"Order Lu Mingchen, turn around to meet Zhou Guodong, and order Gao Wengui to divide half of the troops to support Lu Mingchen......"

In the middle of the narrow mountain range, Zhou Guodong's 10,000 army covers a large area, giving people a feeling of overwhelmingness, swarming towards Lu Mingchen, the mountains and rivers take turns, Lu Mingchen has now become the enemy on his back, and the situation is more dangerous than the 75th Division, after all, they have been fighting fiercely with the 75th Division for a long time, but Zhou Guodong's 10,000-strong army has been recuperating, Liu Wenxiu immediately concluded that Lu Mingchen is definitely not Zhou Guodong's opponent, if he does not send Gao Wengui to support, he is afraid that he will be beaten to the ground as soon as he fights.

An army of 10,000!

Zhou Guodong actually had an army of 10,000!

This greatly exceeded Liu Wenxiu's expectations, and he was completely unprepared in advance to lead to this passive situation.

Lu Mingchen was on the right side of the 75th Division, Gao Wengui wanted to support him, he had to go around the hillside in a big circle, his reinforcements had just come down to the bottom of the mountain, Zhou Guodong's troops had already rushed to the battlefield, and Lu Mingchen started a fierce battle, Gao Wengui had no other way, but to attack the 75th Division on the top of the mountain with all his strength, try to contain them, to avoid Lu Mingchen being attacked from both sides.

Lu Mingchen is also an experienced general, seeing that Zhou Guodong is attacking in a big way, he has already made corresponding preparations, he didn't care about attacking the 75th Division again, mobilized the main force to turn to Zhou Guodong, and slowly retreated backwards, intending to move closer to Gao Wengui, and face the 75th Division with a small number of troops, in case they took the opportunity to chase down the hillside.

"Fortunately, Lu Mingchen and Gao Wengui handled it properly, and they might be able to stop Zhou Guodong." Liu Wenxiu breathed a sigh of relief, Lu Mingchen and Gao Wengui combined also have more than 10,000 troops, which is on a par with Zhou Guodong, although the other party is raided, the loss must be not small, but it should be able to protect itself.

Liu Wenxiu once again gave an order to the rear army, ordering them to send all the soldiers to march and meet the main force. Before sending his troops, he thought that this battle would be won, but now the situation was in danger of getting out of control, and if the battle continued to go unfavorably, he planned to withdraw his troops.

Of course, even if the troops are withdrawn, it is temporary, after Liu Wenxiu readjusts the deployment, he will definitely make a comeback and attack Guiyang again, but after this setback, the strength of the Western Army will be damaged, and the tactics of encircling on all sides can no longer be used in the next attack, as long as the Chu army is driven away first and Guiyang is recovered, even if the task is completed.

In the future, how to fight this battle, Liu Wenxiu can't think about it so long-term.

All in all, it will be a great headache.

Because of the failure of this siege of Guiyang, the Western Army has lost a good opportunity to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop, even if Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong withdraw from Guiyang, it will be difficult to deal with them in the future, and it is possible to fight one or two provinces for thousands of miles, Liu Wenxiu's bottom line is to hold the base camp in Yunnan, and then mobilize a large army to encircle and suppress the Western Expeditionary Army, and the plan to attack Jiangnan will definitely be affected by this, and Sun Kewang wants to go down the river to capture Nanjing, at least one or two years of preparation time, and the overall strategy of the Western Army must be adjusted accordingly.

"Well, let's get past the current level first, and then talk about the rest." Liu Wenxiu retracted his thoughts and watched the battle intently.

On the battlefield ahead, Lu Mingchen's 7,000 soldiers were fighting fiercely with Zhou Guodong's 10,000 soldiers, fighting very hard, the terrain of mountain combat was narrow, the surface was undulating, and there were many shrubs and vegetation, so both armies gave up the formation and fought and returned to the primitive melee fighting.

At the beginning, there was a very obvious battle line between the two armies, because the terrain was slightly undulating and slightly twisted, and it was still a straight line on the whole, but as the battle became white-hot, the area covered by this front quickly expanded and became thicker, and it became a combat zone hundreds of steps wide, and began to twist and deform, thousands of soldiers fought to the death on this combat area, you have me, I have you, the dying screams were endless, the sound of the impact of the blades was loud, blood flowed, corpses were accumulated, and they kept attacking and killing back and forth, Standing on a high place and looking from a distance, it looks like a giant python trembling and writhing.

But this kind of primitive battle on the front is not the end of two groups of soldiers rushing together to cut each other, what really determines the outcome is the impact from the rear.

With the battle flags waving and the drums and trumpets contending, Zhou Guodong and Lu Mingchen each commanded their troops and constantly attacked the enemy's battle line, ranging from dozens of people to hundreds of people, and at most hundreds or thousands of people, forming a group of assault troops, like two giants each waving heavy fists and smashing them on each other.

Under this kind of strong impact, the battle zone between the two armies will be broken through in an instant, until the attack is blocked by the other side, and a new battle zone is formed.

"Great! Great! ”

Those scribes were very excited, and were stimulated by the fierce battle, and the plains were lined up, advance and retreat were all disciplined field battles, this kind of large-scale decisive battle in the mountains closer to the primitive state, it seemed more cruel, but also more direct, if this was a fight between giants, not being able to fight in array was like removing the protective gear and fist gloves of both sides, and each heavy punch would smash the opponent's head and bleed, and soon became scarred, with a blue nose and swollen face.

Because of the inability to fight in formation, the individual soldiers become very fragile and insignificant, and are almost instantly submerged in the face of the impact of the large group of enemies, and only by sending troops to intercept them head-on can they block the enemy's impact, and if the intercepted troops are also defeated, the front will continue to bend inward until the next interception force blocks up, and finally blocks the enemy's impact, and the soldiers immediately integrate into the battle in place, waiting for the arrival of the next impact.

"Our army seems to be at a disadvantage." One of the scribes whispered.

Although he is a layman, he can also see that Lu Mingchen has been in a situation of being passively beaten, and the casualties are much more than those of the Chu army.

Zhou Guodong's troops not only have the advantage in numbers, but the morale and physical strength of the soldiers are also better than those of the Western Army, just like a heavyweight older than Lu Mingchen, tall and long arms and full of physical strength, punch after punch at him, at the beginning, Lu Mingchen was able to parry, but he could also see Leng Zi fight back two punches, but as the battle line continued to sink back, he could only raise his arms to protect his head and face, immersed in Zhou Guodong's combination of punches like a storm, there was no time to fight back, and he didn't dare to fight back easily.

He is now parrying with all his strength, and he can hold on for a while, before he runs out of strength, he will not be easily knocked down by the other party, if he rashly fights back and reveals a flaw, and is punched by Zhou Guodong on the chin, he will be beaten straight and fly out, lying on the ground and letting the other party ravage.

"Hold on! Hold on! Liu Wenxiu secretly cheered for Lu Mingchen in his heart.

Because of the underestimation of Zhou Guodong's strength, he can only watch Lu Mingchen being beaten now, there is no way, fortunately, the 3,500 reinforcements sent by Gao Wengui are about to arrive on the battlefield, and with this new force joining the battle, Lu Mingchen can turn the corner from danger.

Time passed minute by minute, every minute and every second, there were countless soldiers of the Western Army who fell in a pool of blood, and the 3,500 reinforcements were already running with all their might, but in Liu Wenxiu's eyes, they were slower than snails crawling, and finally, they came to Lu Mingchen's rear formation, took over the armor and helmet from the auxiliaries, hurriedly put them on, and then formed several assault troops to counterattack the Chu army one after another.

Fight back!

Liu Wenxiu spewed out a heavy breath from his nose, and a big stone in his heart fell to the ground, Lu Mingchen's battle line had just changed from type I to irregular type C, the Chu army could not only put more troops into the battle zone, but also faintly formed a three-sided attack, the situation was very dangerous, after these 3,500 reinforcements were put into the battle, they immediately pushed back the Chu army at both ends and restored the stability of the battle line.

Just hold it steady!

Liu Wenxiu didn't expect to defeat Zhou Guodong in one battle, but just hoped that Gao Wengui and Lu Mingchen would stabilize their positions, and when the reinforcements of the rear army arrived, they would withdraw from the battle and ensure their own safety, and then look for fighters, or the whole army would retreat...... The current battlefield situation is very chaotic, the battle situation of the former army Wang Shangli is unknown, the situation here in the Chinese army is not optimistic, the soldiers of the rear army are only a few thousand people, and the Yunnan soldiers who came from the west of Guiyang City are far away and cannot quench their thirst, Liu Wenxiu has not many cards to play in his hand, and he does not want to continue to fight with Zhou Guodong, so as not to have an accident and put the whole army in greater danger.

At this time, a firework rose under the mountain in the distance, not a signal from the Western Army, but the beautiful fireworks of the Chu Army, and then, everyone in Zhou Guodong's army shouted, and attacked Lu Mingchen again with the scale of two thousand people, with a high morale look, Liu Wenxiu turned around suddenly, and was stunned to see a group of large and small boats coming on the Nanming River, with a square red flag on the bow of the boat.

"The Chu thief really attacked by boat!"

Seeing the appearance of the Chu army's "warship", Liu Wenxiu's brows furrowed a little, but he was not flustered, after all, the Chu army originally controlled the waterway of the Nanming River, and as the commander of the Chu army, he would not let go of this convenient advantageous condition, but to use it as much as possible to fight the enemy, but Liu Wenxiu had already prepared for this, after Wang Shangli transferred more than 3,000 soldiers by the river, he sent the last more than 1,000 soldiers around him, thinking that he could resist for a while.

You don't need to win, you just need to resist for a while.

The 3,000 reinforcements of the rear army will arrive immediately, and there will be two or three thousand soldiers behind, and Liu Wenxiu will have more than 7,000 mobile troops in his hands at that time, but the main force of the Chu army is in Zhou Guodong and Tan Xiao, and the Chu army that attacked by boat is only 2,000 people at most, or even only 1,000 people, Liu Wenxiu is ninety percent sure that he can easily drive them into the Nanming River to feed the fish.
