Chen Dao explained: "Although our army switched to infantry for this battle, we used cavalry. They were completely adapted to fighting on horseback. Once dismounted, they could not adapt to the rugged mountains and forests. Moreover, war horses often became our

The burden has seriously affected our marching speed and combat capabilities."

"You are saying that you used infantry but did not choose the right professional infantry."

"Yes. On the other hand, North Korean soldiers have very few troops and horses. The infantry can disperse and gather skillfully, intercepting and outflanking with ease. Especially the crossbowmen, who form echelons and take turns to fire, are extremely lethal and can compete with the long swords and short spears of the heavy infantry.

They are used in a coordinated manner, with orderly attack and defense. The arrangement of the battle formations and the charge of the infantry group are completely controlled by the flag bearer next to the North Korean general with the flag, the orders are unified, and the connection between the upper and lower levels is not chaotic..."

Nie Zefeng nodded and pointed his fingers upward: "Go back and write a brochure and submit it... What Chen Dao said is the harvest!"

Gao Shun hurriedly replied: "I accept the decree!"

Nie Zefeng turned to Lu Bu again and said, "General Lu Bu, it's easy for you to go and get back easily. You won't lose or lose. I wonder if you gained anything?"

Lu Bu also hurriedly knelt down and said: "A foolish general will return without success, which is a shame for your Majesty."

Nie Zefeng replied: "Yes, in the battle of Liaodong, you avenged your shame, but when you entered Korea, an enemy with mountains within mountains, you had no idea where the Koreans were, and you were confused and confused?"

Lu Bu also replied with deep feelings: "The foolish general did not have a deep understanding of the king's strategy, so he was unable to respond to the situation and was at a loss..."

Nie Zefeng pointed his finger at Gao Shun again: "Second brother must learn from the experience and lessons of the eldest brother. The Koreans have always focused on pre-war reconnaissance, and only three things can be done. Next time, the Koreans must be deaf or blind!"

Gao Shunyou hurriedly replied: "I accept the decree!"

Nie Zefeng looked at Zhang Bao.

Zhang Bao solemnly brushed his sleeves and knelt down and shouted: "The last general Zhang Bao has nothing to say. He was defeated so completely and is extremely embarrassed."

Nie Zefeng joked a little sarcastically: "You Zhang Bao are also burdened by your reputation, so much so that North Korea used three ace forces to deal with General Zhang. It shows that your reputation is too great, which is not a good thing."

Zhang Bao sighed with a sense of sadness: "Your Majesty, my heart is as sharp as a knife, and I am speechless in front of your Majesty."

"I will tell you about the harvest. The North Koreans regard General Zhang as the strong force of our army. General Zhang himself cannot bear such a burden. He must be weak, humble, and open-minded. Do you understand? The weakest person on earth is water.

, any obstruction, no matter how small, can change its direction and shape. In a round container, it becomes a circle, and in a square container, it becomes a square. It seems to have no self-assertion, but once it accumulates into a flood, no matter how big the rock is,

It’s hard to stop its momentum…”

Zhang Bao lowered his head and remained silent.

Nie Zefeng continued: "Weakness will make you strong, and the strong will become weak. The shape of a soldier is like water, and the force is like a strong soldier. It changes according to the formation, and takes advantage of the situation. Don't always hit the strong with force! Please remember this, General Zhang!"

After Nie Zefeng finished speaking, he immediately waved his hand and the guards next to him stood up and read loudly: "The King of Chu appointed Gao Shun as the new pioneer general of the Ping Dynasty, responsible for fighting in the mountainous areas of northern Korea. In view of the insufficient number of people in the trapped camp, Gan is now appointed.

Ning Wei General Fu commanded the original dynasty

A total of 50,000 infantry and navy troops in Xianzhongzhou served as the vanguard and allowed the camp to expand. After General Gao Shun swept through the northern mountainous area, he ordered Zhao Yun to lead the cavalry to attack the central area in the south. Lu Bu swept the left and Chen Dao swept the right.

, General Zhang Bao is appointed as the grain and grass officer."

That night, Gao Shun ordered the army to break camp and set off, taking the waterway southward along the Yalu River at starry night and heading straight for Xiangshan Mountain.

After the more than 10,000 soldiers had eaten their fill, they originally thought they would rest in Liaoyang City for one night and then take a leisurely boat march tomorrow morning.

Who would have thought that as soon as they lay down, before they even had time to close their eyes, the order to break camp had already been conveyed.

The military orders were like mountains, and the soldiers trapped in the camp with iron military qualities would not hesitate at all and immediately packed up and set off.

But after boarding the ship, more than 10,000 soldiers were surprised to find that his warship did not attack Jiangjun Peak along the Han River north, but diverted to Xiangshan, where Chen Dao's regiment failed last time.

"Weren't we going to attack Jiangjun Peak, the first pass into North Korea? Why did we go to Xiangshan Mountain instead?"

Tens of thousands of soldiers all harbored such suspicions, but no one explained to them.

In the next few days, Gao Shun also changed his pace of marching like a sightseeing tour. More than a hundred warships moved southward at full speed without stopping. All the food, drink and diarrhea of ​​the soldiers of the three armies were taken care of on the ships, passing through many places along the way.

In every county, there was no stop for even a quarter of an hour.

Three days later, the fleet crossed the Yalu River and entered the inland distance. The vanguard was no more than fifty miles away from Xiangshan.

The topography of the Yalu River is already in the extension of the eastern end of the Qinling Mountains. The terrain is gradually rising and the water is becoming turbulent and dangerous, making it no longer suitable for boating.

Therefore, Gao Shun ordered the entire army to abandon the ship and land ashore, and continued to advance toward Xiangshan Mountain in the northwest at a rapid march.

It was only then that the soldiers of the three armies, who had been confused for several days, understood their general's true combat intention.

Only then did everyone realize that it turned out that Gao Shun's grandiose claims that he would attack Jiangjun Peak in the past few days were all dubious tactics, and the real purpose was to surprise Xiangshan Mountain.

The cloud of suspicion was cleared, and the 30,000 soldiers trapped in the camp immediately became more motivated to fight.

Previous failures always caused the Chu army to have a kind of hatred towards the Korean army. Now, it was finally their turn to launch a counterattack on the Korean army's territory. How could the flames of revenge not burn wildly in the hearts of the soldiers.

Under the excitement of blood, all the thirty thousand generals were in high spirits, and they followed their general Gao Shun and ran all the way towards Xiangshan.

The reason why he was so desperate this time was because as the king of Chu who focused on cavalry combat, he always put cavalry as the most important. Infantry had a relatively low position, and as the most elite trapping camp, of course he felt unhappy.

In addition to the main road, there are several small roads leading from the Yalu River to Xiangshan.

In order to make a surprise attack on the Korean army, Gao Shun, in addition to the previous trick of confusing the enemy, approached Xiangshan at this time, and also deliberately chose a small road to avoid being detected by the Korean army's scouts on the main road.

The path was much more rugged and difficult to navigate than the main road. Although the soldiers only carried three days of food and grass and traveled lightly, in order to attack the city, Gao Shun had to carry a large number of siege equipment such as ladders. These heavy equipment required the soldiers to

Come and carry it.

Even so, the 30,000 athletes were all high-spirited, sweating profusely, and panting from exhaustion, but no one complained.

After a long march on the mountain road, Gao Shun and his army finally saw Xiangshan City in the evening.

On the hillside of Prancing Horse, Gao Shun, who was covered in sweat, raised his eyes and looked into the distance. He saw that a few miles away, the majestic pass was bathed in the golden sunset.

On the road in front of Guancheng, caravans in twos and threes were still rushing to Xiangshan, trying to cross the border before Yaohei retreat.

Although North Korea is currently in a state of semi-war with Gaoshun, they both turn a blind eye to civilian business transactions within each other's jurisdiction and adopt a policy of acquiescence.

Seeing the caravans coming and going as usual on the avenue, this meant that the defenders in Xiangshan City were not aware of the incoming army and had taken precautions in advance. Gao Shun could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The troublesome strategy of attacking from east to west and the hard work of marching over mountains and ridges, now it seems, have finally been in vain.

Behind them, the soldiers who were climbing up the hillside one after another saw the lax defense of Xiangshan City. Their sweat-soaked faces were filled with excitement and murderous intent.

"Where is Gan Ning?" Gao Shun shouted sharply.

"The end is here." Gan Ning responded with emotion as he rode forward.

Gao Shun pointed his long sword and said loudly: "I order you to lead seven thousand vanguards and take Xiangshan directly. You must not retreat even half a step until you break through the city!"

Gan Ning cupped his fists and said boldly: "General, don't worry, if we don't break Xiangshan, we will come to see you at the end of the day."

After saying this with emotion, Gan Ning turned his horse around and shouted to the soldiers behind him: Brothers, Xiangshan is just ahead. Those of you who are men, follow my generals to conquer this pass for your Majesty - "

Amidst the loud shouts, Gan Ning turned his horse, grabbed his two halberds, and rushed down the hillside.

Thousands of soldiers trapped in the camp, as well as North Korean infantry and navy soldiers from Zhongzhou, surged down like beasts emerging from their cages, waving weapons and carrying ladders.

Gao Shun looked far away at Xiangshan Mountain, and then at the soldiers who were charging down all over the mountains and plains. On his sweat-stained face, a look of pride burned wildly.

...Xiangshan City.

In the lobby of the military mansion, there was singing and dancing.

General Jin Long, the Protector General, was playing with the jade cup in his hand, sipping fine wine and enjoying the singing and dancing of the dancers in front of the hall.

All the generals present on the left and right were drinking and having fun, living a leisurely and happy life.

But only the young general Jin Xiaosheng had a gloomy face, full of anxiety.

"General, this Xiangshan Mountain is the southern gate that guards Guanzhong and resists the Chu army. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for the general to have wine and dance here."

Jin Xiaosheng couldn't help but dissuade him.

Jin Long showed a bit of displeasure, and said with a flat mouth: "The King of Korea sent General Jin to follow me to kill the enemy on the battlefield. I thought that the young general had a hard journey, so he set up a small banquet with singing and dancing to express his condolences. This is what the young general said.

It’s a bit chilling.”

Jin Xiaosheng coughed a few times, cupped his hands and said, "This trip is for official business, so why dare you say it's hard work? I just thought that I heard that Gao Shun had sent troops from Liaoyang recently, but the general seemed not to be vigilant here, so he

Only then did the general feel a little worried."

"The Little Jin Army is overly worried. My general's detailed work has revealed that Gao Shun led his army to attack Jiangjun Peak and had no intention of threatening Xiangshan. What's more, their general and the ever-victorious general Chen Dao failed.

, not to mention the unpopular Gao Shun.”

Jin Long said disapprovingly.

Jin Xiaosheng's eyebrows softened a little, but he said: "Even so, Gao Shun's tactics are very unpredictable, so please be careful, general."

Jin Long laughed and raised his glass: "Young general, you are too careful. Don't think so much. Have a few drinks with me."

The golden dragon raised the jade cup, waiting for the drinker's throat.

At this moment, a pro-soldier rushed into the hall with a hurried look and shouted: "General Qi, something bad has happened. The Chu army suddenly attacked the key!"

Bang~~ The jade cup in Jin Long's hand fell from his hand and instantly shattered into pieces.
