However, Chunyucen also saw Lu Quangda's movements and retreated not at all slowly.
The left and right wings of the Han army retreated at the same time, and Xiao Shilian led the Chinese army to attack in time. Liang Shiyan had lost his best opportunity, so the veteran reacted quickly and led his troops to retreat in time.
The two sides once again maintained the previous confrontation, but the Han army had already crossed Lanchuan.
Xiao Shilian looked at the battle situation in front of him cautiously.
To be honest, he was a little surprised that everything turned into what it was now.
Liang Shiyan is Liang Shiyan after all. Obviously his rich combat experience allows him to clearly and accurately see the situation in front of him. Compared with Xiao Shilian's previous opponents, He Ruobi may be okay. Hou Mo and Chen Ying guarding Nanyang
Compared with Gao, who was He Ruobi's deputy at the time, he was actually more of a passionate person.
The most valuable thing about a veteran is his rich experience. Although young generals have the courage to fight and charge, without experience, they will suffer in many cases, especially when dealing with fox-like figures like Liang Shiyan.
Now these people in the Han army, whether it is Xiao Shilian or Chun Yucen, although they are young, they have also been tempered by the southern and northern wars. In addition, the experienced Lu Guangda is here, so they can make such a timely decision.
reaction, otherwise I am afraid that I will fall into Liang Shiyan’s trap.
He has always tricked others, but this time he was almost tricked by Liang Shiyan, so Xiao Shilian naturally became cautious.
He knew very well that he would inevitably have to face enemies like Liang Shiyan on the road ahead. As the big man moved forward step by step, the enemies he faced would naturally become more and more powerful. Naturally, the war would no longer be so easy.
"Beat the drums and prepare to attack!" Xiao Shilian ordered decisively.
Now that the Han army is arrayed with its back to Lanchuan, it will not be beneficial to itself if it delays, because Xiao Shilian is not sure whether reinforcements from the Northern Zhou army will be behind. Since Liang Shiyan has the courage to stop and compete with himself, then
It shows that he still has confidence. The more this happens, the more Xiao Shilian wants to make a quick decision.
At this time, under the mountain plateau opposite, Liang Shiyan looked at the Han army who had formed a cone formation, and his heart skipped a beat. Shi Wansui and Xue Daoheng next to him also frowned. Xue Daoheng couldn't help but said: "This Xiao Shilian, actually
Still have to attack”
"The number of his soldiers and horses is at least twice that of ours. Since he has the power to compete with us head-on, why not choose to defeat him?" Liang Shiyan said lightly. Xiao Shilian's adoption of such a strategy was not unexpected.
But for their Northern Zhou army, this was obviously not a good thing.
Xiao Shilian was indeed overly worried, because Liang Shiyan and the others had no reinforcements at all, and it was impossible to have any more reinforcements. Just this morning, Yuchi left Tongguan and launched a new round of attack on Huayin. Almost all the soldiers and horses of the Lantian camp were
They had all been mobilized. Even if Wei Xiaokuan changed his position from one to two, there was no way he could mobilize reinforcements for Liang Shiyan.
Even if Wei Xiaokuan did not directly order Liang Shiyan to withdraw his troops, it could be regarded as giving Liang Shiyan a lot of autonomy.
Liang Shiyan has not taken the initiative to retreat. In fact, he wants to measure Xiao Shilian's ability and see if he can weaken Xiao Shilian's power. This is somewhat of a bluff and an empty city plan. After all, if he just rubs the soles of his feet and runs away,
, of course he can escape by running, but if Xiao Shilian really catches up, wouldn't the news that the Lantian camp is empty will be exposed? What if Xiao Shilian directly attacks Lantian?
Liang Shiyan was ordered to solve troubles, not to create them.
Although the current trouble seemed to be unsolvable, he could not create new troubles.
This guy Xiao Shilian is more difficult to deal with than I thought. But then I thought about it. Of course, heroes like Li Xingchen put Xiao Shilian in this position simply because his loyalty can be guaranteed.
Dare to fight and charge has always been Xiao Shilian's strength, but now Li Xingchen has most likely figured out Yang Jian's weakness.
Yang Jian is now facing a situation of being besieged on all sides. Although his troops are compressed around Chang'an City due to the significant shrinkage of his territory, in order to deal with threats from all directions, he must also prepare his troops in formation.
Try your best to create the illusion that each front has sufficient troops.
If you want to break through this illusion, you naturally need brave and strategic generals, especially generals who dare to fight and attack. Xiao Shilian seems to be a suitable candidate.
Liang Shiyan was helpless.
Wei Xiaokuan didn't have three heads and six arms, and neither did he.
"Get ready to retreat." Liang Shiyan said in a deep voice. The Han army was getting closer and closer. If they don't leave, they really won't be able to leave. The current Northern Zhou army can no longer bear any losses. Liang Shiyan has two soldiers here.
Thousands of soldiers and horses.
Even if we retreat to Lantian, it is better than facing Xiao Shilian directly here in Bailuyuan.
"General, my subordinates, please lead our troops to cut off the rear!" Shi Wansui said decisively.
He still has the ability to judge the current battle situation.
If Liang Shiyan turned around and ran away now, and Xiao Shilian chased him all the way, the final situation might not be any better than Yu Wenliang's escape yesterday. Now the morale of the army is unstable, and retreating is obviously the best opportunity to escape.
Once Xiao Shilian is chasing after him, I don't know how many people will take this opportunity to flee.
So there must be someone who can block the back, at least for a while.
Among those present, it was impossible to count on Xue Daoheng, a scholar, and Shi Wansui was indeed the unique candidate.
Liang Shiyan was silent.
Shi Wansui had been following him for a long time and was Liang Shiyan's true confidant and right-hand man. But now that Shi Wansui was asked to carry out this almost certain death task, Liang Shiyan naturally did not want to give this order.
Could it be that after working hard for more than half of his life, he had to lose everything in the end, even his best assistant, to protect him?
"General, give the order, it's too late!" Shi Wansui said loudly.
Xue Daoheng also looked over and saw that the enemy was getting closer and closer. If Liang Shiyan did not give the order at this time, everyone might die here. Xue Daoheng was originally very dissatisfied with coming out to serve as the supervisor, but with Sui
The king's order is there and he has no choice, but this does not mean that he is ready to die in battle.
"Forget it, go ahead and take so-and-so's personal guards with you," Liang Shiyan said in a low voice, "Take care!"
"General, take care!" Shi Wansui did not refuse, but said sternly, reining in the horse.
At this time, one more person means more strength.
