Chen Yan and Liang Shou led their troops to kill from Shanmen Rock, while Luo Wenhu stayed.

Luo Wenhu crossed the river to assist in commanding, and there were no soldiers around him who could make him like an arm, so he couldn't lead his troops to kill like Chen Yan and Liang Shou, so he could only stay behind Shanmen Rock to clean up the mess that might occur after the defeat of the assault.

After Luo Wenhu surrendered, he was soon sent to participate in the battle of Pinglinbu to stop and defeat the enemy, and in that battle, Sun Zhuang and Liu Zhenzhi used Tiesongxi as bait to lure the enemy in to encircle and annihilate the deployment, in Luo Wenhu's opinion, it was bold enough, but he didn't expect Dengcheng Tiger Chen Zhen to be even more bold in fighting.

Chen Yan saw that the enemy army deliberately retreated to the south of Guanyinjian to set up defenses, and immediately decided to lead his troops to break through, intending to kill the enemy before they completed the deployment south of Guanyinjian.

Although the three important places of Guanyinjian, Huyatan and Shanmenyan are all controlled by the Huaidong Army one step ahead, and the main force of the enemy army that came first is still stuck in the north of Guanyinjian, which is the stagnation of the book of war, but the strength of the Huaidong Army that can be used for assault in Shanmenyan is only more than 1,000, and the enemy army is three times as much as them.

The enemy dared to bypass the Guanyin tip and insert it, but it was also relying on the strength of the army to temporarily occupy an absolute advantage.

Luo Wenhu didn't expect that Chen Yan would boldly lead the armor to surprise the enemy three times, of course, the timing was good, it was not impossible to defeat the enemy, but the risk was extremely great.

Luo Wenhu originally suggested asking for instructions from the north bank, and asked Chen Yan to stare back at him - after Chen Yan led his troops to attack from Shanmen Rock, he sent someone back to the north bank to report the news. However, soon Huang Zuyu crossed the river and took over the command of the south bank.

"The enemy wants to outflank Chen's army from both flanks, but Chen's army only has one sentry on each flank, I'm afraid it will be insufficient. Huang Zhijun, please allow me to lead a sentry horse from the right flank to make up for it! Luo Wenhu and Huang Zuyu stood on the high place of Shanmen Rock, and could clearly watch the development of the battlefield on the right flank, and saw that almost five or six hundred enemy troops each dismounted and stood and drilled into the woods on the flank, intending to outflank the flank of the Huaidong assault soldiers and horses.

Huang Zuyu shook his head and said: "Tiger Master is one of the few brave generals in the Huaidong Army, and his courage does not mean that he is invincible, but on the battlefield, he knows the changes on the battlefield more clearly than others; Moreover, Hu Ye was in charge of the war in eastern Fujian in his early years, and his subordinates were most accustomed to drilling forests and climbing slopes. The enemy dismounted and fought, scattering to attack the flanks of the tiger master from the dense forests on both sides, which would only be more like the tiger master's intentions. You don't want to see that Tiger Master only deploys one sentry on both flanks to protect him, but he should be able to block the outflanking enemy, so that Tiger Master has enough time to defeat the enemy in front of him......"

Although the Huaidong Army is still coming over the trestle bridge, Huang Zuyu's top priority is not to send troops to strengthen Chen Yan's attack power, but to prevent Chen Yan's breakthrough failure, and he must not let the enemy have the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos to enter and seize Shanmen Yan. To send troops to strengthen their attack power, it is also necessary to deploy a certain number of defenders south of Shanmen Rock - this is the clear instruction that Lin Jian gave him.

Seeing that Huang Zuyu was optimistic about the development of the situation, Luo Wenhu could only watch the development of the battlefield with patience and anxiety.

Of course, time is on their side, in fact, as long as Chen Yan can delay the enemy army, even if he fights an evenly matched, it will make the situation tilt to this side as more Huaidong troops enter the south bank; And Yanhu's soldiers and horses were obviously much slower to come in from Xiangyang and Gucheng for reinforcements.

**************

The soldiers and horses left on the right flank of Shanmen Rock collapsed much faster than Wu Ya and Lin had expected, and he did not expect that his subordinates would be so strongly blocked when they flanked the Huaidong Army from the dense forests on both wings.

At the beginning of Lin Lian's rule of the Huaidong Army, he emphasized the principle of staggered formation of sword and shield soldiers, crossbowmen, spearmen, and Mo sword and armor soldiers, and emphasized the ability of small-scale soldiers and horses to fight independently. The Huaidong Army's combat squad with fifteen soldiers as a unit almost has the above troops; At the level of the capital team, it will be strengthened with weapons such as shield carts and bed crossbows.

In addition to enabling the generals to cooperate more closely with each other on the battlefield, the Huaidong Army's formation method also has the advantage of adapting to more complex battlefield terrain.

Wu Ya and Lin Suo's subordinates dismounted and fought, wearing armor and holding sabers and riding bows, only a few people held shields, and were forced to disperse the formation into the dense forest.

The Huaidong army took fifteen soldiers as a team, intercepted and outflanked the enemy troops in the dense forest on both wings, held a long shield in front of the line to block the enemy's arrows, and the bayonetmen were between the sword and shield hands, and the bamboo spears with more than eight feet long and fine bamboo branches made it difficult for the enemy soldiers to attack closely, and the Mo knife hands or spears hidden behind the bayonet's side wore heavy armor, and they saw the opportunity to decisively attack in front and kill the enemy soldiers, and the crossbowmen shot the enemy soldiers in the flank; If the enemy strikes from the flank, the sword and shield hand and the Mo knife hand rush forward to fight, fully exploiting the advantages of both long and short, both offensive and defending, and completely suppressing the enemy soldiers with short bows and sabers in the dense forest......

Uya and Lin tightened their reins, and he stood on a gentle slope outside the battlefield. He couldn't see the specific situation of the battle between the two armies in the flank woods, but he could see that he drilled into the woods with three times his troops and horses to outflank the flank of the Huaidong army, but he didn't see any progress for half a day, and the soldiers and horses of Tian Chang's department were defeated and retreated under the onslaught of the Huaidong army.

Once the soldiers and horses behind the palace of Tian Changsuo were defeated, Wu Ya and Lin did not withdraw the troops and horses in time, but there was a danger of scattering and encircling the Huaidong army.

"It's all shit!" Wu Ya couldn't hold back his anxious mood, he was unwilling to be defeated and retreated to Tian Chang to ridicule, whipped and commanded the left and right horses, and shouted, "All the, my mother will dismount me, the blood and courage of Wulun Mountain have defiled you incompetent people!" "Dragged up the horse chopping knife, and took the last hundred or so elites around him to kill downhill.

Without waiting for Wu Ya and Lin to lead the troops and horses to converge with the outflanking troops and horses on the left flank, Tian Chang's department, which was in charge of the front of the palace, could no longer support it at this time, and called Chen Yan, who was the first soldier, to lead the Huaidong armor to kill and collapse. Chen Zhen saw that a small group of soldiers and horses wanted to outflank him at this time, wiped the blood on his face, and waved his knife to point there: "Brother Nu work hard, the enemy troops in the south are afraid and dare not kill them, let's wrap up this group of turtle sons on the left first!" "Led hundreds of Huaidong soldiers to Wuya and Lin to roll over......

Although Wu Ya and Lin were famous brave generals of Wu Ya's clan, their flanks caused the rout to rush over, and the Huaidong army covered them, which also caught him off guard and made it difficult to resist. Wu Ya and Lin led the crowd to outflank the Huaidong army, so they gave up the war horse foot battle, at this time they could only struggle to turn back, brandishing the saber to block the Huaidong army, so that the soldiers and horses in the dense forest could converge on him, but it was a pity that several sharp arrows were shot at his face door.

Hit by an arrow in the eye socket, Wu Ya and Lin screamed in pain, and then a chopping knife horse slashed diagonally, and the whole body was split in half from the neck to the armpit, and they didn't even have time to see who the Huaidong general who killed him was.

As soon as Wu Ya and Lin died, their troops collapsed, and Chen Yan pointed at Liang Shou, who was holding a horse chopping knife and screaming with blood: "You and Dong Biao led the men and horses to fight forward from the left flank!" Take you turtle grandsons to fight out, Lao Tzu's official position will definitely be called to the lord, if you don't kill a happy one, how can you not get back the original! ”

Luo Wenhu, who was guarding Shanmen Rock, didn't expect to win, his fists were stretched, his palms were sweaty, the snow particles fell more urgently, the north wind was howling, and he couldn't feel the chill at all, and said to Huang Zuyu: "Chen Zhijun intends to continue to pursue the enemy troops on the periphery, I thought that the soldiers and horses of Shanmen Rock could attack directly to Guanyinjian......

Huang Zuyu's style is different from Chen Yan's, and he also agrees with Luo Wenhu's judgment, but he always has to stay in the center of Shanmen Rock to dispatch, and said to Luo Wenhu: "Then it's annoying that Commander Luo will lead a battalion of soldiers and horses who have just crossed the river to cooperate with Tiger Master to chase and destroy the remnants of the enemy!" ”

At this time of the battle, another battalion of more than a soldier walked the trestle into Shanmen Rock, Huang Zuyu left a sentry to think that the most basic defense, and asked Luo Wenhu to lead a battalion of men and horses to strengthen the attack force of the assault soldiers and horses to the south.

***************

Tian Chang watched the soldiers and horses behind the palace collapse, and Wu Ya and Lin called the Huaidong army to get involved, and at this time, they really didn't dare to escort the last two battalions of soldiers and horses in their hands up. The longer the time dragged on, the more Huaidong troops would enter the south bank, and the battlefield was so close to Shanmen Rock that there was no chance of victory at all.

He looked at Hu Zongguo with hatred, hating that he didn't support himself just now, since he gave up attacking Shanmen Rock, why couldn't he be more resolute?

Tian Chang has been fighting with the Huaidong Army for all these years, how could he not know the characteristics of the Huaidong Army's operations?

To confront the Huaidong Army, the formation cannot be concentrated, so as not to be thrown intensively by the Huaidong Army's bed crossbows, scorpion crossbows and oil cans; However, it should not be too scattered, especially on the complex and changeable battlefield, the result of the dispersion of formations and the mutual penetration of the Huaidong Army often ends in a rout, and there are very few luck......

Neither too centralized nor too dispersed, how can the Huaidong Army fight?

Tian Chang suddenly also called this doubt trapped, and suddenly found that when the strength of the army was equal, there was no means to restrain the Huaidong Army with traditional tactics, unless he studied and imitated the tactics of the Huaidong Army in all aspects, and attacked its shield with its spear.

It's just that the tactics of the Huaidong Army are varied, and new tactics have emerged one after another over the years.

Tong Erdan whipped the horse that stepped down hatefully, but he didn't expect Wuya and Lin to be defeated so easily.

The collapse of Eastern Hubei can be said to have fallen into Huaidong's treacherous scheme, but in the real frontal battle in front of him, Wu Ya and Lin Suobu are also the elite of Yandong, and they killed the Huaidong army so easily, so that he couldn't accept it.

Hu Zongguo looked at the soldiers and horses behind the palace and the more than 2,000 soldiers and horses of Wuya and Lin Suo's department, and the more than 1,000 Huaidong troops who came out of the assault were defeated, and the Huaidong army continued to kill here with the remaining momentum, making him pale.

At this time, Hu Zongguo deeply regretted that he had not been able to firmly support Tian Chang to prevent Wu Ya and Lin from going to war - the soldiers and horses behind the palace were defeated, and Wu Ya and Lin were defeated, except for Ma Tuhai who had two battalions of soldiers and horses south of Guanyinjian, they had less than two battalions of soldiers and horses left north of Guanyinjian, and if they wanted to withdraw at this time, they could only flee in the direction of Cao Chongzhai!

Hu Zongguo looked at Tian Chang and saw that Tian Chang had the same thoughts in his eyes, but Tian Chang subconsciously turned his head to look at Guanyinjian in the south: Guanyinjian's three hundred Huaidong Army soldiers decisively gave up guarding the slope forest at this time, and went from the west wing, wanting to block the passage for them to flee from the west wing of Guanyinjian to Cao Chongzhai, and they were not afraid of the Matuhai Department on the south side......

****************

Lin Jian also stood on the Dragon Claw Rock, nervously paying attention to the battle on the south bank, looking at the enemy troops on the right flank of Shanmen Rock led by Chen Yan, he put down his hanging heart and scolded lightly: "What a crazy tiger!" ”

"The enemy seems to be at a loss!" Gao Zongting watched the battle until now, and only then did he spit out a comment.

Lin Jian nodded, and said to the soldiers on his side: "The enemy in the north and south of Guanyinjian is difficult to take care of, and the enemy reinforcements will come half a day later, so Chen Yan will make persistent efforts to kill the enemies of these two parts, and redeem the merits!" ”

Song Fu said with a smile: "The lord asked Chen Yan to redeem his merits, but when this word reaches his ears again, he is afraid that he will probably think that the lord will praise him for doing a good job......

Gao Zongting hit the nail on the head just now, and it was the enemy army that rushed to the vicinity of Guanyinjian was caught off guard that Chen Yan seized the opportunity to attack more with less and won a narrow victory - such a narrow victory is not worth encouraging, but there is no way to take a general like Chen Yan, Lin Jian smiled bitterly and said: "If he can send the heads of Tian Chang and Hu Zongguo to the north bank, it will not hurt if he does a single job; However, after the war, he was transferred out of the Chongcheng army, so as not to give him a grain of rat droppings and spoil a pot of porridge......"

"If you don't use such a brave general, it's also a loss!" Gao Zongting said.

"I'm thinking about forming an independent town division to cooperate with the landing operation of the water camp, and if the others are not suitable, I will ask Chen Yan to go up to ......," Lin Jian said. Of course, Lin Jian will not put a general like Chen Yan on the shelf, but it seems that he cannot be used in large group operations in the future, and his aggressive combat methods will bring unknown risks to large group operations.
