Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1388

The night was vast, and above the night sky, only the light of the waning moon could be seen looming among the clouds.

Wei Jun Barracks.

There is a gate at the gate of the camp. The camp is simply built and the defense is not high, but as a temporary camp, it is enough, and the vigilance is very high. There are more than defense lines around. Even if the Ming army wants to attack, it is difficult to cross They defend.

In the main tent of the Chinese army, all the generals gathered together, and the atmosphere was somewhat gloomy.

Today's battle seemed to be when the Wei army occupied the tour, but in fact, they were not able to suppress the momentum of the Ming army, but let the counterattack of the Ming army block their momentum.

"The Ming army can be called the most powerful army in the world, and it is somewhat worthy of its name!"

Yu Jin spoke first and broke the silence: "Today's situation, it is obvious that they are short of troops, but in terms of their formation, timing, and grasp of all aspects, it is the best. We came aggressively, but it was a bit of a punch. The feeling on the cotton!"

"Ok!"

Le Jin agreed with Yu Jin's statement, and said with a wry smile: "Facing the Ming army, I feel a lot of pressure. They have high military literacy, and I still don't see them feeling chaotic!"

Under the suppression of powerful troops, the side with fewer soldiers and horses will feel more or less afraid, and then chaos themselves, first of all, chaos in the army formation.

However, the formation of the Ming army was well maintained from beginning to end.

"This is the Ming army!"

As the main general this time, Cao Ren's eyes were a little dark. It wasn't the first time he faced the Ming army, but every time he had a different feeling.

The Ming army is not only strong, but also has made rapid progress. This is something that the Wei army cannot match at present.

"We have long known the strength of the Ming army, but we also know that their strength is insufficient. I guess in this city, if they want to move out [-] main forces, it will not be enough!"

Cao Ren said: "And we have [-] main forces going south this time. If we can't do anything like this, then we are sorry for your majesty's expectations!"

Cao Cao's main force did not dare to enter Nanzhou because he had not seen the situation in Wancheng clearly.

This time Lu Bu can break Bowang.

For the Wei army, it was an opportunity. Cao Cao gritted his teeth, and then general Cao Ren directly dumped the [-] main force and went south to attack Wancheng.

This is a trial.

It is also a contest.

"I suggest!"

Le Jin pondered for a while, and said, "Let's attack at night!"

A night attack is a kind of surprise attack under the cover of night. As long as it is well arranged, it can often achieve different results.

"no!"

Cao Ren objected: "The chances of winning us in a night attack are actually not great. First of all, we have some understanding of the Ming army. The Ming army is very good at night raids. The lack of ability, even if there is a surprise attack, it will be difficult to open the gate of Wancheng. Once we lose, we will be frustrated, and they will even seize the opportunity to bite us back. Come down, and even make it impossible for us to organize a large-scale attack in the next two or three days!"

Although the night attack mode may be successful, it may also bring great danger. Fighting at night will be chaotic, and once chaotic, anything can really happen.

At this time, Cao Ren asked for a word of stability.

He has enough troops coming, and within three days, he is very hopeful that he can break through the city by force, and there is no need for troops to be dangerous.

"I'm afraid that the main force of the Ming army may appear in Wancheng at any time!"

Yu Jin thought about it and said.

"Is there any news from Yelou?" Cao Ren was also worried about this issue. If they could go south, wouldn't the main force of the Ming army come west? It was not accidental that the main force of the Ming army would appear in Wancheng, it was just a matter of time. That's all.

The longer the delay, the more favorable it is for the Wei army to attack, but if the main force of the Ming army arrives early, then the Wei army must temporarily avoid the edge, because the Wei army is only part of the soldiers and horses, and the main force is still behind.

"Not yet!"

Le Jin shook his head: "A few days ago, there was a message that the army was blocked in Shangyong because of the spring rain, and there was no news after that!"

"That's not so fast!"

Cao Ren said: "We still have time!"

He took a deep breath, and said to Le Jin and Yu Jin: "You go to the army first, take a good rest overnight, and we will launch an attack at dawn tomorrow, and try to break Kaiwan City in the shortest possible time!"

"promise!"

Although the two were not Cao Ren's generals, Cao Ren was the chief general, and they belonged to the deputy generals. Cao Ren could command the army, but they could only surrender.

After all the generals left, Cao Ren sat down and began to write.

He wanted to write a military report and secretly send it back to Cao Cao.

It is mainly to explain the current situation. He needs to let Cao Cao know the current situation in Wancheng before Cao Cao can make the next decision.

Sent overnight, the letter will be delivered to Cao Cao tomorrow.

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

The [-] main force of the Wei army slowly moved south, and they were already on the border of Nanzhou. They could enter at any time, but they were unable to enter for a long time.

Wei Jun mobilized more than 20 troops this time.

It can be described as a big deal.

All the troops in the territory were mobilized in random numbers.

It's not that the Wei army only has the 20 main force, but that after the deployment of the Central Plains, the Wei army can currently draw as much as possible, only the 20 main force.

No matter how many, he can only transfer troops from Xuzhou.

But once Xuzhou's soldiers and horses are mobilized, it will have an impact on the overall situation.

In the first battle last year, Yuan Tan abandoned Qingzhou and rushed to Yanjin, defeating the main force of the Wei army, forcing the Wei army to cross south and retreat to Guandu. This was Yuan Shao's ruthless move.

Originally, they were planning a decisive battle this year, but no one expected that Mu Jing would kill himself, creating a situation where everyone in the world was an enemy, so they all concentrated their main force to destroy the Southwest first, and temporarily gave up this battle.

But Yuan Shao will suffer in this way. If Qingzhou wants to get it back, it will not be so easy.

Now Cao Ang is stationed in Qingzhou.

If Xuzhou soldiers and horses are mobilized, then for Cao Cao, Qingzhou will be lost, and even Xuzhou will be eroded by Yuan Shao, which is not worth the candle.

Of course, once the battle situation is at its worst, Cao Cao may also be mobilized.

In the current situation, destroying the Southwest is the top priority.

If Mujing becomes a major trend, no matter if it is Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, or Liu Bei, they will all become terrified, which means that the proverb that appeared under the miracle will be replaced by the Han Dynasty, and it will be realized.

This is something no one will allow.

Therefore, destroying the Ming Kingdom in the Southwest is the goal of everyone. Even if it cannot be defeated, it must be disabled. This battle, no matter what, is a battle that cannot be lost.

One hundred thousand main forces are stationed here, and tens of thousands are still in Runan, preparing to march eastward from Runan. In addition, more than [-] main forces of the Wei army, the main force in the Ming Dynasty, have been mobilized.

But the most important thing is the [-] elite led by Cao Cao himself.

The morning sun was a bit dazzling, and under the reflection, there was a monstrous sound in the barracks, and the sound of being drilled was deafening.

Cao Cao got up early.

He is a very busy man.

Although he was away in battle, there was still a big Buddha in the court hall, and he still wanted to pull him off his horse. The emperor who wanted to be in charge had to guard against it.

He will read all the reports sent by the court every day, at least to read the close reports, to understand the current trends in the court, and keep an eye on them all the time, so as not to give too many people a chance, or he will suffer a loss.

At this time, Guo Jia walked in.

"Your Majesty, General Cao Ren has sent a military report!"

"Zixiao should have hit Wancheng!"

"Yeah!" Guo Jia nodded: "This is the military report he played after he fought a battle under Wancheng!"

"Lonely, let's see what news Zixiao can give me!"

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, he put down his pen and ink, and took the military memorial himself. After opening it, he looked at it carefully, and then said: "The Ming army is short of troops. Is it a trap, or is it really short of troops?"

He has to be suspicious. Once he gets stuck, he will suffer a big loss if he loses before fighting.

"According to the news from Yelou, the main force of the Ming army should have not yet entered Nanyang. Even if some of their troops have entered, at most they will be in Nanxiang!"

Guo Jia thought for a while and said, "It's right that the Ming army is not strong enough!"

"Still waiting!"

Cao Cao paced back and forth: "If the Ming army's strength is insufficient, Zi Xiao will be able to deal with it!"

"However, we can't make a quick breakthrough in terms of time. It will be different after a few days!" Guo Jia said, "I still think it's best to march now and take down Wancheng with a swift offensive!"

"Can you guarantee that there will be no other arrangements for the Ming army in Wancheng?" Cao Cao narrowed his eyes.

"Hard to say!"

Guo Jia said with a wry smile: "There are many generals under the command of the Ming army. Ming Lord Mu Jing is also a man who is good at playing games. This man has a strong sense of adventure on the battlefield. Back then they fought in Xiling, Jiangxia. Which battle is very classic, lure Sun Jian into the game, ambush and fight out, and almost killed Sun Jian in Xiling!"

That was when the Battle of Jingzhou broke out. At that time, the Ming army was still the soldiers of the Mu Clan, and there was no Ming Dynasty. Ming Hou Mujing had just finished fighting a northern campaign, and no one thought that he would not appear in Jingzhou.

However, he appeared in Jingzhou.

Not to mention the capture of Jingzhou, the main force of Jiangdong was almost wiped out in Jingzhou, especially the ambush battle in Xiling of Jiangxia, which was called fierce. The Jiangdong Tigers also broke out in this battle with extraordinary force. Otherwise, Sun Jian might not have been besieged and killed in Jianye City. If Sun Jian still had martial arts, he would have led the tiger guards to almost break out of the siege.

After all, in this era of cold weapons, the power of a super general is very useful.

The Ming army was good at scheming and creating the impossible, and it was also spread throughout the world, so the princes of all walks of life were more rigorous in their defenses against the Ming army.

"This battle has just begun, we are not in a hurry now!"

Cao Cao took a deep breath: "We are here now with a heavy force of 20, and we are only attacking Nanyang. We have an absolute advantage, and the battle is within the territory of the Ming Dynasty. We can fight slowly, step by step, and advance step by step. We will never give up The Ming army is playing tricks to lure our hopes!"

He has a strong army, so there is no need to be too aggressive, but if there is a gap between the front and back, and the Ming army can take advantage of it, then the gain is not worth the loss.

Step by step, as long as you don't make mistakes.

There is more than [-]% hope of defeating the Ming army in this battle.

Cao Cao pondered for a while, then suddenly asked: "Wuguan, is there any progress?"

"Come back with news!"

Guo Jia responded: "As we expected, the Ming army has long been prepared, and Huang Hansheng is there!"

"Mulongtu's eyes are still as vicious as ever!" Cao Cao sighed.

Wuguan is not about the war situation in one place.

If he can take Wuguan in advance, he can open up a communication between the Guanzhong battlefield and the Nanyang battlefield, and it is even possible to transport troops to win and raid Jingxiang.

But not only he thought of it, but Mu Jing also thought of it.

Mu Jing's trump card, the Nanyang sword king Huang Hansheng, was directly pressed there, like a sea-fixing needle, at least it would not cause the enemy's Guanzhong and Nanyang battlefield forces to intertwine.

This in turn helped the Ming army mobilize troops on the two battlefields.

If Mujing needs it.

From Guanzhong, soldiers and horses can be dispatched south from Wuguan to enter Nanzhou of the Ming Dynasty, which is now known as the most eye-catching place in the world, the Nanyang battlefield.

"Mu Jing's subordinates are also full of counselors, how could he make such a mistake!" Guo Jia had never expected to win Wuguan.

"Let Cao Hong withdraw!"

Cao Cao thought about it, and although he was not reconciled, he was unwilling to entangle him.

"I actually think that Cao Hong can't withdraw!"

Guo Jia shook his head, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the people of the Ming army are crazy. We can pass through Wuguan, and Wuguan can also lead directly to Yuzhou. If Huang Hansheng leads an army to attack, we will be defenseless!"

"Dare he?"

"Others don't dare, Huang Hansheng may be sure!" Guo Jia said: "As long as Cao Hong's troops are there, on the one hand, Wuguan can be suppressed, at least the Ming army in Guanzhong will not be allowed to go south; The turbulence, as long as we keep an eye on Wuguan, Huang Hansheng will never dare to move easily, this will be very helpful for us to fight Nanyang!"

"What you say makes sense!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he pondered for a while, but agreed: "Then let Cao Hong be stationed there first!"

He flipped through some of the attack reports in his hand.

Then he asked, "Is there no news from Guanzhong these days?"

"Guanzhong is already at war, and Luoyang is the main battlefield!"

"Will the Ming army not give up on Luoyang?" Cao Cao was somewhat surprised.

If he was Mujing, he should give up Luoyang at this time, and at least return to Tongguan. It's not that he has no ability, but that he doesn't have the need. Fighting in Luoyang is different from fighting in Tongguan.

"At present, it seems that the Ming army is preparing to fight in Luoyang!"

Guo Jia was also puzzled: "According to the news from Yelou, the main generals in the Guanzhong battlefield are Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan. These people are Mu Jing's favorite generals. It's not even simple, but the military adviser in the Guanzhong battlefield is Xi Zhicai, Xi Zhicai this People, in the old days, had the name of wisdom, which is the pride of Yingchuan Academy, who came from a poor family, but are eager to learn, knowledgeable, intelligent, and have the name of wisdom, and their thoughts are always erratic, sometimes it is difficult to guess!"

They are fellow apprentices.

Familiar, yet unfamiliar.

Familiarity is the days of the past, strangeness is the days after each has its own master. When we were in the academy, Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia had a good friendship, and sometimes they would cook wine with green plums, chatting about the overall situation, At that time, they had a good relationship and their thoughts were very close, so I can guess.

If Guo Jia were to guess Xi Zhicai's thoughts now, he would already be a little powerless.
