Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1414 New Weapon

Not long after the battle in the eastern suburbs ended, the letter was quickly sent back to the Ming army headquarters in the city.

Mu Jing expressed surprise.

"I've already prepared the worst plan for the eastern front!" It was already midnight at this time, and Mu Jing had already fallen asleep and was woken up. After all, no one dared to hide such a big matter from him. , he looked at the military performance in his hand, squinted his eyes slightly, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth: "But Wenpin, Meng Huo, Yan Yan, they gave Gu a surprise!"

"The subordinates believe that it is mainly because they have completed mutual trust and cooperation that they fought this battle!"

Chen Gong began to analyze: "With our strength and morale, we are not enough to counterattack the Wei army on the battlefield in the eastern suburbs. It is already good to be able to stop them, but unfortunately, this battle not only suppresses Stopped Wei Jun, and even fought back. According to the results of the usual deduction, this is a super-level performance. The most important thing is the cooperation between Jingping's Fourth Army and Violent Bear's Second Army.

General Wen Zhongye trusted Meng Huo, so he dared to confront the Wei army head-on. General Meng Huo trusted General Yan Yan, so he dared to hand over the command of the Fourth Army to General Yan Yan. For the two of them, without half a ounce of trust, it would be impossible to accomplish this! "

"Ok!"

Mu Jing nodded, agreed with Chen Gong's analysis, thought for a while, and said: "This is a good thing for us. The Eastern Front will be at least five days away, and the Wei army will not be able to launch an offensive again!"

Attacking requires strong morale support.

This battle of the Ming army may not achieve much results, and it may not even cause much casualties to the main force of the Wei army, but the main battalion was burned, and the damage to its morale must be huge.

Without a strong fighting spirit to motivate their morale, there is no way to display their combat effectiveness. At this time, as long as they are not stupid, they will not launch a suicide attack.

"My lord, although we have breathed a sigh of relief, it may not be a good thing. Which of our Wei kings may not swallow this breath, and even launch a general attack on our Wancheng ahead of time!"

Chen Gong said worriedly: "One is to suppress our morale, which is more and more courageous, and the other is to restore the morale drop caused by their two unfavorable battles. No matter what the reason is, they can't let their morale get weaker and weaker. , must be on the battlefield, find the field, and boost morale!"

The battlefield is a place where life and death are intertwined. Not many people can face the horror between life and death. Soldiers not only fight against the enemy, but also overcome their own fear.

And morale is their best weapon to overcome their fear of death.

Things like morale seem to be useless, but sometimes the thing that can lay the groundwork for a war, strong morale, is like sinking a boat, with one mind, fighting with one's back and fighting hard, it will explode with [-]% fighting power.

If there is no morale, even if the number of soldiers and horses is more than ten times that of the enemy army, it is okay to fight against the wind. However, most of the Han Dynasty courts were ordinary farmers who had never been on the battlefield. They took advantage of the trend and had a great momentum.

So on the battlefield, morale is sometimes very important.

Cao Cao would not allow the morale of the Wei army to be low. He could only find the momentum of the Wei army's overwhelming momentum from the morale of the Wei army on the battlefield.

"You mean, Cao Mengde will fight with his back?" Mu Jing's eyes flashed brightly, and his mood became a little restless. Cao Mengde, such a peerless hero, is really uncertain.

"It's not impossible!"

Chen Gong nodded.

"It is indeed necessary to guard against it!"

Mu Jingtou also has a great sense of existence about this possibility: "If they press the main force ahead of time, won't we be under a lot of pressure?"

"At least the northern battlefield must rely on the walls of Wancheng, or they will be defeated by them!"

Chen Gong said in a deep voice.

"Wei army has a lot of powerful generals. In this respect, our army is inferior!" Ma Chao interrupted suddenly, and said to Mu Jing, "If the Wei army Lu Bu, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu all go into battle, we may not be able to stop them!"

A top-notch fierce general, martial arts has been superb, his whole body is condensed, and his invulnerability is a bit exaggerated, but ordinary lethality may not be able to hurt him. One person can form an army, with extreme speed and strength. No one in the world.

Such a person will destroy the balance of the battlefield.

So Ma Chao's worries were not superfluous at all.

"Does Huang Zhong have any news?"

"He should have received the news from us, but he must arrange the affairs of Wuguan and explain the defense of Wuguan. Even if he travels south day and night, it will take two or three days!"

Chen Gong replied.

Mu Jing paced back and forth, because of his notoriety in the world these years, he actually couldn't recruit many talents, and there are not many famous generals in the Ming army now.

Not as good as in the Wei army camp.

Moreover, the Ming army paid more attention to the ability of the commander, rather than the individual fighting alone.

However, on the battlefield of cold weapons, the extremely powerful generals still have a decisive effect. Their existence is the existence of disrupting the balance of the battlefield.

In this regard, the Ming army is insufficient.

It can only be blocked by the bed crossbow battle formation, but neither the bed crossbow nor the battle formation is flexible. They can block these fierce generals head-on, but once they are replaced, they will definitely not be as flexible as these fierce generals.

At that time, the formation of the Ming army must have weaknesses, which can provide them with a breakthrough to break through. If they break through, the Wei army will be able to drive straight in.

"Close up the front lines!" Mu Jing pinched the bridge of his nose, and finally said helplessly, if they don't close up the front lines, they will be targets, and they can attack wherever they want to attack.

"Then I will give up all the activity areas outside the city. Strategically speaking, we will suffer!" Chen Gong replied.

"Then there is a better way to deal with it?"

Mu Jing looked at Chen Gong.

"This subordinate is dull, and can't think of a better way to deal with it!" Chen Gong shook his head.

In fact, there are not many top-level military advisers in the Ming army, Xi Zhi is only one, and Chen Gong can only be regarded as half. Chen Gong has the power of layout, but lacks the ability to react on the battlefield. This is a fatal flaw.

The strength of the Ming army is due to its general combat effectiveness. Whether it is top generals or top strategists, there are actually not many, not even as good as Wei Ying.

"Then close the front line first!" Mu Jing took a deep breath, and said directly: "For the time being, the troops on the front in the eastern suburbs can stay outside the city and deal with them, but they are stationed outside the city after all, so they must be careful.

Once we give up the confrontation outside the northern suburbs, the Wei army will not need to restrain their hands and feet. At that time, they can move the main force to the east at any time. Our two armies can easily be surrounded by them, so we told Wenpin And Meng Huo and the others, if they find something is wrong, they will withdraw immediately! "

"promise!"

Chen Gong took the order and said: "I will send a letter to them immediately!"

"Is there any news on the Guanzhong battlefield?" Looking at the gloomy sky outside, Mu Jing saw that the bloody battle had already begun on the Wancheng battlefield.

But there is no news yet, which makes Mu Jing feel a little restless.

"not yet!"

Chen Gong shook his head: "I can't figure out what Xi Shenzheng and General Zhang Liao are thinking. According to the previous news, they have no intention of giving in, but the decisive battle in Luoyang will be a big disadvantage for them!"

"Zhang Wenyuan is calm and has the style of a general. No matter what time he can hold the battlefield, I am a little worried about Xi Zhicai!" Mu Jing knew Xi Zhicai best, and he said bitterly: "This guy is easy to go wrong with his sword. !"

Many people in the world say that Ming Wang Mujing is good at taking the edge of the sword on the battlefield. In fact, it is not the case. It is not only Mujing who likes the edge of the sword, but also Xi Zhicai. He is sometimes more adventurous than Mujing.

On the Guanzhong battlefield, in fact, the concentration of troops was even greater, and the situation was even more dangerous for the Ming Dynasty. The Yan army in Youzhou, the Zhou army in Hebei, and the Wei army were the main forces besieging the Ming army.

Although the Ming army has the first Zhaoming army, the second Zhaoming army, and the third Zhaoming army, the main force of the three armies, plus a few independent combat battalions, their strength is not strong.

Yuan Benchu ​​alone almost came out in full force, as well as Liu Bei and Cao Cao's soldiers and horses. This battle was actually very dangerous.

The strategy deduced at the beginning was more to retreat to Hongnong and rely on Tongguan to fight this battle, but letting go of Luoyang is tantamount to letting go of Henan Road.

It is easier for the coalition forces of the princes to go south along the Henan Road and Wuguan.

That's why Zhang Liao and Xi Zhicai put the battlefield in Luoyang. It was not unreasonable. What's more, they were taking into account the Ming army's battlefield in Nanyang.

After all, Mujing is in Nanyang.

They can deal with the defeat in the Guanzhong battlefield, but once the Nanyang battlefield is defeated, the Ming army may be defeated like a mountain.

"It's not enough to participate in politics, right?" Chen Gong thought for a while, and said, "When he was in the Privy Council, he was very stable!"

"That's why you don't know him!"

Mu Jing smiled wryly: "Intellect is also insane, and the Son of Heaven is also a lunatic. There is no limit to this. His stability is just for you to see. Otherwise, how could he become a member of the Ming Dynasty to participate in politics!"

"Even if the sword is slanted, now facing a heavy army gathering, can he still take the risk to attack?"

"Only you can't think of it, and he wouldn't dare to do it without him!" Mu Jing thought for a while, and said: "Go and order Jing Wusi to keep an eye on the Guanzhong battlefield. If there is any news, report it immediately!"

"promise!"

Chen Gong nodded.

"It's almost dawn!" Mu Jing felt a little tired. This battlefield is like this. Sometimes you can't sleep well. In the ever-changing battlefield, it takes days and nights to fight. Even if you rest, a message can cause trouble up.

"Your Majesty, go and rest for a while!" Ma Chao advised in a low voice.

"no need!"

Mu Jing shook his head, and said: "After dawn, we have to close our defenses. A big war may break out immediately. Our army is at a disadvantage. Although the sons and daughters have the will to fight, they may not be able to stop them. I have to keep an eye on the northern front battlefield in person. Well, if the Wei army is serious about breaking the boat and fighting with their backs, then he will be the greatest spiritual support for the soldiers!"

The Ming army is all professional soldiers, trained every day, absolutely elite, but the elite are also human beings, and there are also times of weakness and fear.

When the enemy's army is too strong, their strength surpasses their own by a lot, and they are retreating steadily on the battlefield, they will also be disheartened and depressed, their morale will collapse, and finally they will be defeated.

At this time, the existence of Mujing is a light that can make the soldiers grit their teeth in the darkness and survive.

As the King of Ming, he himself is a belief of Ming Kingdom.

This is also the reason why many emperors fought in person. Once the morale is stimulated, it seems that the soldiers will be fearless and burst out with absolute fighting power.

The existence of one person is sometimes more useful to the battlefield than the strength of two more armies.

"We are incompetent, let the king suffer!"

All the generals could feel Mu Jing's fatigue, and his determination to stand where the soldiers could see even if he was tired. Only this kind of monarch made the generals willing to work hard.

"It's only for the Ming country!"

Mu Jing smiled.

The Ming Kingdom is already a ship, not only himself, but these soldiers are fighting for him on this ship, and he is fighting for the Ming Kingdom, as if a cycle has been formed.

"For Ming!"

The morale of the generals suddenly inflated, and they spoke in unison, and the sound waves condensed and echoed in the city.

………………

In the early morning, when Mujing was ready to climb the top of the city and the Guanming army withdrew from the Wancheng front, Jin Jiu, the captain of the Shenwei Battalion, suddenly came to report something.

"Academy of Science and Technology?"

Mu Jing frowned slightly: "If you send a weapon, you will give it a weapon. There is nothing to hide."

"I'm afraid it's different!" Jin Jiu said: "Many researchers from the Academy of Science and Technology have come!"

"What, these people are restless doing research and development in Yudu, why are they here to join in the fun at this time?" Mu Jing was a little angry.

Hongdu Institute of Science and Technology is a sacred place of scientific research in today's world, a place that can change the times, everyone there is Mujing's treasure, and they are usually reluctant to touch it, even if the men in Ming Dynasty are dead and the women go to bed. He will not mobilize these experts to act as strong men when he is on the battlefield.

At this time, they came to Wancheng, a battlefield where life and death were fought, and even Mu Jing himself could not guarantee that he could get out of it alive, which made him a little angry.

"Not only that, this batch of weapons was sent by Master Ma personally!"

Jin Jiu said in a low voice: "He also mobilized a part of the Imperial Guard Battalion, and Jing Wusi secretly escorted him. I'm afraid it's not a simple weapon!"

The director Ma he was talking about was the director of Hongdu Institute of Science and Technology, the number one scientific research expert under Mu Jing, and the most eye-catching scientist in this era.

Ma Su, Ma Changkong.

The existence of Ma Changkong is unknown together, but as the Academy of Science and Technology laid countless new gadgets for the Ming Dynasty, such as water wheels that can help irrigation, such as clock towers that calculate time, such as telescopes, and cement , glass and other things that changed the era appeared, his name has begun to be known by many people, and even the major princes have people who want to tie him back, his security level is second only to the existence of Mujing.

"Then go and have a look!" Hearing this, Mu Jing's heart skipped a beat.

He suddenly thought of that thing, but then shook his head, it shouldn't be so easy to develop it successfully.

He couldn't help muttering to himself: No way!
