Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 471

This was a fierce battle beyond Gao Cheng's expectations.

It is no wonder that he underestimated the southern soldiers before the battle. Whether it was the Huainan battlefield or the Jianghan battlefield, the poor performance of the Nanliang army made Gao Cheng stereotype them.

Undoubtedly, in the process of defeating Li Ben and quelling the chaos in Guangzhou, Chen Baxian did train an elite soldier, whose combat effectiveness was not inferior to the Hu and Han mixed Northern Qi infantry.

As the former army, Gao Ji Shibu took the lead in meeting Chen Jun hand-to-hand.

Chen Jun was guarded by chariot formations on three sides, leaving only a gap in front. The spearmen were waiting in full force, making it difficult for the Northern Qi cavalry to be brave.

The soldiers of the Northern Qi Dynasty, who had lost the advantage of cavalry, could no longer destroy the enemy army as they did in the past when they fought against the Liang army.

They fell into an unprecedented bitter battle. Even though Gao Jishi personally led the army, they were blocked by the tenacious Chen Jun.

Withdrawing the horse that had stabbed into the chest of a soldier of Chen, Gao Ji cursed:

"Straight mother thief! This group of southerners are not afraid of death!"

Cui Che's contempt and prejudice against the soldiers in the south was not limited to Cui Che alone, but the consensus within the entire Northern Qi army. Anyone who has fought against Nanliang for so many years will also fall into a thinking trap.

Gao Cheng deployed his troops this time, using Wu Mingche's troops as a backup, because he was also worried about the combat effectiveness of the so-called elites under his command, and worried that they would add chaos to him and drag him down.

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

On the battlefield, there has been no rules for a long time. It is no longer a row of various arms fighting, but a chaotic battle, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

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

But the enemy army in front of him fell down, and before he had time to catch his breath, a new enemy rushed up in front of him.

Blood flowed wantonly, staining the land outside Panyu red.

The sounds of wailing and screaming resounded across the wilderness regardless of camp.

In this battle, Gao Jishi's troops suffered heavy casualties and fought extremely hard. He cursed in his heart, if Duan Shao's army did not press up again, he would have to stab him a few holes after the battle.

Gao Jishi gritted his teeth and persisted, while Chen Baxian was also terrified.

The [-] former army that is now fighting with the Qi army is the expansion of the [-] descendants of his family.

Although it is said that there are 3 people under his command, there are only [-] people who can really come in handy.

Gao Cheng is located in Hebei, Central Plains, Guanlong, Lianghuai, Jianghan, Jiangnan and other places, and only raised nearly 40 elite soldiers. Chen Baxian only took Lingnan alone, how could he support 7 elite soldiers, and the remaining [-] people It is the nature of state and county soldiers.

The fighting power of the state and county soldiers is well known in the world, and they are more suitable for the existence of the battlefield atmosphere group. It may be okay for these people to shrink in a large formation and shoot at the Qi army.

But if you really want to put on your armor and fight the enemy in close combat, if there is a slight setback, the whole army will be defeated.

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

Chen Baxian saw that the morale of the former army that he could rely on was weakened due to huge casualties. He finally disregarded his status and handed over the command to his nephew Chen Qian, and went to the front to fight the enemy himself.

The generals of the Chen army saw that the emperor took the lead and fought side by side with everyone, and their morale rose rapidly.

Such a move was impossible for the Northern Qi side. Gao Cheng and Chen Baxian had different backgrounds. Even though Little Gao Wang always boasted that he had achieved what he is today, it was all his own efforts and had nothing to do with his dog father Gao Huan.

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

As for Chen Baxian, he really came from a humble background, and he was able to get to where he is today, all thanks to single-handedly fighting.

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

Now Chen Jun's morale is high due to Chen Baxian's actions, and correspondingly, the former Northern Qi army has fallen into a decline. Just when Gao Jishi was about to see through, 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 Jishi was ordered to retreat, but Chen Baxian did not chase after him. Hu Luguang led [-] cavalry pawns and stared at him. If he went out to chase Gao Jishi's troops, without the protection of the chariot formation, the Northern Qi cavalry would not hesitate to charge , to test Chen Jun's fineness.

And if they form an formation to chase, how can they catch up with the retreating Northern Qi army.

Chen Jun, who was already exhausted before, was forced to retreat Gao Jishi because Chen Ba first boosted his morale and stimulated his potential.

But Gao Jishi's army retreated, and the Northern Qi's central army approached again, and a sense of powerlessness came to mind.

Beating chicken blood can relieve fatigue for a while, but after the energy is over, the physical fatigue will come again. No matter how motivated Chen Baxian is, it will be difficult to boost the morale of the soldiers again.

As a last resort, he could only let the front army retreat to rest for a while, and use the Chinese army to step forward to deal with the attack of the Northern Qi central army.

But as mentioned before, since Gao Jishi, Hu Luguang, Duan Shao, and Wu Mingche each led 15 military counselors, except for Wu Mingche's department, Gao Cheng could mobilize [-] elite infantry and [-] cavalry in this decisive battle, while Chen Jun There are only [-] elites.

Duan Shao was sure of this point. In this battle, he was not in a hurry to overwhelm the whole army, but first attacked with Gao Ji's troops.

If Chen Jun used the state and county soldiers as the front army, the gap would naturally be easily torn open.

And if Chen Baxian used the elite soldiers as the front army, he could also wear down the elite Chen army. Even if Gao Jishi was defeated, he would not be affected when the Chinese army was at leisure, and the elite Chen army must be exhausted.

This is the safest way, commanding a decisive battle with an army of nearly 20, Gao Cheng is naturally the new wife in the sedan chair, so where does Duan Shao have experience.

Now Chen Jun's prefectural and county soldiers are facing off against the elite of the Northern Qi Central Army, and their combat effectiveness is worthy of the name of the prefectural and county soldiers.

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

The state and county soldiers could not fight for a long time, and they could not fight fiercely. Under the pressure of the Northern Qi Central Army, they broke up one after another, and instead 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 adding chaos is a good hand.

The fleeing of Chen Jun's middle army caused the collapse of the whole army. Everyone jumped over the chariots one after another, trying to escape 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, and soon spread among Chen Jun.

"Uncle, let's go! If you keep the green hills, you don't have to worry about running out of firewood!"

Chen Qian tugged on Chen Baxian's sleeve and tried to persuade him.

"There is no such thing as a green mountain, let alone whether you can escape, even if you go to Shu, you will just live under the fence of others, lingering on your last breath."

Chen Baxian sighed.
