As soon as Zhang He heard that Zhang Xi only brought 1,000 people, he rushed in to outflank him, and this thought suddenly became lively.

If, that is, if. If you can defeat this thousand-strong army led by Zhang Xi in one fell swoop, and even, if you are lucky, you can kill Zhang Xi on the spot. Isn't there a possibility of a resurgence of the Wuzhangyuan sneak attack plan?!

This temptation is really a bit big, so that Zhang He can't help but think about it, and at the same time, he also repeatedly persuaded himself that he must be calm and think calmly about the pros and cons of doing so.

Zhang He forced himself to calm down, and after thinking about it seriously, he felt that this tactic. Sure enough, it still doesn't work.

There is no other reason, and the current conditions are not good for me.

First, Zhang He's troops were not enough, and they were not enough to fight a head-on battle with Zhang Xi.

Today's Zhang He only has more than 300 soldiers in his hands, and the army brought by Zhang Xi has 1,000 people, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness of the Cao Wei Central Forbidden Army is, it can't be one against three.

Going to the mountain road to transfer troops?!

This Zhang He also thought about it, but it would take at least half an hour or so to go back and forth to transfer troops on the mountain road, and Zhang Xi's thousand-strong troops could arrive in Dachangji in a quarter of an hour at the fastest and two quarters of an hour at the slowest.

Zhang He wanted to fight a surprise attack and rout, not a tug-of-war back and forth, so he didn't have that time to transfer troops at all.

Second, the terrain near Dachangji was also quite unfavorable for Zhang He to carry out troop operations.

The Dachangji place is too small, but it is blocked in the middle of the mountains, and it can't be bypassed.

If he wants to fight against Zhang Xi's thousand-man team, Zhang He must first lead his troops through Dachangji and reach the path on the south side of Dachangji before he can directly confront Zhang Xi, otherwise he will just return to the situation of tug-of-war back and forth in Dachangji.

And Zhang He at this time, he did have the conditions to pass Dachangji.

The place where Zhang He is currently located is the northwest of Dachangji, and the direction where Zhang Xi led his troops is the south of Dachangji.

Now, Zhang He has basically controlled the periphery of Dachangji, only a part of the center of Fang City has not been captured, and it may take time to transfer troops from the periphery of Fang City, and it may take time to transfer too many troops, but it will not take much time for hundreds of soldiers to be transferred.

But the problem is that the three hundred Shu troops in the center of Fang City have not been cleared out, although they are unable to launch an attack for a while, but if they suddenly kill when the war is stalemate, then Zhang Ke will face the situation of being cut off from the back road and being attacked from both sides.

This use of soldiers is really too risky.

Of course, the last and most important determining factor. Zhang He was injured and could not charge in person.

If Zhang He was not injured at this time, then Zhang He might have taken this risk.

Zhang He could take his remaining 300 elite forbidden troops, use himself as an arrow, and take advantage of the opportunity when Zhang Xi had just led his troops to Dachangji and had an unstable foothold, and launched a charge against Zhang Xi's Chinese army.

This is not without a chance of success, after all, it is impossible for Zhang Xi to know what the specific battle situation in Dachangji is now, maybe Zhang Xi thought that the Wei army was blocked in the northwest of Dachangji and could not get over at all.

Zhang He had the conditions to launch a surprise attack.

Moreover, Zhang He has confidence in the combat power of his own soldiers, and he is also confident in his own martial arts, and he is even more confident in Zhang Xi's martial arts.

Zhang Xi, although he is a famous general, has always been known for his strategy, and it is rumored that he does not know martial arts at all, and it is difficult to kill a chicken. Such a person, as long as he can give himself the opportunity to fight in close combat, Zhang He dares to guarantee that Zhang Xi will not survive a move.

But nowadays. Zhang He looked at his legs, especially the tingling pain from the arrow wound in the crook of his right knee, and he could only be disheartened.

did not personally lead the troops to charge into battle, and only relied on more than 300 soldiers to attack the 1,000 soldiers brought by Zhang Xi, at most, it could only be a surprise, which made Zhang Xi a little hurried. If you want to kill Zhang Xi in a battle, it is too difficult.

Come to think of it, in the end, the probability of failure is higher than the probability of success. Such a decision would be irresponsible to the soldiers.

This is not the work of the general.

Order, retirement.

Zhang He said to retreat, that is, it was really retreating, and it was not muddy and watery at all.

Most of the Wei soldiers are still in the mountain road, and they don't need to do too much mobilization and preparation, they can directly change from the rear to the front and withdraw directly.

But the more than 300 soldiers led by Zhang He still need to stay for a while.

On the one hand, to prevent the Shu army in Dachangji from launching a counterattack and delaying the speed of their own retreat, on the other hand, it is also necessary to guard against the sudden arrival of Zhang Xi's troops and pursue them into the mountain road.

Although, Zhang He felt that with Zhang Xi's style of using troops, prudence first, he probably would not follow into a mountain road that he was not familiar with at all, but just in case, Zhang He still had to take these 300 people as the broken rear troops, and try to avoid the possibility of the Shu army pursuing.

After accepting the fact that his strategic plan had failed, Zhang He resolutely retreated without the slightest hesitation.

And Liu Yin in Dachangji does not have the ability to counterattack and drag Zhang He's subordinates now, and to be honest, even if he drags those three hundred people, it doesn't make much sense, unless he can block Zhang He's retreat, this is the value of counterattack.

But this is not possible.

Even if Zhang He is injured, if he is bent on running, he can escape at any time under the escort of his own soldiers, and you can't stop him at all.

Liu Yin didn't want to let the soldiers who were already at the end of the crossbow fight for this.

Therefore, Liu Yin stood still in Dachangji and sat back and watched the Wei army retreat.

What about ZHANG Xi. I hurried all the way, and when I reached a place still a mile away from Dachangji, I slowed down my march.

Zhang Xi has always been cautious in the use of troops, even if he is in a hurry to support Dachangji, but in the end, he will not bump into it all at once, and he has to be on guard against whether it is possible for the Wei army to launch a surprise attack.

In fact, slowing down the march at a distance of one mile from Dachangji was already a risky approach for Zhang Xi.

If it weren't for the scout's report that there were still Han army flags in Dachangji, and there were still soldiers holding on, maybe Zhang Xi would have gone up and down the village directly on the official road and blocked Zhang He's march route.

His own Pao Ze brothers are still fighting, but they abandon it, this kind of thing, Zhang Xi can't do it.

Therefore, Zhang Xi still marched as soon as possible, risked approaching Dachangji, and only when there was still one mile left near Dachangji did he order the army to slow down and be on guard to prevent the enemy from attacking.

However, on the road of one mile, Zhang Xi did not see any Wei troops standing. There was the Wei army, and it was also the Wei army that died on the battlefield.

At this time, Liu Yin finally saw Zhang Xi's handsome banner and knew that Zhang Xi had arrived at the periphery of Dachangji.

Now that the Wei army has been withdrawn for about a quarter of an hour, Liu Yin also has kung fu, leading his troops out of Dachangji and coming to join Zhang Xi.

Seeing Zhang Xi's first face, Liu Yin immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty that he was worried about the lives of the sergeants after all, and did not lead the troops to counterattack the Wei army, allowing the Wei army to withdraw calmly.

It's not big, it's a fault.

But Zhang Xi obviously would not punish Liu Yin for this, on the contrary, he hurriedly helped Liu Yin up, and expressed enough admiration and appreciation for Liu Yin's persistence.

And Liu Yin hurriedly mentioned the second thing - in order to motivate those defeated soldiers to return to the battle, Liu Yin had promised to divide the land of more than 100 defeated soldiers.

When Zhang Xi heard this, the corners of his mouth almost twitched. A hundred hectares?! You're really open-minded!!

But after listening carefully to Liu Yin's report on the situation at the time, Zhang Xi could only pinch his nose and admit it.

In that case, Liu Yin only promised a hundred hectares of fertile land, without adding a thousand catties of gold, which was already a lot of money for himself.

Liu Yin actually regretted that he knew that the Wei army was going to withdraw, so he gritted his teeth and held it up.

Now it's okay, I promised to go out, and these defeated soldiers also responded, but without doing anything, the Wei army had already withdrawn.

It's a lot of money.

However, there is no joke in the army!

Especially when it comes to this kind of heavy reward for important people's lives, no matter whether these people really help in the end, they still have to give what they should give, so Liu Yin mentioned this matter to Zhang Xi as soon as he pleaded guilty.

Zhang Xi also knows that you can't be sloppy in this matter, if you don't talk this time, when you ask someone to die in the future, this trick won't work.

Therefore, in the matter of a hundred hectares of fertile land, Zhang Xi could only grit his teeth and agree. Turn around and throw Zhuge Liang a headache!

If you really want to lay down Guanzhong, a hundred hectares of fertile land is not a problem at all, and Zhuge Liang can arrange it casually.

Even if you can't beat Guanzhong, with the current level of development of Hanzhong, it is not so difficult to get a hundred hectares of fertile land to reward these soldiers, and maybe you can help Hanzhong develop.

It doesn't matter.

What really matters:

"Where is Xiu Yuan?! Why didn't you see Xiu Yuan come to see me?! ”

Zhang Xi couldn't wait for Feng Xi to appear, and hurriedly asked Liu Yin.

The two have been talking until now, Zhang Xi has never seen Feng Xi's appearance, and Liu Yin has not mentioned Feng Xi, which is very strange.

As for Liu Yin, he also paused and hurriedly looked around.

Liu Yin really didn't know what was wrong with Feng Xi, after all, when Feng Xi was charging into battle, the situation on the battlefield was very chaotic, and Liu Yin was busy setting up the second line of defense at the time, so he didn't notice that Feng Xi launched a charge.

But Liu Yin still understood a little in his heart, when the frontal defeated army retreated, Feng Xi did not retreat with the defeated army, so Feng Xi's fate is estimated to be no better.

Just now, I was busy reporting to Zhang Xi about the defense of Dachangji, and I didn't think about it for a while, but now that Zhang Xi mentioned it, Liu Yin's face suddenly darkened.

But Liu Yin didn't get the letter in the end, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he could only quickly send someone to find those defeated soldiers and ask about Feng Xi's whereabouts.

"The villain personally saw General Feng leading the troops to charge into battle, and then disappeared without a trace. Died in battle"

A defeated soldier, so said.

Zhang Xi and Liu Yin were speechless for a long time, and their hearts were sad.

Although Zhang Xi has been fighting for more than ten years, he has always been very lucky, and few of the generals who partner with him have been killed directly, and Liu Yin's short days in the army and the death of his colleagues are also the first time he has encountered them.

Although these two are accustomed to seeing the life and death of soldiers, it is the first time that they have experienced the death of their colleagues, and they are inevitably a little embarrassed and uncomfortable.

But no matter what, people can't be resurrected after death, and all the two of them can do now is to clean up the battlefield, find Feng Xi's body, and send it back to Chengdu for burial.

In a corner of the battlefield, the two finally saw Feng Xi lying motionless on the ground.

Zhang Xi watched silently and didn't say a word.

In the end, it was Liu Yin who softly ordered the guards around him to carry Feng Xi's body back to the army and do some processing first.

After all, even if it is winter, if you want to send it back to Chengdu, you still need to do some auxiliary measures in advance, otherwise you will send it back.

"General, General Feng seems to still have a heart!"

Well?!!!
