Chapter Seventy-Four
"Send out the sentinels and search carefully along the road where the Shimayi army came, and at the same time, don't let go of the surrounding mountains and forests!" Wang Rail squinted his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, the decadence after drinking hatred in the battle just now was not visible on his face at all, and Wang Rail at this time seemed to be in another battle that also required his full attention to deal with.
"General, what does this mean?" A Northern Zhou general looked at Wang Liang in surprise, "Our army is newly defeated, and the top priority should be to sort out the team and rectify the morale, but the general is unusually re-deploying the assembled team, I am afraid it will give Daoyi an opportunity to ······"
Wang Liang sneered: "Who told you that this war is over?" ”
The general was stunned for a moment, and Wang Liang did not hesitate to stretch out his hand and point to the Nanchen army in the distance: "You see that the banner in the Daoyi army has always been the banner of Xiao Maha, if Wu Mingche was sitting behind him before, it is reasonable for Xiao Maha to use his banner as the general flag to lead the crowd to kill, but now that the victory and defeat of this battle have been decided, why is the banner of Xiao Maha still used the banner of Xiao Maha as the general flag in the Daoyi army?" ”
"This ······ What does the general mean is that Wu Mingche is not in the Daoyi army at all?! The expressions of the surrounding generals who pricked up their ears changed, as Wang Liang said, if Wu Mingche was in charge of the Nanchen army, then what appeared now should be Wu Mingche's general flag, but in the fire of the Nanchen army not far away, it was indeed the Xiaozi banner.
In other words, it is still Xiao Maha who is commanding the Nanchen army now, so where is Wu Mingche?!
"Wu Mingche, that old thief is still in the land of Luliang?!" One of the generals was the first to react and couldn't help but exclaim.
Wang Liang nodded, and raised his whip in his hand: "You see that the reason why Daoyi's attack this time was unexpected is because most of them came lightly, and even among the foot soldiers, only the sword and shield bearers carried shields, and those large shields and heavy shields used to resist arrows did not have them, not to mention the baggage convoy accompanying the army." ”
Although Nan Chen's baggage camp was completely withdrawn before Wang Liang's army arrived, but the army marched to fight, and not all things were placed in the baggage camp, including enough for the army to support for several days in case of emergencies - especially the impact of the attack on the baggage camp - that is to say, the retreat of Nanchen's heavy camp does not mean that all of Nan Chen's baggage and equipment carried have retreated, and these things are still to come.
And the one who led this team to retreat was naturally Wu Mingche, who was rumored to be sick and did not show up in the big melee tonight.
As for why Wang Rail mobilized the army to search north, the purpose is naturally clear and simple, as long as Wu Mingche and this army can be found, for Wang Rail, it will definitely be regarded as a great achievement, whether it is an encouragement to the army's morale or a blow to Nan Chen, it is no less than the victory or defeat of the battle just now.
The Northern Zhou cavalry galloped towards the darkness, in this vast night and mountains and forests, the Northern Zhou cavalry who had recovered from the fiasco just now was pulling out the net, ready to wipe out the enemies that appeared at any time.
However, Wang Liang did not look at the darkness in a hurry, after all, for the cavalry of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, it was still easy to deal with a clumsy baggage team, as long as they could find them, it would be equivalent to announcing their death sentence, and now compared to finding the baggage team led by Wu Mingche, it is more important to look at the movements of the Nanchen army.
If Xiao Maha returns to the army in a hurry, he will be able to prove that Wang Rail's guess is correct, and Wang Rail is confident that he will be able to drag Xiao Maha until the baggage team led by Wu Mingche is wiped out. But what worried Wang Rail was that Nan Chen's army just stopped there, and he didn't want to kill back to stop Wang Rail.
It seems that they are just watching a play, watching a play with only one actor, Wang Liang.
Wang Rail frowned, Xiao Maha has always been treacherous and difficult to speculate, and there is a clear difference between Wu Mingche's steady tactics of using troops, and Wang Rail also admitted that he had not studied Xiao Maha much before - after all, Wu Mingche was still there, Wang Rail never thought that Wu Mingche would completely hand over the command of the army to Xiao Maha.
Therefore, Wang Liang was always in an unfavorable situation in the big melee tonight, and he was always in a disadvantageous situation of being restrained by Xiao Maha until he was finally defeated. And now Wang Liang didn't dare to figure out what Xiao Maha meant by not moving.
Is it to confuse them, or does Xiao Maha not care about the life or death of this baggage team. Or maybe Wu Mingche is actually in the army······ But if Wu Mingche was in the army, then Nan Chen's army would not stop, but should throw off his sleeves and leave.
What's more, Wu Mingche's illness is not a secret, the sentinels of the Northern Zhou Dynasty have long investigated this matter clearly, with Wu Mingche's physical condition, it is still possible to command the battle in the back, and it is naturally unthinkable to rush and kill with the army, and tonight Nanchen's various armies are in rapid movement, even the infantry brigade and the infantry team of the Chinese army wandering around the periphery are actually constantly changing positions to confuse the Northern Zhou army.
This is definitely unbearable for Wu Mingche's body.
Wang Liang took a deep breath, trying his best to prove that all his previous guesses were correct, but ······
At this moment, a bright arc rose from the air of Nan Chen's army, and the eyes of countless people converged on that arc at the same time.
A moment later, another arc rose from behind the mountain.
"That's ······" The generals of the Northern Zhou Dynasty looked in some surprise in the opposite direction from what they had been concerned about before.
Wang Liangdeng's face changed greatly, and he suddenly reached out and pressed his chest, his eyes were dark, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and spots were sprinkled on his armor.
"General!" The guards screamed and pounced, reaching out to support the king rail who had fallen from his horse.
Stretched out his hand and tried his best to grasp it to the sky, but in the end he didn't catch anything, Wang Liang smiled miserably and muttered: "Lu Liangshui, Lu Liangshui!" ”
Behind that mountain, it was the Luliang Water that had been flowing until the camp of the Northern Zhou army had been razed to the ground, but now the Northern Zhou army did not have a single soldier on the bank of the Luliang River, and everyone's attention was attracted to the direction of the hill where the Southern Chen army attacked.
After all the calculations, it was the leakage of Lu Liangshui!
The drums sounded, all the Northern Zhou soldiers turned back in disbelief, only to see the sparkling Luliang water, a temporary bamboo raft along the river to the downstream speed, some of the bamboo rafts carried heavy vehicles, some carried war drums and armor, and a red flag hunted and danced on the leading bamboo raft, and a "Wu" character on the top of the exhibition, into everyone's eyes.
"General Xie Wang opened the door to see him off!" The drumming stopped, and all the soldiers on the bamboo raft said aloud at the same time, and even naughty people saluted the Northern Zhou army in a hurry.
The water fence that had not been built before was easily knocked open by the bamboo rafts, and the bamboo rafts disappeared quickly under the gaze of the Northern Zhou army.
