Before the reinforcements arrived, there was only a desperate battle, and Zheng Xianli and Qin Jin's words were invariably less.

After the deployment of troops, the commander's task has basically been completed, and the next thing can only be seen by the captains of each battalion to implement the plan.

This is not a back-to-back battle, so persistent, just to prevent the big cannibals from winning the precedent, after all, this is the first field battle in which the two armies face each other head-on, and once the morale falls, it may plummet.

Therefore, using the mere forward battalion to fight against the main force of the Great Food Army, Qin Jin and Zheng Xianli both suffered a lot of pressure and took a lot of risks.

However, Qin Jin believes that this risk is worth taking, if only the forward battalion can withstand the main force of the Great Food Army, the morale of his own side will be boosted, and the blow to local morale will be great.

It's just that Qin Jin is not a person who only knows how to use brute force, and he also used a small trick in this frontal field battle, that is, to deploy suspicious soldiers on the rear flank of the Great Food Army, instead of showing all the hole cards.

With Mahdi's mind, even if he is eager to win, it is impossible to ignore it.

In fact, Mahdi's initial thoughts were very different from Qin Jin's expectations, and he didn't care if the base camp was attacked or threatened. But after the frontal attack was frustrated, he began to wonder if the Tang people deliberately pretended that only one of the strikers was engaged in the battle, but in fact they were hiding the main force, watching and looking for fighters, and achieving victory in one blow.

With doubts, Mahdi has more thoughts.

After all, the strength of the Great Food Army was several times that of the forward battalion of the Shenwu Army, but the forward of the Shenwu Army showed combat strength and will that did not match their strength, as if they were not hitting stones with eggs, but just a plan to lure the enemy.

After much thought, Mahdi still gave up his plan to encircle and annihilate with all his strength, and instead divided part of his forces and returned to the camp to conduct close surveillance.

It was Mahdi who had doubts, but Ge Hongye and Cui Yin unexpectedly got a chance to breathe.

On the battlefield that confronted the Shenwu army head-on, Mahdi was unwilling to withdraw too many troops, so he set his sights on the thousands of eaters who surrounded and annihilated the hundreds of remnants.

The more than 100 remnants of the soldiers were not taken into Mahdi's eyes originally, as long as the advance of the Shenwu Army was defeated, these hundreds of people were not meat to the mouth?

The fierce battle in the field of Sylvan has reached a white-hot point, and all the people involved in the fight are almost exhausted, but the trend of victory and defeat has not been revealed at all, and everyone can only hold their breath to see if the other party will vent first.

Ge Hongye staggered to his feet, his eyes staring ahead in disbelief, the big cannibal who obviously had an absolute advantage actually withdrew? Obviously, if they attack again, maybe as long as they do it half a time, they will no longer be spared.

But the world is so magical, the big cannibal actually withdrew so inexplicably.

Seeing this, Ge Hongye finally couldn't hold on anymore and sat on the ground.

The fierce battle of the night and a half had almost drained the strength on his body, and he lay on the ground and turned his head weakly, looking at Cui Yin, who was also lying on the ground.

"Brother Cui, today you and I don't die, in the future, there will be a great career in the future!"

At this time, where does Cui Yin still have the heart and energy to think about the future, his only wish at this time is to close his eyes and sleep well for three days and three nights, he is too tired.

However, he suddenly struggled to sit up, and said loudly:

"The big cannibal has withdrawn now, although for some reason, but it has finally given us a chance, if we don't run away at this time, when will we stay?"

At this moment, Cui Yin no longer cares whether the words are appropriate or not, in fact, the only right choice they can make now is to run for their lives.

Cui Yin's shout reminded Ge Hongye, and after a short period of dizziness, he also immediately came to his senses, ordering his troops to count the number of people while conveying the retreating military order.

As for where to flee, Ge Hongye unexpectedly discovered that Sylvan's small earthen city was not cared for by the big cannibals, maybe the big cannibals didn't look down on this narrow town at all.

Although Sylvan's city wall is only less than two people high, it is still a city wall after all, and it can withstand it for a while at a critical moment.

"Let's go, back to the city!"

At this time, the city of Sylvan was almost empty, and after the fire and today's fierce fighting, most of the residents chose to flee.

In this way, it was convenient for Ge Hongye and Cui Yin and others, who hurriedly fled back to the city, closed the city gate, and after counting, there were less than 100 people left who could return to the city alive, which can be described as a heavy loss.

But Ge Hongye didn't have time to be sad, but ordered his subordinates to block the city gate with earth and stones to prevent the possible battle of the Great Cannibals.

As long as the city gate is blocked, even if the enemy uses huge siege equipment to hit the gate, the city gate that is not very large and not very heavy will not move at all. Now the only thing to worry about is the city wall, and if the hundred and ten men are divided equally among the gates, only about twenty people will be left on each wall.

With such a small number of troops, hoping to resist the overwhelming attack in front of tens of thousands of * Rui is simply a fool's dream.

However, before despair comes, all efforts must not be abandoned, and the response and preparation must be done as well.

When everything was ready, Ge Hongye and Cui Yin met again.

After resting for a while, Cui Yin suddenly thought of the crux of the problem.

"It must be the Prime Minister's reinforcements that made Mahdi feel an unprecedented threat, so they gave up eating us completely!"

When he said this, Cui Yin's face didn't know whether it was a happy or self-deprecating wry smile.

Because he realized that the Great Cannibals treated them so rashly and arbitrarily, and there was another explanation, that is, they didn't take them seriously at all, and they were just a bunch of food that could be taken at any time!

Of course, the most important thing on the battlefield is this useless face, and the ultimate goal is to achieve the final victory of the battle compared to the face.

The two of them discussed the situation of the Shenwu Army's reinforcements for a while, and finally came to the same conclusion that they were not optimistic, and the reinforcements were only the forward battalion, because the firearms that the Shenwu Army was best at were not used in today's field battles, and the field battles were all Modao soldiers of Yishui.

According to Ge Hongye's understanding, only the forward battalion has this characteristic.

In the Shenwu Army, the forward battalion mainly came from the old department where Gao Xianzhi was stranded in Hebei, and after the pacification of Shi Siming, this force was incorporated into the forward battalion.

Because Gao Xianzhi was seriously ill, in order to take care of their feelings, he made Zheng Xianli the general of the forward battalion.

However, not long after Zheng Xianli took office as the general of the forward battalion, he was ordered to go out of Zhenanxi, which was a new army with firearms as an important weapon, which was not deeply transformed into this army.

Suddenly, Cui Yin felt a tremor under his feet, faintly, and there seemed to be thunder in the distance.
