To tell the truth, Guo Huai and Cao Zhen's abilities are not bad, Wen Qin and Biqiu Jian under their command also have the qualifications of famous generals, but unfortunately, the four of them met almost Ji Han's all-star lineup.

Especially a certain dead fish head, with the plan of this battle, showed the world how high the gold content of the ten philosophers of Wumiao is.

When Cao Zhen thought that the Shu army was going to hold back the water and build a dam and flood the city of Huaili, Zhuge Liang's purpose was always to lure Cao Zhen to divide his troops into battle and completely defeat this Wei army in the field battle.

When Cao Zhen thought that he could take the risk of going to war and destroying the embankment to delay time, Zhuge Liang had already arranged the details of the Wei army to be surrounded by various roads, and even when to block and when to release, he had made detailed arrangements.

When Cao Zhen realized that he had been fooled and thought that the Shu army was going to lead him out of the city and attack Huaili, Zhuge Liang asked Liu Bei to personally lead the army to encircle and block Huaili, but instead sent Zhang Fei to lead 10,000 troops, cooperate with Zhao Yun's cavalry, and flank Cao Zhen's team out of the city to respond.

Since then, the 24,000 Wei troops in Huaili City, except for the 3,000 soldiers in the hands of Wen Qin, who guarded the city, 21,000 people, have all left the Huaili city defense, and have been completely surrounded by people in the wilderness outside the city like hamburgers.

When Cao Zhen retreated to a place five miles away from Huaili City, and saw Zhang Fei who was killing him head-on, he immediately knew that he had completely fallen for the plan.

From beginning to end, the military operations of Cao Zhen and Guo Huai basically did not deviate from the siege strategy formulated by Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, and they were calculated to death.

But if you want to say that Liu Bei's main army won a great victory because of this, you also underestimated the ability of Cao Zhen and others.

Under the predicament, Cao Zhen and other generals showed their abilities in the end.

Maybe Cao Zhen and others are at a disadvantage in terms of the layout of the battle situation, but no one is much better than anyone else in terms of military command ability.

As soon as Cao Zhen saw that his way was cut off, he did not hesitate, immediately turned around and went to join forces with Guo Huai.

And Guo Huai also seized the opportunity, and immediately made a decision before Zhang Fei completely caught up, leading the army to attack Wu Yi's army.

Guo Huai can't help it.

Wei Yan and Huang Quan's command ability, Guo Huai has already understood, breaking through the encirclement direction of these two people in a short period of time, even if the current strength is superior, it is not realistic.

And time waits for no one, once Zhang Fei is surrounded from the rear, coupled with Zhao Yun's cavalry to attack, Guo Huai will not be able to take out none of these soldiers.

Therefore, Guo Huai could only try his luck and beat Wu Yi to see if he could find a breakthrough from Wu Yi.

Moreover, Guo Huai did not think about defeating Wu Yi's department head-on.

After all, Wu Yi is also a figure who leads 10,000 troops alone, and the person who can lead tens of thousands of troops alone in these years naturally has his advantages, and it is obviously unrealistic to completely defeat the enemy army in a short period of time.

Guo Huai just wanted to see if he could make Wu Yi's department reveal some flaws and gaps through the onslaught, so that he could take advantage of this gap to get out.

As long as you get out of this encirclement and can break through, then the rest of the things will be much easier.

To tell the truth, Wu Yi's ability is indeed slightly worse than Wei Yan and Huang Quan, but as a famous general in Sichuan, Wu Yi is not so easy to mess with.

Seeing that Guo Huai's main force was coming towards him, Wu Yi did not panic much, but calmed down and responded by defending on the spot and fighting steadily.

Wu Yi knew very well that now that the Wei army was encircled, as long as it held out for a period of time, as the friendly forces closed, this encirclement network became smaller and smaller, and the Wei army could collapse at any time.

Therefore, in the face of the onslaught of 14,000 Wei troops, Wu Yi did not lose his position, but was single-mindedly defensive, so that Guo Huai had no chance to take advantage of it.

Guo Huai also looked anxious. If you can't quickly find the flaws of Wu Yijun and finally be surrounded, not to mention these soldiers, even generals such as him and Cao Zhen, don't want to break through in such a dense encirclement network.

Guo Huai can't be a prisoner of Shu thieves, and Cao Zhen can't either.

And at this time, the mutation suddenly happened.

The first anomaly was that the 2,000 cavalry of Biqiu Jian's department suddenly gave up the combat method of the rangers, and no longer used the tactics of containing Zhao Yun's Qianghu cavalry, but turned to a strong assault and launched a surprise attack on the cavalry of Zhao Yun's department.

To tell the truth, this is a way of fighting to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself, and in terms of troops, 2,000 Wei cavalry against 10,000 Qianghu cavalry, Biqiu Jian does not have an advantage in strength.

But. The reason why the Qianghu miscellaneous cavalry is called miscellaneous cavalry is not without reason.

This group of Hu cavalry, when fighting a tailwind battle, it was one more preemptive than the other. There are rewards and rewards for winning battles, and this is a major event related to the survival and development of a clan.

But once they encountered a tough battle, these Hu people were a little unresistant.

The Qianghu Miscellaneous Cavalry has never been a regular army, but a coalition of several or even dozens of tribes, and these dozens of tribes may still have contradictions with each other. You're counting on these things to fight you hard?!

The Hu people who can be Qianghu miscellaneous horsemen are all young and strong in the clan, and in the northwest region, the number of young and strong people of a clan seriously affects the status of this tribe in the northwest region, and the Qianghu tribe sent troops in order to seek wealth and food.

One more. In these years, it is recognized that "one Han arrives at five Hu", and the combat effectiveness of the Han cavalry is originally stronger than that of the Qiang-Hu miscellaneous cavalry.

Therefore, when Biqiu Jianzhen's leader began to fight hard, the tribal generals of the Qianghu Army, who took the lead in the battle, found that their headquarters had suffered heavy losses, and did not hesitate to order their tribesmen to withdraw from the battlefield and let others take over.

Anyway, it's okay to die teammates and not die.

But you're smart, and others aren't stupid. Let my tribe go to death, and when I return to the grassland, then my tribe is not going to be annexed by you?!

Isn't it just rotten, who won't come?

As mentioned earlier, the Qianghu Miscellaneous Cavalry is not an organized regular army, although Zhao Yun can command this army for a while, but at this time, Zhao Yun really has no way to use the military law of the Han people to restrain these Qianghu Miscellaneous Cavalry. When mercenaries want to mess up, who cares what kind of military law your regular army is.

Therefore, even if Zhao Yun tried his best to restrain him, he still let Biqiu Jian lead the cavalry to kill through a road, get rid of the contact between the two cavalry, and go straight to the direction of the main battlefield.

Although in this battle, Biqiu Jian was not comfortable, and his troops were lost a lot, at least more than 400 cavalry were lost in this assault. But Zhao Yun was still shocked.

Because the direction of Biqiu Jian's attack was behind Wu Yijun.

Obviously, this is because Biqiu Jian was aware of Guo Huai's breakthrough direction, and he fought with a large number of cavalry damage, and he also had to cooperate with Guo Huai's army to flank Wu Yi's army before and after, creating an opportunity for Guo Huai's army to break through.

At this time, Wu Yi couldn't hold his breath in the end.

If it was just to deal with Guo Huai's strong attack, Wu Yi could still command calmly, fight for the casualties of the soldiers and delay time, and completely consume Guo Huai's army.

But now, more than a thousand cavalry suddenly appeared behind him, even if Zhao Yun was trying to make up for this mistake and desperately organized the Qianghu cavalry to help, but for Wu Yi, he couldn't be indifferent.

A thousand cavalry, under normal circumstances, has a great impact on 10,000 foot soldiers, let alone cooperate with Guo Huai to attack on both sides.

Wu Yi really had no choice, he could only choose to divide 3,000 troops to his brother Wu Ban, and let him lead the army to temporarily block the more than 1,000 cavalry of Biqiu Jian.

If you don't ask him to defeat the enemy, it is also delaying time, as long as you wait until the encirclement of Guo Huai is completely completed here, then even if you lose all these 3,000 foot soldiers, it will be worth it.

But the problem is that Wu Yi's division of troops will inevitably have a certain impact on his defensive formation, and some places will naturally become weak in defense.

In addition, after Wu Yi divided his troops, he only had about 6,000 people left to defend on the spot, and in the face of Guo Huai's military superiority of more than twice as much, it would be a little powerless to ensure the integrity of the defense line.

Guo Huai is also a famous general in the end, and he has extremely rich experience in battle, so he grasped the flaws in Wu Yi's division of troops at a glance, and knew whether he could break through at this moment.

Guo Huai immediately became ruthless, led more than 100 of his personal guards to take the lead, and used himself as an arrow to launch another fierce attack on the weak points of Wu Yi's army's defense.

At this time, Cao Zhen finally successfully completed the convergence with Guo Huaijun, and did not hesitate to see the situation, and immediately joined the ranks of the onslaught, Wu Yi finally couldn't hold on.

Guo Huai's army finally broke through the defense line of Wu Yi's army and killed thousands of soldiers.

And followed by thousands of soldiers led by Cao Zhen, who also drilled out of this hole in the defense line.

After breaking through the defense line, it does not mean that it will be out of danger immediately, after all, it is only a breakthrough of the defense line, and there is a possibility that people will be surrounded by movement warfare again at any time.

Not to mention anything else, the Qianghu cavalry led by Zhao Yun had already surrounded it again from the flanks.

And at this time, it was Biqiu Jian again, who gave up the attack on Wu Ban, turned around and put on a surprise posture, and launched another assault on the Qianghu miscellaneous cavalry.

To put it bluntly, Biqiu Jian wanted to use the 2,000 cavalry in his hands to fight for a way out for more than 10,000 Wei troops.

And Guo Huai and Cao Zhen, after seeing the direction of Biqiu Jian's march, immediately judged Biqiu Jian's intentions, and at this time, they didn't have time to hesitate, and immediately chose to break through in the opposite direction to Biqiu Jian.

On the battlefield, there was no room for hesitation and mercy, and the glimmer of life that Biqiu Jian had exchanged for his and his two thousand cavalry could not afford to waste Cao Zhen and Guo Huai.
