Chapter 173: Temporarily Retreat from the Enemy Army

On Liu Yao's side, Zhendong General Hu Yanmo's slightly whiskers fluttered sharply in the wind. Hu Yanmo is an old general, at the age of fifteen, he followed the founding monarch Liu Yuan, and rose up to fight in the world, with countless great and small contributions. When the Xiongnu Han State was established, Liu Yuan was repeatedly rewarded because Hu Yanmo was a loyal, brave and reliable person. Later, Hu Yanmo and Liu Yao got to know each other, and they became more and more compatible, so they turned to serve under Liu Yao. In fact, according to his age and qualifications, he can be regarded as a highly respected senior, Liu Yao does not regard Hu Yanmo as a simple subordinate, but has some mentorship and friendship.

Hu Yanmo's eyes were like shuttles, staring at the battlefield in silence for a moment, then turned sideways, and said in a deep voice: "King, the front army has been defeated like a tide, and it is less than twenty zhang with our Chinese army. If we don't take measures to stop it, if those defeated soldiers rush over and disrupt the position, I am afraid that the situation will become more and more unbearable. ”

Liu Yao joined the army since he was a child, and he didn't know the severity of the situation on the battlefield. But he was angry and impatient in his heart at the moment, and he couldn't calm down for a while, and he was still fighting in his mind quickly, whether he took the opportunity to take measures for self-protection and stability, or didn't listen to the advice and was desperate, and invested all his troops to kill Gao Yue, so as to show the evil anger in his heart.

"King, the morale is gone, it is difficult to fight back now, according to the will of the old minister, it is better to retreat thirty miles for the time being, rectify the military situation and then reason."

Hu Yanmo saw that Liu Yao was silent, and knew that he still couldn't think about it, so he admonished again: "King, for the generals not to raise troops because of anger, the situation is now unfavorable to me, and we should preserve our vitality, and we should find an opportunity to fight again." ”

As he spoke, a stray arrow had already shot in front of the Chinese army. Hu Yanmo stretched out his long arm, steadily grasped a flying arrow in the air, and said a little hurriedly: "Please make a decision quickly!" ”

When people are angry, they cannot make calm judgments. Liu Yao sighed silently and sulked. He knew that the suggestion to withdraw from the army for the time being was very correct, and it was indeed the only choice at the moment. Liu Yao suppressed his tumbling heart, glanced at Hu Yanmo, and then said coldly to his own soldiers: "Order, leave the two armies on the right flank to intercept the rout, and kill all the former." The rest of the officers and men of the whole army withdrew thirty miles with the queen and waited for the battle. ”

"No, the enemy's momentum has risen, and our front army has been defeated, and this is the time not to be taken lightly." Hu Yanmo's face was solemn, and he turned his head and admonished: "Please retreat first, the old minister is willing to cut off the queen in person, and he can be safe." ”

Huyanmo is an experienced veteran general, and he has the ability to deal with all sudden unfavorable factors after he asks for a break, which is really good for covering the safe retreat of the main force and preserving the vital forces to the greatest extent.

At the critical moment, it is still necessary to rely on such an old and strong cadre. Liu Yao didn't say a word, but just cast an extremely trustworthy and grateful look at Hu Yanmo. With Liu Yao's military order, the main force of the Xiongnu army turned around and retreated in an orderly manner. Liu Yin rode on the tall horse, and left with Liu Yao silently, but he turned his head frequently, staring at the brave figure on the red war horse in the distance with complicated eyes.

With the withdrawal of the main army of the Xiongnu, the victory or defeat has been decided. The remaining stragglers desperately tried to catch up, but they were ruthlessly stopped and killed by the two armies on the right flank led by Huyan Mo himself, with a large array of spears and strong bows and crossbows. Many soldiers who managed to escape under the sabers and guns in Longxi were intercepted and killed by their own families. The rest were intercepted in front of them, and there were chasing soldiers in the back, screaming and scolding in despair, so they simply crawled on the ground and asked the Longxi army to surrender.

With the momentum of thunder, Gao Yue defeated the enemy army several times his own and won the battle. He wanted to take advantage of the situation to chase and kill, but the two armies on the right wing of the Xiongnu had already prepared and blocked the attack with strong bows and crossbows, and dozens of his subordinates were shot and killed. The Longxi army deliberately drove away the defeated soldiers several times, taking advantage of the situation to roar and charge, intending to defeat the enemy formation again, but Huyanmo was well defended, not attacking, not retreating, and not acting recklessly, just like a rock, not moving and blocking there.

"That's it. Don't chase after the poor, take it when you see it, where the Huns can be completely defeated in a battle. ”

Gao Yue turned his horse's head, beckoned General Lei, and led the Longxi army to retreat in the direction of Chang'an City, and at the same time began to clean up the receiving battlefield and count the prisoners. Jianwei General Fan Sheng saw that the Longxi Army had stopped its offensive, and his own troops had attacked the enemy position several times to no avail, so he also turned around and slowly moved closer to the side of the Longxi Army.

On the other side, seeing that the Jin army had no intention of expanding the results of the battle, the two armies on the right wing of the Huyanmo Huns also stopped shooting, and the heavily guarded began to retreat slowly backwards, and after a while, all the Hun troops disappeared from sight, leaving only the bloody corpses everywhere.

Under the city of Chang'an after the war, Gao Yue's Longxi Army seemed to be the protagonist. This time, with the momentum of swiftness and unparalleled fierceness, with the momentum of not fearing death, and with the momentum of overcoming difficulties and encountering strength, the 3,000 Longxi army actually defeated tens of thousands of enemy soldiers in one go, and forced Liu Yao to lead the army to retreat. This strong contrast and result made the Hun soldiers who abandoned their weapons and surrendered all bent their knees to the ground, trembling and not daring to look up.

There were nearly 8,000 troops surrendered this time. In terms of numbers, it is several times that of the Longxi Army. However, the supreme combat power shown by the Longxi military, as well as the god-like martial arts of the commander Gao Yueqiang, made these soldiers prostrate, not to mention the idea of resisting and escaping, even if they didn't dare to move.

The wind, sighing and blowing. Looking at it from afar, it has long been impossible to distinguish the original face of the earth, but in any case, the original desolate desert color is better than the current large area of dark red, which makes people shocked. Blood could not be coagulated, the haze over the battlefield could not be dispersed, and the occasional broken branch hung with long-unrecognizable limb parts. The sounds of fighting, shouting, and howling that filled the place not long ago disappeared, and the abrupt end of countless fresh lives made the gradual silence at this time seem extremely emotional, and everything disappeared.

"Dare to ask the other side, but is it General Gao?"

From afar, Fan Sheng was full of energy and greeted loudly. This time, relying on the fierce military might of the Longxi Army, Fan Sheng was finally able to take the initiative to go out of the city to kill for a while after being depressed and anxious for many days, and won a lot. Therefore, although he had never met Gao Yue, he was really full of deep gratitude to Gao Yue at this moment.

"It's Gao. Dare to ask who this general is? ”

Gao Yue was surrendered, and he commanded the crowd to escort and count a large number of surrendered soldiers. As the saying goes, surrender is like being attacked by the enemy, although he has won so far, but the vigilant habits he has developed over the years, Gao Yue still does not dare to take it lightly and relaxes. Hearing the call now, Gao Yue turned around on his horse and responded with his hand. In the middle of the battle, he also noticed that a Biao army was coming out of the city, and although he always cooperated with him on the flank, he also made some noise. This time, the commander of this friendly army will take the initiative to come to greet him, and it is just a good time to make friends.

"A certain is General Fan Sheng. General Gao descended from the sky, repelled the enemy army and beheaded the enemy general, this courage really made Fan admire. "Fan Sheng is also a typical martial artist, there is no crooked intestines, he already had a very good initial impression of Gao Yue's resolute coming to help, and at this moment, seeing Gao Yue's image is tall and mighty, he has a good impression.

As soon as he talked, Gao Yue felt that Fan Sheng was a broad and straightforward person, and he couldn't help but feel good. Martial artists are rough, but most of them are straight, love and hate are clear, like is like, don't detour about any detours, and it is more enjoyable to deal with them.

"Come on, come on, why don't you come over quickly and meet General Gao."

Fan Sheng turned around and waved to his subordinates again and again. Hula over there immediately rushed over, and they all gave Gao Yue a salute. Not to mention anything else, Gao Yue rushed into battle with a spear and even killed the enemy generals, and the soldiers in Longxi were as strong as outlaws, so that these soldiers who had been fighting all year round were deeply impressed, both respectful and awe-inspiring.

"General Gao, this time Liu Yao personally led a large army to attack, and he is about to succeed, the imperial court has already held the determination of burning jade, and the sky has no eyes. No one expected that General Gao would kill halfway and save the court with his own strength, so from this point of view, it is still the emperor's blessing after all, and the country should not be extinguished. The general's contribution to saving the country will surely be remembered by everyone in the world. ”

Gao Yue just humbly said two words, Fan Sheng had already stepped forward, stretched out his hand and grabbed Gao Yue's horse reins, and said loudly: "General Gao, let's talk later, Your Majesty is afraid to wait inside, now please follow Fan into the city and meet the holy driver." ”
