Chapter 1325: The dazzling twin generals, Deng Ai at the end of the road
From ancient times to the present, people who can be called famous generals will definitely not be able to shock the world as soon as they appear on the scene.
Only by experiencing battle after battle can a genius gradually grow up. Otherwise, no matter how smart and strategic you are, it will be nothing more than talk on paper...
As General Jia Xu's orders continued to be passed on, Jiang Wei and Zhong Hui were naturally gearing up, feeling faintly excited about the coming offensive and defensive battle at Huguan...
Following the example, the Han army, which was recharging its strength in Jiang County, immediately began a series of actions...
...
...
Bingzhou, Shangdang County, Huguan.
Deng Ai, the general of Pingxi, stood at the top of the city with his sword pressed, his eyes staring into the distance, the cloak behind him rustling in the wind...
The soldiers of Cao's army who were guarding the city all had resolute expressions on their faces, holding swords and guns in their hands, looking warily towards the bottom of the city...
The Han army, which had been silent for more than a month, suddenly made a big move.
Nearly 100,000 Han troops rushed in like a tide, surrounding Huguan. Even if a bird flapped its wings, it would be difficult to escape from the tight Han army formation...
At the four gates in the southeast and northwest, Han army camps were densely spread for dozens of miles. The red dragon banner of the Han Dynasty was raised, covering the sky and blocking out the sun!
"Now that things have come to this, what can we do now!?"
Deng Ai felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.
When Jia Xu does things, he will not leave the slightest chance to the enemy!
The Han army just surrounded Cao's army in Huguan, supervising the construction of siege equipment every day. At other times, they should eat and sleep, and they did not attack Huguan...
Doing this actually caused strong mental pressure on Cao Jun's soldiers in Huguan.
Being mentally stressed over the long term will definitely put people in a state of exhaustion.
Slowly, Deng Ai was forced to the end of the road!
"How is the situation in Jinyang City?"
Deng Ai frowned and asked the sentry of the school affairs office beside him.
The secret agent of the school affairs office said helplessly: "I lost dozens of brothers, and it took a lot of risks to get the information about Jinyang City back..."
"General Pi Chu died in battle!"
"General Cao Hong died in battle!"
"Jinyang City...has fallen into the hands of the great Han Chen Qingzhi..."
After hearing the news from the secret agent of the school affairs office, Deng Ai's originally hopeful heart completely sank into the abyss...
Even the city of Jinyang has been broken. If the Han army is given another period of time, the Yanmen and Taiyuan counties in Bingzhou will all be in the hands of the Han army. In such a large Bingzhou, only Shangdang County is still considered the territory of Cao's army. ...
There are still tens of thousands of Cao Wei defenders in Huguan, which can be called elites.
However, even if there are elites, they are useless?
The first batch of grain and grass shipped from Jinyang City was only enough to last for a month!
For a moment, Deng Ai's mind raced and he thought of countless possibilities, but in the end he was unable to do anything...
"Go and invite the military advisor..."
Faced with such a desperate situation, Deng Ai could only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and placed his hope on Xi Zhicai, the great military advisor of Cao Wei...
"Here!"
The secret agent of the school affairs office hurriedly turned around to deliver the message.
After a while, Xi Zhicai hurriedly walked to the top of the city and stood side by side with Deng Ai.
Xi Zhicai observed Deng Ai's expression and asked, "Shizai... is this?"
Deng Ai sighed with emotion: "The two generals, the military advisor, Pi Chu, and Cao Hong, were all killed in battle, and the city of Bingzhou Jinyang... has been broken..."
What!?
Xi Zhicai was slightly startled, and then his heart was shaken!
"This...how is this possible!?"
Xi Zhicai's mind went blank and he still couldn't believe his ears...
You know, in the city of Jinyang behind Bingzhou, Cao Cao's army had accumulated 100,000 troops. How could it be defeated?
Deng Ai smiled bitterly and said: "I don't want to believe it either... However, it is true. Chen Qingzhi quickly attacked the hinterland of Bingzhou, diverted the tiger away from the mountain, and destroyed the city. In the final battle, he killed Pi Chu and Cao Hong, and Jinyang City had fallen.
It's in the hands of the Han army..."
"Military advisor, what do you think we should do now?"
what to do!?
Xi Zhicai is also very desperate...
Even the best counselor is not omnipotent.
Faced with such a decisive situation arranged by Jia Xu, Xi Zhicai racked his brains and couldn't think of any clever plan to break the situation...
Xi Zhicai thought for a while and then said: "For the present plan... Huguan can no longer be defended. General Deng Ai, prepare to break out and throw himself directly to Guandu, Hebei!"
"One hundred thousand Han troops surrounded Huguan!"
Deng Ai smiled bitterly and said: "I won't attack either. I just make flying thunder chariots every day. The three armies have not fought yet, and fear has arisen in my heart..."
Xi Zhicai stabilized his mind and said calmly: "Send another general out of the city to fight. General Deng Ai, you take the opportunity to break out and save the last bit of energy for King Wei. This is the last resort...otherwise our army
There is no point in being trapped in Huguan without food, like a turtle in a jar..."
In the end, he was the great military advisor of Cao Wei, Xi Zhicai, or Lao Cheng seeking the country.
While the two of them were observing the strength of the Han army and planning a breakout, Cao's army in the city suddenly broke into chaos!
"Pi Chu and General Cao Hong were all beheaded, and Jinyang City was broken!!"
"It's over now! We don't have food, how can we defend Huguan!?"
"What's the use of guarding it?"
"Even if you die, you will die in vain..."
"I heard that our army's rations of dried meat are all made of human flesh..."
"No wonder it tastes weird, vomit... vomit... it's so disgusting!!"
"Isn't this... this is too crazy!?"
...
...
Cao's army in Huguan was in chaos faster than expected.
The strategy of attacking the heart has achieved great results.
Many people wanted to beat themselves up after eating it, and immediately dug their throats and retched...
The scene suddenly became chaotic.
"..."
Faced with such a situation, Deng Ai felt a loud bang in his mind, as if he had been struck by lightning. His whole body was unsteady and he almost fell down...
Deng Ai took a deep breath, finally calmed down, and asked: "Military advisor...is this possible?"
Xi Zhicai was also frightened. He shook his head and said: "Zhongda and Zhongde are responsible for the military rations. I don't know too much..."
Having said that, both of them are rare smart people.
Recalling that the period of preparing military rations happened to be the time when King Budugen of Xianbei was defeated, Deng Ai was already convinced: it was definitely not Xianbei cattle and sheep husbandry!
It was clear that Sima Yi and Cheng Yu conspired to massacre the Xianbei Golden Tribe and then made them into dried meat...
