your internal injuries. If you burst out with force today, your internal organs will be damaged twice. Injuries, repeated injuries, and injuries will form some hidden injuries. At that time, whether you take medicine or other things, there is no way to clean up this kind of hidden injuries. The hidden injuries of generals, in later years, with When the blood energy drops and the strength collapses, you will be unable to hold it down, and it will cause problems for your body!"

When Lei Hu heard this, he said helplessly: "Why don't I want to rest, but people can't help themselves in the battlefield, and my sons trust me, how can I let them down!"

This is Lei Hu, with the style of a general, charging into battle, invincible, unmatched, but commanding in the center, but lacking in meditation.

"General Lei, you are such a disobedient patient, you are really a difficult and miscellaneous disease in our military medical camp. Next time an internal injury breaks out, don't let our military medical camp treat you!" up.

Only then did Zhang Liao walk in, looking at four large and small wounds on Lei Hu's body, one was scratched by an arrow, the other was scratched by a spear that broke through the armor on his chest, and the other two were on his arms. , slightly injured.

These are all trauma, and it is not difficult to heal the trauma, and the Ming court is developing more and more medically. For disinfection, even if penicillin has not been developed, there are many good methods for suppressing inflammation.

Therefore, it is not a big problem if the external injury is well maintained, but the internal injury is the key.

Zhang Liao said solemnly: "General Lei, why do you have to fight so hard? Let's change generals tomorrow!"

Although he wanted to rely on Leihu to break through the defense of the eldest son city, he couldn't bet on Leihu's life, Leihu was not an ordinary soldier, he was Mujing's brother and confidant.

"General, on the battlefield, how can you give up halfway!"

Lei Hu stood up, gestured to his strong body, then cupped his hands and said: "I can suppress my own strength in the past few days. As long as there is no internal injury, it is not a big problem. I will still focus on attacking tomorrow, and I must follow the original plan." , After exhausting the Yan army, we will have a chance to break into the city!"

The strategic deployment has already come out, and at this time, it cannot be changed.

"Hey!"

Zhang Liao sighed, a little helpless: "You have a good rest, tomorrow will still be your master, but the premise is that you are not allowed to take the lead. In addition, the Sun and Moon First Army and Zhaoming Second Army have switched offensive and defensive positions!"

"why?"

"The First Sun and Moon Army is already too exhausted, let Pang De go up, attack from the front, force Ju Yi to leave the battle, and have a chance to break through the city!"

"Yes!"

Lei Hu looked at Pound, gritted his teeth, and finally nodded.

Pang De's martial arts are still above him.

His main attack may be better and more ferocious than his injured self. As long as he still holds the initiative, he will still control this battle.

Every general has his own command style, and under his style, the Yan army will not be suspicious.

"General, General Minwu is back!"

A guard came over and said.

"Go to the camp!"

Zhang Liao's eyes lit up, and he said quickly, "Lei Hu, take a good rest and recharge your batteries!"

"Yes!"

Lei Hu nodded.

Zhang Liao quickly returned to the middle camp. In the main tent of the middle camp, Min Wu's burly body stood upright, and the fierce light in his eyes did not dissipate.

"Min Wu!"

Zhang Liao walked in, saw Min Wu, and immediately greeted him.

"General!"

"How's the situation?" Zhang Liao asked.

"not optimistic!"

Min Wu shook his head: "Although we were harassing in the north, the Yan army didn't seem to care about us at all. I even tried to attack, but in the end I still didn't get a response. I didn't have enough troops to continue attacking, so I withdrew! "
