Chapter 40: Surprise

PS: Book friends, the old book "Tilting Song" is also wonderful, you can taste it first

"What, I met the barbarian sentry in front?!" Xiao Shilian's face changed greatly.

The surrounding soldiers pressed their hands on the blades at the same time, and their eyes fell on Li Xinchen and Li Qiu. At this time, the Northern Zhou army was suddenly discovered, so it was most likely that Li Xinchen and the two of them deliberately brought everyone into the ambush circle of the Northern Zhou in this deep mountain and old forest.

Especially the old soldiers who originally felt that Li Xinchen and the two of them were not good people, they couldn't help but look angrily, as long as Xiao Shilian gave an order, they would not hesitate to pounce on Li Xinchen and the two of them.

"Why are there barbarian sentinels here? Didn't you say there were only bandits? Xiao Shilian Huo Ran looked back at Li Xinchen, even if he had a good upbringing, his face was already a little angry at this time, and the clay man was still angry, not to mention that Xiao Shilian also felt that he had been fooled.

"General Xiao is suspicious of us?!" Li Qiu suddenly said angrily, leaning forward slightly, facing Xiao Shilian.

Xiao Shilian could still hold on, but the old soldiers around him all had cold faces, and they were about to draw their swords, and the blade that was half-unsheathed flashed for a while.

Li Xinchen couldn't help but chuckle, glared at Li Qiu, shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands to look at Xiao Shilian: "If the two of us want to bring you into danger, then why stay here and wait for death?" When we entered the mountains before, all the way deep into the mountains and old forests, with the two of us familiar with the surrounding terrain, we can escape at any time, do you think you can catch up? ”

Several old soldiers glanced at each other and nodded, if the surrounding mountains and forests were not led by Li Xinchen and Li Qiu, I am afraid that they would not know where they were when they touched the Year of the Monkey, and if the two of them wanted to escape, they could run at any time, and there was really no need to enter this encirclement with them.

"What about this ······" Xiao Shilian frowned slightly, subconsciously he was willing to believe Li Xinchen, but in any case, facing the sudden sentry of the Northern Zhou army today, there must be an explanation.

You must know that the army that can arrange sentry spies in front of you has to be hundreds of people, not to mention hundreds of people, and it is definitely not something that Xiao Shilian and his hundreds of people can compete with.

Li Xinchen gritted his teeth and set his eyes on the dense forest, the sentry of the Northern Zhou army that the sentry soldier in front of him had already revealed his true face. These soldiers are indeed very different from the bandits that Li Xinchen and they had dealt with before, although they are not wearing armor, but whether it is the murderous aura on the faces of these people or the blades in their hands, it undoubtedly proves that they are as outright veterans of the long war as those soldiers around Xiao Shilian.

However, these sentinels were also a little dizzy in the deep mountains, and after going around a few trees, they still helplessly found a clearing to stop, and they didn't know what they were waiting for. They didn't continue to move forward, but it also made Xiao Shilian and Li Xinchen and the group breathe a sigh of relief, otherwise they really didn't know how to deal with it.

Hit the grass and startle the snake, and I don't know what snake will be drawn; And if you turn around and leave at this time, it is easy to expose your whereabouts, and the gains outweigh the losses.

"Youtu!" Xiao Shilian said in a low voice, and an old soldier hurriedly took out the map from his arms and handed it to Xiao Shilian.

This map is definitely not accurate, and even in Li Xinchen's opinion, it is far less good than the map drawn by Li Cheng and them in detail around the village, but it is big enough to mark in detail the positions of the Northern Zhou and Southern Chen armies facing each other on both sides of Lu Liangshui. However, seeing that the outline of the mountains on the map was only roughly outlined, Xiao Shilian couldn't help frowning.

Li Xinchen patted him lightly on the shoulder: "If Brother Xiao doesn't mind, Brother Yu is willing to take a closer look at Brother Xiao." ”

Xiao Shilian did not hesitate at all this time, and directly unfolded the map thoroughly. At this time, perhaps only Li Xinchen, who is familiar with the surrounding terrain, can help him, after all, suddenly encountering a sentry of the Northern Zhou army in the deep mountains and old forests is enough to make Xiao Shilian worry and try to figure out the truth.

Frowning, Li Xinchen looked at it for a moment, and stretched out his hand to point on the map: "According to the shape of the mountains drawn on the map, we should be in this position now, Brother Xiao, you see this is a mountain we have walked on before, and after this mountain, continue to the outside is the deserted village where you and I met, and Brother Xiao has also marked it here." ”

Xiao Shilian looked in the direction of Li Xinchen's finger, and couldn't help but gasp: "Here······ If you continue to move forward from here, you can just go to the lower reaches of Luliang Water, and then you can cut off the retreat of our army! ”

was stunned for a moment, and Li Xinchen's face also changed greatly.

Outflanking Lu Liangshui and cutting off Chen Jun's retreat, why does this sentence sound so familiar?

It seems to ······ Li Xinchen tried his best to recall the "Book of Chen" he had read, and his heart sank straight down······ It seems that the battle of Luliangshui at that time, Nan Chen lost like this!

In history, because the two generals Wu Mingche and Xiao Maha managed the defense line well, and Chen Jun's morale was high because of the previous big defeat of Yuwen Xin, so Wang Liang began to seek victory with surprise troops after many attempts to attack without success.

Because of the negligence of the previous victory, neither Wu Mingche nor Xiao Maha expected that Wang Liang would use the main army to smuggle and outflank the rear road of the Chen army, cutting off Lu Liangshui in one fell swoop, causing the Chen army to fall into a heavy siege.

Xiao Maha, who reacted in time, suggested that after he broke off, Wu Mingche led the cavalry to lead the troops to break through before the encirclement was closed, but the old general resolutely refused, and forcibly ordered Xiao Maha to lead the elite cavalry to break through, while he led the infantry brigade to cover behind the palace,

In the end, Xiao Maha led the vanguard to jump out of the encirclement and retreat to Huainan in time, but Wu Mingche fell into the encirclement of the Northern Zhou army that came later, was defeated and captured, and finally died of depression in Chang'an.

It can be said that the Battle of Lüliang was a watershed at the end of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and after this battle, the Northern Zhou, which was chaotic in the country and had a mixed military system due to the annexation of the Northern Qi Dynasty, took this opportunity to recover its vitality and once again occupy the initiative against the Southern Dynasties.

The Southern Chen completely defeated the family foundation accumulated by Chen Baxian during the founding of the country, and lost all the strategic advantages of the troops in Huaishang, and shrank to Huainan or even Jiangnan, and no longer had the strength to fight for hegemony in the north, until it was wiped out by the Sui Dynasty many years later.

Such a great war that affected and even finally decided the hegemony of the Northern and Southern Dynasties was the most important point in the fact that Wang Liang sent troops in the form of gambling to outflank the Chen army. This is an extremely dangerous move, but it is the key point of Zhongnan Chen.

At this moment, Li Xinchen took Xiao Shilian and met him in this chaotic mountain by mistake, and nine times out of ten he was the main force of the advancing Northern Zhou army!
