Chapter 468: State and County Soldiers

This was a vicious battle that Gao Cheng expected.

It is no wonder that he despised the southern soldiers before the war, whether it was the Huainan battlefield or the Jianghan battlefield, the poor performance of the Southern Liang army made Gao Cheng leave a stereotype on them.

There is no doubt that in the process of defeating Li Ben and pacifying the rebellious army in Guangzhou, Chen Baxian did train an elite army, and its combat effectiveness was not inferior to the Hu and Han mixed Northern Qi infantry soldiers.

As the front army, the Gao Ji style department took the lead in engaging with the Chen army in short combat.

The Chen army was guarded by a chariot formation on three sides, leaving only a gap in front, and the pikemen were waiting for it, making it difficult for the Northern Qi cavalry to have a place to be brave, so they could only turn into archers and shoot at the archers of the Chen army in the array.

The Northern Qi soldiers, who had lost their cavalry superiority, could no longer destroy the enemy army as they had fought against the Liang army in the past.

They fell into a bitter battle that they had never experienced before, and even though Gao Jishi personally led the army into battle, they were hindered by the tenacious Chen army.

Pulling out the horse lance that had been stabbed into the chest of a Sergeant Chen, Gao Ji scolded:

"Straight sissy thief! This group of southerners is actually not afraid of death! ”

The contempt and prejudice against the southern soldiers is not just Cui Che, but the consensus within the entire Northern Qi army, and anyone who has fought with the Southern Liang for so many years will also fall into the trap of thinking.

Gao Cheng arranged his troops this time and used Wu Ming's troops as a backup, but he was also worried about the so-called elite combat effectiveness of the front beam under his command, and was worried that they would cause chaos for him and drag him back.

Fortunately, although the soldiers of the Northern Qi Dynasty have been fighting against the wind in recent years, they are not lacking in resilience under the physical training that Gao Cheng has always emphasized.

On the battlefield, there has long been no rules, and it is no longer a row of soldiers fighting in rows, but turning into a chaotic battle, with flesh and blood flying.

The pikemen, axemen, spearmen, sword and shield soldiers, and many other arms in the two armies, each with their own abilities, their only purpose is to kill the enemy in front of them.

And the enemy army in front of him fell, and there was no time to catch his breath, and a new enemy rushed in front of him.

Blood flowed uncontrollably, staining the land outside Panyu City.

The wails and screams resounded across the field regardless of faction.

In this battle, Gao Ji's troops suffered heavy casualties, and the fight was extremely difficult, and he secretly cursed in his heart, if Duan Shao's army did not press him again, he would have to stab him in a few holes after the war.

Gao Jishi gritted his teeth and insisted, and Chen Baxian was also frightened.

The 30,000 former troops who are now engaged in the battle with the Qi army are the expansion of the 3,000 descendants he started.

Although the command is claimed to be 100,000, only these 30,000 can really come in handy.

Gao Cheng sits on Hebei, Central Plains, Guanlong, Lianghuai, Jianghan, Jiangnan and other places, and has only raised nearly 400,000 elites.

And the combat effectiveness of the state and county soldiers is known to the whole world, and they are more suitable for the existence of the battlefield atmosphere group, so it may be okay to let these people shrink in the big formation and shoot against the Qi army.

But if you really want to wear armor and stick to it, you can fight the enemy in close quarters, and if you have a slight setback, the whole army will be defeated.

On the other side of the battle, Gao Cheng invested in all the real Northern Qi soldiers, and even Wu Mingche, who was not in good condition, was left behind as a backup.

Chen Baxian saw that the morale of the former army that could be relied on was weakened due to huge casualties, and he finally handed over the command to his nephew Chen Qian regardless of his identity, and went to the front line to fight the enemy in person.

The soldiers of the Chen army saw that the Son of Heaven was the first to fight, fighting side by side with everyone, and their morale rose rapidly.

Such a move is impossible for the Northern Qi side to appear, Gao Cheng and Chen Baxian are from different backgrounds, even if Xiao Gao Wang always boasts of today's achievements, it is his own efforts, and it has nothing to do with the dog father Gao Huan.

But as we all know, without Gao Huan jumping left and right and saving a lot of money, how could Gao Cheng be so smooth.

And Chen Ba was born in the real end, and to be able to have today, it was all a knife and a gun.

King Xiao Gao can't sit down, but Chen Baxian can fight with his life.

Now the morale of the Chen army is high because of Chen Baxian's actions, and correspondingly, the front army of the Northern Qi Dynasty has fallen into a decline, and just when Gao Ji is looking forward to penetrating, Duan Shao finally ordered the Chinese army to advance.

At the same time, he sent a fast horse to send a message to Gao Jishi, ordering his troops to retreat.

Gao Ji style was ordered to retreat, but Chen Baxian did not chase, Hu Luguang led 30,000 cavalry to the side, if he went out to chase and kill Gao Ji's department, there was no protection of the car formation, and the cavalry of the Northern Qi Dynasty was not stingy to rush into battle to test the quality of Chen Jun.

And if it is a formation chasing, how can it catch up with the retreating Northern Qi front army.

Chen Jun, who had been exhausted before, was forced to retreat from Gao Ji because Chen Baxian boosted morale and stimulated potential.

But Gao Ji's leading army retreated, and the well-organized Northern Qi Central Army approached again, and a sense of powerlessness surged into my heart.

Playing chicken blood can eliminate fatigue for a while, but after the momentum passes, the fatigue in the body comes again, and no matter how Chen Baxian motivates, it is difficult to boost the morale of the soldiers again.

As a last resort, he could only let the front army retreat for a short rest, and use the Chinese army to step forward to deal with the impact of the Chinese army in the Northern Qi Dynasty.

But as said before, because Gao Jishi, Hu Luguang, Duan Shao, and Wu Mingche each led 50,000 military counselors, excluding Wu Mingche's department, Gao Cheng was able to call 150,000 elite infantry soldiers and 30,000 cavalry soldiers in this decisive battle, while Chen's army only had 30,000 elites.

Duan Shao saw this, and he was not in a hurry to press the whole army in this battle, but first attacked with Gao Ji's headquarters.

If the Chen army takes the state and county soldiers as the front army, it will naturally be easily torn apart.

And if Chen Baxian is the elite army, he can also wear down the elite of the Chen army, even if Gao Ji is defeated, in the case of the Chinese army, it will not be affected, and the elite of the Chen army must be exhausted.

This is the safest way, commanding the decisive battle of nearly 200,000 troops, Gao Cheng is naturally the new daughter-in-law in the sedan chair, where did Duan Shao come from.

Now Chen Junzhou's county soldiers are facing the elite of the Northern Qi Chinese Army, and their combat effectiveness does not live up to the name of the state and county soldiers.

Not to mention that it will collapse at the first touch, but compared with the previous elite of the Chen army, it is really not enough.

The state and county soldiers could not fight for a long time, and they could not fight viciously, and under the persecution of the Chinese army of the Northern Qi Dynasty, they broke up one after another, but broke up their formation.

This is also the reason why Gao Cheng never used the state and county soldiers as a field corps, this group of people can't help much, but they are good at causing chaos.

The escape of Chen's army caused the whole army to disperse, and everyone climbed over the chariot formation and wanted to flee back to Panyu City, but Hu Luguang had already led the cavalry to cut off their way back to the city.

Surrender was like a plague that soon spread among Chen's army.

"Uncle, let's go! Where there is life, there is hope! ”

Chen Qian tugged on Chen Baxian's sleeve and persuaded bitterly.

"How can there be any green mountains, not to mention whether you can get away with it, even if you go to Shudi, it is just a fence for a long time."

Chen Baxian sighed.
