The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 647 Burying the Death Soldier ([-])

Soon, as the news scouts sent to Deng Ai in an endless stream, Deng Ai's deployment of Lu Dai's camp became more and more clear.

Deng Ai put his hands behind his back, and with his two short sword eyebrows slightly wrinkled, he walked up and down on the grass.Judging by the way he looks, he must be thinking about something.

At this time, Deng Ai raised his head and looked to one side, and found a young general in white armor who was not tall but had big eyes, standing straight not far away.He was using those big eyes to look at himself curiously.

It was only then that Deng Ai suddenly remembered that this person was that Xia Houyun sent to him by Shi Zi.

In fact, when Deng Ai received the order from his son to appoint Xia Houyun in his guard as a captain, he felt very strange in his heart.

Deng Ai knows Shizi very well, and he has been around Shizi for a long time, and he has never seen someone who would let others go through the back door.Therefore, Deng Ai felt that there should be nothing special about this Xia Houyun, it's just that the son suddenly had a whim.

Deng Ai immediately waved to Xia Houyun and let Xia Houyun pass.

Xia Houyun came to Deng Ai, he was a little shorter than Deng Ai, so he cupped his hands and asked, "What is Captain Deng going to call the last general?"

Deng Ai asked in a somewhat unpredictable manner: "You seem to have heard all the information reported by my scout captain just now. Let me ask you, do you know how to fight?"

Xia Houyun didn't expect that Deng Ai would ask him such a question, and immediately cheered up, and said with a little pride: "Although Wei Jiang is still young, he is still very interested in marching and fighting."

Deng Ai smiled disapprovingly, and said, "If that's the case, you can help me analyze the enemy's situation."

The first step of analyzing the enemy's situation is the duty of the scout captain, and the second step is the duty of joining the army or military division in the army.Therefore, Xia Houyun was a little stunned on the spot, because he was actually just a little captain in charge of fifty guards in Deng Ai's army!
But Xia Houyun's reaction was actually very fast, and he immediately understood that Deng Ai was testing himself.He also wanted to show off in front of Deng Ai, he couldn't lose too much to this Deng Ai.After all, I am with Shizi now, but I have temporarily replaced the other party's position.

Therefore, Xia Houyun immediately analyzed for Deng Ai.

In the army of the death-death army, there are almost no cavalry, and most of them are infantry.Judging from the previous situation in which Gaimeng's cavalry fought against it, this army's defense and offensive capabilities are not weak, but its mobility is not strong, and it is easy to have flaws.

Today, the death-defying army has already set down three villages in Yuliang Mountain.Their two flanks, like the two pincers of a poisonous scorpion, are the main combat force.Therefore, as soon as the war starts, both battalions can respond quickly and join the battlefield, posing a great threat to the attacking side.

However, the arrangement of the Death Army has a fatal flaw: it is to guard against the front but not the rear, and guarding the left cannot guard the right.

If the opponent is attacking the middle, their way of forming a stronghold can indeed exert the greatest power. On the contrary, if they attack from the flanks or behind, it will be very difficult to respond; if the enemy surprises from behind, their defense ability will be even weaker.It is possible for my family to easily go directly to the Dazhai of the Chinese army and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

Xia Houyun showed his eloquence to the fullest, and quickly finished his views.In fact, after finishing speaking, Xia Houyun still felt a little elated.

Deng Ai felt that Xia Houyun was a bit amusing in his heart, and he just asked him to briefly analyze it, but he actually said so many things.

However, seeing that the other party is still young, and he is not a peerless genius like the eldest son Liu Chan, it is already very rare to be able to analyze it like this.

But Deng Ai didn't smile, but there was no expression on his face, so he just said indifferently: "Your analysis is not bad. But why did Lu Dai's death squad suddenly go down to the stockade?"

Xia Houyun was taken aback by Deng Ai's rhetorical question, and subconsciously asked, "Why?"

Deng Ai smiled slightly and said: "I'm afraid there are two reasons: first, the reason why Lu Dai's army was dispatched was to build various fortifications in the mountainous area to prevent my family from entering the boundary of Yangzhou from the south; the second possibility Lu Dai's death-death army has already discovered my family's whereabouts. But the possibility of this is very small. Otherwise, they will definitely overwhelm our army first, kill our army first, and be caught off guard. Instead of waiting in the mountain village Our troops have passed."

Xia Houyun originally wanted to show off himself to prove that his ability was definitely not inferior to Deng Ai, but he was educated by Deng Ai on the spot.

Xia Houyun couldn't help but feel a little feverish, and said with a trace of shame: "Lieutenant Deng's analysis is correct, Weijiang really didn't think of this."

At night, the autumn wind suddenly picked up, blowing off the yellow leaves on the broad-leaved trees on the mountain.Passing through the dense tree trunks and leaves, the silver moonlight shines on the ground.The weather has started to cool down.

Deng Ai calculated the time in his mind, then turned to ask the deputy general Zhou Tao beside him: "Are all the soldiers ready to attack?"

Zhou Tao was already impatient with waiting, and replied very confidently: "The soldiers have already made preparations, and now we are waiting for your order from Captain Deng."

A rare smile appeared on the corner of Deng Ai's mouth, and he ordered: "It's so good! Zhou Tao, you will take a troop of 2000 horses and detour behind Yuliang Mountain. When the time comes, there will be movement in the barracks on the two wings of the enemy. You must not attack forcefully, as long as you make a roundabout charge and disturb their defense. Because I will lead the auxiliary troops to attack to attract the full attention of the Death Army. At that time, you and I will attack twice, and the enemy Defeat!"

Seeing Deng Ai speaking so confidently, Zhou Tao suddenly showed a bright smile on his face.Then, Zhou Tao immediately took Deng Ai's order, held the hilt of his sword, turned around and left quickly.

Then, Zhou Tao turned around and got on his horse. The two thousand soldiers who were already ready to go had already received Deng Ai's order, and they were all waiting there to go.

Zhou Tao immediately took the lead, and the infantry behind quickly followed.Not long after, the 2000 men and horses had already left cleanly.

Time passed bit by bit, and Deng Ai reckoned that Zhou Tao had set off for about an hour.

Since I had a discussion with Deng Ai before, Xia Houyun is the kind of person with a lively mind and strong communication skills, so I don’t feel that there is such a big gap between me and Deng Ai.On the contrary, he decided in his heart that anyone who has talked to him once can actually be regarded as an acquaintance.

Xia Houyun is a person with such a "thick-skinned" mind.

Now, Xia Houyun has become a little impatient for waiting.He really dared to go forward to chat with Deng Ai, and asked, "Captain Deng, will Zhou Tao's men succeed in their detour?"

Deng Ai has always liked to be alone.He was standing alone next to a very tall pine tree, looking at the moonlight on the ground, thinking about the time of his attack.

Therefore, Deng Ai never expected that Xia Houyun would come to strike up a conversation with him.He himself was actually a little nervous, but he pretended to be very confident and said: "Zhou Tao will definitely succeed."

Half an hour later, Deng Ai dispatched his main force and marched towards the front of Lu Dai's death squad barracks in the dark.

However, Deng Ai did not personally lead the army to attack.He just stayed behind and waited for news of the battle ahead.It seems that he has confidence in his own arrangement that will win.

As time went by, the scouts continued to send the situation of the battle ahead to Deng Ai's hands.

The results showed that Deng Ai's arrangement was very ingenious. The cooperation between his frontal main force and Zhou Tao's circuitous force was quite good!
Although Deng Ai was in the rear, he didn't dare to relax at all.He continued to make judgments based on intelligence, and then sent additional necessary reserves to the battlefield to fight.

Later, it was really meaningless for Xia Houyun to be absolutely in the rear. After obtaining Deng Ai's consent, he led his fifty guards to the front line to watch the battle.

When it was just dawn, the front line finally brought Deng Ai the expected good news. Zhou Tao's army successfully broke into the middle camp of Lu Dai's death squad.The Death Army was then defeated.

So with the news of this, it actually means that today's battle is coming to an end.

Deng Ai once again made military exploits.He seemed very excited, and before the battle was over, he immediately called for a document and asked him to write a document and report it to the eldest son Liu Chan, saying that he had already defeated Lu Dai's army.

In fact, the war lasted until noon of the day, and Lu Dai's death-defying army had a relatively tenacious fighting will.

In this battle, Deng Ai's army wiped out a total of 1000 enemy troops and captured nearly [-] people. Lv Dai's deputy Gao Ying died in battle, and Lv Dai led the remaining defeated soldiers and fled back to Liling City.

Later, after interrogating the captives, Deng Ai's previous guess turned out to be correct: the reason why Lu Dai sent troops from Liling was to build fortifications on Yuliang Mountain, so as to prevent the Shu Han army from turning around and attacking south if they were unable to go north. .

However, when Sun Jiao gave this order to Lu Dai, he never expected that Liu Chan would take decisive action against the Death Army.Therefore, Lu Dai's action this time was completely outweighed by the gains, and almost completely ruined a good death squad.
