Why did the Central Tang Army flee to Zuoliucheng at that time? It was because it had retreated thousands of miles, the back roads were cut off, and there was not enough food and grass for baggage, so it was an out-and-out tired army. If you don't escape, then you will have to face the flanking attack of the Tempest Legion and the Qinwang Army.

And now the Central Tang Army has been recuperating here for several days, and the fatigue has recovered, and the biggest shortcoming: the heavy grain and grass are also traded with Xirong, and the Tempest Legion has also penetrated deep into the Central Tang Dynasty to burn, kill and loot, although this is not a good thing, but for the Central Tang Army, the pressure has been weakened by three percent again.

Therefore, as far as the current situation is concerned, the siege of the Northern Qi army is meaningless, because as mentioned earlier, the most important meaning of the siege is the blockade, since you can't block others, then what are you still camping within five miles? Although the Northern Qi army withdrew from the siege, the Central Tang Army in Zuoliucheng was also very unhappy, because their roots were not here, and they needed to travel thousands of miles home, and the cavalry-based Northern Qi Army had a unique advantage in maneuvering, and it could be said that it took the initiative.

If the Tang Army does not fight with the Northern Qi Army here and forcibly goes on the road, then it is quite uncomfortable to be forcibly attacked and harassed by the Northern Qi Army with high morale along the way, just like walking in the wilderness and encountering wolves, it must always be on alert, and if you slack off a little, you will be hit hard. In other words, there is only a thousand days to catch thieves, and there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days, so the current situation is that the Central Tang Army wants to fight with the Northern Qi Army and give the opponent a hard blow before leaving safely.

In this case, if the Northern Qi army retreats and re-encamps fifteen miles away from the city, it will be a clever move. Because if the Central Tang Army wants to come over and storm the camp of the Northern Qi Army, it means that before coming, all the soldiers of the Central Tang Dynasty will have to wear armor and walk fifteen miles before they come to attack. Don't underestimate this detail, even if it is a well-trained elite like the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, if it is cleaned up by this means, it can be said that the combat power will be exhausted by about 10%.

Maybe one person's combat power is not much. However, this is an army! The number of soldiers of the Tang Dynasty is at least 50,000 or 60,000, and a reduction of 10% of the combat strength is equivalent to a reduction of 5,000 or 6,000 troops----- so if you calculate this, then the extent of such a reduction can be said to be very considerable.

The next day, the spies of the Zhongtang Mansion soldiers reported that the Northern Qi army seemed to have some problems, probably because of the lack of wood, so although it had passed this night, the protective fortifications of the Northern Qi army camp had still not been fully established, and they were only about six or seven percent completed, and they were still working overtime to build.

After hearing the news. At this time, the Northern Qi Qinwang Army could only rely on the geographical advantage to resist and support, and they could not even fully occupy the geographical advantage at this time, so what else do they need to wait for? Of course, the cavalry of the Northern Qi Dynasty is indeed powerful and very mobile, but the cavalry and war horses also need to eat and rest. As long as their large camp is broken and all the heavy grain and grass are burned and destroyed, the cavalry will immediately collapse without a fight!!

Under such circumstances, the Chinese Tang Army came out of the nest this time. Eight government soldiers were dispatched to the large formation, slowly advancing and pressing, and then without saying a word, they rushed straight to the camp of the Northern Qi army! This time, the Northern Qi army also received a strict order from Lu Yu to defend with all its might. Nearly 100,000 people were stuck in the front to resist to the death, and the camp looked poorly protected from the outside, but a large number of potholes were dug inside. Women's walls, ditches, even if the first line of defense is broken, they can still rely on the geographical advantage to continue to defend it.

At the same time, the cavalry of the Northern Qi Army is no longer sitting idly by, killing from the left and right sides at the same time, to form a three-way flank attack, but at this time, the Central Tang Dynasty also began to send cavalry to kill, trying to contain and resist on the side, delaying time, but the cavalry of the Central Tang Dynasty is no longer comparable to the cavalry of the Northern Qi Army, so it was killed and retreated, but at this time, the ace snake swallowing army in Lu Yu's hand has not yet appeared, so the Central Tang Army must also leave the elite cavalry under the command of Hengbo General Tian Wu as a reserve, and it can only retain its strength。

Therefore, after the war went on for an hour, it entered a state of tug-of-war, the Northern Qi Army Qinwang Army relied on the geographical advantage in the large camp, as well as the left and right flanking attacks of the ordinary cavalry of the Northern Qi Army, Kankan and the attacking Zhongtang soldiers became a draw, and the ordinary cavalry of the Central Tang Army was disabled within half an hour of the war, and the attrition was as high as more than half, which could only play a role in some harassment.

At this time, although it is said to be a state of see-saw, in fact, the front line is like a meat grinder, there are tragic battles happening all the time, and the Tang Army is still occupying the upper hand, if it is not for the cavalry on both wings will launch a charge from time to time, the front of the Northern Qi Qin Wang Army has long been defeated, even so, behind the battle line of the Northern Qi Qin Wang Army, there is still a long list of human heads, that is, the heads of the deserters cut off by the Inspector Clan, there are even several deputy generals' heads, it can be seen that this battle is also a real fire!

The battle continued fiercely, and the Northern Qi army could be said to be completely filling in with human lives, which could barely maintain the balance of power. However, this was not a long method after all, so the battle line of the Northern Qi army was once again beaten from a straight line into an incomparably clear inner arc, and then retreated without suspense, and finally completely abandoned the outer fence and ditch line.

The Tang Army originally thought that the overall situation had been decided, but after attacking the periphery, they found that things were not as simple as they imagined, in the final analysis, it was also the loss of the Tang Army's unfamiliarity, it turned out that this time the new battalion of the Northern Qi Army was actually directly built in a village, and it was still a large-scale village, similar to the level of a township.

Not to mention anything else in this village, there are only four or five large houses in the blue brick and high-walled compounds, each house is three or five near, very firmly repaired, and there are garden wells and the like, each house is stuffed with hundreds of elites into it, and the ridge of the wall is also full of archers, although the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have their own shields to block, and they are not very afraid of bows and arrows, but the people who hit the Northern Qi are not fools, how can they not know their weaknesses? Therefore, the arrows of the archers are wound with flammable things, which are clearly rockets.

At the same time, the terrain in the village was complicated, the roads were tortuous, and the Northern Qi army had previously targeted the Tang army. It is also built and modified dozens of punch cars, which can't exert much power on the flat ground, but in this narrow alley terrain, it can achieve miraculous results.

With these pre-set arrangements, and the cavalry has been outflanking and killing the Central Tang Army, although the Northern Qi Army seems to be forced to be very embarrassed and defeated and retreated, it is still scattered but not chaotic, and has been able to persist in resisting.

I saw that time passed rapidly, until the sun set in the west. Its own army can be said to have the upper hand and victory, but there is no way to turn this victory into victory, the hearts of the people of the Tang Army are actually full of anxiety, as I have said earlier, the most unwilling to drag out the war into a night battle is the Tang Army that attaches importance to discipline.

However, if the withdrawal of troops is given up now, the camp of the Northern Qi army will also be deeply penetrated into a small half, and it can be said that every inch of land here is also stained with the blood of its own soldiers. Therefore, if you retreat this time, it will definitely be difficult for the soldiers below to understand, and the damage to morale will be great.

Faced with this situation, the Central Tang Army finally sounded the horn of the offensive with a whine. This time, the sound of the offensive horn was dragged long, with three points of heroism and seven points of excitement, and then followed. The remaining two phalanxes of the Tang Army finally moved, and they raised the long knives in their hands in unison and shouted:

"Invincible, invincible!!"

And then I see. The soldiers in these two huge phalanxes flipped their wrists and took out their shields, which could be said to be very unique, they all looked like they were shining gold, but they were plated with a layer of fine copper!

This is the elite of the soldiers of the Central Tang Dynasty, called the Golden Shield Forbidden Army, which is a powerful legion that has been created to compete with Lu Yu's Snake Devouring Army. With the strength of the whole country, a total of only four legions have been created, which are clearly called by the names of Zhennan, Pingxi, Attacking North, and Weidong.

As these two legions joined the war group, it immediately became the last straw that crushed the camel, and the feeling of the Tang Army was immediately different, as if it had the backbone, and a strong momentum of lofty mountains and mountains was rising, and then the Central Tang Army began to push flat, although the speed was not fast, but all the defenses of the Northern Qi Army were in the face of the offensive of the Golden Shield Forbidden Army, which was simply like a ruin, and they were defeated and retreated!

At this time, it can already be said that the picture is poor, of course, the Northern Qi will not keep anything, suddenly there was a long neighing sound in the distance, as if it was about to penetrate the clouds, and then, a giant horse like a charcoal galloped from afar, and behind him, a long cavalry winded like a dragon, undulating like a snake, and the formation had always been weirdly changing, rushing towards this side of the battlefield.

The Snake Swallowers finally appeared.

Before, when Lu Yu was only a marquis, the resources that could be used were limited, so the core number of the snake swallowing army at that time had always been maintained by a few thousand people, but now that he is the monarch, he doesn't know how many resources have been tilted on the snake swallowing army, and the number of this snake swallowing army at this time can be said to have reached nearly 20,000 people, if it is not for the limit of the aura of the artifact snake swallower that Lu Yu himself masters, it can even expand more manpower.

The hole cards of both sides have already been used, and they are about to collide directly! However, at this time, Tang Lie, the commander of the Tang Army, hesitated.

Although he had no experience in fighting with the Snake Swallowing Army, when he fought with the ordinary cavalry of the Northern Qi Dynasty before, he had already felt that the other party's strength was obviously stronger, not to mention the Snake Swallowing Army, which was obviously much stronger than the ordinary cavalry of the Northern Qi Dynasty? At this time, if the trump card "Golden Shield Forbidden Army" in his hand was transferred to the Snake Swallowing Army head-on, Tang Lie would have to face two major difficulties.

The first dilemma is that it is absolutely impossible for the two sides to collide with Mars and the earth without death, and there is a way to kill 10,000 enemies and injure 8,000 themselves! Once the Golden Shield Forbidden Army suffers too many casualties, then it can easily become a pretext for political opponents to attack themselves.

According to the current situation on the battlefield, it only takes at most two or three pillars of incense to completely break the camp of the Northern Qi Army.

At the same time, if the Golden Shield Forbidden Army is hastily withdrawn, and the temporary formation to confront the Snake Swallowing Army, which is already completely galloping, it will be inferior in momentum and preparation, and it may not be completely sure that it will be able to block the other party, on the contrary, if you grit your teeth and be able to hold two or three more pillars of incense, wait until the Golden Shield Forbidden Army completely occupies the camp of Northern Qi, and then rely on the village buildings inside to resist the Snake Swallowing Army, and you can even reversely damage the Snake Swallowing Army!

Therefore, Tang Lie made a decision very simply, that is, let the elite cavalry of the Hengbo general Tian Wu, who had been prepared for a long time, kill, and at the same time cooperate with the remaining cavalry of his own side, and be sure to delay the efforts of the snake swallowing army at all costs, and at the same time sent a supervising team, densely lined up in a row and stood in the rear, the meaning is also very simple, that is, the cowardly is dead!

Tang Lie's military order was quickly implemented, and Tian Wu, the general of Hengbo who led the team, didn't think that this military order was outrageous, after all, his army had not fought before, and this military order was not the so-called "chaotic life", asking them to go directly to take Lu Yu's head This is almost impossible to do, but just to tie up the enemy's three incense sticks.

Therefore, in the face of this military order, Tian Wu didn't say anything, he directly took the military order, led his subordinates to turn over and get on the horse, and galloped away at the snake swallowing army, but he didn't find it at this time, but his two lieutenants exchanged glances, and a poisonous light shone in their eyes, and then shouted loudly, and took his subordinates to follow Tian Wu galloping.
