Gao Zhiping had different thoughts from Gao Fang, he was holding back his breath towards the Ming Army in his heart, the so-called youth and vigor were like this.

He immediately ordered 30,000 "farmer" soldiers to attack the Duan army that swam across the river.

And he himself led 6,000 private soldiers with bows and crossbows to block and cover.

There was nothing wrong with this decision, and it should even be the right way to deal with it.

The formation of a strong wall of flesh with 30,000 soldiers, and then the covering fire by 6,000 crossbowmen, undoubtedly made it difficult for the 10,000 Duan troops who were to land on the shore to cross the thunder pond.

But Gao Zhiping did not take into account the 30,000 "farmer" soldiers in front of him, which could by no means be compared with the regular army.

They are untrained and are not even familiar with the most basic obedience to orders.

These people can only be used on a large area of charge, and there is no need to give them any tasks, as long as they charge towards a destination, so that these people are dutiful, and they will rush there in a swarm.

But the premise is that there is no strong resistance, and if there is stubborn resistance, then these people will fall back the same way at a faster pace.

It can be responsibly said that they must have run faster than they charged when they retreated.

It is undoubtedly difficult for such a group of "soldiers" to hard-resist the assault of 10,000 regular troops.

But fortunately, there were three times the number of Duan's army attacking, and there were 6,000 crossbowmen to suppress the formation, so the battle situation at the beginning was as Gao Zhiping expected, and the offensive momentum of Duan's army was immediately suppressed.

These "farmer" soldiers, seeing that their numbers were significantly higher than the enemy's, were still very brave in "fighting". Although they are not good at slashing and stabbing with swords, this does not prevent them from rushing forward, grasping with their hands and biting with their teeth.

Punched the old man to death. With the tactics of these fighting in the market and the intensive shooting of the six thousand crossbowmen behind them, the Duan army could not find an effective way to break through for a while.

In just half an hour, the 10,000 Duan troops who participated in the attack lost more than 20% of their soldiers.

This made the generals of the Duan army on the other side of the river anxious, and they kept withdrawing from Baili Kangjian, so that the 20,000 soldiers who had completed the purge went into battle.

The 20,000 soldiers were actually just recruited from the civilian population, just like the 30,000 "farmer" soldiers on the other side.

In the eyes of the generals, since it is sent to death. It's better to let these cannon fodder go, there are not many regular troops in Dali, and some seeds need to be kept.

But all the buildings were rejected by Bailikang.

Brilikang knows. If it is withdrawn at this time, it is likely that the 10,000 troops will be wiped out.

Although it is not easy to land, after landing and landing, it is necessary to return to the river from the river beach and withdraw to the river. This is even more difficult and dangerous than landing.

Today is different from yesterday when Bai Likang led 3,000 Ming troops to drive more than 10,000 enemy troops down the river. Because at that time, the enemy occupied the initiative on the battlefield, and Duan's army was no longer able to effectively control the river beach with crossbowmen.

And now, the dense bows and crossbows and arrows of the Gao army are enveloping the entire river beach, at this time they can only advance but not retreat, and a retreat is a rout, if the enemy who is fighting hand-to-hand is tending to counter-charge, then. These 10,000 pioneers will surely be wiped out.

Barricon waited quietly, he was waiting for the right moment.

Just like in the battle of Xiangxiang - Liling. He could sit back and watch the Black Flag Guard annihilate without moving.

But the situation today is a little different than it was then.

At that time, the Black Flag Guard soldiers who had been trained for a long time and had a tradition of shedding the last drop of blood were used as "cannon fodder" by Bailikang, even if they knew that they were sent to death, those soldiers would try their best to fight for one and save one.

But the soldiers on the other side are different, although they are not a grade stronger than the "farmer" soldiers, but the will to fight cannot be compared with the original Black Flag Guard soldiers.

Seeing that there was no hope of breaking through, the soldiers of the Duan Clan Army obviously hesitated, just like these Duan Army generals on the other side of Bailikang, they began to hesitate.

It is quite dangerous to hesitate at this juncture.

Gao Zhiping seized the moment of hesitation of Duan's army, ordered 30,000 "farmer" soldiers to counterattack with all their might, and shouted the slogan of driving the enemy down the Lancang River and rewarding each of them with ten taels of silver.

Ten taels of silver, according to Dali's consumption level, is enough for a family of four for two years.

Under this bewilderment, the "farmer" soldiers began to go berserk.

In fact, from the moment when the soldiers of the Duan Army hesitated, the "farmer" soldiers had obviously felt that the pressure had been reduced.

The soldiers on the front line felt the most clearly, and their morale was declining.

At this time, Gao Zhiping obviously shouted with a confused inciting slogan, and it is conceivable that the Duan army, which was originally the attacker, automatically switched to the defense from this moment.

Behind it is the Lancang River, although the retreat has not been cut off, but in this case, the Duan army, which should have been fighting against the water to inspire the soldiers to attack and break through, chose to turn to the defense, which is undoubtedly self-defeating.

As soon as he switched to the defense, his morale instantly relaxed, and the battlefield shape was immediately reversed, and Duan's army was completely in a situation of being passively beaten on the river beach.

If no more reinforcements are sent, it is only a matter of time before the entire army is wiped out.

The generals of the Duan army on the east bank were no longer anxious, but privately contacted and prepared to deprive Bailikang of his command.

It is one thing to return to the Ming Kingdom, but it is another thing to sit back and watch the 10,000 regular troops annihilated.

Without these 10,000 regular troops, these generals are all commanders of the light pole, not only can they not explain to Duan Sicong, but how can they rely on this army to gain a foothold in the Ming army in the future?

The generals began to gather, they didn't want to hurt Bailikang, they just wanted to regain command, or as long as Bailikang ordered the withdrawal of the 10,000 regular troops back, they were still willing to follow Bailikang's orders.

Bai Likang noticed this abnormality, but he turned a blind eye to it, with three thousand Ming troops around him, he didn't have to worry about anything.

At this time, the situation on the other side of the strait began to change.

This came from a faint move by Gao Zhiping.

Originally, the Duan army, suppressed by the strong attack of the "farmer" soldiers, had retreated step by step, unable to organize a counterattack, until it was behind the Lancang River, and had to resist, but this was only barely maintained.

The balance of the battlefield was already tilting in favor of Gao's army, but at this time, Gao Zhiping made a faint move.

It's a faint trick, but it's also reasonable.

Gao Zhiping saw that the victory was in his hands, but when the Duan army finally approached the river, he held on, and at this moment, Gao Zhiping did not think about it for a while, but ordered to shoot indiscriminately.

In fact, on the battlefield, such indiscriminate massacres are common, but no one talks about them afterwards.

Especially when the weak are strong against the strong, such indiscriminate slaughter is often a last resort.

For example, what if a hundred of your own people are besieged by 300, or even 500 enemies, and you can't save them? (To be continued......)
