"General, the front army has been ambushed!"

"General, the number of enemies is more than twice that of the front army, the first arrows are fired, and then the infantry and cavalry are crossed, and our army is caught off guard and suffers heavy losses."

"General Ding Miao rode into the enemy formation alone and killed dozens of people. Our army fought hard and did not retreat, and the enemy's offensive was slightly defeated. ”

"The cavalry on both wings of the enemy army has been outflanked, and our army has fallen into a bitter battle!"

"The enemy has a general, and he is extremely brave. General Ding Miao fought against him unfavorably, and our army's spirit gradually lost! ”

Tanma kept reporting the battle situation ahead, and Lu Yao heard a few things, and he already knew that the military situation was critical.

Although Ding Miao is brave and warlike, after all, as a general of the unified army, he has no reason to be in battle as soon as he fights. Presumably, the enemy army came suddenly, and the offensive was too fierce, so he could only clash with the enemy in person, trying to suppress the enemy's arrogance and buy time for himself with his personal bravery. Crossing the battlefield with the strength of one person is certainly enough to show one's own martial might, but if the enemy army consciously encircles and kills, the degree of danger is unimaginable. Not to mention, there are brave generals in the enemy army who are enough to compete with Ding Miao!

The soldiers in front faced twice as many enemies as they could not retreat, swords and arrows came and went, blood sprayed, and they were under tremendous pressure. Although the Chinese army has not yet engaged the enemy, Lu Yao is also facing tremendous pressure.

What the enemy inflicted on the front army was a deliberate and long-planned ambush, and such an ambush would not be the only one, there was no doubt that a great war was coming. But who is the enemy? Where does the enemy come from? Where is it now? What's next? There were no answers to these questions, Lu Yao frowned and pondered, unable to solve them for a long time. Although he has experienced countless battles, the situation he faces has never been as chaotic as it is at this moment. There is no doubt that in this chaos, there are unimaginable dangers.

Lu Yao could feel that the soldiers around him were all looking eagerly at him with eager eyes. Although the former army encountered the enemy, the confidence of the soldiers was not shaken by this, for them, Lu Yao, who has a brilliant record, is where their confidence lies, and it is the guarantee of victory. Each of them expected Lu Yao to immediately issue an order for battle, so that the soldiers could rush forward and win the victory.

But the current situation was not expected in advance, and Lu Yao didn't know how to deal with it for a while!

In the original plan, the Qiluo and Puliuru tribes had been confused by their own raids in the southern part of the Bashang grassland, and instead concentrated on suppressing the Jin settlements in the Yuanyuan. The Jin army drove a hundred miles of surprise attacks, and they could be caught off guard. However, Lu Yao never expected that the hunter who had thought it was a hunter suddenly turned into a prey, and the person who intended to raid the enemy was suddenly attacked. Such a change is too drastic, and the plan that I racked my brains to confuse the enemy has created a dangerous situation that is difficult to recover...... This place is not the Central Plains where there are strong cities everywhere to defend, nor is it the Daijun that he has painstakingly managed, but the grassland occupied by Hu'er for thousands of years. What would happen if the war was unfavorable and nearly 10,000 troops were trapped in a foreign land, with no support or assistance?

He glanced at Zhu Sheng, who was in charge of the spy, out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly became a little annoyed. In order to organize a reliable spy agency, the entire Daijun has invested countless manpower and material resources. In the early stage, it did work well. Doesn't it claim to have a complete grasp of the situation of the entire grassland on the dam? Isn't it claimed that the movements of dozens of Xianbei tribes are included in the monitoring at any time? However, when the time came, none of the spies scattered all over the grassland could deliver valuable information, and the entire army was put in danger. Zhu Sheng's guy is simply ...... It's ......

Lu Yao tried his best to eliminate the idea of shirking responsibility. The decision to attack the source was made by himself, and in any case, it should not be blamed on his soldiers, each of them did their best. He inhaled deeply, exhaled deeply, maintaining a semblance of composure. But the palms of his hands that were gripping the handle of the sword gradually became wet and sticky, stained with sweat, and his emotions were already difficult to contain.

Since entering Dai County, Lu Yao's army has swept away, and he has never encountered real difficulties from beginning to end. Maybe it's because these days are too smooth, he thinks that everything will be on the road to victory from now on, and even almost arrogantly declares that he will seek the merits of Qi Huan and Jin Wen. But at this moment, he suddenly felt again the helplessness he had when he was running for his life in the Taihang Mountains, the kind of hesitation that kept struggling in the stormy waves that were enough to be topless.

Lu Yao's mood at the moment was by no means fear. He has been in a hundred battles, and has fought countless times to survive in the danger of being a millimeter away from death, and he has long been afraid of what he is afraid of. What made him anxious and nervous was what would happen to the subordinates who followed him, who had just stabilized Daijun Foundation. Compared to a flat boat, a giant ship may be enough to cut through the waves, but when faced with the surging tide sweeping, as the leader, he must be responsible for the lives of the whole ship!

Lu Yao, do you want to fight to help the world? Do you want to calm the world and rebuild a prosperous world? That's too far away. What you need to think about is just for now, just how to survive today's difficulties, and how to do it to be worthy of those loyal subordinates who trust you and support you!

"The 100,000 troops of the rear army were ordered to move closer to me in a hurry, and the Chinese army immediately formed a formation." Lu Yao said categorically. At present, the enemy situation is unknown, and if the rapid march to rescue Ding Miao's troops is likely to make the whole army tend to be passive. The officers and men of the former army must rely on their own strength to hold on until the Chinese army can free their hands.

With Lu Yao's order, the entire Chinese army stopped, and then gradually took place in accordance with the orders of officers at all levels, and the sonorous footsteps were like a giant snake crawling with scales shaking its scale armor and coiling its body.

At this moment there was a small river in the north and south of their place, and both rivers were branches of the water, which flowed from the northwest and southwest respectively, and after merging in one place in the east, they continued to wind their way to the northeast. The river was not wide, and the water was shallow, but it was enough to hinder the rapid advance of the cavalry. Between the two rivers is an irregular triangular flat land, which is suitable for the army.

Chu Kun dismounted with about a thousand soldiers and formed a phalanx in the open area to the west. The soldiers in the first row raised their shields half a man high, and the soldiers in the second and third rows put their spears on the shields. The crossbowmen in the fourth row plunged their arrows into the ground in front of them, so that they could be reached at any time. These soldiers rode pack horses, and in addition to carrying men, they also carried some wooden stakes, which were then tied into horses to block the open space between the small rivers. Another dismounted team was led by Jiang Li, with about 500 men as a reserve, ready to be used to prevent the enemy from crossing the river and attacking. The main cavalry force was placed behind the flanks of the phalanx, which could either charge and kill the enemy crossing the river, or attack through the infantry phalanx.

Lu Yao and other generals stopped on a slightly higher slope in the center of the flat. Several pro-soldiers ran forward and backward for a while, raising the Chinese army's land banner high.

Xue Tong's rear army was a little farther away, and there were some vehicles and the like accompanying them, and they arrived in a hurry after the Chinese army was formed. Chu Kun hurriedly opened the road and put them in the inner circle

Xue Tong dismounted, ran uphill and asked loudly, "Daoming, what's the situation?" ”

Lu Yao sat on the Hu bed and said lightly: "The Xianbei people have seen through our plan, Ding Wenhao's troops have been ambushed. Lao Xue, you and your people should take a rest first and recuperate their physical strength. I guess there's going to be a big fight this time. ”

Xue Tong was about to respond, when he suddenly felt the ground tremble slightly, and all the blades of grass trembled.

"It's coming!" Everyone looked up at the same time, and only saw a black sea rolling in on the northwest plain.
