Precisely because Xiao Mohe unexpectedly used cavalry as his trump card, the defensive formation that Wang Gui laid out that was watertight against the infantry suddenly appeared to be full of loopholes in the face of the cavalry, which had completely different attack methods and attack speeds.
After the Nanchen Infantry Brigade was blocked in the first attack, they did not rush to launch the next attack. Instead, they calmly retreated to assemble, and at the same time launched an attack on the right wing of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which had been scattered by the central army led by Xiao Maha.
During the attack, the right-wing army, which was already on the verge of collapse, quickly became scattered in the face of the sudden main force of Nanchen's infantry, and could no longer assemble. In the darkness, among the jumping firelight, in the shouts of Nanchen's soldiers,
A Northern Zhou soldier in the right wing fled in panic, and the defeat was irreversible.
However, although Wang Gui made a mistake in the formation of troops, he still responded quickly. The central army and the left wing, which suffered heavy losses, shrank at the same time and fought and retreated towards the bank of Luliang River. As for the rebel army on the right wing, Wang Gui
Rail could no longer care about it at this time.
After all, it takes a lot of time to organize the rebellious army, and what Wang Gui lacks most now is time. As for putting the rebellious army into the relatively neat array of the central army and the left wing, Wang Gui can't even think about it. This army is composed of many temporary
The army formed by the captured young men and the soldiers surrendered by the Northern Qi Dynasty did not have as strong a fighting force and will as the normal garrison troops such as Zhechong Mansion and Yingyang Mansion in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. It would be good if they could gain the upper hand with their numerical advantage. Wang Gui could not
I dare to imagine what kind of danger would be caused by rashly letting in this chaotic army in such a chaotic situation.
Of course, Wang Gui also knew the difficulties of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. After Yu Wenxin's defeat, it was not bad to be able to assemble such an army in just half a month. After all, the national conditions were there, and the various factions that had just experienced the annexation of the Northern Qi Dynasty were
The army really needs to be repaired, and it is only now that it is starting to come to Luliang for support.
Looking at the chaotic battle situation in front of him, even the famous Wang Gui, who was fighting in all directions, felt that he was unable to do what he wanted. Nan Chen's unpredictable attack method was beyond Wang Gui's expectation, but the soldiers under his command had little command.
They didn't feel comfortable at all. First, the left and right wings were defeated when they came up. It took a lot of hard work to assemble. As a result, the right wing advanced slowly, and Nan Chen's infantry brigade was defeated before it had time to encircle Nan Chen. Immediately afterwards, Nan Chen's infantry brigade was defeated.
The pawns and cavalry separated and ran all the way to the left wing and all the way to the right wing. What exactly was Nan Chen's commander planning was elusive to Wang Gui.
Wu Mingche, the veteran general Wang Gui, is not without research. Ever since he got older, he has always sought stability in his marching formations. He had been reluctant to attack Wang Gui's headquarters before because he was not sure. But tonight's battle, since
From the rapid attack to the weird and unpredictable formation changes, it doesn't look like a steady veteran's command style.
In the flickering light of the fire, Wang Gui stood on the commander's platform with his sword in his hand. This was the highest position in the entire camp, and he could clearly see the changes in the battle situation. The tents and fences outside the camp had been set on fire, covering half of the sky.
The sky was burning brightly, while the green and red flags of both sides were intertwined on the bank of Luliang River, and the roars and sounds of fighting never stopped.
The surrounding guards did not dare to express their anger. For so many years of following the general, they had never seen such a solemn look on Wang Gui's face.
Wang Gui comes from a wealthy family. His ancestor is the famous Situ Wang Yun in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. He once served as the personal guard captain of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Yong. He followed Yuwen Yong through mountains of swords and seas of fire, through life and death, and was promoted from a small former corporal to a general.
Duke Yan was the pillar of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Such a general who was tempered by blood and fire rarely encountered such a thrilling situation.
The Nanchen army was wreaking havoc in the Northern Zhou camp, while the Northern Zhou army kept collapsing and retreating. The green flags fell helplessly, and a famous soldier fled in panic. Wang Gui had never encountered any encounter in the battlefield in his life.
Having experienced such a scene, I never thought that one day my sons and sons would be massacred and ravaged by the enemy like this.
His teeth were biting his lips, and Wang Gui's hands were soaked with sweat. Such an opponent would definitely be a formidable enemy to the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Now Wang Gui can only be happy that at least the central army and the left wing are still in his hands. In terms of military strength, he is on par with Nan Chen. Especially after vaguely guessing Nan Chen's tactics, Wang Gui believes that with the trump card in his hand, he can still
Defended.
A burst of panicked footsteps suddenly interrupted Wang Gui.
"General, report from the left wing. The enemy cavalry is attacking them. I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist them!" A sentry rider rushed up to the general's platform in three steps and two steps at a time. His face was covered with blood.
Wang Gui suddenly looked towards the left wing. In the flickering firelight, a group of cavalry rushed out and directly penetrated the formation of the left wing army, which was somewhat scattered as it moved closer to the central army.
Tricky, ruthless, and fatal in one blow!
Even the personal guards following Wang Gui couldn't help but take a breath. They could already clearly guess the outcome of the army on the left. Their scattered formation, combined with the fact that they had just assembled and
With low fighting spirit, this group has a small number of people, but there is no way to stop them in front of the fierce cavalry.
"Come here, prepare your horses, the Chinese cavalry will attack with you!" Wang Gui finally made up his mind and shouted loudly. At this time, the guards standing on the general stage all realized that Wang Gui suddenly suddenly
He bit his lip, but he didn't care about it, and walked straight towards the war horse under the stage.
The sound of arrows piercing the air suddenly sounded.
"General!" A guard with sharp eyes and quick hands shouted suddenly, jumped out, threw Wang Gui to the ground on the steps, and the two hugged each other and rolled down the steps.
And several arrows whizzed past the place where Wang Gui had just walked.
"Protect the general!" The guard captain's eyes suddenly turned red. The guards guarding the general platform held their swords and guns at the same time. A group of cavalry flew out in the flickering light of the fire and directly broke through the outer defense of the Northern Zhou cavalry.
Rush straight towards the general platform!
This group of cavalry came so fast that even the Northern Zhou cavalry guarding the perimeter did not react, otherwise they would not have been able to break through the defense so easily. The cavalry could not handle it, let alone those who had just returned.
God's personal guard.
However, these personal guards around Wang Gui have followed him on the battlefield for many years. When they saw that these enemies who suddenly came out were rushing towards Wang Gui, they all roared and jumped off the general platform to meet these unknown enemies.
The island barbarian cavalry.
One after another, the personal guards fell under the horses of the Nanchen cavalry, and several cavalrymen behind did not hesitate to throw their torches onto the generals' platform, and the wooden generals' platform burst into flames.
Burn.
"Major General, the barbarian cavalry is coming, we can't go any further!" A general shouted hoarsely and stood in front of Xiao Shilian.
