Chapter 1730 Decisive Battle at Shangdang Seventeen
into the night.

On the battlefield, the soldiers of the Ming army were still cleaning up, picking up the broken weapons, and moving the corpses one by one into a pit to bury them.

At this time, Shamoko had already rode his horse up a hillside.

On the hillside, one by one of the soldiers held torches, and under the light, two figures stretched very long.

"The last general, Shamoke, meet the general, meet and participate in politics!"

After Shamoke got off his horse, he gave a military salute.

Although he is a barbarian, he has surrendered to the Ming army for many years. He knows a thing or two about the interests of the Ming court, and he is even more respectful about the etiquette in the army and never exceeds it.

Since ancient times, those who have been able to become kings are definitely not the kind of reckless people who seem to be rough and crazy, but in fact, this kind of people appear to be rough and thin, and they are more cautious.

"General Shamoko!"

Zhang Liao opened his mouth and asked in a low voice, "How did you gain from this battle?"

"Three thousand 120 seven of the enemy's soldiers were killed, and two thousand 890 two were captured. They opened up the Shanghe line of defense. The first line of defense of the Yan army has been defeated by us!"

Samoko reported in a low voice.

"Ok!"

Zhang Liao nodded: "Good job, but not enough!"

"Please tell the general!"

"This battle was initiated by the enemy. Since it is an active provocation, there must be a reason. Have you thought about why they must fight this battle with you?"

Zhang Liao asked.

"This..." Sha Moke was a little puzzled: "The general can't figure it out!"

"It's easy!"

Zhang Liao beckoned and asked Sha Moke to come forward, pointing to him, and said, "You should be familiar with this area for a hundred miles. From here, fifty miles, where is it?"

"The official road to Bingzhou?"

Samoke's eyes lit up, and he said, "They are luring us to attack!"

"I figured it out very quickly!"

Zhang Liao smiled and said: "That's right, the enemy took the initiative to fight with you. It's best to win. If you lose, the direction they broke through is the direction you attacked, but it happened to be this direction. It will take more than three times more time than usual to attack, and their second line of defense will have more time to construct!"

"What a meticulous mind!"

Sha Moke gritted his teeth and said, "Tomorrow I will personally lead the army across the river!"

"Do not worry!"

Zhang Liao shook his head and said, "Since they have already laid out a path for you, you can go on your way, there is no need to take another shortcut!"

"But time..."

"We are not the only one with your main force!" Zhang Liao's face became serious, and he said, "General Shamoke, I order you to follow the official route to the north to pursue the breakout soldiers tomorrow, but to be ruthless, you must attract the main force of the Yan army! "

"The last general takes orders!"

Samoko nodded.

Although he was thoughtful, he knew very well how much money he had, if he wanted to discuss the situation with Zhang Liao, and discuss profit with Xi Zhicai, ten of himself would not be enough.

So he just needs to play according to the layout of Zhang Liao, Xi Zhicai and the others, so at least there will be no major mistakes.

As a general, it's not good to think too much. If you want to fight dangerously, you have to bear the consequences of failure.

"When necessary, we can merge with the Eastern Front!"

Zhang Liao ordered: "The troops commanded by Chen Gong on the eastern front have already pushed into the front. There is a gap of at most ten miles from the official road to Bingzhou in the north. As long as you cooperate, you will have the opportunity to take the entire Yan army on the eastern front. I'm crushed!"

"Yes!"

Samoko nodded.

There are quite a lot of troops on the eastern front, the main force of the three armies, the second Zhaoming army, the third sun and moon army, and the fourth sun and moon army.

The main forces of the three armies pressed up and could entangle most of the Yan army's strength. If at this time, I went north and suddenly gathered with the main force of the Ming army's eastern front.

Then it is possible to create an opportunity to defeat the eastern defense line constructed by the Yan army across the board, and even directly take down several cities, so that the Yan army has nowhere to hide.

…………

In the middle of the night, on the middle of the month.

Xi Zhicai and Zhang Liao returned to the frontline headquarters.

"General, Mr. Participating in politics!"

Chen Sheng, the chief general of the Fifth Sun and Moon Army, stepped up and asked very directly, "How is the front line going?"

"In a hurry?"

Zhang Liao smiled and asked back.

"A little bit!"

Chen Sheng said in a low voice: "My fifth army has not been mobilized. I know that the general has other uses, but I can't help but care about the situation on the front line!"

"Get ready!"

Zhang Liao said, "The Fifth Army will be mobilized soon. This battle will be a hard one. At that time, we will face two or even three times as many troops. I don't want the Fifth Army to let me down!"

The Fifth Army of the Sun and Moon, formerly known as the Modao Battalion.

The Modao Battalion is divided into two parts, one part is heavy cavalry, only about half a battalion's strength, but equipped with such a powerful weapon as Shang Modao, half a battalion's strength can play an important role .

In addition, the infantry soldiers in heavy armor, wearing heavy armor and holding Mo Dao, rushed past, as if they were being pushed horizontally by bulldozers.

The strong combat power is rare in the world.

Zhang Liao kept the fifth army and did not participate in the main battle line of defense, that is, he wanted to implement his own tactical arrangement and force his way in with an elite force.

This is a risky move.

But if it succeeds, the center of the Yan army can be defeated quickly. Once the central command is defeated, the entire Yan army will be directly divided by the Ming army.

At that time, even if the Yan army can retain the main force, they will be severely injured and have no morale.

This battle, Zhang Liao calculated many times back and forth.

The chances of success are great.

But the risks are also great.

So he has to lead the army himself.

"Don't worry, General, the men and women of the Fifth Army are all elites of the Ming Dynasty. They can kill the enemy in battle, and we will never disappoint the General in the slightest!"

Chen Sheng said firmly.

He must seize this opportunity to make contributions. He must win when he goes to war.

To say how loyal he is to the Ming court, that's not necessarily the case, but the Ming court has already been imprinted in the hearts of Mo Daojun. Unless Daming is defeated, he will fight to the death at all costs on the battlefield.

"it is good!"

Zhang Liao nodded, smiled, and said, "The most important thing for you now is to recharge your batteries, because I will do it soon!"

"Yes!"

Chen Sheng turned and left.

Xi Zhicai and Zhang Liao entered the camp, when Xi Zhicai said: "Chen Sheng is a bit ambitious!"

"I hope he's ambitious!"

Zhang Liao didn't care too much: "We are all people who roll on the tip of the knife. It is not enough to rely on blood. We must also have glory and wealth. After all, it is not easy to survive on the battlefield. Those who survive People, there are a few who don't want to make contributions before returning to the battlefield!"

"You're right!"

Xi Zhicai was stunned for a moment, and after realizing it, he clapped his hands and said, "Then I thought, he can have more ambition like this!"

"What did you see in the battle between Samoco and Yan Jun today?"

Zhang Liao walked to the marching map hanging on the screen and asked suddenly.

"I don't know if it's an illusion, but the Yan army seems to have become a bit sluggish. There is no problem with Shan Jing's command, and their army configuration is also no problem, but it is too easy to defeat!"

Xi Zhicai had already seen it.

Although the Yan army was not as good as the Ming army, they were not so weak in the confrontation. In today's battle, Shan Jing fought fiercely, but he still couldn't stop the Ming army with a small force.

There is something wrong with this.

"Look at the news!"

Zhang Liao dug out a record of the news report from the desk and handed it to Xi Zhicai.

Only then did the play log open, and I looked at it carefully.

Immediately, I realized something in my heart: "Wen Yuan, you mean that the combat effectiveness of the Yan army has become weaker. That's because even the elites have brought a lot of recruits and young adults among them!"

"Ok!"

Zhang Liao said: "Judging from the information collected by the Jingwu Division, although the main force of the Yan army is quite large, but this time they conquered us, almost all of them came out, and even at any cost, they recruited a lot of young and strong recruits in Youzhou and Hebei. On the battlefield!"

"Where did these people go?"

"If they don't form a single army, it can only mean one thing, and that is that these young and strong recruits have been dispersed and entered the main force of the various ministries!"

"This method is not bad. Veterans lead recruits. After the first battle, with enough experience, it is easy to become a veteran. The fastest speed is to adapt to the battlefield and mature!"

"But it depends on who their opponent is..."

Xi Zhicai quickly reacted to Zhang Liao's words, and he couldn't help but burst out laughing, saying: "Liu Xuande is really brave, if he gathers these young men together to form an independent army, I won't mention him What's the matter, at such a juncture, breaking them into the main force of each army is tantamount to abolishing martial arts. It takes a process to grow up. Even if our recruits who have undergone heavy training in the new barracks want to go to the battlefield and enter the battalions to replenish their troops, Then you need to take it easy when you go to the battlefield, because there are too many opportunities for recruits to make mistakes, even if they are young and strong, the cooperation of the army requires a tacit understanding!"

"He is helpless!"

Zhang Liao said with a sneer: "The Yan army may have fewer troops than we imagined. It seems that he didn't pay a big price when he fought the Zhou army in Hebei, but in fact, they occupied half of Hebei. A lot of battles were fought, and the casualties were dispersed, so on the surface, the casualties were not large, but in fact, their veterans were not enough at all!"

"That's a good thing for us!"

Xi Zhicai laughed, and suggested, "Maybe we can be bolder, more adventurous, and save a lot of time!"

"Although time is the core of this battle, we still can't take too many risks for the sake of time!" Zhang Liao shook his head: "What we saw on the battlefield is only what we saw, and it may not be what Liu Xuande wanted. It was shown to us, so our guess can only be regarded as a half chance at most, and it is not worthwhile to change tactics for half the chance!"

"Your mind is heavy!"

Xi Zhicai narrowed his eyes slightly: "I don't even think Liu Bei has such thoughts!"

"It's better to be wrong than not to believe it!"

Zhang Liao's face was very calm.

"Then do as you said, but let me remind you, we really don't have much time, the less news comes later, the more serious the situation is!"

Xi Zhicai said: "You are clear about our majesty's character. When he is silent, it is precisely when he is under pressure alone. He may not want to affect our battle, but I am sure that something must have happened later. Accident!"

His guess was close to ten, but even Xi Zhicai probably couldn't imagine that the situation was worse than they had imagined.

Even Mu Jing knew a lot of news, but he couldn't imagine what Cao Cao had done to calm him down in a single battle.

eldest son city.

in the city.

Mu Jing couldn't sleep all night, a lot of news came to his case one after another from the south, and he had a clear view of the situation on the Yuzhou front.

But under the influence of more and more news, he became a little confused.

Cao Mengde made him confused.

"Sun Bofu's going north can indeed free up a lot of troops for him, but it is also easy to get burned. It is not a good thing. Does he trust Sun Bofu so much?"

Mu Jing paced back and forth, looking at another sand table terrain, which was a map of troops arranged according to the Yuzhou front.

"perhaps……"

Mu Jing thought of some possibilities, but he didn't think Cao Cao could go so hard.

if so.

Then this battle is really fierce.

"Your Majesty, Jingwu Si Tan Zong asks to see you!"

"He is back?"

Mu Jing frowned.

"Just after returning to the city, I rushed to see His Majesty!"

"Let him in!"

"promise!"

A soldier of the Divine Guard came in with the help of Tan Zong. Tan Zong was walking on crutches at this time, and it was very difficult for him to walk, but he was in a hurry.

"Tan Zong, greet Your Majesty!"

"You don't need to be too polite!"

Mu Jing looked at Tan Zong and asked directly, "How is the situation in Xihe?"

"I've convinced Zhang Xiu. It depends on Zhang Xiu's thoughts. There may be repetitions. But he thinks he is a smart person and can understand the situation!"

Tan Zongdao.

"How did you convince me?" Mu Jing was curious.

"This person is not decisive enough. Whether it is Liu Bei's person or Li Ru's spy, I will kill him and die in his camp. Unless he can decisively take me down and send me to Liu Bei, since he can't, He has no second choice!" Tan Zong said briefly: "But he asked me for a promise from His Majesty, and I gave it to him instead of His Majesty. Of course, he should be more or less skeptical, a little uncertain, saying It might be possible to go back on his word, so I didn't dare to rule the front line. He has surrendered. Otherwise, if the general finds out and expects him, things may be ruined. I have arranged for Han Tao to supervise in the army. On the one hand, keep an eye on him, and on the other hand, report his march to the front line. Now he divides his troops into two groups. The cavalry enters the east of the river, and he personally leads them. , directly into the battlefield, as for where he decides to send troops in the end, he may have to see what he has in mind!"

There was no surprise for Mu Jing, he paid attention to methods in doing things, and Tan Zong's method was still relatively good, as long as he could win Zhang Xiu over.

At this time, there is no need to pay attention to loyalty. This battle is related to the fate of the Ming Dynasty. For this battle, he can make any promises.

As for the future, that is the future.

"Since you know that this person is uncertain, why don't you suppress it yourself in the camp, so that there is a little more possibility to prevent variables from appearing!" Mu Jing said.

"I got some news, so I had to rush back in person!" Tan Zong said through gritted teeth.

"What kind of news can make you unable to sit still!" Mu Jing's eyes were a little cold.
