Newfield.
It was originally the place where Liu Bei and his son were dormant, but now it has become the front line used by Cao Wei general Man Chong to resist the Han army.
After learning about the fall of Fancheng and Xiangyang, Man Chong prepared to use this place to resist Liu Mang's attack.
"Everyone, Xinye is the place where Liu Bei and his son ascended to heaven."
"I expected that Liu Mang would definitely attack the city with all his strength."
"We must not slack off even a little bit, and we must guard the new land for His Majesty!"
Man Chong likes to eat and drink. Although he is a little fat, he is deeply loved by the army.
The Xinye army led by him is already ready for battle.
"Wang Feng! Sun Tai! You two are elite tiger and leopard cavalry."
"Now that you've quit the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and come to serve as a general under me, you will definitely be able to make a name for yourself."
"Except for Guan, Zhang and Zhao Yun, everyone under Liu Mang's command is an unknown person!"
Man Chong is well versed in the art of war. Before a battle, he frantically injects blood into his own generals.
"General... don't forget Gan Ning, who robbed Cao's camp with hundreds of horses..."
"This man even killed General Cao Chun. His martial arts skills are probably not weaker than those of the Five Tigers!"
Wang Feng thought to himself, "The two of us are indeed brave in fighting, but we are not stupid either. We like to die!"
Sun Tai nodded, the five tigers were invincible, and the dominating greedy wolf must not pursue him.
This is already an unwritten rule in the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
The Five Tiger Generals, as well as Hai Hai Gan Ning and Greedy Wolf Wei Yan, must not be provoked.
As for the others?
Wang Feng and Sun Tai think they have nothing to fear!
As Man Chong expected, Liu Mango suddenly chose to attack Xinye.
…
Han army camp.
Hearing that Liu Mang's sword was pointing at Xinye, all his subordinates were asking about the reason.
The generals were eager to try and all wanted to go there in person.
"Prince, Yun invites you to fight!"
Zhao Yun took a step forward and volunteered. As one of Liu Mang's most trusted people, he would take the lead in every battle.
"Zilong! I noticed why you are a little unconscious?"
"How long has it been since I last fought? You fought Xingba in the Battle of Fancheng!"
"Lu Ziming's sneak attack, it was the second brother who stole the show! I'm the only one who hasn't fought yet!"
Zhang Fei was arrogant, and he was always far ahead in making arguments.
After hearing this, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and Gan Ning immediately chose to close their doors.
After all, what Zhang Fei said makes sense. You can't leave any soup for your good brother.
"My eldest nephew! Seeing that your second uncle and fourth uncle have both made great achievements in war, shouldn't it be time to think about your third uncle?"
Zhang Fei rubbed his hands excitedly, and Xiao Xinye attacked them, no problem!
"Third General, this is wrong!"
As Zhang Fei was speaking, he saw Deng Ai step forward.
"The three generals have a remarkable reputation and are ranked among the Five Tiger Generals."
"How could you condescend to attack a small town like Xinye?"
"From the perspective of the general, Wancheng is more suitable for the performance of the three generals, so I will leave Xinye to the general!"
As a scholar of Liu Mang, Deng Ai decisively asked Ying to fight.
"Prince, the last general has not made any great achievements since his defection!"
"In this battle, I would like to go with Shi Zai, and I hope the prince will agree!"
Taishi Ci also asked Ying to go.
When father and son entered the battle, Taishi Heng bowed his hands in salute, hoping that Liu Mang would agree.
"Uncle Ziyi, Shizai, you three must think carefully."
"The guard of the new field is full of favors. He is definitely an extraordinary person. This person is no less talented than Cao Ren."
"It's a pity that the second uncle, the third uncle, and the fourth uncle are well-known, and it's easy to confirm their reputation when going to Xinye!"
"How about I personally lead you to attack the city."
Inviting the generals to join the fierce generals, Liu Mang's words made Deng Ai and Taishi Ci full of fighting spirit.
"Prince! Deng Ai only needs fifteen thousand men to conquer Xinye!"
What?
When the generals heard this, they all felt incredible. You must know that there are at least 50,000 defenders in Xinye now!
Attacking a city is inherently more difficult than defending it, not to mention that Deng Ai's troops are still at a disadvantage.
"Shi Zai, there is no joking in the army, be careful with your words and deeds!"
Guan Yu caressed his beautiful beard. He was pleased with the young people's arrogance, but he also wanted to remind them that they should not underestimate the enemy so much.
"I would like to issue a military order!"
Deng Ai's eyes were full of determination, "Nanyang County is my hometown! I am already familiar with this place and I will definitely defeat the enemy!"
Liu Mang raised the corners of his mouth, Deng Ai was his direct descendant, and now was the time to become famous!
There is nothing better than using full favor as a touchstone.
"Shizai, I will give you eighteen thousand men, and with the help of uncle Ziyi and Taishi Heng, we will definitely conquer Xinye!"
"Remember, Xinye is the place where my father made his fortune, and it must not fall into the hands of Cao thieves."
Liu Mang had already selected a candidate, and all the generals bowed their hands to Deng Ai and saluted. This was the blessing of the Han army Baoze who hoped that his comrades could win.
"Prince, don't worry, Deng Ai will never disgrace his mission!"
Deng Ai soon led 18,000 people to Xinye.
Fortunately, this battle was assisted by Taishi Ci and his son, both of whom were rare warriors on the battlefield.
"Thank you so much, General Ziyi, for being willing to condescend to be my deputy general!"
Deng Ai cupped his fists and saluted, thanking Tai Shici.
With the opponent's qualifications and strength, it is not an exaggeration to lead an army alone.
"You don't have to be polite, Shizai. The prince has already told me. He expected that you would take the initiative to invite Ying to fight."
Taishi Ci smiled calmly: "You have always been a talent that the prince values! We old guys will retire sooner or later, so naturally we have to help you at this time!"
"Besides, in the past few years, Heng'er and I have been together less and more apart, so we can make up for the love between father and son in the army."
Tai Shiheng nodded. He had no idea about the generals and deputy generals. As long as he could fight for Liu Mang alongside his father, he would be willing to do so.
"Brother Shizai, you were the prince's former close minister, and it was only by inheriting your position that I had the opportunity to serve the prince."
"You don't have to be polite to me on the battlefield, I will go all out."
Taishi Heng was a man of few ruthless words. Seeing how cooperative his father and son were, Deng Ai gained a lot of confidence in this battle.
…
Newfield.
Man Chong sent scouts to investigate, and soon learned the names of the invading enemy generals.
"Deng Ai? This person seems to be unknown!"
At least in the eyes of Central Plains celebrities like Man Chong, Deng Ai's reputation in Jiaozhou was as good as nothing.
"General, I heard that this person was Liu Mang's scholar before."
When Man Chong heard this, he suddenly realized.
"I didn't expect that Liu Mang would inevitably be nepotistic!"
"On the battlefield, the situation is changing, dragons are roaring and tigers are roaring, the little book boy is really ridiculous!"
"I will completely defeat this kind of connected person."
Man Chong waved his hand and ordered his men to stand ready.
He looked down on Deng Ai for his connections, but he would not look down on the Han army!
At least Cao Pi led Sima Yi to fight in person and still lost to Liu Mang, which shows that the Han army is strong.
"Nowadays, if anyone still thinks that Xinye is a small town, they are totally wrong!"
After several years of operation, Manchong has already changed the appearance of Xinye.
Under the fortified city, even if the Han army can really conquer it, it will lose its troops and generals.
"General... I have something to report!"
"Just tell me!"
"When I look at the enemy's troops, it seems that there are less than 20,000!"
Twenty thousand versus fifty thousand?
Man Chong was filled with murderous thoughts, "Little book boy, do you really look down on me, Man Boning?"
