Chapter 1267

What Liu Shang didn't know was that when they felt that there was nothing they could do, those people in dingyang city were already worried, even in a state of panic.

Six thousand soldiers left the city, but none of them came back. How many Tang soldiers are there outside the city?

You know, there are less than 20000 soldiers in dingyang. The rest of them were the king. At first, he had 10000 troops, but when Xu Huang withdrew from Hukou town to dingyang, he lost 2500 people. So when the battle began in dingyang City, he had only 7500 people left. In addition, Jiangshan brought 4000 cavalry and 5000 soldiers, a total of 9000 troops; there are also 3000 soldiers brought by xiongba, a total of 19000 troops.

In recent days, 5000 or 6000 people have been lost in the war. Xu Huang is still very powerful. Only when he controls the deployment of troops and horses very accurately can he have such a result. If he changes to an ordinary general, it is estimated that the casualties will double. You know, the Tang army's attacking soldiers were the most elite battalions, not ordinary soldiers.

Today, however, five thousand soldiers left the city like a bullock entering the sea. There was no sound. How could they not make a few people tremble. Now there are five thousand soldiers and three thousand cavalry left in the city.

At the request of the king, Jiangshan orders Liu Bao to lead the remaining 3000 Hun cavalry out of the city to find the news of the 6000 troops. When it gets dark, Liu Bao leads the cavalry back in a hurry. The news makes several people fall into the ice cave and the 6000 troops fly away.

Liu Bao has been searching to fujiabao, but has not seen a soldier, even a corpse. Only on the wall of fujiabao, there are soldiers and horses on duty. Liu Bao sent someone to look at it quietly, and confirmed that it was Wu Ning of Tang army. Then he hurried back to the city, because he was afraid that he would be watched by Tang army in the field.

The three people who got the news immediately invited Fazheng and Xu Huang to discuss how to deal with it. When Fazheng heard the speech, he was so surprised that he didn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he said: "no wonder I always feel puzzled. It turns out that the attack in the daytime is a trap. However, how many soldiers and horses of the Tang army appeared in the west? If you can't confirm this, I'm afraid it's difficult to make the right arrangement! "

Then he shook his head helplessly.

Jiangshan looked at the rest and said, "we can't delay our present plan any longer. We must withdraw immediately. Once the Tang army in the West encircles us, we can't run away. In any case, since they can completely annihilate our 6000 troops, they are certainly not a small number of troops, otherwise they would not have such combat power. "

"But..." The rest is king, but they are not willing to give up easily.

"That's right," said Fazheng. "General Hengye, I'm not afraid of no firewood. Now that the Tang army has appeared in the west, dingyang has more or less significance to keep. Although they have not appeared at the west gate yet, whether they are not strong enough or need to rest after a big war, the Tang army is going to block our way to the West. This is a matter of time. Once they are ready, we will be dead. "

Seeing that the remaining king was still hesitating, Fazheng said, "if you want to break through, tonight is the last time. Tomorrow, even if the general wants to break through, it's impossible."

The rest was king. He was so scared that he couldn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he said, "how should we act as a general?"

"First, recruit soldiers." FA Zheng answered firmly,

"conscription? We're all leaving. What are we going to recruit for? " After hearing the speech, the three men were puzzled and asked;

"enlist 3000 to 5000 soldiers, and select the ones with better qualifications as the soldiers and horses of the guard. Then one or two thousand soldiers were left to replace all the elite on the city wall, and these new soldiers were given to the injured old soldiers to lead them, who were responsible for guarding the night and confusing the Tang army in the East. "

"He ordered all the soldiers to have a good rest in the middle of the night, to eat at the second shift, to set out at the third shift, and to open the way with 1000 cavalry and 2000 infantry. After the two thousand cavalry and 3000 elite infantry were cut off, the new soldiers would guard the food and supplies. So, general Hengye must pack all the things that can be loaded and transported overnight, and pack as many gold, silver, coins, weapons and equipment as possible. As for food and grass, we can meet our needs for a month. "

"What about the rest of the grain? And burn it all? " The rest of them said to the king;

FA Zheng nodded: "except for these, we can't take all the grain and grass with us. However, we must burn them after the Tang army invades the city. And all the soldiers left by the general must be dead. "

"Why don't we just leave the cavalry and wait for them to burn up the food and grass before catching up with most of us?"

"It's impossible, general. Don't forget that there are thousands of Tang troops in fujiabao. When more than 10000 troops pass by, they will find us. In this way, these people will not escape."

The rest of the king found that what Fazheng said was not wrong at all. Finally, he had to say to Xu Huang, "Gongming, do what the French military adviser said, make arrangements as soon as possible, and then come back to the city to take charge of the overall situation.""No!" After hearing the speech, Xu Huang left and went to the direction of the barracks.

Under the night, dingyang city quietly changed, but the Tang army outside the city knew nothing about it. However, some people in the city also see some clues from the transfer of troops and horses. Ximen Yang Laoliu is one of them.

It happened that it was Yang Laoliu and his troops on duty tonight. In the first half of the night, General Xu Huang recruited 5000 soldiers from the suitable young people in the city. This was the first time since the war. Suddenly recruiting soldiers and horses in the middle of the night is a very unexpected thing. Not only that, when Yang Laoliu was ordered to go back to the military camp in the middle of the night to pick up some goods, he went through several warehouses and found that there were urgent goods in them. Hundreds of luggage trucks were neatly stacked with all kinds of goods, and then they were covered with felt.

Yang Laoliu had seen this situation once before, 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 kept thinking about what happened in the past few days, and soon came up with the possibility that his general would run away again.

"Ah, Hello, Lao Liu..." The Duwei next to him found Yang Laoliu's abnormality, called him a few times, but there was no response. He quickly came over, patted him on the shoulder and said;

"ah! Captain! Can I help you? "

"You boy, let you go to the camp to get things once, and then you come back like this. Is it evil?" When Du Wei saw that Yang Laoliu had finally recovered, he quickly asked,

"nothing's wrong." Yang Laoliu shakes his head and answers;

he does not know what to do
