Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1447 Defeated Thousands of Miles Eleven
Luoshui to the north, south bank of the Yellow River.

Yanshi City.

The main force of the Wei army is setting up camp.

Xia Houyuan sent troops to break through Mengjinkou. After discovering the Ming army's air camp, he wanted to stay there to watch the show, but Yuan Shao was aggressive and sent envoys, threatening them to attack the Ming army.

Facing the coercion of the Zhou army's main force, the Wei army was the weakest, and it was out of Hulao Pass at this time, so Yuan Shao was not willing to offend.

Moreover, fighting the Ming army was a strategic deployment of the Central Plains court, and it was Cao Cao's will, so it was not a big deal to send troops to assist.

He complied.

So he led more than [-] troops, left Mengjinkou, and went straight north, intending to enter the encirclement circle of the Beiman battlefield from the north.

But when they went to Yanshi City, they found that the entire battlefield was beyond recognition.

"what?"

When the scorching sun was shining brightly at noon, Xia Houyuan suddenly heard the news that the scouts had inquired and came back. He couldn't believe it, and asked repeatedly: "Did you inquire clearly?"

"Report to the general, our scouts inquired and verified it three times, and there is absolutely no mistake!"

The scout captain is a member of the Xiahou family, Xia Houming, and he said to Xiahouyuan deeply: "The main force of the Zhou army was indeed defeated, and the defeat was tragic. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were scattered by the Ming army, and Yuan Benchu ​​led the main remnants of the army and fled all the way to the east. They had already crossed Mengjinkou. In order to avoid suspicion, they did not take the road north of Yanshi City, but took the mountain road on the east side of Rao. Realm!"

"Behind the Zhou army, the main force of the Ming army clung to it, annihilating countless main forces of the Zhou army along the way, and now the Zhou army has fewer and fewer soldiers and horses!"

The scouts reported all the situation carefully: "Based on the traces our scouts found, it should take less than two hours for them to leave Mengjinkou!"

"How could this be?"

Xia Houyuan sat down paralyzed, a little confused.

Obviously it was the Zhou army who was besieging and killing the Ming army.

But it only passed overnight, and the Ming army miraculously completed the counter-kill, and even chased and killed the remnants of the Zhou army all the way.

Such a contrast is really unacceptable.

The most important thing is that the big question he is facing now is whether to help Yuan Shao resist the Ming army's pursuit, or to make things worse and step on him severely.

This choice is not easy at all.

The results are also completely different.

In fact, for the sake of the common enemy, they should help the Zhou army. After all, the Wei army and the Ming army are already sworn enemies. Now Wei Wang Cao Cao is on the front line of Nanyang, leading all the main forces of the Central Plains to storm Nanyang.

Moreover, Cao Cao took the lead in this battle.

But from a profit point of view.

They have only two choices, one is not to participate in this battle, just watch the show, which is not impossible, but it will miss a lot of things.

There is another way, it is much better to hit the dog in the water when you are down, than to be bitten by the Ming army.

And there is no psychological burden at all.

Wei Jun fought Hebei to the death and life last year. He was an enemy in the first place. If it wasn’t for the miracles in the Ming Dynasty, which caused Mu Jing’s prestige to explode, there is a vague possibility that he will replace him and become the next overlord who will rule the world and unify the Central Plains. Cao Cao They will not withdraw their troops.

Raiding Hebei is also a strategy.

"General, time waits for no one, you have to prepare early!"

A lieutenant reminded Xia Houyuan.

Xia Houyuan paced back and forth, his temperament was tenacious and stable, but at the same time, he also had some character flaws. He was too stable and cautious, which instead formed a problem of hesitation.

"General, the Ming army's arrogance is too aggressive. If we resist stubbornly, our army may be defeated in less than one round!" A confidant counselor walked up and whispered in Xiahou Dun's ear: "And the Ming army has won a big victory in this battle. We must not continue to stay in Henan, and as for plotting Guanzhong, we have to put it aside for the time being, after all, the main force of the Wei army of more than [-] troops cannot stop the Ming army, and we cannot make fearless sacrifices!"

"You're just telling me that it's not a good time to be an enemy of the Ming army at this moment, right?"

Xia Houyuan understood.

"The Ming army has its own king to deal with it. Our goal is to defend the territory of the Central Plains, or take a peek at the territory of Hebei. When everyone's attention is on the south, if we can obtain the territory of Hebei, it will be a great achievement. items!" The counselor said cautiously: "Before that, it is even more important to weaken the strength of the Hebei army, and Yuan Shao cannot be allowed to return to Hebei with so many main forces, which will cause serious trouble in the future!"

"It's even what you say!"

Xia Houyuan's eyes brightened slightly.

The Central Plains and Hebei will eventually lose one side, and they will fight sooner or later. If Hebei can weaken some of its strength, it will be a good thing for the future Central Plains.

And such a good opportunity to beat the dog in the water, but it is very difficult to meet.

"Come on!"

"exist!"

"Pass my military order, within half an hour, gather the main force and attack with me!"

Xia Houyuan made up his mind.

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

The Zhou army fled, and the Ming army pursued them all the way.

The Battle of Mengjinkou.

It's over.

The vanguard of the Ming army had already crossed the river in pursuit, but most of the main force stayed to rest, recover, and clean up the battlefield.

"Slay Wen Chou and capture Gao Lan?"

Xi Zhicai listened to Zhang Liao's words, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised a sneer: "It is rumored that the generals in Hebei are like clouds, and the general Ju Yi is invincible. The four court pillars in Hebei are the iron pillars supporting the Hebei army, one is Yan Liang, the second is Wen Chou, the third is Zhang Yun, and the fourth is Gao Lan!"

"Four courtyard pillars, more than half of their wings have been broken!"

He sighed a little.

After this battle, Hebei must have been seriously injured.

"Wen Chou is a ferocious beast. With [-] troops, he blocked us for two hours, so we can only watch Yuan Benchu's main force cross Mengjinkou!"

Zhang Liao was still a little bit aggrieved: "However, Pang De and Min Wu jointly beheaded this beast. If the two generals hadn't joined forces, there would be no way for this beast to happen!"

"As for Gao Lan!"

"He simply couldn't run fast. We forcibly defeated Wen Chou's soldiers and horses. The Zhou army had already crossed half of the river. There were only [-] soldiers and horses left, and they were surrounded by us."

"The main force of the Zhou army on the opposite side of the river bank, as soon as they saw our main force coming up, they immediately destroyed the boats crossing the river, and fled in a hurry. Twenty thousand sons were like abandoned children, and the main general was Gao Lan!"

Zhang Liao narrowed his eyes: "I think this person is a general, but I'm afraid he won't submit to our Ming country so easily!"

"It's okay!"

Xi Zhicai said indifferently: "Talents are a bit arrogant. What is our king's best at? Get rid of their arrogance, and then slowly collect them step by step. How did Pang De Jieao, Ma Chao is so powerful, isn't he also a general of our Ming Dynasty now!"

In this regard, he believed in Mujing. The most powerful thing about Mujing was his ability to surrender. The talents who fell into his hands basically couldn't escape.

From the beginning, I, and Hu Zhao, who used to be at ease on Luhun Mountain, were not all tricked into boarding the boat by Mu Jing's tongue.

"Are Lei Hu and Pang Xi still biting Zhou Jun?"

Xi Zhicai walked over and looked at the marching map. This is a temporary camp, but there is no time to build a battle sand table, so he can only look at the marching map to understand the terrain.

"Ok!"

Zhang Liao said: "We can only gather enough boats for their two battalions to cross the river, so let them bite first, and the main force can all cross Luoshui tomorrow morning at the latest!"

"Lei Hu and Pang Xi are both generals. They can handle it, but I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?"

"It's impossible for us to be accurate on the battlefield. Zhou Jun is a bereaved dog, so there is no need to worry about them, but they are not the only ones on the battlefield!" Xi Zhicai was a little worried.

"Are you afraid that the Wei army will bite you?" Zhang Liao stared. He was a little flustered, and he forgot the main force of the Wei army. Although there were only [-] to [-] soldiers, the Ming army had already fought hard for a long time. The army is naturally fine, but it is not so good for Wei Jun who is waiting for work.

"afraid!"

Xi Zhicai said: "On the battlefield, everyone is our enemy, as well as the Yan army in Youzhou in the east. Just now, according to the news from Jingwu Division, the Yan army has soldiers and horses crossing the Yellow River from the Mang Mountain Pass, heading for Shangdang, Hanoi. march!"

"The battlefield is moving horizontally from west to east. They should have stood still, but at this moment they raced to join them, either for us or..." Zhang Liao's eyes flickered.

"There is a possibility that they will fall into trouble!" Xi Zhicai also thought about this level: "And it is very big, but we can't place our hope on their reason. After all, our Ming Dynasty is already the public enemy of the princes. This battle is against the princes of the whole world, who knows if they are so hot-headed, they will be desperate to destroy us!"

"I always think that the opportunity to beat the dog in the water is better than going head-to-head with our Ming army. If it were me, I would attack the Zhou army. They say it is an alliance, but when did the Kanto alliance work together? When they attacked the Mu clan , crusade Dong thief, until now the group has attacked our Ming country, and there has never been a single concerted effort!"

Zhang Liao said with a sneer.

"Having said that, we still have to prepare for the worst. After all, we can win, but we can't afford to lose!" Xi Zhi thought for a while, but he still couldn't take too many risks. I'm sorry, in this fight with Zhou Jun, I really killed a thousand enemies and lost eight hundred. Three main forces, five battalions, and lost soldiers and horses are close to five figures.

Although the momentum of the Ming army is very sufficient now.

But in fact, it is like a paper tiger, and it will be broken with a poke. After all, human beings are not steel, and they cannot be stretched all the time, and they will get tired and panic.

At this time, the physical strength of the Ming army was the biggest shortcoming.

"Then you mean..."

Zhang Liao was a little unwilling. If he gave up the pursuit at this time and allowed Zhou Jun to breathe a sigh of relief, then he would face a continuous battle, fighting until the last soldier. Anyone without a winner is a loser, so we must take advantage of this opportunity, even if the boys are exhausted, even if the soldiers have been fighting for a day and a night, we must still seize the opportunity and drive the Zhou army out completely.

"Chasing, we still have to chase. The opportunity cannot be missed. If Zhou Jun is relieved, they may not dare to kill a carbine, but they can be nailed down in Hanoi. At that time, we will still defend day and night, and guard against them that day." Go crazy!"

Xi Zhicai thought for a while: "However, we need to slow down a bit. While chasing and attacking, we must pay attention to defense. All scouts must be released. No matter what state we are in, we must guard against surprise attacks on us!"

Only by making the most preparations can they be safe, otherwise they will fail to pursue and be attacked instead, then they will be really sad.

The Ming army would not do the business of beating life and death to make wedding dresses for others.

"Row!"

Zhang Liao nodded, and he began to arrange the time for each battalion to cross the river, and then crossed the river. Those who had never crossed the river had to rest alternately to recover their physical strength as soon as possible.

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

In the evening, the rays of the setting sun poured over the Luoshui River, creating golden ripples.

"There is another news coming back!"

The scouts galloped wildly and landed in front of the main camp of the Chinese army.

"Say!"

"In the afternoon, the Wei army came out of Yanshi, raided the main force of the Zhou army, defeated the two battalions of the Zhou army, and left!"

"Although I was prepared in my heart, I still underestimated the reactions of these people. You guessed it right. No one will give up the opportunity to beat a dog in the water!" Xi Zhicai was a little funny: "The wind has turned really well!" Fast enough!"

"Leader General of the Wei Army, Xia Houyuan!"

Zhang Liao thought for a while, and said, "I thought he would sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, but I didn't expect him to be so decisive. He sent troops directly, and caught the Zhou army by surprise!"

"He doesn't have enough troops. To be able to fight this far is already a ruthless attack, but the damage to Zhou's army should not be too great. Zhou's army still has the main force to cross the Yellow River north!"

"Forgotten, the Yan army has already crossed the north!"

Zhang Liao narrowed his eyes.

"Will Zhang Yide meet him, or..."

"They're all enemies!" Zhang Liao sneered, "I believe that the ones who stabbed him more than responded to him. Youzhou and Hebei are also mortal enemies!"

"Don't tell me, I don't know, this Yuan Benchu's popularity is too bad!"

Xi Zhicai couldn't help laughing.

"In this troubled world, everyone has the same popularity. If our king is released, he will be beaten and killed!" Zhang Liao curled his lips: "If the king is defeated, it will definitely be worse than Yuan Benchu!"

"Hey, as a great general of the Ming Dynasty and a deputy envoy of the Privy Council, it's disrespectful to arrange the king like this!" Xi Zhicai laughed playfully.

"Anyway, he doesn't know!" Zhang Liao laughed.

"I do not know!"

Xi Zhicai gloated and said, "I have a little hope to see that our great king also has the appearance of hiding in Tibet and being despised by others!"

"Hahaha!!!"

The two unscrupulous men laughed cheerfully in the camp.

And in the distant Nanzhou Wancheng.

"Aqiu!"

Mujing couldn't help feeling a little bit of chill, shivered, and then sneezed, he couldn't help but touch his nose: "It's already summer, why are you still a little cold!"

"Your Majesty!"

Jin Jiu, the captain of the Shenwei Battalion, presented him with a cloak.

"Is there no news from Luo Yang?" Mu Jing asked.

"no!"

Jin Jiu shook his head.

"If this goes on like this, I can't hold it off any longer!" Mu Jing wanted to wait for news from Luo Yang to decide how to fight this battle, but the outside of the city has been constantly pressing in, and I'm afraid it won't last long, Cao Cao It's time to attack.
