Chapter Seventy-One: Time

The converging Xiao Maha and Xiao Shilian horse teams rushed towards the depths of the left flank of the Northern Zhou army at the same time. The left and right flanks of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were originally dominated by foot soldiers, and this surprise attack came suddenly, so most of the cavalry did not have war horses, and even if there were war horses, many horses did not even have saddles on their backs.

In front of the most elite cavalry of the Xiao family in Southern Chen and the cavalry of the Chinese army of Wu Mingche, these soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty could only sigh that it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

The horse's hooves trampled the earth, Xiao Maha's flag danced in the hot wind, and this team of cavalry with a total of 2,000 people fought a bloody way among the panicked Northern Zhou soldiers, and then did not slow down at all, and went directly along the bank of the Luliangshui River towards the Northern Zhou rear team that was forming a team. Not long ago, the Northern Zhou rear army, which had just gotten rid of the cavalry under Xiao Shilian, was in chaos in the face of this enemy who appeared again.

At the same time, Nan Chen's slower infantry brigade had also broken through the slight obstruction on the right flank of the Northern Zhou army and rushed straight towards the Chinese army. Wang Liang, who originally planned to integrate the remnants of the left wing and the Chinese army, suddenly fell into a dilemma.

If he chose to gather troops, then it would be easy to expose the belly and back of his Chinese army in front of the Nanchen infantry brigade - compared to the Chinese army of the Northern Zhou alone, it was obvious that the main brigade of Nanchen had a rare numerical advantage. And if he chooses to stop, I am afraid that the rout of the left wing will really be irreparable.

The war horse galloped, the wind blew in his face, Li Xinchen took a deep breath, and the blood that slipped from the head of the spear had formed a blood scab, gluing Li Xinchen's hand and the spear tightly together. He squinted his eyes and looked ahead.

The rear army of the Northern Zhou army was getting closer and closer.

At this time, Li Xinchen's mind had gradually sobered up. He didn't know how many people he had killed along the way, but he knew that the spear in his hand bearing the name of the famous general fifty years ago was full of blood along the way, just like he had followed his previous master fifty years ago.

After killing the left flank of the Northern Zhou Dynasty thoroughly, Li Xinchen gradually figured out the specific tactical arrangement of Xiao Maha.

In the final analysis, Xiao Maha took advantage of a time difference, a time difference that was fatal to Wang Liang and the Northern Zhou army. At the beginning of the entire raid, Xiao Maha used the tactics of attacking the east and the west to constantly induce Wang Rail to expose his flanks and rear, while the Chinese army, which was actually the main force, and the cavalry led by Xiao Shilian took this opportunity to continuously assault the left and right flanks of the Northern Zhou army and the Chinese army, which had suffered a lot of losses before, thus creating greater confusion for Wang Rail and completely breaking the defensive position that the Northern Zhou relied on to defend.

When Wang Rail intended to gather the left and right wings, Xiao Maha killed from the flank and rear of the right wing and routed the right wing; When Wang Rail wanted to merge the Chinese army and the left flank, Xiao Shilian left the Northern Zhou Rear Army and inserted it directly into Wang Rail's central army, and at the same time, Xiao Maha also entered the left flank, completely interrupting Wang Rail's plan, which was likely to ultimately decide the outcome of the war.

All in all, Xiao Maha is like an unpredictable prophet, always hitting him in the soft underbelly before the king's track. Everything Wang Liang did was actually using the sacrifice of a part of the army in exchange for the assembly of the rest of the army, so as to maintain a strict formation, and then occupy an absolute advantage over Nan Chen in terms of troops.

But Xiao Maha didn't give Wang Rail this opportunity at all, as soon as he came up, Xiao Maha directly attacked in multiple ways to stir up Wang Rail's army, and then no matter which army Wang Rail wanted to gather, which army would be mercilessly defeated by Nanchen Buqi, who arrived immediately.

What Wang Rail needs is a little time, a stick of incense or even a cup of tea, but this melee has been fought until now, and Xiao Maha has not given Wang Rail any time at all. Xiao Maha was ahead of Wang Rail in the arrangement, which was a crucial little time, thus forming a fatal time difference.

Of course, Li Xinchen would not be naïve to think that Xiao Maha would have any mind reading skills, or any divine power, and be able to control Wang Liang's decisions, Li Xinchen, who had been following Xiao Maha and watching him give every order and make every action, knew very well why this happened in the end.

Because Xiao Maha has completely occupied the initiative on the battlefield from beginning to end, he is leading Wang Rail's nose, for Wang Rail, if he wants to take the next step, he must follow the plan that Xiao Maha has formulated.

Li Xinchen didn't know how long Xiao Maha had been studying this layout tonight, but he had clearly realized how strong the ability of the world's famous generals was, and he also realized how much he needed to learn and improve.

Heroes are born in troubled times, even if these generals are not famous in later generations, none of them are easy to mess with.

Xiao Maha's application of strategies and tactics such as attacking the east and attacking the west, encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao, as well as his interpretation of "immobile like a mountain, aggression like fire", all made Li Xinchen feel a real shock.

Of course, now is not the time for Li Xinchen to chew on all these changes tonight, because this big scuffle is far from over.

Xiao Maha's flag danced, more than a thousand cavalry roared into the Northern Zhou rear army, and the Northern Zhou rear army, which was approaching the Chinese army, never thought that this cavalry, which should be wreaking havoc on the left flank, would suddenly kill in front of them, but after all, they had plenty of time to organize the team, so it was far from being as chaotic and disorganized as when Xiao Shilian led the army to kill before.

However, unexpectedly, this group of cavalry, which changed the entire battlefield and slipped away the Northern Zhou troops like walking dogs, did not rush into the rear army that was waiting for them, but quickly turned their horses' heads and swept in front of the rear army.

At this time, there was a gap between the Northern Zhou army and the Chinese army, and what Xiao Maha needed was this gap left by the panicked formation of the Northern Zhou army.

Seeing that this group of cavalry did not come to attack him, but directly rushed towards the Chinese army, it can be said that the generals of the Northern Zhou Rear Army were also surprised. Before, they let that cavalry go and almost caused Wang Liang to be killed, they already knew that they would not be able to escape the guilt, and now if they watched this group of cavalry break into the Chinese army, then they could really consider the question of whether the head of the Xiang Shang could be kept after the war.

At the moment, there were constant shouts among the rear army, and the generals who realized the heavy responsibility urged the soldiers who were also aggrieved to move forward desperately.

At the same time, on the other side of the Northern Zhou Central Army, the Nanchen infantry of the brigade began to assemble, except for the infantry soldiers who had a fierce battle with the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Chinese army at the beginning, after that, they were actually just cleaning up the peripheral battlefield, recuperating and recuperating, and waiting for now.

The sound of horses' hooves hurried, and the figures of several heralds flickered, and they immediately rushed in front of the large army array. Seeing their appearance, the Nan Chen generals standing at the front of the queue waved the blades in their hands at the same time: "Kill!" ”

"Kill-" The Nan Chen infantry of the brigade followed the flags in front and began to run.

Thousands of feet stomped on the ground, and the whole earth trembled violently.
