There is one thing to say, Biqiu Jian has the potential to become a famous general.

Biqiu Jian is very smart, very calm, and has a strong ability to adapt to emergencies, and is very good at judging the situation on the battlefield to make a more correct choice.

With these precious qualities, as long as Biqiu Jian goes through some more experience in battle formations, it is not a luxury to become a generation of famous generals.

But. The current Biqiu Jian is still too young, and he is going to the battlefield after Guo Huai discovered his talent.

In terms of battlefield experience, the sum of ten Biqiu Jian is not as good as one Wei Yan.

Wei Yan has been fighting all the way from the bottom soldiers to his current position in this half of his life, and has experienced hundreds of large and small battle formations, ranging from the suppression of bandits to maintaining local law and order, to the Battle of Sichuan and the two Northern Expeditions, Wei Yan has participated in them, and his meritorious contributions are not small.

How could such a person who has been on the battlefield for a long time still have an unstable foothold after entering the battlefield, even if you change Xu Chu to command, he will not make such a low-level mistake.

Therefore, if Biqiu Jian wanted to take advantage of Wei Yan's unstable foothold to launch an attack, it was purely to be blind.

Wei Yan came all the way, and when the scouts found that Wu Ban was less than five miles away from him, he had already stopped marching, and arranged defensive formations and simple defensive measures on the spot, he was not in a hurry to meet Wu Ban at all, but believed that Wu Ban had the ability, and led the soldiers to fight and retreat, and retreated to join him.

And Wu Ban did not disappoint Wei Yan, fighting and retreating all the way, although the casualties were not small, but after all, he completed the convergence with Wei Yan under the condition that the large army preserved its combat strength.

Therefore, Biqiu Jian's cavalry assault not only did not cause Wei Yan's receiving army to be in chaos, but instead ran headlong into the defensive formation that Wei Yan had arranged in advance.

There is one thing to say, Wei Yan led the infantry in the end, and he did suffer a loss in terms of troops, even if he responded in advance, but after an impact, the casualties were still not small.

However, Biqiu Jian did not immediately launch a continuous attack, but after discovering that Wei Yan was on guard, he immediately let his cavalry troops start a detour again, trying to find a gap in Wei Yan's defense or simply bypass Wei Yan's army and continue to pursue Wu Ban's Shu army.

Not to mention that Biqiu Jian has the potential to become a famous general, even at this time, Biqiu Jian still did not give up calm thinking.

Wei Yanjun's receiving soldiers and horses looked quite numerous, at least three or four thousand, which means that there are only one or two thousand guards in Meixian County now.

If Wu Ban is allowed to lead the army back to Meixian, then the defenders of Meixian will have nearly 10,000 people in an instant. In this way, even if these broken and responding Shu troops are completely wiped out outside Meixian County, it will be difficult to capture Meixian County.

But if he can bypass this receiving force and strive to intercept Wu Ban's foot soldiers, this will not only delay the speed of Wu Ban's march, but also lead the Shu army to break off, and the receiving army will come to converge, and he can still delay time and create an opportunity for Cao Dudu or Guo Tingshi to recapture Meixian.

After making a simple analysis, Biqiu Jian immediately made a decision, let the cavalry start to speed up, go around in a large circle again, avoid the interception position of Wei Yan's department, and go to pursue Wu Ban's department.

As for Wei Yan, after seeing Biqiu Jian let the cavalry start to detour again, he immediately understood Biqiu Jian's intentions.

Wei Yan didn't panic much, but instead showed a sneer.

Before, I thought that this Wei army commander had some ability, and he could endure not to go out of the city to lure the enemy troops, and he still had a little judgment ability. But now it seems that it is still too tender.

If you want to take a detour to chase it, then you can chase it.

Wei Yan didn't care about Biqiu Jian's actions at all, and after seeing Biqiu Jian leading the cavalry to start a big detour, he directly ordered to abandon the defensive position and march forward to meet Wang Ping's Broken Rear Army.

Wei Yan's 4,000 people, plus more than 4,000 people after Wang Ping's break, a total of more than 8,000 people, even if they are elite, can they still keep it in the face of a disadvantage of more than twice the troops?!

As long as you solve this Wei army foot soldier, you can rely on your 3,000 cavalry, how long can you hold me back?!

You know, it's only forty miles away from Meixian, and it's going to get dark again, if you kid has the ability, use the cavalry to chase it in the middle of the night.

Wei Yan's purpose was very simple, that is, to use some casualties of the troops led by Wu Ban in exchange for this Cao Wei infantry that pursued the main force at night in Biqiu Jian. As long as there is no such infantry, after nightfall, the Wei army will have no way to continue to bite its own troops, and by dawn, it is estimated that he and Wu Ban and others have already withdrawn to Meixian to rest.

In fact, in Wei Yan's eyes, the biggest obstacle to this response was not the 3,000 cavalry commanded by Biqiu Jian, on the contrary, the more than 3,000 infantry led by Zhu Zan was the biggest trouble.

Now. When the opportunity comes, Wei Yan will definitely not let it go.

Zhu Zan led the forbidden army in pursuit, which was not very smooth.

Yes, the combat effectiveness of the Great Wei Forbidden Army is very strong, but Zhu Zan has been leading the army since the present, and the soldiers of the Forbidden Army led by him have not experienced high-intensity combat for a few days, and they have not been able to sleep well at night, and they are already very tired.

The reason why it can still bite the broken rear army led by Wang Ping is that on the one hand, the attrition of the Wudang Flying Army led by Wang Ping is also quite serious, and the combat effectiveness cannot be compared with before, on the other hand, the ordinary Han army under Wu Ban, the combat effectiveness of 3,000 people is even a little inferior to the 1,500 Wudang Flying Army led by Wang Ping.

Although the Great Wei forbidden army is tired, the organization and training are there after all, although Zhu Zan can't completely break Wang Ping's broken army, but he can still have the upper hand and bite this army.

But all this, as Wei Yan's new force joined the battlefield, suddenly reversed.

The combat effectiveness of Wei Yan's receiving troops cannot be compared with the Great Wei Forbidden Army, but Wei Yan's department is a new force, and coupled with Wei Yan's command ability, it is much stronger than Zhu Zan.

After Wei Yan joined the battlefield, he immediately found Wang Ping and took over the command of the war, and at the same time ordered Wang Ping to lead the Wudang Fei Army to retreat and rest for the time being, and he commanded more than 6,000 ordinary Han soldiers and soldiers to complete the encirclement of Zhu Zan first.

Wei Yan had also heard of the Wudang Flying Army, and when he partnered with Zhang Xi at the beginning, Wei Yan heard Zhang Xi talk about the combat characteristics of this army.

As a force that focuses on long-distance attacks, it is a waste for you to use him to break the back.

Therefore, after Wei Yan used his soldiers to gradually block the attack of Zhu Zan's army, he immediately asked Wang Ping to lead the Wudang Fei army, which had a short rest, to attack, and made a detour to directly penetrate behind Zhu Zan's army and block the retreat route of Zhu Zan's army.

Wei Yan wanted to use the interspersed ability of the Wudang Flying Army to completely suffocate the elite of the 3,000-strong Wei army.

One thing to say, Wang Ping at this time, as the commander of the Wudang Flying Army, was actually not qualified, he did not understand the essence of the Wudang Flying Army, but only used the Wudang Flying Army as an ordinary elite.

In terms of command ability, compared with Wei Yan, Wang Ping is still somewhat behind.

Wang Ping in history, although he succeeded the Taishou of Hanzhong after Wei Yan's death and continued Wei Yan's Hanzhong defensive strategy, but Wei Yan fought with Guo Huai several times in history, basically outside Hanzhong, and Wang Ping against Cao Shuang's Shu army, but he could only use the strategy of luring the enemy to go deep, on the one hand, the reason for the different times, on the other hand, it is also a circumstantial evidence that Wang Ping is not as good as Wei Yan.

But this can't be blamed on Wang Ping. Wang Ping is from a wealthy background, his original identity and status are there, and it is not easy for someone to reuse him, until now he is illiterate, and he has never touched the book of war.

And although Wei Yan is not a great Confucian, he has been reading and writing at Liu Bei's request since he was in Xinye, although Wei Yan has not read the book of war, but he has followed Liu Bei, partnered with Zhang Xi many times, and heard a lot.

There is a reason why there is a gap between the two, it cannot be said that Wang Ping is really inferior to Wei Yan, Wang Ping also has the advantages of Wang Ping.

Wang Ping is a person, not to mention anything else, his comprehension ability is really strong Wei Yan's military order, while Wang Ping is executing, he seems to be vaguely aware that he seems to have made some mistakes in commanding the Wudang Flying Army, but in this current battlefield, it is not suitable for in-depth thinking.

But no matter what, Wang Ping still strictly implemented Wei Yan's military orders, led the Wudang Flying Army, launched the advantage that the Wudang Flying Army was good at running, and detoured behind Zhu Zan.

As for Zhu Zan, although Zhu Zan's ability is indeed mediocre and his adaptability is insufficient, it does not mean that Zhu Zan does not know what kind of situation he will face once he is intercepted by Wang Ping.

The combat effectiveness of this Wudang Flying Army, Zhu Zan has been taught.

In the past, when the Wudang Flying Army and ordinary soldiers were mixed, Zhu Zan could sometimes contain the Wudang Flying Army by suppressing the ordinary soldiers, but now that the Wudang Flying Army is independent and will not retreat, then it really has to be explained here.

Now, Biqiu Jian led the cavalry to a roundabout assault, Zhu Zan is the biggest commander on the battlefield, and the battlefield is a place that changes rapidly, and Zhu Zan can't always stick to Biqiu Jian's orders when he leaves.

Therefore, Zhu Zan saw that Wang Ping was about to be outflanked and put in place, so he immediately ordered the whole army to withdraw while fighting, and strive to disengage as soon as possible.

On the one hand, Zhu Zan thought that he could retreat briefly and lure the Shu army to pursue, which could lengthen the distance between the Shu army and the retreating Shu army, causing a disconnect between the retreating Shu army and the Shu army after the break, and at the same time, he could be regarded as continuing to contain the Shu army after the break and reduce the pressure on the raid on Biqiujian.

On the other hand, if Biqiu Jian finds that the situation is not right, and wants to come back to rescue him, he may be able to cover up from the rear of this broken army and attack him from both sides.

Zhu Zan's idea is not wrong, with his ability, it is not easy to think of such a decision, but Wei Yan will not do this at all.

What exactly he is here for, Wei Yan knows very well.

For the infantry in front of him, if he can encircle and annihilate it, it is naturally the best, so that after nightfall, there is no need to worry about the Wei army biting the tail of the retreating army and slowing down the withdrawal speed.

But if you can repel this Wei army and make it impossible for this Wei army to bite its own rear wing, then it doesn't necessarily have to fight to the death with this Wei army.

After all, Biqiujian's cavalry is still outside, and it's really hard to say when it will be withdrawn.

Therefore, when he saw Zhu Zan leading the infantry to retreat while fighting, Wei Yan also consciously let the ordinary soldiers disengage from the Wei army step by step.

After doing this, Wei Yan gave a new military order to Wang Ping, who was outflanked in a roundabout way-to pursue this Wei army for ten miles, and then immediately withdraw the army, without converging with the army, and retreating directly in the direction of Meixian.
