Wei Yan was ready for battle, but these preparations, in Biqiu Jian's opinion, were not too threatening.

Because Wei Yan has a big problem with the allocation of troops.

Wei Yan's troop configuration is a typical top-heavy defensive configuration, the foremost part of the front army is the pikemen, and in addition to this part of the pikemen, whether it is the flank or the rear flank, the weapons in the hands of Wei Yanjun's non-commissioned officers are either Changge or ring-headed knives.

These soldiers did not have the ability to resist the onslaught of cavalry.

And Wei Yan. Wei Yan actually knew about his strength and troop allocation, but he couldn't help it.

In order to quickly catch up with the retreating Guo Huai army, Wei Yan could not bring too much baggage, so he could only reduce the weight of the soldiers as much as possible, and use the ring head knife and Changge as the regular ordnance configuration.

If it weren't for the fact that Guo Huaijun still had a cavalry unit, Wei Yan didn't even plan to let the soldiers carry the spear.

The spear of this year is often four or five meters long, and this thing has no use at all in the chaotic battle, and it is not as good as the ring head knife and Changge.

Therefore, according to his actual situation, Wei Yan only let the five hundred soldiers of the front army bring spears, the purpose is to withstand the cavalry of Guo Huai's cavalry after a shock, seize the time for the cavalry to readjust the formation, approach the Wei army's Chinese army as soon as possible, and strangle with the Wei army, so as to avoid more soldiers being killed after being scattered by the cavalry.

But since then, there is actually a big problem. If the Wei cavalry did not go head-to-head with you, but chose to take a detour to the flank or rear flank of the Wei Yan army and then attack, the Wei Yan army might really not have any ability to defend against cavalry assaults.

Biqiu Jian's ability is good, although he is not particularly good at commanding cavalry, but he still sees the enemy's military situation very clearly. This kind of top-heavy defense, if Biqiu Jian still chooses to hit it headlong, it is a brain-dead behavior.

Therefore, when the two armies were still two miles apart, Biqiu Jian suddenly commanded the cavalry, bypassed the front spear formation of the Shu army, and went to the flank of the Shu army.

Wei Yan looked at the direction of the enemy's cavalry, and immediately understood the enemy's intentions. Headache, but Wei Yan had no choice.

On the one hand, Wei Yan could only quickly order the spear array to follow and move to the flank, on the other hand, Wei Yan ordered Zhuge Qian to lead the remaining front army to advance as soon as possible, and strive to quickly strangle with the Wei army.

As for himself, Wei Yan still stayed, acting with the spear formation to protect the flank of the army.

Next, it's time to rush for time.

But in fact, Wei Yan also knew that when it came to grabbing time, it was very likely that he would not be able to rob Wei Jun.

After all, they are cavalrymen, and the speed of running on four legs is much faster than that of two legs.

After all, Biqiu Jian made a detour to the flank to launch an attack, and he had to make a small circle and open up a distance of at least one mile or so, so that it was convenient to give full play to the impact of the cavalry.

Therefore, Wei Yan felt that as long as he moved more quickly, it was not without the opportunity to move quickly to the flank, and even if he could not completely block the impact of the enemy cavalry, it would be good to block the next part.

Just bar. Wei Yan also somewhat underestimated Biqiu Jian's command ability.

Biqiu Jian did make a detour, but he did not go around in circles to open up the distance, but adhered to the flank of the Shu army's offensive formation at a distance of fifty or sixty paces, and commanded the cavalry to harass and drive away the enemy army with cavalry shooting.

In addition to frontal assault, the cavalry of these years also had a very effective way to deal with the infantry, that is, mounted archery.

Of course, in this era when there are no bilateral stirrups, the work of mounted archery is really not something that every cavalry can do, and even if it can be done, the hit rate of mounted archery in these years is really touching, and Biqiu Jian only has 2,000 cavalry in his hands, and he can't replace quality with quantity.

Not every cavalry can do cavalry archery, but without requiring accuracy, it is not a high requirement to let the cavalry shoot arrows into the Shu army camp fifty or sixty paces away.

The purpose of Biqiu Jian was not to kill the enemy, but to harass the enemy's army, disrupt the enemy's offensive formation, create chaos among the enemy's army, and thus undermine the enemy's morale.

After all, the speed of the cavalry is too fast, and the infantry can only be passively beaten in the face of cavalry shooting, and what is even worse is that in order to prepare for a chaotic battle, Wei Yan has very few shield soldiers in his army, and he cannot achieve completely effective protection at all.

Therefore, in the face of cavalry cavalry shooting only fifty or sixty paces away, Wei Yanjun's central army and rear wing troops were more or less in a lot of commotion.

At this time, Zhuge Qian had already received Wei Yan's military order, and was ready to lead the army to quickly move forward to strangle the Wei army, and Wei Yan himself mobilized pikemen in the front army to defend back. In the middle army and the rear army, there is only one Wang Shuang in command.

However, Wang Shuangzhen is not a general who is famous for his command ability. If he had this brain, he would not have appeared in the camp of the Han army.

One more. Wang Shuang is a newcomer in the end, and his mind is still unstable.

chose to surrender in order to save his life, but now he has only faced the "old master" in only half a month, and Wang Shuang himself does not have much desire to fight.

In this way, Wang Shuang, who was powerless and had an ostrich mentality, did not make effective adjustments and commands to the Chinese army and the rear army at all, resulting in a mess between the Chinese army and the rear army, and I don't know whether to take the initiative to meet the enemy army or seize the time to retreat.

This gave Biqiu Jian the opportunity to ride and shoot all the way to the back of Wei Yanjun.

In the end, Wei Yan found out that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly issued a military order to the whole army to ignore the enemy cavalry and advance quickly, which stabilized his position a little.

As for Wang Shuang, although Wei Yan was also angry, the current battlefield situation was very critical, and Wei Yan really didn't have the heart to compete with Wang Shuang.

When this battle is over, everyone can go back alive, and then settle accounts with this idiot.

Of course, if everyone can't go back, then there is no need to settle accounts.

The current situation on the battlefield is already a little bad.

Wei Yan really didn't expect Biqiu Jian's command ability to be so good, and when he fought with him before, he didn't see that this kid still had such a hand. For a while, Wei Yan really couldn't rush to the rear army immediately, so he could only do his best to let the soldiers advance as soon as possible before the Wei army launched a second surprise attack.

But Biqiu Jian really didn't plan to give Wei Yan too much time.

He had already made a detour to Biqiu Jian, which was behind Wei Yanjun, and at a distance of one mile behind Wei Yanjun, he reorganized his army, changed from a cavalry state to an assault state, and prepared to launch an attack on Wei Yanjun's rear flank.

This time I don't play cavalry shooting, it's a pure cavalry raid.

At this time, Wei Yan, with a spear formation of 500 people, had just arrived at the Chinese army, and he had no time to rush to the position of the rear army.

The rear army also has about 2,000 soldiers, if it encounters a surprise attack of 2,000 cavalry. Wei Yan really can't afford to lose.

And what Wei Yan was most afraid of was that after breaking these two thousand foot soldiers, Biqiu Jian directly drove these foot soldiers to flee in the direction of Wei Yan. In the face of such a chaotic army, it was impossible for Wei Yan's spear array to stand up, and naturally it was impossible to temporarily stop Biqiu Jian's cavalry.

In this case, I am afraid that it will be difficult to complete my own raid mission, let alone mobilize Guo Huai's former army to help.

If you don't know it, you will have to be surrounded by enemy legions, and finally die on the battlefield.

It is not terrible to die on the battlefield, what Wei Yan is really afraid of is that he died on the battlefield, but he has no value and cannot hold back this Wei army.

So Wei Yan is really anxious, how he hopes that now the rear army can have a reliable commander, command the soldiers to stick to the spot, and buy himself some time. But it's a pity that in today's rear army, there is only one brainless reckless man Wang Shuang.

How much time can you expect a commander like Wang Shuang to buy himself?!

As long as he had this ability, there would be no chaos between the middle army and the rear army just now. Huh?! What's the situation?!

Just when Wei Yan was anxious and helpless, he suddenly found that his own rear army had actually gathered together at this time, and began to take the initiative to meet the Wei army!!

Give Wei Yanqi . What the hell is this bastard Wang Shuang doing?!

Let the 2,000 foot soldiers take the initiative to attack the 2,000 cavalry, is this because he didn't die fast enough?!

Or is it that this Wang Shuang saw that the situation on the battlefield was not right, and was ready to directly defect on the battlefield and surrender to Biqiu Jian?!

But that doesn't make sense.

If you want to surrender on the battlefield, if you are a little stupid, you should let the soldiers lay down their arms, and it is smarter to surrender on your knees, shouldn't you take the initiative to attack your side?!

Why do you still take the initiative to gather troops and launch a counterattack in the direction of the attack of the Wei cavalry?!

Could it be that Wang Shuang really had the courage to use this kind of suicidal attack to buy time for himself and Zhuge Qian?!

Wei Yan really couldn't understand what Wang Shuang was doing, but in this case, Wei Yan was no longer able to effectively control the rear army that had already rushed out, so it was better to line up on the spot.

First list the defensive formation, after a while the army is defeated, the impact itself can't even list the defensive formation.

In any case, Wei Yan had to buy some time for the more than 4,000 Chinese troops and front troops led by Zhuge Qian, so that they could smoothly strangle with the Wei army.

As for the rear army, Wei Yan was already hopeless.
