Iris Mountain.

The army returned, but it was a little scattered, many soldiers were carrying corpses, drenched in blood, and the voice of grief and indignation suppressed the audience, even the main generals of the two armies, Zhang Liao and Huang Shao's faces were a little ugly, this battle was not won or defeated, strategically speaking, they won, because it must be so consumed, but tactically, they did not play very well in this night battle, and the fight was chaotic.

The most important thing is that the morale of the Hanzhong army is too strong, which they did not expect.

I thought that with a drum like a tiger, I could break through the Hanzhong army formation, and then pursue and cover the kill, and I would definitely win a big victory, but what I didn't expect was that although the Hanzhong army was not as strong as them in combat, its morale was much stronger than theirs.

This is a lose-lose game.

"What are our casualties in this battle?"

In a large camp, all the generals gathered to discuss post-battle pacification, count battle losses, count the results, Mu Jing strode up from outside, his eyes swept over, stared at the two main generals, and asked.

The victory or defeat can be seen, the pastoral army took the initiative to attack, took the initiative to withdraw the troops, and occupied the rhythm of the battlefield, it is impossible to be the defeated army, but to say that it is the victorious side, it depends on the casualties of the main force of the pastoral army before the result can be determined.

"Report to the lord, my Jingping Second Army, the casualties in this battle are more than 1,200 soldiers, hundreds of whom are seriously injured and unable to fight!" Li Yan, as the long history of Jingping's Second Army, not only commanded the troops in battle, but also took charge of logistics, and the casualties of various departments were under his control.

"Report to the lord, the casualties of my Yellow Turban Army are about 2,000 soldiers!"

Huang Shao also stood up and said bitterly.

The Yellow Turban Army invested five battalions of soldiers and horses, including the three battalions of the main force led by him personally, and the two battalions led by Fei Li and Fengqiu, to serve as the main force to besiege, and the natural casualties were even worse.

"After a big battle, the casualties of our soldiers exceeded 3,000, you guys, you really disappointed someone!" Mu Jing covered his heart and shouted pain, the battle in Hanzhong, all the way to kill, he wanted to surrender without a fight, but he didn't have this opportunity and ability, the number of casualties, let him hurt more and more, it was not easy for him to save this little bit of family money, in such a consumption, rootless duckweed, I am afraid that it will soon bottom out.

"The last general deserves death!"

The generals were immediately frightened, bowed their heads, and pleaded guilty.

"Forget it, the big war is coming, I won't settle accounts with you, when the war is over, I will settle this account with you!"

Mu Jing waved his hand, calmed down the evil breath in his heart, and asked in a voice: "How is the morale of the army now?" ”

Once the casualties are too large, it will affect morale.

This is an irreversible rule.

For example, if you find that the Shroud of Ma Ge, a comrade-in-arms who was born and died around you, died on the battlefield, your mood will inevitably be affected, one is not good, and under pessimism, the will to fight is lost, causing a chain reaction, that is, morale collapse.

"Rest assured, my lord, although this battle is a vicious battle, both sides are defeated, but our soldiers are free to advance and retreat on the battlefield, control the rhythm of the battle, as the attacking side, take advantage of it, and kill the other party is losing and retreating, for us, it is a victory!"

Zhang Liao replied: "Under the victory, it can soothe the sad hearts of the soldiers, and for the officers and soldiers in the army, it will not affect the morale!" ”

"That's good!"

Mu Jing breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes were gloomy, and he said, "How to fight next, have you thought about it?" ”

"Next, the Hanzhong army will wake up!"

Huang Shao spoke first: "I think they will probably withdraw their troops, of course, they must be afraid of us biting and not letting go, so they will slowly retreat, using tactics to delay our attack, delay our time, in this way, can achieve a purpose of consuming our grain and grass, although our food is fake, but it is undeniable that our grain and grass will only be left for a few days, and if we don't take the Hanzhong army, we will be defeated!" ”

"What General Huang said is reasonable!"

Zhang Liao said: "So I think that in the next step, we still have to take the initiative to attack!" ”

His eyes flashed, and his expression was firm: "Until now, there is no second way, and there is no shortcut, on the battlefield, strength is king, and the brave wins when they meet on the narrow road, as long as he dares to withdraw, I will dare to bite them, bite them to death, and never let them withdraw to Nanzheng!" ”

Although there are reinforcements in the two northeast directions, the Hanzhong army has also arranged troops, and the two battalions of Fan Xiao of the Yellow Turban Army are placed in the east, which may not be able to stop them, but it is still possible to hold them for a while, and the imperial court reinforcements in the north, the main force of the Jingping First Army is blocking, and they want to go south, unless they eat the Jingping First Army.

So Zhang Liao is not worried about the reinforcements of the Hanzhong Army, he is just thinking about it now, whether he can eat the Hanzhong Army before the food is cut off, this is the main problem, the food is a fact, their grain and grass can't survive for a few days.

If you can't take the Hanzhong army, this war, no matter how you lay it out, no matter how many methods you use to lure the enemy, it will fall short, and you will be defeated in the end.

"Rest for half a day, in this battle, I personally led the army to attack!"

Mu Jing stood up and said in a sharp voice.

"My lord!"

"Lord, the son of a daughter can't sit down, your body has just recovered now, and you must not be in danger!"

When the generals heard this, their faces suddenly changed in shock, and they hurriedly bowed their heads and resisted Mu Jing's troops.

Mu Jing was injured before, almost shaking the morale of the army, on the battlefield, not to mention his martial arts, even if he is as powerful as Lu Bu and Huang Zhong and others, he doesn't dare to say that he is foolproof, can he dodge the open gun, can he dodge the dark arrow?

"I've made up my mind!"

Mu Jing said firmly: "Why does the Hanzhong army have such morale, it is nothing more than a point, he commands the soldiers of the army with faith, so that they are not afraid in spirit, he can do it, I can, as long as I stand on the battlefield, I believe that in the face of the soldiers, the morale will not be half a point lower than them!" ”

He was in Iris Mountain, but every movement on the battlefield was truthfully reported to him by the observers, and from the beginning to the end of the war, he was aware of any changes, and the morale of the Hanzhong army was stronger than that of the pastoral army, which was a disadvantage.

The big war is now, between victory and defeat, Mu Jing knows very well that he can't be defeated, and he must use every strength to fight, even if he plays in person, he will not hesitate.

When he said this, the people were speechless.

Whether it is Zhang Liao or Huang Shao, they all know very well that they can be taken out of the pass, Mu Jing is the spirit of the herdsman, Mu Jing personally commands on the battlefield, and he commands remotely in the back, and the impact on the soldiers is completely different.

…………

……

Iris Mountain, from the irises, the back of the mountain full of iris, such a season, is the beginning of spring, a bud is about to bloom.

Zhang Ning was dressed in men's clothes, as warm as white jade, with both hands behind his back.

A teenager stood behind him.

"Zhang Yu, are you absolutely sure that these masters and dead soldiers of the Five Dou Mi Sect will listen to you?" Zhang Ning's voice was gentle, but it was murderous.

"The great commander, my father has been in business for many years, although he lost to Zhang Lu, but he only lost the impression of Hanzhong, and the Five Dou Mi Sect, my father's prestige is unmatched!"

Zhang Yu looked at Zhang Ning's back, he was reverent, he only knew one thing, when he was desperate, when he was desperate, when he was desperate, it was this person who appeared and saved himself.

So no matter what Zhang Ning asks him to go, he will do it.

"Several elders were recruited by my father back then and gave them martial arts secrets, even if my father is dead now, as long as I am still alive and I come forward in person, they will never betray!"

Zhang Yu said.

Zhang Xiu has won the hearts of the people in Hanzhong for many years, and established the Wudoumi Sect, how could there be no loyal soldiers, if he was not defeated too quickly and betrayed by Zhang Suo, he would not have fallen into defeat and died.

"But Zhang Lu has the Heavenly Master Iron Guard by his side!" Zhang Yu said: "Even if we launch it, the Heavenly Master Iron Guard, plus the masters of the Heavenly Master Dao, and a few traitors of the Five Dou Mi Sect, it will be very difficult to kill him!" ”

"Su Wen Heavenly Master Tiewei, once ranked alongside the Yellow Turban Warrior of my Taiping Dao, he is a dead man!"

Zhang Ning's big smart eyes flashed with murderous intent: "I want to see it, Zhang Yu, you go and prepare, contact them, I know I want them to serve, I should go to see them in person, I will go to the Hanzhong military camp to see them tonight!" ”

"No!"

Zhang Yu gave up his hand to take the order.

"Jin Jiu!"

"Grand Commander!" The young man stepped forward and stood by.

"From now on, the Divine Guard Army is under your command, and all the soldiers in command of the Divine Guard Army must protect the lord well, the lord is the soul of the herdsman, if there is any loss, only you ask!"

"Grand Commander, don't you want to discuss it with the lord?" Jin Jiu asked with some bitterness.

"No need!"

Zhang Ning raised his head, his eyes scorching: "If you discuss it with him, he won't allow it!" ”

Using the five buckets of rice to assassinate the ghost pawns who were mixed in, the chance of success is not great, and the most important thing is that assassination is not a good thing in Mu Jing's heart, and he also lets himself take risks in person, and it is even more impossible to allow it, so he has to cut it first and then play.
