To be honest, Guanqiu Jian had underestimated Wang Shuang's strength.
Wang Shuang lacked commanding ability and was not very smart, but he was favored by Cao Zhen. How could it be possible that he had no real ability in Shoumei County? !
Wang Shuang's advantages and disadvantages are very obvious. The disadvantage is that he lacks commanding ability and is not good at strategy. But the advantage is that Wang Shuang's ability to rush into the formation is admired by Cao Zhen.
This person is very suitable for rushing into battle, and he is also very good at chaotic fighting. As long as he is not surrounded by Wei Yan like an iron barrel like the last time at Mei County, Wang Shuang can always find a way to break out of the encirclement and go straight to the enemy general.
Guanqiu Jian thought that Wang Shuang was looking for death, and Wang Shuang also felt that it was a fool's errand that Guan Qiu Jian only sent a dozen cavalry to stop him.
In addition, the cavalry under Guanqiu Jian were also a little careless. Wang Shuang seized the opportunity to kill three people in a row, which shocked the morale of the cavalry. Wang Shuang then seized this opportunity and found a weak point in the encirclement. , killed two people in a row, easily broke out of the encirclement, and headed straight for Guanqiu Jian.
Guanqiu Jian really didn't expect that Wang Shuang could break out under such circumstances, and his expression suddenly changed.
But now that the matter has come to this, Guanqiu Jian will not just sit there in a daze and wait for death to come to him, so he should fight.
Tightening the spear in his hand, Guanqiu Jian also took the initiative to move his horse and headed towards Wang Shuang.
Guanqiu Jian also saw Wang Shuang's force value. He was indeed a brave general. But Guan Qiujian believed that his force value was not bad either.
As long as Wang Shuang is not defeated for a single round, as long as he can gain a few breaths of time, when the cavalry troops chasing Wang Shuang gather around him again, Wang Shuang will have to be surrounded again.
Guanqiu Jian thought very well, but as soon as the two horses crossed each other, Guan Qiu Jian immediately felt the gap in strength between the two sides.
Guanqiu Jian clearly remembered that he had the upper hand and stabbed him with his spear, but Wang Shuang swung his sword and knocked it away first.
Although neither party hurt anyone, Guanqiu Jian clearly felt that he was touched by Wang Shuang's sword and felt a sudden numbness in his arms. Regardless of his martial arts level, Wang Shuang's strength was definitely stronger than his own. Much stronger.
But at this time, Guanqiu Jian didn't have time to think about this problem. After the two sides crossed each other, they reined in their horses and turned to face each other again. Wang Shuang roared, and rushed over again brandishing his sword.
At this time, Guan Qiu Jian's cavalry had basically arrived behind Guan Qiu Jian. Faced with such a situation, Guan Qiu Jian had no reason not to stand up and fight.
Guan Qiu Jian's heart sank. He clamped his legs on the horse's belly and held a gun with both hands, trying to use this method to make up for his lack of strength. But what happened next made Guan Qiu Jian a little dumbfounded.
Wang Shuang had no intention of another round of duel with Guan Qiu Jian. He directly avoided the direct confrontation with Guan Qiu Jian, rode his horse and ran past Guan Qiu Jian, aiming directly at the cavalry team catching up behind Guan Qiu Jian. .
This caught me off guard again.
Although the group of cavalry also came up to surround Wang Shuang, it seems that the generals of both sides are fighting one-on-one. In this case, what the cavalry has to do is to surround the position and support Guan Qiujian. Who would have thought that this Wang Shuang actually has no martial ethics? They are coming for these little soldiers.
Caught off guard, coupled with the difference in force value, the two cavalrymen at the front of the cavalry were instantly chopped down by Wang Shuang's sword. Then Wang Shuang didn't look back and planned to run back to his own formation.
Guanqiu Jian was immediately furious. If Wang Shuang ran back again, he would be completely embarrassed.
Guanqiu Jian no longer cared about giving orders at this time, and immediately rode in pursuit, vowing to completely keep Wang Shuang behind.
Guan Qiu Jian's guarding cavalry all rushed forward when they saw Guan Qiu Jian. In order to prevent the general from making mistakes, they also followed up one by one.
This created a situation where Wang Shuang ran in front, Guan Qiu Jian chased behind, and a dozen cavalrymen followed Guan Qiu Jian.
Then, I don’t know what happened, but Wang Shuang’s horse seemed to have poor horsepower and was running slower and slower. He was about to be overtaken by Guanqiu Jian before his eyes.
At this time, Guan Qiu Jian was overjoyed, feeling that he could finally keep this annoying Wang Shuang. But then, Guan Qiu Jian felt flustered, and an unexplained intuition told him that something was wrong.
Thinking about it carefully, the two sides were not pursuing a long-distance pursuit, and he was not riding a BMW. With such a small distance, how could Wang Shuang allow himself to catch up? !
Guan Qiujian just reacted and wanted to rein in his horse and slow down, but it was already too late.
Guanqiu Jian saw Wang Shuang suddenly turn his head and let go of his hand, and a round, black thing came straight towards his face.
Guan Qiu Jian was alert, but after all, he was too close and did not have enough time to react. With a bang, the meteor hammer thrown by Wang Shuang hit Guan Qiu Jian directly in the face, knocking Guan Qiu Jian off his horse. .
When Wang Shuang saw this, he was overjoyed and wanted to turn around and swing his sword, which directly killed Guan Qiu Jian. If he killed Guan Qiu Jian, it would not only be a great achievement, but the entire siege of the rear army would probably be solved.
However, Guan Qiu Jian's cavalry escorts had also caught up and guarded Guan Qiu Jian immediately.
When Wang Shuang saw this, he knew that he couldn't force it.
Of course you can kill a few cavalry by surprise, but it is much more difficult to kill Guanqiu Jian under the protection of more than a dozen cavalry.
In addition, now that Guan Qiujian is lying on the ground, the escorting cavalry are already calling for help from their companions. If Wang Shuang doesn't leave, he will be surrounded like an iron barrel again.
Therefore, although he felt it was a pity, Wang Shuang did not hesitate at all. He immediately rode away and withdrew his rear infantry formation.
But Wang Shuang was a little confused about what to do next.
When riding alone into the formation, Wang Shuang's mind was extremely clear. He had calculated what he should do from the beginning, how to lure Guan Qiujian to pursue him, and how to defeat the enemy with one blow. But once he returned to the army formation, he was asked to command the army. After the formation, he couldn't react.
Wang Shuang had no idea whether he should take advantage of Guanqiu Jian's serious injury and send his troops to cover him up, or whether he should lead his soldiers to join General Wei Yan as soon as possible. Wang Shuang had no idea.
But fortunately, Wei Yan had already arrived at the rear army at this time, and directly led the rear army's soldiers to retreat behind the spear phalanx that had already been formed.
In other words, Wei Yan's sense of Wang Shuang has almost turned 180 degrees.
At first, Wei Yan really felt that although Wang Shuang was a bit brave, he was not courageous enough and was afraid of death. Otherwise, how could he surrender so simply? !
But now, based on Wang Shuang's record of riding through the formation alone and successfully seriously injuring the enemy commander, Wei Yan could not help but call him a "hero".
When Wei Yan saw Wang Shuang riding alone and breaking through the formation, he almost didn't think that Wang Shuang could come back alive and face the siege of more than twenty cavalry alone. Even Wei Yan did not dare to say that he would definitely be able to break through the siege.
Therefore, at this time, Wei Yan still held the thought that the rear army could not be defended, and fully presided over the defense of the spear formation, preparing to deal with the subsequent Wei cavalry attack.
But soon, Wei Yan was dumbfounded.
Wang Shuang not only broke through the siege, but also engaged in battle with Guanqiu Jianzhen. At this time, Wei Yan was really moved.
We can't just watch from behind.
If Wang Shuangzhen killed Guanqiu Jian in formation, then the Wei army's cavalry would inevitably lose morale. At that time, it would be the best time for the rear army to withdraw from the battle.
Even if Wang Shuang could not kill Guan Qiu Jian, as long as he delayed Guan Qiu Jian for a period of time so that he could not directly command the cavalry troops to attack, Wei Yan would be confident and lead the rear army to retreat behind the spear formation.
Although this will still inevitably lead to heavy losses, it is still much better than a complete defeat.
Therefore, at this time, Wei Yan began to take risks and rush towards the rear army.
When Wang Shuang seemed to be defeated, but actually successfully attacked Guanqiu Jian with a reflexive meteor hammer, Wei Yan had already arrived at the rear army in person and began to take over the command and defense of the rear army.
When Wang Shuang completely retreated to his own military formation and hesitated about what to do, Wei Yan had already appeared in front of Wang Shuang, took over the command of the rear army, and led the army to slowly retreat, preparing to disengage and withdraw from the battle.
At this time, Cao Wei's cavalry had no intention of fighting with the Shu army's infantry.
If Guanqiu Jian really has a bad side, no one knows what they will do.
The organization of the army in this era was like this. There was no such thing as a lieutenant-general commanding the army after the general was killed. The army could not collapse even if the lieutenant-general was killed and the captain-general was killed. It was considered well-organized and well-trained.
In addition, Guan Qiu Jian's life and death were unknown, and Guan Qiu Jian's cavalry guards were gathering soldiers around to gather around the Wei army. The cavalry of the Wei army were actually breaking away from contact with the Shu army and gathering in the direction of Guan Qiu Jian.
At this time, Guanqiu Jian slowly regained his consciousness.
To put it bluntly, Guan Qiu Jian is not to blame for this matter.
That was a meteor hammer, not to mention the one with thorns, or it was made entirely of iron. Anyone who was hit by that thing would not be much better.
In addition, Guanqiu Jian was chasing Wang Shuang with all his strength at that time. The fast one was suddenly hit in the face by such a thing. Anyone who was hit would be dizzy.
What's more, Guan Qiu Jian was hit and fell off his horse. Guan Qiu Jian fainted immediately.
As for the trauma, it's actually not serious.
Guan Qiu Jian was very lucky. When the meteor hammer hit, Guan Qiu Jian subconsciously tilted his head. Therefore, the bridge of the nose, eyes and other important parts were not hit, but the cheek bones and cheeks were not hit. It was really smashed.
It was not a serious injury, but the disfigurement basically confirmed that the medical conditions of this era probably did not have the ability to repair cheek bones and scars.
Well, none of this is actually important. These days, when you go into battle to kill the enemy, some scars are inevitable. What Guanqiu Jian really couldn't accept was that because of his temporary fainting, Wei Yan had successfully retreated with his rear troops. Behind the spear array.
It is already difficult to completely defeat this Shu army.
But even so, Guanqiu Jian could not leave the Shu army alone.
After all, this Shu army is not withdrawing. They are going to attack the Wei army's central army. Even if their cavalry cannot help much in this melee situation, they must at least cut off the retreat of this Shu army. Lose.
Therefore, after Guanqiu Jian regained consciousness, he immediately ordered all the cavalry to regroup into formation, regardless of the blood on his face.
We can't attack directly, but we can still threaten the Shu army's formation with mounted fire from the outside and cut off the Shu army's retreat.
Or, you, Wei Yan, can really penetrate the Chinese defense line with these 7,000 soldiers.
If not, the only thing waiting for Wei Yan is to die in the battle surrounded by the Wei central army and cavalry.
