The advantage of the Huns is that they have strong individual combat ability, and each of the Hun cavalry is brave and unparalleled, and they are also brave and abnormal when fighting, relying on the advantage of speed, and repeatedly impacting the defense line of the Jin army.

The Jin army was completely on the defensive, although the cavalry of the Jin army countered the Hun cavalry from both flanks, but still could not stop the fierce offensive of the Huns, and now the Jin infantry corps was under great pressure, and they had to resist the onslaught of the Huns, if the front was torn apart, it would be irreparable disaster.

The spears formed a dense forest of guns, and any Hun cavalry that tried to charge would be pierced into countless holes, and the dense rain of arrows overhead also effectively killed and injured the living force of the Huns.

However, in the face of the Huns who were not afraid of death, the battle formation of the Jin army was still in danger of overturning, and a single cavalry may not pose any threat to the spear battle formation, but when the cavalry of ten thousand horses galloping like a rainbow poured up, the spear array, the flood control embankment, would be subjected to the most severe test.

The offensive of the Hun cavalry was like a rising tide, wave after wave, relying on the huge impact brought by the speed, and pounced on the position of the Jin army again and again.

Liu Yuan's face showed a satisfied smile, the development of the battlefield situation was completely within his expectations, although the deadlock had not yet been broken, but the Huns completely took the initiative, and with the passage of time, this advantage could be transformed into victory sooner or later.

But at this moment, a soldier hurriedly reported to him: "King Qiqi, the traces of the Shu army have been found on the flank of our army in the southwest, and they are rapidly attacking this side. ”

"What?" Liu Yuan was shocked, what he feared most had happened, he had been closely watching the movements of the Shu army in Tunliu, and only when he confirmed that the Shu army had no signs of action did he decide to have a decisive battle with the Jin army.

What is the most taboo thing about the decisive battle? It is the belly and back that are attacked. Now the Huns are doing their best to deal with the Jin army, almost all of his main forces are staked, if the flank is attacked at this time, the Huns have to divide their troops and horses to deal with it, and on the main battlefield in a state of stalemate, the Huns want to take it again, and the hope is slim.

Liu Yuan frowned, didn't he say that the Jin and Shu people had not reached a joint force, why did the Shu army send troops at this time? Why was the offensive against the Huns from the flanks?

The sudden appearance of the Shu army completely disrupted Liu Yuan's strategic deployment, and also completely shattered Liu Yuan's hopes.

For today's battle, Liu Yuan made careful and full preparations, and in the battle, the Xiongnu army also paid a great price, if the Jin army could not be completely defeated, then all Liu Yuan's previous efforts would be in vain, this result made Liu Yuan very acceptable.

But Liu Yuan is not a person who is willful, and he knows that he still insists on fighting under unfavorable circumstances. That one was the act of a brave barbarian, and Liu Yuan quickly made a comprehensive judgment of the situation in his mind.

The Jin army has a strength of 90,000 people, leaving aside the Beidi Hu army, which has lost its combat effectiveness, the Jin army still has 70,000 horses, and the ratio of foot and cavalry is about two to one, while the Shu army has 40,000 horses, although it is not clear what the number of this attack is, but it is definitely not too little, and there are almost more than 10,000 cavalry alone. Now there is no doubt that the strength of the Shu army and the Jin army will surpass the Huns in total number.

More importantly, the Huns had to fight on both sides, and the pressure was very great, and when victory became hopeless, there was no point in continuing to fight, and the risk of defeat increased indefinitely.

Liu Yuan sighed, what a failure!

Liu Yin stood at a relatively high position, from here you can see the whole battlefield from a bird's eye view, although in the south the Xiongnu have achieved an overwhelming advantage over the Jin army, but in the southwest, the Shu army has begun to attack the flank of the Huns.

The attack of the Shu army was quite sharp, and this was where the Huns were weakest, and the Shu army was rampage all the way, as if entering a no-man's land.

If the Shu army was allowed to attack wantonly, the Huns' defense line would definitely suffer heavy losses, but if the main cavalry besieging the Jin army was transferred over, not to mention that it would cause great confusion in the formation, and it was likely to be counterattacked by the Jin army due to the weakness of the middle force.

The scales of victory, imperceptibly, have tilted in the opposite direction.

"Summons the order to go down and withdraw!" Liu Yuan had no choice but to give the order to retreat, this kind of war of attrition without seeing victory and meaninglessness is useless to fight, in this case, it is better to retreat first and then make a calculation.

At the sound of the order, the Huns retreated like a tide. Since the Xiongnu were basically cavalry-based, they came like clouds when they came and went like the wind, and they soon all broke away from the battle.

Yanghu was directing the battle in the infantry formation, and in the face of rounds of strong attacks by the Huns, Yanghu commanded the Jin army to grit their teeth and stick to the front, never allowing the Hun cavalry to take this step forward.

This battle, but also indeed to the most critical time, as long as the Jin army is a little relaxed, it is likely that the entire line of defense will collapse, Yanghu deeply felt that the situation is pressing, and did not hesitate to risk the danger to the front line to command the battle, the Jin army soldiers in the commander of the inspiration, but also burst out of the amazing fighting spirit, sacrifice their lives to fight, desperately resist the attack of the Huns.

But suddenly, this pressure disappeared abruptly, and the Jin army and soldiers, including Yanghu, were surprised, it stands to reason that now the Huns have the advantage, and there is no reason to suddenly give up the attack and retreat on all fronts.

Yanghu soon got the report, only to learn that it was the Shu army that attacked the Huns from the flank, and the Huns had to retreat in order to avoid being attacked on their backs.

After hearing the report, Yanghu was silent, if it wasn't for Liu Yin to help this time, then it was really difficult to predict who would die in this battle, and the Jin army was indeed almost stretched to the limit, so to speak, it was Liu Yin who helped him again.

Although the two sides did not reach any agreement, at the critical moment, Liu Yin still made a move, which made Yanghu really emotional. Although Liu Yin also has an emperor on the top of his head, but the emperor is far away, Liu Yin has the most important decision-making power in the army, he can do whatever he wants, but unfortunately Yanghu he can't, the emperor of the Jin State is not far away to give orders, without Sima Yan's approval, Yanghu can hardly do anything.

"Dudu, the Huns have retreated, are they pursuing?" Chen Yuan asked. (To be continued.) )
