For Liu Yan, this battle came completely inexplicably. (Please search, the novel is better and faster!)

He was ordered by Liu Kun, the assassin of the state of Bingzhou, to lead the army to the east, which was originally out of political meaning rather than actual combat. From Bingzhou Yue Taihang to Changshan, in the south is the core area of the Jizhou Thorn History Department, and in the north is the Dai County that was recently recovered by 6 Yao Xin with strong troops, so the whole army did not make special precautions along the way. This time, Liu Yan took more than 1,000 people from the Chinese army out to patrol Lingshou, in order to receive distinguished guests from Daijun, and the whole army had the idea of protocol, which was even more loose.

However, just a few days after the garrison Lingshou, Liu Yan's Dazhai was attacked by thousands of elite cavalry unprepared. The soldiers rose up in the middle of the night to resist, and many of them could not even find weapons, let alone maintain the formation, and collapsed on the spot. Enemy cavalry poured into the camp from all directions, like a torrent of rushing away all the soldiers of the Jinyang Army who dared to resist, and the battle situation entered a one-sided slaughter process from the beginning.

After all, Liu Yan was born as a scholar, and when it comes to being strong and good at fighting, he is quite inferior to the rest of the generals of the Bingzhou army. Under the arrangement of his father Liu Yu, he threw his pen from Rong to enter the ranks of the commanders of the Jinyang Army. But from beginning to end, he was arranged by Liu Kun in a relatively safe rear army, performing various security and transshipment tasks, and never took on battlefield command alone. At this moment, he gave orders even more, but he couldn't grasp the situation, and he vaguely heard that he was about to catch his own shouts, which shook the world and made him even more panicked.

This is Changshan, which is the hinterland of the Jizhou Thorn History Department. On all sides is the territory firmly controlled by the Great Jin Dynasty, where did the enemy come from? Liu Yan stood in front of the big tent and was at a loss for a while.

He thought again that if the front could not resist, then this sudden battle would inevitably end in the misery of his own side. And then what? The uncle's plan to control the two counties of Zhongshan in Changshan has since turned into a mirror, and the strength of the Jinyang army is still limited to the mountains and rivers in the state? And what about yourself? Maybe he can get away with it, and then take another position in the eyes of a group of colleagues who sneer and despise him, and be forever illuminated by the wings of the assassin of the state as a child of anointing?

A stray arrow flew diagonally from somewhere on the battlefield. The black arrow shaft was hidden in the black night sky, and the sharp roar of the arrow breaking through the sky was also muffled by the earth-shattering shouts of killing. Fortunately, several of the generals guarding him were all elites specially selected by Liu Kun, and one of them was extremely alert, swinging his knife and slapping the arrow.

The stray arrow came very fast, only turned slightly, grazed Liu Yan's shoulder, and pierced on the beams and pillars of the big tent, and the tail of the arrow still buzzed lightly.

Several guards looked at the flaming battlefield in front of them, and then looked at the sharp arrow, and their faces all changed.

Someone took a step forward and bowed down and asked, "General, don't stay here for long. Let's go at once and retreat into the mountains and forests to the west of the camp! ”

Not far to the west of the camp is a large area of beautiful mountainous land. In the past few days, Liu Yan has negotiated with the distinguished guests of Daijun, and has traveled leisurely between the forests and springs many times, singing and harmonizing with poems. The terrain there is complex and changeable, there are five continuous mountain peaks standing side by side, the mountains are full of strange stone waterfalls, the most spectacular ones hang in the air and go straight down to 30 zhang, and those who see it are all excited. The meaning of the guards is that the tide of the battle is difficult to reverse, and they are willing to flee to this mountain forest with Liu Yan. Relying on the familiarity with the terrain for several days, even if the enemy searched for everything, he could definitely not find any trace of Liu Yan.

There is no doubt that in the current situation, this is the only reliable way to save your life.

But Na Hu Conglian said it twice, but Liu Yan turned a deaf ear.

His face flushed, and his breathing grew faster. He remembered that when he first stepped into the mansion of the king of the East China Sea with his father Liu Yu and Liu Qingsun, those Luoyang celebrities covered their mouths and sneered, whispering insulting words that "the public is still tired, and the people are dirty", and they just rightly transmitted those words to their ears; He remembered that his uncle Liu Yueshi accepted the post of assassin at the time of the ups and downs of Bingzhou, and went through countless bloody storms to barely support this small foundation......

The hardships and dangers faced by the fathers are more than ten times greater than what they have experienced. It was all thanks to the management of his fathers that he was able to occupy a high position at a young age and be given a responsibility. If you flee today in fear of the enemy, where will you leave behind your father's hard work and uncle's bloody battle? But where did the reputation of the Zhongshan Liu family originate from the emperor and nobles be thrown? Liu Qingsun's son and Liu Yueshi's nephew may be an incompetent defeated general, but he is by no means a courageless fugitive!

Liu Yan suddenly shouted and rushed out of the big tent!

At this time, the enemy cavalry had already rushed to the close range of the Chinese army several times. Dozens of middle sergeants and soldiers barely lined up in a horizontal line to intercept them, stumbling on their left and right.

Liu Yan stepped into the array, and did not greet left and right, but pulled out his sword and slashed. His skills were ordinary, but he relied on his saber to be a masterpiece, and in the blink of an eye, he slashed two thorny mallets in succession, and then killed his enemies to the ground.

The guards were all shocked when they saw the boss personally receiving the enemy. For one person, he hurriedly rushed over to protect Liu Yan's flank, and called out repeatedly: "Why is the general like this? ”

Liu Yan didn't have time to answer. He dodged a screaming foe and lowered him to the back of his companions to kill him. At the same time, he advanced forward, swinging his knife with both hands. Wherever the sword light went, a puddle of blood rose to the sky and sprinkled on his body and face.

He let out a whirl, took a few steps back, and wiped his face with his sleeve.

Hu Cong grabbed him by the shoulder and shouted, "General, let's go!" ”

"You might as well run away. I'm Zhongshan Weichang Liu, but there is no coward who escaped from the battle! Liu Yan didn't even look at those servants, he pointed at the soldiers around him with a knife, and shouted: "Quickly put up my flag!" Sue those thieves, Liu Shiren is here! ”

"Are I afraid of death?" Several servants were so angry that they yelled at Liu Yan, and then inserted themselves into the array and moved forward. These people are all skilled in martial arts, and they suddenly forced Hu Er's offensive to stagnate.

In the chaos, the cyan military flag belonging to Liu Yan was held high. Although no one could read the words on the flag in the night, many soldiers could determine by the color of the flag alone: "General Liu is there!" General Liu is there! ”

Many of the backbone officers in the army that followed Liu Yandong were veterans who had fought fiercely with the Huns before, and they did not lack courage and martial arts, but they lost their command when they were caught off guard, and thus were controlled by hesitation and panic.

Until now, many soldiers have understood that the enemy is a Hu man who appeared out of nowhere. The ferocity and cruelty of the Hu people have long been needless to say, fighting with them, once they fail, they will die, how can there be any luck?

At this moment, seeing Liu Yan's general flag erected, the remaining officers and soldiers of the Jinyang Army invariably gathered in the direction of the general flag. Many soldiers were angry, and they were saying to each other: "General Liu is there!" Even if we want to die, we will die with the general! ”

However, just as they were determined to fight a final battle to the death, the enemy cavalry suddenly retreated.

The retreat was as abrupt as it had come, and the corpses all over the ground were abandoned, like a reef after the tide receded. The enemy, who had been fighting fiercely, suddenly lost his fighting spirit and fled all over the mountains. The fierce wolves suddenly became rabbits, and in a few moments, they fled farther and farther away, and their figures looked like ants.

Looking out over the undulating slopes to the east, there are still many enemy horses. But they did not have the slightest intention of throwing themselves into the battlefield, but gradually retreated, to the other side of the slope.

The camp that had been noisy and shaky suddenly fell silent, except for the crackling sound of a few tents being lit and burning.

By this time, every soldier was ready to die, and when victory came, they were in disbelief. Until the enemy retreated farther and farther, the happiness of the rest of his life after the catastrophe suddenly filled the chest of every soldier of the Jinyang Army. Many involuntarily discarded their weapons and sat on the ground crying and laughing.

"What's going on?" Liu Yan leaned on the ground with a knife, trying to support his suddenly de-stressed body, but unfortunately his feet shook involuntarily, and finally sat down with a bang. He threw his long knife and looked suspiciously ahead, then at the remaining two servants beside him, wanting to cheer for the rest of his life, but doubting that it didn't seem to be true. After a long time, he waved his hand and said, "Go, go and grab one of you and ask." Who is the enemy? Why come? Why go? ”

Although the two servants were also wounded, as the guards of the main general, they did not leave their armor day and night, and the few knife wounds were not very serious. Hearing Liu Yan's instructions, the two responded in unison, and led two ownerless war horses from not far away and rode out.

"Holy shit, what's going on!" Under the impact of intense emotions such as joy, anger, and doubt, Liu Yan rarely burst into foul language. He suddenly thought of the other side, so he summoned two more soldiers: "You guys, go to the back tent to see Deyuan Gongke, and if there is any injury, immediately find a doctor for treatment." ”

It turned out that the distinguished guest of Daijun was Tuoba Xianbei, who had lived in the grassland for a long time, and Dingxiang Hou Wei Cao. As a gentleman, drinking influence in northern Xinjiang, if it is folded in Liu Yanjun, it will be a trouble for the boss. Therefore, Liu Yan stopped for a while, and immediately thought of determining Wei Cao's safety.

As he spoke, the two cavalrymen had already run far away. Just two horses, no matter how skilled they are, they are useless on the battlefield where you come and go. But now it's just a matter of catching them back, and the two of them are good enough to be happy. After a long time the two turned back, and a number of captives were tied behind the horses with long ropes.

Liu Yan raised his voice and asked, "What do you say?" Where did these thieves come from? ”

The two knights looked extremely strange, and they did not answer Liu Yan's question, and walked closer.

The two looked at each other, as if they were reluctant to report it. It wasn't until Liu Yan urged again and again that someone saluted with a bitter face: "General, they are not thieves, they are Youzhou Army." ”

Liu Yan Huo Ran jumped up: "What? Why did the Youzhou Army come here? Did they mutinied? Or is it the chaos of Hu'er in Youzhou? ”

He waved his hand angrily and cursed loudly: "That king Peng Zu has no way to govern the army, and he actually caused such a thing!" After this incident, I must ask my uncle to write a letter to impeach him......"

"General Qiyu, these people are not chaotic soldiers, they are all troops directly belonging to the hussar general, the assassin of Youzhou, and the prince of Boling County. The one who led them to attack us was Wang Jun and Peng Zu himself. Na Hu's face was so bitter that he almost flowed bile: "In addition, according to these captives, Peng Zushi, the king of Wang Jun, personally led the army into battle, and as a result, he was killed by us in the chaotic battle......"

"......" Liu Yan's eyes swirled for a while, and his throat suddenly felt slightly sweet, almost spurting blood.
