Marshal Deng of the Conferred God

Chapter 149 Flooding Strategies
There were still bean-sized raindrops falling outside, but Deng Jiugong and the three of them entered the camp leisurely without a single drop of rain.Although it was raining, the soldiers at Yuanmen still stood guard and patrolled as usual, which made Deng Jiugong very pleased. Soldiers should have iron-blooded discipline.

As soon as they arrived at the handsome tent, Chen Qi and Zhang Kui came to see him in a hurry.Chen Qi looked at Lu Yue and the two in surprise, and said to Deng Jiugong: "Commander, the scouts are here to report that the Donglu army is less than [-] miles away from us. Once the heavy rain stops, they will arrive sooner or later."

"It came pretty fast."

Deng Jiugong smiled lightly, looked at Zhang Kui, and suddenly said: "General Zhang has a good strategy to defeat the enemy." Zhang Kui is stronger than Chen Qi in ability, and Deng Jiugong has both appreciation and training for him, so he Just like how he treated Gao Jineng back then.

Zhang Kui murmured: "According to what the general saw, it is better to defend against the enemy at Xiongguan."

Although Youhunguan was burned down, the city wall is still there, several times stronger than the land of Yimapingchuan.In Zhang Kui's view, Jiang Wenhuan has the advantage in terms of military strength, and it is unwise for his side to fight recklessly with him.

Casualties cannot be avoided in war, but as a general, what you consider is how to avoid unnecessary casualties.

Deng Jiugong said: "If the enemy doesn't knock on the pass, what should we do? Stalemate with them and fight a war of attrition."

"This……"

Zhang Kui was at a loss for words, and the food and grass were almost exhausted. At this time, fighting the enemy in a war of attrition was courting death.Even though I am proficient in Taoism, I can't conjure food out of thin air.

Deng Jiugong looked at Chen Qi again and asked, "Chen Qi, how do you think you should deal with the enemy?"

Chen Qi was shaken, cupped his hands and said: "Commander, I suggest you take the initiative to attack Jiang Wenhuan by surprise, and you will definitely get a miraculous effect."

Deng Jiugong said: "You have a good idea, but there are plains for tens of miles around here, and there is no natural barrier, so the effect of surprise soldiers will not be achieved. It is not very meaningful to take the initiative to attack."

Lu Yue and Luo Xuan were silent. They came to deal with Yun Zhongzi. As for the war between mortals, they were not interested in participating.Because in their view, fighting between soldiers of both sides is no different from fighting with children.

Chen Qi's face turned red, he only thought about getting rid of Jiang Wenhuan as soon as possible, avenging the innocent people who died in a city, and didn't think too much about it.When Deng Jiugong mentioned the point, he felt a little reckless.

Deng Jiugong said: "As a general, you must keep calm at all times. Only by being calm can you distinguish the disadvantages of the enemy and yourself, find out the opportunity to deal a fatal blow to the enemy. The first is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, the next is to attack the city , This is the essence of the art of war."

Chen Qi and Zhang Kui's eyes lit up, and they hurriedly said, "What the commander said is true."

When it comes to the art of war, Deng Jiugong is indeed qualified to be their teacher, and they have no objection.

Deng Jiugong continued: "I have a plan, which can defeat the Eastern Lu army without any effort."

He said this lightly, but in the ears of several people, it surprised them, even Lu Yue was no exception.Because Lu Yue knew that Deng Jiugong's strategy was naturally not to use spells, but to use troops in an upright manner.

"The final general would like to hear the details."

Deng Jiugong said frankly: "Just now when I was returning to the camp, I passed a nearby river and saw the river swell. If my prediction is correct, it must have rained heavily all night."

Chen Qi was stunned, not knowing what Deng Jiugong's strategy had to do with the rain, so he answered truthfully: "It did rain all night last night, because the heavy rain affected the march, so the Donglu army chose to go [-] miles away. Set up camp outside."

Deng Jiugong nodded, and said: "Jiang Wenhuan led his troops to attack us. Unless we cross the river to fight, the river will become a natural moat. The plan to defeat the enemy has to fall on it."

Chen Qi and Zhang Kui don't know what it means, they also like to study the art of war on weekdays. The wars of the past and present are the few battles in which Deng Jiugong defeated Jiang Ziya in Xiqi. What is the use of a river that is only three or four feet deep.

Deng Jiugong took a look at the two of them. This is the limitation of the times. They couldn't think of even a simple flooding strategy.Sighing in his heart, Deng Jiugong asked Qin Ming to be found.

After a while, Qin Ming entered the account and bowed to Deng Jiugong.

"Qin Ming, the commander-in-chief has entrusted you with a task. Now you lead [-] soldiers to dam the dam with sandbags or stone bags, intercept the upper reaches for me, and forcefully lower the river water to about one or two feet."

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, when Chu and Han were fighting for supremacy, Han Xin used the strategy of flooding to defeat Xiang Yu's number one fierce general, Long Qi. The 20 elite casualties were exhausted, which caused the vitality of the Chu state to be seriously injured, and laid the groundwork for Xiang Yu's defeat and death.

Qin Ming was puzzled and said: "Marshal, but go and stop the upstream now."

Deng Jiugong's face became serious, and he said: "Naturally, I don't care what method you use to complete the task in the shortest possible time, otherwise you will be dealt with by military law."

"promise."

Qin Ming led the order to leave the camp, he didn't know Deng Jiugong's purpose at all, he only knew how to follow orders.At this moment, both Zhang Kui and Chen Qi understood, they looked at Deng Jiugong in admiration, and said in unison: "The coach is wise."

Deng Jiugong smiled and said, "You understand."

Chen Qidao: "The commander wants to wait until the enemy army crosses the river, so that people will break the embankment, release the flood water, and flood the enemy army."

"That's right, this commander is exactly like that. Jiang Wenhuan is just an ordinary man. Even if he has an expert to help him, he will never think of the reason why the river has become shallower. In this way, the plan of flooding will surely succeed. It's just that there are some people in the enemy army. There are experts who are proficient in Taoism, and a mere flood may not be able to overwhelm the enemy army, so we need to rely on the strength of Lu Daochang to ensure nothing goes wrong."

The last time Zhao Shenghuo attacked Jiang Ziya, Princess Longji just cast a spell and extinguished the fire.It can be seen that the gods have the power to control the battlefield, so of course I have to make arrangements in advance.

Lu Yue laughed and said, "But by order!"

Lu Yue had already seen Deng Jiugong's ingenuity in Xiqi, and he almost killed Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun in the first battle. He was still a little surprised, but it was much better than Luo Xuan, who had a shocked expression on his face.

Deng Jiugong took a look at Lu Yue, and said frankly: "If my prediction is correct, when the flood is galloping like ten thousand horses and hits the enemy directly, Yun Zhongzi will definitely step forward and cast a spell to block the flood. Daochang Lu, you should take action at this time. Tangle him, and when the flood breaks through the enemy army, you will retreat, and don't get too entangled with Yun Zhongzi."

Lu Yue said: "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Deng, Lu Mou said as soon as he came down the mountain that everything will be done according to your orders, and he will not violate his oath."

"it is good.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, Luo Xuan felt a little depressed, and said, "Daoyou Deng, I will help you with Daoyou Lu, don't forget me."

Deng Jiugong smiled and said: "Don't worry, Master Luo, Yun Zhongzi is by no means comparable to the disciples of the three generations of teaching, and he cannot be wiped out in the First World War. The flooded army is just an appetizer, give Yun Zhongzi a blow, the real big dish will come later! "

Yun Zhongzi is a god who is pitiful and compassionate. If he sees tens of thousands of people dying in front of his own eyes but is powerless, it will definitely affect his state of mind.If the mood fluctuates, the Dao heart will be unstable. In this way, he has a little more confidence in dealing with him.

In this world, even a high-ranking saint would be affected by emotions, let alone Yun Zhongzi.

Luo Xuan said with a smile: "It's good to fight if there is a war!"

Chen Qi and Zhang Kui couldn't help laughing, now they can flex their muscles.
