    On the hillside on the right, the soldiers of the two armies were fighting risklessly.  The slopes here are relatively gentle, but the surface is covered with a thick layer of vegetation, and bushes grow in many places. The two armies are trying their best to grab the terrain that is favorable to them, dividing into several teams to attack each other, and the situation quickly evolves  It became a melee.  Different from a chaotic battle where command is completely lost, a melee is just that the two sides cannot form a formation to fight. The battle lines are intertwined. You have me, and I have you. The soldiers follow the battle flags and form organized troops one after another. The commander  You can still control these troops, constantly attack the opponent, and strive to divide and surround the enemy. At the same time, you are trying your best to resist the enemy's impact and prevent yourself from being divided and surrounded.  This scene is like two giants hugging each other and fighting. You punch me, and I punch you too. There is defense and offense, but there is almost no dodge. Suddenly, I will kick you hard, or even dig my crotch.  Eyes, throat locks, finger snaps all kinds of tricks are used to the extreme. The winner will be determined until one party can no longer get up.  The Western Army was victorious because of its strong armor. The soldiers wearing iron armor took great advantage in this kind of battle. They could run rampant in the face of the enemy's swords and guns. The Chu Army was victorious because it was waiting for work in leisure and had the condescending location to avoid the strong iron armor of the Western Army soldiers.  He specializes in cutting off the opponent's exposed hands, feet, and limbs, and overall he has a slight advantage Fighting in complex mountainous areas, and unable to fight in formation, the shortcomings of the heavy armor were magnified. Lu Mingchen's 3,500 soldiers were actually beaten.  The 2,500 Chu troops were pressing down and fighting, with more defense and less counterattack, and they seemed to be struggling all the time.  "Good job, you should beat him like this!" Zhou Guodong waved his fist excitedly. The tactics adopted by the 75th Division were exactly as he imagined. Not only could they withstand the Western Army's offensive, but they were also very likely to win a beautiful battle.  .  "Soldiers are good soldiers and generals are good generals. It's amazing. It seems that this Western Expeditionary Army is the elite of the Chu thieves." Liu Wenxiu, who was watching the battle on the other side, also nodded slightly.  The strength of the Seventy-fifth Division was only half that of the Western Army, and it was in the unfavorable situation of being attacked from both sides. If it defended passively, it was very likely to be defeated. However, the commander of this Chu army chose to take the initiative and use half of his troops to withstand the frontal attack.  Gao Wengui and the other half of the army launched a fierce attack on Lu Mingchen. In this way, the Chu army regained the initiative. If they could defeat Lu Mingchen first, the Western army's plan to attack from both sides would be bankrupt.  From a distance, Lu Mingchen's situation is already very dangerous. Although he has more troops, he walked for a long time when he entered the mountain today. He just made a detour to the right wing of the Chu army through all the obstacles. The soldiers' physical strength was very exhausted. The Chu army  But they were waiting for work, and all of them were as brave as tigers descending from the mountain, suppressing the Western army with more troops.  What's even more terrible is that from Liu Wenxiu's perspective, it can be clearly seen that the other half of the Chu army on the mountain took advantage of the favorable geographical location to not only withstand Gao Wengui's attack, but also maintained a reserve team of about 500 people.  Although there are not many troops, they are a vigorous and vigorous force. They are now slowly moving to the right wing, eyeing Lu Mingchen. It seems that they want to wait for him to be exhausted before launching a fatal blow.  "Call the gold and withdraw the troops." Liu Wenxiu ordered expressionlessly.  With the troops retreating now, Lu Mingchen was able to retreat unharmed even though his attack was frustrated. If he waited until the Chu army's 500 fresh troops entered the battle, Lu Mingchen would definitely suffer a big loss or even be defeated.  Duang!  The sound of the gong was clear and melodious, and could be heard far in the mountains. When the Western soldiers who were fighting heard the gong, they gathered up their formation and began to retreat. Because they retreated suddenly without preparation, they would inevitably be chased by the Chu army when they left the battle.  , Lu Mingchen and Gao Wengui both suffered some losses. Fortunately, there were friendly troops in the rear to support them, so the Chu army did not dare to go too deep. After a while, they retreated back to the mountain.  "Instruct the front army and the rear army to each dispatch two thousand armored soldiers to the central army." Liu Wenxiu ordered.  This Chu army was very difficult to deal with. Even if Gao Wengui and Lu Mingchen managed to win, they would still kill one thousand enemies and suffer eight hundred losses. Liu Wenxiu was unwilling to take this risk and decided to invest more troops to defeat the so-called Seventy-fifth Division in one fell swoop.  wipe out.  The problem is that there are not many soldiers left in the Chinese army. If they are all sent to reinforce Gao Wengui and Lu Mingchen, Liu Wenxiu will become a mere commander. Out of his usual cautious attitude, he transferred a total of four soldiers from the front army and the rear army.  Thousands of soldiers are deployed just in case.  After adjusting the deployment, he sent 5,000 soldiers to reinforce Gao Wengui and Lu Mingchen. Two of them can't beat you, but three of them can't beat you. Liu Wenxiu has been watching the whole battle just now, and he feels that the Western Army is only a little bit behind.  Now if we send five thousand reinforcements at once, we will definitely win.  "Liu Wenxiu deserves to be the Three Kings of the Western Army. He is indeed mature and prudent." Zhou Guodong's tone was full of regret.  Just now, the Seventy-fifth Division almost played a classic example of defeating more with less. Unfortunately, Liu Wenxiu paid the money to retreat at the critical moment, but was defeated by Lu Mingchen.After escaping a disaster and sending 5,000 additional reinforcements, they came back again. This battle was no longer easy to fight.  Lu Mingchen and Gao Wengui still used the tactics of attacking from both sides, but they learned from the experience and lessons learned last time. Each family had one person and half, and each family had more than 7,000 soldiers. No matter how the 75th Division allocated its troops, it could not gain a local advantage.  "It would be great if the musketeers were here." A staff officer whispered. The Chu army is best at using muskets to fight. If they use the latest flintlock muskets, 5,000 people are enough to fight head-on with 15,000 Western troops, and there are  A good chance of winning.  "The Musketeers have other tasks." Zhou Guodong patted him on the shoulder and said without any airs: "Brother, don't just focus on the more than 10,000 people Gao Wengui and Lu Mingchen. We must completely defeat Liu Wenxiu's 150,000 army.  , and fight all the way to Kunming. " "Yes, but what to do now?" The staff officer pointed to Lu Mingchen's troops who had already descended to the bottom of the mountain: "The Western Army is about to launch another attack, and we don't support the 75th Division yet.  " "Don't worry, let's see." Zhou Guodong was under tremendous pressure at this time and couldn't help but start cursing like Tan Xiao: "The Seventy-fifth Division is a soldier led by me.  , can fight against the wind, his grandma, despite the fierce momentum of Lu Mingchen and Gao Wengui, it is not that easy to kill my seventy-five divisions!" "No matter whether Gao Wengui and Lu Mingchen have 10,000 troops or 15,000 troops, the entire  The battlefield situation has not changed significantly. For Zhou Guodong, it is not unacceptable to attack now, but it is certainly not the best time. He must wait for other friendly forces to arrive on the battlefield.   "Gao Wengui and Lu Mingchen are considered generals. How come they haven't succeeded in playing ping-pong until now?" Behind two or three hills, about 20,000 Western troops were sitting on the official road to rest.  Among them, the number of soldiers and auxiliaries was roughly the same. The leader, Wang Shangli, was bored and feeding his horses with dry food.  He had just sent people to Liu Wenxiu, requesting to go ahead and attack Tuyun Pass, but Liu Wenxiu refused. He was very impatient with his excessive caution, but in front of his generals, he could not complain openly, so he couldn't help it.  Targeting the innocent Gao Wengui and Lu Mingchen.  In Wang Shangli¡¯s view, 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. It is a miracle that they can walk out of the 90,000-strong mountain. How much armor can they carry?  It is not unusual to have 45,000 auxiliary soldiers among the 50,000-strong Western Expeditionary Army. After capturing Guiyang, Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong could equip a new batch of soldiers. However, since entering Guizhou, the Chu army has fought ten large and small battles.  After a few battles, is there no loss?  In this way, the actual strength of the Western Army should still be just over 10,000, but not even 15,000.  It is right to be cautious, but excessive caution turns into timidity and cowardice, which is a taboo for generals.  Zhou Guodong sent 5,000 ambush troops to fight to the death with all his strength. There will be no more powerful follow-up measures. The reason for this is very simple. Even if the Chu army has 20,000 soldiers, they still have to divide their troops to guard Guiyang City and Tuyun.  How many troops and horses can be mobilized to support these five thousand ambush troops at the passes such as Guan Pass, Yaguan Pass and Nanming River Ferry?  Liu Wenxiu overreacted and commanded his troops in circles.  Now they have to expand the warning range, now they have to divide their troops to guard the river beach, and now they have to move closer to the Chinese army, and they also send additional reinforcements to the two idiots Gao Wengui and Lu Mingchen. In fact, in Wang Shangli's view, leaving a force to keep an eye on these five thousand Chu  The main force of the Western Army can attack Tuyun Pass first. After several armies meet at the foot of Guiyang City, victory is already certain, and the five thousand Chu army will not be able to cause any trouble.  "As the King of Shu gets older, he becomes less courageous." Wang Shangli couldn't help but complained to a confidant named Miao Zhenzong.  "Hehe, the King of Shu was not very courageous to begin with." Miao Zhenzong was also Sun Kewang's best friend and did not have much respect for Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu: "He was afraid that you, Guyuanhou, would conquer Tuyun Pass and take the first credit!" "  Be careful." Wang Shangli shook his finger solemnly and warned earnestly: "The King of Shu is the commander-in-chief of the army, how can he compete with us for credit? Since he has given military orders, we must obey orders, otherwise where is the military discipline?  " "The general realizes his mistake!" Miao Zhenzong nodded repeatedly, with a look of shame on his face, but he was cursing MMP in his heart. Who said bad things about Liu Wenxiu just now?  I will follow your words, but you pretend to be aloof.  At this time, a scout hurriedly ran over: "Report to the Marquis, behind two hills in the northwest, there are some soldiers who seem to be Chu thieves." "How many are they?" Wang Shangli asked casually, here is  On the battlefield where two armies are fighting, it is normal to encounter a small enemy force, such as the enemy's scout team.  "It seems there are thousands of people." The scout saidFeeling guilty, he couldn't say exactly how many people there were, so he could only give a rough guess.
