Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 904 Target, Dianchi City!

Silent night.

Inside the cabin, oil lamps flickered brightly, and figures were busy going back and forth. Mu Jinggao sat on the top seat, closing his eyes, while the leaders and generals of the various ministries lingering around the sand table were all engaged in heated discussions. middle.

"I don't think it's time to strike!"

"The fighter plane is fleeting, and now it has been confirmed that many of their main forces have moved forward for ten miles and entered our attack range. I think we should attack immediately!"

"The key is that the position of the barbarian army cannot be determined!"

"The barbarian army relies on the advantages of the surrounding mountains and forests. They are in the dark, but we are in the open. Now, even if there is a harvest, it is only a small harvest. It is easy to scare them back!"

"This can't be counted like this. Greed is never allowed on the battlefield. When it's time to fight, you must seize the best opportunity!"

"I don't think it's the best opportunity yet!"

"Now should be the best time for us to seize!"

"..."

The debate was fierce.

Chen Gong is the head of the staff department, and is currently the second military adviser in the entire Beiwutang, except for Xi Zhicai. He is the leader and has gathered a lot of generals, in addition to the Jingping Navy, the Shenwei Army, The battalion generals of various ministries will participate in the generals, and there are many participating generals with a little ability.

Among the lieutenants of the various ministries, apart from Sima, there are more generals, which is different from the current military establishment.

Mu Jing established the system of generals, that is, he regards generals as staff officers, that is, military advisers.

After the establishment of the general system, some people showed their talents, such as several generals of the staff department, Nanshan, Murao, Yu Lei, general Dong Ming of the Jingping Navy, general Chang Gong of the Jingping First Army, Yu Ying, a member of the Shenwei Army...

Participating generals are equivalent to staff officers. They must be familiar with the art of war and have the ability to plan military affairs. Most of them are scholars.

These participating generals, Mu Jing is very unfamiliar with them in the history books of later generations, but their abilities cannot be denied. In this era when talents are born in large numbers, too many pearls in the sea have not been discovered.

Mujing is like a little butterfly, which has stirred up the trajectory of history. Along with many people around him, they are changing their destiny. Those who follow him, those who are against him, those who should be dazzling The unknown people are gradually changing.

The quarrel continued.

Those who attack and those who do not attack maintain their arguments, arguing red-faced, saying that the public is right, and the woman is saying that the woman is right, spitting all over the place.

"My lord, this subordinate believes that it is time to attack now!"

After a while, the quarrel gradually subsided. As the head of the staff department, Chen Gong, he seemed to have unified everyone's opinions, walked out, bowed his hands to Mu Jing, and said.

"Attack now?"

Mujing squinted his eyes and glanced over. The discussion in the cabin had already quieted down. His words made many people look at their attitudes. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he asked, "Is this the final result of your discussion?"

Gathering all the generals and establishing the command system of the Chinese army is to gather the strengths of the people, deduce the battle situation, and reduce the accidents that can happen to the most unlikely point.

"Yes!"

Chen Gong nodded and said: "According to the current feedback from the front line, we believe that the fighter plane cannot wait, it is fleeting. Although there are hidden dangers, attacking is the best behavior to break the guess. We cannot give the enemy time to react!"

"Since the discussion results have been reached, then in the name of the commander of the Chinese army, issue a military order immediately!"

Mu Jing didn't think that his thoughts alone could compare to the thoughts of this group of staff. Since they thought that now was the best opportunity, they should attack now.

"Order the first battalion of the Jingping Navy to enter Dashawan immediately!"

"Order the [-]nd Battalion and [-]rd Battalion of the Jingping Navy to cross the Lushui Qiushan Ferry and attack the [-]th Company Battalion on the opposite side!"

"Order the first battalion and the second battalion of the Dongzhou Army, under the support of the fifth battalion of the Jingping Navy, to attack the opposite cross road!"

"Order Jingping First Army, Shuofang Battalion, to defend the barbarian army on the west side!"

"........."

A series of military orders from the headquarters were issued, and they were quickly thrown into the battalions. In the night, amidst the rapid mobilization of troops, the sound of footsteps, beating drums, and shouts seemed to envelope the sky of Ziwei County all at once. above.

The battle of Wei County started at midnight that night, and it started completely.

Mu Jun's fierce attack suddenly panicked the soldiers of Yizhou County.

The soldiers of Yizhou County advanced slowly step by step, not in a hurry. Although they encountered a counterattack, they defended quickly. They established a defensive formation in the northern suburbs, and then deployed troops before and after lingering around the crossroad.

This seems to be a bit evenly matched.

However, this situation only lasted until dawn. Just after dawn, the [-] barbarian army led by Meng Jie came out of the unknown mountain forest on the west side, like a tiger entering the battlefield.

They broke through the defense line on the west side of the Shepherd Army in one fell swoop.

But this also exposes their position.

The Mu army had been prepared for a long time, and arranged the Shuofang camp in the most critical position, that is, on the mountain road less than [-] miles away from the battlefield. With the assault of the barbarian army, the western fortifications established by the Shuofang camp blocked the barbarian army from attacking. Military industry.

The main force of the Mu army quickly dispatched the strategic deployment, directly abandoned the offensive against the main force of Yizhou, turned around the line of defense, and the whole army rushed to the battlefield of the barbarian army.

The [-] barbarian army established a twelve-mile front on the west bank of Dasha Bay in Lushui. The herding army assembled the main force, defending on the one hand and attacking on the other, attacking from both sides. After a day of fighting, Meng Jie left the corpses of [-] warriors , Lushui withdrew from Wei County after the defeat, and slowly withdrew towards the mountains and forests to the west.

The Mu army chased for fifty miles, and finally gave up on the pursuit of the barbarian army, and dispatched the main force back to the frontal battlefield as quickly as possible.

The three-day Battle of Wei County came to an end.

The Mu army invested about [-] troops, and lost less than [-] soldiers.

Yizhou County soldiers and barbarians invested [-] main forces.

Yizhou county soldiers and barbarian troops were both defeated, and the battle damage was as high as five thousand sons.

This is not a city wall offensive and defensive battle. Both sides are on a plain battlefield, ten to one. This kind of battle damage, like a thunderbolt, almost knocked Yong Kai into a coma. gap between.

Two days later, the Mu army cleaned up the battlefield, and once again approached the city of Wei County. They marched in parallel by land and water, and surrounded Wei County from the west and north. This time, the momentum was even stronger. Coming, as if like a heavy ocean wave, covering the past directly.

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

"How did that happen?"

Among the county government offices in Wei County, Yong Kai was furious: "Obviously we took the initiative to attack, obviously we took advantage of the geographical advantage, obviously we boosted morale and regained the home court advantage, why did we come back in a big defeat? We occupy the geographical advantage The advantage, the momentum is surging, but they are defeated by them, it is shameful, it is too shameful!"

He couldn't believe such a result.

In this battle, he did not deny that he was a little aggressive.

But he took every step very steadily, and he did not go deep alone. The soldiers and horses supported each other and advanced layer by layer, but he did not cross the river.

Such a result can be seen directly, but unwilling to accept and believe.

"Master Taishou, this battle is not a defeat, but a crime of war!" Xu Min said in a low voice: "Our strategic deployment is correct, to win the first blow to boost the army's prestige, but we underestimated the fighting power of the Mu army!"

"Of course, in terms of strategy, we also lost!"

He said bitterly: "Our intention is to take advantage of the geographical advantage. Why don't they take advantage of the geographical advantage? Lushui is on both sides of the north and south banks, and Dashawan is a corner. They have a navy, but they have taken advantage of it. And we But because of Lushui, they entered a difficult situation. They suddenly dispatched the main force to attack the barbarian army west, but we spent a day and a night because of the problem of crossing the river, giving them a chance to defeat the barbarian army. Difficult to advance an inch, this is the first defeat, the second defeat, our combat power is far inferior to theirs, this is a fact, if we don't fight, we don't know, after the war, we discovered that two soldiers may not be able to fight for the next Mujun soldier! "

"Are they really that strong?"

Yong Kai was not reconciled.

"powerful!"

The leading generals looked at Yong Kai and said with wry smiles.

They were all the main generals in Wei County's first battle. They were personally on the scene and understood the combat effectiveness of the main force of the Mu army best. With the main force of the first battalion, the enemy army, with less than 3000 people, actually defeated their formation of 8000 people.

This is an unspeakable shame in their hearts.

The most important thing is that in terms of equipment, the Mu army has left them a few streets, and they are fighting against each other. The defeat in weapons made them feel even more aggrieved.

"How is the situation over there?"

Yong Kai asked in a low voice with a gloomy face.

"The damage is huge!"

Xu Min replied: "Meng Jie was also injured. He led the remnant soldiers and withdrew from the rest in the mountains 150 miles away. At present, we can't get in touch. He probably has a lot of grievances against us. To put it bluntly, this time, We are also at a disadvantage, after all, we failed to entangle the main force of the Mu army!"

"Where's Meng Huo?"

"The barbarian king was originally the main force of the barbarian army entangled in the rear. After receiving the news of the defeat yesterday, he personally led [-] elite barbarian troops. They have already entered the Qizhuan Lianhuan Bay and stationed on the plains on the western front, just in case!"

"fair enough!"

Yong Kai breathed a sigh of relief: "With him guarding the suburbs on both sides of the southwest, it is equivalent to guarding the back road for us. In this county, we can advance and retreat freely!"

"If the barbarian king has resentment..." someone said suddenly.

"Meng Huo is not stupid!"

Yong Kai shook his head: "As long as Yizhou County and Yongchang County are still under my control, he will never turn against me. The main force of the barbarian army can still be used, and if we don't want to surrender, we can only do our best. I will do my best. , he has to work hard!"

He knew exactly what Meng Huo wanted.

This is a tribal king.

He is so desperate, but he wants the barbarians to live better, and he doesn't want the barbarians to be trapped in the mountains for generations. He has fought countless times, fighting one after another, and more is to establish the prestige of the barbarians. Establish barbarian dignity.

The territory where the barbarians live now is his territory. Whether it is Yizhou, Yongchang, or Yueyi, they cannot just hide in the mountains. They will come out to exchange some daily necessities. This is what Yongkai can handle. Meng Huo's method.

"Then what shall we do next?" Xu Min narrowed his eyes.

"Take defense as offense!"

Yong Kai changed his strategy: "Although Wei County is small, there is one man who can guard the terrain. With our strength, as long as we don't attack, and the barbarian troops support us in the suburbs, it will not be a problem for him to spend a year or so. !"

"Hey!"

As he said that, Yong Kai sighed a little, and said in a low voice: "Before, I underestimated the Mujun army too much. We faced the battle head-on. We are not strong enough, so we can only spend it. This is Yizhou County, Nanzhong, Nanzhong with rugged mountain roads, I don't believe that the Minghou Mansion has so much spare power to spend with me here, as long as they block them for a year or so, they will withdraw their troops by themselves!"

He had a good idea, but...

The Mu army had already bypassed this line of defense that he thought was strong, and headed towards his base camp.

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

The time begins to enter July.

The southwest in July is unstoppably hot.

Yizhou County is governed by sixteen counties, and its population is the largest among the four counties in Nanzhong, but only a few hundred thousand, but most of the population is concentrated in Dianchi City, and several cities around Dianchi City. County towns, very few.

Especially southeast.

The southeast of Yizhou County, which is connected to the northwest of Cang County and Jiaozhi County, is full of jungles.

Lugao County.

This is a small county town like a mountain city. There are not many Han people in the city, and many of them are local barbarians. The population adds up, but it is only a few thousand people.

This small mountain city was quietly taken down.

Sha Moke and Leihu stood side by side on the top of the city.

Their eyes are all staring at the north, which is the direction of Dianchi Lake.

"Next, I'm afraid I won't be able to hide my whereabouts!"

Lei Hu said in a low voice.

"It's normal!" Shamoke said: "We have already entered the hinterland of Yizhou County. I have met Yong Kai, the prefect of Yizhou, and he is very shrewd. Back then, he brought Meng Huo and wanted to recruit me. The Wuxi barbarians were just rejected by us. We have entered here now, a few steps away from Dianchi City. If their people haven't noticed a little bit, it will be too useless. How can they be matched with Minghou? For the enemy!"

"You're good at flattering horses!"

Lei Hu squinted at Sha Moke: "The lord is not here, what's the use of you praising him!"

"I just told you to listen!"

Sha Moke patted his smooth forehead with his big hand, and said with a smile: "It is impossible for Wuxi Man to wander in the deep mountains all the time. We always have to go to the shore. I feel pretty good at the wharf of Minghou Mansion. Since I want to You are the best stake. They all say that you, Leihu, are Minghou's most trusted confidant general. You and Minghou have lived and died together for more than ten years. Relying on you, you must be Minghou. Hou will not turn his face and deny anyone!"

"The heart of a villain measures the belly of a gentleman!"

Lei Hu said indifferently: "My lord, if you agree, you should, and you shouldn't, don't talk about my face, even if the former master is resurrected, he would dare to turn his back on him, relying on me, it's worth it!"

"That's for sure!"

Shamoke smiled: "The life and death of so many tribesmen in the tribe, be careful, don't overdo it, you can do better, I hope to do better!"

"You might as well use your heart in this battle!"

Lei Hu said: "Regardless of your background in the Marquis of Ming Dynasty, the lord once said that the sea is tolerant to all rivers, and Min Wu, who joined the wolf and the Qiang, defected to the lord, established the wolf camp, and held the military power alone, but the lord never hesitated to speculate. Why, because he has military exploits, and military exploits are the key to whether you can gain a foothold in the Minghou Mansion!"

"Are you successful in battle?"

Sha Moke raised his head, his eyes flashed a bright light: "It will be there soon!"

"Next, we need to speed up!"

Lei Hu said: "We made a big circle from Zangcai, walked half of Yizhou County, and attacked from the north and the south. Although we were hiding, it took too much time. Since the next step is to expose our whereabouts, Then we must hurry up, as quickly as possible, and approach the city of Dianchi Lake!"

Dianchi City, their goal.
