Pei Zhuer's troops had long been on guard against the opponent's cavalry raid. The entire army formed a tight square formation. The pikemen were arranged in three teams outside, with the heads of their spears tilted upward and the tails of their spears touching the ground. In the inner layer were soldiers with swords and shields.

Ready to go, ready to support comrades in the front at any time.

The officers and soldiers also saw the prepared look of the Pei family's army. The captain of the Pei army smiled scornfully and said, "It's a small skill, pass my military order and attack."

When the military order was first issued, the official cavalry began to run slowly towards the Pei family's army. When they reached about three hundred steps, the horses began to accelerate. At two hundred steps, the speed of the horses began to surge.

The spearmen of the Pei family army were facing the galloping towards them. The thundering cavalry was a little panicked. The hand holding the spear began to tremble unconsciously. The thought of dropping the spear and running away emerged uncontrollably, and as the distance between the two sides got closer,

It becomes more and more intense.

Fortunately, Pei Zhuer was in the middle of the spearmen and tried his best to calm the uneasy mood of the soldiers, barely maintaining a dense battle line.

A hundred steps later, the officers, soldiers and cavalry suddenly separated from the middle, divided into two groups, bypassed the tightly defended Pei Zhu'er's troops, and moved towards outflanking Pei Xiaoer's Chinese Army who was fighting Zhang Daojun.

Oh no, Pei Zhuer slapped his thigh and said in a panic: "Quick, divide your troops to protect the left and right sides of the central army." Following his voice, the army under his command began to march toward the two wings of the central army in a chaotic manner, trying to catch up with the cavalry attack.

The army stopped it before.

But the cavalry, which was already running at full speed, was so fast, how could he allow him to arrange it calmly? In almost a few breaths, they had already killed Pei Xiaoer's central army.

Pei Xiaoer also noticed the official cavalry bypassing Pei Zhuer and heading toward him. His pupils shrank and he ordered reflexively, "Left and left, turn left and right, stop them."

But it was too late, the officers and soldiers had already entered the formation from the side, and instantly penetrated into the depths of the army like a knife cutting through butter, stirring up the formation and shattering it into pieces. "The leader of the thief is there, and whoever can capture it will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver."

"The captain of the servant pointed at Pei Xiaoer's Chinese army flag and loudly encouraged people.

"Enter them." Pei Xiaoer watched in front of the Chinese army. The army cavalry rushed into the formation and came towards him with a stern expression. Seeing that the situation was extremely critical, Hu Shi'an, the captain of the soldiers on the side, pulled Pei Xiaoer to fight.

Evacuate.

But how could Pei Xiaoer leave at this time? The entire army would collapse as soon as he left. Pushing Hu Shian away, Pei Xiaoer drew his sword, pointed at the enemy, and said firmly: "Get away, I will live and die with the army."

.”

Seeing Pei Xiaoer's resolute attitude, Hu Shi'an did not dare to act rashly anymore. He stood tightly in front of Pei Xiaoer and looked nervously at the approaching enemy troops.

The government cavalry was overjoyed to see Pei Xiaoer's flag still standing high, unmoving, and headed towards Pei Xiaoer regardless. However, it is not that easy in the military formation. The terrain, corpses, and resisting soldiers,

Slowing down the speed of the officers and soldiers, making them slower and slower.

The cavalry lost its speed, just like a person lost his legs, and its combat capability was not even as good as that of a soldier standing on the ground. At the same time, Pei Zhuer, who was on the periphery, finally mobilized his troops, intending to block the retreat of the officers, soldiers, and cavalry.

It has to be said that Captain Ding, the officer and soldier's servant, is a talented person. He discovered this problem keenly and immediately put aside the opportunity to capture the enemy leader and shouted: "Retreat, retreat quickly, don't be reluctant to fight."

After saying that, he took the lead and rushed towards the encirclement that was about to close.

The rest of the cavalry also appeared to be extremely elite. Even if the closest distance to Pei Xiaoer was only about twenty steps, they might be able to capture Pei Xiaoer alive if they tried harder. However, after hearing the leader's order to retreat, they turned their horses around and followed him without any reason.

The leader rushed out.

Pei Xiaoer stood in the formation and saw all this clearly. He refused to retreat and used himself as bait in the hope that he could keep all the officers and soldiers and cavalry while ensuring the safety of the army. Unfortunately, he underestimated it.

The decision of the officers and soldiers.

After the officers, soldiers and cavalry withdrew, they galloped around Pei Xiaoer's army in search of opportunities, staring at their prey like hungry wolves.

However, after experiencing the failure, Pei Zhuer became obviously much smarter. He sent troops to surround the Chinese army on three sides, with their spears pointed outwards, not giving the cavalry any chance.

The retreat of the cavalry indicated that Zhang Daojun had completely lost hope of victory. After nearly half an hour of hard fighting, the officers and soldiers in heavy armor, whose already exhausted bodies no longer had the strength to swing their swords, were stabbed to death one after another.

.

However, the most critical situation is not for them, but for the light infantry who are facing the siege of Li Chang in the rear. Although these infantry are also extremely brave, the enemy they face is indeed several times their number, and the enemy's front is the same.

They were no less dense than them. After barely parrying for nearly half an hour, some people finally couldn't stand the fear in their hearts, broke away from the line, and ran away.

Fear is contagious, and so can running away. There is no need for anyone to greet you. Each soldier throws away the weapon in his hand and flees for his life privately.

"Deserts will be killed without mercy" Zhang Daojun still wanted to maintain the situation, but in this stormy sea, his voice was as insignificant as the cry of a mosquito.

The military formation of the officers and soldiers finally collapsed, and a large number of soldiers ran around like headless flies. The fields, hillsides, and official roads were full of scattered officers and soldiers.

Pei Xiaoer laughed, "Brothers, we have won, let's keep them all."

The soldiers of the Pei family army obviously saw the miserable situation of the officers and soldiers, and their morale was greatly boosted. Their tired bodies seemed to be full of strength again, and they strode forward to surround more officers and soldiers.

Zhang Daojun was also fleeing. Before the army collapsed, he knew that it would be impossible to win today. So not long after the army collapsed, he took a few servants around him to break away from the officers and soldiers of the brigade and ride on

He rode his fast horse towards the nearby cavalry brigade.

At the same time, the cavalry brigade that had been wandering nearby saw the collapse of the army and immediately changed its target and galloped towards Zhang Daojun in an attempt to rescue him.

The two sides quickly joined forces, and Zhang Daojun took over the command of Captain Jia Ding and ordered: "The army is divided into three teams, and they will coordinate with each army and harass the enemy."

The cavalry behind them should be in the rear. The cavalry dispersed around the camps of the Pei family army. Sometimes they ran wildly around the battle formation, sometimes they pretended to attack, and they were as annoying as flies.

The Pei family's army lacked cavalry and was in an extremely passive state. They needed to maintain their line at all times to prevent the enemy's feint attack from turning into a real attack.

Finally, the sky was getting dark, and the broken figures of the officers and soldiers disappeared into the distance. The cavalry gradually broke away from the Pei family's army, gathered together, and evacuated towards the main camp.
