Within a radius of 100 miles from the street pavilion, it has become a blood-colored battlefield, the north and south broke out at the same time, more than 200,000 soldiers and horses from both sides of Wu and Wei put into the battle, and the whole night of chaotic fighting, the monstrous shouting and killing sound penetrated through the nine heavens above the clouds.

This battle started overnight.

It was not until the east turned white, the sun jumped out of the coastline, and the light of the morning sun poured completely over the earth, that the battle ceased.

"Wu Jun has withdrawn his troops?"

On the city wall of Jieting Nancheng, Zhang Heng and Cao Zhang were covered in blood, and the generals under their command were exhausted, and their eyes watched the soldiers of the Wu army retreat like a tide, and their hearts were finally relieved after a night of tightening.

This night, they were not happy, the attack of the Wu army was a little different, it was a white-hot bloody battle as soon as it came up, it was too ruthless, and it was a death battle without even warming up, and they almost couldn't bear it.

If it weren't for the proper arrangement of Fu Zhu, Zhang Heng led his troops to reinforce in time, and Cao Zhang's morale was even more inspiring, I am afraid that this Jieting Nancheng would have been broken by the Wu army.

"Are they really retreating, or is it just temporary?"

Frustrated robes hunting, standing on the city wall, his face was also very tired, but his eyes were all attentive, looking at the Wu army outside the city constantly retreating, Qu Russia asked suspiciously: "Will you kill one of us?" ”

"They should really retreat!"

Zhang Heng thought for a while, stared at the retreating Wu army in the distance, and said: "The so-called siege battle, a drum with momentum like a tiger can break the city, again and again, again and again, three and exhaustion, they can't take the city wall even after repeated attacks, so naturally they have to rest, otherwise they will suffer heavy casualties!" ”

In last night's battle, although they suffered heavy casualties, the casualties of the Wu army were still above them, which was worth celebrating.

"Well, Wu Jun is not afraid of death, I guess he will retire today!"

Cao Zhang said coldly.

"Hmm!"

He observed for a long time, until the soldiers of the Wu army began to set up camp five miles away, and he nodded in agreement: "The Wu army estimates that the casualties are not small, and they need to breathe a sigh of relief, and they should not attack again today!" ”

"I wonder what the situation is in Beicheng?"

Zhang Heng suddenly turned his head, looked at the north, and said: "The Xianbei army also picked a good time, and it was actually able to respond to the battle of Nancheng and raid our army, and it is estimated that the horse play will not be able to bear it!" ”

"Last night, I also heard the sound of fighting in the direction of Longshan, and there was also a fight in that direction, but the result is still unclear!" Cao Zhangdao.

"Regardless of the other directions, we must hold here!" Frustrated with a firm expression.

"Of course!"

Cao Zhang and Zhang Heng glanced at each other and nodded.

Zhang Heng's face was solemn, his eyes looked at a camp tent rising from the ground in the distance, and the blurred figures of the soldiers of the Wu army who were densely packed back and forth, and said in a deep voice: "The Wu army's strength is too strong, they will definitely not give up so easily, and make it clear that they want to eat our Northern Wolf Guard!" ”

"Eat the Northern Wolf Guard, their appetite is too big!"

Cao Zhang sneered: "The Northern Wolf Guard is now the number one main force of my Great Wei, can they be eaten?" ”

With the strength of the North Wolf Guard, if you can't win, can't you break through, Wu Jun wants to besiege and kill, unless they are forced to walk into a Jedi, otherwise it is not easy.

"Don't take it lightly!"

Frustrated but not as confident as Cao Zhang, they made too many mistakes in this battle, and now that the situation is reversed, he can't predict the result, but his face is a little bitter and said: "Now that the position of the hand has been completely reversed, the current strength of the Wu army may really have the ability to eat us!" ”

"How do I feel about the battle in Liangzhou, the more it fights, the more chaotic it becomes, and I don't know what happened to General Sima's side?"

Cao Zhang gritted his teeth, and there was a trace of uneasiness in his heart.

"I guess it's not good!"

Zhang Hengdao: "The Wu army came prepared, but our ambush became their urn to catch turtles, this time not to mention keeping Liangzhou, whether we can keep the main force to withdraw is a big problem!" ”

"Don't talk about this now, after you deploy the defense, immediately go and appease the morale of the army, there were great casualties last night, at least 5,000 casualties, the morale of the army will inevitably be turbulent, and the next is the bloody battle, you must appease the emotions of the soldiers!"

Fu Zhu sighed, turned around and left the city wall: "I'll go meet General Ma Chao immediately and discuss the next strategy!" ”

After speaking, he took hundreds of guards and rode towards the northern city.

When Fu Zhu returned to the Beicheng military camp, the battle in the north had already stopped, and the Xianbei army was camped three miles outside the northern suburbs, basically occupying the Wei army's former camp and holding the city gate Wei army.

When he walked into the camp, he also felt that the atmosphere inside and outside the barracks had been completely tense, and even the aura of the Yuanmen sentry became solemn.

"General Ma!"

Frustrated into the Chinese army camp, there was only Ma Chao in the camp, his burly body stood in front of a topographic map hung up with a screen, looking at the topographic map, looking very fascinated.

"The Frustrated Military Master is back!" When Ma Chao heard this, he came back to his senses, turned his head, looked at him, and asked, "How is the situation in Nancheng?" ”

"The Wu army has temporarily withdrawn!"

"Have you seen clearly which part of the soldiers and horses this part is Wu Jun?" Ma Chao squinted slightly, and asked a little impatiently.

He is not afraid of having an opponent, he is afraid that he doesn't even know who the opponent is.

"Army Center!"

"Are you sure?" When Ma Chao heard this, his pupils contracted suddenly.

"From their scale, from their battle flags, eight or nine are not far from ten!" Frustrated said.

"As far as I know, the Central Army has been severely defeated by Captain Guo in the battle of Runan, and they are now cultivating in Jinling City, it seems that the Wu army is transporting troops north from the sky and the sea, how many of them came?" Ma Chao asked with a solemn face.

"I look at their scale, and it is estimated that even if the entire legion does not pour out, eighty percent of the strength of this legion should be transported to Xiliang!" Fu Zhu replied: "In the end last night, they should just be trying to find out, if it is a real attack, we may not be able to withstand it!" ”

"No wonder their troops are so magnificent, and while attacking you head-on, they can also free up tens of thousands of elite cavalry to attack the Longshan military camp and respond to the withdrawal of their Wu army on Longshan, which turned out to pull the central army apart!"

Ma Chao's face was indifferent, and there was a gloomy look in his eyes: "We lost this battle, we lost in intelligence, we stupidly walked into the trap they arranged, people counted us unintentionally, how can we not be defeated!" ”

"General, on the Yongshan side?"

He was a little surprised.

"The Wu army besieged on Longshan has already stood out!"

Ma Chao said lightly: "There is an elite army under the mountain to meet them, defeated the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, we have not achieved many results, Bai Wai has been around for so many days, I knew that even if I paid a certain price, I would have annihilated them first!" ”

"So, it is we who are now surrounded by the Wu army in the north and south of the street pavilion?" Frustrated, he looked at the map on the screen, and his face sank suddenly.

"You're right!"

Ma Chao pointed to the map: "To the north is the Xianbei Army, menacing and very strong in combat, and to the south is the Central Army, known as the First Army of the Wu Army, if you add their Ninth Army, I preliminarily estimate that their strength is close to 200,000!" ”

"The street pavilion is not in danger to defend, just this point of the city wall, the Wu army only needs to use a day or two, it can be directly paved, there is no need to build siege equipment at all, and the strength of the Wu army is far ahead of us, this battle ......" The pupils of the frustration changed a little.

"We haven't lost yet!"

Ma Chao didn't have the slightest frustration, he smiled coldly: "The main force of my Northern Wolf Guard is still there, and there is also the Xiliang Iron Horse as a sharp arrow, if you want to break through, it is not difficult, I am more concerned about Sima Yi now!" ”

"The general thinks that Sima Yi's soldiers and horses were also besieged and killed by the Wu army?"

"Not necessarily, but I guess it's also a good idea, I can't leave her behind, I'm going to spend five days in the street pavilion!" Ma Chao said: "Let's see if he can join us!" ”

"What if you can't?"

"Five days later, break through to the east and retreat to Guanzhong!"

Ma Chao said categorically: "Save your strength!" ”

――――――――――――――――――

Outside the city, the Wu army set up camp.

"Do you know why this commander asked you to collect your troops?"

Although Ju Yi rescued the Ninth Army, he did not have a trace of joy at this moment, his face was gloomy as water, his breath was cold, and his eyes stared coldly at the commanders of the second, third, fourth, and third armies under his command, with a touch of anger on his face.

"Commander, I'm sorry, we were too impulsive!"

Han Gang, Huang Shan, and Zu Dong stood in front of Ju Yi, their faces were ashamed, they lowered their heads, and said in a low voice.

"Impulsive?"

Ju Yi's eyes were like cold blades, swept over, swept the faces of the three people, and the cold breath erupted in vain, as if to freeze the entire camp, and said coldly: "You are not impulsive, this is a blatant disobedience to military orders, Han Gang disobeyed military orders twice, and was unwilling to retreat, Huang Shant disobeyed once, Zu Dong disobeyed once, you all came out, right?" I still think that this commander will not dare to behead Er and others, and use the military law! ”

"We know our mistakes, please punish the commander!"

The three of them trembled and hurriedly knelt down.

"Lu Xun!"

"In!"

"Pull the three of them down, beat each of them with thirty military sticks, and then put me in confinement for reflection, and don't let them out without the order of this commander!"

"Yes!"

Lu Xun took the soldiers to pull the three of them down.

"Commander, you are discouraged!" Xu Shu walked up and gave Ju Yi a cup of tea.

"Yuan Zhi, you look at the casualty statistics of last night's battle, how do you let me be angry!" Ju Yi handed the statistical file to Xu Shu and said: "Before pulling out the camp and going north, I emphasized to them again and again that there are too many recruits in the legion now, and when the war starts, they must be stable and let them adapt to the battlefield, but they forgot all about it when they went to the battlefield!" ”

Ju Yi added sadly and indignantly: "Eight thousand, just after a battle, I actually killed and injured eight thousand of my soldiers, how many more than eight thousand children of my Central Army let them consume, if it weren't for the imminent war, I would have cut down the three of them even if I fought for the punishment of the military aircraft department!" ”

"Commander, in fact, I can't blame them, I have been holding back my grievances for a year, and when I went to the battlefield, I naturally killed the red eye!" Xu Shu personally experienced the battle in Runan and can empathize.

"I understand their feelings!"

Ju Yi said coldly: "But we can't lose the lives of today's soldiers because of the shame of the past, if they died last year, they are martyrs, isn't it their lives that were sacrificed in this battle?" I had already planned to withdraw my troops with three thousand casualties, but they did not retreat one by one, resulting in nearly eight thousand casualties in my legion, and if I hadn't considered their feelings, I would have cut them down myself! ”

"Commander, please rest assured, I will enlighten them well, and I will never let them make trouble again!"

"Now only your words can make them listen!" Ju Yi rubbed his temples and sighed, he was ordered to take charge of the Central Army in danger, and he was always a little lacking in prestige, which is why Sun Quan lent Xu Shu to him.

"Report to the commander, the military law has been enforced, and they have been arranged in three separate confinement camps!" After a while, Lu Xun came back to report.

"Thirty sticks are uncomfortable, didn't hurt them, right? The big war is coming, and I still need them. ”

"I'm keeping my hand!"

"Well done!"

Ju Yi is becoming more and more satisfied with Lu Xun, although this young man is not old, but he is extremely intelligent, and he can often understand that he can't say what he thinks, he knows that if Lu Xun passes the assessment of himself and Xu Shu, he will succeed to the position of chief of staff.

That's a good thing for him.

"Yuan Zhi, Bo Miao, Bo Yan, you all come over and have a look, and then talk about it!" Ju Yi spread out a detailed map of the street pavilion: "How do we fight next?" ”

"Commander, I think the main strategy for this battle is in one word, consumption!" Xu Shu said.

"Consumption?" Ju Yi's eyes lit up: "Consume them? ”

"I agree with Chief of Staff Xu's words!" Deng Zhi groaned for a while and said, "I really want to consume them step by step!" ”

"Hmm!"

Lu Xun also nodded: "If we are too close, and the Northern Wolf Guard always retains the main force, it will be equivalent to forcing the tiger to hurt people, and when the time comes, we will kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, and our casualties will also be doubled, and the most important thing is that there are too many recruits in our Central Legion, and the bloody battle that is too tragic may not be able to hold up!" ”

"Forcing a tiger to hurt someone?"

When Ju Yi heard this, he squinted slightly, a trace of thought flashed in his eyes, and finally decided: "You are right, although they are now in our encirclement, they really can't get too close, so slow down, surround but not fight, but you have to prevent them from breaking through!" ”

"If they want to break through, they must go east!"

"To the east is Chen Cang!"

"I think that if we take Chen Cang first, even if they break through the street pavilion, we can block them in Chen Cang, which will consume their physical strength and combat effectiveness even more, so as to annihilate them at the lowest cost!"

"Who's going to take Chen Cang!"

"I'll go!" Deng Zhi said: "The vitality of the Ninth Army has been greatly damaged, and the frontal battlefield may not be able to help!" ”

"Good!"

Ju Yi nodded: "You rest for two days, and after two days, pull out the camp and go east, occupy Chencang, block their last way of survival, and don't let them enter Guanzhong as much as possible!" ”

"Yes!" Deng Zhi's body was straight, his face was solemn, and he gave his hands to receive his orders. (To be continued.) )
