When the Wei army regrouped at the foot of the mountain, there were less than 3,000 of them, and almost all of the soldiers were painted to varying degrees, all of them were languishing, depressed, and demoralized to a level they had never seen before.

Indeed, this defeat was a fiasco that the Yongliang army had never experienced, the 30,000 army at the time of the expedition, at this moment there was less than one percent, and the opponent was only a few hundred people, this frustration was indescribable from the general to the ordinary soldiers. In Longxi, they have dealt with the Shu army more than once, and the Shu army can be said to know everything well, and the two sides have won and lost each other, but they are far from the point of breaking their bones, such as today's fiasco, but there has never been a thing.

Almost the whole army was wiped out, such a fiasco, for the Yongliang soldiers, it was simply a shame, and the explosion like a landslide cracked, everyone wanted to break their heads, but they couldn't think of a reason, they just felt that Liu Yin was really terrible, this kind of demonic character exists, not only is it difficult to destroy Shu, but in the future, who can stop him from destroying tens of thousands of people in one fell swoop.

That catastrophic scene was deeply reflected in the minds of everyone who experienced it firsthand, fear and pessimism spread among the Wei army, despair was engraved on everyone's face, and Jingjun Mountain had become a mountain that they could never surpass.

At this time, there was even more desperate news, the Wei army had run out of food, and when it arrived at the foot of the Jing army, the Wei army's military rations were only enough to support three days. The Wei army's food and grass problem could be solved, but after three days of bloody fighting, the Wei army not only fought almost all the troops. And it also consumed a small amount of military rations.

This is undoubtedly to add insult to injury, completely crushing the last confidence of the Wei soldiers, without food, waiting for their final fate, is to starve to death in this inaccessible dangerous path.

The shadow of death hung over the camp of the Wei army, and more terrible than hunger was despair, and the psychological blow of food was more cruel than anything else. Like the last straw that broke the camel's back, the military spirit of the Wei army completely collapsed at this moment, and many strong soldiers who had never shed tears were in tears at this moment. Crying bitterly.

The crying seemed contagious, at first it was just a few soldiers crying, and then the whole barracks wailed. Sobbing and sobbing.

Deng Zhong was patrolling the camp. Seeing that the soldiers' emotions were out of control, although he also stopped a few words, the atmosphere of the entire barracks was shrouded in misery, and Deng Zhong could not help it, so he had to turn back to the handsome tent to report to Deng Ai.

"Father, at this moment, the morale of the army is scattered, and if it continues like this, it will collapse without a fight. Does the father have a good plan? Deng Zhong said to Deng Ai worriedly.

Deng Ai's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Hugh is panicked. has been governing the army for his father for decades, and he has experienced more than a hundred battles, how can this difficulty be difficult to become a father? Pass the order, the whole army will rest tonight, make food on the fourth watch, set off on the fifth watch, and fight on the mountain again! ”

"Four more cooking?" Deng Zhong looked puzzled, did his father faint, didn't he know that the army had run out of cooking, and now there was no grain in the room, what could he use to bury the pot and make rice? Deng Zhong said cautiously: "Father, the grain and grass in the army have been exhausted......"

Deng Ai said indifferently: "I know." ”

Deng Zhong was even more confused, since Deng Ai knew that there was no food in the army, why did he say so, he was about to ask his father what he was eating, at this time, he smelled a smell of stewed meat, and then he suddenly realized that his father had already prepared, presumably to send someone to the nearby mountains to hunt some game to solve the food shortage. Thinking of this, Deng Zhong's stomach gurgled uncontrollably, after a whole day of fighting, Deng Zhong was already hungry before the water and rice entered.

However, Deng Zhong is still curious, even if there are some beasts in the mountain, but the number is extremely rare, the two armies of Wei and Shu fought fiercely here, those beasts with ears and eyes have already fled, even if the people sent out by Deng Ai can hunt a few beasts, it is obviously not realistic to solve the food of three thousand people.

At this time, the Chinese officer came in and reported: "Governor Qiyu, the meal has been prepared." ”

Deng Aihu's body was shocked, and he said angrily: "Order the army, prepare to eat!" ”

When Deng Zhong accompanied Deng Ai to appear in the camp, the Wei soldiers were already lined up, and the leaders were busy carrying dozens of cauldrons, and the whole camp was filled with the aroma of stewed meat, so that these hungry soldiers smelled their index fingers, you know, since the march all the way, the Wei army can eat food, only dry and hard bread, occasionally improve, the best food is just a piece of jerky, and at this moment, such a cauldron of food is in front of you, how not to make people feel excited.

The people take food as the sky, and the grain and grass are the backbone of the army, and the Wei soldiers, who were already in a desperate situation because of the lack of food, have their confidence back at this moment, looking at the marching pot one by one, salivating, but Deng Ai has not yet given the order, although these soldiers are hungry and their eyes are glazed, and their hearts are attached to their backs, but no one dares to take a step forward.

Deng Ai stood in front of the army with a cold face, and said loudly: "The art of war is cloudy, put it to death and come back to life, today our army has suffered heavy casualties, it can be said that it is the most tragic defeat since I Deng Ai led the army!" However, I, Deng Ai, have not yet admitted defeat, because I still have you, the best sons of the Yongliang Army! Tomorrow's battle will be a battle that will determine life and death, it is true that we are facing a dilemma, but the Shu people are also the end of the strong crossbow, the Yongliang army only has heroes who died in battle, and there is no retreat, even if it is a soldier and a pawn, it must be fought to the end, never retreat! ”

"Fight to the end! Never back! Fight to the end! Never retreat...... "Although those soldiers were a little hungry and lacking in confidence, the three thousand people shouted in unison, and the momentum could still pierce the cold and silent night sky.

At this moment, the ** and blood of the Wei soldiers in the decisive battle were mobilized again, everyone was in high spirits, morale was high, and the negative haze disappeared all at once.

Deng Zhong used a few pots of stew and a few words of encouragement to his father to reunite the loose military spirit and admired the five-body throw, the father is the father, the strictness of the army, it is really worthy of the name, even Deng Zhong himself, can't help but be enthusiastic, eager to rush to the top of the Jingjun mountain at this moment, and fight to the death with the Shu army.

Deng Ai was very satisfied with the current state of the army, he nodded, waved his hand, and said something that everyone had been waiting for for a long time: "Open the meal-" (to be continued......
