During this time.

Huang Zhong, Liu Bei, and Zhuge Liang have led the defeated army to retreat to Yuzhou one after another.The troops of the Western Shang Empire also pressed on step by step. After taking Huainan, they marched towards Qiaojun.

"Your Majesty, General Lu Xun has returned and is waiting outside the residence." Dian Wei entered the imperial study.

"Let him in."

"Yes."

Lu Xun quickly walked into the imperial study and saluted Xu Ding.

"Bo Yan doesn't need to be polite, get up quickly." Xu Ding helped him up, and said, "I recruited you from Jingzhou to entrust you with important use. I hope you can help me."

"Your Majesty has an order, and the general will obey everything." Lu Xun raised his head and said.

"Okay, I sure didn't misread you."

Xu Ding signaled Lu Xun to sit down, took out a map and put it in front of him: "This is Qiao County. I will give you the strength of a division, and you must hold it for a month. Can you do it?"

"May I ask Your Majesty, how many enemies are there?" Lu Xun asked.

"It's hard to say. According to the current situation, the enemy is only three thousand. But Huainan has been controlled by the enemy, and their troops will come in a steady stream. If you defend Qiao County, you will definitely encounter a large number of enemy troops. Maybe tens of thousands .”

Lu Xun frowned slightly.

Xu Ding chuckled and said, "You don't have to worry too much. Our weapons have been changed, and they are not much different from the enemy's weapons. As long as you defend yourself well, I believe Qiao County can still defend."

"The general is willing to go! I will not disappoint His Majesty!"

"it is good."

Xu Ding took out a letter of appointment and handed it to Lu Xun: "The situation is urgent and there is no room for delay. You take the letter of appointment and go to Jia Xu to dispatch troops, and then rush to Qiao County."

"The last will obey."

Lu Xun left with the letter of appointment.

Compared with Zhou Yu, Lu Xun may be slightly inferior.But Xu Ding prefers to use Lu Xun.

His status in Jiangdong is not as good as Zhou Yu's, and his reputation is not as good as Zhou Yu's. He does not have that kind of loyalty to Sun Jian, Sun Ce, and Sun Quan. He only needs to give a little favor, and it is easy to be loyal to Huaxia.

Become the commander-in-chief of China's new army.

Zhou Yu, Sun Jian, etc., although they expressed their submission, Xu Ding was still very wary, and generally did not give military power.

Two days later.

Lu Xun rushed to Qiao County with the Second Army, the First Column, and the First Division.

As soon as he arrived here, he encountered a brigade that defeated Zhuge Liang before.

An encounter battle started outside the city of Qiaojun.

Da da da

The enemy army built a defensive position in a very short period of time, and the heavy machine gun regiment was dispatched to shoot forward. The bullets shot forward like rain.

Chapter 847

Lu Xun participated in such a battle for the first time.

It was also the first time to see the elite of the Western Shang Empire.

The battle begins.

Just beat him dumbfounded.

It is completely unclear where the enemy is, let alone the enemy's intentions.

What shocked him most was the opponent's firepower, which was too strong.He didn't even see the enemy's shadow, and he lost dozens of people on his side.

"Get down, get down."

Lu Xun roared.

The soldiers lay flat on the spot, not daring to move.

Lu Xun held a telescope in his hand and looked towards the opposite side.

He visually measured the distance and found that it was more than 400 meters away.

This is beyond the shooting range of ordinary rifles.

In other words.

The enemy can hit him.

He couldn't hit the enemy.

Moreover, the position of his army is too exposed.Once you stand up, you will be attacked.

"Come on."

Lu Xun forced himself to calm down, took out a map to look at, and shouted to the back.

The two brigade commanders were closest to him, and they both crawled over.

"What's the matter with the chief of staff?" Hong Yuan, the commander of the second brigade, asked.

"Where's your teacher?"

"It's in the back, but it hasn't come yet." Du Zhen, the commander of the first brigade, replied

"You two, hurry up and send an order that the brigades and regiments move west and south, and distance themselves from each other. Order the third brigade to dig a ditch in place for defense." Lu Xun said.

"Yes."

Both brigade commanders were ordered to go.

Feng Huairong, the commander of the First Division, soon got the news and rushed to join Lu Xun.

His body is a little fat, lying next to Lu Xun, which is in stark contrast to Lu Xun's thin body.

"Chief of Staff Lu, why did you order the [-]st and [-]nd Brigade to move to the southwest. The [-]rd Brigade dug a ravine on the spot. The terrain here is not suitable for combat. I suggest going north. Five miles away, It is Qiaojun City, where the enemy can be stopped." Feng Huairong said.

Lu Xun replied: "The general doesn't know. The enemy we are facing has heavy weapons. Not only is the penetration power stronger than ours, but the range is also farther than ours. If our army compresses the formation, once it is surrounded, it may be difficult to use it. "

"I separated the first brigade and the second brigade to expand the area of ​​the battlefield to avoid being surrounded. At the same time, it can also prevent being attacked by enemy artillery."
