Chapter 66: Raid

Li Xinchen was stunned for a moment, then turned around and arched his hand: "The kid is not sensitive, the people of the mountains and the wilderness, the name of the district, what is the governor of the capital, Li Xinchen is." ”

"Li Xinchen?" Wu Mingche muttered and repeated these three words, as if he wanted to chew the name to pieces.

After thinking about it, Li Xinchen still added: "My father is Li Cheng." ”

Wu Mingche's cloudy eyes flashed suddenly, and he looked Li Xinchen up and down again, and smiled slightly: "It turned out that after the 'Shixing Gun King', he admired the name of Lingzun for a long time, and Emperor Gaozuwu often mentioned it to us when he was alive, but I regret that the Gun King followed General Chen Qingzhi to the north back then, and there was no news." I didn't expect to see the descendants of the Gun King today, which is a blessing. ”

It was unclear whether Wu Mingche's words were more real praise and admiration, or more praise out of courtesy, and Li Xinchen didn't dare to say more for a while. And Wu Mingche slowly turned around and waved his hand: "No wonder, the one who can enter Xiao Yuanyin's eyes must not be mediocre, but the old man was too careful before, child, you go." Tiger father has no dog, your father's spear was famous back then, I hope you don't insult your father's prestige! ”

Li Xinchen took a deep breath and bowed deeply at Wu Mingche.

Only then did he realize how valuable the intangible property Li Cheng had left him.

Listening to the footsteps that gradually disappeared behind him, Wu Mingche turned around again and picked up the candlestick on the table, walked to the map step by step, looking at the situation of the enemy and the enemy on the map, Wu Mingche shook his head slightly: "The old man has been fighting on the battlefield all his life, and finally it is time to be powerless." Xiao Yuanyin, the rest is up to you. ”

In the candlelight, Wu Mingche's face and the intricate outline on the map flickered and dimmed.

"Quick, brethren, work harder to tie up this barrage before sunrise to-morrow!" In the rushing waters, a shirtless general shouted. Torches were raised one by one to illuminate the entire banks of the Luliang River, and the soldiers who were almost dressed like him were shouting and carrying logs.

The Lvliang water is still flowing downstream, but above the Lvliang water, a large scale and guarding the road is showing its rudiments, and in the center of the camp, a "king" flag is dancing in the wind.

In the Lvliang water, there are constantly soldiers holding trouser legs to carry the materials used to build the camp, and the entire Luliang River has become a busy construction site.

"Boss, you said those islanders just watched us build a camp?" A soldier looked curiously at the commanding general beside him.

The general glared at him: "You kid talks a lot!" ”

However, he seemed to be in a good mood, and then said: "Don't say that they know that we are building a camp here and cutting off their back road, even if they do, what can they do, everyone is about the same, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack here, and there is a general in command, are you really afraid of those eggless islands?!" ”

As soon as the general's foul mouth burst out, it immediately caused the surrounding soldiers to laugh. And the general waved his hand: "Laugh at anything, hurry up and work for Lao Tzu, when this water village is built, those islands will really have no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground!" ”

The soldiers hurriedly agreed, but before they could continue their work, an exclamation was heard on the shore, and a sharp-eyed soldier also roared, and stretched out his hand to the upper reaches.

A light appeared in the darkness at some point, and it was like a ghostly fire, but soon countless lights swallowed this light into the sea of light. The blazing torches were dotted like stars, then joined into lines, and then joined into faces, and the whole darkness was shrouded and ignited by the light of the torches.

The entire Luliang River instantly fell silent.

"Shimayi!" An abrupt shout shattered the eerie silence.

The sound of horses' hooves rose from the ground, and the figures that jumped out in the flickering light of the torches appeared in the eyes of all the Northern Zhou soldiers. At this time, most of the Northern Zhou generals also reacted, and shouted and commanded the soldiers around them to pounce.

The hooves of the war horses stepped heavily into the water, countless splashes burst out, and there was a loud shout among the cavalrymen with torches, all the torches were thrown aside at the same time, and the cavalrymen neatly drew out their blades at their waists and raised them violently, and in the darkness under the light of the distant fire, a handful of bright people flashed with a terrifying cold.

"Kill!" Xiao Shilian roared angrily, and crashed into the panicked crowd first.

The Southern Chen cavalry that followed him was rolling like a rushing tide, and the Northern Zhou soldiers who were suddenly attacked by the cavalry were already in chaos. At the same time, in the darkness on the shore not far away, the Nanchen army of the brigade also launched an attack on the unfinished camp of the Northern Zhou Dynasty from all directions.

The lance pierced the chest of one of the Northern Zhou generals, who stared at the young enemy in front of him with wide eyes, and grabbed the barrel of the gun behind the lance with both hands. Xiao Shilian roared, and the barbs on the horse's mallet cut off the general's arm. And Xiao Shilian grabbed the horse lance with both hands and slammed it directly on the soft underbelly of the general, who unwillingly spurted out a mouthful of blood and slowly poured it into the water, blood kept coming out of his corpse, dyeing all the cold river water around him red.

Xiao Shilian raised the horse lance in his hand fiercely, and blood sprayed on his body and face, making the young general sitting on horseback look even more hideous. The elite cavalry brought out by Xiao Maha roared behind Xiao Shilian and rushed forward, rolling like a tide, while the Northern Zhou army was collapsing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This is the most elite cavalry team that Xiao Maha can handle, and it is also the trump card that Nan Chen relied on to win the two Luliang battles before.

However, both Xiao Maha and Xiao Shilian, who led the army, knew very well that although the cavalry was powerful, it was not omnipotent, especially when their opponent was still a long-established general like Wang Liang. The reason why cavalry can play the role of surprise is that they can break into the enemy camp before the sentinel sends back the alarm, but naturally there are also disadvantages, once the cavalry assaults in front and the foot soldiers lag behind, it is easy to be surrounded and strangled by the enemy who has the advantage of strength by relying on cavalry alone.

A cavalry that loses its speed advantage is equivalent to losing its greatest reliance.

"Quick, quick and quick!" Xiao Shilian's voice was a little hoarse, and he ordered the generals who followed him.

The number of Xiao Maha's cavalry is actually not much, it is only more than a thousand people - of course, it is already a rare cavalry assault force for the Southern Dynasty, which has always lacked war horses, so there are only generals in the army, and most of them are from the Xiao family, and this cavalry can actually be regarded as Xiao Maha's private soldiers to a large extent.

This is one of the reasons why this cavalry can often show combat power beyond ordinary people's imagination.
