The situation is more dangerous than imagined.

Looking at the bloodstained scouts who returned one by one, Liu Yuan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Not only was there an enemy interception in front, but there were also traces of the enemy on the left and right, and between him and Qin Kuan, a large-scale cavalry force actually appeared.

Of the scouts who went in this direction, five went out, and only two came back.

Moreover, this cavalry unit was originally supposed to be stationed in Yiyang's Lu Yuansuo Division, but now it actually appeared here.

His contact with Qin Kuan and Ren Xiaonian's department was basically cut off.

In other words, the three Don armies had already been divided by the enemy.

After pondering for a long time, Liu Yuan decided to make himself a lone army.

There is no doubt that when you completely break away from the echo of your allies and become a prominent part, the enemy will pounce and bite like a cat that smells fishy, which is extremely dangerous for your own troops.

But Liu Yuan also believes that whether it is Ren Xiaonian or Qin Kuan, they should be able to understand what they want to do, and they should not waste the opportunities they have created for them.

Now that Qin Kuan, Liu Yuan, and Ren Xiaonian's three armies are each much thinner, Liu Yuan hopes that after he has attracted most of the enemies to come to encircle and suppress, Ren Xiaonian can quickly advance and strive to merge with Qin Kuan, so that their strength will be fundamentally increased, thereby increasing the possibility of survival.

General Li will definitely come to the rescue, and the imperial court will not sit idly by, there must still be some means. And if you want to wait until this, you must first hold on for a longer time, because no matter where General Li Da is or where the imperial court is, it will take time to get the news, to react, and finally to take action.

The impromptu meetings were a bit heavy.

All the generals knew that Liu Yuan's decision was tantamount to a journey to the death, and once he moved forward, there was no turning back. If they take a conservative strategy and choose a dangerous place to hold on, they may be able to wait for a turnaround. After all, they were the first to get the news.

Liu Yuan's sharp eyes swept over every officer present.

It was an enlarged meeting, and everyone at the rank of sentry commander and above was present.

"Everyone sitting here is a member of Yixing Club. I don't think anyone will forget the words on the cover of the program of the Yixing Society. Liu Yuan's tone was very light, but very resolute. Now, it's time for us to put it into practice. ”

In the middle of the venue, the atmosphere was particularly heavy.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we were the first to get the news, and we have already made some corresponding preparations, it is conceivable that whether it is General Ren's department or General Qin's department, I am afraid that we have just received the news now. By the time they reacted, the enemy's partition and encirclement was fully completed, and by that time it would be too late to say anything. And now, there are gaps to drill between enemies, and holes to find. This is our chance. ”

"Once we can find an opportunity, then we will inevitably attract the surrounding enemies to surround us, and if we attract a large number of enemies, whether it is General Qin or General Ren, we will have time to make adjustments."

"It's a journey to death, but if we die and live, maybe we can fight our way out."

Liu Yuan stood up and took a deep breath: "Of course, the hardships and dangers here can be known regardless of the questions. Although I am the commander of this army, when there is such a choice, I am willing to let everyone choose our next action, and those who agree with my plan will stand up. If you don't agree, sit still. ”

After a moment of silence, a man stood up. Then, one by one, they all stood up.

Seeing that there was no one sitting in front of him, Liu Yuan smiled with relief.

"Okay, worthy of being a Datang soldier, worthy of being my Liu Yuan's brother! Now, brothers, get ready to fight, go straight ahead, and face the battle with the enemy! The soldiers of Datang are the bravest, and the soldiers of Datang are also the strongest, and we are the bravest among them. ”

Hunan general Wei Dongsheng really didn't expect things to be like this.

He's a veteran, too.

Ask yourself, if you encounter such a situation, you will definitely choose a dangerous place to wait for help, no matter whether you can finally get out of trouble, at least, you can still have a good hope.

Now in front of the Northern Tang Dynasty army Liu Yuan's department, a total of 3,000 people. And it has been trapped in several sides of the encirclement, in front of him, is led by up to tens of thousands of foot soldiers, on his left and right, is the cavalry is interspersed and divided, it is no exaggeration to say, the other side has fallen into a desperate situation, even if the enemy in front of him is weak and vulnerable, but what can he do if he defeats the enemy in front? Further ahead, there were more troops waiting for him, and the cold, tall, and strong Xiangxiang city wall was waiting for him.

Wei Dongsheng believes that the morale of the soldiers of the Northern Tang army must have fallen to the bottom.

This is his conventional perception.

No matter who you are, it's normal to have such a reaction after being in a desperate situation.

But the scene that happened in front of me was not like this.

At dawn, the Tang army suddenly appeared in front of his camp and launched a frantic attack on his camp like a mad tiger.

His former battalion was routed almost as soon as it came into contact with the other side.

Seeing that the other party was directly attacking his own Chinese army camp, and his own camp was still in chaos, Wei Dongsheng made a quick decision and ordered a subordinate general to gather the remnants of the army on the spot to resist, while he led the main force of the formation to retreat to the rear camp.

The rear battalion should have built the most basic defensive measures at this time, and if its main force is injected into it, it can intercept the opponent in the large camp. As long as this is done, then he will be able to entangle with the enemy with his numerical superiority, and the battle that takes place here will soon be transmitted to the cavalry on the left and right flanks, and when the cavalry arrives, it will be the time of Liu Yuan's destruction.

There was no problem with Wei Dongsheng's reaction and command.

The only problem was that he had miscalculated the combat effectiveness and will to fight of the team in front of him.

He had just retreated into the rear camp, and before he had time to carry out the necessary military deployment and troop allocation, the Tang army had already chased after him by the tail and killed him.

The remnants of the soldiers he left behind who delayed time did not buy him any time at all.

Liu Yuanchong was at the forefront of the troops.

Covered in blood, he waved his horizontal knife with both hands, straight forward, and did not look at the opposing soldiers running on the left and right, as long as he did not run in front of him, he was not willing to spend even a little bit of strength to slash a knife.

There were horses, antlers and other chaotic obstacles in front of them, and behind these things, there was the Hunan army that was hurriedly arrayed, under a large banner of Wei characters, rows of archers were bending their bows and arrows, and Liu Yuan even saw a strong crossbow being twisted by the soldiers, with arrows.

Liu Yuan roared and ran forward.

Jump.

He rose to his feet.

He heard the humming of countless arrows as they fired.

Regimental body.

The whole person curled up into a ball like a leather ball, and Liu Yuan fell heavily.

Feathered arrows flew above his head, and the armor on his body clanged to the ear.

I don't know if I was hit by an arrow, and I don't know if I was injured.

At this time, Liu Yuan didn't feel any pain at all.

The moment he hit the ground, his horizontal knife was already deployed.

Swept! From left to right.

Swept! From right to left.

The weapons tailored for the generals by the Datang Ordnance Supervisor reflected the powerful energy they should have at this moment.

Wherever the horizontal knife passed, blood splattered and screamed.

"Grenade!" Liu Yuan hissed and roared.

The two soldiers who followed closely behind him took out their grenades, lit the torch burning on the ground, lit the fuse, and after counting one, two, three, they threw them at the Hunan troops who seemed to have formed a queue not far away.

In the roaring explosion, the army, which had just had some appearances, was blown up in a mess again.

Wei Dongsheng was pushed by the explosion and almost fell off his horse.

He barely sat down on the horse, but in horror it happened, and out of the smoke came a guy holding a horizontal knife several sizes larger in both hands, covered in blood, and at this time he was grinning wide, showing his white teeth, and rushed towards him with a cruel smile.

At this moment, I don't know if it was a ghost or a lost mind, Wei Dongsheng actually subconsciously turned his horse, turned around and ran.

The Lord will run and move the flag back, and what it means on the battlefield could not be clearer.

The rear battalion, which already had some appearance, collapsed again in this short moment, and they began to retreat back with the flag.

If Liu Yuan wanted to expand the results of the battle at this time and wanted to kill and injure more Hunan soldiers, he would have a chance, because at this time, the other party had completely lost effective resistance.

It's a pity that Liu Yuan doesn't have time.

He knew very well that the other party's cavalry was only afraid that they would not be able to leave if they were on the way to the road now, and if they delayed a little.

"Don't fight, grab all the mules and horses that can travel, let's go!" Liu Yuan grabbed a war horse that had lost its owner, turned over and rode up, and roared loudly.

One of his own soldiers who followed him took off his trumpet from his waist and blew it with a tick.

Liu Yuan hit the horses without hesitation and continued to run forward.

Soon, the enemy also learned to be obedient, as long as they ran to both sides, the Tang army would not chase, only those who were dizzy and did not argue left and right would block the way of the Tang army's advance and become the ghosts of the Tang army's sword.

Before and after, in less than an hour, Liu Yuan actually killed a bloody way from the 10,000 Hunan foot soldiers in front of him and walked away.

Did the Hunan army suffer a lot of injuries?

Not necessarily.

According to post-war statistics, Wei Dongsheng's face was iron-clad, and the casualties of the Communist Party were only a thousand, but a large army collapsed in that period of time.
