Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1058 On the battlefield, the enemy cannot be underestimated!

The temporary camp of the Longxi Army.

"The broken soldiers outside, have they been called back?"

"It's still being summoned. Most of the broken soldiers have been recovered, but some are scattered around the mountains. It will take time!"

"Currently, how many casualties do we have?" Ma Teng had never tried such a crippling defeat. His pupils were a little blood red, like a wild wolf licking his wounds. He was so angry that he couldn't take revenge.

A difference in thought.

In yesterday's battle during the day, although it was a bit of a disadvantage, it did not have any impact.

I thought that the two armies had been fighting for a whole day, and there was some time to relax, but no one thought that the Yellow Turban Army would launch a night attack and smash the formation of the Longxi Army at once. In the night environment, they were defeated like a mountain.

More than [-] troops were chased by more than [-] people from the Yellow Turban Military Region all night, at least for more than [-] miles.

"The specific statistics haven't come out yet, but it's probably around three thousand!"

Li Kan was also very embarrassed, his left arm was scratched by the loss, and it was still wrapped in white gauze: "Being beaten too quickly, fighting during the day, made us exhausted, we didn't do a good job of basic night defense, and it was just right for us to be attacked by a surprise attack." , the left and right wings were broken, Yang Qiu had no time to retreat, shot through his heart with random arrows, and died on the spot. Hou Xuan led the army to cover the center camp, and was seriously injured. This battle will exceed more than [-] casualties. Our army suffered heavy casualties and low morale!"

"shame!"

Ma Teng snorted coldly, his anger soaring to the sky: "It's such a shame, if you can't wash it off yourself, what face will you have? Go see the people of the world!"

"My lord, the enemy is fierce now, and the morale of our army is too high, so it is not suitable to fight any more!"

Ma Wan cupped his hands and said, "It's better to leave Guanzhong for now!"

"no way!"

Ma Teng gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Even if we don't fight Mu Jun, we can't continue to retreat to Guanzhong. We have to rush over and go back to Liangzhou. Only Liangzhou has our foothold!"

The generals heard the words and looked at each other face to face. Although they were not reconciled, they couldn't say anything.

Although Guanzhong is good, there is no place for the Longxi Army to gain a foothold.

Especially this time, Ma Teng led the army to abandon the Guanzhong defense line and withdraw to Liangzhou. It must not be hidden. If Dong Zhuo cleans up the Longxi Army at that time, as long as the logistics supply of Longxi County is cut off, the Longxi Army will be finished.

"Now the northern suburb of Jieting has been occupied by the herding army. If we want to cross this line, we may not necessarily cross it!"

General Liang Xing opened his mouth and said, "Why don't you let the Major General withdraw from the front line and meet us!"

After Ma Chao led the vanguard with [-] troops to withdraw from Nanshan, he explored the road ahead and was close to Anding. As long as he opened the road to Anding, subdued the Anding prefect, and took over the Anding county soldiers, the Longxi army would be able to drive straight in.

"How many soldiers and horses do we have?"

Ma Teng asked.

"Less than twenty thousand!"

Li Kan said in a low voice.

The main force of the Longxi Army was about [-] troops, but Pound led [-] troops and was still covering their tracks in Chencang. Ma Chao led [-] troops to lead the way to Anding, and Ma Teng's main force was more than [-].

In this battle, there were more than [-] casualties. Now Ma Teng's [-] troops are not enough, and his morale is low. His combat effectiveness must be reduced by at least [-]%.

"Let's take a rest for a day now. After a big defeat, morale will definitely be low. You should boost your morale!" After all, Ma Teng is a veteran in the battlefield. After the anger had settled down, he became calm: "After the rest, Let's break through and attack in the northeast direction first, if we can't get out, we will retreat to Longguan, from Longguan back to Guanzhong!"

Although he didn't want to, but if it came to the point of life and death, he couldn't take care of it. If the whole army was wiped out here, he would rather retreat to Guanzhong, at worst begging for mercy from Dong Zhuo, at least he still had a chance to survive.

"promise!"

The generals nodded their heads.

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

It only takes one or two days for Ma Teng to restore the combat effectiveness of the Longxi Army. He still has an absolute advantage in strength, so his self-confidence is still quite high.

But the situation on the battlefield deteriorated faster than Ma Teng imagined.

The main force of the Mu army went north.

Moreover, he entered the Jieting battlefield from an unexpected direction.

Go up.

This is a city between Guanzhong and Liangzhou, in the northeast of Xixian County, less than [-] miles away from Longguan, and only [-] miles away from Jieting.

Sending troops in this direction happened to be inserted between Jieting and Longguan.

Ten miles away from Longguan.

The main force of the animal husbandry army rushed for a long-distance attack and temporarily took a rest.

"My lord, Huang Shao won a great battle and attacked Ma Teng's barracks at night. He not only defeated Ma Teng's army, but also killed more than [-] enemies!" Zhang Liao reported to Mu Jing.

"Huang Shao felt elated for once!"

Hearing this, Mu Jing said in a deep voice: "In recent years, the Yellow Turban Army has been in the northern border and rarely went to war, but many people have forgotten that Huang Shao is also a rare wise general. My father killed a person who has no future!"

Huang Shao was born as a scholar. Although he has martial arts skills, he is good at calculating. It was his arrangement in the Runan battle that year, and he joined forces with the Runan Yellow Turban to almost drive Mushan out of his way.

"However, the Yellow Turban Army took the initiative to attack, which brought a lot of trouble to our siege!" said a general.

"No trouble!"

Zhang Liao shook his head: "Huang Shao did the right thing. Ye Changmeng is the trouble. Now that Ma Teng is beaten so hard that he can't get away, he is focusing on the Yellow Turban Army. Give us a chance!"

He opened an exquisite and accurate terrain map, and said: "The current position of Ma Teng's Longxi Army is here. He has chosen this position very well. He can attack, retreat and defend. At worst, he can pass Longguan. Withdraw from Guanzhong!"

"But once a soldier and horse is cut off from here and suffocates their way back to Guanzhong, even if he spreads his wings, he will not be able to escape!"

Zhang Liao said loudly: "A great opportunity is in front of us. The opportunity to wipe out the Longxi Army must not be missed!"

"Occupy Longguan?"

"wrong!"

Zhang Liao said, "It's the Longguan Road that was set on fire!"

"What do you want to do?"

"This time, we will fight a tacit battle with the Yellow Turban Army!"

"Huang Shao will cooperate with you?" Mu Jing narrowed his eyes.

"We are on both sides of the battlefield, sending messages back and forth. The time is too slow to think too much, but as long as I exert my strength first, I believe Huang Shao will understand. As long as he cooperates well, we will be able to win this battle. With the fewest casualties, take down the Longxi Army!"

"Then I'll wait and see, watching your performance!"

Mu Jing said lightly.

Although he is wearing battle armor and holding a battle sword, his range of activities can only be in the main camp of this kind of Chinese army. It is impossible to appear on the battlefield for a step, and no one will allow it. Zhang Liao can let him control it, which is already The limit is reached, and many ministers participating in politics in Zhaoming Pavilion can't explain it.

"My lord, Ma Teng is a rare hero in Xiliang, maybe..." Xu Shu stood up and said with cupped hands.

"Yuanzhi!"

Mu Jing's face became serious, and he directly interrupted Xu Shu: "Do you know what a battlefield is?"

"battlefield?"

Hearing this, Xu Shu frowned slightly. The range was too large, and he was still thinking about how to answer.

"The battlefield is life and death!"

Mu Jing said softly: "Your original intention is good. At this time, Ma Teng has been cornered. If you recruit Ma Teng, you can stop the war and reduce casualties. Moreover, Ma Teng is a mighty general. If it can be used by me, it is also a good thing. I also hope to recruit him, but the key is that the time is wrong. Now we are fighting, either you die or I die. After the war, Ma Teng has no ability to resist, but he can live. Maybe there is hope to surrender, but now Ma Teng holds a main force of [-] to [-]. He is not a sheep, but a ferocious wolf. Now that the fight has started, we can only go all out. Don't have any hope of surrender, or we will suffer. It's us!"

"Why, I just go to surrender first, even if I can't surrender, I can fight again, it's harmless?" Xu Shu gritted his teeth. He is very smart and knowledgeable, but after all, he lacks a little experience on the battlefield, and he can talk eloquently. At the critical moment, there is always some confusion, this is the reason of experience.

"Because as long as you think about surrendering in your heart, you will instinctively leave a hole in the fierce battle, because you think that you will win, this is to underestimate the enemy, a big taboo on the battlefield, and anyone who violates taboo will pay a heavy price price!"

Zhang Liao answered his question instead of Mu Jing: "On the battlefield, the slightest thought of underestimating the enemy cannot be tolerated, and there has never been a sure victory!"

After getting along these days, he liked Xu Shu quite a bit. He felt that Xu Shu missed his original situation and was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do, but gradually he began to recognize and change again.

He has some empathy for this mentality.

If it wasn't for Mu Jingshen's hold on, he would have wanted to poach Xu Shu into the third army.

"Yuan Zhi, Ben Hou asked you to go to the battlefield with me to show you this troubled world!" Mu Jing patted him on the shoulder and said in a low voice: "You have unparalleled talent, but your heart is too kind and too harsh on yourself. There are too many things to carry, if you want to keep your principles or change the world, you have to have a goal!"

When Xu Shu heard this, his heart sank slightly.

This troubled world...

He seemed to understand more and more clearly.
