An important town in the southwest of Taiyuan country, Pingtao.

On the plain twenty miles south of the city, the main force of the Jinyang army fought fiercely with the rebellious general Huyan Hao of the Xiongnu Liu Han, and had been fighting fiercely for several days, and this day was no exception.

Although Hu Yanhao was a well-known fierce general of the Huns, compared with Yue Shigong, his battlefield decision-making ability was too far behind. In the battle a few days ago, he suffered a small loss at the hands of the Jin army.

In today's battle, Hu Yanhao divided the troops into three formations: front, middle and rear. The front was mainly composed of several groups of Karasuma cavalry, with the purpose of testing 'sexual' contact. The central array was the most powerful, and the armies of the subordinate tribes were concentrated here, extending along the tributaries of Fenshui to the two wings. Hu Yanhao personally led thousands of Xiongnu people to sit in the rear formation, ready to enter the battle according to the changes in the situation.

This is a complete defensive formation. With nearly twice the strength of the force, they had to take a defensive position, and the generals at all levels were quite dissatisfied, but after the end of the war began, the Huns soon fell into a passive situation again.

Hu Yanhao was anxious. He sent envoys one after another to rebuke the generals in front of him, but he could not reverse the unfavorable situation. Several of the tribes were afraid of heavy losses in their armed forces, and they clearly showed signs of slackness. Hu Yanhao was furious about this, but he couldn't help those tribal leaders for a while, so he had to send his own 'elite' soldiers to stabilize the battle situation.

Although the number of Jinyang troops is small, they take the 'elite' elite who followed Yue Shigong into the army as the core force, and their combat effectiveness is very strong. At the same time, they relied on the commander's 'fine' and accurate prediction and 'brilliant' battlefield command to firmly grasp the initiative. In each key area, the Jin army was able to invest superior forces in time and gradually disperse the Huns' front.

The right flank of the battlefield was Liu Kun's intended breakthrough. He sent his own personal guard commander Lin Jian and his subordinates' 'elite' to storm the enemy forces on this side.

In just half an hour, Lin Jian entered the enemy formation four times in a row. It's like a giant swinging a sledgehammer and slamming a solid iron wedge into the wood again and again. Wherever the men and horses went, the blood 'waves' were churning, and the enemy troops retreated.

After several fierce battles, Lin Jian's face was dyed black and red by blood, sweat, and dust, and the extremely deep knife wound in front of his left 'chest' was only briefly bandaged, and the blood and flesh turned out were exposed, which was very terrifying.

"Rush again! Rush again, and you're sure to succeed! Lin Jian looked at the queue of the Huns, gritted his teeth and turned back: "How is it?" At the beginning, there were nearly 100 people from Liu Kunhu's army behind him, and there were only 30 people left at the moment, but their will to fight was not weakened in the slightest, and none of them had the intention of retreating.

A moment later, Lin Jian glanced at a gap in the enemy formation and rushed over.

He turned sideways to pass the spear, grabbed the handle, and raised his hand to cut off the enemy's arm. Then he strode forward, kicking the blood-sprayed armless body forward, knocking out two other enemies. Just as he was about to pursue, he suddenly heard the evil wind behind his head. At the moment of lightning, Lin Jian didn't even have time to look back, and the instinct cultivated from countless births and deaths made him bend down suddenly.

A powerful force swept over the back, which was the mace 'stick' that the Hu people were accustomed to. If this heavy weapon were to be smashed squarely, even a bison would break tendons and fractures. Fortunately, Lin Jian hid quickly and earned his 'life' by a fraction of a margin. Rao was like this, the wolf fangs still tore Lin Jian's leather armor, and a large piece of skin was torn away.

Lin Jian screamed, swung his knife with his backhand, and stabbed to death the enemy general who made the mace. His subordinates also rushed forward at this time, and with a loud bang, the two armies slammed into one place like two giant beasts that had lost their lives. Just at the moment when the two armies collided, more than 50 soldiers were killed or wounded.

Soon, Lin Jian found that his judgment was not wrong. Although the momentum of the Huns was fierce at first, they soon 'revealed' that they were not strong enough. This area is indeed the weak point of the Hu People's Front! Lin Jian yelled, and after slashing several Hu soldiers one after another, the pressure around him suddenly lightened!

He stood with his long knife and looked around. I saw that the surrounding enemies were 'chaotic' and 'chaotic', and more and more Jin troops rushed into the Huns' array through the gap he opened.

"Hahaha! Good! Good! Lin Jian looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, and pointed before waving his knife: "Brothers, come with me!" A large number of Jin soldiers followed him closely behind and launched a swift lateral assault on the Huns who relied on the river to defend them.

As the situation on the right flank gradually became favorable, the Jin army gradually gained the upper hand on several other battlefields. On the left flank, the brave general Lu Bosheng led more than 1,000 'fine' cavalry to outflank him from afar, and was about to form a two-sided attack. In the central battlefield, Pang Chun, Zhang Yi and other generals took turns to rush and kill, forcing the Hun army to retreat again and again.

Liu Kun, the assassin of the state state, set up the base camp of the army on a gentle slope. He himself stood high on the 'bed' of Hu, and fought with the Ruyi army sprinkled with gold and 'jade'. With the continuous issuance of orders, the Chinese military drums and trumpets sounded frequently, the heralds galloped back and forth, and a brave general immediately led the troops to attack and retreat. As far as the eye can see, countless banners are hunting and waving all over the battlefield, and the arrows in the air are as dense as flying locusts. Thousands of troops and horses resisted the clash to the death, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

General Han Shu was by Liu Kun's side, looking at the situation on the battlefield from afar, and said optimistically: "The Hu people's position is 'chaotic', and in one more hour, our army will be completely victorious." ”

Liu Kun stroked his dark beard, although he didn't answer, his expression was quite self-conscious.

The other general was about to speak when he heard someone behind the camp shouting an urgent military report, and then there was a commotion.

Everyone looked back in unison, but saw a man riding a horse rushing up the hill like a spark. The sharp-eyed recognized that the knight who was in the dust was Guo Pan, a subordinate of Wang Xiu and a Yangqu man who was engaged in Wang Xiu's bow and horse in Bingzhou. Wang Xiu was a personal general of Yue Shigong, and he was stationed in Shangdang for a long time to monitor the movements of the Hu people in Hanoi, why did his subordinates come here? Many people suddenly had a bad feeling.

Guo Pan ran to the nearest place and dismounted, his feet were weak, and he almost rolled to the ground. He staggered a few steps forward and shouted in a hoarse voice, "My lord! Lord! Big things are not good! Hu Ren...... Hu Dajun took the party! ”

"Huh? What the? Not good! The staff and attendants were silent for a moment, and then exclaimed in surprise.

Wasn't the Hu army blocked by the two sides of the Qi Strait, how could they have the strength to take the party? The party is lost, and Jinyang is in danger; There are only weak troops left in Jinyang City, can they hold it? In case Jinyang falls, the main force of the Jin army on the front line will be attacked by the enemy, and it will become a fish in the kettle, what should I do next? …… Countless questions burst out of their minds, each of which had no answers. Many people were busy asking Guo Pan, and there was a big 'chaos' for a while.

Liu Kun frowned, then slowly stood up and coughed heavily.

As a result of Shi Jiwei, the surroundings were suddenly quiet again. Liu Kun came to Guo Pan with his hands behind his back and said indifferently: "What are you panicking about? Speak slowly and clearly! ”

Guo Pan kowtowed, took a moment of respite and said: "Lord Qiqi, three days ago, the Yokono general Long Jimeng colluded with the Huns, and the inside and outside should jointly present the party to the enemy. Our troops were scattered in various walled cities, failed to assemble to resist the enemy, and suffered heavy losses. Liu He, the Xiongnu Zuoxian King, led tens of thousands of troops, broke through the key passes along the way, and went straight to Jinyang. ”

Liu Kun bowed slightly, and his expression did not change much. After thinking about it, he asked again, "Where is Hu Ren at this moment?" ”

"The day before yesterday, Wang Xiu was engaged in patrolling the Wuxiang area, and when he had to report that the Hu people had passed Xiangyuan. We encountered enemy scouts and fought to the death. Judging from the speed of their march, they will reach the city of Jinyang at this time. ”

"Hiss......" Even on the battlefield where thousands of troops are galloping, the sound of dozens of people pouring cold air together is still clearly audible.

Liu Kun took a step forward and asked carefully. That Guo Pan suddenly fell to the ground and fainted. After he and Wang Xiu and others discovered the movements of the Huns the day before yesterday, they first fought hard, and then they did not sleep and drove hundreds of miles to report the news, and it was really time to run out of oil and dry up. Barely supported until now, I can't hold on anymore.

Everyone hurriedly called the medical officer to come for treatment.

Liu Kun didn't pay attention to these trivial matters, just paced back and forth in a deep groan.

Xu Run suddenly came out of the ranks, he gave a deep salute, and said in a sly voice: "Lord, Long Jimeng is a person recommended by his subordinates. I thought this guy was good, but I never thought that he was a thief with wolf ambitions! The subordinates mistakenly believed in the 'traitor', which put the whole army in danger...... I know that my sins are unforgivable, and I only want to die! At this point, he suddenly drew his sword, intending to kill himself.

Where did everyone react, seeing the blade of the sword and the 'meat', only a few people pounced at the same time, protecting Xu Run with all hands and feet. Luckily, it didn't hurt the trachea and blood vessels, but it cut a lot of blood. The medical officer was checking Guo Pan's pulse, and when Xu Run committed suicide, he was in a hurry for a while.

After a long time, when he finally made sure that Xu Run was fine, Liu Kun waved his hand and asked him to help him down: "This is not a crime of recommendation, Xu Zhonglang really blames himself too much." ”

He kept pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, and did not say anything more. Everyone around them waited with bated breath, and there was silence.

Although it was a critical moment for the military situation, Liu Kun burst out of some irrelevant things in his mind: the whole army is now in danger, and the reason for this is that he mistakenly placed Long Jimeng, a 'traitor', in an important position. Although Xu Run was a counselor from the middle and made suggestions, but after all, it was his own negligence in employing people, and at this moment Xu Run jumped out and received the charge, which saved him a lot of embarrassment.

"Xu Zhiquan is really interesting." He said secretly in his heart.

As for how to deal with the current situation...... Liu Kun continued to think.

Many people's eyes were fixed on Liu Kun's calm face, expecting him to solve all difficulties as usual. However, Liu Kun himself knew that Liu Yuan's move was too ruthless, too dangerous, and too unexpected. In a moment's work, Liu Kun has planned seventeen or eighteen coping strategies, but after careful calculation, none of them are effective. Jin Yangjun was completely in a desperate situation this time, and he had no choice.

Unless...... Unless you can hold Jinyang. No, it's not enough to just hold Jinyang. Holding Jinyang is nothing more than extending the war into a war of attrition. The shallow foundation accumulated in the past few months can't withstand consumption at all, and it only takes a few rounds of tug-of-war, and it will definitely be defeated.

Therefore, it is necessary to defeat the troops and horses of Liu He, the king of Zuoxian, neatly in order to fight for a glimmer of life for the stormy Jinyang army. But now, where did he get his troops?

If only there were 10,000 horses! Even, another 5,000 centaurs would be enough. If Jinyang can have 5,000 'elite' soldiers left behind, it may not be impossible to reverse the situation. Thinking of this, Liu Kun couldn't help but be resentful of his predecessor. Dongying Gong's house was really hateful, and he was afraid of the enemy and fled, so he actually took 20,000 military and civilian households from the state to go down to Shandong. If those 20,000 families of soldiers and civilians are still alive, why is this happening?

There were thousands of thoughts in his chest, but Liu Kun's face was not nervous at all, and he walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, as if he was holding a pearl of wisdom. Every move is exactly like the words that are brewed before giving orders. However, if you look closely, you will find that there is already a slight cold sweat on his forehead.

There is no way to survive in advance and retreat, perhaps the whole army can only continue to go south, fight heroically with the Huns, and seek a place to die? Liu Kun shook his head imperceptibly. The anxiety in his heart continued to accumulate, and he only heard a soft sound of "click", and the gold-sprinkled 'jade' Ruyi held in his right hand was subconsciously broken.

At this moment, only to hear the commotion in the rear of the camp again, another messenger rode his horse and whipped up, and rushed straight forward.
