The only advantage of camping in the valley is that the terrain is flat, and the sand is dry and soft, and sleeping on a bundle of hay on the sand is soft and comfortable, comparable to the finest silk bedding, and there is nothing more comfortable for a soldier after a tiring day of sleep than lying on the sand pile.

However, camping on the river valley is a taboo for soldiers, the river valley is surrounded by mountains, the terrain is low, easy to attack and difficult to defend, if it is attacked or besieged by the enemy, it is like catching a turtle in an urn, and if it is not done well, the whole army will be destroyed.

Deng Zhong followed his father Deng Ai to fight in Longxi for many years, and he was familiar with the art of war, and he could not be unaware of the danger of camping in the river valley.

The soldiers who first entered the camp were also so tired that they were about to collapse, and when they camped, they only set up dozens of simple tents on the river beach, and did not even make the bars of the camp gates, and 3,000 people gathered around the lit bonfire, while roasting the fire to resist the cold of the night, while gnawing on dry food, which was supposed to be today's dinner.

Wei soldiers' dry food is a kind of dry and hard bread, soldiers with good teeth chew and swallow it directly, and those with bad teeth can only be soaked in water to eat, in addition to the bread, each soldier also issued a piece of jerky - a kind of beef and mutton after the meat strip is dried, there is almost no water, chewing is very difficult, but every soldier eats it willingly.

You must know that the food in the first camp is not bad compared to the follow-up troops, Deng Ai in order to encourage the first camp, everyone will distribute a sufficient amount of dry food tomorrow, and the jerky is an additional meal. Not only did the follow-up troops not have jerky, but even the dry food had been halved, and it was said that in a few days, they would be in danger of running out of food.

Being able to eat a full stomach is already a gift, and as for wanting to eat well, it is a luxury.

However, there are exceptions in the army, such as Deng Zhong sitting by the fire at the moment, gnawing on a roe deer leg.

In this barren mountains and mountains, people can't see one, wild beasts are not scarce, Deng Zhong's personal soldiers do not need to dig mountains and bridges to do hard work, during the march, they will occasionally deviate from the marching route of the large army, sneak to the vicinity to play some game, these personal soldiers archery skills are also exquisite, often there will be some gains, such as hunting a pheasant or hare, will be brought back to Deng Zhong to fight tooth sacrifice. Today's harvest was good, and I even hunted a roe deer, dragged it back to the man, slaughtered it, and put it on the shelf to roast.

"Come, come, eat." When Deng Zhong was in Longxi, he lived a life of brocade clothes and jade food, since he stepped on the Yinping trail, he slept in the open air, and the birds faded out of his mouth, and occasionally there was a pheasant and hare that was difficult to satisfy his hunger, and today the soldiers hunted back such a big roe deer, which was enough for him to feast, of course, Deng Zhong could not eat it alone, so he beckoned his own soldiers to share it.

"Major General, I have already seen the surrounding terrain, if you want to camp out, this river valley is not an ideal place, it is best to send more open posts and secret sentry posts, just in case." After camping, Shi Su did not rest, but circled around the camp, and looked at the surrounding environment, he has been in the army for many years, he is very vigilant, thinking that it is very unsafe to camp here, and suggests that Deng Zhong send more patrols to strengthen the vigilance.

Deng Zhong laughed and said: "General Shi, you are too worried, this barren mountain and wild mountain, all the way, let alone a person, you haven't even seen a ghost, you actually suspect that the Shu soldiers will sneak attack at night?" Hahaha, don't worry, from here to Jiangyou, there is absolutely no Shu soldier to defend, you can sit back and relax. ”

"But......" Shi Su frowned, and wanted to say something, Deng Zhong had already thrown a roe deer leg to him, and said with a smile: "General Shi, you should also be considerate of the soldiers, after a tiring day, it is time for them to rest." Don't you really think that there are Shu soldiers who will come to sneak attack? That's the biggest joke I've ever heard. ”

Shi Su silently took the roe deer leg and didn't say anything more, he looked around outside the camp, in fact, he didn't find anything unusual, but there was a strange feeling in his intuition, but what it was, he couldn't say......

At the top of the Jingjun Mountain, Liu Yin has been silently watching the movements of the Wei army, the Wei army is camped in the river valley, Liu Yin can see clearly, this should be the vanguard of the Wei army, if it is not bad, Deng Ai must not be in the meantime, the leader is likely to be Deng Ai's son Deng Zhong or some other general.

The number of people was estimated, and the vanguard was about three thousand men. On the top of the mountain, you can still see it very clearly, and you can even see the equipment of these soldiers - there is no armor on their bodies, and the weapons in their hands are only individual weapons, swords, guns, bows and arrows.

Liu Yin suddenly had an idea, how about a sneak attack? Whether it was Deng Zhong or other generals leading the army, they would never have thought that there would be an army of Shu lurking on Jingjun Mountain, and they would definitely not be prepared when they camped at night. If you are surprised and unprepared, you can completely catch them off guard.

Liu Yin was also taken aback by this sudden idea, you must know that the other party has 3,000 people, more than three times more than his own troops, and he gave up the danger to go down the mountain to sneak attack, if the Wei army is not prepared, it is better to say, if there is defense, it is likely to be victimized.

However, the benefits are obvious, it is obviously unrealistic to eat the opponent's 3,000 people, but as long as the sneak attack can be successful, it can greatly reduce the sharp spirit of the Wei army and lay a good foundation for the next blocking battle.

The plan is there, but Liu Yin, for the sake of prudence, did not blindly go down the mountain, but replaced Ah Jian, asking him to quietly go down the mountain to spy on the enemy, if the Wei army is really prepared, Liu Yin will break that thought, if the Wei army is not prepared, this is definitely a godsend.

Ah Jian came back from the mountain in less than an hour, which naturally brought Liu Yin back a good news, the Wei army first camped 3,000 people all camped on the beach in the river valley, not only did the camp gate fence and these fortifications around the camp, but even the bright posts and secret posts were not seen, the whole camp snored like thunder, and almost all the Wei soldiers slept soundly.

Liu Yin was overjoyed and immediately ordered Zhang Le to gather 300 soldiers and prepare to go down the mountain to steal the camp.

Zhang Le didn't know why, and said, "Big brother, where are you going to go in the middle of the night?" ”

Liu Yin smiled and said, "Give them a dismount!" ”
