Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1417 Take the initiative
"Is that so?" Cao Cao's character was inherently suspicious, and in his eyes, Mujing was more terrifying than any of the other princes, so he had to be careful.

"Actually, I also have some doubts. The more normal it is, the more abnormal it is!"

Guo Jia thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "But I didn't find anything, and I quit the battlefield in the northern suburbs and abandoned the Wanshui defense line. They are the ones who suffer. Why do they suffer? I can't think of it!"

"Then we have to try it out!"

Cao Cao took a deep breath: "Test the attack first, and see the reaction of the Ming army. As for the battlefield on the eastern front, we should also keep an eye on it to see their reaction!"

Now he is a little immovable, I don't understand the meaning.

"But my lord, we can't stay in this stalemate forever!"

Guo Jia reminded: "The more we guard too much, the more we lose the motivation to attack. Our goal is to take down Wancheng. Only when we take it down, can we gain a firm foothold in Nanyang!"

"I don't know!"

Cao Cao nodded.

The battlefield is not blindly defensive, the main thing is to attack, the more you try, the more afraid you are, the easier it is to lose your vigor and motivation to attack.

"In this way, we are probing for two days!" Cao Cao thought for a while, and said, "Order Yelou to collect all the news in the city, no matter what the news is, it must be reported!"

"promise!"

Guo Jia nodded.

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

After the Ming army withdrew from the Wancheng front line, the Wei army was at every step, and began to cross the completed front line, approaching the city.

But because of Cao Cao's fear, there has not been a complete war yet.

It's just that there is a sense of tension that is on the verge of breaking out in the air, and it has slowly risen in the formation of the two armies.

"Keep going!"

The Wei army began to suppress the bottom line of the Ming army and test the determination of the Ming army to defend the city.

"Archer ready!"

On the top of the city, there was a roar, and the archers stood up one after another, facing the city, as long as Wei Jun dared to step into the range, they would shoot arrows.

"I'm pressing harder and harder!"

Mujing didn't know when he had already climbed on the tower, his eyes flickered, and he said quietly: "But they are cautious enough, we withdraw our troops, they have no time to chase, let alone, but it is hard to win the Wanshui front Now, I dare not attack directly, I'm a little timid!"

"Your Majesty, the King of Wei has always been jealous of you. At this moment, he thinks that you must have concocted other schemes and tricks, and wants him to enter the urn obediently!"

Zhang Ren, a general next to him, clapped his hands and analyzed.

"Makes sense!"

Mu Jing sneered: "Come on, be afraid, you are too indecisive, this is not the Cao Mengde I know!"

Cao Cao, a hero through the ages.

But Qiangu Xiongxiong also has shortcomings, he is suspicious, so many of his actions will be involuntarily slowed down, which gives Mujing more time.

"Wait for you to watch, Gu won't go to the theater with them!"

Mu Jing glanced at the city, the most important thing in this battle is not here.

First, it depends on Chen Gong's strategic deployment.

Second, it depends on what effect the red cannon can exert in the end.

The red-clothed cannon fires artillery, which is unique in today's era. It is still unknown how much influence it will exert in the end.

Mu Jing walked down the city wall, and under the escort of the Shenwei Battalion, entered the old school grounds.

The artillery battalion is stationed here.

The school lieutenant of Paoying, a vicissitudes young man, not yet 30 years old, originally belonged to Jingping's Third Army, Fourth Battalion, and Battalion Sima.

He is a scholar, and he was born in a wealthy family.

His surname is Huangfu.

Huangfu Jianshou.

He is the last military god of the Han Dynasty, Huangfusong's own son.

Huangfusong used his own death to ignite the last King Qin battle. In this battle, Huangfusong was the first person to die.

After Huangfusong died in battle, his younger brother defected to the Ming Kingdom and became the spokesperson of the Ming Kingdom in Guanzhong, and is still in charge of Chang'an City.

Later, he searched for members of the Huangfu family in Guanzhong.

Although Huangfu Song died generously, he couldn't bear it after all, and took away his son and nephew. Huangfu Jianshou and Huangfu Li both survived.

Finally, under the recommendation of Huangfusong's younger brother, Huangfu Jianshou joined the army and entered the third army. From a military marquis to a battalion Sima, his outstanding ability attracted the attention of many people.

Zhang Liao and Jingping's Third Army Zhonglang General Gao Ding are very optimistic about him.

This time, Mu Jing took him away from the third army, and Gao Ding still looked at Mu Jing with a very resentful look.

Huangfu Jianshou survived.

Originally, with Huangfu's ability to live a long life, he could match the ability of a battalion captain, but the glorious reputation of Huangfu's family also brought him some aura of oppression.

So he has to come step by step.

Mujing selected the captain of the artillery battalion this time, he was the No. 1 selection, and he was personally found out from the third army, and after talking for half an hour, he was allowed to take up the post.

Because Huangfu was born in a powerful family of Jianshou, he has read a lot, has a wide range of knowledge, and also has a strong ability to accept. In addition, he has another advantage, that is, his thinking is more agile, and he will not be stubborn on the art of war.

This is Zhang Liao's comment on him.

It was precisely because of this comment that Mu Jing admired him, so he was selected as the commander of the artillery battalion.

The red-clothed cannon, this cross-age weapon, if there is no one who is particularly adaptable, active in thinking, and innovative, it will be easy to destroy the cannon camp with a fixed mindset.

At this time, the soldiers of the artillery battalion divided into [-] teams, and then surrounded the [-] cannons in red. Next to them were technicians from the Hongdu Institute of Science and Technology, who were working hard to explain to them .

"Jian Shou!"

Mujing came over.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Huangfu Jianshou was a little lost in thought. Under Mu Jing's voice, he came back to his senses and hurriedly saluted.

"No need to be too polite!" Mu Jing was not a very polite person, he supported Huangfu Jianshou, and then asked: "How is the control?"

"The last general is stupid and still familiar!"

In Huangfu Jianshou's heart at this moment, there are monstrous waves.

He finally knew why Mujing had to change his strategic deployment. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Ming army was at a disadvantage in the whole Wancheng situation.

At this time, counterattack, or it is a desperate battle.

But if you want to fight with your back, the conditions required are too harsh. First, the Ming army needs to have the will to die, but the Ming army has not reached this point yet, and they will not have such a desperate thought.

Second, Wei Jun failed to react in time.

If the Wei army sees through such a strategy, and the Wei army has absolute combat power, they can retreat step by step, avoiding the sharp edge, and the morale of the Ming army will be wiped out step by step. Stealing chickens is not enough to lose rice.

So the Ming army didn't have this idea at all.

And if you don't have the intention of fighting to the death, but turn from defense to offense, you must have absolute strength to support it. No matter how you look at it, the Ming army does not have such a force today.

Until they were expropriated, they came out of the battalions, and the established artillery battalion walked into the school yard and saw the strange weapons.

This weapon is called the Red Clothes Cannon.

It was the first time for Huangfu Jianshou to hear it, but he had an inexplicable fear of this huge and cumbersome weapon.

After these people explained, Huangfu Jianshou was even more frightened.

There is such a terrifying weapon in the world.

They also personally pulled a cannon to the southern suburbs, and then tried to fire a cannon in a hidden valley. The explosion they witnessed almost destroyed their worldview.

So Huangfu Jianshou understood how tenacious the confidence in King Ming's hands was.

"Your Majesty has a unique vision!" On the other hand, Ma Su, who was next to him, said with a smile: "Lieutenant Huangfu has the ability to draw inferences from one example, and he is very adaptable. He is not only familiar with the offensive method of the red cannon, but also deduces this weapon. combat tactics!"

"Master Ma praised it!" Huangfu Jianshou had only heard about the Academy of Science and Technology before, but after seeing the cannon in red with his own eyes, he felt that the horror of the Academy of Science and Technology, they have no fighting power, but they have destructive power. The appearance of a red-clothed cannon is more terrifying than thousands of troops.

"very good!"

Mu Jing smiled, and said: "Jian Shou, now you should also understand that Gu has put all his eggs in one basket, and Gu put all his hopes in this battle on Paoying, and you will be the winner of the decisive battle." , don't let Gu down!"

"The last general, Huangfu, will live a long life, and will never disappoint His Majesty's respect!"

Huangfu Jianshou took a deep breath and said with cupped hands.

"Your father is a very respectable person. Whether it is character or ability, he is the best in this era. He is not only the last loyal minister of the big man, but also the last military god of the big man. It's a pity..."

Mu Jing sighed: "He entrusted no one, not because he was defeated by an individual, but because he was defeated by this torrent, and in the end he could only be smashed to pieces!"

For a talent like Huangfusong, if he hadn't been too persistent, the princes of all parties would probably fight for it regardless of the cost.

"Father seeks benevolence and obtains benevolence!" Huangfu Jianshou said with a wry smile.

"Your father is dead, but his reputation has fallen. He is destined to be famous in history, so he will live a long life. Don't insult his reputation!" Mu Jing said in a low voice: "You have to let the world know, the Huangfu family Those people have not died yet, and the military spirit of the Huangfu family has not yet been wiped out!"

"Yes!"

Huangfu Jianshou went to the Ming Kingdom not only because of his uncle's recommendation, but also because the world is so big that there is no way out, looking at the princes of the world, only the Mujing of the Ming Kingdom can take them in.

He also didn't want the Huangfu family to decline.

So he must fight a beautiful battle.

Now that the opportunity has been given to him by Mujing, it depends on his own ability. He firmly believes that he can become famous all over the world in this battle.

"Continue to get familiar with it!" Mu Jing patted him on the shoulder: "Be careful, this kind of weapon hurts both people and yourself, you must learn to protect yourself in the face of an explosion!"

This is the first batch of artillerymen. Although they are random young men, they can be regarded as the most powerful among all armies. As long as they have been experienced in the battlefield and are really familiar with the operation of the red-clothed cannons, they will definitely be the most terrifying troops in the future.

"promise!"

Huangfu Jianshou nodded.

Ma Su had told him a long time ago that this weapon is flawed, and there is no way to absolutely make up for this flaw at present, so there is a possibility of bombing.

………………

Mu Jing came back from the school grounds and went straight to the headquarters.

In the headquarters, around a huge sand table, the generals were having a lively discussion. Their voices were loud, and they sometimes argued, and even quarreled directly.

The re-deduction of the strategic deployment is originally a tedious task. On the one hand, it is necessary to understand the strength of the two sides, and on the other hand, it must fit the terrain.

All aspects must be considered.

It is possible to formulate a better strategic deployment.

Mujing didn't care about them, but he faced the sand table and pondered for a long time. The existence of the red cannon, he still hasn't taken it out, not to guard against anyone, but to keep it more secret.

Ming State had Jingwu Division, and Wei State also had Yelou.

Wei Guo Yelou is not weak, especially in Nanzhou. The traitor of Jing Wusi, the Wuyin Zhu family, had a solid foundation in Nanyang, and almost wiped out Jing Wusi in Nanyang. Even Tan Zong In this incident, they broke their legs and became disabled.

Therefore, Mu Jing is not absolutely sure whether there are people in the night building here. Once the strategic deployment is made public and the artillery battalion is included, the leaked rumors may not have the effect of prediction.

The lethality of the artillery battalion is second, and the most important thing is that kind of deterrence.

He has only twenty guns.

There are not many shells.

The most important thing is that this kind of red cannon is only the primary mode of the artillery, and has not yet entered the advanced mode. It has great defects and usage restrictions, and its lethality is limited. It is impossible to kill half of your battalion with one shot. Under the coverage of the lethality , Even if the troops are concentrated, dozens of casualties are already the limit.

So the main thing is not lethality.

It's that kind of deterrence.

Twenty cannons bursting out at the same time, the deterrent force is definitely like the punishment of God, such a shock, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even the level of the general of the Wei army, will lose their minds, and even become desperate, this is enough to destroy the morale of the army , As soon as the morale of the army was broken, the Ming army took the opportunity to fight out, heartbroken for the dog in the water, and established the final victory.

This is Mujing's idea.

"Dong Dong Dong!!!!"

The sudden sound of war drums broke Mu Jing's mind, he suddenly came back to his senses, and looked up at the front.

"Report to the king, the Wei army has begun to attack!"

"Ok!"

Hearing the scout's report, Mu Jing was not surprised. He thought for a while and said, "Tell Zhang Ren, routine resistance is enough!"

"promise!"

"Public platform!"

Mu Jing suddenly called Chen Gong over.

"Your Majesty!"

Chen Gong came over and looked at Mu Jing.

"The offensive is advanced!"

Mu Jing said in a low voice: "I'll give you three hours, before sunset, I have to see a strategic plan to take the initiative to attack the main camp of the Wei army!"

"Night attack?"

"Yeah!" Mu Jing nodded: "It's also a good choice to fight a night battle!"

In night battles, the Ming army still has an advantage.

On the contrary, Wei Jun lacks an advantage in this regard.

If there is a counterattack, fighting a night battle may also be an option to restore the situation. As long as the front is pushed out, there will be a chance.
