Lu Chen's sword was unsheathed, and with an order, more than a dozen war drums were beaten at the same time, under the heavy hammer, the rhythm was neat, and the drum sound was exciting and exciting.

"Boom! Boom! Knock knock knock—"

In the Central Plains, marching with drums is an unchanging military order for the ages.

"Kill—"

In front of each phalanx, the sound of the generals' swords unsheathed came and went.

"Kill—"

The wind sergeants in the front row instantly raised their halberds, and then began to charge forward in unison.

After the first row of soldiers had taken two steps, the second row of soldiers picked up their halberds.

Then the third row......

For a while, on the plain outside the city, the black-pressed wind army began to rush to the city like a tide.

Lu Chen fought hard, and the 800,000 wind army he created was much more ferocious than the previous Central Army of the Wind Country! Especially the Pingzhou Army, which fought all the way from the desolate land, was even more brave and good at fighting!

On the battlefield, once the military order is issued, all its soldiers are not afraid of death and move forward bravely! If you don't hear the sound of gold, you will definitely not take a step back!

I thought that after the city walls collapsed everywhere, the Zhang army would divide its troops to defend those big openings, but when the wind army charged under the city wall, not only was there no one to defend the city, but there was no one in the gaps.

In the city, the banners of the Zhang army were thrown everywhere, and the 150,000 Zhang army, at the moment when the first city wall collapsed, had already been assembled by Tang Cheng for the first time and began to retreat to the east collectively.

Tang Cheng is not stupid, he knows very well that the city wall collapses everywhere, and it is impossible for his side to resist the wind army anymore, and if he starts a street battle with the wind army in the city, the local people will definitely help the wind army, and when the time comes, the 150,000 people on his side will not even have a place to hide, I am afraid they will all have to be explained in the city.

Rather than annihilating the entire army here, it is better to abandon the county town as soon as possible.

How big a county is, it is equivalent to a provincial capital, and during the siege, the doors and windows of the people in the city are also closed, and the streets are empty.

At this time, Tang Cheng was taking countless soldiers and soldiers of Zhang and went straight to the east city gate.

"Throw away all the baggage! Hurry up! The Wind Army is about to be killed! Hurry up for Lao Tzu—"

Under Tang Cheng's repeated urging, Zhang Jun lost everything he could throw away except for armor and weapons, and the sound of chaotic footsteps filled the streets.

After he finished urging the soldiers below, Wang Dong, who was following him, hurriedly stretched out his hand and gently pulled his clothes, looking like he wanted to say something and stopped.

"What's wrong?" Seeing this, Tang Cheng couldn't help frowning and asked.

Wang Dong first swallowed his saliva, and then said cautiously: "Lord Tang, Feng Jun...... The Feng army attacked Hedong this time, and of its 600,000 troops, 400,000 were infantry troops, and the other ...... It's 200,000 iron horsemen......"

"These 200,000 cavalry, for the wind country's tiger army, its department is led by the wind country general Wu Yue, the speed is extremely fast, once in the wind and civil strife, overnight, hundreds of miles, captured the entire Wuyang County, every time it attacked, it was like a raging wind raging through......"

"What!?" When Tang Cheng heard this, he was shocked.

Wang Dong then said: "Lord Tang, after the Wind King Lu Chen enters the city, when he sees our army retreating eastward, he will definitely send Wu Yue to lead the cavalry to pursue, and with these 200,000 iron horsemen, even if our army is fast, I am afraid that it will not be as fast as Wu Yue's war horse!" ”

Hearing this, Tang Cheng swallowed his saliva fiercely, he looked at Wang Dong and said, "This ...... Finished! It's over, it's over! Lord Wang, it seems that you and I, together with these 150,000 soldiers, will die here......"

When Wang Dong heard this, he rolled his eyes and said, "Hey? Don't worry, Lord Tang, there is a plan below, which may solve the worries at the moment. ”

Seeing that he was still selling Guanzi, Tang Cheng immediately said impatiently: "Oh, my Lord Wang, when has this happened, what plan do you have, don't tell it quickly." ”

"Set fire to the city!" Wang Dong said word by word.

"What!?" When Tang Cheng heard this, his eyes immediately widened, he stared at Wang Dong, and said in a frightened tone: "Lord Wang! Do you know that there are hundreds of thousands of people in this city......"

"Huh!" Wang Dong sneered, and said ruthlessly: "In this city, there are all the people of the Wind Country, they are lowly people, their lives are like ants, let alone hundreds of thousands, as long as we can let our army escape the pursuit of the Wind Army, such a pariah is a million, two million, what is ......it?"

Grunt! Tang Cheng swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and hesitated a little.

Seeing this, Wang Dong hurriedly urged: "Lord Tang! Now is not the time for a woman's kindness! We're running out of time! While the wind army has not yet chased after it, let's hurry up and give an order! A fire burned down the entire county town of Hedong! With such a huge city, the fire will last for three days and three nights, and then our army will be able to retreat with all its body, withdraw to the territory of Zhangguo, and join up with the reinforcements......"

"But in this way, this huge city will be destroyed in one fell swoop, and more importantly, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the city...... From now on, how will the people of the world view our Zhangjun and how will they view our Zhangguo......"

"The nations are vying for hegemony, fighting for years and years, and there are millions of corpses! Could it be that using these hundreds of thousands of untouchables of the Wind Country to exchange the lives of my 150,000 Zhang soldiers for the lives of my 150,000 Zhang Army soldiers is not worth it!? What's more, our army has retreated, and it has been declared that Hedong has been lost, such fertile land, since I can't get it, before leaving, I will destroy Hedong County! At that time, Wind King Lu Chen, what will be recovered will be a devastated mess! Wang Dong said more and more anxiously.

"But ......"

"Oops! Lord Tang! What else could it be? ”

"Oh......"

"If Lord Tang doesn't give an order, it's really too late!"

"Hey!" Tang Cheng was urged by Wang Dong repeatedly, and in the end, he gritted his teeth fiercely and said, "If you want a big fire, you have to ...... oil."

"The people in the city, every household, who doesn't have this thing?" Wang Dong said quickly.

"Okay!" Hearing this, Tang Cheng turned his heart sideways, and immediately shouted to the herald soldiers beside him: "Go!" Order all armies and all officers and men to stop withdrawing east......"

Wang Dong is right, Zhang Jun still has 150,000 troops, if he deliberately sets fire to the whole army and moves up and down, even if one person throws a jar of fire oil, in an instant, this big city can be turned into a sea of fire.

And Wang Dong's plan to set fire to the city is undoubtedly extremely vicious.

At that time, although the nations fought against each other, there was never a matter of burning down the entire city, not to mention that there were hundreds of thousands of helpless civilians in the city, and most of them would be killed in the fire when the fire broke out.

And how big is a county town, and I don't know how much gold and silver it will cost to build such a big city......
