Chapter 104: Jiangyou in Front (2)
(In the previous chapter, you should read it clearly.) Deng Ai is not jumping, but rolling...... οΌ
On October 27, 263 AD, Deng Ai, the general of Cao Wei's expedition to the west, rolled down from Shumaling. The officers and men of the whole army felt the courage of the commander and bravely tumbled down the cliff by various methods. In the end, the number of people in the whole army was counted, and of the more than 17,000 people in the front army, only more than 300 people were killed and more than 2,000 were injured.
This is actually because Deng Aijun does not know the road on the one hand, and on the other hand, the food is urgent. After seeing Jiangyou City from afar, he took the most radical method - jumping off the cliff directly. In the military geography research of later generations, later generations found that in fact, Deng Aijun at this time, as long as he crossed the Shuma Ridge, climbed another peak, and then went down to the valley, he could walk out of this lofty mountain and come to the foot of Jiangyou City.
However, sometimes it is really difficult to tell. If Deng Aijun hadn't been in such a hurry to arrive at Jiangyou, but had a little patience and slowly looked for a passable roadβat the exit of the canyon, Dong Ming had already sent two thousand troops to block the exitβthe exit was blocked with a fast-built fortress! And Deng Ai's leap has actually left Dong Ming's main force behind.
But then again, although Deng Ai bypassed the defense line of the Shu Han army. But after such a jump, all the people came down, but all the horses and heavy equipment were left on the mountain - this is also the origin of this mountain range in later generations called Shuma Ridge.
"General, now that our army has completed its formation, according to the figures reported by the captains, there are about 14,000 people in the whole army who can move."
"General, only people have come down from the front of our army. The brothers who left the mountain with ordnance are throwing it at us. It is expected to be accepted in two hours. β
"General, the horses of our army cannot go down the mountain, and the brothers who remained on the mountain ridge are looking for a new way down the mountain......
Rubbing the two bruises on his body that hurt the most, Deng Ai said to Shi Shu, "Sima, what time is it now?" β
"Well, look at the angle of the daylight. This is about unitary time. β
"Hmm~~~" Deng Ai touched his beard and thought for a while, then shouted: "Herald!" β
"I'll wait for the general's orders!"
"Order Wang Taishou to lead 2,000 soldiers and horses from his headquarters, and go out five miles to open the guard. The Shu people who enter this range, if they are not accompanied by their own officers and soldiers, will be killed! β
"Whoa!"
"Order the scout team to go twenty miles forward, catch a few local natives and come back, and find out the truth of Jiangyou City as soon as possible!"
"Whoa!"
"Order the troops left behind on the mountain to immediately throw dry rations down the mountain that do not need to be cooked. The whole army eats after an hour, and it is strictly forbidden to light a fire. Those who dare to disobey the order will be killed! β
"Whoa!"
"Order the lieutenants of all armies to gather their troops as best they can, and immediately put on their armor. Two hours later, the whole army ran towards Jiangyou! β
"Whoa!"
Looking at the heralds who got up and left, Shi Su frowned: "Zhengxi, is this going to attack Jiangyou at night?" β
"Yes, our army has temporarily lost all its baggage and grain and grass, and it still has the strength to fight tonight, if you can't take Jiangyou tonight, hehe......"
"But now Jiangyou's virtual and real ......"
"Didn't I send someone out to scratch my tongue? Strategy or something, think about it on the road! Anyway, there are still dozens of miles ahead, enough for me to think slowly. β
Two hours later. The time cameβeleven o'clock in the evening. In such an age, in such a season. At this hour, there was really no light at all, except for the moonlight and the stars.
ββ¦β¦ If there are too many, I will not say it anymore. Now the whole army lit one torch for every 100 men. The person in the back clings to the belt of the person in front. Push forward! Our army must take Jiangyou tonight to have a glimmer of life, otherwise the whole army will be annihilated! Ben will run first, and the whole army will follow! β
"I'm going to follow the general to the death! Ooh~~~!!! β
At the same time, Dong Ming, who was sitting in Jiangyou City, felt irritable in his heart for no reason at the moment.
For the ancients, this point already belongs to the category of the three watches. It's very late. Even if Dong Gongzi used to spend time drinking on CDs before, he was used to going to bed late. But at this time, I usually fell asleep. But tonight, Dong Ming couldn't sleep over and over again.
"Someone's coming!"
"What do you command?"
"Well, there is no news from the troops sent by our army to block the valley mouth today, right?"
"As of now, my subordinates have not received any news."
"Well, what about that Ma Miao?"
"Our army's commander has been watching very closely, and he has not found anything abnormal."
"Well, okay. Go down. Tell Si Wenling's brother that he must keep an eye on Ma Miao with all his might, and there must be no omission! β
"Whoa! Please rest assured. β
There was no word all night, and the time came to the hour (seven o'clock in the morning). Deng Ai's army had been running all night in the dark. And Dong Ming was already asleep after tossing and turning.
Jiangyou's actual time zone is the East 7th District, and its morning sun is seen about an hour later than Beijing's. This is the end of October in the lunar calendar, and the winter solstice is about to beβthe longest night and shortest day of the year. Therefore, although it was already the hour at this time, Jiangyou City was still shrouded in the deepest darkness before dawn at this time.
"General, our army is about to arrive in Jiangyou City! Now it is at most one mile away from the city wall of Jiangyou West Gate! β
"Good! Huh~~~Huh~~~ How is the enemy's defense in the city now? β
"The subordinates didn't dare to get too close, and they didn't know how many defenders there were in the city. However, his subordinates observed that on the west gate of Jiangyou City, there were only two dead wind lanterns. His subordinates risked their lives and approached the city wall at a distance of about ten zhang (231 meters). No one was heard on the walls. β
"Whew~~~ good! Is the ground outside the west gate of Jiangyou open, and can our army deploy? β
"No problem!"
"How high are the walls of Jiangyou?"
"No more than two feet two (within five meters)!"
"Good! Herald! Our army changed the one-line column to a horizontal column, with at least 1,000 people in each horizontal line. The soldiers in the first row, each carrying a zipline, sprinted to the bottom of the city, immediately threw the zipline to the city, and then the whole army quickly climbed the rope! β
In response to Deng Ai's order, there was a neat low roar: "Oh! β
At two o'clock, when a line of fish belly white began to appear in the eastern sky of Jiangyou City, Deng Ai's army began to launch a decisive charge against Jiangyou!
"Childe! Son! Big things are wrong! Childe, Childe wake up! β
"Hmm, ah~~~huh~~~huh? What's wrong? β
Wei ...... Wei Jun...... Entered the ....... entered the city. β
"Huh?! How is this possible? Didn't you say that there was no news from the troops blocking the gorge? β
"My subordinates don't know about this."
"This, could it be that the army of the pseudo-Wei flew down from the sky?"
"Childe, now is not the time to talk about this. While the army in front is still resisting, Childe should quickly escape from the east of the city! β
Speaking of this, Dong Ming calmed down instead.
"Hehe, it's good that my father was left on the CD by Zhuge Siyuan, otherwise my father and son would have been trapped here today."
"Childe! It's still too late to go! β
"Hehehe, this son was hollowed out by wine in the CD. Can't ride a horse at all. How do you escape now? Are you walking on my back? Go, call my Dong family's home. I want a herald! β
Taking advantage of the fact that the servants went out to call people, Dong Ming trembled and found a note from his coat, looking at the note, Dong Ming smiled miserably: "Guan Madman, the grievances between this son and you, only the next life will fight again." Until then, I'll do a little more according to your plan. β
The generals of the Dong family came in, Dong Ming stared at them majestically, and then began to give orders to the note: "First, Dong Yi, you personally lead the team, throw people and set fire to the arsenal and grain depot!" β
"Whoa!"
"Second, Dong Qi, go to the pigeon loft immediately, and ask the people in the pigeon loft to send a message to Fucheng and CD, saying that Jiangyou is lost. Enemy...... Hey, I don't know what the enemy's commander and strength are. Let's just say that Deng Ai led the army, and the number of troops is not clear! β
"Whoa!"
"Well, add that when the pigeon loft is released, he immediately kills all the people in the loft and burns the loft. This new method of communication of our army cannot be known by the pseudo-Wei! β
"Whoa!"
"Third, Dong Jiu Dong Eleven, in order to prevent accidents with carrier pigeons. Immediately go out of the city from the east of the city and report to Fucheng and CD respectively! β
Dong Jiu and Dong Shiyi looked at each other, and then asked suspiciously, "Then the young master, you?" β
"Bastard! Ben Gongzi guarded the city on behalf of his father, and as a result, there was such a big basket, where would he still have the face to see his father and His Majesty. Besides, you still don't know the body of this son? Running on horseback? I can't run ten miles and I'm tired to death! Instead of carrying the charge of escaping, it is better to stay here and be a little bit of integrity! Well, if you are still the head of the house, hurry up and do what you have to do! β
"Uh...... Here! Take care! β
