Chapter 1448 Defeated Thousands of Miles Away Twelve
Unbeknownst to Zhang Liao and the others, the battle in Nanyang had been suspended for a while due to a change in Luoyang's side.

And Wei Jun, although he knew that the Ming army was delaying time, he also obeyed the Ming army, stopped for a while, and slowed down the rhythm of the attack.

On the one hand, Wei Jun was beaten a little suddenly before. In terms of strategic deployment, he failed to follow his own deployment, but was disrupted by the Ming Army.

So it takes time to breathe a sigh of relief and redeploy the battle formation.

On the other hand, at this time, Cao Cao may also hope that Yuan Shao can defeat the main force of the Ming army in Luoyang.

In this way, the pressure on the Ming army will inevitably increase.

As long as Luoyang is defeated and the news spreads back to Nanyang, the Ming army in Nanyang will definitely be in turmoil. After all, the main force of the Ming army is distributed in two major battlefields.

So the Nanyang battlefield has entered a period of strange calm.

Whether it is Mu Jing or Cao Cao, they are dispatching spies every day to inquire about the news of the Luoyang battle and grasp the first-hand news.

However, neither Mujing nor Cao Cao could have imagined that Luoyang's battlefield would become so fast and fierce, and the positions of the offensive and defensive sides would change so completely.

………………

"Xiahouyuan!" At night, under the darkness of night, a temporary main tent was set up, and Yuan Shao was a little mad with anger. He hated this name like a sea.

They fought the Ming army, beating life and death, and they could bear the result.

But one moment he was in the same formation, and the next moment he was attacked by surprise. This defense was aggrieved, and it was precisely this that made him angry.

According to the covenant and formation, Wei Jun can be regarded as an ally. This is a betrayal, a kind of betrayal in an aboveboard manner.

How to make him not angry.

"Your Majesty calm down!"

There was a scratched arrow mark on Zhang He's forehead, wrapped in a cloth towel, and the bright blood stains on the corner could be seen, he was very stable at this moment, cupped his hands and said: "Now is the time when we can settle accounts with them, the only way to do it first Withdraw, we can make a comeback, Your Majesty must not disappoint General Wen Chou's heart!"

"I don't know!"

Yuan Shao was a little furious, but he calmed down a lot when he heard the name Wen Chou.

If it weren't for Wen Chou's decision, they might not have been able to fight out of Mengjinkou at all, and they were even surrounded by the Ming army at Mengjinkou.

It was Wen Chou who sacrificed himself to replace them. All the generals here must remember Wen Chou's kindness.

"Can you cross the river to the north smoothly tonight?"

Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and forced himself to calm down. He was going to cross the Yellow River. Only after crossing the Yellow River could he enter Hanoi. After entering Hanoi, perhaps the environment would be much better.

Otherwise, his 10,000+ main force might all be buried on this side of the river.

"should be no problem!"

Zhang He said in a low voice: "General Yan Xing has led troops to occupy the Fengyu Ferry, and I have also dispatched my troops to requisition all the fishing boats upstream and downstream, including ordinary bamboo and wooden rafts. , We can also use manpower to build a pontoon bridge, the soldiers are fixed in the water, so that the soldiers can cross the river quickly, let us cross the river overnight as much as possible!"

This side of the river is too dangerous.

Only by successfully crossing the river can one get out of danger, and crossing the river has become the top priority.

"You arrange it immediately!"

"Yes!"

"In addition, tell Ju Yi that if you pull the front line ten miles away, I don't care how he goes, hold the formation, and keep the main force of our army crossing the river smoothly, otherwise it's just another matter!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Ying has already heard that Yuan Shao's tone towards Ju Yi is getting worse and worse, especially now that he feels angry in his heart, and I am afraid that if he sees Ju Yi, he will spread his anger on Ju Yi.

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

The vanguard of the Ming army has approached the main force of the Zhou army.

The vanguard battalion is Zhanhu and Black Armored Cavalry.

In fact, the soldiers and horses of the two battalions suffered a lot of damage during the battle in Huangtuyuan, but they preserved more than [-]% of the main combat force. At this moment, they are even more advantageous.

"It looks like they'll be crossing the river tonight?"

Lei Hu and Pang Xi went to investigate the enemy's situation in person. They lay on the hillside and looked ahead. Although it was hazy, they couldn't see very clearly. Even with binoculars, they couldn't see much in the dark environment. Things, but what can be seen is that troops are frequently transported north.

"Go up here, it's a wind and rain crossing!"

Pang Xidao: "If they want to cross the north through Fengyudu, it's reasonable. If they go directly to Hanoi, they will be able to breathe a sigh of relief after entering Hanoi, so they probably won't stay. Crossing the river tonight is very likely. !"

"Report to General Zhang Liao immediately!"

Lei Hu said.

"I've sent my soldiers back to report, it's us, can we stop them!" Pang Xi said whimsically.

"Our military strength is only a few thousand. They are skinny camels that are bigger than horses, and there are 10,000+ soldiers and horses. Doesn't it mean courting death?" Lei Hu frowned.

"Mainly harassment!"

Pang Xi said softly: "Stop the time for them to cross the river, delay as much as possible, wait until our main force arrives, we can kill another wave!"

I didn't plan to keep them all here, and I didn't have such strength.

If you really fight against the beast, the Ming army will pay a heavy price.

They are more hopeful that they can chase and kill all the way and damage the main force of the Zhou army as much as possible.

"Ok!"

Lei Hu is also a bold person. After thinking about it, he agreed: "It's not impossible, it's just that it's very risky. If one is not careful, our entire army may be wiped out!"

"Captain Lei, don't you want to upgrade the Tiger Camp?" Pang Xi asked suddenly.

"Of course I do!"

A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. As a lieutenant directly under the combat battalion, Lei Hu is only one step away from the position of General Zhonglang, but this step can kill him.

If he can directly upgrade Zhanhuying to become Zhanhujun, then he will be a direct Zhonglang general.

But this requires not only opportunity, but also ability, or record, which can withstand the record of the entire Ming people. If there is not enough record, even if Mujing is partial to the talk, there is no way to upgrade Zhanhuying.

"I want, too!"

Pang Xi smiled slightly, and said: "We fight on the battlefield, nothing more than wanting to make achievements. With the three-foot green peak in our hands, we can be named princes and prime ministers. When we go to the battlefield, life and death are unpredictable. If we dare not fight, how can we have so-called achievements?" ah!"

"Then fight!"

Thunder Tiger's aggressiveness was aroused.

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

At this time, the main force of the Ming army had already begun to march northward.

I wanted to take a rest.

But once Zhou Jun crossed the Yellow River north, it was tantamount to asking the Ming army to pursue him, which made all the generals of the Ming army somewhat uncomfortable.

At this time, they still want to fight a fierce battle.

Without defeating the main force of the Zhou army, the Ming army's victory was a bit watery. As the saying goes, it is better to break one finger than to hurt its ten fingers. Repelling and defeating are different concepts.

"Wei Jun has to be on guard. Even if they sneak attack Zhou Jun, they may not be friends. If there is a chance, they are more willing to sneak attack us. So from now on, send me scouts to keep a close eye on Yanshi. If there is any trouble, immediately report!"

Zhang Liao also became cautious at this time. He didn't dare to take any chances. After all, in this chaotic battlefield, it is possible for anyone to fight anyone.

"promise!"

The scouts quickly followed the elite Wei Jun to Yanshi.

While they were marching, in a carriage while walking, Zhang Liao and Xi Zhicai discussed the next offensive formation under the lights.

"They crossed the river overnight, they must be sure!"

Zhang Liao narrowed his eyes: "Maybe he will guard against us!"

"Defense must be defensive, but it doesn't have to be very hard!" Xi Zhicai pondered for a while, and said: "If we attack from this direction, we still have a chance. We don't want to wipe them out, but leave them with [-] to [-] troops. , there is still some hope!"

Although the Zhou army was defeated, the main force is still there, and they still have combat effectiveness.

To annihilate them completely, let alone whether it can be done, if Napo encircles them, it can be done, and the price paid in the end is also very terrible.

Now they seem to be harvesting leeks, eating all the Zhou army's broken ones, and eating one by one, so as to damage the main force of the Zhou army.

"I think the direction of this attack can be done, but it must be accelerated. There may not be much time left for us now!"

Zhang Liao said: "I think the whole army should march faster!"

"We fought hard last night and today, and marched at night again. The physical load on the soldiers is too great. There are already soldiers who have fallen behind and can't keep up. We are speeding up, and I am afraid that more lag behind!"

"The arrow is on the string, I have to fire!" Zhang Liao said, "I don't want to either, but once the time is missed, there may not be such a good opportunity!"

Crossing the river will inevitably restrain all the energy of the Zhou army. This is the best time for a sneak attack. If it goes well, it may be possible to defeat the last morale of the Zhou army without a lot of troops and battles.

"But once our soldiers are exhausted while on the road, even if we kill them, our combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, which will not be conducive to our combat!" Xi Zhicai still thinks that we should be more prudent, as the saying goes, don't chase after the poor, Although they chased him, they couldn't be too blatant.

"But the opportunity is fleeting!"

Zhang Liao firmly believed in his own thoughts: "This may be our last battle in Luoyang. If we completely defeat the main force of the Zhou army in this battle, then Luoyang can be determined. If you can rest, you can also hold on!"

The rest was a rest. When they were at Mengjinkou, they took a short rest alternately. Compared with more soldiers, at this moment, they were tired and fell asleep.

But they have a tenacious fighting spirit, Zhang Liao is confident because he has seen the fighting spirit of the soldiers, and believes that the soldiers of the Ming army can break through the limit of physical strength.

"Then hit first!"

Xi Zhicai gritted his teeth, he was not reconciled to let Zhou Jun cross Hebei in this way, return to Hanoi, withdraw from Henan Guanzhong, and be able to return to Jizhou smoothly.

"Report!"

"Say!"

"The Pioneer Battalion is launching a sneak attack on the main force of the Zhou army, and I ask the general to quickly enter the battlefield for reinforcements!"

"what?"

Zhang Liao and Xi Zhicai looked at each other upon hearing this.

"Pang Xi and Lei Hu, don't they think their lives are too long? They only have so many soldiers. Even if Zhou's army is defeated, there are still a lot of main forces!"

Zhang Liao gritted his teeth and said in a low voice.

"They should want to delay!"

Xi Zhicai thought for a while: "Pang Xi is a steady general, and Lei Hu's combat consciousness reacts quickly. If they join forces, even if they can't escape, they may not be caught by them. In this way, there is hope. , and left more of the main force of the Zhou army!"

"Pass my military order, speed up the march!"

Zhang Liao couldn't sit still: "Participate in politics, Zhaoming's first army and second army, you personally command, catch up as soon as possible, I will lead the attack of the third army first!"

Xiliang soldiers can be regarded as wild, but they are not as arrogant as Qiang soldiers. The soldiers of these Qiang tribes are really crazy when they fight, even if they are injured, they fight like tigers and wolves.

At this time, I believe that it is not the second army with the highest combat effectiveness that can withstand physical strength, but the third army.

"it is good!"

Xi Zhicai stopped procrastinating, he nodded, and said: "Lead your troops to reinforce first, and I will lead the main force to rush there as soon as possible. Once this battle is fought, then fight hard, not only to drive them out Henan, I want to keep their main force in Hebei!"

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

The night was cool, the Yellow River was rushing, the river was tumbling, and the boats on the river began to tremble uncontrollably.

"quick!"

"Cross the river quickly!"

"Boost!"

"Don't take your time, if you want to survive, go quickly!"

General Zhou Jun held a torch in his hand, illuminating the surface of the river, and was organizing groups of soldiers to cross the Yellow River and preserve the main force toward the north bank of the Yellow River.

"Boys, rush for me, and go through it fiercely!"

The Ming army raided.

The main force of the two battalions of the vanguard army, one cavalry and one pawn, cooperated with each other, approached from the gap on the left wing, and rushed in directly.

"Array!"

"Stop!"

Zhou Jun reacted quickly. Although he stopped him, it still caused a little panic.

"The Ming army is coming!"

"They came so fast, did we lose!"

The morale of the soldiers is in a stage of shaking, and it is shaking even more at this time.

"Order Ju Yi, kill them all!" Yuan Shao yelled angrily, the Ming army was really haunted, even crossing the river would not let him feel comfortable, he had to race against time: "The rest of the ministries, cross the river with all their strength!"

The main force of the Zhou army crossed the river very quickly.

The main force of the two battalions of the vanguard of the Ming army came out with all kinds of tricks, attacking from all directions, but in the end they were directly blocked by Ju Yi, and they couldn't rush over, and couldn't stop Zhou Jun from crossing the river.

But at this time, Zhang Liao led the third army to attack: "Boys, charge, we will never allow them to cross the river, kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

Encouraged by Zhang Liao and personally led by Min Wu, the third army directly attacked.

"Get out!"

Yuan Shao felt a bad breath, and seeing the Ming army entering the battlefield, he couldn't bear it anymore. At this moment, he had to cross the river.

"withdraw!"

"withdraw!"

The soldiers of the Zhou army rushed to cross the river, which caused riots instead.

Afterwards, the first and second armies, the main force of the Ming army, came up again. The Zhou army fought hard to resist. Yuan Shao crossed the river smoothly under the guard of the euphorbia warriors. Wan Erlang, one of Ju Yi's relatives, was killed by the Ming army. Blood flowed like a river, and he had to cross the Yellow River under the protection of hundreds of surviving Xiandeng dead soldiers.

In this battle, the Zhou army once again lost more than [-] main forces at the cost of crossing the Yellow River smoothly.

Although the Zhou army who crossed the river escaped from the attack of the Ming army, the main force of nearly 20 soldiers now has less than [-] remnants.
