Chapter 647 The Battle of Luocheng

Luocheng is built among the mountains in Shu. The surrounding terrain is relatively complex because of the rising mountains. It is a huge barrier in Mianzhu in Yizhou to guard against enemy troops in the east and north.

From a defensive perspective, there are many gateways in Shuzhong, Hanzhong, Micangshan, Guangyuan, Jianmen, Mianyang, etc., but Luocheng is undoubtedly the last level with Chengdu and Mianzhu as the base. It can be said that it is the ninth life of Yizhou. If the ninth life is gone, it will not be far from the fall of Yizhou.

Liu Qi camped in a relatively wide area twenty miles east of Luocheng, but it was only relatively wide. After all, there were too many mountains near Luocheng, so it was too difficult to camp on a large scale.

Liu Qi's best camping place is to set up camp under the mountain in the east of Luocheng, surrounded by mountains and rivers.

"There are almost no large-scale plains, and there are mountains everywhere. The cavalry does not seem to be suitable for large-scale attacks here."

Liu Qi looked at the terrain not far away and muttered.

Liu Ye on the side said: "For many years, if we talk about military affairs in Shu, the horse army and bows and crossbows could not be arranged before the states and counties. Only the soldiers fighting in the mountains were the most brave and fierce, and it was definitely not easy to be aware of."

"Although that's the case, among our army's soldiers, there are many Jingman-born people who are good at mountain warfare. If the two fight each other, they may not lose to him." Liu Qi's lips raised a smile: "When we will fight tomorrow, let's see how much combat power the Yizhou soldiers have."

On the second day, Liu Xi sent Yang Huai, Gao Pei, Deng Xian and Ling Bao to lead troops out of the city. He set up a formation on the east side of Luocheng. Before he could speak to Liu Qi, the Jingzhou army, which had already been prepared, divided into various groups and rushed towards the Yizhou army.

Since the road where the formation battles were not wide and there were mountains on both sides, the pace of the battle was different from that of other princes.

Liu Qi divided the troops into two armies. On the main road, he was facing the Yizhou army head-on, and he occupied the commanding heights with the opponent on Shanli. The one who fought a tough battle was the first army. As for the strong crossbow army, although Liu Qi's trump card, in this kind of battle, once the two armies were entangled, the crossbow soldiers were not very effective, and a soldier who was not good would easily hurt his own side by mistake. Therefore, he was prepared in the rear and was ready to fight and was ready to respond at any time.

The soldiers who occupied the high ground on both sides of the official road were all elite infantrymen, and the generals who led them were undoubtedly Dian Wei, Gan Ning, Xu Dan and Xu Yi, the four infantry warriors.

As for the battlefield in the middle of the official road, there were several command-oriented generals such as Taishi Ci, Zhang Ren, and Yan Yan.

Although the mountains on both sides of the avenue are not steep, they also have a certain slope. Since there is a slope, walking up and down will inevitably waste a lot of energy. Therefore, generals like Dian Wei cannot wear heavy armor on their bodies.

He went into battle lightly, danced with big halberds, led the way, and fought against the soldiers of the Yizhou Army on the hillside.

Even without armor protection, Dian Wei is still strong.

"One! Two! Three!"

Dian Wei waved his long halberd and slashed the soldiers who blocked him, while shouting loudly.

The purpose of his doing this is not to show his achievements, but to be able to cheer up the soldiers around him, enhance their morale, and enhance their fighting spirit.

The Jingzhou infantry followed closely behind Dian Wei, and pushed forward step by step on Shanli.

Their team is like bulldozers, and they are invincible wherever they go.

"Hahaha! Yizhou people are so unhelpful, and they dare to take the initiative to give up a letter of war to compete with us? It's simply a self-destruction!" Dian Wei swept a Yizhou military soldier and turned his head happily to Xu Dan and Xu Yi beside him: "Two brothers, today is the time for us to establish great achievements! Go back to capture Yizhou and let the Junhou also give us the military position of General of the Central Army..."

At this moment, a strong wind approached the back of Dian Wei's head.

"Be careful, Mr. Dian!" With a loud shout, Xu Dan hurried forward and blocked a long sword in front of him with his shield.

"Dang!"

The long sword hit Xu Dan's shield, making a sound of a heart-pounding crisp iron instruments intersecting.

Dian Wei hurriedly turned around and found that the person who wanted to take his life in an instant was a tall and tall person, fierce face, slightly hunched figure, dark and chaotic hair.

Although the man looked nothing special in appearance, Dian Wei suddenly realized that this man was not an ordinary Han person, but from the Yi tribe.

There were many Jing barbarian soldiers in the Jingwu stroke under Dian Wei. They were like the people in front of them. Although they were not much different from ordinary Han people in appearance, their sharp aura and fierce eyes suddenly separated them from ordinary Han people.

Dian Wei roared angrily, kicked him out suddenly, kicking the Yizhou army that sneaked into the stomach, and kicked him directly.

Immediately afterwards, Dian Wei's phlegm suddenly swung out - the sharp branch slashed on the neck of the Yizhou soldier, and blood gushed like slurry, which instantly solved the life of the Yizhou soldier.

Although the Yizhou army that followed was still wearing the same clothes, both combat power and momentum were incomparable to the present.

Even a reckless man like Dian Wei, Xu Dan and Xu Yi felt quite difficult to face these fierce soldiers who were fearless.

The Jingzhou army's unremitting attack momentum on Shanli was actually stopped by the Yizhou army at this moment.

Dian Wei waved his halberd and fought in the enemy formation with a fierce and excited expression. His face was full of excitement, and his chest and arms were covered with blood, wrapping him into half a bloody man.

"Who would have thought that there were such brave soldiers in Yizhou Han Men's Middle School! I really underestimated them!" Dian Wei laughed and shouted, "Happy!"

At some point, Gan Ning and other elite soldiers rushed to Dian Wei from the slanting stalker to help him withstand the pressure from the other party.

While swinging the knife in his hand quickly, Gan Ning said, "What a man, Dian Jun, you can see clearly. These people are all Qing Qiang!"

As Gan Ning said, the current team that was facing the Jingzhou army was not the county and state soldiers of Shu, but the Qingqiang army developed through years of hard work after Liu Qi arrived in Yizhou.

Most of them are composed of old people from Shu, with a brave fighting style and fearless death.

Such people are strong soldiers in the army and mobs among the people.

These old soldiers suddenly appeared, replacing the county and state army of Yizhou as the main force, fighting against Jingzhou army with fierce fighting and slashing.

At the same time, Taishi Ci, Yan Yan and others also encountered a frontal resistance from the Qing Qiang army on the road.

Lian Dianwei and others felt that it was more troublesome to deal with them, and Taishi Ci and others were even more troublesome.

Qing Qiang on the road suddenly appeared and headed to the front of Yizhou. They were like barbarian bulls after head. No matter how sharp the other party's swords and halberds were, they rushed up without any scruples.

Taishici sat on the official road, looking at the fierce soldiers who fought desperately to attack and kill, with a deep face.

However, he was not nervous.

Taishici spent four years in Liaodong and fought many foreign tribes. He understood the most that the fighting style of desperate people was indeed a headache, but it was only a temporary moment to act fiercely, but the final decision of the battle situation would never be the tactic of not fearing death.

On the contrary, the most powerful tactic of warfare that can preserve the most vital force is the kingly tactic of warfare.

"General, the Yizhou army is fighting to the death. Our army is unstable in front of us, and there is an urgent need to break the formation!" A military waiter shouted to Taishici.

"Don't panic, you can't resist our army with just a moment of blood and courage." Taishici's tone was full of calmness.

"only……"

"Go and call Zhang Ren!"

Soon, Zhang Ren came to Taishici's presence: "General called me?"

"Jixian, do you recognize this soldier?"

Zhang Ren said seriously: "It was Liu Yan's Qing Qiang army, all composed of the old people from Yizhou."

"I have heard from you. If there are troops in Shu who can fight against us, it is nothing more than Qing Qiang... But it is quite beyond my expectations. I didn't expect these old soldiers to be so fierce." Taishi Ci sneered.

Zhang Renyan said: "There are fewer soldiers than farming, and they often mingle in the mountains and fields. Most of the dried fruits come from the mountains, forests and lakes, and their lives depend on the sky. In Yizhou, they are bullied by powerful people. Most of them are not fed. They travel through mountains and rivers all year round, so the people are brave."

Taishici tightened the spear in his hand and said, "It seems that it is quite similar to Shanyue!"

At this moment, Taishi Ci said to Zhang Ren: "However, although Qing Qiang is fierce, there is no need to panic. Among the soldiers of our Jingzhou, there are also fierce soldiers. The soldiers of the Nanman Camp and Shanyue are not afraid of death than Qing Qiang. However, the opponent's combat power is stronger than our army's imagination, so it is not difficult to deal with it for a while. As long as we set up our position, it is not difficult to defeat them... Jixian, you and I each led the elite troops, rushed out from both sides, attacked the enemy's formation, broke its formation, and raided its flanks to disrupt its army! The Qing Qiang only rushed forward desperately, but did not care about the harassment on both sides. The formation was unorganized, just like a market fight. As long as we attacked the left and right, the formation would be in chaos."

"The last official received the order!" Zhang Ren bowed and agreed.

At present, Taishi Ci and Zhang Ren's troops were divided into two groups, attacking the left and right wings of the Yizhou Army from the north and south respectively, and harassing the Yizhou Army.

This method seems simple, but not everyone can use it. Because attacking the opponent's left and right wings, you will easily get trapped in the enemy's formation of thousands of people, so you have high requirements for the leader.

Especially the opponent is Qing Qiang who is fierce in war, he must be a brave general who is both wise and brave, quick and adaptable.

In Taishici's view, only he and Zhang Ren can do it.

The two of them took the lead, rushed towards each other's left and right wings at a storm of wind, and launched an attack almost at the same time. The pace of cooperation was seamless and tacit understanding.

If any of them were replaced by Dian Wei, I would probably have disrupted the layout of the other one.

Taishici's method was indeed effective. He and Zhang Ren went to both sides of the Yizhou army respectively, showing a double-teaming momentum, taking advantage of the success of dispersing the opponent's attack momentum, using attack instead of defense, and maintaining the formation of the formation.

As Taishi Ci said to Zhang Ren, there were also a large number of Jing barbarian soldiers and Shanyue soldiers in the Jingzhou army. These gentry were no less than those in combat style and bravery than those in Yizhou army.

Taishi Ci was accustomed to using spears to seize people, but today, he led the army with his long halberd as weapons, and led a group of powerful soldiers to tear a gap on the side of the Qingqiang Army.

He led the way, like a sharp blade in the enemy's army, breaking away all the obstacles in front of him, and plunged into the sea of ​​people with lightning speed.

He was surrounded by Qing Qiang, but he was fearless. His long halberd was flying up and down beside him... cut off the enemy's neck and pierced the enemy's belly bag!

On the mountain, Dian Wei, Gan Ning, Xu Dan and Xu Yi led the infantry to fight to the death in the crowd. They killed one enemy after another. Every time they killed one enemy, they would shout loudly, and the sound of the sky was completely heard, which led to the high fighting spirit of the soldiers behind them.

In the back formation, the battle situation ahead surprised Liu Qi.

Although I know the reputation of the Qingqiang Army in Yizhou, in Liu Qi's opinion, it should be very easy for the tiger and wolf army, which had fought with the Liangzhou Army and the Bingzhou Army, to defeat the Yizhou Army.

But the facts have proved that the Yizhou Army has indeed had the power to fight with its own side with the powerful terrain of Luocheng.

"What is Liu Xun's purpose in fighting this battle?" Looking at the battle situation ahead, Liu Qi suddenly spoke slowly.

Liu Ye, who was staying next to Liu Qi, was stunned when he heard this.

"What does the Lord and Hou mean?"

Liu Qi raised his hand, pointed his whip at Luocheng in the distance, and asked Liu Ye: "Ziyang, look at Luoyang, located east of the Sichuan-Shu Plain, facing the west side of the Longquan Mountains, the city wall is towering and built based on the mountain. It can be said to be the key link of Shu. With such a majestic pass, Liu Yu did not guard it, but insisted on fighting a head-on battle with us. This is a thankless move. Why did Liu Yu's move? Can you figure it out?"

Liu Ye sighed and said, "To be honest, the last official can't figure it out."

"I can't figure it out either, so I was a little uneasy in this battle."
