Fengshen: I can inherit the inheritance of my subordinates

Chapter 16 Deng Zhong's Decision

The Xiqi camp was built close to the mountains and rivers, and the back camp was close to the hills. Although the hills are not big and the vegetation is lush, it is not a big problem to hide thousands of people.The hill was at a high place, Deng Zhong stood on the top of the hill and had a panoramic view of the entire enemy camp.

The sound of fighting from the front battalion was earth-shattering, and Ji Li couldn't bear it any longer. He walked back and forth in the forest to attract Deng Zhong's attention, but Deng Zhong didn't respond. The division led a large army to fight against the enemy, expecting us to sneak attack the enemy camp for food and grass, destroying the enemy's morale, you have been staring at the enemy camp for so long, and you still haven't made up your mind!"

Originally he was suspicious of Deng Zhong, but seeing him delaying in giving orders now, Ji Li's dissatisfaction has already heated up.

Deng Zhong said, "General Ji, wait a little longer."

Perhaps the original owner was a little impulsive, but Deng Zhong accepted everything about him, he had the thinking of later generations, and when encountering major events, he was extremely calm.Although the two armies were fighting, it didn't affect his mood at all.

After all, the front battalion is the front battalion, and my task is to burn the enemy camp's food and grass. As long as the food and grass are destroyed, the business camp will win the battle tonight.

Ji Li hummed: "Wait any longer, the battle over there is almost over."

Deng Zhongdao: "A battle of tens of thousands of people cannot end so easily."

Ji Li had a sullen face, holding his sword in his hand, and stared at the enemy camp. If he was the main general, he would have led his army to the enemy camp down the mountain.However, the distance of a few hundred meters can be reached in a short time.

The mountain was quiet, completely different from the enemy camp caught in the flames of war.

……

In the back camp, the defense was the same as usual, except that Yang Jian led two thousand Xiqi elites to ambush in the dark, quietly waiting for the prey to come to the door.

Huang Tianxiang and Huang Tianhua are brothers of the same mother. They are the fourth eldest in the family. Although they are mortal generals, they are highly skilled in martial arts and proficient in marksmanship.

Yang Jian is an all-rounder in civil and military affairs, and has been in charge of food and grass. Considering that the grand master came to him unkindly, Jiang Ziya sent Huang Tianxiang to assist Yang Jian in guarding the rear camp.

Huang Tianxiang said: "General Yang, the sound of fighting in the front camp has been going on for more than half an hour. We are in the back camp and we haven't even seen the enemy. Do you think they won't come?"

Yang Jian said: "They will come."

Food and grass are the only hope for the 10,000+ merchant army to survive. How can the Grand Master Wen not understand that at this juncture, besides the Xiqi camp, where else can he get food and grass.

Maybe I heard that the people sent by the Grand Master are already on the way, or they are hiding nearby, waiting for the opportunity to move.

As long as the opponent dares to come, Yang Jian is [-]% sure that he can eat this enemy army in one bite.

He hoped that the person who attacked the rear camp was Deng Zhong, so that this threat could be cut off. Last time in the enemy camp, he couldn't solve this person, and he felt a little pity.

When Huang Tianxiang heard this, he cheered up immediately.

……

As time passed, Deng Zhong felt that the timing was about the same, and said to Ji Li: "General Ji, I will lead 2000 elite troops to attack the enemy camp, and you will lead the remaining [-] troops and continue to lie dormant."

Ji Li became impatient when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Deng Zhong, the grand master asked you and me to attack the camp together, you let me stay here, you want to take credit for yourself!"

"Swallow the credit alone."

With a bitter smile on Deng Zhong's face, he said, "Do you know who has been responsible for the food and grass of the Xiqi Army?"

Ji Li was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "This is the secret of the Xiqi Army, how do I know?"

Deng Zhong spat out two words: "Yang Jian."

Ji Li was taken aback. Who was Yang Jian? He was a tougher man than Nezha. Even his master recognized his ability, and even called him the number one strange person under Jiang Ziya's command.

Senior brother Yu Qing died at the hands of this person. If this person guarded the food and grass, then tonight's sneak attack is likely to fail.

After pondering for a while, Ji Li said, "Then what are your plans?"

Ji Li was not stupid, Deng Zhong had been lurking here for an hour before he decided to attack, it can be seen that he already had an idea in his belly.Not knowing how the other party planned to deal with Yang Jian, Ji Li was a little curious.

Deng Zhongdao: "I plan to lead [-] elite soldiers into the enemy's camp and make an intention to burn the enemy's granaries. The Xiqi army must resist bravely. But I saw that it was impossible, so I led the troops to withdraw from the rear camp and go to the front camp. Get closer and join the Grand Master's troops."

Ji Li was stunned, thought carefully, and said: "You mean, you take 3000 troops to act as bait to disperse the enemy's troops, and then I will lead people to attack the camp again to destroy the enemy's food and grass in one fell swoop."

Deng Zhongdao: "Yes, this is our only chance."

Of course, this is just a tactic in Deng Zhong's mind. As for where the battlefield is headed, no one can tell.

Ji Li retorted: "If the enemy is not fooled."

Food and grass is an important place in the military camp. Since Yang Jian is the grain supervisor, how could he leave his post at the critical moment of the war and go after Deng Zhong.Besides, even though Deng Zhong was brave, if he entered the enemy camp, under Yang Jian's nose, he might not be able to escape successfully, let alone with three thousand elites.

What Deng Zhong said was plain, but it was extremely difficult to implement.

Deng Zhong said: "Since I have made such an arrangement, I am at least 2000% sure. If the strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain fails, General Ji can lead [-] troops to join the Grand Master and tell him what happened in the rear camp."

Yang Jian had seen his own combat power, so he naturally knew that if he went to the front camp, he would harm the Xiqi Army, and he would definitely find a way to keep him.Furthermore, although Yang Jian is smart, in this era, the art of war has not yet come into its own.

With such a big commotion in the front camp, Yang Jian probably knew that someone would come to attack the rear camp, but could he have imagined that there would be two teams of troops attacking the rear camp? If he could even guess this, then why fight? She lives in seclusion in the local area, and will not come out until the Conferred God War is over.

Surprise flashed across Ji Li's face, and he said, "General Deng, why don't you let me be the bait."

Ji Li knew exactly what the consequences of acting as a bait on the battlefield were. At this time, he looked at Deng Zhong with a complicated look.

Deng Zhong said, "I am the chief general, so I will naturally do this. General Ji, please remember my words."

Ji Li cupped his hands and said: "General Deng, don't worry, if your plan succeeds, I, Ji Li, will risk my life and burn the enemy camp's food and grass."

Deng Zhong nodded, ordered 3000 men and horses, and rushed down the mountain mightily.He knew that if he faced Yang Jian alone, he might escape death, but he had no choice but to risk his life.

Wen Taishi sent himself to attack the enemy's grain and grass, which must have the meaning of probing. By risking his life, he can change Ji Li's hostility towards him, and at the same time let Wen Taishi see his loyalty and rest assured of himself, killing two birds with one stone.

Watching the 3000 people rushing towards the enemy camp, Ji Li felt a little complicated. Could Deng Zhong, who is so heroic, be the one who killed Yu Qing?At this moment, the belief in wanting to find evidence that Deng Zhong killed Yu Qing began to waver.
