Chapter 1777 Bloody Battle of Ming and Wei Dynasties Five

"Min Wu, do you think the Wei army will give us this time?" Mu Jing asked in a low voice, "Why don't I want to procrastinate, so that the main force of my Ming army can go south smoothly, and then why should I be afraid to fight to the death with his Wei army!"

Now that the main force of the Wei army has already approached the city, it means that the war is imminent.

There simply won't be much time for him to circle around.

He even didn't believe that Cao Cao would give them time to delay after the soldiers approached the city.

Besides, although the eldest son city where he is currently stationed is a county city, the county city located in Bingzhou is not a very strong city, and it can hold one or two in ordinary battles.

But it seems that this kind of battle with hundreds of thousands of troops intertwined vertically and horizontally, such a city defense has loopholes in many places, because the strength of the Wei army is enough to surround the eldest son city.

And as long as the Wei army has enough siege equipment, they will definitely not wait and attack first.

The war will start quickly.

And as long as the war starts, the main force of the Wei army will be continuously imported, and the Ming army will have to deal with it at that time.

"Your Majesty, the general believes that it is always the first to strike first!"

Li Yan took a step forward, bowed his hands, and said, "General Minwu Zhonglang has a very good idea, but on the battlefield, one thing is very important, and that is the rhythm. Controlling the rhythm is equivalent to controlling morale. If we choose to stick to it at this time, It is possible to fall into the trap of the Wei army, they will fight us according to their rhythm, and then we will appear passive!"

"Be the first to strike first?"

Min Wu glanced at Li Yan, and retorted: "As far as our strength is concerned, it is not a good thing to go out of the city to fight. It is even tantamount to using your own weaknesses to fight the enemy's strengths. The gains outweigh the losses!"

"No!"

Li Yan immediately retorted: "On the battlefield, military strength is very important, but military strength is only a measure, and it cannot determine success or failure. Sometimes tactical deployment is more important. Our military strength is indeed insufficient at present, but as long as we If the tactics are properly arranged, it may not be impossible to achieve results."

"Tactics?"

Min Wu sneered: "Although the tactics are good, in the real fight, the combat power is the fundamental. Even if there is a good tactical arrangement, if you launch an attack at this time, you will hurt the enemy by one thousand and yourself by eight hundred!"

"On the battlefield, injuries are inevitable. Now we are more concerned about how to seize the first position in this battle and control the rhythm so that our army can win the battle without falling into their rhythm. More time to deploy troops!"

Li Yan argued hard.

"Our generals are not afraid of dying in battle, but they can't die in vain. They know that this is a battle that has no chance of winning, but they still plunge into it. They die and are unwilling!"

Min Wu's attitude is very firm, he doesn't want to fight such a tentative battle.

"All right!"

Mujing pressed his hand.

In fact, he likes this kind of atmosphere very much. Only by gathering everyone's ideas can the tactical layout and strategic plan become more perfect, and it is normal to have quarrels.

Everyone has different tactics and mentality, so there will inevitably be some conflicts.

……

Mu Jing raised his head, looked at Min Wu and Li Yan with vivid eyes, and said quietly: "Min Wu's idea is correct, my Ming soldiers cannot be sent to death in vain, we are not afraid of death, but sacrifice is valuable, this kind of A tentative battle is not very meaningful, it is impossible to damage the main force of the Wei army, and there is no great chance to catch their loopholes, so it is futile!"

What he said made Min Wu secretly happy.

However, he continued to say: "Li Zhengfang's proposal is not unreasonable. Today's battle is a duel of hundreds of thousands of main forces. The victory or defeat depends on the momentum. If you want to control the momentum, you must first control it well." The rhythm of the war, taking advantage of the enemy's lack of a firm foothold, attacking first and breaking the fate of our defense is a very good challenge!"

The corner of his mouth raised a little bit of bitterness, and he said: "I think what you two said makes sense, but as for how to do it, I haven't figured it out yet!"

He really didn't think about it, taking the initiative to go out of the city to fight, the risk is too great, but if he can't control the rhythm, it means that he can't control the momentum of the battle.

"so!"

Mu Jing thought for a while and said, "Min Wu, you are in charge of defending the city, and all the defenses on the city wall are entrusted to you to rule, Lei Hu!"

"exist!"

Lei Hu stepped forward.

"You lead the first army of the sun and the moon, and in addition, you deploy the imperial guard battalion from the divine guard army, plus some troops in the city, to gather [-] troops and prepare to go out of the city to fight!"

Mu Jing said: "Li Zhengfang will accompany you as a general, there is no definite purpose, you adapt to the situation!"

"Yes!"

The generals took the lead.

Mu Jing took a step forward, looking down at the city, his voice was a bit cold, and he said coldly: "I'll besiege the eldest son city, I'll see if you can respond from beginning to end, if not, I don't mind leaving this part Elite!"

For the Wei army, the siege of the city by the vanguard was considered a mistake. If the main force behind could not come up further, this vanguard army would be directly exposed to the division of the Ming army.

Even though the main force of the Ming army is now in the northern border of Shangdang, it is not difficult for them to gather the main force in the Changzi City. If they can kill the enemy army suddenly, it is really possible to kill the main force of the Wei army here. .

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

in the afternoon.

Mu Jing was in the city, walking on the street, followed by Li Yan.

They decided to go out of the city to fight at night, and now Li Yan was a little leisurely, so he wandered around with Mu Jing, the eldest son city was already a bit depressed, after all, war brought fear to too many people.

"What about the issue of food and grass?"

Mujing is most worried about this problem at present. Now the main force of the Ming army is 10,000+ soldiers and horses. Every day people eat and chew horses is an astronomical figure. Once the food is cut off, the morale of the army will be broken.

"The current food and grass can last for a while. After all, we brought back a lot from Hanoi before, but considering the current consumption of our army's main force, it may not be able to last for a long time!"

Li Yan reminded: "Your Majesty, if we want to fight the Wei army for a long time, then we have to consider the issue of food and grass!"

"Luoyang has a problem, it's hard to get food and grass!"

Mu Jing smiled wryly: "I don't know what's going on with Luo Yang. Jing Wusi has already dispatched several scouts, but there is no news at all!"

He is also waiting, but he can't wait for the news of Luoyang. Whether he lost it or is still defending it is related to the entire Shangdang campaign.

"Xu Shu is not a simple person. Even if he can't defend Luoyang, he won't let His Majesty have any problems with food!"

Li Yan said softly.

He also knew Xu Shu, who was young, eager to learn, and extremely intelligent, able to adapt to changes on the battlefield.

"Hope it!"

Mu Jing took a deep breath: "A quick battle is just an unrealistic idea after all, maybe a protracted war is the way we will fight the Wei army this time!"

His idea is that with the eldest son city as the foundation, they will start a see-saw layer by layer, and finally form a long-lasting battle method.

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

The war in Shangdang is raging, and at this time, it is located in Henan, and the war is also raging.

Luoyang City, the capital of several dynasties, has been opened again now, and soldiers like wolves and tigers rushed in, and they began to fight for the resources of this city unscrupulously.

"nothing?"

Xia Houyuan gritted his teeth a little bit. Although he had some feelings in his heart, he was still a little unwilling.

They entered Luoyang City.

With Luoyang City as the logistics center of the Ming army, Luoyang City must be the place with the most abundant supplies. They also wanted to take the opportunity to take Luoyang City, so they supplemented the Wei army from Luoyang City.

Thinking about it this way, he felt very happy. Being able to use the enemy's food to support his army's operations was enough to make the enemy army speechless.

But things went against their wishes, they rushed in, but the city, whether it was the granary or the arsenal, was empty, which made Xia Houyuan very angry.

"General, we have already searched for them. The granaries and arsenals in the city have all been emptied, and many of them that cannot be moved have been damaged!"

The captain bowed his head, bowed his hands in salute, and then spoke slowly.

"Keep looking!"

Xia Houyuan was not reconciled.

"Yes!" The captain accepted the order, then turned and left.

"Why are you so angry?" At this time, Gongsun Du, one of the main generals of the Yan Army, walked in and said with a smile.

For him, being able to enter Luoyang is not bad.

As for the situation in the northern border, he still can't figure it out.

"The Ming army is deceiving people too much!"

Xia Houyuan said gloomyly: "Under our noses, the grain depots and arsenals have been evacuated and destroyed. We have got an empty city!"

"If it was me, it would be the same. There is nothing unexpected. For the current plan, we should take down Hangu Pass. As long as we take down Hangu Pass, then the remaining main force of the Ming army will have no other choice. Already!"

Gongsun Du suggested.

"They withdrew to Hangu Pass, but Hangu Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack. We want to conquer Hangu Pass, but it is not so easy!" Xia Houyuan shook his head, he did not have enough troops to smash it.

Luo Yang was already under a lot of pressure to be able to eat, and he almost couldn't eat any more. If he continued to attack Hangu Pass, his soldiers would collapse first.

"No matter what, I think Hangu Pass is still going to be fought!" Gongsun Du analyzed: "After passing Hangu Pass, they can still go up from the northeast of Hebei. Open up a grain road, and the effect of eating Luo Yang will no longer exist!"

"indeed!"

Xia Houyuan gritted his teeth. He knew it was true. Luoyang was lost, and the Ming army was still at Hangu Pass. They could go west from Hangu Pass and enter Shangdang via Hedong.

"Then fight!"

Xia Houyuan still made up his mind in desperation. Even if he lost most of his soldiers and horses, this battle still cannot be avoided. After all, all their current wars are to serve the main battlefield. He said, he couldn't see Hangu Pass still standing, he thought about that, and said in a deep voice: "If you don't fight today, you will attack tonight. If you can fight, then fight. Cover, withdraw as much as possible!"

"Yes!"

The generals took the lead.

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

Hangu Pass.

This pass was already abandoned, but now that the main force of the Ming army has withdrawn from Luoyang, it has suddenly revived a lot of vitality.

Sitting on the high position in Guancheng, Xu Shu seemed to have aged a lot.

Luoyang was defeated, and he was duty-bound.

It's just that this is not the most important thing. He always feels sorry for His Majesty at the front line, because Luoyang is the central line, and now the central line is broken. The problem of food and grass for the Ming army will inevitably become a very headache.

　Recently, due to some personal matters, the update of Pickup is not very stable. After these two days, it will be fine. Pickup will return to the normal update status as soon as possible!
