Chapter 3443

Soon, under the constant bombardment of artillery shells, the thick city gate was blasted open.

Tang Yu's army instantly filed into the city and started fighting with the defenders on the city wall.

In less than half a stick of incense, Tang Yu's army occupied the city.

This also made Tang Yu realize that something was wrong.

"Your Majesty, we have searched the city and found no trace of Tang Long and Qin Mang!"

"Your Majesty, there are only more than a thousand troops defending the city. It seems that Tang Long has led the army to escape!"

Li Jing and Zhao Yun came to Tang Yu one after another to report on the battle situation.

They searched the entire city and found no trace of Tang Long or the others.

Moreover, a large number of footprints appeared behind the city, which was enough to prove that Tang Long had led his army to escape from the city.

Escaped?

Remember URL

Tang Yu frowned slightly. He obviously did not expect that Tang Long would escape. Logically speaking, Tang Long should fight to the death.

The next second, Tang Yu looked at Xu Shize and asked, "Old Xu, what do you think of this matter?"

If something goes wrong in the division, there must be a monster. Tang Long fled without a fight, probably plotting something.

Xu Shize pondered for a moment, seemed to have thought of something, and immediately took out a map to mark all the cities.

Soon, Xu Shize made a new discovery: "Your Majesty, I know what Tang Long is planning."

"Tang Long knows that he is no match for us, so he does not intend to block us, but to hold us back!"

Xu Shize marked all the cities occupied by Tang Long. Tang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and the look in his eyes gradually became cold.

Maybe others don't know what Xu Shize means.

But Tang Yu saw the clues at a glance.

"The battle line has been stretched!" Tang Yu said solemnly.

Xu Shize nodded slightly and said: "Yes, Tang Long wants to use the method of fighting and retreating to delay us, gradually lengthening the front line, and then our supply time will also increase."

Xu Shize pointed at the last city occupied by Tang Long.

"According to this situation, in less than half a month, Tang Long will be pushed back to the last city by us, and the distance between us and the capital will become farther and farther."

"If there is any problem with Datang's defense line at this time, we will not be able to quickly return reinforcements."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Even Li Jing and Zhao Yun were shocked. They didn't expect that Tang Long's retreat would hide so many profound meanings.

It's scary to think about it.

If Tang Long is allowed to escape back to the last city, even if Tang Yu attacks it, it will be meaningless. After all, the capital is the top priority of the Tang Dynasty, and Tang Yu must not let Da Chu and Nanliang occupy the capital.

Moreover, once they return to aid the Tang Dynasty, the cities they conquered before will also be occupied by Tang Long again.

"This is trouble."

Tang Yu frowned, realizing that Tang Long was deliberately delaying time and turning the battle into a tug-of-war.

The longer it takes, the worse it will be for them.

"Old Xu, what can you do?"

Xu Shize looked at Tang Yu, and then said: "Yes, Dang Duan continues to suffer the chaos. Since Tang Long wants to extend the battle line, then we will do the opposite!"

In an instant, the eyes of everyone present were focused on Xu Shize.
