Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1724 Decisive Battle at Shangdang Eleven
"When will the northern cavalry return?" Mu Jing frowned slightly, and asked in a low voice.

"It's not good to say!"

Yue Shu shook his head and said, "Although Zhang Xiu has withdrawn his troops from the North, our cavalry is still entangled with the Xiongnu cavalry for a while. It is still unknown how much we can withdraw!"

"Hun!"

Mujing gritted his teeth.

Sooner or later, these alien races should be cleaned up, and they can't be too troublesome.

Sooner or later, the grassland will also belong to Daming.

"Order the cavalry in the north to rush back to Guanzhong as much as possible and enter the Luoyang defense battle. At this time, Luoyang is the most important thing to us!"

Mu Jing said: "It's really impossible, I can bear the loss of Liangzhou!"

Liangzhou and Xizhou belong to Liangzhou with the morale of the Han Dynasty. The population is small and the land is barren. Even if they are lost, the loss will not be great.

But if this battle is lost, it will take at least ten more years for Daming to rule the world.

Mu Jing never doubted that he could not clean up the world.

It's just a matter of how long it takes.

If we can win a war, we will definitely usher in peace as soon as possible, and the turmoil in the Central Plains will not become an opportunity for the rise of alien races.

In history, if it weren’t for the Three Kingdoms’ war for a hundred years, the people in the Central Plains were displaced, and the number of people was reduced due to wars for many years. The young and old were exhausted too quickly, leaving only a group of women, children and children with no strength to restrain chickens, and a Han Chinese would not be reduced to two-legged sheep. of the Dark Ages.

In such an era, Mujing is absolutely not allowed to appear, otherwise his life would be completely meaningless, and appearing in this era would be nothing more than a waste of life.

So he can't let the Central Plains be trapped in the war for too long, and the reason for his risk is to make a quick decision.

For strategic deployment, he doesn't care about the loss of a city or a place.

"General Pang Xizhong has already issued a death order to the several battalions in the north, ordering them to rush to Luoyang within ten days at most, no matter the cost!"

Yue Shu said: "If only Gongsun Du was the only one, Luo Yang would still be able to hold on, but our spies have already discovered that some soldiers and horses of the Wei army have entered Hulao Pass, and there is a great possibility that they will be interested in Luo Yang!"

"Do you know the strength of the troops?"

Mu Jing pondered for a while, he always felt that the thing he was most worried about might happen soon, but it was not certain yet, so he still had to worry about it.

"I don't know for the time being. It should be a secret march. Who is the vanguard general and how many soldiers and horses are there? Few people even know inside. Our spies have too many things, and besides..."

Yue Shu smiled wryly: "During this period of time we have concentrated our attention on the northern battlefield, but Yelou has gathered us at all costs. Jia Xu, the general of Yelou, has already taken many of our strongholds, even at any cost. Even if we kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, we will destroy our news network in Yuyan and Yanzhou, so our news from the south has begun to be a little slow!"

This also has a lot to do with Jing Wusi's own mission direction. Jing Wusi's attention is all on the Shangdang battlefield, so he naturally relaxes.

At this time, Yelou is in trouble, even if he can successfully unplug many of Jingwusi's news networks, he will suffer heavy casualties, and even expose the traces of many of Yelou's spies who are already in the Ming court. news.

Under normal circumstances, Yelou would not do such meaningless things, unless there were some movements in Yuyan and Yanzhou, which Yelou would rather die to cover up.

"However, my Jingwu Division has been in business for many years, and it is not something they can cover. We have activated the highest level of spying. There will still be news, but it will be later!"

Yue Shu added.

"ASAP!"

Mu Jing became more and more uneasy, and said: "First, find out the movements of the Wei army in Yanzhou at any cost, especially the Wei army around Hulao Pass. Whether they will enter the pass or not is the key!"

"Yes!"

Yue Shu continued: "There is another matter that needs to be reported to His Majesty!"

"Say!"

"There is news from the right department that they have already infiltrated Jiangdong to a certain extent. Several families in Jiangdong have the intention of leaning towards us. At the same time, our people are contacting Sun Quan who has gone to Qingzhou, intending to help them return to Jiangdong and take charge power!"

Yue Shu said: "The Commander of You Division and Lord Honglu Si Yi are going to join forces to make a Jiangdong plan. As long as there is civil strife in Jiangdong, our army will be able to drive straight into the East China Sea!"

"It can be done, I have no objection, but you don't have too much hope, no one is a fool, if you think you can play Sun Zhongmou in the palm of your hand, you are too naive!"

Mu Jing said calmly: "What should be done can be done, but there is one thing, let them not expose too much and keep their own safety channels. I don't want my commander of the right division and the master of the Honglu division to die in Jiangdong!"

Whether it is Xin Zhao or Yi Ji, they are the talents he relies on, whether in troubled times or prosperous times, they all need their existence.

"promise!"

Yue Shu nodded.

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

Mu Jing went down the tower and came to the main military meeting hall of the main barracks of the Chinese army. At this time, Zhang Liao, Xi Zhicai and other generals, deputy generals and generals were all lingering around the sand table, discussing tactical deployment.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

Everyone bowed their hands and saluted, most of them paid attention to each other. After all, everyone was wearing armor weighing tens of kilograms. Kneeling and bowing to salute were very troublesome, and the military was not a place that paid much attention to etiquette.

"Is there no result yet?"

Mujing asked with a smile.

"Already have a preliminary plan!"

Zhang Liao cupped his hands and said, "We formed a counter force on the southeast side from the eastern front and the eldest son city's defense line, and then we broke through with an elite team, went straight to their lair, knocked the mountain to shake the tiger, and shook them out!"

"It's good to have a decision!"

Mu Jing said calmly: "Start the fight as soon as possible, I don't have time to waste it, this little mouse can't just keep hiding!"

"Yes!"

The generals surrendered.

Zhang Liao began to lay out the plan. His plan was very careful, down to the corresponding positions and defenses of each battalion. The whole layout was clean and neat.

At this time, Xi Zhicai leaned forward and asked Mu Jing in a low voice: "Your Majesty is a little anxious, why?"

"Don't you think that Liu Bei has a backup!"

Mu Jing asked back.

"Backhand?"

Xi Zhicai frowned: "Wei Jun?"

"What if it's not Wei Jun?"

"Then where does he get the strength!"

"Look wider!" Mu Jing reminded.

"On the grassland?"

Xi Zhicai's reaction was not slow, he quickly extended his gaze from the battlefield, if it wasn't south, it could only be north, who else was in the north.

Nothing more than the grassland.

"I just got the news from Jing Wusi that we have several cavalry battalions in the north and wanted to return to Guanzhong, but we were entangled by the Huns, and now we are begging the entanglement of the Huns cavalry!"

"Before the Huns cavalry were repelled by us, even if they want to make a comeback, they still need time to recover, it will not be so fast, and based on my understanding of the Huns, if the Huns go to war, they will not be entangled. Directly!"

Xi Zhicai narrowed his eyes: "So Your Majesty suspects that there is a deal between the Xiongnu and the Yan army?"

It is difficult for these alien races to cooperate, but the transaction is very easy. When they see food, they open their eyes. When Mu Jing resisted the Kanto princes, he also used mercenaries to intervene in the battlefield with food hired Xiongnu cavalry.

In this world, profit is the law of everything, so principles are all nonsense. Although the Xiongnu is the enemy of the world, but one day he can use it for them, and that is also useful.

So Mu Jing was thinking just now, where does Liu Bei's confidence come from? Could it be from these so-called grassland aliens.

"There's not much interaction between them and the Huns!" Mu Jing shook his head.

"That's Xianbei!"

Xi Zhicai suddenly became gloomy: "Youzhou has been beating Karasuma all the time, but when did I hear that they beat Xianbei? Xianbei has accumulated over the years, and now they are strong and strong. On the grassland, they are stronger than the Xiongnu There are hundreds of thousands of people who control strings, it is definitely a big problem for the Central Plains!"

"The truth is, we don't know yet, there is no need to label Liu Bei in such a hurry, what is he planning, we will know when we peel off their skins, but now the time is tight, I feel the danger , so we can't wait any longer, we must speed up!"

Mu Jing pinched the bridge of his nose, and said: "Sometimes I feel that I think it's too good, thinking that the artillery army can rule the world, but in fact, weapons are weapons after all, and the most important thing in war is to rely on people. Boy, the level of insidiousness is definitely not inferior to Cao Cao, if he really has a backhand, and this backhand is Xianbei, then his plan is not small!"

He originally thought that when hot weapons were launched, they would shake the heavens and earth, calm the chaos in the world, and create a prosperous world in the world, but many times, things backfired.

He has not dared to let the artillery army show up until now. During so many battles and so many casualties, he still hides his trump card.

Because he wasn't even sure if this trump card could win the world in one fell swoop after it was revealed.

Once it doesn't work.

Then he will suffer backlash. No matter how good the artillery is, he still needs shells. Once the shells are consumed, is there really any shell workshop in Guanzhong and Henan? Then the artillery of the Ming army is a lump of iron.

It's not a panacea either.

Sometimes the more complicated the battlefield is, the more uncomfortable it is for Mu Jing, but he wants to fight together, which makes it much easier.

It's a pity that many things backfired in the first place. If smooth sailing could happen so easily, then there would be no so-called difficulties and obstacles in the world.

If you want to achieve great things, you still have to face difficulties after all.

Fortunately, Mu Jing is not afraid of these difficulties.

His determination to rule the world is extremely firm, this battle, he will fight if it is difficult, he will fight if it is easy, he does not want to wait, he must fight, the sooner he fights, the sooner he can achieve peace.

"Your Majesty may be thinking too much!"

Xi Zhicai said comfortingly: "We have an artillery army, and there are so many brave and skilled soldiers, this battle is a battle that must be won!"

"Hope it!"

Mu Jing shrugged, nodded, sighed, and said, "You guys planned this battle together. Zhang Liao is in charge of the commander-in-chief. He has the right to make decisions on the battlefield. Whether to fight or withdraw, he said it was messy, and you assist. The only responsibility is to keep Zhang Wenyuan calm. On the battlefield, the calm Zhang Wenyuan is impeccable, but what I fear most is that he is not calm enough!"

"Sir, take orders!" Xi Zhicai nodded, he understood Mu Jing's meaning, Zhang Liao's ability to command soldiers and horses is unquestionable, but in terms of temperament, he still can't do the kind of mountain collapse in front of him without changing his face Therefore, his task is to keep Zhang Liao calm all the time.

"I am waiting for you to return in victory in the eldest son city!"

"promise!"

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

The Ming army is on the northern line, with Sun, Moon, and Zhaoming as the main forces. At this moment, they are forming a semi-arc, directly approaching the Yan army camp in the southeast direction.

The Yan army did not expect that the Ming army would be so decisive, give up defending the city, attack directly, and fight them in the wild, which is beneficial to them, but if they fight at this time, they will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

At this time, the generals quickly returned to the camp of the Yan Army Command.

At this moment, Liu Bei was also sweating like rain on his forehead.

He still underestimated the decisiveness of the Ming army.

I thought it could be delayed for a while, but now it seems that there is no chance to continue the delay. Even if the Ming army suffers, it will have to fight.

But this decisive battle was not what he expected.

On the one hand, he was afraid.

The strength of the Ming army has made it famous all over the world. The title of the strongest army in the world is not based on groundless rumors, but has been fought one after another.

They have fought Yan Jun, Wei Jun, Zhou Jun, and Wu Jun, without any defeat, and they can win in the end.

There are many strategic mistakes here, but most of them are that the Ming army itself is strong enough, and the armies of the major princes are retreating steadily.

It is not a day or two since the Yan army and the Ming army fought each other. They still know the strength of the Ming army very well.

At this time, even if the main force of the Yan army is still stronger than the Ming army, it is really necessary to fight. In the end, it must be the Yan army who is defeated.

It cannot be said that Liu Bei has no ambition, but the factual basis makes him irrefutable. As for the miraculous reversal of defeat on the battlefield, he is not a person who likes daydreaming. How could he take this possibility into account, even if It is possible, and it cannot be predicted in this way. No one dares to put their own lives on the gambling table, so just bet on luck.

Those who should save themselves still need to save themselves.

This battle is also inevitable.

However, it may not be a life-and-death situation. The encirclement is still large, and they still have time to be compressed. As long as reinforcements can arrive within this period of time, and the Ming army is attacked internally and externally, the Ming army will definitely be defeated.

But before that, his Yan army must not be defeated. Once the army is defeated, it will be meaningless to continue.

"Sir, this battle is dangerous. It is difficult for the soldiers of our Yan army to compete with the main force of the Ming army. How should we fight?"

Liu Bei still believed in Li Ru's.

The first time he looked at Li Ru, there was a light of hope in his eyes.

"Wait!"

Li Ru gave a word.

"Wait?"

The generals peek at each other.

"Only defend and not attack, wait for the opportunity to attack!" Li Ru said in a low voice.

"If you only defend but don't attack, it's impossible to last for a long time. If you defend for a long time, you will lose!" A general said coldly.
