Fufeng Song

Chapter 98 Hu Jia

() Pingtao, an important town in the southwest of Taiyuan State.

On the plain twenty miles away from the south of the city, the main force of the Jinyang Army fought fiercely with Hu Yanhao, the Hun Liu Han's rebellious general, for several days, and this day is no exception.

Although Hu Yanhao is a well-known general of the Huns, compared with Yue Shigong, his battlefield decision-making ability is too far behind.In the battles of the previous few days, he suffered moderate losses at the hands of the Jin army.

Today's battle, Hu Yanhao divided the troops into three formations: front, middle and back.The front line is mainly composed of several teams of Karasuma cavalry, tentatively contacting the target.The middle array has the most powerful troops, and the troops of the subordinate tribes are concentrated here, extending to the two wings along the tributary of Fen River.Hu Yanhao personally led thousands of Xiongnu troops to sit in the rear, ready to go into battle depending on the changing situation.

This arrangement is a thorough defensive formation.The generals at all levels were quite dissatisfied with having to take a defensive position with nearly twice the force. However, after the start of the war, the Huns quickly fell into a passive situation again.

Hu Yanhao was devastated.He repeatedly sent envoys to supervise the generals in front, but he could not reverse the unfavorable situation.Fearing heavy losses, several tribal forces have clearly shown signs of laxity.Hu Yanhao was furious about this, but for a moment he couldn't help those tribal leaders, so he had to send some police soldiers to stabilize the battle situation.

Although the Jinyang Army is small in number, they are very powerful in combat with the elite core force that followed Yue Shigong Qingqi into the merger.At the same time, they relied on the coach's precise prediction and excellent battlefield command to firmly grasp the initiative.In every key area, the Jin army was able to deploy superior forces in time, and gradually dispersed the Huns' front.

The right wing of the battlefield is Liu Kun's intended breakthrough.He sent his personal guard commander Lin Jian and his elite troops to attack the enemy army on this side.

In just half an hour, Lin Jian entered the enemy's formation four times in a row.It was like a giant swinging a sledgehammer, driving strong iron wedges into the wood again and again.Wherever the men and horses went, waves of blood surged, and the enemy troops retreated one after another.

After several fierce battles, Lin Jian's complexion was stained black and red by blood, sweat, and dust. A deep knife wound on his left chest was only briefly bandaged, and the turned flesh and blood were exposed, which was very terrifying.

"Rush again! Once again, you will surely succeed!" Lin Jian looked at the Huns' queue, gritted his teeth and turned around and said, "How is it?" At the beginning, there were nearly a hundred of Liu Kun's followers behind him. There are no more than 30 people, but their fighting will has not weakened in the slightest, and none of them has the intention of retreating.

After a while, Lin Jian saw a gap in the enemy's formation and rushed over.

He sideways let go of the stabbing spear, grabbed the handle, raised his hand and cut off the enemy's arm with a knife.Then he strode forward and kicked the blood-sprayed armless body forward with a flying kick, knocking over the other two enemies.Just as he was about to pursue him, he suddenly heard a bad wind blowing from the back of his head.At the moment of lightning, Lin Jian didn't even have time to turn his head to look around. He had been trained countless times to make him bend over and fall down.

A powerful force swept across his back, it was the mace used by barbarians.If this kind of heavy weapon hits directly, even the bison will break its tendons and bones.Fortunately, Lin Jian escaped quickly, earning his life by a hair's breadth.Even so, the spiky fangs still tore Lin Jian's leather armor, and even tore away a large piece of skin.

Lin Jian let out a strange cry, swung the knife backhand, and stabbed the enemy general wielding the mace to death.His subordinates also rushed up at this time, and amidst the bang, the two armies slammed into one place like two giant beasts that would give up their lives.Just at the moment when the two armies collided, more than fifty soldiers were killed or injured.

Soon, Lin Jian realized that her judgment was correct.Although the momentum of the Huns was fierce at first, they soon showed signs of weakness.This area is indeed the weak point of the barbarian front!After Lin Jian yelled and cut down several barbarian soldiers one after another, the pressure around him suddenly eased!

He stood with a long knife and looked around.I saw that the surrounding enemies were in chaos, and more and more Jin troops rushed into the formation of the Huns through the gap he opened.

"Hahaha! Good! Good!" Lin Jian looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, pointing forward with a knife: "Brothers, follow me!" A large number of Jin soldiers followed closely behind him and launched a swift and fierce attack on the Huns who were relying on the river. horizontal assault.

As the situation on the right wing became more favorable, the Jin army gradually gained the upper hand on several other battlefields.On the left flank, the brave general Lu Bosheng led more than a thousand elite cavalry to outflank them far away, and was about to form a two-sided attack.On the central battlefield, generals such as Pang Chun and Zhang Yi took turns to charge and kill, forcing the Huns to retreat again and again.

Liu Kun, governor of Bingzhou, set up the barracks on a gentle slope.Others stand high on the Hu bed, holding gold and jade wishful troops to fight.Following the continuous issuing of orders, the drums and horns of the Chinese army sounded frequently, and the messengers galloped back and forth, and a group of brave generals immediately led the troops to attack and retreat.Looking around, countless banners were flying around the battlefield, and arrows in the air were as dense as locusts.Thousands of troops and horses clashed to the death, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

General Han Shu was by Liu Kun's side, looking at the situation on the battlefield from a distance, he said optimistically: "The barbarians are in disarray, at most one more hour, and our army will be completely victorious."

Liu Kun stroked his pitch-black beard, and although he didn't answer, his expression was somewhat reserved.

The other general was about to speak when he suddenly heard someone shouting an emergency military report from the rear of the camp, and there was a commotion immediately.

Everyone looked back together, only to see one person and one rider galloping uphill like sparks.With sharp eyes, he recognized that the travel-worn knight was Guo Pan from Yangqu, a subordinate of Wang Xiu who was in charge of bowing horses in Bingzhou.Wang Xiu is a general of Duke Yue Shi, who has been stationed in Shangdang to monitor the movements of the barbarians in Hanoi. Where did his subordinates come here?Many people suddenly had a bad feeling.

Guo Pan ran to get off his horse nearby, his feet went limp, and he almost fell to the ground.He staggered a few steps forward and shouted in a hoarse voice: "My lord! My lord! Something is wrong! Huren... Huren army has taken Shangdang!"

"Ah? What? Not good!" The staff and attendants were silent for a moment, and then exclaimed again and again.

Isn't the Hu people's army blocked by the two banks of Zhao and Qi? How can they have the strength to take Shangdang?The Shangdang has been lost, and Jinyang is in danger; there are only weak troops left in Jinyang City, can it be defended?In case Jinyang falls, the main force of the Jin army on the front line will become a fish swimming in the cauldron, what should we do next? … Countless questions burst out of their minds, each of which had no answer.Many people rushed to ask Guo Pan, and there was a sudden chaos.

Liu Kun frowned, then stood up slowly and coughed heavily.

Due to Jiwei, the governor of Bingzhou, the surroundings suddenly became quiet again.Liu Kun came to Guo Pan with his hands behind his back, and said calmly, "Why are you panicking? If you have something to say, speak slowly and clearly!"

Guo Pan kowtowed, gasped for a moment and said, "My lord, three days ago, General Long Jimeng of Hengye colluded with the Xiongnu and offered his party to the enemy. , suffered heavy losses. The Xiongnu Zuoxian King Liu He led tens of thousands of troops, broke through the key passes along the way, and went straight to Jinyang."

Liu Kun nodded slightly, but his expression did not change.After thinking for a while, he asked again, "Where is the barbarian now?"

"A few days ago, Wang Xiu was patrolling the area around Wu Township, and he had to report that the forwards of the Hu people had passed Xiangyuan. We encountered the enemy scouts, and we had to fight to the death. Judging by the speed of their advance, we will be approaching the city of Jinyang at this time."

"Hiss..." Even on the battlefield where thousands of troops are galloping, the voices of dozens of people gasping for air are still clearly audible.

Liu Kun took a step forward, waiting to ask in detail.That Guo Pan fell to the ground suddenly and fainted.Since he, Wang Xiu and others found out about the Xiongnu's movements a few days ago, they fought hard, and then they drove hundreds of miles without sleep to report the news.Barely holding on until now, I can't hold on any longer.

Everyone quickly called the medical officer to come to treat him.

Liu Kun didn't pay attention to these trivial matters, just paced back and forth in deep thought.

Xu Run suddenly came out, he saluted deeply, and said in a mournful voice: "My lord, Long Jimeng is recommended by his subordinates. This guy is very talented, but he never thought he was an ambitious thief! The subordinates misunderstood Jian Singer, the whole army is in danger... I know that my crime is unforgivable, and I only wish to die!" At this point, he suddenly drew out his sword, intending to cut himself.

How could the crowd react, seeing the blade and the flesh, several people rushed at the same time, covering Xu Run with all hands and feet.Fortunately, the blood vessels in the trachea were not injured, but a not shallow cut was made.The medical officer was taking Guo Pan's pulse, and when Xu Run committed suicide, he was in a hurry.

After a long while, after finally confirming that Xu Run was fine, Liu Kun waved his hand and asked someone to help him down: "This is not a crime of recommendation, Xu Zhonglang really blamed himself too much."

With his hands behind his back, he continued to pace back and forth, without saying anything for a long time.Everyone around waited with bated breath, and there was silence.

Although it was a critical moment for the military situation, some irrelevant things popped up in Liu Kun's mind: the whole army is in danger now.Although Xu Run was a counselor, it was a suggestion, but in the end it was his own negligence in employing people. Now Xu Run jumped out and charged him, which saved himself a lot of embarrassment.

"Xu Zhiquan is really very knowledgeable." He said secretly in his heart.

As for how to deal with the current situation... Liu Kun continued to think.

Many people watched Liu Kun's calm face, expecting him to solve all the difficulties as usual.However, Liu Kun knew very well that Liu Yuan's move was too ruthless, too risky, and too unexpected.After a while, Liu Kun had already planned out seventeen or eighteen coping strategies, but after careful consideration, none of them worked.This time, the Jinyang army was completely in a desperate situation, and he had nothing to do.

Unless...unless Jinyang can be defended.No, it is not enough to just hold onto Jinyang.Defending Jinyang is nothing more than prolonging the war into a war of attrition.The shallow bottom accumulated over the past few months cannot withstand consumption at all. It only takes a few rounds of tug-of-war, and there is no doubt that they will lose.

Therefore, it is necessary to defeat Zuo Xian Wang Liu He's troops decisively and neatly, so that the precarious Jinyang Army can fight for a chance of survival.But now, where did he get his troops?

It would be great if there were another 1 horses!Even, another 5000 people would be enough.If Jinyang can have [-] elite soldiers staying behind, it may not be impossible to reverse the situation.Thinking of this, Liu Kun couldn't help feeling resentful towards his predecessor.Mr. Dongying is really abominable. He fled in fear of the enemy, but he brought [-] soldiers and civilians from Bingzhou to Shandong together.If the [-] soldiers and civilians are still there, why are they here?

There were many thoughts in his chest, but Liu Kun's face showed no sense of tension. He walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, as if holding wisdom beads.Every move is exactly like brewing words before giving orders on weekdays.However, if you look closely, you will find that there is already a slight cold sweat on his forehead.

There is no way out, whether to advance or retreat, maybe the whole army can only continue to go south, fight the Huns heroically, and seek a worthy death?Liu Kun shook his head imperceptibly.The anxiety in his heart kept accumulating, only to hear a soft "click", and the Sajinyu Ruyi held in his right hand was subconsciously snapped off.

At this time, only to hear the noise from the rear of the camp again, another messenger came straight with his horse and whip.
