Gushan, located in the south of Daliang and north of Chenliu, was originally a very sparse and ordinary mountain, but at this time, because of the battle between the Wei and Jin armies, its strategic position became very important.

"Now Huan Wen has sent Sun Shengtun to be stationed in the Gushan area, claiming to cut off the rear route of our army. Gushan is now the link between Daliang and Chenliu, the strategic significance is very significant, at present the Jin army is still marching to Gushan, Huan Wen also divided his troops to capture the various cities near Chenliu, and there is a tendency to surround Chenliu. Ran Min said with a sinking face: "The situation is quite critical!" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to lead his troops to attack Gushan!" Suo Chao immediately stood up to ask for battle, and all the generals followed suit.

It's just that Xun Ji is very puzzled by this: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he should not divide his troops to attack Gushan at this time." The strength of the Jin army is twice that of our Wei army, but it will not be encircled, and we will not be cut off from the rear road, and he will not be able to attack Daliang, because Daliang is still defended by soldiers and horses. Now Huan Wen is still leading the army to attack Weishi City, but the troops are constantly heading to Gushan! The minister thought that now he should lead troops to reinforce the Wei clan and take the opportunity to attack the back road of the Jin army! ”

"No." General Wei Liao has a different opinion: "The strategic significance of Gushan is very significant, once our Wei army loses Gushan, it is equivalent to losing contact with Daliang, and once the Jin army gains a firm foothold in Gushan, it is very likely to attack Daliang, and when the capital is lost, our Wei army will be in turmoil!" ”

Seeing the differences among the generals and their different opinions, Ran Min couldn't get an idea for a while, so he asked Qin Mu.

Qin Mu squinted his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, whether it is Gushan or Wei, it is of great strategic significance to our Wei army. The minister thought that if the Jin army really wanted to cut off the rear route of our army, it should act covertly and set up an ambush in secret. ”

Now he bluffed first, indicating that this was just a suspicious plan by Huan Wen and others. Our army should break Wei's Jin army as soon as possible while the enemy has not yet assembled a large army in Wei's army. Once Wei's Jin army is defeated, Sun Sheng's suspicious soldiers will be meaningless and will definitely retreat on their own. ”

Attack the mountain, or continue to reinforce the Wei clan?

Ran Min thought about it, and finally made up his mind and decided to lead the army to march towards the Wei clan. Taking advantage of the fact that the Jin army's forces have not yet been fully assembled and the foothold is not stable, the Wei army can break it!

"Kill!"

When the time came, the Wei army took the opportunity to kill when the soldiers of the Jin army outside the Wei city were asleep.

Although the Jin army had some precautions, but the troops were not many, the Jin generals Sima Wuji and Zhou Chu led their troops to fight to the death, but they could not withstand the fierce offensive of the Wei army, and only resisted for half an hour, and then the whole line collapsed.

"Kill me!"

Li Xin waved a spear in his hand, killed the Jin pawn when he saw it, and rushed left and right to kill, and there was no enemy under him. At this time, the sharp-eyed Li Xin suddenly saw the goodness of a Jin general opposite, so he went out with a gun and began to fight with this Jin general.

This Jin general is none other than Huan Wen's henchman Zhou Chu!

"Suffer death!"

Seeing that the tip of the spear was about to stab him in the face, Zhou Chu hurriedly slashed out of his sword, swept away Li Xin's spear, and then bullied forward and grabbed the barrel of his gun.

Li Xin is a famous general of the Wei army, brave and brave, and one of the best generals in the Wei generals, and Zhou Chu is certainly a second-rate general in the world, even if he encounters a first-class general, he can't beat him, and he can probably escape, but he met Li Xin today, and he deserves to be unlucky!

After more than a dozen rounds of fighting between the two, Li Xin bought a flaw and let Zhou Chu's long sword stab, and then he directly swung the spear and swept it, and intuitively slapped Zhou Chu down from the horse.

"Where to run!"

Zhou Chu, who was knocked off the horse, fell into a lot of meat and wanted to escape, but Li Xin was not good at stubble, and threw a shot over, directly penetrating Zhou Chu's breastplate!

Seeing that the general of the Jin army finally lost his breath, Li Xin cut off his head again and led the Wei army to continue to pursue and kill the remaining enemies.

In this battle, the Wei army beheaded more than 10,000 people, and also killed the Jin general Zhou Chu, causing Huan Wen to lose a right-hand man, which can be described as a complete victory.

When the news came back to Xuchang, Huan Wenton felt a splitting headache, and sighed and cried: "Yuansun (Zhou Chuzi) Ah, Yuansun!" I lost my grandson, I am really like a father who has lost his family, and Liu Bei has lost Zhuge Kongming! It hurts me! It hurts me! ”

Seeing Huan Wen crying like this, all the generals were related, and they had a feeling of dying for their confidants.

Zhou Chuguan worships General Yingyang and Qianwei Taishou, this is already a big official position, and Zhou Chu's death like this will be a huge blow to the Jin army. But in order to win the victory of the mourning soldiers, Huan Wen ordered the whole army to be vegetarian and vowed to avenge Zhou Chu!

And after Zhou Chu died in battle, Sun Sheng did not dare to be sloppy, and withdrew directly with his soldiers and horses, not daring to stay in Gushan.

This road is impassable, so Huan Wen began to detour. On the third day of Zhou Chu's death, Huan Wen sent generals Zhou Fu and Sima Wuji to attack Yangwu, intending to attack Daliang from Yangwu.

After all, Daliang is the capital of Wei, his wife and children are there, and Ran Min did not dare to take risks, so he sent Ran Ke to lead his troops to aid Yangwu.

The autumn wind is fierce.

The military flag is stronger.

Countless autumn grasses fluttered.

Countless soldiers stood in a roar.

Drumbeat.

At first, the drum beat was a little dull, then it became denser and more numerous, like a popping bean, and it shook the universe like a bean.

The neighing of the war horses, the cold iron armor, the billowing wolf smoke, the white clouds, the red blood, the wide eyes, the wailing throat, under the deafening urging of the dense drums, were extremely miserable, like a bright red sunset, burning the entire sky.

"Attack!"

"Kill!"

Whether it is the Jin army or the Wei army, they will expose their most brutal side in this wilderness.

The tactics of the Wei army and the Jin army were roughly the same, and the weapons and equipment were similar, but the gap between the strength and combat power was evident in this war.

The commander of the Wei army is Ran Ke, more than 10,000 well-equipped, almost armed to the teeth, and 20,000 infantry auxiliary, but this combat effectiveness is quite strong.

As for the side of the Jin army, it was dominated by foot soldiers, 5,000 cavalry, and 40,000 infantry, of which the infantry included archers, spearmen, shield soldiers and other troops.

The south is good at foot combat, and the north is good at cavalry warfare, each with its own advantages, but in this kind of wilderness battle, it is the cavalry of the north that has the advantage.

It is no wonder that over the years, under the pressure of Wei, Goguryeo and other three countries in the northeast, as well as Tuyuhun in the northwest, did not dare to import a large number of horses to the Jin State, so they had to rely on smuggling to scrape together, which brought up tens of thousands of cavalry.

As soon as the battle began, Ran Ke led more than 10,000 iron cavalry to bravely attack the infantry phalanx of the Jin army.

The cavalry has three good, guerrilla, impact, and run if you can't beat it.

Against the first two, the partial box car strengthens the bow and crossbow is enough, this method was followed from the Han Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, usually as a baggage car, follow the brigade, and form a temporary walled city in wartime, and can prevent arrows and can resist the impact, and the cavalry can only be hung and beaten when they rush up.

And this set of methods almost does not require training, there are cars and crossbows, the Han Dynasty Qiang chaos, all kinds of alliances, looting the state capital, General Duan only brought 5,000 temporary levies of civilian good shooters, with a partial box car, to pacify the Qiang chaos.

In order to deal with the powerful cavalry of the Wei State, Huan Wen and the others had already come up with a method of restraint.

One of the most important is to protect the front while taking into account the side and rear, and try not to leave dead corners when defending.

It is well known that the flanks and rear were the weaker parts of the infantry phalanx's defenses, and the cavalry could easily take advantage of them from these two sides, so it was necessary to be on guard in as many ways as possible.

The second is to maintain long-range firepower and deter enemy cavalry with projectile weapons such as bows and crossbows.

Comparatively, light infantry has a higher rate of fire and a higher stability than a mounted archer, and can inflict damage before enemy cavalry approaches.

So when Ran Ke led more than 10,000 iron cavalry to rush over, the infantry phalanx of the Jin army immediately changed, and directly put out a shield array, but exposed the middle corner, put out three hundred bed crossbows, and killed and injured at least five hundred Wei cavalry in one round of shooting.

Immediately afterwards, the Jin army's arrow array was also very sharp, the arrows in the sky were like locusts crossing the border, because the iron armor worn by the Wei cavalry was very strong, and everyone's arm strength was different, so it could not be shot through for a while.

But they can't stand up to being able to shoot the horses under the crotch of the cavalry!

So in these rounds of arrow rain, as many as 1,000 Wei cavalry were killed in battle!

When the iron cavalry of the Wei army broke into the Jin army array, under the order of Zhou Fu, the Jin army quickly changed its formation, the shield array dispersed, and a large number of Wei war horses were killed by the horse pit, the triangular nail of the thistle terrestris and the tripping horse rope, and then the spearmen of the Wei army directly assassinated the past through the shield array, provoking many Wei cavalry.

This battle is so aggrieved!

Ran Ke was angry and rushed to kill in the Jin army's phalanx for a while, but because the Jin army's phalanx was too tight and interlocking, he couldn't break through, so he had to take the remnants of the Wei cavalry out of the encirclement and fled into Yangwu City.

This battle once again refreshed the world's understanding of the Jin army's infantry!

Infantry against cavalry, or in the wilderness, the Jin army was able to achieve such a big victory!

It's incredible......
