Looking at the Wei army outside the city, which was arraying and preparing for the attack, Wei Ba was a little surprised for a while, and then understood the origin of Deng Zhi's anger before. The Wei army outside the city was only five or six thousand men at best, and of such a size, it could only be the vanguard, who was responsible for finding out the news, clearing the roads, preparing the camping site, and making corresponding preparations for the arrival of the main force, but it was absolutely impossible for them to attack the city.

But General Wei did this for two reasons: either the other party's generals were too stupid, or the other party thought Deng Zhi was too weak.

Regardless of whether the other party's generals are stupid or not, it is estimated that Deng Zhi must think that it is the latter reason.

So he was furious.

Wei Ba was both happy and a little worried about Deng Zhi's anger. Happily, when he is angry, he will go all out and fight for his honor. The worry is that he is overexerting force, but it is not beautiful. As far as he is concerned, he doesn't believe that Sima Yi will send such a stupid general, Hu Zun is just that, Jin Dongliu knows that that person will never make such a low-level mistake, he would rather believe that they want to deliberately provoke Deng Zhi.

He peeked at Deng Zhi, Deng Zhi clenched his hands into fists, propped himself up on the city wall, leaned forward, his cheeks were bitten tightly, and his eyes seemed to be about to erupt fire. However, he didn't shout, just looked at the formation of the Wei army outside the city.

Wei Ba followed his gaze and saw a horse rushing out of the Wei army camp and heading straight for the city gate. Wei Ba suddenly became excited. In my previous life, I listened to the commentary, and the most heard was the general's heads-up, and after I got here, I realized that this kind of thing was a stupid hat at all, if a fierce general could conquer the world, how could Guan Yu go to Maicheng. The myth is shattered, but there is an indescribable loss, I didn't expect to have the opportunity to see this scene today.

But he was soon disappointed again, the other party was not here to fight alone, but to go down to Zuihou to spy on him. It has been said a lot, but the meaning is very simple: surrender, or you will be destroyed. Yunyun.

Wei Ba saw the corner of Deng Zhi's eyes twitch, knowing that he was already extremely angry, and he couldn't help but feel a little unworthy of him. To be bullied to this extent is a clay figure. It's got to be a little rustic, too. However, don't look at the six thousand or seven people in the city, it is more than enough to defend the city. Going out of the city and standing with the Wei army is really not an advantage.

"General, do you want to send someone to shoot him?" Wei Ba was worried that Deng Zhi would have a cerebral hemorrhage and asked with concern.

"No, you don't." Deng Zhi's temples were still pounding, but a smile appeared on his face, although it looked a little hideous. "If you miss, you will be laughed at by him. This little trick of scolding. Don't look at it. ”

Wei Ba nodded again and again, and praised half-truthfully: "It's still the general who is calm, and if you change someone, you will probably fall for the other party's method of agitation." ”

Deng Zhi glanced at Wei Ba meaningfully, probably hearing Wei Ba's reminder. He stroked his beard. I thought about it. "It seems that some people don't take me Deng Zhi seriously, which is a good thing. Ziyu, you take your people to watch the battle from behind, and you can't come forward without my order. ”

Wei Ba raised his eyebrows: "General? ”

"Underestimating the enemy is a taboo for soldiers. Since the other party doesn't take me seriously, of course I have to make good use of it. Deng Zhi turned his head and looked at the mountains in the east: "If you can eat Sima Yi's vanguard before his army arrives, it will be of great benefit to the next battle." ”

Wei Ba understood, and the jaw head agreed.

Deng Zhi immediately ordered the city defense to be adjusted. The people under the city scolded for a long time, but they didn't even hear a response, and they became more and more arrogant, and even rushed to the moat and entered the range of the bow and crossbow. Deng Zhi turned a deaf ear to this, but the soldiers in the city couldn't hold it back. They were originally Zhao Yun's subordinates, and they were assigned to Deng Zhi, an old man who had never led soldiers, and they were originally a little unhappy, but now seeing Deng Zhi being scolded like this, they didn't even fight back, and they were as soft as a dough, they were even more angry, and they stepped forward to ask for battle, patting their chests and saying that they were going out of the city to behead the birdman, and vented their anger for the general.

Deng Zhi vetoed them all, and even issued an order: Anyone who dares to shoot an arrow outside the city will be killed!

At this order, the Shu Han army was discouraged, and the Wei army outside the city was even more arrogant. The knight pointed at the sky and scolded dryly, and then retreated to his own position. Seeing this scene, the morale of the Wei army was high, and the mountain shouted long live. Amid the cheers, three hundred crossbowmen rushed to the moat, took up their formation, fired in unison to suppress the city, and covered their companions to push the trench carts to the moat.

Seeing that the other party was preparing to fill the trench, the city was no longer silent, and the crossbowmen began to fire blocking. Deng Zhi ordered that all the strong crossbows above four stones were put away, so that the power of the arrows shot was greatly weakened, and when the arrows reached the moat, some of them had begun to float, and the threat to the Wei army was really limited, but it made the Wei army happy.

In the midst of laughter, the Wei army easily erected a pontoon bridge over the moat. Immediately afterwards, the war drums sounded, and a team of Wei soldiers pushed siege vehicles, shouted neat trumpets, and approached the city gate in an orderly manner. As the siege caravans crossed the moat and approached the gates, the drums of war at the head of the city intensified, and the soldiers leaned out of the walls and fired arrows and stones at the approaching siege engines.

The stone smashed against the wooden shield of the siege car, which rattled but could not stop the siege vehicle from approaching, but only caused some obstacles for the soldiers next to the car. For such interference, the Wei soldiers did not pay attention to it at all, and they shouted in unison, and the speed became faster and faster.

Seeing that the counterattack on the city had strengthened, the archers also rushed through the moat, and fired from their backs about thirty paces below the city to cover the attack of their comrades.

Deng Zhi ordered that only more than 500 people were left in the city to block the attack, and all the others retreated to the rear and were not allowed to participate in the battle. In this way, the counterattack on the city was not only not strong enough, but also seemed to be a little scrambling, until the opponent approached the city gate, and finally smashed the siege engine with a boulder, blocking an attack.

The Wei army was not discouraged by this defeat, on the contrary, they were elated that they could reach the city with the first attack, and they cheered loudly, and their morale was further high. Hu Zun stood on the command car, looking at the flag waving in the distance, and the city head that seemed to have not recovered from his fear, was full of joy. This situation further verified his conjecture that Deng Zhi was a useless old man, and it was a credit from God.

"Keep attacking!" Hu Zun gave a majestic order, the drums of war exploded over the battlefield, and another wave of attacks began.

Jin Dongliu sat on horseback, looking at the Wuguan Chenghu in the distance and was suspicious, he couldn't figure out what the situation was now, the first tentative attack had achieved such a result. Could it be that Deng Zhi is indeed a useless person, Wei Ba is just unavailable, or just because of his identity. Only then did he arrange for him to guard the military pass? Or was it because Meng Da and the others were in Fangling, he felt that Sima Yi did not dare to attack on a large scale, so he arranged the weakest Deng Zhi here?

Hu Zun was full of spirit and wanted to take Wuguan. A shame before the snow. Jin Dongliu hesitated, unable to figure out the real situation in the city, and was in diviant terms. Guess the possibilities. Deng Zhi in the city further weakened the manpower at the city gate, trying his best to show weakness, and every time he had to wait until the Wei army attacked under the city wall, he was willing to send more manpower to barely protect the city gate.

Under his arrangement, the Wei army got closer and closer to the city gates, and finally at the time of the third attack. Knocking on the city gate seemed to indicate that Wuguan City was in danger, and further strengthened Hu Zun's confidence in taking Wuguan before the arrival of the main force.

After a day's battle, the Wei army launched more than a dozen attacks, eight of which struck the city gates. Successfully broke through the urn city, occupied a section of the city wall, and even reached the head of the main city twice, only to return in vain because of the desperate counterattack of the city head.

But Hu Zun's confidence swelled to the extreme. He ordered a night battle, to conquer Wuguan before the arrival of the hussar general tomorrow, and give the hussar general a big gift.

The Wei soldiers agreed with a bang, and even Jin Dongliu, who had always been cautious, did not object. The battle situation during the day has proved that Deng Zhi is a fool with no battlefield experience at all, and the strength of the city is estimated to be no more than 2,000, and it is likely that there are only more than 1,000 people, and they are all inexperienced newcomers, with the strong combat effectiveness of the Wei army, it is completely possible to take Wuguan.

Hu Zundaxiao said to the generals: "Everyone, let's have a full meal, the camp doesn't need to be pierced, break through the Wuguan, and go to the city to sleep." ”

The generals hahadaxiao, gossiping in agreement. Jin Dongliu was silent, he still had some doubts in his heart, but he knew that now everyone was tempted by the credit of conquering Wuguan, and no one would listen to what he said, only Hu Zun would laugh at him.

All he could do was to return to his position and order all his soldiers to be prepared for contingencies, without the slightest negligence.

This cautious approach will soon prove to be very wise.

Just when Hu Zun swore to enter Wuguan City to rest, Deng Zhi also arranged tasks with a murderous face. The aggrieved battle during the day made every soldier hold back the fire, and their dissatisfaction with Deng Zhi also accumulated to the extreme. Facing Deng Zhi at this moment, they have lost their former respect, their noses are not noses, their eyes are not eyes, and there is contempt that cannot be concealed in the silence.

Deng Zhi put on his armor, put his hands behind his back, walked two steps back and forth, stood still at the bottom of the steps, and faced the generals in the court, he said in a deep voice: "I know that many of you are now scolding my Deng Zhi's ancestors. ”

The generals agreed with silence.

"However, my Nanyang Deng family is descended from Deng Yuanhou, a famous minister in Zhongxing, and his family has been prosperous for two hundred years, which is far from being comparable to any of you." Deng Zhi pointed to his nose: "I, Deng Zhi, will once again prove the glory of my ancestors, and let you see what a real famous general is." ”

There was a lot of sneering in the courtroom.

Deng Zhi sneered, stroked the knife ring, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Five thousand people defend the city, even if ten thousand people come to attack and defend the city, it is not a skill, and it is only the ability to eat the enemy in one bite." Which of you can grasp that you can eat all the Wei troops outside the city? ”

The generals looked at each other, they didn't have the ability to do this. Some people realized the meaning of Deng Zhi's words, and couldn't help but raise their heads and look at Deng Zhi in surprise. Those who didn't understand it also felt the weirdness of the atmosphere, closed their mouths, and looked at Deng Zhi with blank eyes.

Huainanzi said: The way to use soldiers is to show softness and rigidity; Show it to be weak, multiply it by strength. During the day, we show weakness in order to take advantage of it tonight. We have to open the city gate, lead the enemy into the city, and then close the door and beat the dog, cut off Hu Zun's dog's head, let him see what is the real elite! ”

Deng Zhi raised his arms and shouted: "Kill the general!" ”

The generals were overjoyed, raised their arms, and shouted in unison: "Capture the flag!" ”
