Zhi Muyu and Han Xiang were ordered to leave, and only Guo Rong and two sentries were left on the watchtower.

The two sentries held monoculars in their hands and observed the situation in front of them intently, while Guo Rong slowly put the binoculars in the bag around his waist, and then Guo Rong raised his head and quietly looked at the civilians who were driven away like ants in his field of vision.

This is not the first time Guo Rong has seen such a scene, and Guo Rong also imagines that this will probably not be the last, but Guo Rong can be sure that this is the one he feels the deepest.

There is no easy thing for people to live, the vast majority of people are forced to carry their own weight forward, and sometimes they can live if they can take one more step.

A few days ago, when I persuaded myself, I said, "All intrigues and tricks are paper tigers in the face of absolute strength!"

Guo Rong thought deeply of this sentence, but Wu Shaoxiong's fist clenched with a hand like a chicken paw when he gave an example was more or less inconsistent with this sentence.

In fact, Guo Rong prefers another sentence from his previous life.

"Strength is always the foundation for upholding justice, national defense is the backing of diplomacy, dignity is only on the edge of the sword, and truth is only within the range of cannons!"

Guo Rong thinks that Ai Gong's words explain the essence of this world, and more importantly, Guo Rong thinks that the Changying Army under his command is the strongest truth in the entire Blue Star at the moment.

After waiting quietly for about half an hour, the sound of folding the rain came from behind him.

"Boss, the people have arrived!"

Guo Rong turned his head and looked at the panting Zhe Muyu.

It has been more than three years since he brought Zhi Muyu out of Fugu, and in three years, Zhi Muyu has grown from a small bean like bean sprouts to a young man who is nearly six feet tall, has a strong body, and can do a whole hat and a pot helmet in one meal.

Although the height and weight are not as good as Guo Rong, they can finally reach the lower limit of the Changying Army's soldiers.

I don't know if it's because of Guo Rong's influence, Zhi Muyu didn't inherit his grandfather's special style of old women doing cunning in Zheyun Valley, but was closer to Guo Rong's character and habits.

Guo Rong smiled at Zhi Muyu and touched Zhi Muyu's head.

"Hurry up and go back, put on the chain mail and Mingguang armor, we have a big battle today!"

Hearing Guo Rong's instructions, Zhi Muyu had a surprise on his face that could not be concealed.

"Can I go into battle?"

"Well, it's okay, let's go, you won't be able to keep up with me when it's late!"

"Yes, yes!"

While obeying the order, Zhi Muyu raised his hand, solemnly gave a military salute, and then quickly turned around.

Looking at the youthful vigor and smile, and the rushing down from the watchtower, Guo Rong also brought a smile for the first time today.

With Guo Rong's order, all members of the Changying Army entered a state of imminent battle, and tens of thousands of civilians who were coerced and driven to the battlefield were still struggling to move forward.

At the same time, the well-fed, well-fed, and stubborn Hebei rebels also began to come out of the three large battalions and two small battalions outside the Changying Army camp in a structured manner.

Seeing this scene, Guo Rong's face unconsciously put on a smile again, sure enough, the troops were dispatched, and it was when the civilians who were coerced and driven away were more than halfway through.

In other words, Tan Zhong's old fox's thoughts were exactly the same as his own inference.

Raising his head, turning his gaze from the increasingly lively battlefield to the largest camp of the rebels due south, Guo Rong narrowed his eyes and raised his fist.

"Playing conspiracy, Lao Tzu is indeed inferior to you old foxes, but Lao Tzu can still beat you down."

After speaking in a low voice, Guo Rong turned around and went downstairs and walked straight towards the center of the camp.

Two quarters of an hour later, when the civilians who had been coerced and driven away were less than a mile away from the camp of the Changying Army, the three closed gates of the camp were opened at the same moment, and a group of heavily armored foot soldiers rushed out of the open gates.

On the watchtower of the large camp on the south side of Lu Longjun, a red order flag was shaking constantly.

Tan Zhong, who was wearing the armor of an ordinary soldier and following behind the civilians, did not know when he returned to the camp, changed into his official armor, a set of silver armor that shone in the sun, and appeared in the open space outside the camp of the Lu Long Army with his handsome flag.

At this time, Tan Zhongzhi was full of pride, and his face was full of red light.

Seeing this flag swaying in a regular order, Tan Zhong's eyes had a smile that could not be concealed, and the young Guo Rong on the other side really couldn't hold his breath, and chose the most wrong way to deal with it in Tan Zhong's opinion.

"Fame is wonderful, but fame is also a double-edged sword, even if you give up the so-called false name at this time! I'm still young!"

After sighing softly in a voice that only he could hear, Tan Zhong shook his head with a smile of relief and satisfaction.

"The soldiers and horses in front of them are starting to move!"

"Inform Zhen Bingliang and Qi Yong to lead troops to send troops from the east and west sides at the same time!"

"And let He Shenglong and Xie Zhao lead people to follow, if Wei Bojun and Cheng Dejun's people dare to play tricks, just kill them directly!"

"There is no need to keep all the soldiers and horses reserved for the two small battalions in the southeast and southwest, let the two sides bring 5,000 foot soldiers, go out, follow behind the soldiers in front, and take up the duties of supervising the battle team, no matter who or which part of the army, dare to retreat, or fear the enemy and do not move forward, and there will be no mercy!"

"Inform the whole army, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are stupid, they opened the camp gate by themselves, and they took the initiative to come out to die!"

……

With Tan Zhong's order, the flags of different colors on the large camp on the south side of the rebels were constantly waving and playing different flags, and at the same time, a large number of messengers began to rush in several directions such as east and west.

Soon, the infantry in front of the rebel camp began to advance rapidly, and several passages with a width of more than ten zhang were reserved as they advanced.

The cavalry of the Lu Long Army, which was lined up in the middle of the camp to prepare for battle, began to rush out of the camp gate quickly, and accelerated towards the front along the passage reserved by the foot soldiers.

As the soldiers and horses of both sides poured out of the open camp gates, the real battle finally entered the countdown stage after the outpost battle between scouts and cavalry two days ago!

It's just that in Tan Zhong's opinion, before the real battle begins, the result is already doomed, and Tan Zhong can even see the process of the battle, as well as the ending of the other party's forbidden army from the imperial court in Guanzhong.

Civilians who had been drained of value, energy, and stamina to the limit would have to walk the five-mile distance between the camps of the two sides in close to an hour.

But in the eyes of their own recuperated cavalry, it is not worth mentioning at all, and they can quickly catch up with these cannon fodder after the attack.

Next, what the cavalry needs to do is to drive these cannon fodder in the direction of the Changying Army by killing, coercing, and driving away.

Judging from the other party's choice to finally leave the camp, Tan Zhong can be sure that the young commander Guo Rong on the opposite side may order persuasion, may choose to guide, or may choose indulgence, but he will not order the butcher's knife to be raised against these unarmed civilians.

And not raising the butcher's knife means that their battle array will be directly dispersed by the civilians who have been driven away!

The cavalry of the Changying Army is very powerful, and the heavy infantry of the Changying Army is said to be even more powerful than the cavalry, but the premise for the heavy infantry to be able to play a role in the face of cavalry is to form a formation!

The foot soldiers who do not form a formation, even the Mo sword soldiers are powerless to stop the cavalry from charging into formation!

Tan Zhong could see that after the battle formation was dispersed by these civilians, the opponent's very powerful foot soldiers would fall under the butcher's knives of his own cavalry in pieces.

By the time their own cavalry crushed the elite infantry of the opposing attack, the infantry who followed the rear should also arrive, and they will take over the battle left by the cavalry and continue to advance, after all, the cavalry is too fragile in close combat, far less thick than the heavy infantry in heavy armor.

For the Changying Army, once the first wave of foot soldiers fails, it means that they will lose the last chance on the opposite side, and the civilians who are driven away, the defeated foot soldiers, and the rebel foot soldiers who have pursued and replaced the cavalry will be swarmed

Rush to the gate of the camp that had been set aside. Tan Zhong believes that concessions sometimes become habitual.

When the other party chooses to attack for the first time instead of shooting these civilians who are cannon fodder, it is the first time for the other party to retreat, and when the civilians do not raise their butcher knives in the face of the rout, it is the second time to retreat, then Tan Zhong also believes that the other party will also choose to back down when they choose the third time, and they will not close the camp gate......

The moment their own foot soldiers rushed into the opponent's camp, everything had already settled, the other party would fall into a place of no return, and the Li Tang court they guarded would also collapse under the joint attack of Hebei and Tubo.

Of course, if it is closed, it is nothing, and it is a big deal to drive these tens of thousands of cannon fodder who have lost their use value and have almost no ability to resist directly to the side of the trench, so that their corpses can fill the way for the attacking Hebei army.

As for how many people will die and how much damage will be caused, this is not a question that Tan Zhong needs to think about at all!

All winners are kings, and the losers are cowards!

Not to mention the tens of thousands of people, in order to be able to win, even if he kills all the people in Henan Province, Tan Zhong will not have any hesitation.

After all, Tan Zhong is not a young man like Guo Rong who has not yet understood these truths, after countless years, countless wars, and countless conspiracies, Tan Zhong's heart has long been as cold as ice.

As Tan Zhong's order was passed in place, the rebels totaling more than 70,000 from the five camps divided into three directions and strode towards the camp of the Changying army.

Due to the proximity to Baigou on the north side, and the camp built by the Changying army is long from east to west, and the irregular shape between the trapezoid and the rectangle is narrow from north to south, making the east and west sides not suitable for the deployment of too many soldiers and horses, so the large battalions of the Lu Long army on the east and west sides are auxiliary directions.

Rao is auxiliary direction, on each side is the Lu Long Army cavalry of two or three thousand people, and the Lu Long Army foot soldiers of about 10,000 people are driving nearly 10,000 civilians as cannon fodder and advancing towards the camp of the Changying Army.

Compared with the east and west sides, which are restricted by terrain and environment, the wide, flat, and open view of the south is the main direction of attack in Tan Zhong's plan.

In this whole direction, Tan Zhong invested more than 3,000 cavalry, nearly 45,000 including 40,000 foot soldiers, plus nearly 20,000 coerced people.

It's just that in the direction of the main attack, Tan Zhong played a small trick.

In addition to the most elite 3,000 cavalry in order to open the way, the 20,000 foot soldiers at the front were not Lu Long's army, but the Chengde army and Wei Bo's army, which were sent to follow Tan Zhong from the beginning.

For Tan Zhong's arrangement, the generals led by Cheng Dejun and Wei Bojun were also helpless.

Tan Zhong is the chief general designated by the bosses of the three armies under the city of Bianzhou, and how to arrange it is his main general's power!

At the moment, Tan Zhong just arranged them in the position of the front army, and in front of them there was actually Lu Longjun's own cavalry, no one could say that Tan Zhong regarded them as cannon fodder, at most it could be regarded as devouring wolves and driving tigers, and let them take their own lives to test the actual situation of Changying's army for him Tan Zhong.

After all, this is a battlefield, and there is only one consequence of disobeying military orders, and there is no forgiveness for killing.

Of course, they will take this order from Tan Zhong, and they also have their own little tricks.

In the vast majority of the time, the first and forerunner are often the ones with the highest risk and casualty rates.

Although the danger is high and the risk is great, if the battle is won, then the first and vanguard will also receive the highest merit and reward when calculating the merits of the battle.

Although Tan Zhong put them in the most risky place, he did not hide the arrangements from them.

The commanders of the Cheng German Army and the Wei Bo Army are also veteran generals in the army, and they will also have their own judgments on the battlefield and the battle situation.

In the current situation, if they were allowed to defend, then they would surely honestly huddle in a strong and outrageous barracks, and with strong fortifications, they would keep all the invading enemies out.

And now, those fools on the other side in the Changying Army actually opened the camp gate directly, just like Tan Zhong said, which was tantamount to taking the initiative to send them to death in their eyes.

From this point, they clearly knew that Tan Zhong, the old fox, had obviously calculated all the thoughts including them in his bones.

Since the other party's Changyingjun honestly sent them to death in the way specified by Tan Zhong, so what's the harm if they also take risks according to Tan Zhong's arrangement?

However, this is the battlefield, and everyone understands the things on the battlefield, not to mention Guo Rong, who has completely deduced Tan Zhong's plan.

It's just that Guo Rong doesn't intend to honestly follow the route that Tan Zhong has planned for himself, because in Guo Rong's eyes, there are more than two ways to treat those civilians who are coerced.

With Guo Rong's order, the camp gate of the Changying Army was opened, and a group of heavily armored foot soldiers rushed out of the camp gate.

However, unlike what they usually do on the battlefield, after leaving the camp, the elites of these heavily armored Changying troops did not start their formation at the first time.

Instead, they formed a very regular formation of eight people in a horizontal column similar to a parade or marching column.

Then, in the form of columns, quickly move forward.
