Chapter 1852 The Destructive World War I IV

Mu Jing could hope that Wei Jun could come out of Huguan, but he knew that Cao Mengde was not a person who took risks easily, he was a hero who was proficient in tactics and strategy.

So even if the Wei army wants to test the main force of the Ming army and can fight out of the city, there will be room for it, and it will not be too much, and it will not be time to burn the boat.

As for Ma Chao.

Although the main force led by Ma Chao would indeed be a little dangerous, after all, if Cao Cao didn't take a bite of the prey in front of him, he would be a ghost.

And this time is the time to test Ma Chao.

Ma Chao's troops are not many, he needs to resist the most elite troops of the Wei army. Even though Mujing thinks highly of him, he can't jump high.

For Ma Chao, Mu Jing still has great expectations. This Five Tiger General who has been somewhat depressed in history is actually no worse than anyone else.

No matter in personal martial arts, or in strategy and tactics, and command ability, Ma Chao is very capable in all aspects. Apart from his personality being too proud, he is a comprehensive general.

But ability is one thing, and being able to seize opportunities is another.

Historically, Liu Bei did not give Ma Chao too many opportunities, but now, Mu Jing wants to give him more opportunities and let him display his talents.

"Send Chen to arrive, move forward quickly!"

Mu Jing raised his head, glanced at the setting sun that was about to set in the sky, and said in a low voice: "I want to go to Huguan as soon as possible!"

No matter what, quick battles and quick decisions are still the core of this battle. We can't wait. The longer we wait, the more uncertain things will become. After all, there will be hundreds of thousands of soldiers fighting on the main battlefield, and no one can guarantee that there will be no surprises.

Even if Mu Jing had more confidence in Zhang Liao and Xi Zhicai, he couldn't guarantee whether they would capsize in the gutter. Besides, the enemy generals Guo Jia, Lu Bu, Xia Houyuan, and Cao's generals, none of them could be underestimated.

No matter how good the layout is in advance, the changes in the situation are always beyond the control of people. Some small factors will lead to the reversal of the abnormal battle.

So he has to be fast.

Only when he resolves the battle can this decisive battle come to an end.

"Yes!"

A messenger goes to deliver the order.

"Your Majesty, what about Huaishui Town?"

At this time, Xu Shu was a little worried about the rear.

The location of Huaishui Town is between Huguan and the eldest son city, and there is still Yan Xing's troops in Huaishui Town. In the current situation, Huguan is attacked by the Ming army. It is difficult to guarantee that Yan Xing will not move. Once Yan Xing Return to the division and attack their rear.

That's a bit of a hassle.

This is not a joke.

Even with the absolute combat power of the new army, for the current Ming army, it is only a person who has output, but will never have too strong a defense.

Offensive is fine, but once attacked by close quarters, it is a complete crispy skin. After all, new weapons are better at output from long range.

"I believe in Samoco!"

Mu Jing was silent for a while.

This war is a game of chess, and the game of chess is sometimes a game of gambling. The overall situation is a grand strategy, while local wars rely on tactics.

More need to rely on people.

One person cannot win a war, just like on a chessboard, each chess piece has its own role, and in this line of battle, Shamoco's Sun and Moon Second Army occupies an important position.

Shamoke, the barbarian king of Wuxi, is still somewhat capable, and he has been conscientious over the years, and even if the numbers of the soldiers and horses he leads have changed, the fundamentals have not changed.

If the clansmen of the Wuxi Man burst out, they would have a very strong fighting power. Not to mention holding back Yan Xing, it is not impossible to eat Yan Xing if they have a chance.

Sha Moke also received the news at this time, and he knew very well in his heart the importance of holding back Yan Xing's troops, and he would do his best.

In the layout of this chess game, Mu Jing placed his rear in Huaishui Town, and the defense of Huaishui Town was handed over to the Sun and Moon Second Army, that is, he chose Shamoke, and also put his rear Give it to Sha Moke, if he loses the bet, he is willing to bear the consequences.

When Xu Shu heard the words, he didn't say much. Mu Jing chose to believe in Sha Moke, he chose to believe in Mu Jing, and he believed that Mu Jing's judgment was never wrong.

"His Majesty!"

Tan Zong said suddenly: "I have already figured out the deployment of troops in Huguan, and I have also obtained the distribution map of the march, but..."

"Say!"

Mu Jing narrowed his eyes.

"Sima Yi and Jia Xu are very difficult to deal with. I'm afraid our troop deployment plan is wrong!"

Tan Zong is in this line of work, and he understands the truth that what is not obtained is not the most dangerous thing, everything unknown is possible, but the most dangerous thing is that what is obtained is indeed false.

This trick is called confusion.

He used it too.

But this time the time was a bit tight, and he managed to find out the strength of Huguan troops, and even where the troops of Huguan were deployed.

However, it was too simple, and there were Jia Xu and a troublesome Sima Yi in Huguan, so he couldn't help doubting himself.

"so!"

Tan Zongdao: "I suspect that there are elite troops hidden in Huguan that we don't know about!"

"is it possible?"

Hearing this, Mu Jing frowned slightly.

It's not that he looked down on Cao Cao, just like how many troops the Ming army had, Cao Cao had an account in his heart, and how many troops the Wei army had, he also knew in his heart.

It is possible to hide three to five thousand troops, but it is impossible to hide tens of thousands of troops.

Now the strength of the Wei army has been revealed.

Cao Cao still has troops there.

"It's really possible!"

Xu Shu thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, the Wei army was defeated in the battle of Wancheng, but in fact, we later thought that the news we got back did not match the casualties of the Wei army. In addition, Cao Mengde also had two troops under his command. There has been no news about Jing Rui, if he is in Huguan, then it makes sense, after all, King Wei is also a person who pays great attention to his own safety, and he sent the main force out for a decisive battle when he was vigilant, which shows that he has background and support!"

"Two troops?"

Mu Jing asked: "What kind of troops?"

"I know this!" Tan Zong responded: "One is called Mojinying, and the other is called Faqiu Army. They are not many troops, but they are comparable to the elite of the Divine Guard Army, and they are the absolute descendants of Cao Cao. The generals of the horses rarely show up in the Wei army, and I don't have much news about them, I only know that they are Cao Cao's absolute confidantes, and up to now, the news returned by various ministries, indeed, there is no trace of them now!"

"General Faqiu Zhonglang, Captain Mojin, it seems that the rumors are true!"

Hearing this, Mu Jing couldn't help but smile.

It is said that Cao Mengde is the ancestor of the tomb robbery world, and it is known how much he likes the treasures buried in the ground just by looking at the two mysterious and secret armies he created for military rations.

"What rumor?" Tan Zong and Xu Shu asked quickly.

"nothing!"

Mu Jing waved his hand, and said: "Even if he has hidden troops, he is on the verge of attacking now, and he has no choice but to attack... Tan Zong!"

"exist!"

"Since you have doubts, go and find out them. I can reach Huguan in two days at most, and your time is running out!" Mu Jing said coldly: "It's still the same sentence, raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while, now it's time It's time for Jing Wusi's dark men to come in handy, for this battle, and for the peace of the world, I will give up anything!"

This is the cruelty that he must bear as an emperor. For the sake of the overall situation, he must give up everything in order to achieve great things and rebuild a peaceful and prosperous world.

"promise!"

Tan Zong surrendered and took the order.

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

Just as Mujing was advancing, a fierce battle had already started under the city of Huguan.

"Report!"

"Speak!" Standing on the observation platform, Ma Chao was wearing a battle armor and holding a telescope, watching the formation of the Wei army appearing in front of him.

"After the troops of the Wei army came out of Huguan, they did not go straight to our army, but were encircling us from the left and right wings, intending to encircle and wipe out the main force of our army!"

"Explore again!"

"Yes!"

"Come on!"

"exist!"

"Pass down the order, each battalion will form a defensive battle formation according to the original plan, and tell the battalion captains that the core of this battle is to entangle!"

It is impossible to counterattack. He knows the strength of his troops, and he also knows the elite fighting power of the Wei army. What he needs at this time is to hold back.

So he chooses to fight.

Fighting is also skillful. If you want to be entangled without being dragged to death, you have very high requirements in terms of tactics.

Even if the tactics are formulated, the demand for the ability to command the general is very high. Even if it is a small mistake, it is not a fight, but sending oneself to the door to be slaughtered.

"Yes!"

The orderly quickly passed on the military order.

"Report!"

Soon the scouts came to report again: "The Huben Battalion on the left wing has been attacked and has retreated to the first line of defense. The battle damage exceeds 120 soldiers!"

"Continue to retreat to the second line of defense!"

"Yes!"

"Report!"

The battle has already started, and the news came one after another: "On the right wing, our army encountered an onslaught of enemy cavalry, and the Imperial Guard Battalion has withdrawn, but in the eyes of the battle damage, it is recuperating!"

"Commander Shuiying, block it!"

"Yes!"

"In addition, order Hu Ben to immediately withdraw from the current position, abandon the defense on the left wing, gather troops, form a large round shield formation, and defend the middle camp for twelve hours!"

"Yes!"

"Order to shoot!" Ma Chao was very calm. Now was not the time to fight back. What he wanted was time. If he delayed the time, he won the opportunity.

The Shenwei Army originally had five battalions of the main force, not counting as the Shenwei Battalion, there were Imperial Guards, Huben, Changshui, and Yueqi.

Later, with the support of Mu Jing, Ma Chao personally took charge of the military power and expanded the two battalions.

The main force of the seven battalions.

The two battalions are the Yulin, and the sound is shot.

Among the main forces of the Seventh Battalion, the Divine Guards were to protect Mujing's safety and would not move even if the sky fell. The Yueqi Battalion attacked with the Ma Chao at the beginning, and suffered serious battle damage. The only remaining cavalry could no longer become the main force of the first battalion. , is now regarded as Ma Chao's personal guards, led by Ma Chao himself, but there are only a few hundred troops left.

Yulinying stayed in Yudu City.

The Shesheng is also considered to be the most powerful battalion in the entire army. The Shesheng battalion is usually shield soldiers, usually archers. The shield soldiers are responsible for guarding, and the archers are responsible for attacking.

This is a battalion with offensive and defensive integration and strong combat effectiveness.

At present, Ma Chao has only three battalions of Huben, Imperial Guard, Changshui, and Shesheng, with less than [-] main forces, and only [-] soldiers in total.

But definitely an elite soldier.

After all, the Divine Guard is to defend the existence of the central imperial court. Every soldier is an elite selected from various ministries, and the chief general is a strong general like Ma Chao. After Ma Chao took over, he had a brave spirit.

"Yes!"

When the messengers rushed to pass the orders, Ma Chao stared at the front again. He knew that this was just a prelude. Now that the drums were beating, the Wei army must be the main force to attack.

Then comes the hardest time to hold on.

"Commander, the scouts have just sent news that a force has appeared behind us!"

A middle-aged man walked up and was defeated.

"Where did the troops come from?"

"It should have come out of the Huguan Pass, but they forcibly bypassed it!" The middle-aged man was Liang Xing, the favorite general of Ma Chao's subordinates, and now one of the generals in the Divine Guard.

"Is this trying to block a certain family's back road?" Ma Chao sneered.

"Commander, I think the whole city might come out. They want to destroy us first, so that even if His Majesty's main force arrives, they can calmly deal with it!"

Liang Xing said.

"Ha ha!"

Ma Chao sneered, and a look of determination appeared in his pupils: "If this is the case, then we will risk our lives to fight. We have belonged to Daming for so long and have not achieved a decent battle. Your Majesty has high hopes for me. How can you let him down!"

His fighting spirit exploded quickly: "Send the order, the troops on the rear wing will withdraw, if they want to attack, let them attack from the rear wing!"

Their positions are well chosen, and the back is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and because it is too narrow, it is impossible to attack quickly.

So even if he lets go of the rear wing, it will not affect his defense. The Wei army can only block the rear wing at most, otherwise the Ming army will retreat, and it will be too difficult to attack.

"Yes!"

Liang Xing took the order.

"Since we're here, I'll play with you!" Ma Chao took a deep breath. He didn't underestimate Wei Jun, but he fought with the idea of ​​sacrificing his life for benevolence, and was not afraid of anyone.

………………

The Wei army attacked repeatedly, but was turned back by the Ming army, which made Cao Cao very angry.

"Five times the strength of the attack, but they still can't defeat them?"

Cao Cao angrily reprimanded the generals: "You let Gu very disappointed!"

"Your Majesty calm down!"

All the generals knelt down on the ground tremblingly.

"Humph!"

Cao Cao jumped up against the case: "I'll give you another half a day, if you can't take down Ma Chao, come and see me!"

"Yes!"

Cao Chun and Cao Ang walked out of the middle camp with a livid face.

In the tent, the atmosphere was a bit cold and silent.

At this time, Cao Cao relaxed his dark expression, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It seems that this Xiliang horse is really difficult to deal with?"

Although this battle was an all-out formation, he knew in his heart that the troops he mobilized were only on the surface. If there were ten days and a half months, it would not be difficult to take down Ma Chao.

But now, it's normal to not be able to hold it.

However, the tenacity shown by Ma Chao made him a little regretful. It was a pity that such a talent could not command his subordinates.

"My lord, the horses in Xiliang are indeed not simple. Their formation is impeccable, and the terrain chosen is also very good. Our army's main force cannot be deployed!"

Sima Yi cupped his hands and said.

"Zhongda, at this moment, is Mulongtu sharpening his sword and slashing at Gu?" Cao Cao asked with a gloomy expression as he paced back and forth.

"The news from Yelou shows that the Artillery Army has indeed appeared, but Emperor Mu's troops are at the end, but I still can't figure it out. Where did Emperor Mu come from for his determination!"

Sima Yi said: "Based on the current situation, he has at most [-] troops, and even [-] are not enough. Will he be able to defeat us with only artillery?"

"Then you underestimate the picture of the shepherd dragon. I dare say that this beast must have some support, but what the support is, it's hard to say!"

Cao Cao also couldn't understand Mu Jing's thoughts, so he also seemed a little nervous, but at this moment, the arrow was on the string and he had to shoot, he didn't dare to back down.

In this battle, no matter what, he will fight Mu Jing face to face, even in the face of these artillery, he will not hesitate.

"Attack for another three hours, and we will retreat!" Sima Yi said suddenly.

"why?"

"As soon as the artillery army arrives, they will attack Huguan. We must make arrangements in advance. We can still counterattack the Ming army after losing the terrain of Huguan!"

Sima Yi said softly: "At this time Ma Mengqi is not important anymore!"

"It's better to cut off one finger than to hurt his ten fingers, you said!" Cao Cao was a little unwilling.

"Can it be broken?" Sima Yi asked back.

"Is there no way?" Cao Cao still wanted to kill Ma Chao first.

"My lord, if the situation changes and we don't withdraw our troops, then we will put ourselves in front of Emperor Mu as a target, and then he can fight as he wants!"

Sima Yi reminded.

"All right!"

Even though Cao Cao was not reconciled, he did not dare to take such a risk. Before he saw Mu Jing, he would still take it easy, because he was afraid of Mu Jing.

When it comes to the real decisive battle, he can go all out, after all, if he doesn't, he will be waiting for a dead end in the end. At this point, he dare not retreat.

"and also!"

Sima Yi suddenly said: "Your Majesty, can you let Yan Xing withdraw?"

"now?"

"Ok!"

"In this case, ordering Yan Xing to withdraw his troops will definitely cause a lot of damage!"

"It's worth it!" Sima Yi said lightly: "As long as he withdraws, even if he loses half of his troops, or even loses two-thirds of his troops, it will be worth it, because as long as he withdraws, the main force of the Ming army will be destroyed." If everyone is affected, only the king wins, and we will be considered as victorious in this war!"
