Chapter 110: The Battle of the Breakout

The Han army led by Liu Xiu suddenly came up from behind the Kui Huan Army, and really caught the Kui Huan Army off guard.

Although there were 30,000 or 40,000 people in the Kui Huan army surrounding Fuxiang, they were scattered all over the company camp, and the company and battalion of the Kui Huan army focused on facing the Fuxiang side, not behind it, and they were caught off guard and could not withstand the impact of the 5,000 Han army at all.

The battle was not fierce, and the Han army led by Liu Xiu easily broke through the encirclement of the Kui Huan army and successfully entered Fuxiang.

The Han army, which was trapped in Fuxiang, saw the arrival of reinforcements from their own side, and the officers and men of the whole army were all happy and excited.

However, seeing that there were only 5,000 reinforcements, people were a little dumbfounded, only these people came to rescue them, isn't this a meat bun beating a dog?

The partial general Lu Jin, with a cadre of generals, went out of his hometown to welcome the Han army who came to rescue them.

When everyone saw Liu Xiu dressed as an ordinary Han soldier, they couldn't believe their eyes, Lu Jin looked at Liu Xiu with blank eyes, and stammered and asked, "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty? ”

Liu Xiu smiled, took two steps forward, and said in a calm tone: "It's me!" ”

Lu Jin's body was shocked, and he hurriedly knelt on his knees, kowtowed forward, and said, "Weichen...... The sinner didn't know if it was His Majesty...... Your Majesty ...... "The generals behind him also knelt down in unison and bowed their heads forward.

Hearing Lu Jin call himself a criminal minister, Liu Xiu stretched out his hand to help him up, waved his hand to the other generals, and said, "Everyone, please get up!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Liu Xiu looked at Lu Jin and said, "General Lu led the soldiers to hold on to his hometown for many days, what is the crime?" ”

When Lu Jin heard this, his old face turned red, they were able to hold on to Fuxiang because the Kui Huan Army did not attack in a big way at all, and they besieged Fuxiang but did not attack, which was obviously a tactic of encircling and sending reinforcements.

He thought that his side could see through the tactics of the enemy, either he would not come to the rescue, or he would come to the rescue, or he would lead a large army to come to the rescue, but he thought that he only sent 5,000 soldiers, and the most important thing was that even His Majesty came in person.

Isn't this tantamount to leading Your Majesty into a desperate situation?

The lives of more than 10,000 of their soldiers, tied together, are not as valuable as His Majesty's life! "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty shouldn't have come! Your Majesty shouldn't have come to return to his hometown in person! Obviously, the enemy army has 30,000 or 40,000 people, but in the dark, I don't know how much to hide......" The more Lu Jin said, the more anxious he became, and his eyes were red.

Liu Xiu could understand his feelings, he patted Lu Jin's arm, and said: "General Lu, the headquarters of our army is now being surrounded and intercepted by a large number of enemy troops. ”

Lu Jin nodded again and again, and he said, "Since this is the case, Your Majesty should not come!" Even if we are trapped in our hometown, we will never surrender to the enemy, even if we die to the death, we will fight the enemy to the end! ”

Liu Xiu Zhengse said: "I am not only the Son of Heaven, but also the chief general of this Western Expedition, I will never leave behind the trapped soldiers and die."

I led the army to help this time, not to die, General Lu also has to cheer up, rush out of the encirclement with me, take the brothers, and withdraw to Sanfu! ”

Lu Jin and other trapped soldiers were greatly moved when they heard Liu Xiu's words.

The people knelt down again, bowed forward, choked and trembled, and said: "I am willing to be for Your Majesty, with broken bones and liver and brains, and I will not give up!" ”

In such a passive situation on his side, in order to save them from more than 10,000 nobodies, he only led 5,000 soldiers and horses deep into the hinterland of the enemy army and came to the rescue, how could he not be deeply moved, and now even if Liu Xiu asked them to die immediately, they could draw their swords without hesitation, wipe their necks and commit suicide without asking for any reason.

Most of the people in the countryside have fled, and there are only a few widows and orphans.

The trapped Han army built a temporary Chinese military tent in the center of Fuxiang.

After entering the Chinese military tent, Liu Xiu did not give in, sat in the center, and the rest of the generals were separated on both sides.

Liu Xiu looked down and saw that the table in front of him was too small, so he asked people to move the table away and spread the map directly on the ground.

Then, he beckoned to everyone and motioned for them to come closer and speak.

People gathered around, their eyes falling on the map.

Liu Xiu said: "General Lu said just now that the enemy's tactic is to encircle the point and send reinforcements, and I deeply believe it. ”

Everyone present nodded their heads again and again.

Liu Xiu continued: "At present, there are 30,000 or 40,000 enemy troops besieging Fuxiang, and there are more than 15,000 soldiers trapped in Fuxiang in our army, and the enemy's strength is twice as large as our army. ”

All the generals nodded one after another, indicating that Liu Xiu's analysis was reasonable.

Liu Xiu continued: "So, I thought General Lu's judgment was very correct, the enemy army was thirty or forty thousand people, but secretly, there should be more soldiers and horses hidden, but, where are these hidden enemy troops? ”

Liu Xiu looked at Lu Jin.

The latter frowned and did not speak immediately.

Liu Xiudao: "When I came to Fuxiang, I also deliberately observed the terrain around Fuxiang, most of which were flat and difficult to hide soldiers. ”

Lu Jin opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, Wechen also sent scouts out to investigate, but none of the scouts sent out came back alive, Wechen thought that the most likely hiding place for the enemy army was either the foot of Fushan Mountain in the north of Fuxiang, or the foot of Fushan Mountain in the south of Fuxiang.

Fushan, this is the only place where the enemy can hide. ”

Hearing his words, Liu Xiu immediately lowered his head and looked at the map.

His fingers kept swiping on the map, nodded thoughtfully, and said: "In the north of Fuxiang, it is unlikely that the enemy army will hide troops, after all, our army will not run north, and there will be no reinforcements from our side in the north. ”

"Then, only the south side of Fuxiang is left!"

Liu Xiu nodded on the map and said, "Nine times out of ten!" ”

As he spoke, he looked at the people present and said in a loud voice: "If we retreat, we can't retreat to the south, let alone to the north, there is only one way, retreat to the east!" ”

Lu Jin nodded and said, "In this way, we can avoid the ambush in the south of Fuxiang, and let the enemy's ambush be useless!" ”

After choosing the direction of retreat, Liu Xiu discussed the specific steps of retreat with everyone.

"Now, our army has 20,000 soldiers, who will take the lead, who will come to the rear of the palace?"

Without waiting for the generals to speak, Liu Xiu immediately continued: "I've already thought about it, Lu Jin!" ”

"Wechen is here!"

"You and Xuying, Xuting, and Xufei led the way with 18,000 soldiers.

I led the remaining two thousand soldiers to the queen's palace. ”

After listening to Liu Xiu's arrangement, everyone was shocked and said in unison: "Your Majesty, this is too dangerous!" ”

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "The queen of the palace may not be dangerous, but the first battle is the most dangerous!" Now that the enemy knows that our reinforcements have arrived, they will definitely strengthen their defenses, and it will not be easy to tear a hole in the enemy's company and camp and rush out. ”

As he spoke, Liu Xiu's gaze naturally fell on Lu Jin, and said: "Lu Jin, your burden is quite heavy, when you lead your troops to break through, the main force of the enemy army will definitely surround your troops." ”

Lu Jin immediately arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, Weichen will not give up his bones, and he will not give up his ......" Before he finished speaking, Liu Xiu shook his hand and said: "I don't want you to die, I just want you to take as many soldiers out as possible alive, bring out of the encirclement of the enemy army, and bring back Sanfu!" ”

Lu Jin and all the generals present had hot eyes, and their eyes were covered with a layer of mist.

Lu Jin said in a nasal voice: "Your Majesty, Weichen...... Wechen will not disgrace His Majesty's mission! ”

Liu Xiu patted Lu Jin on the shoulder and said, "Without further ado, start preparing now, and after dark, our army will begin to break through!" ”

He led his troops to return to his hometown after a long journey, and he was tired up and down, and he also wanted to let his soldiers rest and recuperate, but he didn't have that time.

Geng Yi has led the main army to retreat to Sanfu, and the enemy army cannot catch up with Geng Yi, so he will inevitably turn around and go all out to deal with their troops.

The more time they delayed, the more difficult it would be for them to withdraw Sansuke.

There was nothing to say during the day, and at night, the Han army began to move, and LΓΌ Jin, Xuying, Xuting, and Xufei led a Han army of 18,000 people to launch an all-out attack on the Kui Huan army company camp in the east of Fuxiang.

Liu Xiu, Luo You, Long Yuan, Long Zhun, and Long Xiao took the remaining 2,000 Han troops and stayed in Fuxiang and did not move for the time being.

Their task is to rear, not to break through the enemy army, they just have to wait, wait until Lu Jinbu tears the enemy's defense line open, and then they follow the breach and pass through.

They couldn't see the battle between Lu Jinbu and Kui Huan's army, but they could hear bursts of shouts and killings, as well as the crisp sound of countless iron weapons colliding with each other.

Luo You cushioned her little feet, stretched her neck, and looked at the battlefield in the night ahead, although she couldn't see anything, she still looked nervous.

She asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, General Lu, can they ...... Can you break through smoothly? ”

Liu Xiu smiled and said, "If I wasn't here, they wouldn't, but now that I'm here, they can." ”

What he said was very stinky, but it was true, Liu Xiu's arrival was not just as simple as bringing only 5,000 fresh troops, but more importantly, he raised the morale of the soldiers of the whole army by a large margin.

The soldiers all know in their hearts that now His Majesty is watching him from behind, if he doesn't work hard at this time, when will he wait to work hard?

In order to rescue his own side, His Majesty did not hesitate to personally risk and go deep into the enemy's belly, and now even if he gives up his old life, he has to repay His Majesty! As the saying goes, one person is desperate, and ten people are invincible.

The 18,000 Han troops fought together, even if there were many Kui soldiers, it was indeed difficult to resist.

They were watching, a scout galloped over, and when Liu Xiu approached, the scout turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee, intervened in the salute, and said: "Your Majesty, our army has broken through the enemy's camp defense and killed the enemy's company camp!" ”

Liu Xiu's eyes flashed, and a smile appeared on his face.

Breaking through the enemy camp is the rarest, and now your own soldiers have successfully broken through the enemy's camp defense, which is equivalent to breaking through more than half of the success.

He said, "Let's talk about it again!" ”

The scout answered, remounted his horse, and galloped forward again.

The spies were like a marquee, sending back news of the battle ahead.

The Han army led by LΓΌ Jin, Xuying, Xufei, and Xuting was really overwhelming, and in the enemy's camp, they repelled round after round of enemy attacks, from the west side of the company camp to the east of the company camp.

It was only at this time that Liu Xiu gave the order for the whole army to advance suddenly.

Their two thousand Han troops did not have any fighting, and they almost swaggered into the camp of the Kui Huan army company.

The gates of the company camp were wide open, and the ground was full of corpses.

Among them are the corpses of the Han army, but more of them are the corpses of the Kui Huan army.

Entering the camp and continuing to walk forward, there were more corpses on the ground, and in some places, the corpses were not paved in one layer, but in several layers, and they were already stacked so high.

From this, it can be seen that the battle just now was bloody.

Liu Xiu's Han army of 2,000 people is now more like they are here to pick up leaks, and when they encounter scattered enemy troops, they immediately rush forward to surround and annihilate them, and when they encounter the wounded and not dead enemy troops, they immediately go up to make up for a spear and stab them to the ground.

Along the way, there were hundreds of Kui Huan soldiers killed by them.

The main force led by Lu Jin had successfully broken through the eastern defense line of the company camp and successfully broke through from the company camp of the Kui Huan Army.

Liu Xiubu in the back, until this time, could be regarded as encountering a somewhat large-scale enemy army.
