Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1837 Unpredictable

Under the cover of night, a Ming Army soldier rushed directly into the Wei Army camp.

"kill!"

The imposing killing intent erupted like a rainbow.

"kill!"

"kill!"

The morale of the soldiers of the Ming army rose to the extreme in an instant, and they charged in the dark. In less than a quarter of an hour, they had already broken through the front camp of the Wei army.

"How did it go so smoothly?"

Although Xiongwu is not a wise general, he is not stupid either. If he is stupid, he can only be a vanguard soldier who charges into the battle, not a captain of a battalion.

As soon as he rushed in, he discovered that Wei Jun's resistance seemed to have weakened very little.

They fought against the Wei army.

Although Wei Jun's combat effectiveness is not as good as theirs, they will not break through the formation so easily.

"New recruit?"

Xiongwu took a look at the battlefield and saw those Wei soldiers retreating steadily, the fear reflected in the torchlight on his face could not be fooled.

This should be the first time the generals on the battlefield showed their performance.

He understood immediately.

This is a bait.

At this time, Xiongwu remembered Shamoko's instructions, to fight quickly, to withdraw quickly, not to stay, not to hesitate.

He quickly ordered: "Retreat!"

After a charge, Xiongwu quickly withdrew without any lingering, without any hesitation.

"withdraw!"

"withdraw!"

The elite of the Ming army is based on their discipline, and nothing can stop them with a military order.

"Why did you withdraw so quickly?"

A lieutenant general in the Wei army camp looked at this scene and frowned slightly.

According to this situation, the Ming army should make persistent efforts, continue to go deeper, and continuously attack the Wei army's camp, but they did not expect a charge, killing hundreds of soldiers, and then quickly withdrew.

This caught him off guard.

"Come on!"

"exist!"

"Beat the drum, inform the general that the Ming army has withdrawn!"

"Yes!"

Boom boom boom boom boom! ! ! ! ! ! !

Intermittently, as if rhythmic drums sounded.

"Withdrawn?"

Yan Xing, who was ambushing on the hillside, was a little puzzled: "Why?"

"Why are there so many?"

Jia Xu shook his head: "The Ming army is very smart, it is very difficult for them to be fooled. At this time, there is no need to wait, and attack immediately, as many as they can kill!"

"it is good!"

Yan Xing nodded, and he quickly led the army to attack.

The two armies intersected between the road and the farmland, and at this time it was shrouded in darkness. Even with a torch, they could quickly see the figure a few steps away. Such an encounter was very sudden.

Xiongwu reacted quickly, he had already passed through, so they didn't stay.

Probably less than fifty soldiers were lost, and the main force was successfully withdrawn without Yan Xing blocking a direct attack.

"hateful!"

Yan Xing was not reconciled: "Come here, send an order to a certain family, and a certain family will chase after you personally..."

"General, don't be impatient!"

Jia Xu suppressed Yan Xing, and said: "This is a night attack. The two sides are fighting, so it's inconvenient. They rushed in and retreated quickly. They were all planned. We attacked rashly, and it was easy to be fooled!"

Under Jia Xu's persuasion, Yan Xing could only suppress his anger and return to the camp, but the camp was a bit chaotic at this time, and there was a mess everywhere.

"How about the casualties?"

Although Yan Xing wanted to use these recruits as bait, he also allowed them to accumulate some battlefield experience and learn to fight amidst the cruelty.

This kind of training method is too cruel. Under normal circumstances, they would not do this, but now the battle between the two sides has reached an extreme.

So they can only do whatever they can, because they can't afford to lose.

"Report to the general, one thousand and eight hundred sons will be killed in battle!"

The deputy general reported.

"How could it be? They didn't even break through the front battalion in such a short period of time. How could they kill so many of our soldiers?" Yan Xing was furious.

"General, the number of soldiers who died in the enemy army was only four or five hundred. The rest were all because they were suddenly attacked and couldn't react in time, and then squeezed back hard. They were trampled to death, and they were beheaded by their own weapons. Yes, more than a thousand people!"

The lieutenant said in a low voice.

"Trash, all of them are trash!" Yan Xing was furious.

"This situation is also helpless. No matter how long the recruits go to the battlefield, they are always afraid between life and death!" Jia Xu was very calm.

"But they can't resist the enemy, and it's fine if they can't hold back the Ming army. It's a shame to blow up the battalion by themselves!"

Yan Xing looked at a school lieutenant with cold killing intent in his eyes.

The generals were silent like cicadas, not daring to look up.

"never mind!"

Jia Xu said: "With this experience, the battle should become much better in the future. Now it is more important to rest the army and gather the morale of the army. Otherwise, they will fight back and kill us, and we will be miserable!"

At this time, he still has to be on guard. The Ming army often likes to take surprises in many things. This is the style of the emperor who has inherited them.

After all, many people in the world know that Tianzi Mujing likes taking risks the most, the more you try to guess, the easier it is for him to fall for his tricks.

"Come on!"

"exist!"

"Integrate all the troops and horses of the camp, count the roster of soldiers, rest for a day, and prepare to attack the camp tomorrow afternoon, before the soldiers approach Huaishui Town!"

Yan Xing had no choice but to hold back his breath, deal with the enemy first, and then go back to deal with his own soldiers.

"promise!"

The generals took the lead.

At this time, Yan Xing asked Jia Xu: "Mr. Wenhe, the Ming army made a surprise attack and quickly withdrew, as if predicting that we would ambush them. Why?"

"Just judge others by yourself!"

Jia Xu said calmly: "They didn't predict it, but thought of this possibility, so this night attack is just a test. On the one hand, it is a test of our combat effectiveness, and on the other hand, it is a test of our deployment!"

"I see!"

Yan Xing asked: "Then do we need to continue to attack?"

"They want to force out our deployment. Why don't we want to know their deployment? I always feel that there is something wrong with the defensive front of Huaishui Town!"

Jia Xu said: "According to the original plan, we will continue to attack tomorrow. As long as they attack, their strength will not be able to hide. As long as their strength is revealed, their combat intention will inevitably be exposed!"

"Understood!"

Yan Xing nodded.

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

Xiongwu withdrew to Huaishui Town overnight.

"How's it going?"

Sha Moke waited for most of the night, saw Xiongwu came back, quickly stepped forward to greet him, and then asked.

Don't look at his strategizing.

In fact, he was also nervous in his heart. After all, he was a general, not a strategist. A general cared more about the result than enjoying the process.

He was afraid that his guess was wrong.

That would lead to the loss of everything.

It doesn't matter if he loses, if he gets involved in the battle situation, he will die, and even Wuximan's future will have survival problems because of his loss.

"Sure enough, as General Zhonglang expected, they did have a premeditated plan. Although there are a lot of soldiers and horses deployed in the camp, they are all logistics soldiers and recruits, and they will be scattered as soon as they charge!"

Xiongwu reported: "However, their main force ambushed between us on our way, intending to ambush us. Fortunately, I got away early and didn't go deep. I didn't give them any chance to encircle us from behind, so it was damaged. It was less than a hundred sons, and it was successfully withdrawn!"

This loss figure is relatively large for a battalion in normal times, but in today's war, it is not a big figure.

"Sure enough, the net is waiting for me!"

Samoko sneered.

"General Zhonglang, what shall we do now?"

"Continue to defend Huaishui Town!"

Sha Moke didn't care, the strategic deployment had already been made, and now he only needed to use the tactics, and he had confidence in this tactics.

Especially this time, he thought that he could retreat without losing too much troops.

"Yes!"

The generals took the lead.

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

After a day, in the evening.

Wei Junbing came to Huaishui Town. Huaishui Town is just a small town without too many defensive walls, but in terms of terrain, it is still somewhat defensive.

"It's less than three miles away from us!"

Sha Moke sneered: "I really want to see, do they dare to come in!"

Naturally, Wei Jun didn't dare to rush forward.

Yan Xing is a little impulsive, but he is definitely not stupid. A stupid person can't live until now. He seems impulsive, but most of the time it's just a cover, an additional personality for himself.

He is more calm and saves his life.

So at this time, he will become cautious, try not to let himself be fooled as much as possible, and will not let himself lose too much force, especially his elite direct line.

"Attack?"

Yan Xing asked Jia Xu.

"Not for now!"

Jia Xu shook his head: "Although Huaishui Town has a certain defensive power, but they are fighting here, their terrain is a bit stretched, so they don't have the advantage of our troops. If they stick to this place, then this point must be crucial. role, but the main battlefield should be in the eldest son city!"

Jia Xu couldn't figure out what the purpose of Huaishui town would be for the Ming army to throw its troops here.

Of course, if it can form a triangular defensive formation with the eldest son city and the south side, it can also have a very good tactical effect.

But now they are attacking alone, and there is no tactical suppression. This Huaishui town should not have much effect.

Is it worth defending by the Ming army?
"But we don't have an advantage in the confrontation. Our generals and soldiers are more powerful and consume a lot. If we don't attack, it will consume morale!" Yan Xingdao.

"Night attack that night!"

Jia Xu thought about it and said.

"Night raid?"

Yan Xing thought for a while, then nodded and said: "You can try it. I have seen the terrain here. The terrain here is not complicated, and the defensive terrain is not very obvious. If you attack at night, you can try to attack from the flanks to expand your force advantage. , connect the frontal battlefield with the flanking battlefield, so that we can give full play to our advantages and break their control of Huaishui Town!"

"That's fine!"

Jia Xu nodded and said.

………………

At night, the Wei army launched a night attack. The night attack paid attention to speed. Under the leadership of Yan Xing, the Wei army was very fast, and they did not rush into Huaishui Town in all directions.

But Shamoko seems to have been prepared for a long time.

He divided his troops to attack.

I also split up to deal with it.

He chose to stick to Huaishui Town, so he naturally had his combat tactics. When he responded to the Wei army's attack, he placed the troops camped not far to the north in advance to attack from behind.

The Wei army can usually find it, but the Ming army wiped out a wave of scouts before, and the scouts were not in place, so they didn't find the main force of the Ming army's first battalion waiting for a long time on the flank.

After fighting this night, Wei Jun suddenly suffered a big loss.

Yan Xing lost nearly [-] soldiers and had no choice but to withdraw from Huaishui Town and keep retreating for [-] miles in a row before he could gain a firm foothold.

This battle dealt him a great blow.

And the news was quickly sent back to the headquarters of both sides...

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

"Losing?"

Cao Cao was not surprised at all when he got the news. Yan Xing's elite troops were not many, and there were many recruits, so the combat effectiveness was actually not great. For him, this battle was just a tentative one.

Winning or losing doesn't matter.

What matters is the result.

"Feng Xiao, do you think Huaishui Town has an advantage in terms of geographical location for the war between the two sides?" Cao Cao couldn't understand why the Ming army established a defense line in Huaishui Town, and it was able to withstand Yan Xing's attack. There were not a few troops.

"I can't tell, but..."

Guo Jia squinted his eyes and looked at the sand table.

The intuitive topographic map of the sand table appeared in his eyes, which fascinated him a little.

"but what?"

"If soldiers and horses are not only stationed in Huaishui Town, but also in Huaishui Town and Ma Ding Mountain, then together, plus the terrain of the eldest son city, it will be a three-way opposing horn protection formation!"

Guo Jia said.

"Ma Dingshan in the south of the eldest son city?"

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he said, "You mean that Mujing wants to build a triangular defensive formation to deal with our main attack!"

He hesitated for a moment, and said: "He should know that our military strength is superior, the three sides are opposed, and the horn defense seems to have an advantage, but in the face of absolute military strength, it is somewhat scattered combat power!"

"Ok!"

Guo Jia nodded: "I think so too!"

"Then what do you think they want to do?"

"It's a little unpredictable!"

Guo Jia said bitterly: "The news from the night tower just made me a little confused. The Ming army did leave the southern suburbs, but not only Ma Dingshan, but also the official road, Dangshui River, and Shimushan. Garrison troops!"

"why is that?"

Cao Cao immediately frowned.

"I just can't figure it out!"

Guo Jia's eyes flickered brightly, and he said solemnly: "They formed a formation, not like a defense, but a bit like an attack against our encirclement!"

Pointing to the sand table map, he said: "Your Majesty, look here. The official road goes directly to Hanoi. Hanoi is our back. From here, it is Chaoge. Once Chaoge is broken, we will be surrounded by them! "

"No way!"

Cao Cao took a deep breath: "The strength of the Ming army is there. What do they do to surround us? The encirclement is equal to the dispersion of troops. If our hundreds of thousands of troops bloom in one center, they will be gone!"

"That's why I can't figure it out!"

Guo Jia smiled: "I always feel that Emperor Mu is going to give us another surprise this time. He is a person with endless tricks, and he will always give us unique surprises!"

"is it?"

Cao Cao sneered: "I'll just wait and see!"

He thought for a while and said: "We can't wait any longer. We have to send troops, we must send troops, and we have to attack their camps. We can't give them too much time to prepare. I feel that they are a little anxious. The more anxious they are, the more anxious they are. There is a conspiracy, I can't give them too many opportunities, or I'm afraid I will regret it!"
