Zhang Xi's current reputation has indeed been established between Wei and Wu.

After all, since joining the army, there have been countless large and small battle formations, whether it is leading the army alone, cooperating with others as a vanguard, or defending a city, Zhang Xi has never been defeated.

On the contrary, he came all the way, and there were many generals who fell under him.

Over the years, with the death of some old generals, Zhang Xi's reputation has become louder and louder.

Especially in the Great Wei Dynasty, the generals of the Mesozoic Era generally did not have a good record, either they were beaten by the west today, or they were beaten by the east tomorrow, and those who could handle it were Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, and Guo Huai.

And the winning rate of these three people is really unconvincing.

Cao Xiu's battle in Shiting was led by Zhou Yu almost the whole time, and the reputation accumulated in the first half of his life was about to be lost there.

And Guo Huai was also kicked by Zhang Xi in Tianshui County, if he hadn't proved himself in Shangtai later, Guo Huai's reputation might not even be as good as Cao Xiu.

Only Cao Zhen has never had such a big defeat, and he can barely see it.

These three leaders of the Mesozoic Era have a record like this, who will compare them with the generals of the Cao Xiahou clan?!

The generals of the Cao Xiahou clan in that era were the main contributors to the great country with Emperor Taizuwu.

Because of this, in the hearts of Cao Wei's new generation of generals, Zhang Xi, who almost beat Cao Xiahou's generals, became more and more famous. After all, General Cao Xiahou, when he fought with Zhang Xi, except for Xiahou Yuan, no one took advantage of Zhang Xi.

The most unlucky one is Cao Ren. Although no one dares to mention the name of the slippery side Taishou in Dawei, it doesn't mean that everyone doesn't know.

Wang Chang has also heard of Zhang Xi's name, but now, when he actually faces Zhang Xi, Wang Chang has a feeling of "not worthy of the name", and he is a famous general in the world, commanding the army to attack, and he is actually at this level? !

But Wang Chang is a bold and careful person after all.

When there has been chaos for decades today, it has reached the era of the three-legged stand, and the people who can leave a great reputation in this era are basically impossible to blow out or have no real skills, and die on the battlefield early.

Zhang Xi's achievements are all real, even Cao Ren and Zhang He, who are very aggressive about Zhang Xi's character, do not have any doubts about Zhang Xi's ability. This should not be the level of command that a world-famous general should have.

Wang Chang didn't dare to be careless, was careful and dealt with it seriously.

With the development of the war situation, Wang Chang finally found some small clues.

Zhang Xi's approach to making breakthroughs in key areas is actually not ineffective at all.

The biggest defensive advantage of the circle array is that the various parts of the circle are closely connected with each other and can cooperate with each other to create a local battlefield with more fights and fewer fights.

The general method of breaking the formation is to attack from multiple points, create enough pressure on the soldiers of the round formation, force the soldiers of the circle to disperse and resist, or the main general's response is wrong, and after creating a gap in the battlefield, insert and break the enemy.

However, this has extremely high requirements for the strength and combat strength of the soldiers, and the current strength and combat strength of the Shu army cannot meet such requirements, and there is no problem with Wang Chang's command, so it is almost impossible for the Shu army to break the formation with ordinary tactics.

And this kind of key breakthrough adopted by Zhang Xi is to create more people to attack in one place, although the focus of defense is clear, but Wang Chang has no way to transfer through command, artificially creating a situation of fighting more and fighting less.

Zhang Xi invested a large number of troops in the direction of the key attack, with the large-scale offensive of the Shu army, the contact surface of the two armies was almost flat, unless Wang Chang abandoned the defense of the flank, and transferred the flank soldiers to the front, it was impossible to artificially create a situation of fighting more and fighting less.

And Wang Chang really can't do this, his flank, there is always a Shu army of 3,000 people wandering, as long as Wang Chang mobilizes the soldiers and horses on the flank, then this guerrilla army will definitely attack on Wang Chang's flank.

Wang Chang now somewhat understands Zhang Xi's intention to command, but Wang Chang doesn't care.

In a head-to-head duel, what is fought is the personal quality and combat power of the soldiers, and in this regard, Wang Chang still believes in the combat effectiveness of the Great Wei Forbidden Army.

And Wang Chang is not afraid that Zhang Xi will rely on more people to consume. The battle on the frontal battlefield is very time-consuming, but it is obvious that General Zhang He will not give Zhang Xi such time.

It's an impromptu war, and it can't even last longer than a day. At most, there will be an hour before General Zhang He will appear behind Zhang Xi, launch a surprise attack on Zhang Xi, and then break through by himself.

Wang Chang can still accept this kind of battle damage.

The battle situation was deadlocked, and after almost half an hour, Wang Chang always paid attention to Zhang Xi's back, looking forward to the arrival of Zhang He's army.

But. It never came.

Wang Chang was a little puzzled.

He is now less than twenty miles away from Wugong County, and with General Zhang He's style, there is no reason for him not to know that he has been blocked here?!

And if General Zhang He sends troops to respond, from Wugong County to here, even if he marches cautiously all the way, the time for more than an hour should come. I've been surrounded here for almost two hours.

Not to mention that Wang Chang is wondering, even Zhang Xi is also wondering. What is Zhang He doing?!

He hasn't shown up for such a long time, doesn't he really plan to come to pick up this force?!

This is unreasonable, is Zhang He really not afraid of the losses of these troops, and plans to sneak attack Wuzhangyuan with only 3,000 people?!

Zhang He shouldn't be so brain-dead, right?!

But anyway, if you don't come, then I'm welcome.

Zhang Xi immediately ordered the whole army to press forward and increase the intensity of the attack on Wang Chang's army, and at the same time sent Gao Xiang to personally lead the troops to charge the battle, striving to tear a hole in the defensive line of the circle array.

Zhang Xi increased the intensity of the attack, Gao Xiang also personally went off the field to rush into battle, Wang Chang couldn't stand it a little.

It's not that you can't carry it, but you can still carry it, it's just that it's harder.

Wang Chang's deployment of troops before was quite sparing, after all, Zhang Xi only focused on attacking one place, and Wang Chang only needed to focus on dealing with one place, and with the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army, but in the face of a similar number of Shu troops, he still had the upper hand.

But Zhang Xi increased his offensive efforts and sent more attacking soldiers, and at the same time, Gao Xiang personally went down to charge the formation, and the result was different.

The enemy's strength is more, and Wang Chang is afraid of being caught by the enemy, and he does not dare to easily change the formation and use wheel warfare to face the enemy, so the Wei soldiers who defend frontally have always been such a group. The donkey of the production team can't help but use it like this.

What's more, when Gao Xiang came to the scene, he also brought two hundred personal guards belonging to his headquarters, and the combat effectiveness of these personal guards was not necessarily weaker than that of the Great Wei Forbidden Army. If Gao Xiang really tore a hole in the formation and burst in, Wang Chang would have a headache.

It's not that it can't be dealt with, after all, the characteristic of the circle formation is that they can respond to each other, but the battle damage will inevitably expand.

Now that he has been fighting for more than two hours, Wang Chang has relied on the connection ability of the circle formation, and so far he has only suffered more than 600 casualties.

This is not something that Wang Chang can accept.

But Wang Chang didn't dare to mobilize the soldiers on both wings to reinforce the front, and the three thousand Shu troops who had been cruising around him were really uncomfortable. Until now, Liu Yin has been leading the troops and has never launched any attack.

Liu Yin is not good at stubble, what he is doing now is equivalent to holding a dagger and dangling back and forth on Wang Chang's side, he may not really stab you, but you can't help but guard against him.

It was enough to disgust Wang Chang, but there was really no way to relax the defense on the flank. We can only find a way to organize the second-generation defense line in advance in the circle formation, and at the right time, risk casualties to push the second line of defense to the front, so that the soldiers of the first line of defense can slowly retreat and retreat to rest.

To be honest, this is also because Wang Chang is leading the forbidden army, and he has the strength and ability of this organization.

If this is replaced by an ordinary county soldier, it is good to withdraw and rest under the onslaught of the enemy and not mess up the formation, but if you are not careful, you may have to be defeated.

But fortunately, Wang Chang's command ability is really not weak, and the organization and personal quality of the Great Wei Forbidden Army are really high, which made Wang Chang reluctantly complete the transformation of the formation while defending.

For the time being, it withstood the increased offensive of the Han army.

And all this was also seen by Zhang Xi.

Zhang Xi frowned slightly. This Wang Chang, there is something to do, he can actually adjust the formation change and reorganize the defense line in the process of defense?!

Although Wang Chang did this after a long period of preparation and at the cost of some casualties among the soldiers, but. That's a great thing.

This somewhat reminded Zhang Xi that if this kid really has the ability to adjust the offensive formation in a short period of time, and at the same time will not cause flaws in his military formation, then his tactics will be completely ruined.

It's hard to say, I will really be seized by this kid, and under Zhang He's response, he will really break through.

At that time, the 3,000 people who Liu Yin was cruising outside would be completely useless.

If that's the case, then . Is it to transfer Liu Yin's 3,000 men back, strengthen the frontal defensive force, and wait until Wang Chang leads the troops to break through the siege, and kill and injure the enemy's living force as much as possible?!

Since it can't be stopped, it is better to take the opportunity to kill more enemies and reduce the number of soldiers under Zhang He. It's better than a complete tactical failure?!

Zhang Xi pondered carefully for a while, and finally made his own decision - to maintain the original tactics unchanged

Zhang Xi still doesn't believe that Wang Chang can have such an ability and can change the formation of the whole army in a short period of time, even if you have this ability, I can't give you this opportunity.

Zhang Xi again ordered to continue to intensify the offensive against the Wei army.

At this time, Wang Chang finally felt uncomfortable
