It was indeed the same as Situ Liang expected, Xiao Tianjian did indeed plan to do so, when he saw this officer army rushing down from the mountain just now, what he wanted was to leave all the more than 100 officers and soldiers, and the terrain here is obviously not suitable, it is easy to defeat this officer army, but it is difficult to eat him in one bite, because of the limitation of the site, they cannot form an encirclement of this officer army, once the officers and troops are frustrated and want to escape, they will not have time to catch up with them, surround them and annihilate them, so after observing the terrain, He came up with this idea, and ordered Zhao Erdonkey and Li Xuanzhu to take the initiative to show weakness to the enemy when they faced this official army, and made a posture of being invincible to them, slowly retreated, and introduced this official army into the open land behind, and then gave them a siege and annihilation.

That's why there is this situation now, Li Xuanzhu and Zhao Erdonkey pressed the formation, and fought and retreated, constantly retreating backwards, letting them rush forward, usually not less practiced, but like this slowly retreated, they also practiced less, because things on the battlefield can be said to be changing rapidly, not only to practice attack, but also to practice defense, Xiao Tianjian also did not ignore the training for retreat, because the battlefield often takes one step back, the enemy will have to advance inch by inch and press two steps, and retreat Sometimes a little careless, it may evolve into a rout, Once you can't hold down the position, the slightest mistake, the original slow retreat, you may be taken advantage of by the enemy, seize the opportunity to fight a rout, in that case, it will immediately trigger a chain of rout, the consequences are unimaginable.

The offensive battle on the battlefield is relatively simpler than the retreat from the battle, and fortunately, Li Xuanzhu and Zhao Erdonkey are the soldiers who have gone through the battle, although they were ordered to retreat, but they did not mess up the formation, under the suppression of Li Xuanzhu and Zhao Erdonkey, they always maintained the defense line without chaos, and slowly retreated backwards in an orderly manner step by step, no one turned around, turned their backs to the enemy, and always faced the enemy, constantly preventing the impact of the official army on them, and constantly taking the opportunity to hunt down some of the adventurous enemy soldiers.

If there are some recruits in front of them today, then Xiao Tianjian probably won't dare to let them retreat easily, once the recruits can't grasp the rhythm of retreating, then the original plan to lure the enemy into a deep battle, if it doesn't work, it will turn into a defeat battle for the enemy to beat them.

This situation has not happened before, when he and Li Zicheng talked about the battle of the rebels in the past few years, Li Zicheng personally said that there were several times when they designed, set up an ambush in the back, so that the rebels in front of them could withstand the attack of the officers and soldiers, and then slowly retreated, introducing the officers and troops into the ambush circle, intending to attack them in a group, but the result backfired, although the rebels in front of the officers and troops were also introduced into the ambush circle, but because they could not grasp the rhythm of retreat, they originally lured the enemy to go deeper, but they were stunned and evolved into a rout. Chased and killed by the rank and tail of the officer, the rout of the rebel army in front of him crashed headlong into the originally set ambush of the soldiers and horses, the result was that the ambush battle was not completed, but was beaten into a rout by the official army, not to mention that it was not a little cheap, but in the end it was defeated by the officers and soldiers, and they scattered and fled, becoming a big joke one by one.

So of course Xiao Tianjian can't make such a mistake again, and ordered the two sentinels of Li Xuanzhu and Zhao Erdonkey to retreat slowly, and gradually introduce the enemy into their encirclement on the premise of ensuring that the formation is not chaotic.

Not only Zhao Erdonkey and Li Xuanzhu were slowly retreating, but Xiao Tianjian pressed the sentinels behind him, and he was also slowly moving backwards, gradually retreating to the open land behind.

After they retreated into this slightly open ground, Yan Chongxi and Luo Li immediately led a sentry general to spread out towards the two wings, so that their original formation formed two wings, making room for the two sentinels of Li Xuanzhu and Zhao Erdonkey to retreat, and gradually the formation of the Xingtian Army began to slowly unfold in this open field, and gradually began to concave down.

And because of the relationship of vision, Liu Wanqing, who led his troops to fight in front of the army, could not see the actions of the enemy, watching the thief army being pressed back by them, he and his officers and soldiers became more and more courageous, shouting what the sky repeatedly rushed towards the thief army in front of him, trying to completely defeat and scatter this thief army, and then take the opportunity to cover up the past, if it is good, it may be possible to disperse all the thief army at once!

However, he did not notice that his group gradually began to fall into the formation of the enemy army, and gradually walked into this open field.

Situ Liang watched Liu Wanqing squeeze into the enemy formation like this, but there was no way to stop them, he was angry and scolded for a long time, and had no choice but to circle the horse and take the more than thirty cavalry around him to turn the horse's head and retreat, because if he didn't retreat, I am afraid that he would follow Liu Wanqing into the enemy's army, Ming looked ahead was a trap, but he couldn't persuade Liu Wanqing back, which made Situ Liang have a strong sense of frustration, and now he can confirm it, This army of thieves is by no means an ordinary army of thieves, not only is it good at fighting, but the leader of the army of thieves is extremely cunning.

After pulling his horse and leading these cavalry back for a distance, he turned his head to look at Liu Wanqing's group of officers and soldiers who had rushed into the open field, sighed on horseback, almost had a feeling of vomiting blood, and looked up at the flag of He Fang on the mountain, he almost felt completely desperate.

After He Fang rectified the troops on the mountain, he turned his head again and looked at the battlefield below the mountain, Liu Wanqing had already forced the thief army to retreat more than 200 steps step by step, but he suddenly found a problem, although the enemy army was suppressed and retreated, but it seemed that it was never broken up by Liu Wanqing, and it had always maintained the formation, and there was no sign of collapse, and he also saw Situ Liang leading the more than 30 cavalry, first following behind Liu Wanqing's department, and suddenly turning the horse's head, broke away from Liu Wanqing's rear team and retreated, not figuring out what the situation was for a while.

But others are in a high place, after all, the field of vision is much wider, after fixing his eyes and looking at it carefully, a cool breath appeared in his heart in vain, and he secretly screamed bad!

"Mingjin! Quickly Mingjin ordered Liu Wanqing to close the team! Hurry up and withdraw it! He Fang suddenly shouted and ordered.

The officers and soldiers who were already ready to go to battle with him couldn't help but be stunned, seeing that Liu Wanqing had already led his troops to defeat the thief army at this time, why did their He Qianzong suddenly order Liu Wanqing to withdraw? Didn't they rush down to help Liu Wanqing defeat this thief army?

So the pro-soldier who gave the order glared at He Fang, thinking that there was something wrong with his ears and misheard He Fang's words.

He Fang turned his head and saw his own soldiers looking at him so stunned, and immediately said angrily: "What are you doing in a daze? Aren't you going to hurry up and order Liu Wanqing to quickly collect his troops and withdraw and wait for death? ”

This time, the soldiers could be sure that there was nothing wrong with their ears, so they asked stupidly: "Isn't Mr. Qian going to take us down?" ”

"Punch! This is a treacherous ploy of the thieves! Liu Wanqing has fallen for the tricks of the thief army! Hurry up and mingle gold! ”

At this time, the soldiers understood why He Fang ordered Mingjin to withdraw the troops, so he hurriedly sent the order to Mingjin, and there was a rapid sound of Mingjin on the mountain.

Liu Wanqing, who was killing and rising, and the officers and soldiers under his command couldn't help but froze when they heard this rapid sound of gold, they were fighting well, why did He Fang suddenly order them to withdraw their troops? Liu Wanqing was a little confused for a while, and turned his head to look at the mountain behind him.

But at this time, there was a sudden shouting of killing on their two wings, and the two sentry thieves suddenly killed them from their two wings, just like two sharp knives, straight into their rear formation, Liu Wanqing's strength was very limited, most of the officers and soldiers in the rear team were unarmored miscellaneous soldiers, and they could run errands, but it was not one for them to fight.

Liu Wanqing only noticed at this moment that the surrounding terrain seemed to suddenly become much more open, and immediately understood why He Fang would coldly order him to withdraw his troops.

Oops! This is Liu Wanqing's first reaction, he was fooled! Liu Wanqing suddenly realized that something was wrong, and he was shocked in his heart, but it was impossible to withdraw his troops and retreat.

In his rear team sounded a wolf-like howl, and after a while, a row of firecrackers sounded, he fixed his eyes and looked around, and his heart suddenly cooled from the boiling point to the freezing point, because he saw the figure of the thief army in all directions, and he and the hundred and ten soldiers under his command were surrounded by the thief army at once, and a group of strong thief troops also appeared on the retreating road, and they were pressed towards them.

After Yan Chongxi led his troops to block the retreat of this thief army, he quickly unfolded the formation and firmly blocked them in the middle, and Li Xuanzhu and Zhao Erdonkey, who were still retreating, immediately stopped retreating, and put down the spears in rows, which suddenly made a dense row of guns appear in front of the officers and soldiers who were impacting their formation, and almost at the same time, the spearmen of these Xingtian Army collectively burst out with a roar: "Kill ......"

A row of spears stabbed out like poisonous snakes, and immediately stabbed the group of officers and soldiers standing in front of them on their backs.

At this point, Liu Wanqing finally understood, what a bullshit defeat! The thief army was basically leading him into this encirclement, but he was still rushing to lead his troops to rush into it just now, but now it is good, before they can react, the thief army surrounded them in the middle, and the figure of the thief army appeared on all sides, and a group of thieves squeezed towards them with spears.
