Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1430 Sneak Attack Nine

As night fell, it was dark, the stars and the moon were dark, and you couldn't see your fingers.

Luoyang City is quiet.

The city gate suddenly opened a little bit, and then a soldier and horse quietly crossed the city wall and appeared in the barracks on the moat.

"Check the watch!"

Zhang Liao glanced over in a tent that was flickering with flames, and took out his pocket watch: "Depart at midnight, within two hours, all soldiers and horses must arrive at the battle position!"

Night attack, this is a very risky battle.

In the dark night, there is a little more luck, sometimes you hit the wrong person without knowing what happened, and it suddenly collapses.

But it is undeniable that night attack is also a more effective way of combat.

The target of the Ming army's night attack was naturally the Hebei Zhou army in the northern suburbs.

Of course, for Zhang Liao, this battle was at most just a scare, not a real night attack, but more of a cover for the withdrawal of the third army.

Zhaoming's third army drove straight in and entered Mengjin. This was mainly a defense against the Wei army, and this defense was more of an empty city plan.

But even so, Zhang Liao is sure that the Wei army will not take the initiative to attack. As long as the Wei army does not attack, they will have no way to find out whether it is the main force.

This is the essence of the empty city plan.

Also, an opportunity for them.

As long as Hulao Pass in the east is frightened, so that they dare not make any changes, in this way, they can concentrate their main force to attack the north, and the chances of winning against the Ming army are still relatively high.

"Zhaoming's first army is charging!"

Zhang Liao said in a low voice: "Attack at dawn. Remember, we must attack quickly, but we must also retreat quickly. There must be no half-hearted fighting!"

This battle is just a test, not a fight to the death, so whether it is fighting or withdrawing, speed is needed.

"promise!"

The generals surrendered.

………………

Tick ​​tock! ! ! ! !

The ticking sound of time in the funnel is slowly flowing away, after the time of Zi, and then the time of Chou, it is not far from dawn.

At this time, the battle formation of the Ming army had been successfully established, and as long as an order was given, it would launch the most violent attack on the Zhou army.

"It's almost dawn!"

In front of Zhou Jun's barracks, in a slanted valley, the main force of the Ming Army's Zhaoming First Army was staring intently at the barracks layout in front of them.

"Can we get the troop deployment map?"

With such a high city and thick walls, the deployment of troops is very important. A hard attack will cause a lot of losses. If he has to go to the point of being forced, he is willing to fight head-on.

However, as long as there is a chance, he will solve this problem first.

"The map of military deployment is too deep!" A young man knelt in front of him, shook his head, and said with a wry smile.

As the general banner of Jingwu Division, he is also very useful on the battlefield. He is responsible for obtaining the deployment map of the troops, but in the end he failed.

The main reason is that Hebei Zhou Jun's defense is getting stronger and stronger.

"If you can't get it, forget it!"

Zhang Liao doesn't necessarily need a military deployment map.

He looked at the time.

Just in time, he hurriedly said to Huang Shao: "General Huang Shao, you will personally lead the main force of the five battalions and prepare to attack. Once you start, you must be fast!"

He emphasized speed, because this battle was all about speed.

"Yes!"

Huang Shao took the order.

Zhaoming's First Army attacked.

"kill!"

"Rush in!"

"Boys, cut off one by one!"

A flash of flames streaked across the sky, and a silent city suddenly became bustling, and the shouts of killing soaring to the sky and shaking the earth woke people up from their dreams.

"Night attack by the Ming army?"

"Quick, defend!"

"Help!"

"Gather, gather soon!"

Zhou Jun's barracks suddenly became chaotic.

"Night raid?"

As a general of the Zhou army, when Yan Xing woke up from the main tent, the entire camp was already in flames, and he immediately became angry: "You are so courageous, since you are here, you don't have to leave!"

He slapped away, picked up his weapon and rushed out.

"Yan Xing, your target is me!"

Huang Shao appeared.

Although he was born as a counselor, he was also a fierce general who fought against Mushan in the past.

Not necessarily Yan Xing's opponent.

But blocking is no problem.

"Huang Shao!" Yan Xing's gaze became even uglier.

The two sides began to fight, and the Hebei Zhou army retreated steadily. The tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the entire vanguard army became a little chaotic.

When the Hebei Zhou army became chaotic, the Ming army seemed to be brought into confusion.

One thing that is not good about night battles is that there is not enough light, which not only hurts others, but also easily hurts yourself, so the target sometimes has no way to find them back.

………………

"what?"

Yuan Shao woke up from the dream, and he was very angry. He didn't take the initiative to attack, but let the Ming army seize the opportunity, and instead attacked him at night.

He became a little angry: "The front battalion has no defense at all, how could it be like this!"

The Pioneer Battalion is one of his trump cards.

Suddenly besieged.

Really distressed

But at this time, he could only press down firmly.

"Pass my military order, order, the euphorbia soldiers press up!" Yuan Shao couldn't bear it, and still mobilized the most elite soldiers and horses under his command to help.

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

It took only two hours before and after a night attack, and they had all withdrawn from the battlefield at Maoshi, leaving behind a wounded Hebei Zhou army's soldiers.

It was dawn, and the darkness before dawn was gradually fading away. The horizon crossed by the sun, under the soft sunlight, made the battlefield in the northern suburbs look very embarrassing.

"How about the casualties?"

Zhou Jun's camp, all the generals gathered, Yuan Shao's face was like black coal.

"Three thousand eight hundred and seventy-two sons lost in battle!"

A general who counted the logistics stood up, cupped his hands and reported, "There are more than 27 soldiers seriously injured!"

In this battle, they suffered heavy losses.

"Our scout, Beacon Tower, why is there no warning at all!" Yuan Shao cried out in desperation.

It was the first time that he was directly touched by the enemy.

This made him very distressed.

"Report to Your Majesty, the scouts of the Ming army took the lead in sweeping us away, and most of our scouts were not as powerful as the scouts of the soldiers of the Ming army, and finally found nothing!"

A scout captain stood up and said with cupped hands.

"Humph!"

Yuan Shao snorted coldly.

His eyes fell on Tian Feng's body, Tian Feng's expression was a little deep, he fell silent, without saying a word, but his eyes flickered back and forth, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

"Yuan Hao, what did you think of?" Yuan Shao asked.

"Your Majesty!"

Tian Feng came back to his senses, cupped his hands and said: "I was just thinking about why the Ming army would suddenly attack at night. Although a night attack is a kind of offensive speed, it is easy to miss. The Ming army also paid a lot of money to sneak attack us. The price, but what is he planning?"

This made Tian Feng very suspicious.

The Ming army's night attack, if it was just a simple night attack, it was nothing, but after walking around, you have to pay attention.

"You keep talking!"

Yuan Shao's rationality at this time is also lost, and his pupils have a cold look.

"I suspect that the Ming army's move is intended to cover up, but it's not clear exactly what to cover up, but we must be careful!"

Tian Feng said in a low voice.

Since the Ming army stationed in Mengjinkou, there was something abnormal, but there was no way to guess what the Ming army was thinking, and there was no result.

"cover?"

Yuan Shao frowned, he couldn't figure it out either.

He took a deep breath: "No matter what, let's hold back the allies first. With my own strength, it's very easy to defeat the Ming army!"

He was a little confident before.

But after battle after battle, his self-confidence was not enough.

The ally he mentioned was naturally the Yan Kingdom of Youzhou.

The Yan army was stationed at the sunset pavilion, and they could reach the west gate in an instant.

To attack Luoyang, you can share your attention quickly if you want to quickly, which will help them pinch the Ming army.

"It should be fine over there!"

Tian Feng thought for a while and said: "But the main thing is us, we must always attack, we can't pin our hopes on anyone, as long as we are strong enough, we can hold down the princes of the world!"

Regardless of whether the Yan army fights or not,
They definitely want to fight, and the arrow is on the string, so they have to launch.

This is Zhou Jun's strategy.

Closed place.

Hebei Zhou Kingdom must be won, otherwise it will be difficult to have the effect of classics on future strategic deployment.

"I know!"

Yuan Shao nodded and said, "I never put my hopes on anyone, but I still hope that they can consume some of the Ming army's strength!"

The Ming army is too strong, sometimes they can't fight, so they need a cannon fodder.

But they didn't expect it.

The best candidate for their cannon fodder has already been frightened by the Ming army and jumped aside. Currently, they dare not act rashly, let alone attack.

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

The midday sun was a bit violent.

Ming Army Command.

Zhang Liao patted his forehead, wrapped the white gauze around his left ear, and there was faint blood seeping out from under the white gauze.

Last night's battle, he was injured by the loss.

Almost died.

Even though he is powerful and invincible with the power of Yuan Gang, he is still very dangerous in a chaotic battlefield. If the personal guards did not block half of the arrows for him, most of the arrows would penetrate his head.

This is the battlefield, a dangerous battlefield.

The most dangerous battlefield is the battlefield of night raids. Under night raids, there will be serious and sudden changes in the strategic deployment. At that time, it will be disrupted. You fight yours, I fight mine, whether it is an enemy or a friend , it is difficult to distinguish clearly.

Not to mention Zhang Liao, even Lu Bu might not dare to say that he would be able to survive in a chaotic battlefield.

"General Zhonglang, don't move lightly these days, I've already stitched up the wound, but you must cultivate!" The military doctor ordered beside him.

"I see!"

Zhang Liao took a deep breath.

His injury was unexpected, he didn't know if it would affect the next battle, but at that time he could only do his best.

"Last night's battle, you retreated too slowly!" Xi Zhicai stared at Zhang Liao and said in a low voice.

"I know!"

Zhang Liao sighed: "It's not that we withdrew too slowly, but that Zhou's army reacted too quickly. Yuan Shao personally released the euphorbia soldiers, and we were almost intercepted!"

Last night's night raid battle, the first half of the fight was quite exciting, killing their vanguard army and defeating them, but the second half was a bit miserable.

The euphorbia warriors of the Zhou army are definitely the elite among the elite, and they are still heavy armored soldiers. Under the formation, they are like iron towers, which is very shocking.

In the end, they were almost stopped halfway by them, but fortunately they rushed out, otherwise they would suffer a big loss.

"Forget it this time, we will have to plan more carefully in the future, otherwise it will be too easy to suffer!" Xi Zhicai blamed himself.

The plan was deduced by him, but the time was too rushed to make a detailed plan, so there were some problems.

"How about the Third Army?"

Only then did Zhang Liao ask in a low voice.

"Most of the main force has been withdrawn!" Xi Zhicai also replied in a low voice: "Min Wu is very capable, and his commanding power is also very strong. Although the Qiang army is wild, they obey his military orders. It took me a lot of effort!"

"Then there is only an empty shelf left in Mengjinkou!"

"Half a battalion of troops is left!"

"What if Wei Jun attacks?"

"Then withdraw!" Xi Zhicai said: "You can't have both, since we have chosen this side of the main battlefield, there is a gamble that Wei Jun will not dare to test us!"

Wei Jun's tenacious defense of Hulao Pass is actually a relatively dangerous move.

After all, there are still tens of thousands of elites.

If Xia Houyuan broke out suddenly, with the speed of his soldiers, he might be caught off guard. That's why he marched to Mengjinkou first, and then withdrew from Mengjinkou.

In this way, in the eyes of many people, their strength is at Mengjinkou, guarding against the Wei army.

Whether Wei Jun dared to send troops to test is still unknown.

After all, Hulao Pass is the most important thing to them, and Xia Houyuan is also a prudent person. In this way, one thing more is worse than one thing less, and he will definitely not attack lightly.
