The last three kingdoms

Chapter 845

The advantage of the Huns lies in their strong individual combat capabilities. Every Hun cavalry is unparalleled in bravery, and they are also extremely brave in battle. Relying on their speed advantage, they hit the Jin army's defense line again and again.

The Jin army was completely on the defensive. Although the cavalry of the Jin army countered the Huns cavalry from both wings, they still could not stop the fierce offensive of the Huns. Now the Jin army infantry regiment is under great pressure, and they must be able to resist The violent attack of the Huns, if the front line is torn apart, it will be an irreparable disaster.

The long spears formed a dense forest of guns, and any Hun cavalry who tried to charge would be pierced with countless holes, and the dense rain of arrows above their heads also powerfully killed the Huns' vital forces.

However, in front of the Huns who are not afraid of death, the battle formation of the Jin army is still in danger of overturning. A single cavalry may not pose any threat to the battle formation of long spears, but the cavalry with galloping horses rushing like a rainbow surges like a tide. When it comes up, the Long Spear Formation, the flood control embankment, will undergo the most severe test.

The offensive of the Xiongnu cavalry was like a rising tide, one wave after another, relying on the huge impact brought by the speed, they rushed towards the Jin army's position again and again.

There was a satisfied smile on Liu Yuan's face. The development of the battlefield situation was completely within his expectation. Although the stalemate had not been broken, the Huns completely took the initiative. As time went by, this advantage was Sooner or later, it can be transformed into a victory.

But at this moment, a soldier hurriedly reported to him: "My lord, we found traces of the Shu army on the flank of our army in the southwest, and they are attacking here quickly."

"What?" Liu Yuan was taken aback in horror. What he was most worried about happened. He had been closely watching the movements of the Shu army stationed in Liuzhou. Make a decisive battle.

What is the most taboo thing in a decisive battle?It is the enemy.Now the Huns are doing their best to deal with the Jin army, and almost all of his main force has been pushed up. If the flanks are attacked at this time, the Huns will have to send troops to deal with it. On the main battlefield that is in a stalemate, the Huns If everyone wants to win again, the hope will be slim.

Liu Yuan frowned. Didn't it mean that the people of Jin and Shu didn't join forces? Why did the Shu army send troops at this time?Why did they launch an offensive against the Huns from the flank?

The sudden appearance of the Shu army completely disrupted Liu Yuan's strategic deployment, and completely shattered Liu Yuan's hope. What to do next, Liu Yuan will face another painful decision.

For today's battle, Liu Yuan made careful and sufficient preparations, and in the battle, the Xiongnu army also paid a huge price. If the Jin army cannot be completely defeated, then all Liu Yuan's previous efforts will be in vain. In vain, this result is very acceptable to Liu Yuan.

But Liu Yuan is not a person who is motivated, knowing that he will continue to fight even under unfavorable circumstances.That one was the work of a barbarian showing off his bravery. Liu Yuan quickly made a comprehensive judgment on the situation in his mind.

The Jin army has a strength of 9 troops. Leaving aside the northern Hu army that has lost its combat effectiveness, the Jin army still has 7 horses, and the ratio of infantry and cavalry is about 4:1, while the Shu army has [-] horses. What is the number, but it will definitely not be too small. There are almost [-] cavalrymen alone.There is no doubt that the total strength of the Shu army and the Jin army exceeds that of the Huns.

The more important thing is that the Huns had to fight on both sides, and they were under great pressure. When victory became hopeless, it was meaningless to continue fighting, and the risk of failure increased infinitely.

Liu Yuan let out a long sigh, the effort fell short!

Liu Yin stood at a relatively high position. From here, he could see the entire battlefield from a bird’s-eye view. Although the Xiongnu had gained an overwhelming advantage over the Jin army in the south, the Shu army had already begun to attack the Huns’ flanks in the southwest. .

The attack of the Shu army was quite sharp, and this was where the Huns were weakest.

If the Shu army is allowed to attack wantonly, the Huns' defense line will definitely suffer heavy losses, but if the main cavalry that besieged the Jin army is transferred over, not to mention that it will cause chaos in the formation, and it is likely that due to the The strength became weak and was counterattacked by the Jin army.

Unknowingly, the scale of victory has tipped in the opposite direction.

"Proceed with the order and withdraw!" Liu Yuan gave the order to retreat helplessly. This kind of meaningless war of attrition with no victory in sight is useless. In this case, it is better to retreat first and then worry about it.

With one order, the Huns retreated like a tide.Since the Huns were basically cavalry, they came like clouds and went like wind, so they all left the battle very quickly.

Yang Hu was commanding the battle in the infantry formation. Facing the rounds of strong attacks from the Huns, Yang Hu commanded the Jin army to grit their teeth and stick to the front line, never letting the Huns cavalry take this step forward.

This battle has indeed reached the most critical moment. As long as the Jin army relaxes a little, the entire defense line may collapse. Encouraged by the coach, the soldiers also burst out with amazing fighting spirit, and fought with their lives, desperately resisting the attack of the Huns.

But suddenly, this pressure suddenly disappeared, and the soldiers of the Jin army, including Yang Hu, were surprised. It stands to reason that now that the Huns have the upper hand, it makes no sense to suddenly give up their attack and retreat across the board.

Yang Hu soon got the report, and only then did he know that the Shu army had attacked the Huns from the flank, and the Huns had no choice but to retreat in order to avoid being attacked by the enemy.

After hearing the report, Yang Hu fell silent. If Liu Yin hadn't extended a helping hand this time, it would be really hard to predict who would win the battle, and the Jin army had indeed almost reached its limit. It can be said that it was Liu Yin who fought again. did him a favor.

Although the two sides did not reach any agreement, Liu Yin still made a move at the critical moment, which really made Yang Hu feel very emotional.Although Liu Yin also has an emperor on top of his head, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Liu Yin has the ultimate decision-making power in the army. He can do whatever he wants, but it is a pity that Yang Hu can't. The emperor of Jin is not here. He gave orders from afar, and without Sima Yan's approval, Yang Hu could hardly do anything.

"Captain, the Huns have retreated, should they pursue?" Chen Yuan asked.
