Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1853 The Destroyed World War I Five

Cao Cao was silent for a while, knowing in his heart that although this was cruel, it was also true, so he did not deny Sima Yi's words. At this point, any sacrifice is worthwhile compared to the victory of this battle.

This is not a time to be softhearted.

All for victory.

He must harden his heart to make a decision, as long as there is any way to increase his chances of winning, one by one, not to mention foolproof, at least he must use his absolute strength.

Even a lion fights a rabbit with all its strength, and now he is facing a real dragon, a dragon that has ruled the world and is extremely fierce.

"The Military Order of Passing Soldiers!"

Cao Cao's eyes became firmer, and he said: "Order Yan Xingbu to withdraw from Huaishui Town and return, surprise the Ming army's rear flank, and hold down the Ming army's strength at any cost!"

He didn't think that Yan Xing would have a chance to raid the back of the Ming army. With the strength of the Ming army, it's hard to say whether he could take advantage of it, but if he could hold back some of the Ming army's strength, or less, then he would The chances of victory in the frontal battlefield are greater.

It is best to have the opportunity to break into the artillery positions of the Ming army.

Although the artillery army of the Ming army is powerful, it also has a weakness, that is, it cannot be approached. Those extremely powerful but cumbersome artillery are very difficult to move. As long as they sneak up close, they have a chance to destroy them.

Even for this reason, Yan Xingbu's entire army was wiped out, and he would not hesitate.

"Yes!"

The messenger immediately sent out the military order stamped with the king's seal through eight hundred miles of urgent secret channels.

Cao Cao looked outside the city. Although the battle was still going on, the Ming army's formation was very stable. Because of the terrain, it was impossible for the Wei army to crush more soldiers, so they could only fight a war of attrition.

He wasn't afraid to fight a war of attrition, just not now.

So he also knew that it was unrealistic to eat Ma Chao in one bite, unless he was willing to put his last troops on it.

But he didn't dare before seeing Mujing.

He could only withdraw his troops reluctantly.

"Mingjin retreat!"

Cao Cao clenched his fists tightly: "All the soldiers have withdrawn across the board. Continue to strengthen the defense of Huguan, one layer inside and one outside. Waiting for the main force of the Ming army to arrive, defend carefully, especially the artillery attack of the Ming army!"

He was most worried about the artillery of the Ming army.

The artillery attack of the Ming army was very fierce, and the defeat of Wancheng at the beginning is still vivid in my mind.

But after all, I have seen it.

Now that we have seen it, there are always tactics that can withstand one or two. No matter how powerful the weapon is, it is still a weapon. The most important thing on the battlefield is always people.

"Zhongda, go and discuss with the generals how to avoid the Ming army's artillery attack while defending, preserve absolute strength, and face Mulong Tunasi!"

Cao Cao said in a low voice.

It is not advisable to fight head-on, only tactics can be used. If there are tactics to avoid the enemy's artillery bombardment, then he will undoubtedly win this battle.

"promise!"

Sima Yi took a deep breath, feeling a little excited.

He had a good idea to deal with the artillery army of the Ming army. Although the artillery is infinitely powerful, the biggest thing is the deterrent power it produces. If this deterrent power can be weakened, it will not be defeated.

As long as it is not defeated, the artillery of the Ming army will always be gone, and then it will be their chance to fight back.

If you can fight this battle beautifully.

He, Sima Yi, has become famous all over the world.

In this world, civil servants and military generals are all seeking fame and fortune. As a scholar, Sima Yi wants to support a master and calm the world, which can be regarded as an ideal.

Of course, there are too many things involved in this, not as good as the powerful, such as ordinary people, in many cases, he can't help himself.

But it is impossible for him to join the Ming army.

Families all over the world are unwilling to become ministers, thinking that the Ming court is digging the roots of the powerful families, making the honor of their ancestors worthless from now on.

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

outside the city.

On the battlefield, the two sides fought like a meat grinder, with flesh and blood flying everywhere, the sound of shouting and killing, and the sound of gold and iron horses were completely intertwined.

Although Ma Chao is firmly in the middle army, his palms are sweating.

"Commander, the left wing is about to be opened up!"

"Press all my personal guards up!"

"Commander, the right wing can't hold back for a long time!"

"Tell them, unless they fall, hold me up and never fall at this time!"

At this time, Ma Chao knew who was more resilient.

As long as he shows a trace of weakness, then he will be bitten by the enemy like a pack of wolves, and will bite him until he dies.

And as long as he can hold on, Wei Jun must be the first to retreat.

"Tell all the ministries that we are the Divine Guard Army, His Majesty's own army, we can die in battle, and we must not lose His Majesty's face!" Ma Chao held a spear in his hand and let out a long cry: "Today, I will live or die with all the generals, or go out alive together. , or be buried here together!"

He looked up to the sky and roared: "For Daming, for Your Majesty, fight!"

"war!"

"war!"

"war!"

The morale of the Ming army rose instantly.

As His Majesty's personal army, the Divine Guard is the supreme honor and an unsullied prestige in their hearts, so each of them has the determination and courage to die on the battlefield.

"Can't take it?"

Cao Chun was a little reconciled, and all the tiger and leopard riders stepped forward.

"Continue pressing up!"

After all, Cao Ang was young, and when he was young, he seemed a little impatient. He couldn't attack for a long time, and he was already a little manic. He wanted to order all the troops to be suppressed.

But Cao Chun understood that the terrain was not suitable for them to use all their forces, so this was not an ideal approach.

"Clang clang clang!!!!!!"

At this time, there was the sound of the golden gong ringing, and the sound of the golden gong must be the signal to withdraw the troops.

"Your Majesty wants us to withdraw our troops?"

Both Cao Chun and Cao Ang were unwilling.

"withdraw troops!"

Cao Chun gritted his teeth, and said in a cold voice: "Your Majesty's military orders, no one is allowed to disobey, order to leave one battalion behind, and the rest will withdraw!"

"withdraw!"

Cao Ang was not reconciled, but he didn't dare to violate the military order, so he could only order to withdraw.

Seeing Wei Jun receding like a tide, Ma Chao, who was commanding in the middle, wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead.

The formation was almost broken.

It looks extremely strong from the outside, and it looks like Wei Jun is struggling to advance. In fact, he is already strong from the outside, and he has mobilized all the troops that can be mobilized inside.

Moreover, the casualties were too high, and the morale of the army was a little fluctuating. Even if the morale rose, if the soldiers maintained such casualties, they would still collapse.

Once the casualties exceed one-fifth, their morale will inevitably be in turmoil. After all, when countless battles have been fought one after another in the corpses, the emotions of the soldiers will also be affected.

If the Wei army continued to attack and stormed for several hours, they might break through the camp and enter.

At this time, Wei Jun's withdrawal gave him a chance to recuperate, and he seized the time to rest and reorganize his troops.

"The ministries are not allowed to go out to pursue the camp, let the enemy retreat, and then the ministries count the battle damage and rescue the wounded soldiers!"

Ma Chao issued a military order: "In addition, let the scouts out and be on guard. If you find that Wei Jun has killed a carbine, report it immediately!"

"Yes!"

The generals will listen.

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

Even though Wei Jun retreated to Huguan, Ma Chao didn't dare to be careless. He kept his spear in his hand, dared not take off his battle armor, and was always in a state of preparation for battle.

In the early morning of the next day, there was no call for troops in Huguan, and at this time, good news finally came from the rear.

"Commander, the vanguard of the Artillery Army has arrived!" The scout came to report.

"where is it?"

"Five miles away!"

"Order all the ministries to take a good rest, and the Huben Battalion will follow me to meet the Artillery Army!" The more careful it is at this time, the Artillery Army must not let something go wrong along the way.

"Yes!"

When Ma Chao led the Huben soldiers to meet the artillery army, he was truly relieved, and it was time to turn the offensive and defensive momentum.

Ma Chao is not familiar with Huangfu Jianshou, but he is not unfamiliar either. He knows that this is the son of the peerless famous general Huangfusong, and he also knows that Mujing attaches great importance to him.

It is naturally not easy to entrust such an elite artillery army to him.

"General Huangfu Zhonglang, how many red cannons have arrived at the front line now?" Ma Chao looked at Huangfu Jianshou and asked very politely.

"There are nearly [-] gates, and the rest are still behind. Although the official road is easy to walk, it is dangerous. There is no way to walk on the mountain road. Too many are stuck in the quagmire. It may take two days to slowly transport them out. !"

Huangfu Jianshou said: "However, even if two hundred cannons have been brought in, there are not many shells, and the supply battalion for transporting the shells is still behind, so far there are only less than a thousand shells!"

"Can you break the kettle?"

Ma Chao asked again.

"The cannons are powerful enough, but there are too few shells. It is far from enough to bombard Huguan, a major pass in the world. It is better to wait for the main force to arrive and bomb together. It is more likely to break through Huguan!" Huangfu Jianshou said: " Huguan is a strong city in the world, if we fight now, I don't have the confidence to break through the defenses of Huguan in one fell swoop, and I will give them a chance to fight out instead!"

"Alright!"

Ma Chao knew that he was in a hurry, he thought for a while, and said: "You guys rest first, I will send each battalion to build a defensive front around you to prevent them from making a surprise attack!"

The Artillery Army is their rare main force.

They didn't prepare any siege equipment at all this time, they just hoped that the Artillery Army could break through the extremely strong city of Huguan.

Once the artillery army loses, then the entire offensive plan will have problems.

Therefore, Ma Chao believes that protecting the Artillery Army is the most important task now.

"Ok!"

Huangfu Jianshou cupped his hands and made a big salute, saying: "There is the commander of Lao Ma!"

"You're welcome!"

Ma Chao smiled: "We are all for His Majesty Ming!"

"Yes!"

Ma Chao grinned: "For Daming, for Your Majesty!"

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

A day later, Mu Jing and Chen Dao led the new army of [-] soldiers to the front line.

When the yellow dragon flag with a black mandala pattern on a red background and black embroidery appeared outside the city, Cao Cao in the city also knew that Mu Jing had arrived in person.

Mu Jing didn't enter the camp, but went straight to the Huguan. He rode his horse and looked up at the pass city. He knew that Cao Cao was also on the top of the city.

"Bow and Arrow!"

Mu Jing let out a low snort.

"exist!"

Ma Chao personally presented the golden bow and silver arrows.

"go with!"

Mu Jing draws the bow and draws the arrow. Although he is just an ordinary warrior with inner strength, his archery is also carefully taught by the arrow god Huang Zhong, and his archery skills are not bad.

Ding!
An arrow pierced the beam above the city head.

"Take it down and have a look!"

Cao Cao remained motionless, his eyes were burning, and he stared at Mujing intently.

He knew this was a shaming of power.

"Yes!"

The guard standing next to him pulled out an arrow and handed it to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao looked at it, and there was a note tied to the arrow.

"Dare to get together!"

Four words.

This made Cao Cao a little funny: "Before the people arrive, the voice arrives first. He is trying to frighten me!"

"My lord, Emperor Mu is full of tricks, don't be fooled!"

Many generals spoke.

"Father, why don't I wait for you to meet him and see what he says!" Cao Ang also said.

Cao Cao squinted at Cao Ang, and finally shook his head: "You are not qualified enough!"

It's king to king.

Although Mujing proclaimed himself emperor, Cao Cao was also the uncrowned king of the Han Dynasty. Their status was stable, compared to the confrontation between the two imperial courts.

It would be a shame to let Cao Ang go to see him.

"Can……"

Cao Ang was a little worried.

"Gu doesn't dare to go out!" Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Mu Longtu, in fact, knows that Gu dare not go, he just wants to frighten me!"

"Then don't we have to suffer from it!"

The generals were outraged.

"Not necessarily!"

Cao Cao suddenly said, "Wenhe!"

"exist!"

"Give them a present!"

"Yes!"

Jia Xu bowed to accept the order.

"Boom!" Soon, a shell flew across the void and fell into the outskirts of the city. With a roar, the Ming army was forced to retreat.

"Our artillery?"

Mu Jing is not afraid, he knows how powerful his own artillery is, but he is a little surprised.

"It should have been captured when Huguan retreated!"

Huangfu Jianshou's face was livid.

"The general is guilty, please punish him!" Huangfu Jianshou knelt down and begged for guilt.

"never mind!"

Mu Jing waved his hand and smiled: "If I give him an arrow, and he shoots me, then it's considered clear, this is immortality!"

His arrow is bound to be won, and he will go forward without hesitation.

Cao Cao returned the cannonball, which told him that he would burn everything, and he would not hesitate.

"Return to camp, discuss tactics, and prepare to attack!"

Mu Jing waved his hand, turned around and left.

"Yes!"

The generals then returned to camp.

………………

When the city gate was closed, the generals of the Wei army were also dumbfounded.

"My lord, when will we have artillery?"

Some generals couldn't help but ask.

They have all experienced the artillery attack of the Ming army, and the scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere is vivid in their minds. Even if they start a war, they still feel a little scared.

But I didn't expect that my own home also had artillery.

"The Ming army has it, and we have it too!"

Cao Cao said with a smile: "In this battle, I have fought against the Ming army to the death, so please encourage me!"

"It's time to fight!"

"It's time to fight!"

All the soldiers were furious and shouted in unison, the sound waves converged and poured into the sky.

The pain they were suppressed by the artillery at the beginning turned into motivation in an instant. Since they also have artillery at home, why are they afraid of the Ming army? It's just a fight.

Sima Yi smiled bitterly. He knew that Cao Cao was doing this to boost the morale of the army. The so-called artillery was only a few captured, and only a few shells.

Even if you want to configure shells, there is no way to configure them.

Empty artillery is useless.

But it was a good shot.

The low morale of the Wei army and the fear of the Ming army's artillery were all affected by this artillery, which slowed down a lot. At least they had a lot of fighting spirit.

So they still have a chance of winning.
