Chapter 3609
If Wei Zhengju is still there, Liu Gang can find an excuse to leave. Anyway, he does not know everything about military affairs, and it is not a big deal to have Wei Zhengju, a dazzling child of Jingzhao Weishi in recent years. On him he fled.
But now Wei Zhengju is actually one step ahead of him, shirking the responsibility of guarding the Baqiao completely on his head, but he can't leave if he wants to.
As soon as he leaves, the [-]-strong army is bound to disperse in a rush. At that time, the Youtun guards will capture Baqiao without bloodshed, not only intimidating Chang'an, but also cutting off the important communication channel between Guanlong and the outside world. Changsun Wuji is bound to be held accountable. How can he escape punishment?
In my heart, I greeted the eighteenth generation of Wei Zhengju's ancestors, but there was nothing I could do. That bastard's legs were too fast to catch up, so he could only bite the bullet...
He will be a fart in formations!
Not only can't he, he can't believe any of the lieutenant generals in the army. These guys are all from various clans and clans. They are all envious and jealous of him being appointed by Zhangsun Wuji to guard Baqiao. It is light to say "replaced". I can't wait to let the Youtun Guards rush into the army and slaughter him as a commander in one fell swoop...
The struggle for interests between the aristocratic clans is always accompanied by blood and brutality.
If you can't run away, and don't trust others, you can only bite the bullet and demand that the entire army take its place and perform its duties.The army was also a little flustered. Although there were not many people who were proficient in military affairs, there was at least some common sense. Six or seven thousand elite cavalry rushed to attack, but our side remained unchanged to meet the enemy with the formation when we were stationed normally. Will this work?
Obviously not!The army was in a panic.
Then, the surging Youtun Guard cavalry roared...
Gao Kan led [-] elite cavalry, one person and two horses, so he was mistaken by the rebel scouts for thinking that the number was about [-] or [-], and the gap was doubled.But when Gao Kan ordered his soldiers to stop advancing at a distance of [-] miles from Baqiao, change their horses on the spot, and then launch a group charge, there was no difference in the turbulent momentum.
The Tang Dynasty has been established for a long time. Although there have been many scattered wars in these years, not every army can experience battle formations, especially the sixteen guards guarding Guanzhong, of which less than half are often brought to the front line.
Among them, the one who has fought the most, won the most, and has the most reputation in recent years is the Youtunwei.The soldiers in the army followed Fang Jun's expedition to the west, and they were invincible. Not only was their morale high and self-confidence unparalleled, but their battle experience was unparalleled.
At this moment, the [-] cavalry and [-] war horses went all the way south along the east bank of Bashui, rushing forward in a hurricane.
Thirty thousand rebels were stationed on the east side of Baqiao. The camp was endless, seemingly as stable as a mountain, but at the moment when Youtunwei rushed into the camp, they saw the spear array listed by thousands of people on the other side's bow and crossbow. , Under the bombardment of the thunder, it collapsed and collapsed in an instant, and the entire military camp was blown up.
Most of the soldiers of the rebels came from the servants, merchants, and tenants of the clansmen. These people were not within the scope of the government's recruitment, so most of them had never been in battle, and did not know the power of the cavalry charge. After all, there were still a few regular troops. These The soldiers knew best what kind of slaughter they would face once the infantry formation was dispersed by the cavalry, so seeing the spear formation being dispersed in one fell swoop, the soldiers did nothing, and Sayazi ran back.
However, these regular troops are the backbone of the entire army. Those servants, merchants, and tenants all follow their horses. Seeing that the backbone of the army retreats, the army is panicked. The barracks rioted, then collapsed...
Liu Gang, who was guarding the central army tent, was completely dumbfounded when he saw this scene, and he couldn't believe it - he knew that he didn't have much commanding ability, and this battle was very likely to fail, but it was defeated too quickly, right? !
I have to resist for a while and then lose the enemy and retreat, so I can explain to the eldest grandson Wuji, it's not because our army is incompetent, it's just because the enemy army is too fierce!
But to collapse without any resistance, it would be too disgraceful...
However, he couldn't help thinking about it at this time. The guards around him saw that the entire barracks had collapsed in a commotion, and they turned to the sky, so they quickly retreated back with Liu Gang behind their backs.The Baqiao is already full of crowded soldiers, where can they squeeze through?The personal soldiers were in a hurry, and no one gave way even after berating and berating. In his heart, he simply pulled out a horizontal knife and smashed the soldiers who were blocking him to the ground, shouting angrily: "The commander enters the city, quickly make way!"
Several soldiers were caught off guard and fell to the ground. Blood was flowing, and they died on the spot without saying a word. The surrounding soldiers were dumbfounded and forgot to move forward.
Liu Gang's personal soldiers waved horizontal swords again and again, threatening and slashing at the same time, and finally angered these defeated soldiers.
These defeated soldiers were not the servants and slaves of the Liu clan in Hedong. Seeing Liu Gang fleeing and killing people in order to seize the road, his anger gradually piled up.Someone suddenly shouted in the crowd: "As a commander, you can't lead your army to kill the enemy, and you don't even know how to arrange your troops, so that we were killed by the enemy's cavalry, but at this moment, we still have to walk on our corpses to escape for our lives. What's the difference between beasts?"
The anger was stirred up by this sentence, especially on the east bank of Baqiao. The cavalry of the Youtun Guards rushed straight into the barracks. The iron hoofs were broken like a bamboo. I don't know how many soldiers were slaughtered by him. On the Ba Shui, the surging crowd smashed the ice surface, and countless people fell into the icy water with screams and screams...
"It's all this person's incompetence, and he has suffered a fiasco!"
"What's the use of keeping such waste?"
"kill him!"
The anger broke out completely under the instigation of public opinion. It is definitely not dare to kill Liu Gang. Afterwards, he will be severely punished. They are all servants, slaves, and livestock-like existences among various clans. is required.
The routed soldiers were not stupid. They moved frantically, and almost instantly pushed Liu Gang and his personal soldiers from the Baqiao and fell into the river...
At this time, it was a severe winter, the weather was bitter and cold, and the river was covered with a thick layer of ice. When there were many people, you could step on the ice and fall into the water, but Liu Gang and others fell from the bridge to the river, but they fell firmly on the ice. On top of that, Liu Gang hit his head on the ice and fainted.
No one paid attention on the bridge, and the surging crowd rushed towards the west of the bridge.However, the normally spacious Baqiao seemed too narrow at this time, unable to accommodate too many people crossing the bridge, and the people behind could not squeeze on it. They fled towards Lantian in the south, Mount Li in the east, and Xinfeng in the northeast.
In the spacious and flat area to the east of Baqiao, tens of thousands of routed soldiers were chasing after the [-] cavalry guards on the right.
The Guanlong army on the west side of Baqiao was in full formation, blocking the bridgehead on the east side. Numerous sharp spears formed a dense wall at the bridgehead. Jump onto the river.
While the defenders on the west side of Baqiao blocked the bridge, they were even more stunned to see the cavalrymen of the Youtun Guards galloping across the wide and flat field under the heavy snow on the west side, treating the tens of thousands of Guanlong troops as cattle, sheep and dolphins. Like a dog, kill and drive away at will...
This scene is really too shocking. Guanlong's army prides itself on being numerous and powerful, but in the face of the invincible heroic divisions like Youtunwei, they feel a chill in their hearts, their morale is sluggish, and the military is in turmoil.
……
Gao Kan took the lead and chased after him recklessly for a while, only to feel refreshed and high-spirited. At this level of fighting, who would have thought that the entire army of [-] rebels would collapse and flee in embarrassment with just one charge?
After recklessly chasing and killing for a while, Gao Kan gathered his troops and did not dare to delay. If Guan Long's army reacted and blocked the way to retreat, it would be a big trouble.
The three thousand cavalry quickly gathered up and headed straight for Baqiao under the command of Gao Kan. The rebels on the west side of Baqiao were so frightened that their palms were sweating and they were ready to fight.
Fortunately, Gao Kan just stopped not far from Baqiao, and his own soldiers jumped from horseback behind him. The two of them held large shields. .
A wave of arrows shot out from the rebel formation on the west side of Baqiao, all of which were blocked by shields.
Several soldiers quickly came to the position near the center of Baqiao, fiddled for a while, and then quickly retreated...
The rebels on the west side of Baqiao were still confused at first, thinking that the Youtun Guards were trying to take Baqiao by force, but it didn't seem right. Three thousand cavalry assembled far away from the west of the bridge, just a stone's throw away, watching the soldiers Withdrew to the west of Qiaoxi, flew on their horses, and the entire cavalry of the Youtun Guards slowly turned, as if they were about to leave, only then did the rebel general react and shouted: "Come on the bridge, they must have buried gunpowder and want to blow up Ba bridge!"
