At the foot of Xu Wu Mountain in Youbeiping, the sound of war drums came one after another, almost hoarse.
Battle flags are flying, war horses are galloping, and tens of thousands of troops are fighting fiercely.
Chen Tai stood on the hillside, looking at the fierce battle on the battlefield below the hillside, his face turned pale. His hands were tightly pinched together, and his knuckles turned pale.
This was his second fight with Deng Ai. The first time happened in Liaoxi County. Deng Ai advanced along the water and land, and the navy landed on Jieshi Mountain. He had long estimated that Deng Ai's plan had been established and deployed a blocking attack in Jieshi Mountain in advance.
Position. After Deng Ai looked at his position, he only attacked tentatively and immediately adjusted the direction. The navy turned around and advanced westward. The infantry and cavalry on the shore also gave up Jieshi Mountain and assaulted all the way westward, entering Youbeiping.
Of course, Chen Tai also made arrangements in Youbeiping. He waited for Deng Ai to go west and followed him, preparing to attack him in the Xu Wushan area, defeating Deng Ai's infantry and cavalry on the road first, and then find a way to lure the navy to the shore and cause serious damage.
.
His plan looked very good, and Deng Ai was intercepted by him near Xu Wushan. However, he found that something was wrong.
Deng Ai had about 10,000 infantrymen and 5,000 elite cavalrymen, while he had 20,000 infantrymen and 7,000 elite cavalrymen, and the total strength was nearly twice that of Deng Ai. Logically speaking, even if he could not completely wipe out Deng Ai's troops.
, it can also hurt him severely. However, the facts were beyond his expectations. Deng Ai's troops' strong combat power was far beyond his imagination. What surprised Chen Tai even more was that Deng Ai had set up a defense from the beginning
The camp used strong bows and crossbows to block the camp, and had no idea of attacking at all. Five thousand elite cavalry were placed in the back formation.
Chen Tai attacked for three days, but still failed to achieve the prior tactical goal. Just as he was about to retreat, Chen Dou led 5,000 navy troops to arrive.
The five thousand heavy armored cavalry led by Wei Feng were also arrived with Chen Biao.
The appearance of the heavy armored cavalry was very shocking. When the five thousand knights lifted the cloak covering their bodies and untied the horse's clothes. The heavy armor exposed the bright light, the entire battlefield suddenly lit up, and many Wei soldiers and soldiers
They couldn't even open their eyes. The heavy armored cavalry launched an attack from the southern part of the battlefield. The summer sun shone on them and then reflected into the eyes of the Wei soldiers. They could not look directly, but could only see a light coming towards them.
In this shocking scene, the five thousand knights launched an attack and rushed straight to the Wei army's back formation.
Chen Tai immediately ordered the right-wing cavalry to fight back. However, he soon discovered that he was wrong.
The three thousand cavalry on the right wing could not stop the five thousand heavy armored cavalry at all. Once the two sides fought, the gap in strength was fully demonstrated. Although the Wei army knights galloped on their horses and arrows fell like rain, they could not shake the formation of the heavy armored cavalry. Five thousand
The heavily armored cavalry rushed over in line, not very fast, but they were very determined. They rushed over from the Wei army's positions like sharp big swords, leaving no mercy. They left blood marks.
The Three Thousand Essential Knights could not stop them, so they could only watch these steel monsters rush into the back formation and rush the back formation to pieces.
And this is just the beginning of a nightmare.
When the heavy armored cavalry came on stage, the five thousand elite cavalry who had been left behind by Deng Ai also rushed out of the position under the leadership of Zhao Guang. They did not attack the Wei army's position, but were distressed to the Wei army's elite cavalry who had just been severely injured by the heavy armored cavalry.
The killer was made. Three thousand Wei army elite cavalry and heavy armor cavalry hedge, and the direct loss was more than a thousand people. The morale was even severely damaged. Where was the opponent of these Jin army knights who were raising energy and raising morale, right?
The son was killed and fell into pieces.
They couldn't even escape. These five thousand elite cavalry were born for pursuit. Their speed was no less than that of the Wei army knights, and even more than that.
In less than half an hour, the three thousand elite cavalry on the right wing of the Wei army were completely wiped out, and the back formation was also stormed by the heavy armored cavalry, tearing a big hole open. Chen Biao then commanded the five thousand infantrymen to rush over and strive toward the center.
Army advance.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Tai was attacked from both sides.
The chief clerk Liu Tao stood beside Chen Tai and sighed: "Empress, we have fallen into the trap."
Chen Tai nodded. He knew that he had fallen into the trap. Deng Ai was just a bait. His purpose was to entangle him and prevent him from leaving. The real main force was not the 15,000 infantry and cavalry led by Deng Ai, but
The men and horses led by Chen Biao and Wei Feng, especially the five thousand heavy armored cavalry led by Wei Feng.
These five thousand heavy armored cavalry look at the world and it is difficult to find an opponent. Their only weakness is that they are slow and impatient. If he and Deng Ai engage in guerrilla warfare, these heavy armored cavalry will be difficult to play a role, and they will not even be able to catch up with him at all.
.So Deng Ai used himself as bait to nail him here, waiting for the heavy armored cavalry to arrive calmly and give him a fatal blow.
Deng Ai's tactics are so good that he is not wrong. The only thing he is wrong is that these heavy armored cavalry actually arrived in Youzhou and suddenly appeared in front of him.
In his intelligence system, these heavy armored cavalry should have followed Wei Ba to Qingzhou, and now they should be in Luoyang.
Now he knew that his intelligence was inaccurate, at least incomplete. Otherwise, he would not have considered such an important factor. He estimated that in addition to transporting food, grass and supplies, the five thousand navy leaders led by Chen Dou were more likely to be
Responding to Wei Feng's landing, they could easily hide from the Wei army's scouts.
Whether it is the heavy armored cavalry or the navy, these are advantages that the Wei army does not have. With this advantage, how could he be unbeaten?
"Break through." Chen Tai waved his hand, looking depressed: "Break through before you have been driven out."
Liu Tao nodded without objection. At this point, there was no hope except breaking through. If the battle continued, there would be no possibility of annihilation of the entire army.
Amid the sound of war drums, the Wei army began to assault westward, preparing to meet with the soldiers who blocked the west.
Hearing the sound of the Wei army's war drums, Deng Ai smiled slightly and ordered the entire line to block the attack. Chen Tai would kill anyone who broke through from the position, and captured or killed Chen Tai alive, with the first merit.
Hearing this order, the Jin army soldiers were in high spirits and full of fighting spirit. They had been defensive formations from the beginning, and now they don’t need to adjust at all and can immediately enter the battle.
The crossbow chariot roared, and the crossbowmen roared, pulled the crossbow machine and shot a box of sharp arrows into the sky.
Small thunderbolt chariots were also roaring. They threw out not stone bombs, but fire bombs. This improved fire bomb not only burns, but also has iron nails inside and throws them on the ground, whether it is human feet or horse hooves.
It is easy to be pierced and is a powerful tool for blocking wars.
Seeing that the Wei army was preparing to break through, Wei Feng and others stepped up their attacks. Wei Feng made a breakthrough in attack, Zhao Guang chased, Chen Biao rushed over and cleared the battlefield. Heavy armored cavalry, elite cavalry and infantrymen fought one after another, and the offensive was like a tide, a wave of
The next wave made the Wei army overwhelmed.
In the evening of the war, the Wei army failed to break through, and most of the people, including Chen Tai, were captured.
Chen Tai's face was covered in blood, and he sat tiredly on the corpse of a war horse, gasping for breath. His arms were sore and numb that he was almost spasm. He could not waver the sword in his hand, and simply threw the sword that had been curled aside, with both hands
Holding it on your knees and closing your eyes.
A mess of footsteps came, and Liu Tao pushed Chen Tai's arm: "Empress, General Deng is here."
Chen Tai raised his head, squinted his eyes and looked at Deng Ai, raised his body, and smiled hoarsely: "Did the general come to take my head? Unfortunately, I have never given it to you with my own hands, and I have to work for the general."
Deng Ai smiled: "The winner has been decided, why should I take the first place again? Chen Jun, I have admired Ling Zu Taiqiu Gong for a long time, but it's a pity that I was born too late and could not meet him in person. I don't know if Chen Jun can appreciate the glory together.
Drink a cup and let me listen to the style of Taiqiu Gong too?"
"Hehe, the defeated general is humiliating his family, so how can he still have the courage to mention the ancestors of his family?" Chen Tai waved his hand: "Thank you for your good wishes. As the general said, the winner has been decided, but I am not worthy of death."
Deng Ai smiled: "Are the general preparing to sacrifice his country for Cao Wei, or is he preparing to sacrifice his country for today's son?"
“Is there any difference?”
"Of course there is a difference." Deng Ai took a small stool from his personal guard, sat opposite Chen Tai, and smiled and said, "If you want to sacrifice for Cao Wei, you may not be surnamed Cao today."
Chen Tai was stunned, then stood up and shouted sternly: "Deng Ai, the defeated general dare not have any extravagant hopes. However, a soldier can be killed but not humiliated. What is the reason for you to insult my master in person? The royal bloodline is not tolerated.
Is there an error?"
"Then what do you think, whose son is Cao Fang from Luoyang?"
"No...isn't it the descendant of Rencheng King Cao Kai?"
"Hahaha..." Deng Ai laughed, and he stood up and put his shoulders on Chen Tai: "Chen Jun, you may not believe it yourself, right? Do you want to know the truth? Then you can't die."
"You didn't lie to me?"
"Is it necessary?" Deng Ai shrugged and spread his hands indifferently: "You are not the only descendant of the Chen family in Yingchuan."
Chen Tai was shocked and inexplicably. He looked at Deng Ai carefully, and his heart became increasingly unsure. If Deng Ai was just to persuade him to surrender, there was no need to use this reason. Since he said that, this matter was most likely true.
As Deng Ai said, Chen Tai was also a little suspicious of Luoyang's emperor Cao Fang. The dignified emperor of a country could not tell the origin, which was a very suspicious thing in itself. He had been in the capital for a long time, so of course he knew that Cao Fang was Cao
The possibility of Kaizi is very small.
The most unlikely person in the Cao family is Cao Kai's son. Because, in the mind of Emperor Wen of Wei, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang may be more abominable than Cao Zhi. Cao Pi could keep Cao Zhi's life, but he could not tolerate Cao Zhang, otherwise he would not have been able to do so.
He poisoned him to death with his own hands, and in front of his biological mother, Empress Dowager Bian.
Cao Zhang can be said to be the only royal family killed by Cao Pi. Emperor Ming knew about these situations, how could he choose Cao Zhang’s grandson as his heir?
If Cao Fang is really not a child of Cao Wei, who will he be loyal to?
Chen Tai looked around in confusion and lowered his head for a while: "General Deng, I have to see the evidence with my own eyes to believe it."
"Yes, but you just need Chen Jun to wait for a while, the evidence is not in my own hands." Deng Ai sincerely stretched out his hand: "So, let's have a drink now?"
