But now, this respite has disappeared.

This battle...

There is no possibility of overturning!

Unless Lin Jun can wake up and appear on the flank with an army.

Otherwise, Longhuazhou will be gone!

Tears kept falling, and the enemy general choked with sobs and shouted: "Withdraw! Withdraw!"

In the dark, both the enemy and ourselves are equally dangerous.

But the Northern Xinjiang Army was too cunning. Instead of rushing to encircle their opponent, they spread their wings and chose to expand the encirclement.

In this way, our own casualties are reduced as much as possible.

This method was used easily and comfortably, and the enemy general almost concluded that it was the work of the Duke of Qin.

Facing this famous general of the Tang Dynasty, he knew that he had no chance of victory. Therefore, it was the right way to escape with his men and increase the strength of the defenders.

Defending a city can always demonstrate the garrison's superiority better than fighting in the field.

But it’s too late!

In the darkness, Yang Xuan rode his horse to the flank.

The night wind blew loudly, making his cloak flutter.

"Destroying this group of cavalry will greatly weaken the fighting spirit and strength of the defenders. Tell them to surround them and kill them slowly!"

Ta-ta-ta!

Yang Xuan raised his head when he heard the sound and saw flames soaring into the sky in the distance!

"Who is it?"

Jiang Cunzhong raised his eyebrows, "My lord, please send someone to intercept him."

Night blindness was common in this era, and you had to light a torch to fight in the dark.

But even so, the possibility of killing himself is not small.

That's why Yang Xuan ordered to expand the encirclement and slowly strangle his opponents.

But what I didn't expect was that a guest came from afar.

No wine, just a hunting knife!

Just as Yang Xuang was about to give the order, he heard cheers from a distance.

"Wan Sheng!"

Yang Xuan put away his sword and said with a smile: "Zhou Jian is here."

Zhou Jian arrived with his men and completely blocked the enemy's path.

Zhou Jian came around with dozens of horses.

"I've met the Duke."

"I thought you would wait in the wings, but I didn't expect you to be prepared. Do you know that if I arrive a step late, when you arrive, I will lose at least 20% of the baggage."

Twenty percent of the baggage would make Taoxian County furious.

Pei Jian said: "Xiaguan has been following the enemy. If we had attacked earlier, the enemy would have escaped."

Yang Xuan looked at him, "The only way is to let the enemy disperse and set fire... It is easy to disperse at night, but difficult to regroup in the sky. In this way, you can easily defeat the enemy!"

"The Duke is wise!" Pei Jian secretly praised his boss, "There are more than ten thousand defenders. If these three thousand cavalry are allowed to escape, they will cause a lot of trouble to our army in the subsequent siege, and it will not be done well.

Our army can still be held back for a few days. If our army is stagnant for a few days, it will consume more than 60% of the food and grass delivered this time. Therefore, the official chose to wait."

This man is so cold-blooded?

Jiang Heer curled his lips.

He Lianyan patted her shoulder gently, "Don't say anything."

Torch hunting, Yang Xuan looked at Pei Jian, "As the saying goes, one general's achievements are worth thousands of bones. As a general, you should cherish your soldiers. This is small love. What is great love? Use the least casualties to achieve the goal. Well done!"

"The Duke is wise." Pei Jian then withdrew.

When he arrived at the general, Jiang Cunzhong said: "The method is good, but if I change the general, I'm afraid you will be punished tonight! It's not that the general doesn't understand the truth, but he needs to punish you to win people's hearts!"

Of course Pei Jian knew this, "I have confidence in the Duke!"

An encirclement is formed ahead.

Then it slowly shrank.

"Yang Gou is there!"

Yang Xuan was under the banner, surrounded by torches, making it look like daylight.

Very eye-catching.

The enemy will come with hundreds of horsemen, gnashing their teeth and charging towards them.

"Is this stupid?"

The old thief shook his head and raised his hand, "Archer..."

"Fire the arrow!"

The rain of arrows covered it, and they immediately attacked.

"Second brother." Yang Xuan pointed to the enemy general, "Bring him here."

Wang Laoer had long been impatient and rushed out on his own.

"Second brother, wait!"

The two elders packed the sacks and followed.

Jiang He'er now understood, "Actually, it means doing arithmetic. Use any method that can reduce the number of people killed. However, you take human life too lightly."

He Lianyan sighed: "You are carefree, but you don't know that being kind to a general is another kind of cruelty. The army is fighting, and people are dying every moment. If the general has to struggle for everyone, how can he be so cruel?

Do you have time to think about how to deal with the enemy?"

Yang Xuan listened to the chatter behind him and felt calm.

He was very satisfied with Pei Jian's performance tonight.

Yang Lue, Pei Jian, Nan He, Jiang Cunzhong...

These four people are his favorite generals.

Four King Kong?

This idea suddenly appeared in Yang Xuan's mind and he couldn't help but smile.

If he can succeed in revolting, he will face many challenges. Let's not mention the internal challenges for now. Externally, if Bei Liao is not destroyed, he will have to send a large general to attack.

There are also Southern Zhou, Luoluo...

And Chang'an also needs generals to be in charge.

It seems like the manpower is a bit tight.

Tu Shang has no enterprising spirit and only has eyes for the second child.

The old thief can be used, but he is not a handsome man.

The rest needs to be discovered slowly.

Yang Lue and Pei Jian... Yang Xuan squinted his eyes and thought to himself, these two people can command a large army and act alone.

Nan He still needs to practice.

As for Jiang Cunzhong, he is resourceful but lacks decisiveness, which also requires experience.

The so-called handsome talent must be honed in battles.

Like bits of gravel, they were polished to their brilliance in the fighting.

And the price is to kill Yingye.

"Duke!"

Wang Laoer came carrying the enemy.

"torture!"

Yang Xuan waved his hand, and the old thief dismounted with a smile, but Jielong appeared.

"Take it away, don't disturb the Duke!" Jielong turned around and saluted, his smile was a bit flattering.

He Lianyan covered her forehead, "I'm competing with He Lianrong again!"

The old thief laughed dryly, lowered his head, and cursed, "This is my job!"

Tu Shang said calmly: "Your job is to lead the army."
