Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 515 Deduction of Battle Situation
In the second year of Chuping, at the end of the first month, the temperature has begun to warm up, and the ice and snow have gradually melted.

Under Nanzheng City.

During the confrontation between the two armies, the atmosphere was treacherous.

Two days ago, the Mu army had crossed the city of Nanshui Township, and directly approached the city. Tens of thousands of main forces stretched for several miles.

However, just such a powerful array outside the city, and the momentum of the siege, is enough to make even the cute people in the city become worried.

"According to the time, they have been in formation for more than two days. It stands to reason that even if they were not prepared before, they should have prepared a lot of offensive equipment now. If they are impatient, it will take a day or two at most. It's time for them to attack us!"

Zhang Lu was wearing armor and holding a sword, standing on the top of the city, looking at the outside of the city, outside the moat, people's heads were rushing, their steps were trampling, and the overwhelming momentum, even he had three points of fear.

Mu Jun is not an ordinary person, and Jing Ping under his command is an elite in all battles.

Above the imperial court, the heroes of the Kwantung who fought in the past could not hold their heads up, and they were undefeated across the whole of Guanzhong.

Moreover, he has already experienced the lesson. The defeat of Shangyong and the loss of Xicheng gave him a direct impression of Mu Jun's strength.

With such an elite army, Chen Bing looked down at them from outside the city, so he couldn't help being frightened.

But he was very calm and composed: "Every department is ready to defend!"

"promise!"

The generals stood behind Zhang Lu, bowed and nodded.

The defense has been prepared for more than a day or two. With the strength of Nanzheng City, they are not afraid that someone will be able to take down this city.

"Taiping!"

Zhang Lu's eyes fell on Yang Ang, looked at him taciturn, and said with a smile: "Are you still annoyed, why did you get you out of Nanshui Township?"

Yang Ang, courtesy name Taiping.

He raised his head, met Zhang Lu's gaze, cupped his hands and said, "Master, I can hold Nanshui, as long as we hold Nanshui for ten days and half a month, if they want to approach the city, they can only take a detour. At that time, if his momentum is broken, he can be forced to withdraw his troops. Now that Nanshui is lost, they have Nanshui Township as their foundation, and they can besiege the city for several months without any problems. The general really doesn't understand!"

"I know you don't understand!"

Zhang Lu smiled slightly, and said: "But you will soon understand that the purpose of asking you to withdraw is because you don't want to be head-on. My soldiers and horses have been damaged too much. Now the soldiers that can be used are only [-] to [-], except for Zhang Lu. Ying, only your elite subordinates have entangled with them for the sake of a Nanshui town, I don’t know!”

"But since this is the case, isn't Nanzheng in danger!" Yang Ang said.

"It's not us who are at stake!"

Zhang Lu shook his head, looked down, and said coldly: "It's just them who want to take Hanzhong from me, they are beyond their control!"

"Master Master, the news is back!"

At this time, Yan Pu came up from the bottom of the city, cupped his hands and said, "Zhang Yingpo looked at the Shiquan Pavilion and burned all their grain stores. Now, the key point is to press the stone spring when entering, and enter the Han River when retreating, unless they withdraw their troops on a large scale. , otherwise the food supply will be blocked!"

"Is this true?"

Zhang Lu's eyes widened. Although he was confident, he did not guarantee victory in this battle. Now that the battle was successful, he became ecstatic.

"The secret letter sent back by Zhang Ying himself is absolutely correct!"

Yan Pu said: "Since yesterday, Mu Jun has been out of food!"

"it is good!"

Zhang Lu laughed loudly: "Zhang Ying did a good job!"

"Food Road?"

"Mu Jun's supply route has been cut off!"

"Great!"

"Then the army under their command may be forced to die by us in the city!"

"It's time to fight back!"

"Let them be so arrogant. In less than half a year, they have smashed several cities in Hanzhong, killing us so that we have no power to fight back. Today, we finally have the opportunity to settle the old and new grudges!"

"When they run out of food and grass, we will kill them, and we must not let them escape!"

"They must be kept!"

When the generals heard the conversation between Zhang Lu and Yan Pu, their hearts suddenly cleared up. After peeking at each other, their expressions were overjoyed. They had already understood Zhang Lu's plan, and they all became excited. An opportunity to vent, suddenly became filled with righteous indignation.

"It's no wonder Master Shijun asked me to let go of Nanshui Township. It turned out to be to lure the enemy to go deep. Master Shijun is brilliant, I don't know yet!"

At this moment, Yang Ang's resentment was all gone, and his eyes sparkled.

"Everyone, don't be impatient!"

There is also a smile on Zhang Lu's face, but he is a celestial master after all. The Mujun dogs jump over the wall in a hurry and attack our Nanzheng, if they break Nanzheng, our lives will be lost!"

"Master, don't worry!"

Yang Ang stepped forward, bowed his hands and saluted, his words were firm and confident: "As long as a certain family is at the top of the city for one day, any soldier under his bandit's command should not even set foot on the top of the city!"

He is good at defending, not just talking about it, with such a force, reserves in the city, and the height of the city wall, if he can't defend Nanzheng City, he will be killed by a headshot.

"The power of peace, I naturally believe in it!"

Zhang Lu nodded: "Send another scout out of the city to keep an eye on the movements of the Mu army."

"promise!"

The generals nodded.

"This time, a certain family wants his head of Mulongtu to pay homage to Yang Bai and Zhang Wei's spirits in heaven!" Zhang Lu stared down, with a murderous intent in his eyes.

…………

……

Nanshui Township.

Several craftsmen accompanying the army were stacking sand tables. Mu Jing personally ordered the craftsmen to start with a drawing. A prototype of a three-dimensional sand table with a length of five feet, a width of three feet, and a height of about half a foot had appeared.

"There should be a small river here, pave it with blue mud!"

"The distance of this small road is wrong. According to the comparison on the map, mark the distance, and it must be accurate enough. Looking at the numbers on the map, the difference is thousands of miles, which will directly affect the strategic deployment!"

"The surrounding mountains have to be figured out. The high ones and the low ones must be consistent. In addition, the roads of the mountain streams can be marked, so try to come out!"

"..."

Mu Jing handed over all the deployment of the campaign to Zhang Liao and the others, so he was naturally free. After he was free, he thought about making a sand table. It is easy to make a sand table, but it takes effort to be comprehensive and accurate.

"My lord, this is the topographic map sent back by the scouts from the east in the morning, from the northern suburbs of Nanzheng!" a soldier reported.

"where to put this!"

"promise!"

"My lord, the survey in the south, the terrain is complicated, and there are many branches of the Han River, it will take time!" Another person reported.

"Tell them to hurry up. I need to know the most clear terrain distribution in Nanzheng, which is a circle of hundreds of miles in the south, east, west, and north. There is no mistake or chaos!"

"promise!"

After working on the sand table for several days, in the afternoon, Mujing was able to make a preliminary figure out, but there are still some detailed terrains that have not yet been marked.

But enough to deduce the situation.

evening.

Mu Jing summoned Li Yan and more than ten army advisers.

In one army, the chief will be the general, and in the other battalion, the lieutenant will be the chief, but there are many lieutenants and advisers around them, who are advising them. Whoever is the chief general will recruit advisers and staff to strengthen their own brains group.

There is also a think tank beside Mu Jing, which used to be dominated by Xi Zhicai and Hu Zhao, but with the expansion of the Minghou Mansion, now they all hold important positions.

He still understood the reason why the three cobblers were better than Zhuge Liang.

The thinking of one person can never compare with the thinking of a group of people.

Therefore, if he wants to deduce, he still needs to use all available people. Now Li Yan is the main one, and he has summoned a lot of advisers around Zhang Liao, Huang Shao and others in the army.

"Everyone, the battle is imminent, the main general is on the front line, and we can't be left here. A certain person wants to know the changes on the battlefield. Now a certain person is defending the Nanzheng army, and the strength of the troops has increased. Let's say that there are [-] troops. Wait for our army Soldiers, in order to attack one side, we tried our best to deduce it, and Wen Yuan has already told you about the grand strategic deployment, and based on this, you can use all the strategies you can use!"

Mujing handed over the strategic deployment to Zhang Liao, but he had to fully control the changes on the battlefield. Although Zhang Liao was handsome, he was still not the famous Zhang Wenyuan in Xiaoyaojin in the future, he had to watch from behind.

This battle is a battle to seize the foundation, and there is no room for right or wrong.

"This topographic map is really detailed!"

Li Yan's eyes fell on the sand table, and he couldn't help sighing: "Nanzheng's terrain, you can see it at a glance!"

"I've done it for several days, but I don't want you to praise me!"

Mu Jing shook his head: "Zhengfang, you are Wen Yuan's lieutenant general, he should know something about Wen Yuan's deployment, tell me!"

"promise!"

Li Yan nodded, he stood up, and after walking around the sand table, he took a trace of thoughts in his mind: "General Zhang Liao intends to follow his plan and lure the enemy to attack, so he will never attack the city!"

"But how can it be so easy to lure the enemy to attack? He must have a plan!"

"Now it is deployed in secret, only the general will know!"

"Let me stand in the position of General Zhang Liao, based on his success in planning, and deduce it. Since he moves on the grain and grass, he will definitely attract the attention of the city. If he attacks in the city, then..."

"The main force of the Yellow Turban Army is divided into two parts, on the left and right sides, with the Han River on the left and the northern suburbs on the right. It is actually encircling!"

"The main force of Jingping's second army is the fifth battalion. The fifth battalion is always at the forefront. It is the battalion to lure the enemy. Once the city attacks, retreat ten miles back, and a semi-arc-shaped encirclement will be formed! "

"..."

Li Yan spoke very carefully, constantly deducing Zhang Liao's deployment.

"If I pursue the fifth battalion and send out a main force along the Han River, how can you encircle our army!" Mu Jing is now standing in the position of Nanzheng City to deduce, said with a smile.

"How difficult is this!"

One person stood up and pointed to the sand table and said: "Although the Han River can come out, the landing cannot be found. If they want to go to the ferry and attack our army, they can only go in these two directions, one is Baishuidu, and the other is Beilinkou. Living in the position of two people, Hanshui is no longer a concern!"

This is a literary official next to Huang Shao of the Yellow Turban Army, a scholar, good at the art of war. When Huang Shao was enlisting the soldiers in Guanzhong to expand the southern army, he was recruited into his account. Later, the Guanzhong army mutinied, and most of the soldiers in Guanzhong escaped, but he stayed.

Han Zhen, Han Feiyang, students from a poor family, were also students of the Hongdu School back then.

"Feiyang hits the nail on the head!"

Mu Jing smiled. He was familiar with this young scholar. After all, forcibly recruiting soldiers from Guanzhong was unpopular. .

"My lord is too famous!" Han Zhen said modestly.

"Okay, as you said, let you pinch the road to the shore of the Han River, and I will give up the Han River, but it is not easy for you to surround me!" Mu Jing pointed to the positions in front and behind the city wall: "The half-arc encirclement circle , There is always a gap, the gap is just the city wall, I can attack when I advance, pay attention to the changes on the battlefield, and retreat into the city wall!"

"In this battle, as long as I stay within a hundred steps of the city wall, I will already be invincible!"

Mujing said forcefully.

"invincible position?"

A Lang Lang's voice sounded: "My lord is too confident in them. With their Hanzhong army, it is impossible to remain invincible!"

"Wen Yuan?"

Mu Jing raised his head and saw that the person who came in was Zhang Liao.

Every day after nightfall, Zhang Liao would come back from the front line and report the situation of the battle to Mujing. After their deduction, the time passed quickly and it was already dark outside.

"Good job!"

Mu Jing waved his hand and said: "As for the deployment of troops for the siege of Nanzheng, no one is at your side now, the strategy customization and the distribution of troops are all handled by you, you attack and I defend, so I will be Zhang Lu once." , see if you can break my Nanzheng Wall!"

"As ordered!"

Zhang Lu nodded, looked at the sand table, and thought for a moment: "My lord, why don't we raise the bet!"

"Have you taken a fancy to someone next to someone?" Mu Jing said angrily.

Zhang Lu has snatched all those who can be used around him in the past few days. He gave him the Shangfang sword. Now under the command of Zhang Ning.

"The size of this sand table is exhaustive, and it is suitable for our army's strategic deployment. I don't know if the lord will be willing to give up!"

"You really dare to speak!"

Mu Jing said angrily: "Do you know how much thought I have put into building this sand table!"

"Could it be that the lord doesn't have the confidence to win against someone!" Zhang Liao exclaimed.

"Well, you Zhang Wenyuan, it really made you go crazy!"

Mu Jing directly fell into the trick: "I bet!"

He stood up and pushed his hands: "Everyone's retreat is impressive. In this battle, Zhang Wenyuan and I will deduce the outcome, and you will decide the outcome!"

"promise!"

Everyone step aside.

Mujing and Zhang Liao are separated on two sides. The red flag is in charge of Mujing, and the blue flag is in charge of Zhang Liao. One flag is one song, and the strength of troops is based on the flag. Insert the flag to advance, pull out the flag to retreat. On this big sand table, the two began to play games up.

"The news about Shi Quan must have gone back. I'll add another fire to the camp outside the city. The water will catch fire. Are you tempted?"

"Only by being patient can we win the war. I will stand still!"

"Very good, I guess you won't move easily, but at this time, I continue to move, and suddenly retreat ten miles, the tent is not moving, but the soldiers and horses are empty, are you worried?"

"You must send out scouts and explore the surroundings!"

"What if the camp is found to be empty?" Zhang Liao turned on fire and took out the banner of the camp he had set up.

"Send troops to feign an attack, be careful in probing!"

"How about I retreat another ten miles and give up Nanshui Township?"

"Bite hard!"

"..."
