Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1690 Battle of Shangdang Nineteen
In the morning, the sun shines on the earth.

Standing on the messy battlefield everywhere, Min Wu's figure was shrouded in sunlight, and he also blended into the messy battlefield.

A glint of shame flickered in his pupils.

After a night of hard fighting, the Ming army was defeated in the end.

The camp of Zhaoming's third army was breached. Because the defenses on the left and right sides were insufficient, the raid was too sudden and there was no way to organize the defense line.

Therefore, in order to reduce casualties, they had no choice but to let go of their own line of defense, and the main force of the Yan army had already paid a huge price to break through this line of defense.

Now the main force of the Yan army has broken through Antelope Mountain and is heading straight for the eldest son city.

Based on the distance between Antelope Mountain and the eldest son city, it may not take half a day to arrive at the eldest son city. The current situation of the eldest son city is still somewhat unclear.

So Min Wu also called in his heart.

"General, the scouts discovered that after the Yan army broke through our line of defense, they temporarily set up camp fifteen miles to the north of us to rest!"

Scout to report.

"Continue to investigate!"

"Yes!"

Min Wu's general Ling Mu came over and bowed his hands in salute.

After many years in the Ming Dynasty, etiquette may not be so easy to accept, but he has learned enough military etiquette in the army, because military etiquette is related to the rules.

The military is the place where classes are clearly defined, because military orders are like mountains, and there must be clear and clear communication between superiors and subordinates.

"General, the Burning Camp suffered a lot of casualties, the Shenlang Camp also suffered casualties, and the other camps suffered less casualties, but we lost more than [-] soldiers and over [-] wounded soldiers, at least one-third of our combat power was lost! "

Ling Mu said bitterly: "Since the establishment of the Zhaoming Third Army, there have been very few casualties like this!"

"In His Majesty's words, we have fought too many smooth battles these years, so it's too drifting!" Min Wuping's expression made it impossible to see his emotions, his eyes were sharp, and he was determined. Looking ahead, he said solemnly: "This head-on blow can be regarded as waking us up!"

What he said was right. The Ming army had been invincible and invincible over the years. He used Xi Liang Erlang to establish the Zhaoming Third Army under the command of the Privy Council. It was also a team with strong combat effectiveness and outstanding results.

From Xiliang to the north, they fought all the way, without fear of anyone, with strong military strength and strong combat effectiveness, even within the Ming army system, they were all outstanding.

Therefore, when confronting the enemy, it is somewhat too proud, but on the battlefield, any emotion will lead to being used by others.

The Yan army took advantage of Min Wu's pride. Min Wu always believed that the Yan army would not dare to fight at night or in the rain, but they did.

This led to Min Wu's defeat.

But now is not the time for him to be depressed. He must regain his strength and not affect the battlefield of the entire eldest son city because of him.

He shouted in a low voice: "Hanfengdian!"

"exist!"

"Go to Zhongying yourself and see how the situation in the eldest son city is!"

"Yes!"

"The rest of the ministries should quickly rest and clean up the battlefield. The wounded battalion must take good care of the wounded soldiers, and ensure that every warrior we can come down from the battlefield can live!"

"Yes!"

At this time, Yue Ang, the captain of the White Horse Camp, came over. After bowing his hands and saluting, he said to Min Wu: "General, the general sent someone to contact you just now. The eldest son city has been taken, and another thing!"

"Take it?"

Before he finished speaking, Min Wu's eyes lit up and he interrupted directly.

Just when he was about to send someone to inquire about the situation, the news came. In this way, he is not considered to be dereliction of duty. He took a deep breath, calmed down, and was about to say something.

But Yue Ang continued: "In addition, the general has secret orders!"

"secret order?"

"it's here!"

"Take out the secret order first next time!" Min Wu said angrily, "This is the key, okay?"

Yue Ang smiled wryly, it's not that I don't want to take it, it's because you reacted too quickly.

At the beginning, the Baima tribe surrendered to the Shenlang tribe and sent Min Wu to the position of the Qiang king. Min Wu brought the Xiqiang tribe back to the Ming court. At that time, not many people from the Baima tribe favored this decision.

Therefore, there were not a few people in the White Horse Department who rebelled against the leader Yue Ang, but Yue Ang was restrained.

Like Min Wu, he grew up in the world of the Han people.

So they are more Chinese.

But this is not the reason why they surrendered. They surrendered because they saw the wild vision of life. The Xiqiang people cannot live like this forever. They surrendered to the Ming court and used the power of the Ming court to make their own civilization progress. This is the future. up.

In the past two years, Minwu Yueang has been working together to promote the Sinicization of the Xiqiang tribe, simulating the culture and life of the Han people. For example, they no longer need the future tribe when there is no food, and they no longer need to put their family home in their later years. The old man stayed on the plateau to die.

This is why they are willing to always be driven by the Ming court.

And Yue Ang also admired Min Wu more and more. Min Wu was able to lead the Xiqiang tribe on an unprecedented path, which his father, Yue Hu, could not do.

When the life of the ethnic group gets better and better, the voice of opposition within the ethnic group becomes weaker and weaker.

Now Min Wu's control over the various tribes of the Western Qiang has reached an absolute level, and the support of Yue Ang, the leader of his White Horse tribe, is indispensable for this.

Now on Jishi Mountain, everyone knows that Yue Ang is the number one dog under Min Wu's subordinates.

……

Min Wu opened the secret order and looked at it. It was a simple military order, but it made him a little confused: "Let go?"

Min Wu was silent for a while, then handed the secret order to Yue Ang, and asked: "Yue Ang, what do you think the general is planning?"

"It's not clear yet!"

Yue Ang said: "I definitely want to eat Zhang Fei!"

"But after our army captures the eldest son city, there will be damage, and it is not easy to eat them when we are exhausted. In the end, our casualties may increase!"

Min Wu said in a low voice.

From a strategic point of view, it is more beneficial to expel Zhang Fei's force than to eat it, because forcibly eating it will cause Zhang Fei's tens of thousands of soldiers to backlash.

Under such a backlash, even if the Ming army ate it, it would suffer heavy casualties, which is not conducive to encircling and suppressing Guan Yu's main force in Hanoi.

Relatively speaking, besieging Guan Yu is more important than besieging Zhang Fei.

However, Min Wu didn't go into details about these strategic deployments. He just wanted to know what Zhang Wenyuan's confidence was in besieging and killing Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei is not Ju Yi. Ju Yi's troops are too small, even if he relies on the eldest son city, he can't make a big deal. Moreover, Zhang Fei has the real elite main force of the Yan army.

It's too bad to fight.

As one of the top generals of the Ming army, Zhang Liao is one of the few commanders in the Ming army, and he is also the best commanding talent in the Ming army. He must have the confidence to do so.

"General, no matter what the general thinks now, since the military order has arrived, we still have to cooperate!"

Yue Ang cupped his hands and said.

"That's right!"

Min Wu nodded and said: "Yue Ang, the combat power of the White Horse Battalion has been greatly reduced. You lead the elite, and in the name of the general of the Zhaoming Third Army, lead the main force of the last two battalions, gather [-] elites, and advance northward. Approaching Zhang Feiying, don't fight, just hang on!"

"Ok!"

Yue Ang nodded.

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

At noon, Min Wu encountered a vanguard army coming from the west.

"Second Sun and Moon Army?"

Min Wu looked at the flag, his eyes flickered.

"At the end of the day, the general will break the zero, Lieutenant of the Fourth Battalion of the Second Sun and Moon Army, meet General Minwu Zhonglang!"

This is a young warrior from Wuxi Man.

"Captain Poling?"

Min Wu thought for a while: "I remember you, you once fought against the warriors under my command, and you were defeated by Yue Ang!"

The Second Sun and Moon Army, formerly known as the Wuxi Battalion.

General Zhonglang is the barbarian king of the Wuxi Man, and Shamoke is a mighty general. In terms of combat effectiveness, he is almost no less than himself.

Moreover, the Wuximan, like the Xiqiang tribe, were aliens who integrated into the Ming court, so they felt a little sympathetic to each other. Shamoke was a bold general.

Min Wu once fought against him, but the outcome was tied. The soldiers under him also fought once. This young man named Po Ling was defeated by Yue Ang.

"Zhonglang will have a good memory!"

Po Ling's eyes flickered, and there was a strong fighting spirit. After losing a game, he had a deep memory of that young Qiang general who looked a bit gentle, but he didn't expect such a strong fighting power.

"Isn't the Second Sun and Moon Army in the east of the river?"

"Report to General Minwu Zhonglang, after we were tricked by the Yan army, my general was furious, gathered the main force, and rushed day and night, entering Shangdang from Hedong!"

Po Ling cupped his hands and said: "I am the vanguard. I used to have [-] vanguard cavalry under my command. First come to inquire about the news and see how the battle is going. Then go back and report and prepare to attack from where!"

"Samoke is not slow to respond!"

Min Wu smiled, it was not an accident that Sha Moke was tricked, the Yan army should have a very capable adviser, so that they could make repeated arrangements and get out of their battle situation.

However, Sha Moke can react so quickly and let the Sun and Moon Second Army pursue him, which can be regarded as a super-capable general.

"Come on!"

"exist!"

"Hand over the recent battle records to Lieutenant Po Ling!" Min Wu asked for the battlefield records to be handed over, in order to let the Second Sun and Moon Army understand the battle situation.

In addition, he also asked: "Lieutenant Po Ling, logically I am not qualified to let your Sun and Moon Second Army fight this battle, but I have an idea and suggestion, you go back and tell General Shamoke, see Is he willing to cooperate in fighting a battle!"

The defeat in this battle made Min Wu a little uncomfortable. Min Wu had to turn the tables. If it was only the main force of Zhaoming's third army, it would not be enough to defeat Zhang Fei.

However, with the main force of the Second Sun and Moon Army, it was enough to block Zhang Fei's arrangement on the western front. Once Zhang Fei fell into a tight siege, he would definitely break through from the west.

At this time, as long as the western front is blocked, he will have no chance to fly into the sky.

"Please enlighten me, General!"

Po Ling didn't respond, but he would pass this idea back in detail, because this is something that can only be decided by Samoco.

Min Wu wrote down his thoughts and practices, and then handed them to Colonel Po Ling in a sealed form.

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

The midday sun was very strong.

Some distance away from the eldest son city, less than ten miles away from Lingyang Mountain, on a hillside plain beside a river, the Ming Army Zhaoming Second Army is resting.

Pound was looking at the marching map.

The surrounding terrain is much more complicated.

This also made the next battle a little more complicated.

"General!"

Cheng Gongying walked in.

"Say!"

"The news just came back that the Yan army has broken through the defense line of Minwu's Zhaoming Third Army, walked out of Antelope Mountain, marched north, and passed us. They have entered the outer western suburbs of Changzi City. The eldest son city is not far away, if they wish, they can come to the city in the afternoon!"

"Min Wu reacted fast enough, and he released the water quickly!"

Pound laughed.

"It's not letting the water go, it's really defeated!"

Cheng Gongying replied: "The general's military order should have come to Min Wu at this time, but Min Wu was defeated last night!"

"It's rare for someone as vicious and cautious as Min Wu to be breached!" Pang De's face became serious: "Is Zhang Yide really so scary?"

Among the Yan army, Zhang Fei's reputation was somewhat powerful, but Pang De didn't take it seriously, but Min Wu was defeated, so he had to be careful.

Both the Zhaoming Second Army and the Zhaoming Third Army came from Xiliang, and their fighting power was equal. In terms of viciousness, the Zhaoming Third Army was stronger, but in terms of battle formation, the Zhaoming Second Army was naturally stronger.

But Min Wu is not an easy person to deal with. He is fierce, cautious, good at fighting, and good at planning. He can be regarded as the number one figure in the Ming army.

"It should be General Min Wu who underestimated the enemy!"

Cheng Gongying said: "Otherwise, with Zhang Fei's main combat power, it would not be so easy to break through the Antelope Mountain defense line. We have been fighting smoothly for these years. If we continue like this, we must be a little proud, but on the battlefield , but can accommodate these!"

"Just learn from it!"

Pound nodded. He took a deep breath and said, "Order the main force of the second, third, fourth and third battalions of our army to reinforce the third army from the side and fly!"

He looked ahead, his eyes filled with murderous intent, solemnly: "No matter what, since the general wants to fight, we must keep Zhang Yide!"

"Yes!"

Cheng Gongying nodded.

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

eldest son city.

Zhang Liao had already led the main force back to the eldest son city to rest and wait for the opportunity to encircle and suppress Zhang Fei's troops.

But Zhang Fei's department is not easy to fight.

He needs to be laid out slowly.

"Zhang Fei broke through the defense line of Antelope Mountain?"

Zhang Liao was unexpected: "A certain family was still thinking about how to let him in, but I didn't expect that he walked in by himself. It doesn't matter if he walks in, it will save me a lot of effort!"

"General, is our department attacking?" Lei Hu asked.

"Just play tricks, just defend the west city!" Zhang Liao shook his head.

"promise!"

"Mr. Shen, do you think someone can win this battle!" Zhang Liao asked Shen Pei suddenly.

The examiner walks with the army, like a hostage, but since he asked, he also responded: "Zhang Fei, it is impossible to escape!"
