After this defeat, there were already generals in the Tang army who advised Wang Rong to withdraw his troops. Wang Rong showed a due expression at this time, which made the generals very incomprehensible. Wang Rong's style has always given the generals a sense of vigor and resoluteness, is it possible that his grandfather is tired after such a long time of fighting?

Wang Rong looked at the generals in the tent and said, "Now that our army has been besieging the city for many days, and it has returned in vain, it will be difficult to have the next chance to destroy the Ji State."

Song Wenbai took a step forward and said with tears in his eyes: "Grandpa, if we can withdraw our troops at this time, our Tang army will still be able to be preserved, and once we continue to delay, I am afraid that the army will fall apart at that time."

Wang Rong sighed and said, "If you withdraw from the army at this time, many problems may arise. Not only did the results of the long-term siege be wasted, but once our army retreated, with a large number of infantry troops and baggage, marched west along the plain in a chaotic manner, did the Ji soldiers and horses in Xindu City kill them and follow them?"

Song Wenbai continued: "Grandpa, at this time, the army is short of food and grass, the army's morale is turbulent, the siege of the city for many days, and the soldiers and horses are tired, how can you fight? Please give the order to retire!"

"Let me think about it again......

Wang Rong waved his hand and waved the generals away.

When the east is white, it is dawn. A light breeze blew through the Tang Army camp outside the city of Xindu. The horn of the Tang army sounded, and all the sergeants got up one after another, put on their robes, put on their armor, put on their swords, and picked up spears and shields.

As soon as they walked out of the camp tent, the generals and the marquis of Du Yu came to the soldiers who had already assembled, and loudly announced the military order from the big tent of the Chinese army: "Everyone, pack up your belongings, carry seven days of military rations, and march west!"

Before dawn, the sound of horses' hooves and the noise of people and horses soon sound......ed on the plain. The generals of the Tang Army, with their men and horses, were retreating westward. qδ

In less than half an hour, the mighty Tang army rushed to be the first. Tens of thousands of people ran on the plains, and the battle was simply earth-shattering! Tents, ordnance, armor, weapons...... Countless baggage was thrown everywhere. At this time, the various departments are only concerned about running to the front as if they are in a race......

The centaurs who ran first were wise. The cavalry of the Ji army in the city will soon chase them out, and the first unlucky ones are of course those Tang soldiers and horses who are running slowly and lagging behind!

Zhao Yi, the prince of Jiguo, was suddenly woken up, and he had been sleeping in the North City Gate Tower these days. The Minister of State, Lian Fang, and the Imperial Envoy Pang Jun of Xindu, came together, and something big must have happened.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, the Tang army outside the city has begun to retreat."

The first sentence of the Prime Minister Lian came up surprised Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan asked urgently, "The Tang army has retreated? Is it a retreat or a rout, can you be sure?"

Minister Lian Yu continued: "Whether it will retreat or retreat is not certain for the time being, but it is certain that the Tang army has insufficient food and grass, the morale of the army is turbulent, the siege of the city for many days, the soldiers and horses are exhausted, and it is no longer possible to continue fighting, and this is a good time for our army to go out of the city to pursue."

Zhao Yan turned his head to look at Pang Jun and asked, "General Pang, do you think our army should attack?"

Pang Jun nodded and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the minister just sent a few scouts out of the city to investigate, and they reported that the Tang army retreated in a hurry, and a lot of military supplies were lost."

Zhao Yan no longer hesitated, he hurriedly ordered Pang Jun to immediately lead the cavalry out of the city. Pang Jun took the order and left, fortunately, these nights, the soldiers of the Ji army did not even take off their armor when they slept, so they got up and brought their weapons, and they were soon able to lead the horses to gather.

The army rode to the valley gate, and saw that the gate of the city had been opened, and a large number of foot horsemen were pouring out of the city, and even the infantry had gone out!

Pang Jun led his troops close to the city gate, saw the gap and rode his horse up, and shouted at his troops to go out of the city. At this time, the outside of the city was full of surging torches, the people and horses were noisy and the situation was turbulent, and the hooves of horses near and far roared like muffled thunder from the sky.
