Wei Ba's defensive counterattack battle soon lost its effect, Lu Xun was unmoved, steady and steady, each time after capturing a position, he was not in a hurry to pursue, but adhered to the existing achievements, stabilized the front, and then replaced those soldiers who had successfully broken through to the battlefield, commended them, and notified the whole battalion as heroes. Then send the baggage battalion to fill in the trenches, clear the obstacles, organize the position, push the thunderbolt and other ordnance to the front line for cover, and then send the assault team to break the formation. A large number of vans were sent out to form a mobile fortress and advance step by step.

In doing so, he not only reduced the casualties of the attacking soldiers, ensured their safety to the greatest extent, but also effectively improved their morale.

Lu Xun has been breaking through the four positions of Wei Ba, paying 3,000 casualties, and the morale of the Wu army has not fallen, but has become more and more high-spirited as the position deepens. Although in the next battle, the assault soldiers had to face the attacks of the Shu Han army on three sides, but the more they fought, the more courageous they became.

After five or six days of bloody fighting, Wei Ba killed more than 6,000 Wu troops in total, and he also paid more than 3,000 casualties, accounting for more than one-sixth of his current forces. With all his methods combined, there has not yet been a major fluctuation in morale. However, the situation is not optimistic, Lu Xun's tenacity far exceeded his imagination, and 6,000 people died in battle, which did not seem to affect Lu Xun's determination at all. He continued to move slowly but resolutely like a giant tortoise.

What made Wei Ba even more embarrassed was that if he gave up the four positions, the mountain range where his command platform was located would protrude from the side of the formation to the front of the formation, and if he let it go again, he would not be able to effectively command the battle, and he might be divided and surrounded by Lu Xun and become a lone army.

If you can't let it go any longer, you can only defend it and fight with Lu Xun to consume. However, this is a situation that he is very unwilling to see.

Lu Xun doesn't use any tricks. It's on your own. Simply and directly defused his defense, and pushed him into a desperate situation step by step.

As the sun set, when another night came, Wei Ba stood on top of the mountain. Smelling the cold wind full of blood and stench. The brow tightens.

Xiahou Xuan was also a little silent. Although he was born as a general. He had also experienced war, but this was the first time he had witnessed such a tragic battle up close. Within days, nearly 10,000 people died on both sides. The stench of corpses wafted through the valley. Every day when I open my eyes, I see blood, I hear screams, and at every evening meeting, some familiar faces will never appear again, and the living people are becoming more and more silent every day.

"Ziyu, you can't fight like this anymore." Xiahou Xuan walked to Wei Ba's side and said softly: "Either withdraw to Guishan, or replenish the reserve forces, and continue to fight like this, no one knows when something will happen." ”

"I know." Wei Ba nodded quietly, his voice was a little hoarse, he insisted on standing here and directing the battle for the past few days, he suffered a little cold, and he had a low-grade fever. He clenched his fist, put it in front of his mouth, coughed lightly, and then waved his hand vigorously, as if he was giving an impassioned speech again. "But at this time, I believe that Lu Xun will not be able to hold on, and whoever withdraws first will lose. One loss, but it is a lifetime. ”

Xiahou Xuan frowned, and his mood was very heavy. He knew that Wei Ba could not retreat, with the same strength, and it was a geographically advantageous defense, if he was defeated by Lu Xun in this way, it would be an unacceptable setback psychologically. He knew that Wei Ba's progress was very fast, and he had vaguely stepped into the realm of divine understanding in the use of the art of war, but if he was defeated by Lu Xun this time, he would not be able to have confidence when facing Lu Xun in the future. On the contrary, if he defeats Lu Xun, he will have enough confidence no matter what situation he encounters in the future.

As a general, there is a big difference between having confidence and not having confidence. Now is an important juncture for Wei Ba, whether he breaks through or retreats, may determine his future achievements.

Everyone knows that they should get through, but the risks are also chilling. In case you can't rush through, it may be a zuihou battle.

Xiahou Xuan put his hand on Wei Ba's shoulder, patted it gently, and turned to leave. At such a time, it is very necessary to let Wei Ba calm and calm himself, if Wei Ba needs his help, Wei Ba will naturally go to him.

Listening to the footsteps of Xiahou Xuan's departure, Wei Ba did not look back, his eyes fell on the banner that was slowly fluttering in the night breeze in the distance. He gritted his teeth, a hint of fierceness in his eyes.

"Lu Xun, let's compete to see who is more ruthless."

In the Wu army camp, Lu Xun and Pan Jun sat opposite each other, and today's casualty report was placed on the case. Zhuge Ke and Zhu Ji sat aside, bowing their heads, waiting for Lu Xun's Zuihou to decide.

"We can't fight anymore, we are all elites who die, but Wei Ba is a barbarian who has just been gathered, and our losses are much greater than him. If we continue to fight like this, we will fight the main force out. Pan Jun first broke the silence and put forward his opinion. At such a time, only he was qualified to persuade Lu Xun to retreat, although everyone else thought so, they could not bear such a responsibility, and they did not have enough weight.

"I know what you said, it doesn't matter how many barbarians you kill, it's the most important thing to kill Wei Ba. If you can kill Wei Ba, it will be worth dying another 10,000 people. If Wei Ba didn't die, even if he killed all these tens of thousands of barbarians, it would be meaningless. I understand this truth, I can't give up now, and from tomorrow onwards, I will send my troops into battle. ”

Pan Jun frowned in embarrassment. "Bo Yan, you know that I don't mean that, and I know your thoughts, but it seems more appropriate to stop now. Wei Ba has a geographical advantage and an advantage in armament, and we fought hard with him, and the casualties were too great. If the king told us to wait a little longer, why should we be in a hurry? Dragging Wei Ba is to complete the task, and when Zhou Yin and them come from behind, Wei Ba has nowhere to escape. ”

A hint of loss flashed in Lu Xun's eyes. He clenched his fists, the green tendons on the back of his hand exposed. Sun Quan's order came at a really bad time, there was no Sun Quan's order. He believed that no one here, including Pan Jun, would oppose his decision, and no one would dare to disobey his orders, but now that Sun Quan's orders were in place, his authority was shaken all of a sudden. Six or seven thousand people have already been killed in the battle, if they give up, they can't defeat Wei Ba in one go, and when Wei Ba recovers, the sacrifice of these warriors will lose its meaning.

"From Luling to the South China Sea, it takes more than 20 days to travel day and night. If there is a little accident. They won't be able to get there for a month. In the middle of the mountains, we can't communicate the news, are we waiting here to die? If they can't get there, Wei Ba still has more than 10,000 people who haven't appeared. I'm sure he won't be unguarded behind his back. Can Zhou Yin complete the task of outflanking. I doubt it very much. ”

Zhuge Ke, who had been silent, sneered: "Is this the general's decision to doubt the king?" ”

"Yes." Lu Xun said without thinking: "The king is far away in Wuchang. How could he possibly know what was going on at the front. will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected. Are we disloyal when we put our own blame on the king? ”

Lu Xun's voice was full of emotion. Zhuge Ke was speechless, didn't dare to say anything more, and retreated stupidly.

"So decided, continue the attack tomorrow. I'll send my own troops into battle, and you'll all rest for a while. Lu Xun glanced around and said coldly. Zhu Ji stood up and arched his hand, "General, I am willing to be a striker." ”

A trace of warmth flashed in Lu Xun's eyes, but he shook his head. "Didn't you hear my order?"

Zhu Ji was stunned, exchanged a look with Lu Xun, and then understood.

……

Outside Chengdu, the Wei family manor.

Guan Feng got out of the car, hurriedly walked into the gate, and walked straight to the backyard. Xiahou Hui came out of it with the child in his arms, and smiled when he saw Guan Feng in a hurry.

"Is my sister so anxious to enter our Wei family?"

Guan Feng's face turned red and reprimanded: "Be careful, who robs you, it's a matter of urgency to rush back now." ”

Xiahou Hui said with a smile: "Isn't it a serious matter for my sister to marry into our Wei family?" ”

Guan Feng avoided Xiahou Hui's playful eyes, stretched out his hand, and wanted to take the child from Xiahou Hui's arms, but hesitated. She had held a knife in her hand, killed someone, but never held a child, and looking at that pink little face, she didn't know if she would hurt him. Seeing Guan Feng's embarrassment, Xiahou Hui smiled and said: "Okay, hug, you always have to learn, otherwise what if you have a child in the future?" “

"How are you sharp-tongued now?" Guan Feng took the child and said lovingly: "Does it look like Ziyu?" ”

Xiahou Hui shrugged his shoulders. "I haven't seen Ziyu when she was a child, how do you know if it looks like it? Mother said that Ziyu didn't look like him at all when he was a child and now, but she didn't say that the child looked like him. She let Guan Feng into the room, which was filled with a warm smell mixed with the smell of urine and milk. Guan Feng sniffed and glanced at Xiahou Hui enviously.

"Take the child away, I'll talk to Sister Guan about something." Xiahou Hui waved his hand, and a maid came to pick up the child. Xiahou Hui put away his smile. "Is the front line tense right now?"

Guan Feng nodded. "Lu Xun and Pan Jun, two heavy generals, as well as young generals such as Zhuge Ke and Zhu Ji, a total of more than 30,000 people, all of them are battle-hardened elites. Ziyu only has 30,000 barbarian soldiers under his command, all of them are just gathered rabble, they have only been trained for two or three months, and their strength is okay, once they encounter a big battle, they will not be useful. In the past, we had nothing, and once the situation was not good, we could retreat at any time, but now with Jiaozhou, we can only defend Linhe if we want to protect the business road. I think Ziyu means to fight a battle with Lu Xun in Linhe and fight a tough battle, and it is impossible to fight guerrilla warfare like before. If that's the case, we don't stand a chance. ”

Xiahou Hui nodded. "Those who have a permanent birth have perseverance, and if they have a family business, of course, they can't just leave. But this has also become a burden, which is very unfavorable for Ziyu. Is there any way for my sister to return to Chengdu? ”

Ziyu meant to try to mobilize Bixia to dispatch a large army, show his determination to rescue, influence Sun Quan's judgment, and reduce his burden. Not to lose too much. If the army goes east, Sun Quan will definitely send Lu Xun back to help. Compared with Jingzhou, Jiaozhou is really nothing. ”

Xiahou Hui understood. "Is it too late?"

Guan Feng was silent for a long time. "Do our best, obey the destiny of God, all we can do is do our best. I hope that Ziyuji will be able to survive until that time. He took Xiahou Hui's hand and said, "So you can't delay, the sooner the better." ”

Xiahou Hui glanced at her: "Don't forget that you haven't entered the door of the Wei family yet, and now I'm more worried than you." (To be continued......)
