Chapter 716: Desperate
Thirty miles south of Yewang City, Deng Ai camped.
He had been camped here for several days, and was not in a hurry to march on the Yewang or make contact with the defenders, but sent scouts to scout the surroundings and make contact with the Xia army of the Xia Kingdom, which was camped fifty miles north of the Yewang City.
As a person who carefully read the marching notes of Xu Huang and other famous generals of the Wei State, Deng Ai has a lot of theoretical experience.
Everyone in the Wei State has a motive to deceive Beifu, and Xia Xiang Yang Zheng does not dare to deceive at present, and the people gathered around him are because of his status as a close relative of the Tian family, not himself, or because of his official position.
At present, Beifu has not been defeated, how many dares does Yang Zheng have to lie?
It was not to force Yang Zheng to lead his troops to rebel, but to let him tell him about the information of the surrounding Wei army...... It's a very simple matter, Beifu will also investigate, and it is difficult to implicate Yang Zheng himself whether it is leaked or not.
Now the western half of Hanoi County, the area south of Zhongtiao Mountain, and the north bank of the Yellow River south of Shouyang Mountain have been abandoned by the Wei army.
This means that this deserted narrow strip of land is not defended by the Beifu soldiers on the south bank, and can herd horses and hunt here; It also means that if the Wei army makes a move against the Xia Kingdom, the Beifu soldiers can also be reinforced in this way, just like now Deng Ai led his troops to Yewang to meet the Han army trapped here.
Therefore, Yang Zheng and Xia Guoguo's confidence is very full, and there is such a bad thing as expelling the emperor in Yedu, and Yang Zheng naturally has the confidence to despise Yedu. If Ye Du dared to make a move, they dared to resist.
There is no hurry to resist and change banners, but the time has not yet come, and this semi-divided state is more comfortable and comfortable.
The total number of Wei troops stationed around Yewang is more than 10,000 people, of which the size of the Xia army is about 3,000, accounting for a quarter of the total strength of the Wei army, which is on par with Qin Lang's Xiao cavalry army.
In this case, does the Wei army dare to stop it?
Naturally, they dare not stop it.
Deng Ai observed the map and concluded that the biggest task difficulty from the very beginning of this response was not to obstruct the enemy, but to persuade Ma Liang and Tian Yu to lead the neck and kill them.
returned to China in vain in this way, and returned to China in disgrace, Ma Liang and these people definitely did not end well.
Now there is still room for counterattack and struggle, if the troops are withdrawn, it will really be like a carp out of the water, and if the carp fights again, it will dry up and die.
Ma Liang and Tian Yu still have other ways to survive, such as raising troops to join Wei, with Wei's current weak position, they will definitely regard Ma Liang's submission as a clarion call and symbol of 'strategic counteroffensive'.
The high-ranking officials are by no means false, and the generals of Jiabai, the three divisions of the Kaifu Yitong, and the townsmen of 2,000 households in the food are the basic values of Ma Liang's current investment in Wei.
Or if Ma Liang nails in Yewang and does not leave, with the current situation, the Wei army will not be able to attack and destroy the Han army in Yewang City in the short term.
As long as it is held for a few more months, it will naturally be able to wait for the army from other sides to respond, and it will even promote and trigger the pattern of the Kwantung Han army attacking Luoyang. At that time, Ma Liang withdrew again, and if he didn't mention the merits and demerits, how could he save his life.
Even if the grain is eaten up, the officials will lose more than half...... Escaping back to China with such a tragic image can also save many evaluations, and there is room to save his life.
If the defeated general doesn't want to go back and have his head cut off, he will stab himself a few times when he returns...... That's probably the way it goes.
Therefore, Beifu wants good people to do it to the end, and bring back this besieged defeated army as soon as possible.
Deng Ai stared at the map, the only thing the Wei army needed to worry about was the Xiao cavalry army, and the other Wei troops dared to block it, and they were not their opponents at all.
Under the command of the Han Dynasty is mainly cavalry, but when changing clothes in Tongguan, what he got was the Beifu standard armor, which was a standard light cavalry, and the armor of the light cavalry corresponded to the heavy infantry, and there were seven hundred heavy knights equivalent to the super-heavy infantry.
The heavily armed knights also have the equally elite and daring knights of the servants,
You must know that when a cavalry army marches, at worst, one person must be equipped with two horses, and Deng Ai, a pure cavalry unit, has an astonishing ratio of men to three. In addition to carrying the rations of knights and war horses, other riding horses and pack horses were eaten by grazing.
With the current scale of the cavalry, it can definitely make Ma Liang, Tian Yu, Zhang Fei, and Wei Yan cry.
The large number of horses with the army means that the consumption of fodder is large, and the military camp cannot be concentrated, so it is necessary to disperse the camp and make it as convenient as possible for the horses to eat grass with the army.
As for the noble war horses, they naturally eat good feed in the camp.
In terms of the configuration of the army, they cannot afford to delay it, so they must evacuate before they eat up the grass within the control of the barracks.
So you have to get in touch with Qin Lang first, Qin Lang definitely doesn't want to fight with him, it's not good for Qin Lang to call back and forth; Cao Zhen estimated that he was not willing to fight, if Qin Lang's cavalry army was defeated during the battle, then the entire west of Taihang Mountain would have the possibility of disintegration and fragmentation.
Cao Zhen couldn't afford to gamble, and Luoyang and Yedu did not send him new troops and no reserves...... Even if Cao Zhen wanted to fight, he didn't dare to fight.
After all, this is the general of Wei, the commander-in-chief of the front line, and there are many eyes and ears around him, and he has to take care of his face and the majesty of the country, and he has to contact Cao Zhen, which is not conducive to communication.
Qin Lang is simple, this person's biggest idea at the moment should be to keep the army in his hand, not anything else.
Therefore, you can communicate with Qin Lang, but you also have to guard against Qin Lang's fraud, and give yourself the plan to deceive Tian Yu again, and it is best to let Qin Lang hand over important hostages. Getting Qin Lang's hostage is the next room for cooperation.
Qin Lang is willing to cooperate here, and the biggest problem is how to let Ma Liang and Tian Yu take the initiative to break through and follow him.
If you go back, you will be unlucky, and if you stick to it, there may be a turnaround.
Therefore, Ma Liang and Tian Yu cannot be given the opportunity to call the shots, and they must be forced to break through...... The only way to do that was to agitate the five battalions of Nanzhong soldiers under Ma Liang's command.
Fortunately, there are a few military officials around him who understand Nanzhongyi, and they can shout under the city, and directly shout and convey the news of their return to ordinary soldiers, so that their hearts are like arrows and their fighting spirit collapses.
Na Ma Liang and Tian Yu's plan to deceive and intimidate the soldiers of Nanzhong to resist or desperately can only go bankrupt; What awaits them is to be coerced by the soldiers, returned, tried, and beheaded.
The plan in his heart was finalized, Deng Ai was ready to implement it, his eyes looked around, and fell to a military official from Nanzhong: "An An ......"
"I'm here."
An Xiuhu, who is short and dark-faced and has a fierce face, is the same as Deng Ai, his accent is not very standard, Beifu is a mixed collective, although there are many people in Guanzhong, but too many people were added later, almost including all states and counties.
An Xiuhu was in the prime of life, enlisted as a teenager, and was one of the members of the Suo soldiers sent by Liu Zhang to Jingzhou to express loyalty to Cao Cao.
Later, this army was captured by LΓΌ Meng and Gan Ning, and continued to be led by Li Yitong; During the decisive battle of Maicheng, Li Yi was beheaded by Tian Xin, and many soldiers became prisoners, and An Xiuhu joined Tian Xin's command when he was in Maicheng.
Up to now, he is already Major Qu Chang, because Ma Liang's command is a soldier in Nanzhongyi, An Xiuhu has been recommended by Wang Ping and has become a military officer in Deng Ai's army.
Deng Ai instructed: "Take my general's order, teach the officers in the army, teach the language, and say that Gong Chen ordered me to wait, come to meet the officials of Nanzhong, and return home." Within two days, all battalions of the whole army could shout in unison. If not, military law will be conducted. β
As he spoke, he took out a general order: "Wish? β
"May there be a military order!"
An Xiuhu was overjoyed when he heard this, and it was just a simple sentence, and the entire Han Dynasty was actively learning Chinese, and is currently learning a few sentences of Nanzhong Chinese...... Acceptance will be fast.
Besides, there are no other officials from Nanzhong in the army, who will judge whether they teach well or not?
