Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1456 Ming Wei Decisive Battle VII

Jingping's First Army, Jingping's Fourth Army, Violent Bear's First Army, Violent Bear's Second Army, and the soldiers and horses of the four armies successfully joined forces on the edge of a river in the northeast suburb of Wancheng.

"General Chen Zhonglang, General Zhou Zhonglang, it's good to meet you!"

"General Wen Zhong, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

"General Meng Zhonglang!"

The four major generals gathered together, and the two sides respectfully watched a gift from the Ming army, and then sat down to discuss the current progress of the war and the environment.

"No more gossip!" Wenpin spoke first, and said, "On the entire Eastern Front battlefield, we may face a culling of [-] Wei troops. Be careful in the future!"

"General Wen Zhonglang, we just came down from the north, and we don't know much about the current situation. Can you tell us about the situation first?"

The more Chen Dao was in a high position, the more cautious he was. As a subordinate of King Ming Mujing, he was under more pressure than anyone else.

Everyone knows that Mujing thinks highly of him, and what he has to do is to let everyone know that he is worthy of this respect.

The principle he gave himself is that on the battlefield, you can take risks, but you can't be rash.

Before any war, one must be well aware of the situation, otherwise one cannot start a war easily.

"The current situation, generally speaking, the Eastern Front is still under some pressure!"

Wenpin took a deep look at Chen Dao. Ever since he was defeated by Zhuge Liang on the battlefield, he had also lost a lot of arrogance. He dared not underestimate any hospital generals of the Ming army, even if they were young, they should not underestimate them ability.

Chen Dao has been in charge of Jingping's first army for a long time, he can sit in this position, Wenpin doesn't think it is only because of Mujing's support.

He also knows the atmosphere of the Ming army very well. After all, he is in this circle. If he doesn't understand this circle, it will only be his own disadvantage.

Generally speaking, the Ming army is cleaner than other military systems.

First of all, in terms of remuneration, the Ming army is definitely the best in the world. The Ming army itself is an elite line, a full-time soldier. Every soldier who has entered the military status is supported by the Ming country, at least the Ming country Your problems have been solved.

If you don’t have money, you can’t support soldiers. The Ming army is known as the most powerful army in the world, with the strongest combat effectiveness. This premise is that in addition to the hard work of the soldiers, there is also a powerful Ming country supporting them. The Ming country will never deduct half of the military salary.

In addition, that is the military salary of the Ming army, which will not go through the hands of the chief general. The Privy Council will prepare the military salary table in advance, and then report it to Zhaoming Pavilion, which will be approved by Zhaoming Pavilion. Mingfeng Bank, put the money into practice.

There is no step, and the person who leads the soldiers will not be allowed to handle it.

In this way, it will be very difficult for the generals in the army to have nothing to pay, what they want and the blood of the soldiers. Under such an atmosphere, they appear even more innocent.

And such an atmosphere also made the officers leading the generals more focused on making contributions.

Merit is the only shortcut for the generals of the Ming army to be promoted.

Chen Dao can sit in this position, which means that he can win the support of the soldiers on the one hand, and on the other hand, he has enough meritorious deeds to hold the chair under his buttocks.

Wenpin dare not underestimate such a person, even if he is young.

He began to talk about it in detail, and he explained the situation of the troops on the entire eastern front clearly, and he was very focused: "The specific situation is basically like this. I believe that Jing Wusi has already I gave you a piece of information in advance, what news will Chen Zhonglang need to know?"

"We have the information!"

Chen Dao thought about it, and said: "Just looking at the information, it seems too empty. Xiahou Dun, Xu Huang, these generals are the key. You have fought against them a lot, I think you understand it better!"

"Xiahoudun and Xu Huang are both very powerful generals. Although they have lost to us, they have always been stable. They are definitely not easy to deal with!" Wenpin said in a deep voice: "In addition, we need to be careful. It was Cheng Yu. According to sources from Jingwu Division, Cheng Yu did not have much information and was born as a scholar. Now he is a civil servant, but he leads troops. He is a ruthless person!"

"ruthless?"

Chen Dao's eyes flashed: "If you can make the king feel that this person is ruthless, then he is really ruthless. We have to be careful!"

"According to the news, at this time, Xuzhou's main force has already entered the battlefield!"

Wenpin said.

"Then let's meet this ruthless man!"

Chen Dao stood up, full of fighting spirit.

"Report!"

"Say!"

"The scouts discovered that Xuzhou's army was divided into two groups. The main force of the main line headed north to meet Xiahou Dun and Xu Huang's camp. The main force of the main line was heading towards our city gate, and they were heading straight for our east city of Wancheng!"

"Got it, I'm spying!"

"promise!"

After the messenger left, Wenpin's expression became serious.

He said to Chen Daozhou Cang: "They have divided their troops!"

"Are we going to split up too?"

Zhou Cang frowned a little. His Second Violent Bear Army had suffered a serious loss in combat effectiveness, especially in the battle of Xi'e.

"Score!"

Wen Pin said: "But we can't let them lead us by the nose!"

"Since the troops are divided, let's divide them thoroughly!" Chen Dao thought for a while, and said to him, "General Meng Huo Zhonglang, would you like to fight side by side with me!"

Meng Huo smiled: "Soldier Jingping is a family, fighting side by side is what it should be!"

"General Chen Zhonglang, do you have any ideas?"

Wenpin squinted his eyes.

"General Wen Zhong, what is our goal?"

Chen Dao asked back.

"The goal is naturally to fight to the death, but we can't be too hasty. At least we can wipe out more enemy troops first to ensure that we have the upper hand on the battlefield, and then they will be surrounded slowly. If we are not careful, the entire army will be destroyed. Annihilated!"

Wen Pin said: "I don't dare to rush forward easily!"

"Map!" Chen Dao shouted.

"exist!"

A large map of more than three feet was spread out on the left and right, covering the entire Wancheng battlefield, including several surrounding counties.

"Your Majesty ordered us to go south, instead of staying in the north, to block the enemy's food roads. We must have the will to win, and the next decisive battle will be fought if we don't fight!"

Chen Daodao: "Your Majesty asked Jing Wusi to give me an order to order our army to cooperate with you and control the battlefield on the Eastern Front. There is another order, that is to drive the main force of the Wei army into the Tai'an Plain!"

"Tai'an Plain should be the battlefield chosen by the king for a decisive battle with the Wei army!"

"This open area is flooded with fire, so there is not much possibility and use. I can't figure out why the king wants to fight in this place!"

"But the king has never missed it all these years, so I believe in the king!"

Chen Dao expressed a lot in one breath, and it showed his unconditional support for all Mujing's military orders as a direct general, which Wenpin couldn't do.

Wenpin can obey orders, but he has his own ideas more, because he can't figure it out, so he doesn't quite understand Mujing's decision to place the decisive battle on the Tai'an Plain.

So in terms of mobility, it is not very sufficient.

On this point, Chen Dao was much more resolute: "You and I both understand the intention of the Xuzhou army to divide the troops. We can also divide the troops, but this is equivalent to being beaten by them. When the king taught us, I learned a little bit. It is easy to control the winning and losing rhythm, and it is better to suffer a loss than mess up the rhythm first!"

"did you mean?"

Wenpin understood a little bit.

"We still have to divide our troops, but we can't divide them like this. We don't need the Eastern Front, give up all the current positions, and fight on the move!"

Chen Dao said: "Why do we have to come on both sides? I just gave up one side and divided up the troops to encircle and kill the other side. This way, it will be easier for us to control, and then they will have to follow our rhythm!"

"In this way, if we want to introduce their main force to the Tai'an Plain, it will be much easier!"

"General Wen Zhong, are you right?"

Chen Dao's gaze was vivid, staring at Wenpin.

On the Eastern Front, Wenpin had the final say, and he was just an assistant. Chen Dao remembered this very clearly, so he needed Wenpin's consent.

"What if Wancheng is breached?"

Wenpin gritted his teeth and asked.

"General Wen Zhong!" Chen Dao said meaningfully: "Our battle is not about the gain or loss of one city or one place, but the success or failure of the entire Ming Kingdom. Not to mention Wancheng, even Yu has been defeated today. , Our combat strategy cannot be interfered by them, we must win!"

"You are more ruthless than me!"

Wen Pinchang sighed, Chen Dao couldn't see that he was also a ruthless person, and he was right, no one who has been in the battlefield for so many years is soft-hearted.

On the battlefield, victory or defeat is the most important thing. Even if you pay a city and a state, as long as you win, you can lose it.

When Chen Dao heard the words, his face did not change, but his eyes became more scorching, looking at Wenpin, waiting for Wenpin's decision.

"Then fight as you wish!"

Wen Pin said: "But Jing Ping's army will be the main force!"

"no problem!"

Chen Dao laughed out, a shallow smile, revealing a fierce fighting spirit.

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

The current headquarters does not pay too much attention to what the battlefield on the Eastern Front looks like.

Mu Jing, Chen Gong and others focused their attention on the Wanshui front. This front was under pressure too hard. Jingping's Second Army and Third Army, the main forces of the two armies retreated steadily.

"Your Majesty, the last general requests to bring back the main force on the Eastern Front!"

"If this continues, the Wanshui Front may collapse faster than the Eastern Front!"

"We can't wait!"

The headquarters was in full swing, and shouts echoed.

Mu Jing was silent.

Chen Gong still stood beside the sand table, doing military order deduction.

And as the battle reports were sent back one by one, many people could no longer hold their breath, and the generals were filled with righteous indignation and expressed their thoughts.

"Everything is quiet!"

Suddenly, Chen Gong shouted angrily.

The headquarters suddenly fell silent, and the generals' eyes fell on Chen Gong.

"Continue to deduce the trend of the Wanshui front, and try our best to see if we can stabilize the situation without increasing the number of troops!"

"Promise!" More than a dozen generals accepted the order, and then threw themselves into the deduction.

"My lord, the Divine Guard can join the battle!"

Ma Chao cupped his hands and said, "I can block Lu Bu!"

"Need not!"

Mu Jing said: "Block Lu Bu, there is Huang Hansheng, he is already on the front line, you should settle down first, continue to recharge your energy, and nourish your energy. Next, there is room for you. At critical times, don't Just drop the chain!"

"Yes!"

Ma Chao took half a step back.

"No!"

Mu Jing thought for a while, and said: "You should go and participate in the deduction of the Wanshui front. A general's ability to control the battlefield is stronger than martial arts!"

"Yes!"

Ma Chao smiled wryly, walked up, and entered the scope of the sand table deduction. There were more than a dozen generals, some from various military departments, and some directly under the general staff. They had already familiarized themselves with the current warship.

………………

At this time, Chen Gong walked up to Mu Jing, and said in a low voice: "My lord, if the deduction continues according to the current situation, we will lose the Wanshui battlefield, it is a certainty!"

The Wei army's offensive was much more violent than the Ming army had expected.

Especially Wei Jun was fully prepared this time.

The advantages of the Ming army were suppressed. The super long-distance bed crossbows of the Ming army, the small-scale battle catapults, and the advantages of weapons were all suppressed a lot.

After all, weapons are dead, but talents are alive. Among the Wei army, there are so many advisers. Someone can always come up with a way, and there is always a way to suppress the Ming army's weapons.

And give full play to the strength of the Wei army.

Anyway, on today's battlefield, the Wei army's military advantage began to expand continuously, overwhelming the main forces of the Ming army and the two armies, almost unable to breathe.

In one day, the front line of [-] miles was lost. For the Wanshui front, the Ming army suffered a big loss. The living environment became more and more oppressive, and the combat effectiveness displayed would become weaker and weaker.

Because of this, the Wei army could widen their offensive formation, give full play to their superiority in strength, and attack the Ming army in all directions.

Two fists are no match for four legs. No matter how strong the Ming army is, it will not be invincible in all aspects. As the saying goes, even a lot of ants can kill an elephant. As long as the Wei army exerts their superiority in strength, it will definitely be able to crush the Ming army. on the water front.

"Do you have any idea?"

Mujing gritted his teeth and asked.

As the saying goes, planning is not as good as change.

It's about now.

The Ming army planned well, but the changes in the battlefield were still impossible to control, especially the miscalculation of the Wei army's combat power, which would bring disaster to the Ming army.

"Enter the decisive battlefield early!"

Chen Gong made a decision, saying: "Zhang Ren and the others can't hold back for too long. Before the Wanshui front is taken down by them, we have to give up and enter the Tai'an Plain!"

"It's possible to get out of the siege, but I'm afraid it's not easy to do. After all, the Wei army will not march according to our wishes. Tell me, where is the difficulty?"

"There is no reason!"

Chen Gong said with a wry smile: "Wei Jun has suffered too much. As long as there is even the slightest doubt about any of our actions, we will be careful. If we want them to enter the Tai'an Plain, we must give them a reason!"

"How do you feel about Gu?"

Mu Jing pointed to himself and asked.

"Your Majesty!" Chen Gong stared, and quickly knelt down: "Nevermind, defeat in this battle is not absolute for our Ming Kingdom, but Your Majesty belongs to the Ming Kingdom, so you must not risk yourself!"

"On the battlefield, who can survive, and if he wants to die, he will choke to death even if he takes a sip of water!"

Mu Jing raised his head and looked ahead, his eyes were cold: "We are all soldiers now, and we need to have the determination of a soldier. When we go to the battlefield, we are a little bit afraid of death. It is difficult for us to survive. If we want to be on the battlefield To survive, we can only rely on seven points of hard work and three points of luck. Now, we have made our best efforts, and the rest is all about luck. I still believe that God will be on our side!"
