There is strength, on the self-confidence, the Western army through a hundred battles, these two years and in Yunnan to maintain a strong, the strength of the army than that year and a big step, even in the face of the so-called invincible eight flag soldiers also dare to fight, and not afraid of the recent blaze of the Chu army ... ... good, Chu army in recent years always won the war, eight flags also repeatedly defeated in their hands, but in the Western army generals look, these few battles have great chance, eight flags are not adapted to the southern climate, eight flags are not adapted to the south.Although it can be won for a while, it will be beaten back to the original shape sooner or later.

Get out of here and get it back sooner or later.

Seeing the Chu army on the attack, the Western army will be high Chengen mouth corner of the sneer with contempt: "For a long time, Zhou Guo's character is like a fire, temper is impetuous, today, he saw it so, he ran long-distance attack on Lingchuan, based on the unstable to attack the whole army, really put my Daxi Army in the eye?" 」

The left and right will ask for war: "Chu thieves light enemy into the opportunity, it is a good opportunity to break the enemy, I am willing to lead the army to go to war, save Zhou Guodong, step through the Chu Thieves camp!"

The Western Army and Chu Jun did not really fight, Zhou Guodong should be locked up in the camp, and then launched a few rounds of tentative attack, familiar with the way of the Western Army to attack, he did his best as soon as he went to war, just like when fighting Wang Ba fist like a windmill, and then there is no room for manoeuvre, it looks overwhelming, but in fact, it is the way to defeat, is the big taboo of the general.

"Yes, today I wait for a war to break the enemy, let the world see who is the real tiger and wolf division..."

Gao Chengen is also a veteran who has followed Zhang's loyalty for many years, half a lifetime of big battles, small battles, victories, defeats fought hundreds of battles, and has seen any scene.What kind of scene has a set of their own way of responding, immediately pass the order.A thousand people were transferred to form a strong front to meet Zhou Guodong, and the other two thousand people were rounded off from both sides to copy the flank.He himself led nearly a thousand people in the back as a reserve team... The Western Army fought bravely, disciplined, and did not let thousands of people squeezed into a group to kill out in the field, otherwise it was easy to be chaotic in command, Zhou Guodong's soldiers and horses were killed like a swarm, and although it seemed that although the momentum was fierce, in fact, as long as the hundreds of people who were in the forefront of the battle, the next team of people were playing soy sauce.

"Chou Guodong, mediocre as well."Gao Chengen looked at the figure of Zhou Guodong, a member of the Chu Army's Chinese Army.Make a light assessment.

"Wang Kefan may have a few skills, Zhou Guodong followed him to steal the big name, in fact, is a reckless student, today just for the handsome sacrificial knife!"A ministry will point to the battlefield and laugh: "Look, our army has gone straight from the two wings, but Zhou Guodong has not yet changed!"

The cold weapons war pays attention to the battle of the array, and the method of the formation has a saying.In the linguine language, it is to adjust the formation at any time, eliminate its own weaknesses, and in response to the weakness of the enemy, Chu Jun is still a rectangular combination of square phalanx.Maintain a fixed speed forward approaching, not so much invariable, but more like wanting to change without the ability to change... change in the process.It’s not that simple, it might cause confusion.The army does not fight, sometimes even if it is a little loss.The Lord will not be able to change easily.

“This week, there’s a bit of self-knowledge... well, no!”The high face suddenly changed.

On the battlefield ahead, the marching drums of Chu Jun suddenly stopped, and the soldiers stopped, crossed, and arranged in a row, like a straight line drawn with a ruler, and could discharge such a neat formation under the emergency stop, how could they not have the ability to change?

"Probably reserve, after the reserve, and then rush forward, to see him guide the flag, know where to rush..." A ministry will be inside the evaluation, just said half, confused eyes, mouth tongue no sound, thousands of Chu soldiers together raised the flag gun, under the command of the officer pulled the trigger, a clump of fire with white smoke spewing, a burst of fire with white smoke.

The gun!

Continuous shooting of guns!

The range of the flanked guns, the power of the array gun salvo, were greatly surprised by the Western army, and the Western army generals did not expect that the Chu army would use the musketeers as the offensive, and still waiting for the other side's burst, the defense preparation for the flaming gun was insufficient, and the hordes of Western soldiers were defeated and injured, and the formation was immediately sparse.

The march drum sounded again, the figure of the soldiers of the army flashed in the smoke, one, two, two rows, two rows..., the Chu army soldiers fought several rounds of guns, saw the enemy's heavy losses, immediately advanced more than ten steps, on the one hand, continued to chase the enemy, on the other hand to avoid the thick smoke.Seeing the Chu army soldiers silently stepping out of the smoke, brushing up the flint gun, Gao Chengen finally reacted, a series of orders, transferred the reserve team to hold the front of the attack, drumming the flag ordered the troops on both sides of the rapid attack!

Chu military muskets attack, unexpectedly sharp, the front of more than a thousand people to see the casualties nearly half, no doubt has been unable to stop, only the back of the reserve sent to the top for a while, the troops on both sides of the roundabout at this time to seize the time to launch a clamping offensive, as long as you can rush into the Chu army array, and the musketeers to fight, there is a chance to win.

People shouted at hist, the drums of war, Gao Chengen looked at the Western army on both sides of the army to kill the Chu army, the eyes almost dropped blood, the battlefield is indeed full of risks, a little unnoticed situation turned to the situation, just now he is full of confidence in the defeat of Zhou Guodong, but now has reached the last moment of desperate, if ..., if the reserve can not withstand the attack of Chu arms and guns, if the two sides of the army can not break the army.

The reality is colder than expected, and in fact there are problems on both sides.

Gao Chengen sent the reserve team of 800 people, in addition to the escort of the Chinese flag a small number of soldiers and horses, almost out of the nest, the task of these 800 people sounded very clear "blocking the Chu army's attack", but there is no specific implementation plan.Blocked?How to stop?Use flesh and blood to block the lead bullet?Chu Jun is still so unhurriedly with the volley of guns, shooting a few rounds after a short distance, the front of the Western army soldiers less and less, the eight hundred people filled in when the meat shield is certainly not enough, the general of the leader bit his teeth, simply with everyone launched a back charge.

Go up!

The fighting!

Chu Jun's fire beats hard, it is difficult to fight with fire civets?It is better to fight the casualties and the soldiers to launch a charge, it is better to be beaten and unable to fight back.

The heroic Western soldiers braved a round of lead bullets with their heads covered their faces, and went to the subsequent launch of the charge, unexpectedly, when they rushed to the Chu army with scars, they saw a shiny bayonet!

The reserve of eight hundred people threw in, like a stone thrown into the pond, and only two blisters appeared on the water, and then disappeared.

The roundabout troops on both sides received orders from Gao Chengen, did not care about not yet reached the most favorable side of the position, directly from the direction of 45 degrees oblique attack, and Chu army's cold weapons forces hit together, and the attack sharp musketeers are different, Chu's long gunmen and knife shields have been taking the defensive, do not seek merit, but seek to die, the Western army rushed up to fight, the Western army attack is not slow to fight back, just like the old guard.Don't give him the angle in the foot.

Two pieces of sugar!

Chu army's cold weapons force in general, long gun array is very mature, and the eight-flag cavalry fighting is not panicked, in the face of infantry-based Western army is more than enough, the Western army's attack is fierce, long gun array retreated, the Western army attack slightly slack, immediately strong rebound, appears flexible.After the muskets in the middle retreated from the attack of the Western Army Reserve, the Western army on both sides lost its sharpness, and the attack was even more unruly, and it was impossible to break through the Chu Army's interception.

“Defeat!”

Gao Chengen through the battle, the choice between the extremely decisive, immediately ordered the gold to collect the army, the Western army has been unable to stop the attack of Chu arms and gunmen, until the enemy killed the Chinese army, the whole army will be in chaos, lose command, may have the danger of the whole army ruptured, and now retreat can save most of the strength, the loss to a minimum.

The army was defeated like a mountain, the Western army was fighting with the Chu army, there was no buffer in the middle, suddenly retreated, the Chu army immediately rolled up, fortunately, the Western army also had a strong fighting force, all ministries and fought and retreated, temporarily did not turn into a full-scale defeat... While fighting, while retreating, Gao Chengen from Lingchuan Gate was getting closer and closer, seeing Chu Jun bite behind, he dared not rush into the city, with the defeated soldiers around the city, and retreated to the southwest.

Chu Jun at this time divided into two shares, a follow-up along the road, a left to clean the battlefield, monitor the movement of Lingchuan County, Zhou Guodong with soldiers and horses to Lingchuan City, around the city wall back and forth to go back and forth, pointing to the northeast corner of a ordered attack.

“This is the ladder to break the city!”

"No," Wang said, "ant-popped siege to the city is the least desirable."An officer advises.

"Water is impermanent, the soldiers are impermanent, here to quickly decide."Zhou Guodong's unusually genial and obviously in a good mood, and it is of great significance to conquer Lingchuan County to get Guilin, and if something can be interfered with in time, it is of great significance.

The main force of the Western army was taken out of the city by Gao Chengen to decide the battle, Lingchuan County only three or five hundred people of the second-line troops, when the Chu army set up a simple ladder after the attack, only resisted a quarter of an hour was forced to abandon the city and flee, Chu army casualties less than 20, much less than expected.

The battle of Lingchuan was the first battle between Chu and the Western Army, and ended with Chu's victory.

The news reached Guilin, the city was jubilant, the Western army stopped the offensive, there was no movement for three days, and the fortified Tucheng even stopped, obviously in the transfer of troops, ready to meet the Chu army.

Strangely, after the Chu army occupied Lingchuan, he stood still again.(Unfinished...)
