Anti-War Game: Starting from Normandy Campaign-Chapter 724 - 350: [Yinping Surprise Attack: Does That Physique Look 66?]
In the picture.
The 30,000 elite Wei Army led by Deng Ai, armored and carrying packs.
Struggling along the narrow mountain ridge.
Previously, in [Jiang Wei] and [Zhong Hui]'s biographies, there were no marching scenes of the [Yinping Surprise Attack].
But upon witnessing it with their own eyes.
Blue Star viewers in the livestream realized just how difficult it was.
According to Deng Ai's tactical deployment.
Zhong Hui held off Shu's main force under Jiang Wei, while Deng Ai's forces set off from Yinping, traversing over 700 li of uninhabited territory.
To know.
This route was not only fraught with high mountain dangers but was also rarely trodden, virtually nonexistent as a road.
It's hard to imagine in ancient times.
Leading 30,000 troops across 700 li of uninhabited area with just a map required extraordinary command ability.
In the picture, Deng Ai leads the army forward.
When encountering perilous terrain, soldiers connect with ropes, carve paths through mountains, and build bridges over water.
At last reaching Motian Ridge.
The south of Motian Ridge is a sheer cliff, extremely treacherous.
The army cannot pass at all.
Unless they take a far detour on both sides.
But doing so would delay them for days, missing the timing for battle.
At this moment.
On top of Motian Ridge.
Wei army soldiers looked at each other, standing at the edge of the cliff, facing the bottomless abyss, momentarily unsure what to do.
They could only look to the commander Deng Ai ahead. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Some Wei soldiers even showed signs of despair; after days of hiking through mountains and waters, it seemed they had reached a dead end.
At this moment, Deng Ai stood at the cliff edge, gazing down the precipice, and said deeply:
"The Shu rely on this treacherous terrain and must have no defenses."
"Fall off the cliff today, break Shu tomorrow!"
The plan was fixed in his mind.
Then ordered the soldiers to throw their weapons off the cliff, and then take out the felt.
Deng Ai took the lead, wrapped a piece of felt around himself, while Deng Zhong beside him wanted to speak but held back upon seeing his father's calm eyes.
The other officers followed suit, tightly wrapping felt around themselves.
Some closed their eyes in prayer, some clenched charms in their fists.
No one dared to look at the precipice cliffs.
Then.
Deng Ai, under everyone's gaze, wrapped in felt, walked to the edge of Motian Ridge.
Seeing this scene.
Blue Star viewers in the livestream had guessed what was happening, and widened their eyes, as comments floated across:
[What the heck? Is Deng Ai going down first?]
[Wait, if I remember correctly, Deng Ai is 66 years old now, right?]
[Motian Ridge is at an altitude of 2200 meters?!]
[Are you saying a 66-year-old man, rolled down from over 2200 meters high wrapped in felt, not only survived but led an assault all the way to Chengdu to overtake Shu?]
[Damn, this is more outrageous than a novel.]
[Forget Jiang Wei, Zhong Hui, Deng Ai is the real tough guy, going down a cliff wrapped in felt at 66.]
[Have to say, the old guy is really robust.]
[Seriously, I'm 22, and climbing to the 6th floor makes me gasp, while at 66 he rolls down a steep cliff over two thousand meters—no problem at all.]
[Outrageous, simply outrageous.]
Blue Star viewers in the livestream widened their eyes in amazement.
Previously, without the scene of Yinping Surprise Attack, the difficulty wasn't understood well.
But now.
Completely presented.
Blue Star viewers in the livestream just realized how incredibly bold Deng Ai was.
A 66-year-old elder.
Daring to roll down from over 2200 meters' altitude on Motian Ridge with a piece of felt.
Truly durable.
In the picture.
Deng Ai was already at the cliff's edge, wrapped in felt, then looked back at his officers:
"Everyone."
"Celebrate at the mountain's base."
As the words fell.
Turned, and without hesitation, rolled down the steep slope.
Seeing their leader like this.
The soldiers behind were motivated, wrapping felt around them, walking to the cliff's edge, shouting 'Celebrate at the mountain's base' then resolutely rolled down.
The camera zoomed out.
Watching countless figures wrapped in felt, rolling down from the modest slope of over 2200 meters, falling like an ant swarm, leaving countless traces.
Some soldiers' felt tore, gritted their teeth, covered their heads, collided with rocks, blood staining the ground.
Yet the countless rolling soldiers, none stopped.
Rolling down until every soldier descended the cliff.
Uncertain how long they rolled.
As the view pulled to the base of the cliff.
Many soldiers struggled to stand, while Deng Zhong searched eagerly for his father Deng Ai's figure.
Until he saw a familiar helmet in the front, along with the armor beneath ripped felt, Deng Zhong cried out sorrowfully and rushed over, only to see the figure tremble, supporting its body with an arm.
Deng Zhong hurriedly assisted Deng Ai to sit up.
Witnessing this.
Blue Star viewers in the livestream, though aware of the outcome.
Could not help but admire.
Considering they rolled down over 2200 meters high mountain, many young soldiers were killed instantly hitting rocks, trees.
Yet Deng Ai, at the elderly age of 66.
Seemed only superficially injured.
Seeing him being helped up by Deng Zhong, and still able to move.
Blue Star viewers reckoned there was no fracture.
Too impressive.
Blue Star viewers in the livestream praised endlessly.
In the picture.
Deng Ai reassembled the army, leading them forward once more.
Through relentless hardships, they finally traversed the 700 li of uninhabited area.
Reached Jiangyou Pass.
But at the moment, Deng Ai's army was not in good shape.
Just having crossed 700 li of uninhabited wilderness.
Deep into enemy territory, now with no reinforcements, no supplies, and soldiers exhausted, facing Shu forces several times their number, if Deng Ai fails, it would mean total annihilation.
