On the top of the plateau, Wei army officers and soldiers poured out of the formation like a tide. Tens of thousands of fresh troops who had been waiting for battle for a long time rushed down the slope. Two thousand elite cavalry were in front to clear the way, and the infantry formation was connected in the rear.
The prison cart in which Wei Can and other Jinzhou prisoners were sitting was still pushed at the front of the battle formation, with five hundred armored cavalry in front and behind responsible for pulling it. The entire battlefield echoed with the shouts of the Wei army: "Jinyang has been conquered, we can't abandon our weapons."
kill!"
Although the Wei army's slogans deliberately confused Jinzhou and Jinyang, it is difficult to sway the enemy's morale with just a few slogans. Although Wei Can and others who served as witnesses were dignitaries in Qi, they could not guarantee that they would be among the troops.
Everyone knows.
But it is enough for the commanders and generals to know each other. If these people feel panic and suspicion, this emotion will directly infect their subordinates. Although these people know in their hearts that what Wei Can and others are guarding is Jin Dynasty.
Prefecture rather than Jinyang, but if Jinzhou is lost, Jinyang will be in danger. Now that they are far away in the north of Shangdang, which is blocked by high mountains, they are naturally worried about the situation in Jinyang now.
"King Changle, is what Wei Jun said true or false? Is it true that Jinyang has been conquered by thieves?"
Some generals of the Qi army had the courage to approach the front of the Wei army's formation, shouting and asking questions at the top of their lungs. However, this was not a discussion at the moment. Their behavior itself had already revealed their panic, and the shouting would only be contagious.
more people.
Naturally, the officers and soldiers of the Wei army would not give them the time or opportunity to talk calmly. After defending the camp for most of the day, they finally took the initiative to launch an attack. Accompanied by the exciting sound of war drums, they all held weapons in their hands and fought bravely towards the enemy.
Li Tai was already fully armed at this time, and he personally supervised the formation and charged downwards. Behind him, the battle flag waved in the wind, which not only pointed out the location of the general to the soldiers, but also promoted his confidence that this battle would be won.
On the other hand, things were not going well in the battle formation of the Qi army. Not to mention how shocking the Wei army's heart attack plan was to everyone's hearts, just the fact that its frontline commander Xue Guyan was chased and killed in the formation had already made Qi's army miserable.
The military morale was devastated. Without a unified command, they fell into chaos fighting independently.
"The thief general Xue Guyan is dead, you will abandon your weapons and not kill him!"
Xue Guyan's body was lifted high with spears by the knights of the Wei army, and they ran back and forth shouting and shouting between the two armies' fighting fronts.
Under these multiple blows, some soldiers of the Qi army finally couldn't bear it anymore and did not dare to stay on the plateau to continue the fierce battle with the enemy. Instead, they withdrew and fled towards the rear.
But now the Qi army has gathered tens of thousands of troops on the Piyuan. The formation is so dense that even if you want to retreat, it is very difficult. They are crowded in front and back and trapped in place, screaming loudly and sadly.
, so that the riot has not spread to the entire formation.
However, as the large forces of the Wei army rushed closer and began to engage in real enemy combat, the situation suddenly changed again.
Although there were Qi Army sergeants on the battlefield at this time relying on their survival instincts and fighting under the organization of their respective commanders, they were not the mainstream on the entire front. Most of the sergeants were still frightened and had difficulty concentrating.
Yu Zhan.
The officers and soldiers of the Wei army who launched the attack at this time were by no means a weak mob. They were very strong in terms of combat effectiveness and will to fight. Naturally, the Qi army was in such a state that it was difficult for them to be an enemy. After a hasty response, after a short period of resistance, a large number of people began to appear.
Casualties and casualties continued to fall under the butcher's knife of the Wei army.
As the Wei army's front advanced further, those Qi army officers and soldiers who were still resisting the battle on the battlefield soon found that they were deeply trapped in the enemy's formation. All they could see were ferocious enemy troops. They were slightly lax or lacked strength during the battle.
Then, there were random swords slashing him down immediately!
"The thief is fierce, stand back..."
Under the fierce offensive of the Wei army, the Qi army, which lacked a complete offensive and defensive formation, was immediately at a disadvantage. As casualties increased greatly at the battle site, the frontline soldiers all scrambled to retreat.
As the crowd pushed back and forth and became a mass, it became more difficult to spread out the formation. Even waving weapons to fight the enemy became quite difficult. The only way to do that was to be driven back by the crowd with the wave of the enemy's butcher knife.
.
Because the formation was too dense, the impact of the retreat in the front was quickly reflected back to the rear of the formation. The entire military formation moved backwards, and some soldiers standing on the bank of the Tongtan River were directly squeezed into the river.
"Don't retreat, kill the enemy quickly!"
At this time, the soldiers of the Forbidden Army Baibao Xianbei who were supervising the battle on the south bank still abided by the emperor's order and did not allow these soldiers to retreat to the south bank. Even the soldiers who were squeezed into the river were urged to continue to go ashore to kill the enemy. Dare to
If anyone refuses to follow, you should draw your bow and shoot at him.
But no matter how fiercely these supervisors blocked it, it was still difficult to prevent the soldiers from fleeing. Not to mention the ferocious offensive of the Wei army, the frontline battle formations were overcrowded and completely disordered, making it difficult to continue fighting and stay on the battlefield.
Above, what awaits them will only be a one-sided massacre!
Ants are still greedy for life, let alone humans? When they knew they were invincible and there was no point in continuing the battle, it was certainly impossible for these Qi army soldiers to defend the battlefield. Even if they were allowed to retreat to the south bank to reorganize their battle formation, it would be far worse than staying behind.
It's better to be crowded on the battlefield and wait to die!
These sergeants were wailing, begging, and begging the South Bank Supervisors to let them go and allow them to go to the South Bank to reorganize their troops. However, these elite Baibao soldiers only obeyed the emperor's orders. Before His Majesty the Emperor gave the order to release the troops, they were determined to
Those who did not dare to let him go privately still sullenly waved their swords to stop the retreating soldiers.
"Your Majesty, the Qiang thieves are counterattacking very fiercely. The soldiers are all worried about the safety of Jinyang. General Xue Gu is out of the battle again. The situation on the battlefield is really not good. Can the soldiers be allowed to retreat to the south bank temporarily?"
Seeing that the fighting on the other side was fierce and the troops on our own side suffered heavy casualties, making it difficult for them to be enemies, a general came forward with a worried look on his face and gave him advice.
However, the Qi leader Gao Yang's face was as dark as water at this moment, and he shouted angrily: "Don't retreat, let the Qiang thieves kill them. Even if they kill all the front lines, there are still tens of thousands of troops in the central army! Wait until the swords are blunt and the people are tired.
When I counterattack and kill the thieves! Tell the front line that anyone who can kill Wei Can and other scum who have lost their land and humiliated the country will be rewarded with great merit!"
Such a reversal of situation on the battlefield naturally made Gao Yang furious. He originally thought that the enemy army was deliberately seeking to escape, including luring passers-by into the formation to encircle and kill them in order to switch to the battle and withdraw. However, it was not until the Wei army's reserve division brigade attacked the front battlefield.
, he realized that the enemy's target was actually him, and he was naturally extremely ashamed and annoyed.
On the northern battlefield at this time, the Qi army, which had lost control and organization, suffered heavy casualties, but even if they were allowed to come south, it would be difficult to reorganize and go into battle in a short period of time. On the contrary, it would squeeze the current Central Military Division.
Travel space.
If these defeated troops are allowed to come south and are attacked one after another by the enemy, the entire Chinese army position will fall into chaos, and it will be even more difficult to fight. At present, if the troops on the battlefield are kept on the north bank, although there will be heavy casualties, it will still be possible.
A layer of flesh and blood barrier has been formed to protect the Chinese army. The enemy troops are now charging out in large numbers. If they want to attack the Chinese army, they must break through the battle formation. After their men and horses have exhausted their physical strength, it will be time for the South Bank Division and Brigade to fight back!
After once again reaffirming that the North Coast Division and Brigade were not allowed to withdraw, Gao Yang sent orders to the troops on the left and right, asking them to abandon their current positions and gather all the troops that could be mobilized to the Chinese army's position for their drive to proceed.
The battle of counterattack.
After explaining these things, Gao Yang waved his hand and rejected the proposal of his soldiers to withdraw from the Chinese army's tent. He boarded the viewing platform again, looked at the approaching Wei army's tent on the opposite side, with a stern look in his eyes, and drew his sword.
Pointing to the direction under the big banner, he shouted in a deep voice: "The winner will be decided in this battle, the Qiang thieves will die!"
Li Tai in the military formation seemed to faintly feel a malicious gaze staring at him. He shook his head and put aside the messy perceptions and illusions on the battlefield. His eyes swept across the entire battlefield and found which part of the enemy was particularly chaotic. Even if
He sent soldiers to attack that place and further expanded the chaos.
As for himself, he no longer charges into battle as he did in previous years. Now his mere presence in the battle formation is a blessing to morale. However, if he really wants to go into battle to kill the enemy, most of the time it will only add chaos. Even if he can kill and gain something,
, the benefits it brought to the war were not enough to make the soldiers fearful.
The casualties caused by the continuous ferocious attacks of the Wei army greatly aggravated the chaos of the Qi army's military formation. The Qi army's sergeants in the battle formation were harvested like weeds. The enemy's attack and killing had frightened them to death, and what really made them want to die was the enemy's attack.
What they will never recover from is to add insult to injury from their own side.
Under the order of Qi Zhu Gaoyang, the war supervising imperial army on the south bank not only did not let the soldiers on the north bank go, but intercepted them more tightly and directly built a new line of defense on the south bank. The soldiers on the north bank were completely abandoned!
After wailing and begging, what they got in exchange was the swords and riding whips of their own soldiers waving high. After many soldiers of the Qi army on the north bank realized this, they couldn't help but roar in despair: "Wait a minute."
How can he be a bandit if he fights to the death for his country? Now that the enemy is chasing him, the Supreme Being does not send his troops to rescue him, but refuses to stay outside the formation. Why is he so unkind!"
However, these accusations of blood and tears did not receive any response. The Imperial Army supervising the battle on the south bank only responded with indifference. Even some Imperial Army sergeants felt compassion and sympathy, but when they thought that if they disobeyed the supreme military order, they would have to pay the price with their lives, they could only
He hardened his heart and turned a deaf ear to Bei Mian Pao Ze's plaintive cries and accusations.
Seeing that there was no hope of retreating and escaping, many soldiers of the Qi army dropped their weapons and surrendered to the Wei army. However, although the Wei army shouted to abandon their weapons and not kill, in order to maintain the rhythm of the attack, they did not give the Qi army a chance to slow down.
They did not stop the offensive and regroup, but ordered the Qingqi to drive the abandoned soldiers to the side of the river bank, and then continued to attack the remaining Qi army.
"I will live without guilt, and those who stop me will die!"
There was no way to survive before and after. Compared with the Wei army, which was a life and death enemy, the south bank undoubtedly cut off the retreat, and it was even more hateful for the friendly troops to abandon all of them like worn-out shoes. In despair, some Qi army generals simply led the troops around them
They rushed straight to the south bank, vowing to break out of a bloody road and fight for a slim chance of survival.
