The Baibao sergeants are the soldiers of the Suwei who were selected by Qi Lord Gao Yang among the people of Liufang Xianbei. It is said that each of them has the courage to fight one against a hundred, and their performance on the battlefield at this moment is enough to match the elite.
name.
The Baibao sergeants who were ordered to line up on the south bank of the Tongda River to act as supervisors only numbered a few thousand, while on the battlefield on the north bank there were tens of thousands of people who panicked and wanted to flee south.
These people swarmed south, and the impact of the people alone was already quite powerful, not to mention the fact that there were many people who were eager to survive and brandished weapons to attack and kill them.
However, no matter how these people attack, the defense line along the river formed by the Baibao sergeants is still extremely stable. There are only a few people who can break through and retreat. Even if two or three people occasionally break out of the army formation, they will be killed immediately.
They were captured in the formation and forced back. When the stubborn people were really hard to persuade, the Baibao sergeants could only slash and kill them outside the formation to deter other people who fled outside the formation.
The retreating people in Battlefield Mountain were already frightened and ambitious people. They did not dare to fight and kill the enemy as recommended by the king, so how could they be the opponents of the one-in-a-hundred-to-one-hundred-security sergeant?
The enemy obviously planned to pursue them one after another and expel these defeated soldiers to attack the Chinese army's camps and military formations on the south bank. However, due to the strength of the Baibao sergeants, this plan failed to succeed. Numerous routs were carried out.
The soldiers were blocked and killed, and their corpses almost filled the Tongdan Waterway.
Because they had not been able to break through the defense line on the south bank with rout, the offensive of the Wei army on the north bank could only be temporarily slowed down, and they did not continue to go straight down and sweep thousands of troops.
Although the crisis was temporarily blocked, there was no joy on Gao Yang's face, especially when he saw the corpses of soldiers piled in the Tongtan water, his face turned livid, and he cursed angrily: "These thieves are wasting the country's food.
So, when it comes to the battle, you are too timid to fight and dare not kill the thief, but want to stir up chaos. You really deserve to die! It is always a death, and dying in battle is commendable. To die here, it is not a pity to die!"
He didn't feel sorry for the soldiers who suffered these deaths, but he was angry that these people would rather run back and be killed by the supervising soldiers than kill the enemy on the battlefield. These stupid and cowardly people would even die.
Worthless and hateful!
At this time, on the north bank of the Tongda River, the defeated Qi army, unable to advance or retreat, was attacked by the north and the south and forced into a small space. The scene was extremely chaotic, with various people and horses roaring, wailing and wailing in a miserable manner.
In the Wei army's formation, Li Tai saw that the Qi army on the south bank was holding on to the river line, and the defeated soldiers on the north bank were forced out of the formation. Even if they attacked again, they would only increase the number of killings. It would be difficult to defeat the enemy's central army with these disorganized masses.
For protection, he raised his hand and ordered the offensive to be suspended. The armies' battle formations were slightly reorganized, and he moved forward a little distance surrounded by his own soldiers.
"I would like to inform the Jinyang disciples that we are here to fight against the thieves who have stolen the country, not to kill you. If Wei Can and other traitorous generals can abandon their weapons and return to justice, I can forgive them, not to mention that you Cao has no great evil in his heart."
, were forced to join the thieves! You have committed no serious crime, and there is no need to pay for it with your life. Each of you abandoned your weapons and left on your own accord. If you still stay in the formation and prevent me from killing the thieves, you will die without complaint! After three drums, continue the attack!
"
Li Tai shouted to the miserable and panic-stricken soldiers of the Northern Qi army on the opposite side, and then ordered the soldiers to retreat a certain distance to give the Qi soldiers some space to leave the battlefield. He also did not forget to stimulate Gao Yang on the other side.
, the leader shouted towards the opposite side: "Master of thieves, please don't leave. If you come back to fight after the group of disciples have retreated, you will be killed here!"
Not to mention the defeated Qi troops on the battlefield on the north bank who were still frightened and confused and didn't know where to go. Gao Yang, the leader of Qi on the south bank, was extremely angry when he saw this and heard the words. He pointed at the opposite side and yelled: "How dare you betray your kindness by being a coward?"
The crowd is here! Bring my horse and I will personally go to the formation to kill the thieves, kill, kill all the Qiang thieves! Send my military order, whoever dares to abandon his weapons and leave in front of the formation will be punished!"
"Your Majesty, calm down, please calm down! This is a treacherous plot by the Qiang thieves to drive a wedge between the people above and below. The people in the north are already frightened and frightened. If you still threaten them, you will only force them to surrender to the enemy. It is better to send another group of troops to build a building at the mouth of the river."
Floating across the river to lead the masses south, to comfort the hearts of the masses..."
Seeing that the emperor was furious and out of control, all the generals here were also panicking. Xu Yuan, who had been discussing the matter before, hurriedly stepped forward to give advice.
At this moment, Gao Yang was already confused about right and wrong. After hearing what Xu Yuan said, he immediately snatched away the soldier's head, pointed at him condescendingly and said angrily: "Those thieves are defeated, they all deserve to die! You
You actually advised me to divide my troops and prevent me from joining the battle to kill the bandits. What treacherous plot could there be?"
Seeing this, Xu Yuan hurriedly knelt on the ground and did not dare to shout. Gao Yang's eyes passed over the generals one by one. Wherever he could see, all the generals lowered their heads and did not dare to look at each other.
At this time, the enemy's war drums on the other side of the bank were already beating, and the rapid roar made it difficult for Gao Yang to calm down and think about things. However, when he saw that many sergeants on the north bank had dropped their weapons and followed the path given by the Wei army towards the battlefield, they were still unstoppable.
When he reached the river mouth valley, he couldn't help but the anger surged on his face, and he murmured: "These thieves really dare to surrender to the enemy on the battlefield... They are not afraid of my life? They are really not afraid..."
For those who are superior, downward perception is a relatively rare ability. Especially for people who are inherently arrogant and stubborn, it is even more difficult for them to acquire this ability and they do not bother to use it.
Gao Yang was used to taking the lives of his countrymen and even ignored that survival was a human instinct and power. When he saw the defeated troops on the battlefield dropping their weapons and giving up resistance in order to survive, he felt incredible for a moment.
How dare these people do such a thing in front of him?
The dissatisfaction in the war had already made him feel frustrated, and now the soldiers openly rebelled in front of him, which made him feel a sense of panic about the loss of authority. This fear that grew from the bottom of his heart made him unable to do anything.
Avoiding it, all kinds of messy thoughts that aggravated his panic could not help but emerge in his mind.
"King Pingyuan, where is King Anding? Why is it so late?"
He looked around, suddenly opened his mouth and shouted, using an angry and accusatory tone to cover up the panic in his heart: "Could it be that they are also afraid of the thieves and dare not come to help?"
This accusation is somewhat unreasonable. At this time, it has not been too long since he sent the order to return to the Chinese army. It will also take a certain amount of time for other troops to move their positions, especially the right army where He Baren is currently fighting on the enemy's flank.
It's harder to get back in time.
But at this moment, none of the generals dared to defend him. Some of the quick-thinking generals took the opportunity to ask for orders to urge the reinforcements to arrive quickly, hoping to temporarily leave the emperor's sight and not erect a dangerous wall.
to avoid any unnecessary disaster.
Gao Yang impatiently waved his hand and urged the general to go quickly. When his eyes fell back to the battlefield on the north bank again, many more soldiers abandoned their weapons and left. This inevitably made him feel more irritable, and he simply ordered the attack without waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.
On the battlefield at this time, the Wei army only had more than ten thousand soldiers, and they still did not have an advantage in numbers. Even so far, the number of defeated troops on the north bank still far exceeded the number of Wei troops who attacked, but they had no fighting spirit to fight back.
, just a look of despair, ready to die.
This is one of the reasons why Gao Yang is particularly angry with these soldiers. He does not feel that his threats and intimidation are also one of the reasons for breaking down the psychological defense of the frontline soldiers.
In his opinion, as long as these soldiers can withstand the pressure of the general dying in battle, and are not swayed by the Wei army's monstrous words, and organize a spontaneous resistance, they will still be able to fight, even if they cannot turn defeat into victory, at least they can
The enemy army will be greatly depleted, leaving behind a weak division that can be defeated in one blow.
As a result, these people couldn't fulfill even such a simple request, and they really deserved to die!
Where the two sides fought, the Chinese army led by Gao Yang of the Northern Qi Dynasty was the more than 80,000 divisions and brigade he brought from Jinyang. The left army Duan Shao still had 70,000 troops after dividing his troops to defend against enemy forces elsewhere.
The remaining troops were divided into more than 10,000 cavalry envoys and sent to He Baren to form a right route army.
On the first day of the battle, due to the Qi Company of the Left Route Army underestimating the enemy's aggressive advance, the division and brigade were defeated. In a rage, Gao Yang transferred most of Duan Shao's Left Route Army, leaving him with less than 30,000 troops. Then the Central Army
During the battle, an additional 20,000 troops were gradually sent to the right route army.
As the battle progressed on the frontal battlefield, more than 40,000 soldiers were invested one after another. Deducting some of the casualties and injuries, before the battle collapsed in the front, there were still nearly 30,000 soldiers on the entire north bank battlefield.
Therefore, the Chinese military camp on the south bank of the Tongtan River still has more than 60,000 soldiers ready for combat, and it still has an absolute advantage in terms of military strength.
The reason why Gao Yang dared to treat the tens of thousands of people on the battlefield on the north bank as abandoned was because of this. Although the two wings of troops have not yet withdrawn from the Chinese army, the strength of the Chinese army alone is enough to launch another attack on the other side.
Counterattack.
But these are just superficial data. In fact, the bad impact of the defeat in the battle on the north bank just now is not only the loss of men and horses on the front line. The Wei army has repeatedly shouted that Jinyang City has been breached.
The scene of Baibao sergeants blocking the river to intercept the enemy soldier Paoze left an indelible impression on the hearts of all the Chinese army officers and soldiers!
Now the order to attack was issued again, and the generals returned to their respective groups to gather the troops. However, the corpses of Paoze filling the ravines in the river were still in front of them. The speed of these Qi army officers and soldiers in preparing for the battle had slowed down, and they were still unable to finish.
Attack.
At the same time, the three-way drum order of the Wei army on the north bank had ended, and at this time, most of the Qi army jammed along the north bank of the Tongda River had dispersed.
At this moment of life-and-death decision-making, one side was the friendly army that waved the butcher knife at them mercilessly, and the other side was the enemies who, although not many, were willing to release goodwill to them and give them a glimmer of hope. Most of them ended up
I followed my instinct and made my own choice.
Just like back then, they and their fathers chose to follow Gao Huan in Xindu Jianyi and crusade against the Erzhu family in order to survive, but this time the choice was contrary to that of the past, and Qi Lord Gao Yang, who forced them to make this choice,
Just like the Erzhu family who was cruel and unkind to the people of the six towns back then!
As the path of attack was cleared, Li Tai did not hesitate to move forward because the enemy was outnumbered. When the drums stopped, he drew his saber and pointed forward, shouting loudly: "Hebei Road Shen
, Heaven and man are all indignant! The great evil is now, seek the thieves and kill the enemy! If we don’t break the thieves’ army, we swear not to return our troops!”
