Amid the rumbling drums, tens of thousands of elite Liang troops slowly pressed from behind. Xia Long, the former general of the Tianping Army, looked gloomy and shouted loudly: "Shoot the arrow!"

With the sound of feather arrows, the group soldiers who were running back cried and fell to the ground. When these people fell down, their faces were full of unbelievable gazes. They were actually dead at the hands of their own people.

"Call to the former, die to the latter!" Xia Long said sternly.

The long sword hands lined up in an orderly line, and the big swords with cold light in their hands slashed down heavily with the sound of wind. Those who retreated, whether they were officers or soldiers, fell to the ground one after another.

"Life to the former, die to the latter!" A series of shouts spread throughout the battlefield.

The tide retreated like a tide stopped in the dense crossbow arrows and the sharp sword light. The death of their companions confirmed that the people behind them were not joking at all.

Live to the former and die to the latter.

They turned around one after another, turned their heads and rushed towards the camp ahead again.

Peng Ming looked at Xia Long's figure in the distance with great resentment, turned his horse's head suddenly, and shouted loudly: "Follow me, live to the former, and die to the latter."

His family was originally a powerful landlord in Bianzhou. His family owned hundreds of hectares of land and thousands of private soldiers. He has always been a hard-core supporter of the Liang army. He hated the Tang army because of the land policy of the Tang army. According to the arrangements made by the court in the north, his family would lose the wealth accumulated by the generations.

Therefore, when Cao Xuanzheng Group was training in command, he brought all his private soldiers, brought his own food and grass, and brought his own weapons to the army without hesitation.

In fact, the group trainings gathered in various places this time are basically similar to those of him. Unlike ordinary people and brave men, the combat effectiveness of these group trainings is still quite strong.

After the assembly, he was shocked by the scale of the Liang army this time, so he also had the belief that he would win, and felt that the Tang army opposite would inevitably be vulnerable in the face of such a huge force.

But reality gave him a hard blow.

After half a day of attack, the battlefield was filled with corpses, and the trenches several meters deep were filled with corpses. But the Tang army's camp was still standing in front of them.

Their retreat was not because of fear. Peng Ming believed that all the regiments who took the lead in the attack proved their bravery to Cao Xuan, but they also needed to rest, and also needed to eat, drink, and rest to accumulate strength to attack again.

They came to fight against the Tang army voluntarily, and they came for their own property and their own glory.

But it is obvious that the current situation is that Cao Xuan treats them as disposable consumables and wants to use the lives and blood of everyone here to pave a bloody road to open the Tang army camp.

He couldn't understand why this was the case.

Wouldn't it be better to let them rest and then launch an attack? What are the benefits of letting them spend in such a battle for the future? If he does this, will someone come to help them in the future?

Amid all the confusion, Peng Ming, with his remaining troops, roared and rushed towards the Tang army camp again.

They have no choice.

Go forward or you can still find a way out.

Cao Xuan was very calm on the surface, but deep down he was also extremely bitter.

He is not only a general, but also a governor who once governed one side. Naturally, he understands that he is now killing chickens to get eggs. After this battle, if he wins, he still has a chance to soothe people's hearts. If he loses, the Liang army will lose more than just territory.

But he had no choice, because he had just received the news that Huang Fengya's right-wing cavalry had failed. Now there was just trying his best to delay, leading Chen Changping's cavalry to pursue them.

If Huang Fengya's failure was still as expected, he was shocked by another military situation. A Tang army cavalry, who was not as expected before, suddenly appeared in the Madian, less than 80 miles away from Changyuan.

And that cavalry was the famous Ranger in the Tang army sequence.

Eighty miles, for the Rangers, they will arrive in half a day at most. If they cannot take down the Tang army camp before dark, this battle will be completely defeated for them.

No matter how the battle was achieved on Xu Chong's side, they all failed in general.

He must take down the Tang army camp in front of him and wipe out nearly 20,000 young and strong Tang army infantry inside.

Now he has given up the attacks from the north and south, leaving only cavalry surveillance, and concentrated all his strength to the west, using piles of dead bodies to fill in human lives. Even if he has ruined all his lives of more than 20,000 young and strong regiments here, he will do whatever he wants.

He had fought with the Tang army many times and was still scared of the Tang army's crossbows, sting oil bombs and other weapons. He made these regiment trainees rush forward, consumed the opponent's supplies, and tried his best to exhaust the Tang army. This was his only thought at this moment.

Even if the 20,000 pigs stand in line and let the Tang army cut, they will be exhausted. What's more, the combat effectiveness of the 20,000 regiments currently train in the current 20,000 troops is really good.

"The central army moves forward and beats the drums to help!" Cao Xuan ordered.

Cao Xuan's loneliness forced the Liang army to launch wave after wave of decisive attacks on the Tang army camp like crazy. Li Rui's pressure was getting heavier and heavier. If the opponent did not attack the north and south, it did not mean that he could completely give up the defense in these two directions, because the Liang army's cavalry had been upstairs in these two directions and would come up to harass him from time to time. Once they found an opportunity to take advantage of it, they would inevitably turn the virtual into real. Therefore, although some of the troops were drawn away, he still maintained considerable strength in both north and south directions.

At this time, Cao Xuan's main force still did not move. He was a total of 20,000 elite!

"Integrate the young and strong, and reach the front line!" After thinking for a while, Li Rui said: "Take turns to replace each team into the second level of defense."

"General Li, if you are young and strong, you will be afraid that there will be a lot of casualties." A military officer whispered: "These people have only received limited military training."

Li Rui pointed to the Liang army training opposite and said, "Look at the opposite side. If our main force cannot get a rest and is captured by Cao Xuan, can these young and strong people survive? Tell them that today, either you die or I die. If you want to live, go and fight to the death."

Joining the army was silent for a moment, and turned around and left as if flying.

The Tang army began a large-scale rotation, and teams of young and strong men took their weapons and rushed to the front line. The withdrawn troops entered the second level of defense, seizing all the time, eating, drinking water, treating, and resting.

The large-scale rotation immediately shook the Tang army's first line of defense. Even though these young and strong men had the will to fight, their combat abilities and skills were far from comparable to those of the soldiers.

Half an hour later, the first line of defense was broken through many places. With Li Rui's order, the entire first line of defense was completely abandoned. The withdrawn Tang army retreated into the second line of defense in the camp.

But this was something Liang Jun did not expect.

They did not expect that the Tang army actually set up a second line of defense in their camp.

Compared with the first line of defense, the entire Tang army's defensive position was suddenly reduced by half.

Peng Ming limped to Cao Xuan with a spear, and blood dripped all the way down the road. As the first regiment to break through the Tang army's defense line, his courage was naturally seen by everyone.

"Master, we have done our best. There are 1,120 men in Pengjiazhuang, and now there are only 123 people left. I really can't fight again. Please allow us to retreat and rest." After throwing away the spear, Peng Ming knelt down before Cao Xuan with a loud bang.

Cao Xuan's face looked a little ugly. He originally wanted to continue to drive these people to attack. But at this time, looking at the gazes of the generals around him, Cao Xuan had to put away his thoughts.

You can't force you anymore, otherwise not only will these regiments train and mutiny, but other generals will also feel sad. After all, they are now governing not only their own balance army, but also the Xuanwu Army. Peng Ming and other regiment leaders not only know these Xuanwu Army, but many of them are relatives and friends.

"Thank you for your hard work in the training of the Pengtuan, I have seen all your courage." He stepped forward and helped Peng Ming up in person, "You have completed the task. Next, let's see ours!"

Hearing this, Peng Ming breathed a sigh of relief, his legs became weak, and he fainted like this.

"Come here, help Peng Tuanjian to rest and find a doctor to treat his injuries." Cao Xuan said loudly.

When Peng Ming was carried away, Cao Xuan glanced at the generals around him, and his eyes finally fell on Xia Long: "Xia Long, you will be the main attacker next."

If we drive the generals of Xuanwu Army again, we are afraid that these people will feel disgusted. In the battle to break through the first line of defense, all the people who die will die. Even in Cao Xuan's eyes, everyone is now grasshoppers on the same rope, but in the eyes of others, they may not always see it this way.

Therefore, for the sake of the overall situation, he can only send his own balance army. This is also a balance that must be achieved.

The Tang army was not unable to defend and were repelled, they retreated voluntarily. Cao Xuan saw this clearly, which could be seen from long-range weapons such as those powerful crossbows that they were calmly taken away. Although they did not take it away, they removed the most critical components. These big guys who still stood on the first line of defense are now useless for Liang Jun.

The smaller the defense circle, the stronger the resistance. Of course, the greater the blow they will suffer.
