What Gao Yuan said to Hongshu before the battle was by no means an exaggeration, but a confidence. Don't look at the large number of people in the Qi army, but the plateau didn't take them seriously at all. Because the victory or defeat of the war is not necessarily related to the number of troops at all. Tong Guò's observation of the Qi army stationed on the Great Wall, and yesterday's battle with the Qi army disguised as bandits, Gao Yuan has seen through the essence of the Qi army, that is, the middle cadres are strong outside, and they are not vulnerable at all.

After all, if any army does not fight for 40 years, it is conceivable how much combat strength it will have. Moreover, in the past 40 years, not only has the Qi State not fought a war, but also the armament is lax, and the morale of the army is weak, and there is not much combat power left. Therefore, although the number of Wu'an troops is small, Gao Yuan is completely sure that he will be able to defeat the Qi army.

The result was indeed as expected by the plateau, after this battle, the Qi army was suddenly defeated on all fronts. And the plateau later let Hongxiu's people go down the mountain to participate in the battle, to hurt the water dogs, mainly to let them see the blood, but also to experience the atmosphere of the battlefield, Bi Jing This is just a sentinel battle, and the battle to defend the mountain in the next few days still needs the strength of this group of people. In a short period of time, it is impossible to improve their combat effectiveness and combat experience, but victory can boost their confidence and morale, so that they will not be frightened by the numerical superiority of the later Qi army.

The farthest one chased for nearly twenty miles before he stopped his footsteps, and Gao Yuan ordered not to clean the battlefield, but Hao put away the arrows shot and the weapons left by the Qi army, and then everyone returned to the mountain to garrison.

Although there is no statistics on the most results, it is conservatively estimated that the number of Qi troops killed will never be less than 500. In addition, more than 30 prisoners were captured, and only two were killed by the Wu'an army. And Hongxiu's people only lost six people in battle.

After coming back, the soldiers of the Wu'an Army were nothing, what to do, calm and quiet, as if they had finished eating. But the people who are Hongxiu are all full of red light, extremely excited, blowing and laughing. In fact, most of them went down the mountain to play soy sauce, that is, they ran a lap, and there were very few hands-on people, but in any case, it can be regarded as a victory, and it is normal for Lainiao, who is new to battle, to have such a reaction. It's better to win than to lose.

Finally, when they calmed down a little, Gao Yuan ordered the assignment, Ling Feng still led the army to ambush at the foot of the mountain, and the other armies were stationed separately on the main roads on the mountain. At this time, Hong Xiuji admired the plateau so much that even his subordinates were respectful to the plateau, and no one dared to question the plateau's orders anymore.

Nothing happened on this day, but early the next morning, the follow-up army of the Qi army rushed to the spot, seeing that there were at least five or six thousand people, and this time there was no one afraid on the mountain, the hand holding the weapon was no longer trembling, and there was only liquid in the mouth, and the feelings were more stable.

The situation of the Qi army is different, even in the battle the day before yesterday, the Qi army lost two battles in a row, losing more than a thousand soldiers, and there are still hundreds of corpses of soldiers lying on the ground. It shows that the last battle was a great defeat of the Qi army, which is also the reason why Gao Yuan ordered not to clean up the battlefield.

Of course, the current battlefield is impossible to fight, so the Qi army can only clean up the battlefield first, and then prepare for battle. As a result, this busy work took a morning, and after the two sides had lunch, the Qi army once again fought under the mountain, but this time the Qi army listed a round formation, obviously learning the lessons of the previous battle, for fear that another army would come out from behind.

After being busy for a while, three chariots galloped out of the array of the Qi army and came to the front of the mountain, at this time, Hongxiu pointed at the side of the plateau, pointed to a Qi general on the chariot in the middle, and said: "My lord, he is Dr. Rao An Huang Jingyuan." ”

Looking down from the mountain, I saw that Huang Jingyuan was about forty years old, with a burnt yellow face, thin eyebrows, small eyes, and two dog oil beards on his lips. But there is no point of city guarding, the bearing of a local magistrate.

Huang Jingyuan raised his head and shouted at the hill, "Can Hongxiu be on the mountain?" ”

Hongxiu immediately responded: "Yes, I'm on the mountain." ”

Huang Jingyuan said: "Hongxiu, now that you have been trapped in the mountain, there is no help and no food, you can only sit and wait to die, Tian Kezang has been unable to protect himself, don't expect him to come to save you, or surrender as soon as possible, hand over Tian Kezang's batch of weapons and armor, I can spare you a way out, and I can also intercede for you in front of the prime minister, and make you a sergeant, isn't it better than waiting for death on the mountain?" ”

Hong Xiu laughed and said: "Huang Jingyuan, you don't talk about bullying people there, the day before yesterday, you have lost two battles in a row, don't you understand, your actions have long been in An Pingjun's calculations, and defeat is just around the corner." If you surrender to me now, it's still too late, and it's better to make you a corporal when the time comes, than nothing. ”

After finishing speaking, the soldiers on the mountain immediately responded with a burst of laughter, Huang Jingyuan was ashamed and annoyed, and stomped his feet on the chariot and scolded: "Okay, Hongxiu, you dare to be stubborn when you die, see how I attack the mountain, how to clean you up." ”

Hongxiu laughed and said, "Okay, Huang Jingyuan, I'll wait on the mountain to see how you attack the mountain." ”

Huang Jingyuan almost blew his lungs in anger, and immediately ordered: "Attack." ”

I saw a group of soldiers slaughtering from the array of the Qi army and launching an attack on the mountain.

And Gao Yuan watched the soldiers of the Qi army on the mountain like ants, climbing up from the bottom of the mountain, but he didn't move, but Hongxiu was a little nervous, and said, "Lord Li, give the order quickly, they have already climbed up." ”

Gao Yuan smiled: "Don't worry, wait until they climb closer." Then he said loudly: "Don't act rashly, but listen to my commands." ”

Although Hongxiu's heart was anxious, Gao Yuan didn't give an order, and he had no choice but to watch the Qi army get closer and closer. And at this time, the value of yesterday's victory was revealed, of course the soldiers of the Wu'an Army didn't care, and the people under Hongxiu could still calm down and didn't move. If it had been yesterday, I am afraid that someone would have done it a long time ago.

In fact, Gao Yuan was very contemptuous of Qi Jun's movements in his heart, and this action was too slow, and it took him so long to climb a mountain, even he was a little tired of waiting. Finally, the soldiers of the Qi army were about to climb to the front, and the nearest Qi soldiers were less than twenty steps away from the defense line, and the five views could be seen very clearly.

When Gao Yuan saw it, he ordered: "Release the arrows." ”

At this time, the soldiers guarding behind the defense line had already been prepared, so after Gao Yuan gave the order, he immediately opened his bows and arrows, and suddenly the arrows rained down, shooting towards the Qi army, while other people who did not have bows and arrows smashed tree poles, stones, etc., to the heads of the Qi army.

As a result, the Qi army was suddenly shot down, and after the tree poles, stones and other objects were thrown out, they rolled down the hillside, and smashed the Qi soldiers to the point that their heads were broken and bleeding, their muscles and bones were broken, and the sound of screams became a one. Seeing that the situation was not good, the other Qi soldiers immediately hurriedly turned around and ran down the mountain.

But everyone knows that it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, although it is slower to go up, it can also be step by step, flat and stable, and it is different when going down the mountain, not to mention that these Qi soldiers are still in a hurry to flee for their lives, who can take care of so much, they are all in a panic, and there are many soldiers who fight under their feet, and they become a gourd that rolls down the mountain. And knocked down quite a few other soldiers. As a result, they rolled and trampled on each other, and a lot of injuries were killed.

After all the Qi troops retreated from the hill, Huang Jingyuan counted the losses, with a total of nearly 200 casualties, and more than 100 people were injured, screaming in front of the battle.

In fact, Gao Yuan did not expect that the Qi army would be so vulnerable, this attack was only more than half an hour before and after, if you remove the time for the Qi army to climb the mountain in front, the time to really start the attack was actually only ten minutes, the Qi army's attack was repulsed, it seems that the combat effectiveness of the Qi army is indeed no longer good.

At this time, there was another burst of laughter on the top of the mountain, and Hongxiu laughed on the top of the mountain: "Huang Jingyuan, how is it?" Can you still make it up the mountain? Am I still waiting for you here? ”

Huang Jingyuan was so angry that he stomped his feet on the chariot, and immediately ordered the Qi army to attack the mountain again, but at this time, the morale of the Qi army had been discharged, and he was very timid, and he did not have the courage to attack the mountain again, only under the persecution of Huang Jingyuan, he had to avoid attacking the mountain. The defenders on the mountain, under the command of the plateau, still waited for the Qi army to climb the mountain before they started to fight back, and now the defenders are more and more confident in fighting, and they are not panicked at all.

But as soon as the defenders attacked, the Qi army immediately retreated like a mountain, almost defeating at the touch of a button. However, every attack of the Qi army was about to climb to the front of the defenders, because although the Qi army retreated quickly, they were still killed by the defenders and beat many people, and some people rolled down the mountain when they retreated.

However, after the Qi army was repelled twice in a row by the defenders, they also learned to be smarter, and the later attack simply stopped at the foot of the mountain, waved the spear in his hand, and shouted: "Kill, rush" and so on, although the momentum is not small, but it just does not rush upward.

The Qi army did not rush up, and of course the defenders would not release arrows or throw tree poles and stones downward, but they just looked at the Qi army's table from behind the defense line, and the soldiers said loudly: "What is it called under the mountain?" If there is a seed, rush up. ”

And the Qi army was not ambiguous, and shouted at the bottom of the mountain: "What kind of ability do you have to hide on the mountain, dare to come down and fight?" ”

The soldiers on both sides went up and down the hill like shrews scolding each other. And this battle actually fought like this, and the plateau was a little crying and laughing, it seems that the Qi army is indeed a wonderful flower in this era.
