Lantian, the army of Guanzhong has always gone out from here to fight in all directions.

The terrain here is open, suitable for the garrison of large armies, and for a long time, it has also formed a large and small scattered military villages, but this is definitely not an easy place to defend and difficult to attack. On the contrary, the open ground was just right for the army to move forward, and while it was not a nightmare for the defenders, it was definitely not a good place.

Therefore, this is also why after Wuguan was broken through, Chang'an was really in no danger to defend, after all, with Shangluo and Lantian these places, there was no effective blocking for the attacking side that was overwhelming.

When Liu Bang entered the customs, he also drove Chang'an for a long time after entering the Wuguan, and there was no hindrance.

And now that Xiao Shilian reined in the war horse, he could already see the outline of the Lantian camp.

The continuous camp was completely empty at this time, as if waiting for a new owner.

And Wei Xiaokuan's army has little left, and it looks like 20,000 or 30,000 people, which should be the only remaining soldiers and horses in the Lantian camp and after Wei Xiaokuan has restrained the defeated army.

Wei Xiaokuan continued to send troops and horses, and finally crossed the trench on the south side of the Lantian camp before Xiao Shilian, and lined up along this trench.

"Governor!"

Huang Wan and Lu Guangda both rushed to Xiao Shilian's side.

This battle was fought happily, with a smile on his face, and Lu Guangda looked at the array laid by Wei Xiaokuan in front of him again thoughtfully.

Xiao Shilian said in a deep voice: "Do you think we can still fight?" ”

This time, Huang Wan's voice also became cautious: "The subordinates thought that they should advance cautiously, now the army is running wildly all the way, exhausted, and Wei Xiaokuan's hands still have at least tens of thousands of troops left behind in the Lantian camp, if we attack directly, we may not necessarily take advantage." ”

And Lu Guangda next to him also echoed: "Now our follow-up baggage has not caught up, if we attack rashly, without the help of trebuchets and bed crossbows, I am afraid that even if we can break through the enemy's defense line, it will be difficult to break through the enemy's camp." Even if Lantian has no danger to defend, Wei Xiaokuan, Gao Xi and Liang Shiyan, they should not dare to take a step back. ”

For them, after Lantian is Chang'an City, and there is really no way to retreat.

Huang Play and Lu Guangda actually kept the same, which made Xiao Shilian a little surprised, but he seemed to be happy about it. Because this shows that these generals of the Han Dynasty have gradually matured, and they are no longer just pursuing a happy victory.

"Shall we go or stay?" Xiao Shilian then asked.

"The subordinates thought that Lantian was still going to fight, so we relied on this place to set up camp, since this trench can be a barrier for the enemy, it can naturally be our barrier." Huang Wan said decisively, "If you retreat to Bailuyuan or even Shangluo, it is inevitable that the enemy will come back." ”

"But that means we'll have to take a longer road for supplies and baggage," Lu Guangda said, "and there's a good chance that our flanks will be exposed to Wei Chi Yuan's attack and will have to be defended." ”

Xiao Shilian smiled bitterly, in fact, he is not worried about Wei Xiaokuan now, how the father and son of Wei Chi and Wei Chi Kuan are planned is what Xiao Shilian is most concerned about. It is very likely that His Majesty's father-in-law and his wife-in-law will not let go of this great opportunity.

In fact, Wei Chi Hui is also Xiao Shilian's father-in-law, just half a year ago, Xiao Shilian accepted Yu Chikuan's youngest daughter as a concubine - Li Li'er is certainly not quite unreasonable, and the Xiao family is still counting on Xiao Shilian to be able to spread the branches, so as the eldest woman, she only wants to sit in this position, and she really can't take care of anything else, and even takes the initiative to help Xiao Shilian Zhang Luo. So Xiao Shilian can also be regarded as the son-in-law of the Captain Chi family.

And for the family members of the Wei Chi family who are in that situation, this is obviously a very good choice, at least it is better than being given to a cat or dog at will, or even thrown directly to the Teaching Division.

But Xiao Shilian can't guarantee that the old man will give this face.

"Report!" At this moment, a sentry came quickly, "The enemy cavalry has been found on the north side, and the number should be around five thousand!" ”

Huang Wan, Lu Guangda and the others suddenly lifted their expressions.

Now their 50,000 soldiers and horses are mainly foot soldiers, even Wei Xiaokuan. At the beginning, almost all the Xianbei cavalry that the Northern Zhou Dynasty relied on to conquer the world were returned to Yuwenxian along with Chen Wang Yuwenchun, and it was precisely because of such a cavalry blockade that Yang Jian could not advance half a step after taking Puzhou, and he once suffered a loss outside Hangu Pass.

Of course, this is not to say that Yang Jian has no cavalry at all, on the contrary, the thousands of Han cavalry in the army and the cavalry in the hands of Yuwen Shenju, Chen Shanti and others who later rebelled, almost all fell into the hands of Yang Jian, and Yang Jian's cavalry should have at least seven or eight thousand, and more than tens of thousands.

In this field, the best way to deal with cavalry is cavalry, and using foot soldiers to deal with cavalry, especially soldiers who are tired from a long battle, is no different from looking for death.

So Huang Play and Lu Guangda both cheered up.

This is not an easy opponent to deal with.

"It seems that Yang Jian has given an eviction order to someone." Xiao Shilian spread his hands helplessly, "Then I don't have a choice." Order, Mingjin withdraws troops! ”

Lu Guangda and Huang Wan both breathed a sigh of relief, and really let them face off against the enemy's cavalry on the plain, they really didn't have the guts, let alone the need.

The Northern Zhou cavalry came very quickly, but they had no intention of attacking directly. Just by looking at the banners fluttering in the army, you can know who is coming.

The banner of the word "Yang" is waving in the wind.

There is no Yang family in Chang'an City who can be entrusted with important tasks by Yang Jian, so it is only possible that Yang Jian will arrive in person.

It is no wonder that the cavalry of the Northern Zhou Dynasty did not dare to attack rashly, because Yang Jian obviously rushed over to support his people after receiving the news of the defeat, and no one would allow him to really risk his life.

As long as it can scare off Xiao Shilian, it's fine.

Xiao Shilian gritted his teeth and looked at that group of cavalry, if he was just the commander of a partial division, then he really didn't mind competing with Yang Jian. But now he is the commander of a large army, and his enemies are not only Yang Jian in front of him, but also Wei Xiaokuan, who is eyeing him around, and even Wei Chi Yuan, who may come to intervene at any time.

In this case, Xiao Shilian can only choose the most secure method.

It can be said that Yang Jian's timely appearance finally temporarily preserved the Lantian camp.

But in any case, Xiao Shilian defeated Wei Xiaokuan in a real way, and completely snatched all the fields west of Lantian . Now Yang Jian should not dare to rush forward with the cavalry, and being able to hold the Lantian camp is a good result for him.

The sound of gold sounded, and the Han army slowly retreated.

And Yang Jian's cavalry also slowly followed, which was quite a gift.
