The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 74 Defeat Gouchun
Ge Xin and his soldiers pounced on their prey like thirsty tigers. The soldiers stationed at the entrance of the camp had no idea that such a group of murderous gods would suddenly appear at such a close distance, as if they wanted to select and devour everyone.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the camp gate was out of control, and the entire camp was inevitably in panic.

Ge Xin seized the camp gate and immediately kicked down the surrounding fires that were not extinguished. These fires burned the camp made of wood, and the flames jumped and climbed on the wooden walls.

Seeing the scene in front of them, the camp leaders around them were dumbfounded and said, "General, didn't you say we were guarding the gate of the camp?"

“Instead of giving the opponent time to organize defense, it is better to try to penetrate the opponent.

General Liu said that the most important thing in marching and fighting is to keep the initiative in our hands.

How can you be restrained by the gate of this camp? If you can set it on fire, just burn it! "

Ge Xin said confidently, "Burn the gates of this large camp, and then rush with me!"

When the soldiers heard Ge Xin's words, they didn't dare to say anything more and kicked the surrounding braziers down against the wooden wall in the same manner.

Some even directly threw their camouflage robes onto the fire to make the flames burn more intensely.

Ge Xin burned down the camp gate and started causing chaos in the camp without looking back.

Ge Xin knew very well that even if the army at the foot of the mountain heard the sound of the charge of himself and others, it would take time to join him.

The greater the chaos that he and others create in this camp, the greater the tactical effect will be caused when Zhou Ping leads his army.

Since his role in this war was to be a surprise soldier at the beginning, but when the surprise attack began, his position also changed with his active attack, and he became a decoy.

Gou Chun, who was having breakfast, did not expect that at this time, the Han army had already come to kill him.

With the loss of the front camp, Gou Chun didn't even bother to eat. He led his soldiers out of the camp and shouted angrily:
"Why panic? Maybe you think my military skills are not strong? Come with me and kill the attacking Puppet Han soldiers together!"

When the soldiers saw Gou Chun, their faces turned pale involuntarily. The Gou brothers paid the most attention to military law in the army. If there was any violation, they would be served with military sticks at the least, and beheaded directly at the worst.

Relying on this strict military discipline that was almost engraved in the bones of the soldiers, almost all the soldiers who had been captured by the sudden attack calmed down.

After all, for these soldiers, sometimes the punishment they have to face is more terrifying than the life and death they face!

Therefore, even though it was raided, with Gou Chun's Poseidon Needle present, the entire camp was able to restore order almost visibly to the naked eye.

While Gou Chun scolded the soldiers, he started to block Ge Xin with his own soldiers as the core.

It cannot be said that Ge Xin's decision to burn down the camp behind him and concentrate on disrupting the entire camp was wrong.

If you encounter a general like Wang Kuang who is not good at leading troops, I am afraid that Ge Xin can come in and out seven times and be famous for his bravery.

But the problem is that Ge Xin met Gou Chun, who is known for his strict military discipline. It would be easy to say that he was afraid of running away, but he did not run away at this moment. On the contrary, he was prepared to fight Ge Xin for his life. After years of dedication to strict military discipline , got the biggest reward at this time.

Even though the soldiers under Gou Chun's command were in a mess, they still instinctively obeyed Gou Chun's military orders.

Therefore, at this moment, Ge Xin was fighting left and right, trying to disrupt the entire camp, but in fact the effect was quite limited.

Especially as Gou Chun comforted more and more soldiers, Gou Chun also discovered that there were not many pseudo-Han soldiers killed this time.

Then they looked at how they had cut off their escape route and burned down the gate of the camp that they had rushed in from, almost creating a desperate situation with no way out.

At this moment, Gou Chun immediately ordered the guards, saying: "Go and notify each camp, and everyone will form a formation in the tent. Then break open the tent and slowly gather towards the entrance of the tent. If you encounter an enemy surprise attack, maintain the military formation." , don’t fight with it!”

Gou Chun's order was to have his soldiers stand in formation. As long as the rushing Ge Xin was not allowed to cause chaos, the opponent's numerical disadvantage would naturally be further amplified. Then Gou Chun was confident that Ge Xin would die in here.

It has to be said that in the face of Gou Chun's combat method of stopping quietly but pressing forward step by step, Ge Xin found that the scope of his activities was getting smaller and smaller. At first, he could attack everywhere and create chaos, but he was soon forced to attack. Go to the burning camp gate.

Even if Ge Xin burned the camp gate so that he could free his hands to charge wantonly in the Gouchun military camp, as the attack range was gradually restricted, Ge Xin looked back at the burning camp gate behind him and felt like he was in a cocoon. Feel.

"A mere few hundred people actually dare to come to my camp to cause trouble. I'll give you three breaths to think. If you put down your weapons and capture them all, I can give you a way out!" Gou Chun said.

Although order has been restored in his military camp, the Han army at the foot of the mountain will rush up at any time. It would be great if Ge Xin could be eliminated as quickly as possible!

"How dare Jin Gou'an roar!" Ge Xin said freely and casually, "We and the tiger and fierce army will definitely use one to block five and blow the suona!"

Ge Xin's envoy did not hesitate at all, and blew a suona sound from his mouth. All the soldiers knew that this meant a decisive charge.

Following the sound, there was a loud bang, and the burning camp wall behind Ge Xin collapsed completely.

A row of troops dressed in Han army uniforms appeared in front of everyone. At this moment, they were carrying trees on their shoulders that had not even had time to trim the branches. They directly knocked down the walls of the camp that had become fragile due to burning!

"Ge Datou! You're still alive, I'm here to save you!" Zhou Ping's voice sounded among the group of Han soldiers.

"Bah! I'm going to save you!" Ge Xin looked at the scene in front of him, but he felt a sense of joy at surviving a desperate situation, but he still cursed and said, "I'll kill them with your grandpa!"

Although the fresh troops brought by Zhou Ping arrived, Gou Chun couldn't help but frown.

He really didn't expect that Zhou Ping would be climbing up the mountain so quickly.

He even thought that the camp that Ge Xin set on fire should be able to slightly prevent the arrival of the opponent's army, but he did not expect that Zhou Ping would take these seemingly freshly cut trees and use brute force to break open the camp wall. .

As long as they dare to charge at this time, they may feel a bit of burning pain, but it is almost impossible for these residual fires to stop these continuous soldiers.

However, Zhou Ping's response was more direct than Gou Chun thought, letting the warrior holding the iron shield pounce directly on the iron shield.

It was enough for the soldiers to step on the iron shield, and they stepped too much, and the fire burning underneath was extinguished.

At this moment, Zhou Ping led the vanguard army to attack directly. The uniform actions of the soldiers made Gou Chunpu feel unparalleled pressure.

But behind Ge Xin's courage and Zhou Ping's calmness, there is a man silently holding a halberd in his hand - cutting down trees!
For Liu Tai, who is born with supernatural powers, lumberjack may be his best career.When Liu Tai saw the burning tent walls, he didn't know what was going on, but it was impossible for his soldiers to rush into the fire and fight the enemy.

In Liu Tai's opinion, this was probably Gou Chun's quick-thinking method to use the sea of ​​fire to cut off the connection between himself and Ge Xin.

It's really a good idea.

But my army climbed up the mountain. At most, each person had a wet towel on his face to avoid the smoke, but it was impossible to cross the fierce burning flames.

So I directly used my natural power to cut down the wood, and asked the soldiers to send the wood to the front line as collision wood!

Seeing the raging flame barrier collapse, Liu Tai clenched his fists excitedly and said, "Defeat Gou Chun!"

Both Gou Chun and Liu Tai found that when the two armies actually fought together, the commanders of both sides no longer had any room for command.

Because of the terrain here and the current situation, what determines the competition is no longer the commander's command ability.

It's about the soldiers' basic physical fitness, their tacit organizational understanding with their comrades, and their morale and determination at this moment.

The collision between the two sides was evenly matched at least at the beginning, and there was even a bit of a stalemate.

After all, Gou Chun's army comes from Gou Xi. He maintains order in the army with strict military discipline. His undefeated golden body along the way has forged the faith of his army. This allows them to dare to face any opponent who draws his sword even if they are in a desperate situation. courage.

In addition, Gou Chun understood that he was trapped in a lonely mountain, and the only way to escape was to jump off a cliff, so why run? Only by fighting hard can he have a chance to survive. Only by killing Liu Tai can he be what he is today. Live!
But when it comes to the critical moment when the two sides engage in direct hand-to-hand combat, it is the soldiers' will and the soldiers' physique that rely on it!
Originally, it was said that the general's courage was the courage of the soldiers, but when it came to a life-and-death fight, the shortcomings of Gou Chun's soldiers began to be exposed.

Gou Chun used absolute military discipline to intimidate the soldiers. At this moment, it was difficult for him to use his own emotions to infect the soldiers.

Because you usually don’t empathize with the soldiers, but now at the critical moment, you need to infect the soldiers with your own will. This is a bit unrealistic, because the soldiers only fear you for military discipline, and Gou Chun himself is the embodiment of military discipline. change.

If the general's heart cannot be transformed into a military heart, then Gou Chun's own will to fight to the death will be useless no matter how strong he is.

At the same time, another effect of the offense at this point in time came out.

That is, at this point in time, Gou Chun's soldiers have not had breakfast at least yet.

The reason why Gou Chun was able to eat first was because he was the commander-in-chief of an army. It was natural for the Huotou Army to open a small stove for his general.

But if the sergeants want to eat, they still have to wait a little longer.

All meal times in the army are strictly regulated, and the meal time is usually determined by the sound of drums.

The soldiers ate as if they were fighting. They had to eat quickly and eat a lot. Every mouthful of rice was snatched away.

But because of Ge Xin's surprise attack, many of them had just woken up from sleep in their tents, and they lined up in formation without eating breakfast at all. If they defeated Ge Xin, it would be good to take a breather.

But Zhou Ping didn't give them this chance at all, and the war between the two sides directly entered the decisive battle.

So it would be okay if they could defeat Liu Tai's army in one go, but after falling into a protracted battle, their weakness of not having breakfast was completely exposed at this moment.

Perhaps their bodies were not necessarily as thin as Liu Tai's soldiers, but they did not eat breakfast, and the impact of this directly made them lose two levels of strength in the fight.

On the battlefield of direct combat, any weakness will be magnified countless times.

At this moment, they neither had the determination to fight to the last man, nor did they feel their arms were weak because they had not had breakfast.

So the two sides continued to fight for about half an hour, and the fear caused by the constant deaths of soldiers on both sides continued to spread.

This pushed the soldiers on both sides to the limit, especially the belief in invincibility of Gou Chun's soldiers was constantly shaken.

At this moment, Liu Tai personally rushed to the battlefield with his soldiers to beat the drums to cheer the generals. When the soldiers who were still fighting saw Liu Tai beating the drums to cheer, they squeezed out the strength from their bodies and continued to fight with Gou. The soldiers under Chun's command continued to fight.

But the soldiers under Gou Chun's command no longer have the ability to inspire their morale and potential.

At this moment, under the suppressed momentum, Gou Chun's painstaking defense line collapsed almost instantly.

He wanted to ask the military law enforcement team to stop him, but it was useless.

It is naturally correct to use military law to control the army. Even in this era, this method itself is a very clever way to organize troops.

But when these soldiers ignored military law, Gou Chun could no longer control his soldiers!
Liu Tai, on the other hand, used his thoughts to train and command his troops, and he also cared for his soldiers in his own way.

This allows Liu Tai to personally go to the battlefield, whether he beats drums to cheer or charges into battle, his soldiers can feel unparalleled spiritual encouragement.

However, Liu Tai's method is more difficult to form and requires greater investment in the early stage. But when the two really fight head-on, Liu Tai's soldiers are more aware and more resilient than Gou Chun's soldiers!
"Put down your weapons, surrender without killing, and capture Gou Chun alive!" Liu Tai immediately issued the order after watching Zhou Ping command the army to defeat Gou Chun's troops.

After all, he was facing Gou Xi, and a living Gou Chun was much more useful than a dead Gou Chun.

And for Liu Tai, this army was able to maintain a stalemate with the army commanded by Zhou Ping for such a long time despite being heavily plotted by him, and fought until the army could no longer bear the casualties before collapsing.

Such army soldiers are really elite, and for a commander of his own will type, he likes to defeat the elite most.

When the time comes, as long as he is comforted, he might be one of his own again!

As for Gou Chun, although he was guarded by his personal guards until the end, he was quickly tied up with ropes from more than a dozen horses, tied into a rice dumpling, and delivered to Liu Tai.

"Clean the battlefield, collect the prisoners, send the injured and dead soldiers to Laiwu, and then set a fire to burn the place clean to avoid the plague." Liu Tai said here, but paused, and said: "Today's victory is great , everyone go back for extra dinner tonight!”

After hearing Liu Tai's words, the morale of the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield suddenly became high.
