Chapter 3442
As soon as these words came out, Tang Long was immediately confused and had no idea what Qin Mang meant by doing this.
No longer guarding?
Tang Long stared at Qin Mang without saying a word, waiting for the latter's next words.
Qin Mang continued: "Your Majesty, the key point of this war is not that we can block Tang Yu, but whether we can hold Tang Yu back!"
"Right now, the Tang Dynasty is in trouble internally and externally. Tang Yu has chosen to attack us. On the front line of the Tang Dynasty, the armies of Dachu and Nanliang are constantly attacking. The longer Tang Yu delays here, the more dangerous the Tang Dynasty's defense line will become."
Upon hearing this, Tang Long's eyes suddenly lit up and he said excitedly: "I understand!"
"The longer Tang Yu is delayed by us, the more dangerous the Tang Yu's defense line will become. By then Tang Yu will definitely not be able to take care of us to attack Nanliang and Dachu, so we will have time to breathe!"
"Wonderful! General Qin, your plan is so wonderful!"
Tang Long was so excited that he seemed to see a glimmer of light in the darkness.
"So, our plan is very simple, which is to change from passive to active. Anyway, we still have seventeen cities in our hands. If Tang Yu comes to attack one, we will retreat to the next one."

"Fight and retreat. The longer we delay, the more beneficial this war will be to us."
"As time goes by, Tang Yu will definitely return to defend Datang. When the time comes, we can take the opportunity to recapture the lost cities one by one. Moreover, the longer the defense line is stretched, the more time Tang Yu's army will have to replenish."
After that, Qin Mang took out a map and marked the last city for Tang Long.
"Your Majesty, this is our last city. According to my calculations, even if we are pushed back to the last city, it will take at least ten days and a half. If I were Tang Yu, I would never be here. Staying for such a long time, after all, the capital is the most important place, and he will not let Datang fall into crisis under any circumstances."
After Qin Mang's analysis, Tang Long was instantly overjoyed.
As Qin Mang said, the key point of this battle is not to stop Tang Yu, but to hold him back. As long as the time is delayed long enough, Tang Yu will retreat without a fight.
At this moment, an explosion shook the world.
Boom!
A cannonball accurately hit the city gate, causing the entire city wall to shake violently.
Tang Long's expression suddenly changed, and he realized that it was Tang Yu who was attacking.
"So fast?"
Tang Long looked at Qin Mang and said, "General Qin, Tang Yu has already attacked. Should we retreat immediately?"
Qin Mang nodded and said: "Okay, your Majesty will lead the 10,000 city defenders to retreat first, and I will cut off your Majesty's rear. When the city gate is broken, I will lead the army to pursue your Majesty."
"Okay, let's meet at the next city!"
Immediately, Tang Long led 10,000 city defenders to retreat quietly.
At this time, outside the city gate.
Tang Yu led an army to the city, and hundreds of thousands of troops surrounded the entire city.
"Your Majesty, it has been confirmed that Tang Long and Qin Mang are hiding in the city. Tang Long's city defenders only have 20,000 people left. As long as we can break through the city, we will definitely capture Tang Long and others in one fell swoop."
Hearing this, Tang Yu nodded with satisfaction, thinking that Tang Long, Qin Mang and others were doomed.
"Where's the Italian cannon? Keep firing at me!"
Boom!
In an instant, the sky was filled with artillery fire.
