The last three kingdoms

Chapter 155
When the Wei army regrouped at the foot of the mountain, there were less than [-] soldiers, and almost all the soldiers were covered with colors to varying degrees.

Indeed, this defeat was a disastrous defeat that the Yongliang army had never experienced before. At the time of the expedition, less than [-]% of the [-] army was left, and the opponent was only a few hundred people. This kind of frustration ranged from the general to the ordinary Soldiers are beyond words.In Longxi, they had dealt with the Shu army more than once, and they knew the Shu army well. There were many battles, and the two sides won and lost each other, but they were far from the point where they were injured. A fiasco, but something that has never happened before.

Almost the entire army was wiped out. Such a disastrous defeat was simply a shame for the soldiers of Yongliang. Moreover, the explosion like a landslide made everyone think about it, but they couldn't think of a reason. They only thought that Liu Yin It's really scary. The existence of such a monstrous character is not only difficult for the Kingdom of Shu to destroy, but in the future when he competes for supremacy in the world, who can stop his big move of destroying tens of thousands of people in one fell swoop.

That disaster-like scene was deeply reflected in the minds of everyone who experienced it personally. Fear and pessimism spread among Wei Jun, and despair was engraved on everyone's face. Jingjun Mountain has become a A mountain they will never surpass.

At this time, there was even more desperate news that the Wei army had run out of food. When they arrived at the foot of the Jingjun Mountain, the Wei army's food was only enough to last for three days. The blocking Wei army captured Jiangyou, and the food and grass problem of the Wei army could be solved. However, after three days of bloody battle, the Wei army not only wiped out almost all the troops, but also consumed a small amount of army rations.

This is undoubtedly worse, completely crushing Wei Bing's final confidence, without food, waiting for their final fate, is to starve to death on this inaccessible and dangerous path.

The shadow of death hangs over the camp of the Wei army. What is more terrifying than hunger is despair. Food deprivation hits every soldier's psychology more cruelly than anything else. It is like the last straw that overwhelms the camel. The ground collapsed, and many strong fighters who had never shed tears burst into tears at this moment, crying bitterly.

The sound of crying seemed contagious. At first, it was only a few soldiers crying, but later, the whole barracks wailed and cried.

Deng Zhong was patrolling the camp. Seeing that the soldiers' emotions were out of control, although he stopped drinking a few words, the atmosphere in the entire barracks was shrouded in misery. Deng Zhong couldn't stop it, so he had to turn around and report Deng Ai.

"Father, the morale of the army is now scattered. If this continues, they will be defeated without a fight. Does father have a good plan?" Deng Zhong asked Deng Ai worriedly.

Deng Ai's face was serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Hugh is panicked. He has ruled the army for his father for decades, and he has experienced more than a hundred battles. How can such a difficulty be so rare for his father? Pass down the order, the whole army rests tonight, and cooks at the fourth watch. Set off at five o'clock, and fight on the mountain again!"

"Cooking at the fourth watch?" Deng Zhong looked puzzled. Could it be that his father lost his head and didn't know that the army had stopped cooking. Now that there is no grain in the kitchen, what should I use to bury the pot for cooking?Deng Zhong said cautiously: "Father, the army has run out of food and grass..."

Deng Ai said calmly: "I know."

Deng Zhong was even more confused. Since Deng Ai knew that there was no food in the army, why did he still say that? He was about to ask his father what to eat. They had already prepared, and they must have sent people to the nearby mountains to hunt some game to solve the food shortage.Thinking of this, Deng Zhong's stomach groaned in disbelief. After fighting all day, Deng Zhong was already hungry without any water or rice.

But Deng Zhong was still curious. Even though there were some wild beasts in the mountain, their numbers were extremely rare. The two armies of Wei and Shu fought fiercely here, and those clever beasts had already fled away. Even if the people sent by Deng Ai could hunt a few of them It is obviously not realistic for the beast to provide food for 3000 people.

At this time, the Chinese military officer came in and reported, "I'm going to report to the governor, the meal is ready."

Deng Aihu's body was shocked, and he said in high spirits: "Order the troops, prepare to eat!"

When Deng Zhong and Deng Ai appeared in the camp, the Wei soldiers had already lined up neatly, and the gang leaders were busy carrying dozens of cauldrons. The whole camp was filled with the smell of stewed meat, making these hungry The wet soldiers twitched their index fingers when they smelled it. You know, since the march all the way, the Wei army can eat food, only dry dough cakes, occasionally improved, the best food is nothing more than a piece of jerky, and At this moment, such a big pot of delicious food is in front of you, how can you not make your heart beat.

Food is the most important thing for the people, and food and grass are the backbone of the army. The soldiers of the Wei army who were already in a desperate situation due to lack of food have regained their confidence at this moment. Although his eyes were blurry with hunger, and his chest was pressed against his back, no one dared to take a step forward.

Deng Ai stood in front of the army with a stern look on his face, and said loudly: "There is a saying in the art of war, put it to death and then live. Our army suffered heavy casualties today. It can be said that it was the worst defeat since Deng Ai led the army! But , I, Deng Ai, have not conceded defeat, because I still have you, the best children of the Yongliang army! Tomorrow's battle will be a battle that will determine life and death. It is true that we are facing difficulties, but the people of Shu are also at the end of their strength. The Yongliang army can only fight A dead hero, there is no coward who retreats, even if he fights to the last, he must fight to the end and never retreat!"

"Blood battle to the end! Never retreat! Bloody battle to the end! Never retreat..." Although the soldiers were hungry and lacked confidence, the 3000 people shouted in unison, and the momentum could still cut through the cold and silent night sky.

At this moment, the desire and blood of the desperate battle in the Wei soldiers were mobilized again, everyone's spirits were high, their morale was high, and the negative haze disappeared all of a sudden.

Deng Zhong used a few pots of stew and a few words of encouragement for his father to regroup the slack military spirit. He admired him all over the place, and his father was his father. They couldn't help but feel excited, wishing they could rush to the top of Jingjun Mountain and fight the Shu army to the death.

Deng Ai was very satisfied with the current state of the army. He nodded, waved his hand, and said something that everyone had been looking forward to for a long time: "Start eating——"
