Chapter 67: Assault
However, Xiao Shilian also knew that there was not much time left for him, and the cavalry's attack focused on suddenness, once the suddenness was lost, then it would be time for the cavalry to be at a disadvantage. What's more, judging from the entire battle situation, the deadliest weapon in Xiao Maha's hands is also this cavalry in Xiao Shilian's hands.
With Xiao Shilian's order, a famous general galloped at the same time, and in their shouts, the originally neat horse team exploded violently, and a group of cavalry rushed in different directions. The armor, swords, and guns shone brightly, and as the cavalry continued to separate, on the shore of this Luliang water, in this vast darkness, a flower of death slowly bloomed.
And all of this fell in the eyes of Xiao Maha and Li Xinchen on the hillside not far away.
The Nanchen soldiers and horses of the brigade were whizzing past the two of them, rushing towards the Northern Zhou camp under the hillside. Li Xinchen slightly turned his head to look at Xiao Maha standing in front of him, at this time, Xiao Maha stood on the hillside with his sword in his hand, looking at the battlefield below the hillside with an expressionless face, the sound of roars, horses' hooves and the sound of swords and guns were endless.
It seems that everything under the mountain has nothing to do with Xiao Maha, at this time he is a chess player sitting at the table, and his opponent is Wang Liang. Just on this hillside and the slope of the mountain, between the big tent of the Chinese army on the bank of the Luliang River, the battlefield where countless soldiers sacrificed their lives and forgot to fight is the chessboard of the two of them, and any chess piece survives for the victory of the entire chess game.
Li Xinchen took a deep breath and didn't say anything.
Xiao Maha's courage and ruthlessness and resoluteness were indeed beyond Li Xinchen's expectations, and after Wu Mingche obtained the qualification to command the army, Xiao Maha almost did not hesitate at all, and immediately turned around and went to the big tent of the Chinese army, using Wu Mingche's big seal and token, and ordered all departments to dispatch according to the order.
Wu Mingche just stood beside Xiao Maha with a smile on his face and didn't say anything, but it was obvious that all his actions showed his acquiescence to Xiao Maha.
Of course, the order of the governor of Nanchen is different from the order of General Wu Yi, although I don't know why Wu Mingche will give the order to attack without raising the general, but after all, the "100,000 urgent" on the military order is indeed marked, and there is nothing wrong with Wu Mingche's big seal on it, and more importantly, the instructions and arrangements for the breakthrough on the military order can be said to have been waiting for a long time for many generals below.
After all, like Xiao Maha, these generals are not stupid to rush to the front to kill the rest of the guys, naturally they all see the battle situation in Luliang clearly, but as General Xiao Maha Wuyi, there is no way to move the old general, and these generals are naturally speechless, so they can only wait anxiously, now the order is down, and it is Xiao Maha, the deputy commander of the army, who personally led the army to the front, and everyone understands that this time it is true.
Throughout the entire battle of Luliang, Xiao Maha led the forwards to advance, which time was not real, and which time was not a big victory?
Therefore, the generals with previous experience were full of confidence and rushed to lead their troops to attack according to the order.
There is one thing that Li Xinchen has to admit is that as long as the advantages of the Southern Dynasties' elite army policy are brought into play, they are indeed strong enough. In this vast darkness, Li Xinchen would rather choose 2,000 elite troops than 10,000 rabble, after all, the ancient marching and fighting battles largely focused on the integrity of the array, once someone escaped, it was possible to drag several or even dozens of people around to escape, and then lead to the complete collapse of the entire array.
And the probability of this happening is undoubtedly greater than that of an army of rabble, especially in this darkness.
It is no wonder that the Southern Dynasties were able to compete with the Northern Dynasties for 300 years, and there were even many examples of winning more with less.
At this moment, Xiao Maha, who was standing still, slowly drew his sword. And Li Xinchen also realized something, and followed his gaze.
A raging fire rose into the sky, and the intertwined torches and flames of light completely illuminated the entire darkness, and at this time, it was already clear to see the tragic situation on this bloody battlefield. In the darkness, the Nanchen army, which attacked the river beach with cavalry first, obviously still had an advantage, especially the cavalry that came up attracted most of the attention of the Northern Zhou, so that the Nanchen infantry who later attacked from the other direction just hit the soft underbelly of the Northern Zhou army.
Whether it is in terms of the arrangement of troops or the offensive strength of the Nanchen army, Xiao Maha and these Nanchen soldiers have done a perfect job.
It's just that in the end, their opponents are not here to be beaten, Wang Liang's reaction can't help but be fast, as the lieutenant general's flag was raised, the Chinese army quickly pulled out, directly behind the front army that had been hit and collapsed by Nan Chen's foot soldiers, defending the camp and even every camp tent at all costs, obviously they received a death order.
It was precisely because the original overwhelming attack of the Nanchen infantry was hindered that the Northern Zhou army, which had the advantage in numbers, was able to take this opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief and stabilize the already fragmented position, and even the armies on both wings had begun to reassemble and could turn around and enter the battlefield at any time.
Li Xinchen stood on the hillside, clearly saw the changes that were taking place on the battlefield, for him, this was the first time in his previous life and this life to be on such a battlefield, whether it was from experience or experience, it can be said that it is of great significance to Li Xinchen.
However, Xiao Maha couldn't take care of Li Xinchen who was standing behind him at this time, and said in a deep voice: "Come on, prepare the horse, send an order to Pei Zilie, rectify the Chinese army, and kill with a certain rush!" ”
"No!" The herald quickly turned away.
And Li Xinchen also vaguely figured out what Xiao Maha meant at this time. The Southern Chen army lost the suddenness of the attack, coupled with the numerical inferiority, so it has gradually formed a stalemate with the Northern Zhou army on the battlefield, it is conceivable that as the Northern Zhou troops gradually stabilized, the subsequent changes in the battle situation will definitely be more unfavorable to the Southern Chen, especially the two wings of the Northern Zhou regrouped army, which may come over at any time to surround the Southern Chen army, and then the Southern Chen army will really be unable to advance or retreat, and fall into a desperate situation.
What Xiao Maha has to do now is to take the Chinese army to cut off the sharp blades in the hands of the two kings on the left and right wings of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
In order to be able to block the attack of Nan Chen's army, Wang Liang even did not hesitate to put his Chinese army on the front line, using genuine human lives to buy precious time for the rest of the troops to rectify. And in order to break the deadlock, Xiao Maha obviously doesn't plan to stay behind.
"Virtuous nephew, would you like to go together?!" Xiao Maha Huoran turned around.
The smell of blood in the air made Li Xinchen's expression shocked, it was the army led by Wang Liang under the hillside that broke the tranquility of the village and caused more than 200 people in the village to die. Even if this blood feud goes to the ends of the earth, Li Xinchen will never forget it.
Not to mention the fact that the enemy is close at hand.
With a slight smile, Li Xinchen arched his hand and said: "You should obey your fate!" ”
Xiao Maha Huo Ran turned over and got on his horse, and a young general rode his horse to Xiao Maha's side: "General Wu Yi, you command the army, it is not easy to risk yourself, and your subordinates should not fail in their mission if they lead the army!" ”
