Chapter 653 Pretend to be defeated
After receiving Qin Hu's order, Li Junxian immediately accelerated his march, and soon led another 10,000 troops to the Yan army camp thirty miles outside Xia County.
Li Junxian chose to set up camp elsewhere, and then went to see Li Mi and said respectfully: "Mi Gong, the last general Li Junxian has been ordered to come to support."
Li Mi was in a bad mood and felt ashamed: "I'm sorry to trouble you. I didn't expect that this battle was fought so cowardly. I, Li Mi, couldn't even defeat Lu Chongmao."
Li Junxian said: "Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists, so don't worry about it. When I came here, King Yan also told me that this time I could only lose but not win."
Li Mi knew that Qin Hu used troops treacherously, so he didn't ask many questions. He was afraid that Qin Hu would be suspicious of him, so he left room for many things and just listened to the arrangement.
Yuchi Gong immediately received the news of the Yan army's reinforcements, but he heard that there were not many troops and horses, so he was not too worried and did not report it to Song Jingang.
However, it was very awkward for them to stay in Xia County, because there was no food in Xia County to begin with, and there were tens of thousands more mouths, which was not enough to eat.
But Liu Wuzhou was unwilling to ask Liu Wuzhou to get the food by himself. His original purpose was to help Lu Chongmao fight the war, and no one would be willing to do so unless he gave some blood.
But there was nothing Lu Chongmao could do, he really had no food rations.
Yu Chigong said to Lu Chongmao: "My Dingyang Khan sent tens of thousands of troops to support the king. It's just that the king didn't say to give our soldiers some rewards. Now they don't even give food. My soldiers are already complaining.
Everyone is clamoring to go back."
Lu Chongmao didn't expect Qin Hu to think of him at all. He figured that if Qin Hu was so smart, you would beat him if he didn't come back for a while. And he could live a good life for a few years relying on Liu Wuzhou, so
I don’t usually save any food, so where can I grab it now?
"General Yuchi, I really have no choice. I have thought of all the ways I can think of. The Yan army is tightly defended, so I really have no choice."
Yuchi Gong said again: "Then, can you share all the loot from the past few days with us?" Lu Chongmao was even more reluctant to part with it. You know, there were thousands of sets of armors and weapons.
So he remained silent.
This move caused Yuchi Gonghe to be dissatisfied with his boss. If he hadn't followed Song Jingang's strict order, he would have gone back home. After a while, Ashina Zhen couldn't hold it back and said: "Then kill the cows and sheep.
It's okay to reward the three armies. We finally won the war. Once the soldiers are dissatisfied, mutiny is no joke."
"I'm really stretched."
Yuchi Gong and Ashina really looked at each other, with disdain and anger in their eyes, and then everyone left unhappy. Lu Chongmao felt that his tricks were good, but he didn't know that Yuchi Gong and Ashina really
I already have thoughts of abandoning him.
After returning, Yuchi Gong said to Ashina Zhen: "We have only two ways to go. One is to defeat the Yan army quickly and decisively, and the other is to leave this miserable place as soon as possible."
Ashina really knew these two routes without him having to tell them, so they finally discussed and decided to launch a general attack on the Yan army early tomorrow morning. But there was one condition.
"What, let my army serve as the forward?" Lu Chongmao's first reaction was to wave his hand: "My army has weak combat effectiveness and is not suitable to serve as the forward and main attack."
Ashina really rolled her eyes: "Is your home being invaded now, or our home being invaded? Who is Qin Hu coming to fight? If you don't pay or contribute, then why don't you give us the city?
Forget it, Yang Khan."
Lu Chongmao saw that the expressions on their faces were not good, and he was afraid that the two barbarians would be aroused and take his city directly, so he could only agree.
In fact, Yu Chigong and Ashina's move was really a bad idea. They only thought about not taking advantage of Lu Chongmao and forgot about the overall situation.
Lu Chongmao's army was too weak. It would collapse at the front and easily lead to a counterattack. At that time, even a supervising team would be of no use.
In the early morning, Li Junxian received a report from the scouts. They saw on the large watchtower that the enemy camp opposite had frequent troop movements and was already gathering troops.
Immediately he and Li Mi understood that they were going to take the initiative to attack. So they did not hesitate, immediately formed their formation and marched out of the camp.
The quality of the Yan army was much better than theirs. They had strict time requirements for wearing armor and lining up. If there was any violation, they would be punished with a military stick or beheaded.
So even though they started to prepare first, they fell behind the Yan army, and the team they pulled out was swaying and not in line.
Especially Lu Chongmao's men at the front.
Li Junxian and Li Mi looked at each other, both feeling that something was not quite right.
Li Junxian said to Li Mi: "Mi Gong is a civil servant and is not good at fighting immediately. The general understands very well. It is better to let the general command the forward army and leave Mi Gong to guard the rear army. When we want to retreat, Mi Gong will guide the rear army to change."
Front troops, hold your position, avoid casualties, and evacuate calmly, I don't know what you want."
Li Junxian said it politely, but Li Mi sneered in his heart. Since he came to the front line, Li Mi has basically retreated to the second line. This is his wise way of protecting himself.
"Okay, listen to the general."
After Li Mi left, Li Junxian began to worry. It would be very difficult for him to defeat the army like the opposite, unless he committed suicide. It was really worrying.
He also knew that King Yan had laid out a grand strategy. If he won, it would be meaningless. The worst he could do would be to occupy a third- and fourth-tier city like Xia County that had no food and resources and could not be defended. If he could not capture Song Jingang alive, he would have to force him to do so.
The great goal of killing Liu Wuzhou.
"Lu Chongmao went to battle in person." The flag officer suddenly pointed to the front and said.
Li Junxian thought to himself, so what, he couldn't be killed or captured anyway.
At this time, the sound of war drums suddenly came from Lu Chongmao's military formation. His big banner was dancing, and he pointed forward, and the army suddenly charged forward.
"Meet the enemy." Li Junxian also raised his hand, and the soldiers rushed forward quickly.
As soon as the two sides met, it felt like Lu Chongmao's army was exposed as if it were made of paper, and the Yan army poured into the formation like a tide.
Fortunately, the Mayi army behind them was very elite. After Li Junxian killed for a while, he ordered the troops to retreat, and the Yan army returned to the same route as the tide receded.
However, even if they pretend to be defeated and defeated without chaos, such a counterattack will still cause some casualties, including hundreds of people who are trampled to death and chased and stabbed to death.
After they escaped back to the camp, they immediately launched their archers onto the wall and fired javelins to drive back the pursuers.
Fortunately, Lu Chongmao did not dare to pursue him, and Yuchi Gong and Ashina Zhen were not willing to waste their lives for Lu Chongmao, so they quickly withdrew.
