Deng Yan was also unwilling to be outdone. In the past, he faced much more enemies than he is now, but in the end, they were all beaten by him and his officers and soldiers, and the Pei family army was no different.

Deng Yan had a few soldiers and divided the entire army into four armies, each with 5,000 people, leaving the remaining 3,000 as reserve forces, and could be put into the entire battlefield for support at any time.

Compared with the Pei family army, although the Sichuan army under Deng Qi's command was in the military formation, the mental outlook and density of the soldiers could not be compared with the Pei family army, they had been through the battle formation for a long time. Some people even joined the army since the first year of Tianqi and have been fighting to this day. It can be said that they have to use killing techniques. The battlefield adaptation is naturally much more familiar than the Pei family army, which has become a large number of new recruits.

The two sides lined up neatly and gradually got closer. Since there were too many people on both sides, it was almost impossible to maintain a neat battle formation. Therefore, whether it was the Pei family army or the Sichuan army, they had to stop and adjust the queue every once in a while, and then continue to move forward.

Slowly, the two sides approached, and when they got close enough, the archers from both sides were the first to launch. The arrows were like locusts, covering the sun all day long, shooting towards the opponent's army.

A hoarse voice of "raising a shield" resounded throughout the battlefield. This was the sword and shield soldier in the Pei family's army. As the name suggests, the sword and shield soldier is holding a shield in one hand and the other hand. In addition, there is no armor on the other body.

When the sword and shield soldiers heard the order, they raised the shield in their hands over their heads and curled up their whole body behind the shield. Almost for a moment, the dense rain of arrows slammed on the shield. From time to time, bows and arrows shot through the gaps in the middle of the shield and shot the soldiers' exposed arms, legs and other limbs, and screams came one after another in the formation.

The long-term war allowed Pei Xiaoer to summarize the combat practices belonging to the Pei family army. There is a clear statement that when fighting head-on, the death-threatening soldiers in heavy armor should be placed at the front of the team. On the one hand, they were wearing heavy armor and were not afraid of swords, guns and arrows in the battle. When facing the influx of bows and arrows, the casualties could be kept to a minimum. On the other hand, they could also be the forefront of the entire army. When fighting with the enemy, they could break the enemy's battle formation, break into the enemy's formation, and open gaps for the army.

The Sichuan Army led by Deng Yan on the opposite side was much worse in terms of equipment. Some people were at most wearing leather armor, and some even wore vine armor. However, these vine armors had good ability to shoot arrows. Most of them were blocked by vine armor when the bows and arrows shot. There was basically nothing wrong with the people inside.

It can be said that in this round of shooting, both sides were half a dozen, but there were many soldiers in the Pei family, and the archers were twice as high as those of Deng Yan, so the Pei family's army shot more densely. With similar frequency, the casualties of Deng Yan's subordinates were far greater than those of Pei's army, and as time passed, this difference would gradually increase.

Deng Yan is worthy of being a veteran of the battle formation. Such a subtle difference on the battlefield naturally did not escape his eyes.

Deng Qi knew very well that the advantage of the other party's Pei family was that it had a large number of people and a large number of well-trained veterans. They could fight protracted battles after fighting. The disadvantage was that there were too many new recruits, just like a fat man who had eaten too much, and his physical adjustment was not good. On the contrary, his Sichuan Army was the opposite. He had few large soldiers, including all veterans, with rich combat experience and good coordination. The disadvantage was that they were too small and they were not durable.

In short, if 10,000 fights head-on, the Pei family army will be defeated by the Sichuan army. If two fights one, the Sichuan army will be defeated by the Pei family army. This is the reason why it is said that the master is killed by random punches.

Therefore, you should concentrate your troops and attack the enemy with all your strength. After breaking this time, you can drive away the defeated troops and attack other military formations. At that time, the snowball rolls up, and your victory will come with the snowball.

"The whole army obeys the order and advances with all its might. Yang Yuchun, you lead 10,000 people to attack the thieves and attack the second army formation on the left wing, Cao Yingqiu, you lead 10,000 people to attack the first army formation on the right wing of the thieves and attack the first army formation on the right wing of the thieves." Deng Qi looked serious.

The second army formation on the left wing was Yu Dawei under the command of Liu Changle, Dingguo Army, and the first army formation on the right wing was Pei Xiaosan under the command of Wang Daozhi of the brave army. These two army formations were just outside the Pei family formation. It can be said that they had taken down these two army formations, which was equivalent to two snowballs rolling on both sides of the Pei family army and crashing into the Pei family army in the middle at the same time. The Pei family army's defeat was not far away by then.

Deng Yan ordered that the left and right wings were instantly accelerated under the leadership of Yang Yuchun and Cao Yingqiu, and headed straight for the left and right wings of the Pei family army.

Pei Xiaoer also kept paying attention to the situation of the battle. Seeing the opponent's officers and soldiers doing this, he instantly understood the other party's intention, "Hmph, I want to concentrate my troops to eat my wings, and the plate was very good, but did he forget that I had 10,000 people in one battle formation, and even if they were concentrated, there were only 10,000 people. Even if one of my battle formations was lost, there were two other parties. I think what he would do.

He sent the order to Wang Daozhi and Liu Changle, and ordered them to eat the enemy's wings."

As the messengers shuttled through the battle formations and conveyed Pei Xiaoer's orders to each battle formation, the form on the battlefield began to change. Seeing Pei Xiaoer's two huge fists on both sides of the left and right wings, he opened his palms and clenched towards the Sichuan Army that was rushing straight.

’After a while, both sides joined forces, and the Sichuan soldiers rushed towards the other party’s Pei family army with the determination to die. Pei Xiaosan, who was facing the Sichuan army, was ready to fight, supported the big shield, and went all out to welcome the first collision.

There was only a sound of bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang, and the sound of bones breaking, and the screams of soldiers. Several soldiers of the Pei family were knocked out and rolled aside. After thrusting twice, they disappeared. The robes behind them did not care about sadness, crossed the corpse, rushed to the front to fill his vacancy.

"Stay, keep it steady." The officers shouted at the top of their lungs. A gap of dozens of meters was knocked out of the Pei family's front. A large number of Sichuan troops entered the formation along the gap, raised their swords and slashed. For a moment, the soldiers of the Pei family in the formation were killed and retreated step by step, and the entire formation was shaking.

The goshawks cut through the sky, and the war on the ground was in a stalemate. Pei Xiaosan, the left wing of the Pei family army, was fighting with the enemy. The soldiers of the other two towns on the left wing were surrounding the Sichuan Army's retreat at a very fast speed, trying to encircle and destroy the Sichuan Army, who dared to kill him.

The same situation happened on the right wing of the Pei family army. For a while, the entire battlefield was competing for speed. If the Sichuan Army could defeat the Pei family army in front first, they would drive the defeated soldiers and turn around and rush towards the other towns, the victory would be certain. However, if the Pei family army and others surrounded the Sichuan army and attacked them under the pressure of the Sichuan army, the Sichuan army would be wiped out.

However, in the current situation, the Sichuan Army's offensive was obviously not as fast as the Pei Family Army's siege, and the balance of victory was gradually tilting towards the Pei Family Army.

At this moment, Deng Yan, who had been watching the battle with Pei Xiaoer, suddenly shouted: "Brothers, it's time to make achievements now, let me kill you!!!"

"kill!!!"

The three thousand reserve teams that Deng Qi stayed beside him shouted in unison, and then the entire army followed Deng Qi and ran forward wildly.

"Deng Yan is moving. Are he planning to increase the left wing or right wing? It should be the left wing. The situation in our army on the left wing is obviously superior. Now there is a counterattack situation. Once the siege is completed, the officers and soldiers will be in the jar." Pei Xiaoer secretly guessed in his heart. Just as he was about to order the left wing to increase the left wing, he found that Deng Yan on the opposite side did not go to the left wing. Instead, he led three thousand reserve teams and rushed straight towards him.

Is Deng Qi crazy? He let the main forces on the left and right wings ignore it, but he took this risky move. Is this a temporary act of intention or a strategy he chose from the beginning? If it is a temporary act of intention to counterattack, then Deng Qi is just a reckless man, betting on his 20,000 army and making a hope of this if possible.

If this was his strategy at the beginning, then this man's talent for war was rare in the world. He used the main force as bait to transfer his main force away, just like a pair of fists spreading out, and his chest was exposed, and he was like a dagger to stab his confidant; or he himself was the bait, attacking his confidant, attracting the left and right wings to come for rescue, while his main force on the left and right wings could take advantage of the situation to attack and defeat the enemy.

Not only that, he can change between the bait and the main force at any time. The main force can become the bait, and the bait can become the main force. The virtual and real are deeply rooted in the essence of military strategy.
