Chapter 20: The Decisive Battle Begins

The defeat in the siege did not make the family retreat, and they gathered ten miles outside the west gate of Maple Fall City, where there was an open flat land, and the few maple trees around it were also cut down, making room for a military camp.

The atmosphere in the camp is very solemn, even the soldiers on patrol are depressed, they have no fighting spirit at all, their faces are full of decadence, and the only ones who have a little fighting spirit are only the clan army, after brutal training, they can reasonably control their feelings.

In the center of the camp, a luxurious tent, why is it luxurious?

The radius is ten meters, nearly three times larger than that of ordinary soldiers, the mountains and rivers are woven into birds and beasts with gold wire, the golden lines, even the cloth for weaving tents is ten years of silk, which is very precious, and it is warm in winter and cool in summer, and there is a certain fire prevention effect, plus there are four soldiers with shining eyes standing at the door, highlighting the noble and luxurious.

The atmosphere outside the tent was lost, but the atmosphere inside the tent was very lively, the patriarchs of the five major clans gathered together, sat around the table, and a map of Fengluo City was placed on the table.

This map is very simple, and the outside of a city is a plain.

"Tianjun Mansion, this is the city you said is at your fingertips, in today's battle, we lost more than half, you ...... You're too unreliable!"

Dian Huo was very angry in his heart, thinking of the strength of the Tian family, he didn't dare to get angry, so he had to say in a tone of hatred that iron is not steel, this time their Dian family's army has suffered the most losses among the five major clans, so it's no wonder he is angry.

Every private army of the Dian family is his treasure, as for the ordinary officers and soldiers, who is dead or alive, he doesn't care!

Tian Mingyu's face was not good-looking, his face sank into the water, and in the face of Dianhuo's accusations, he had a fire in his heart, and it was difficult to vent.

"Master of the Dian family, this time it was the county government that was wrong, I didn't expect that there were strong generals in the little Fengluo City, in order to attack Fengluo City, my Tian family also lost a general, so don't be angry." ”

On the word county government, Tian Mingyu said very seriously, and he wanted to remind Dianhuo to pay attention to his identity.

Dian Huo's face changed, he was not talking, he was shocked by the words behind, there are also strong generals in Fengluo City!

"So what's going on now?" Zhou Jianwei asked with a frown.

The battle is about the right time, the right place and the right people, the first battle will fail, and when it is against the sky, they will also be completely defeated in terms of people and people, how to attack the city?

"I will go and ask the ancestor to make a move, it is estimated that it will arrive tomorrow, so the county government decided that in order to reduce casualties, tomorrow morning, I will duel with Li Tang outside Fengluo City. ”

A hint of madness flashed in Tian Mingyu's eyes, he would rather the jade be broken than broken.

Ask the ancestor to deal with Xiao Xiaofeng Luocheng, which shows that he is not capable enough as the head of the family, and his prestige in the clan will decline, and he will even be deposed as the patriarch, because the ancestor in the clan is old, and every time he makes a move, he will consume his vitality.

"Since that's the case, then we're relieved!" Zhou Jianwei made a relieved look.

In a deep courtyard in Qingcheng, a white-haired old man opened his eyes, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, and he saw ten people trembling in front of him, and a cruel smile crossed the corner of his mouth.

Ten minutes later, the old man walked out of the courtyard, leaving behind ten dried corpses, and flew in the direction of Fengluo City.

At night, the city lord's mansion of Fengluo City was brightly lit, and after resting for four hours, Zhao Yun and Fan Li made an appointment to discuss matters with Li Tang, and after passing by the house of Tianwen Enlightenment, envy flashed in their eyes again.

"Lord, I just received a letter saying that it will be a decisive battle outside Fengluo City tomorrow morning!"

After Xiuxiang poured the tea and went out, Zhao Yun hurriedly took out a letter and said.

After Li Tang took the letter, he saw that there were three bright red characters written on the envelope, "Decisive Battle Letter".

I don't know what kind of paint it is, but the three big characters reveal a bad spirit, and people who are not firm in their minds will have nightmares at night after reading it.

"Maple is a small city, there is no danger of terrain, no people's hearts are available, there is no grain and grass, today's battle, Tian Xin is not convinced, tomorrow's weather is acceptable, invite a battle outside the city, a life and death will be won or lost! Tian Mingyu wrote. ”

"Looks like he's seeing our weakness!"

After closing the envelope, Li Tang said calmly, without the slightest surprise, no matter how much Tian Mingyu has been the county government for more than ten years, he has some understanding of the situation in Fengluo City.

Fengluo City is divided into two warehouses, the official warehouse is in the city, the civil warehouse is outside the city, among which the civil warehouse is large, the official warehouse raises soldiers, every morning, will transport grain from the civilian warehouse, come to Fengluo City to sell, over time, many people in Fengluo City, there is no habit of storing grain.

Counting the grain captured by the clan, it is more than enough to feed the army, but don't forget that there are still 200,000 people in Fengluo City, and the city gates are closed, and their food will not be solved.

Zhao Yun and Fan Li nodded in unison, they also discovered their weaknesses, and they were also helpless about this, after all, the time to master Fengluo City was very short.

"Lord, agree! In today's battle, the enemy's strength has been greatly damaged, and we have a great chance of defeating, and besides, there is not much food in the city, if the enemy army adopts a siege but does not attack, Fengluo City will be destroyed without attacking. Zhao Yun nodded.

Li Tang just nodded in agreement, Fan Li said: "I'm afraid the matter is not simple, in today's battle, the enemy army knows our details about the same, and will not make any more contempt, but he still has to fight a decisive battle with us, there must be secrets in it that no one knows." ”

Compared with the current strength of the two sides, the decisive battle will definitely kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 self-losses!

"Well, we have to be careful tomorrow, and I decided to personally lead the army to boost morale and prevent accidents. Li Tang nodded and said.

Whether there is an ambush or not, whether it is a conspiracy or not, he must fight tomorrow for only one reason, there are more people and less food.

The next day, the sun was rising, accompanied by a thin mist, Li Tang led an army of 25,000 troops, and in the sound of the horn, left Fengluo City.

After he left, many people couldn't help but look into the distance and pray in their hearts, and many of those who went out on the expedition were their families.

A large number of scouts were dispatched, and after making sure that there was no ambush, Li Tangcai led the army to the front of the county government's army, and the two sides were separated by a distance of 100 meters, and murderous aura rose in their eyes.

Yesterday's war, took away too many precious things from them, erased their lost memories, today, the war resumed, either you die or I die, the comrade-in-arms is no longer reliable, because he will die at any time, only the weapon in his hand is a loyal comrade-in-arms, hold him, kill a way out.

In the front row were heavy shield soldiers, followed by infantry, with swords in hand, and cavalry on both flanks, twenty-five thousand troops, silently without a sound.

Li Tang and Zhao Yun Fan Li rode horses and stopped in front of the army, at this time, they finally saw clearly that the mastermind of the attack on Fengluo City, a total of five people, walked in front, wearing golden chain mail, followed by dozens of horsemen, to protect their safety.
