Duan Wencao slapped himself in the mouth. He swore to the four heroes in Ningyang City that the white thieves would not come to save them, so surrender the city as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, Li Fengyun led thousands of men and horses from Rencheng to kill, putting on a decisive battle posture.

When the rebels in the city heard the news, they thundered with joy and their morale was unprecedentedly high.

Shuai Rentai found Xu Shiren and asked him to write a secret book to continue to discuss the surrender of Xiancheng.

"Bai Shuai has already killed, just outside the city and confronted Duan Wencao, the two sides are tense, the battle is imminent, don't say that you surrendered at this time, even if you really surrender, really open the city gate for Duan Wencao, will Duan Wencao believe it? Does he dare to enter the city? Xu Shiren was very dissatisfied and complained, "Before, you deceived Duan Wencao, attracted his attention, and helped Bai Shuai capture Rencheng, don't you know when Duan Wencao does?" Now what is the purpose of your continued deception? You don't think that so-and-so's family is held hostage by Bai Shuai, so you can drive so-and-so unscrupulously. So-and-so told you the truth, so-and-so is not optimistic about you, even if you win the battle against Duan Wencao? The more you win, the faster you will be defeated, because stronger opponents will enter Lu County one after another, and you will not be able to stop them. Also, after the end of the Eastern Crusade, hundreds of thousands of Weifu troops returned, how did you fight? What to fight? You are a dead man anyway, it doesn't matter, but so-and-so still has to plan for the future, even if he steps on two boats, so-and-so has to step on it. ”

Shuai Rentai didn't get angry but laughed, "I finally told the truth." If you have to step on two boats, why can't you step on two boats? ”

Xu Shiren looked at Shuai Rentai expressionlessly, not knowing whether what he said was true or false, for a long time, he asked tentatively, "Do you think you still have the opportunity to step on two boats?" ”

Shuai Rentai sat opposite Xu Shiren and smiled for a while, "I'm working hard." ”

Xu Shiren thought about it repeatedly, and finally believed in his old friend. Although the future shape is difficult to predict, one thing is certain, the Eastern Crusade will inevitably win, and there is really no suspense when a million army fights a small barbarian country and kills chickens with a knife. At the end of the Eastern Crusade, hundreds of thousands of Weifu troops returned, and with a wave of their hands, they could completely destroy the rebel army north and south of the Great River. Shuai Rentai may have raised the flag on impulse to rebel, but after raising the flag, he suffered a heavy setback, and it was natural to find a way back for himself at this time. It's better to die than to live, who wants to die.

"You don't have faith in this battle?" Xu Shiren asked.

"Do you have faith?" Shuai Rentai asked rhetorically.

"Duan Wencao is very passive now, if he fights a decisive battle, he will be in danger of being attacked by the enemy on his back." Xu Shiren said, "Take a step back and say, even if he wins, it will be a miserable victory, and the soldiers will be lost, so what will he do next?" Without strength, what does he do to ensure the stability of Lu County? ”

Shuai Rentai nodded repeatedly.

Xu Shiren hesitated for a moment, and then tentatively said again, "At this moment, if you can help him, the boat of the Beihai Duan Clan will be stepped on." ”

Shuai Rentai smiled and shook his head, "Bai Shuai's trust in us is very limited. Although he kept his promise and went to Ningyang City twice in a row to rescue us, he knew very well in his heart that once he defeated the official army and rescued us, in the case that the battle situation was very favorable to the rebel army, the alliance would inevitably cease to exist, and we would all leave, and he would lose his troops and lose strength because of the rescue of us, and he would not be able to annex us, so he could only let us leave. So Bai Shuai's psychology at the moment is very contradictory, whether he attacks with all his strength depends on whether we cooperate with all our might. He asked us to go out of the city and attack Duan Wencao's back after the decisive battle began, so that we could flank Duan Wencao back and forth. It is indeed possible to defeat Duan Wencao with this strategy, but the premise is that not only will Bai Shuai's Cangtou army bear heavy losses, but we will also suffer heavy losses. Our casualties are too great, and our strength is vulnerable, so we have lost the conditions for independent exhibition, and we have to continue to maintain the alliance and continue to restore our strength with the help of the strength of the Cangtou Army, and in this process, there is a good chance that we will be swallowed up by Bai Shuai. ”

"That's where the current contradiction lies. If we want to get out of trouble, if we want to show alone, we must cooperate with Bai Shuai to defeat Duan Wencao at any cost, otherwise, if we don't cooperate, the problem will be troublesome. Whether it's Bai Shuai or Duan Wencao, they are all smart people, and they will never lose both, let us pick up the cheap for nothing. ”

Xu Shiren understood. The battle situation has been very clear now, Duan Wencao is indeed very passive, whether he wins or loses in this decisive battle, his strength will be sharply reduced, and Duan Wencao, who is not strong enough, will be at a loss in the face of the deteriorating situation in Lunan, so for Duan Wencao, the decisive battle must be fought, and the strength must be preserved, and no one is missing. At this time, Shuai Rentai in the city wanted to take the initiative to surrender the city, which was a help to Duan Wencao, and it was too good news to be good.

Duan Wencao miscalculated, so he was very depressed, especially when facing Niu Jinda, he felt even more embarrassed.

However, in front of interests, face is really not worth mentioning, as long as interests are not lost, face will be lost. Now Duan Wencao must protect his own interests, especially when the battle situation is unfavorable to him, and he must find ways to preserve his strength.

Niu Jinda also miscalculated. He originally thought that the white thief was going to fight Zou Cheng, and he would first sweep the battlefield on the southern front and grab the immediate interests first, so he tried his best to persuade Duan Wencao to storm Ningyang and capture Ningyang at any cost, and then he could deal with the white thief with all his might. However, the white thief didn't give him time to attack Ningyang at all, and after taking Rencheng, he killed Ningyang violently, put on a decisive battle posture, and formed a flanking attack with the righteous army in the city. At this point, the Lu army was completely passive.

Duan Wencao didn't want to fight. If you fight, you will lose both, and if you win, you will win a miserable victory, and then you will have little strength left, and you will not be able to cope with the complicated situation that will ensue.

Niu Jinda wanted to fight, but there were many concerns, one had no absolute chance of winning, and the other was that once he lost, the consequences would be too terrible. It doesn't matter if you don't care about yourself, it's a big deal to go home and farm, but Duan Wencao, who is at a critical moment, is in trouble, and his career is very likely to be stopped, which is a blow to the Beihai Duan clan and even the entire Qilu aristocratic group.

"Envoy, this battle is still fought, and you can't retreat without a fight." Niu Jinda knew that Duan Wencao had no will for a decisive battle, nor did he have the confidence to defeat the traitor, so he had to try his best to persuade, "The two armies are facing each other, and no one dares to say that they have won the battle until the last moment." Things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and even if you are absolutely sure, you may be able to turn the tide of the battle and lose the battle because of an inconspicuous oversight. ”

"In this decisive battle, we have only one real opponent, and that is the white thief." Niu Jinda calmly analyzed, "The so-called alliance is just a plate of loose sand. The reason why Han Jinluo and Meng Haigong formed an alliance with the white thieves was to use the power of the white thieves to survive the crisis and grow stronger, and the white thieves would not raise tigers to cause trouble. The trust between the two sides is limited, and they are wary of each other, and it is impossible to form a joint force at the moment of decisive battle. ”

"Envoy, we can make a deduction." Niu Jinda walked to the map and continued, "We have Xu Shiren and Shuai Rentai in the city, and with their strategies, the thieves of Han Jinluo must have a wait-and-see attitude before the decisive battle is clear, instead of actively cooperating with the white thief, after the decisive battle begins, they will do their best to kill us and attack us back and forth with the white thief." The thieves in the city watched coldly, and the thieves outside the city, of course, did the same. As far as I know, Meng Haigong is cautious by nature, and a person with this kind of character will definitely not give up his life and forget to rush to the front line at this moment of life and death, and he will also stand behind and watch coldly. ”

Duan Wencao bowed slightly and agreed with Niu Jinda's analysis. In this way, as long as the officers and soldiers do their best to defeat the white thief in the decisive battle, they can win the decisive battle. The white thief was defeated, and when he saw his allies standing aside and watching, he must have been disheartened and withdrew. The white thieves are gone, the trees are falling and scattered, and there is a group of vulnerable thieves left, who are the opponents of the official army?

"Tell Xu Shiren and ask him to work hand in hand with Shuai Rentai to fully cooperate with our army in the decisive battle against the white thieves."

At the critical moment, Duan Wencao was also decisive, and resolutely ordered, "Order the leaders of each regiment and Zuo Shi to immediately go to the Chinese army to discuss matters and prepare to fight to the death with the thieves." ”

If he hesitates, the thief army with momentum will rush up in a swarm, and he will be beaten if he doesn't do it well, and if he doesn't do it well, he will be defeated like a mountain, so regardless of 3721, make a decisive battle deployment first, and let the soldiers prepare for the decisive battle.

Li Fengyun attacked.

Li Fengyun deployed eight regiments of elite troops in the middle of the road, with Han Yao's four regiments on the right flank and Meng Haigong's six regiments of the Jiyin Righteous Army on the left flank, with a total strength of 3,600 men.

Duan Wen beat the drum to face the battle.

Duan Wencao deployed 2,000 elites in the middle lane, led by Niu Jinda, determined to inflict heavy losses on the Cangtou army at any cost. Its left and right flanks were 500 men each, and the total force thrown into the decisive battle was 3,000 men. There are also nearly 2,000 troops, some of which are used as reserves, and some of which continue to surround Ningyang City to prevent the rebels in the city from breaking through.

On the plain, the drums shook the sky, the flags were like clouds, and the sound of killing was even more earth-shattering.

The rebels took the lead in attacking, and the battle array pushed forward step by step, and the arrows rose into the sky, overwhelming the sky and the momentum was amazing.

Duan Wencao ordered, hold the battle formation, don't be impatient, don't be in a hurry to attack, first carefully observe the opponent, look for the opponent's weaknesses, if you don't move, you will give the opponent a fatal blow if you move.

Niu Jinda took the lead, stood in the battle formation in front, ordered the crossbowmen, fired intensively, covered the front with an arrow array, and resolutely blocked the thief army.

Upstairs in Ningyang City, Han Jinluo, Shuai Rentai, Zhen Baoche, Huo Xiaohan and Xu Shiren raised their eyes and looked into the distance, all with strict expressions and a tense atmosphere.

On the long street in the city, groups of rebels were fully armed, neatly arranged, and ready to fight.

"Meng Haigong has entered the decisive battlefield." Huo Xiaohan shouted excitedly, "Bai Shuai is too powerful, what benefits did he give Meng Haigong to make this iron rooster gamble all his belongings?" ”

Han Jinluo, Shuai Rentai and Zhen Baoche looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.

Xu Shiren didn't laugh, he was really not in the mood to laugh, and his feelings were too bad. When he came together in the morning and saw the bands of rebels filling the streets, he knew that he had been fooled. He couldn't figure out whether it was his own judgment that was wrong, or if Han Jinluo and the others had suddenly changed? Don't they know that the result of fighting with all their strength is to be ruthlessly annexed by Li Fengyun?

Don't...... A thought suddenly welled up in Xu Shiren's heart, could it be that Li Fengyun made a new promise, after the decisive battle, not only would he not annex them, but he would also support them? Li Fengyun disregarded his own danger and the strong enemy in front of him, and rushed to the aid of Ningyang City twice in a row, which has proved that he is a person who keeps his promises and is a person who can be trusted. Since Li Fengyun can be trusted, there is no need to doubt Li Fengyun's promise. Perhaps, this is the root cause of his own misjudgment, and several heroes resolutely gave up their personal interests and joined hands with Li Fengyun to attack Duan Wencao.

Xu Shiren sighed gloomily, one wrong step and one wrong step, this time Duan Wencao was in a big disaster.
