Chapter Sixty-Nine: The King's Track
It was precisely because Xiao Maha took the cavalry as his trump card unexpectedly, so the defensive position laid by Wang Rail in the face of the infanciers suddenly appeared full of loopholes in front of the cavalry with completely different attack methods and attack speeds.
After the first attack was blocked, the Nanchen infantry brigade did not rush to launch the next attack, but retreated and assembled in a hurry, and at the same time launched an attack on the right wing of the Northern Zhou Dynasty that had been scattered by the Chinese army led by Xiao Maha. The rout is irreversible.
However, although Wang Rail made a mistake in arranging the troops, he still reacted quickly, and the Chinese army and the left flank, which had suffered heavy losses, contracted at the same time, and fought and retreated to the shore of Luliang Water, as for the rebellious army on the right flank, Wang Rail could not take care of it at this time.
After all, it takes a lot of time to sort out the rebellious army, and what Wang Liang lacks most now is time. As for putting the rebellious army into the fairly neat Chinese army and the left wing array, Wang Liang didn't dare to think about it. This army, which was formed by a lot of temporarily captured strong men and Northern Qi troops, did not have the same strong combat power and will as the normal garrison troops of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, such as Zhichong Mansion and Yingyang Mansion, and it would be good to be able to gain the upper hand with the advantage of numbers.
The difficulties of the Northern Zhou court, of course, Wang Liang also knew that after the defeat of Yuwenxin, it was not bad to be able to put together such an army in just half a month, after all, the national situation was there, and the various armies that had just experienced the annexation of the Northern Qi Dynasty really needed to be repaired, and it was only now that they came to Luliang to support.
Looking at the chaotic battle situation in front of him, even if he was fighting in all directions and the famous Wang Rail, he also had a feeling of powerlessness. Nan Chen's unpredictable attack method was beyond Wang Liang's expectations, but the soldiers under his command did not feel handy at all when they commanded, first the left and right flanks came up and were defeated, and it took a lot of hard work to assemble, as a result, the right flank advanced slowly, and the infantry brigade that had not had time to encircle Nan Chen was defeated again; Immediately after that, Nan Chen's infantry and cavalry separated, running all the way to the left flank and all the way to the right flank.
Wu Mingche, a veteran, is not without research, since he got older, he has always sought stability in his marching formation, and he was reluctant to attack Wang Rail's department because he was not sure. But tonight's big battle, from the rapid attack to the strange and unpredictable formation changes, doesn't look like a steady veteran's command style.
In the flickering firelight, Wang Liang stood on the platform with his sword in his hand. This is the highest position in the entire camp, and you can clearly see the changes in the battle situation. The tents and fences on the outskirts of the camp had been set on fire, burning half of the sky to the surface, while the blue and red flags of both sides were intertwined on the banks of the Luliang River, and the roars and fighting never stopped.
The surrounding guards didn't dare to come out, they had never seen Wang Liang have such a solemn look on his face after following the general for so many years.
Wang Liang was born in a wealthy family, and his ancestor was the famous Situ Wang Yun in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, who once served as the personal guard captain of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty Yuwen Yong, following Yuwen Yong's sword mountain and fire, birth and death, and has been promoted from a small former corporal to the general and the Duke of Yanguo, and is the pillar of optimus in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Such a general who has been tempered by blood and fire has rarely encountered such a thrilling situation.
The Southern Chen army was raging in the camp of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the Northern Zhou army continued to collapse and retreat, a blue banner fell helplessly, and a famous soldier fled in panic.
The teeth bit his lip stubbornly, Wang Liang's hands were already soaked with beads of sweat, such an opponent would definitely be a great enemy for the Northern Zhou.
Now Wang Rail can only rejoice, at least the Chinese army and the left wing are still in his own hands, and they are still on par with Nan Chen in terms of strength, especially after vaguely guessing Nan Chen's tactics, Wang Rail believes that with the hole cards in his hand now, he can still hold it.
A flurry of footsteps interrupted the king's tracks.
"General, the left flank is reporting that the enemy cavalry is attacking them, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist!" A sentry rode up to the platform in three steps and two steps, his face covered in blood.
Wang Liang Huo Ran looked in the direction of the left flank, and in the shaking firelight, a group of cavalry rushed out, directly stabbing into the somewhat scattered formation of the left flank army because it was moving closer to the Chinese army.
Tricky, ruthless, and lethal in one hit!
Even the guards who followed Wang Liang couldn't help but take a breath, they could already clearly guess the end of the army on the left flank. Their scattered formation, coupled with the fighting spirit that had just been assembled and not very high, had no power to stop this small but fierce cavalry.
"Come on, prepare the horses, the Chinese cavalry will attack with a certain one!" Wang Liang finally made up his mind and shouted loudly. At this time, the guards standing on the Dianjiang platform all found that they didn't know when Wang Liang bit his lip hard, but he didn't care about this, but walked straight to the war horse under the Dianjiang.
The sound of arrows breaking through the air sounded suddenly.
"General!" A quick-eyed guard shouted violently, jumped out, threw the king rail on the steps to the ground, and the two of them hugged each other and rolled down the steps.
And a few arrows whistled past the place where Wang Liang had just walked.
"Protect the General!" The captain of the guard suddenly had red eyes, and the guards around the point platform clenched their swords and guns at the same time. And a group of cavalry flew out in the flickering firelight, directly broke through the defense of the outer Northern Zhou cavalry, and rushed straight towards the Dianjiangtai!
This group of cavalry came too fast, and the speed was too fast, and even the Northern Zhou cavalry guarding the periphery did not react, otherwise they would not have been allowed to break through the defense so easily. The cavalry couldn't handle it, let alone the guards who had just come to their senses.
However, these guards around Wang Rail have followed him on the battlefield for many years, and when they saw that these enemies who suddenly came out were running towards Wang Rail, they immediately roared and jumped off the platform to meet these Daoyi cavalry who did not know the height of the sky.
One after another, the guards fell under the horses of the Nanchen cavalry, and several cavalrymen behind did not hesitate to throw the torches in their hands onto the point platform, and the fire on the point platform made of wood burned violently.
"Major General, the barbarian cavalry has been killed, we can't move forward!" A general blocked Xiao Shilian hoarsely.
