Just as the Wu generals were hurriedly making plans, the Han army was unwilling to stand in a confrontation here and soon launched an attack from the right wing.
The reason why the Han army sent out the right army first was that Guo Huai led the elite Beifu soldiers on the right, and Wang Ling in the middle led the Dongfu soldiers, who may be slightly inferior to Wang Ling in terms of combat power; secondly, he wanted Lu Meng to be in charge of the central army.
The troops under his banner must all be elites, and Zhu Ran has not yet had any classic battles in the Wu army, and he is also a young man, so it is better to focus on this. After quickly defeating the left wing of the Wu army, he can then use the right wing as a hammer to rotate inward and open the left wing.
Use it as an anvil to crush the Wu army.
The right army of the Han army is dominated by infantry. The soldiers in the center and in the front are wearing thick armor, wearing iron pockets to block arrows, holding long spears and carrying knives on their backs for charging forward; the soldiers on the sides and behind are wearing leather
Armor, wearing leather boots and holding a bow and arrow, used arrows to block the Wu army from charging down the mountain. Guo Huai left Wen Hui in the formation to wave a yellow flag to supervise the battle. The other generals around him, such as Linghu Hua, Wang Ji and others, led their troops to charge forward. About 10,000 Han troops poured out together, swarming towards the hillock occupied by the Wu people like a swarm of ants. The army attacked, but no one made any noise. They could only hear the sound of leather boots stepping on the ground, and the clash of armor and weapons one after another.
Sound. Based on this, it can be determined that the attacking Han army is by no means a mob, but an elite division that is well-trained in peacetime.
When the Wu army stood on the hill, they saw the Han army rolling up quickly like a huge wave breaking a dike. On the one hand, the sound of gold and iron could not be heard, and the mountain top below began to tremble slightly. The Wu sergeant looked solemn and held his weapon.
Move. If these people were not the elites carefully selected by Lu Meng, they would have never fought against the Han army before. Seeing this situation, they would have been afraid of the formation, let alone an attack.
The Han army took the initiative to go up the mountain and counterattack, which was slightly beyond Lu Meng's expectation. Seeing that the morale of the Han army was strong and they were densely packed with heavy armor, the Wu army had no room for maneuver and was inconvenient to fight. So Lü Meng ordered the flag to be raised and the formation to retreat.
The risk of retreating is extremely high. If there is no coordination, it may cause chaos or even collapse. At this time, the Wu army's retreat showed Lu Meng's old tricks - Wu army first sent out a thousand crossbowmen to meet the enemy, and took advantage of this opportunity.
At this moment, the army quickly turned around and slowly moved back.
Between the mountain roads, the crossbowmen quickly dispersed to occupy a more favorable terrain, and then there was a sudden rain of arrows. The Han army did not expect that the Wu army would dare to respond like this. The general immediately ordered the soldiers to march with their shields raised, and at the same time formed a dense formation.
There was no room for the Wu people's scattering to be used. But as a result, the Han army's speed suddenly slowed down. This slowdown gradually spread backward, and the huge wave of the Han army's attack seemed to have encountered a dam, and the crowds piled up surgingly.
Together, the soldiers' armors and weapons collided with each other, making a continuous sound.
However, the Wu army had no intention of facing the Han army head-on, nor did they have the strength. The crossbowmen at the front only had time to shoot three rows of arrows before they were forced back by the counterattack arrows in the Han army's formation. The front line of the Han army pursued them.
The Wu crossbowmen who were hit by arrows were quickly overwhelmed. As the front group moved forward, the originally dense formation of the Han army was pulled forward and became slightly sparse in the middle. The groups behind that were not engaged in the battle followed suit and moved forward.
, trying to make up for this gap. However, the Wu crossbowmen did not escape immediately. They quickly stopped and continued to harass the Han army with their powerful crossbows. In this way, fighting and walking, the Wu people stretched the Han army to the right side.
The front column of the Han army has climbed to the top of the hill and is bending to the right, while the rear column is still at the foot of the hill.
The Han army only followed the crossbowmen who drove away the Wu people, and did not notice the whereabouts of the Wu people's rear team who had withdrawn from the battle in advance. To the east of the top of the slope was a gentle downward slope, with a continuous wild persimmon forest extending to the foot of the slope.
, and the elite of the Wu people were waiting for the opportunity in the persimmon forest. When the Han army's military formation was like stretched dough, it was not only sparse, but also large and small holes were in danger of causing the front and rear to break. About
Thousands of Wu infantry rushed out of the persimmon forest and attacked the Han army's formation from east to west. Due to the fog, the Han army's vision was extremely poor and they did not expect to encounter a side attack. This made
The Wu people's Euphorbia soldiers formed a column, like a sharp bayonet, cutting into the soft neck of the Han army's formation, and continued to extend westward, threatening to cut and surround the Han army's front line.
Almost at the same time, the crossbowmen who had been repeatedly entangled with the Han army completely gave up resistance at this time, ran to both sides and dispersed, and soon exited the battle formation without a trace. The Han army's front suddenly changed to
The Wu army's armored warriors formed a dense formation in several horizontal rows. The Wu army soldiers had put on their heavy armor and used iron bags to protect their heads. At this time, they were full of energy and morale, and heard a roar from the Wu formation that shook the mountains.
The heavily armored Wu army rushed towards the current Han army.
Sima Niujin of the Han army stayed beside Guo Huai, the right army, to supervise the formation. From their position, they could not see that the Wu people in front had launched a counterattack, but they had already received the news that the Wu army's Euphorbia soldiers suddenly appeared on the flank and were crossing the Han formation. Niu Jin
Jin hurriedly urged Guo Huai: "The former army put on heavy armor and went up the mountain, and their energy was bound to be exhausted. Now they are intercepted by Wu thieves from behind. If they are attacked by the Wu army in front again, the descent of the mountain will be like a broken bamboo. Please send out the cavalry to go up the mountain quickly.
Drive away the Wu army!"
Guo Huai was also panicked. Because he was crossing the river to build a camp, most of his cavalry were resting on the west bank. Now there are only about 3,000 available knights. Is this really impossible? But he also
There was no time to think about it. He hurriedly ordered Niu Jin to go out and handed him the remaining reserve cavalry. Since the front of the gentle slope was crowded with infantry from the Han army's right army, Niu Jin's cavalry had to detour to the left and along the
The two armies were fighting on the central line of the mountain, trying to finally cut across the Wu army's euphorbia soldiers and defeat them.
The center of the Han army was commanded by Wang Ling. The elite Han soldiers were on the left and right wings, especially on Guo Huai's right wing. There were many soldiers in the middle, but the armor was average, so he had no intention of attacking. Guo Huai saw Niu Jin's cavalry coming around.
As they fought on the middle road up the mountain, he couldn't help but worry. He said to his left and right: "The victory is not decided on the right. If the Wu people are involved in the battle on the middle road and come down the mountain to fight, how will we respond?"

Wang Ling's worries soon became a reality. Soon Wang Ping, the general of the Han army, sent a young knight to report: "The Wu army's central army has sent troops to fight, and our cavalry may not be able to go up the mountain!" Wang Pingyuan was Liu.
The general who stayed in Xie's tent was also transferred to Wang Ling's tent. Wang Ling saw that he was a soldier and had rich combat experience, so he ordered him to observe the enemy's situation from a high place.
When Wang Ling heard the visitor's report, he felt unhappy and said to the visitor: "Observe the enemy's situation and tell the truth. It's not up to you to decide whether you can't climb the mountain! You are a young man, what do you know!" Seeing the visitor, he laughed.
Silently, although he was only about ten years old, he showed no fear when facing Wang Ling. For some reason, Wang Ling's anger also subsided a lot. He asked the young man: "What is your name and how old are you this year?"
The young man cupped his hands and replied: "I am Chen Qian in Guangling, whose courtesy name is Ji Bi. He is nineteen years old this year."
"Oh, Chen Qian." Looking at this young man's appearance, Wang Ling couldn't help but think of when he was young, and felt that he had the temperament of an old superior. He was quite emotional for a moment, but he didn't say anything. He only said to Chen Qian
Said: "Go back to General Wang."
Chen Qian quickly leaned over to say goodbye to Wang Ling and rode his horse back to the main formation. He drew his horse close to Wang Ping, grabbed his horse's bridle, and whispered in a low voice: "General, the defeat of the right wing has been determined, and there is no one to rush down from the center.
, we are bound to be irresistible. The current strategy is to make preparations first and go straight to the pontoon when retreating, so that the army can avoid a disastrous defeat."
Wang Ping glanced at Chen Qian in great surprise, and then said: "Did General Wang say something to you?" Chen Qian shook his head. Wang Ping thought for a moment, nodded and said: "You are right, then I have nothing else.
There’s a way.”
Observing the battle situation ahead, we saw that more than 3,000 Wu soldiers rushed out to block Niu Jin's path. Niu Jin was not willing to be outdone, and the two sides started fighting on the slope. It seemed that the winner could not be determined immediately, but who knew?
At this moment, an elephant cry suddenly sounded in mid-air. This made Wang Ping immediately pale. He turned around and saw two huge figures like hills. Wu Jun actually transported two elephants to Bagong Mountain.
Got it!
Except for the Xifu Army, the rest of the Han Army had never seen an elephant. At this time, they suddenly saw two monsters appearing on the mountain. They suddenly stepped towards the Han cavalry in the fog. They were immediately frightened, especially the war horses. Seeing such a huge beast
Later, they also began to scream and commotion, disrupting the rhythm of the Han army's fighting. Wu Jun seized this opportunity and immediately rushed forward to fight with the Han cavalry. The formation immediately broke into several sections, although Niu Jin still tried his best to lead the knights to fight bravely.
, but under the premise that the formation has been defeated, there is no suspense about the ending.
Just when Niu Jin's cavalry reinforcements were dispersed by the Wu army's euphorbias, the Han army stranded on the top of the slope could not withstand the Wu army's fierce counterattack. Suddenly, there was a sound like a landslide, and they all turned around and fled. Along the way, they took advantage of the Han troops behind them.
The army formed a more powerful torrent and rushed down all the way. The generals of the Han army could not restrain their troops, but they were driven by the torrent and turned around and fled together. The torrent grew bigger and bigger, and rushed past Guo Huai, the commander-in-chief of the right army.
At this time, the right arm of the Han army was in disintegration. Commander Guo Huai, deputy generals Wen Hui, Wang Ji and other troops were all trying to escape.
Wang Ling of the middle army was close to the mouth of the valley and took the opportunity to retreat. The troops of the right army fought for the road and fled. They were blocked at the mouth of the valley and there was no smooth passage. Everyone ran to the hillsides on both sides and ran towards the valley on the side of the mouth of the valley. In order to
Fighting for a road to escape, those Han soldiers who were in danger and were forced to go to roadless cliffs, or down to the cliffs of valleys, fell off the cliff one after another without fighting. Fortunately, Bagong Mountain is not high enough, so even if they fall down, they will break
There are countless people with different legs and feet, but after all, only a few people fall to death. But in this way, the defeat of Bagong Mountain is irreversible.
But this does not mean that the entire war is over. After all, the Wu people are not suppressed by the entire army, and the Han army can't afford to lose a battle. In this case, the Wu army must try to expand the results in order to be able to defeat the Han army.
