Chapter 242 Rain and Snow
The situation has gradually turned bad for Deng Ai.

Even if you are a peerless famous general, without food and grass, you can only gradually lose your way.

By now, Yang Zheng was not so flustered.

The west is as stable as Mount Tai, and there seems to be an invisible tacit understanding between Guo Huai and Chen Tai.

If these two people really had one heart with the Sima family, Yang Zheng would have been buried in the ground by now.

In fact, most things in the world are like this. It seems difficult, and you have a narrow escape, but it is often when the car arrives at the front of the mountain.

So throughout the ages, there will never be no shortage of miracles.

Yang Zheng vaguely grasped the key point.

Who is an enemy and who is a potential ally depends on the time of day.

With the arrival of Zhang Te and Du Yu with [-] slave troops, Deng Aijun seemed to have entered a period of fatigue and stood still.

Or maybe he is accumulating his last strength, ready to fight to the death.

The cities of Xiping were all built in response to the turmoil of the Qiang people. The situation is rugged.

It is also fortunate that Deng Ai was born in digging trenches and repairing Wubao. All kinds of ingenious earth barriers, antlers, stone buildings, and arrow towers made the iron barrels that broke the Qiang city besieged.

On the No. 20th day of the siege, Deng Ai's digging army discovered the secret passage of Jiuying Camp, and set up an ambush to arrest [-] elite scouts.

Po Qiang City became completely blind and deaf.

But Yang Zheng held his breath.

Every day that Po Qiang City is defended, the situation will be tilted towards him.

With the Kingdom of Shu watching covetously, the court of Cao Wei would not allow Yong Liang to rot like this.

Yang Zheng was finally able to close his eyes and sleep peacefully.

The outside of the city became quiet.

The warm spring breeze blew all day, and at night, it rained and snowed. The temperature difference between day and night in the northwest was large, changing from warm to cold.

This is a severe test for Deng Aijun.

At dawn, the scouts on the watchtower shouted: "The enemy's camp has been reduced by 51!"

The scouts from Nancheng also came to report that the enemy's camp had been reduced by 35 tents.

A tent can house 2000 to [-] soldiers. Counting it, there were about [-] deserters last night.

This number is a bit scary.

Could it be that Deng Aijun really can't open the pot?

The rout is continuous.

Two thousand last night, two thousand tonight, how much will Deng Aijun have in a few days?
Yang Zheng was very excited, "You keep an eye on it carefully."

"Wei!" The scout folded his hands and retreated.

For the next two days, the rout continued.

But the scouts also saw clearly that most of them were Qiang Di Yicong.

Deng Ai's main force turned to the west to block the reinforcements of Zhang Te and Du Yu, while the Hu family army and Qiang Di Za army were in the east and south.

Although their rout did not affect the overall situation, it dealt a huge blow to the psychology and morale of other soldiers.

Yang Zheng moved to Xicheng with the personal guard battalion.

"The enemy camp kills horses for food!" As soon as they reached the west, the scouts on the top of the tower pointed at the enemy camp and shouted.

Yang Zheng raised his eyes and saw that after the rain and snow at night, the spring rain fell again during the day, making the world gray.

There was a faint light coming from the fire, and the figures of people and horses could indeed be seen vaguely.

"If the enemy kills horses, the rations will be exhausted!" Meng Yu looked excited.

The soldiers on the city wall were also overjoyed and cursed at the enemy camp.

It seemed that victory was imminent.

There are many signs that Deng Aijun is at the end of his rope.

However, Yang Zheng always felt that it was too smooth.

After half a lifetime of bad luck, it suddenly became smooth, and it was inevitable that I was a little hesitant.

Connecting everything in series is too much like a trick to lure the enemy.

It was true that Qiang Diyi had been separated, and it was also true that Zhou Yu had robbed grain, but the impact on the situation was not so great, after all, Jishi Mountain did not have many troops.

It's okay to rob once, but it's unrealistic to completely control its grain path.

How could Deng Ai not send troops to take it back?
Furthermore, Nan'an is considered the most affluent county in Longyou, and has always had plenty of food and grass. Zhou Yu's attack can cut off Deng Ai's supplies?
After thinking about it carefully, Yang Zheng felt that Deng Ai probably put in the news on purpose.

You are scheming against Deng Ai, how do you know that Deng Ai is not scheming against you?

Soldiers who, deception also.

There is only what you can't think of, and there is nothing the enemy can't do.

Deng Ai was solved so easily, so he wouldn't leave such a big reputation in the history books, and was welcomed into the Wu Temple.

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go out of the city and kill Deng Ai's old man first, and let out such a vile bird!" Liu Heng bared his teeth and claws.

"What is the general worried about?" Meng Guan's thoughts were more careful.

"Could it be that what we saw and heard was intentionally done by Deng Ai?" This battle was so important to Yang Zheng that he had to be cautious.

Caution is the boat.

Meng Guan was startled, "The general said that they had discovered the secret way a long time ago, and kept it on purpose to mislead us?"

"How is this possible?" Liu Heng opened his mouth wide.

"How is this impossible?" Yang Zheng asked back.

It was a bit too coincidental that the secret passage was destroyed at this point in time.

Deng Ai was digging everywhere outside the city, how could the secret passage be hidden for so long?

Liu Heng rubbed his bun, which was no different from straw, "Going around, I'm dizzy, what are you thinking about so much? The whole army stormed the enemy camp to the west, and the reinforcements attacked on both sides. Can Deng Ai still fly away? "

The rough man's method is straightforward.

But under the west city, Deng Ai's camp was densely packed, and the three fortresses looked like tortoise shells. How many lives would it take to fill them?
Killing one thousand enemies and self-defeating eight hundred, Xiping only had a little life just now, and all of them were buried here. How will he face more dogs from the Sima family in the future?
"Observe for a few more days." Yang Zheng decided to continue to wait. After two days, the enemy troops no longer fled at night, but retreated blatantly.

Yang Zheng could still sit still, but the generals couldn't hold back anymore.

In their view, this is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

After being pressed and beaten for such a long time, it is inevitable that he will be a little angry.

"If Deng Ai really ran out of food, wouldn't it be a missed opportunity to retreat slowly with this plan?" Meng Guan put forward a new hypothesis.

Yang Zheng frowned, watching the orderly retreat of the enemy army, he fell into confusion again.

Is it a trick to lure the enemy, or is it really a dead end?

From ancient times to the present, there are many people who are good at planning, and few people who are good at judgment.

"Tonight, my subordinates will lead [-] elite soldiers to rob the camp, and spy on the enemy's true strength. If the enemy is unprepared, they will directly capture the large tent of the Chinese army, capture the heads of Deng Ai and his son and present them to the general!" Meng Yu said impassionedly.

"Subordinates are willing to go together!" Liu Heng also clapped his hands in a dignified way.

Yang Zheng glanced at the enemy camp in the misty rain and sky again.

The three docks are like three beasts dormant.

Deng Ai's camp is first-class in layout, with antlers, earth fortresses, and archery towers. It is difficult to get in and even harder to get out.

But all the generals under his command looked at Yang Zheng expectantly.

Yang Zheng is more inclined to defend, as long as he persists and stays in the city honestly, he will be invincible, and it is also a safe way. Deng Ai can't take advantage even if he plays tricks.

It's just that as a coach, sometimes you have to consider more than just the battlefield.

Yang Zheng has always wanted to leave the soldiers with brave and invincible characters.

Blindly avoiding the battle, the archway will not be able to stand up, and the soldiers under his command will inevitably think that the general is cowardly.
