Chapter 20: Hundred Miles Attack
Thanks to Uncle Biao's flattery, Deng Chanyu soon earned the nickname "Heavenly General" among many soldiers and barbarians!

The barbarians have always worshipped the strong, and they are the most receptive to this nickname.

Although their hands and feet were tied, looking at their expressions, they would not run away even if they were asked to.

Deng Chanyu sat down to wipe the halberd, not because she was showing off, but because she wanted to let Biaozi have a rest. Riding a "train" all the way was really beautiful, but it was also a huge burden on the warhorse. Biaozi, who was considered a "bad horse" in the eyes of everyone, did not give up. In addition to the fact that Deng did a good job of rubbing the horse, its own tenacity was also the key.

While resting, Deng Chanyu was also thinking about what to do next.

She was very nervous before going into battle, but now she is not nervous anymore. Her strength, stamina, physical fitness and reaction speed are much better than ordinary people. Unless it is a one-on-ten-thousand battle, there is really no threat to her on a normal battlefield.

However, war is not a one-person thing. If you want to capture the city of Nandu, you need some planning.

The examples in history books of conquering a city in one night or three days were not all due to recklessness. A lot of work had to be done upfront and in secret to achieve a glorious victory.

The ambush had come too suddenly, leaving chaos and confusion. Only then did they have time to carefully consider a plan to break the city. Crossing the river in white clothes was definitely not an option. Both sides had fought tooth and nail, and they were still planning a surprise attack by crossing the river? Feigning defeat and setting an ambush, then launching a counterattack? She figured she'd killed E Jisheng so badly that even if the enemy saw them retreating, they wouldn't dare pursue them.

How to do it?

She had some rough ideas in mind, but the army did not belong to her alone, and she also had to convince Huang Feibiao.

"Uncle Biao, what should we do next?"

Huang Feibiao was surprisingly familiar with her calling him "Uncle" when there was something going on and "Uncle Biao" when nothing was going on.
At one point before, he was ready to commit suicide.

As a member of the Huang family, he absolutely could not surrender, let alone be captured. He even planned to commit suicide and let the servants take his head back, leaving behind a headless corpse. Nan Bohou couldn't say that the headless corpse was Huang Feibiao, right?

He must not leave any chance for Nanbo Hou to slander the Huang family or drag the Huang family into trouble.

He had already imagined the scene of his head being carried across the river, placed in a small box, and sent back to Chaoge. However, in a moment of trance, Deng Chanyu swept through the enemy and saved his life.

Being called Uncle Biao means everything is peaceful and fine, isn't that great? So, Uncle Biao is Uncle Biao!
He had also been a deputy general for half his life, and judging Deng Chanyu's words and expressions, he guessed that she had something on her mind, and immediately lowered his attitude: "My dear niece, please feel free to ask for my instructions."

Deng Chanyu was very satisfied: "Okay, Deng Ai!"

Following her, the head servant rushed towards the spray train. Now his body was covered in black ash and he had an arrow in his arm. He immediately stepped out and said, "I am here!"

"Speed ​​is of the essence in war. I suspect that Jaw Jisheng must have taken most of Nandu's troops with him when he left the city to ambush us. I want you to sneak into Nandu immediately. I don't need you to seize the gates, just create enough chaos. Is it possible?"

Deng Ai clasped his fists and said firmly, "Yes!"

He was determined to wash away the shame of this time, and was willing to brave even the most dangerous terrain, not to mention Nandu.

"Go quickly, I will take over Nandu City tonight."

Deng Ai, accompanied by ten retainers, rode at full speed towards the Southern Capital.

"Uncle, find the highest-ranking captive."

"Yes." The prisoner was quickly pushed up.

Wow, even though Deng Chanyu was worried, she was still a little surprised when she saw this prisoner.

This is a barbarian with a tattooed face and shaved head. He is almost two meters tall, covered in muscles, and looks like a pillar. Judging from his features, is he a woman?

The historical records say, "Zhao Yu of Jiuzhen Commandery was nine feet tall, with a chest three feet long. During battle, her chest was tied to her back."

She had always thought it was some kind of exaggeration, perhaps even slander by the historians. The Central Plains people and the barbarians were all human, indistinguishable. No matter how exaggerated, it couldn't possibly be three feet long. How sagging could it be? It was clearly nonsense, but seeing the towering woman before her, she began to believe it. At least this female King Kong and the girl she knew were probably not the same species.
The barbarian female general had her hands tied and looked at Huang Feibiao with disdain, but when she saw Deng Chanyu, her face was full of admiration. She knelt down on her knees and shouted "General Tianren".

Let him be General Tianren, it’s better than the short-lived General Tiangong.

The barbarian's thinking was simple. Deng Chanyu didn't play hard to get. "Are you willing to surrender?"

The barbarian female general knelt straight, and in a tone that said, "You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you," she shouted, "I surrender!"

Deng Chanyu: “.”

Huang Feibiao: “.”

The barbarian female general was of high status. She was the chief of a large tribe nearby. When the chief surrendered, her tribesmen also surrendered without any delay.

It was only then that Deng Chanyu realized that her reputation among the captives was extremely high. She rode her horse and strolled among the captives. Ninety-nine percent of the barbarians surrendered when they saw her outfit of hair bun, purple gold crown and hundred-flower battle robe, and most of the people from Nandu also surrendered.

There were 13,000 people before they set out. Now, if we don’t consider the combat effectiveness and morale of the prisoners, they already have more than 30,000 soldiers.

With more soldiers, many things will be easier to do.

She said to Uncle Biao, "I will lead the elite cavalry to raid Nandu City, and you will lead the infantry. Take a look at those fire engines and push them if you can. I don't care about anything else, I only have one request: your infantry must reach Nandu City before dawn tomorrow."

Huang Feibiao clasped his fists and said, "I obey your command!"

At this time, there was no distinction between servants from the Huang family and servants from the Deng family. Anyone who had decent riding skills would ride a horse and join Deng Chanyu in the attack.

E Jisheng left the battlefield almost an incense stick's time earlier than them, but in order to intercept the army of Deng Chanyu and Huang Feibiao, the younger brother of Nanbohou located himself at the easternmost side of the battlefield. After Deng Chanyu and his men rushed out of the valley, the straight-line distance to the western Nandu City was less than 80 miles, while he was almost 100 miles away.

E Jisheng left early, but the distance was long; Deng Chanyu started late, but the distance was closer, so both sides had to race against time.

In Nandu City.

He Jisheng, who had thrown away his armor and weapons and ran all the way back, had bloodshot eyes. The ambush that he had arranged perfectly turned out like this. He felt like he was dreaming.

As a thoroughfare connecting nine provinces, transportation is indeed convenient, but at the same time, this kind of city is also very difficult to defend.

He was also experienced and knew the importance of morale to defending a city. Regardless of his own fatigue, he immediately issued a ban to the soldiers who had escaped with him. No one was allowed to discuss battlefield matters, and anyone who violated the order would be executed!
