The spear formation of the soldiers of the Chu army was more dense than that of the Western army.

The cotton armor of the soldiers of the Chu army can block the bows and arrows of the Western army.

The archers of the soldiers of the Chu army were specially selected marksmen, and their arrows were standardized by the arsenal and could pierce armor at close range.

The sword and shield soldiers of the Chu army soldiers, and the short ones in the Chu army, squatted lower than the soldiers of the Western Army, the shield was more stable, and the steel knife cut off the legs, which made the tall Western soldiers suffer.

Gao Wengui and Lu Mingchen attacked several times in a row, but did not make any progress, but suffered hundreds of casualties, if it was in normal times, they would definitely suspend the strong attack and slowly look for the flaws of the Chu army.

These 5,000 Chu troops are alone on a hillside, as long as there is enough time, there are ways to deal with them, and they don't even have to fight, just stay at the bottom of the hillside and trap them, there is no need to wait until three or five days later, there is no need to wait until three or five days later, as long as they wait until after dark, the Chu army will always have to eat and sleep, and sooner or later they will show their flaws.

But now the situation is different, Liu Wenxiu has already given a death order, he must destroy the 75th Division, and then go to Tuyun Pass, and the 50,000 troops are waiting for Gao Wengui and Lu Mingchen, and the pressure will be great. Gao Wengui and Lu Mingchen had no choice but to grit their teeth and attack again and again, hoping to exhaust the physical strength and morale of the 75th Division and wear them down little by little.

The hard work paid off, and after another futile attack, the Chu army suddenly retreated to the hillside, although it only retreated two or three hundred steps before stopping and re-arraying, but in any case, there was finally some progress, right?

"Sons, the thieves have been cowardly, we will take advantage of the victory to pursue and defeat them!" Gao Wengui and Lu Mingchen tried their best to boost morale and commanded the troops to attack again.

After a drum, the attacking troops were defeated, leaving a lot of corpses in front of the Chu army, and there were many seriously wounded who could not be evacuated.

Due to the terrain restrictions, Gao Wengui and Lu Mingchen, who were standing at the foot of the hillside, did not show up at first, and the place where the Chu army was now arrayed was a platform on the hillside, and on this platform, the layers of Chu troops formed a solid defensive line, leaving only a narrow foothold for the western army, which happened to be covered by the Chu army's archers. After the western army landed on the platform, at most two rows of soldiers stood up, and the formation was inevitably disjointed, and it collapsed as soon as the Chu army rushed, and it was completely untenable.

"Damn, this turtle formation is actually not difficult to break, as long as there is a red-clothed cannon, two cannons are fired at a crowded place, and the thieves will definitely not be able to defeat the army."

Gao Wengui and Lu Mingchen attacked again, paying the price of nearly 100 casualties, but only killed and wounded 10 or 20 Chu troops.

Liu Wenxiu's army rushed back from Huguang after a long journey, and had to cross the mountainous area of Xiangxi in the middle, so he did not bring heavy artillery, and after returning to Guizhou, he took advantage of the landlord to find a few copper cannons from the state capital below, which was claimed to be a red-coated cannon, but in fact it was only a small cannon of more than 1,000 catties.

When the two were hesitating and helpless, Liu Wenxiu sent an order to ask them to think of more ways and not blindly attack.

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu is so considerate of us and others, I am ashamed!"

Gao Wengui and Lu Mingchen both breathed a sigh of relief, although both of them are fierce generals who specialize in gnawing hard bones, but the five thousand Chu troops in front of them are no longer hard bones, but iron walnuts that have broken their big teeth, and if they continue to fight like this, the morale of the troops will be lower and lower, and there is no hope of victory, so they must change their tactics.

Liu Wenxiu asked them to think of a way, and the way they saw it was to outflank and detour, forming a two-sided flank attack, so that the Chu army would be attacked by the enemy on the back and fight with the Western Army from two directions, and the Western Army could also use its own strength advantage, Gao Wengui and Lu Mingchen discussed, and Lu Mingchen led 3,500 armor soldiers to go around the mountain, detour back to a relatively gentle hillside on the right side of the Chu army, and attack their flank from there.

Looking at the mountain and running a dead horse, don't look at the distance between the Western Army and the Chu Army, you can hear each other shouting loudly, but it is not easy to go around to the other side of the mountain, Lu Mingchen used the flag language to Liu Wenxiu for simple instructions, Lu took 3,500 armored soldiers out, and they acted together, as well as 3,500 auxiliaries carrying armor and weapons, and 100 sword and axe soldiers who opened the way, the vegetation on the surface of this area is too lush, and the sword and axe soldiers cut through thorns and thorns to open a road, which can save a lot of physical strength for the soldiers and auxiliaries.

……

"Lu Mingchen outflanked the right flank of the 75th Division, I don't know if the 75th Division can withstand it."

In a valley farther to the west, a staff officer of the Chu army put down his binoculars and said worriedly to Zhou Guodong: "It seems that Liu Wenxiu is determined to eat the 75th Division." ”

According to the arrangement of Tan Xiao, Zhou Guodong and Liu Tichun, the 75th Division is just an ambush on the surface, and it is best not to be shown by the Western Army, if it is shown by the Western Army, it must be held in place like a nail to attract and contain the main force of the Western Army, Zhou Guodong also led 10,000 horses to hide in the periphery, including more than 8,000 armor soldiers and more than 1,000 archers, hiding in a very hidden valley.

Before the start of the war, Tan Xiao, Zhou Guodong and Liu Tichun went to this area to check the terrain, and they fell in love with this excellent place to hide troops at a glance, although this valley is on the periphery, there is a mountain beam connected to the battlefield in front, the distance is not too far, and this valley is in a visual blind spot, and the scouts of the western army can only go down to the bottom of the ravine, so that there is no hole in the sky here, and tens of thousands of troops can be hidden.

Like the statistics provided by the General Staff Office, Liu Wenxiu was a very cautious general, and sure enough, the 75th Division appeared, and launched a fierce attack, with the posture of eating it in one bite, the 75th Division occupied a favorable position at the beginning and could resist it, but after Lu Mingchen divided his troops and outflanked him, the situation became very dangerous.

"If we attack now, we will definitely be able to catch Lu Mingchen off guard, if he runs slowly, these thousands of men and horses will be a spoonful of stew." Another officer was eager to take the plunge.

"It's easy to eliminate Lu Mingchen, the problem is that in this way, we will be exposed, and the gains outweigh the losses."

"The key is to see if the 75th Division can withstand it, what should I do? I can't get in touch with them right now. ”

Several staff officers whispered, because of the distance, the scouts of the Western Army have not yet searched here, only looking and observing from a distance, and they cannot see the Chu army in this valley, and it is the most advantageous choice to continue to lurk, but if the 75th Division can't withstand it, Zhou Guodong must be reinforced.

The problem is that in order to conceal his position, Zhou Guodong can't contact the 75th Division now, whether he sends heralds to send letters back and forth, or uses flag fireworks, it will attract the attention of the Western Army, as long as a scout team is sent to search carefully, all the secrets will be exposed.

"With Gao Wengui and Lu Mingchen, these two guys can't take the 75th Division, let's not move." Zhou Guodong ordered to continue to hide, wait for the opportunity, and let the 75th Division solve the immediate difficulties by itself.

The 10,000 horses in the hands of Zhou Guodong are the killer weapon of the Chu army to defeat the enemy, the mountain road is difficult, the waterway ship is few, the Chu army wants to invest so many troops again, it is almost impossible, until the critical moment to decide the victory, the hole cards can not be easily played, otherwise it will be a startling snake, so that Liu Wenxiu becomes vigilant, either shrink the force and become a difficult hedgehog, or directly withdraw the troops down the mountain, so that the entire battle plan will fail.

Everyone understands this truth, but watching Lu Mingchen approach the right flank of the 75th Division step by step, everyone's hearts are still very nervous. After a difficult trek, the 7,000 soldiers of the Western Army finally came to the bottom of the hillside, and regrouped in a relatively flat place, the soldiers rested a little, and the auxiliaries helped them to put on their armor, and they were about to attack.

"Why haven't the friendly forces come yet? What a hurry! ”

"They probably just got the message and are on their way."

"The seventy-fifth division is actually quite hidden, Liu Wenxiu can find them out, everyone didn't expect it."

"Don't worry, it should be coming soon......"

Several staff officers were still whispering, Zhou Guodong had been staring at the 75th Division on the battlefield in the distance, although his face was expressionless and calm, but the personal soldiers who were familiar with him still showed a little nervousness from his body movements...... If the 75th Division could not withstand it, the entire battle plan would fail.

The majestic war drums suddenly sounded, and Gao Wengui and Lu Mingchen attacked from two directions at the same time.

The 75th Division was also prepared, and half of the 2,500 soldiers were divided to face Lu Mingchen, and as soon as Lu Mingchen moved, this unit rushed out first, rushing down from the mountain, they no longer forced the formation of the array, but roughly divided into three strands, like three fists smashed into the junction of the Western Army's array, like three tigers descending the mountain!

"Again? Oops, still so fierce? ”

Lu Mingchen was a little surprised, the opponent's strength was twice as small as that of the Western Army, and it was an unfavorable posture of fighting on two fronts, so he dared to take the initiative to attack!

This scene is a bit similar to the hedging between the two armies at the beginning of the war, but in fact, it is very different, the Chu army's current charge is as fierce as a tiger descending from the mountain, and it is clear that it is sparing no effort to defeat Lu Mingchen's 3,500 armor soldiers in one fell swoop.

"Good time!"

Lu Mingchen has been fighting horses for half his life, and he is also a fierce general, but now he is regarded by the Chu army as a soft persimmon that is easy to deal with, and he was aroused by anger when he arrived, and commanded the troops to meet him head-on.

I have 3,500 soldiers, and I have 40% more troops than you, can I still be afraid of you?

Since you are looking for your own death, then divide the victory and defeat!
