Deng Ai stared at the Yuan army on the city wall with his eyes firmly and said, "The reason why we easily bypassed the Great Wall is because the Yuan army did not have the slightest defense. ”

"If you relax at that time, when Yuan Jun comes to his senses, he can use the front line of the Great Wall to send a small number of troops to easily contain us."

"Moreover, only by besieging Jixian can Feng Ji lead the troops back to help."

However, Feng Ji learned that Deng Ai led the troops to besiege Jixian County, and was worried that the capital of Youzhou would be lost, so he did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately took away the 4,000 soldiers in Ban's city.

Not only that, along the way, Feng Ji also recruited troops and horses in various counties, and before he arrived in Ji County, Feng Ji had already gathered 10,000 people.

"Ah Ai, the grain and grass carried by the army have been exhausted!"

Zhao Huang came to Deng Ai's side and said with some concern.

Deng Ai's brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "Have all the nearby villages been looted?" ”

Zhao Huang said helplessly: "The thief will use the strategy of clearing the wilderness with strong walls, most of the people in the village have been moved into the city, and the crops in the fields have not yet matured. ”

"We also want to go over and attack the small county town to get supplies, but there is a lack of siege equipment, each county is closed with the city gates, and there are people to help defend the city, it is difficult to break through the city."

The Yuan clan ruled Youzhou for many years, and also had a lot of prestige among the people, and the government forced orders, and the people had to help defend the city.

Rao is like this, and it is difficult for the cavalry led by Deng Ai to capture a city.

It has always been a taboo for soldiers to go deep alone, and the slightest carelessness will wipe out the whole army.

Therefore, when Feng Ji learned the news that Deng Ai led the cavalry into the hinterland of Youzhou, he was not too alarmed.

As long as Feng Ji is given a little time, Feng Ji has absolute confidence that he can wipe out all this army in Youzhou.

When Deng Ai heard this, he frowned and was silent.

Tang Chen had a fierce look in his eyes and said, "Ah Ai, we will simply burn all the crops in the field with one fire, so that there will be no harvest in Youzhou this year!" ”

Deng Ai shook his head and said, "These crops will belong to the lord sooner or later, wouldn't it be a pity to burn them?" ”

"Since there is no food, then pass on my military order, kill some of the war horses, and then send soldiers into the mountains to hunt!"

"Don't do that!"

Zhao Huang and Tang Chen stopped at the same time, they have always been cavalry commanders, and they know that the cavalry has a very deep affection for war horses.

If they rashly let the cavalry kill the horses, they would definitely not be willing.

The most important thing is that everyone is now alone in the depths, and the cavalry of the Yuan army has been brought into the pass, and now even if everyone encounters the enemy and is defeated, they can easily retreat.

However, if the war horse is killed, those soldiers who do not have the war horse will lose their ability to maneuver.

If the war changes, these soldiers will surely die.

Deng Ai said firmly: "Do as I say, kill the horses and eat, but at least two thousand strong war horses must be left." ”

Tang Chen wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Zhao Huang.

Although they have always called Deng Ai nicknamed, it is also because the two of them are old seniors and are much older than Deng Ai.

But before leaving, Chen Xu and Zhao Yun repeatedly told the two of them to obey Deng Ai's orders in everything and not to rely on the old and sell the old.

And Zhao Huang also knew that Deng Ai was not the kind of person who didn't know the severity, and during the detour time, he was also very satisfied with Deng Ai's performance.

Deng Ai did not point fingers at will at all because he was the head coach, but consulted Zhao Huang and Tang Chen for everything.

After all, Deng Ai didn't know much about the terrain outside the fortress, and if he handed over the matter to the two of them, he could do his best to retain the strength of his subordinates.

It's just that after the army entered the territory of Youzhou, Deng Ai began to be arbitrary, and the orders he issued were often unexpected.

It was only at this time that Zhao Huang suddenly woke up that Deng Ai was the commander of this army.

"Yes!"

Glancing at Tang Chen, Zhao Huang finally took the order and began to order the horses to be killed.

However, it was said that Feng Ji led the troops to Jixian County, and recruited soldiers from various counties and counties along the way, and there were more and more soldiers and horses under his command, and they soon arrived in Guangyang.

"Sir, sir, the cavalry in Guanzhong is short of food, so Deng Ai will eat when he kills the horse, and there are many complaints in the army, and the combat strength of 10,000 cavalry is not one in ten."

A scout came up to Feng Ji's side, his face full of joy.

Feng Ji stood up abruptly and said, "The news is accurate? ”

The scout chick nodded like a peck and said, "The news is absolutely accurate! ”

Feng Ji couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "How can a hairy boy lead the troops to fight, I will lead the troops to kill the generals, and fight back and forth with Guangyang County, and wipe out the 10,000 Chinese army in one fell swoop." ”

In Feng Ji's view, a cavalry without a war horse is like a tiger without a sharp claw, and there is no need to be afraid.

The most important thing is that Feng Ji feels that Deng Ai is too young to have extraordinary talents like Zhao Yun's famous generals, who can still keep the soldiers fighting in a desperate situation.

In this way, the 10,000 Guanzhong army, which has been running for a long distance and is lone and lacks food and horses, will completely become lambs to the slaughter.

Feng Ji had a plan in his heart, and immediately led the army towards Jixian County.

In the Guanzhong military camp, Deng Ai stood in the center of the school field, urging the soldiers to train martial arts and practice formations.

"General, Feng Ji has already led an army of 10,000 and is rushing towards Jixian County, if it is combined with the defenders of Jixian County, our army is in danger!"

At present, there are less than 3,000 horses left in the cavalry, and the rest of the horses have been slaughtered.

During this period, Zhao Huang also advised Deng Ai, hoping to abandon Jixian, and then led the cavalry to fight guerrilla warfare with the defenders of Youzhou in Youzhou.

It's just that Deng Ai didn't listen to the advice, and always insisted on going his own way, almost slaughtering the war horses.

Hearing that Feng Ji led the troops to come, Deng Ai was not surprised, and said to Zhao Huang with a smile: "If Feng Ji doesn't come, I still have nothing to do with Jixian." ”

"As soon as the era comes, the city is broken."

Subsequently, Deng Ai asked Tang Chen to come over, and Deng Ai, Zhao Huang, and Tang Chen discussed secretly for a long time.

Guangyang County is not far from Jixian County, and Feng Ji led the army to march quickly, and soon entered the realm of Jixian County.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, Feng Ji felt as if the earth was trembling, and immediately his face changed, and he shouted, "What happened?" ”

A Yuan general said: "General, it seems to be a cavalry." ”

Feng Jiyan's face changed greatly when he heard this, and said: "Didn't you say that the thief army was short of food, and the war horses were almost killed, why are there still cavalry?" ”

"Stomp, stomp!"

There was a black line in the distance, and more than 2,000 cavalry galloped in the distance, fearlessly killing the soldiers and horses of Fengji.

Seeing this, General Yuan hurriedly shouted: "Sir, quickly order the formation, otherwise let the cavalry clash in the formation, even if our strength is several times that of the thief army, it will definitely be defeated!" ”

Feng Ji came back to his senses and hurriedly shouted loudly: "Array, array, array!" ”

However, he said that Guangyang County was too guarded, and when he heard that General Feng Ji was going to lead the troops over, he was immediately overjoyed.

Suddenly, a scout hurriedly ran over and said, "Envoy, Deng Ai has raised his army and gone to ambush the reinforcements!" ”

Guangyang County Taishou was shocked when he heard this, Huo Ran got up, and said: "Pass my military order, the army will go out of the city to welcome reinforcements!" ”

Guangyang Taishou is not a mediocre talent, and before he personally led the army to leave, he also asked the deputy general to guard the city, and there must be no mistake.

However, it was said that Guangyang Taishou led 3,000 troops out of the city, drove more than ten miles to the west, and came to a narrow road.

"It's not good, I've been ambushed, retreat quickly!"

However, as soon as Guangyang Taishou shouted out, he was shot in the throat by Tang Chen's arrow and fell to the ground.

Then Tang Chen led 5,000 soldiers to kill the generals, and killed the Yuan army to the point of crying wolves, and many Yuan soldiers surrendered on their knees.

Because the battlefield was not far from the city, the deputy general of Jixian County also heard the shouting and wanted to lead the troops to the rescue, but he was worried that Jixian County would lose and did not dare to rush to the army.

"Open the gates, open the gates."

At this moment, nearly a thousand ragged Yuan troops rushed towards Jixian County, with only blood on their faces, and they roared loudly from a long distance.

Behind them, dust covered the sky, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

When the deputy general of the city guard saw this situation, he was immediately shocked, but he was worried that these people were deceiving the city, and he hesitated to open the city gate.

"So that the king is dead in battle, open the city gate quickly, or we will all die!"

Just when the deputy general defending the city hesitated, there was a cry from the city, and the deputy general raised his eyes and found that these soldiers were still carrying the corpse of Guangyang Taishou.

"Envoy!"

Seeing that Guangyang Taishou was killed, the deputy general, as a subordinate of Guangyang Taishou, was naturally stunned and shouted loudly.

He watched the pursuers in Guanzhong getting closer and closer, and shouted loudly: "Open the city gate quickly, and welcome the corpse of the envoy into the city!" ”

"Crunch! Crunch! Crunch! ”

The city gate was opened, the ragged Yuan army broke out, and soon rushed into the city, and the adjutant general who defended the city was about to give the order to close the city gate, and those soldiers suddenly burst out and killed people, and took the city gate over.

"Zhao Huang is here, the thieves have fallen for my plan, it's not too late to surrender now!"

Zhao Huang tore through the disguise, stabbed a Yuan Jun to death with one shot, and roared loudly.

The rest of the soldiers who followed Zhao Huang's deception city also shouted in unison, murderous.

Seeing this, the deputy general defending the city immediately burst into tears, drew his sword and shouted: "I was born as a member of the Yuan family, and I died as a ghost of the Yuan family, how can I surrender to you, a horse bandit?" ”

Zhao Huang was furious when he heard this, and ordered the soldiers to enter the city.

It didn't take long for Tang Chen to lead thousands of soldiers into the city to fight with Yuan's army.

There were not many defenders in the city, the 3,000 soldiers taken away by the Guanghan Taishou were killed and wounded, and there were not many soldiers and horses in the city.

Thousands of sergeants and soldiers, with the resentment that their horses were killed, entered the city like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and soon killed most of Yuan's army.

There were also some Yuan troops, who surrendered on their knees for fear of death, and Jixian, the capital of Youzhou, was soon taken by Zhao Huang and Tang Chen.

"Brother, what should I do with this guy?"

Tang Chen was covered in blood and escorted the deputy general of Jixian County to Zhao Huang's side.

Zhao Huang shouted: "You are willing to surrender!" ”

The deputy general glared at the tiger and scolded: "The loyal ministers do not care about the two masters, a certain vow will not surrender, and if you want to kill, you must scrape and listen to the respect!" ”

Tang Chen was furious when he heard this, and was about to step forward to kill this person, but was stopped by Zhao Huang.

"This person is locked up for the time being, and it won't be too late to deal with it when Ah Ai comes back."
