On the hillside on the right, the soldiers of the two armies are fighting for their lives.

The slopes here were relatively gentle, but the surface was covered with a thick layer of vegetation, and in many places there were clumps of shrubs, and both armies were fighting to gain their advantage, and they broke into several groups to attack each other, and soon turned into a melee.

Unlike chaotic warfare where command is completely lost, melee is just that the two sides cannot fight in formation, the battle line is staggered, you have me, I have you, the soldiers follow the battle flag to form one organized force after another, the main general can still control these troops, constantly attack the other side, and strive to divide and surround the enemy, and at the same time try his best to resist the enemy's impact to prevent himself from being divided and surrounded.

This kind of scene is like two giants hugging each other and fighting, you punch over, I punch over, there is defense and attack, but there is almost no dodge, Leng Ding will kick you hard, even dig out your crotch and gouge your eyes, lock your throat and break your fingers...... All kinds of tricks are used to the extreme, and the winner will be determined until one side can no longer get up.

The Western Army is better than the strong armor, and the armor soldiers wearing iron armor have a big advantage in this kind of battle, and they can go on a rampage in the face of the enemy's swords and guns...... In complex mountain battles, and unable to fight in formation, the shortcomings of the iron armor being too cumbersome were magnified, and Lu Mingchen's 3,500 armor soldiers were actually pressed and beaten by the 2,500 Chu army, with more defense and less counterattack, and it has always been very difficult.

"That's good, you should beat him like this!"

Zhou Guodong waved his fist excitedly, the tactics adopted by the 75th Division were exactly the same as he envisioned, not only able to withstand the offensive of the Western Army, but also very likely to win a beautiful battle.

"A soldier is a good soldier, he will be a good general, it's amazing, it seems that this Western Expeditionary Army is the elite of Chu thieves." Liu Wenxiu, who was watching the game on the other side, also nodded slightly.

The strength of the 75th Division is only half of that of the Western Army, and it is in the unfavorable situation of being attacked by the enemy on its back, and if it is passively defensive, the possibility of defeat is very high, but the commander of this Chu army chose to take the initiative to attack, using half of the troops to withstand Gao Wengui in the front, and the other half of the troops launched a fierce attack on Lu Mingchen, so that the Chu army regained the initiative, and if it could defeat Lu Mingchen first, the plan of the Western Army to attack on both sides would be declared bankrupt.

From a distance, Lu Mingchen's situation is already very dangerous, although his troops are more, but when he entered the mountain today, he walked the mountain road for half a day, and just now he made a detour to the right flank of the Chu army.

What's even worse is that from Liu Wenxiu's point of view, it can be clearly seen that the other half of the Chu army on the mountain took advantage of the geographical advantage, not only withstood Gao Wengui's attack, but also kept a reserve of about 500 people.

"Mingjin retreats." Liu Wenxiu ordered expressionlessly.

If he waits for the 500 fresh troops of the Chu army to enter the battle, Lu Mingchen will definitely suffer a big loss, or even be defeated.

Duang！

The sound of the gong is crisp and melodious, spread far in the mountains, the soldiers of the Western Army who are fighting hear the sound of the gong, gather the formation and begin to retreat, because it is a sudden retreat without preparation, when leaving the battle, it is inevitable to be chased and killed by the Chu army, Lu Mingchen and Gao Wengui have some losses, fortunately, there are friendly troops in the rear to respond, the Chu army does not dare to go too deep, and retreats back to the mountain after a while.

"Order the front army and the rear army to transfer 2,000 armor soldiers to the Chinese army." Liu Wenxiu ordered.

This Chu army was very difficult, even if Gao Wengui and Lu Mingchen barely won the victory, they would kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 themselves, Liu Wenxiu was unwilling to take this risk, and decided to invest more troops to wipe out this so-called 75th Division in one fell swoop. The problem is that there are not many soldiers left in the Chinese army, and if all of them are sent to reinforce Gao Wengui and Lu Mingchen, Liu Wenxiu will become the commander of the light pole, and out of his usual cautious attitude, he has transferred a total of 4,000 soldiers from the front army and the rear army, just in case.

After adjusting the deployment, he sent 5,000 soldiers to reinforce Gao Wengui and Lu Mingchen, two to fight one can't beat you, three to fight one is no problem, Liu Wenxiu has been watching the whole battle just now, feeling that the Western Army is only a little bit behind, and now send 5,000 reinforcements at once, it will definitely win.

"Liu Wenxiu is worthy of being the three kings of the Western Army, and he is really old." Zhou Guodong's tone was full of regret.

Just now, the 75th Division almost played a classic example of winning more with less, but unfortunately Liu Wenxiu withdrew at the critical moment, and was escaped by Lu Mingchen, and after sending 5,000 additional reinforcements, he made a comeback, so this battle was not easy to fight. Lu Mingchen and Gao Wengui still had the tactics of attacking from two sides, but they had learned the lessons of the last time, and each of the two families was one and a half, and each family had more than 7,000 soldiers, and no matter how the 75 th Division distributed its troops, it could not achieve a local advantage.

"If only the musketeers were here." A staff officer whispered that the Chu army was the best at fighting with muskets, and if the latest flintlock muskets were used, five thousand men would be enough to fight head-on with the fifteen thousand men of the Western Army, and they would have a great chance of winning.

"The musketeers have other tasks." Zhou Guodong patted him on the shoulder, without the slightest slight: "Brother, don't just stare at Gao Wengui and Lu Mingchen, more than 10,000 people, we must completely defeat Liu Wenxiu's 150,000 army and fight all the way to Kunming." ”

"Yes, but...... Now what? The staff officer pointed to Lu Mingchen's headquarters, who had already descended to the bottom of the mountain: "The Western Army is about to launch an attack again, don't we still support the 75th Division?" ”

"Don't worry, take another look." Zhou Guodong was under tremendous pressure at this time, and couldn't help but start scolding his mother like Tan Xiao: "The seventy-fifth division is a subordinate soldier brought out by Lao Tzu, not only can fight against the wind, but also against the wind, his grandmother's, don't look at Lu Mingchen and Gao Wengui are aggressive, if you want to eat my seventy-fifth division, it's not so easy!" ”

Whether Gao Wengui and Lu Mingchen are 10,000 horses or 15,000 horses, the entire battlefield situation has not changed significantly, for Zhou Guodong, it is not unacceptable to attack now, but it is definitely not the best time, and he must wait for other friendly troops to arrive on the battlefield.

……

"Gao Wengui and Lu Mingchen are also considered generals of one side, why haven't they succeeded in ping pong until now?"

Behind two or three hills, about 20,000 men of the front army of the Western Army were sitting on the official road resting in place, among which the soldiers and auxiliaries were roughly equal, and the main general Wang Shangli was bored and was feeding the horses with dry food.

He just sent someone to Liu Wenxiu, asking to set off first and attack Tuyun Pass, but Liu Wenxiu refused, and was very impatient with his excessive caution, but in front of his generals, it was inconvenient to complain publicly, so he couldn't help but point the finger at the innocent Gao Wengui and Lu Mingchen.

In Wang Shangli's opinion, the Western Expeditionary Army should only have more than 10,000 soldiers, and it is impossible to reach the 20,000 soldiers estimated by Liu Wenxiu, and it is a miracle that they can walk out of the 90,000 mountains in itself, how much armor can they carry? In the 50,000 Western Expeditionary Army, it is not uncommon to have 45,000 auxiliary soldiers, after the capture of Guiyang, Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong can equip a new batch of soldiers, but since entering Guizhou, the Chu army has fought more than a dozen battles in large and small battles, is there no loss? In this way, if you make up for each other inside and out, the actual strength of the Western Army should still be more than 10,000, and it will not reach 15,000.

There is nothing wrong with being cautious, but being too cautious turns into cowardice and cowardice, which is a taboo for generals.

Zhou Guodong sent 5,000 ambush soldiers, it was already a desperate fight with all his might, and there would be no more powerful follow-up means, the reason for this is very simple, even if the Chu army has 20,000 soldiers, it must divide troops to defend Guiyang City, as well as Tuyun Pass, Ya Pass and Nanming River Ferry and other passes, how many people can be transferred to support these 5,000 ambush soldiers?

Liu Wenxiu overreacted and commanded his troops in turn.

In fact, in Wang Shangli's view, it is enough to leave a force to keep an eye on the 5,000 Chu army, and the main force of the Western Army can attack Tuyun Pass first.

"When the King of Shu is old, his courage has become smaller." Wang Shangli couldn't help but complain to a henchman named Miao Zhenzong.

"Hehe, the King of Shu was originally not bold." Miao Zhenzong is also Sun Kewang's sworn friend, and he doesn't have much respect for Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu: "He is afraid that Gu Yuan will wait for you to capture Tuyun Pass and rob the first credit!" ”

"Be careful." Wang Shangli shook his fingers solemnly, and admonished earnestly: "The king of Shu is the commander of the army, how can he compete with us?" Since he has issued a military order, we must always obey the order, otherwise where is the military discipline? ”

"The last general knows that he is wrong!" Miao Zhenzong nodded again and again, looking ashamed, but he was scolding MMP in his heart, who said bad things about Liu Wenxiu first just now? Lao Tzu followed your words and played a little, but you pretended to be high.

At this time, a scout hurriedly ran over: "Master Qiqi, behind the two mountains in the northwest direction, there are some soldiers who seem to be Chu thieves." ”

"How many of them are there?" Wang Shangli asked casually, this is the battlefield where the two armies are fighting, and it is normal to encounter a small army of the enemy, such as the enemy's scout team.

"Like...... There are thousands of people. The scout was a little weak-minded, and he couldn't say exactly how many people there were on the other side, so he could only give a rough guess. ()
