Li Dian didn't know what the "demon law" in Zhang Fei's army was, according to reason, at this time, Li Dian should first stabilize the army's heart, find a way to figure out what the opponent's "demon law" is, and then attack after coming up with a countermeasure.

The rational idea is that it should be like this, but what Li Dian lacks most now is time.

The fire in front has been on fire for a while, and he can hear the shouts of killing, in this case, he Li Dian will slowly test the enemy's attack routine. In the future, even if Xiahoudun escapes, he will not have any good fruits to eat after he goes back.

After all, it was Xiahoudun, Cao Cao's cronies and beloved generals, and there was no room for loss.

Therefore, Li Dian had no choice but to let the first defeated soldiers go to the rear camp to act as a reserve, and at the same time organize the formation and establishment.

As for Li Dian himself, he reorganized 2,000 people, and this time he personally went into battle to command, so he had to see what happened.

Then Li Dian understood that it was not a demon method, it was just an arrow with a burning shaft.

And Li Dian also found that although these arrows were all on fire, they didn't burn for a long time, and basically burned the arrow shaft, so the fire was extinguished.

In this way, Li Dian knows how to defend himself, just like an ordinary arrow.

But Li Dian understands it, it doesn't mean that his soldiers also understand it.

Some are bold and obedient, and they know how to defend, but some are timid, even if they know that it is an arrow, but when they see this ball of fire crashing over, they still have to be chaotic.

The problem of uneven quality of the army is not only for Liu Beijun, but also for Cao Caojun.

Not to mention that this time Li Dian brought ordinary Cao soldiers, and Zhang Fei's side was also an elite soldier who had been trained for more than a year.

In the matter of offense and defense, the attacker will always suffer a little loss, and the attacker can't even spread the offensive formation, and the soldiers don't have a complete advantage in troops. Anyway, Li Dian has no way at all.

It was only possible to pause the second attack, then reorganize the formation, replenish the men, and carry out the third attack.

And this third attack is really fatal.

Because Li Dian is desperate.

Li Dian took his own personal troops as the backbone, supplemented by some soldiers who had performed well in the previous two attacks, and once again gathered 2,000 men, still under his personal command, leading the army to attack Zhang Fei's team.

No way, although Li Dian doesn't have enough time now, his advantage is that there are many people.

If it doesn't work once, it will be twice, and if it doesn't work twice, it will be three times, and if it maintains a continuous impact for a long time, Li Dian doesn't believe that he can't open the gap.

This time, the "power" of the rocket suddenly decreased a lot.

Failed to cause substantial damage twice in a row, just looking at the scary Cao Jun is not stupid, even if the things that can't hurt people look scary, it's useless.

Cao Jun, who was no longer afraid of the unknown, easily broke through the blockade of the rocket and marched in front of Zhang Feijun's formation.

Then it's time for the head-to-head battle.

The power of the Mandarin Duck Array was still the same as ever, and although Cao's army attacked several times, it was unable to break through the first line of defense in Zhang Fei's army.

But in the same way, Sergeant Zhang Feijun also began to suffer casualties.

Last time, Cao Ren used 500 soldiers to test and attack 800 Zhang Fei's soldiers.

But this time, Li Dian directly pressed 2,000 people, and the opponent was still 800 Zhang Fei's soldiers.

The remaining 150 people, the colonel to which Kou Feng belonged, were retained as reserves at Zhang Xi's suggestion.

Kou Feng looked at the battle in front of him, and he was anxious to die, and he couldn't wait to rush forward with his soldiers to kill the enemy now.

But Zhang Fei didn't speak, Zhang Xi had a straight face, he couldn't help anyone, and he knew that the military order was like a mountain, so he could only circle around Zhang Fei and Zhang Xi.

As the battle on the battlefield gradually stalemate, especially the casualties in Zhang Fei's army slowly increased, Kou Feng couldn't help it.

"General, let the young general go out at this time, it is the time when the two armies are stalemate, Feng Yuan leads the troops and horses of the headquarters to kill, and directly takes the commander of the Cao army, and he will win in one battle!"

Kou Feng was quite excited to ask for battle.

But Zhang Fei just glanced at him and ignored him.

The little guy's courage is commendable, but this battlefield insight is still far behind. At this time, when the army is not chaotic, to attack Li Dian's main formation, that is, to send him to death.

Zhang Xi is Kou Feng's brother anyway, although he doesn't see it as clearly as Zhang Fei, he also feels that this is not a good time to rush into battle.

called Kou Feng and explained to this kid, "Gongzhong, look, there are still hundreds of soldiers around Li Dian, and there are thousands of guards behind him, although the morale of the soldiers behind him is low, but people don't need to take you into battle, only one person shoots a bow and arrow, these thousands of bows and arrows are fired in a volley, are you going to rush into battle, or are you going to die?!" ”

When Zhang Xi said this, Zhang Fei, who was angry, really wanted to roll his eyes.

It doesn't matter if the younger brother has little experience on the battlefield, the one who is the elder brother is still the second-in-command in the army, and he has no common sense.

Don't look at your own army, how many archers are there in a thousand people?!

Even if you don't pay attention to accuracy, as long as you can shoot the bow, all of them are counted together, and there are less than 200 people.

If this Li Dian really has three or four thousand archers in the army, why do you need to fight us hand-to-hand, and direct archery can shoot us to death.

Archers in this era were to be cultivated, and not just anyone could open a bow as an archer, so even in the Cao army, the proportion of archers was not very high, let alone thousands of archers.

Of the more than 10,000 people led by Li Dian, there are 1,000 full-time archers who are already elite troops, and in this era, more often rely on physical combat to distinguish the victory and defeat on the battlefield.

But anyway, it's okay to wait for the battlefield to educate again, at least to appease the grumpy little guy first.

Zhang Fei still calmly and carefully observed the situation on the field, and found that although his side had casualties, the overall combat effectiveness was still good.

On Li Dian's side, he was already a little weak in attack.

Li Dian couldn't help it, the attack army of 2,000 people was not formed, but improvised patchwork, and what he commanded was not easy.

In addition, like a hedgehog on the opposite side, he failed to attack twice, but his side suffered heavy losses, and more than 200 of the 2,000 people had been killed and more than 300 wounded.

In this year's army, if the casualties exceed thirty percent, there will definitely be a rout, and now Li Dian is also a little unable to command those troops that are not directly under him.

The only thing Li Dian could do was to command his own troops and see if he could break through a hole in the other party.

As long as he breaks through a gap, he will command the rest of the people to rush forward as cannon fodder, and buy time for his subordinates, as long as he waits for Xiahoudun who is trapped in the mountain road, it doesn't matter if these remaining soldiers are dead.

Zhang Fei also saw this, and simply changed the formation, becoming more contracted, focusing on the most ruthless part of Li Dian's personal troops, so that Li Dian had no way to speak.

Li Dianqi's teeth itched, but he couldn't do anything about Zhang Fei.

And at this time, Zhang Fei was finally in the mood to laugh.

"Yuan Chang, you are here to watch Kou boy, don't you want to kill the enemy, come with the old man!"

After Zhang Fei finished speaking, he didn't care what Zhang Xi's reaction was, he personally turned over and got on the horse, taking the joyful Kou Feng with him. Turned around and killed in the direction of the mountain road.

As soon as Zhang Xi saw the direction of the enemy's killing, he knew that this thing was going to intercept and kill Xiahoudun.

I also have to admire this black guy, he dared to intercept and kill with only one hundred and fifty people, I don't know if it was Xiahoudun's army to survive, unlike these troops in front of him, people would really fight with you.

Zhang Xi had the intention to persuade him, but if he thought about it carefully, he couldn't persuade him.

It's all about killing the enemy, why should Kou Feng's 150 people enjoy preferential treatment, aren't the 800 people in front of him also fighting against 2,000 people for half an hour.

What Zhang Xi has to do now is to follow the plan left by Zhang Fei, maintain the defensive intensity and concentration of the formation, and never let Li Dian really break through the past to respond.

And Li Dian is really numb now, and he can't calm down.

If this can't save Xiahoudun, then what kind of face does he Li Dian have to see the lord.

Li Dian no longer cared about any casualties, and with a wave of his hand, he let the soldiers who had just retreated and the remaining soldiers all press on him, no matter what, he must find a way to open a hole.

And Zhang Xi's side suddenly had a lot of pressure.

The main reason is that Zhang Xi has no experience in battle, and he was frightened by Cao Jun's black pressure on the formation, and he didn't know what to do all of a sudden.

But fortunately, the soldiers he trained were not bad, and they were still stubbornly resisting, giving Zhang Xi time to calm down and think.

After carefully observing the formation of the Cao army, Zhang Xi found that the current Cao army only relied on the advantage of being outnumbered and overwhelming, and the efficiency of the attack was not as effective as before.

Although Li Dian suddenly pressed another four or five thousand people, plus the Cao army that was originally attacking, there were already six or seven thousand people surrounding the six or seven hundred people commanded by Zhang Xi.

It looks scary, with a ten-to-one ratio of offense and defense, as if it can't be held anyway.

But the terrain of Bowang is too much for Zhang Xi, the defender, to take advantage of.

These mountain roads in Bowang are very narrow, even if you add the gentle slopes in the mountains where you can fight with soldiers, the Cao soldiers who can be counted as having direct contact with Liu Beijun's defensive soldiers are one or two thousand people who are dead, and the remaining five or six thousand Cao soldiers are just shouting a few times in the back, and they are just strong.

The actual ratio of offense to defense is between 2 to 3 to 1.

And the two armies are fighting hand-to-hand, and the archers in the army don't dare to release arrows at will, and Zhang Xi doesn't even need to worry about where a cold arrow will come out on this battlefield. It's safe.

In addition, Zhang Xi's purpose was not to kill these Cao troops, but to delay time, desperately dragging out time, as long as the battle in the mountain road behind him was over, Li Dian would lose his combat significance.

Zhang Xi regained his composure at the moment, and according to the strategy left by Zhang Fei, as long as he withstood this period of time, then Zhang Xi would be considered successful.

The actual offensive efficiency is not as good as before, and Li Dian can of course see it clearly.

But he really couldn't help it, his mistake in today's matter was to stop Xiahoudun from pursuing at the beginning.

If Xiahoudun can run back, he Li Dian can still have a chance to atone for his crimes, if Xiahoudun can't escape, then even if he Li Dian loses more than 10,000 rear troops, it is useless.

After thinking about it, Li Dian finally sighed and ordered the troops to be temporarily withdrawn.

It is pointless to fight like this except to pay more casualties, it is better to retreat and reorganize and make a final attempt.

As soon as Zhang Xi saw that Cao's army had retreated, he also hurriedly began to inspect the schools, asking them to quickly transport the casualties to the rear, and then arrange a temporary reformation to ensure combat effectiveness.

Zhang Xi was also very uneasy, and he also noticed that the next attack was the key.

If it is held, Li Dian will no longer have the ability to attack, and Xiahoudun in the mountain road will be the turtle in the urn.

But if he can't hold it, Li Dian may really break into the mountain road and take Xiahoudun.

Although it is said that in this way, it is impossible for Cao Jun to attack Xinye again, but Zhang Xi does not want to be embarrassed.

When Zhang Fei was commanding, Li Dian didn't have a chance to take advantage of it at all, if it was changed to his own command, but Li Dian broke in, well, it was too embarrassing.

But now Zhang Xi's problem is also obvious.

After more than half an hour of fierce fighting, Zhang Xi's army now suffered a lot of casualties, with more than 150 soldiers killed and wounded and unable to fight, and less than 650 soldiers on hand who could actually fight.

In addition, Zhang Fei took away one hundred and fifty people from Kou Feng's department in order to intercept and kill Xiahoudun, and Zhang Xi now does not even have a reserve.

Next, Zhang Xi is not sure how long he can hold on.
