Chapter 2100: Talking on paper

 “Withdraw, retreat quickly.”

Tuoba Tao waved his riding crop and shouted. He thought that after winning a victory, he would show off his power next, but he did not expect that he would be forced to withdraw his troops and abandon the camp.

 Tuoba Tao had already guessed Wei Qing's plan after withdrawing from the valley.

Tuoba Tao never expected that Wei Qing's strategy would be so brilliant, and the terrain that was an advantage to him would become a weapon for Wei Qing to force him away, so he was convinced of the defeat this time.

Even if Tuoba Tao saw Wei Qing's plan, he had no way to solve it. After all, there were already many soldiers suffering from heat stroke in the Qing army, and even if the fire went out, the temperature in the valley would not dissipate immediately, so for the Qing army It would be wise to withdraw our troops.

Tuoba Tao guessed that after the fire was extinguished, the Qin army would definitely come to pursue him. However, a large number of soldiers in the army suffered from heat stroke, which affected the overall marching speed. If this continued, the Qin army would definitely catch up.

In order to prevent being overtaken by the Qin army, Tuoba Tao ordered Nian Deli to lead a thousand soldiers who had not suffered from heat stroke to stay behind and delay the retreat of the third battalion.

As expected by Tuoba Tao, after occupying the second battalion, Wei Qing sent troops to pursue him, and the leading generals were Li Ling and Xue Dingshan, who had snatched Guan Deli's mount.

  Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.

As soon as he saw Xue Dingshan, Guan Deli lost his mind and charged directly into the Qin army alone. Immediately afterwards, the two armies also started a melee.

 In the previous single fights between Xue Dingshan and Nian Deli, he was not the enemy of Nian Deli's 15th unit with a single hammer.

Now that Nian Deli has two hammers in his hands, he takes action with hatred and full combat power. However, Xue Dingshan is still injured, so naturally he does not dare to challenge Nian Deli to humiliate himself.

Facing Nian Deli who was rushing towards him on a single horse, Xue Dingshan sneered and then took the initiative to provoke him. This also made Nian Deli angrier and rushed towards Xue Dingshan like crazy. Ordinary Qin soldiers could not stop him at all.

Xue Dingshan saw Nian Deli coming to fight, so he took the initiative to ride his horse away from the army, and Nian Deli chased after him.

In this way, Xue Dingshan lured Nian Deli away. Without Nian Deli's Qing army, it was naturally impossible to block the Qin army that was ten times his own.

Under the command of Li Ling, more than half of the thousand elite Qing troops who were left behind were killed by the Qin army before they could hold out even a stick of incense.

Just when the Qing army was about to be wiped out, Nian Deli suddenly came back to kill them.

He was originally chasing after him, but suddenly he thought that Xue Dingshan was riding his golden-eyed black dragon colt. With the mount under his crotch, it was impossible to catch up. He immediately realized that Xue Dingshan was deliberately moving him away, so he decided to think To turn back.

How could Xue Dingshan let Guan Deli go back so easily? He immediately called out the ambush troops that had been ambushed in advance, including five hundred sword and shield bearers and five hundred spearmen.

 Under the command of Xue Dingshan, these 500 swordsmen, shield bearers and 500 spearmen were divided into four large and small encirclement circles, surrounding Nian Deli one person at a time.

Xue Dingshan first used shield squeezing tactics to restrain Nian Deli, and then killed Nian Deli in the spear array.

The shield squeezing tactic was pioneered by Gao Shun, a famous general of the Qin Army. It was specifically used to concentrate the power of a group to deal with masters with super personal strength. It is said that many masters died under the shields trapped in the camp.

Xue Dingshan made a mistake after all. If his thousands of ambush soldiers were trapped in the camp, they might still be able to capture Nian Deli. However, these one thousand ambush soldiers are just ordinary soldiers, so naturally it is impossible to capture Nian Deli against ten thousand enemies.

Facing Xue Dingshan’s shield tactics, Nian Deli took advantage of his own strength to the extreme. He smashed every shield and broke every one.

The Qin Army's specially made stainless steel shields could withstand continuous fire from powerful crossbows, but they were as fragile as paper under the bombardment of sticky sledgehammers.

Under Xue Dingshan's command, even though more than a thousand soldiers had been integrated into one body, they still could not suppress one person in Guan Deli.

At this moment, Xue Dingshan finally realized that the shield squeezing tactic was suitable for generals with light weapons, and would be restrained by powerful weapons such as hammers and axes.

No matter how strong the shield is, an ordinary soldier cannot withstand a powerful general's hammer. Even if the shield is not broken, it will still be injured by the huge force. Therefore, when faced with strong adhesion, the invincible shield squeezing tactic is so ineffective. This is not because there is a problem with the tactic, but because Xue Dingshan used the wrong tactic from the beginning.

Even if Xue Dingshan realized this at this time, it was too late. The war was not just a war on paper, and there would be no chance to do it again.

In the end, Nian Deli easily broke through the four encirclements, but Xue Dingshan was unable to do anything about it. He didn't even dare to chase, and could only listen to the wailing of the soldiers around him with a guilty heart.

At this moment, Xue Dingshan's desire to become stronger was extremely strong.

After Nian Deli fought his way out, he joined the soldiers who came to the rear. Li Ling quickly mobilized his soldiers to stop him, but how could he stop him?

Nian Deli traveled quickly and relied on his personal bravery to forcefully kill the Qin army. After that, he finally rejoined his men. However, after taking stock, he found that more than half of his men had been killed or wounded.

How long can such a small number of people persist?

 There is no other way, Gui Deli can only take one step at a time and lead the remaining army to resist with difficulty.

 Don't mention it, the combat power of the Qing army with strong adhesion is completely different from that of the Qing army without effective adhesion.

 After Nian Deli came back, not only did the Qing army's combat effectiveness become stronger, but the rate of casualties became much slower.

Nian Deli fully explains what it means to rely on personal courage to influence the trend of a war.

Of course, even if the stickiness is strong, it can only influence but not change.

 After fighting for another incense stick, only a dozen people of the Qing army were left alive.

Seeing this, Nian Deli attacked Li Ling single-handedly, hoping to kill Li Ling so that the Qin army could retreat without a fight.

Not long after Ke Guan Deli left, the remaining ten or so Qing soldiers also died in the battle.

 At this point, the remaining Qing army was completely wiped out except for one man, Guan Deli.

Seeing that the Qing army fought until the entire army was annihilated, and no one deserted, Li Ling and Xue Dingshan were extremely touched by this.

Originally, in their opinion, the Qin army had already won this battle. No matter how hard the Qing army struggled, it would be a dead end sooner or later.

But now it seems that this battle is far from settled. The Qing army still has the power to counterattack. If the Qin army is careless, it will definitely suffer.

Nian Deli originally wanted to kill Li Ling, but he quickly lost his way as the rebels rushed left and right. In desperation, he had no choice but to give up killing Li Ling and break out in the direction of the third battalion.

Li Ling naturally didn't want to let Guan Deli leave. He mobilized his crossbowmen to shoot at Guan Deli's mount, but he didn't want to let Guan Deli fall from the horse and still walk fast even on foot. The soldiers couldn't catch up with him at all, so he finally let him break out on foot. Got out.

Looking at Nian Deli's leaving figure, Li Ling clenched his fists unconsciously, thinking that when he was responsible for defending the city, even Sun Lingming couldn't do anything to him, but now that he tried his best, he finally let Nian Deli go. Got away.

"We can only hope for foreign aid sent by the Lord. I hope he can kill this thief."

Li Ling sighed helplessly. Anyway, he really couldn't do anything about it.

In this encounter, three thousand Qin troops fought against one thousand Duanhou Qing troops. After the war, statistics showed that the Qin troops killed a thousand enemies in total and suffered three hundred casualties, of which two hundred died at the hands of Guan Deli.

 Coupled with all the previous performances, Guan Deli became famous in one battle!
