For several consecutive days, no matter what tactics and tactics Zhang Zhongming used, he could not get close to the Yulin city wall and threw the grenade onto the top of the city...

Just as the two armies were surrounding Yulin County and fighting fires continued, the 20,000 troops commanded by Sun Chengzong himself surrounded him outside Yulin City with lightning speed.

If there is a city wall for protection, coupled with the tens of thousands of grenades accumulated by Zhang Zhongming, even if it cannot stop the attack of the Tiger and Leopard Army, it can still cause heavy casualties to the Tiger and Leopard Army reinforcements in the battle...

However, Zhang Zhongming has no city wall to guard.

If he didn't enter this way, Zhang Zhongming and the remaining 40,000 soldiers were still trapped in the front and back attacks of the Tiger and Leopard Army...

Just when Zhang Zhongming was irritated and stomped in a meeting at the simple command center to vent his panic and anxiety.

One of the Qiang General, who commanded all the scouts under his command, rushed in quickly.

Before Zhang Zhongming had time to speak, General Qian reported impatiently: "General, you have found out...what is surrounded by the Fifth Army of the Tiger and Leopard Army, with two musket divisions, one cavalry division, and one heavy artillery regiment... a total of 20,000 troops, all equipped with powerful new muskets and artillery, with very powerful combat power..."

Even the two thousand elite Tiger and Leopard Army soldiers who have city walls to defend are not inferior to them, let alone the 20,000 elite...

The first moment after listening to the report, Zhang Zhongming thought of breaking through and retreating.

So, Zhang Zhongming asked without thinking...

"How is the situation around now... Do we still have a chance to break out..."

Zhang Zhongming was disappointed. After asking, a hint of helpless expression from the bottom of his heart flashed across Mr. Qian's face.

However, after Zhang Zhongming's questioning, he still answered...

"General, the last general has checked all the retreat routes around. All the retreat routes have been arranged by the Tiger and Leopard Army. There are at least two battalions, and there are also many artillery..."

"Is there no way..." Zhang Zhongming asked with disbelief.

Then, Zhang Zhongming, with a solemn expression, seemed to have thought of something, and continued to ask President Qian...

"No, you just said that the Tiger and Leopard Army only arranged heavy troops on our retreat. They did not arrange troops in all places... If we don't follow the official road, we will not be able to intercept the Tiger and Leopard Army..."

Mr. Qian's eyes lit up first, but it didn't last long before it was replaced by Xuan Ran again...

After shook his head, he replied: "General. If you don't walk on the official road, you can indeed ask the heavy troops of the Tiger and Leopard Army to surround us... But if you don't walk on the official road, it means that we must give up the war horses and all supplies...

Zhang Zhongming, who knew that he could not be an opponent of the Fifth Army of the Tiger and Leopard Army, did not hesitate on this issue for too long...

After taking a deep breath, he made a very decisive decision: "It's decided that giving up the war horses and baggage is better than all the soldiers of Shu Yan who died here in battle... As long as people or the army are in hand, we can still come back stronger..."

Zhang Zhongming said this, but she knew better than anyone else.

After the Tiger and Leopard Army reinforcements arrived in Shaanxi, it would be more difficult to grab food and equipment from Shaanxi again than to climb to the sky.

However, at the critical moment when the soldiers under his command had been counted, Zhang Zhongming could only use these words that could fool ordinary soldiers and encourage everyone's morale...

Although Zhang Zhongming had made a decision, he was rational and did not immediately issue a breakout order.

As a veteran who has been through the battlefield for a long time, Zhang Zhongming knew very well that no matter how careful he was, he would never make the army break through silently...

And this means that shortly after the army breaks through, the purpose of the war horse supplies and breaking through the small path will be completely exposed to the Tiger and Leopard Army.

At that time, the Tiger and Leopard Army will not miss this opportunity to seize the opportunity to kill and eliminate the soldiers under its command who have not yet broken through.

To put it more clearly, even if you decide to break through, under the gaze of the 20,000 tiger and leopard army, you can only successfully break out part of the siege... Therefore, Zhang Zhongming must make a choice among all the troops under his command...

Which troops followed them to break through, which troops stayed behind to break through, while confusing the Tiger and Leopard Army, were finally destroyed by the Tiger and Leopard Army...

Therefore, Zhang Zhongming, who made the decision to break through, fell into deep thought...

In order to understand the battle situation faster and better, Sun Chengzong directly arranged the command center on a mountain ridge. Although he could not see the entire battlefield clearly, most of the battlefields could still be seen.

As the night shrouded the land of Shaanxi again, the three division commanders of the Fifth Army also returned to the command center with anticipation and heat on their faces...

"Captain, the three regiments of our cavalry division have been arranged in place... As long as the battle begins, the three regiments of cavalry will be able to separate the riots as soon as possible, and drag the cavalry troops among the riots and destroy them..."

The Cavalry Division Commander just finished speaking, and the 9th Division Commander rushed to answer...

"Commander, our five musket battalions have blocked all retreat passages on both sides of the northwest of the rebels... The other four musket battalions are all ready to attack... I promise that even if these muskets have wings, they will not be able to break out from both sides of the northwest..."

"My 10th Division is also ready for combat, just wait for your order from the commander..."

After getting the answer he wanted, a smile appeared on Sun Chengzong's serious face.

Under the gaze of three pairs of hot eyes, he spoke decisively...

"Since that's the case, then we will launch an attack on the scattered soldiers in the encirclement early tomorrow morning... At that time, the Yulin defenders will leave the city to cooperate with us... In addition, I would like to remind everyone again that although the scattered soldiers in the encirclement have no combat power, we still cannot underestimate the enemy, because they are also equipped with a lot of muskets and grenades. If used properly, they will definitely cause us great damage..."

When the Tiger and Leopard Army was staring at the riots, preparing to give them a fatal blow.

In the military camp with tens of thousands of chaotic soldiers, the eight thousand chaotic soldiers with the strongest combat effectiveness and the most well-equipped equipment had already completed the assembly under the order of Zhang Zhongming and were ready to break through.

The eight thousand soldiers, except for equipment and three-day dry food, did not bring any extra things, and looked like they were about to participate in the war.

In the eyes of other military soldiers, these eight thousand elite soldiers were preparing to participate in the war, opening a breakthrough in the encirclement of the Tiger and Leopard Army to cover everyone for a breakthrough...
