The Three Kingdoms

"Let's talk about the battle damage ratio of the Jieting battle first!"

Zhuge Liang's eyes swept over, and he spoke.

"promise!"

Lu Xun, who was in charge of recording the battle damage and results, stood up, spread out a record file, and said: "The battle at Jieting lasted for three days and eight hours. Nearly 15, and our army gathered the Central Army, the Zhanxiang Army, the Bashu Army, and the Xianbei Army, with a strength of more than 30. We opened the battlefield on the northeast and south sides, and attacked the vanguard, main force, and rear troops of the Wei Army. The casualties are nearly [-] soldiers, and the battle damage of our army is [-]!"

The strategy of this battle was actually very successful. Wu Jun used see-saw harassment attacks, let go of the vanguard, and continued to attack the main force in a small area, greatly reducing his casualties.

If it weren't for the support of Pang De and Zhang Lu on the periphery of the Wei army, their casualties would have been even greater, and the casualties of the Wu army would have been much less.

At least Zhuge Liang's goal was achieved.

However, the information on the battlefield was ever-changing. Because of the strength of Pang De and Zhang Lu, the victory of this battle was on the brink of failure, and the main force of the Wei army was still preserved.

"That is to say, after they gathered Pang De Zhang Lu's troops, there are at least [-] main forces of the Wei army in the city?"

The hearts of the generals sank, and their faces became serious.

This wave of Wei army troops can still pose a great threat to their main force. If they can contact Chang'an at this time and let Chang'an send reinforcements, it is estimated that there will be no problem in defending Chencang.

"What's going on in Chencang City now?" Zhuge Liang asked in a deep voice.

"Report to Commander Zhuge, the city is very quiet!"

Liao Hao, the commander of Jin Yiwei's dark guards and the chief intelligence officer of the Xiliang War, stood up and reported, "Their troops are currently resting. Sima Yi, Zhang Lu, Ma Chao Pound and several troops are doing fusion training!"

"Fusion training?"

When Pang Tong heard this, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly, and his smile turned cold: "It seems that they want to twist these scattered soldiers and horses into a ball, and then fight us to the end?"

"This is normal. If their forces have to be twisted together, how can they fight our army!"

Zhuge Liang was not surprised, his eyes flicked across a bright light, and he said in a deep voice: "They are preparing for the battle now, which has already demonstrated their determination. They are planning to head-on with our main force and have a decisive battle!"

There is no avoidance, only a war.

"decisive battle?"

Hearing this, the generals became more energetic.

"Then fight!"

"With three times as many soldiers and horses against each other, if we still can't win, then we really have no face to face His Majesty!"

"Head to head, head to head, we can afford this battle!"

All the generals looked at each other, and you said something, and I said something, which brought the atmosphere of fighting spirit to the peak.

"Xu Shu, Fazheng, I asked you to contact Bashu, did you get in touch, can the logistics be guaranteed?"

Zhuge Liang stretched out his hand, suppressed everyone's voices, looked at Xu Shu and Fazheng, and asked.

This was the first problem Zhuge Liang had to face before the decisive battle.

Not only is Wei Jun facing food shortages, but Wu Jun is also facing this problem.

Wu Jun's hundreds of thousands of soldiers eat and drink, and now the battle line is getting longer and longer, which is a big problem for logistics. Even with the full support of the country, it is also a trouble to ensure the logistics of the army.

"Commander Zhuge, Zhuge Jin has already figured out a solution?"

Xu Shu said in a deep voice: "We have some supplies. The logistics department has already transported them to Bashu, but it will take time to get up from Bashu. Zhuge Jin has already mobilized many young and strong people to transport food northward. A batch of food and grass has been brought up, which is enough for us to support us for a few days!"

"Deng Zhi!" Zhuge Liang thought for a while, and his eyes fell on the Chief of Staff of the Ninth Army.

"exist!"

"Before and after this battle, the Ninth Army experienced bloody battles in Jieting, offensive and defensive battles in Chencang, and the strength of the three divisions suffered repeated losses. Although their vitality was still there, the casualties were too heavy. They withdrew from this battle and immediately pulled out their camps and rushed to the The rear is responsible for logistics and transportation, and logistics support must be guaranteed!"

Zhuge Liang said firmly.

"promise!"

Deng Zhi took a deep breath and took the order to leave.

"Pang Tong, where are the troops led by Huang Zhong?" Zhuge Liang thought of another reinforcement.

"Report to Commander Zhuge, after Commander Huang Zhong led his troops into the Northland, he suddenly turned his troops to the east and had already entered the east of the river. He had no intention of going south!"

"Hedong? It is also a good thing that he entered Hedong!"

Zhuge Liangliang nodded: "Going south for reinforcements is just icing on the cake. Entering Hedong instead forced the Wei Dynasty to become tense. As far as I know, the Wei army in Hedong was the Yellow Turban Army back then. The leader was Zhang Baiqi, who suppressed his troops. In other words, Sima Yi and the others will no longer have any reinforcements!"

"Without reinforcements, if there is no escape, then they may be desperate!"

The hearts of the generals sank. They are all leaders. If the environment is changed, they will be surrounded. They happen to have heavy soldiers in their hands and have nowhere to go. They must fight desperately and fight to the end.

"This battle has come to this point, everyone must work hard!"

Zhuge Liang stood up, his eyes became extremely sharp: "We have to fight too. Annihilating them is equivalent to breaking the backbone of the Wei Dynasty. They have no choice, but we have no choice either. This battle must be won!"

"Must win!"

The expressions of the generals became more firm and confident.

------------------

In Chencang city.

A barracks was temporarily built.

In a tent, Sima Yi, Ma Chao, Pang De, Jushou, Zhang Lu, and the five major generals sat side by side. At this moment, they did not have the slightest sign of joy to escape from the street pavilion. A little struggle.

Under the confluence of the four Wei soldiers, although they suffered a lot of casualties in the breakout battle at Jieting, the Wei army's soldiers and horses are now more prosperous than they were at Jieting.

But their current situation is even more dangerous.

"Everyone, although we escaped from Jieting, we suffered tens of thousands of casualties in this battle!"

Sima Yi glanced over and sighed: "We can't be beaten down by Wu Jun leading the nose like this. If we continue like this, there will still be a battle line of hundreds of miles along the way. Even if we escape all the way back to Guanzhong, we will still be left behind." How many soldiers and horses?"

"Someone understands the truth, but Sima Yi, Wu's soldiers and horses now surpass us by several times, their momentum is turbulent, and their morale is like a rainbow, while our soldiers, fleeing all the way back, suffered heavy casualties and lost their fighting morale, how can we win? "

Ma Chao's face was hard, his fists were clenched, and his breath was cold.

It's not that he doesn't want to fight, it's that he can't fight now. The casualties of the Xiliang iron cavalry almost hurt the vitality of the Northern Wolf Guard. If the fight continues, the Northern Wolf Guard will be exhausted.

"General Ma, if we don't fight, can we escape?"
