What Liu Shang didn't know was that when they felt they had nothing to do, the people in Dingyang City were already devastated, or even panicked.

Six thousand soldiers came out of the city, but no one came back. How many Tang troops were there outside the city?

You know, the total number of soldiers and horses in Dingyang City is less than 20,000. Among them, the king was left with an army of 10,000 at first, but when Xu Huang withdrew from Hukou Town to Dingyang, he lost 2,500 people, so when the war in Dingyang City began, he had only 7,000 left. Five hundred people. Together with the four thousand cavalry and five thousand soldiers brought by Jiangshan, there are a total of nine thousand soldiers and horses; there is also the three thousand soldiers brought by the hegemony; the number of soldiers and horses brought together is 19,500.

After the war in the past few days, five or six thousand people have been lost. This is still Xu Huang's greatness. Only when the deployment of soldiers and horses is extremely accurate can there be such a result. If it is replaced by ordinary generals, it is estimated that the casualties will increase by one. Times. You know, the soldiers who attacked by the Tang army were the most elite combat barracks, not ordinary soldiers and horses.

But today, five thousand pacesers came out of the city like a mud cow into the sea, there was no sound, how could it not make a few people tremble. Now there are five thousand foot soldiers and three thousand cavalry left in the city.

Seeing that the sky was about to get dark, at the request of the king, Jiang Shan ordered Liu Bao to lead the remaining three thousand Huns cavalry out of the city in search of news about the six thousand army. When it got dark, Liu Bao was only able to lead. The cavalry returned in a hurry, and the news brought back caused a few people to fly away like six thousand troops in an ice cave.

Liu Bao kept searching until Fujiapu did not see a coalition soldier, even a corpse was not found. Only the soldiers and horses on duty stood on the wall of Fujiapu. Liu Bao sent someone to look closer. After confirming that it was Tang Jun Wu Ning, he hurriedly led the soldiers back to the city, because he was also afraid that he would be targeted by Tang Jun in the field.

The three people who received the news immediately invited Fazheng and Xu Huang to discuss how to deal with them. When the Fazheng heard the words, he was so shocked that he didn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he said: "No wonder I have always felt puzzled. The attack during the day was a trap. However, how many soldiers and horses did the Tang army actually appear to the west? If you can't confirm this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make correct arrangements. Yeah!"

With that, he shook his head helplessly.

Jiang Shan looked at the leftovers as the king said: "The current plan cannot be delayed any longer. We must withdraw immediately. Once the Tang army on the west comes up, we will all be unable to escape. Anyway, since they can Annihilating our six thousand soldiers and horses is certainly not a small number of soldiers and horses, otherwise there would be no such combat power."

"But..." The leftover is the king, but he is not willing to give up easily.

"Yes," Fazheng said, "General Yokoye, I'm not afraid that there will be no firewood. Now that Tang Jun has appeared in the west, then Dingyang will have much meaning to defend. Although they have not yet appeared here. Outside the West Gate, but whether they are not strong enough, or because they need to rest after a great war, the Tang Army is about to block our way to the west. This is already something that should not be allowed to stand. They just appeared outside the West Gate Time is a matter of time. Once they are ready, then we are a dead end."

Seeing that the remaining are still hesitating as the king, Fazheng said again: "If you want to break through, tonight is the last time. Tomorrow, even if the general wants to break through, it is estimated that he will not be able to do it."

The remaining person was the king when he said so, so frightened for a long time that he couldn't speak. After a long time, he said: "As a general, what should we do?"

"First, recruit soldiers." Fazheng replied decisively;

"Recruiting soldiers? We are all leaving. Why are we recruiting some new recruits?" The three asked in a puzzled manner;

"We recruit three thousand to five thousand pawns, and select those with better aptitude as the guards and horses. Then leave one to two thousand pawns, replace all the elites on the wall, and hand these new pawns to the wounded. Led by the old pawn, he was responsible for the night watch and confusing the Tang army in the east."

"Order all the soldiers to rest well in the middle of the night. The army will eat on the second watch and set off on the third watch. They will clear the way with a thousand cavalry and two thousand infantry. After the two thousand cavalry and three thousand elite infantry are broken, the new pawns will guard the food and grass. Therefore, General Yokono must Pack everything that can be loaded and transported overnight, and pack as many gold and silver coins as possible, as well as weapons and equipment. As for food and grass, it will be enough for a month."

"Where is the leftover grain and grass? Are they all burned?" said the leftover for the king;

Fazheng nodded: "Except for these, all the grain and grass we can't take is burned, but it must be burned after the Tang army invades the city. And the soldiers left by the general must be dead."

"Why, leave the cavalry behind and wait for them to burn the food and grass before catching up with most of us?"

"Impossible, the general, don't forget, there are thousands of Tang troops there in Fujiapu. When our more than 10,000 troops pass by, they will surely be spotted by them. In this way, these people must not be able to escape. "

The remaining person found that there was nothing wrong with what Fazheng had said. Finally, he had to say to Xu Huang: "Kongming, do what the French military master said, make arrangements as soon as possible, and then return to the city to preside over the overall situation."

"Nuo!" Xu Huang heard the words and left, heading for the direction of the military camp.

Under the night, changes occurred quietly in Dingyang City, but Tang Jun outside the city knew nothing about it. However, some people in the city also saw some clues from the movement of soldiers and horses. Simon Yang Laoliu was one of them.

It happened to be that Yang Laoliu and his team were on duty at night. In the middle of the night, General Xu Huang recruited five thousand soldiers from suitable young people in the city. This was the first time since the war began. Suddenly recruiting soldiers and horses in the middle of the night was originally a very unexpected thing. Not only that, when Yang Laoliu was ordered to return to the barracks in the middle of the night to pick up some items, he passed through several warehouses and found that they were all urgently loaded with items. Hundreds of trucks were neatly stacked. Wear various items, and then cover them with felt cloth.

Yang Laoliu saw this situation once before. It was the time when he evacuated from Hedong a few years ago. Seeing this situation, Yang Laoliu immediately realized that something must happen tonight.

After returning to the city wall, he had been thinking about what happened in the past few days, and soon thought of a possibility that his general should be running away again.

"Hey, hello, Lao Liu..." The Du Wei next to him noticed Yang Lao Liu's abnormality, and he called him a few times without any response. He walked over quickly and patted him on the shoulder.

"Ah! Captain! Is something wrong?"

"You kid, let you go to the camp to get something once, and it will become like this when you come back. Isn't it an evil?" Du Wei asked when he saw Yang Laoliu finally recovered;

"Nothing." Yang Laoliu shook his head and replied;
