Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1444

Tian Feng's suicide can be called heroic.

Zhang Liao was also taken aback.

It took a long time to react, but he had to admit that even if it was hostile, he would admire this military adviser who was born as a scholar.

There will always be some heroes in the world, no matter what their position is, their loyalty makes you admire.

But admiration is admiration, and the position will not change.

"Come on!"

"exist!"

"This man is a hero, a loyal minister of a generation, even if he is an enemy, he should be respected, his body must not be damaged, and he should be placed properly!" Zhang Liao sighed and said softly.

Logically, he became angry from embarrassment, because he failed to achieve his goal, he should vent his anger on this person, after all, it wasn't Tian Feng, he might have caught Yuan Shao.

Once Yuan Shao was caught, there would be no suspense in this battle.

But now, Yuan Shao escaped.

After he gathers the main force, he will definitely come back.
The war will continue.

Hate it, hate it, but I can't complain.

"promise!"

The personal guards handed over their hands and led two or three soldiers to send the man's body back to the camp, and found a camp bed to put it in place.

"Clean the battlefield and prepare to withdraw!"

Zhang Liao didn't think that they could sit back and relax at this moment. Destroying the Zhou army's middle battalion was equivalent to defeating the Zhou army's morale, but it would take time.

At this time, it is time to fight for perseverance.

It was Zhou Jun who collapsed first.

They were defeated by Zhou Jun first.

It just depends on whose fate is tougher.

"in addition!"

Zhang Liao's eyes became sharper: "Order Jingwu Division's spies to notify Zhaoming's First Army and Zhaoming's Second Army as soon as possible to withdraw from the battlefield. Let's join them at the original place!"

Zhang Liao's next target was not Luo Yang.

Luo Yang, he has given up.

There is no point in going back, and at this time, Luo Yang is just a thrown bone and will become the target of public criticism.

He wants to retreat to Mang Mountain.

This is his choice in response to Zhou Jun's final counterattack.

The Zhou army had already lost this battle, but in the end there must be enough energy to fight back. After all, Yuan Shao still had the main force in his hands, and his strength was still higher than that of the Ming army. If he fought hard, the Ming army would still be very dangerous.

"promise!"

The orderlies on the left and right immediately passed on the military orders layer by layer.

"General!"

At this moment, Min Wu came over. He was soaked in blood, and he fought bravely. It was conceivable that a pair of cold eagle-like eyes were still glowing blood-red, and his fighting spirit had not retreated.

"General Minwu Zhonglang, how about the casualties of the soldiers?"

Looking at the brightening sky, Zhang Liao asked in a low voice.

"Hit too hard, kill [-] enemies, and damage yourself [-] times!"

Min Wu felt a little sad.

These are all his Qiang people.

In order to rush in, he charged desperately and paid a heavy price. Among the corpses on the ground, at least one-third belonged to soldiers of the Ming army.

"specific number?"

"More than [-] were lost, more than [-] soldiers were injured, more than [-] were seriously injured, and more than a quarter of the combat power was lost!" Min Wu said quickly.

"How is the morale of the army?" Zhang Liao asked worriedly.

Losing too many soldiers and horses will inevitably affect the morale of the army. The death of Paoze in battle can cause the soldiers close to him to feel sad, and under the influence of sad emotions, it will shake the morale of the army.

"The military spirit is still stable!"

Min Wu replied: "I Qiang people originally lived in the worst environment, and life and death are commonplace. Although this battle has paid a heavy price, it will not break the morale of my Zhaoming Third Army!"

"That's good!"

Zhang Liao breathed a sigh of relief: "We haven't reached the time of victory yet. At this time, persistence is the most important thing. We can't let all our previous efforts go to waste, and we can't let our soldiers die in vain."

"I see!"

Min Wu nodded.

At this point, casualties are unavoidable. The only thing these generals can do is not to be merciful or heartbroken here, but to let the soldiers they casualties die worthwhile, so that their military achievements can be completely restored. implementation.

If this battle is won, Zhaoming's third army will be the first to contribute. If this battle is lost, it will not be credit, but they will even be held accountable.

On the battlefield, heroes are always judged by success or failure, and meritorious service is the same. Those who have lost a battle are not qualified to claim military merit, and the Ming army is indeed the most dependent on military merit. Military merit, the so-called nepotism, has been greatly weakened.

Without military merits, even the children of the royal family, the son of the Mu family, would not be respected or trusted in the army.

"General, Zhou Jun's reinforcements from Luoyang have already rushed in, less than 800 meters away from us!"

Scout report! "

"withdraw!"

Zhang Liao glanced at the battlefield, gritted his teeth, and said, "The living are more important than the dead. It is indeed important to clean the battlefield and contain the corpses of Erlang who died in battle, but we don't have time now, so we should withdraw immediately, and we can't let them pester you." , once they get entangled, they will definitely be surrounded by their main force!"

"Yes!"

Although Min Wu was not reconciled, he had to hold his nose and agree. There is a saying that Zhang Liao is right, the living are more important than the dead, and with military registration, every soldier who dies will receive the Ming Kingdom. With the utmost respect.

"General, where are the prisoners?"

At this time, a captain asked.

Nearly [-] soldiers of the Zhou army were captured in this battle.

"killed?"

Min Wu's killing sprang up.

"Killing prisoners is a felony in the Ming army's military regulations!"

Zhang Liao cast a sidelong glance at Min Wu: "I'll just pretend I've never heard of that!"

The Ming army's first emphasis on military discipline and military regulations was finalized after discussions between the Privy Council and Zhaoming Pavilion, and Mu Jing's will was most reflected in it.

Killing prisoners is an inhumane thing.

And for the battlefield, it is also an unnecessary method. It is unnecessary to use this method to embody ferocity. To kill more people may cause fear for a while, and it is more anger.

The key point is that everyone is very important to the land of China now. Once the Ming Kingdom dominates the world in the future, these people will all be the people of Ming Dynasty.

Mu Jing knows the future. It is precisely because of the war of the Three Kingdoms and the centuries of fighting that ruined generations of Han people, and made the Central Plains enter the weakest period. Only then did the five random China come into being. The Han people are not as good as dogs, like sheep with two feet. Alien slaughter.

Therefore, Mujing pays special attention to the population issue.

Nor will they kill prisoners on the battlefield.

After all, in the final analysis, these are all Central Plains people and Han people. The battle in the Central Plains, where life and death were fought, was just a civil war.

But under selfishness, no one can escape this battle.

The only way.

Only war can stop war.

"Let it go!"

Zhang Liao thought for a while, and said: "Of course, leave some news for them. They have already been defeated by us, and Tian Feng killed himself in this battle, but Yuan Shao abandoned his general and fled. Soldiers, those who have great influence, let them go, maybe it will be more helpful to us."

"Yes!"

The captain took the order.

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

When Yuan Shao came back with Wen Chou and Ju Yi, it was already noon the next day.

On this ruined battlefield.

All I saw was a mess.

There was blood on the ground.

It is a corpse one by one.

There were those from the Ming army and those from the Zhou army, and most of them were soldiers from the Zhou army. It can already be seen from the scene that the battle was one-sided.

"Yuan Hao!!!"

Yuan Shao was in the camp, looking at Tian Feng's body, wanting to cry but without tears, he screamed in grief and indignation: "The pain is so lonely!"

Tian Feng's death in battle made him feel a little guilty.

And more of a fear.

On the battlefield, life and death should be seen through, but no one can see through. Tian Feng can die in battle. In Yuan Shao's heart, fear of the battlefield may have been born for the first time.

"My Majesty's condolences!"

The generals bowed their heads to the ground, clasped their hands and shouted.

"How sad!" Yuan Shao stood up abruptly, his eyeballs seemed to be burning blood red, he was really angry, and even had a heart to drive out the Ming army at all costs: "Don't kill Zhang Wenyuan , the sorrow of loneliness cannot be stopped!"

His tiger eyes swept across: "Who would want to take Zhang Wenyuan's head for Gu, so as to comfort Yuan Hao's spirit in the sky!"

The generals were silent.

At this moment, any fighting spirit is just pale and powerless.

Hit this far.

No one thought of it.

The most important thing.

forage.

If they had been able to attack the Ming army with fighting spirit and crushing force before, they could suppress the defeat of the army caused by the sneak attack on Wangyue Mountain and the burning of food and grass.

So now, after being shot back by the Ming army, all the powerful illusions have collapsed.

The burning of food and grass will quickly make the lieutenants lose their fighting spirit.

The three armies went ahead without using food and grass.

This shows the importance of food and grass in an army,
Army without food.

That is the most ineffective army.

"Your Majesty!"

At this time, Ju Yi suddenly cupped his hands and said: "On Wangyue Mountain, our army's millions of food and grass have been burned. Now the food in the army is in danger. I'm afraid we can't fight anymore. Please withdraw your troops at the end!"

"Bastard!"

At this moment, Yuan Shao was very angry because of Tian Feng's death. When Ju Yi said this, he suddenly became angry. He suddenly drew his sword and slashed it down: "Those who say to withdraw troops, kill!"

"Your Majesty can't!"

"Don't, Your Majesty!"

Several generals rushed forward, barely blocking Yuan Shao.

But the sword still cut across Ju Yi's side face.

There was a bloodstain on his face.

At this moment, Ju Yi still couldn't recover, because he couldn't believe that Yuan Benchu ​​dared to treat him like this and kill him on the spot.

It wasn't that he couldn't hide, but he couldn't react. Even though Yuan Shao had been afraid of him for many years, he knew that Yuan Shao was very wary of his military power, but he never thought that Yuan Shao would kill him.

So in front of Yuan Shao, he has never had much defense.

At this moment, the pain on his face was not as good as the grief and indignation in his heart.

He has been fighting for Yuan Shao for many years, and his status is not as good as Tian Feng, not as good as Jushou, not as good as Yan Liang, not as good as Wen Chou, so forget it, but at this moment.

He is really cold hearted.

"There is a mistake in the end, please punish the king!"

He knelt down, and after admitting his mistake, he didn't say a word.

At this moment, Yuan Shao came back to his senses. He looked at the sword marks on Ju Yi's side face, and felt a trace of regret in his heart. Even if he was angry, he shouldn't vent his anger on Ju Yi.

But as a nobleman, he was arrogant and a king, so how could he apologize to a soldier.

This is where he is inferior to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao can cut off his hair as a substitute, but he will never admit his mistake with arrogance.

"I will never destroy the Ming army, never give up!"

Yuan Shao sat down and said forcefully: "Our main force still has more than a hundred thousand elites, how can we stop there!"

"Yes!"

At this time, none of the generals will disobey Yuan Shao's thoughts. After all, generals like Ju Yi were almost beheaded.

"Clean the battlefield, scouts attack with all their strength!"

Yuan Shao said coldly: "The traces of the Ming army must be found!"

"in addition!"

He should also give some sweet dates to the generals at this time, at least don't let them think that he has no chance of winning: "Although the Wangyue Mountain granary has been destroyed, our army's ration road is still there, and there will be two thousand carts of grain and grass today. Transported from the north bank of the Yellow River!"

"Great!"

"In this way, there is still power to fight!"

When the generals heard the words, a sliver of hope kindled in their hearts.

With the support of food and grass, they can still fight.

Although the Ming army is very strong, they have an advantage in strength.

"in addition!"

Yuan Shao became ruthless at this time, and he said coldly: "Send someone to tell Shenpei and Xun Zhan, tell them that if the Yan army and Wei army in Youzhou can send troops, the Guanzhong land is unnecessary, as long as Henan is a land, there is only one place. What's more, they helped Gu kill this Ming army in Henan, and they will never give them any hope of escaping!"

"Your Majesty!"

The generals are not very reconciled.

"go with!"

Yuan Shao shouted angrily.

"promise!"

The generals took the lead.

Half an hour later, there was a battle report from the west.

"what?"

Yuan Shao glared angrily: "How can you let them run away?"

The messenger trembled, facing Yuan Shao's anger, he almost couldn't breathe, and even his breathing was trembling: "Our army is short of strength, they took the opportunity to break through together, General Yan Xing, General Gao Lan, can't stop it! "

Zhang He and Ju Yi were worried about Yuan Shao, so they brought their troops back. Yan Xing and Gao Lan naturally couldn't stop Zhaoming's first army and second army from breaking through together.

"Where did they break out?"

Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and asked.

The Zhongying was raided, which messed up the entire strategic deployment, and all the layout of the Zhou army was messed up, so Zhaoming's first army and second army couldn't be trapped, which he expected. Of course, he still had some feelings for Yan Xing and Gao Lan. Just a little disappointed.

"north!"

The messenger said.

"Mongshan?"

Yuan Shao stared.

"My lord, the scouts discovered that the main force of the Ming army that raided our army last night was also looking towards Beimang!"

At this time, the scout captain also came back to report.

"They abandoned Luoyang and raided our army's main camp, but in the end they rushed to Beimang. It seems that they want to take advantage of Beimang's terrain advantage to defend!"

Yuan Shao's eyes were bright, and he was full of fighting spirit: "But I won't give them such a chance!"

"Pass my military order, the whole army wants to surround Beimang!"

"Yes!"

The generals took the lead.

"Your Majesty!"

At this time, Zhang He suddenly wanted to say something, but he hesitated to speak. The most important thing was the profiteering line on Ju Yi's face, which made him a little afraid.

"Say what you want!" Yuan Shao said coldly.

"If this battle continues, our army will struggle!"

Zhang He still bite the bullet and said: "My lord, the last general still thinks that besieging the Ming army is a bad move. The situation is not good for our Zhou army, and..."

"And what?"

"Yan Jun and Wei Jun, I'm afraid they may not help us besiege the Ming army in the end, but they will besiege us!" Zhang Yun gritted his teeth and said these words.

"impossible!"

Yuan Shao didn't believe it.

"Your Majesty!"

Zhang He smiled wryly: "Don't forget, whether it's the Yan army or the Wei army, they all regard our Hebei as the biggest enemy. If the Ming Kingdom didn't break out suddenly, I'm afraid they would have joined forces to besiege and kill our Zhou Kingdom!"
