Chapter 306: Defeat

Following Lan Hu's order, the herald who had been following Lan Hu quickly took out his Divine Arm Repeater and shot two loud arrows into the sky. At the same time, he raised his general's flag and ran towards the hillside behind Lan Hu.

The sound of arrows pierced the sky and resounded throughout the sky. All the Jianwei cavalry realized that this was an order to retreat, so everyone immediately turned their horses and chased the general's flag.

The cavalry can run faster than the infantry anyway, and the slaves' execution ability is not that strong, so they can't bite the Jianwei cavalry, and the Jianwei cavalry quickly breaks out of the encirclement.

The Jianwei cavalry once again gathered on the hillside, and Lan Hu breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Yu Hao gave him the sounding arrows, and he had previously trained the Jianwei troops on how to judge the general's orders through the sounding arrows, so the Jianwei cavalry reacted the moment he issued the order.

However, although the Jianwei cavalry withdrew, there were still more than a thousand casualties, which made Lan Hu very heartbroken.

Seeing that Jianwei's cavalry had run away, the Huns general became furious and once again threatened the slaves with bows and arrows, causing the slaves to rush up the hillside.

But this time, Lan Hu learned the lesson wisely. When the slaves chased him, he ran away with the Jianwei cavalry. When he ran out of the shooting range of the Huns' bows and arrows, he turned back to collect the chasing slaves.

Seeing that one hundred thousand slaves were about to be killed by Jianwei's cavalry, the Xiongnu generals were furious.

However, he could only act in a hurry and did not have the courage to break out of the camp and fight the Jianwei cavalry.



At the same time, battle reports were also sent to the city wall of Jianmen Pass.

"Report! The Xiongnu left and right battalions launched a counterattack, and the Eighth Gan Army and the Sanyang Army are fighting against the enemy with all their strength!"

"The Huns reserve battalion cooperated with 10,000 cavalry to launch a counterattack against the front army!"

"The front army formation was broken up by the cavalry and fell into a bitter battle!"

"The front army was defeated and suffered heavy casualties. The Xiongnu reserve camp retreated, and the cavalry troops divided into two groups and rushed towards the left and right camps!"

Hearing this, Liu Changdao's eyes widened immediately. He never expected that it was Lu Xiaoming, whom he was most assured of, who had a problem.

Everyone thought that the Huns would still have remaining cavalry, but the number would definitely not be large.

However, the result also confirmed everyone's guess, the Huns only had 10,000 cavalry left.

Moreover, before going to battle, everyone had already set up many plans to deal with the Huns cavalry. How could Lu Xiaoming's former army be defeated so quickly?

Zhu An on the side also frowned and said with regret: "The number of front troops responsible for the main attack was too small, and nearly half of the troops were consumed by the Xiongnu's vanguard battalion, which became a breakthrough."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Changdao suddenly realized and regretted: "I should not have left a hundred thousand troops to defend the city. If Lu Xiaoming had led an army of two hundred thousand troops at that time, he would not have caused such a huge disaster when he attacked the Pioneer Camp.

Casualties, let alone because of insufficient troops, the encirclement was torn apart by a mere 10,000 cavalry."

Zhu An shook his head and said, "General Liu, it's too late to say anything now. We just have to see whether the Eighth Gan Army and the Sanyang Army can open up the situation."

Although the former army has been destroyed, as long as any of the Eighth Army and Sanyang Army can invade the Xiongnu camp, there will still be a chance to annihilate the Xiongnu!

Liu Changdao nodded, quickly looked at the scouts on the side, and asked: "How is the situation of the Sanyang Army and the Eighth Army?"

"Back to General, there is no news yet!"

As soon as the scout finished speaking, another scout ran over and said anxiously: "Report! The Sanyang Army and the Eighth Army were attacked by the Huns' cavalry and fell into a bitter battle!"

"What? The Huns only have 10,000 cavalry, and if they divide their forces to fight, they can only have 5,000. How did the Sanyang Army and the Eighth Army fall into a bitter battle? Are they useless?" Liu Changdao asked with his eyes wide open.

The scout had a bitter look on his face and said truthfully: "The Huns cavalry appeared too suddenly. The Eight Gan Army and Sanyang Army did not react at all. They were caught off guard. In addition, the left and right battalions of the Huns also launched a counterattack. The two armies were attacked from both sides. , heavy losses!”

"What about the Jianwei cavalry?" Liu Changdao looked very ugly. He never expected that the battle situation would develop like this.

"The Huns have divided the battlefield, and we can't contact the Jianwei cavalry." The scout said truthfully.

At this time, Lu Xiaoming's front army was defeated, and the Eighth Army and Sanyang Army were bitten by the Huns. The entire situation was under the control of the Huns. They wanted to cross the battlefield to contact Jianwei who was behind the Huns camp. Cavalry is really difficult.

"Commander, if we continue to fight, we may be defeated. Please withdraw your troops quickly!" Zhu An seemed to have thought of something and said quickly.

Zhu An originally thought that the Sanyang Army and the Bagan Army could open up the situation, but he did not expect that these two armies, with a hundred thousand people, were surrounded by less than 60,000 Huns. It was really embarrassing.

But think about it, the fighting power of the Eighth Army and the Sanyang Army is not strong in the first place. In addition, Yin Tian and Hu Shen are both eager for quick success. When they compete for credit, they can run faster than anyone else. In a real fight, they are like weak. They are like shrimps, so it’s surprising that they can beat the Huns!

Hearing that Zhu An was about to withdraw his troops, Liu Changdao immediately hesitated. If he withdrew at this time, wouldn't it be too shameful?

You know, the reason why the Huns could not defeat the Huns before was because the Huns had war horses. Now the Huns only have 10,000 cavalry left, and the rest are infantry. And they have an army of 400,000, but they still cannot defeat the Huns.

If this spreads out, not only will he be ridiculed by the people in the court, but he, the defender of Jianmen Pass, may not be able to do it anymore.

At this time, Liu Changdao wanted to give Zhu An two slaps. At first, it was Zhu An who said he would hit him, but now it is Zhu An who said he should withdraw. This time, he was hurt badly by Zhu An.

In fact, I really don’t blame Zhu An for this. After all, Zhu An would never have thought that the Eighth Gan Army and the Sanyang Army would be so useless. Even if one hundred thousand people attacked fifty thousand people and could not attack them for a long time, they were actually surrounded by counterattacks.

"Master General, now is not the time to hesitate. If even the Eighth Army and the Sanyang Army are eaten, Jianmen Pass will be in danger!" Zhu An said anxiously.

Now there are only 100,000 defenders left at Jianmen Pass. Once the Eight Gan Army and Sanyang Army are annihilated, the Huns can attack Jianmen Pass in one go.

And what chance did the 100,000-strong army with low morale in Jianmen Pass face the wolf-like Huns army to win?

Just when Liu Changdao issued the order for Yin Tian and Hu Shen to lead their troops to retreat, a man dressed as an escort was brought to Liu Changdao and Zhu An by the scouts.

"General, this person claims to be a subordinate of Master Yu Hao. He has important matters to meet with you!" the captain explained.

The man dressed as a bodyguard also quickly raised his hands and said: "Third prince, Lord Commander, my name is Arita. It was Lord Yu who sent me to remind Lord Commander that you must not divide your troops to fight, but must assemble an army of 400,000 to annihilate it in one fell swoop. Huns."

Hearing this, Liu Changdao's eyes flashed with disappointment, as if he had aged ten years in an instant, and said with an ugly face: "It's a pity that you are late, the battle has already begun, and our side has suffered heavy losses."
