Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1836

Huguan.

The sun was shining and there was no cloud in the sky.

Inside and outside the city, where the light shines, piles of snow can be seen everywhere that are constantly melting.

"It's spring!"

Standing on the top of the city, Cao Cao was wearing a battle armor. His tall and straight body exuded an awe-inspiring aura. Looking into the distance, he let out a sigh of relief.

The feeling of this sound is not only to feel the arrival of spring, but also to feel the coming of the Great War.

"Yes!"

Guo Jia wore a blue robe with his hands behind his back, his face was like a crown of jade, his eyes were shining with the stars, the sun and the moon, and his cold voice said coldly: "We have finally waited for the beginning of spring!"

In Guo Jia's heart, the most tense and uncomfortable thing is not the loss, but the long wait before the war.

This kind of waiting is like suffering in hell.

And this winter is too long, so long that his mental strength is exhausted.

"Alright!" Cao Cao showed a faint smile on his face, casually, but also indifferently: "Don't think so much, either one battle will determine the world, or one battle will lose the world!"

Entangled for so many years.

Fight so many battles.

He is also tired.

Every time he sees the road paved with blood and corpses, he feels uncomfortable for a while. The world should not be like this. If he can't return the balance of the world, he will die.

"My lord, we will win!"

Guo Jia said firmly.

Cao Cao glanced at him, seeing the firmness and perseverance emanating from his eyes, his heart suddenly softened, his expression changed, and he said deeply: "You are right, Gu will definitely win!"

"Your Majesty, I just got the news that the Ming army has occupied Huaishui Town!"

Jia Xu hurriedly walked up to the top of the wall, bowed his hands and saluted.

Then he said impatiently: "Furthermore, according to the information obtained by the scouts, the main force of the Ming army occupying Huaishui Town is no less than [-]!"

When Cao Cao heard this, his pupils changed color slightly, and he cast a sidelong glance at Guo Jia.

Guo Jia looked indifferent.

"Actively start a war?"

Guo Jiashi opened his mouth calmly, and said with a smile: "My lord, it seems that the Ming army can't wait too?"

"I'm just thinking, what is Mulongtu plotting?"

Cao Cao frowned: "He has absolutely no superiority in military strength, so why should he fight against me? He can defend the city, but he will lose in the fight. Where does he have the confidence and courage!"

"Tomorrow Zi makes good use of unexpected strategies!"

Guo Jia thought for a while: "Whether they are taking the initiative to attack, it may not be true, but one thing, it is true that they are provoking us. At this time, they are provoking us. The intention is nothing more than hoping that we can attack, but what does our attack do to them?" Good, so I can't figure it out!"

"What should I do?"

Cao Cao clenched his fists.

"Can't go back!"

Guo Jia sighed: "Now our morale is not very stable, but every step back is an endless abyss, so we can only move forward, no matter what tricks they play, we must move forward!"

"It makes sense!"

Cao Cao nodded.

He is very clear that he has an advantage in military strength now, but his military spirit may not be stable. If he had a firm military spirit, he would have started the war long ago, and there is no need to wait until now.

"so!"

Cao Cao was silent for a while, and said to Jia Xu: "Let Yan Xing go and have a try, give him [-] soldiers and horses, let him attack Huaishui Town, and test the reaction of the main force of the Ming army!"

"Yes!"

Jia Xu surrendered.

"Yan Xing is capable, but the strategy may not be top-notch. We don't have such a military adviser to follow the battle now. You go to help him. This is just a test. You adapt to the situation. If you find something wrong, withdraw immediately!"

Cao Cao said indifferently: "The main thing is to delay the time, wait until our army completes the encirclement formation against the eldest son city, and then start the onslaught!"

"it is good!"

Jia Xu took the order.

Nowadays, there are really not many generals in the Wei army. One adviser can be used as three. It doesn't mean that he must be Jia Xu, but he Jia Xu may be second only to Guo Jia's adviser.

Guo Jia wants to take charge of the overall situation, respond to various forces, and complete the deployment and control of the strategic battle situation. He is the only mobility left. He is also in control of the night building, and he is well-informed.

So it's okay for him to roam around as the main strategist.

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

Huaishui Town.

This is a small town.

The town is located between a river and two mountains. The water is the Huaishui River, which is just an ordinary small river, but it is also three feet wide. Especially after the ice and snow melt in spring, the water level rises, and it is obviously a little panting. Generally, there are no boats There was no way to cross the river.

With mountains on the left and right sides, the township is sandwiched on a plain between the mountains, so this place is also a battleground for military strategists.

After receiving the military order, he is in charge of the Sun and Moon Second Army stationed here, the main force of Shamoco.

"General Zhonglang, the Wei army has already dispatched troops. It is less than [-] miles away from our camp, and they are heading towards our army at a fast speed. They will reach Huaishui Town at the latest in the evening!"

Xiaoqi, a member of Jingwu Division, is reporting the news to Samoko.

"Explore again!"

"Yes!"

"Where is the scout captain!"

"The end is here!"

"You immediately lead the scout battalion to set off, and activate the clearing order. If you find any enemy scouts along the way, clear them immediately. A certain family will blind their eyes and ears. As long as they enter within fifteen miles, I don't want to see any of them. The scouts exist!"

"Yes!"

"This task is not easy. Someone gave you thirty seven-ball crossbows for the scout battalion, and you must guarantee to complete the task!" Shamoke said coldly.

The Seven-Ball Crossbow is a light crossbow, and it is a weapon for close use. It is generally a self-defense weapon for a lieutenant-level general, and a weapon for elite scouts.

This kind of crossbow is very difficult to manufacture, and the craftsmanship required must be very delicate to make it. It is easy to carry, and can complete an effective kill within fifty steps. It is one of the best weapons in the Ming army's equipment.

"Please rest assured, General Zhonglang, we promise to complete the task!"

The captain is a barbarian.

Among the young generation of Wuxi Man, he has the highest martial arts skills and is also known as the king of the jungle. He died at the age of five, started hunting and fighting in the jungle at the age of six, became the bravest warrior of the tribe at the age of 12, and began to follow Sha Moko's campaign is the best scout fighter under Shamoko's command.

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

Twenty miles away.

"what?"

A cold light burst out of Yan Xing's pupils, his cold eyes swept away, and his cold voice filled the boundless Xiao Sha: "In less than an hour, we actually brought seventy scout soldiers?"

Those who can be scouts are all elites in the army.

The scouts must be the first to go, and the main force must be escorted by scouts. However, they were killed by more than [-] scouts in less than an hour after they were released.

This can make his heart ache for days.

"The last general is incompetent, please punish him!"

The scout captain said bitterly.

The one on the other side is too ruthless.

They didn't give them any chance at all, and they started to snipe from fifty steps away, and they didn't use bows and arrows, but crossbows, a crossbow that could be used with one hand, and easily completed long-range sniping .

"What exactly is going on, let me explain it clearly!"

Jia Xu, who was riding on a horse beside him, looked at the scout captain: "Even if our army's scouts are not as good as the enemy's, it is impossible to kill more than [-] people in just one hour!"

"Reporting to Junshi Jia, it's not that we are incompetent, but that the scouts of the Ming army used a particularly powerful crossbow. It can be used with one hand and wound with the other. There is no slight deviation in the sniper attack within fifty steps!"

The scout captain said in a low voice: "In fact, we shot them to death as soon as we met!"

"inability!"

Yan Xing roared: "If you are so incompetent, don't give back all the responsibility to the other party. Even if it is seventy pigs, it cannot be killed by one face-to-face. They are still our most elite scout soldiers!"

"General Yan, be safe and don't be impatient!"

Jia Xu suppressed Yan Xing.

Yan Xing was panting, he didn't care much about others, but he still had some respect for Jia Xu, not only because Jia Xu was Cao Cao's special envoy, but also because Jia Xu was once a counselor in Xiliang.

He believed that Jia Xu would not harm himself.

"Lieutenant Luo, you gathered all the scouts back from ten miles away, and kept alert within five miles to defend against the attack of enemy scouts!"

"Yes!"

The scout captain took the order and left.

"Wenhe, if there are no scouts to explore the way, how can we move forward?" Yan Xing asked gloomyly.

"I can't move forward for the time being!"

Jia Xu shook his head, and said in a low voice: "The situation ahead is unclear. They suddenly cleared the scouts. I am afraid they are trying to hide some troops. We must find out a little bit before we can continue to attack!"

"No way!"

Although Yan Xing may not be good at strategy, he is indeed a veteran and experienced general. He spread out a map, looked at the map and said: "Huaishui Town is the only defensive position, and there may not be any places around here. It is not a good choice to ambush us in a place where a large number of troops can be hidden!"

"The more unexpected it is, the easier it is to catch him by surprise!"

Jia Xu said in a low voice, "We can't give them a chance!"

Yan Xing thought about it, and finally believed in Jia Xu's judgment, and could only order: "Immediately pass on my military order, and set up camp on the spot to rest!"

"promise!"

The left and right soldiers sent orders.

At this time, Yan Xing was ready to compare the map with Jia Xu. This map is more detailed, and the topography of the other party's hundreds of miles is clearly marked.

But Jia Xu looked at this map, but shook his head: "This should be a map from a few years ago. For the topographic map of Shangdang, we haven't prepared enough. Most of the time, we use maps drawn a few years ago. To use, but in fact the terrain changes, but it is easy to change suddenly within a few years!"

"can you?"

Yan Xing frowned, he thought for a while, and said, "Even if there are changes, they won't change much, and it won't affect our deployment of troops!"

"The difference is a thousand miles away!"

But Jia Xu said: "So we still need to be more serious!"

"Wenhe, to be honest, is it because the king is not ready yet, so you are not going to attack at all?" Yan Xing hesitated, but still asked the question he wanted to ask.

"Your Majesty is indeed still lining up troops, and all the troops have not come out of the pot to imprison the eldest son, so there will be no decisive battle for the time being. It will take at least ten days and a half months to complete the encirclement of troops before the battle will begin!"

Jia Xu said: "But the king ordered you to attack, and that is also a real mission. Although Huaishui Town is just a town and does not have much defensive power, but the terrain here is special. It is between the eldest son city and Hukou Pass, and they are fighting for an advantage. When the Ming army occupied Huaishui Town, we must take it back, so that we can send troops without any burden, otherwise if we are nailed here by them, once we approach the eldest son city, we will face a situation where we cannot defend the middle road! "

He said softly to Yan Xing: "General Yan, don't think too much. The king sent you out this time because he hoped that your generals could gain some battlefield experience. After all, even though you have elite soldiers , but there are also many new soldiers, if we can’t complete the tacit cooperation, the decisive battle will become a gap in our own formation!”

Yan Xing's military force is actually composed of the core of his own most elite subordinates in the past, but more soldiers are surrendered soldiers and recruits. If they can't work together, they won't be able to exert more combat effectiveness.

"A certain family understands this point!"

Yan Xing nodded, and said softly: "But if we keep squatting here, I'm afraid it will affect the morale of the army. You also know that our soldiers need a victory to ignite their fighting spirit!"

"I've also thought of this. Taking a rest on the spot, on the one hand, is to find out the bottom line, and on the other hand, it is also to show weakness!"

Jia Xu smiled darkly, and said: "As long as we are stable, I believe they will attack, so we can use the camp as a temptation, and then ambush halfway!"

"You mean, divide the troops!"

Yan Xing understood, but he had some considerations: "But this is too cruel. The recruits didn't go to the battlefield, and they left behind to lure the enemy. I'm afraid there will be countless casualties!"

"The war is approaching, we have no choice at all!" Jia Xu didn't care at all, he said coldly: "General Yan Xing, I just tell you a fact, that is, once the king loses, we will all die!"

Yan Xing heard the words, considered it for a while, and then said: "Okay, just do as you said!"

He asked again: "But what if the Ming army defends Huaishui Town to the death?"

"That's even better. We can take it easy and step by step. With the advantage of our strength, we will line up in Huaishui Town, which has no defensive terrain. When we fight against each other, we will have an advantage."

Jia Xu said with a sneer.

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

Huaishui Town.

Shamoko is waiting for news, and it would be ideal to wait for the news back.

"Suppress their scouts to within ten miles?"

Sha Moke looked at Mantu with a smile on his face: "Good job!"

"The last general can continue to suppress them!"

Mantu asked Ying to say.

"no need!"

Sha Moke shook his head: "There should be cavalry in their battalion. If they press too hard, they cooperate with the cavalry to attack, and you may not be able to run so fast by then!"

"General Zhonglang, what shall we do next?"

A military Sima stood up and asked with his hands clasped.

"Wait!"

Sha Moke looked at the sky, and said lightly: "Let's not rush, just wait and see!"

"Yes!"

The generals still trust Samoco.

Since this Wuxi barbarian king entered the Ming court, he has experienced hundreds of battles, and has learned a lot of military tactics. He has made rapid progress in martial arts, and he is more and more fond of layout warfare.

"Han Guang!"

"The end is here!"

A lieutenant stood up.

"Your troops immediately withdraw from Huaishui Town, go five miles north, and set up camp here. The mission is to watch the battle, and not to participate in the next confrontation!" Shamoke pointed to a location on the map, and said suddenly.

Han Guang is one of his Han generals who is good at planning and fighting. He is one of his special lieutenants. Compared with Wuxi Man who only understands strength but does not know how to arrange troops, he prefers Han Guang who is knowledgeable. A strategic general.

"Yes!"

Han Guang took the order without asking any questions. The military order was like a mountain. Now that the military order had been issued, he could only respect it. He immediately turned around and left, preparing to lead his camp to move north.

"General Zhonglang, why don't you let Han Guang's main battalion join the battle!"

Someone asked.

Han Guang is their main fighting battalion.

"Don't ask too much!"

Sha Moke said lightly: "You have to remember one thing, the mission of our Second Sun and Moon Army has never been to defend Huaishui Town, but to use Huaishu Town to kick off the prelude to this great war!"

"Yes!"

The generals nodded in awe-inspiring hearts.

"It's getting dark!"

Shamoke smiled and said: "Since they stayed and camped, and the scouts were suppressed by us, let's try to steal the camp!"

He ordered: "Xiongwu!"

"exist!"

A big man with a beard and a big hammer in his hand stood up.

"After nightfall, your troops will attack the Wei army camp. Remember, you must be fast, attack quickly, and withdraw quickly. In any situation, don't love to fight, and withdraw immediately!"

"Yes!"

Xiongwu took the lead.
