As soon as Zhang Xiufang took the lead and defeated the Cao army for a while, Xiahoudun immediately used the essence of the Flying Bear Army to expose the flaws to lead the enemy cavalry to attack and regain a city with a blow, and the battle situation between the two sides returned to the original point, but the latter's success had more to do with Ma Dai's lack of experience. This is also the Yan army's underestimation of Cao Jun's raid on Xiongguan, otherwise Ma Chao will send Pang De to lead the army here even if he can't come in person, and if Fang Cai is Ling Ming to lead the army, he will not be as impulsive as Ma Dai, between the two armies, excellent generals must learn the method of forbearance, of course, this is also the only way for Ma Dai to mature, and it is also the only way for all generals!

In the face of the elite of Yizhou under Zhang Ren Yanyan, even if the opponent's number is twice as large as his own, the Flying Bear Army is also free, and this time from Jingzhou to Shuzhong, there is no foot soldier who can pose a threat to them in a head-to-head confrontation! But this situation has changed after they have faced the same neatly groomed Chang'an battalion foot soldiers, whether it is individual combat strength or war changes, including the soldiers' military efforts, this infantry military array composed of veterans of the Yanyun Battalion can compete with the Flying Bear Army! Although the Cao army with Dian Wei Cao Zhang has the upper hand above the peak combat power, it is difficult for personal martial arts to play a big role in the melee of the infantry army, even Liu Yi's Lianshan battle is also forced to do so, with his perverted physical strength, it will be a big impact after this battle!

The infantry battle is focused on the formation, which is extremely important for both sides, especially for the Flying Bear Army, Zhang Xiu's calmness makes the Sizhou battalion cavalry suffer little damage, and still maintain good combat effectiveness, any slight confusion in the enemy phalanx on the battlefield will immediately become the target of the Ma Dai cavalry attack, Dian Wei and Cao Zhang must also be on guard against the other party's comeback at any time!

Both sides did their best in this battle, and the situation on the battlefield was slightly favorable for the Cao army after all the soldiers were strangled together, after all, they had the upper hand in numbers, and in the head-to-head battle, it would be difficult for the Yan army's equipment battalion to play a great role! However, looking at the still calm other party, Xiahoudun didn't dare to be careless in his heart, this situation must have been judged by Zhang Xiu before the war, the reason why he dared to do so must be that there must be a backhand! Although he calls the other party a nameless general, how can he have the heart of despising the enemy in his heart through the contact of Fang Cai? With the performance of the Yan Army, if Zhang Xiu retreated with one force, he might not be able to inflict too much damage on him!

The last 8,000 infantry army Xiahoudun has been pinched in his hands and did not immediately put into the battlefield, Sima Yi on the side also agrees in his heart, now put it into it can undoubtedly increase the advantage of Cao's army but it is difficult to achieve the goal of defeating the enemy in one fell swoop, but as the battle progresses, the fierce battle will make the physical strength of the soldiers on both sides pass quickly, and then hit it with the power of thunder will have different effects, and they must also reserve their strength to guard against the enemy's possible backhand at any time, In a battle duel, it is extremely dangerous for either side to exhaust their strength first, and if they cannot defeat their opponents.

Xiahoudun and Sima Yi's analysis of the battle situation is not wrong, if Zhang Xiu knows that the strength is not as good as the other party, and he is still dealing with the enemy like this, he is not worthy of the position of commander of the Chang'an battalion, just half an hour later, Mu Shun and Yang Ang led 10,000 Hanzhong troops to join the battlefield, their impact target is the right wing of the Cao army, Zhang Xiu has made all kinds of explanations to Mu Shun when he returned to the battle, and the Hanzhong army arrived quite timely, and their joining immediately restored the balance of the battle situation!

This is the first time that the Yan army and the Hanzhong army have cooperated in combat, and the two sides naturally lack an in-depth understanding of each other's combat power and combat habits, not to mention seamless cooperation, the best tactics for such two armies are to fight separately, and the flank of the Cao army from the periphery is the embodiment of this tactical idea, and it is also one of the explanations of Zhang Xiu to Mu Shun! Obviously, at this time, Zhang Xiu's preparation played a role, as the commander of an army, the things that need to be observed and decided are extremely complicated, especially in the time of the big war, their decisions must not only be accurate but also fast, otherwise they will lose the fighter!

In fact, at the moment of the confrontation with the enemy, Zhang Xiu had the opportunity to lead the army to retreat, but as an outpost of the Battle of Sizhou, this contact is of great significance to both sides, after all, the two strong armies have not fought each other for two years, and understanding the changes in the opponent's combat strength is naturally a detailed basis for the next big war, for Zhang Xiu, and for Xiahoudun! Of course, this is also based on accurate observation and the measurement of one's own strength, if the difference in strength is too great, Zhang Gongxing will immediately lead the army and retreat without hesitation!

The fierce fighting lasted for two hours, and the corpses of countless soldiers on both sides had fallen on the battlefield, and when the sun set, the horn of the Yan army sounded first, and all the military formations began to shrink slowly! It is a contraction rather than a retreat, or a precursor before the retreat, how to retreat steadily when the two sides are strangled in one place requires an accurate grasp of the situation, once the judgment is wrong, the retreat of one side is very likely to cause a sharp turn in the momentum of victory and defeat!

The Yan army marched like the wind, the battle array fought bravely, the way to retreat is also alert and lawful, just after the horn sounded next to Zhang Xiu for a while, the sound of Ming Jin also came from the Cao army's array, the generals on both sides are aware of it, it is impossible to completely defeat the other party in such a situation, so it is natural to withdraw the troops and strike the war in vain is naturally more effective than to waste troops in vain, in this situation, one party takes the initiative to shrink and the other side also tacitly retreats on the battlefield is a commonplace situation!

When both sides are out of the battlefield and re-arrayed each other, there will be their own team of soldiers into the body of their comrades, at this time even if the two sides are close at hand will not have any action, this is the practice after the battle on the battlefield is evenly matched, the body of the soldier who died on the battlefield must be properly placed, this is also the consensus of both sides, in the siege war is also general, the defenders of the city head will not be the attacker who converges the soldiers.

"Chang'an Camp, Zhang Gongxing! This person's reputation under Liu Yi is far less than that of Gan Zhao Zhang Xu and other generals, but today's battle is a changeable battle formation, and there is a way to command the troops. Xiahoudun and Ma Zhengse said, talking about the rich experience of fighting with the Yan army, he and his brother really don't think secondly, although the strength of today's enemy army is still a little behind the second army of the dragon and the tiger and the guard, but it is also extremely good, especially Zhang Xiu can be the commander and really has the talent of a general, this battle can be said to be equal!

"Liu Yi's subordinates have always had the reputation of being good at fighting, and the elite of the Yan army is not unexpected, but this time the gate of Shuzhong has been obtained by our army, even if Zhang Zicai occupies the lord of Hanzhong, he also has the power to defend steadily, and the soldiers have fought hard for a long time, and today it is such a fierce battle, and the general still quickly returns to the army to close the border and then make plans!" Sima Yi, who was on the side, said that he had also seen the combat power of the Yan army in the first battle of Sizhou.

"King Yan has always regarded Cao Mengde as a strong enemy, now this Xiahou Yuan is worthy of the talent of the general, the elite of the Yanzhou army is not under our army, Jia Mengguan fell into his hands and then want to take it is difficult, the order to go down, the whole army retreated thirty miles to the village, and immediately quickly reported to the military division to make another calculation!" Xiahoudun led the army to retreat, Zhang Xiu also ordered the whole army to retreat and camp, now that the situation has changed, what he has to do is to wait for the next order of King Yan and the military division while monitoring the enemy army!
