Chapter 242: Don’t chase the poor criminals

If Lu Xiangsheng wants to retreat, it depends on whether Zhang Shun and others agree. Retreating from the battlefield is inherently a difficult tactical maneuver. Many famous generals suffered huge defeats during the retreat. They were chased for dozens of miles and suffered heavy losses.

Lu Xiangsheng knew this very well, but he had no choice. Originally, the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers he brought was mediocre, but Zhang Shun and "Chuang Jiang" found that they were prepared and unprepared, and the officers and soldiers suddenly fell into passivity.

Originally, Lu Xiangsheng was still lucky, thinking that the "thieves" who were coming might not be able to fight. As long as he restrained the enemy for a moment and the officers and soldiers reorganized their formation, they could fight again.

Now, after Lu Xiangsheng fought against "Chuangjiang", "Yihu", Chen Changzhen, and Wukong respectively, he found that the opponent had quite a plan, but it was not comparable to "Lu Yanwang" and his like, and he knew that the officers and soldiers had been caught in a big war. in crisis.

If Lu Xiangsheng and others continue to fight, they will probably end up with their entire army annihilated. Today will be their death anniversary next year.

According to the view of later generations, Lu Xiangsheng was completely a "fool". When he is a general, he shares the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. When fighting, he takes the lead in charging forward, and when retreating, he personally leads the rear.

However, it is precisely because he does it himself that he can win the morale of the military. Originally, with the quality of the officers and soldiers, once they retreated, they would be defeated like a mountain. As a result, Lu Xiangsheng personally led people to the rear and ordered the commander-in-chief Liang Fu and Kou Conghua to lead their troops to retreat.

The troops of Zhang Shun and "Chuang Jiang" were not enough to eat up such a large number of officers and soldiers in a short time, so they had to abandon the main force of officers and soldiers, and instead surrounded Lu Xiangsheng and others.

Lu Xiangsheng charged left and right, showing great courage, but still couldn't escape. When Commander-in-Chief Liang Fu looked back, he couldn't help but be shocked, and shouted quickly: "After Ambassador Lu Lian died for me, how can we abandon him? If anyone dares to die, please come with me to save him!"

Lu Xiangsheng was very popular with the army. Unexpectedly, the general Liang Fu responded to his call, and everyone was willing to follow him to rescue Lu Xiangsheng. The commander-in-chief Liang Fu couldn't help but be determined when he saw that the army was ready, so he personally led the army to fight back.

Regardless of the strength of the officers and soldiers they met, Zhang Shun and "Chuang Jiang" Huang Lai'er basically never encountered anyone who took the initiative to assist each other, and they were immediately caught off guard by the commander-in-chief Liang Fu. One accident would allow him to rescue Lu Xiangsheng.

Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng had broken out of the siege, "General Chuang" was worried that his brothers would suffer serious losses, so he said to Zhang Shun: "This can't be done. It's better not to pursue the enemy!"

Zhang Shun objected after hearing this: "According to what 'Lu Yanwang' said, there are only Zuo Liangyu and Lu Xiangsheng east of the Taihang Mountains. If we don't take the opportunity to defeat Lu Xiangsheng and wait until he recovers, we may not be able to defeat him next time." He died. Now Zuo Liangyu is in Henan and has no time to go north. Lu Xiangsheng has been defeated again. The opportunity must not be missed. If we don't take this opportunity to eliminate Lu Xiangsheng, where will there be such an opportunity in the future? "

After listening to Zhang Shun's words, "Chuang Jiang" Huang Lai'er thought that this was really the situation, so he agreed with Zhang Shun's opinion, and both parties led their armies to bite Lu Xiangsheng's troops.

Lu Xiangsheng's troops did not dare to fight, but they also did not dare not to fight, so they had to fight and retreat.

Zhang Shun called Chen Changzhen who was picking up his precious tiger tendon bow from the ground, and ordered him to lead his cavalry to act as scouts to explore Lu Xiangsheng's east and west and nearby military situations; he ordered Liu Cheng to lead his cavalry to stay behind Lu Xiangsheng's team, waiting for an opportunity to bite him. Take a bite.

Zhang Shun and "General Chuang" led the army to the rear, and once they caught up with Lu Xiangsheng, they launched a battle.

Zhang Shun's move was like "dog skin plaster", which made Lu Xiangsheng very annoyed. When the terrain was favorable, Lu Xiangsheng wanted to fight, but could not find Zhang Shun's main force; when the terrain was unfavorable, Lu Xiangsheng wanted to leave, but was harassed by Liu Cheng's cavalry.

Although Lu Xiangsheng is very skilled in martial arts, how many nails can he twist with his body made of iron? The fighting quality of the entire team was not very high to begin with. When they first encountered the thieves, they almost collapsed on their own. Now being able to fight and retreat is already a huge progress. Lu Xiangsheng has no other good way, so he can only take it one step at a time.

Seeing that nothing could be done, Commander-in-Chief Liang Fu and Councilor Kou Conghua said to Lu Xiangsheng: "Envoy Lu Lian, the thieves are as cunning and cruel as wolves and tigers. If this continues, our entire army will be wiped out. No one in the world can do it. , the only thing we cannot do without is Ambassador Lu Lian. Why don’t you leave us behind and go to Shunde Mansion to ask for reinforcements!"

Lu Xiangsheng heard this and said angrily: "Shunde Prefecture is just a place to guard a hundred households. Not to mention whether these hundreds of households can fight. Even if they can fight, they can only fight with a hundred people. What use can they be? Not to mention that Lu is not I am willing to abandon you and others. Even if Lu does such a thing, how can the court dare to trust Lu to use troops in the future? If Lu no longer controls the army, wouldn't your lives be in vain? Lu wants to avenge you someday. It’s also unavailable!”

The commander-in-chief Liang Fu, the counselor Kou Conghua and others saw Lu Xiangsheng's resolute look and were deeply moved. They suggested: "The thieves have many cavalry and our army has many infantry. No matter how we retreat, the thieves will be able to pursue us. If it takes a long time, the thieves will pursue us." Now that our army is exhausted, the thieves will surely take advantage of it and they will not be able to escape. It is better to take advantage of the fact that our army's strength is still there and pick a dangerous place to defend it. If the thieves suffer too many casualties, they will retreat!"

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he knew the risk. If the thieves trapped them there and there were no reinforcements around, wouldn't they risk their own death? But Lu Xiangsheng had no choice. He could either fight to the death or slowly bleed to death. In the end, he would die. There was still a glimmer of hope for him if he fought hard.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng also got angry and shouted to everyone: "I am Lu Xiangsheng, the envoy of the inspector. I have always had the ambition to wipe out the bandits and stabilize the world. Since training, I have shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, so that everyone can achieve success, fame, and wealth. Township."

"Unexpectedly, Lu Mou is a man of great ambition and talent. He encountered such a catastrophe when he used the army for the first time. I am really ashamed of my fellow villagers and elders in the three prefectures. Now that the thieves are pressing hard, we have no way to retreat. I am willing to lead you to die in this battle. What do you think?" "

The commander-in-chief Liang Fu, the counselor Kou Conghua and the guerrilla general Dong Weikun responded loudly and said: "Envoy Lu Lian is not afraid of death, and we are not afraid of death either. Envoy Lu Lian is the reincarnation of Yue Fei, and Wu Qu has come down to earth. He should overcome this disaster and serve the world." Let’s bring peace!”

Seeing this, other soldiers also shouted: "I am willing to die serving Lu Lian!"

Seeing that his morale was ready, Lu Xiangsheng formed a formation on a nearby hill to wait for Zhang Shun and the "Crashing General" team.

When Liu Cheng led his cavalry here, he was surprised when he saw the officers and soldiers were well-organized and their morale was high. He did not dare to act without authorization, so he quickly sent someone to report to Zhang Shun.

After a while, Zhang Shun and "Chuang Jiang" arrived with their troops. When they saw that the officers and soldiers were indeed in a majestic formation, with their flags covering the sun, Zhang Shun and "Chuang Jiang" couldn't help but feel a headache.

Thank you to the fan "Yao Dao Wanhua" for the large reward, thank you! After the author came back yesterday, he felt very sleepy and wanted to lie down for a while. Unexpectedly, he slept until dawn. I am really ashamed and I can't forgive you, the reader.
