The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 94 Gou Xi’s defeat

Liu Tai's charge forward directly boosted the morale of his soldiers, and his headquarters followed the straight road and hit Gou Xi's army hard.

At the same time, the soldiers led by Zhao An also attacked without hesitation.

Although it was not a two-sided attack, the overall strength of Liu Tai's army still brought unimaginable pressure to Gou Xi.

Even though Gou Xi had already predicted the frontal explosion of Liu Tai's army, Gou Xi had to admit that when he actually faced Liu Tai, he had underestimated the estimated lethality of Liu Tai's army. .

Originally, Zhao An's cavalry should be more difficult to deal with. After all, the cavalry's frontal charge requires one life for another. Generally speaking, even if the army is in formation, it still needs to trade one's life to withstand the momentum of the cavalry charge.

At this point, Gou Xi decisively asked Gou Chun to lead his most elite soldiers to resist. Therefore, although Zhao An's cavalry attacked in the direction where he paid a price, he was able to withstand the opponent's impact.

As for Liu Tai's army's frontal attack, logically speaking, even if his own army cannot defeat Liu Tai's army, relying on military discipline and daily training, he should be able to at least contain the opponent's attack.

But the problem is that the one rushing to the front at this moment is Liu Tai's own war department. He rushed to the front of the legion in one breath.

Liu Tai himself became a sharp knife for the entire legion, and he did not care about his own life or death at all!
After all, even now, Liu Tai still positions himself as a general, and the general is the courage of his soldiers. Especially the kindness Liu Tai usually accumulates for his soldiers. When Liu Tai charges at the front, it is easiest to inspire the soldiers' will to fight.

The flag held by the flag-bearing cavalry flew unconsciously in front of the legion.

At this moment, not only Liu Tai's legion could see it, but even Gou Xi's legion could also see it.

To be honest, if possible, Gou Xi would really like to fire a thousand arrows at Liu Tai. It would be best to directly shoot Liu Tai into a hedgehog.

But the reality is that if the arrows are fired regardless of the cost, it is still a puzzling question whether Liu Tai will be seriously injured before all the soldiers under Gou Xi's command die.

When it comes to fighting on the battlefield, the difference between melee weapons and bows and arrows is not that big. As long as they hit a vital point, they will die.

But armor has become a key factor in widening the gap between the two. After all, bows and arrows basically cannot penetrate armor.

The overall armor of Liu Tai's army is better than that of Gou Xi's army. This is Liu Tai's advantage.

Not to mention the war department directly under Liu Tai, their armor is the most superior among Liu Tai's troops.

Liu Tai led such a group of fierce men to kill Gou Xi, and Gou Xi's front army could not resist it at all.

As for the elite veterans wearing armor, they all took a few steps back with a tacit understanding and let the rookies around them go forward first.

Liu Tai put these veterans back into Gou Xi's army in order to reduce their will to resist when fighting him.

So after seeing some soldiers getting out of the way when they saw him, Liu Tai rushed even crazier!
And all this fell into Gou Xi's eyes, that is, Liu Tai had extremely amazing insights on the battlefield.

Wherever he sprinted, Liu Tai tore the battle lines apart.

Maybe some soldiers wanted to rush forward to stop them, but these soldiers just rushed forward and were cut off by Liu Tai's halberd.

Liu Tai, who was bathed in blood, was like a ghost at this moment, and no one dared to stop Liu Tai easily.

Liu Tai himself understands the battle situation and is better able to seize opportunities.

Following Liu Tai's fierce charge, Gou Xi's defense was torn apart as easily as paper by Liu Tai.

Liu Tai headed directly towards Gou Xi's direction like a broken bamboo. As for the military situation, it was to seize the core of the command and penetrate it. There was no need to think about anything else!
Gou Xi was panicking at this moment, because he had never encountered a commander like Liu Tai during the Eight Kings Rebellion.

This kind of commander can condense his soldiers and himself into a whole, and when he really needs to give it a try, he can even create miracles.

He often sent soldiers to stop Liu Tai, but the effect was very little.

Because his generals tried to stop him, they couldn't even get past Liu Tai's move, and were killed with both weapons and weapons.

And Liu Tai can always accurately find one command node after another in this army, and directly destroy these command nodes in an absolutely violent way, so that his orders cannot be conveyed to the front line at all, so that he can only make preparations. Judge and command.

But Liu Tai himself was at the forefront of the battlefield. Liu Tai watched the changes on the battlefield front line, felt the changes in orders, and almost instantly felt the battlefield nodes on the front line battlefield that received Gou Xi's orders and conducted frontline command.

The changes in these nodes are so clear to Liu Tai. After all, Gou Xi is still playing simple and clear linear command.

But Liu Tai's army has actually begun to play the dual command of the commander and military history.

It's just that military history decides whether to fight or not, but the commander of the camp decides how to fight tactically.

Therefore, the frontline commander who was responsible for conveying Gou Xi's orders was spotted by Liu Tai in an instant.

And Liu Tai followed these pre-war commands. After all, after severely damaging the command system, if the soldiers under Gou Xi's command had not been well trained in round formations and other military formations that are dedicated to survival on the battlefield, then under the coercion of a large number of soldiers, With their organization shattered, they can only drift in the wind on the battlefield.

Therefore, Liu Tai's army rushed all the way to Gou Xi. Gou Xi continued to make arrangements, increase troops, garrison, and issued orders one after another. However, in such a chaotic situation, Liu Tai, who was on the front line, had a clearer understanding of the situation on the front line. , respond to the front line more quickly, and even make more decisive decisions.

But the most important thing is that in the face of Liu Tai's overwhelming charge, Gou Xi's veterans did not resist with the consciousness of death!

Not many, as long as there are ten veterans who are not afraid of life and death, even if Liu Tai is safe and sound, the horse under Liu Tai's crotch will definitely not be saved.

If there were fifty veterans who were not afraid of life and death, and without Liu Tai's personal guards to protect him, Liu Tai would not dare to charge at all.

If there were a hundred veterans who were not afraid of life and death, Liu Tai's crazy charging momentum would have been curbed long ago.

Maybe occasionally a sporadic soldier who was not afraid of life and death would stand up, and then Liu Tai would directly use it to spread his power.

However, the more soldiers under Gou Xi's command simply could not organize a sufficient number of veterans to counterattack Liu Tai.

This is natural, because most of the prisoners under Gou Chun's command were released by Liu Tai, which ultimately affected Gou Xi's army.

Their families were not in Liu Tai's hands, and Liu Tai did not dare to use them easily. Liu Tai chose to treat the prisoners preferentially and put them back.

Normally, if anyone mentions being captured after being released, it would be too late to cover it up.But the problem is that Gou Xi relies on strict military discipline to manage the army. Gou Chun learns from his brother even more. So when these prisoners come back and endure Gou Xi's strict military discipline again, they will naturally continue to beautify the time they served in Liu A scene of prisoners in Tai's army.

Especially when they knew the treatment of Liu Tai's army when they were prisoners, they felt even more unhappy. They felt that they had only one thing to eat as soldiers, while other soldiers had land, women, and ideals. This made them envious!
Therefore, it slowly spread among private people.

However, with the expansion of Gou Xi, even if they were captured, they were still veterans, more or less becoming commanders or corps commanders. If they were lucky, they even became village commanders. Naturally, they gradually faded away. After all, development overshadowed them. All questions.

But this year they have been fighting, and they have been following Liu Tai for a while, and their war weariness has risen. In addition, Linzi has been captured and there is no hope of food and grass. They at the bottom suddenly find that being captured by Liu Tai may be the best choice.

This kind of news is mainly spread at the bottom. If it were a general like Li Guang who used friendship to win over his soldiers, the soldiers' conversations could easily reach the top.

But Gou Xi relies on strict military discipline to manage the army, so the soldiers will naturally not reach Gou Xi in a short time. If Gou Xi governs an army and disturbs the morale of the army, he will really beheaded.

Now this hidden worry has really erupted. Are there any veterans in Gou Xi's army who are not afraid of life and death?have!

Is there anyone willing to die for Gou Xi's order?Yes!
But if this opponent were Liu Tai, then these elite veterans would be a little hesitant.

Because Liu Tai did not abuse prisoners, his life was not in danger even if he was defeated.

You can still eat, even better than under Gou Xi's command, so why are you working so hard with Liu Tai? !

On the battlefield, they wavered for a moment and lost the courage to continue fighting.

And Liu Tai didn't care about them and led his own troops to kill them directly in the direction of Gou Xi.

When Gou Xi's soldiers saw Liu Tai rushing towards him, they took the initiative to get out of the way. They didn't want to fight, let alone stop him. They just wanted to paddle.

But their attitudes caught Gou Xi's gaze, and what he saw was Liu Tai's headquarters charging so fast that even he felt frightened.

The army he was so proud of was torn apart by Liu Tai almost instantly. The soldiers he sent to stop him couldn't intercept Liu Tai's charge at all!
"Is this a military situation like that of the overlord of Chu?" Gou Xi watched Liu Tai rushing forward bravely, with a bit of sadness in her heart, "Could it be that this place is a giant deer, and I am Zhang Shaorong!?"

Gou Xi watched Liu Tai's overwhelming attack and rushed towards his main camp. The morale of the army reached an incredible level.

Gou Xi really wanted to say escape. As Liu Tai rushed towards her, Gou Xi felt that she could no longer resist Liu Tai's charge.

But the glory of being undefeated made Gou Xi really unable to say this word.

At this time, Gou Xi gritted her teeth and said, "Everyone, come with me to fight!"

After all, Gou Xi did not choose to escape as in history. After all, the divine wind came at that time, and Gou Xi's defeat was completely a natural defeat.

Man cannot fight against the sky. Unwilling to do so, Gou Xi retreated again and again, wanting to regroup and fight Cao Yi again, but Cao Yi did not give Gou Xi this chance.

Because Cao Yi also knew that if there was no such divine wind again, he would really not be able to defeat Gou Xi.

But this time it was the battlefield chosen by Gou Xi, and it was the opponent chosen by Gou Xi. Regardless of the obscure methods Liu Tai used to treat prisoners preferentially, at least Liu Tai defeated Gou Xi in an upright manner using the military situation, leaving Gou Xi with no excuse at all. .

Under such circumstances, Gou Xi chose to bear his own glory and fight Liu Tai.

However, because of the way he leads his troops, it is really difficult for other soldiers to sympathize with his glory except his own.

Liu Tai saw Gou Xi counterattacking with his war department. Although he was not afraid, he did not relax his vigilance at all.

Because Liu Tai knew very well that the soldiers directly under Gou Xi had never been captured by him. They enjoyed the best treatment from the entire Gou Xi army and were completely dependent on Gou Xi for their existence. This made them absolutely determined to die.

But Liu Tai was fearless. Liu Tai, who had already rushed here, had raised the morale of the entire army to its highest peak. All he needed was to defeat them head-on.

The soldiers of both sides collided head-on at this moment, and the casualties in that moment may have directly approached the number of casualties in the entire war so far.

The soldiers of Liu Tai's headquarters kept falling, and the soldiers of Gou Xi's command also kept falling!

At this moment, the will of both sides rose to the extreme amidst the killing cries. Especially when seeing Liu Tai's charging momentum being stifled, Gou Xi couldn't help but reveal a bit of joy as if he had grasped the throat of fate.

But until a soldier wearing armor flew directly in front of him, his body directly collided with the flag bearer holding the military flag, causing the flag bearer to lose his balance and fall down, and both of them vomited blood!

"How did he fly here!" Gou Xi looked at Liu Taizheng with a ferocious smile facing her with a bit of confusion.

Liu Tai slightly smelled the battlefield filled with the smell of blood, feeling unprecedentedly excited, and shouted, "Fight with me!"

"Kill" the soldiers roared in unison, followed closely by Liu Tai and killed Gou Xi step by step!

If Liu Tai is like a sensitive sharp knife when breaking the formation, Liu Tai can always stab at the most critical parts.

Now Liu Tai is like a heavy hammer, and all the soldiers who intercept Liu Tai are pierced by Liu Tai's front!
As long as Liu Tai opens up the situation, the headquarters behind Liu Tai will immediately attack to protect Liu Tai's flanks.

Liu Tai's eyes were fixed on Gou Xi at this moment. Gou Xi understood that unless he had strong generals who could match him, he would not be able to stop Liu Tai at all. All frontal resistance would be just a useless struggle.

Liu Tai led his troops and pushed forward like a demon king. There were fewer and fewer soldiers blocking Gou Xi.

Until the blood splashed at Gou Xi's feet, Gou Xi could only draw out his spear again and take the initiative to attack Liu Tai!
However, Gou Xi could only make two moves under Liu Tai's huge strength. One move cut off the gun and the other fell the horse. Then the soldiers around Liu Tai swarmed up and put all kinds of weapons on his neck and captured him. .

"Gou Xi has been defeated. Surrender without killing him!" Liu Tai decisively made the strongest voice on the battlefield.

In an instant, Gou Xi's soldiers on the battlefield threw away their weapons and announced the end of the war with a crackle.

Xu Gong didn't hesitate at all, and chose to flee to the southeast with his troops. The cavalry under Shao Xu's command was demoralized, and he was tied up by Wu Huada, ordered by Zhou Ping.

Gou Chun first wanted to rush over to rescue Gou Xi, but found that he was unable to catch him and wanted to escape again, but Zhao An tightly entangled him and was subsequently captured by the converging army.

The war came to an end soon!
