Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 323
When Gao Huan learned that Yu Wentai was pulling out his camp, he did not return to the army, but marched eastward. He immediately attracted everyone's discussion. At first, Gao Cheng was puzzled by Yu Wentai's intentions, but after ruling out all possibilities, the only remaining option, no matter how many Bizarre, will be the final answer.

From Yuwentai's standpoint, there was chaos in the rear, and if he returned to rescue, the enemy would definitely follow him. Gao Huan indeed sent Xue Yangu to the west to lie in ambush on Yuwentai's way back, waiting for him to turn back and attack back and forth.

If there is a decisive battle with him, but the Eastern Wei avoids the battle, he can't attack the camp by force, and can only force the Eastern Wei out of the camp.

Since the battlefield is in Guanzhong, apart from Puban, there is no other option that can make Gao's father and son restless.

In the original time and space, during the period of confrontation between East and West, there used to be a very interesting activity, that is, digging ice in winter.

In the early days of the separation of the two Weis, the east was strong and the west was weak. Every winter, the soldiers of the Western Wei would dig open the ice of the Yellow River to prevent the Eastern Wei from attacking.

During the Northern Qi and Northern Zhou Dynasties, the situation changed, the west was strong and the east was weak, so the soldiers of the Northern Qi went to the Yellow River every winter to dig ice to prevent the Northern Zhou from invading.

Once Yu Wentai is really allowed to go east smoothly, dig ice in the Yellow River, burn down the pontoon bridge, and block the way back. Hedong and Hebei are the foundations of the Gao family, and now it is the emptiest time in ten years. He really succeeded and occupied the two rivers. Changing family with the Gao family in this area, what joy will the Gao family father and son have in this dilapidated pass.

Gao Cheng was not the only one who saw through this point. Gao Huan and some of his staff also noticed the hidden crisis. After discussing with the generals, Gao Huan immediately sent people to chase Xue Yangu back, trying to lead the army to stop Yu Wentai and fight him in Hexi.

The generals had already been gearing up for the fight, and the previous avoidance of the Eastern Wei Dynasty was nothing more than Gao Cheng's hope to use the news of the surrender and rebellion to cause the Western Wei and Southern Liang allied forces to rebel before the battle, not because the soldiers were afraid.

After receiving Gao Huan's military order, all the generals mobilized their troops one after another to follow him out of camp and chase Yu Wentai away.

Gao Cheng gathered [-] cavalrymen from all parts of the Gyeonggi Army, and Gao Aocao and Hu Luguang divided them up to slow down Yu Wentai's march, while he led Hou Yuan, Liu Feng, and the remaining [-] cavalry from the Gyeonggi Army. , and his cronies all had a thousand soldiers as the vanguard to clear the way for Gao Huan's army.

Xue Guyan received Gao Huan's order and immediately led his troops to pursue the large army. Gao Aocao and Hu Luguang also caught up with Yu Wentai at the intersection of Luohe and Weishui, and fought with his fine cavalry, causing mutual casualties.

Yu Wentai saw Gao's cavalry chasing after him, and sentry cavalry reported that there was an Eastern Wei army trailing across the river in Weibei, so he stopped immediately and ordered his troops to form a formation, waiting for the Eastern Wei army to come after them, and wanted to fight a decisive battle here.

As the vanguard, Gao Cheng appeared first. He crossed the Wei River to the south and stopped only a few miles away from Yuwentai. He was covered by Hu Luguang and Gao Aocao's elite cavalry, waiting for Gao Huan's army behind him.

Yu Wentai on the opposite side was not seduced by Gao Cheng's lone army. The soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty leaned against Xitong Pass and stood ready.

Since Tongguan was captured by the Eastern Wei Dynasty, Yu Wentai rebuilt a new pass at the location of Tangtong Pass in later generations, that is, Xitong Pass.

Soon, apart from the [-] Xianbei soldiers guarding Huayin with Hu Lujin, all the tribes of the Eastern Wei Dynasty crossed the Wei River from the ice one after another, and confronted each other in the Western Wei Dynasty.

In the Eastern Wei Dynasty, there were 17 people under Gao Huan's command in Bingzhou Hu, and 6000 people under Gao Cheng's command, a total of 20 people.

The Western Wei Dynasty had 8000 main forces of the six armies, 19 state and county soldiers, and 8000 Shu soldiers under Xiao Ji's command, a total of [-] people.

At the confluence of the Weishui River and the Luohe River, the two sides have a total of more than 40 soldiers and horses. The chariots and horses are spread out, and the head and tail hang far away. A big battle is about to start.

Before the war, the Eastern Wei Dynasty had already made preparations for the confrontation between the two armies on the frontal battlefield. Even this was their battle plan. The so-called incitement to surrender was just trying to gain an advantage.

For this reason, Gao Cheng also formulated corresponding tactics, that is, stormed Zhao Gui's army formation.

After Yu Wentai reformed the military system, he established the eight-pillar system. Except for himself and the clan Guangling Wang Yuanxin who was pulled out to set up a memorial archway and did not intervene in military power, the other six pillar kingdom generals Zhao Gui, Li Hu, Li Bi, Yu Jin, Duguxin, Houmo and Chenchong each lead an army, each with 8000 people, which is the main six armies of the Western Wei Dynasty.

As the mainstay of the independent unified army, Zhao Gui's military talent is obviously not worth mentioning compared to his vision of standing in line.

Whether it was being expelled from Qinzhou by Ke Zhu Hunyuan before, or the Heqiao battle and the Mangshan battle, there are descriptions of Zhao Gui's hip-pull performance on the battlefield.

As the general of the Western Wei Dynasty who first advocated welcoming Yuwentai, Zhao Gui's loyalty is unquestionable, but his tenacity on the battlefield cannot be compared with his colleagues at all.

Unlike in TV dramas, when the two armies confront each other, it is not that the whole army presses down and rushes towards the opponent with their heads covered.

Instead, small groups of troops were constantly dispatched to fight each other in the open space of several miles between the two armies.

The two sides fought for more than ten rounds, from the high day of the day to the sunset, each other won and lost.

And Gao Cheng also ordered people to keep searching for the location of Zhao Gui's people during the small-scale battle between the two sides.

Although all ministries have general flags, no one can see clearly what words are embroidered on the flags even if they are miles away.

Gao Huan was beheaded in the Battle of Mangshan because a soldier of the Eastern Wei Dynasty violated the military law. In order to avoid punishment, he switched to the Western Wei Dynasty and revealed Gao Huan's location to Yu Wentai.

Generally speaking, unless it is too ostentatious on the battlefield, it is difficult to find the specific location even if the two armies face each other.

Gao Aocao has always looked down on Yuwentai, um, or he looked down on everyone except Gao's father and son.

Originally wanted to erect banners and umbrellas, but was stopped by Gao Cheng. This behavior is tantamount to opening up position sharing on the battlefield. Even if the enemy’s beheading action is not incurred, a rain of arrows hits, and bad luck will be lost. The possibility of shooting to death was a lesson learned by Yin Xiaozu, a general of the Southern Song Dynasty.

The two sides sent out a small group of troops to fight fiercely. After exhaustion, both sides retreated one after another. Gao Cheng immediately found Hu Luguang who had retreated into the formation. He was the one who commanded the Gyeonggi Army to fight against the enemy.

Gao Cheng couldn't wait to ask:
"Have you found Zhao Gui's location?"

The reason why Gao Cheng sent him to fight was precisely because Hu Luguang was known as the governor of Luo Diao, and his eyes were naturally sharp. Gao Cheng told him not to worry about the outcome, but to pay attention to the position of Zhao Gui in the Western Wei Dynasty during the chaotic battle.

As expected, Hu Luguang did not disappoint Gao Cheng, he replied firmly:
"In the enemy's left army."

When Gao Cheng heard the news, he immediately rode his horse and shuttled through the formation, intending to find Gao Huan and inform him of the news.

At the same time, Da Xiwu, the general of the Western Wei Dynasty who had just fought against Hu Luguang, was also reporting the information he had observed to Yu Wentai.

It turned out that both sides were using small groups of troops to fight fiercely to test and observe the enemy's weaknesses.

After all, the sentry cavalry of the two armies are not for nothing. It is impossible for them to have already set up battles, and they can still let the other side touch them and observe them closely.

　I only wrote 8.9 words today, and I really stretched my hips, 21w/21w, and there is still a big gap from the goal of [-] words this month. I will sleep first today, so I won’t stay up all night. Take a good rest and write tomorrow .
