Deng Cui's combat style is one word - fast, there is no advance arrangement, and he does not send scouts to the front to inquire about the situation, he takes the lead, and he will go wherever he says. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When attacking the first city, the other party did not even have time to close the city gates, and the soldiers and the people watched a strange army break in, and without saying a word, they immediately surrendered.

The gods and ghosts did not trust the foreigners, and every time they captured a city, they would inevitably kill or recruit most of the middle-aged men, and then send their own people to lead soldiers from other places to guard them.

At least more than 1,000 miles away from home, the language and customs are not the same, the soldiers defending the city are always nervous, full of vigilance against the local natives, and basically will not collude with each other, but the number is too small, the fighting spirit is completely absent, and it is more than enough to deal with the people.

Deng Cui never stayed in a city for a long time, at most for three days, at least one day, usually killing the gods and ghosts Da Dan Yu appointed the city guards, and appointing local nobles, and then collecting some grain, grass, horses, and taking the soldiers who defended the city, claiming to send them home, in fact, they were incorporated into the army.

After leaving the city, Deng Cui said that he would continue to advance westward, and he might suddenly change direction at any time and attack the next unguarded city.

General Guan Song has known Deng Cui for a long time, but he has never accepted his command, the first time he followed, he went deep into the enemy area, and went farther and farther, he couldn't help but be frightened, and the Chu soldiers in the army were also terrified, but there was no way, they didn't even know the way home, so they could only follow Deng Cui all the way.

Deng Cui knew the way, he had traveled in this area long before the war, and when he set out on his first expedition, he had visited many places and collected a large number of maps, but he did not keep any of them, and all the directions and locations were hidden in his heart.

About a month later, the Chu army captured Shenye City, which was also the first big city, and the other party had already prepared, closed the city gates, prepared to defend to the death, and mobilized soldiers from the surrounding cities to fight a decisive battle with the Chu army.

Deng Cui never fought a decisive battle, thinking that it would waste the few troops under his command, so he surrounded it for a long time, whistling and whistling away, and then sent a small group of soldiers who had surrendered before, pretending to be reinforcements to enter Shenye City, and started at midnight to open the city gate for the Chu army that went and returned.

After capturing the city, Deng Cui immediately semi-closed the city gate, no one was allowed to go out, for three consecutive days, welcomed in batches of enemy reinforcements, all of them were detained, and then killed dozens of gods and ghosts in public Shan Yu's fellow people, hung their heads on the city gates, announcing that the city had been owned by Da Chu, and the new city defender should be called the county guard.

In Shenye City, the Chu army unexpectedly rescued several Chu people.

The imperial prince Han Xi sent an envoy to the extreme west a few years ago and was imprisoned in Shenye City, and the reason why he was not killed was only because the gods and ghosts were busy with the war, and they didn't expect these people for a while.

Although he was imprisoned, Han Xi's life was not too bad, he had an independent residence, servants to serve, and even married a local wife.

But he did not forget his mission, and after seeing Deng Cui, he immediately asked, "What is the general's plan?" ”

"Well, go to the beach."

Han Xi chatted for a while, and finally understood that Deng Cui had no clear plan at all, and further west, Deng Cui didn't know the way, and planned to go all the way south, thinking that he could always reach the sea.

So Han Xi provided a plan, "The gods and ghosts have three capitals, one is in the northwest, which is his hometown, heavily guarded, with few generals and soldiers, and it is not beneficial to go there, and the location is remote, so it is useless to occupy it." The second one is located in the west, more than 3,000 miles away from here, it is a thousand-year-old city, and the hegemony of the gods and ghosts is laid there, if it is captured, it will surely shake the Quartet. The third one is located in the southwest, by the sea, and was originally a large port, and the gods and ghosts ordered the destruction of ships, and it became a stronghold, and there were many garrisons. ”

"Go southwest." As soon as Deng Cui heard about the sea, he became interested.

"The road to go there is the farthest, even if you are lucky enough to occupy it, you can't shake the foundation of the gods and ghosts."

"Have you ever played a game of kicking a tree?"

Han Xi was stunned, "What does the general mean?" ”

"It's when it's raining or snowing, and you see someone standing under a tree, and you sneak over and kick it, and scare that person, it's fun."

Han Xi opened his mouth and stammered, still not understanding what Deng Cui meant.

Deng Cui didn't explain much, and patted him on the shoulder, "Since you know the way, come with me, let's talk in detail on the road." ”

Deng Cui led the army to continue to rush left and right, one to the west, the other to the south, so that neither the enemy nor us could guess his ultimate goal, only knowing that either the west is the south.

The west was shaken, and the enemy finally gathered an army of tens of thousands, claimed to be 200,000, to intercept the Chu army on the road to the west and south, and to fight to the death.

At this time, Deng Cui's command had also gathered tens of thousands of soldiers, known as 100,000, to make a decisive battle, but at the last moment they turned around and rushed to the hometown of the god and ghost Da Dan Yu from a distance.

Halfway through, Deng Cui explained his plan to Han Xi, "Our army is small and scattered, and it will be defeated if it is defeated, so we can't fight." You said that the ghost hometown is heavily guarded, and I guess this heavy army must have already gone south to support other cities, so let's go around it, just to fight the void. ”

"General guess?"

"Isn't this kind of thing like a war just you guess me and I guess you? The soldier is not tired of cheating, the one who guesses correctly wins, and the one who guesses wrong is finished. Thousands of Chu troops went deep into enemy territory, what else could they do except kick down some rain and snowflakes? If you want to do it, you have to be ruthless, you have to scare the gods and ghosts, and then we can go back to Dachu to ask Your Majesty for credit. ”

In front of Deng Cui, Han Xi and the others were only dumbfounded.

"Alas, I don't know if my sister gave birth to a prince, and I still expect my nephew to be the emperor in the future."

The soldiers were nervous, but they had no choice but to follow General Deng at a gallop.

really let Deng Cui guess correctly.

The Chu army has always been accustomed to the strategy of attacking the east and the west, and the enemy army has long been accustomed to it, and when they found that the Chu army was heading north, they still thought it was a plan to lure the enemy, so they did not go all out to catch up, and the heavy troops who stayed in their hometown also went south according to the original plan, preparing to surround the Chu army, and then recapture the lost territory.

The two armies going north and south passed by, and they were only a few dozen miles apart recently, but they didn't know each other, Deng Cui still didn't send scouts to find out the news in advance, and only believed his "guess".

"When the cities are shaken, normal people will send heavy troops to suppress it, so we will respond in an abnormal way." Deng Cui occasionally gave a few more explanations, but he couldn't make the soldiers under his command feel at ease.

In the end, what made everyone happy and convinced of Deng Cui was a big victory.

The Chu army captured the hometown of the god and ghost Da Dan Yu, set fire to everything that could be burned, the soldiers of all countries in the army have been oppressed for a long time, and the hatred is very deep, after getting the acquiescence of the Chu army, they carried out many massacres, and killed and injured the people who left behind the god and ghost Da Dan Yu.

Only a handful survived.

Deng Cui left a beautiful girl, although this woman did not have a noble name, it is rumored that she was the favorite person of the gods and ghosts, because of the occasional cold, she did not go to the east with the army, and fell into the hands of the Chu generals.

On the day he brought Mei Ji into the army, Han Xi made a special trip to persuade him.

Deng Cui said with a smile: "Follow the customs of the villagers, every time you take a city, you will marry the daughter of a local nobleman, so this woman is not a local, but also a poor person who was robbed." And didn't Lord Han also marry a local woman? Whoever you fancy in the city, you can leave. ”

Han Xi couldn't persuade Deng Cui, but he didn't ask for any beauties, and urged the Chu army not to participate in the massacre and robbery, as for the soldiers of other countries, he couldn't control it, and he didn't want to care.

Although the army did not fight a tough battle, the harvest was extremely rich, and the shock to the western cities was even more incomparable, and rebellions broke out one after another, expelling outsiders one after another to respond to the Chu army.

Deng Cui led the army south again, and met an enemy army by a large river with a very long name, at this time the strength of the two sides was almost the same, he did not avoid the battle again, let Guan Song arrange the troops, and really wanted to fight a tough battle.

When it came to the battlefield, Deng Cui was not surprising, it all depended on the skills of the soldiers under his command, needless to say, if the Chu army was defeated, they would not even have a place to flee, and the soldiers of other countries had just slaughtered the clansmen of the gods and ghosts, and seized a large number of beauties and treasures, and there was also no way back.

The battle lasted a full day, and by night the enemy forces were routed.

Deng Cui didn't even go into battle to supervise the battle, hiding in the tent to learn her native language from Mei Ji, and when the news of the victory came, he only replied "I know", and still refused to come out to meet the generals.

Deng Cui is such a person, the soldiers under his command have doubts about his ability, but they are in awe, thinking that he is the pride of the sky, and what others have worked hard to get, he can bend down to pick it up, and sometimes he doesn't like to choose.

But the good fortune of the "pride of the sky" also runs out.

What happened next was a mystery that will remain in the minds of many people years later.

General Deng Cui was assassinated.

No one knows why, when Mei Ji was taken away, she didn't show rejection or disgust, she seemed to be a little happy, and she was like glue with Deng Cui along the way, but on the night of the big victory, she killed the person next to her.

No one knew what had happened, and the next morning, the soldiers came to invite Deng Cui, but they didn't get a response several times, and finally felt that something was wrong, and broke into the tent, only to see Deng Cui lying in a pool of blood, naked, and dyed red.

Miki held the dagger and shivered on the side.

The angry soldiers chopped Mei Ji into meat on the spot, but they were still not at ease, and killed all the women captured in the camp, leaving no one behind.

Later, some people questioned whether the person who killed General Deng was Mei Ji? Maybe she was just frightened, and the killer was someone else.

The soldiers in the army immediately became suspicious of each other.

The good situation is gone, Han Xi is the imperial prince, became the commander of the Chu army, after careful consideration, he felt that he did not have the ability to lead everyone, let alone the ability to go all the way south, after discussing with the soldiers of the Chu army, he decided to retreat to the Great Chu, and declared to the outside world that he was going to the east.

The soldiers of the various countries were divided into multiple armies, each with their own ideas, but without exception they all carried the banner of Da Chu and Deng Cui.

Deng Cui's heart was taken out and taken away by the Chu army, and his body was handed over to an alien army, who had to go all the way south to fulfill General Deng's wish to see the sea.

Han Xi is a literati, he must remember everything he encounters on the way, and intends to present it to the emperor after returning to China, but when it comes to the general Deng Cui, he can't describe it, he lifted the pen several times, put it down a few times, until he entered the tiger city, after a little peace, he finally wrote down a few words:

General Deng, very human. (To be continued.) )
