Marshal Deng of the Conferred God

Chapter 71
"Report, the Xiqi army is attacking, and it is less than ten miles away from our army camp!"

Xiqi's movement had already alarmed Deng Jun's scouts.In fact, Deng Jiugong had received the news of Xiqi's dispatch of troops a long time ago, and he knew exactly when.At this moment, a large number of generals gathered in front of his tent, including Chen Qi.

Knowing that Chen Qi took the initiative to vote, Deng Jiugong was overjoyed, and immediately promoted him to be a general, at the same level as Tailuan.Zheng Lun's stay in Northern Xinjiang meant that he lost a general under his command, and Chen Qi's arrival just made up for this vacancy.

Chen Qi is good at spells which are different from Zheng Lun's. He was secretly passed on by a stranger, and he developed a yellow energy in his stomach. When he opened his mouth, the yellow energy would be ejected, and the soul of the person who saw it would dissipate.

Of course, in the face of profound Taoism and strong soul, such spells have limited effect on them.

"Everyone, the battle is imminent, so I won't discuss the details of the battlefield with you too much, and you will follow my orders directly, without any mistakes!"

All the generals said in unison: "The last general takes orders."

Deng Jiugong nodded in satisfaction. In order to win, he must be ordered and prohibited, otherwise what is the majesty of the coach.He immediately issued an order: "Gao Jineng, Tailuan, I will order you two to lead [-] elite soldiers to take a small road from Yanshan to attack Xiqi City."

Jiang Ziya took the main road, so he asked Gao Jineng to take the small road, thus avoiding Xiqi's army.

When he received Jiang Ziya's battle letter, Deng Jiugong told the generals that he was going to defeat Jiang Ziya on the battlefield, but this uprightness did not mean that the two armies were fighting directly on the battlefield, so that even if Jiang Ziya was defeated, his 15 troops might not be much left. .This kind of war is the most rigid and stupid tactic. Deng Jiugong does not intend to use it. The tactics he arranges must pay attention to strategy.

Gao Jineng and Tailuan both stepped out, clasped their hands and said: "The last general takes orders."

"Jiang Ziya's best efforts, the defense of Xiqi City must be empty. When you come to the city, you have to show the momentum of going to the city in a battle, but you can't break through the city gate."

As soon as these words came out, the generals were very puzzled, since they had already decided to attack the city, why didn't they take advantage of the situation to break through the city.Jiang Ziya's absence is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to win Xiqi City. If Ji Fa can be caught, the Western Expedition will be a perfect conclusion.

The marshal is promoted, the generals are promoted, this is the ideal picture that everyone is looking forward to, but the coach means to give up this opportunity.

Deng Jiugong saw that everyone was puzzled, and said with a smile: "I know you don't understand my decision, let me show you off, and when the time comes, you will naturally know. Gao Jineng, Tailuan, you have enough manpower, when you attack the city , be sure to encircle the three ques and one, and the four cities cannot go to war at the same time, otherwise it will be disadvantageous to us."

"Surrounded by three ques and one?"

Gao Jineng's eyes flickered a few times, and he praised: "Marshal's understanding of the art of war is really No. 1 in ancient and modern times, even if Xuanyuan Renhuang is not as good as it."

The others looked confused. Wei San Que Yi is a classic case in "Sun Tzu's Art of War". They have never seen it before, so it is naturally difficult to understand it.Gao Jineng loves the art of war and has been obsessed with it for a long time, so it is easy to understand the meaning of these words.

Deng Jiugong said with a smile: "The commander-in-chief has already said that the first thing to consider on the battlefield is the timing, location and manpower, and the last thing is to fight for manpower. The best strategy is to attack the army and subdue the enemy without fighting!"

Gao Jineng nodded approvingly, assuming the two armies were at war, wouldn't it be the most brilliant tactic for one side to surrender without fighting.

Chen Qi was not a reckless man, he resigned from the position of food supervisor and came to the battlefield of Xiqi alone, which shows that his vision is superior to others.He recalled Deng Jiugong's words carefully, and suddenly said: "Marshal, you said that using righteousness to assist the strange, could it be that you used the attack on Xiqi City to force Jiang Ziya to return to his teacher to save himself."

Deng Jiugong glanced at him in surprise, and said with a smile: "I wanted to make a fool of myself, but since General Chen Qi has guessed my plan, I will tell you. Everyone, please take a look at the sand table."

When all the generals heard the words, they all surrounded him.Deng Jiugong fiddled with the sand table and said eloquently: "This battle originally had four major disadvantages to our army, but the commander eliminated the biggest threat with thunder, and there are still three major disadvantages; Ten thousand, our side only has 30 horses, which is far less than that. Second, Jiang Ziya’s generals are like a cloud, but on our side, Deng Chanyu and Zheng Lun are not in the barracks, so we can’t fight head-on with them. Third, Jiang Ziya is fighting in his own country , has the right time and place, which is not as good as ours."

All the generals nodded upon hearing this.

Deng Jiugong continued: "With the above three points, if our army fights head-on with them, the chances of winning are slim. Therefore, I asked Gao Jineng and his two to surprise Xiqi City, break Jiang Ziya's battle deployment, take the initiative while being passive, and lead him by the nose Walk."

In terms of formation, to be honest, I am not as good as Jiang Ziya, but I have countless classic battles to learn from later generations, which is far better than him.

Tailuan is a rough man with a simple mind and well-developed limbs. He was puzzled and said: "Marshal, if Jiang Ziya just sits and watches Xiqi City and does not save it, then your calculation will be in vain."

As soon as these words came out, all the generals burst into laughter, Tailuan frowned, and hummed: "What are you laughing at, did I ask the wrong question?"

Chen Qi broke the siege and said: "General Tailuan, Xiqi is Jiang Ziya's stronghold. If he just sits and watches Xiqi City be destroyed, he will not say that he is ashamed of Ji Chang and his son, and the 30 soldiers under his command will not agree. At that time, I'm afraid Jiang Ziya's reputation has been ruined, and he has become a street mouse that everyone shouts and beats."

When Tailuan heard this, he felt a little embarrassed, laughed dryly, then lowered his head and pretended to look at the sand table.

Deng Jiugong smiled lightly, and asked Zhao Sheng how he felt about the last ambush.Zhao Sheng raised his head and chest, and said seriously: "It feels very good. According to the marshal, it is like beating a dog in the water."

Seeing that he compared Jiang Ziya to a dog in the water, all the generals burst into laughter.

Deng Jiugong said: "Do you want to do this kind of ambush again?"

Zhao Sheng was excited all over, and blurted out without thinking: "I think, the end general wants to beat Jiang Ziya's backside in his dreams, and beat him to death."

"Okay, then I will give you [-] archers and set up an ambush at the same position."

"Ah, and... set up an ambush... among the reeds?"

Zhao Sheng was stunned, and all the generals were puzzled. Jiang Ziya was not stupid, would he suffer twice in the same place?As the saying goes: eat a ditch, gain a wisdom.An ordinary person would not make the same mistake, let alone the resourceful Jiang Ziya.

Deng Jiugong said: "That's right, I'm still setting up an ambush there. It's late autumn, and the vegetation is withered and ignites when it encounters a fire. You have enough fuel. First spread hay on the road, and when Jiang Ziya's army returns to the division, all arrows will be fired." , the arrows are tied with fuel, so that if the Xiqi army is attacked by fire, there will be chaos."

It's true that Jiang Ziya is a smart person, but the smarter a person is, the more he believes in himself, the easier it is to make the same mistakes.Besides, due to the limitations of this era, Jiang Ziya didn't know the way of conspiracy.

Zhao Sheng's eyes lit up, and he said with great joy: "The last general takes orders!"

For him, there is nothing more exciting than fighting a war.

The generals' eyes were also brightened. According to the marshal's arrangement, they would definitely defeat the Xiqi Army. Jiang Ziya was afraid that he would lose miserably.

Chen Qi's eyes were full of admiration. Facing the attack of a powerful enemy, Marshal Deng said a few words, as if the enemy was wiped out in ashes. This is the first time he has seen such a powerful and confident attitude.No wonder all the generals admired him so much, and they all respected him in every word.
