Chapter two hundred and ninety third in danger

Just when Liu Changle was advancing all the way in Yunyang Prefecture and was full of energy, the battle between Li Guojun, the Xuanwu Army of the Pei Family Army, near Dangzikou, and Li Bei, the deputy general, came to an end.

In fact, a few days ago, when Li Guojun was surrounded, Li Bei discovered that the strategy he used had a fatal flaw. It was not that the effect was not good and could not surround many enemy troops, but that the effect was too good. There were too many thief troops surrounding them, so it was difficult to deal with their small body. Just like a greedy poisonous snake, swallowing a tiger of similar size in one bite, which could not be digested for a while and choked.

This is a very serious problem. If it is not handled properly, it will not be as simple as choking, and it is very likely that you will be choked to death directly.

Looking at the Pei family army who had stabilized their positions under the siege of his elite army, Li Bei's face was so gloomy.

At this time, soldiers came to report, "Mr. Outside the camp, a part of the Pei family army that entered the encirclement was attacking the camp. The brothers were short of troops and were now at a disadvantage."

Li Bei himself had only more than 20,000 people, while the Pei family army had more than 30,000 people. At this time, Li Bei had already drawn all the elite troops and used them to surround the Pei family army that fell into the encirclement. The defense power in other places naturally decreased greatly.

"Support it," Li Bei ordered to die. "In addition, send someone outside the camp to gather all the untouchables we were holding over and let them attack the Pei family army."

As mentioned earlier, Li Bei had only 20,000 troops under his command, but he either sent people to pretend to be defeated soldiers to attract the Pei family army to attack, or arranged elite troops to ambush the camp. The people used here and outside greatly exceeded his entire force. Naturally, Li Bei transformed this out of thin air, but he sent troops to gather refugees along the way and selected some seemingly strong men from them.

After that, they put a few sets of clothes on these strong men. In the end, the military uniforms were not enough, and they directly let these people wear the clothes of the people and hide in the deepest part of the team. Anyway, the officers and soldiers often force the village to join the army, and they really couldn't tell if they didn't look carefully. Finally, and the most critical step was to draw a small number of elite soldiers to mix in this "army" and act as a supervisory team. The controller's "army" would not deviate from the track.

This has many benefits. First of all, it is that it is fast-growing the army and can create many people out of thin air to confuse the audio-visual of the Pei family army. The Pei family army has long reported that Li Bei's army has only 20,000 people. This is the main reason why Li Guojun has no doubts on the battlefield. Who would have thought that the officers and soldiers in front of him were not officers and soldiers?

The second is the real defeat. Generally speaking, it is not easy to win a war, but to lose it truly and without doubt, it is also a technical job. However, using these people is not a problem, because they are really defeated, and they are defeated miserably. Facing this opponent who is willing to do his best but vulnerable, who can resist the idea of ​​not having the idea of ​​achieving success in one battle? Once you have this idea, you will fall into Li Bei's trap.

Li Bei has been fighting for many years, and his thinking about his opponent has reached its peak. This is because such a person does not understand politics, otherwise his current achievements would not be as simple as a small deputy general.

After hearing Li Bei's orders, the soldiers immediately turned around and left quickly. Li Bei's eyes turned back to the battlefield where they were fighting again.

On the battlefield, the surrounded Pei family army surrounded by Li Guojun as the center, forming a circular formation. The outermost periphery was a layer of sword and shield soldiers, holding a large shield in front of them to defend the attack of the officers and soldiers outside. Behind the sword and shield soldiers were several layers of spear soldiers holding long spears. They waved the spears in their hands and stabbed hard outside through the gaps between the sword and shield soldiers in front. This was the main killer force of the Pei family army formation.

Behind these spearmen were archers who were not in armor. After a series of battles, there were not many archers in the archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer's archer

The entire formation has more defense and not strong attack. However, in this environment, such a formation is actually the most suitable formation. What Li Guojun has to do now is just one word, drag it.

It was dragged until Pei Xiaoer, the leader of the Pei family army, led his troops to rescue. This war seemed to be the battle between the Pei family army and Li Bei, who represented the Ming Dynasty. Behind Li Bei was backed by millions of soldiers and civilians in the Ming Dynasty. But in fact, these backings not only did not give Li Bei any advantage, but instead became a psychological burden for him. Once Li Bei was defeated and the soldiers and horses were seriously damaged, the Ming Dynasty would likely take Li Bei directly to the capital and cut off the military law with one knife.

It was precisely because of these burdens that Li Bei dared not do his best and did not dare to suffer too much casualties, because if he had soldiers, no matter how he was defeated, the court would not touch him a single penny. If his soldiers were gone, his death date would come. Therefore, although Li Bei was a soldier of the court, he was alone. With his mere 20,000 troops, he had to fight for the entire Pei family army with tens of thousands of troops. In terms of strength, the Pei family army was the dominant.

All of this has a consequence, that is, once Pei Xiaoer's reinforcements arrive, Li Bei's planning will be failed, and even if Li Bei doesn't run fast enough, he is very likely to be completely wiped out by the Pei family army. This is why Li Bei ordered an attack directly despite the fact that Li Bei had just surrounded the Pei family army. Otherwise, it would be delayed for a few days, anyway, the Pei family army in the encirclement did not carry food, grass and supplies. When the Pei family army in the encirclement was exhausted, wouldn't it be easy for him to take action?

Now everything is in time. It depends on whether Pei Xiaoer's reinforcements arrived first, or whether the Pei family army in the encirclement could not support it first and was defeated by Li Bei.

"Attack, no stop." Li Bei rode on the horse, staring at the battle situation. Whenever the soldiers under his command made a breakthrough, Li Bei immediately felt an indescribable comfort in his heart.

"Sir." The soldiers who had just come to report came again, "I found reinforcements from the thief army outside the camp?"

The ‘reinforcements’ came so fast? Li Bei’s pupils contracted violently, and the sudden pressure made him almost breathless. However, he was still a veteran on the battlefield. Despite this, he still persisted and showed no performance on the surface.

"Lei Qilong, you are in command here." Li Bei said to a military officer beside him, "Remember not to stop attacking. One should defeat the enemy in the shortest time. If you can defeat the thief army, I personally write to the court to ask for you for me."

"I will obey the order." Lei Qilong has been through the battlefield for a long time, and he is not vague at this critical moment, so he will follow the instructions.

"Let's go and see how the reinforcements from the bandit army came so quickly?" Let's say that, Li Bei turned over the horse, and the nail pages on his body rustled.

Outside the camp, the reinforcements coming to rescue were naturally not the reinforcements sent by Pei Xiaoer. In fact, Pei Xiaoer had just received news that Li Guojun was hiding and was surrounded. Even if he immediately ordered the army to come for rescue, he would probably have to wait until the next day to arrive. At this time, the reinforcements were the three thousand infantrymen who stayed in the camp when Li Guojun came out to fight, and guarded the camp.

It was naturally Wang Hong's order outside the camp. When Wang Hong saw Li Guojun entering the military camp, he felt inexplicably uneasy. As expected, not long after Li Guojun entered the military camp, several soldiers on both sides of the camp came out of nowhere, cutting off the Pei family army inside and outside the camp. Fortunately, Wang Hong was walking behind and pressing the army for the army, so he was lucky enough to stay outside the camp.

In the face of this incident, Wang Hong did not disappoint the Pei family army's cultivation. On the one hand, he urgently reported the incident to Pei Xiaoer in Junzhou City and requested reinforcements; on the other hand, he gathered the Pei family army scattered outside the camp of the officers and soldiers, and at the same time transferred all the three thousand soldiers left by Li Guojun in the head of the camp, gathering more than 12,000 infantrymen.

Then Wang Hong commanded the two thousand remaining troops to launch a fierce attack on the officers and soldiers' camps. After training by Li Bei, a famous general in northern Shaanxi, these troops performed well overall. Relying on favorable terrain, they firmly determined the Pei family army to be killed outside the camp and could not move forward.
