Chapter 1412 The Battle of Wan City Eight

dong dong dong! ! ! ! !
Inside the headquarters, Wen Pin's words had just come to an end, when the sudden sound of war drums sounded loudly from all directions, like overlapping waves.

"How to go back?"

"Go out and see!"

Everyone reacted quickly, and walked out one by one, looking down at the battlefield from a high position.

The previous battlefield was deadlocked.

Evenly matched.

Although the fighting was ferocious, neither side got cheap.

But on the battlefield at this time, the formation of the Wei army has obviously changed, and the changes have been great. The formation has been completely changed, and the formation of the army is different.

"What do they want to do?"

Wenpin asked gloomyly with a cold face.

"It should be an all-out attack formation!"

Yan Yan stood beside him, staring at the battlefield, and after some speculation in his mind, he responded, "They changed their formation, it should be to increase their offensive strength, and they may press all the troops up!"

"I'm afraid it's more than that!"

Meng Huo put down his binoculars and added, "I saw the enemy general. Maybe we don't need to look at how to lure the snake out of the hole. They have already launched an attack!"

"really?"

Wenpin looked at it carefully, trembling in his heart, and said: "Sure enough, they actually took the initiative to attack at this time, do they want to make a quick decision?"

"Look carefully at the formation. Their formation is a strong attack formation. This is the first desperate attack on us!" Yan Yan said.

"It is indeed not to be underestimated!" Meng Huo's face also darkened.

"Then shall we fight back?"

Wenpin was silent for a while and asked.

This situation is different. They didn't lure the snake out of the hole, but Wei Jun took the initiative to attack. Although the situation is the same, the concept is different.

"want!"

Meng Huo thought for a while, but he was still firm in his thinking, and said: "I always think that a long battle is not good for us, so he didn't want a quick victory. We also wanted to take the initiative, not just surprise their headquarters. Instead, burn their food and grass!"

Now that the two armies have formed a formation and are engaged in a life-and-death battle, at this time in their respective camps, there must be food and grass reserves, which can last at least ten days and a half months.

The food for one person for ten days and a half months may be insignificant, but tens of thousands of people, plus horses, people eat horses and chew, and the food for ten days and a half months is a very scary concept.

If they can burn down the granary where they store food and grass, it will be fatal to this battle.

"But we don't know where their granary was built. It must be a hidden place. It won't even be in their barracks, but behind them!"

Wenpin said with some doubts: "How can you guarantee that you can find where their food and grass are!"

"You can try your luck!"

Meng Huo scratched his head, he didn't know, but he had to try this kind of thing. He was confident that when the enemy attacked, he could use lightning combat mode to cross their defensive line and directly destroy their combat headquarters. , messed up their logistics.

If they can easily get rid of the food and grass they have stored for a long time, then this battle will be much smoother.

"I agree with General Meng Huo's proposal!" Yan Yan thought for a while and said, "General Wenpin, at this time, we have delayed for too long, which is indeed not good for us, and if the fight continues like this, if Xiahou Dun dares to trade casualties for victory , the possibility of our defeat is very high!"

The superiority in military strength is always a great advantage. If you forcibly exchange two for one, and trade casualties for casualties, then the Ming army will definitely suffer.

"Then fight!"

Wenpin is not an indecisive person either. He thought for a while and said, "General Meng Huo, how many troops do you need for a surprise attack?"

"Surprise raids must be done in secret, so there should not be many soldiers and horses, at most three thousand, and these three thousand must be elite, and the best men must be selected from the battalions of the two armies, and then it is best to gather the horses and cavalry of your two armies. Be quicker and more flexible, you can get in, and you can get out!"

Meng Huo replied, "Quick battles lead to quick decisions!"

"no problem!"

Wenpin nodded: "You make arrangements now, no matter if it's a person or a war horse, as long as you like it, take it away, I will support you until dark, after dark, no matter whether you can raid into them Headquarters, we will not continue to entangle with them, after all, you can't continue to fight too much!"

"It's still a while before it gets dark, it's enough!"

Meng Huo nodded.

"Then act!"

"Governor Yan Yan!" Meng Huo suddenly stopped Yan Yan.

"What advice does the general have?" Yan Yan cupped his hands.

"You were a famous general in Yizhou in the past, and now you are sticking to the battle of Wancheng, and you have made great military exploits. Although you are a civil servant, you are good at marching and fighting. I led the elite to make a surprise attack in person. There is no commanding general in the army. Please take your place temporarily." The position of commanding general!"

Meng Huo's request was quite sudden.

But he couldn't.

The base of Jingping's Fourth Army is the Dongzhou Army. During the period of rectification, he has established some majesty, and it is no problem to command it.

But the generals of his subordinates do not have the ability to lead the battle, and the other ministries, the army commander, the army master, the army generals, and even the school lieutenants, do not have the ability to stand alone.

That's why he asked Yan Yan. Yan Yan used to be a general of Yizhou. He came to command the old Dongzhou Army and established the Jingping Fourth Army. Big disgust.

And Yan Yan's ability is also good.

"This one……"

Yan Yan hesitated.

It stands to reason that he belongs to the Zhengshitang. Since the establishment of the Minghou Mansion in the Ming Dynasty, there has been a system of division of civil and military affairs. Civil officials do not govern military generals, and military generals do not govern local areas.

If he accepted the right to lead the army, it would be somewhat against the rules.

"Governor Yan, the battlefield is the priority now. After a big battle, the lives and deaths of countless Erlangs are involved. The rules are no longer important. If there is anything in the future, we will explain it to the Privy Council and the Political Affairs Hall in person!"

Wenpin opened his mouth and said in a low voice: "At this moment, we still have to do our best to win this battle. Let's talk about other things. If we lose, the eastern suburbs will be lost, and the eastern front will definitely collapse. Even the eastern city will be defeated." Unable to stop the Wei army's attack, the collapse of a battle line is enough to defeat the entire Wancheng army!"

"Since that's the case, then I won't shirk it anymore!"

Yan Yan thought for a while, Mu Jing released him from the Nanzhou Governor's Mansion, so he was already interested in returning him to the ranks of generals who led the army to fight.

At this time, even if there is some overstepping, as long as the battle is won, no one will have too many opinions. At that time, as long as the apology is timely, take the initiative, and the big and small things are turned into small things, it will not be a big problem.

But with the meritorious service of this battle, it made him better leave the Political Affairs Hall, get the full support of the Privy Council, and return to the ranks of generals.

………………

On the battlefield, the Wei army's sudden change of formation disrupted many deployments of the Ming army, causing the Ming army to retreat one after another. In a short period of time, the Wei army not only completed the change of formation, but also assembled many main forces .

"attack!"

Xiahoudun's attack method is a bit barbaric, that is, to violently break through all the army formations and forcefully cross over.

"attack!"

"attack!"

Such an offensive method is not undesirable, but it can boost morale. The morale of the Wei army became agitated in an instant, and with Xiahou Dun's figure, he charged forward.

The Wei army's sudden exertion did disrupt many of the Ming army's deployments.

The coordination of the Ming army was broken, gaps appeared between the battalions, and the battlefield became a little turbulent in an instant, until Wenpin appeared on the battlefield in person.

"My sons and daughters of the Ming army, we are here today, we will fight them to the death, kill them!"

As the No. [-] military general in Jingzhou, Wenpin was originally a fierce general. At this moment, it was time to show his boiling fighting spirit. He personally went into battle against Xiahou Dun.

"kill!"

"kill!"

The morale of the Ming army itself was very strong, and Wenpin personally led the troops to fight, which made the fighting spirit of the soldiers rise.

Boom boom boom! ! ! !

On the battlefield at this moment, tit for tat confronted Maimang, both armies were simmering with fighting spirit and fighting spirit, and started a brutal confrontation like a meat grinder.

"Press the left wing!"

Yu Jin was fine. Xiahoudun's attack would bring such a strong reaction to the Ming army, and he already regretted agreeing to let Xiahoudun launch such an attack that wanted a quick victory.

Perhaps, this is also a situation that the Ming army wants.

But until now, the morale of the soldiers of the two armies is so strong that there is no turning back when they open their bows.

"Ministries on the right wing, hold on!"

Xu Huang didn't regret it, but was a little ready to move. Xiahoudun wanted to break through the middle, so the middle was the main force, and the right wing, would the defense of the Ming army be much lower? defensive line.

He had just moved his thoughts when he realized that a group of soldiers and horses had already crossed the front line and counterattacked them.

"hateful!"

Xu Huang stared: "Since you dare to kill them, kill them for me!"

"Yes!"

Xu Huang's subordinates were on the right wing of the battlefield, tens of thousands of troops pressed up.

"General Meng Zhonglang, just rush over and I will cover you!" Yan Yan personally served as the fourth army, and the Ming army had strict military regulations. Although he was temporarily stationed, not many people dared to complain, and it went smoothly. Let him take over the entire chain of command.

Facing the battlefield ahead, he was not surprised by Wei Jun's obstruction. At this time, his task was to cover the [-] elites led by Meng Huo himself to cross this line of defense.

This is the first step in the counterattack. First break into the defensive circle of the enemy's rear line, and then have the opportunity to raid their main camp of the Chinese army, chop off their battle flags, and burn their food and grass.

"Boom boom boom!!!"

After fighting for half an hour, the battlefield on the right wing appeared to be in chaos. A cavalry took the opportunity to cross the direction of the Wei army and entered towards the belly of the Wei army.

"What, someone broke through our defense?"

Xu Huang's eyes darkened instantly: "How many soldiers and horses?"

"Less than three thousand!"

"That's still under control!"

"But they are all cavalry!" At this moment, the scout soldier added this sentence, which shocked Xu Huang.

He looked up, only to see a gust of sand blowing up behind him, and the horse's hooves were rumbling, and he was already heading towards his back.

"Not good!" Xu Huang was startled and wanted to return to the division to defend.

But Yan Yan is a veteran who can be compared with Huang Zhong in history. A general who is old enough to fight on the battlefield is in his prime, how can he be an ordinary person.

"Change, wrap!"

Yan Yan changed the formation, and the army formation changed from the main attack to a entanglement combat mode.

"Want to entangle someone?"

Xu Huang roared angrily: "Wishful thinking!"

"Then take a look!" Yan Yan sneered: "Order the first battalion and the second battalion to turn around. If they dare to retreat, I will forcibly defeat them!"

"Yes!"

The main force of the two battalions changed their formation in an instant, from attacking from the front to turning around on the flanks, and in an instant they concentrated seven inches in the formation of the Wei army on the right.

Xu Huang didn't expect the enemy to react so quickly. He had already lost his chance. At this time, he forcibly retreated. It would only be a defeat. He had to defeat them grandiosely on the battlefield.

"Come on!"

"exist!"

"The left wing that sent the order quickly, told General Yu Jin that a Ming army cavalry had pierced through our line of defense and had entered the rear wing from the front line. Let him be careful. It is best to take good care of the rear of the Chinese army. Be careful that this cavalry will Sneak attack on General Xiahou Dun!"

Xu Huang believed that this Ming army cavalry went deep alone, and the possibility of a sneak attack was relatively high, so the warning was given to Yu Jin to do a good job of defense, at least not to let this step of cavalry hinder Yu Jin's idea of ​​breaking through the enemy's battle formation.

"promise!"

The orderly rode away quickly.

"Since you want to play, a certain family will play with you!" Xu Huang's ferociousness also broke out. He charged forward, pointed in front, and roared angrily: "Xu Huang from a certain family, who is coming, tell me!" Get your name on!"

"The one who killed you, Yan Yan of the Ming Dynasty!"

Yan Yan did not lag behind the prestige at all, and the killing intent was condensed in the sound waves.

"Boys, defeat them!"

Xu Huang took the lead and rushed into the battle formation of the Ming army.

"Royal!"

Yan Yan didn't confront Xu Huang head-on at this time, but still had the word-wrapping formula. First, he established a defensive line, and then entangled their offense with his own defense.

The battlefield is very large, the two parts add up, nearly 10 people confront each other, and the battle line is also very long. The left and right wings and the central battlefield are all separated.

At this time, no one except the right-wing battlefield discovered that the Ming army already had a cavalry force that broke through the dividing line of the battlefield and entered the belly of the Wei army.

Meng Huo knew very well that he only had one chance, and he didn't have much time. If he couldn't make a quick decision, as long as part of the Wei army reacted, he would be defeated.

The reason why he chose the cavalry was that the cavalry was the fastest.

"General, there is a battalion of the main force of the Wei army ahead!"

"Just kill it!"

Meng Huo didn't make a detour, and he didn't have time to make a detour at this time. Breaking through the defense line of the Wei army and directly entering the central camp of the Wei army headquarters was his only goal.

"Yes!"

Three thousand cavalry led the order, raised their spears, and charged forward: "Kill!"

……

On the left-wing battlefield, Yu Jin felt that something was wrong. Compared with the central and right-wing battlefields, the Ming army on the left-wing battlefield seemed too gentle.

what happened?

Could it be that the Ming army was on the left and did not leave the main force? This is holding me back.

He has always been calm. Although he has guesses, he will not attack directly. He will only attack after being tested.

"Report to General, General Xu Huang on the right wing has just received news that a Ming army cavalry has forcibly broken through from their right wing battlefield, and now it has appeared in the belly of our battle line. They are entangled and unable to turn around and wipe out , ask me to send troops to the left-wing battlefield to destroy them, and also, be careful of this cavalry, they will attack the Chinese army!"

"Damn!"

Hearing the words, Yu Jin reacted quickly, feeling a chill in his heart. This is like letting a wolf into his back garden. What a dangerous thing. He roared angrily: "How could the Ming army cavalry break through our battle line?"
