The battlefield incident that happened to the troops on the right side of the Qi army was quickly reported back to the Chinese army camp. Gao Yang, who was rejoicing at the breakthrough on the front, suddenly changed his face after learning about it. After a moment, he sighed.
: "The Qiang thieves are really treacherous in their use of troops. They risked their lives and I was punished by the thieves."
Previously, He Baren was unwilling to launch a large-scale attack on the flanks, but Gao Yang persisted and increased his troops several times. Now that the enemy has risked fighting on two fronts and trapped them in a trap, Gao Yang is indeed going to have to bear the burden.
main responsibility.
He really didn't expect that the enemy army would retain a fresh force to lay traps under such strong pressure. But if he thought about it more carefully, this situation was actually more reasonable.
The enemy originally had the idea of fighting and retreating to lure the enemy deeper. This new group of troops may be the troops returning to the division. By failing to attack the camp, they took the initiative to make a move and gave up part of their own position for luring them.
The troops on the right flank of the Qi army underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, and then gathered their forces to eliminate them. After removing the pressure from the flanking battlefield mountains, the Wei army could concentrate on gradually retreating against the pressure of the frontal battlefield.
From this perspective, Gao Yang cannot actually say that he fell into Li Boshan's scheme, but took the initiative to break the trap.
If the Right Army still has only about 10,000 troops as before, once it falls into this trap, it is really possible that the enemy will gather superior forces to quickly kill them all, and then quickly evacuate after being devoured.
However, Gao Yang sent more troops to the Right Route Army. Now there are more than 30,000 troops. Even if such a large number of troops rush into the enemy's trap, it is completely impossible to encircle and eliminate them in a short time.
.On the contrary, it exposes its intentions more and more, making it impossible for its treacherous plan to succeed.
In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy will be pale and powerless. Although Li Boshan is cunning and scheming, Gao Yang has the confidence and strength to conquer the ten societies. After experiencing the initial shock, Gao Yang said in a deep voice: "
Inform King An Ding to order the troops to stick to their positions and not to be frightened by the thieves and flee rashly. Although the thieves have treacherous plots, they are still facing enemies from both sides. After defeating the army's formation here, the danger of the troops is relieved.
!”
After making this explanation, his attention turned back to the frontal battlefield. The additional 10,000 divisions and brigades previously sent to the battlefield were already conducting orderly rotation operations with the front formations, and still maintained a
An extremely fierce offensive.
However, Gao Yang still felt that this was not enough. While he sent more troops to the north to form a majestic formation to frighten the enemy, he also ordered Xue Guyan to continue to strengthen the offensive, making sure that the enemy forces were overwhelmed with attention.
As the Qi army's offensive further intensified, the situation of the Wei army on the Piyuan also took a turn for the worse. However, Li Tai, who stood on the top of the platform below the Chinese army's banner, still looked calm.
Tian Hong, who had just withdrawn from the first front line, was wounded several times. With the help of his subordinates, he came down to the bottom of the banner and said with regret and shame: "I am ashamed of myself for not being able to hold the line until noon. I have failed my Lord."
Entrusted..."
Li Tai stepped forward to help Tian Hong, who was unsteady on his feet, and glanced at the exhausted soldiers who had withdrawn from the front line one by one, with almost all of them injured.
It is very valuable to fight hard and hold off the enemy for a long time. If the war can turn around, you all rely on this power! You will not have to wait for the follow-up battle, but you need to be settled in the camp to watch the enemy and kill the enemy!"
As he spoke, he arranged for the soldiers who had been fighting for a long time to retreat to the camp and place them properly. But in fact, there was little pure land in the Wei army's camp at this time. Although there was fierce fighting on the front plateau, the northeast position behind the plateau was
Most of it has been occupied by the enemy's flanking troops, and it is under attack from both front and rear. The situation is very bad.
On the battlefield at this time, the strength of the Western Wei army had also been used to the extreme. The 8,000 divisions and brigade led by Tian Hong resisted the Qi army's frontal offensive for a long time, and eventually more than half of them were killed or injured. On the side battlefield, the 10,000 troops on the left led by Gao Le
The army, plus the 5,000 additional troops sent by the Chinese army, have been encircling and resisting the Qi army's partial division coming across the river.
At this time, there are still more than 10,000 new troops on the mountaintop who have not participated in today's war. They have been watching the war and recharging their strength. This group of troops is Li Tai's real trump card for today's comeback!
In front of Piyuan, the enemy's offensive is fierce, and the fiercer the enemy's offensive, the more relieved Li Tai feels. The war is not only about human lives, but also about people's hearts. The more people's emotions reach the peak of excitement, the more they are suddenly interrupted.
The sense of frustration and destruction becomes even stronger.
The biggest advantage of the Qi army compared to the Wei army was that it had more troops, but it also had the biggest negative blessing, that is, their emperor came to the battlefield in person and led the troops to conquer in person.
The leader of Qi, Gao Yang, cannot be said to be ignorant of soldiers, but at least he cannot be called a first-rate general. The most fundamental point is his indifference to human life. Looking at his military operations, human lives are rarely included in his calculations, and those who rely on strength can achieve success.
If he succeeds, he will not be able to succeed if he needs to judge the situation at the right time. The limit of his ability is this wave of recklessness. If he is not reckless enough, he will start to fail.
There is no such cliche as saying that you are kind and don't control soldiers. In ancient times, soldiers were like gods, such as Wu Qi in the Warring States Period. It is not cruel to kill his wife to seek generals, but he can suck the sores of soldiers to show his kindness. Gao Yang is cruel and arrogant, even if he understands this truth, he is too lazy
He is pretentious and has a cruel temperament that treats human life as nothing, and this is particularly obvious in war, which is a matter that consumes a lot of human life.
Such a person does not have the patience to work step by step, carefully weigh the trade-offs, and seek final victory at a reasonable cost. He will only continue to intimidate and squeeze, and only sees the result of victory, and all the efforts made in the process are in his eyes.
It's a natural price to pay.
The current battle situation between the Wei army and the enemy is in line with Li Tai's prediction of Gao Yang. In fact, this rapid attack and quick decision cannot fully utilize the Qi army's strength advantage, because of the limitations of the battlefield environment.
The number of troops that can be put into combat at the same time is limited. The Wei army can resist several times the enemy by holding on to its position, and the Qi army's strength advantage cannot be fully reflected.
But this gave Li Tai an opportunity to use his small skills to make a big difference. He only had to wait until the time was right to activate all the arrangements.
When he saw that the men and horses on the battlefield on the flank of the Qi army were still holding on to their lines and had no intention of retreating, while the enemy's offensive on the frontal battlefield became more and more fierce, Li Tai understood that the fish had already been bitten.
Whether it can explode or not depends on the next battle.
He raised his hand and ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, and ordered all the soldiers defending the second front to withdraw to the rear, handing over the second front.
The officers and soldiers of the Qi army during the battle were pleasantly surprised when they saw the Wei army retreating on its own initiative. Xue Guyan, who had been accompanying the army to supervise the battle, was even more overjoyed and shouted loudly: "The thieves are now surrounded by enemies, their power is poor, and they are exhausted. Attack quickly, attack quickly.
Capture the enemy camp and capture the traitor general Li Boshan!"
Encouraged by this, the soldiers of the Qi army rushed forward and occupied the positions vacated by the Wei army's retreat. The soldiers at the front even pushed forward to the Wei army's third line of defense. The following divisions and brigades were linked up in the rear.
Then don't forget to destroy the chariots in the formation, so that the cavalry team that has been waiting for a long time can attack smoothly.
But when they happily chopped open the outer walls of those chariots, they discovered that the chariots inside the second line were not filled with earth and rocks like those in the previous line to increase their stability, but were filled with
Firewood, lint, and ointment in earthen jars!
"Oops, get back!"
The quick-thinking sergeant suddenly changed his face when he saw this scene, and he hurriedly wanted to retreat. However, the warriors from behind were rushing forward, intending to seize the credit for entering the battle, and they could not retreat for a while.
The soldiers of the Qi army did not know that a disaster was coming, but the soldiers of the Shesheng Battalion who had been waiting in the third line of defense for a long time did not delay the opportunity to fight. As the military order was issued from the rear, they immediately ignited the rockets and fired.
The rockets accurately hit the tanks on the second line of defense, instantly igniting the charcoal and grease accumulated in those tanks. At this time, many tanks had been hacked and destroyed by Qi army sergeants, and everything inside was destroyed.
The firewood in full bloom was also scattered in the Qi army's formation. After being ignited by the rocket, the fire immediately spread in the Qi army's formation.
"The Qiang thieves are so treacherous that they use fire to attack..."
The sudden fire caught the soldiers of the Qi army off guard. Those who were close to the fire naturally tried their best to escape, but the crowds surging behind still blocked the way back. Seeing that the fire was about to spread to them, some people even directly
Paoze swung his knife towards the back road, causing chaos in the scene.
The burning fire cut off the Qi army's formation. The soldiers who had rushed to the third line of defense were originally happy that they had achieved great success, but now they were shocked to find that they were alone in the attack. The soldiers behind them were overwhelmed by the fire.
Intercept and force them back, abandoning them in front of the formation, helplessly facing the enemy's brutal blade!
"Bang the drum and attack!"
Following Li Tai's order, the soldiers who had been waiting for a long time on the top of the mountain suddenly rushed out of the last line of defense in front of the camp like tigers coming out of the fence, and rushed towards the panicked enemy soldiers in front of the defense line.
Killed and left.
"Steady, steady! The fire is still under control and has not spread. Stay in line and don't let the Qiang thieves come back to kill you!"
The incident happened suddenly, and Xue Guyan was shocked, but after reacting, he immediately shouted orders and tried to stop the retreating soldiers.
However, water and fire are merciless, and people's fear of them is deeply rooted in their hearts. At this moment, everyone is panicking, and few people obey the orders. The entire battlefield in front of Piyuan is full of chaos. Even Xue Guyan sent troops to intercept the retreating troops.
The soldiers supervising the battle were immediately overwhelmed by the frightened crowd.
