In an instant, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court were defeated and retreated, from the beginning of the formation, to the current comprehensive rout of less than two pillars of incense, but there were thousands of dead and wounded. Xu Yang didn't dare to be cautious anymore, for fear of missing this good opportunity, so he immediately ordered the whole army to pursue, and he chased the poor with Yu Yong.

The soldiers and horses of the imperial court can't fight, but they are good at escaping, and the speed of their escape is beyond the reach of the Lu cavalry. So the battle used a stick of incense, but the pursuit took an hour, and after chasing out an hour, Xu Yang ordered to stop the march, because the troops of several parties had been stretched too long, and the vanguard cavalry troops had already lost their traces, and now the order may not be transmitted when.

The terrain ahead is unknown, the plains disappear, and the mountains and ravines are crisscrossed, not only the cavalry cannot play an effective role, but even those firearms are also inconvenient to fight. Not to mention that the heavy barrel is not good for firing upward, that is, if the light and fast gun is fired upward, it is easy to make the iron sand and iron pellets deviate from the trajectory, and the residue of gunpowder is more likely to fall into the eyes of the soldiers, and the smoke rising after the gunpowder is fired is more likely to envelop the soldier's vision and fall into a short-term "blind state". On the battlefield, the fleeting changes are fleeting, and this temporary blindness can kill you.

At this time, he was already in too deep danger, Xu Yang felt that something was not right, and hurriedly ordered a retreat. But at this time, it was already too late, and the rolling down of the mountains and boulders instantly cut the Lu Jiajun into sections, and the follow-up troops could not rush up at all because of the narrow area. Fortunately, the Lu Jiajun was well-trained, and quickly and spontaneously formed a small shield array to defend.

Many imperial soldiers and horses have sprung up on the mountain, and they have had enough of it. For such a long time, Qi Jingtong always used stupid tricks to puzzle them, but at this moment, it is clear that every qiē is for today. In order to invite you into the urn, let the traitors of the Lu family enter the grave that had been dug a long time ago.

The mourners were victorious, their fury unleashing with the bows and crossbows and firebolts of the thrown weight. Because of those reasons that were not conducive to upward shooting, the Lu Jiajun was powerless to resist, and suddenly the Lu Jiajun showed a rout for the first time, and was beaten in an instant. The Chang Shengjun was suddenly defeated, and this kind of great joy and sorrow changed too quickly, which instantly made many people confused. Some soldiers wanted to climb up and fight to the death. But they found that sticky and slippery things were poured on the mountain, and some people shouted for fire oil, but where could the soldiers flee at this moment.

Torches were thrown, and flames erupted. Immediately, the screams were overwhelming. Xu Yang held the sword in his hand and refused to leave, and the generals begged the last life to take Xu Yang away, and only rushed out after a fight. Although Xu Yang is the head coach, he is also a wolf. His beard and eyebrows were burned all over his body. This time, it was the turn of the imperial court soldiers and horses to chase and kill. But Qi Jingtong knows very well the truth of the poor Kou Mo chasing, and he also knows that the vitality of the Lu family army is not injured, and the hundred-legged insect is not stiff, once it withdraws from this unfavorable area for the enemy, even if there is no one to command, the Lu family army will form a defensive formation according to the drill. With Qi Jingtong's current strength, not only will he not be able to move, but he will also be defeated.

As a result, Qi Jingtong gave up the attack, and the Lu family army slowly withdrew from this place. Stationed in an open area fifty miles away for recuperation.

—————————————————————————————————————

Xu Yang returned to the big tent and ordered to count the casualties, strengthen the guard, and other things, and then said nothing, and about half an hour passed. For the first time, a military newspaper came in, claiming that the imperial army had disappeared into the mountains and would never come out again. In the big tent, the generals who were also unbearable began to discuss what to do, and some said that they would attack again, because the imperial court's transportation capacity was limited, and the fire oil and wood and other things that were attacked just now must have been exhausted, so the attacking party at this time must be powerless to refute. But some people say that this is too risky, in case the other party is on guard, wouldn't it be better to besiege them and make plans when they are exhausted. Wealth and danger are sought, the siege is insufficient, in short, the two major ideas have their own opinions, the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable.

Xu Yang still didn't say a word, and everyone looked at Xu Yang and was speechless for a while, so they could only sigh again and again. Xu Yang is too smooth, since he entered the Lu family, he has been smooth sailing, and now he has become the core figure in the Lu family's power circle, and he has never been defeated, today's blow is not small for him, but it is even worse than ordinary people.

The military newspaper entered again, claiming that more than 15,000 people had been lost, and that some of them might have been captured and their fate unknown. After hearing this, Xu Yang suddenly got up, shouted "sad" and then didn't come up in one breath, suddenly grabbed and then blood spurted out of his mouth, Xu Yang fell to the ground with a bang, and the generals were shocked.

At this time, Qi Jingtong was sitting in the tent looking at the map to decide the next plan, he was in a good mood today, according to intelligence, at least 10,000 to 20,000 horses of the enemy were lost today. Although the soldiers and horses of the imperial court suffered heavy losses at the beginning of the attack on Shandong, and Qi Jingtong also lost more than 10,000 people in the previous strategy of luring the enemy, of course Qi Jingtong knew what kind of goods he had under his command, and he could exchange it for one to one, and it was really not a loss, even if he used five to one, the imperial court would be considered a victory.

At the same time, in such a large-scale battle, it is rare for him to rely on tactics to win by strategy, not by the tactics of a large number of soldiers, but by strategy, and he will definitely be able to go down in history as a result of this war, regardless of whether he is victorious or not.

Maybe this war is not as simple as it sounds, because Qi Jing informed that in history, no matter how much this battle is described, it is only more than a thousand words, but he has used six defeats and the lives of more than 10,000 people in exchange for this plan. This may be a war, a war achieved with a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, Qi Jingtong expressed shock at his ruthlessness, and also understood what the true meaning of "one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither".

After Xu Yang's defeat, he contracted the battle and held on to Taiyuan City, and in the previous ambush, although the casualties were heavy, they were still within acceptable limits. But a large number of materials, especially some highly offensive long-range weapons and weapons of mass destruction, were damaged, and some were seized by Qi Jingtong's department, for the Qi Jingtong department on the imperial court, although the operation of these weapons may still be a little rusty, but it is not too unfamiliar, at least the main general Qi Jingtong will use most of them, after all, he was the guest of the Lu family. Although it could not bring the imperial soldiers back to life, it was still very powerful.

The situation is a bit strict on Lu Jiajun's side. In recent years, Lu Jiajun's acting training and combat have mostly been the cooperation between various arms of the army, such as how to clear and replenish the knife after being covered by long-range artillery fire, as well as the transformation of the large-scale iron cable formation with the corresponding formation of the horse team and advanced weapons. Now a large amount of materials have been lost, and Lu Jiajun has suffered huge losses. In an instant, he returned to a relatively backward state, which made Xu Yang's next arrangement a little uncomfortable, and the enemy's increased firepower also gave them a lot of pressure. So Xu Yang urged the Shandong side to step up the replenishment and manufacture of new weapons, and stubbornly held Taiyuan City to block the imperial court's soldiers and horses, and the two sides fought a tug-of-war.

On the Nanjing side, the slow advance of Yu Dayou's troops and the Zhao rebels were advancing layer by layer, intending to surround Ying Tianfu and then slowly consume Lu Yi. It was the day before the long discussion was about to start. Suddenly, Yu Dayou led the army to retreat, and went straight to Shandong day and night. Shandong's main force was taken out by Xu Yang to attack the main force of the imperial court, and now only a few men and horses are left for defense. It was peaceful to catch the fortifications on the boundary of Shandong, but Yu Dayou's retreat attack made Shandong anxious, and the entire Qilu land was quite full of mountains and rains.

At the same time, the capital of Shuntianfu also issued a shocking order. The soldiers and horses guarding the capital all drove out and went straight to Shandong. It seems that the imperial court is preparing to wait for this great opportunity when the Lu family's soldiers and horses are outside, and in one fell swoop to exterminate the Lu family's old nest in Shandong, so that it will lose its foundation. And Zhu Houxi's choice also put himself in danger, which can be described as a death and a later life.

The traitors of the Zhao family did not react for a while, and when they saw that Yu Dayou's troops of the imperial court stopped for a while after evacuating, they had no intention of taking their own territory, so they did not move and did not make a statement for the time being.

Lu Yi, who was waiting for the attack in Nanjing, saw Yu Dayou withdraw for a while, and he didn't know why. Soon learned the news that Yu Dayou was marching in the direction of Shandong, and immediately shouted that something was wrong. I learned that it was a plan to fight the west. But now the soldiers and horses of the Zhao family outside the city are entrenched outside the Purple Mountain, and once Lu Yi leads the army out of the city to fight against it, he will lose the advantage of defense, and the previous series of efforts have been in vain. If you abandon it, it will be useless to take a detour to Shandong to rescue the people who are in an emergency, after all, the soldiers and horses under your command are not as strong as the strength and equipment elves of hundreds of elite soldiers, and you have to rely on the advantage of numbers. But once the nest is poured out, the entire south and even Nanjing City will not be able to hold it, and it will inevitably be eaten by the Zhao family. Both ends failed, and in the end they could only end in a miserable defeat. But if it is left unattended, his hometown Shandong is likely to fall under the elite of the two sides, and the foundation of the Lu family will be lost at that time.

For a while, Lu Yi fell into painful thoughts.

—————————————————————————————————————

In the end, Lu Yi made a choice, he chose to believe his father, his father must have thought it through, and he just needs to do his own thing. Lu Yi sent a team of people, led by Cui Ling, out of the city to negotiate. For Cui Ling, Lu Yi is 100% assured, even if the other party humiliates the Lu family, he can't kill Cui Ling, and he doesn't dare to say that he is like the sword king Cui Ying and the Shaolin Wendou monk who killed thousands of troops and horses, but Cui Ling's kung fu self-protection is still not a big problem, and the place of negotiation is not far from Nanjing City, and if there is a slight mistake, it can be rescued by waving an army.

Cui Ling took three hundred knights to the Zhao family's camp five miles away, and the spies found out that there were people in Nanjing, and they also saw that they should be out of the city to negotiate peace with the white flag, so they did not treat it with tension, but also sent a team of people to greet them outside.

Cui Ling urged the horse to come to the pair of Zhao Jiajun and shouted: "I am the messenger of the Lu family, why are you blocking the way?" ”

"Well, is there no one in the Lu family to bully me and the Zhao family is orthodox? You are the descendants of the collateral lineage, why don't you kneel when you see the orthodoxy of the Zhao family? It was a young general who came, with a golden armor and golden helmet holding a spear and shouted: "This doll, the Lu family is so frightened that they dare not be the enemy of my Zhao family, so they sent a doll out to negotiate peace, haha, it's ridiculous to death." ”

"You are a doll, master, let me ask you, are you from the Zhao family?" Cui Ling asked.

"Exactly, I am the first of the Zhao family" Before the young general finished speaking, he was interrupted by Cui Ling: "It's really troublesome, if you are insignificant, I will kill you, it is really troublesome to be related to the family, Lu Yi said that peace is the main thing, and you can't kill the descendants of the Zhao family, then then I will arrest you." ”

After saying that, Cui Ling's figure disappeared on the horse's back in front of everyone's eyes, and before the young general could exclaim, he saw that the horse under his seat was shocked, and the horse was cut into two in an instant, and then the person had been blocked by Cui Ling with a sword, Cui Ling said to the enemy soldiers who had already looked stupid: "Don't you get out of the way quickly, don't you have to force your grandfather to kill people?" ”

Everyone was afraid of the hostages in Cui Ling's hands, so they could only watch Cui Ling and his three hundred knights walk towards the camp with high spirits, and the cavalry of the Zhao family went back to report first.

In the camp of the Zhao family, all the generals were shocked, the one who went out of the city just now was called Zhao Jie, who was a famous young general of the Zhao family, and he played a good marksmanship, why was he captured in the blink of an eye, it seems that the Lu family really hid the dragon and crouching tiger, this dismount was not done, but was divided into an army by others, and the taste is really uncomfortable.
