Chapter 1834 Countdown to the Decisive Battle

Mujing didn't want to overthrow all the previous strategic deployments on a whim, but when their theme weapon changed, the way of war would also change accordingly.

This is a crucial battle for his unification.

It will also be a battle of special significance for him to change the way of warfare in this era and push the era of cold weapons into the era of hot weapons.

So he has to personally arrange the layout.

After this battle, no matter the winner or loser, he wants everyone in the world to know that the era when one can be a soldier with a pickaxe and sickle is over.

Likewise, he thinks further.

That is to push this era directly into the industrial age. Only when shocking weapons play a shocking role can people realize the importance of technology and the changes brought about by the arrival of industry.

…………

Two hours later, the Ming army will gather in the eldest son city.

This is a spacious hall.

At the top of the hall, Mu Jing was sitting on the first seat. The Dama Jindao looked as imposing as a tiger, and a pair of narrow and cold eyes swept past, making all the generals feel a little shuddering.

Xi Zhicai, Chen Gong and the others knelt and sat on the left side.

Zhang Liao and other generals all knelt and sat on the right side.

This is the final lineup.

The generals and counselors are all the elites of the age, and the play Zhicai Chen Gong, Li Yan, Zhang Song, etc., are all among the best advisers in the world, and they are skilled in martial arts.

Zhang Liao, Ma Chao, Pang De, Min Wu, Lei Hu, Sha Moke, Deng Xian, Chen Sheng, Chen Dao... all the generals are also the most elite generals of the Ming army.

If this formation can't win this battle, then the Ming army should really go to rest.

"The battle is imminent, and I should have let you rest in your respective armies!" Mu Jing spoke first, his deep voice had a hint of majesty that made people excited.

"But I invited all the generals here today, because I have opinions and important matters that need to be discussed with the generals!"

Mu Jing said calmly: "I want to change the strategic deployment!"

"Your Majesty, our strategic deployment is a plan that has been finalized after many discussions, and preparations have already begun. It may be too late to change it now!"

Chen Gong frowned, and was the first to raise an objection.

The front-line staff department spent an unknown amount of manpower and material resources for this decisive battle deployment plan, and it was gradually formed through continuous communication with various military departments.

Now that it is overthrown, it is overthrown, which is a bit of a joke.

And they are now in a very tight battle. After the Chinese New Year, waiting for the second dragon to raise its head in February is equivalent to entering the beginning of spring. Even if it is colder in the north, it may wait until March.

But a war could break out at any time.

So they don't have much time to prepare a new strategic plan.

The strategic plan is completely different from the tactical plan. The tactical plan can be adjusted on the spot, and the tactics to be used are more determined according to the situation on the battlefield.

But the strategic plan is to measure the strength of all parties and make a long-term battle plan. Although it will be adjusted on the spot, it is all contingency and does not hurt the main plan.

Once the main plan is completed, the logistics will follow up first. In order to ensure the cooperation of the various armies, a beacon tower, a viewing platform, a transfer point for food and grass, and a share of weapon deployment will be established from it...

These will be implemented due to the completion of the strategic deployment plan, which will make the decisive battle easier and more planned.

"I know!"

Mu Jing pressed Chen Gong to sit down, and then said calmly: "I have considered everything you said, but this time, I am a dictator, and the plan is worse than changing. Now some things have changed, and I must To change the strategic plan, this matter does not need to be discussed, what needs to be discussed now is how to change the strategic deployment!"

"His Majesty……"

Chen Gong still wanted to say something, but was suppressed by Xi Zhicai, Xi Zhicai raised his head, looked at Mujing, and asked faintly: "How does Your Majesty plan to redeploy this strategic plan?"

Xi Zhicai knows Mujing well.

Mu Jing is a very self-aware person. Generally, on the battlefield, he is more willing to be a mascot, because he will not think that he is better than the generals present.

So he is a person who wants the result, not the process. If he suddenly gets involved, there must be a reason why he has to be involved.

He chose to believe in Mu Jing.

"The previous strategic plan was done very well and carefully. I am very satisfied. The reason why I plan to change the strategic plan is because I want to personally command the battle!"

Mu Jing said calmly.

"Your Majesty, I have made up my mind on this matter!"

At this moment, many people couldn't sit still, they stood up abruptly, staring at Mujing angrily.

They can allow Mujing to mess around.

But there is one thing, Mujing will never be allowed to take risks.

Daming can survive without anyone, except Mujing. As long as Mujing falls now, Daming will undoubtedly lose. This is something everyone agrees on.

"In addition, I only personally command three troops, the first guard army, the second artillery army, and the third army. The first army of the Ming Dynasty's new army was formed just now!"

Mu Jing said calmly.

The Divine Guard is the guard army, and if he wants to go to the battlefield in person, then the Divine Guard must be accompanied by his left and right, and the Artillery Army is the key to victory and the foundation of hot weapons.

Under his military order, Chen Dao gathered eight thousand elites, and he designated them as the first army of the Ming Dynasty's new army. He used a new word to tell the people of the world that this army is unique and will It will be the object for all soldiers and horses to emulate in the future.

"I have made a decision on this matter, and no one can object to it. Anyone who violates it will be beheaded!"

Mu Jing is the emperor who conquered the world, and his majesty has penetrated into all the soldiers in the army, so his words are imperial decrees and cannot be violated.

"promise!"

All the generals trembled and quickly bowed their heads to take orders.

Military orders are like mountains, in the army, especially in wartime, military orders are the highest imperial decree, no one disobeys the military orders handed down by Mu Jing.

But Xi Zhicai, Chen Gong and the others had an ugly look on their faces. They always felt that Mu Jing was too childish, and even if they believed it, they still had some doubts.

"Okay, now let me say some conditions!"

Mu Jing said: "I want to put the decisive battle here!"

He came out and pointed to the sand table in the center. On the sand table was the topography of the Shangdang battlefield, including the surrounding Hanoi. It was too far away, and the east of the river was covered in it.

The place he pointed to was Huguan.

"why?"

Xi Zhicai couldn't figure it out.

"They're all thinking about capturing the thief and the king, and they're putting the battlefield in the eldest son city, so why can't I do it in the opposite direction!" Mu Jing said indifferently: "They thought my Ming army was seriously injured, but they didn't expect me to know The combat effectiveness of the army may not be weak!"

Mu Jing's voice quickly detonated the audience.

"Then the overall strategy will not be overthrown!"

"The strategic deployment we established around the eldest son city itself is based on defense, which has changed our strategic thinking. All previous strategic plans can no longer be used!"

"As far as our military strength is concerned, it is indeed impossible to complete the offensive deployment of reverse encirclement. If we really fight like this, we will be able to mobilize more troops!"

"Some playful plans!"

"Your Majesty always likes to take risks, which is well known in the world, but this battle is too dangerous!"

"We can take it step by step, why should we attack so recklessly, to capture the thief and capture the king, it is the easiest to be cut back by others..."

"..."

Xi Zhicai, Chen Gong, and the others whispered, and the generals couldn't sit still. They respected Mujing's military order, but after the main strategic plan was proposed, they would still have their own ideas.

This is the general of the Ming army.

Mu Jing is emphasizing that the military order is like a mountain, and it will also inspire the generals' self-combat thinking. After all, those who can sit here are the elite generals of the Unique Army. When they are fighting, they must command themselves.

"Besides, I'm going to fight myself!" Mu Jing said: "The generals hold back Cao Mengde's main force, and I will lead the army to capture Huguan!"

Xi Zhicai stood up, cupped his hands and saluted, and then asked: "Why is Your Majesty so confident?"

"Confidence is never expressed, but expressed. I know that you are all worried about me, but since I have such an idea, it is after careful consideration. In this battle, I will personally solve Cao Mengde!"

Mu Jing said calmly.

The crowd was silent.

They didn't know whether to respond or not. On the surface, Mu Jing's battle plan was too childish, and it was easy for the enemy to directly defeat the main force, and even make him a lone army.

But they also knew that Mujing must have confidence.

"Could it be artillery?"

Xi Zhicai murmured in his heart: Even though the artillery is powerful, the artillery has already been brought up. If he had had this plan before, he would have released it long ago.

This time he figured it out, and he glanced at Chen Dao.

"Da Ming New Army!"

He knew the reason why it appeared on the new army of Ming Dynasty, but he still couldn't think of how to make eight thousand troops overthrow the victory or defeat of hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the battlefield.

Where does Mujing's confidence come from?

"Xi Zhicai, Chen Gong, Li Yan, Zhang Song!"

"exist!"

"I'll give you ten days to complete a new strategic deployment and re-coordinate the strength of the various armies according to my strategic thinking!"

Mu Jing said indifferently: "Remember one thing, the better your plan is, the more you can attract the main force of the Wei army to the main battlefield, the better chance I will win!"

"promise!"

Now it's not a matter of raising opinions, Mu Jing's majesty is overwhelming, even if they are Mu Jing's direct confidants, at this moment, at this critical juncture of the battle, if they dare to openly challenge Mu Jing's authority, then Mu Jing will not be soft-hearted.

A person who can be an emperor is not without friendship, but rather than friendship, he has more rules, rules that no one can break, no matter who it is, he should be killed or killed.

So they are all smart people, and they can only take orders at this time, but they are all muttering in their hearts.

"Wen Yuanzhi is here to stay, and everyone else should prepare immediately. Time waits for no one. All armies must cooperate with the staff to complete this new strategic deployment!"

"Yes!"

Everyone filed out, and there were only three people left in the hall, Mu Jing, Xi Zhicai, and Zhang Liao.

"Are you confused now?"

Mu Jing smiled and asked.

"Your Majesty, you caught me by surprise!"

Xi Zhicai smiled wryly.

He has cooperated with Mujing for so long, ever since Luoyang fled to the south, he thought he was the person who knew Mujing best, but he found that he was getting more and more confused about Mujing.

Maybe this is the emperor.

After becoming the emperor, Mu Jing's thoughts became extremely strange to him.

"It's not intentional teasing. Some things, even if I say them, I still can't explain them clearly. I can only tell you that the combat methods of the Artillery Army and the New Army will change the entire era!"

Mu Jing said: "I have absolute confidence that I can defeat Cao Cao, so the core of this battle will change from defense to attack. I want to make a quick decision!"

Zhang Liao only opened his mouth at this time. He has been silent until now. He opened his mouth at this time because he wanted to ask: "Then what does Your Majesty want the general to do?"

"Wenyuan!"

Mu Jing walked down, walked to the sand table, and said with a smile: "You are the person who is most familiar with the deployment of the battlefield. Tell me, if I want to fight Cao Cao in Huguan, what do you think is the best way to fight?"

"Actively attack, and then lure the snake out of the hole, they will be on the defensive, but when our main force is out, they must also be out, otherwise their morale will be hit, because the soldiers will not look at the so-called strategic deployment plan, but look at the battlefield Changes, when their soldiers feel that their battlefield is shrinking and they are being beaten by us, they will be disturbed in the army, and the army's spirit happens to be their weakest point, so as long as we dare to attack, they must fight back! "

Zhang Liao analyzed: "But the Wei army is superior in strength to ours. We turn from defense to offense, which means that the main forces are fighting against each other. If they don't have an advantage, as long as they have a little bit of vigilance, they will deploy heavy troops at Huguan to prevent us from stealing the camp. !"

"If you are given control and occupation, you are sure, how much force can they put on the main battlefield?"

Mujing asked again.

"Two thirds!"

Zhang Liao thought for a while and said: "This is the limit, but their strength is not small. Even if I can suppress this force here, they still have at least [-] main forces in Huguan, waiting for the emergency!"

"I believe in you!"

Mu Jing patted him on the shoulder, and said: "So on the main battlefield, you are the main general, and Xi Zhi is the assistant. You coordinate the overall battle situation, and I will steal the camp!"

"Too risky!" Zhang Liao was silent for a while before uttering three words, which may be his best advice.

"I have been telling you all this time, this is a troubled world, and we are all fighting for our lives. You need to risk your life to survive, and I also need to risk your life to survive!"

Mu Jing said: "This troubled world must end, I am willing to fight!"

Xi Zhicai and Zhang Liao looked at each other, and they understood one thing very well, that is, the young man standing in front of them was the supreme emperor of Ming Dynasty.

Mu Jing's character is often able to accept other people's advice, but more often, he is one-sided, stubborn, and self-centered.

This is a common problem that all emperors have. It is an advantage and a disadvantage.

"Go get ready!"

Mu Jing waved his hand and said, "Believe me, and you also believe in yourself!"

"promise!"

After they left.

Mu Jing thought for a while, and ordered: "Xuan Xu Shu!"

"Yes!"

Soon some soldiers brought Xu Shu in.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

"How is the preparation of Chen Dao's new army?"

"Already selecting the elite, I also found an open place in the western suburbs for him to train, but it may take more time!"

"Up to a month!"

Mu Jing said calmly: "Cao Cao can't sit still, and I don't have so much time to spend here with him!"

"One month is a bit difficult!"

"Overcome difficulties!"

"Yes!"

Xu Shu nodded.

"You will serve as my advisor first, and then serve as Chen Dao's deputy general, the left Sima of the new army. I want to fight personally, and you will accompany me. I need your advice!"

Mujing Road.

"Isn't it more appropriate to participate in politics?"

"People are more needed in a frontal battle. Zhang Wenyuan can't hold on alone. Only Xi Zhi can assist him, so that he can display his absolute strength!" Mu Jing glanced at Xu Shu, and asked with a smile: "Why, are you scared?"

"Not cowardly, just a little apprehensive!"

Xu Shu said: "I'm afraid of my own mistakes. After all, when it comes to military strategy, ministers are not as good as participating in politics, let alone Chen Shangshu!"

"Don't underestimate yourself!"

Mu Jing shook his head, and said softly: "I believe in you, whether it is in government affairs or military affairs, your ability is no worse than anyone else, and now is the time for employing people, so there is no excuse!"

"The minister takes orders!"

Xu Shu bowed his hand and took the order.

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

Huguan.

Cao Cao's eyelids twitched a little, and he always felt a little bit of a bad feeling.

"Feng Xiao!"

Cao Cao knew Guo Jia the most, and asked Guo Jia about everything: "How does Gu feel, I feel a little uneasy!"

"Your Majesty, think about it!"

Guo Jia smiled wryly and said: "The decisive battle has not yet started, if the king shows a trace of uneasiness, it will easily disturb the morale of the army!"

"Too!"

Cao Cao shook his head, and then asked, "Has our frontline troops gathered?"

"Ok!"

Guo Jia sighed: "If our military morale hadn't been too chaotic, we wouldn't have taken this step back and given up the advantage we got!"

"no way!"

Cao Cao said helplessly: "Gu's prediction was too good. Although Gu defeated Yuan Benchu, I have to admit that Yuan Benchu ​​still has some people's hearts. There are still many soldiers who think of the old master in their hearts, but Jia Wen And discovering that they have some collusion in recruiting, mutiny is possible!"

"It's a cold winter, so these soldiers will naturally think too much about whether they are loyal to us, but it doesn't matter now, Zhang He and the others are still stable!"

Guo Jia said: "And now we are fully withdrawing, taking a rest, and adjusting the strength of the troops, mainly those middle-level generals, a few have been cleared up, and the rest are in order, and then adjust their positions, then the following The soldiers in the army are actually listening to the generals, so the problem is not too big!"

"Hey!"

Cao Cao sighed: "Now we can only wait for spring!"

The Ming army was seriously injured because of the bloody battle with the Yan army, and their Wei army was actually not having a good time. The main force of the Zhou army that was gathered back then was still almost ready.

Not to mention betrayal, the price comparison lacks loyalty and is prone to turmoil. As long as there is a slight change, they will be uneasy, so they dare not fight a bloody battle.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will talk to those surrendered generals during this period of time, and make sure that they won't have other ideas during the battle!"

Guo Jia coughed twice, and his face paled a lot.

This winter, he has suffered.

"Gu believes in you!" Cao Cao asked, "Is there any news from Ye City?"

"Send a message that the eldest prince will personally lead the reinforcements!"

"It seems that Xun Yu also understands Gu's heart!"

"The battle is imminent, Xun Wenruo is not stupid!"

"The decisive battle is about to begin!" Cao Cao stood up and looked at the map of the great Han Dynasty hanging behind the screen: "Let's just see, who of us will have the last laugh!"
