When Lin Kuo's troops arrived at Guning City, the Azure Dragon Army retreated 20 miles, leaving room for movement.

Regardless of character, Lin Kuo's 30,000 Shunjun Army is still a strong force, and it would be bad to be attacked from both sides.

After retreating, the Azure Dragon Legion was even more threatening. It was easy to enter the city, but difficult to leave the city.

Lin Kuo already regretted entering Guning City so quickly.

"What do you think I have to enter the city so quickly? Isn't it just as helpful to defend the city outside the city? I'm even more active than now. What a mistake!"

Lin Kuo talked with several of his subordinates at his residence.

Outside the city, he can advance or retreat, and if the rebels don't continue to attack Guning City, he can catch up faster.

Although it is safer to enter the city, the reaction is more than a little slower.

Neither he nor the guard of Guning City dared to easily send scouts out of the city to investigate.

In terms of single-person combat and small-scale combat capabilities, the Divine Guard is much stronger than them!

It's not impossible to detect intelligence after leaving the city, but the cost is too high.

Often two or three hundred scouts go out of the city, and less than 30% of them can return to the city in the end.

Even if they had 100,000 scouts, they couldn't bear such a loss.

Take the whole army out to investigate intelligence every day?

Do you think it's an armed parade?

Lin Kuo looked at the subordinate who made such a suggestion, and really wanted to open his head to see if there was Nong Xie Te inside!

Zhao Long didn't worry about whether he could capture Guning City.

Yes, better!

No, and it doesn't matter.

Anyway, there are still so many places to attack in Cheng'an County.

Why did Cheng'an County become the location of the decisive battle between the two sides.

Because it is big!

Bigness is not necessarily the only reason, but it must be.

Otherwise, hundreds of thousands of people can't get rid of it, so why talk about a decisive battle?

Gong Yi has always firmly believed that as long as any city on the defense line is breached, the entire defense line will be as if it were in vain.

Zhao Long is verifying this statement.

The vast land behind the Shun Army defense line has become a paradise for Zhao Long to roam freely.

Most of the main force of the Shun Army is in the cities on the defense line, and the rest are either in the county town or only the 30,000 Shun Army in the hands of Lin Kuo.

The other Shun troops were all county soldiers and county soldiers. There were a lot of them, but their combat power was not strong.

Zhao Long adopted a very bold tactic. He left 10,000 people to attack Guning City with him, and the other 30,000 people went to attack other targets.

Hearing this order, Zhao Long's guard generals were a little worried.

"10,000 people is a little less, general, or else it's better to keep 5,000 more, which is safer."

Zhao Long waved his hand, "No, 10,000 people are enough, they dare not come out!"

It's not Zhao Long's arrogance, as long as the scouts in Guning City don't find out their situation for a day, Lin Kuo won't dare to come out.

Zhao Long's speculation is a bit bold, but the accuracy is quite high.

The premise is that Lin Kuo does not know that there are only 10,000 people left in the Azure Dragon Legion outside.

Once he knows, he will definitely go out of the city to destroy the Azure Dragon Army.

With 40,000 people, he still has to think about whether he can win, and with 10,000 people, what else is there to think about? The fight is over!

According to Zhao Long's speculation, Lin Kuo would reduce the number of out-of-city scouts in the event of a large number of casualties among the out-of-city scouts.

This was indeed the case on the first day. The huge casualties made Lin Kuo very heartbroken. Reducing the number of scouts leaving the city would not have a big impact on defending the city. Why not do this?

Of course, it is impossible to withdraw all of them. At least a few pairs of eyes must be left outside, otherwise they will really become blind guards.

It's just that God doesn't always favor the Divine Guard, he sometimes glances at other people.

This time God liked Lin Kuo better. Although the number of scouts he sent out was reduced to one-third, the harvest was even greater than before.

Gu "Are you sure that there are really only 10,000 rebels outside?"

Lin Kuo asked the scout captain in surprise.

Not even surprise, but shock.

The scout lieutenant did not dare to characterize such important information lightly, so he could only say: "I went out of the city to observe during the day, and based on the number of fireworks in the camp, even if it is more than 10,000, it will not exceed 15,000." people."

He didn't dare to speak too seriously, and he also considered whether this was another trap set by the rebels.

From the beginning to the present, the Divine Guard Army has laid many traps for them, otherwise those famous generals would not have been defeated so quickly and thoroughly.

The fact that the Shun Army didn't pay much attention to the Divine Guard at the beginning also had a lot to do with their combat methods.

A powerful army does not need to use too many intrigues and tricks, it can be crushed by hard power.

And the Divine Guard Army is so peculiar, they obviously have great strength, but they just like to use tricks to win.

And they are all strategies that look simple but are difficult to implement.

Switching to a weaker army to implement these tactics has a far greater chance of overturning than success.

It wasn't until the Shenwei Army's plans came true again and again that the Shun Army began to pay attention to this powerful rebel army who liked to use special methods to win.

But it's too late!

The Divine Guard has become a climate, and it has become impossible for Shunguo to destroy the Divine Guard.

In fact, when Yang Yuan became the lieutenant of Cangyang County and gradually took control of Cangyang County, Shunguo lost the possibility of eliminating the Divine Guard Army.

It's just that Yang Yuan didn't decide to quickly overthrow Shun Guo's rule at the beginning.

Before he knew it, he was on the verge of occupying a hegemonic country.

Guning City~lightnovelpub.net~ Lin Kuo still couldn't resist the temptation to wipe out all 10,000 rebels, and decided to take the initiative to go out of the city and wipe out Zhao Long's troops.

The premise is that he can rule out this as a trap.

"As long as it's not a trap, it doesn't matter if the number is a little bit close, and fifteen thousand is fine."

Zhao Long noticed that Lin Kuo wanted to go out of the city to fight.

"The number of scouts leaving Guning City today is wrong, there are too many."

Zhao Long immediately asked the scout captain to bring more Azure Dragon Legion scouts to intercept the scouts from Guning City.

"Don't let them get close to the camp."

He guessed that Lin Kuo must have doubts about the strength of the troops in his camp, although he didn't know how Lin Kuo knew.

But looking at the changes in Shunjun's scouts, Zhao Long thought his guess should be fine.

Maybe he didn't launch the siege yesterday, or some lucky scout saw the scene of 30,000 Qinglong soldiers leaving.

In short, Lin Kuo had doubts, and Zhao Long had to find a way to deal with them.

Another fierce scout battle.

Lin Kuo didn't care whether there would be huge casualties, so he sent out a thousand scouts.

Among them, there must be soldiers who were recruited temporarily.

As long as there are capable soldiers, they can be sent out of the city!

Of course, Lin Kuo didn't intend to send them out of the city to die. He had made sufficient preparations and promised a generous reward.

It can be said that as long as you can come back alive, you can get at least thirty taels of silver. If you can bring back important news, the highest reward will be upgraded to three levels in a row.

For an ordinary soldier, it is one step to reach the sky.

For these rewards, they dared to break through even if it was dangerous outside the city.

No matter which country is above Zhongzhou, people who join the army have (at least) one purpose, to stand out!

People die and birds turn upside down, immortal for thousands of years!

Done!
