Gao Shunzhi's fame is still because of the trapped-up camp of only 700 people.

That army is Gao Shun's real killer weapon, and the rest of the army is probably cannon fodder.

How difficult it is to train an elite army, Guo himself has a deep feeling.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, most of the army was temporarily recruited, and there were very few standing regular troops.

Their military discipline is corrupt, their combat effectiveness is weak, they have little cooperation, and it is okay to meet a simple enemy, but it is difficult to say when they encounter a strong enemy.

The military strategists of the Eastern Han Dynasty were not unable to see this.

However, limited to the problems of the imperial court policy and the financial problems of the Eastern Han government, it is unrealistic to restore the large-scale standing army of the Western Han Dynasty.

So in the later period, the general's private soldiers became very common, whether it was before or after the troubled times, Zhu Jun's private soldiers, Gongsun Zhan's white horse righteous servants, Gao Shun's trapped camp, Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry, etc.

These armies are well-equipped, well-trained, and have strong combat capabilities.

On the battlefield, the main general will often use these truly elite troops led by strong generals as the absolute main force, and when the time is ripe, this army will be thrown into the battlefield to achieve a decisive victory.

Trapping the camp is Gao Shun's killer weapon, and it can even be said to be Lu Bu's killer weapon, as long as this army is destroyed, the other Lu Bu's armies really can't be regarded as a threat.

Where did Lu Bu's confidence come from, Guo Peng didn't know, but Lu Bu did sweep away a lot of troubles for himself.

The external enemy has never been a problem for Guo Peng, because it can be justified to deal with them, but if the internal enemy wants to clean up, it needs to pay a certain price.

Now that Lu Bu has helped him sweep away a large number of internal henchmen, Guo Peng really doesn't know how to thank Lu Bu.

I will use sending you back to the West as a thank you, and thank you for helping me sweep away these henchmen!

Don't thank me.

You didn't have the life to thank me.

Guo Peng led his troops forward, and on August 17, he led his army to meet Gao Shun's army west of Fanxian, numbering more than 20,000.

Guo Peng's army was about the same number, the two armies were equal in strength, evenly matched, and then set up a position and prepared for a big battle.

Gao Shun was still very cautious, after the previous rout of the vanguard army returned, he was very surprised to learn that Guo Peng had led the army to Renchengguo, so he did not continue to move forward, but set up camp on the spot, preparing to block Guo Peng.

He felt that Guo Peng came a little fast, beyond his budget, but since Guo Peng came, he had to continue to fight, and he couldn't retreat.

The truth of leading the rabble, Gao Shun understands, the battle with the wind can be won, a little setback, it is likely to fail, if you retreat, it will directly collapse and collapse the army.

Except for a small number of core elites and some soldiers with combat experience, most of them are strong men who are forcibly recruited on the spot, and they have no will to fight.

Gao Shun is very clear about the situation of himself and Lu Bu, such a war cannot be lost, once defeated once, the army is dispersed, Guo Peng can immediately counterattack, and everything he has won before will be in vain.

In addition to the captive cities, those who surrendered, can surrender to him now, and naturally they can also surrender back, they are the grass on the wall, and they fall on both sides.

Victory consolidates gains, and defeat will undo everything.

Gao Shun carefully arranged the troops, let the experienced soldiers and the inexperienced soldiers form a military formation, strictly and solidly, so that Guo Peng would not find any weaknesses.

But how did Guo Peng not find his weaknesses?

From the composition of their soldiers who were not uniformly dressed and armed, Guo Peng could see his biggest weakness.

Guo Jia naturally saw it.

"Raising soldiers for a thousand days, using soldiers for a while, my brother has been raising soldiers and training soldiers for a thousand days, and it has cost countless money and food, and now is the time to test whether the soldiers are worthy of such generous treatment from my brother."

Guo Jia and Guo Peng climbed high together to observe Gao Shun's military appearance, and after seeing it, Guo Jia said to Guo Peng with some confidence.

Guo Peng nodded, indicating that he also agreed with Guo Jia's opinion.

"Yes, I have been raising soldiers for so long, isn't it today?"

How could the military appearance of the army led by Gao Shun be messy?

There were regular soldiers with helmets, people with cloths wrapped around their heads, and people who had no headdresses and disheveled heads.

There were normal soldiers in military uniforms, civilians in ordinary cloth uniforms, shirtless homeless people, and bare-legged ones, and even a fig leaf on their bodies, and their shoes were all tattered straw sandals.

The weapons they have in their hands are also varied.

There are iron sophisticated weapons, as well as standard weapons, as well as wooden sticks, bamboo guns, and even farm tools, at a glance it is like a cold weapons exhibition in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

There were not many soldiers with shields, and they were basically at the front, and there were no shield-bearers in the rear formation.

There are also cavalry, but there are not many of them, it is estimated that there are only a few hundred, not a thousand.

Guo Peng also saw that there were crossbowmen, but there were very few of them.

It is estimated that most of the equipment was obtained from the Haoqiang manor they had plundered.

The treasury of these counties has not been innovated like the counties directly controlled by Guo Peng, and there may not be many weapons and equipment, and there may be many shoddy ones.

In the past, when Guo Peng sorted out the county treasury, he also found a lot of treasury that no one managed at all, and no one managed the things in them, but there were many sophisticated weapons and even armor in the local powerful manor.

Gao Shun scraped together so many troops in a short period of time, and it is estimated that the equipment is not complete, so he scraped together a rag man like a beggar, and wanted to pretend to be an army to fight?

How can you let me Guo someone train with great effort?

Unified battle armor, unified standard weapons, military flags fluttering, and strict lineups.

What's the point of me training this professional army fed with money and food if even you, a ragtag army like a beggar, can't defeat it?

Gao Shun over there actually saw the gap between the military appearance of the two armies, and at a glance, his military appearance was messy, and he looked very uncomfortable, while Guo Peng's military appearance was strict and the flag was fluttering, with an elite posture.

Gao Shun felt that the situation might be a little bad, and he couldn't have provoked Guo Peng's main elite.

But even so, so what?

In the battle between the two armies, the one at the front is cannon fodder, and the one who can really decide the winner is the elite with clear armor and well-trained armor around the general.

Gao Shun looked at the trapped camp beside him.

Although there were only 700 people, Gao Shun believed that these 700 people could create miracles.

They had undergone the strictest training, used excellent equipment, and wore the best battle armor, no matter how difficult Lu Bu's situation was, there was no shortage of food and clothing for this army.

As long as this army is still there, no matter what the state group goes, it will be able to make a comeback.

"Song Xian, I order you to lead the trapping camp, wait for my orders!"

"Yes!"

Song Xian took over Gao Shun's general order and came to the trapped camp army formation, ready to attack.

This forbidden army will become the trump card in Gao Shun's hands and will be his decisive force in defeating Guo Peng.

Gao Shun had no doubts.

Then, the big war began.

War drums sounded in Guo Peng's military formation, and Gao Shun immediately ordered the war drums to be beaten, and the front-line military formation began to attack forward.

The several military formations placed by Gao Shun at the forefront are basically composed of regular troops, and the equipment is not bad, as long as they can defeat Guo Peng's former army formation, they can basically lock in victory.

Gao Shun saw a large number of cavalry distributed by Guo Peng on both flanks of the military formation, and knew that the cavalry in his hand was definitely not the opponent of Guo Peng's cavalry, so the only option was to use infantry to defeat Guo Peng's infantry.

Guo Peng's side saw that Gao Shun's military formation had attacked, so he also ordered his own military formation to attack.

The drums of war were beating, the drums were rumbling, and the front-line army received the order to attack, and under the command of the generals, the whole line moved forward.

Guo Peng's army is highly organized, and when he strikes forward step by step, the footsteps can gather together, shouting while advancing, and the huge momentum can directly bring the momentum impact to Gao Shun's army.

The battle between the two armies has already begun.

At this time, Gao Shun's military formation was far from being as strict as Guo Peng's military formation, the footsteps were broken, they could not be gathered, and the shouts could not be unified, exposing serious coordination problems.

The so-called interlacing is like separating mountains, and this is true in any industry, and the difference between professional and non-professional is a world of difference.

So as the saying goes, don't use your interest to challenge me to make a living.
