Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 643

At dawn, a round of red sun secretly jumped out from the horizon, and the morning glow reflected the earth.

Hechi County.

The battle that came with the raid was over.

Although Mu Jing wanted to take the city with the slightest casualties, the Xiliang army was always the Xiliang army, extremely brave, even if they had the upper hand and rushed in while they were asleep, they still encountered a fierce counterattack.

In a big battle, although all the defenders in the city were wiped out, it also caused a lot of damage to the Zhanhu Camp.

"My lord, the county magistrate of Hechi led a group of county soldiers to escape from the city from the west!"

Scout report.

"It seems that the time for this battle was not seized, so it was not successful in the end!" Mu Jing sighed, he was short of soldiers and horses, so it was impossible for him to besiege the city without spreading the news. I've prepared myself, but I'm still a little uncomfortable.

"My lord, I will lead my troops to chase after them, and I will definitely kill them on the way to report the letter!" Battalion Sima Han Xian begged for orders: "Never let the news of this battle leak out!"

"There's no need for that!"

Mu Jing shook his head.

When he started to order a surprise attack on Hechi, the whole strategy of attacking Xiabian had already started. After Hechi was captured, he knew that he would not be able to hide the news. Even if he could control the whole city, the news would leak out.

It's too close here.

"My lord, if you let them report the letter, it will definitely alarm Xiabian!" Lei Hu also wanted to pursue, but this battle was not going well, and there was a manic fire in his heart, and he wanted to vent it.

"It's inevitable to start a debate!" Mu Jing said softly: "At this time, do more and make more mistakes. Caution is the most important thing. There can be no action to divide the troops. Only by gathering all the troops can we fight a victorious battle!"

After all, Xiabian is Zhang Ji's lair.

The troops stationed here are the best from Xiliang, and if they are not careful, the entire army will be wiped out.

Mu Jing glanced around, and said in a deep voice: "First clean the battlefield with all your strength, then take a rest, count the casualties and battle damage, and then replenish logistics and food on the spot. During this process, you only have three hours. Before noon, we will break camp!"

Soldiers are very fast.

What he wants is speed.

Even if Xiabian knew that Hechi had fallen, he might not have expected that he would rush to Xiabian so quickly, it was a surprise.

"promise!"

Leihu and Han Xian led the way.

…………

Xiabian City.

The main force of the Xiliang army went out, and the general who stayed behind was Lei Xu. Lei Xu was one of the few generals under Zhang Ji who could stand on his own. He was deeply trusted by Zhang Xiuzhi. Wudu.

It was already noon when Lei Xu received the news from Hechi.

"Captain, something is wrong, Hechi was captured by unknown forces!"

"what?"

In the lobby, his long and narrow eyes widened, staring at Hechi County Magistrate Feng Jin: "Feng Jin, are you telling the truth?"

"General Lei, subordinates dare not lie!"

Feng Jin escaped in embarrassment, his hairpin fell down, his hair was disheveled, he knelt down, and said with a wry smile: "In the early morning tonight, a group of soldiers and horses of unknown origin suddenly came and attacked our Hechi. Their attack was extremely fierce, less than half The city had already been breached in two hours, and the hundreds of Xiliang soldiers guarding the river pond were completely annihilated. Although our county soldiers fought hard, they were not as strong. Only by breaking out with difficulty did I escape with my life!"

"What about Jiang Tong?"

Lei Xu asked loudly.

Jiang Tong was a military marquis under his command. He led five hundred soldiers under his command to guard Hechi. Since Hechi was lost, Jiang Tong might be in danger.

"I'm afraid they have already been beheaded!" Feng Jin said: "When our county soldiers entered the battlefield, the city wall had already been breached, and basically none of the Xiliang soldiers escaped, and the entire army was wiped out!"

"Damn!"

Lei Xu became a little annoyed, his gloomy face exuded hostility and murderous intent: "Who the hell, in this military capital, who has the ability to capture our Hechi?"

In Wudu, there were not too many bandits. After all, the Xiliang army's home field was backed by Chang'an in the north, and Zhang Ji had already managed it as an iron bucket.

"The subordinates don't know!"

Feng Jin himself was still in a daze, and he was suddenly attacked in the middle of the night. If he hadn't reacted quickly, didn't get entangled with it, and led the county soldiers to break through without saying a word, he might have died in Hechi: "The subordinates only know , this group of bandits attacking our Hechi is very powerful, they have at least seven or eight thousand soldiers!"

He was exaggerating. In fact, he didn't see the strength of the Mu army, and he didn't even go to the battlefield, so he ran for his life.

But if it is not an exaggeration, I am afraid that today's test will not be easy.

"And their goal is definitely not the Hechi. The Hechi is just a small town. If there is any importance, there is only one possibility. To defend the safety of the east side. Now the Hechi has been lost, and the east side is flat!"

Feng Jin's analysis started in hindsight: "Their purpose must be to argue!"

"Seven or eight thousand?"

When Lei Xu heard this number, he couldn't help but look at Feng Jin suspiciously.

Zhang Ji was airborne in Wudu. Although Wudu is also Xiliang, it is too far away from Xiliang, so even for the Xiliang army, the locals are somewhat xenophobic.

So they don't trust the locals very much.

Of course, Lei Xu didn't doubt Feng Jin's intentions. Zhang Ji was powerful, and the Xiliang army was brave and good at fighting. Under the suppression, the local gentry and aristocrats in Wudu would never dare to resist, whether they were willing or not.

Lei Xu just discounted his words. After all, these literati and scholars all hope to show their abilities by exaggerating.

"Last year, Lord Taishou has invited the entire Wudu to be suppressed. There are no bandits with such strong strength in Wudu!"

Lei Xu didn't refute Feng Jin, just according to what Feng Jin said, he just made a discount in his heart, but he thought that the troops capable of conquering Hechi would not be too small. After analyzing it, his eyes suddenly burst into coldness. Mang: "Could it be Hanzhong?"

"Master Captain, our spies are keeping a close eye on Yangping Pass. If there is any movement, we should have reported it long ago!"

The lieutenant general stood beside Lei Xu, heard Lei Xu's words, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said.

Hanzhong and Wudu are in opposition.

Hanzhong will know Wudu, how can Wudu not pay attention to the movement of Yangpingguan, when they attacked Hanzhong, but because of the defeat of Tianshi Dao, they had to escape in a hurry. of a knot.

"No matter what, we must find out the enemy's news!"

"Yes!"

A general surrendered and left in a hurry.

"Captain, do you need to summon the prefect for this matter?" Someone asked.

"Being not!"

Lei Xu didn't want to leave an impression of himself as incompetent in Zhang Ji's heart. Zhang Ji trusted him, so he entrusted Xiabian to him, and entrusted the entire Wudu County to him to guard. Now that Hechi has been captured, it is already a serious crime.

Zhang Ji must deal with this group of troops before returning with his army.

"Captain, what if they attack us?"

"It came just right!"

Lei Xu said coldly: "I'm going down to Bian City, the walls are thick, and I have three thousand elites in my hand. I'm afraid that they will fail with mere thieves!"

"Come on!" he shouted.

"exist!"

"Pass my military order, Lei Zi Yingerlang, from now on, gather immediately, each part will patrol the city wall, don't relax, be alert to the situation inside and outside the city wall, and report immediately if there is any movement!"

"promise!"

Several orderlies passed on the military orders.

……

Just as Xiabian was responding, the Zhanhu Camp had completed its supplies and started to continue, heading straight for Xiabian City.

"Under the circumstances of the surprise attack, we lost two hundred soldiers?"

In the marching picture, Mu Jing sighed a little.

The battle of Hechi was indeed smooth, but the battlefield represents life and death, where there is life there must be death, and they also paid the price. With the elite of Zhanhuying, a loss of [-] is already a big loss.

Every soldier in the Zhanhu Camp is the elite among the elite. In order to form this mountain camp, in addition to using the former Violent Bear Army Vanguard Battalion as the basis, all the recruited soldiers are elite soldiers from all armies .

One can imagine the fighting power of this battalion.

Although the Zhanhu Battalion is only one battalion, if it is on a mountainous battlefield, it will never be weaker than an army.

"For the first run-in battle, many of our soldiers still couldn't cooperate tacitly, which led to some unnecessary sacrifices!" Lei Hu rode his horse beside Mu Jing, walking side by side, and heard Mu Jing's words, whispered Say something.

This is the first time Zhanhuying has been on the battlefield since it was established. Although they are all elites, in terms of individual strength, none of the four armies under Mu Jun's command can match them.

But marching and fighting is the cooperation between a team, and it pays attention to the tacit understanding between soldiers. Only soldiers who can entrust their backs to their comrades can cooperate seamlessly and form a powerful army formation.

The soldiers of the Zhanhu Camp are all brave, but they still can't do this.

"Brother Huzi, you have to pay attention to this point!" Mu Jing instructed: "The Zhanhu Camp is the most preferential battalion under the Minghou Mansion. Son, the others are all bastards, you have the best treatment, the best weapons and armor, and if you can’t become the strongest in combat, it’s a shame to save it!”

"My lord, don't worry, I will definitely not let my lord down, and I won't let everyone down in the Minghou Mansion. I must be the strongest in the Tiger Camp!"

Lei Hu said confidently.

On the battlefield, he always has an unrivaled arrogance and self-confidence, which is not recklessness, but a trend, a general trend that cannot be rebelled on the battlefield, and this is why Mu Jing is optimistic about him.

This person is born to belong to the battlefield, so he can't be a commander, but a vanguard is definitely rare.

……

Zhanhuying marched for two hours, and they rushed to a place more than ten miles outside Xiabian City with the fastest speed.

When they arrived, the first confrontation was naturally the scouts.

The Marquis of the Scout Army led the scout song, went straight into the battlefield, and met the scouts of the Xiliang Army who were standing guard on the opposite side.

"Take them down, leave none behind!"

"..."

"Stop it, report back!"

"..."

Between the lightning and the flint, a fight has already started.

The confrontation between scouts is a rhythm point on the battlefield. Whoever can get the upper hand in the scout confrontation will be able to grasp the rhythm on the battlefield.

This is knowing yourself and your enemy.

Zhanhu Camp marched from the beginning, then attacked, then cleaned the battlefield, and then continued to march. There was no news along the way, and now it is okay to be tired, so the army began to rest and rest on the spot.

Half a sound later, the scout military marquis had returned, his body drenched in blood, and he came up to report: "Report to my lord, our soldiers have killed all the scouts on the periphery. We paid the lives of twelve soldiers and killed ten of the Xiliang army overtly and secretly. The seven scouts killed none of them to report back, but the scouts among them must be silently vigilant, and I'm afraid they can't hide it for long!"

Silent vigilance, this is a term used by scouts, which means that even if no one goes back to report, in this silent situation, because of disappearance, it will also arouse vigilance.

"How long can we keep it a secret?"

Mu Jing was looking at the map.

The news of Hechi may have appeared in Xiabian, and he didn't expect to be able to hide his intentions. The purpose of fighting Hechi was Xiabian. Now it's time to fight, and it doesn't matter if they are prepared, it just depends on how prepared they are.

"Four hours is the limit!"

The Marquis of the Scouts said: "For all the scouts, there is no need to go back to find out the news, but so many scouts lose contact at the same time, they will inevitably guess, and then send new scouts. The news of our arrival should take three or four hours!"

"very good!"

Mu Jing was already very satisfied, and said: "You continue to investigate. Remember, it is the responsibility of the scouts to block all the news around. Before we attack, our news must not be leaked!"

"As ordered!"

The scout army led the order and left.

"This is the map of the next debate, I've already made up my mind, Leihu Hanxian!"

"exist!"

"Han Siam leads the main force, follow me to attack!"

"As ordered!"

"Leihu!" Mu Jing pointed to the north side of the map. Xiabian is a mountain city, standing on the back of the mountain, so when building a defensive wall, the east and west walls will be connected to the mountain in the north, which is very defensive. If it is other main forces, maybe I really can't find a way to break the city, but if it is Zhanhuying, there is a possibility: "You personally lead a thousand elite soldiers and break through from here. Whether this battle can be won or not depends on whether you can break through. This cliff!"

On the back mountain on the north side of Xiabian City, where ordinary people can’t go up, but the people in the Zhanhu Camp have been trained to climb. Climbing the mountain with bare hands is one of the daily training items in the Zhanhu Camp. The general army will definitely break through. Debating Houshan, but Zhanhuying has a chance, whether it can break through depends on Leihu's ability.

"My lord, the general is willing to issue a military order!"

Lei Hu cupped his hands, and there was a touch of determination on his face: "I can't break through this mountain cliff, come and see me!"

"I don't want your head, I want the result!"

"Yes!"

Lei Hu led the army away.

"The surprise attack begins!"

Half an hour after Lei Hu led his army away, Mu Jing put away the map, mounted his horse over the mountain, and ordered to the front, "Attack immediately!"

The best way to cover Thunder Tiger.

It is offense.

What's more, let them attack with the surprise attack method, success is good, but it's okay to lose, his trump card is always Leihu, if Leihu can break through, he can win, if Leihu breaks through, he can't attack.

"Yes!"

The military princes of all ministries bowed their hands and took orders.

Under the light of the setting sun, the army began to approach the city wall of Xiabian...
