Chapter 176: Addiction to Horses
Deng Ai was trapped by Jiang Wei on the top of the Koji Mountain, and tried to break through to the death last night, but was ruthlessly beaten back by the Shu army.
For now, the only way to do this is to wait until dawn to find out the situation of the enemy army, and then look for an opportunity to break through.
But the next day, after Deng Ai saw the situation of the Shu army under the mountain clearly, he was even more desperate, he stood on the watchtower of the Qishan camp, he could overlook the entire Shu army camp, the Shu army was more than he thought, there were almost 40,000 troops, most of which were cavalry.
Both the total strength and the level of equipment were far superior to the Wei army under Deng Ai.
And Deng Ai also looked at the Jiang Zi banner, it can be seen that Jiang Wei has been on the battlefield in person, Deng Ai has a deep impression of Jiang Wei's use of troops and the talent of the battle array, and now looking at Jiang Wei's strict defense, he knows that he has no chance to break out of the encirclement, and he can only look forward to Guo Huai being able to send troops to rescue him.
So Deng Ai sent the dead soldiers and launched several breakouts, the purpose was not really to try to break through, but to send the dead soldiers out, and send out the news that Deng Ai's more than 20,000 troops were besieged on the top of Lu Mountain.
These brave breakthroughs are very successful, although each breakthrough has heavy casualties, but each time can break through one or two dead soldiers, Deng Ai is very happy, so that the news that he was surrounded in Lushan can be sent to Guo Huai.
On the side of the Shu army, Jiang Wei was thinking about how to seize Nan'an City in the big tent, when Ma Dai and Zhuge Zhanxing hurriedly lifted the curtain and walked into the tent.
Ma Dai looked happy and said with a smile: "General, today another five dead soldiers of the Wei army were released, and eighty Wei soldiers were killed. ”
Jiang Wei nodded and looked at Zhuge Zhan again.
Zhuge Zhan said with a smile: "I released four of them here, and killed forty-six Wei soldiers." ”
Jiang Wei said with a smile: "Next, it depends on Guo Huai's reaction, I don't believe that he can let Deng Ai sit and wait for death in Lushan, after all, the water source of Lushan has been cut off by our army." ”
Zhuge Zhan also smiled: "This can make Deng Ai get over a horse addiction, this game is almost a dead end, and see what other tricks Deng Ai can use." ”
Ma Dai said with a smile: "I see that there are thousands of defenders in Nan'an City, and they actually dare not go out of the city to rescue, and I still expect to lure the defenders of Nan'an City out of the city and annihilate them, a group of turtles with shrunken heads." ”
Jiang Wei said: "The defenders of Nan'an City are not fools, seeing that the main force is besieged on the top of the Koji Mountain, where do they dare to go out of the city to die, you didn't find out, Nan'an City has never sent the dead out to ask for help." ”
Jiang Wei mentioned this, Ma Dai was also puzzled, generally speaking, a city with empty defense, when it encounters the pressure of the enemy's army, it will often choose to ask for help as soon as possible. Although the Shu army blocked all the main roads in Nan'an for help, there were no people sent out to ask for help in the city, which is indeed a bit unusual.
Ma Dai was very puzzled and asked Jiang Weidao: "General, what is the reason why the defenders of Nan'an don't ask for help?" ”
Jiang Wei said with a smile: "In the eyes of this general, there are no more than two reasons, either he is extremely confident and feels that he can definitely hold Nan'an and does not need to ask for help; Either they have extreme inferiority complex, and they have been frightened by our army, and no one has the courage to go out and ask for help. ”
Ma Dai thought for a while, nodded and said: "The general is reasonable, I have investigated the defense of Nan'an City, the soldiers on the city are demoralized, the formation is not neat, at first glance it is the eggs of the recruits, or some old and weak, it seems that the elite in Nan'an City has been taken away by Deng Ai, and now it is surrounded by our army on the top of the Koji Mountain." ”
Jiang Wei had the heart to take the test for Ma Dai and Zhuge Zhan, so he asked: "The situation of Deng Ai now, compared with the predicament of Ma Yan's street pavilion that day, is similar, this general also asks you two, if you are Deng Ai, how will you choose to break the situation?" ”
Ma Dai thought for a long time, and said: "This is a dead end, it is indeed difficult to break, unless there is strong help to rescue, otherwise there is only a desperate breakthrough, and how much can be broken through in the end." ”
Jiang Wei said with a smile: "Deng Ai thinks the same way, and he has already done this last night, and it seems that he can't break the game." ”
Ma Dai shook his head, "This is a dead end, and time is on our side." ”
Jiang Wei saw that Ma Dai didn't have any good ideas, and asked Zhuge Zhan again, "Little Zhuge , if you are Deng Ai, do you have a way to break the situation?" ”
Zhuge Zhan racked his brains and finally thought of a solution: "If I were Deng Ai, I would do my best to lay out a super-large-scale Eight Formations of Qimen Dunjia in the Mountain of Lushan, and then lure the enemy army to attack on the mountain, and then be trapped behind the Qimen Dunjia Great Array, and then lead the army to break through." ”
Jiang Wei said with a smile: "General Ben can consume you to death now around you, why should I bother to attack you?" In this case, it is useless to lure you no matter how much you lure, and General Ben will never attack the mountain. Therefore, no matter how mysterious the Qimen Dunjia Great Array you laid out, it would not have any effect at all. ”
When Zhuge Zhan heard this, he suddenly became depressed, this trick he had used in the Wushan Resistance Battle, it was a classic example of battle that he was proud of, he used the technique of Qimen Dunjia, laid down the eight array diagrams, and escaped from the Wei army that was several times his own, but now he was rejected by Jiang Wei, and he was a little lost in his heart.
Jiang Wei patted Zhuge Zhan's shoulder with a smile and said with a smile, "This is originally a dead game, how can it be so easy to break the game." ”
Zhuge Zhan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, turned his head and asked Jiang Weidao: "Brother Boyo, if you are Deng Ai, how will you break the situation?" ”
Jiang Wei said with a smile: "This is not simple, with the general's martial arts, you can also fight a bloody way among the ten thousand troops, as long as you kill a breakthrough, it is best to take the opportunity to kill the main general of the enemy army, causing confusion in the hearts of the enemy army, and then the army can follow the general all the way to break through." ”
Ma Dai said: "The general's meaning is to reduce ten meetings with one force, but unfortunately Ma Tan couldn't defeat Zhang He back then, and he didn't even dare to go down the mountain to fight Zhang He alone." Now Deng Ai can't defeat the general, so he doesn't dare to fight the general. That's it. ”
Jiang Wei nodded, and couldn't help but think of the white horse and silver spear Wen Yuan, if Wen Yuan was trapped on the top of the Koji Mountain, I am afraid it would be a different scene.
After all, Jiang Wei and Wen Yuan have fought many times, but they have never won once, and he imagined that if Wen Yuan led the army to break through, he might really not be able to stop it.
"This woman, sooner or later, will be conquered by me!" Jiang Wei thought secretly in his heart.
Immediately, Jiang Wei retracted his thoughts, no longer discussed Deng Ai's breakthrough, and instead ordered Ma Dai and Zhuge Zhan:
"Ma Dai, let you lead 10,000 Liangzhou iron cavalry, and attack Nan'an together with the 3,000 Imperial Forest Army and 3,000 Nanban elites under Zhuge Zhan, give you three days, be sure to defeat Nan'an."
"Yes!" Ma Dai and Zhuge Zhan took the order proudly.
Immediately, the two of them strode out of the camp tent like meteors, ordered 16,000 soldiers and horses, and rolled towards Nan'an City.
