Late at night, outside Guangde City, in the camp of the Xuanzhou Army. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Tian Yan looked tired, walking around the big tent with his hands behind his back, his tall and thin body looked lonely and lonely under the reflection of the flickering candle flames.

On the case, the latest news from the scouts is side by side.

Among these news, there were two that he cared about the most, one was that the Huainan cavalry led by Yang Wu had completely defeated Guo's division, and Zhang Jiasheng's division, which was sent from Xuanzhou to meet Guo's division, had also surrendered to the enemy. This news meant that the reinforcements from Wuhu he was counting on would never arrive.

However, compared to this news, another news he had just received shocked him even more, and even made him feel a little chilled. Runzhou, guarded by his old buddy An Renyi and his new ally Zhang Hao, was broken by the Huainan army led by Wang Maozhang in less than a month.

According to the news of the scout, the Huainan army used demon magic, as if it had triggered the wrath of the heavens, and in a huge roar, the wall of Runzhou collapsed, and the defenders who were caught off guard were frightened by the sudden change, and no one dared to resist the attack of the Huainan army. In just one day, Runzhou was completely occupied.

He no longer cares whether An Renyi and Zhang Hao are dead or alive, what he cares about is what weapons Huainan used to make the city wall collapse. Sorcery? He didn't believe it at all. However, since the Huainan Army can make the city wall of Runzhou collapse suddenly, there must be a way to make the city wall of Xuanzhou collapse, which is what he is worried about.

In addition to Huainan's "demon law", another thing that made him uneasy was that since Wang Maozhang had broken through Runzhou, it meant that the Huainan army under his command could go south to join Yang Wu at any time.

Outside Guangde City now, Tian Yan's side can still have a little advantage in terms of strength, but if Tian Yan can't defeat the opponent as soon as possible, when Wang Maozhang goes south, he will have no hope at all.

Now that the situation is urgent, how can we defeat Yang Wu before Wang Maozhang goes south? How can he defeat Yang Wu while also minimizing his losses, so that he still has the strength to deal with the upcoming Wang Maozhang?

For these two questions, Tian Yan had been thinking about the camp for a whole day, when his face turned black, his legs were weak, and his whole person seemed to be floating in the clouds, not knowing how to deal with it.

He really wanted to immediately lead his troops back to defend Xuanzhou, pinning his hopes on the enemy's secret weapon had been used up, but he also knew that even if the secret weapon of the Huainan Army had been used up, the so-called long-term defense would be lost, and there was no hope of sticking to Xuanzhou, so he had to fight and defeat Yang Wu as soon as possible!

Tian Yan thought about it for a long time, but never thought of a good way to break the enemy in one fell swoop, and finally decided to write a letter to Yang Wu and let the messenger bring it overnight.

Tian Yan was originally a brother with Yang Xing, and he was Yang Wu's uncle, but in the letter, he did not hesitate to lower his posture and expressed his admiration for his repeated outnumbered battles but consecutive victories, and admitted that he was inferior. Later, it was mentioned that now that the strength of the two sides is close, Yang Wu is invited to come to Japan to fight to the death.

"I wonder if Yang Wu will take the challenge? If Ben Shuai would definitely not accept it, he must be waiting for Wang Maozhang's reinforcements to arrive. But fortunately, Yang Wu is back, and now the Huainan Army must be commanded by him, if it is commanded by Tai Meng, that old guy will definitely not accept the war letter. But Yang Wu is possible, during this period of time, he has won consecutive battles, and young people will inevitably be a little arrogant, and they should accept the challenge of Ben Shuai, right? Perhaps this is also the only hope for Ben Shuai to defeat the Huainan army before Wang Maozhang arrives! Tian Yan thought to himself.

Opposite, in the camp of the Huainan Army.

Yang Wu arrived in the army this morning. These days, the Huainan army led by Tiantai Meng and Tian Yan's Xuanzhou army fought many times, and both sides had their own victories and defeats. When Yang Wu rushed back, it happened that the two sides were fighting, and Hou Zan led the cavalry to launch a surprise attack to catch Tian Yan off guard, but the cavalry of the Huainan Army came from afar after all, exhausted, and although they won, the actual results were not great.

At this time, Yang Wu and Tai Meng were discussing the next military situation, and suddenly an envoy from Tian Yan came and presented a letter from Tian Yan.

Yang Wu asked the messenger, and then opened Tian Yan's letter to read, and then said to the messenger with a smile: "I thought that Tian Envoy Jun sent you for what purpose, it turned out that he asked you to send the challenge book." Then you go back and tell Tian Yuanjun, and say that the war book will be accepted, just as he wishes, and he will fight to the death tomorrow morning. ”

"The prince must not fall for Tian Yan's tricks, now the initiative to fight or not to fight is in me, General Wang has conquered Runzhou, as long as he leads the army south, we will fight with Tian Yan again, and then the victory will be more certain." Tai Meng was shocked and hurriedly dissuaded.

He asked for Tian Yan's letter from Yang Wu, but after reading it, he became even more opposed, saying that it was difficult to determine the victory or defeat of the battle now, and even Tian Yan had a greater chance of winning, and advised Yang Wu not to agree to Tian Yan's war letter.

"What General Taiwan said is reasonable, and I ask the prince not to agree to Tian Yan's war letter!"

"Yes, as long as we stick to the camp and don't come out, after General Wang leads the army to join us, the 30,000 army is enough to defeat Tian Yan in one fell swoop. Why did the prince bother to fight Tian Yan at this time? ”

Other generals like Mi Zhicheng and others didn't react at first, they only felt that since Tian Yan was going to fight, they would fight him, but after listening to Tai Meng's words, they also woke up and spoke out to dissuade them.

Yang Wu glanced at the messenger and said with a smile: "Don't worry, since this general joined the army as a general, which time has he not defeated the enemy army with outnumbered enemies?" Guo Shicong and Zhang Jiasheng had 8,000 soldiers, and the generals were completely wiped out with only 1,000 cavalry. Now there will be 16,000 troops, and Tian Yan will only have 17,000 people, so even tomorrow's decisive battle will definitely defeat him in one fell swoop. Why should the generals worry? ”

"How can the prince compare with Guo Shifu and Zhang Jiasheng's generation with Tian Yan, Guo Shizi is just an incompetent waste, but Tian Yan is a veteran general who has fought for many years, and the prince must not be underestimated!" Tai Meng and other generals were shocked, and they wanted to dissuade Yang Wu.

Yang Wu was also a little impatient, and shouted: "You don't have to say more, the general is the boss, here the general has the final say, and the generals must obey the general's orders." Ben has already decided to fight tomorrow's decisive battle, and those who say more will be severely punished! ”

After this period of conquest, Yang Wu's majesty in the army became more and more heavy, and he didn't necessarily speak and be kind on weekdays, but at this time, as soon as he became stern, the generals suddenly felt his majesty, and couldn't help but be secretly frightened, and immediately didn't dare to say more.

But all the generals were a little shocked and uncertain on their faces, not knowing why Yang Wu, who has always been resourceful, was so arrogant and assertive this time, and everyone had some worries on their faces, thinking that Yang Wu might be proud of his repeated victories.

"Alas, the prince is such a celestial figure, he has not tasted defeat since he led the army, and in the end he still has the heart to despise the enemy. Maybe tomorrow's battle will make him taste defeat and make his arrogance less, and I just hope that tomorrow's battle will not lose too much. ”

Yang Wu didn't care what the generals thought, and immediately wrote a reply letter for Tian Yan's messenger to bring back, and agreed on the time of tomorrow's decisive battle.
