"General, we can't wait any longer!" A battle leader shouted anxiously, "The enemy is already retreating. If we continue like this, I'm afraid all the enemies will retreat into the mountains."
Xiao Shilian frowned slightly, not sure if he heard it. His eyes kept falling on the retreating left and right wings of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The enemy's retreat on the left and right wings always looked a bit strange to him.
Suddenly thinking about something, Xiao Shilian took a deep breath.
The enemy's retreat was too strict!
Apart from anything else, he had read the article "On the Battle of Cao GUI". Now the Northern Zhou army gave him the feeling that it was retreating without any chaos, which showed that the enemy did not really want to retreat. And it seemed that Xiao Shilian's advancing speed was increasing.
Slowing down, the enemy's central army's retreat speed also slowed down, as if they were waiting for Xiao Shilian.
"Stop!" Xiao Shilian suddenly raised his right hand, "Every department restrains the troops and horses, we retreat!"
"General?!" Several generals looked over in surprise. In such a great situation, how could they retreat as soon as they said retreat? How was this battle fought?
"Retreat to the front line of the hills and be sure to defend strictly!" Xiao Shilian's face became serious as he looked at the opponents in front of him. Yu Chishun came to him for a moment, which made Xiao Shilian's originally fiery brain calm down.
Although the enemy suffered considerable losses, it was far from collapse, and Yu Chishun obviously wanted to set a trap for himself.
Being able to make such an emergency response at such a critical moment, Yu Chishun is indeed more difficult to deal with than imagined.
However, no matter how difficult the enemy is to deal with, making such a hasty decision will inevitably expose flaws. The current Yuchishun has undoubtedly exposed flaws in the tight military formation. As long as Xiao Shilian is still awake, he will naturally not be fooled by this.
In particular, Xiao Shilian has been familiar with military books since he was a child. Military books may sometimes limit the generals' unrestrained imagination, but in most cases, they can prevent latecomers from making the same mistakes as their predecessors.
Most of the soldiers and horses under Xiao Shilian have been fighting with Xiao Maha for a long time, and his personal guards are all selected from Xiao Maha's personal guards. So for them, the order of the major general is certain.
To be obeyed.
Now Xiao Shilian gave the order, and these people did not hesitate. No matter why, since the major general said it, everyone should follow it.
As orders came from the army, a Nanchen army began to retreat neatly, while the archers and crossbowmen all deployed along the hillside. As long as the enemy had the courage to pursue, they would immediately greet them with arrows.
As the Nanchen army retreated, the left and right wings of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which had been retreating steadily, stopped at this time and returned to the main battlefield to protect the central army.
Yuchi Shun was holding a knife, his face ashen. Several generals who strode over to ask for instructions also knew why their generals were angry, and they all held their breath subconsciously.
The Northern Zhou army suffered heavy losses in this battle, leaving only seven to eight hundred corpses, not to mention injured soldiers. The Nanchen army only seemed to have injured one or two hundred people, and it also successfully destroyed the Northern Zhou camp. It can be said that
A great victory.
In the end, Yuchishun's only chance to make a comeback was to let Xiao Shilian rush up, stabilize the center of the army, and then outflank the left and right wings. In this way, the Northern Zhou army could use their numerical advantage to directly surround Xiao Shilian. Even if Xiao Shilian had the ability to break through, he would have to abandon his helmet.
First.
But Xiao Shilian didn't do this at all. He sensed the trap and stabilized the front on that hill before the left and right wings of the Northern Zhou Dynasty could rush up.
This was really a disastrous defeat. If this was a gambling game, Yuchishun almost lost and went bankrupt.
"General..." Several generals looked at me, and I looked at you, and finally pushed a confidant of Yu Chishun up. The general raised his hand in a low voice, "General, what should be done next?"
Yuchi Shun gritted his teeth. He wanted to order a direct attack on Xiao Shilian, but Xiao Shilian's orderly retreat and the crossbowmen on the distant hillside who could be seen clearly in the moonlight clearly told him to continue moving forward.
It would only make the losses of the Northern Zhou Dynasty even greater.
"Leave the scouts here to monitor, while the ministries clean up the battlefield and prepare to retreat to join the general." Yuchishun said in a deep voice, "We cannot fight this battle again."
"This..." Several grumpy generals immediately wanted to argue.
Yu Chishun obviously knew what they were thinking and looked around: "Look for yourselves, the soldiers and horses are exhausted and the ground is in a mess. Why should we fight with the enemy? Xiao Shilian just gave up when he saw the opportunity, and now he is defending high places with the power of victory, condescendingly,
Why should we attack?"
The generals immediately lost their temper, and they all knew that what Yuchishun said was an indisputable fact.
"Perhaps Dad and I underestimated our opponents before," Yuchishun murmured, "This Xiao Shilian is not that easy to deal with."
Before, they thought that the only one in Bashu who needed to deal with was Li Xingchen, but now it seems that this Xiao Shilian is no ordinary person, let alone Pei Zilie. Only then did Yuchishun remember that these three guys were the youngest in Nanchen.
The miscellaneous general.
Sikong Wu Mingche, who presided over the military affairs of Nanchen, although he had won and lost in his life and was not a victorious general, he never made mistakes when it came to judging people. The Xiao Mohe he had previously selected was eaten by Northern Qi and Northern Zhou.
After all the hardships, Li Xingchen, Pei Zilie, Xiao Shilian, etc. are now selected. Those who can catch the eye of Wu Mingche, an old fox, must have something special.
Yuchi Shun suddenly remembered what Yuchi Jiong had said before.
Bashu is now a dead game. The Northern Zhou Dynasty has an absolute advantage, but Nanchen has given up on this game and regards all those stationed in Bajun as abandoned pieces.
But abandonment...it is inevitable that sometimes it will become the last chance of survival!
"Li Xunchen, Xiao Shilian..." Yuchishun softly read the name of his opponent. Since he followed his father on the battlefield, he has been defeated twice, once under Zhangshan City, and once in this Sun Valley.
Doorstep!
And their opponents have always been Li Xingchen and Xiao Shilian.
"Let's go, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time." Yuchishun said in a deep voice.
Now the cliffs on both sides and the hills in front are under Xiao Shilian's control. No matter what Yuchishun does in this valley, Xiao Shilian will see it clearly, so Yuchishun might as well retreat directly to Micang Mountain.
Whether it is to attack by force next, or to find another way, at least Yu Chishun has more choices than before.
As for Xiao Shilian, Yuchi Shunliang did not have enough troops to pursue him.
How can it be so easy for an abandoned son to make a comeback...
