On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 407
The Sui army attacking the mountain in the south had retreated. They didn't know the rebellion broke out in the Sui battalion north of Gaobiling. They just saw that Yang Su didn't launch the attack together as agreed, and they realized that the situation had changed, so they didn't continue the night battle.

Li Jing was quite puzzled by this. When he found Mai Tiezhang, he knew that there had been a civil strife in the Lingbei Sui army.

This unexpected turn of events gave them hope.

Not only Mai Tiezhang and Li Jing, but also the remaining less than [-] defenders on Gaobi Ridge were also encouraged:

Yes, we have indeed reached the end of the mountain, but how much better can the Sui army at the foot of the mountain be? Their situation is even worse than ours, otherwise how could there be a mutiny.

That night, Yang Su did not follow the plan and continued to force the soldiers to attack the mountain at night.

He told the Sui army to rest for a while and get a good night's sleep. When they recover tomorrow, it will not be too late to fight again.

What Yang Su didn't expect was that a bigger riot broke out at night.

Due to the brutal methods of Yang Suzhi's army, soldiers always have the will to die when they fight.

Although this behavior can make the soldiers under his command fight desperately, it also keeps them in a state of high mental tension and high pressure for a long time.

In the past, whether it was beheading soldiers who retreated without authorization, or a 3000-man attacking army mutiny, all were executed, and the huge casualties caused by the attack on Gaobiling these days also included the current situation of starvation.

Under the combined effect of these factors, the soldiers of the Sui Army have also reached the critical point of collapse.

A tsunami broke out in the early morning of the 605th day of the first lunar month in the first year of Daye (AD [-]).

Ying Xiao, also known as bombing the camp or startling the camp, is an abnormal behavior in which all soldiers act blindly without receiving any instructions when the army sleeps overnight.

Since modern times, due to more attention paid to the humanistic care of soldiers, the phenomenon of battalion tsunami has completely disappeared, but the last large-scale battalion tsunami in the world also came from China.

The father of the star Qin Han, the famous parachutist Sun Yuanliang led the 15th Corps to break through in the Battle of Huaihai.

The 8 troops (some say 4) were basically unscathed during the breakout, but only 400 were left after the breakout, not because of how fierce the battle was.

But during the breakout process, the soldiers had a nervous breakdown and suddenly killed each other at night. 8 people disappeared overnight, and only 400 remained in the end.

The mental oppression faced by the Sui Army today is far better than that of the 15th Corps.

After all, Sun Yuanliang only had the ability to rape patriotic female students on the front line of the Anti-Japanese War, while Yang Su killed people by hundreds or thousands.

In the early hours of the morning, in the Sui Army camp, it was unknown which one was the first to scream, which completely detonated the hysterical and crazy atmosphere of the Sui Army soldiers.

Countless people screamed and screamed in the middle of the night, and military discipline could no longer restrain them. They took up weapons and instinctively waved at everyone around them.

This bombing of the camp was not like Zhou Yafu, the famous general of the Western Han Dynasty, who allowed the soldiers to kill each other and could not calm down by himself.

More than [-] Sui soldiers were so red-eyed that they no longer had any reason to speak of.

Yang Su had already been awakened. No matter how he shouted, he tried to bring the soldiers back to their senses, but these were all in vain. Instead, he exposed his position and attracted a large number of soldiers to chase him down.

Undoubtedly, the broken soldiers clearly remembered the resentment towards Yang Su.

Yang Su didn't dare to stay in Lingbei, so she hurriedly brought her personal guards, and they fled to Huoshan Trail holding torches.

However, Yu Zhongwen, Yang Yichen and other generals could not wake up the Sui army soldiers who had fallen into madness, and fled into the Huoshan trail one after another.

The shouts, screams, and howls from the foot of the mountain screamed all night.

Li Jing and Mai Tiezhang were also frightened at first, thinking that the Sui army was attacking suddenly again. It was only with the help of fire and moonlight that they discovered the Sui army's camp roar.

But Li Jing, Mai Tiezhang and others didn't dare to take the opportunity to kill down the mountain. There are more than [-] crazy Sui troops at the foot of the mountain. I have less than [-] defenders. If I rush down the high wall, it's not enough for those lunatics to stuff their teeth.

After a night of fighting, dawn came again.

When Cui Che got the news, he led the army through Shuque Valley, and when they arrived, they saw corpses all over the ground under the high wall mountain. There were more than a hundred thousand soldiers, only a few thousand Sui soldiers were left stunned in the sea of ​​corpses and blood.

Except for Yang Su and other generals and their personal guards, not all the Sui troops died under the Gaobi Mountains, and many people fled through Qianlijing and Tongjunchuan.

But Cui Che knew that without supplies, those people would be no different from being dead.

In particular, Tongjunchuan is a remote mountain road that can be walked when Shuque Valley is impassable.

There is no food, and you have to detour on the mountain road. How can it be so easy to survive.

The thousands of surviving Sui troops seemed to have been emptied of their souls after a brutal killing of each other, and they were decadently at the mercy of the Yan army.

Fortunately, Cui Che did not embarrass these people, but sent someone to take them to Xihe County for temporary resettlement.

Compared with these Sui troops, the soldiers who stood firm on the Gaobi Ridge deserved more Cui Che's concern.

When Cui Che climbed up the Gaobi Ridge and saw the [-] soldiers covered in wounds, he said in fluent Khitan language:
"It was you who captured the east of the river for me, I will never forget your contribution, and there will be great rewards after the war!
"For the soldiers who died in battle, I will take care of their orphans, and the pensions they deserved will be distributed to their families!"

With Cui Che's promise, the [-] defenders all felt that their hard work was not in vain. They shouted "Long Live the King", embraced each other warmly, and felt the joy of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe.

And Yang Su, who fled to the south of Gaobiling via the Huoshan Trail, also deeply felt that he had narrowly escaped death.

In order to support the offensive in the south, [-] soldiers had come to the south of Gaobiling via the Huoshan trail, so Yang Su quickly came to the camp and took over the command.

Duan Wenzhen, the veteran general who commanded the Sui army in the south, persuaded:

"Marshal, the morale of the army is completely weakened, and the army in the south is exhausted from attacking the mountain for days.

"Cui Che is recharging his energy outside Shuque Valley, if he goes south via Gaobi Ridge, how can we resist him!

"I also ask the Marshal to return to Kansai and save these tens of thousands of elite soldiers for the saint, so don't fight for a while."

In fact, without Duan Wenzhen's persuasion, Yang Su also knew that his defeat was irreversible.

The story of the camp Xiao in the north has already spread, and I only have less than [-] fearsome soldiers on hand, how can I compete with Cui Che.

It's impossible to stay here in the east of the river.

Fortunately, there was no shortage of food in the camp in the south, so Yang Su immediately led the army southward, and along the way joined the soldiers who had been dispatched to besiege the city.

When he left Hedong via Puban, his subordinates actually reached 6 people.

Of course, these are all things to follow.

Cui Che heard that Yang Su had withdrawn, so he did not continue to pursue, but was busy taking over the cities south of the river.

Some cities were captured by Yang Su and abandoned when the army retreated, and some cities were held by Yang Liang's troops to this day.
