For several days in a row, no matter what tactics Zhang Zhongming used, there was no way to get close to the Yulin city wall and throw grenades at the head of the city.

Just when the two armies were surrounding Yulin County and exchanging fire, the 20,000 troops personally commanded by Sun Chengzong directly surrounded it outside Yulin City with lightning speed.

If there is a city wall to protect it, coupled with the tens of thousands of grenades that Zhang Zhongming has worked hard to accumulate in his hands, even if he can't stop the attack of the Haw Par Army, he can still inflict heavy casualties on the reinforcements of the Haw Par Army in the battle......

However, Zhang Zhongming had no city walls to defend.

If this is not the case, Zhang Zhongming and the remaining 40,000 soldiers under his command are still caught in the front and rear attacks of the Tiger and Leopard Army......

Just when Zhang Zhongming, with a face full of irritability, stomped his steps in a meeting of the humble headquarters, used to vent his inner panic and anxiety.

A thousand commanders of all the scouts under his command rushed in.

Before Zhang Zhongming could speak, Mr. Qian was already impatient: "General, you have found out...... Surrounding us was the Fifth Army of the Haw Par Army, with two musket divisions, a cavalry division, and a heavy artillery regiment...... A total of 20,000 troops, all equipped with powerful new muskets and artillery, the combat effectiveness is very strong......"

Even the 2,000 elites of the Tiger and Leopard Army who have the city walls to defend themselves can't beat it, let alone the 20,000 elites......

At the first moment after listening to the report, Zhang Zhongming thought of breaking through and retreating.

Therefore, Zhang Zhongming opened his mouth and asked without thinking about it......

"How's the situation around you now...... Do we have a chance to break out......"

disappointed Zhang Zhongming, after asking his words, Mr. Qian's face was raised. A hint of helplessness visibly flashed.

But. Under Zhang Zhongming's questioning. Or do you want to answer......

"General, the last general has already checked all the retreats around the perimeter, and all the retreats have been heavily deployed by the Haw Par Army, at least two battalions, and they are also equipped with a lot of artillery......"

"Is there no way to do it......" Zhang Zhongming asked rhetorically with a look of disbelief.

Then, Zhang Zhongming, who had a solemn face, seemed to think of something, and continued to ask Mr. Qian......

"No, you just said that. The Haw Par Army only deployed heavy troops on our retreat, not everywhere...... If we don't take the official road, we won't be able to meet the heavy troops of the Haw Par Army to intercept us......"

Mr. Qian's eyes lit up at first, but it didn't last long before he was replaced by gloom again......

After shaking his head, he replied: "General, if you don't take the official road, you can indeed ask the heavy troops of the Tiger and Leopard Army to surround you...... However, not taking the official road means that we must give up the war horse and all the material baggage......

Zhang Zhongming, who knew that he could not be the opponent of the Fifth Army of the Tiger and Leopard Army. Didn't hesitate for too long on this issue......

After taking a deep breath, he made a very decisive decision: "That's it." It is better to give up the war horse and baggage than to die here in the battle...... As long as the people or the army are in hand, we can still get back the lost baggage and materials......"

Zhang Zhongming's words are like this, but she knows better than anyone else in her heart.

After the reinforcements of the Haw Par Army arrived in Shaanxi, it would definitely be more difficult for them to grab food and equipment from Shaanxi than to ascend to the sky.

However, at the critical juncture when it comes to the life and death of the soldiers under his command, Zhang Zhongming can only use these words that can fool ordinary soldiers to boost everyone's morale......

Although Zhang Zhongming had already made a decision, he was rational and did not immediately issue an order to break through.

As a battle-hardened veteran, Zhang Zhongming knows very well that no matter how careful he is, it is impossible to make the breakthrough of the army become silent......

And this means that soon after the army breaks through, he intends to give up the war horse and baggage, and the purpose of breaking through from the small road will be very completely exposed to the tiger and leopard army.

When the time comes, the Haw Par Army will definitely not let go of this opportunity to take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill the soldiers under their command who have not yet broken through here......

To put it more clearly, even if he decides to break through, under the watchful eyes of 20,000 tigers and leopards, he can only successfully break through partially...... Therefore, Zhang Zhongming must make a choice among all the troops under his command......

Which troops broke through with them, and which troops stayed behind to break through, confusing the Haw Par Army, and at the same time, they were finally wiped out by the Haw Par Army......

Therefore, Zhang Zhongming, who made the decision to break through, fell directly into contemplation......

The temporary headquarters of the Fifth Army of the Tiger and Leopard Army, in order to understand the battle situation faster and better, Sun Chengzong directly arranged the headquarters on a mountain beam. Although there is no way to see the entire battlefield clearly, most of the battlefield can still be seen.

As the night once again shrouded the land of Shaanxi, the three division commanders of the Fifth Army also returned to the headquarters with their faces full of anticipation and heat......

"Army commander, the three regiments of our cavalry division have all been arranged in place...... As long as the battle starts, the three cavalry regiments will definitely be able to divide the rebels at the first time, and drag the cavalry units in the rebels to eliminate them......"

As soon as the cavalry division commander finished speaking, the commander of the ninth division rushed to answer......

"Commander, the five musket battalions of our department have blocked all the retreat channels on the northwest side of the rebels...... The other four musket battalions were all ready to attack...... I promise, even if these rebels have wings, there is no way to break out from the northwest side......"

"My 10th Division is also ready for battle, just wait for your order, commander......"

After getting the answer he wanted, Sun Cheng Zongyan's face also showed a hint of a smile.

Under the gaze of the three pairs full of burning eyes, he spoke decisively......

"In that case, then we will launch an attack on the rebels in the encirclement early tomorrow morning...... When the time comes, the defenders of Yulin will go out of the city to cooperate with us...... In addition, I would like to remind you once again that although the rebels in the encirclement have no combat effectiveness, we still cannot underestimate the enemy, because they are also equipped with a lot of muskets and grenades. If you use it well, it can definitely cause us a lot of damage......"

The 20,000 soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Army stared at the chaotic soldiers, ready to give them a fatal blow.

In the barracks, which was crowded with tens of thousands of rebels, there were 8,000 rebels with the strongest combat effectiveness and the most well-equipped. Under Zhang Zhongming's order, the assembly has been completed and preparations are ready to break through.

The 8,000 soldiers, apart from equipment and three days of dry food, did not bring anything else, as if they were about to enter the war.

In the eyes of the other rebels in the barracks, these 8,000 elites are ready to go to war, open a breakthrough in the encirclement of the Tiger and Leopard Army, and cover everyone to break through......

I don't know at all, all of these are a conspiracy designed by Zhang Zhongming...... (To be continued......)
