Hearing the whistleblower and asked urgently, Wang Deren became more and more irritable, his brows were tightly twisted. He was tense and paced back and forth several steps like a trapped beast, and finally made up his mind.

Humph! Grandma, now the Tang army is attacking the door. Now our army can only give them a soldier to block it, and they are going to go there even if they bite the bullet.

"The whole army quickly prepared this order outside Macheng City, and set up a formation with the enemy troops to fight them to the death!" Wang Deren gave a cold order.

"General, how did this make it happen?" A deputy general next to him came over quickly and whispered: "General, our army has been eager to retreat now. The army has no fighting spirit. The Tang army is so fierce. How can our army resist it? If the Tang army clamors to attack, our army's morale is so low. I am afraid that even one force can't handle it. It's better to defend in the city and wait for support..."

"Bah! No reinforcements!" Wang Deren said coldly, and said, "I don't know what you mean. However, now that the Tang army is coming far away, if our army dares not respond to the battle and only dares to retreat, they will be able to see through the truth of our army. Our army's bluff, on the surface, wants to attack, but in fact, the plan to retreat will be completely seen through. At that time, the Tang army will fight hard to attack, and our army will be in danger of being wiped out. Even if the Tang army does not attack the city for the time being, if they have a heavy army to siege the city, will we have the chance to retreat again? Therefore, I decided to go against the way and simply leave the whole army and fight to the death with the Tang army. Doing this way will make the Tang army doubt and dare not act rashly. In this way, if we can persist until dark, I will have his own way to let the entire army evacuate Macheng and return to Wuchang.

Seeing this deputy general and the people around him, they were still full of doubts. Wang Deren looked around everyone, sighed, and said, "Everyone, since ancient times, there has been no perfect thing to do in wars. Now, the actions of this general are a last resort. As for whether such a behavior can be seen through by the Tang army, it depends on the will of heaven. Please don't worry too much, and just follow the arrangements of this general."

When everyone heard what he said, although they were helpless, they could only bite the bullet and bowed their hands and responded: "Yes, please give the general order."

"Okay, please listen to our military orders..."

Soon, according to Wang Deren's military order, all his 50,000 troops left the city and set up a battle formation outside Macheng City to face the Tang army that was strode forward.

At the same time, among these soldiers who came out of the city, a large number of young and strong people were quickly recruited, placed behind the formation, filled with people, and posed flags, making a look of strong troops and crowds. From a distance, the scale of their formation was nearly twice that of the Tang army opposite.

The chief general of the Tang army, Zu Dabi, saw from a distance that the enemy troops of Wang Deren actually left the city to welcome the city and lined up with the city to fight against himself. He was shocked.

Especially when he saw that the enemy's formation was still very large, with nearly twice his own number of troops. He was originally very eager to fight, but he was very suspicious, but the drunkenness on his head was half awake.

Wang Deren is not afraid of the momentum of our army. He really dares to go out of the city to fight. His formation is so grand, which makes him open his eyes. Could it be that this guy really has a large number of reinforcements that gives them the courage to fight our army to the end?

Although Zu Dabi was sturdy, he was not a brave but not a scheming person after all, and his mind was quite meticulous. Seeing that Wang Deren's army had such a momentum, he did not dare to advance lightly before understanding the weaknesses and reality of the enemy's troops. So he ordered the entire army to strengthen vigilance, slow down the speed of progress, and ensure that the army was strict, orderly and orderly.

About two miles away from the Wang Deren army formation on the opposite side, Zu Dabi stopped the army formation and confronted each other with the Wang Deren army troops at this distance.

At this time, it is almost dusk.

The sunset gradually faded, and the originally hot weather began to cool down gradually, and the evening breeze brought a hint of coolness. However, this cooler weather did not reduce the murderous atmosphere of the confrontation between the two armies at all.

Seeing that it was getting late, the enemy's opponent was not aware of the facts and reality. Zu Dabi was anxious. The idea of ​​fighting or not fighting in his heart made him even more upset.

On the opposite side, when Wang Deren, who was originally very panicked, found that the Tang army had not moved for a long time, was secretly happy when he saw that the Tang army had not moved for a long time.

He knew that his bluffing plan had indeed had an effect, which made the Tang army, fearing his own military force, dare not attack directly, and the goal he wanted was finally achieved.

Wang Deren looked at the dark sky, and estimated that the Tang army would not dare to attack now, so he would probably retreat after dark, so he instructed his subordinates to take advantage of the current confrontation opportunity to transport the weapons and food in the city to Wuchang, so that after dark, he could just withdraw Wen's army.

Wang Deren used a huge formation as a cover and arranged a large number of logistics auxiliary soldiers to evacuate the city's food, grass and weapons. The evacuation to Wuchang was done in an orderly manner, and the Tang army commander Zu Dabi could not see the enemy general Wang Deren had such a trick.

As the sky got late, Zu Dabi became more and more anxious.

At this moment, the messenger sent by Liu Guoneng, the mayor of the Sixth Town of the Tang Army, rushed into the formation.

"General Zu! General Zu! General Liu has an order. Now the enemy is moving in a strange way and the enemy situation is unclear. The general must guard the camp strictly and not fight without authorization."

The messenger, who had run away and was sweating profusely, took out a letter soaked in sweat from his arms and hurriedly handed it to Zu Dabi.

Zu Dabi's face was very complicated. He opened the letter and looked at it roughly several times. The anxiety and shame in his heart were hard to describe in words.

Damn, it's so fucking embarrassing!

This time, I led all my troops to fight against Wang Deren's army. If the two armies confront each other, I could only lead the troops to retreat in shame, and this face would be too great. In the future, I would be afraid that I would not be able to raise my head because of this.

A cool breeze blew, and Zu Dabi burped a long time, and his heart surged over his head.

Damn it!

Wang Deren is not a man with three heads and six arms. I am afraid that he will be beaten, so I will beat him. What else can I do?

What's more, it's going to be dark now. If you don't hurry up and fight, you'll have no choice but to fight when it's dark. By then, you'll have to retreat in shame.

Humph, such a fighter cannot be missed.

I must fight him. If there is any mistake at that time, I will go to Liu Guoneng to explain it in person. I will take a step back and say that if I really lose this battle, I will be fine if I give this three-pound head to Liu Guoneng.

Thinking of this, he took a long breath, waved his hand vigorously, signaling the messenger to retreat first. After the messenger retreated, he stared at the blood-red eyes and ordered the entire army: "Grandma, you don't turn back! We are all men with great strength, so there is no reason why this army retreats without fighting before the battle! Follow my order, the whole army continues to attack!"

"Get orders!"

"Listen, our army will first fire a volley of artillery, then attack the muskets, then fight head-on with the enemy, and finally the rampant general and the cavalry will encircle the two wings of the enemy. In short, everyone will do their best in this battle to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!"

"I understand below!"

After giving the military order, Zu Dabi still had a red face, and a sneer flashed across his face. He said with a whisper: "Well, how about the enemy's power? So what if there are more troops? In my opinion, no matter how many of them are, they are just rats who come to give their heads. For more than half a year, we have been idle and we should see blood today. Listen to you, try to kill the enemy and make more contributions. To win fame and fortune, we will fight here and move forward!"

"go ahead!!"

Soon, in the Tang army that had been silent for a long time, the war drums rumbled, the flags and the army moved like walls, and the soldiers of the army shouted slogans and advanced to the enemy army formation opposite in an extremely orderly and neat manner.

At this time, when Wang Deren, who heard the Tang army's formation suddenly had a drum of war, continued to push himself directly. Wang Deren, who was originally proud of his own military force and dared to retreat quietly while the darkness was shocked.

Damn, I didn’t expect that Tang Jun hesitated for a long time and dared to come!

Now that the Tang army is coming to attack, what should we do?

Do you really have to bite the bullet and fight against the Tang army in the face of the situation?

In this case, will the soldiers and horses of the army with low morale and no fighting spirit, as well as the young and strong cities behind the formation who have no combat experience, really have the ability to fight against the brave and elite Tang army's long-term battle army?

Wang Deren quickly denied this idea in his heart.

No! Absolutely not!

The morale of the Fang army is so sluggish that it is already forcing us to stand here. As long as we really fight with the Tang army, we may be exposed immediately or even collapse immediately. It is very likely.

Wang Deren raised his head and looked at the sunset that was gradually sinking. A hint of ruthlessness flashed across his face.

Humph, in the plan, I can only lose my car and protect my handsome guy!

Now, we can only use the front army and a group of cavalry as a cart that can be discarded to block the Tang army's attack. Let the main force of the central army be the commander who can be protected, quietly retreat with him, hoping to take advantage of the battle between the front army and the Tang army and the dark night that is about to fall, so that the main force can quickly escape back to Wuchang. Even if this battle achieves strategic goals, these front army and cavalry, who are victims, will be considered worth the money.

As for the young and strong people in the city behind the formation who were used to support the scene, they were pure cannon fodder and victims. Anyway, these people were summoned temporarily, and they would not feel sorry for even more deaths.

If you are kind and do not control the army, you will break it if you should break it.

"Transfer our military orders, and we will hold the front army and cavalry to defend the defense line together to strictly prevent the Tang army from attacking. The main force of the central army will retreat immediately in preparation for another battle! Those young and strong people in the city will still stay behind the formation and wave flags and shout to help the momentum, and do not retreat without authorization."

"This..., please do it!"

Wang Deren retreated with the central army, but his heart was filled with indescribable sadness.

Dear brothers, don’t blame me for being cruel. This situation has changed too much. In order to protect the main force, I really have no choice but to use this strategy to lose the car and protect the coach!

The sunset was gradually fading away in the distant mountains, Wang Deren led the main force to retreat in a hurry, while the Tang army's formation continued to push forward.

Soon, the thirty heavy dragon beating guns of the Tang army were pushed to the front by the gunners gritting their teeth. As soon as they were in the drowsy twilight, they began to urgently fix the cannon stand, load gunpowder, calculate the elevation angle and distance using the gun torque, and quickly prepared.

The commander of the Tang army artillery team who commanded the artillery fire, held up the red flag in his hand high.

"preparation!"

"put!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

...

In the dull and dusk, thirty heavy dragon striking cannons fired, and white choking smoke filled the air. Among the remaining flames of the muzzle like the flying red silk cloth, thirty black dragon striking shells weighing thirty-two pounds, like the fist of the god of death, whizzed out of the cannon chamber, and passed through the long roar in the air, and rushed straight to the opposite left army formation.

The hot shells, with a sharp roar, burst into the left army formation in an extremely powerful and cruel manner, plowed out straight and bloody artillery paths. Wherever the shells reached, limbs flew across, internal organs splashed, blood splashed, and screamed repeatedly. The left army that touched them was either dead or injured, and immediately completely lost its combat effectiveness.

This round of volley shots caused more than a hundred left-wing soldiers and young and strong people in the city. Although the casualties were not large, such absolutely terrifying death and power immediately caused the enemy to panic.

However, although the soldiers in the front of the Left Army were panicked, the degree of chaos was controllable. However, the young and strong men who were temporarily pulled from behind were suddenly bombarded by such fierce artillery, and the formation was in chaos. Many people were scared and wailed and threw away the weapons and flags in their hands, like a group of panicked little rabbits who turned around and fled back in a hurry.

It's not that easy to run!

The chief general Wang Deren had long expected that the young and strong might be bombarded by the Tang army's artillery, so he made arrangements in advance.

That is, he arranged a large number of cavalry as a supervising team. When these cavalry saw these young and strong people fleeing, they immediately rushed forward and slashed and slashed and ordered them to return to their positions quickly.

The young and strong people in the city who fled in a hurry were slashed and killed by the ferocious left cavalry. The rest of them were afraid of the sharpness of swords and had no choice but to return to the formation.

After the Tang army's artillery round was completed, the originally stopped formation continued to move forward. At the front were three thousand musketeers holding a fuska Lumi gun.

At this time, the sky was dizzy and the sunset was gone. Zu Dabi estimated that his musketeers could only fight for one or two rounds at most, and they would be unable to release them because of their obstruction of their eyes. Therefore, he did not let the musketeers line up into the common three-stage attack formation, but instead ordered them to line up into two long columns, playing neatly drum beats, and pressing towards the opposite left army battle formation, and soon reached the best range position.

"preparation!"

"put!"
Chapter completed!
