Chapter 1450 Ming Wei Decisive Battle [-]
The news of the Luoyang battle has not yet been handed down, but on the Nanzhou battlefield, preparations for the final decisive battle have already begun inside and outside Wancheng.

It wasn't Wancheng who broke out first.

It is to the north of Wancheng.

Western Hubei.

The First Violent Bear Army of the Ming Army was stationed in West Hubei, but when the main force of the Wei Army went south, the Violent Bear First Army made a surprise attack and forcibly killed one. They are all helpless.

However, it's different with reinforcements.

The reinforcements are naturally the Jingping First Army.

The guard is in Wuguan.

Ever since he had the determination to win or lose in a single battle, he no longer cared about Guanzhong. Even if Guanzhong lost, it would take time for the main force of the coalition forces to go south, and he had to hurry up and fight to the death.

So he ordered the Jingping First Army to go south.

And going south is a quick march, and the first Violent Bear Army must be liberated before Wei Jun reacts, so that there will be enough troops for a decisive battle.

And it was the Bingzhou Army who was staring at the first Violent Bear Army.

The main force of the Bingzhou army is the Bingzhou flying cavalry, trapped in the camp, and Xiliang soldiers, adding up to tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, the combat effectiveness is not simple.

Even if Lu Bu is now on the front line of the vanguard army, it will not affect the combat effectiveness of the Bingzhou army. There are still many generals under Lu Bu's command.

Among them, Gao Shun was the main general.

There are also Cao Xing and other generals under his command to help.

However, this battle did not start directly from Xi'e, but from Wuguan.

The Jingping First Army of the Ming Army, after leaving Wuguan, did not immediately go south from Nanzhou, but attacked from the Yingchuan defense line and attacked Cao Hong's troops.

Cao Hong was responsible for keeping an eye on Wuguan, but he did not expect that the Ming army would voluntarily give up and raid his barracks.

It was a straight hit.

Cao Hong suffered heavy casualties. At the critical moment, he had to lead his remnant soldiers to forcibly break out of the siege, and went south from Yingchuan to Nanyang to find the main force for reinforcements.

After the Ming army raided this battle, they did not linger, and immediately went down south, seemingly chasing Cao Hong's main force, but in fact they wanted to find an opportunity to raid the Bingzhou army outside Xi'e City.

The general in control of the situation, Chen Dao, was the most careful. He didn't let Cao Hong see his thoughts at all, and entered Xi'e all the way, so Cao Hong became vigilant.

But it was too late.

Chen Dao formed a pincer attack situation inside and outside through the Jingwu Division and the united Zhou Cang, directly wrapping the Bingzhou Army into a happy reunion.

This battle broke out very suddenly. Although the Bingzhou army was strong and quick to react, it was still chaotic under the ferocious culling of the Ming army.

In the end, the trapped camp forcibly tore through a line of defense before breaking out, along the east side, and entered Bowang City to stop this wave of attacks.

Since then, the situation in the north of Wancheng has suddenly reversed. The main force of the Ming army has been Jingping First Army plus the Violent Bear First Army.

And there is still power to threaten Wei Jun's grain road.

On the one hand, the Wei army's food road entered the battlefield from Runan through Wuyin in the east, but it mainly went north and went south along Bowang for supply.

Once Bowang was attacked.

Then there will inevitably be huge problems in Wei Jun's food and road.

After the Battle of West Hubei, in less than four hours, the news reached Cao Cao on the battlefield as quickly as possible.

"Wuguan, Xi'e?"

Cao Cao still has the upper hand on the main battlefield. Now the Ming army has suddenly slowed down, but he is still pressing every step of the way. Of course, he is also very careful. Before the Ming army used retreat as an ambush, they retreated first, and then fought back. , indeed killed him a very sudden.

So now he seems to be more careful, no matter whether it is the main force advancing or the encirclement of partial forces, he will deploy troops to respond, and will not give the Ming army any chance to make a surprise attack.

But it was only on the main battlefield that the situation was stabilized, and the combat initiative of the two sides was reversed. Suddenly something went wrong in the north, but it hit him more than seven inches away, which made him a little uneasy.

"My lord, this is probably a long-planned action by the Ming army, and we are careless!"

Guo Jia bowed his hands and saluted, and then said to Cao Cao in a low voice: "We always thought that he would not give up Wuguan, but at this time, he gave up Wuguan. It is really unexpected!"

Wuguan, as a pass between Guanzhong and Nanyang, is also the point where the two battlefields are located. Unless there is new news from Guanzhong, otherwise, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the Ming army to abandon Wuguan.

But Luoyang's battlefield, they have been watching, although it has been revealed that the main force of the Hebei army has gone south to attack Luoyang, and the Luoyang Ming army has taken the initiative to counterattack, which has already kicked off the news of the war.

But at a moment's notice, it is impossible for good news to go south.

It was Mujing who was sure that Yuan Benchu ​​would not get past Luoyang's defense in this battle, or it was because of his whim and other considerations, Guo Jia thought a lot, but it was difficult for him to make a decision.

But there is one thing, it is already a fact that the Ming army abandoned Wuguan, which made Guo Jia feel a little abnormal: "My lord, the Ming army suddenly abandoned Wuguan and gathered troops on the Wancheng battlefield. He doesn't want to drag it on any longer and fight it into a war of attrition, he wants to end it quickly!"

"A quick fix?"

Cao Cao sneered: "Mulongtu is confident, he has the ability to defeat Gu?"

In terms of the current situation, the Ming Dynasty is already enemies on all sides. It is not the position of the Han Dynasty. However, being surrounded by the princes of the Han Dynasty will inevitably cause turmoil and worry. As long as there is even the slightest turmoil, it will cause turmoil in the army and damage to the fighting spirit. .

In terms of military strength, the Wei army was almost overwhelming, with more than [-] main forces, and the soldiers were fierce. No matter how strong the Ming army was, it would be difficult to resist his attack.

As for the geographical advantage, the Ming army originally defended Wancheng firmly, so they still have some geographical advantages, which can delay the battle. Now they go out of the city to fight after the battle, and the geographical advantage will also be lost.

So now the whole advantage lies with Wei Jun.

Why did the Ming army have the confidence to win?

"Your Majesty, King Ming is a very treacherous person!" Guo Jia's use of the word treacherous on Mujing is not too much. Everyone in the world will feel this way. , It is indeed very treacherous, and the more treacherous the person, the more people have to be on guard: "There is always a saying in the world, there is only King Ming who we can't think of, and there is nothing that King Ming can't do. King Ming suddenly changed his strategy. I think he might be able to defeat us with confidence, and until we can't find out the reason for his confidence, I think we should be careful, at least not to rush forward!"

"Many people may think like you, maybe this is the purpose of Mu Jing singing such a play!" Cao Cao's eyes flickered, and he responded to Guo Jia's words with a deep retort.

"Your Majesty is talking about an empty city plan?"

Guo Jia's eyes flashed.

It's not that there is no possibility, Mu Jing is just telling them an empty city strategy, so they give the Ming army more time to prepare new strategic deployments because of fear.

"True or false, Mu Longtu originally wanted to disturb our thoughts!" The person who knows a person best is his enemy. Cao Cao and Mu Jing have fought and taught many times, and later studied it countless times According to the information, about Mu Jing, it is more or less his own independent impression, he thought for a while, and said: "Gu thinks that now we don't need to guess his mind, but to stabilize our own deployment!"

He turned around, looked at the marching map hanging on the screen, pondered for a long time, and then said: "No matter what the Ming army thinks, it is true that there is a crisis in the grain road to the north, so we must solve this problem first!"

The three armies went ahead without using food and grass.

Wei Jun's grain and grass are not in Nanyang, but in Yuzhou in the north, which is safer, but it is more troublesome to transport grain, and grain roads are more important.

The most important part of Wei Jun's grain road is Bowang.

Now there is a crisis in Bowang, which means that there is a slight gap in Wei Jun's grain road. Once the Ming army makes a big fuss in this regard, this time it will cause Wei Jun's army to be unstable.

"Send Lu Bu back, and the Bingzhou army can only display its maximum combat effectiveness under the leadership of Lu Bu himself!" Guo Jia said after thinking about it.

"This is a good idea, but the vanguard army needs Lu Bu now!"

Cao Cao shook his head: "It's not Lu Bu's responsibility to be the vanguard!"

There are two tiger generals beside him.

Whether it is Dian Wei or Xu Chu, they are all equal peerless generals, and it is easy to charge into battle.

But Cao Cao is a person who is afraid of death.

Especially on the battlefield.

So unless it was a critical moment of life and death, the two generals around him would stay by his side to protect him.

"And the main force on the battlefield is unwilling to move. Once it moves, no matter what happens, it will cause restlessness. It is equivalent to telling the whole army that our army's rear is unstable, and it will definitely affect the fighting spirit of the soldiers!"

Cao Cao raised his head, looked at the sunlight outside the window, and said coldly, "It's better for Cao Hong and Gao Shun to keep Bowang safe!"

"It may not be possible!"

Guo Jia is not very confident: "But if you don't know the main force on the battlefield, you can find a way to dispatch some soldiers and horses from Yuzhou and Runan to protect the food road!"

"Yuzhou?"

Cao Cao frowned: "It seems that there are not many soldiers in Yuzhou!"

"That's because our soldiers and horses are gone, but there are still a lot of government soldiers from the aristocratic families. As long as they can be recruited smoothly and protect the food road, it will not be a big problem!"

"But these aristocratic families have suffered from me just now, so they may not be willing to help me!"

"It's not to help the king, but to help the court!" Guo Jia said: "The king's battle is not for himself, but for the court of the Han family. Under such righteousness, if they dare to push back and obstruct four, wouldn't it be disloyal and unfilial!"

Scholars arrange crimes, it is almost sticky.

"Do you have a way?"

Cao Cao was overjoyed, and quickly looked at Guo Jia. Guo Jia had always been his right-hand man, a think tank, a military adviser, a counselor, and the person he trusted the most.

He trusted Guo Jia more than Xun Yu.

Although Xun Yu has the talent of Wang Zuozhi, but his heart is not pure, he has been acting as a microphone between the Han Dynasty and himself, intending to form his own formation, but his heart stays in the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, for Cao Cao, Xun Yu is useful, but not as good as Guo Jia. As a military adviser, Guo Jia's advice is centered on Cao Cao, which is why Cao Cao has always valued him unconditionally.

"There is no way, but there is a bad idea!" Guo Jia smiled wryly.

"Say!"

"Requisition these government soldiers by the order of the emperor!" Guo Jia said softly.

"The Son of Heaven?"

Cao Cao's reaction was not slow, his eyes became brighter and brighter: "This idea is not bad. Food is very important. They can get rid of Gu's face. It's not easy for Gu to make trouble by then, but if they dare to shirk the emperor's Names, Gu will be able to steal their families and exterminate them!"

In everything, the teacher is famous.

That's why they used this bad idea to conscript these ambush soldiers to stick to the food road and stabilize the supply of food and grass for the main force of the Wei army.

"Just do it!"

Cao Cao is definitely a vigorous and resolute person. When he decides to make a decision, he immediately gives an order.

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

On the walls of Wancheng, there have been no battles these days, and it seems a bit deserted, but the traces left by the previous battles are still clear, and people can see and feel the cruelty and bloodiness.

Mu Jing would walk up the city wall every day, look outside the city, and feel the stalemate of soldiers.

The Ming army took half a step back, and the Wei army advanced half a step, but they didn't dare to be too presumptuous, instead they suppressed the mood of taking the initiative to attack.

That's why there is such a stalemate and temporary stability.

"Is there any movement for Wei Jun today?"

Mu Jing walked on the city wall, looking at the main camp of the Wei army in the distance.

"No movement!"

Zhang Ren replied to Mu Jing, his voice was very soft, and his injury had improved a lot. He said in a low voice, "But their soldiers and horses are frequently turned around. I believe this kind of calm can't last long!"

"Peace is meant to be broken!"

Mu Jing smiled coldly, wantonly and wildly: "Lonely is hope, he Cao Mengde will break this calm, so lonely don't need to be so entangled!"

His so-called entanglement is entanglement with the news from Guanzhong.

There was no news from Guanzhong for a day.

His heart is suspended all day long.

It's not that I don't want to fight, but I don't want to fight for the time being. I'd rather be stable for a while, wait for the news from Guanzhong, and decide whether to let go of all hands and feet to fight this fight.

Since the arrival of twenty red cannons, he has become more and more confident, because the gap between these weapons is an entire era.

Of course, this also reveals some of Mujing's character flaws, which can be found in everyone, and it's easy to get carried away if you are too confident.

"Your Majesty, the fighting power of the Wei army should not be underestimated!"

Zhang Ren reminded.

"I don't know!"

Mu Jing calmed down, he knew what Zhang Ren meant, but Zhang Ren didn't know the hole card he was holding in his hand, and he would not reveal this hole card until it exploded.

Jingwu Division is infiltrating the world. Similarly, Yelou's infiltration in the Ming Dynasty is also very serious. If things are not kept secret, they will lose. At this time, we must keep the secrets.

So he would rather be called conceited and arrogant by his subordinates, but also express this confidence and fighting spirit to cover up his hole cards.

"But Gu is not kidding anymore, Gu will win this battle!"

Mujing's self-confidence comes from the gap between the times.

"Of course, I still have to wait for the news from Guanzhong!" Mu Jing raised his head, looked to the northwest, and shook his head to see a mountain, but he seemed to have crossed the sea of ​​mountains and clouds, and saw the battle in Luoyang. Get up: "I hope Xi Zhicai and Zhang Wenyuan don't let Gu down!"
