    Several other scouts, however, unanimously testified for their captain. After listening to them describe the situation behind the mountain in detail, Wang Shangli couldn't help but not believe it. At that time, he was shocked and angry, and a layer of blood appeared on his forehead.  Cold sweat.  "Tan thief, Tan thief, you are so arrogant, do you really think that with 10,000 troops, you can eat me in one bite?!" Although he was cursing angrily, his heart was already beating. Tan Xiao's troops far exceeded his.  It was expected, and he had completed the preliminary division and encirclement of him. If the four thousand Western troops behind the mountains on both sides were wiped out, it would be a rhythm of being defeated by each one. It would not be surprising if he was really eaten by Tan Xiao in one bite.  Tan Xiao was able to bring 10,000 soldiers, there must be something wrong!  This attack on Guiyang may fail.  Now, we must seek help from Liu Wenxiu.  Wang Shangli ordered the troops to launch another attack on the southern hillside, and rescued General Zhang Wu as much as possible. At the same time, he set off fireworks and rockets and sent the highest level warning message to Liu Wenxiu, telling him that the collapse of the front army was imminent and asking him to come to the rescue immediately.  ¡­ ¡°What on earth is Wang Shangli doing? Alas, today¡¯s battle is really chaotic.¡± Seeing Wang Shangli issue the highest level warning, Liu Wenxiu felt as if his head was as big as a bucket.  Like Wang Shangli, he also underestimated the strength of the Chu army, thinking that the opponent had at most 20,000 soldiers. According to the worst-case scenario, in addition to the 5,000 Chu troops of the 75th Division, Tan Xiao would lead the remaining 10,000 soldiers.  Five thousand Chu troops came out and besieged Wang Shangli with all their strength. Wang Shangli also had more than 8,000 and more than 3,000 (troops guarding the river bank), totaling 12,000 troops. They were roughly evenly matched. Why did the entire army suddenly collapse?  What Liu Wenxiu didn't expect was that Wang Shangli just wanted to annihilate Tan Xiao and spread out his troops. The Chu army took the opportunity to divide and surround him. Therefore, the situation deteriorated rapidly and the collapse of the whole line was not an exaggeration.  "Send him another two thousand reinforcements, and tell Wang Shangli to continue to stand firm and wait for reinforcements." Liu Wenxiu wanted to add that if he could not stop the Chu army's attack, Wang Shangli would have to engage in military law. It is a pity that fireworks cannot be transmitted like this.  Complex information.  As the commander-in-chief of the entire army, he must coordinate the overall situation and cannot unconditionally agree to reinforcements wherever he is asked. In Liu Wenxiu's view, Wang Shangli can persist for a while no matter what, but the Chinese army has reached a critical moment to eliminate the 75th Division.  , at this time the whole army went to rescue Wang Shangli, not only failed, but also faced great risks.  Including the 2,000 reinforcements sent to Wang Shangli this time, Liu Wenxiu has become a polished commander. Although he urgently ordered the rear army to move closer to the Chinese army and ordered them to send another 3,000 reinforcements to come quickly, the Chinese army was still very empty.  , In addition, Liu Wenxiu also saw the message Wang Shangli sent with fireworks. After he transferred the defenders on the river beach, a very big hole appeared there. In order to fill this hole, Liu Wenxiu sent the last more than a thousand personal guards to  They were all sent up.  ¡°The King of Qin¡¯s soldiers are really hard to use!¡± Liu Wenxiu complained secretly in his heart.  The current chaotic situation was mostly caused by Wang Shangli. After his former army discovered the enemy's situation, he only sent an officer to give a brief report to Liu Wenxiu, then mobilized the troops on his own initiative and fought ping-pong-pong with the Chu army.  According to the latest information Liu Wenxiu received, Tan Xiao still only had two or three thousand troops. Although he had thought that Wang Shangli had underestimated Tan Xiao's strength, he gave up the seven thousand troops he was about to eat without knowing the information.  Fifteenth Division, Liu Wenxiu would never make such a decision no matter what.  There is such a problem in mountainous operations. There is a serious disconnect between the troops. Most of the time, they can only fight independently. The more troops Liu Wenxiu has, the more serious this problem will be. He has already prepared for the worst, even if Wang Shangli is there  They suffered heavy losses and were even defeated by the Chu army. As long as the Seventy-fifth Division was eliminated, at least half of them could be recovered. If Wang Shangli performed better and could persevere in the end, there would be greater hope of winning this battle.  Amidst the sound of war drums, Gao Wengui and Lu Mingchen launched another attack on Qifu.  In the past period of time, Gao Wengui and Lu Mingchen had already attacked twice, attacking the 75th Division from both sides with three times the force, but they were both repelled by the 75th Division. On the one hand, it was because of the 75th Division's tenacious resistance;  It was also because of the unfavorable terrain of the Western Army that Gao Wengui and Lu Mingchen were unwilling to fight head-on and wanted to minimize their own casualties.  This attack was different. Liu Wenxiu had already issued a death order, asking the two of them to eliminate the 75th Division as soon as possible at all costs. Gao Wengui and Lu Mingchen also felt that the heat was almost up, so they pressed all the troops up. The little  A mountain top was surrounded by 15,000 Western troops. The supervising team followed the first wave of attacking troops up the mountain. Anyone who retreated in fear of the battle was killed on the spot.  "Kill!" The 75th Division also suffered hundreds of casualties at this time. Fortunately, the previous battles were all successful.The morale was high. Although the soldiers were a little nervous when they saw the Western Army attacking with all their strength, they were not timid. They divided their troops into two lines and formed a neat formation to resist the Western Army's attack.  "Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!" The Western Army's attack was like a wave on the shore. Before one wave stopped, another wave rolled up, followed by a third and fourth wave. The back wave pushed the front wave.  , constantly beating the Chu army's military formation, and red foam composed of blood appeared. The Chu army's military formation was also like sand and stones in the waves, being chipped away and washed away layer by layer, gradually becoming thin.  "The Seventy-fifth Division can't hold on much longer!" The battle continued. In the distant valley, several staff officers persuaded Zhou Guodong in unison, asking him to send troops to rescue the Seventy-fifth Division immediately. Zhou Guodong looked at Liu Wenxiu's center from a distance.  After hesitating for a while, he finally waved his fist.  "No wait, let's do this!" He really wanted to wait until Liu Tichun arrived and then attack Liu Wenxiu together, but the 75th Division suffered hundreds of casualties in this moment. Although they were still fighting hard, no matter how stubborn they were,  The troops also have their own limits. If Zhou Guodong does not send troops to support them, even if they do not surrender, they will be defeated by the Western Army and then wiped out.  "Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!" With the sound of a trumpet, endless ambushes suddenly poured out of the valley. Following Zhou Guodong's flag up the hillside, tens of thousands of Chu soldiers shouted in unison, plus the voices in the valley.  The echo effect was as shocking as a mountain falling apart. The soldiers of the Western Army who were attacking the 75th Division stopped one after another and looked here in confusion. Liu Wenxiu, who was standing on the mountain ridge further away, revealed everything.  Smile in hand.  "Zhou Guodong has indeed appeared! I have long expected that you must be hiding nearby. As long as I attack this Lao Shizi's 75th Division, you will be unable to bear it and show your fox tail. Hum, at this point,  Let¡¯s see what other tricks you can do!¡± Liu Wenxiu judged based on experience that the 75th Division would not be a lonely army. There must be other Chu troops cooperating with him. In addition, Zhou Guodong is the commander of this army, but he has always been  Not showing up was also a major suspicion point, so he must attack the 75th Division fiercely and force Zhou Guodong out. Now he is finally done.  "Zhou Guodong probably has insufficient troops, so he has been holding back until now. He probably has more than 2,000 armored soldiers Well, no, it looks like he has at least more than 3,000 armored soldiers Oops, why is it endless? Could it be that he has 5,000?  Soldiers? In that case, why is Wang Shangli in a hurry?" Seeing more and more Chu soldiers emerging from the valley, the smile on Liu Wenxiu's face gradually solidified, because he was too far away to see the Chu soldiers just now.  As they rushed out of the valley, they could only come into view after they climbed to a higher place. At first, there were more than 2,000 people, but the follow-up troops continued to flow, and soon they became more than 3,000 people, and then there were more  It became five thousand. When the number of Chu soldiers in sight exceeded eight thousand and was still increasing, Liu Wenxiu's expression completely changed.  "Zhou Guodong actually has fourteen thousand no, fifteen thousand armored soldiers! Oh, what the hell is Wang Shangli doing? Behead him!" The Chu army finally rushed out of the valley and appeared in Liu Wenxiu's field of vision.  , he counted carefully again, and with the addition of the 75th Division, Zhou Guodong's total strength was as high as 14,000 (the 75th Division had already suffered 1,000 casualties), which was similar to Liu Wenxiu's Chinese army. It was obvious that  , this is the main direction of the Chu army's attack. Almost all the main forces of the Chu army are here. At this time, Liu Wenxiu has believed that Tan Xiao really only has two or three thousand soldiers. It is a shame that Wang Shangli has tens of thousands of troops, but Tan Xiao  Xiao kept asking for help, and finally even issued the highest level warning, and asked Liu Wenxiu's entire army to support him. It was the most ridiculous thing in the world, and a joke that was not funny.  "Whoosh~, Whoosh~" After Zhou Guodong's army rushed out of the valley, they immediately released two fireworks. The patterns hanging in the sky were very delicate. They should have been made by Liuyang's skilled craftsmen, which attracted the soldiers of the three armies to look up.  "This is the sun, it's a red sun with streaks of light around it." "That's a big mistake. These are clearly two chrysanthemums. Although red chrysanthemums are rare, I have seen them once before" Liu Wenxiu  Behind him, several military counselors and scribes were talking in low voices. They were responsible for logistics and paperwork. They were completely amateurs in the military field. Although they were incompatible with the atmosphere of the army, people who could write and calculate were inseparable from the army.  Talents, so Liu Wenxiu was very tolerant of them and kept them with him.  When the two armies were fighting, they were still talking about irrelevant gossip. Liu Wenxiu frowned slightly, but didn't say anything in the end. At this moment, he was very anxious, feeling that the battle situation was out of control, and he was not in the mood to care about such trivial matters.  &nbsp"Zhou Guodong set off those two fireworks. I don't know what message he was sending, but no matter how you look at it, it's not a good sign.
