In Dingbian County, more than 5,000 riot troops, including Zhang Zhongming, passed very quietly for five days, several officers above 1,000 generals were directly summoned by Zhang Zhongming.

Faced with these confidants, Zhang Zhongming did not hesitate and said bluntly...

"Brothers, we have been trapped in Dingbian County for more than half a month... The remaining food is only enough for us in five days..."

"What does this mean? I believe everyone knows... Maybe some people will say that in three days, we will not fulfill our promises, and will not let go of the more than 700 prisoners in our hands. We will continue to threaten the Tiger and Leopard Army with these prisoners... But what I want to tell you is that any method can only be used once. If we fail to fulfill our promises, we will not only not continue to threaten the Tiger and Leopard Army, but will also anger them..."

"So, three days later, we must fulfill our promise and release people..."

"Losing prisoners, coupled with the exhaustion of food... In five days, even if there is no Tiger and Leopard Army attack, hunger will be hungry to us..."

"So, I will decide... before returning the prisoners to the Tiger and Leopard Army, while the Tiger and Leopard Army is not prepared, give up Dingbian County and break out in Ningxia... As long as we return to Ningxia, we can continue to survive..."

A stone stirred up a thousand waves... As soon as Zhang Zhongming finished speaking, several subordinates became excited. Some agreed, some opposed, and of course some watched the change.

At this time, a Qianmao suddenly asked: "General, the last general wants to know whether the entire army will break through together, or only a part will break through, and the remaining soldiers will continue to stay in Dingbian County to cover the breakout troops and ask the Tiger and Leopard Army to pursue..."

Compared with Zhang Zhongming, Mr. Qian's words are not as shocking as that.

However, this sentence is even more tempting... because this sentence directly reminds them of a breakthrough six months ago.

In order for himself and his elites to survive, Commander Zhang Zhongming directly left the main force behind and fled with a few elites.

Although these thousand generals are the elites in Zhang Zhongming's eyes, they were brought out by Zhang Zhongming.

However, in their opinion, what Zhang Zhongming did was so disappointing...

Now, they have to face the choice of breaking through again... If only a few people make a breakthrough, it means that at least one person must stay among these people...

As for whoever stays, it depends on what Zhang Zhongming thinks... After all, Zhang Zhongming is still their commander.

So, just as Mr. Qian said the question, a few people became active.

A pair of eyes, as if they had been negotiated. At the same time, they gathered together on Zhang Zhongming and waited for Zhang Zhongming to answer with full expectations.

As the commander-in-chief, Zhang Zhongming certainly knew what everyone was thinking.

Without thinking, he answered: "The Tiger and Leopard Army is eyeing ten miles outside the city. It is impossible to avoid their reconnaissance... So, this time, except for the wounded soldiers who cannot move, everyone breaks through... As for whether they can break through, it depends on your luck..."

"Luck..." Hearing these two words, several thousand generals directly showed a puzzled expression on their faces...

Facing everyone's eyes, Zhang Zhongming spoke directly and affirmed: "Yes, it's luck... I plan to break through four routes in four different directions... The Cavalry Division of the Tiger and Leopard Army only has three regiments of troops, and at most it can only catch up with three of the breakout troops... So I said, whether you can escape these three routes of pursuit depends on your luck..."

"The four-way breakthrough troops will undoubtedly return to Ningxia only by breaking west. However, unexpectedly, after Zhang Zhongming finished his words, no one chose to break west..."

In their eyes, they knew that they could return to Ningxia as soon as possible after breaking west. The Tiger and Leopard Army also knew.

Therefore, during the pursuit process, the soldiers who break out to the west will definitely be the focus of the pursuit of the Tiger and Leopard Army...

Seeing that everyone chose the direction of breaking through, but ignored the direction to the west, Zhang Zhongming's face suddenly flashed an unaware smile.

At the beginning, Zhang Zhongming's thoughts were the same as theirs. The Tiger and Leopard Army would definitely focus on pursuing the army breaking out in Ningxia.

However, after thinking about it seriously, Zhang Zhongming suddenly realized that he had thought it was wrong...

If the Tiger and Leopard Army focuses on pursuing the westward breakthrough troops, there will be a breakout troops all the way, and they will ask the Tiger and Leopard Army to control it in a short period of time.

With the equipment and limited food and grass in the hands of the soldiers, as long as they are willing, they can definitely bring serious damage to the surrounding counties in a short period of time...

Compared with eliminating oneself, reducing the losses of the soldiers and the casualties and losses of the people in Shaanxi is obviously more important for the Tiger and Leopard Army, which loves the people as their children and pays great attention to the people's hearts.

Therefore, as long as you break through, the Tiger and Leopard Army will surely eliminate the enemies still active in Shaanxi as soon as possible...

Of course, Zhang Zhongming would not say this secret at this critical moment of life and death.

After confirming everyone's choice again, Zhang Zhongming decided directly: "Since that's the case, the breaking force towards the west will be commanded by the general himself... However, in a few days, all the equipment and firearms of the Tiger and Leopard Army must be equipped with more than a thousand soldiers commanded by the general... Because, everyone knows that breaking towards the west is the most dangerous..."

No matter from any aspect, there is no reason for everyone to refuse this request.

Therefore, more than a thousand new muskets, tens of thousands of grenades and supporting ammunition equipped by the field troops of the Tiger and Leopard Army fell into Zhang Zhongming's hands without surprise.

When several thousand generals left Zhang Zhongming's room one after another, Zhang Zhongming, who had been in a long time, finally laughed and laughed very happily.

He believed that the troops he led would definitely ask the Tiger and Leopard Army to pursue them...

With more than a thousand new muskets and tens of thousands of grenades, as long as time allows, you will dominate the entire Ningxia without any problem...

Zhang Zhongming, who was smiling happily, seemed to have seen his successful answer to Ningxia and become the King of Ningxia...

One night later, under the cover of night, more than 5,000 riot soldiers carrying only weapons and five days of dry food were like ghosts in the night, quietly leaving Dingbian County and starting their escape.

Under the cover of night, news that should have been transmitted to Sun Chengzong's ears in half an hour was only half an hour before it reached Sun Chengzong's ears. At this time, Zhang Zhongming's four-way breakthrough troops had already left Dingbian County seven or eight miles away...
