Chapter 156: Busy preparations, tooth general Deng Jie
As Bian Xi's orders were conveyed one by one, the army and auxiliary soldiers began to get busy at a rapid pace.
Digging trenches is not difficult. Lingbi City is not far from Bianshui, and the soil around the city is relatively soft. Mining wood and stone is not difficult. There are a lot of stones and wood on Lingbi Mountain, and there are no There were regulations such as prohibiting felling. In just one day, a large amount of stone and wood was transported back. The construction of the urn city at the four city gates also began. However, just as it started, Bian Xi stopped it.
In order to defend Lingbi, Bian Xi decided to directly seal the other three city gates. This would greatly reduce the pressure on defending the city. However, the shortcomings are also extremely obvious! Once the city is broken, there will be no chance of escape. .
Shen Tang wanted to persuade him, but when he saw Bian Xi's firm expression, he could only smile bitterly and shake his head.
While everyone was busy, Shen Tang found the tooth general Deng Jie!
"General Deng!"
Seeing Shen Tang's arrival, Deng Jie chuckled. He had seen Shen Tang's bravery in the previous battle with the Jin soldiers, and Shen Tang was also responsible for planning the situation of this battle. Therefore, he admired Shen Tang very much!
"Master Shen is here? If you have anything to advise me, Old Deng!"
"Just about to talk to General Deng!"
The two found a military tent, and then Shen Tang directly asked: "General Deng, how do you plan to fight in the next battle?"
Deng Jie was stunned, but his tiger eyes showed some doubts, "This is of course a fight to the death. There are no cowards under my command, Deng Jie! Besides, we have Lingbi Mountain as a barrier. Although the golden soldiers are cavalry, under my command, Deng Jie But I can’t get any advantage from Jie.”
Deng Jie was obviously a fierce general under Bian Xi, and when he spoke, he had a heart-stopping evil spirit.
Shen Tang nodded and smiled, "Of course I don't doubt General Deng's bravery, but what if the Jin soldiers don't fight General Deng?"
Shen Tang's question completely stunned Deng Jie! No fighting? How is this possible? The two sides are mortal enemies, and those Jin soldiers are not afraid of the Song army, so how could they not fight?
"General Deng, if the Jin soldiers come, the most important thing for them is of course to capture Lingbi City first. As for the general, it is naturally difficult to fight in the mountains, and as long as Lingbi City is captured, the general will become a leader. A lone army, other than wandering in the mountains, will eventually become the prey of the Jin soldiers."
Deng Jie was obviously not good at thinking about these things, so he just nodded in a muffled voice.
"Well... Since Mr. Shen said so, I will go find the Marshal right away. We might as well not leave the city at all. We will just stay in the city and defend the city with the Marshal..."
When Shen Tang heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
If we talk about bravery, the man in front of us is definitely not inferior to anyone. However, in addition to bravery, strategy and wisdom are indispensable things in war. Otherwise, there would not be so many situations where less can defeat more through the ages. of war.
"General, Shen Tang did not mean this..."
"Hehe..." Deng Jie grinned, "Master Shen, you are Mr. Jie Yuangong, and Lao Deng, I have only a handful of strength, but my brain is not bright. So, if you have anything to say, just say it, you He is a handsome brother, and he will never harm our Zaoyang Army."
Although Shen Tang couldn't laugh or cry, what Deng Jie said was straightforward. Immediately, Shen Tang said bluntly: "Securing the Lingbi is the most important thing for the Jin Bing. Even if they discover the whereabouts of General Deng and others, the Jin Bing is most likely to The only way to do this is to send a partial army. If General Deng's soldiers can be easily wiped out, they will naturally fight as soon as possible. However, once they find that the general is stationed on the mountain and his horses are heading south, then the Jin soldiers will probably not be reluctant. Go up the mountain to fight."
"After all, as long as there is a partial army traveling between Lingbi Mountain and Lingbi City, then the general's army will have almost no effect."
"So, in addition to garrisoning in the mountains, I'm afraid General Deng also needs to be prepared for a field battle with the Jin soldiers!"
Shen Tang's words made Deng Jie yank his dark short beard a few times, grinning and said: "This... Mr. Shen, if it's not Old Deng, I'm showing weakness. If we dismount and fight on foot, there will be twice as many golden soldiers. I, Old Deng, will never blink an eye. But if my Song Dynasty infantry and Jin soldiers and cavalry are fighting in the field, there is nothing I can do about it. Of course, Mr. Shen can rest assured that even if it is a field battle, I, Old Deng, will never be vague! No way! Just two of them fight each other, or three of them fight each other, and my thousands of troops can always make the Jin Kingdom’s cavalry lose a piece of meat.”
Shen Tang waved his hands speechlessly. I really don't know whether it was the Song Dynasty's luck or misfortune to have such a loyal and brave general who did not think about flexibility.
"General Deng, please listen to me! If the Jin army really does not fight and is just wandering between Lingbi Mountain and Lingbi City, then General Deng only needs to do this...and this..."
"In this way, unless the Jin soldiers come together at all costs, otherwise General Deng will be staring at it with a nail, putting the Jin soldiers in a dilemma, like a knife in the throat, and even General Deng can cause the Jin soldiers to lose Tragic. In this way, the situation in Lingbi City will naturally be alleviated."
Listening to Shen Tang's narration, Deng Jie's eyes widened.
After a long while, he suddenly slapped the table, "Okay! Okay! I would like to thank Mr. Shen for reminding me. This time, as long as the golden soldier dares to come, Lao Deng will let him lose a piece of meat no matter what. In this way, as long as the opportunity is right, , How can we, the infantry of the Song Dynasty, be afraid of the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom?"
As he said this, this tall and thick man saluted Shen Tang solemnly, "Deng Jie has thousands of soldiers under his command. Thank you very much, sir."
Shen Tang stood up with a few words of humility, "General Deng, you can make preparations now and conduct a detailed survey of the terrain around Lingbi Mountain. I won't bother the general and will go and talk to General Jirong." !”
Deng Jie was overjoyed. Shen Tang's job was obviously to give him and Jirong advice. And this Shen Tang's strategy was indeed extremely practical. In this way, his chances of winning were greatly increased.
When Shen Tang was about to walk out of the tent, Deng Jie suddenly said: "Mr. Shen, originally Lao Deng thought that you were taking advantage of your sworn sworn relationship with the Marshal. But now Lao Deng knows that you are indeed worthy of being the Marshal's brother. .Moreover, with Master Shen’s guidance, our Zaoyang Army will definitely be able to defeat the enemy! Old Deng dare not say anything else, but if Master Shen has something to do in the future, Old Deng will definitely not be stingy with his strength.”
Seeing the banging sound of Deng Jie's palm on his chest, Shen Tang showed a smile on his face. Although Deng Jie was vulgar, he was straightforward and cute. When dealing with these straight-tempered soldiers, he was indeed better than those sour ones. The literati are much more comfortable.
After leaving Deng Jie's tent, Shen Tang went all the way to the military camp where Jirong was.
