Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 86 Gathering
Gao Cheng felt that he was already very careful, and he just planned to stay far behind, to see if he could find an opportunity to take advantage of.

This kind of practice is usually recorded as meritorious deportation, of course, it is actually a gift to leave the country.

This is not the first time he has been on the battlefield, but it is indeed the first time he has seen the habits of this group of state and county soldiers.

Hearing the war, he is timid, but looting is joyful.

This was something that Gao Huan's [-]-step cavalry did not have during the Battle of Han Ling.

Duan Shao and Murong Shaozong's 9000 men were scrambling for supplies. Now that the Liang people turned around and came to fight, it was difficult to reorganize their formation for a while. The Liang people were still far away, but the state and county soldiers fled back one after another.

Gao Aocao also seemed to have a premonition that a big defeat was coming, and the 5000 men under his command began to retreat in an orderly manner.

Gao Cheng was riding a horse, not a donkey cart. He was unwilling to accept failure and tried to struggle again.

Liang Ren was eager to turn around and fight, and his formation was also somewhat scattered. This gave Gao Cheng, who was trying to be calm, an opportunity.

"I suffered such a big defeat in the first battle. I have no face to see my father. Today's plan is to lead the guards to rush and kill them. Even if I die, I will not fall into the prestige of my Gao family!"

Gao Cheng shouted passionately, but his eyes were fixed on his confidant governor Gao Jishi:
"What's more, the Liang people are unprepared, so I have no chance of winning. When I am in danger, I will see a real hero. Zi Tong quickly retreated with my third uncle, and waited for me to return from the enemy."

How could Gao Ji's style stand up to such a fierce general like Gao Cheng.

"I also invite the governor to watch the battle later, so that the general will behead Chen Qingzhi for you!"

After all, he led the five hundred guards and rushed to the Wanliang army.

Gao Cheng immediately shouted behind Gao Jishi:

"Governor Gao personally cut off the empress, great! Magnificent!"

Before the voice fell, he reminded Yang Min and other officials:

"Follow me and shout for the High Commander!"

Then the crowd shouted in unison:

"Governor Gao personally cut off the empress, great! Magnificent!"

It attracted countless eyes of the Wei army, including Gao Aocao who was about to lead the army to retreat.

Gao Aocao looked at Gao Jishi, who was leading the charge with only five hundred riders, and was dizzy with shock, thinking that his good brother had gone crazy again.

Leading seven cavalrymen, they dared to chase down Er Zhuzhao's [-] to [-] troops who retreated calmly, and even chased too quickly, so they all met Er Zhuzhao face to face.

Now leading [-] cavalry to charge and kill more than [-] Liang people, Gao Jishi can really do this kind of thing.

Gao Aocao was impatient. The reason why he was going to retreat was because he didn't want to exchange his family fortune for the time for Murong Shaozong, Duan Shao and others to regroup.

But now it is still time to take into account the casualties of the trilogy, and the family property is exhausted, and the big deal is to go back to Hebei and recruit again.

If this younger brother is killed in battle, where will he go to find him again.

This is the tip of my heart that is more important than my own life!

Gao Aocao, together with Huyanzu, Liu Guizhen, Liu Changdi, Dongfanglao and others, led 2000 cavalrymen to flatter their horses and gallop to assist Gao Jishi in the battle. The pawns followed closely behind.

Gao Cheng couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when he saw Gao Ao Cao returning to the division to face off:

Sure enough, he was someone who was willing to give Gao Jishi his life in exchange for an official position.

Only Yang Min and other clerks were left around Gao Cheng, and he ordered people to raise a flag, and let the clerks blow their horns to attract the attention of the defeated soldiers, while he immediately yelled:

"Those who retreat without fighting will be guilty of crimes and family members! Come and gather under my banner quickly, and fight against the enemy together!"

The civil servants didn't need to remind him this time, they put down their horns and shouted after him.

Seeing the death of the Gao brothers, the fleeing state and county soldiers did not want to be chased and killed wantonly, or they were worried about harming their families, so they came to gather under Gaocheng's banner.

Except for the [-] Xianbei infantry recruited by Duan Shao, the [-] prefecture and county soldiers actually made Little Gao Wang gather again.

At this time, Gao Jishi successfully delayed Liang Ren's pursuit, but all the five hundred riders led by him were trapped in a tight siege.

Under the setting sun, Gao Aocao was burning with anxiety, his eyes fixed on Gao Jishi who was struggling to support in the encirclement.

He didn't even bother to look for the weak points of the Liang army, held up the iron spear, took the lead, and led two thousand cavalry into the enemy's formation.

"Third brother, why are you here!"

Gao Jishi was covered in injuries, and even had an arrow stuck in his arm. While he was out of breath, he was seven percent pleasantly surprised and three percent worried.

Now there are only a hundred or so people around him, rushing left and right with him, but they still can't get out.

When he was in despair, he saw Gao Aocao rushing into the formation.

"Don't talk too much, quickly follow me to break through!"

Before Gao Aocao had time to exchange greetings, he struck across with the iron spear in his hand, knocking off a Liang general who had rushed over.

Gao Jishi hurriedly followed, the sound of the exchange of weapons shook his eardrums, and the people in front turned their backs on their backs. He couldn't see the situation clearly, but he followed Gao Aocao and rushed to the periphery.

Outside Liang Jun's camp, Murong Shaozong and Duan Shao each had expressions of shame on their faces, Gao Cheng had no time to comfort him, he urgently asked Duan Shao:
"General Duan, can the Xianbei soldiers still fight?"

Upon hearing this, Duan Shao puffed out his chest and replied:
"Willing to fight to the death for the governor!"

"I ask you if you can still fight!"

"Can fight!"

"Duan Shao obeys!"

"The end is here!"

"I order you to lead two thousand soldiers from the headquarters to meet General Gao quickly."

"The last general takes orders!"

Duan Shao didn't dare to delay after getting the order, and immediately mobilized two thousand Xianbei infantry under his command to march.

Gao Cheng looked at Murong Shaozong and asked:
"General Murong, do you still have a guard under your command?"

Murong Shaozong hurriedly replied:

"There are still hundreds of guards."

"it is good!"

Gao Cheng applauded, and shouted to the routs gathered around him:
"The direction of the commander-in-chief, those who are afraid of the enemy and do not go ahead are not with me! Murong Shaozong, I order you to lead the guards to supervise the battle team. Anyone who does not agree with me will be killed, and the family members will be judged after the war!"

Murong Shaozong responded loudly:

"The last general takes orders."

Gao Cheng ordered the civil servants to hold the commander-in-chief's flag behind him, and rode up on his own. The gathered state and county soldiers, driven by the supervisory team, had no choice but to bite the bullet and rush towards the encirclement of Liang Jun.

Standing on a high place, Chen Qingzhi could see from a distance the three infantry of the Wei army, coming forward and backward.

Gao Ao Cao's [-] soldiers were the first, followed by Duan Shao's [-] Xianbei soldiers, and finally Gao Cheng's [-] to [-] prefecture soldiers.

Seeing that Gao Cheng remained calm when the infantry were fleeing, Chen Qingzhi couldn't help but sighed to his cronies:
"This son is by no means a conservative person. From then on, there will be troubles in the north and the south."

Chen Qingzhi was worried that his troops would be flanked by cavalry and infantry in the encirclement, so he ordered:
"Give me an order to let the thieves break out of the siege, and the whole army retreats from the siege."

Trumpets sounded and flags waved.

Sure enough, a hole in the encirclement was opened, and Gao Aocao took the opportunity to lead more than two thousand horses and rushed out.

Chen Qingzhi knew that the cavalry under Gao Cheng's command were exhausted and unable to pursue after this charge.

He can safely withdraw his troops and rescue Bai Goudui.

It's just a pity that the Wei army was about to flee, but was delayed by a 500-man cavalry.

As a result, Gao Cheng was able to gather the defeated soldiers calmly.

Sure enough, as Chen Qingzhi expected, Gao Cheng didn't want to pursue him anymore.

Lost [-] cavalry pawns, got a full camp of supplies.

Although Chen Qingzhi was forced to retreat, it did not cause many casualties.

He didn't know whether he won or lost this battle, maybe, he should have won, at least the strategic intention had been realized.

But Gao made it clear that strict military discipline was an urgent task. After returning to Luoyang, he was not in a hurry to force He Basheng to turn against him. He had to use this as an excuse to carry out a major rectification. He did not want to experience today's experience a second time.

Gao Cheng shifted his gaze to Xiangyang City.

In Xiangyang City, Hu Sichun, who was going to cooperate with Chen Qingzhi in attacking Gao Cheng, saw that Liang Jun had really retreated before he had time to gather his troops. He simply took advantage of the exhaustion of Gao Cheng's cavalry, abandoned Xiangyang, and headed south. Jingzhou and Dugu met as they wished.

　Don't rush to talk about poisonous points. In the last chapter, I specifically pointed out that Gao Aocao's Han army was not in chaos.

　　It is an old tradition for the Wei army to plunder, and I specifically said it in the last chapter, Gao Cheng only intends to hang around and look for opportunities.

　　Is it possible that when others withdraw in the future, they will send each other off in place?
　　Only when the troops were looted and the troops were defeated first could Gao Cheng rectify the whole army.

　　Thanks to the book friend Cong Cong for the reward
