In front of Feng Xi, there are two paths.

One is that regardless of whether the soldiers are defeated or not, they will continue to attack Zhang He with their lives, even if they fight for one and a half to death or even die of serious injuries, they must kill Zhang He on the spot.

As long as Zhang He dies, the Wei army will be leaderless, and the sneak attack on Wuzhangyuan will basically be over.

To be honest, if he was really sure enough to do this, Feng Xi really didn't care if he risked his life or not.

He was originally punished for being defeated by Zhang He twice, if he could behead Zhang He this time, although he might lose his life, but his fame and fortune were all together, and the family could benefit immensely Feng Xi was really not afraid of death.

But the problem is - Feng Xi really doesn't think that if he fights for his life, he can kill Zhang He before his own soldiers are completely defeated.

On the one hand, although Zhang He was at a disadvantage in terms of strength, Feng Xi could not fully suppress Zhang He. The old guy is a thief, and a cold counterattack may make Feng Xi pay the price at any time, and he may even be killed back.

On the other hand, if the old boy Zhang He is a little shameless, he can't beat him, so he retreats and lets the Wei soldiers come up to besiege him, and he has nothing to do with him.

After all, this is not a heads-up, it is a chaotic battle on the battlefield, and there is no need for Zhang He to have to be one-on-one with Feng Xi.

The option of fighting for his life and risking his life to kill Zhang He can only be said to be very tempting, but in practice, the probability of success is not great at all.

Therefore, Feng Xi could only choose the second path.

Temporarily retreated, stabilized the defensive line of his own soldiers, fought and retreated, converged the remaining infantry in the bazaar, and continued to delay the offensive speed of the Wei army.

The advantage of this is to keep your own defense line from collapsing, so that you can delay time and wait for Liu Yin's support.

Liu Yin can be outside Dachangji, from Liu Yin received the news to the whole army to support, it will not take more than a quarter of an hour, as long as this period of time is delayed, then Feng Xi's task is completed, Zhang He doesn't want to send troops to attack Wuzhangyuan without defeating Dachangji.

After being punished for the defeat of the first two ventures, Feng Xi chose the second combat plan this time for insurance reasons.

Relying on his own advantage, Feng Xi did not continue to entangle with Zhang He, but found the right time to retreat and temporarily withdrew from the fight with Zhang He.

After withdrawing from the battle, Feng Xi quickly went to support the place where his soldiers were in a hurry, repelled the siege of the Wei army, and commanded the soldiers to re-establish the defensive line. came and went, and it can be regarded as temporarily stabilizing the defensive line.

The next Feng Xi was not greedy for merit, but chose to take the soldiers to fight and retreat, and retreated to Dachangji.

When I showed it to Zhang He, I was anxious for a while, and at the same time a little ashamed.

After all, he was old, and he couldn't keep this junior on the spot, and let this junior temporarily suppress it by virtue of his strength advantage.

Although Zhang He is confident that after a period of adjustment, he will be able to kill this junior. But people don't give you that chance.

This time to retreat in time and stabilize the defensive line, how much did Zhang He also surprise this junior in front of him was really the junior who lost to him twice in a row a few days ago?!

Isn't that junior the kind of reckless man who rushes forward without brains, why is today's operational commander so sober-minded?!

But as soon as you're sober, it's hard for me!!

If this Shu army can be defeated in one fell swoop and enter Dachangji, the morale of the Shu army in Dachangji will definitely collapse completely. At that time, even if the reinforcements of the Shu army were outside Dachangji, they would not be able to prevent this rout.

But it's a pity that that reckless junior's mind is extremely clear today, and he didn't give himself this chance.

No matter what, after all, the reckless junior is fighting and retreating, and Zhang He's side is not without a chance to continue to win. As long as the fight continues like this, and the Dachangji is attacked in one fell swoop, with the combat effectiveness of the Wei army, which is more than one step higher, this battle can still be won in the end.

The only thing that worries Zhang He is. This Shu army, in the end, is there any reinforcements, and if so, when will their reinforcements arrive.

This is Zhang He's scout, the only information that has not been detected, and it is also the real reason why Zhang He must launch a surprise attack and strive for a quick victory.

If the Shu army in Dachangji was only an army sent by Zhang Xi to garrison it just in case, then as long as Zhang He defeated this Shu army, the strategic goal of this time could basically be achieved.

From Dachangji to Wugong County, it will take at least two days to come back and forth, and if Zhang Xi leads the troops from Wugong County to come to the rescue, Zhang He should have already broken the Shu army in Dachangji, and at the same time has already led the troops to set off to attack Wuzhangyuan.

But if this Shu army is not only these 500 people, but has other backups, then things will not be easy.

Today's Zhang He, who knows too little information about this, is somewhat uneasy.

But no matter how Zhang Xi responds, this battle of Dachangji must be fought, if Dachangji is not defeated, it is impossible to enter Wuzhangyuan with peace of mind, and you have to worry about someone stabbing your ass at any time.

Now, there is no practical point in thinking too much, Zhang He can only speed up the pace of the attack, try to catch Dachangji before the arrival of the Shu army reinforcements, and then after a quick rest, he will directly attack Wuzhangyuan.

I just don't know if the Shu army will give me this chance. This is Zhang He's biggest worry now.

And with the development of time, Zhang He's worry gradually became more and more uneasy.

Because Zhang He saw a team of more than 100 people, from the direction outside Dachangji, quickly entered Dachangji.

This is Liu Yin who brought troops over to support.

But the number of troops brought by Liu Yin was very successful in making Zhang He mutter.

Zhang He pondered whether this army of only more than 100 people could be regarded as reinforcements from the Shu army, and they were indeed from the periphery of Dachangji, but you have to say it, how much help these more than 100 people can help the internal situation on the battlefield? !

Therefore, Zhang He is not sure whether the more than 100 soldiers brought by Liu Yin personally are considered reinforcements, and he is even more uncertain, whether the reinforcements of the Shu army are just outside Dachangji, or whether these 100 people are just the reserves left by Feng Xi in the past.

Zhang He couldn't figure out this problem, but Feng Xi was very clear and Feng Xi didn't understand it either, why didn't Liu Yin lead all the five hundred soldiers into Dachangji and bring more than 100 people over to support, what's the point?!

Now the Shu soldiers who are sticking to it in Dachangji, whether it is military morale or morale, have reached a critical point, and they may collapse at any time.

On the contrary, Liu Yin's troops, who had recuperated overnight, were far stronger than the five hundred people under Feng Xi's department, both in terms of military morale and combat effectiveness.

Playing a refueling tactic?!

That's a taboo for soldiers!!

But Liu Yin also has Liu Yin's difficulties.

Liu Yin didn't know that refueling tactics were taboo in today's situation, and too few troops could not change the entire battle situation, but after careful consideration, Liu Yin found that he had no choice at all.

After receiving Feng Xi's request for help, Liu Yin immediately summoned the foot soldiers and led the troops to help, and in less than a quarter of an hour, Liu Yin had already led the troops to Dachangji.

But the real problem is that Liu Yin found that the place of Dachangji is too small.

It was originally a big place, but as a result, Zhang He brought 500 people, plus the 500 soldiers stationed in Feng Xi's department, and there were nearly 1,000 soldiers fighting in the small Dachang Collection.

Liu Yin wanted to put his troops into battle, but where could he still stuff people.

In addition, when Liu Yin arrived at Dachangji, Feng Xi had already chosen to retreat to the entrance of Dachangji, and at this time, a large part of the Wei army and the Han army had been strangled together, and the remaining part of the Han army also needed to undertake the task of responding and supporting.

Of course, Liu Yin knew that the combat effectiveness and morale of the Han army in Dachangji were already very low, but at this time, if Liu Yin ordered the Han army in Dachangji to temporarily retreat, then before he could lead his troops to fill the gap, the Wei army would have already followed the pace of the Han army's retreat and entered Dachangji.

Even retreating in batches, Liu Yin couldn't do it.

The soldiers in front are desperate, and the friendly troops in the rear are retreating, if anyone shouts unknowingly, who will block the attack of the Wei army in front?!

Therefore, Liu Yin really had no choice but to take about a hundred soldiers and join the battlefield first.

In doing so, at least you can help Feng Xi stabilize the defense line first, so as not to lose the whole line of Dachangji.

After helping Feng Xi stabilize the defensive line, Liu Yin asked Feng Xi to continue to preside over the outer defense of Dachangji to resist Zhang He's attack, and on the other hand, he started his own operation.

First of all, Liu Yin ordered that a part of the original remaining troops in Dachang who were responsible for containing and responding to the situation should be withdrawn from the battlefield first and replaced with the new force brought by Liu Yin.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Yin used this part of the new force to begin to form a second line of defense, so that the Han army's defense was unfavorable and had to retreat into Dachangji to continue to defend.

This is really not groundless, as far as the combat effectiveness and morale of this part of the Han army that stayed in Dachangji before, it can be regarded as Feng Xi's command that can last until now.

As for why Liu Yin didn't immediately send his own fresh army to take over the defense line that the remaining troops were responsible for, and let the remaining troops retreat to rest, it was not that Liu Yin didn't want to, but that he couldn't do it.

The soldiers of this era basically have no organization at all, especially for the army composed of county soldiers led by Liu Yin and others, they really can't do this kind of thing in wartime.

Once Liu Yin sends someone to change the guard, then Liu Yin can be sure that there will inevitably be soldiers who will retreat or even flee in a hurry without waiting for the change of guard troops to arrive in order to survive, and the Wei army will definitely seize the opportunity to chase in. At that point, not only will the defense line collapse, but even the soldiers who will change the defense will have to die with it.

Therefore, Liu Yin could only ruthlessly let this part of the soldiers who had been strangled with the Wei army continue to resist on the front line, and wait for himself to establish the second line of defense behind him, and then let these people retreat, so that it would be safer.
