"Send sentries and search carefully along the road where the barbarian army came, and don't let go of the surrounding mountains and forests!" Wang Gui narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, the decadence after the hatred in the battle just now was reflected on his face.
At this moment, Wang Gui seemed to be in the middle of another battle that also required his full attention.
"General, what does this mean?" A Northern Zhou general looked at Wang Gui in surprise, "Our army is newly defeated. The top priority should be to organize the troops and improve morale. However, the general uncharacteristically re-deployed the assembled troops. I'm afraid it will cause trouble.
The island barbarians can take advantage of this opportunity..."
Wang Gui sneered: "Who told you that this war is over?"
The general was startled for a moment, but Wang Gui without hesitation stretched out his hand and pointed towards Nanchen's army in the distance: "You see, the flags in the Daoyi army are Xiao Mohe's flags from beginning to end. If it was said before that Wu Mingche was behind
If he were to sit in command, it would be reasonable for Xiao Mohe to use his banner as the general to lead the charge. But now that the battle has been decided, why does the island barbarian army still use Xiao Mohe's banner as the general?
"
"What...general means is that Wu Mingche is not in the Daoyi army at all?!" The expressions of several generals who pricked up their ears changed. As Wang Gui said, if Wu Mingche was in charge of Nanchen
army, so what appears now should be Wu Mingche’s general’s flag, but in the flames of Nanchen’s army not far away, it is indeed the banner with the word Xiao.
In other words, Xiao Mohe is still commanding the Nanchen army now, so where is Wu Mingche?!
"That old thief Wu Mingche is still in Luliang?!" A general reacted first and couldn't help but exclaimed.
Wang Gui nodded and raised the whip in his hand: "You see, the reason why Dao Yi's attack was unexpected is because most of them came lightly armed, and even among the infantry, only sword and shield bearers carried shields.
There are no big shields or heavy shields to withstand arrows, let alone the fleet of baggage accompanying the army."
Although Nanchen's baggage camp was completely evacuated before Wang Gui's army arrived, when the army marches to fight, not all things are placed in the baggage camp, including enough troops to support it for several days to prevent emergencies - especially
The most representative impact of the attack on the Baggage Camp is that Nanchen's Baggage Camp has retreated, but it does not mean that all Nanchen's baggage and equipment have been withdrawn. These things are most likely still behind.
The leader of this team's retreat was naturally Wu Mingche, who was rumored to be ill and who had not shown up during tonight's melee.
As for why Wang Gui mobilized his troops to search north, the purpose is naturally clear and simple. As long as they can find Wu Mingche and this army, it will definitely be a great achievement for Wang Gui and the others, whether it is to inspire military morale.
The blow to Nan Chen was no less than the outcome of the battle just now.
The Northern Zhou cavalry flew quickly into the darkness. In the vast darkness and mountains and forests, the Northern Zhou cavalry, who had recovered from the tragic defeat just now, was pulling out a dragnet, ready to catch all the enemies who appeared at any time.
However, Wang Gui was not anxious to look into the darkness. After all, it was easy for the Northern Zhou cavalry to deal with a clumsy baggage team. As long as they could find them, it would be equivalent to their death sentence. Now compared to finding the cavalry led by Wu Mingche,
A baggage team, and more importantly, the movement of Nanchen's army.
If Xiao Mohe returns to the army in a hurry, it will prove that Wang Gui's guess is correct, and Wang Gui is confident that he can hold Xiao Mohe back until the baggage team led by Wu Mingche is eliminated. But what worries Wang Gui is that
, Nanchen's army just stopped there and had no intention of coming back to stop Wang Gui.
It seemed like they were just watching a play, watching a play with only Wang Gui as the actor.
Wang Gui frowned. Xiao Mohe's military tactics had always been treacherous and difficult to predict, which was clearly different from Wu Mingche's steady military tactics. Wang Gui also admitted that he had not done much research on Xiao Mohe before - after all, Wu Mingche was still here.
Wang Gui never expected that Wu Mingche would completely hand over the command of the army to Xiao Mohe.
Therefore, Wang Gui was always in the disadvantageous position of being restrained by Xiao Maha in tonight's melee, until he was finally defeated. And now Wang Gui did not dare to figure out in detail what Xiao Maha meant by standing still.
Is it because he wants to confuse them, or Xiao Mohe doesn't care about the life and death of this baggage team. Or maybe Wu Mingche is actually in the army... But if Wu Mingche is in the army, then Nanchen's army will not
As for stopping, you should roll up your sleeves and walk away.
What's more, Wu Mingche's illness is not a secret. The sentinels of the Northern Zhou Dynasty have already investigated this matter clearly. With Wu Mingche's physical condition, it is possible to command the battle from behind. Naturally, it is unthinkable to follow the army to kill.
Tonight, all the armies in Nanchen were in rapid movement. Even the infantry groups and the Chinese infantry groups wandering around the periphery were actually constantly changing their positions to confuse the Northern Zhou army.
This is definitely unbearable for Wu Mingche's body.
Wang Gui took a deep breath and tried his best to prove that all his previous guesses were correct, but...
At this moment, a bright arc rose into the sky from Nanchen's army, and the eyes of countless people converged on that arc at the same time.
After a while, another arc rose from behind the mountain.
"That's..." The Northern Zhou generals were a little surprised and looked in the direction completely opposite to what they were paying attention to before.
Wang Gui suddenly changed his face and stretched out his hand to hold his chest. His vision went dark, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, splattering on his armor in spots.
"General!" the guards exclaimed and rushed forward, reaching out to support Wang Gui who fell from his horse.
He stretched his hands and tried his best to grab the sky, but in the end he couldn't catch anything. Wang Gui smiled miserably and murmured: "Lüliangshui, Lüliangshui!"
Behind the mountain, it is the Luliang River that flows to the camp where the Northern Zhou army has been razed to the ground. However, now there is not a single soldier of the Northern Zhou army on the bank of the Luliang River. Everyone's attention has been drawn to the launch of the Nanchen army.
The direction of the hill to attack.
After all calculations, Luliang water was leaked after all!
The sound of drums sounded, and all the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty turned around in surprise. On the sparkling Luliang water, one after another, temporary bamboo rafts were speeding downstream along the river. Some of the bamboo rafts were carrying baggage.
Some of the vehicles carried war drums and soldiers' armor, while a large red flag danced on the leading bamboo raft, with the word "Wu" fluttering on it, catching everyone's eyes.
"Thank you, General Wang, for opening the door and seeing me off!" The drumming stopped, and all the soldiers on the bamboo raft said loudly at the same time, and some naughty people even saluted the Northern Zhou army in a serious manner.
The water fence that had not been built before was easily knocked open by the bamboo rafts, and the bamboo rafts disappeared quickly under the gaze of the Northern Zhou army.
