Chapter 1457 Ming Wei Decisive Battle Eight

The main battalion of the Wei army has been pushed directly to the front line. It is less than 800 meters away from the main battlefield, and it is condescending to observe the battle on the entire battlefield.

"How long will it take to eat up all the Wanshui front?"

Cao Cao was wearing a battle armor, holding a sword hilt in his hand, and a pair of tiger eyes were stern, staring at the battle ahead, his eyes were a little dark, but his aura was very sharp.

"My lord, for now, the resistance of the Ming army is still relatively tenacious. Although they don't have many troops, they occupy a favorable terrain and it is very difficult for us to advance!"

Guo Jia, dressed in a green robe, had just come out from the front line to supervise the battle, and reported to Cao Cao the progress of the past two days.

Although he looks relaxed, under the loose green robe, he also wears a suit of armor, and there is a breast shield on his chest. This is a battlefield. Draining across the void could kill him.

"I don't want to hear this!"

Cao Cao slashed his sword, looked far away, looked at the battlefield with cold eyes, and said: "Gu just wants to know, Gu has already put all the troops on this front, when will they be able to take this battle?" If the front line is eaten up, is it possible that we will fall short when the Ming army returns to the east?"

He didn't ask about the situation on the Eastern Front, but he believed that with the help of Cheng Yu, Xiahoudun would not cause the Eastern Front to collapse. As long as his main force broke through the Wanshui front, the entire Wancheng would be covered by his troops.

At that time, the Ming army will have no place to hide.

This is different from the previous attack on Wancheng. Last time, the Ming army took the initiative to retreat, and the Wanshui battle line was surrounded by hourglasses.

But now, as long as they take advantage of the trend to eat the Wanshui front, the Ming army will have nothing to rely on outside the city. Once they leave the city, it will be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger.

Of course, the premise is that they can successfully eat the Wanshui front.

This front relies on Wanshui. First, the river blocks the attacking front, and then there are pits on all sides. The defense is strong, but the offense is insufficient.

The Wei army invested more than four times the Ming army, but it was still stalemate for a long time.

"At most, before noon tomorrow, our army can eat the Wanshui front!" Guo Jia thought for a while and said softly.

"Before sunset!"

Cao Cao issued a death order: "Gu must cross the front line of Wanshui and directly attack the city wall of Wancheng!"

"Yes!"

Guo Jia took a deep breath, and let people pass on this military order, and some pressure was needed to make the soldiers display stronger combat effectiveness.

on the battlefield.

The long Wanshui flowing down the river is a place of battle, and the meandering river has instead formed a battle line, which is very long.

The Ming army and the Wei army were fighting along the front of the river.

"Rush over!"

Lu Bu became extremely fierce. He took the lead, led the vanguard army, and was the first to break through the core of the Wanshui front, Dongdukou.

"Whoever blocks me, die!"

"kill!"

At Dongdukou, the fight began.

"Stop them!"

"The first line of defense, you can't retreat, kill them!"

When Lu Bu was the first to rush to the East Ferry, Huang Zhong had already killed him immediately. His subordinates were the main force of Jingping's Second Army, a barbarian who was very murderous.

However, Lu Bu came directly with the momentum, but he was able to press Huang Zhong's front line. Huang Zhong lacked momentum.

In the confrontation between the main generals, even if they fall behind for a moment, it will cause the entire front to change.

This gave Wei Jun and their main force to cross the East Ferry Pass continuously, forcibly tore open a gap in the Wanshui front, and pressed the battlefield on the south bank.

"I can't hold it anymore!"

Zhang Ren lived in the Chinese army.

This time, he personally commanded the main forces of the two armies, including Jingping's third army, who was also under his control, and Mujing gave him the command right on the battlefield.

"Order the third army at a high rate to withdraw 500 meters!"

Zhang Ren thought over and over again, and issued this military order.

"General Zhonglang, with the withdrawal of the third army, wouldn't the second army be under a lot of pressure?" Several generals suddenly changed their colors when they heard this.

"Execute the military order!" Zhang Ren shouted.

"Yes!"

The quality of the Ming army was very high. At this time, Zhang Ren was the chief general, and the command of the chief general could be questioned, but there should be no excuses. The crime of delaying military orders was a very serious item in the military laws of the Ming army.

"General Zhonglang, the king's secret order!"

At this time, a secret order came from the rear headquarters.

Zhang Ren opened the secret order.

Take a look.

It was burned immediately.

He took a deep breath: "Order General Han Sheng to lead the second battalion and third battalion of the second army to block the enemy for half an hour. The rest of the battalions, before sunset, withdraw from the whole line for me to preserve the main force. Three ways, retreat to the Tai'an Plain in the east!"

"East?"

"why?"

"Didn't you withdraw to the main city?"

Everyone became more and more confused.

However, Zhang Ren's military order was transmitted smoothly, and it was quickly passed to the generals of the two armies in front.

"The rest of the battalions, retreat immediately, don't love to fight, the second battalion and the third battalion stay, follow a certain family, stop them at Dongdukou!"

As the privy envoy of the Privy Council, Huang Zhong seemed a bit out of line to listen to Zhang Ren's command, but on the battlefield, he naturally accepted it.

He was born as a military commander, and to reach this position is more about prestige and qualifications, and the ability to command the entire army, he is actually not close.

He is better at being a general than a commander. The effect he can exert on the front line is much stronger than sitting in the army.

Of course, as the leader of the Ming army, if he is unwilling, no one can mobilize him unless Mu Jing forces him to order.

The reason for the current situation is more because of Lu Bu. Lu Bu is too strong. Looking at the entire Ming army system, only Huang Zhong can stop it. Only with more elite weapons and soldiers can Lu Bu be suppressed.

And it's just that it can be suppressed, and there is a risk of being unable to suppress it. Once it cannot be suppressed, Lu Bu will drive straight in, which is enough to destroy the command system of the Ming army, causing the Ming army to collapse directly in the front line.

The Ming army didn't dare to take such a risk, so they had to use Huang Zhong's trump card to block Lu Bu directly in the front line.

in the city.

Frontline Headquarters.

The outside has already begun to move. Pack up all the things in the headquarters and prepare to transfer, including Mu Jing, who will go out of the city to fight in person.

"Zhuge!"

At this time, Mujing explained some things in the city: "Wancheng suffers because of loneliness. This is because Gu is sorry for the people of Wancheng. But so far in the war, there is no way for Gu to have both. Gu has decided to leave the city for a decisive battle. Wancheng will You will lose all your defenses, the Wei army may not slaughter the people, but you have to defend, so you have to organize the rest of the people, take refuge in the south, and after this battle is over, it will not be too late to come back!"

Leaving an empty city, this is foolproof.

In case, what in case, Cao Cao took Wancheng and threatened the people of Wancheng to let the Ming army return to the city to fight, then the Ming army would fall into a passive position.

"Does it have to be so?"

Zhuge Xuan was a little sad. Although many people had gone south to take refuge in Xinye during this period of time, there were still many people who were unwilling to leave Wancheng as the main city of Nanzhou.

"The decisive battle has begun. Whoever takes a step back will be lost forever!" Mu Jing's voice was very soft, but he was firm. Although he had thoughts from the future, he cared little about human life, and he didn't want blood to flow into rivers, and he didn't want to be slaughtered. In this era, wars have been fought for more than ten years, and he has come to today step by step. He has been baptized many times, and he will not have too much benevolence.

"My subordinates understand!"

Zhuge Xuan accepted the order with tears in his eyes. As a parent official, he felt somewhat sorry for the people of Wancheng.

"Yan Yan is still the governor of Nanzhou. He will lead the arresters of the six gates and personally assist you to protect the people going south. This battle has caused the people to suffer. The only thing I can do is this!"

Mu Jing sighed: "If the common people blame the blame in the future, they are willing to bear it alone!"

No one wants to implicate the people in the war. We all just want to win this battle, but the situation is like this and has to change.

"Yes!"

Zhuge Xuan cheered up quickly.

"It's best to leave the city before tonight!" Mu Jing raised his head and looked in two directions to the northeast: "Our soldiers and horses can't hold back for too long. In a couple of days, the Wei army may break the city!"

When he gave up Wancheng, he couldn't care about these anymore.

"As soon as possible!"

Zhuge Xuan moved quickly.

"How is the situation outside the city?"

Mu Jing climbed to the top of the city again.

"Our army can't stop it!"

Chen Gong was behind him, and sighed slightly: "The difference in military strength has caused us to suffer a lot on the Wanshui front. Although Zhang Ren has done a good job, the generals of the Wei army should not be underestimated. Yu Jin Cao Ren , are all famous generals, their offense is safe enough, plus a Lu Bu who acts as a pioneer to open the way, it really means invincible!"

"Gu never dare to underestimate the generals of the Wei army!"

Mu Jing said in a low voice: "But I have to admit one thing, the middle-level generals, our Ming army is not afraid of the princes of the world, but the high-level generals, our Ming army, there is still a gap!"

He can use generals, too few, if there are more, maybe the battle situation will not be so tragic.

"It's getting dark!"

Mujing looked to the west, the sun had already set, the light became softer, and it changed from morning sun to sunset, but it was only a few hours.

"Our military order is to order them to withdraw from the battle line after nightfall, but just now there is news that they are about to withdraw in advance, and the clerk Huang personally cut off the rear!"

Chen Gongdao.

"Huang Zhong is trying to stop Lu Bu!" Mu Jing smiled lightly. On the battlefield of cold weapons, personal force can exert a great effect. It can't stop Lu Bu, and can't control the variables on the battlefield. Among the generals of the Ming army, Ma Chao is useful, but only Huang Hansheng, the Nanyang Sword, can stop a ferocious tiger like Lu Bu.

"My lord, are we going to retreat after nightfall?" Chen Gong asked.

"No!"

Mu Jing thought for a while: "The guards are ready to withdraw from the city immediately. At this time, we should give some signals to the Wei army. It's too secretive, but it's not good. I'll just wait until Cao Cao can't figure it out. As long as they enter our rhythm Among them, we can continue the layout!"

Although Chen Gong was a little worried, Mu Jing had already made a decision. It was not something he could object to. As a Mu Jing who was about to conquer the country, he was as strong as a tiger. Even if Hu Zhaoxizhi was here, the things he decided could not be questioned. of.

"Then I'll go get ready!"

Chen Gong bowed his hands in salute.

"Report!"

Suddenly a scout reported information.

"Say!"

"Wei Jun has pushed into the East City!" said the scout.

"When?"

"A quarter of an hour ago!"

"Come so fast?"

Mu Jing was slightly surprised: "Is there a problem on the Eastern Front, or..."

He shook his head.

There should be no problem on the eastern front. The main possibility is that Chen Dao and Wenpin have some kind of moth. This guy is about to change his tactics, so he indulged the Wei army to attack the city.

At this time, the news was not smooth, but it became the biggest problem of the war.

He didn't know what Chen Dao and Wenpin thought after they joined forces, but Chen Daohe and Wenpin probably didn't know either. He was going to let Wancheng go.

Tactics clashed.

At this time, Mujing didn't have time to inform Chen Daohe Wenpin, he could only change his team, and his plan to leave the city early had to be changed.

"Come on!"

"exist!"

"Go and tell Zhuge Xuan, Yan Yan, to evacuate all the people in the East City within an hour!"

"Yes!"

"Also tell Chen Gong to delay leaving the city by an hour!"

"Yes!"

"Ma Chao!"

"exist!"

"You personally take the main force of the guards to Dongcheng, restrain the Wei army for an hour, and then withdraw!"

"But I'm not here, the king's safety..."

Ma Chao is the commander of the Divine Guard Army. The responsibility of the Divine Guard Army is to protect the safety of Mujing. Now the Divine Guard Army has three battalions. In addition to the Divine Guard Battalion, the main force of the two battalions, one battalion, has already After entering the Tai'an Plain, the main force of the battalion was left.

"It doesn't matter!" Mu Jing waved his hand: "With the Shenweiying by Gu's side, even if Lu Bu charged in himself, he still wouldn't be able to kill Gu!"

The Divine Guard Battalion has the smallest number of troops, less than a hundred, but each of them is an inner strength warrior, and basically joining the Divine Guard Battalion will give up the weapons they have cultivated before and practice the same weapon alone.

Taiping hook.

The Taiping Divine Guard itself is a battle formation, inherited from the Taiping Martial Arts Classics. It used to protect the safety of the Holy Maiden Zhang Ning, but now it is Mujing's absolute guard.

Even if the Taiping Divine Guard formed an formation, even if it was as powerful as Lu Bu, it would be ruthless. Of course, it is not invulnerable. If you face it head-on, forming an formation can indeed block all enemies.

But warriors who are good at assassination, like the Yanshan sword sage Wang Yue, if he personally assassinated, and the Taiping Shenwei battle formation was not lined up, Mu Jing might have been assassinated.

However, there are only a handful of people who have such means.

Looking at the world, there is nothing more than one or two

But for the sake of absolute safety, Ma Chao has been guarding Mu Jing for many years. Ma Chao and the Shenwei Battalion are foolproof. Even Wang Yue, an assassin like Wang Yue, can't get close.

"Go!" Mu Jing looked at his pocket watch and said, "We don't have much time, we have to leave the city after nightfall!"

"Yes!"

Ma Chao could only grit his teeth and obey the military order.

………………

Cheng Yu approached the city with ease, which made him a little bit stunned, and what made him feel a little bit wrong was that the east city was too quiet.

The guards of the Ming army are not as strict as I imagined.

He was a little ready to move.

However, before he could act, he was warned by the arrow rain in the city. After a round of arrow rain, dense figures appeared on the city wall.

"Command, set up camp!"

Cheng Yu was still more careful, and ordered to set up camp, not daring to attack for the time being.
