As soon as the two armies faced each other, Deng Lai could see that this Qin army was the Qin army that retreated ahead of schedule after discovering his intentions. As soon as he was overjoyed, he stepped forward and shouted, "The Qin army on the other side!" Are you the Qin army that discovered my intentions yesterday and retreated ahead of schedule? If so, please come out and speak! I am Deng Lai, the commander of the Wei army's death army. I admire your command skills! ”

After Ying Jian heard this, he fought for a long time, and now he knew that the other party was just a commander named Deng Lai. Wei Jun is really ready! He also wanted to meet with this division commander, so he walked out of the military formation and shouted to the opposite side: "I am the chief general of this Qin army, and the division commander wins the sword." You don't have to admire me. It was with your fifty sergeants that I discovered your intentions, armed only with short weapons and defensive shields; However, I still lost to you. If you wipe out one of my brigades, it means that you are better than me, so I should admire you. When we meet today, we won't say much, but we can speak. If I still lose today, I will quit the Qin army. ”

Deng Lai took a few steps forward, and after less than thirty steps from Ying Jian, he laughed and said, "Young man! At such a young age, he is a teacher. At your time, I was still a captain of hundreds. Winning or losing a war is a home-cooked meal, so why quit. If you withdraw, the Qin army will lose one of its generals. Good! We have spoken, and we have met. It's a hero and a hero, let's go to war! After saying that, he turned back and returned to his military formation at the same time as Ying Jian. After the two returned to the military formation, they gave the order at the same time: beat the drums!

For a moment: in the small mountain flatland, it was shaken by the drums of both sides, and then by the shouts of the sergeants of both sides brought by the drums. The white Wei army and the black Qin army, like two black and white mountain torrents, suddenly collided in this mountain canyon, and the sound of collision caused a storm in the river and the sea, which made people feel that the valley had shaken.

The Wei army is indeed fierce, just a front army of 500 people, it charged with a long weapon that is not afraid of death, and the 500 front army of the Qin army Wang Xuan was swaying in shock, if it weren't for the brotherhood, Wang Qiang, who was arranged behind him, sent troops to supplement his rear line in time, and used bows and arrows to cover the crossbow archers on the back road of the Wei army for him, otherwise in less than half an hour, Wang Yan's army would have dispersed.

The Wei army saw that the Qin army's front army was crumbling, and immediately two left and right armies of 500 men each launched an attack on the two flanks of the Qin army's zigzag formation. The left army attacked the right army of the Qin army, that is, the right flank of Wang Li's front army. The right army attacked the left army of the Qin army, that is, the Wang Jun brigade of the Qin army's zigzag formation. Wang Jun said well, five hundred against five hundred, no matter how powerful your Wei army is, I can resist you for a while; But Wang Xian was miserable, 500 people were pressed and beaten by thousands of people, or under the precursor of the 500 people who had just been attacked by the Wei army and were about to disperse.

Deng Lai wanted this effect, he used superior forces to attack one point, seek a breakthrough, and then expand into the result of victory. The rush of thousands of Wei troops is not a place where Wang Yan's 500 people can resist, even if he has shrunk into a ball, he does not hesitate to expose his brother on his back and face the Wei army directly, but he still can't resist the Wei army's desperate attack.

As soon as Ying Jian saw it, he didn't care what the zigzag military formation was, and directly ordered Wang Jun to join the battle group, and only used his own personal guards of 100 people to defend the back road. As soon as the Qin army's 500 post-500 troops joined, it became a melee. Two thousand men of fifteen hundred, gathered in this narrow valley and fought in a mass. Ying Jian didn't care about anything else at this time, just silently counted the time in his heart, just staring at Wei Jun to see if they were tired.

The two armies were also heroic, and the two sides had been fighting fiercely for nearly two quarters, and they did not show fatigue, but became more and more brave and fierce the more they fought. Even the new army of the Qin army, after two days of fierce fighting, seems to have become an old army, fighting with great success, and in front of the strong Wei Wushu, it will not fall behind. After Ying Jian was very satisfied with the rapid maturity of his sergeants, he began to worry about these sergeants. As soon as he was worried, he began to doubt his own practice of sacrificing the lives of his sergeants in exchange for victory. At this time, he decided to keep this batch of sergeants tempered from the pile of dead, keep one more, and the Qin army will have one more captain and brigade commander. Thinking of this, Winning Sword ordered: "Fight and fight and retreat!" ”

As soon as the drums sounded, the Qin army in the fierce battle thought that Yingjian would launch an offensive to encircle and annihilate this Wei army in advance, so they all lifted their spirits and high morale, and they covered each other according to the tactics they had trained in advance, and retreated to the mountain pack less than a few hundred steps behind them.

Deng came to take a look: What kind of reputation is this Qin army doing? The fight was good, and the two sides did not distinguish the winner or loser, but the Qin army lost more sergeants in the battle, so why retreat? Is there a ghost? But when I think that the Qin army is here, in addition to the halfway up the mountain five hundred steps away, there are still 300 people covering the back road, what the hell are you doing, you won't use a few thousand people to surround and annihilate me, right? But Deng Lai was a cautious man, and he ordered: The Wei army, which was fighting with the Qin army, entangled the Qin army and followed the attack on the mountain! On the one hand, military scouts were sent to each flank for one mile to find out if there were any Qin troops. He took a thousand people who did not participate in the battle, followed the battle groups of both sides in the fierce battle, and slowly advanced towards the mountain bag. What he thought was: Your Qin army is in an ambush, and the army is sent to cover and kill me from my back, and my 2,500 troops will crush your 1,800 army, which is also a matter of half an hour. By the time you got there, I'd have already run away.

In fact, Ying Jian gave up the idea of killing Deng Lai, and just retreated to the mountain in advance to hold on, so as to reduce the battle losses of his subordinates and save some capital for the fierce battles in the future. How do you know that his subordinates misunderstood what he meant, in the fierce battle, they couldn't communicate, the two sides fought and retreated, the more angry they were, the deeper the hatred, and they were all fighting with each other. This time, when the battle group retreated to the foot of the mountain, Gongzi Shen's three hundred guards were already impatient to wait, and they did not wait for the order of the winning sword, so they came to the foot of the mountain in advance, and suddenly intervened, blocking a wave of fierce attacks of the Wei army, and letting nearly five hundred Qin troops retreat to the mountainside to rest and replenish. Seeing that the marshal's personal guards had made meritorious contributions, and without waiting for Ying Jian's order, they also suddenly intervened, blocking a wave of Wei troops, and letting go of hundreds of Qin troops to retreat to the mountainside to recuperate. The interception of these 400 fresh forces was very effective. When Ying Jian saw it, he had no choice but to order: these four hundred guards guarded the foot of the mountain, and let the rest of the Qin army withdraw to the mountainside to rest and replenish.

The 400 Qin troops were divided into battle groups of three, and the three groups formed an inverted triangle formation, even defending the footboard less than 500 paces wide to block the Wei army's attack.
