Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1753 Extinguishing Yanyi
The morning sun, with a touch of vigor, is reflected on the vast land.

Huguan, which was shrouded by the rising sun, seemed a bit solemn. At this moment, the whole area of ​​Huguan was filled with the lingering smell of blood.

"How's Wei Jun doing?"

Huangfu Jianshou came down from the mountain.

He looked outside the city wall and said in a gloomy voice.

"General, the scouts have reported back just now, and the Wei army has withdrawn twenty miles away!" Ma Liang bowed his hands and then reported.

"That's good!"

Huangfu Jianshou breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the mess on the city wall. Most of them were corpses from the battle last night. He gritted his teeth and couldn't bear it, but he couldn't show it.

He is now the chief general of Huguan, any emotion will lead to a change in the morale of the army.

"General, why didn't you fire in advance?"

Huang Ming's pupils were bloodshot as he stared at Huangfu Jianshou.

"You know why?"

Huangfu Jianshou responded calmly.

Huang Ming's emotions suddenly collapsed, squatting on the ground: "Fu Gang died in battle, many generals died in battle, they could have survived..."

He could understand that Huangfu Jianshou's choice was only based on feelings, and the death of a robed Ze made him a little unbearable.

"If I die in battle, I can keep Huguan, and I am willing to die here!"

Huangfu Jianshou closed his eyes, and said quietly: "As the general of Huguan, I only care about how to defend Huguan. As for the other things, I can't care about it. If Huguan is breached, we may all die. All soldiers died here!"

"General, with the capability of our artillery, I believe we can defend Huguan!" Ma Liang said, clasping his hands.

"Ha ha!"

Huangfu Jianshou sneered, then shook his head: "No matter how good a weapon is, it still needs people to use it, and we don't have many cannonballs, so we use one less. After the cannonballs are used up, our cannons are just a pair of broken copper cannons." Rotten iron!"

What he said immediately aroused the blood and self-confidence of the generals, and instantly cooled down a little.

"General..."

Ma Liang looked at Huangfu Jianshou.

"Clean the battlefield!" Huangfu Jianshou waved his hands and said, "For all of us now, it is a day to be able to hold on!"

"Yes!"

The generals took the lead and quickly sent people to clean up the battlefield.

"General!"

A personal guard came up, bowed his hands and saluted, and then reported: "Twenty miles to the west, there is a soldier and horse coming towards our pass!"

"What soldiers and horses?"

Huangfu Jianshou frowned.

To the west is the direction of the eldest son city. From which direction, it is not the enemy, but the main force should have no reinforcements.

"The horse character battle flag, and the designation of Changshuiying!"

"Horse?" Huangfu Jianshou's eyes lit up: "Ma Chao, the commander of the Divine Guard, Changshui Battalion, one of the five battalions of the Divine Guard, is our reinforcement!"

"Reinforcement?"

"We still have reinforcements?"

The generals suddenly became a little excited.

"Clean the battlefield first!"

Huangfu Jianshou shook his hand, although he said: "I will personally meet Commander Ma Chaoda!"

At this time, Ma Chao led the army to come for reinforcements. For him, it was a shot in the arm.

If there is Ma Chao, he can last at least ten days or eight days, otherwise Wei Jun will attack again, he may have to burn the cannon and escape.

The first-generation and second-generation red-clothed cannons are different. The first-generation shells are actually running out. They were blasted once last night, and the casualties were not too great.

If it happens again, Wei Jun is prepared, then they can avoid it, and the lethality will be less.

He is not sure whether he will be able to hold the Huguan at that time.

But if there is Ma Chao's reinforcements, he is at least [-]% sure that he can hold for ten days. Of course, this refers to the situation that the main force of the Wei army has not arrived yet.

He guessed that the main force of the Wei army would arrive under Huguan within five or six days.

That was the real bloody battle.

Although the Ming army had cannons, if the Wei army dared to use human lives to pile them up, Huguan would definitely be breached. As long as it was breached, all the cannons would lose their combat effectiveness.

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

Twenty miles away.

Wei Jun set up camp.

"How about the battle damage?" Lu Bu asked impatiently.

"Battle damage?"

Several generals under his command looked at each other and smiled wryly.

"It's actually not that big!"

Song Xian stood up: "It seems that we still want to be defeated, but in fact, the casualties are not large, and many of them were not killed by the enemy's artillery, but the formation was chaotic. It's chaotic, people are crowded, people are trampled on, and the casualties have increased dramatically!"

"Besides, when we retreated, everyone was running for their lives, so it seemed as if we scattered in a herd, and it seemed that we had suffered heavy casualties. But after gathering these remnants, we discovered that our battle damage was only about [-]!"

Another captain, Hao Meng cupped his hands and said.

"artillery!"

Lu Bu gritted his teeth, and he experienced the new weapons of the Ming army for the second time.

"Last night, the artillery of the Ming army may have only been used for about half!"

Jia Xu's face was a little gloomy: "It's just that we still underestimate the influence of artillery. We must emphasize the lethality of artillery among the soldiers, so that the soldiers will not be chaotic under the bombardment of artillery, otherwise we will continue to fight like this." It’s the same as last night, I’m afraid we will be defeated again!”

The previous battle of Wancheng and the battle of Huguan last night gave them an intuitive understanding of this new weapon of the Ming army.

The explosion radius of this kind of weapon is not large, and if it is not very concentrated, it can only injure three or five people in one shot.

The greatest harm this weapon did to the Wei army was that it defeated the fighting spirit and fighting spirit of the Wei army, and plunged the Wei army into chaos.

It seems that in the battle last night, the Ming army fired about a hundred shells, but the soldiers of the Wei army who were injured by the shells of the Ming army were at most three or four hundred generals. Casualties that resulted.

The data wounded in the hands of one's own people is more than that of the people killed in the enemy's guns.

"Ok!"

Lu Bu nodded: "The artillery of the Ming army is indeed very powerful. Siege of cities and territories is a unparalleled weapon. Even if a fortified city is under their attack, it may be turned into ruins, but this kind of weapon also has shortcomings, and what they bring to us. The biggest impact here is because the ground shakes under the roar, like a meteorite falling from the sky, so it will defeat the fighting spirit and fighting spirit of the generals!"

Lu Bu's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a stern look in his pupils: "If we can make the soldiers get used to this kind of bombardment, then even if they use artillery again, it may not be able to cause us great casualties!"

"I wanted to lure the snake out of the hole, but now it seems that this python is too fierce!"

Jia Xu said to Lu Bu: "General Lu, no matter what, the generals under your command are disturbed too quickly. You need to rest for a while to eliminate this influence before you can continue to fight!"

Their plan was to lure out the artillery of the Ming army so that they would have a chance to conquer Huguan, but the influence brought by the artillery of the Ming army exceeded their expectations.

Now Lu Bu has no power to fight back.

"I also have this intention!"

Lv Bu smiled wryly: "It's just that the king doesn't have much time for XX!"

"No matter what, you can't let all of you die. I will personally write a secret letter to the king and explain the reason clearly!"

"Thank you, General Jia Zhong!" Lu Bu breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're welcome, I also hope that we can help each other in the future!" Jia Xu bowed his hands and walked out of the tent.

Lu Bu looked at his back with complicated eyes.

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

It only took half a day for the battle of Huguan to spread to the eldest son city.

In the afternoon, Mu Jing was fishing by a lake.

He is idle?

No, his mind is a little disturbed. The more anxious he is, the more disturbed he is. Sometimes fishing can calm his mind.

As the Son of Heaven, he is personally conquered by the royal driver, and he is the one who can't be messed up, so no matter what time it is, he must ensure his calm emotions.

"His Majesty!"

Li Yan walked quickly, hurried over, and said, "The battle report from Huguan?"

"say what?"

Mujing looked at the motionless buoy on the lake, and asked directly instead of looking at it.

"Last night when the Wei army attacked at night, our army couldn't resist and had already used artillery. General Huangfu Jianshou said that since the artillery has been fired, the Wei army must be prepared. Our army may not be able to hold Huguan for a long time!"

Li Yan said.

"Huangfu Jianshou has inherited some of his Lao Tzu's cautiousness. Since he said that he can't keep it for a long time, it means that he still has some chances to keep it!"

Mu Jing smiled: "At this time, Ma Chao should also be in Huguan. As for Huguan, there are at least seven or eight days left, and at most half a month can last!"

He slightly raised his head and looked into the distance, which was the direction of the northwest battlefield: "Now we're going to look at Zhang Wenyuan. Whether Zhang Wenyuan can quickly deal with the Yan army is the key to determining whether we can get this world!"

He has already given Zhang Liao all the support he could, except that he had to face Wei Jun as his only hole card, he had no reservations.

The rest depends on Zhang Liao's ability.

Only by solving the Yan army will they have a chance to return to defense, and then they will have a chance to fight the Wei army. Otherwise, they will be unstoppable under the attack from both sides.

At that time, he may have to consider running away.

The last road is nothing more than Jiangdong.

But Cao Cao is so menacing, once he seizes Luoyang, will he give up Hedong? If the road to Hedong is cut off by then, it will be difficult for him to escape.

During the war in Henan Pass that year, his father died in battle and the Mu family was defeated. He fled all the way like a lost dog. That feeling was enough to accompany him for a lifetime.

He didn't want to feel this way a second time.

So this battle, he must win.

The only chance is on Zhang Liao. If Zhang Liao can win, he can win. If Zhang Liao loses, he can only bear the worst result.

"General Zhang Wenyuan, he must have already started to rush in at this time. It's really hard to say whether he can go straight in, capture the thief and the king, and directly capture Liu Bei!"

Li Yan analyzed and said.

"Strategic deployment, tactical analysis, we have done everything we should do, and the rest can only be done by the frontline soldiers!" Mu Jing shook his head: "It's useless to think too much, you have to be patient, you can't give They are under too much pressure!"

He looked at the buoy and said with a smile: "Just like now, you must be patient when fishing. I believe that I can catch a fish today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the buoy was pulled. He pulled hard, and a big black fish was picked out of the water with the fishing rod.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Li Yan bowed his hands and saluted, his eyes full of admiration.

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

Northwest battlefield.

The main force of the Ming army and Liu Bei's main force are now less than ten miles apart, but because of the complicated terrain, the Chen Bing between the two sides seems to be a bit like Go, with black and white intertwined.

But in this game of chess, the Ming army has the initiative, and the Ming army is trying to slay the dragon. As long as the dragon slaying is successful, the Yan army will lose everything.

However, if the Yan army can keep the dragon and break through with its peripheral forces, there is also the possibility of turning defeat into victory.

If you want a result, you still need to fight on the battlefield.

The night was a little quiet.

A round of bright moonlight poured down, shining in the camp of the Ming army.

"are you sure?"

In the big tent, Zhang Liao looked a little dignified, looking at the sand table with very aggressive eyes.

"The scout has basically been confirmed!"

Xi Zhicai said: "But it may not be a trap set by the enemy. They know that we want to eat their middle battalion, so it is impossible to be unprepared!"

"So the directions we got are probably the traps they gave?"

Zhang Liao frowned.

He paced back and forth, pondering for a while: "Is there any news from Chen Gong?"

"Have!"

Xi Zhicai said: "He has already divided his troops out. The Zhaoming First Army has established a line of defense on the east side, and has even engaged in battle with their cavalry. Although it initially blocked it, it may not be able to stop it for a few days. The Zhaoming First Army Although his fighting power is good, Huang Shao is also a general with military strategy, but it is hard to say whether he can stop the Xianbei cavalry and Zhao Yun. For them, time may not take much, and..."

Xi Zhicai drew a road on the sand table, and said: "If I were Zhao Zilong, and I was blocked on my way back, I might not fight to the death. I would cross this road. The pawns are too slow, and we might be able to react to it." Stop it, but the speed of the cavalry, even if the Zhaoming First Army is aware of it, they may not have enough time to react, as long as they cross this road, they will be able to go directly to the back of our camp from the official road!"

"Anti-kill?"

Zhang Liao sneered: "Liu Xuande is not planning the same plan as us!"

"We all know that defeating the Central Battalion and taking care of them is equivalent to defeating them. They may not be unexpected!"

Xi Zhicai said: "We can use this trick of capturing the thief and capturing the king, but can't they use it?"

"indeed!"

Zhang Liao nodded: "You can't underestimate Yan Jun!"

He pondered for a while and said: "Since this is the case, we can only risk our lives. It is too late to change tactics now, so we bet on speed with him!"

"speed?"

"Look who is faster!" Zhang Liao said: "I will stop defending and attack in an all-round way. I don't even care about the rear wings, and the main force will attack. I don't believe that he can stop the main force of our Fifth Sun and Moon Army!"

He has confidence in the Sun and Moon Fifth Army.

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

The Mo Dao of the Ming Army is a new type of weapon. The lethality of the Mo Dao far exceeds that of the spear and the first sword on the battlefield of cold weapons.
