Chapter 397: Jiang Wei is defeated
The place where Jiang Wei'an's camp is stationed, although the terrain is flat and there is no danger to defend, but it has a wide field of vision.
Once there is any change, it can also be found in time, which is more convenient for the army to retreat.
Deng Ai relied on his familiarity with the terrain around Duyang to find a condescending hillside.
After setting up camp, the two invariably sent scouts to explore the surrounding terrain and begin to search for each other's figures.
Listening to the steady stream of news coming back, Cao Ren and the others couldn't help but nod secretly.
Unexpectedly, although Deng Ai and Jiang Wei are not very old and have not really been baptized on the battlefield, they are so old and spicy when they march and set up.
After determining each other's positions, it was Jiang Wei who took the initiative to attack.
He divided an army of five hundred men and pounced on the hillside where Deng Ai was located.
Deng Ai naturally knew that if Jiang Wei was blocked under the mountain, he would be passive.
Therefore, he stationed half of his troops and horses at the foot of the mountain, and fought against the base camp on the hillside.
Seeing Deng Ai respond like this, Jiang Wei's five hundred pioneers did not rush hard, but waited for the follow-up army to arrive.
After Jiang Wei arrived, the soldiers gathered together and began to attack Deng Ai's soldiers and horses at the foot of the mountain.
However, Deng Ai's soldiers and horses were mainly defensive and had the advantage.
When the fierce battle between the two sides was in full swing, Deng Ai personally rushed down the hillside and launched an attack on Jiang Wei.
In an instant, Jiang Wei's department suffered heavy losses!
He had to withdraw his troops and gather the army back first.
After suffering a loss, Jiang Weixue became smarter.
He no longer stormed the camp below the mountain, but instead focused on harassment.
Either it was a feigned attack, and after attracting the attention of Deng Ai's army, he chose to withdraw his troops.
Either they attacked the camp at night and withdrew their troops again after finding that they could not succeed.
After two days of repeated this, Deng Ai's soldiers and horses at the foot of the mountain were exhausted.
In the end, Deng Ai could only reluctantly order these soldiers and horses to be transferred back to the mountain.
Seeing this, Jiang Wei commanded his army and surrounded the hillside!
In order to defeat Deng Ai earlier, Jiang Wei took a short rest and launched an attack on Deng Ai!
The two sides were fighting fiercely, and when Jiang Wei was about to break through Deng Ai's camp and win the exercise, he was stopped by Zhou Cang, who was sent by Yang Ling.
"Boyo, the general asked me to invite you over."
"The drill is not over yet, why did the teacher let me go?"
Jiang Wei was stunned.
"The exercise has ended, and after the judgment of the general, you have been defeated."
Zhou Cang said.
"What?! How is this possible, I am obviously going to win, how can it be that I am defeated? ”
Jiang Wei was taken aback.
"You've seen the general, you'll know."
Zhou Cang glanced at Jiang Wei sympathetically.
Jiang Wei did not hesitate, and immediately returned to the viewing platform.
But to his surprise, Deng Ai turned out to be by Yang Ling's side.
"Teacher, why did I lose?"
Jiang Wei said a little unconvinced.
Yang Ling smiled faintly and said to Deng Ai,
"Let's talk about it."
"Compliance...... Yes, teacher! ”
Deng Ai stepped forward and explained to Jiang Wei softly.
It turned out that whether it was stationed on the hillside or at the foot of the mountain, it was just Deng Ai's means to confuse Jiang Wei.
His real intention was to attract Jiang Wei's soldiers and horses to the foot of the mountain.
At the same time, Deng Ai personally led a team of men and horses to climb down the back mountain.
When Jiang Wei sent all his soldiers and horses to the mountain, he brazenly attacked Jiang Wei's handsome banner.
"This ...... How is this possible? The back mountain cliffs are steep and impossible to climb! ”
Jiang Wei couldn't help but say.
As early as when the hillside was surrounded, he sent people to check the surrounding terrain and made sure that Deng Ai's army could not come down from the back hill, and then he was relieved.
But he never expected that Deng Ai would still climb down from the back mountain.
"It's exactly what you think is impossible, and he did it."
Yang Ling said lightly,
"So after he came down from the back mountain with his soldiers and horses, the division directly judged him to win."
Jiang Wei was stunned on the spot, speechless for a long time.
It was just an insignificant exercise, and Deng Ai dared to take the risk of climbing from the back mountain with his soldiers and horses.
It's amazing to have such courage at such a young age.
Yang Ling couldn't help but smile and praised,
"This performance is really amazing."
Cao Ren, Zhao Yun, Gan Ning, Ma Chao and others on the side also nodded approvingly.
Looking at the sullen Jiang Wei, Yang Ling laughed,
"Boyo doesn't have to be discouraged. The reason why you failed this time is because you are too competitive! ”
"If you only besiege your soldiers on the mountains, and do not storm them."
"In a few days, he will be defeated because of lack of food and water."
"But you just chose to attack, and finally fell into the trap of Shizai."
"It's not a bad thing to be competitive, but don't let that affect your judgment, you know?"
Jiang Wei's face was a little ashamed, and after a long while, he said solemnly,
"The students remembered."
He paused, looked at Deng Ai on the side, and said respectfully,
"This time I lost, Boyo has seen my senior brother!"
"Senior brother doesn't have to be polite."
Deng Ai also responded with a smile.
Looking at the two teenagers who shook hands and made peace, Cao Ren, Cao Tai, Cai Kun and others on the side, they couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in their hearts.
From this exercise, it can be seen that Jiang Wei and Deng Ai are quite talented in marching and fighting.
After a few years of learning by Yang Ling's side, the future achievements will be extraordinary!
Thinking of this, they admired Yang Ling's vision more and more!
After the end of the exercise, Yang Ling and everyone were also preparing to return to Duyang City.
But when they were halfway there, a cavalryman rode his horse and galloped forward.
After arriving in front of Yang Ling, he pulled the reins, turned over from his mount, and handed over the official document in his hand.
"General, there has been a change in Jingzhou!"
Yang Ling's heart moved, and he hurriedly took the official document from his hand and read it carefully.
"General, what's going on in Jingzhou?"
Cao Ren on the side couldn't help but say.
Yang Ling put down the official document in his hand, his face was solemn,
"Liu Biao is critically ill, and his eldest sons Liu Qi and Liu Bei and others are plotting a mutiny!"
……
Xiangyang City.
Although the sun has been shining in recent days, those who are interested can still detect the undercurrent of private surging from the stubborn soldiers who patrol the city from time to time.
Just a few days ago, Liu Biao, who could still handle government affairs, suddenly fell seriously ill and fell into a coma.
Now Xiangyang City and even the whole Jingzhou are a scene of mountains and rains coming and the wind is full of buildings.
State Pastoral Office.
"Thank you, doctors."
"Madam, you're welcome, it's our duty."
Cai Yu nodded at Cai Mao on the side and motioned for him to send a few doctors away.
After a few doctors left, Cai Mao couldn't wait to ask,
"Second sister, what is the situation of the state pastor?"
