Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2290: Li Cunxiao Fights the Four Monkeys Again

With Yuan Shen personally leading the Guanning Iron Cavalry to charge, and with the personal command of Yuan Chonghuan, a skilled and capable general, Deng Feng, the chief general of the rear army, was unable to hold on alone for a while.

It was also because of this that Wang Jian underestimated the charge strength of the Guanning Iron Cavalry and the charge strength of Xie Ai's army, which directly caused his original plan to deviate.

Wang Jian in the central army was also in a difficult situation at this time. He thought that the rear army, commanded by Deng Feng and Li Cunxiao, would give him enough time to deploy troops, but the situation in the rear army was much worse than he expected.

If the situation continues to develop in this way, it will no longer be realistic to launch a complete encirclement as originally planned and completely swallow up the Guanning Iron Cavalry.

I'm afraid that by that time, the rear army would have been defeated by the enemy. At that time, where can we surround and kill the enemy?

As a last resort, Wang Jian could only choose the backup plan.

People like Wang Jian would think about all the possible situations that might be encountered before going to war, and also come up with various sets of response measures.

Once the rear army failed to withstand the pressure as they expected, Wang Jian would decisively abandon the previous idea of ​​encirclement and attack, and instead directly send out cavalry on both wings to force the Guanning Iron Cavalry.

However, if they did so, the central army would not be able to arrive in time, and they would not be able to launch a complete encirclement. Naturally, they would not be able to outflank the Guanning Iron Cavalry.

After all, the Guanning Iron Cavalry were not numerous in number, so when Wang Jian ordered the cavalry on both wings to encircle them, Yuan Chonghuan decisively took the opportunity to stop and led the Guanning Iron Cavalry to temporarily leave the battlefield, not giving Wang Jian the opportunity to surround them.

Since the Guanning Iron Cavalry had already retreated, it was natural for Xie Ai's troops to withdraw from the battlefield as well.

If he doesn't retreat, Wang Jian's main force in the central army will attack at once, and then they will turn victory into defeat.

It was also this battle that caused Wang Jian's first step into the Dabie Mountains to suffer a setback.

The deaths of two great generals, Bai Jue and Li Tianchang, were a heavy loss.

In particular, Bai Jue is Bai Qi's most favored son.

Among Bai Qi's sons, Bai Yan was the most courageous one, but he was only brave and did not inherit any of Bai Qi's military tactics. Therefore, he valued this most courageous son the least.

And all along, Bai Yan was rarely transferred directly to Bai Qi's account.

On the other hand, although Bai Jue is not as brave as Bai Yan, he is still a minor master in today's world, which is at least enough.

The most important thing is that Bai Jue is not like Bai Yan, who only knows how to show off his bravery. When necessary, he will still use his brain. He is a typical general who is both wise and brave and has two-sided development. It is precisely because of this that he keeps Bai Jue by his side and teaches him all the time, hoping that he can truly become a talent and develop in the direction he expects.

This battle was unfavorable and was a big blow to the Jin army.

After this battle, Li Cunxiao challenged Lu Er and Yuan Shen again, and defeated them on his own, and even had a slight advantage.

However, after Sun Luzhen and Wu Zhiqi joined the team again, even Li Cunxiao could not withstand the combination of these four people. Once these four people joined forces, the combination skills were launched. Among these four people, although Sun Luzhen and Wu Zhiqi were still far behind, the two strongest people, Lu Er and Yuan Shen, already had the ability to fight against Li Cunxiao alone.

Before, Li Cunxiao fought against Lu Er and Yuan Shen alone, and was even able to gain a slight advantage, but that was only because they were fighting against two people without the blessing of combo skills.

Lu Er and Yuan Shen were already the top warriors in the world, but after receiving the boost from the combination skills, they were undoubtedly the top warriors at that time. At this time, they were truly able to compete with the top warriors in the world.

It can even be said that any of the top high-level generals or ultimate generals like them, once they obtain a set of combination skill enhancements, can clash with the most powerful people at that time.

Fortunately, with the support of Hou Yi who was injured, Li Cunxiao was able to retreat.

If it were just Lu Er and Yuan Shen, it might be difficult to keep Li Cunxiao.

But if these four people attacked together, even Li Cunxiao would be at risk of being left behind. After all, with the combined power, even the two relatively weaker ones could barely reach the level of a high-level general. Even Sun Luzhen had already fully possessed the combat power of a high-level general at that time.

Li Cunxiao's defeat at the hands of four generals, Lu Er, Yuan Shen, Sun Luzhen and Wu Zhiqi, also indirectly boosted the morale of the enemy army.

There were only three invincible generals in the Jin army.

Xing Tian, ​​Li Cunxiao, and Kong Xuan.

There are only these three who have never been defeated in the battlefield for so many years. Even if they have encountered opponents before, they could only compete with them at most, but never had the chance to defeat them.

Apart from these three, of course, we also have to exclude Bai Hu, Xuan Wu, Gou Chen and others who have just joined. The remaining generals, even a brave general like Sun Mei, have experienced losses.

For example, in this Central Plains War, Sun Mei suffered a great loss at the hands of Xia Luqi and Zhao Yu.

Although it took the help of four generals to defeat Li Cunxiao, it still proved that the Jin army could still be defeated.

Although the Battle of Dabie Mountains was only a small victory and did not cause exaggerated casualties to Wang Jian's troops, it was still widely publicized by Zhu Di in the Jianghuai region, just like the small victory over Guo Ziyi, which was still widely publicized by Zhu Di in the Jianghuai region.

Since the wars in the Central Plains and the South began, they have suffered too many defeats, and now, these troops in the Jianghuai region are almost all remnants of defeated soldiers gathered from all over the place.

Such troops have certain problems with their fighting will and morale.

Therefore, even if it was just a small victory, Zhu Di had to publicize it widely, even exaggeratedly, and say that he had won everything. But in Zhu Di's mouth, it might have become a gain of ten thousand.

Wang Jian's strategic retreat to reorganize his troops was directly interpreted by Zhu Di as a flight in defeat with no weapons and armor thrown away.
