In the end, relying on the walls of the old city and the Tariq for a decisive battle, this is what Eugen called 'positional warfare'.

As soon as Allen and the others heard this way of fighting, they immediately had a sudden sense of enlightenment, indeed, relying on such a small change, it was equivalent to expanding the strength of the Long Xiang Army six times out of thin air, and they could continue to strike at the enemy.

Relying on the powerful power and range of the new muskets, this tactical strategy is completely achievable.

After understanding the specific strategy, Alan and the others did not hesitate, and immediately began to set up the defense line, and waves of soldiers were sent out into the new city of Lebor City, using wood, stone pillars, various farm tools, carriages and other messy things to build a defense line that was difficult to pass through.

Crates of ammunition produced by the First Iron and Steel Plant were also sent to these lines and placed in a place where they could be accessed at all times.

Simon has been training the soldiers of the Longxiang Army with all his strength in the past two days, teaching them the ideas and specific methods of positional warfare, fortunately, this is not a profound military theory, and more than 100 soldiers of the Longxiang Army quickly mastered this new way of fighting, and the only thing lacking is practice.

Just like Tariq's army, negotiations for a hostage exchange had not yet begun, and Eugen's side was ready for battle.

The food conditions of the Long Xiang army and the city guards have been raised to a higher level, in order to keep the soldiers' physical condition at an optimal level before the big battle.

In the midst of this tense atmosphere, finally, the next day arrived as scheduled.

The sun rises slowly over the eastern horizon, shining through the clouds, first as a cool white light, then as it turns a bright red, and over time, finally becomes a white light shining on the earth.

Mountains and rivers, stone walls cast elongated shadows, shadows gradually changed from longer to shorter, and the sun hung high overhead.

At ten o'clock, a group of soldiers slowly walked out of the city of Leber, and walked towards the desolate avenue ahead, where there was not much shelter around the road, except for a few dry trees with branches on either side.

The soldiers in the team were all on horses, and Eugen rode in black and gold, wearing a gold and red armor, and the crimson cloak was blown by the wind and floated to the side of his body.

Eugen's eyes were solemn, his lips were pursed, and his eyes were straight ahead, and he walked forward without hurry.

He was followed by a row of twelve soldiers, all of them heavy cavalry, with thick steel armor draped over their bodies, and there was a strong sense of power just standing there.

Now the strongest class under Eugen is the Dragon Army, but if you only look at the surface, the heavy cavalry looks more formidable.

And he didn't want to expose the existence of the Dragon Troop Army in front of Tariq for the time being, so he brought some heavy cavalry as his escort.

Among the twelve heavy cavalry was a man bound by ropes, who was being pulled and staggered forward, and this man was none other than Izzat, the son of Duke Billund.

Eugen hadn't mistreated him these days, but he had lost a lot of weight compared to the past, and his face was between blue and white, and there was not much blood.

The group walked along the avenue towards the Saxon barracks in the distance, and the agreed exchange point was closer to the barracks in Tariq, and it was agreed that the number of people on both sides could not exceed twenty.

There is a wilderness near the exchange site, and it is impossible to ambush any soldiers, but after all, it is still dangerous to come into close contact with the enemy.

Before Eugen set off, Maria and Margaret firmly disagreed with Eugen going in person, and Alan even rode directly on the horse, saying that he would take on this task.

Eugen insisted on going, however, Corleone was one of the first vassals to follow him, and he should have personally intervened in this matter anyway, and besides, if he did not go, he would lose some prestige, and the soldiers would not be willing to be loyal to a weak lord.

These days, as the burden on Eugen's shoulders has become heavier, so has his struggle between life and death.

The threat of exchanging hostages this time was nothing to him at all, and he had come over many more dangerous incidents than this, and it was not bad this time.

In the end, Maria and the others could not change Eugen's mind, and in desperation, Alan had to arrange for all the dragon army to be stationed at the edge of the new city, led by Simon himself, once something happened during the exchange and threatened Eugen's safety, the dragon army could immediately be dispatched to provide support for Eugen.

On the other side, Corleone was escorted out of the Saxon barracks by two Saxon soldiers.

Tariq rode ahead, flanked by the big black bear, and also carried a small group of twelve soldiers, who, unlike Eugen, led twelve light cavalry.

Corleone walked forward a little dazed, not understanding where Tariq was going to take him or what to do.

He doesn't care about those now, anyway, everywhere is a death, and people have this advantage, that is, no matter what happens when they are alive, they will die one day anyway, and the poor, the rich, the good, and the sinners will all have to die when they should die.

He was not afraid of death, he was just bored with himself until he died, and he didn't find the truth.

After walking forward for a while, Corleone vaguely saw a group of people approaching him, and as the distance got closer and closer, he finally saw the appearance of those people on the other side, and his heart suddenly jumped.

He vaguely had some guesses, but he couldn't believe it, just like a poor man who had bought a lottery ticket for 20 years, and suddenly won the jackpot one day, he had to hold the lottery ticket in his hand and confirm it many times before he could truly believe it.

The two sides got closer and closer, and Eugen's figure was like a mountain slowly moving from a distance, and the closer they got closer, the more Corleone couldn't breathe.

Corleone's mind seemed to have set off one after another eighteen-level typhoons, which made him unable to think clearly at all, and even his facial features became no longer clear, and the whole person was dragged forward like a wooden man.

Finally, the two sides stopped at the enemy, which was about 200 meters apart.

At this distance, if Eugen leads the Longxiang army, he may be able to directly kill Tariq and end this war.

It's just that if they do it, the other party will never be able to guarantee the safety of the hostages, so Eugen didn't think about it.

"Hehe, I can't imagine that the legendary coward Eugen would dare to come to me in person!" The two sides stood still, and Tariq said arrogantly, his tone full of sarcasm.

In the matter of the verbal battle, Eugen was not afraid of anyone, and he immediately responded with laughter: "Hahahaha, you are right, I am indeed a coward, afraid of many things, and what I am most afraid of is a piece of standing in front of me and talking, it is really terrifying!" ”
