Chapter 388: No Advance or Retreat

Besides, Chen Yan and Xu Chu merged together and covered up against Yuan Shu's army, seeing that they had already killed the middle of the army, but the speed of the attack suddenly slowed down.

Chen Yan's heart was as careful as a hair, and naturally he suddenly discovered that the rhythm was wrong, that is, he was as rough as Xu Chu had already begun to feel that his killing speed had slowed down.

Although he was brave, but after the killing, fine beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead, he turned his head, looked at Chen Yan, and said, "Lord, why am I a little tired after I killed so many people today?" ”

Chen Yan was thinking about why his army was so slow, and when Xu Chu said this, he suddenly discovered the doorway, indeed, whether it was breaking armor or killing today, he felt a lot of effort, which actually showed one thing, the equipment of Yuan Shu's army seemed to be a bit against the sky!

Just thinking about it, he suddenly heard a loud noise, Chen Yan followed the prestige, only to see that Xu Chu's long knife actually broke the blade, and the power of a long knife was lost in an instant!

Xu Chu was furious, this knife could kill a general, but unfortunately his treasure knife was broken at a critical moment!

He angrily broke the handle of the long knife, fell to the ground, and scolded angrily: "Damn, why is this knife so incompetent this time!" ”

When Chen Yan heard this, he was not in a hurry to comfort Xu Chu, but began to check his halberd by himself.

Seeing this, Chen Yan suddenly felt a little shocked. Although Chen Yan's iron halberd is not a divine weapon, it is also practiced by the best craftsmen in Luoyang, and its sharpness and tenacity are second to none.

This iron halberd has been following Chen Yan since he first followed Lu Bu in Luoyang, and now it has been two years, although he has to go to the blacksmith shop to do some repairs after every war, but it has never been damaged to such a serious extent as it is today.

I saw that Chen Yan's iron halberd blade was already a little curled, it can be said that the sharpness was greatly reduced, and the tip of the halberd had also been damaged, and now it had become a blunt head, and even Chen Yan pressed it with his fingers, and there was no stinging feeling!

This weapon is so badly damaged?!

Without thinking about it, Chen Yan immediately understood the truth.

Xu Chu was still there like thunder, shouting: "Could it be that my knife was dropped? Why is it so vulnerable? ”

Chen Yan suddenly smiled and said, "Zhongkang, don't be in a hurry to get angry, look at the corpses of the enemy soldiers on the ground." ”

Xu Chu was said by Chen Yan, some of the second monks were confused, he leaned over to check, and found that the corpses on the ground were all dead, and there was nothing special.

"My lord? What's wrong? They're all dead. ”

Xu Chu said with some puzzlement.

Chen Yan said: "You take off their clothes." ”

When Xu Chu heard this, he was a little surprised, and said hesitantly: "Lord...... Lord...... How can this be? They're all dead, what are you going to do? ”

Chen Yan rolled his eyes, and couldn't wait to scold a few words, Xu Chu This guy is really simple-minded and has developed limbs, and he even thought that Chen Yan wanted to do something to the corpses of the enemy, thinking of this, Chen Yan could only patiently explain: "It's not the corpse, but their equipment, you look at their armor." ”

Xu Chu got the order, and after understanding, he lowered his body and pulled off the armor on the enemy's body, and then exclaimed: "My mother, the best iron armor!" ”

After that, Xu Chu hurriedly handed this armor to Chen Yan, Chen Yan looked at the pattern and specifications of this armor, and roughly judged that this armor was at most a piece of equipment, at most only a centurion, but its craftsmanship and material were luxurious, all of which had surpassed Chen Yan's imagination.

Such an armor, in Chen Yan's army, is at least something that only a lieutenant can wear.

The fight continued, but Chen Yan suddenly realized how terrible Yuan Shu was.

Cao Cao is terrible in the army, and he has a lot of generals, and he is far-sighted. Lu Bu is terrible because he has experienced a hundred battles and is invincible in the world. And Yuan Shu is different from these two people.

Yuan Shu is terrible because he has money.

Rich, capricious.

This is exactly what Yuan Shu described! Chen Yan looked at the armor in his hand, sighed and said, "This is really a tyrant......

Chen Yan said, threw the iron armor to Xu Chu, and said, "Zhongkang, now you understand why your long knife curls so quickly, right?" ”

Xu Chu nodded and said, "Yes, in this way, I really don't blame my treasure knife for not being solid enough." ”

Chen Yan nodded and said, "It's not just you, but my iron halberd is starting to be a little bad, I'm afraid that if we continue to fight, our soldiers will be unarmed to resist Yuan Shujun." ”

Xu Chu stomped his feet and scolded: "This damn Yuan Shu, this money is all obtained by him by squeezing the common people, and he is still so arrogant and wasteful, damnable!" ”

Chen Yan listened to what Xu Chu said, and couldn't help but sigh, Huainan is a good place, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and now Yuan Shu has so much money, it must be all looted people's fat and people's ointment, which really pities the people of Huainan.

At this time, Chen Yan looked up and saw that the soldiers under Ji Ling's command had gradually scattered on a large scale because of the leaderless dragons, and they had lost their fighting spirit.

But Chen Yan knew in his heart that if this war of attrition continued, his soldiers' weapons would definitely be seriously damaged, which would be very unfavorable to his continued fighting, thinking of this, Chen Yan hurriedly ordered: "Retreat!" ”

Xu Chu glared and said in surprise: "Lord, let's just withdraw like this?" ”

Chen Yan nodded and said, "That's right, they are too well equipped, if they continue to fight, we will suffer." ”

Although Xu Chu didn't quite understand, Chen Yan's order was undoubtedly a holy decree to him, and he immediately followed Chen Yan and turned around and left the battlefield.

In this battle, Chen Yan captured many fierce generals and killed about 2,000 enemy soldiers, but he also lost more than 1,000 people, which is really not a victory.

Moreover, Chen Yan also discovered Yuan Shujun's shocking secret, that is, the luxury of the equipment was something that Chen Yan had never seen before.

As the night deepened, Chen Yan slowly returned to the camp with a group of soldiers, many of whom were still carrying armor that had been taken off Yuan Shujun's body.

Before he reached the gate of the camp, Chen Yan saw three people standing at the gate of the camp from a distance, waiting eagerly.

The tall one in the middle is Huang Zhong, and the two thin scribes on either side, one is Jia Xu, and the other is Guo Jia.

When the three of them saw Chen Yan coming back, they all hurriedly stepped forward to greet them, and the sentry had already come back to tell the three of them about the battle situation, and now the three of them were waiting for Chen Yan to explain the reason for the retreat.

Chen Yan naturally knew what everyone meant, and without saying a word, he threw the armor of Yuan Shujun he was carrying in front of the three of them, sighed, and said, "The armor of the elders in Yuan Shujun is all of this level. ”
