Chapter 16 Deng Zhong's Decision
Chapter 16 Deng Zhong’s decision
The Xiqi camp was built near mountains and rivers, and the back camp was close to the hills. Although the hills were not big and had lush vegetation, it was not a big problem to hide thousands of men and horses. The hill was at a high place, and Deng Zhong stood on the top of it, covering the entire
The enemy camp can be seen at a glance.
The sound of fighting coming from the front camp was earth-shattering. Ji Li couldn't hold it any longer. He walked back and forth in the forest to attract Deng Zhong's attention, but Deng Zhong didn't respond. He was so angry that he said: "General Deng, Mrs.
The division leads a large army to fight with the enemy, expecting us to sneak attack on the enemy camp's food and fodder and destroy the enemy's morale. You have been staring at the enemy camp for so long and you haven't made up your mind yet!"
He was already suspicious of Deng Zhong, but now that he was delaying in issuing orders, Ji Li's dissatisfaction had already heated up.
Deng Zhong said: "General Ji, wait a moment."
Perhaps the original owner had a somewhat impulsive personality, but Deng Zhong accepted everything from him, had the mindset of future generations, and was extremely calm when encountering major events. Although the two armies were fighting, it did not affect his mood at all.
After all, the front camp is the front camp, and my task is to burn the enemy camp's food and grass. As long as the food and grass are destroyed, tonight's battle will be won by the merchant camp.
Ji Li hummed: "If you wait any longer, the battle over there will be almost over."
Deng Zhongdao: "How can a war involving hundreds of thousands of people end so easily?"
Ji Li had a gloomy face, holding his sword with his hand, staring at the enemy camp. If he were the main general, he would have led his army to rush towards the enemy camp down the mountain. It was only a few hundred meters away and could be reached in a moment.
Time passed little by little, and Deng Zhong felt that the time was almost right, so he said to Ji Li: "General Ji, I will lead 3,000 elite troops to sneak attack the enemy camp, while you will lead the remaining 2,000 troops and continue to lie dormant."
Senior brother Yu Qing died in the hands of this person. If this person was guarding the food and grass, tonight's sneak attack would most likely fail.
He hoped that the person who attacked the rear camp was Deng Zhong, so that this threat could be eliminated. He felt a little regretful that he was unable to deal with this person in the enemy camp last time.
Ji Li retorted: "If the enemy is not fooled."
Maybe I heard that the people from Taishi's sect were already on their way here, or maybe they were hiding nearby, waiting for an opportunity.
Deng Zhong spit out two words: "Yang Jian."
Yang Jian has seen his own combat effectiveness. He naturally knows that if he goes to the front camp, he will harm the Xiqi Army. He will definitely find a way to keep him. Furthermore, although Yang Jian is smart, in this era, the art of war has not yet developed its own style. On the battlefield
The main thing is to be upright, not to mention conspiracies.
Deng Zhongdao: "I planned to lead three thousand elites into the enemy camp and made the intention to burn the enemy's granary. The Xiqi army must resist bravely. But seeing that I couldn't do anything, I led the troops to withdraw from the rear camp and move to the forward camp.
Move closer and join the Grand Master's men and horses."
Huang Tianxiang said: "General Yang, the 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 shadow of the enemy. Do you think they will not come?"
Deng Zhongdao: "Yes, this is our only chance."
When Huang Tianxiang heard this, he immediately cheered up.
Food and grass were the only hope for the survival of hundreds of thousands of merchant troops. How could Grand Master Wen not understand that at this juncture, besides Xiqi Camp, where else could he obtain food and grass?
Ji Li was not stupid. Deng Zhong had been lurking here for an hour before he decided to take action. This showed that he had an idea in his mind. He was not sure how the other party planned to deal with Yang Jian, so Ji Li was a little curious.
Huang Tianxiang and Huang Tianhua are brothers from the same mother. They are the fourth eldest children in the family. Although they are mortal generals, they are highly skilled in martial arts and proficient in marksmanship. The spear in their hand is a rare magic weapon refined in the furnace of the Supreme Saint.
Deng Zhong said: "I am the commander-in-chief, so I will naturally do this. General Ji, please remember my words."
When Ji Li heard this, he became anxious and said hurriedly: "Deng Zhong, the grand master asked you and me to attack the camp together, but you asked me to stay here and want to take the credit!"
Ji Li was startled, thought about it carefully, and said, "You mean, you bring three thousand men and horses to act as decoys to disperse the enemy camp's troops, and then I will lead the men to attack the camp a second time and destroy the enemy's food and fodder in one fell swoop."
…
Yang Jian said: "They will come."
Food and grass is an important area in the military camp. Since Yang Jian is the grain inspector, how could he leave his post without authorization and pursue Deng Zhong at this critical moment of the war. Besides, although Deng Zhong was brave and entered the enemy camp, under Yang Jian's eyes, he might not be able to do anything.
You can escape successfully, let alone with three thousand elites.
Deng Zhong showed a bitter smile on his face and said, "Do you know who has always been responsible for the food and fodder of the Xiqi Army?"
Yang Jian was a versatile man in both civil and military affairs and had always been in charge of food and grass. Considering that he heard that the Grand Master was not a good person, Jiang Ziya sent Huang Tianxiang to assist Yang Jian in guarding the rear camp.
Ji Li was stunned, shook his head and said: "This is the secret of Xiqi Army, how do I know?"
Of course, this is just a tactic in Deng Zhong's mind. As for the direction on the battlefield, no one can tell.
Ji Li was surprised. Who was Yang Jian? He was a tougher man than Nezha. Even his master acknowledged Yang Jian's abilities and called him the most amazing person under Jiang Ziya's command.
"Take all the credit."
Deng Zhong said, "Since I have arranged it this way, I am at least 60% sure that if the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain fails, General Ji can quickly lead two thousand men and horses to join the Grand Master and tell him everything that happened in the rear camp."
As long as the opponent dares to come, Yang Jian is 100% sure that he can eat this enemy army in one bite.
After pondering for a long time, Ji Li said: "Then what are your plans?"
It was quiet on the mountain, completely separate from the enemy camp caught in the flames of war.
Surprise flashed across Ji Li's face and he said: "General Deng, why don't you let me act as bait?"
Ji Li knew clearly the consequences of acting as bait on the battlefield. At this time, he looked at Deng Zhong with a somewhat complicated look.
In the rear camp, the defense was the same as usual, except that Yang Jian and two thousand Xiqi elites were lying in ambush in the dark, quietly waiting for their prey to come.
…
There was such a big movement in the front camp. Yang Jian probably knew that someone would come to sneak attack the rear camp, but did he expect that there would be two teams of people in the rear camp? If he could even guess this, then why fight? Just find an unmanned one.
He will live in seclusion and wait until the Conferring God War is over before coming out.
What Deng Zhong said was simple, but it was extremely difficult to implement.
Ji Li cupped his hands and said, "General Deng, don't worry. If your plan succeeds, I, Ji Li, will burn the enemy camp's food and grass even if I risk my life."
Deng Zhong nodded, ordered three thousand men and horses, and rushed down the mountain in a mighty manner. He knew that facing Yang Jian alone, he might have a narrow escape, but there was no other way but to risk his life.
Master Wen sent himself to sneak attack on the enemy's food and forage, which must be a test. Risking his own life can change Ji Li's hostility towards him, and at the same time, Master Wen can see his loyalty and feel reassured about him, killing two birds with one stone.
Looking at the three thousand people rushing towards the enemy camp, Ji Li felt a little complicated. Could Deng Zhong, who was so heroic, be the one who killed Yu Qing? At this moment, the kind of person who wanted to find evidence to prove that Deng Zhong was the one who killed Yu Qing
Yu Qing's faith began to waver.
