Some people are like this, when you don't need him, you will think that he is in the way of your eyes, so you will send him away; But when something really happens, it's these people who can be relied on.

Because these are the people who are really talented.

Zhang Wu was sent to the camp of the Liang army, but he couldn't be sent for a while, and Wang Zongshou and the others looked like six gods without masters, and they didn't know how to deal with it at all.

At this time, a guard came to report, and it turned out that Zhao Ben, who was in front, asked him for help.

"Not bad! At this time, the middle lane must be stabilized, and the enemy must not be allowed to break through the middle lane! Wei Qun, you immediately lead an army of 10,000 to reinforce the middle lane! Wang Zongshou's eyes lit up, as if he had found some clever plan, and hurriedly ordered.

Wei Qun hurriedly pleaded: "Your Highness, the middle road is almost untenable, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist just sending 10,000 troops, so let's send a little more troops!" ”

Let him lead 10,000 troops to save the rout in the middle of the road, Wei Qun did not have the slightest confidence in his heart.

Some other generals also spoke out one after another: "Your Highness, the battle situation in the middle road is too relevant at this time, and the safety of the middle road must be guaranteed. ”

"That's... What do you think should be? Wang Zongshou hesitated.

Wei Qun stood up, pointed to the battle situation in front of him, and said, "Your Highness, you see, the enemy army obviously wants to break through from the middle and then sweep the two wings; That is to say, the enemy has broken through to the middle of our army. ”

"At this time, if our army can invest some more troops to stabilize the middle road, and then cooperate with the two wings, we can besiege the enemy army that has broken through to the middle of our army; If it goes well, there is still a possibility of winning this battle! ”

Wang Zongshou hesitated when he heard this.

Although he is not good at fighting, he still understands some of the most basic art of war.

Now that the enemy is trying to break through from the middle, if the Shu army can thwart their attempt, then it is really possible to cooperate with the two flanks to encircle and suppress the enemy army.

However, Wang Zongshou also understands that this kind of chance of turning defeat into victory is too slim.

At this time, what he was thinking about was how to repel the enemy army, retreat the main force of the Shu army, and then defend with the Liang army and the Jingnan army to maintain an invincible and undefeated situation.

He felt that in that case, at least it would be much more reliable than the so-called reversal of defeat into victory.

Seeing that he was still hesitating, Wei Qun then persuaded: "Your Highness, even if you want to accept the retreat of our army, you must have enough troops to do it, right?" If there are fewer troops, let alone a retreat, even the reinforcements themselves may fall into it! ”

Wang Zongshou made up his mind when he heard this, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, this king will give you 15,000 troops to go to the rescue." Remember, I don't expect you to turn defeat into victory, just hope that you can successfully meet the retreat of our army, and remember not to be greedy! ”

"The last general understands!" Wei Qun bowed.

Although he was only given 15,000 troops, he also understood that this was almost the limit of the troops that Wang Zongshou could give him.

Because the total strength of the Shu army was actually not as many as 50,000 as Yang Wu and others had expected, in fact there were only 48,000 people, and the rest were all injured and sick, and they were unbearable to fight.

After giving Wei Qun 15,000 men, the remaining available troops in Wang Zongshou's hands were only 3,000 people, which could barely be used to defend the rear.

Therefore, Wei Qun did not expect Wang Zongshou to give him more troops, so he led the troops very happily.

Soon, the fifteen-thousand-strong army slowly moved forward, ready to meet the retreat of the army in front.

However, what Wang Zongshou and other generals didn't know was that just after the fifteen-thousand-strong army left the Shu army's main formation, Yang Wu and the others on the opposite side were overjoyed.

"It's really surprising that the Shu army dispatched the last reserve army so quickly! But since Wang Zongshou wanted to send the army to the door so much, how could Lone refuse? Yang Wu thought in his heart.

"Hou Zan listens to orders!" Yang Wu shouted, he was already ready to use cavalry.

The reason why it was not used before was because the enemy still had reserves, and the battle situation had not developed to the most critical time, so Yang Wu did not use cavalry for the time being.

But now that the Shu army has used the last resort, the Wu army will naturally not stay behind.

"The end will be! King, but you want to go around behind the enemy army and attack? Hou Zan replied loudly.

There was also a hint of excitement in his eyes, which was the feeling of blood boiling from the imminent charge.

Yang Wu smiled, shook his head and said, "No, you guys go behind the enemy, but don't be busy attacking the enemy's rear road first, go to deal with Wang Zongshou first!" ”

"Deal with Wang Zongshou first?" Hou Zan was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.

At this time, the main force of the Shu army has been dispatched, and the troops left by Wang Zongshou's side must not be much, and with 3,000 cavalry to attack it, it will definitely be able to defeat the Shu army left behind in a short time.

When the time comes, Wang Zongshou will either choose to flee immediately, or choose to be captured.

And whether they are captured or fleeing, after losing the command of Wang Zongshou, the commander, the Shu army will inevitably lose their fighting spirit, and their collapse will be inevitable.

"The last general guarantees to complete the task and capture Wang Zongshou alive!" Hou Zhan laughed and saluted Yang Wu, then turned on his horse and galloped away under the protection of the guards.

Soon, 3,000 cavalry, under the command of Hou Zhan, made a detour from the left side, preparing to avoid the frontal battlefield where the two armies were fighting, and roared behind the enemy.

Although the tens of thousands of troops of the two armies fought fiercely, and the front of the two armies stretched for several miles, and the cavalry needed to make a long detour to reach the enemy's rear, but at this time, Hou Zan naturally would no longer feel sorry for the horsepower.

……

On the left flank of the coalition army, when the Shu army was frightened and panicked because of the Wu army's breakthrough in the middle, because the distance was relatively far, the Liang army did not realize the difficulties encountered by the Shu army at first.

At this time, Kou Yanqing and Liu Jun were still baffled by Wu Jun's actions.

Because they determined that the main direction of attack of the Wu army should be on their side, even Mi Zhicheng's sudden retreat was considered by them to be a temporary retreat in preparation for a large-scale attack.

Kou Yanqing and the others immediately ordered all departments to prepare for defense, and even Gao Jichang's Jingnan army also received an order, this time to resolutely defend and not let the enemy break through the defensive line.

However, after waiting patiently for a long time, Wu Jun did not move at all, which made Kou Yanqing and the others faintly realize that something was wrong.

However, what exactly is wrong, they are not sure for the time being.

"General, there is no movement on our side, but the Shu army on the right flank is fighting hotly, could it be ......" Liu Jun asked with some concern.

"I don't know, but I hope it's not like that!" Kou Yanqing smiled bitterly and shook his head.

If their predictions were true, it would mean that all the preparations they had made for this big battle were wrong.

It is difficult to achieve victory by using a completely wrong combat strategy against an enemy army that is not weaker than oneself.

"General, whether our prediction is wrong or not, the last general thinks we can't just wait!" Liu Jun continued.

"What do you mean......"

"Since the enemy army is not attacking, then we might as well take the initiative to attack, at least to share the pressure on the Shu army on the right flank, and contain the strength of the Wu army, so that they can't support their left flank!" Liu said.

Kou Yanqing pondered for a moment and said categorically: "Okay, then let's send troops to attack!" With the containment of the Shu army, even if the enemy's right flank is strong, it will not be much stronger than ours, and we can still do it if we join forces with the Jingnan army to contain the enemy army! ”

Kou Yanqing made up his mind, but before he could give the order, Zhang Wu ran over with a panicked face and said: "The two generals are not good, our right flank is in danger, please send the two generals to rescue quickly!" ”

Kou Yanqing and the others were shocked, and the right wing was in danger? This is big news, no wonder Zhang Wu is so panicked.

"General Zhang, what the hell is going on? Didn't the right flank take the initiative to attack the enemy? Why is it suddenly in danger? Could it be that the main forces of the enemy are on their left flank? Kou Yanqing hurriedly asked.

Liu Jun also looked at Zhang Wu with an anxious face.

"Two generals, we are all wrong, we are all wrong! The main forces of the enemy army are all on the left flank, and their right flank basically does not have many troops! Our Shu army took the initiative to attack, but was attacked by the enemy, and now the middle of our army is going to be broken through, the situation is critical, and the two generals are invited to immediately send troops to attack the enemy's right flank, in order to divide the enemy's momentum! Zhang Wu hurriedly replied.

Suddenly, as if the entire battlefield was quiet, Kou Yanqing and Liu Yan could no longer hear the noisy fighting sounds in their ears, only the words "the middle road is going to be broken through" echoed in their minds.

The corners of Kou Yanqing's mouth trembled even more anxiously, obviously frightened by the news.

The enemy concentrated the main forces on the left flank, and they had a similar bad feeling just now.

However, no matter how they thought about it, in just such a small half an hour, the Shu army on the right flank suffered such a heavy setback, and even the middle was about to be broken through by the enemy.

"General Zhang, although the situation is urgent now, there is no shortage of such a moment, and I would like to ask General Zhang to make it clear, what is the situation on the right flank, why is it that even the middle lane is about to be broken through?" Liu Jun could barely stabilize his mind and asked Zhang Wu.

"yes, what the hell is going on? It stands to reason that even if the enemy concentrates the main force on the left flank, the strength of their left flank will not be much stronger than that of the Shu army, after all, the right flank of the enemy army must leave enough troops to contain our army and the Jingnan army. So why did the Shu army break through the middle of the enemy so quickly? Kou Yanqing also asked.

"Two generals, the specific news is not very clear below, let's let the herald come and talk about it!" Zhang Wu was also in the camp of the Liang army, so naturally he didn't know much about the situation on the Shu army's side.

It was he who took the initiative to send someone to inquire about the situation of the Shu army, and only then did he know what happened on the right wing. 10
