Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

On the south bank of the Tongtan River, when Gao Yang saw the frontline soldiers breaking through the enemy's front line again with overwhelming force, his face suddenly burst into smiles, and he frequently clenched his fists as if fighting hard.

However, his excitement did not last long. Soon, the sudden fire on the second front line directly cut off the front line soldiers, and it was like a bucket of ice water being poured down on his head, which made his face change drastically. , roared angrily: "The Qiang thieves are really treacherous and deserve to die!"

The chaos on the front line continued to expand. The hastily withdrawing troops collided with the people and horses in the rear. The chaotic scene was not effectively controlled for a long time. Even the flag of the front line commander Xue Guyan was frightened away by the chaotic soldiers. The swing of the impact inevitably made Gao Yang even more irritated and worried, and he cursed repeatedly: "Xue Guyan is really a pig and a dog, and his courage is in vain. He is not prepared for the thief's plot when facing the enemy!"

When he was scolding Xue Guyan here, he forgot that the orders for the previous storms on the battlefield were all issued by him over the battlefield. He blindly forced the advance with high pressure, and indeed did not leave any reaction to such variables. and space for coping.

When he saw that the riots in the formation were still expanding, and even the formations that had been sent to the north bank to form formations but had not yet participated in the attack began to be affected, Gao Yang's eyes immediately condensed and he personally walked down from the viewing platform. He ordered all the elite soldiers of Baibao Xianbei to line up on the south bank. Any soldiers who retreated would be killed without mercy. He himself even beheaded several people with his sword.

Under the threat of military orders here, the sergeants on the north bank who were infected by the panic atmosphere gradually calmed down again, and the riot did not continue to spread southward.

At this time, on the battlefield of Piyuan, those soldiers who had charged too hard and were blocked by the fire in front of the enemy's formation were not spared, but their number was not too large, only more than a thousand in total. Most of the others retreated, and only a few unlucky ones perished in the fire.

Although this accident caught people off guard, the actual casualties caused were not large, not even comparable to the casualties suffered within half an hour of the previous battle on the first front. Of course, if the casualties injured due to panic and fleeing were squeezed, trampled, and collided, Taking into account the personnel, it’s hard to say.

Although the fire scared off a group of frontline soldiers, it also blocked the Wei army's counterattack and did not take the opportunity to rush out to pursue and expand the victory. This may be because the war on the flank battlefield has put too much pressure on the Wei army, making it difficult to dispatch its troops calmly, or the Wei army still focuses on annihilating the flank troops and facilitating evacuation, and has no desire to expand its results on the frontal battlefield. .

No matter what the situation was, it was a blessing among misfortunes. With the joint efforts of the front and rear supervising soldiers, the turbulent situation was finally under control, and the retreating soldiers also regrouped on the north bank. The only pity was probably that the previous bold offensive was interrupted, and the morale of the shocked soldiers was obviously not as strong as before.

All the soldiers on the front line retreated, and during the previous battle they added many more troops to the north. At this moment, the soldiers of the Forbidden Army blocked the river line and were not allowed to evacuate southward. Tens of thousands of people were crowded into this space, which was extremely cramped. If the enemy could inflict any long-range attack here at this time, it would be another scene of panic.

As the situation was slightly under control, Xue Guyan quickly sent people to the rear to ask for instructions on what to do next, whether to continue fighting, or to withdraw to the formation and rest for a while before attacking.

After hearing this request, Gao Yang looked at the Wei army's battle formation in the distance. At this time, the Wei army's first line of defense had long been bulldozed, and the fire on the second line of defense had gradually weakened, leaving only the Chinese army's large banner. The last line of defense ahead.

"Continue the attack!"

After a brief pause, Gao Yang waved his hand and gave the order. He did not have the patience to regroup and fight again, and he was only one step away from breaking through the enemy's formation. If he stopped attacking at this time, it would only give the enemy a chance to breathe, and it would also put the people on the right flank fighting in a worrying situation.

It is unpredictable whether the enemy will fight or flee next. The only correct thing to do at the moment is to be courageous and continue to attack. As long as this battle can be won, even if the leader of the bandit Li Boshan cannot be captured and killed, the vitality of the Western Wei Dynasty will be greatly damaged, the lost territory will be recovered, and it will be unable to invade again for several years.

Without the harassment and threats from the Western Wei Dynasty, Gao Yang could take advantage of the power of this victory and calmly deal with some of the personnel problems that had emerged in the country.

When he thought of this, his eyes suddenly became more determined, and he confirmed again: "Continue to attack! If you don't break the enemy camp, you are not allowed to look back and return to the army! If you break the enemy camp, all the disciples will be rewarded! Kill, kill!"

As this order was conveyed to the front line, the soldiers on the north bank had no choice but to line up again and advance towards the plateau. Because he was worried that the enemy would send cavalry across the line to attack the battle formation and create chaos, Xue Guyan personally led a cavalry team as the vanguard. With the first two lines of defense of the Wei army broken, the cavalry team of the Qi army was able to advance a certain distance.

On the top of the plateau, Li Tai saw the soldiers of the Qi army forming a team to fight back again, and his eyes became more serious. He himself began to put on his armor and prepare for battle. At the same time, he waved his hand and ordered several prison cars that had been prepared for a long time to roll out of the battle formation. outside. Those imprisoned in the prison car were naturally a group of Jinzhou prisoners including Wei Can.

At this time, Xue Guyan had already led his team to the ashes of the second front line. He first ordered the knights to rein in their horses and wait for the soldiers in the rear infantry formation to advance. When he saw the enemy troops launching a few When they got out of the prison car, a look of suspicion suddenly appeared on their faces, and when they saw the faces of Lieutenant Can and others in the prison car clearly, their suspicions suddenly turned into shock.

Wei Can and others looked exhausted, and they were even more frightened when they were escorted to the battlefield. When they saw the flags and formations of the Qi army on the opposite side, this guy couldn't help shouting: "Save me, save me quickly. ! I am the king of Changle, Weican. Whoever can save me must be serious..."

Before he could finish what he said, the Wei army sergeant who was in charge of escorting him had already struck his ribs with a stick, causing him to swallow all the unfinished words in pain.

"Inform the officers and men of the Eastern Army that the army of the King of the Wei Dynasty has conquered Jinzhou and gone straight to Jinyang! The Duke of Tang sympathizes with the people and does not want to kill. He congratulates Liuhun for establishing the righteousness of the capital and attacking Erzhu. It can still be forgiven. Gaoyang, the evil son, has done nothing. World, you are committing an unforgivable crime by deceiving the heavens and destroying righteousness! If you abandon your weapons, you will live, if you follow the thieves, you will die. Come down quickly, come down quickly!"

The officers and soldiers of the Wei army who were responsible for escorting the prison van kept shouting down the slope in Xianbei dialect. At the same time, they kept beating Wei Can and other generals in the prison van with sticks, using the screams of these people to increase credibility and deterrence.

The soldiers of the Qi army down the slope were naturally surprised and confused after hearing this. The rest of this shouting may be negligible, but the words coming straight down to Jinyang can really arouse their sensitive nerves.

"Fake, all fake! If the thief goes straight to Jinyang, why bother fighting here? Don't be fooled by the thief's words, attack quickly!"

Xue Guyan suppressed the shock in his heart and shouted orders repeatedly.

To be honest, he was not sure whether what the enemy said was true or false, but from here he saw Wei Can and other Jinzhou personnel. In addition, the Wei army fighting here only numbered tens of thousands, which was completely incomparable to the previously rumored military strength. No., he was inevitably doubtful in his heart.

However, at this moment, he could only insist that what the enemy said was false to prevent the morale of the army from being shaken. At the same time, in order to prevent the enemy from revealing more shocking things, he hurriedly ordered the cavalry to attack quickly.

The elite cavalry of the Wei army, which had already been preparing for the attack, now galloped out of the battle formation and rushed towards the enemy cavalry approaching the prison car. At the same time, they shouted loudly: "The king's division has conquered Jinyang." , capture your prince, come down quickly without killing him!"

Soon the cavalry of both sides collided with each other. Although each other was injured, overall the advantage of the Wei army was more obvious. These soldiers had been recharging their strength. This was the moment when their physical strength and morale were at their strongest. Seriously, People feel unstoppable.

Several Wei army knights with strong arms even directly used their horses to lift enemy soldiers high off their horses. Even without considering the damage caused by their horses, they were lifted several feet away on the high-speed horses and then returned to the sky. After falling hard, his chances of survival were basically slim. After landing, his muscles and bones were broken and his orifices were bleeding.

Not only these ordinary cavalry, but the general Xue Guyan was once again targeted by the Wei army soldiers who were riding out. Several Wei army cavalry squads all galloped towards him in unison, including the man who was in the battle yesterday. The general of Wei who was chasing him with his head in his arms and running away.

"Yesterday the dog thief escaped in the middle of the battle, today he will kill you!"

This Wei general's name is Yu Wenxin. He is the second son of Yu Wengui, the Zhuguo of the Western Wei Dynasty. He has always been known for his ferocity and generosity. In this battle, he was sure to succeed in killing the enemy general. Yesterday, he failed to kill the enemy. Today, he failed to kill the enemy. Finally, when they went to battle, they pursued and killed them relentlessly.

Xue Guyan knew that this enemy general was brave, and the other Wei generals who came with him looked like they were no simple characters. They immediately retreated without engaging in fighting with the enemy.

It's not because he is timid. After being beaten by His Majesty the Emperor yesterday, he is quite generous and willing to die. However, now that he has the important task of commanding tens of thousands of soldiers in front of the battle, naturally he can no longer show off his courage and have any grudges with the enemy generals. fight.

"The thief will leave!"

Xue Guyan pulled away and retreated hastily, but the Wei army officers and soldiers did not intend to let him go. In addition to Yu Wenxin, Han Qinhu and several other young and strong generals were also pursuing him.

These people chased Xue Guyan all the way to the enemy's infantry formation. At this time, the soldiers of the Qi army were already weak in fighting spirit. They were first forced to return to the battlefield to fight again, and then were frightened by the shouts of Wei Can and other Jinzhou prisoners and the Wei army. He was shocked and confused. Now he was attacked by Wei Jun's fierce general on horseback. He immediately fled left and right and dispersed.

These Wei generals were like red-hot coals that fell into the snow, sand and ice. Everything they touched turned into nothingness. The long axes in their hands danced left and right, killing or injuring anyone whose blades touched them. They kept following them. Following Xue Guyan, he rushed into the enemy's formation more than ten feet deep.

Under the fierce pursuit, all the guards around Xue Guyan were quickly killed and injured. However, the soldiers in the infantry formation who broke up and fled around him did not have the determination to risk their lives to protect him. They just allowed Xue Guyan to The enemy troops fled in panic.

Finally, as the speed of Xue Guyan's mount slowed down, Yu Wenxin, who was chasing the most ferocious all the way, hit Xue Guyan hard on his back with his horse spear, causing all the armor plates to fly and deform. At the same time, Han Qinhu also rushed in from the rear. Seeing Xue Guyan dismounting from his horse, he chopped off his head with a single axe!
