    "Command Lu Mingchen to turn around and fight Zhou Guodong, and Gao Wengui to divide half of the troops to support Lu Mingchen" In the middle of the narrow mountains, Zhou Guodong's 10,000-strong army occupied a large area, giving people an overwhelming feeling. They swarmed towards Lu Mingchen,  The landscape is turning, and Lu Mingchen is now facing enemies from both sides, and is in a more dangerous situation 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 recharging its strength. Liu Wenxiu immediately  He concluded that Lu Mingchen was definitely not Zhou Guodong's opponent. If Gao Wengui was not sent to support him, he would be defeated in a confrontation.  Ten thousand troops!  Zhou Guodong actually has 10,000 troops!  This was far beyond Liu Wenxiu¡¯s expectation. He was completely unprepared beforehand, which led to such a passive situation.  Lu Mingchen was on the right side of the 75th Division. If Gao Wengui wanted to support him, he had to make a big circle around the hillside. His reinforcements had just descended to the bottom of the mountain. Zhou Guodong's troops had already rushed to the battlefield and started a fierce battle with Lu Mingchen. Gao Wengui did not  The other way is to launch an all-out fierce attack on the 75th Division on the top of the mountain, contain them as much as possible, and prevent Lu Mingchen from being attacked from two sides.  Lu Mingchen was also an experienced general. Seeing Zhou Guodong's large-scale attack, he had already prepared accordingly. He did not bother to attack the 75th Division again, and mobilized his main force to turn to Zhou Guodong. At the same time, he slowly retreated back, intending to move closer to Gao Wengui, and another  A small number of troops faced the 75th Division to prevent them from taking the opportunity to chase down the hillside.  "Fortunately, Lu Mingchen and Gao Wengui responded well and may be able to stop Zhou Guodong." Liu Wenxiu breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Mingchen and Gao Wengui combined have more than 10,000 troops, which is comparable to Zhou Guodong. Although they were attacked by the opponent, the losses must not be small.  , but it should still be able to protect itself.  Liu Wenxiu once again sent an order to the rear army, ordering them to send all their soldiers and march at full speed to meet the main force.  Before sending troops, he thought that this battle would definitely be won, but now the situation was in danger of getting out of control. If the subsequent war still went unfavorably, he planned to withdraw his troops.  Of course, even the withdrawal is temporary. After Liu Wenxiu readjusts his deployment, he will definitely come back and attack Guiyang again. However, after this setback, the strength of the Western Army has been damaged, and he can no longer use encirclement on all sides when he attacks next time.  According to the tactics, as long as the Chu army is driven away first and Guiyang is recovered, the mission will be completed.  ¡° Going forward, Liu Wenxiu cannot think so far into how to fight this battle.  In short, it will be a very headache.  Because of the failure of the siege of Guiyang, the Western Army has lost the 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 if they roam around and fight in the future. It is possible to defeat one or two provinces to the ground.  Liu Wenxiu's bottom line is to hold the Yunnan base camp, and then mobilize a large army to encircle and suppress the Western Expeditionary Army. This will definitely affect the plan to attack Jiangnan. Sun Kewang wants to go down the river to capture Nanjing, and it will take at least one or two years to prepare. The Western Army  The overall strategy must be adjusted accordingly.  ¡°Well, let¡¯s get through this level first, and then let¡¯s talk about other things.¡± Liu Wenxiu withdrew her 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. The fight was very difficult. The mountainous terrain was narrow, the surface was undulating, and there were many shrubs and vegetation, so both armies gave up their formations.  And fight, return to the original melee fighting.  At the beginning, there was a very obvious front between the two armies. Because of the undulations of the terrain, it was still a straight line. However, as the battle intensified, the area covered by this front quickly expanded and became thicker.  A battle zone hundreds of paces wide was formed, and began to twist and deform. Thousands of soldiers fought to the death on this battle zone. I am among you, and you are among me. The screams of death are endless, and the collision of weapons is endless.  There was a lot of noise, blood bursting out, and corpses piled up everywhere. They kept attacking back and forth. From a high place, looking from a distance, it looked like a giant python that was constantly trembling and twisting.  But this kind of primitive battle on the front line is not just about two groups of soldiers rushing together and slashing at each other. What really determines the outcome is the attack from the rear.  War flags were waving and drums and trumpets were blaring. Zhou Guodong and Lu Mingchen each commanded their troops and continuously launched attacks on the enemy's front. They ranged from dozens to hundreds to hundreds to thousands, forming assault troops like two  The giants each swung their fists and hit each other hard.  Under such a powerful impact, the battle zone between the two armies will often be broken through in an instant, until the opponent blocks the offensive, and a new battle zone is formed. Looking from a high place, it looks like that giant python.  He was shaking his body violently and moving back and forth, as if he was fighting fiercely with an invisible enemy and avoiding some terrible harm.  "How magnificent! How magnificent!" Those scholars and masters were very excited.?The blood was stimulated by the fierce battle. Different from the wild battles on the plains, where the advance and retreat were well organized, this large-scale decisive battle in the mountains, which was closer to the primitive state, seemed more cruel and direct. If this was a giant battle,  The fight between them, unable to fight in formation, is like removing the protective gear and gloves of both sides. Every heavy punch will hit the opponent's head and bleed, and soon become scarred, bruised and swollen.  Since they cannot fight in formation, a single soldier becomes very fragile and insignificant. When faced with the impact of a large group of enemies, he is almost instantly overwhelmed. Only by sending troops to intercept frontally can the enemy's impact be blocked. If the intercepting troops are also defeated  , the front line will continue to bend inward until the next intercepting force comes up and finally blocks the enemy's impact. The soldiers will then merge into the battle in place, waiting for the next impact to arrive.  "Our army seems to be at a disadvantage." A scribe whispered.  Although he was a layman, he could still see that Lu Mingchen had been passively being beaten and suffered many more casualties than the Chu army.  Not only did Zhou Guodong's troops have an advantage in numbers, but the morale and physical strength of the soldiers were also higher than those of the Western Army. They were one weight heavier than Lu Mingchen. He was taller, had longer arms and had more physical strength. He punched him hard one after another. At the beginning,  At that time, while Lu Mingchen was parrying, he could still watch Leng Zi fight back with two punches. However, 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 stormy combination punches, and it was too late.  He didn't dare to fight back easily.  He is now parrying with all his strength, and he can still hold on for a while. Before he runs out of energy, he will not be easily knocked down by the opponent. If he rashly fights back and exposes his flaws, he will be punched on the chin by Zhou Guodong, and he will be beaten straight away.  Lie on the ground and let the other party ravage you.  "Hold on! Hold on!" Liu Wenxiu cheered Lu Mingchen secretly in her heart.  Because Zhou Guodong's strength was underestimated, he could only watch Lu Mingchen being beaten. There was no way he could do anything about it. Fortunately, the 3,500 reinforcements sent by Gao Wengui were about to arrive on the battlefield. With this new force joining the battle,  Lu Mingchen can turn danger into safety.  Time passed by, and every minute and every second, countless soldiers of the Western Army fell in a pool of blood. The 3,500 reinforcements were already running at full strength, but in Liu Wenxiu's eyes, they were slower than snails.  Climbing still slowly, they finally arrived at Lu Mingchen's rear formation, took over the armor and helmets from the auxiliary soldiers, put them on in a hurry, and then formed several assault troops to launch counterattacks against the Chu army one after another.  Counterattack!  Liu Wenxiu blew out a strong breath from her nose, and a big stone fell to the ground in her heart. Lu Mingchen's battle line had just changed from an I-shaped to an irregular C-shaped. Not only could the Chu army invest more troops in the fighting zone,  It also became a three-sided pincer attack, and the situation was very dangerous. After these 3,500 reinforcements entered the battle, they immediately pushed back the Chu troops on both ends and restored the stability of the battle line.  Just hold on!  Liu Wenxiu did not expect to defeat Zhou Guodong in a single battle. He just hoped that Gao Wengui and Lu Mingchen would stabilize their positions and wait until reinforcements from the rear army arrived. Then he would help them withdraw from the battle. After ensuring their own safety, they would then look for fighters or retreat with the entire army Now  The situation on the battlefield is very chaotic. The situation of the front army Wang Shangli is unclear, and the situation here of the Chinese army is not optimistic. There are only a few thousand soldiers in the rear army. The Yunnan soldiers coming from the west of Guiyang City are far away and cannot quench their thirst.  , Liu Wenxiu didn't have many cards to play anymore, and she didn't want to continue to fight with Zhou Guodong to avoid accidents and put the entire army into greater danger.  At this time, a firework rose from the foot of the mountain in the distance. It was not a signal sent by the Western Army, but the beautiful fireworks of the Chu Army. Then, everyone in Zhou Guodong's army shouted, with the size of two thousand-man troops  Launching another attack on Lu Mingchen, Liu Wenxiu looked like he was in high morale. He suddenly turned around and was shocked to see a group of large and small boats approaching on the Nanming River, with square red flags flying on the bows.  "Sure enough, the Chu thieves are attacking in a boat!" Seeing the Chu army's "warship" appear, Liu Wenxiu frowned a little more, but he was not panicked. After all, the Chu army originally controlled the Nanming River waterway.  As the commander-in-chief of the Chu army, he would not let go of this convenient advantage, but would use it as much as possible to attack the enemy. However, Liu Wenxiu was also prepared for this. Wang Shangli transferred more than 3,000 soldiers by the river.  After that, he sent the last more than a thousand soldiers around him, thinking that they could resist for a while.  You don¡¯t need to win, you just need to resist for a while.  Three thousand reinforcements from the rear army will arrive soon, and there will be two to three thousand soldiers behind them. By then, Liu Wenxiu will have more than 7,000 mobile troops, but the main force of the Chu army is with Zhou Guodong and Tan Xiao, who are coming by boat.  The Chu army only had 2,000 or even 1,000 men at most. Liu Wenxiu was 99% sure that he could easily drive them into the Nanming River to feed the fish.
