Chapter 522 Zhang Ning's Conspiracy
On the Iris Mountain.

The army returned, but it was a bit scattered. Many soldiers were carrying corpses, dripping with blood, and the voice of grief and indignation suppressed the audience. Even the leaders of the two armies, Zhang Liao and Huang Shao, looked a little ugly. This battle is neither a victory nor a defeat. Strategically speaking , They won because they had to go on like this, but in terms of tactics, they didn't play very well in this night battle, and the fight was chaotic.

The most important thing is that the morale of the Hanzhong Army is too strong, which is beyond their expectation.

I thought that I could break the Hanzhong army's formation in one go, and then pursue and cover up the kill, and I would definitely win a big victory, but I didn't expect that although the Hanzhong army was not as powerful as them, their morale was much stronger than them.

Only then did it cause a lose-lose situation.

"How about our casualties in this battle?"

In a large battalion, all the generals gathered to discuss post-war comfort, count the battle damage, and count the results of the battle. Mu Jing strode up from the outside, glanced at the two main generals, and asked.

The victory or defeat can be seen, the Mu army took the initiative to attack, took the initiative to call for gold and withdraw troops, occupying the rhythm of the battlefield, it cannot be the defeated army, but if it is said to be the winning side, the result depends on the casualties of the main force of the Mu army.

"Report to my lord, I, Jingping Second Army, suffered more than [-] casualties in this battle, hundreds of them were seriously injured and unable to fight!" He is also in charge of the logistics, and the casualties of various departments are under his control. He has already counted them for the first time, and he quickly stood up and reported.

"Report to my lord, the casualties of my Yellow Turban Army are around [-] soldiers!"

Huang Shao also stood up and said bitterly.

The Yellow Turban Army invested five battalions of soldiers and horses, including the three battalions of the main force led by him personally, and the two battalions led by Fei Li and Fengqiu. They were the main force for the siege. Naturally, the casualties were even worse. boned.

"After a great battle, the casualties of our army exceeded [-]. You guys really let a certain family down!" Mu Jing clutched his heart and cried out in pain. He fought in Hanzhong and killed them all the way, but he wanted to If you want to subdue others without fighting, you don't have this opportunity and ability. The number of casualties makes him feel more and more pain every time. The bottom is coming soon.

"The last general deserves death!"

All the generals panicked immediately, bowed their heads down, and bowed their hands to plead guilty.

"Forget it, the battle is imminent, so I won't settle the score with you. When the battle is over, I will settle the score with you!"

Mu Jing waved his hand, calmed down the bad breath in his heart, and asked Xunsheng: "How is the morale in the army now?"

Once the casualties are too large, it will affect morale.

This is an irreversible rule.

For example, if you find that your comrade-in-arms, Ma Ge, who was born and died, died in battle, your mood will inevitably be affected. If one is not good, under pessimism, the will to fight will be lost, causing a chain reaction, that is, morale collapse.

"Don't worry, my lord. Although this battle is a fierce battle, both sides will suffer, but our soldiers can advance and retreat freely on the battlefield, control the rhythm of the battle, as the attacking party, take advantage of it, and kill the opponent. , is victory!"

Zhang Liao cupped his hands and replied: "Under the victory, it can soothe the hearts of the soldiers. Compared with the soldiers in the army, it will not affect the morale!"

"That's good!"

Only then did Mujing heave a sigh of relief, his eyes were gloomy, and he said, "Have you thought about how to fight next?"

"Next, the Hanzhong Army will wake up!"

Huang Shao spoke first: "I think they may withdraw their troops. Of course, they must be afraid that we will not let go, so they will retreat slowly, using tricks to delay our attack and delay our time. In this way, It can achieve a goal of consuming our food and grass, although it is false that we have run out of food, it cannot be denied that our food and grass are only available for a few days, and if we do not take down the Hanzhong army, we will lose!"

"What General Huang said is right!"

Zhang Liao said: "So I think, the next step is to take the initiative to attack!"

His eyes flickered, and his expression was firm: "Up to now, there is no second way, and there is no shortcut. On the battlefield, strength is king, and when we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. As long as he dares to withdraw, I will dare to bite him and bite him hard!" They, never let them withdraw to Nanzheng!"

Although the Hanzhong Army has reinforcements in both directions in the northeast, the Mu Army has also deployed troops. The two battalions of the Yellow Turban Army Fan Xiao are placed in the east, which may not be able to stop them, but it is still possible to hold them for a while. The imperial reinforcements, the main force of Jingping's First Army are blocking them, and they want to go south unless they eat Jingping's First Army.

So Zhang Liao was not worried about the reinforcements of the Hanzhong Army. He was just thinking about whether he could eat the Hanzhong Army before the food ran out. This was the main problem.

If the Hanzhong Army cannot be defeated, no matter how the battle is deployed, no matter how many methods are used to lure the enemy, it will fall short, and the army will be defeated in the end.

"Half a day's rest, this battle, I personally lead the army to attack!"

Mu Jing stood up and said in a sharp voice.

"Master is not allowed!"

"My lord, the son of a thousand pieces of gold will not be able to sit still. You have just recovered, so you must not put yourself in danger!"

When the generals heard the words, their complexions suddenly changed, and they quickly bowed their heads to resist Mu Jing's lead.

Mu Jing was injured before, which almost shook the morale of the army. On the battlefield, let alone his little martial arts, even if he is as strong as Lu Bu and Huang Zhong, he can't say that he is safe, can he avoid open spears and hidden arrows?

"My will has been decided!"

Mu Jing said firmly: "The reason why the Hanzhong Army has such morale is nothing more than one point. Can he command all the soldiers with faith and let them have no fear in spirit? He can do it, and so can I. I just need to stand On the battlefield, I believe that when I face soldiers, my morale will not be half a point lower than theirs!"

He was in Yuanwei Mountain, but every movement on the battlefield was reported to him by observers. From the beginning to the end of the war, he was aware of any changes. The morale of the Hanzhong army was stronger than that of the Mu army. disadvantage.

Now that the battle is between victory and defeat, Mu Jing knows very well that he cannot be defeated, and must fight with all his strength, even if he goes on the field in person, he will not hesitate.

When he said this, the generals were speechless.

Both Zhang Liao and Huang Shao knew very well that Mu Jing was the spirit of the Mu army in order to bring them out of Guanzhong. The effect is quite different.

……

The iris mountain comes from the iris flower, which grows all over the back mountain. In this season, it is already spring, and the flower buds are about to bloom.

Zhang Ning wore men's clothes, as warm and moist as white jade, with his hands on his back.

A teenager stands behind him.

"Zhang Yu, are you absolutely sure that these masters and dead men of the Five Dou Rice Sect will listen to you?" Zhang Ning's voice was gentle, but murderous.

"Commander, my father has been running the business for many years. Although he lost to Zhang Lu, he just lost the impression of Hanzhong. Compared with Wudou Rice Sect, my father's prestige is unmatched!"

Zhang Yu looked at Zhang Ning's back with admiration. He only knew one thing, when he was desperate and hopeless, it was this person who appeared and saved him.

So no matter what Zhang Ning asked him to go, he would do it.

"The elders were recruited by my father back then and bestowed martial arts secret books. Even if my father is dead now, as long as I am still alive, I will come forward in person, and they will never betray!"

Zhang Yu said.

During these years in Hanzhong, Zhang Xiu has won the hearts of the people. After establishing the Five Dou Rice Sect, how could he not have some loyal soldiers?

"However, there are Tianshi Tiewei beside Zhang Lu!" Zhang Yu said: "Even if we mobilize, Tianshi Tiewei, together with the masters of Tianshi Dao, and a few traitors from Wudoumi Sect, it will be very difficult to kill him." !"

"Su Wen Tianshi Tiewei, who was once on a par with my Yellow Turban warriors of the Taiping Dao, is a dead warrior!"

Zhang Ning's big bright eyes flashed with murderous intent: "I want to see you, Zhang Yu, you go get ready and contact them. I know I want them to serve you. You should go see them in person. I'll meet you at the Hanzhong barracks tonight." them!"

"promise!"

Zhang Yu took the lead.

"Golden Nine!"

"Great Commander!" The young man stood up and stood by with his hands folded.

"From now on, the Divine Guard Army is under your command. All the soldiers in command of the Divine Guard Army must protect the lord well. The lord is the soul of the Mujun Army. If you lose something, you are the only one to ask!"

"Commander, don't you want to discuss with the lord?" Jin Jiu asked bitterly.

"No need!"

Zhang Ning raised his head, his eyes were shining brightly: "If we discuss with him, he will not allow it!"

Using the five buckets of rice to teach ghosts to assassinate, the chance of success is not great. The most important thing is that assassination is not a good thing in Mujing's mind. It is even more impossible for him to allow himself to take risks. So he wants to cut first and play later.
