Nanwuyang is named after the sun of Juwu Mountain.

He is sandwiched between Nishan Mountain and Mengshan Mountain, the holy mountain in the East, and faces the city at the foot of Mengshan Mountain.

The city is the capital of the ancient country.

This ancient city once had an extremely glorious history.

Because of the burden of sacrificing Mengshan for the Zhou royal family, this small country sandwiched between the princes has gone through the change of dynasties and has always been blessed and has never declined.

These two cities are now the focus of Liu Dai's allied defense.

If the imperial army wanted to go south, it had to pass through Liangfu and march from the middle of Nishan and Mengshan.

It was feasible to climb the mountains for small groups of men and horses, but it was almost impossible for large groups of troops carrying grain and grass.

Nanwuyang and the city are like sluices across this ancient river, blocking the southward road of the imperial court's soldiers and horses.

If the imperial court wants to go to Dongyang City through this, it will not be able to avoid this hard battle.

"Cheng Zhongde is really a good talent, but it's a pity that he can't be used by me." When Liu Dai inspected the battlefield, he couldn't help but sigh to Wang Kuang again, "I am really reluctant to kill such a character." ”

"What did you kill? He still has room to use it now, so let's keep it for now, don't rush to use the knife. Wang Kuang reprimanded, "What you should think about now is whether to give Bao Xinyun some soldiers and horses, all the soldiers in this guy's hands have been exhausted, and now he is wandering around the city with the only hundreds of guards left all day long, I feel unsteady when I look at the old man." ”

"I've already ordered someone to make arrangements, and someone will help him recruit soldiers again." Liu Dai said, "This can't be blamed on him, if you and I encounter such a thing, I'm afraid we will have to collapse." ”

"That's right." Wang Kuang responded.

"Report!"

Suddenly, a soldier rushed over, "General Qiyu, the enemy cavalry suddenly arrived ten miles outside the city!" ”

"Come on, beat the drums!" Liu Dai hurriedly walked towards the city.

Before leaving, he pointed to the scout's nose and scolded, "You group of waste, the enemy army only found out ten miles outside the city, what is the use of having eyes?" If it's useless, dig it up as soon as possible! ”

The scout was beaten and hurried out of the city.

In the fierce drumming, several city gates in Nanwuyang quickly fell.

When Chen Deng heard the news, he also hurriedly took Xiahoudun up the city wall.

Xiahoudun, who had no armor, even felt a little awkward when he walked.

It felt like I didn't have any clothes on.

"You should get me a suit of armor, so I'm your lieutenant now, right?" Xiahoudun muttered again.

This matter, since Chen Deng brought him into Nanwuyang City, he has been talking about it until now.

Chen Deng turned around and threw his hand at Xiahoudun, and said hurriedly: "General, just let me go, Peiguo's soldiers are really not worthy of wearing armor, and they can't afford to wear them." Besides, this soft armor is also armor, don't look down on it, look at the soldiers in this city, how many people are wearing iron armor? ”

"When you go to the city later, don't say it, if Liu Dai and the others find out about it, you and I will have to die!"

"We're standing in other people's mouths now, and when they go up and down, we're going to die."

Xiahoudun plucked his ears, "Okay, okay, don't worry, I really know it." ”

"You've said this enough times, look, are my ears calloused?"

Chen Deng was also obedient to Xiahoudun.

This is really a real reckless man!

He couldn't figure out why the emperor would send such an imprudent person to do such a dangerous thing.

Is there really no general available in the DPRK and China?

When the two of them went to the city, they saw the army of the imperial court arrive at the city.

"Yo, Zhang Liao, this guy is really fast." Xiahoudun glanced at it from a distance and muttered.

Chen Deng hurriedly glanced over.

Xiahoudun instantly shut up, "Okay, I won't say it." ”

"The virtuous nephew is here too." Liu Dai saw Chen Dengcheng and greeted him cordially, "This battle does not require a virtuous nephew to send troops, you can watch the battle with peace of mind and see the strength of the imperial court." ”

"Let's not talk about the strength of the imperial army, but I want to know, is the imperial court so rich now? The soldiers are all iron-armoured? Chen Deng asked in disbelief.

He was genuinely surprised.

At this moment, there are about 3,000 cavalry outside the city, although the horses are variegated, but the knights on the horses are all black iron armor, such soldiers and horses, looking at it makes people feel frightened.

Liu Dai looked at such soldiers and horses, and his eyes were also hot, "The imperial court should be rich now." ”

"That young emperor first used means to kill the palace attendants who were in power, and then wantonly slaughtered the gentry in Guanzhong, so he should have accumulated a lot of wealth."

Chen Deng glanced at Xiahoudun with a vague gaze, "It's no wonder." ”

At this time, Zhang Liao's shouts came from under the city.

"A certain Zhang Liao, the traitor in the city has heard clearly, Your Majesty's will, hand over the traitor Lu Bu, you can avoid waiting for death."

"Otherwise, when the city is broken, no matter the reason, all will be slaughtered!"

Liu Dai shook his head and scolded with disdain: "Listen, this is still sowing discord here." It's all slaughtered, it sounds really scary, isn't it, but this is the emperor's consistent style, every time a city is broken, no chickens and dogs are left. People don't care if you're a good person or a thief. ”

"Such an emperor, how can this world be good?"

Chen Deng coughed lightly and asked, "Liu Tingshi let this thief be so provocative?" ”

"Whatever he wants, we focus on defending the city, guarding it, there is no need to find bad luck." Liu Dai said indifferently at all.

But after Zhang Liao just shouted that sentence, he didn't say anything more.

Instead, he turned around and left with the soldiers and horses cleanly.

This one made Liu Dai a little incomprehensible.

"What does he mean by that?" Liu Dai raised his hands and shouted at the people around him.

Xingshi moved the crowd to come, just to leave a cruel word?

This made Chen Deng and Wang Kuang on the side also confused.

Wang Kuang squinted his eyes slightly, and said with a contemplative face: "Maybe he retreated in the face of difficulties." ”

"The enemy army is all cavalry, and our army does not take the initiative to go out of the city to meet the battle, so when the guy sees that he can't get any bargains, he simply leads people to retreat."

Liu Dai's suspicion suddenly became offended, and he said in a deep voice: "Could there be any conspiracy?" ”

Wang Kuang laughed and said, "Our army is hiding in the fortified city, what conspiracy can he have to hurt us?" Want to flood the city? It wasn't easy. ”

Disdainfully just mocked, his face suddenly changed, and he muttered uncertainly, "It shouldn't be, right?" ”

"It's not impossible!" Liu Dai said.

He had just considered these aspects, and Wang Kuang's speculation suddenly made him feel uneasy.

As long as there is a proximity to the river, this tactic has to be guarded against.

In previous wars, there were too many such ways of playing.

"Why don't you send someone out of the city to have a look?" Wang Kuang proposed.

"Good!" Liu Dai agreed, "Send a thousand cavalry out of the city to check the whereabouts of the enemy army, and you don't have to engage them." ”

The water in the Mengshan Mountains is complex, and there are many rivers that converge, but the closest to Nanwuyang is the Beng River.

If the upper reaches of the Yi River are cut off, and then poured the power of the flood into the backflow, Nanwuyang will be in danger.

The Nanwuyang Castle was built on the north bank of the ancient river channel, and although it will not be completely submerged, if the flood roars, it will definitely be swept up half of the city.

Wang Kuang sent a thousand cavalry and followed Zhang Liao out of the city.

But as soon as the cavalry left the city, there was no news.

The crowd waited for nearly two hours, until the sun hung on the edge of Nishan, and it was getting late.

Only then did they have to admit that the 1,000 cavalry were meat buns and dogs.

"Maybe that's the enemy's conspiracy." Liu Dai muttered, "No matter how they scold in the future, we don't have to send troops out of the city anymore, they are like luring us out of the city." ”

"Thorn Shi is no longer worried about them diverting water to irrigate the city?" Wang Kuang asked puzzled.

Although it was his men and horses that he lost, he did not give up his suspicions that the enemy would divert water to flood the city.

If he were an enemy army, he would definitely not give up such a favorable terrain.

Even if it was just a try, he would definitely find a way to get some water for Nan Wuyang.

"Redirecting the Yi River, building a dam to store water, and digging and irrigating Nanwuyang requires a lot of manpower, and it is not something that can be done in a short period of time. The imperial court didn't have that much time now, and they were even more worried that Cao Hong and thousands of soldiers would starve to death in Dongyang City. Liu Dai's thoughts suddenly changed, and he said with great certainty.

Chen Deng's expression changed slightly, and he echoed: "Liu Tingshi's eyes are old and spicy, in fact, he also thinks that they are not very likely to attack with water. I've heard that the imperial court is very good at siege warfare, and in a hurry, they should choose to attack the city directly, rather than invest a lot of troops to change the course of the Yi River. ”

"Yes, the views of the virtuous nephew and mine really coincide." Liu Dai glanced at Chen Deng with great appreciation, and said, "Since the current emperor sent troops, it is said that he has never recruited people, and when he escorts grain and grass, he only uses a small number of people. If the course of the river is changed, they will also need to recruit a large number of people. ”

After a few rounds of coming and going, Cao Hong may only have a bone scattered as soon as the wind blows in Dongyang City, which is very inconsistent with the purpose of the imperial court. Before, I was a little anxious, and I didn't think deeply, and it was my fault that I lost a thousand soldiers in vain. ”

It's okay not to explain, this explanation is clear, and Wang Kuang's heart is suddenly a little uncomfortable.

So his thousand cavalry died in vain?

It's really bad luck to get home.

The war ended hastily and in a blur during the day.

After dinner, Xiahou Dun sneakily found Chen Deng, "You should ask that thing surnamed Liu to go to the main road of Dongyang City, if I stay here for one more day, Cao Hong's life will be in danger for one day." It's been almost a month, and even if his small body is made of iron, it should be time when he can't bear it. ”

Although he didn't say anything, he was already anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

Chen Deng persuaded with good words: "General, not to mention that I am now asked to be ordered to garrison the main road to Dongyang City, will Liu Dai doubt it, even if he does not suspect it, to garrison the main road, I think it is better to stay here." ”

Xiahoudun's face suddenly became a little unkind, "Okay, you little white face, you just did it on purpose, didn't you?" is in the enemy camp, and the heart is also in the enemy camp, but on the surface it is just pretending to be loyal to the court, isn't it? ”

Chen Deng was frightened by Xiahoudun's suddenly raised voice, "My living ancestor, your old voice should be quieter!" ”

"You don't want to be hung on the city wall by Liu Dai first, right?"

Xiahou grabbed Chen Deng's clothes and asked, "Then what do you mean by that?" ”

Chen Deng took a deep breath with a helpless face, and gently patted Xiahoudun's hand holding him, "Loosen first, loose, it's about to strangle." ”

Xiahoudun snorted and threw Chen Deng on the bottom shirt IG, "If you can't say that you are ugly today, Hugh blame will be over with you." ”

"Okay, okay, I say." Regarding Xiahoudun's temper, Chen Deng is helpless now, in addition to helplessness.

He cleared his throat and lowered his voice and said, "The general will indeed rescue General Cao Hong faster if he goes to garrison the main road to Dongyang City." But we didn't have much grain and grass with us, and we had to rely on Nanwuyang to supply it, and we couldn't last a few days. ”

"And it is in the belly of Liu Dai's army, maybe he will soon find out about the changes in Dongyang City, when the time comes, the general will lead these two thousand soldiers and horses, and thousands of hungry soldiers who can't hold weapons, how do you fight Liu Dai?"

Xiahoudun looked slightly stunned, hissed lightly, and said, "What you said is quite convincing. So what do you mean...... Would it be faster to stay here? ”

"Yes, faster!" Chen Deng couldn't help but lower his voice a few more points, almost in a voice that only the two of them could barely hear clearly, and lowered his body and said: "The inside should be combined with the outside, and it is only in the morning and night to break this city!" ”

"As long as this city is broken, those soldiers and horses stationed on the main road will have no one to be the edge of the imperial army!"

Xiahoudun slapped his cheeks a little depressedly and muttered, "I found out that I actually did things badly." ”

Chen Deng: ???

"What did the general say about this?" Chen Deng asked.

Xiahoudun scratched his head and analyzed Chen Deng: "You see, my original purpose was to pass through Peiguo, and then go straight to the back of Dongyang City, and take advantage of the frontal battlefield when Cao Ren and others were pinning down Liu Dai, and take the opportunity to attack Dongyang City and rescue Cao Hong and other trapped soldiers and horses." ”

"But now that I and the main army of the imperial court have gathered in Nanwuyang, do you think I have done this errand?"

Chen Deng: ......

Well, it seems that it is true that it can be said.

But it seems that he should not be blamed for this...... Right?

Although he only offered a little advice.

"Actually, it's the same general, we are not just in the back of the enemy, but in their viscera. We can kill two birds with one stone. If nothing else, it should be a little faster than the general's previous plan. Chen Deng said.

Anyway, it's come to this, and no matter how much he planned before, he can't go back.

No matter which one was originally better, but now, it must be this tactic that is better!

"I hope you kid didn't lie to me, if you mess up this time and let Cao Hong die in Dongyang City, the two of us will die together, I will hang myself, and you will split the body of five horses." Xiahou said hideously, although he actually agreed with Chen Deng's plan in his heart.

But in general, it is always different from the plan set by the emperor.

pretended to be Peiguo's tribe, but as a result, he faked to Nanwuyang, and collided with the frontal army of the imperial court.

"As long as the general doesn't keep his mouth shut and deliberately makes such a sneaky appearance, this battle will be successful!" Chen Deng said.

For the glory of the rest of his life, he is really gambling on his life now.
