After leaving seven or eight hundred corpses behind, Jiang Tunshui gave the order to retreat.

It's all in the design of Kim An.

The casualties on the opposite side were not large, thirty-eight iron cavalry, one hundred and twenty-three infantrymen.

With such a casualty ratio, if it were a decisive battle, they would lose ugly.

The people of the Northern Tang Dynasty were all heavily armoured, and it was not wise to pursue them with these lightly armed troops.

General Lin Wei is not a reckless man, he does not dare to let the iron cavalry pursue, to prevent Jin An from any conspiracy and trickery to let himself fall into an ambush, and hundreds of iron cavalry will be destroyed in one fell swoop.

So Jiang Tunshui retreated with more than 2,000 people, which was quite smooth.

General Lin Wei calculated, the troops on both flanks should have entered the position, and the main force here continued to advance, and there was not much danger.

They pushed the array forward without hurry, and when they had traveled another mile, they were met with more than 2,000 troops.

Like a river swallowing water, this force resisted a little and then retreated obediently.

At the same time, unlike their gradual progress, the two wings of a thousand soldiers and a hundred iron cavalry were attacked very fiercely.

No one could figure out what Jin An was thinking, he seemed to have ignored the main force led by General Lin Wei, and instead had a deep hatred for the troops on both flanks.

General Lin Wei did not expect this, and he did not know it for the time being.

His main force, from the north-south direction, had already exceeded the two flanks for three or four miles, and the two flanks were lagging behind.

The troops he encountered were all retreating, and the troops on both flanks were pressing forward at all costs.

On the city wall, Jin An saw the troops led by General Lin Wei.

He no longer shakes a fan, nor does he eat tea anymore, but has a rare serious face.

"Send the order," he commanded, "to Zhao Yanshuang and Zhu Weijiang." ”

"Don't care how much General Linwei's main force advances, how far away Lin'an City is, whether you want to kill me Jin'an."

"Defeat the opponent's wings at all costs, and if you fail, come to me."

"Yes!"

The situation was so critical that the herald didn't have time to care about what was going on in Jin An's mind, and quickly went out of the city to give the order.

When the person left, the corners of Jin An's mouth finally hooked up a smile.

"The plan is to invite you into the urn," he said, "and success or failure is here, and failure is no return." ”

"General Lin Wei, let him see what our Jin family's art of war is."

……

……

Encircling the enemy with five times the strength of the army, even if there is a gap in the combat effectiveness of the two sides, it is enough to take advantage of it.

Zhao Yanshuang, as a young general proposed by Jin An, although he spent several months under Jin An's teaching, he still didn't know what Jin An was going to do today.

It's just that he trusts the other party, trusting for no reason, and he knows that there must be a reason why Jin An arranged it like this.

It's just that he is still a little anxious in his heart, because the main force of Guanbei Tang is now not enough to resist the opponent's army, and Jin An has gathered most of his forces on both wings, and if he does this, Lin'an City is very dangerous.

The advantage of the flanks greatly boosted the morale of the Southern Wu army, and some of the formations that Zhao Yanshuang learned from Jin An were also small tests, and it was easy to surround the thousand soldiers and a hundred iron cavalry.

The fighting will and combat effectiveness of the Northern Tang army were very strong, and the price they paid was very great, but fortunately, with their superiority, the consumption of the other side intensified.

When the casualties were close to 2,000, the Northern Tang people finally could not withstand the pressure, and this flank force began to disperse.

Looking at the corpses in their eyes, the people who fought the first battle and won the tragic victory felt a lot of emotion.

Fortunately, they finally eliminated the flank force before General Lin Wei forced it under the city walls.

Zhu Weijiang's troops in the western direction also defeated the flanks sent by General Lin Wei one after the other.

In the middle, in the face of General Linwei's main force, Jiang Tunshui and others fought and retreated, retreated under the city wall, and finally stopped retreating.

If they retreated, they would have to retreat to the city gate, but there were more than 5,000 people here, and General Lin Wei was close at hand, so it was too late to enter the city.

Four thousand soldiers and more than five hundred iron horsemen looked at the city wall from afar.

Jin An didn't know when it started, but he also left his original seat and stood on the edge of the city wall.

General Lin Wei looked at him.

He also looked at General Lin Wei.

Suddenly, he smiled.

……

……

It is not as earth-shattering as the previous battle between the Ji clan and the Li clan, and hundreds of thousands of troops are mobilized at every turn.

Today's siege seems to be just a small test.

But this still determines the fate of hundreds of people in the future.

Jin An's preparation time for today is not long, only a short two or three months.

Two or three months for a soldier, two or three months for a general.

In the face of the soldiers and iron cavalry of the Northern Tang Dynasty, the more than 5,000 people who could not retreat in front of him could not be stopped at all, and it only took a few fierce attacks from the Northern Tang people to defeat them, and their efforts in two or three months would be in vain.

The soldiers were approaching the city, and the instructions to Zhu Weijiang and Zhao Yanshuang could no longer be conveyed.

This also means that these two troops that wiped out the two wings of the Northern Tang Army can only act on their own, and they do not know how to cooperate with the supreme commander here.

It's not that Jin An can't do anything about this, but that he is not ready to do anything.

After two or three months of getting along, he taught them many things, war is never a rigid thing, and there are some things that he can't tell them every time.

General Lin Wei pulled the iron mask up and opened his mouth as if to say a few words.

Because of the distance, and because he wasn't loud, no one knew what he was talking about.

However, according to his vague mouth shape, Jin An could still see that it was two words - Jin An.

His name.

Presumably, in General Lin Wei's view, the young generation of Southern Wu died in their own hands, and they still have some sense of accomplishment, right?

General Lin Wei pulled the iron mask down, covering his face.

Jin An didn't say anything, but the smile on the corner of his mouth became deeper and deeper.

Jiang Tunshui and another young general, as well as three generals belonging to the Assassin Shi Hu Wangji, were waiting in the troops outside the city gate.

Jin Xiaoyun and Guan Kuo were also there.

It's just that Zhang Lianyue and Guan Bangyun are nowhere to be found.

Up to now, no one will have the psychology of retreating, everyone has no way to retreat, advance, is death, waiting in place, death, once escaped, there will be no place to die.

Guan Kuo turned around and saw that Jin An was no longer in the city.

But his face changed.

Because what he saw was Li Xiyun and Ji Rusi, as well as Li Qianrong.

The two princesses and their former sons stood at the head of the city, looking at him.

Li Xiyun's expression was very warm, and she pointed at him and then at her heart.

She believed in him, she would always support him, and she would always look at him like that.

Ji Ru silently mouthed him, and he could see that it meant - come on.

I'll do my best, he said silently in his heart.

Li Qianrong looked resolute and didn't say anything, just expressed everything with a silent look.

At this moment, a frenzy surged in his heart, and he felt the great significance of his battle.

If they are defeated, then not only will Jin An be defeated, but all these people in the city will suffer cruel things, so in order to protect these people, they can't lose, they can only defeat the elite of the Northern Tang Dynasty in front!

There was a roar at the gates, and a gap opened.

Jin An didn't know when he had changed into that Liuyun Cang armor, rode a war horse wearing gold and heavy armor, and slowly walked out of the city gate.
