Chapter 547: The Battle of Meixian

Wei Yan is still a little jealous of Wang Shuang.

Because of the information provided by Zhuge Qian, coupled with his own excessive brain supplementation, Wei Yan seriously overestimated Wang Shuang's ability, thinking that this was a cool-headed, ruthless and decisive opponent.

To deal with such an opponent, the offensive means should not be too rough, and if you seize the time to attack the city as soon as you come up, it is easy to fall into the opponent's defensive rhythm.

Based on the above considerations, Wei Yan did not raise his banner as soon as he joined Zhuge Qian, but let Zhuge Qian continue to lead the troops and attack Meixian with 6,000 people, trying to confuse Wang Shuang's judgment.

Wang Shuang also has a headache now, the noble man just left in the morning, and the Shu army came to the city in the afternoon, you have discussed it, right?!

The Shu army came one step earlier, and Xiahou Nan couldn't go, and as long as Xiahou Nan stayed in Meixian County, even if he was a signature mascot, he could gather a lot of people's hearts. But it was such a coincidence that the Shu army came, as soon as Xiahou Nan left, the Shu army arrived.

Wang Shuang is not the kind of general who is good at using stratagems, and he can't think of too good a way to solve the problem of the army's heart after Xiahou Nan leaves.

And now Wang Shuang doesn't have much energy to think about this problem, because the Shu army has already arrived in the city, and he has to put his mind on defending the city.

Wang Shuang is not the kind of person who can think in multiple threads, he can only focus on one thing. Xiahou Nan's matter is irreparable, so let's think about how to defend Meixian.

When the enemy arrived, Wang Shuang, based on his own experience, not only sent some scouts to collect intelligence, but also climbed the city tower and overlooked the Shu army camp from afar.

The Shu military camp is only less than three miles away from Meixian County, which is already very close.

Obviously, the commander-in-chief of the enemy army is not worried that Wang Shuang can see the reality of the camp clearly when he stands on the city tower, which is what the sword and gun are on the table for the Meixian defenders.

Judging from the size of the camp, the enemy army has at least 5,000 people, and judging from the state of the soldiers walking back and forth in the camp, this is a team that is not too badly trained and equipped to cover the armor rate of more than 50%.

That's a bit tricky.

Wang Shuang is also a person who fought on the battlefield, and he knows the state of the sergeant and pawn of the army very well, which belongs to many years of experience in the army.

After observing for a while, Wang Shuang could probably predict that the enemy's combat effectiveness was no worse than that of his Meixian defenders.

Of course, this is just the first impression, and we will not know what it actually is until after the fight.

Look back at the enemy commander. Well, this flag seems to be very familiar.

It seems to be the general of the Shu army who led the troops to surround Xiahou Duwei the day before yesterday, right?!

After all, this surname is really rare.

If that's the one. Wang Shuang felt as if he was doing it again.

I really don't blame Wang Shuang for having this consciousness, it was really a battle the day before yesterday, Wang Shuang almost took the initiative from beginning to end, he wanted to beat Zhuge Qian and caught the death beating, and finally succeeded in Zhuge Qian's encirclement, and took Xiahou Nan.

Wang Shuang felt that if it was this Shu general, it seemed that he was not without the possibility of a battle.

Yes, the other party has a lot of people this time, but on the battlefield, it is not the one who has more troops to win.

Anyway, Wang Shuang felt that if there were only so many people in the Shu army, the opponent would still be this Zhuge general. Whether it is a field battle or a defense of the city, there is no problem.

Therefore, when Zhuge Qian came to Meixian with 3,000 soldiers to call for war the next morning, Wang Shuang was wondering whether he wanted to lead the troops out of the city, and then teach this unashamed boy a good lesson.

Wang Shuang also has Wang Shuang's considerations, although his brain is not very good, but Wang Shuang really has his own considerations.

First of all, this Shu general is a defeated general under his own command, what is his style of using troops, and what is the combat effectiveness of his subordinates, Wang Shuang has been taught, and he knows it in his heart.

Secondly, the other party did not bring many troops to call the battle, only 3,000 people, although Wang Shuang's strength to defend the city was also insufficient, but it was not impossible to divide a thousand people out of the city to fight.

At last. The news that Xiahou ran away yesterday finally spread among the army.

Although it is said that Xiahou Nan is not the guard of Meixian County, he actually has no duty to stay in Meixian County and command everyone to defend, but there are some things that it really can't stand thinking about.

Especially Xiahou Nan was still defeated from the front line, and he was in a hurry to leave without even waiting for a day, no matter what.

Although Wang Shuang also ordered the blockade of news in time, how big can a Meixian County be, and the defenders have a total of 2,000 people, not that he Wang Shuang said that the blockade could be blocked.

Now that the morale in the city has been affected, and if Wang Shuang wants to eliminate the impact of this damaged morale, he can only find a way to repel the Shu army in front of him again.

may not be able to completely break the siege, but the morale of the army must be raised again, so that the soldiers can see that as long as he Wang Shuang is there, this Meixian County will not be lost.

This is the only way Wang Shuang can think of.

Therefore, Zhuge Qian invited a battle outside the city, and Wang Shuang was really tempted and prepared to go out of the city to fight Zhuge Qian.

And Zhuge is pious. To be honest, Zhuge Qian's invitation to battle this time was just a temptation.

After all, according to the brains of Wei Yan and Zhuge Qian, this Wang Shuang is a calm and decisive person.

How many defenders there are in Meixian County, Wei Yan and Zhuge Qian are a little uncertain now.

According to the intelligence, there are only 2,000 defenders in Meixian County, but the problem is that even the name of the guard has been mistaken in their own intelligence, can other intelligence guarantee that there will be no problems?!

Therefore, Wei Yan asked Zhuge Qian to invite the battle, which was just a temptation.

First, let's test the number of defenders in the city.

If there are not many defenders in the city, with the character of Wang Shuang, who is made up by Wei Yan and Zhuge piously, he should not be able to fight.

Second, it can also hit the morale of the Wei army.

The Shu army showed off its might under the city, but the main general of the Wei army could only stick to the city and not go out, no matter how you look at it, it is a very demoralizing thing.

So, Zhuge Qian really didn't want to fight Wang Shuang, but he was just a test and a formality.

But Zhuge Qian didn't expect that this Wang Shuang would really go out of the city with the whole army.

And if you go out of the city, you can go out of the city, so let's talk about some rules, and the lords of both sides will say a few words first, at least give me a chance to persuade me to surrender. Wang Shuang is biased no.

After Wang Shuang finished the whole army in the city, after opening the city gate, he directly used his 500 soldiers as the vanguard and launched a surprise charge against the Shu army.

Zhuge Qian was indeed a little caught off guard by Wang Shuang.

But fortunately, Zhuge Qian is not incompetent, and Zhuge Qian himself is still nearly two hundred steps away from the city gate, this distance gives Zhuge Qian time to react.

After all, both sides are foot soldiers, even if Wang Shuang is caught off guard and launches a charge, he will not immediately rush to the front of him, Zhuge Qian hurriedly makes adjustments, let the front army respond, temporarily retreat to the rear army, and let the Chinese army support on top.

Zhuge Qian was still very jealous of Wang Shuang's force value, for fear that Wang Shuang would directly threaten him after breaking through the direction of his front army with one blow.

And Wang Shuang's sudden attack, not only Zhuge Qian couldn't react, but even Wei Yan was thinking about it at this moment, what is the intention of this Wang Shuang?!

Is there enough defenders in the city, and Wang Shuang has the confidence to go out of the city to fight?!

Or did Wang Shuang know that the defenders were insufficient, so he went out of the city to assault and dampen the spirit of the Han army, so as to facilitate the follow-up defense of the city? !

Wei Yan felt that there were both possibilities. After all, this Wang Shuang's own ability is not low, maybe he really has the certainty of defeating Zhuge Qian head-on.

In this case, Wei Yan couldn't watch the play, and sat back and watched Zhuge Qian be broken through by Wang Shuang.

And no matter from what point of view, the enemy's main general has already gone out of the city to fight, so the first purpose now must be to keep this main general.

Once the main general of the enemy army can be captured in the field, the next siege battle may not need to be fought.

Wei Yan immediately ordered, unfurled his banner, and led the remaining 3,000 soldiers out of the camp, on the one hand, to meet Zhuge Qian, and on the other hand, to intercept and kill Wang Shuang, the main general of Meixian County.

Wei Yan's move suddenly made Wang Shuang and Zhuge Qian, who had been strangled together on the battlefield, change their faces.

Zhuge Qian breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately ordered the rear army he was in to also join the battle, and he must ask the whole army of 3,000 people to entangle Wang Shuangsuo's department.

But Wang Shuang's face changed drastically, and he subconsciously thought that he had been tricked.

There is a saying that Zhuge Qian was indeed because of his lack of preparation, which led to the fact that the front army's military formation was not completely opened, coupled with Wang Shuang's sudden attack, which caused the front army to fall into full disadvantage in the initial engagement.

That is, Zhuge Qian's response was timely, and the Chinese army supported in time to be in place, which did not allow Wang Shuang to kill through his own military formation.

But in the eyes of Wang Shuang now, all this is Zhuge Qian's tricks.

This goods, first led the army to the city to invite the battle, and the former army deliberately put on an unprepared appearance, the purpose was to lure themselves to battle, and then send people to cut off their back road back to the city.

No wonder Zhuge Qian's front army broke through as soon as it attacked, and the co-authorship was simply to lure his own blood.

Now that the two armies are strangled together, it is not so easy to retreat.

1,000 people against 3,000 people, Wang Shuang still has the certainty of resisting Zhuge Qian, but 1,000 people against 6,000 people. Wang Shuang felt that if he didn't leave again and let people surround him, then he would really explain it completely.

Retreat is definitely going to retreat, but here's the problem . How to withdraw?!

Wang Shuang didn't have to think about it to know that Zhuge Qian would definitely launch a counterattack to entangle his troops, and the enemy troops in the rear would also be outflanked as soon as possible.

In front of Wang Shuang, there are two paths, one is to lead the army to kill Zhuge Qian, block Zhuge Qian's counterattack, and create an opportunity for the whole army to get rid of entanglement. The other is to kill the interception troops in the rear and block the interception troops from intercepting. As long as your own troops retreat to the vicinity of the city gate, with the cover of the crossbowmen on the city wall, they can not only retreat safely, but also rely on the crossbowmen on the city wall to cause damage to the Shu army.

Wang Shuang hesitated slightly and chose the second path.

Protect your own way first, and then you have any hope of retreating into the city!

Then Wei Yan was very surprised to find that Wang Shuang led his troops to kill him.
