Chapter 1713 The decisive battle of Mingyan has begun

three days later.

Huguan.

Up and down Huguan, Ming army flags fluttered for tens of miles, camps stood erect one after another, and the sound of drills was deafening, echoing on the top of the sky.

In Guancheng, above a large hall.

Mu Jing sat at the top.

The generals lined up left and right.

Kneeling below are the generals Zhang Liao Pang De Huang Shao Deng Xian.

At this time, Zhang Liao was reporting the battle situation of the previous few days.

In the Battle of Northern Hanoi, the Ming army first used provocative tactics to force Guan Yu to fight, and then besieged Guan Yu with cross-ambush tactics, consuming Guan Yu's combat effectiveness.

Finally hit the fatal blow.

There was a chance to kill Guan Yu.

But man is not as good as God.

The appearance of the Yan Army cavalry immediately tore up the tactics of the Ming Army. In the end, Guan Yu led the remnant soldiers to break out of the encirclement abruptly, and followed the Yan Army cavalry to kill Hanoi.

Although they defeated more than half of Guan Yu's main force in this battle, it is still a pity that they failed to succeed in the first battle.

And this Yan army cavalry also gave them a great impression.

For example, the chief general of the Yan Army's cavalry, the fierce general who dared to enter the Ming Army's middle camp alone and killed the Ming Army's formation with a silver gun in his hand, almost collapsed.

Zhao Yun.

This is a young military general, but he is extremely tough, and his combat power is no less than those decisive generals in today's world.

Of course, the failure of this battle was not due to Zhao Yun alone. The cavalry of the Yan Army went south in three days, and they were killed in less than two days. This also shows the elite cavalry of the Yan Army .

White Horse Yicong.

In the past, Gongsun Zan dominated Liaodong and became famous as a cavalry soldier outside the Great Wall. He also became famous in the battle against the Mu clan in the Kanto, but this time he was even more vicious.

Because of the appearance of this cavalry, Pound's Zhao Ming lost one-third of the main force of your second army, almost breaking the backbone of the second army.

………………

Mu Jing listened very carefully, and finally the corner of his mouth couldn't help but raised a bit, showing a cold smile: "That is to say, you lost to Zhao Zilong!"

White Horse and Silver Spear Zhao Zilong.

Historically, on Changbanpo, the brave general who entered seven times and exited seven times was also a loyal and unparalleled general who always won. He lived the longest among the five tiger generals and maintained the highest victory.

The world loves Zhao Zilong, and Mu Jing once admired him, but now he has become his enemy.

"In fact it is true!"

Zhang Liao clasped his hands and said, "Zhao Zilong traveled southward in the starry night without stopping. It took three days, but he finished it in just over a day. He would have to pay a high price for such a trip, and it was very risky, but he still did it. It shows that they have certain ideas about our tactical deployment. Many of us, including ourselves, think that Guan Yu will withdraw. There are really few people who can see my tactics so clearly, even my own. It may not be possible to predict Guan Yu's actions. However, Zhao Yun can feel that Guan Yu will be besieged by us. It can only show that he knows Guan Yu and has certain guesses about our tactical deployment. Can make him desperate, this person is definitely the enemy!"

This sentence is not only an affirmation of Zhao Yun's peerless force, but also an affirmation of Zhao Yun's military command and military strategy.

This person made Zhang Liao feel the crisis.

"Perhaps he was just asking for credit. After all, Guan Yu is a sworn brother to Liu Bei. He traveled southward without hesitating to take risks. He hoped to rescue Guan Yu and take credit for Liu Bei!"

Chen Gong stood at the side, frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "General Zhang, is he too high? Even if he can defeat the general's tactics, it may not be what he thinks!"

"Chen Shangshu, at any time, there is no fluke on the battlefield. If he did it and broke our tactics, then we have to treat him as the biggest enemy!"

Zhang Liao shook his head, his voice was low and firm: "I'd rather believe that Zhao Yun is a handsome man with a martial arts decision, super command ability, and strong tactical deployment ability, rather than being defeated by him on the battlefield for the second time." !"

That's right, Zhang Liao believed that this battle was his own defeat, whether it was a coincidence or not, anyway, Zhao Yun broke through his tactics and rescued Guan Yu, this is the fact.

He will not underestimate the strength of the enemy for his own honor, because he is not willing to lose a second time on the battlefield.

"All right!"

Mu Jing waved his hand and said, "Stand up and talk, don't kneel!"

"Yes!"

The generals just stood up.

Mu Jing stepped out of his seat, walked down, and looked at a newly built sand table, where the layout of the terrain was not yet very clear.

However, the terrain between Shangdang in Hanoi is already very clear.

He looked at the topography of Shangdang and said, "Besieging and killing Guan Yu is not considered a failure, it can only be considered as not being able to keep Guan Yu, it is a pity!"

There will not be many such opportunities. In the next battle, Guan Yu will be a sharp knife, and the Ming army will definitely pay some price.

Of course, Mu Jing didn't care too much. One person can't change the outcome of a decisive battle. At this point, it is very unlikely that Liu Bei can stop the main force of his Ming army.

However, Liu Bei still led the main force to go south, which shows that Liu Bei is very confident.

Where does his confidence come from? "

Is it just that Gongsun Du's main force came directly from Hulao Pass, threatening Luo Yang and cutting off Mujing's retreat?

If so, then he was wrong.

It is true that Luo Yang is very important, but let alone whether Gongsun Du can win Luo Yang, even if he can win Luo Yang, it will not affect the main battlefield.

The Ming army has a certain deployment on the grain road, and there are granaries in Hanoi. Even if there is a problem in Luoyang, there will be a problem in Guanzhong, Henan. The main force still has at least a month or two to relax.

During this period of time, it was enough for the Ming army to defeat the main force of the Yan army.

Once the main force of the Yan army is defeated, Gongsundu's troops in Henan will be like a lone army going deep, and will be eaten by the Ming army sooner or later.

This kind of division of troops is not very effective, at most it is a delayed tactical action.

……

"Next, we should think about how to fight the main force of the Yan army!" Mu Jing said in a low voice, with murderous intent concentrated, "Take out the Yan army as soon as possible, so as to alleviate the crisis we are currently facing!"

They hid the news of Luoyang as much as possible, and kept the whole army from knowing, otherwise it would cause some turmoil in the army.

Even if the Ming army is so elite, once the logistics are cut off, the morale of the army may not be stable.

After all, people have to eat.

As long as you don't eat for a day, you will be hungry and panic. If you can't eat, there will be mistakes in the firm morale of the army, and there may be turmoil at that time.

So it can be hidden, and Mujing does not plan to announce this news.

Only by solving the main force of the Yan army as soon as possible can they return to the division.

Xi Zhicai knew the news, he thought for a while, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, now that the main force of our army is gathered together, even in an upright decisive battle, we will have the upper hand. As long as we consume it slowly, the fighting spirit of the Yan army can be wiped out." , and then give them a fatal blow!"

This is an upright battle. Sometimes on the battlefield, there are not too many intrigues and tricks. When the Ming army puts out the war and advances in all directions like an iron barrel, then the Yan army can only fight against it. .

This is the best way to fight.

"Ke Zhicai, you know in your heart that we may not be able to survive better than them!" Mu Jing's voice was low and he sighed, no one knew what he was thinking.

In fact, he didn't even know what he was thinking.

Although he was a little worried about Luo Yang's matter, it was not the reason for shaking his tactical arrangements. More fear came from the unknown.

Like Wei Jun...

The more he couldn't figure it out, the more pressure was pressing on him, making him feel a little out of breath.

"Report!"

At this time, there was a report from outside.

"Enter!"

"Report to Your Majesty, report to the General, the news from the eldest son city, the main force of the Yan army has besieged the city, and at least 15 main forces have participated in the siege!"

"understood!"

Zhang Liao took a deep breath, waved his hands, and let the messenger go down.

He cupped his hands to Mu Jing and said, "Your Majesty, the main force of the Yan army went south and surrounded the eldest son city first. Although our army has a lot of troops in the eldest son city, it may not be able to stop it!"

He said gloomyly: "First, after our army has gone through the offensive and defensive battle with the eldest son city and the battle to besiege and kill Zhang Fei, although our army has not suffered much damage, it still needs to rest and recuperate. The recovery of combat power will not be so fast!"

"Secondly, the main force of the Yan army going south this time must be strong. If they dare to encircle the eldest son city, it means that they have a lot of siege equipment. Once their siege equipment can make them ignore the defense of the city wall, then this battle , the eldest son city is at a disadvantage!"

He still has another worry about the eldest son city, which is Ju Yi: "In addition, although Ju Yi has surrendered, the soldiers under his command may not be safe, and there may be opportunities for people to instigate rebellion. If internal and external attacks are combined, our army will If there is some turmoil, let alone whether it can be taken advantage of, even if it is defended, there will be heavy casualties!"

"Then you want reinforcements?" Mu Jing narrowed his eyes.

"The last general does not intend to reinforce!"

Zhang Liao shook his head: "Reinforcement at this time, not to mention whether it can break the siege of the Yan army, will trigger the desperate efforts of the Yan army and us!"

"Then what do you plan to do in your opinion?"

Mu Jing is very optimistic about Zhang Liao, in order to temper Zhang Liao step by step, he let Zhang Liao go to war these years.

Zhang Liao also performed very well and did not disappoint.

This is a person who can afford the position of coach of the Ming army.

"Your Majesty, I plan to surround him!"

Zhang Liao said firmly.

"Anti-siege?"

Mu Jing narrowed his eyes, and he asked, "How to reverse the encirclement?"

Zhang Liao came up, followed the marching route on the sand table, and said: "Eldest Son City is the center of the decisive battle between our Ming army and their Yan army. It cannot be moved here, but I believe that Leihu, Shamoke, Minwu and the others, even if They can't fight back, and they won't be able to break through the city wall, they can hold on for a while!"

"What we have to do is to semi-encircle the main force of the Yan army along the eastern front!"

Pointing to a terrain on the sand table, he said: "The main force of the Yan army is going south, and the logistics line is stretched. This is also our opportunity. They have cavalry, but we also have it!"

"Where is it?" Mu Jing curled his lips: "The Zhaoming cavalry is still in Guanzhong!"

"Your Majesty, the Divine Guard has cavalry!"

Ma Chao stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Although it is not as strong as the Zhaoming cavalry, in terms of elite, it is by no means inferior to the Renhe cavalry!"

"My heart is itching!"

Mu Jing raised his head, glanced at Ma Chao, and said, "Do you want to fight Yan General Zhao Yun?"

"Ha ha!"

Ma Chao smiled a little honestly, and backed away.

This thought is a little urgent.

Guan Yu and Huang Zhong are strong, but they will grow old eventually, and their physical strength will gradually decline. He is still young, in his prime, and will continue to improve, so he has never had the slightest fear.

But Zhao Yun, who has just emerged, is about the same age as him, but his combat power is already superior to him, how can he sit still.

"Give me peace of mind!"

Mu Jing said: "There is always a time when you will be given a chance!"

Zhao Yun beat Ma Chao?
That's a good idea.

The Xiliang horse was no worse than Zhao Zilong, but this Xiliang horse was too rebellious, so he had to be made more docile.

"Yes!"

Ma Chao was a little disappointed, but he also knew that as the commander of the Divine Guard, his duty was to protect Mujing, so he didn't take it too seriously.

"Wen Yuan, keep talking!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Liao nodded and said: "Actually, what General Ma said is reasonable. At present, there are some cavalry in each army, but they are not organized and their combat effectiveness is insufficient. Our elite cavalry is still in Henan Guanzhong, so there is no way to go into battle. Now the only cavalry What can be used is the cavalry of the Divine Guard!"

There is a battalion of cavalry in the Divine Guard Army. The equipment is elite, and the soldiers and horses are also elite soldiers. Moreover, under the training of Ma Chao, the cavalry general, their combat effectiveness is second to none.

If this battalion of cavalry can be effective, there is definitely hope that it can interrupt the logistics line of the Yan army.

"Our cavalry mainly plays a role in influencing the Yan army's logistics line and holding back the Yan army's cavalry!" Zhang Liao said: "The only thing I fear now is the Yan army's cavalry!"

The strategic layout has been planned early on, but now there are variables, Zhao Yun, this variable can be said to be huge.

For the sake of the overall situation, he had to control Zhao Yun's cavalry, at least to hold back Bai Ma Yicong, and not give them a chance to make trouble.

Only in this way can he have the opportunity to defeat the main force of the Yan army.

"Liu Bei is not a fool!"

Mu Jing thought for a while, and said: "He is fighting with me now, although I don't know where he got the confidence to bet his life with me, but at this moment, he won't care about his things, so his Cavalry, you may not be able to draw them out!"

"Because of this, we have to quote once!" Zhang Liao said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, now that the decisive battle has begun, the eldest son city has kicked off. The next battle will be difficult, but it may not be smooth. We still have to prepare for the worst!"

"I kind of understand what you mean!"

When Mu Jing heard this, his eyes flashed, and a gleam of light flashed in the depths of his eyes.

The unknown is the most terrifying.

So Zhang Liao wanted to test it out.

The more Liu Bei didn't dare to make a move, the more cunning he became. This only showed that he was preparing to hold back Mu Jing's main force, not the main force to fight.
