Chapter 408: The Banner of the Han Army

Spring brings vitality to everything, but what it brings to Lu Xun's troops is still despair, and the Shu army trapped in grain and grass is still in difficulty in this spring famine, and it has not changed because of the arrival of spring.

The Shu army has eaten up everything that can be eaten, the war horses have been killed, the bark has been gnawed away, and even the cowhide armor on the body has been put into the pot to cook, although those cowhide armor can't rot no matter how it is cooked, but it was still swallowed into the stomach by the Shu soldiers.

Hunger makes people crazy and makes people lose their minds, and when they heard that there was a Wei army's grain transport team passing through Xiegu, all the Shu soldiers were excited, and they all ran to ask the captain Lu Xun for battle, and wanted to rob the grain and grass.

Lu Xun frowned secretly, he thought that such news at this time was likely a trap set by the Wei army. It is no accident that the long and arduous guerrilla warfare nourished Luson's calm and sober mind, and that the other three were all extinct and Luson alone.

The reason why Lu Xun was able to survive in this difficult guerrilla war was that Liu Yin played a vital role in the 16-character principle of guerrilla warfare that Liu Yin gave him, that the enemy advanced and we retreated, that the enemy was stationed and disturbed, that the enemy was tired and that I would fight, and that the enemy would retreat and that I would pursue, and that this 16-character formula was simply the magic weapon for victory in guerrilla warfare; although Lu Xun was not the kind of smart person who could understand it at a glance, he still understood the essence of the 16-character guerrilla warfare step by step in the long-term guerrilla warfare, and he learned it and used it wisely, persevered in the extremely dangerous guerrilla warfare for the longest time, and killed the enemy the most.

When it comes to Liu Yin, Lu Xun has always had a grateful heart, if it were not for Liu Yin's mention back then, Lu Xun would probably be broken by the Wei army like the other three-way guerrilla captains. It's just that Lu Xun didn't know if there was a chance to return to Shuzhong alive. Go and thank Liu Yin in person. Now his army is trapped deep in the mountains of the Qinling Mountains. There is no food or grass in it. There are no reinforcements outside, and I don't know how long I can hold out, but no matter what, Lu Xun is still full of a sense of achievement, in the year and a half after the fall of Hanzhong, Lu Xun's troops killed more than 1,000 enemies, and burned countless Wei army grain, grass, baggage, trucks, and materials. Although Lu Xun is in the Qinling Mountains, the news is blocked, and he cannot know the current situation in Shuzhong, but he believes that he will attack the Wei army's grain road again and again, and will effectively support the Shu army's anti-enemy operations in Shuzhong.

If in normal times. Lu Xun will definitely think carefully to see if it is a trap set by the Wei people. But at this moment, the whole team fell into starvation, if there was no more food and grass supply, before the Wei army came to attack, they would have starved to death. Rather than sit and wait to die, it is better to take a risk, this batch of grain and grass has become the last straw for the Shu army, Lu Xun weighed it again and again, agreed to the request of his subordinates, and led his troops to the valley to rob the grain and grass.

At this step, Lu Xun also rushed to the hospital in a hurry, although Lu Xun knew that it was extremely risky, but now, he had no choice.

However, this is Xun Kai's trap, the heavy snow in winter closed the mountain, and the Wei army could not enter the mountain to encircle and suppress, but Xun Kai knew that Lu Xun's team must be in trouble because of the food shortage, despite this, from the experience of a year, although Lu Xun's army is facing a desperate situation, but the hundred-legged insects, dead but not stiff, want to completely eliminate Lu Xun, it is not an easy task.

Therefore, Xun Kai thought about it again and again, and decided to take advantage of the shortage of grain and grass in the Shu army, eager to obtain grain and grass supplies, and sent an army, pretending to be a grain transport team, from the valley to Hanzhong, and deliberately leaked the whereabouts of the travel, luring the Shu army to come and rob the grain, and at the same time he personally led 3,000 elite soldiers, set up an ambush in the valley, and waited for Lu Xun to take the bait.

Sure enough, it was not Xun Kai's surprise, and Lu Xun, who was eager to seek food and grass supplements, jumped into the encirclement of the Wei army.

There is almost no suspense about the outcome of this battle, Xun Kai's soldiers and horses are strong, well-prepared, and the strength of the Shu army is several times that of the Shu army, and even he thinks that there is no problem in completely annihilating the Luson army in one battle. But what he never expected was that the amazing combat power of the Shu army that broke out in a desperate situation was so unusually strong, and he was stunned to break out of a gap in the Wei army's net and retreat north.

Battles are often the most motivating for the morale of the soldiers, and in a desperate situation, the will to survive burst out of the Shu army is almost unstoppable, and it breaks through the encirclement of the Wei army.

But after the siege was highlighted, the Shu army found that their way back had been cut off by the Wei army, and they could no longer go back to the direction of Hanzhong, in order to avoid the annihilation of the whole army, Lu Xun immediately made a decision and led the troops to break through in the direction of Xieyu Pass.

His only hope is to get out of the Xieyu Pass and reach Wuzhang Plain, not to encounter the Wei brigade of men, in the plains, the hope of obtaining grain and grass supplies is much greater than in the mountains, after the defeat of the battle of Xiegu, this Shu army can no longer find food, it is doomed to be destroyed.

Of course, Xun Kai couldn't sit back and watch the boiled duck fly away, Lu Xun chose to go north, in Xun Kai's opinion, he was completely self-defeating, the land of Guanlong was the base camp of the Wei army, and Lu Xun's hundreds of people dared to enter Yongzhou, which was no different from looking for death. But died in the hands of others, Xun Kai's credit was gone, he didn't want to make a wedding dress for others, so Xun Kai picked up 3,000 men and horses, and chased wildly, when the Shu army arrived at Xieyu Pass, Xun Kai's army only kept a distance of about ten miles from it, and it was about to arrive.

There are obstacles in front, there are chasing soldiers in the back, Lu Xun who was trapped in the Xieyu Pass is really desperate at the moment, he has experienced countless battles in his life, but he has never encountered such a predicament as today, Lu Xun knows that today will be the time to become a benevolent, as a Hanchen, he will never choose to surrender, even if it is to the last soldier, blood splashed five steps, he will never surrender.

Lu Xun pulled his sword in his hand and shouted: "I, Lu Xun, was born as a Han minister, and I am a Han ghost when I die, I can't do anything today, I should kill myself to repay Your Majesty, Shuzhong Erlang, there are only ghosts who die in battle, and there are no ministers who bend their knees, everyone will go out with me, kill one is enough, kill two and earn one!" ”

These Shu troops are all warriors who have experienced a hundred battles with Lu Xun, and they have already reported their mortal hearts, and they all know that there is no way out of life at this time, and they all shouted in unison, responding to Lu Xun's words, preparing to fight to the death with the enemy.

However, a sharp-eyed soldier seemed to see something unusual, and he pointed to the front and said, "Captain Lu, it seems that the front is the flag ...... of our Han army" (to be continued. )
