"Catch up with them!" Li Zhongwei rode his horse and galloped forward, and the Northern Zhou cavalry behind him rolled up puffs of smoke and dust in the wilderness.

This Han cavalry has been in Fufeng for a long time, and in desperation, Li Yan can only let his son Li Zhongwei bring a team of men and horses to expel him, otherwise the arrangement of Fufeng's Northern Zhou soldiers and horses will not be so clean that the enemy will be clean.

These Nanban are very cunning, as long as they can grasp the slightest weakness and mistake, they may be defeated, and the previous battle of Qizhou is a very good lesson. And because of this, Li Yan also changed his tactics, the army entrenched in Fufeng resolutely did not go further, but only swept the Nanban sentinels swimming in the field with cavalry, as long as they could cover the ears and eyes of the Nanban, then naturally the Nanban would not be able to sit still, and there would be the next big move.

Anyway, Li Yan lost nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses at once, and he didn't keep Qizhou, so he really didn't have the courage to directly compete with the Han army.

"Major General, we can't pursue forward any longer, be careful of deception!" Another general who led the team stopped Li Zhongwei.

Li Zhongwei restrained his horse and watched the group of Southern Barbarian cavalry flee, so he could only snort angrily. This is what his father told him when he was about to go out, and now everyone in the Northern Zhou Dynasty soldiers and horses is precious, so there must be no more losses, everything must be careful. They've been chasing them a long way away, and if they do fall into the trap, they'll be in trouble.

Li Zhongwei turned the horse's head: "Let's go!" ”

And he didn't know that the group of Southern Barbarian cavalry in the distance also stopped when they saw Li Zhongwei and them leaving.

Hou Mi raised his eyebrows: "This group of rabbit cubs is still a little self-aware." ”

"Boss, if they don't be fooled, won't we work in vain?" A lieutenant next to him said with annoyance.

"We were meant to harass the enemy, and if we could achieve our goal." Hou Mi waved his hand, "Let's go, let's go in another direction and play with the other Zhou scouts, I don't believe it, there must be so many fools, right?" ”

The soldiers laughed and rode their horses to keep up with the Hou Mi.

——————————

"Daddy, these Nanban are too arrogant!" Li Zhongwei rushed into the council hall in three steps and two steps, and the horsewhip in his hand slapped heavily into the hands of the guards next to him.

Li Yan sat on the top, was drinking tea by himself, heard Li Zhongwei's voice, and said lightly, "No matter how arrogant Nanban is, he hasn't attacked the city yet, what are you anxious about?" ”

Li Zhongwei was speechless for a while, and Li Yan put down the teaglass, strode to Yutu, and said worriedly, "Now the old man wishes that these damn Nanban could hurry up and attack, but he just sent a team of cavalry to harass him every day, I don't know what they want to do?" ”

"It's just that these guys don't seem to be so easy to deal with," Li Zhongwei said helplessly, "They don't entangle us at all, but once our scouts go too deep, they will soon be intercepted and killed, and they won't be able to spy on any news at all." ”

Li Yan frowned slightly, the current situation is indeed a little weird, these cavalry of the Han army are divided into squads and wander back and forth in the field, they don't seem to care how much news they can find out about the arrangement of the Northern Zhou army, they seem to be more inclined to take the Northern Zhou scouts around, so both sides are undoubtedly blind, Li Yan does not know the movements of the Han army, but it should be difficult for the Han army to know the arrangements of the Zhou people, right?

Could it be that they are pinning their hopes on the scouts who are ambushing in the city? After all, the previous Chang'an Rebellion has shown that in the large and small cities of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, there should be many Han army eyeliner.

But now under Li Yan's control, the entire city defense is tight inside and outside, and it seems that the army is just training and preparing for war as always, but in fact, the elite led by Li Yan's personal guard is making every effort to investigate the possible Han army in the city, even if these people can't detect it because of the depth of lurking, but at least they should be able to avoid passing on some vital information.

So Li Yan didn't know what Han Baohu on the other side was thinking about.

Unless they're not going to attack Fufeng anymore······

Thinking of this, Li Yan's hand suddenly trembled.

If they don't attack Fufeng, if they don't attack Fufeng, where will they be?

Now in the entire Guanzhong, what else can attract their attention besides Chang'an City? Obviously, Tongguan, Puban and Wuguan are not realistic, and only ······ are left

Li Yan's gaze continued to the northwest along Fufeng, and he secretly screamed in his heart.

Maybe the enemy's real target is Liang Rui in Xiao Guan. Of course, Li Yan also knew that Xiao Guan's weakness was behind him, once the enemy bypassed Fengzhou, Xiao Guan was really like a little girl blocked in the corner by two big men, and she no longer had the ability to resist.

And Li Zhongwei looked at his father's expression and was a little strange, "Daddy, but what's the problem?" ”

"Have you seen anyone other than the Nanban cavalry these days? Especially the enemy's foot soldiers. Li Yan asked in a deep voice.

Li Zhongwei immediately shook his head: "In the past three days, the child has only seen the cavalry of the Southern Barbarians, is there any problem?" ”

Cavalry has always been the backbone of an army's operations, and Yu Wenxian was able to pull up a main force that could compete with Yang Jian in a short period of time, because he had Xianbei cavalry in his hands, and the Han army could break the Turks in the northwest before, also because of the cavalry's attack. Especially when fighting in this field, the importance of cavalry is self-evident.

This is also why Li Yan has not doubted the matter of the Han cavalry for a long time. After all, who would leave the cavalry alone to fight and cover, and the infantry brigade to advance as the main force of the forward? It's a bit of a tyrannical feeling.

Therefore, at this time, Li Yan realized that he had indeed made a mistake.

Maybe Han Baohu didn't use these cavalry as scouts, but left them behind, and the real main force of the army had already been safely transferred behind the defense line artificially formed by the Han cavalry, although the Han cavalry was not entangled in the battle, but once the Northern Zhou scouts were too deep, they would definitely not let it go, because they needed to work hard to cover up the truth that the army had left!

Li Zhongwei was also from Jiangmen in the end, and after pondering what he just said, he also realized what "Daddy, this is ······ Nanban uses the cavalry to break the rear and the foot pawn as the vanguard, is it putting the cart before the horse? ”

"As long as you can achieve your goal, why put the cart before the horse?" Li Yan said in a deep voice.

And Li Zhongwei frowned: "Then what direction should the enemy go now?" ”

It seemed that it was really to answer Li Zhongwei's question, and a scout quickly rushed into the lobby, "Report, general, Fengzhou is in an emergency!" ”

Li Yandeng shivered, if it wasn't for Li Zhongwei stepping forward in time to help, I'm afraid he would have fallen to the ground softly.

Pigzhou!

The enemy's target turned out to be really Xiao Guan!
