Chapter 408 Offense and Defense
The drums sounded, and the clouds moved in all directions.

It is not clouds that move on the earth, but people and soldiers.

In the vortex of fate, many people drift with the tide, they don't know who to fight for and who to die for.

All he knew was to straighten the sword and spear and face forward.

For Deng Ai, this is the last chance and the only chance.

Defeat Yang Zheng head-on, and then all crises will be gone.

It is even possible that Liangzhou will fall apart because of this.

Therefore, Deng Ai, who stood above Xiaoguan, didn't feel discouraged, and even felt that this was an opportunity.

Qianhong, Qiu Ben, and Duan Zhuo have 7000 people, plus Deng Ai's 7000 people, it cannot be said that there is no chance.

Although the hands of Qian, Qiu, and Duan were mixed with many civilian husbands, the 7000 people in Deng Ai's hands were genuine elites, and they had followed him for many years.

On the opposite side, the Liangzhou Army seemed to have a disparity in strength that was not yet desperate.

In fact, no matter how sophisticated the conspiracy is, in the end, it is still necessary to decide the outcome on the battlefield.

If there was still food, Deng Ai might be able to use Xiao Guan to grind away several layers of flesh and bones of Yang Zheng, but his army rushed, and he didn't bring much food, and the food that Xiao Guan closed was burned.

All in all, Deng Ai had to choose a decisive battle!

"In the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao had 11 troops, all of whom were good at fighting in Hebei. They had enough food and supplies. Wei and Wu had 3000 troops. There was a shortage of food in ten days. In the battle of Wuchao, they were able to defeat them with a few. Today's battle The situation is very different from that of the past. There are not a hundred thousand thieves. Our army is more elite than the thieves. Yang Er has come to seek death today! The general has already ordered that whoever captures and kills Yang Er will be made a thousand householder and rewarded with [-] yuan Ten thousand, children and grandchildren can enjoy wealth and honor in peace!"

Deng Ai is doing the final mobilization on Xiaoguan.

If you win, you have everything.

The surrounding generals all breathed heavily.

This is an era where killings prevail, it is also an era when miracles fall out, and it is also an era of madness.

Everywhere is the record of defeating the strong with the weak and defeating the many with the few.

The [-] Deng Ai army was against the [-] Yang Zheng army. In terms of strength, the gap was not that big.

As for the thousands of powerful trilogy to the east of Xiao Guan, they were not included in Deng Ai's calculations at all.

He himself is a very confident person.

Otherwise, in history, there would not be more than ten thousand people who would dare to sneak into Yinping, destroy the city and the village, and force them to surrender to the Kingdom of Shu.

"In today's battle, if you don't kill Yang Er, my father and son will not survive!" Deng Aihong raised his arms and shouted. He is more than 60 years old, but he is more angry than ordinary young and strong, as if his body contains surging fighting spirit , endless desire.

"I would like to fight to the death with the general!" The generals knelt on one knee in front of them.

"Fight to the death!" Xiao Guan closed, and thousands of soldiers raised their swords and spears, stabbing at the blue sky in winter.

The shouts spread far away, and the headwind blew past the Liangzhou military barracks that looked like a crescent moon.

These camps are like a sickle lying under Xiaoguan. If Deng Ai wants to break through, he must face the sickle.

The shouts also reached Yang Zheng's ears.

For Liangzhou, Deng Ai is the final test.

Among the generals of the Kanto, no one is more ferocious or more threatening than him.

Deng Ai has been cultivating in Longyou for many years. He is loyal and loyal. He is the real pillar of the Sima family. He is more important than Sima Fu and Sima Wang. grains of grain.

"General, the enemy is attacking!" Pang Qing reminded.

"Shou!" Yang Zheng replied with one word.

"The enemy is weak but we are strong, why should we defend?" Liu Heng asked puzzled.

Other generals also have the same doubts.

Obviously, Liangzhou Buqi is better at attacking.

If Yang Zheng was just a general, he would definitely take the initiative to fight Deng Ai to the death, and it would be a vigorous battle. With the elite and morale of the Liangzhou Army, the chance of winning is at least [-]%.

But this is just an algorithm on the books.

Now Yang Zheng wears shoes, and Deng Ai plays his life barefoot. Isn't his strength just playing his life?

"Being invincible first is waiting for the enemy to be victorious; standing in an invincible position is waiting for the enemy's defeat!" The best strategy is to fight back and reduce the casualties of our army." Now Yang Zheng is no longer a general, but a commander-in-chief and a monarch.

It is the best choice to eat the opponent steadily, and it is also responsible for the lives of the soldiers under his command.

"What the general says, the subordinates will do!" Liu Heng was too lazy to think.

"Don't worry, Deng Ai will surely die this time!" Yang Zheng said confidently.

The sound of war drums and horns aroused outside the tent.

The shouts on the other side were like the surging tide layer by layer.

To the south, Deng Aijun's dozen or so infantry marched forward with their spears upright, and thousands of cavalry on the left wing cruised, raising their ring-shoulders as they rushed in. Judging by their attire, they should be Qiang cavalry from Longyou.

However, in Yang Zheng's view, what is more threatening is that under Xiaoguan, a banner of "Anxi General Deng" is flying high, and thousands of infantry stand proudly under the banner.

They didn't shout, didn't form, like a mob.

It's just that the killing momentum emanating from them far surpassed the more than ten thousand cavalry in the south who were showing off their might.

With the word Deng Ai, Yang Zheng had to treat it with caution.

"Let go!" Several roars came from the camp, and thousands of strong bows and crossbows responded.

The dense rain of arrows rose from the camp like a flock of crows, flew into the sky, and then slid down, or burrowed into the flesh, or stuck in the loess.

The shouts on the other side suddenly turned into scattered screams.

The neat array turned people off their feet.

The bow, crossbow and feather arrows improved by Tiefang have a longer range and stronger penetrating power.

Among the formations in the south, the armor rate is not high.Those wearing iron armor are less, mostly leather armor, and some Qiang cavalry have no armor at all.

Not many people died under the rain of arrows, but as long as they were injured, it was more terrifying than direct death on this battlefield.

Either he was trampled to death by friendly troops, or he watched his blood dry up and died in despair.

"Let go!" The second wave of arrows rained in response.

But this time, the enemy's formation was prepared, and they erected round shields one after another, with limited damage.

"Keep shooting arrows!" Yang Zheng ordered.

In this battle, Lu Zhi and Du Yu were sitting in the rear, and all kinds of supplies were transported in an endless stream.

Compared with his life as a beggar a few years ago, Yang Zheng is now rich and powerful.

It doesn't matter how many enemies you can shoot to death, as long as you can hurt them and delay their attack.

The rain of arrows seemed to be endless, and the blackness covered the sky again and again.

A large piece of reed seemed to grow out of nowhere on the ground.

Blood flowed slowly from the reeds.

Although the lethality is limited, the psychological impact it brings to the enemy is endless.

However, Deng Aijun's tenacity also exceeded Yang Zheng's expectations. At the cost of 800 people, the enemy still moved forward.

No, it's not that Deng Aijun is tough, but the soldiers on this land have been extremely tough since ancient times.

As long as the superstructure looks human, they can develop one powerful dynasty after another.
