Chapter 68: Pei Zilie
Li Xinchen looked in the direction where the voice came, and immediately understood that it should be Pei Zilie, the chief general of Wu Mingche's Chinese army. Li Xinchen's impression of Pei Zilie stayed in the history books, he and Wu Mingche were in a separate volume, but Xiao Shilian had also mentioned this young general to him before.
Pei Zilie was born in Jiangmen and lost his father at a young age (author's note: According to historical records, he is a young orphan. ), brave in battle, has been serving under Wu Mingche since joining the army, presiding over Wu Mingche's Chinese army, often fighting bravely in front of the front, has the reputation of "the army first", can be said to be a brave general who likes to lead the charge like Xiao Maha.
At this time, Pei Zilie's official Ren Dianwei was a general, although he was only a miscellaneous general, but he was able to be a miscellaneous general at the age of his twenties, which could have been regarded as an outlier, which shows Pei Zilie's courage and great achievements.
There were two cavalry teams in the army of Nan Chen, the largest one was in Xiao Maha's forward, and the other one had nearly a thousand people, which was in the Chinese army under Pei Zilie's command. The Chinese army is the core of a large army, and it is also the army that protects the safety of generals on the battlefield, and is often the main force and elite among the armies, and is well-equipped. After all, the existence of the Chinese army is a symbol of the safety of the main general, and the collapse of the Chinese army is not far from the collapse of a large army.
Before, Wang Liang made a lonely bet to pull the Chinese army up, relying on the combat power and fearless spirit of the Chinese army officers and soldiers, and stubbornly blocked the attack of Nanchen like a tide, so as to win a precious respite for the Northern Zhou.
Therefore, the combat power of the Chinese army led by Pei Zilie can be imagined.
Seeing Pei Zilie's sudden resistance, Xiao Maha raised his eyebrows, he knew that with Pei Zilie's upright character - it was precisely because of this character that he was appreciated by Wu Mingche - he must be worried about his own safety from the bottom of his heart, but at this moment, Xiao Maha knows very well where the key to the entire battlefield is, and this blow is related to the victory of this sudden outbreak of war, so Xiao Maha is absolutely not allowed to pretend to be someone else's hands:
"Needless to say, obey the general's orders!"
Pei Zilie did not hesitate this time: "No! ”
Xiao Maha yanked the reins of the horse, and the long sword in his hand was raised violently: "Brothers, we have already defeated Liang Shiyan and defeated Yuwenxin, and now there is another king rail, isn't it the military function sent to the door?!" ”
"Can't!" The footmen behind him roared.
"Okay, follow so-and-so, kill!"
The war horse neighed, stirring up the dust, and Xiao Maha took the lead in rushing down the hillside.
Take the lead.
"Kill!" Pei Zilie roared and waved his horse, and the Chinese infantry rode closely with him to follow Xiao Maha's figure. An army of 10,000 people poured down from the hillside, and in the light of the fire, countless swords flickered.
It's like the Milky Way falling for nine days.
Li Xinchen rode his horse and galloped, closely following among the thousands of troops. At this moment, he is no longer a single Li Xinchen, but one of the thousands of soldiers who are shouting and rushing forward to kill. In the rolling waves on the hillside, it is impossible to tell who is who, but they are indispensable.
Countless soldiers constitute this unrivaled force. This is Xiao Maha's last trump card, and it is also the trump card that will determine this victory.
The earth trembled in the neat running and shouting of thousands of people, and Lu Liangshui, who was rushing not far away, even felt this real shock, constantly trembling and fluctuating in this heavy voice.
In an instant, the cavalry team led by Xiao Maha rushed into the right wing of the Northern Zhou army hastily assembled, the horse's hooves trampled the earth, and the fragile defense line of the right wing infantry formation was easily torn apart by this typical cavalry assault triangle formation, and countless Northern Zhou soldiers screamed and retreated to the rear, and the infantry also took a shortcut from the other side under the leadership of Pei Zilie, just blocking the road for the right wing infantry to converge with the central formation on the side of the camp.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the right-wing counterattack force that Wang Liang sacrificed to the Chinese army that had been assembled was completely crushed by the infantry led by Xiao Maha, and these Northern Zhou soldiers who had threatened the Nanchen army just now were either crying and fleeing, or had become dead souls.
Just as he had dealt with the Northern Qi army and the Northern Zhou Yuwen Xin army before, Xiao Maha showed his unparalleled bravery, and even the army under Wang Rail's command had an irrepressible collapse like their "predecessors".
In the face of this Shura Yaksha who was reborn from hell, they had no choice but to escape.
And at this moment, seeing with his own eyes the miracle created by Xiao Maha, Li Xinchen believed why the Northern Qi and Northern Zhou would be defeated so badly before, and also understood why only Xiao Maha led the cavalry to break out of the encirclement in the entire battle of Luliang in history.
This Xiao Maha is really a natural brave general!
Xiao Maha did not fight, and after defeating the right flank, he immediately turned the horse's head, and at the same time, the orders were already conveyed in an orderly manner between his swing of the horse's lance. Obviously, the guards who followed Xiao Maha were accustomed to this method, and even in the midst of the chaos, they could still accurately convey orders to the ears of every general.
Xiao Maha and his guards are like a murderous machine, as long as it works, the enemy will only have a dead end.
Even if the cavalry under his command is not brought out by himself, as long as Xiao Maha is still there, the entire army can still sweep away the enemy with a devastating momentum.
"Quick, keep up with Lao Tzu!" Just when Xiao Maha led the Chinese army to sweep the right flank of the Northern Zhou army, on the shore of Luliang Water, Xiao Shilian also gave an order aloud, and immediately turned the horse's head. The cavalry who rushed to kill in the Northern Zhou Dynasty did not hesitate at all, followed closely behind Xiao Shilian to break away from the chaotic battle situation by the river, turned his horse's head and rushed straight to the position of the Northern Zhou Central Army that was burning in flames.
The central army and the left and right wings of the Northern Zhou army were concentrating on dealing with the main army of Southern Chen, and they never thought that this Southern Chen cavalry, which had opened up the entire melee, did not care about the rear army of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which was already in chaos, but directly killed the Chinese army.
I have to say that as a famous general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Wang Liang still did a good job in the face of Nan Chen's sudden attack. First of all, at the cost of the sacrifice of the rear army and the Chinese army, he blocked the attack of the Nanchen army, so that the panic and collapse caused by the Nanchen army were terminated, and then the left and right flank armies were mobilized to be ready to counterattack at any time, and at the same time ordered the rear army to fight and retreat, and try to entangle the Nanchen cavalry, which was not many in number led by Xiao Shilian, as much as possible.
It's just that Wang Liang still ignored one thing after all, or one point he didn't know at all. That is, it was not Wu Mingche who commanded the army on the other side, but Xiao Maha.
Wang Liang put on such a posture of "losing the car to protect the commander" and holding the camp to counterattack step by step, if it was the Nanchen army commanded by Wu Mingche, I am afraid it would bring great trouble to Wu Mingche. It's just a pity that Wang Liang's main opponent tonight is not Nan Chen's brigade foot soldiers, but the two light cavalry led by Xiao Maha and Xiao Shilian's father and son.
In fact, in Xiao Maha's eyes, the main task of Nan Chen's infantry was to contain and confuse the enemy, and it was these two teams of cavalry that were really deadly.
