Chapter 1785 Bloody Battle of Ming and Wei Dynasties Thirteen
"It's better to strike first?" Xi Zhicai shook his head, "I'm afraid Wei Jun wants us to do this!"

Hearing this, Mu Jing narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes flickered for a moment, rubbed his hands together, frowned, a little gloomy, and said, "You mean, Cao Mengde set up a trap?"

"When we count them, they will count us!"

Xi Zhicai analyzed and said: "Your Majesty's character, they should be able to do a detailed analysis and understanding, so as to judge the direction of His Majesty's next move!"

He smiled and continued: "Your Majesty has always believed in the idea that offense is more important than defense, so taking the initiative to attack is actually more in line with His Majesty's character. I believe King Wei is also very clear about this!"

When Mu Shan died in battle, Mu Jing returned to Luoyang, and was trapped to death in Luoyang by the Guandong princes. He did not defend, but took the initiative to attack. This is already evident, Mu Jing's character.

His personality has always existed in these years of war. Of course, sometimes he has learned to avoid some uncontrollable factors brought by his personality to the war.

As an emperor, Mu Jing is not a son of heaven who inherits the throne, he is an emperor who conquers the country on horseback. He has his own ideas about war, and he is not a person who meddles indiscriminately.

He believes in one sentence, that is, professional things should be done by professional people.

This is also one of the reasons why over the years, even though many people knew Mu Jing's character, they couldn't calculate him on this point.

But now Mu Jing is personally conquered by the royal driver, and guards the eldest son city.

So in this battle, Mu Jing's thoughts are very important, no one can ignore Mu Jing's influence, his words and deeds will affect the thoughts of the commander in chief.

Therefore, the enemy army will definitely figure out Mujing's thoughts and the most likely approach.

"The King of Wei will not give His Majesty this chance. Even if the King of Wei didn't expect it, Guo Fengxiao and Jia Wenhe who are beside the King of Wei will not let the King of Wei make such mistakes!"

Xi Zhicai said softly: "I dare say, if we choose to attack at this time, we will definitely be directly ambushed by the enemy army. If we can go out, we may not be able to come back!"

Hearing this, Mu Jing sighed, but did not refute Xi Zhicai's words, he knew that what Xi Zhicai said was right, just as the Ming army would speculate on Wei Jun's movements, Wei Jun would do the same.

His every move is actually in the enemy's countermeasures.

"But the eldest son city is not a strong city. Although it is a county city, it is not comparable to some counties in Yuzhou and Jingzhou. At present, our military strength is not superior!"

Mu Jing said in a low voice: "If we fight, we will suffer!"

"indeed so!"

Xi Zhicai nodded: "But it is precisely because of this that we cannot give up our advantages. This battle must be based on the eldest son's defense!"

He thought for a while and said, "I've asked Chen Gongtai and Li Zhengfang to do a set of defensive tactics, why don't we go and have a look and make plans!"

"Row!"

Mu Jingting nodded, and looked at the snow in the sky: "Since God is helping me, then help people to the end, this snowstorm will be more violent!"

The colder the sky, the more violent the wind and snow, the worse the weather will be. Under such bad weather, even if the Wei army supports the war with leisurely physical strength, it will be a great disadvantage to the attacking side.

In this way, the Ming army can delay more time.

Time is the lifeline right now.

After all, the Ming army had just experienced a bloody battle with the Yan army, killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred. In this battle, the Ming army paid a huge price.

Whether it is military strength, combat effectiveness, morale, or fighting spirit, the current Ming army is not even [-]% of its peak morale.

In a fight, the Ming army suffered a disadvantage.

However, if the Ming army is given enough time to recover its strength and reorganize its main force, then the Ming army will at least be able to meet the next battle in a peak state.

Of course, whether God will help or not is another matter. Nowadays, it is not surprising whether winter has entered or not. The cold autumn can continue, and winter can also be brought forward...

In war, in many cases, the right time, place and people are harmonious, and the right time comes first.

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

The main hall of the combat staff is set up in the side hall on the left side of the county mansion. The spacious hall guards six or seven large combat sand tables, including the detailed topographic map of Shangdang, the topographic map of the entire northern territory, and the eldest son city. A detailed combat deployment map with a radius of hundreds of miles...

Chen Gong and Xi Zhicai returned from the northern part of Shangdang at one time, together with Li Yan, dozens of staff generals, and dozens of generals dispatched from various military departments.

In this battle hall, there are at least fifty or sixty participating generals who are making a detailed strategic deployment.

This includes terrain analysis.

Force analysis between the two sides.

weather analysis.

Battle formation analysis.

……

After these analyzes and so on, each plan has a new way out.

Since the establishment of the General Staff Department by the Ming Army, each military department will have a staff office, which is under the command of the left general of the military department.

The generals who participate in this kind of position are often served by soldiers from the Armed Forces Hall. Most of them are familiar with the art of war, and they have a professional background and have systematically studied combat.

Therefore, pre-war planning and deployment is the most important relief for every war. Regardless of the size of the battle, for the Ming army, unless it is an encounter, they will plan in advance, and there will not be only one plan. If there is enough Time and energy, and even make more than a dozen battle plans.

In this way, the Ming army can be more fully prepared for the war, and it can also reduce the variables encountered in the war and have better coping capabilities.

………………

When Mu Jing and Xi Zhi came in, the noise from the main hall was still extremely loud.

"This battle plan doesn't work!"

"Why do you say no!"

"Putting troops on the left flank and waiting for consent to put them within the enemy's attack range is a loophole in itself!"

"Nonsense, this terrain is the most suitable terrain for heavy infantry to attack. Although it will be within the enemy's attack range, it can use the shield to draw the sword, and achieve the force of a decoy, which can reverse the entire battlefield on the left wing! "

"Fart, once our heavy infantry suffers too many casualties, then our west city gate will directly face the enemy's attack, and the chance of the eldest son city being able to defend will be reduced!"

"..."

"The possibility of Wei Jun's frontal attack, I think it is the South City Gate!"

"No, the east gate is the most important thing. I think the most important thing for us is to deploy defenses in the eastern suburbs, and suppress the Wei army's offensive with a continuous momentum!"

"The casualties are too great, and the terrain in the eastern suburbs is not only not suitable for our formation, but will even have a certain impact on the enemy's attack. Outside the southern suburbs, there is a flat river. Compared with the enemy, it is better to attack. I think the defense The South City Gate is the most important thing!"

"..."

Such quarrels were endless, and amidst such quarrels, Ming army's battle plans came out continuously, and then handed over to Li Yan and Chen Gong.

At this moment, Li Yan and Chen Gong already have hundreds of battle plans in their hands.

And what troubled them even more was the plan for the distribution of troops on the full-scale battlefield. This plan never came out, which made them a little impatient.

It even caused Chen Gong and Li Yan to have some disputes. Their combat ideas are different, so naturally there will be some differences and some disputes.

When Mu Jing and Xi Zhi came in, their quarrel stopped for a while.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

"I've seen dramas and participated in politics!"

The two saluted, and a kind of general also saluted one after another.

"Don't be restrained!"

Mujing pressed his hand slightly towards everyone, and said with a smile: "I just came here to take a look, you continue to discuss your matters, don't worry about us, we just take a look!"
