At this moment, in Wei Yan's hands, there are actually no more than 7,000 soldiers available.

Although the rear army withdrew a part, the cavalry attack of Biqiu Jian caused a lot of losses to the rear army Although it was too late to go into detail, Wei Yan judged a little with his experience that this was only a quarter of an hour of fighting, and the rear army lost at least five hundred soldiers.

The advantage of cavalry over infantry is so obvious.

If it weren't for Wang Shuang's sudden rush into battle, and he succeeded, then the two thousand rear army, in Wei Yan's cognition, would not be able to retreat.

Therefore, when Wei Yan calculated and found that he could still have more than 6,000 troops to launch an attack on the Wei army, he himself was already quite satisfied.

As for Biqiu Jian, he re-sent cavalry to cut off his own back road. This Wei Yan really doesn't care.

This was originally within the scope of Wei Yan's calculations, and it was not an unacceptable fact.

This part of Wei Yan's soldiers was originally intended to lure the enemy, and their only way out was to wait for Wu Yi to lead the troops to break through Guo Huai, and take advantage of the chaos of the Wei army to kill them out of the chaos.

Therefore, now Wei Yan must launch an attack on the Chinese army as soon as possible, attract the front and rear armies of the Wei army to come to the aid as much as possible, and create opportunities for Wu Yi.

This difficulty, in fact, is very high.

The Chinese army of the Wei army has about 15,000 people, and in terms of strength, it is more than twice as many as the soldiers led by Wei Yan, and in terms of combat effectiveness, at least half of these 15,000 people are Cao Wei's central forbidden army, and the combat effectiveness is definitely higher than that of Wei Yan's county soldiers.

If in peacetime, Wei Yan wanted to focus on breaking through such a military formation defense and burning the baggage stored in the Chinese army, it was basically an impossible task.

But now, the Wei army has been short of food for a long time, and it is in a state of eagerness to retreat. The morale of the sergeants and soldiers will inevitably be greatly affected.

In addition, Wei Yan did not want to engage the Chinese army with 15,000 people in an all-round way, he just wanted to seize the opportunity to focus on a breakthrough, and the victory or defeat should be in the number of five or five.

This judgment was enough for Wei Yan to take some adventures.

In fact, when Zhuge Qian led some of the soldiers to start approaching the Wei army, Zhuge Qian could also clearly see that there were some soldiers in the Wei army, and there was obvious panic.

And Zhuge Qian did not waste this opportunity, and directly waved his army to attack this group of panicked soldiers, and at the beginning, he opened a hole in the defensive line of the Chinese army.

But. That's it.

Zhuge Qian's ability is there, but compared to generals like Wei Yan, there is still a big gap. He could sense an opportunity on the battlefield, but he couldn't seize the opportunity to expand the victory.

The soldiers who panicked at the first time were the logistics troops in Guo Huaizhong's army responsible for supporting the baggage, not to mention the weak combat effectiveness, and the quality of the soldiers was also uneven, so Zhuge Qian was given the opportunity to enter.

But with Guo Huai's Cao Wei forbidden army left in the Chinese army quickly coming to help, Zhuge Qian's ability was only enough for him to stabilize the front and maintain this gap, and he did not have the ability to kill these Cao Wei forbidden troops and expand the offensive path.

In addition, the troops in Zhuge Qian's hands are indeed insufficient, and he doesn't know when Wei Yan will be able to come to help in the future, so Zhuge Qian is very weak-hearted, and from time to time he thinks about whether to withdraw and look for an opportunity to attack again.

Fortunately, because of Zhuge Qian's lack of ability, he couldn't make the right choice at the first time, and after hesitation, Wei Yan finally came to support in time with the Chinese army and the rear army.

After Wei Yan took over the command of the battlefield, he immediately made a judgment.

Not only did he not withdraw from Zhuge Qian's department, but instead let Wang Shuang lead the troops to reinforce Zhuge Qian, and with Wang Shuang as the arrow, he used Wang Shuang's ability to be good at chaotic warfare, and tried to drag the Cao Wei forbidden army into the rhythm of chaotic warfare.

If you really want to set up a position to attack and defend, with the organizational ability of Cao Wei's forbidden army, even if the army is not upbeat now, it is not uncertain to block the attack of the county soldiers under Wei Yan.

And as long as these forbidden armies blocked their own attacks, as time passed, when more Wei troops realized that the combat effectiveness of the Han army was no more than that. This battle really can't be fought.

Therefore, Wei Yan must choose a chaotic battle, disrupt the formations and organizations of both sides, and compete with his personal martial bravery and blood. This is a competition, but who is even more desperate.

Today's Wei army is a Wei army that is eager to retreat, not a Wei army that is completely surrounded by people and has no way out, they have no reason to fight for their lives. Seeing that the enemy army was not easy to mess with, these Wei troops' first reaction was definitely not to desperately, but to retreat quickly.

When a soldier has no fighting spirit, no matter how high the quality of the soldiers is and how strong the organization is, they will not be able to bring out their due combat effectiveness.

On the contrary, for the Han army, if it can't repel the Wei army in front of it, it is really under siege and there is no way to retreat. The Han army has enough reasons to be desperate.

Under the command of Wei Yan, there was a chaotic battle, and the Chinese defense line of the Wei army was really retreating, and it felt like it was about to collapse at any time.

And at this time, Wei Yan, the main general, did not stay in the rear to command, but joined the battlefield in person with a knife. At this time, the main general will go down in person, which can not only greatly improve the morale of his own side, but also use Wei Yan as an arrow, relying on Wei Yan's personal bravery, to tear or expand the loopholes in the Wei army's defense line on the battlefield.

All this was going quite smoothly, seeing that Wei Yan was about to break into the Chinese army, kill and disperse the enemy's defensive line, and set fire to the three thousand former soldiers sent by Guo Huai finally arrived.

These 3,000 soldiers were not only a new force to join the battlefield, but they also brought Guo Huai's order - the whole army held on, protected the baggage, and surrounded the enemy.

When there is no clear military order, it is understandable that these non-commissioned officers and soldiers want to retreat or even flee when they do not know what to do.

But now that Guo Huai's military order has arrived, all the lieutenants of the Chinese army must strictly implement it.

Although there was still no master to command these soldiers, the high degree of organization of Cao Wei's forbidden army could be reflected at this time - under the command of various captains, Cao Wei's soldiers began to assemble in groups of hundreds and thousands, and at the same time moved closer to the direction of the baggage battalion.

This kind of defense, for Wei Yan, an experienced general, is actually not difficult to break through, but the problem is that there are too many Wei troops, even if Wei Yan can break them all, but he wants to burn the enemy's baggage, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve it for a while.

Not to mention, it is necessary to attract more soldiers from the front army and the rear army to come over to support the Chinese army.

Yes, the former sergeant has already sent 3,000 people to the Chinese army, but the problem is that according to the information Wei Yan obtained, Guo Huai's front army originally had a full 8,000 people.

Even if 3,000 people are sent now, Guo Huai still has 5,000 people in his hands and Wu Yi has them, but there are only 3,000 northern troops.

Although the Northern Army is also known as the elite of the Han Dynasty, many of these soldiers have never been on the battlefield, and no one dares to guarantee what it will be like when they really fight.

In the final analysis, the foundation of the Han Dynasty was too weak, and he did not dare to select the best of the best from the army with combat experience to form the northern and southern armies, for fear that this would delay the combat effectiveness of other troops, so he could only recruit from scratch and choose a good family to retrain.

Therefore, not to mention Wei Yan, even Wu Yi, the chief officer who has been engaged in the drills of the Northern and Southern Army, actually has no bottom in his heart.

The safest way is for Wei Yan to work harder, strive to break through more Chinese troops, and attract Guo Huai to send reinforcements to the Chinese army again.

But. It's really hard.

Wei Yan fought hard and thought of a way at the same time, but after thinking about it, there was no better way than to fight desperately.

At this time, Wu Yi couldn't wait.

Because Wei Yan's tossing in the Chinese army really effectively diverted Guo Huai's attention, Guo Huai sent most of the scouts to the direction of the Chinese army to investigate the situation, resulting in a lot of reduction in the number of scouts in the front army.

Thanks to this, Wu Yi marched all the way with 3,000 northern soldiers and soldiers, and really moved to a place seven miles away from Guo Huai's former army.

But that's the end of it. At this distance, Wu Yi was finally discovered by Guo Huai's scouts.

Now that it has been discovered, there is no need for Wu Yi to continue to hide.

Quickly reorganize the army and line up, and the whole army wants Guo Huai's front army to launch an attack.

And Guo Huai was also taken aback when he learned that Shu County appeared seven miles on his side, and his brain turned rapidly, and he immediately understood everything.

Wei Yan of the Chinese army is a disguise, this group of Shu troops is ruthless enough, and they use the main general of the first army as bait, just to sneak attack their former army.

But. When Guo Huai heard the scout's report that the Shu army on the flank of the front army was only two or three thousand people, Guo Huai breathed a sigh of relief.

The former army was all elite of the forbidden army, and there were as many as 5,000 people, even if the army was not motivated now, it was not something that the two or three thousand people of the Shu army could do.

Not to mention, now that the enemy's main general is still fighting in the Chinese army, as long as it is not Wei Yan himself, then Guo Huai is really confident that he will completely suppress this Shu army of only two or three thousand people.

This is really not Guo Huai's underestimation of the enemy, it is Guo Huai's confidence in himself According to the Meixian intelligence obtained by Guo Huai, the Meixian defenders are available in addition to one Wei Yan, that is, one of Wei Yan's deputy generals, Wu Ban, and one general, Zhuge Qian.

If the Chinese army is Wei Yan personally commanding the attack, then the main general of the sneak attack on the front army is likely to be Wei Yan's deputy general Wu Ban.

Who is this Wu Ban?!

Have any of you heard of it?!

Guo Huai didn't believe it, he wasn't even scared of famous generals like Zhang Xi and Zhang Fei, could he still suffer in the hands of a small Wu Ban?!

And when Guo Huai saw from a distance that the main general of the army who came to attack the Shu army was under the banner of "Wu", he was even more confident.
