Hot Recommendation:

Wu Yi didn't know the young man in the white robe in front of him, but Fu Yi was very familiar with him, after all, he had dealt with him many times, so Fu Yi hurriedly introduced Wu Yi.

"Lord Thorn Shi, this person is Cao Zhi!"

Wu Yi nodded, there was a feeling that he had finally seen the real person, during this period, thanks to Jiang Wei's intention to praise Cao Zhi, Cao Zhi's reputation in Yongliang became more and more resounding.

Wu Yi had been in Hanzhong before, and he didn't know Cao Zhi's specific past, only that Cao Zhi defeated Chen Shi, the defender of Wudu, and also captured Liao Hua who was sent by Hanzhong to attack Wudu.

Later, Jiang Wei sent troops to attack Wudu many times, but each time Cao Zhi was successfully repulsed, resulting in Cao Zhinai's reputation as the first person in Cao Ying, Yongzhou, even in Hanzhong.

"When did the Cao family come out with such a handsome talent, it seems that God bless the Cao family, not to mention Cao Cao, Cao Pi, and Cao Zhi in one breath, the third generation also produced such a capable person as Cao Zhi, and sure enough, the Cao family is thriving!" Wu Yi sighed secretly in his heart.

But at this moment, there are more and more Wei troops besieging them, and it seems that the number is no less than six or seven thousand, and Wu Yi can't afford to think too much, so he hurriedly ordered the Bai'er army to form a formation to defend.

The White Ear Army was a well-disciplined army, and although it had been on the road, it had always maintained a strict formation, with 2,000 men forming a long snake formation along the official road, and 20 hundred infantry phalanxes marching in an orderly manner.

Seeing that there were ambushes on three sides, Fu Yan ordered loudly:

"Formation defense, hedgehog circle!"

With Fu Yan's order, the twenty Baier military phalanx suddenly stopped marching, and quickly took the hundred-person phalanx as a unit, and began to change formations towards the center, defending Wu Yi and Fu Tong and other generals in the center of the circular formation, with the phalanx generals as the core, setting up square shields and super long spears, and quickly forming a hedgehog circle formation on the official road.

After the formation change was completed, the entire official road was as if twenty huge flowers were embroidered on a huge belt. After the Shu army quickly completed the formation, the surging Wei army quickly pounced.

The advantage of the circle array is that there are no dead ends, no matter which direction the enemy attacks from, it will be counterattacked by the White Ear Army, so the circle array has a strong defense.

The Wei army that attacked quickly learned this, and the super long spear of the White Ear Army was one foot and two feet long, and it was stabbed out after it was leveled, and the Wei army did not even have a chance to stick to the close body of the White Ear Army, so it was assassinated by the White Ear Army.

Soon, all the round formations were besieged by the Wei army, but none of the round formations were broken by the Wei army, and the tenacity of the Baier army was extremely reflected at this moment, and it was worthy of being the absolute elite division that followed Liu Bei all the way.

Cao Zhi saw that he was several times the enemy, and attacked for half an hour, although he also killed some of the White-eared Army, but his own battle losses were obviously more, and after fighting for so long, he actually failed to break through a White-Eared Army's round formation, and he was suddenly a little anxious, and he quickly thought about how to break the formation as soon as possible.

Because he knew that once the Shu army found out that it was divided and ambushed by himself, he would definitely try to gather, and once all the Shu troops were gathered, the strength would surpass him, so he made a plan to make Qiang Rui lure most of the cavalry of the Shu army away from the battlefield, causing his own local strength advantage in ambushing the Shu army.

However, I am afraid that this partial superiority in forces will not last long, and it will have to be resolved quickly.

"You can't let the Shu army converge, that's right! The circle cannot be moved, and this is the fatal weakness of the circle array! Cao Zhi suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a way to break the enemy.

The circle seems to be invulnerable, but once the formation is opened, it is almost impossible to move, because no matter which direction it is moved, almost half of the people cannot see the way forward, because the loss of sight will inevitably lead to the inability to move in unison, so that the tight formation of the circle will be loose.

Therefore, once the circle array is placed, it is basically impossible to move, if you want to attack, it is indeed like a hedgehog, there is no way to speak, and it is extremely difficult to fight, but why do you have to bite the hedgehog?

After figuring out this layer, Cao Zhi immediately ordered the whole army to retreat and instead went to besiege the three thousand Wu soldiers of the Pan Ping Division, which was in the midst of the interruption of the encirclement.

On the Wei army's side, the sound of Mingjin sounded one after another, and the Wei army in the fierce attack retreated like a tide, and then under the leadership of Cao Zhi, it rolled eastward, leaving behind the corpses in one place, and ignored the bewildered Bai'er army at all, and rushed directly towards Pan Ping's department.

After seeing Cao Zhi's sudden withdrawal of troops, Fu Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Wu Yi who was in another round formation: "Lord Thorn Shi is okay, right?" Finally repelled Cao Zhi, the dog thief! ”

Unexpectedly, Wu Yi said anxiously:

"Oops, Cao Zhi should have gone to Pan Ping's department, the Wu army under Pan Ping's command does not have the defensive power of the White Ear Army, in case it is surrounded by Cao Zhi's army, I'm afraid it's not good, hurry, we have to go to the rescue as soon as possible."

On Pan Ping's side, the Wu soldiers under his command, except for a small number of recruits recruited later, most of them were veterans of the battlefield, and their equipment was fiercely upgraded, and the three thousand Wu soldiers were not inferior in the face of four thousand fears, although they were ambushed by the Wei army, they quickly stabilized their positions under the encouragement of Pan Ping.

At this moment, the fierce Wu soldiers have gradually occupied the initiative on the battlefield and began to launch a counterattack against the Wei army, as if victory was in sight, Pan Ping's heart was extremely happy, and he could achieve a victory for the first time leading the troops independently, which made him feel extremely proud.

But soon, a large number of Wei troops poured out on the west side of the official road, the number of which was no less than six or seven thousand, and the war drums rumbled, and with the arrival of Wei reinforcements, the total strength of the Wei army on the battlefield quickly became three times that of Pan Ping.

The originally high morale was suddenly gone, and even Pan Ping suddenly lost his morale, facing an enemy three times his size, how could he fight this battle? It's just impossible to fight.

Pan Ping's mind at the moment was full of thoughts about which side he should retreat to if he kept his brothers? If you go west, the enemy's reinforcements will come from the west, and I am afraid it will be difficult to break through. To the east, there are still 5,000 Wudang Flying Army in the east, as well as Qiang cavalry, which can converge with the Shu army faster.

So Pan Ping quickly made a decision: to retreat to the east.

As soon as the decision was made, he did not hesitate and immediately led his men and soldiers to withdraw to the east.

Cao Zhi was overjoyed when he saw this, what he was afraid of was that Pan Ping turned around and fought a decisive battle with himself, and after a long time, he waited for the reinforcements of the Shu army, and he couldn't even return to Wudu smoothly, but Pan Ping retreated to the east, which was just in the middle of the coffin, after all, Wudu City was his world, and Pan Ping's escape to Wudu was not self-defeating?

So he immediately ordered the whole army to bite Pan Ping's troops and horses.

Pan Ping's part was able to fight and retreat at first, but in the end it was found that it was completely impossible to withdraw from the battlefield like this, and gradually, some people began to break away from the queue in order to increase the speed of the march, so more and more soldiers began to follow suit, and the retreat soon became a rout, and the Shu army of several thousand people retreated to the east like crazy.

After running all the way out of two miles, Pan Ping's troops collided head-on with Zhang Xu's Wudang Flying Army, which had just broken out of the encirclement and was rushing towards the west. As if he had seen a savior, Pan Ping hurriedly greeted him.

But Zhang Xu's department also managed to break through, and there were still a large number of chasing soldiers behind, and soon Zhang Xue found that Pan Ping's part was all rout, and Pan Ping also found that Zhang Xu's department also seemed to be in a worrying situation.

Suddenly, although the two divisions converged, they faced a situation where they were intercepted and surrounded by the Wei army in front and back.
