Defend Nanyang? Or retreat to Luoyang? Should we fight to fight to the decisive battle or preserve our strength? There are several ways in front of Yuchi Jingde and others, but none of them are willing to choose. Defend Nanyang with Xu Ziling's ability, the Xuanjia Hu Ben was mostly surrounded by food and was surrounded and even if he broke out, he would probably suffer heavy casualties. The best strategic place to retreat to Luoyang, Nanyang, which was struggling to capture, was completely handed back to China.

Nanyang, the champion can attack and retreat with two cities in hand. It is the best place for Li Tang to expel the Chinese army and pacify the north of the Yangtze River. Once the concession is made, it will be a sham to rule and divide the world with the Chinese army.

At the same time, there are two worries about retreating to Luoyang: First, the Xuanjia Tiger Retreats into Luoyang not only greatly damaged its reputation, but also the iron cavalry is useless. Ears and Ears and Scouts will make it difficult for Luoyang to understand the movements of the Chinese Army. Second, Luoyang is in the Huzhuo, and if the Chinese Army cut off its retreat path behind, tens of thousands of Li Tang troops will be trapped in the giant city of Luoyang alive.

Yuchi Jingde and Kedazhi's opinions are different from those of Luo Shixin, Shi Wanbao and Liu Dewei of the three masters of Tiance.

The idea of ​​Xu Ziling's army counterattack Yuchi Jingde was to attack the Song family's soldiers head-on, and the Liang army and the Chu army fought to the death. Although there were many soldiers in the Chinese army, their morale and training were far inferior to those of the previous Chinese army. As long as the Xuanjia Hu Ben could defeat them in succession, the Chinese army would definitely lose all their fighting spirit and no longer pose a threat.

Ke Dazhi's idea was to retreat to Luoyang to preserve his strength. Now, Nanyang, the two champions were isolated from outside Luoyang and were unable to rescue and rescue, even if they were surrounded, they would have a dilemma. However, under the stalemate, the Chinese army was obviously more beneficial than the Li Tang army. They gathered the power of the southern cities to fight against Nanyang's champions and the two cities had no people and no food to occupy the city, and it was more difficult to defend...

The three heroes of Tiance were extremely opposed to retreating to Luoyang and they felt that the most necessary focus was on defending Nanyang. The reason was that once they were evacuated, the Xuanjia Hu Ben, who was disabled in bloody battles, would definitely die under the butcher knife of the Chinese army. Because the Xuanjia Hu Ben was forced to kill horses for food in the previous period, the Imperial Guard, who had no food, was now escorted by nearly 10,000 steps to join the horses. The comparison between the number of horses was less than one-third. If the Chinese army was allowed to chase them all the way while evacuating, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The Xuanjia Tiger and Ben are only slightly better than the elite troops of the Imperial Guard.

Nanyang is also extremely difficult to form a battle formation, and the pursuits of the Chinese army are harassed by the scouts along the way. It is very likely that they will retreat and be blocked. Xu Ziling's pursuits are surrounded and finally trapped in the wilderness.

Luo Shixin and the others mean to strictly guard Nanyang and fight attributable war with the Chinese army. It is now the cold winter that snow falls and water turns into ice. The expedition of the Chinese army is definitely the most painful thing. The soldiers of the Chinese army are not steel. They are not in a uniform army and are not trained enough. It is absolutely impossible for them to stay in the ice and snow for too long... As for the Xuanjia Hu Ben and the Imperial Guardian within two or three months, it is impossible for the enemy to successfully capture Nanyang. During this period, Xuanjia Hu Ben is waiting for reinforcements with leisure.

The soldiers in Luoyang had too many miscellaneous commands, but they definitely listened to Li Shimin. So only tens of thousands of soldiers came to support him when the imperial edict was at least tens of thousands of soldiers, even if they were unable to fight, they were more than enough to escort food.

Every opinion has something feasible and appropriate. Yuchi Jingde's idea is active but the risk is the greatest. If the army is defeated, it is the time for the Chinese army to turn over. Ke Dazhi's idea is the most cautious and conservative but the risk is the least. Luo Shixin, Shi Wanbao and Liu Dewei's opinion is the most moderate and plain, and he will not leave the city or retreat to occupy the city. He intercepted all Xu Ziling's strategies and conspiracies outside Nanyang City. As long as he gritted his teeth and defended hard, no matter how many Chinese army members could play tricks. As long as the Luoyang army could come to help, the chance of victory would be retained in the hands of Li Tang.

Pang Yu could not give any good advice, any idea seemed to be feasible, any idea seemed to be within Xu Ziling's calculations. He had this feeling that no matter what Li Tangjun could not escape Xu Ziling's plan.

He led a team of scouts north to rescue Wang Junlang stationed in Luoyang overnight and was preparing to arrive in person, and asked Li Shimin to send another Xuanjiahu Ben to the south. No matter how many soldiers the Li Tang army recruited, the new army was far from being well-trained veterans... Xuanjiahu Ben has always been fighting with the most difficult troops in the Chinese army, which was seriously injured and urgently needed to replenish his vitality...

Xu Ziling is here.

He came far faster than Yuchi Jingde imagined. The next morning after the scout received the letter from Feige, when Pang Yu had just left the Champions City, the Xuanjia Hu Ben, who had just left the Champions City, had just been transferred back to Nanyang, he arrived overnight with a light cavalry. Looking at the thin and exhausted two thousand cavalry and nearly a thousand gathered scouts under the city, Yuchi Jingde gritted his teeth and refused to send troops out of the city to attack.

Now you can have to worry about food and grass for at least two months.

The city was much better than a battle of backwaters that was burning and storming. Yuchi Jingde and the generals were sleepless all night and finally decided to defend Nanyang. Seeing Xu Ziling hurriedly led his troops to Yuchi Jingde and felt that his vest was cold. If he was sure to withdraw troops in Luoyang, Luo Shixin and his guess would probably become a reality.

The leader of the Chinese Army, who had defeated countless powerful enemies, dared to ignore the Xuanjia Hu Ben, who had only two thousand cavalry, rushed to intercept the attack overnight. Yuchi Jingde looked at the Chinese Light Cavalry who was randomly placing tents and lazy to eat barbecue. He exhaled long and tried his best to endure it before pressing the desire to go out of the city to attack.

This must be Xu Ziling's lure into the enemy!

Two hours later, another cavalry appeared in the northern part of Nanyang, led by swordsman Ba ​​Fenghan and Yin Xianhe. The appearance of this light cavalry with only one thousand cavalry led to a cold sweat. The generals of Li Tang were sweating coldly. The Xu crazy man actually sent a thousand light cavalry to go in front and blocked him, and he really wanted to force Xuanjia Hu Ben to retreat to Luoyang and chase him along the way.

Another half an hour later, a strange scout wearing a black robe and a black cloak appeared.

They stepped on the strange slid and held a pole under their feet, slid on the snow with one pole on their hands. When they saw them appear, Ke Dazhi immediately understood what was the elusive scouts of the Chinese army. In places where horses could not pass through, these strange scouts could move freely, no wonder the ten times transported grain was only the food and grass that their Imperial Army had defended heavily.

As the sharp whistle sounded, a more terrifying soldier flew down from the sky. They descended from the sky, driving huge flying wings and drifted south along the north wind. Fortunately, there were not many people who controlled the flying wings and were mostly childish teenagers...

Xu Ziling rode Weiming to inspect his scout team under Nanyang.

He looked at Yuchi Jingde and the generals in the city from afar and let the scouts leave.

The teenagers with flying wings sailed south by the wind and the black snow scouts slid into the darkness quickly. What surprised Li Tangjun on the top of Nanyang City was that Xu Ziling actually threw down the tent he had set up and went north with the sound of three thousand light horse hooves after resting.

They did not besiege Nanyang or even ignored Li Tang's Xuanjia Hu Ben and went north directly.

"Xu Ziling's goal is Luoyang!" Ke Dazhi screamed in dismay.

"It's not that this is seducing the enemy!" Luo Shixin gritted his teeth and insisted on his rationality: "As long as Nanyang is still in our hands, he cannot rest assured to siege Luoyang. The light cavalry cannot attack the city. This is definitely a trick to seduce the enemy! He wants us to attack the city and he is seducing the enemy!"

"With the current strength of the Chinese army, although the number of people is large, its true combat power is not above us. Xu Ziling is indeed impossible to attack the city immediately." Yuchi Jingde said in a deep voice: "He led the light cavalry to the north not to attack Luoyang but to clear the reinforcements heading south of Luoyang. If he wanted to swallow us, we must ensure that there was no support in Luoyang, otherwise it would be impossible to succeed. And those black-clad scouts should have searched to the place where we secretly retreated to see if we sent scouts to explore the way or if there was any intention to sneak back to Chang'an."

"The flying wing scout should be the one who is supporting the Liang army and the Chu army heads north." Liu Dewei rarely spoke, but his eyes were very accurate and could always make a word.

"Let the injured tigers rest well, it is estimated that there will be no major war within a few days." Yuchi Jingde slowed down and rushed to Kedazhi and said in a deep voice: "If the war is not going well, please break through the siege, please go north and ask the emperor to lead the tigers south. The battle in Nanyang is related to Li Tang's revival! Whoever wins and loses in China and Li Tang will fight here!"

"..." Ke Dazhi nodded silently as he watched the sky gradually fading away from gray eyes, and finally turned into an unwavering night star.

At night, the Chinese army came in a mighty manner.

The torches are like dragons and the army gathers five miles away from the city and looks for places to stand on the leewards. Once dawn, the Chinese army has built three huge wooden villages one or two miles apart. They are like three rings and are stacked together in the middle wooden fence walkway. Tents are rising from the ground, and Chinese soldiers are shouting and carrying huge trees or food and grass. They ignore the enemy in the city and are busy...

The soldiers of the Li Tang Army were often shocked by the efficiency of the Chinese army, but now they have long been accustomed to it.

It is said that the Chinese Army had a type of engineer who specially trained to build marching tents, wooden villages, floating bridges, hidden horse exploration camps and other objects, as well as the engineers who made various ordnances, who were also very respected. It is another special type of military in the Chinese Army.

King Liang Xiao Xian and King Chu Lin Shihong each walked around outside Nanyang City without making any noise and then returned to the camp.

The current intention of the Chinese army is obviously similar to the plan of siege three and one missing one. They left the Li Tang army a retreat northward to attack the morale of the Li Tang army and weakened the Li Tang soldiers' will to fight to the death. Moreover, such a dense joint camp is both safe and warmer in such a cold winter. Xuanjiahu Ben is willing to leave the city and attack the generals ask for orders, but all of them make Yuchi Jingde strictly order not to leave the city.
