Whether the Nanchen army should fight or retreat in the land of Luliang involves not only the increasingly severe situation between the enemy and ourselves, but also everyone's considerations that are difficult to ignore, especially Wu Mingche, the Nanchen coach and Xiao
The considerations of Maha, the future coach, and the current forward general, after all, only their two decisions will really affect the fate of Nanchen's army.
It was precisely because every word he said was of great importance that Xiao Mohe did not dare to say nonsense. He would rather believe that Wu Mingche could still make the right decision in the end.
But Li Xingchen knew that in history it was Wu Mingche's meaningless persistence that led to Nanchen's disastrous defeat in the Battle of Luliang. Therefore, since Li Xingchen has determined to enter the chaotic vortex of the Battle of Luliang, he must go all out
Calm down the storm and bring back Nanchen's last army safely.
In troubled times, soldiers are the king of grass. Especially for Nanchen, who lives in the south of the Yangtze River, this army is indispensable if he wants to persevere.
Li Xingchen looked at the sky filled with sunset outside the camp and said in a deep voice: "Brother Xiao, we are going to see Old General Wu. You and I have a heavy responsibility."
Xiao Shilian, who lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, suddenly said "Yeah", slowly raised his head to meet Li Xingchen's gaze, and nodded solemnly.
——————————
The main camp of Nanchen is actually located on the southwest side of the Xiaomahe camp, adjacent to the Luliang River and backed by a low hill. It can be attacked when advancing and defended when retreating. It is definitely a good place for both offense and defense.
At the same time, the main camp and Xiao Mohe's forward cavalry camp on the northeast side interacted with each other, and could also protect the heavy supply camp on the other side of the hill, allowing the Nanchen army to deploy the next one in a small place like Luliang.
In a triangular formation, the armies at the three corners can support each other and naturally form an encirclement posture, which prevents the enemy from attacking with all their strength in case they are attacked from the side. The ingenuity of its arrangement is impressive.
As a veteran general who has been on the battlefield all his life, Wu Mingche's military qualities and ability to organize troops are beyond praise. Such a tricky camp arrangement is enough to give everyone who comes to attack a headache. It is no wonder that the previous Northern Qi and
The Northern Zhou Dynasty suffered a lot in this front. Wu Mingche always felt that the Battle of Luliang could turn around, probably in large part because of the clever layout of the camp, which gave him great confidence.
However, due to Wang Gui's outflanking of the rear route, most of the grain, fodder, carriages and horses in the baggage camp retreated to Huainan in advance. Even if Wu Mingche felt that there was still a chance to sustain it, he was not foolish enough to abandon his weakest baggage camp.
It means being exposed to Wang Gui's sword and gun.
"Now the main camp still has five days of food and fodder, and the forward camp has more, which can still last for ten days. In addition, the war horses have enough food to last for seven or eight days." Xiao Mohe raised the whip in his hand and pointed into the distance.
The empty baggage camp said, "So it doesn't matter if there is no baggage and food for a while."
Li Xingchen raised his eyebrows: "Having said that, I'm afraid that the comparison between the offensive and defensive armies of the two sides in Luliang will have undergone earth-shaking changes in five days."
Xiao Mohe smiled bitterly and nodded. Wu Mingche actually wanted to wait, that is, wait for these five days. If the war has not turned around after five days, he would have to retreat if he did not retreat. But as Li Xingchen said, the Northern Zhou Dynasty is still
Will they be allowed to sit here on the Diaoyutai for five days?
To put it bluntly, Yu Wenxin, who had been completely defeated before, was actually just here to explore the way, and Wang Gui could be regarded as the vanguard. Who knows who will lead the army to arrive five days later. The famous generals of the Northern Zhou Dynasty gathered, Wei Xiaokuan, Yuchi
There are also Sui Guogong Yang Jian, and there are several others who are easy to provoke. By then, the Nanchen army will not be a nail embedded in Huaibei, but a piece of fish on the chopping board of the Northern Zhou army.
The evening wind blew Xiao Mohe's clothes. Faced with such a strange and difficult situation, this general who had followed Chen Baxian to conquer the world since he was thirteen years old could not hold his breath. At the moment, he could only take a deep breath to calm down: "
Let’s go, let’s take it one step at a time, it’s better than waiting to die in the camp!”
Li Xingchen and Xiao Shilian who were following him both had serious expressions on their faces and hurriedly urged their horses to follow Xiao Mohe's figure. The personal guards behind him also hurriedly followed. More than a dozen cavalrymen stirred up billowing smoke in the field.
Because General Wu Yi's flag was raised in front, the soldiers guarding the camp did not ask any more questions. Seeing that Xiao Mohe was leading the team in person, they hurriedly opened the camp. Xiao Mohe did not hesitate and rode straight towards Wu Mingche's tent.
Seeing Xiao Mohe's strong figure dismounting quickly, Li Xingchen's frown relaxed a lot. Xiao Mohe walked out of the camp. Apparently, not only was he unwavering, but he also firmed up his idea of persuading Wu Mingche. Otherwise, there would be no way.
It would be such a rush.
However, Xiao Mohe is fast, but Li Xingchen cannot be fast. To be honest, this is the first time he has ridden a horse in his previous life. In his previous life, he rode a horse when traveling to the grassland, but it was just riding a horse in circles. To be honest, this was his first time riding a horse.
Li Xingchen has never done anything like riding a horse at full gallop, and getting on and off the horse is even more of a huge challenge.
Of course, not being able to ride a horse is really not a shameful thing for the people of the Southern Dynasties. It is said that even Chen Qingzhi, who single-handedly trained Seven Thousand White Robes, could not ride a horse before he was thirty years old. Northerners are good at riding, and Southerners are good at riding.
Zhou, this sentence is not unreasonable.
So when they saw Li Xingchen clumsily getting off the horse, the guards behind him did not laugh. Xiao Shilian also enthusiastically demonstrated to Li Xingchen the correct position of getting on and off the horse - the general Xiao family was a horseman, so for
Of course, his children and bodyguards are all skilled in horseback riding.
When Li Xingchen dismounted with difficulty, Xiao Mohe's figure had disappeared into the main tent. Xiao Shilian stretched out his hand and pulled his sleeve. Li Xingchen took a deep breath and walked directly into the main tent side by side with Xiao Shilian.
It was getting late, and there were only a few candles in the main tent swaying and emitting a faint light. In this dim light, Xiao Mohe stood solemnly. When he heard the footsteps behind him, he said: "This is to follow the end."
There are two juniors who are coming, one is the son of the family and has been appointed as a general in the army, and the other is a guest of the house and was invited to the army."
Xiao Shilian was startled for a moment. In the army, his father usually referred to him as a general and as a subordinate. Only when two people are alone or only a few confidants are present, they would address him as a father and son. What happened today?
And Li Xingchen rolled his eyes. Some people say that he is a guest in the house, but some people actually refer to him as a staff member. Xiao Mohe really simply gave himself such an identity. But I have to say that this identity is exactly what he is now.
Since Xiao Mohe has already said what Li Xingchen wants, there is definitely no reason to take it back as long as Li Xingchen doesn't object.
