Han Dao world

Chapter 908
Zhang He killed Chen Deng in front of the battle, which not only surprised Zhuge Liang, but also made Liu Xie breathe a sigh of relief.

Although he would not make any deals with Chen Gui, nothing is the best choice.

Chen Deng is dead, what else can Chen Gui think of.

But it also made him wary.

Under such circumstances, Shen Pei and Tian Feng still dared to take the initiative to attack, and they would surely achieve such a result. The siege of Yecheng would be a tough battle in the future, and the casualties would not be small.

It might be naive to expect them to surrender.

Also, Zhang He was really good at fighting, and he managed to sneak attack Chen Deng under the noses of Liu Bei and Zhang Fei.

He is worthy of being one of the five good generals, someone who can make Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang look up to him.

Zhang Fei is immature and cannot step on Zhang He to become famous, only to be stepped on by Zhang He.

"Call Huang Yi back and order the Martial Arts Hall to replay the battle and analyze the gains and losses."

"Wei." Zhuge Liang bowed and retreated.

After leaving the imperial tent and arranging relevant affairs, Zhuge Liang found Zhuge Jin and conveyed the relevant news.

Knowing that Chen Deng was killed in battle, Zhuge Jin was very depressed and didn't speak for a long time.

Although he is no longer Chen Deng's staff, he still has some feelings for Chen Deng.Hearing that Chen Deng died just like that, I was really upset.

He asked Zhuge Liang again, do you really think the third brother is suitable for joining the army?
Zhuge Liang said that if he, like Chen Deng, couldn't let go of his scholar-official habits, and couldn't recognize from the bottom of his heart that all people are all scholars, let alone join the army, he wouldn't be able to do anything.

After Zhuge Jin heard this, her face became hot.

How can Chen Deng be the only one who admits that all people are soldiers, but still unconsciously despises ordinary soldiers in his heart.

-

Zhang He killed Chen Deng in front of the battle, and the morale of the Jizhou army soared. While the trial was excited, it was also a little indescribably depressed.

Chen Deng is Chen Qiu's grandson.It stands to reason that he has the obligation to take care of Chen Deng.However, Chen Deng was defeated by Zhang Xi twice, and this time he even lost his life.

See you again in the future, how can he have the face to see Chen Qiu again?
After death, it can be said that the current troubles are even more troublesome.

After Chen Qun received the news, he said to the judge in front of many people that this act violated the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, and the judge should apologize to the Xiapi Chen family and give Chen Deng a rich burial.

The judge also felt that Tian Feng did not do this properly, and should discuss it with him in advance.But it's okay to apologize to Xiapi Chen.

When the two armies are at war, casualties are inevitable.Besides, Chen Deng led his troops to attack. If we don't fight back, are we bound with our hands tied?
It is indeed a pity that Chen Deng was killed in battle, but it was an accident, not intentional.

Chen Qun was very dissatisfied with the attitude of the trial and assignment, and announced that he would thank the guests behind closed doors and would not associate with the unjust.

Shen Pei was furious, wishing to lock Chen Qun up and let him be with those Ruying people.

Tian Feng persuaded him.

Tian Feng said that Chen Qun is just a scholar and can't accomplish much.However, he is the grandson of Chen Shi and the son of Chen Ji. He enjoys the shadow of his father and grandfather, and is quite prestigious among scholar-bureaucrats and rangers.If you lock him up, it will only resent those scholar-bureaucrats and rangers who were already suspicious, and cause troubles.

That's all for scholar-bureaucrats, rangers have a great influence in the army, so it's not appropriate to mess up at this time.

The judge had no choice but to endure it.

But he didn't want to see Chen Qun again.In private, he told his sons Shenying and Shenjun that although the emperor had various faults, it was reasonable for him not to see scholar-bureaucrats.Especially those self-righteous scholars, we can't treat them as human beings.

-

When there was a lot of discussion in Yecheng, Liu Bei, Fazheng and Huang Yi rushed to Xingzai, reported the battle to Liu Xie face to face, and asked the emperor to punish him.

He took all the responsibilities and thanked Huang Yi for his reminder.

Huang Yi not only helped them build ordnance, but also reminded Zhang Fei in time.If Huang Yi hadn't stopped him, perhaps the loss would have been even greater.

As for Fazheng, according to the circumstances at the time, Fazheng's suggestion was reasonable.Chen Deng's death in battle and the defeat of his subordinates were things that no one expected, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Liu Xie is very satisfied with Liu Bei's responsibility.

Fazheng was very grateful.

Liu Bei has shouldered the main responsibility, even if the emperor wants to hold him accountable, he has to consider Liu Bei's face, and it will not expand infinitely.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Liu Xie immediately asked about the battle.

Liu Bei had a written report before, and when he said it again in person, he added some content that was inconvenient to write on paper.

Such as cavalry.

Liu Bei has always been short of cavalry.The thousand miscellaneous Hu cavalry brought to the Central Plains ten years ago have gone through many years of fighting, and there are not many left. They can only be used as personal guard cavalry, and there is no independent cavalry establishment.

One of the main reasons for being attacked by Zhang Yun this time was that Chen Deng did not have enough guard cavalry.The only hundred cavalry lined up to cover the infantry, and faced the opponent's Rangers. There were not many knights around Chen Deng, so Zhang He and his son attacked with cavalry and succeeded in one blow.

The reason why Zhang Fei did not reinforce in time was also because his cavalry was limited.Even if they were forced to send out, they would not be Zhang He's opponent, which would only increase the casualties.

The one capable of fighting Zhang Yun was the personal guard cavalry commanded by Chen Dao, but he was entangled by the cavalry sent by Gao Lan and couldn't get away.

If Zhang Fei has a thousand cavalry and reinforces them in time, it may be another result.

After listening to Liu Xie, he immediately stated that he would allocate a batch of war horses to Liu Bei for Liu Bei to form cavalry.

Liu Bei was very grateful.

Liu Xie immediately asked a question: Although Chen Deng didn't have enough cavalry to fight Zhang He, but he had five or six thousand infantry, and there was Zhangshui with a width of a hundred paces in front of him. How could Zhang He easily rush to the central army?
He is not a cavalry general, he needs to lead the way.

Liu Bei said that he also felt incredible about this issue at first.Later, when I returned to the camp, collected the broken soldiers, and learned about the situation in detail, I knew the whole story.

There are two main reasons: one is that Chen Deng did not expect that Zhang He would personally lead the cavalry raid, and he was not prepared enough.The second is that the last time we attacked Wei County, we lost too much, and the soldiers hadn't slowed down yet, and their combat effectiveness was insufficient.

These two reasons led Chen Deng to line up, but he was not psychologically prepared for the battle. In order to urge the infantry to cross the river, Chen Deng himself placed the Chinese army too far ahead and had already reached the river bank.

When Zhang He's cavalry attacked, the infantry panicked and failed to block effectively with bows and crossbows in time, so that the cavalry easily rushed into the formation.

As Liu Bei said, he drew a schematic diagram based on the information he had learned, marking the positions of the two sides at that time.

After reading the schematic diagram, Liu Xie shook his head.

Chen Deng underestimated the enemy and completely failed to take proper precautions.

In other words, although he was defeated once, he failed to learn his lesson and lost to the cavalry raid tactics again.

But from another point of view, this also illustrates a problem: the biggest difference between Jizhou and the Central Plains may be that it is more suitable for cavalry to gallop here.Whoever can bring out the advantages of the cavalry will have a greater initiative.

Thirty miles is the limit for infantry, but it is the effective killing distance for cavalry.Chen Deng thought that he was safe thirty miles away from Zhang Yun, but for Zhang Yun, this was the most comfortable position, and he felt sorry for himself if he didn't fight.

Liu Xie immediately thought of Sun Ce.

It is not only Chen Deng who lacks cavalry and who has insufficient awareness of the threat of cavalry, but Sun Ce may also be there.
