Looking at the Wei army who were forming formation outside the city and making preparations for the attack, Wei Ba was a little surprised for a moment, and then he understood the reason for Deng Zhi's anger earlier. The Wei army outside the city only had five or six thousand people at best. With such a size
, can only be the vanguard, responsible for inquiring about information, clearing roads, preparing camping sites, and making corresponding preparations for the arrival of the main force, but it is absolutely impossible for them to attack the city.
But General Wei did this, for two reasons: either the opponent's general was too stupid, or the opponent thought Deng Zhi was too weak.
Regardless of whether the opponent's general was stupid or not, Deng Zhi must have thought it was the latter reason.
So he was angry.
Wei Ba was both happy and a little worried about Deng Zhi's anger. He was happy because he was angry, so he would go all out to fight for his honor. What he was worried about was that he used too much force and it was not beautiful. As for him
He said that he did not believe that Sima Yi would send such a stupid general, so let's forget about Hu Zun. Jin Dongliu knew very well that that man would never make such a stupid mistake. He would rather believe that they wanted to deliberately anger Deng Zhi.
He secretly glanced at Deng Zhi. Deng Zhi clenched his hands into fists and supported himself on the city wall. He leaned forward, biting his cheeks tightly, and his eyes seemed to burst out of fire. However, he did not yell, he just looked at him.
Following the Wei army's formation outside the city.
Wei Ba followed his gaze and saw a cavalry rushing out of the Wei army camp and heading straight for the city gate. Wei Ba suddenly became excited. In his previous life, when he listened to storytelling, the thing he heard most about was the duel between generals. After arriving here,
, then I realized that such a thing as single combat is something that only fools can do. If a strong general can conquer the world, how could Guan Yu walk away from Maicheng. The myth was shattered, but there was an indescribable loss. I didn’t expect that I would have the opportunity to see this scene today.
.
However, he soon became disappointed again. The other party was not here to fight, but to issue an ultimatum. He said a lot, but his meaning was actually very simple: Surrender, or I will destroy you, and so on.
Wei Ba saw Deng Zhi's eyes twitching, knowing that he was extremely angry, and he couldn't help but feel a little unworthy of him. Being bullied to this extent, even a clay figure must have a bit of a country temper. However, don't look at the people in the city.
Six thousand or seven people are more than enough to defend the city. If they go out of the city and stand with the Wei army, they really don't have much advantage.
"General, do you want to send someone to shoot him to death?" Wei Ba asked concernedly, worried that Deng Zhi would suffer a cerebral hemorrhage from anger.
"No need." Deng Zhi's temples were still beating, but a smile appeared on his face, although the smile looked a bit ferocious. "If you miss the shot, you will be laughed at by him. This is a little trick to scold the formation.
, it’s okay if you don’t look at it.”
Wei Ba nodded repeatedly and praised half-heartedly: "The general should be able to keep his composure. If it had been anyone else, he would probably have fallen into the opponent's way of provoking the general."
Deng Zhi glanced at Wei Ba meaningfully, probably hearing Wei Ba's reminder. He stroked his beard and thought for a while. "It seems that some people don't take me, Deng Zhi, seriously, which is a good thing. Ziyu, take care of me."
The people who are guarding you are observing the formation from behind, and no one is allowed to come forward without my order."
Wei Ba raised his eyebrows: "General?"
"Underestimating the enemy is a taboo for military strategists. Since the other side doesn't take me seriously, of course I have to take advantage of it." Deng Zhi turned his head and looked at the mountains in the east: "If I can eat them before Sima Yi's army arrives,
Removing his forwards will be of great benefit to the upcoming war."
Wei Ba understood and nodded in agreement.
Deng Zhi immediately ordered to adjust the city defense. The people below the city cursed for a long time without even receiving a reply. They became more and more arrogant and even rushed to the moat, within the range of the crossbow. Deng Zhi turned a deaf ear to this, and the people on the city turned a deaf ear.
But the soldiers couldn't hold back. They were all Zhao Yun's subordinates originally. They were assigned to an old man like Deng Zhi who had never led an army before. They were a little unhappy at first. Now seeing Deng Zhi being scolded like this, he didn't even fight back.
, as soft as dough, and they were even more angry. They stepped forward one after another to ask for a fight, beating their chests and saying that they would go out of the city and behead the birdman to vent their anger for the general.
Deng Zhi rejected them all and even issued an order: Anyone who dares to shoot an arrow outside the city will be killed!
With this order, the Shu Han army was discouraged, and the Wei army outside the city became even more angry and arrogant. The knight pointed at the sky and the earth, scolding him until his mouth was dry, and then he retreated to the formation. Seeing this scene, the Wei army's morale was high and he shouted, "Long live the mountain"
.Amid the cheers, three hundred crossbowmen rushed to the moat, set up their formation, fired in unison to suppress the city head, and covered their companions in pushing the trench-filling truck to the moat.
Seeing that the opponent was preparing to fill the trench, the city was no longer silent, and the crossbowmen began to fire to block the attack. Deng Zhi ordered that all the powerful crossbows with a weight of four stones or more be put away. In this way, the power of the arrows shot was greatly weakened.
When the arrows reached the moat, some of them had already begun to fly. The threat to the Wei army was really limited, but it made the Wei army laugh.
Amid laughter, the Wei army easily set up a pontoon bridge on the moat. Immediately afterwards, the war drums sounded, and a group of Wei soldiers pushed a siege vehicle, shouted neat chants, and approached the city gate in an orderly manner. When the siege vehicle
After crossing the moat and approaching the city gate, the drums on the city head beat louder. The soldiers leaned out of the city wall, firing arrows and throwing stones at the slowly approaching siege vehicles.
The rocks hit the wooden shields of the siege vehicles, making a thumping sound, but they could not prevent the siege vehicles from approaching further. They only caused some obstacles for the soldiers beside the vehicles. The Wei soldiers did not pay attention to such interference at all.
Here, they shouted in unison, faster and faster.
Seeing that the counterattack on the city had intensified, the archers also rushed across the moat and fired upwards about thirty steps below the city to cover the attack of their companions.
Deng Zhi ordered that only more than 500 people were left in the city to stop the attack, and the others all retreated to the back and were not allowed to participate in the battle. As a result, the counterattack on the city was not only insufficient, but also appeared to be in a hurry until the opponent was approaching the city.
door, and finally used boulders to smash the siege vehicle, blocking an attack.
The Wei army was not discouraged by this failure. On the contrary, they were elated that they could reach the city in the first attack. They cheered loudly and their morale increased further. Hu Zun stood on the command vehicle and watched the flags waving in the distance, as if
Chengtou, who had not yet recovered from his fear, was filled with joy. This situation further verified his suspicion that Deng Zhi was a useless old man, and it was God who gave him the credit.
"Continue to attack!" Hu Zun gave the majestic order, the sound of war drums exploded over the battlefield, and another wave of attacks began.
Jin Dongliu sat on the horse and looked at Wuguan City in the distance with suspicion. He couldn't figure out what was going on now. The first trial attack achieved such results. Could it be that Deng Zhi was really useless?
Wei Ba just had no one available, or did he arrange for him to guard Wuguan just because of his status? Or because Meng Da and others were in Fangling, he felt that Sima Yi did not dare to attack in a large scale, so he arranged for the weakest Deng Zhi
it's here?
Hu Zunyi was in high spirits and wanted to seize Wuguan and avenge his previous humiliation. Jin Dongliu was hesitant and could not figure out the real situation in the city. He was stuck between two choices and speculated on various possibilities. Deng Zhi in the city was however
He further weakened the manpower at the city gate and tried his best to show weakness. Every time, he had to wait until the Wei army attacked the city wall before sending more men to barely protect the city gate.
Under his arrangement, the Wei army got closer and closer to the city gate, and finally banged the city gate during the third attack, which seemed to indicate that Wuguan City was in danger, further strengthening Hu Zun's desire to capture Wuguan before the main force arrived.
Confidence.
After a day's battle, the Wei army launched more than ten attacks and hit the city gate eight times. They successfully broke through the barbican city and occupied a section of the city wall. They even reached the top of the main city twice, just because of the desperate efforts of the city top.
The counterattack was in vain.
However, Hu Zun's confidence grew to the extreme. He ordered a night battle to conquer Wuguan before the arrival of General Hussar tomorrow and give General Hussar a great gift.
The generals of the Wei army agreed with a bang, and even the always cautious Jin Dongliu did not object. The battle situation during the day had proved that Deng Zhi was an idiot with no battlefield experience. The number of troops in the city was estimated to be no more than two thousand, and probably only
There are more than a thousand people, and they are all inexperienced newcomers. With the powerful combat effectiveness of the Wei army, it is entirely possible to take Wuguan.
Hu Zun laughed loudly and said to the generals: "Everyone, let's have a good meal, so we don't need to set up camp. We can break Wuguan and sleep in the city."
The generals laughed and agreed. Jin Dongliu remained silent. He still had some questions in his heart, but he knew that now everyone was tempted by the achievement of conquering Wuguan. He said nothing.
No one will listen, and Hu Zun will only laugh at me.
All he could do was to return to his own position and order all his soldiers to be prepared for emergencies without any negligence.
This caution will soon prove to be very wise.
Just when Hu Zunxin vowed to enter Wuguan City to rest, Deng Zhi also assigned a task with a murderous look on his face. The frustrating battle during the day made every soldier suffocate, and their dissatisfaction with Deng Zhi also accumulated to the extreme.
Facing Deng Zhi at this moment, they lost the respect they had in the past. Their noses were not noses, their eyes were not eyes, and there was unconcealable contempt in their silence.
Deng Zhi put his helmet on his head, put his hands behind his back, walked back and forth two steps, stood at the foot of the steps, facing the generals in the court, he said in a deep voice: "I know, many of you are scolding me Deng Zhi now.
Ancestor of Zhi.”
The generals expressed their agreement with silence.
"However, I, the Deng family of Nanyang, descended from Deng Yuanhou, a famous minister of ZTE. The family has been prosperous for two hundred years, which is far from what any of you can match." Deng Zhi pointed to his nose: "I, Deng Zhi, will once again prove the glory of our ancestors.
, let you see what a true famous general is."
There were sneers in the court.
Deng Zhi sneered again and again, stroking the ring of the sword, and raised the corner of his mouth: "Five thousand people defend the city, even if ten thousand people come to attack, defending the city is not considered a skill. Only by eating the enemy in one bite can it be considered capable. Who of you can be sure?
Can you eat all the Wei troops outside the city?"
The generals looked at each other, they had no such ability. Some people realized the meaning of Deng Zhi's words and couldn't help but raise their heads and looked at Deng Zhi in surprise. Those who didn't understand also felt the strange atmosphere and closed their eyes tightly.
He closed his mouth and looked at Deng Zhi eagerly.
"Huainanzi said: The way to use war is to show it with softness and respond with strength; show it with weakness and take advantage of it with strength. During the day, we show weakness in order to take advantage of strength tonight. We have to open the city gate and lure the enemy. Enter the city, then close the door and beat the dog, cut off Hu Zun’s head, and let him see what it means to be a real elite!"
Deng Zhi raised his arms and shouted: "Behead the general!"
The generals were overjoyed, raised their arms high, and shouted in unison: "Capture the flag!"
