"Changing formations before battle is really asking for death!" Liu Xun couldn't help but sneer when he saw Wei Yan changing formations at this time. The changes in battle formations place extremely high demands on generals and soldiers. Ordinary generals would do it, even if the formations did not disperse.
But the power of the formation will also be greatly reduced.
He didn't have many troops to begin with, but now he dared to change his formation in the face of battle. Wei Yan was really a loser.
Seeing the opponent start to run around in a sloppy manner, Liu Xun felt even more disdainful and rushed even more fiercely. He chased these defeated soldiers and they were already far away without realizing it.
"Not good!" The expressions of the staff on the city wall changed slightly when they saw this scene.
"What do you mean by Ziyang's words? Isn't this a great victory for the general?" The county magistrate looked at his staff in confusion.
The staff member shook his head, pointed at the enemy army and said: "Look, Commander, the enemy army seems to be scattered, but it coincides with mathematics. The enemy general has not lost control of the army. On the other hand, the general, this charge has made him angry."
The opportunity to disperse, I think the general may have fallen into the bandit's plan in this battle."
"Don't be alarmist, Ziyang!" Jun Cheng frowned and looked at his staff.
The staff member shook his head and said no more. He just looked at the direction in which the enemy troops were leaving from a distance.
"If this is really the case, what should we do?" The county magistrate finally couldn't hold it back and pulled his staff to ask.
"Ming Jin withdraws the troops!" The young staff member laughed and said: "Take the troops and return to the city. No matter what tricks he has, it will be difficult to use them."
"This..." Jun Cheng fell silent, and another staff member beside him frowned and looked at the young staff member: "If Ziyang makes a mistake in judgment, wouldn't it mean that the general misses a good opportunity?"
The most important question is, now that Ming Jin has withdrawn his troops, who will bear the responsibility when Liu Xun comes back? Who will bear Liu Xun's anger? Even if what the young staff said is right, as long as it doesn't happen, there are many possibilities, and now everyone is working together
His point of view is that Liu Xun will win. So if Ming Jin withdraws his troops, Liu Xun will definitely not think that he will lose. What should he do?
The young staff member smiled and said calmly: "But if something happens, will you all be willing to join me in opening the city and surrendering?"
Once Liu Xun dies, who will guard Shu County? Who will guard Lujiang? If not, it would be easier to surrender earlier.
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other in confusion. They believed in the young staff's talents and abilities, but this seemingly simple problem was indeed a bit difficult.
After a long while, the Jun Cheng looked at the young staff, with a hint of flattery in his smile: "Zi Yang, is there a way to prevent the traitor army from succeeding and at the same time let the general know that this is a strategy?"
"Lead a group of troops to follow the weather, and when the general is trapped, suddenly rush out and rescue the general. However, this method is a bit risky. If the enemy's army is too strong, our supporting troops will not only be unable to rescue the general, but may also destroy ourselves.
I'm also involved in it." The young staff member brought the question back.
"Who can be saved?" Jun Cheng looked at the young staff.
The young staff member chuckled and shook his head slightly. It was okay to make suggestions, but it was impossible for him to take risks himself. If he actually went to the battlefield, he might not be as good as an ordinary general. The most he could do was help.
Seeing this, Jun Cheng could only look at the others, who lowered their heads silently. For a while, an awkward silence fell on the city wall.
You may not be defeated, and even if you are defeated, you may not die. Going out of the city may become a drag. Not only will you not save anyone, but you will be a drag on yourself...
Time passed little by little in everyone's chaotic thoughts. No one said troops or gold. They only occasionally looked at the battlefield in the distance, and then quickly looked back.
On the battlefield, Liu Xun chased Wei Yan all the way into the mountains and forests. He saw that the enemy was right in front of him, but no matter how fast he accelerated, he was always just a little behind. As time went by, Liu Xun gradually slowed down and he realized what he was doing.
The opponent is definitely not as embarrassed as he looks, and his control over the military formation is even greater than his own!?
This result is unacceptable, but Liu Xun, who has experienced many battles, still has some discernment, and he cannot fool himself.
The army stopped, and Wei Yan noticed it immediately. He immediately stopped his troops and horses, lined up and looked in the direction of Liu Xun and said: "Liu Xun, why don't you pursue me!?"
Liu Xun turned the horse's head without saying a word. At this time, he didn't want to say anything, and he was not in the mood to talk nonsense.
"Common man, where are we going!?" When Wei Yan saw this, he sneered. He was already here and still wanted to leave. Without saying a word, he changed his formation and rushed towards Liu Xun.
At this moment, Liu Xun discovered that the opponent's formation changes were extremely fast, and how smoothly he changed formations when facing the enemy. He cursed in his heart, but he did not dare to run away with the opponent on his back like this. After leaving one of his men behind, he immediately took the rest with him.
The troops retreated.
As for whether the remaining troops and horses could stop Wei Yan, Liu Xun had no hope. He only hoped that these troops could hold Wei Yan for a while and let him escape.
This Lu Bu is really an incompetent master. Such generals have no reputation. It really kills me!
The soldiers and horses who were left behind were still a little confused, so Liu Xun withdrew directly and separated them, which was regarded as a passive stay.
Before he could react to what had happened, he saw that Wei Yan had led his troops and horses to rush in. Those soldiers had lost their military formation, and where they could stop them, they were defeated in an instant.
On the other side, Liu Xun heard screams from behind. He was frightened and did not dare to look back. He just led his troops to rush back crazily. He was about to fight out of the forest. Suddenly, a row of flying arrows shot out from the forest in front, followed closely.
Pei Yuanshao rushed out from the mountains and forests with his men and horses. Although not as fierce as Wei Yan, he caught an unexpected opportunity and cut the enemy's army in an instant.
The morale of the Lujiang defenders was already low. Now that they saw the ambush coming out, their morale was even lower. Liu Xun's army formation almost collapsed.
Liu Xun secretly gritted his teeth and wanted to ambush Wei Yan, but who knew that he was ambushed by Wei Yan, a nobody in the end.
"Thief general, where are you going!" Pei Yuanshao was overjoyed when he saw that Liu Xun's army formation was on the verge of collapse. This was probably the first time he had defeated the enemy on the battlefield. When he saw Liu Xun's flag, he rushed towards Liu Xun without saying a word.
When Liu Xun saw this person's attire, he felt angry. Wei Yan, an unknown person, is still Chu Nan's vanguard general. How dare you stop me, even though you are not even a minor general?
Without saying a word, he took the knife and struck at Pei Yuanshao's body.
Pei Yuanshao was not afraid, he just came with his troops and fought with Liu Xun, but he was almost killed by Liu Xun with a sword. The army formation that was about to collapse was able to provide all its power to Liu Xun, and Pei Yuanshao was now barely able to
He could control the military formation, but he couldn't learn this step. Even if he had the military formation with him, he was almost killed by Liu Xun with a single sword.
Liu Xun failed to kill the enemy general with one strike, and was about to swing the sword and cut again to finish off this little character who didn't know whether to live or die. However, he heard the sound of horse hoofbeats from behind. When he turned around to look, it was Wei Yan who had broken through the soldiers who had broken off the rear and was heading towards this
Rushing over.
"Boom~"
The knife in his hand fell down and slashed at Pei Yuanshao. Even if he wanted to leave, he wouldn't miss it at this moment.
Although Pei Yuanshao stretched his hips, Liu Xun was not a peerless warrior. In addition, Pei Yuanshao had practiced hard during this period and his skills had improved a lot. When he saw Liu Xun slashing at him with a knife, without saying a word, he turned over to avoid the opponent's blade, got up and swung the knife back.
.
Liu Xun did not expect that the ant would still have the strength to resist, so he blocked the opponent with his backhand. Seeing that Wei Yan had already killed him, he did not dare to tangle with Pei Yuanshao anymore, so he turned his horse and ran away.
Pei Yuanshao wanted to catch up with Liu Xun, but Liu Xun rushed left and right, and his military formation soon became unable to stop him. Although he blocked a group of thieves, Liu Xun was still able to break out and head towards Shu County.
And go.
Wei Yan chased after him and looked a little helpless at this scene. Pei Yuanshao was considered good among a group of lieutenants, but he was still far behind. It was inconvenient to blame him here. After ordering the generals to retreat, he immediately led his men and horses straight away.
Chase Liu Xun away.
The two sides pursued him one after the other to the foot of Shuxian City and the head of Shuxian City. When the Jun Cheng and others were still debating whether to rescue and who to send to rescue, an aide quickly called Liu Xun after seeing Liu Xun who had fled back in embarrassment.
Said: "Look, it's the general!"
Everyone looked up and saw Liu Xun running away with his remaining defeated soldiers. Behind him, Wei Yan led his soldiers and horses in a mad pursuit, shooting out waves of arrows from time to time, taking away more than a dozen lives.
"Quickly, open the city!" the county magistrate said in a deep voice.
"No!" The young staff member compared the distance between the two sides and said: "If the city is opened at this time, the enemy troops will take advantage of the situation and rush into the city. Shu County will definitely fall by then!"
"Then you can't just ignore it, right!?" Jun Cheng frowned.
"Let the general run around the city, and order the soldiers at the top of the city to shoot arrows at the enemy so that the enemy does not dare to approach. After he has withdrawn, then open the city to welcome the general into the city!" said the young aide.
"Will the general blame him?" The county magistrate was a little worried.
The young staff member ignored him. Liu Xun had already arrived at the city gate and shouted to open the city gate. Wei Yan over there was obviously intending to ask Liu Xun to open the city gate and then he would rush in, so he slowed down his pace.
"Please general, please go around the city. I will cover the general with arrows. After the enemy troops retreat, the general will enter the city gate again!" The young staff commanded the archers to guard the enemy troops, and at the same time asked Liu Xun to go around the city.
Liu Xun was furious, but Wei Yan was right behind him, so he had no time to talk nonsense and ran from the east gate to the south gate.
Seeing this, Wei Yan also led his troops and ran towards the south gate. When Liu Xun arrived at the south gate, he saw that the south gate was closed, so he could only go to the west gate. Wei Yan also followed him to the west gate, and then went from the west gate to the north gate, and then from the west gate to the north gate.
Go around the north gate to the east gate.
The two sides walked around Shu County for several times like a hide-and-seek. Wei Yan tried to get closer several times, but was shot back by arrows and crossbows from the city. Finally, seeing the sky gradually dimming, Wei Yan knew that he wanted to take this opportunity to seize the city in one fell swoop.
It was unrealistic. After firing a hail of arrows at Liu Xun, he laughed and said: "Liu Xun, how shameless do you have to be called a famous general!?"
Liu Xun's face turned dark when he heard this, but he didn't dare to speak. Wei Yan had almost killed him twice today. Although the other party was a nobody, he was really powerful. Liu Xun didn't dare to provoke him until the other party completely disappeared from sight.
, Liu Xuncai looked at the city head with an angry look on his face: "The rebel army has gone, why don't you open the city gate for me!?"
